CS3: New project preset for HD video gives 1440 but surely its 1920 ?

Hi,

dusting off Premiere Pro CS3 as after 2 days of hell I cant get DaVinciResolve to even add a photo to a timeline and make it 3 mins without crashing.

I launch PP CS3, select new project and select HDV, I think thats right as I see no other HD video options.

But its 1440 x 1080p 25fps...eh ???

I know TV HD to be 1920x1080, my still image is 1920 x 1080

How do I set up a new project for HD 1920x1080 in CS3 as this cannot be right at all.

PAL 25fps by the way.

I simply wish to make a 1920x1080 pixel size jpg, (or would it work with .tiff ? DVT wont goes black) last for 3 mins and save as .mpg or will I need to make an .avi then convert that to .mpg ?

How do I make it 3 mins ?

I also wonder, will in fact CS3 be able to edit .mpg files as the last time I used PP it only liked .avi hence again why I am having to try and learn Resolve.

Cheers

When you create a new Sequence, make sure to click on Settings and set the Editing Mode to Custom. Now you can change everything you want.

Hi,

CS3

I go new project and have two tabs, load preset and custom settings, if I choose HDV 1080p and then go custom settings the 1440 is fixed, cant edit it, what are the exact steps to create a new project in CS3 and get at this 'new sequence' that you show as I cant find it. white on black by the way looks new style , my CS3 is black on light grey.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks,

Profile gave Baseline, main and High so no messing about choose High, and levels started offering 1920 at 4.2, others being 5 and 5.1 so I chose 5.1 maxing everything. I want this test chart top notch !

It now makes the video.

I play it in my video player jaksta, also win media player, also MPC-HC and its crisp and sharp then halfway through this 3 min video the chart goes fuzzy, double images appear, its alive ! a right old mess.

I remake the .mp4 again making sure the PC isnt accessing anything, play it and same problem.

What is happening ?

I have also created another timeline with an SD sized test chart, 720x576, MPEG2 PAL 25fps all things fall into place as there is a preset for this.

Makes the video .mv2 so I rename that .mpg as I dont want to have to start searching on two file names for an .mpg

It plays fine, and no mess like the .mp4

I open it into VideoReDo TVsuite 6 my prog for creating mp4 from DVD_RTAV folders, and it says 'editing of elementary streams is not yet supported'.

It was too good to be true, a preset for PAL 25fps mpeg2 so what did I do wrong ?

How do I make a NON elementary stream ?

My settings are for the HD .mp4 and also the SD .mpg as follows , also shows the mess starts after 1m 28secs of perfection , which sees the numbers double then single, and the artefacts appearing disappearing but always amess from then on.

Hi,

Had hoped to know what I did wrong, as I cannot work with still images until someone tells me.

Static chart 1920x1080 plays fine then at 50% of its play time it goes messy and animated. WHY ?

see attached images.

Method:

Follow Ann Benns method. Profile gave choices of Baseline, main and High so no messing about I choose High, and levels started offering 1920 HD resolution at 4.2, others being 5 and 5.1 so I chose 5.1 thus maxing everything. I want this test chart top notch !

It now makes the video.

I play result my video player jaksta, also win media player, also MPC-HC and its crisp and sharp then halfway through this 3 min video the chart goes fuzzy, double images appear, its alive ! a right old mess.

I remake the .mp4 again, making sure the PC isnt accessing anything, I play the result and same problem.

What is happening ?

I also, this time being able to select a preset, make an SD sized test chart, 720x576, MPEG2 PAL 25fps all things fall into place.

It makes the video .mv2 so I rename that .mpg as I dont want to have to start searching on two file names for an .mpg in the future.

It plays fine, and no mess like the .mp4

Videoredo though tells me rejectd as its elementary, needs a container, so how do I get Premiere preset for .mpg to make a non elementary .mpg ?
