New to Premiere Pro. Coming from FCP and Media Composer.

I can't seem to set up a 720x486 project/sequence.
720x480 seems to be the only choice.

None exist in the presets and the settings that might allow me to
manually adjust the frame size are grayed out and unavailable.

Even the title safe photoshop files do not include a 720x486 version.

Hi, may I ask about the correct sequence settings?

In the event where I need to compile a video from multiple sources of cameras, how do I keep to ensure the sequence is right?

I have recently tried to compile a video without taking note of the sequence, and the photos and videos I imported seems to lose the sharpness and clarity.

I have attached the link to my original post with videos for better illustration.

Video/Photo quality got compressed after importing and even exporting

This is where the Custom editing mode comes into play. Just click the Settings tab in the New Sequence dialog, select "Custom" from the Editing Mode drop down, and set your parameters to suit.

For example:

Be sure to use the Save Preset button at the bottom after you're done customizing in order to easily create a sequence later using these settings.

Well, it doesn't quite work that way on my system. But your answer did lead me down the right path.

When I go to the settings in the new sequence dialogue box there is no option for "custom".

But there is "desktop".

So I chose desktop and found that I could make the manual adjustments necessary and then save

them to a new "custom" sequence preset.

But already my faith in Premiere Pro as being a professional edit system is shaken as there are plenty

of presets for 720x480 but none for 720x486. If you are editing for broadcast, going out to digibeta, 720x486

is the standard.

You're on CS5, which you didn't mention. CS5.5 changed the name to "Custom." Same difference.

Why? No tapeless formats work at 720x480; only tape-based video does, and you need third-party hardware in order to ingest from those. If this is enough to rattle you on Premiere Pro, you're gonna hate it
