Got a few questions about editing HD videos(1280x720, H.264) in Adobe Premiere CS3?

Check out my settings below. I'm using Adobe Premiere CS3 (PC) and I'm sure the basic settings can be applied to almost any NLEs. 1.

Shoot your video at 720 or 1080. 2. Capture in HD (of course, don't downcovert to SD) 3.

Edit in HD 4. Export to 1280x720, H.264 codec(a), 5Mbps, compressed audio(b). Notes: (a) use QuickTime or MainConcept's H.264, (b) Apple Lossless, AAC, or MP3 works.

See the video: YouTube - Export HD Quality 1280x720 Widescreen Settings for YouTube HD Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Export Settings (Use (Adobe Media Encoder" not "Export Movie") Format: QuickTime Range: ~ Preset: YouTube HD (this is the name of MY preset) Summary: 1280x720, fps, Progressive, 24-bit - Color Apple Lossless, 32 kHz, Stereo Alternates: 0 Video Codec: H.264 Quality: 100 Frame Width pixels: 1,280 Frame Height pixes: 720 Frame Rate fps: 29.97 Field Order: Non (Progressive) Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0) Set Bitrate kbps: 5,000 kbps Uncheck everything else in Filters, Alternates, and Others watch in you tube the created HD video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zzGQqGFhc sources : http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/dvd-web-video-delivery/138914-hd-you-tube.html another very good guide resources: (sure this will work I think) http://exposureroom.com/members/skumar.aspx/articles/post/33.

I don't beleive it is hardware issue. The E6550 should be fast enough to handle the situation. Its not even 1080p, I might worry if it were 1080p.

If you can get your hands on CS4 just to try. They have integrated GPU acceleration in that. So that could fix it if it is hardware related.

Other option is if you can get or record 480 or 1080p video in the same format as your 720p video, you could try importing it and see if you still have the skipping frames. Obviously if it skips more or less. Its hardware related.(CPU) or HDD either it cant read the massive video content or the CPU cant process it fast enough.

The GPU solution with CS4 could bypass the problem. If its the HDD then you need to get your hands on a faster 7200rpm or 10krpm to use as your video editing drive. Adobe also uses hard drive space for "scratch" space.It is best to have this not on a primary drive.

It's in the preferences I beleive. Seeing as I know more about hardware and less about premier. If you get a better response regarding premiere use their advice before using my hardware related advice.

Well the problem is pretty simple ,the problem does not lie with the RAM ,the problem falls squarely with the speed of your chip,processer . Your processor speed is 2.33GHz whereas the Very minimum processor speed to edit HD in CS3 is Dual 2.8 GHz.i. E you need to upgrade your processor preferably to 3.0 Ghz to be on the safe side.

Also your Screen resolution at 1280x720 pixels falls far below the required 1280 by 900 . You need an open GL 2.0 graphics card too im not sure whether that GeForce Card is up to the job . Change those three issues and you will be set to edit.

I hope this information was helpful.

If the problem is with the video skipping while you're editing it, then all you need to do is downgrade the quality of the preview. The problem is that you're trying to preview what you're editing in full HD, while the computer is struggling to keep up. Right click on the preview pane, and change the quality setting to minimum.

Another problem it could be is the poor reading ability of your hard drive. Make sure that your scratch disk is your quickest HDD, and that do some benchmarks on it to make sure it can handle reading HD video. Premiere itself doesn't actually work with the HD footage.It indexes it and downsamples it when previewing so that it operates much quicker than with full HD.

You obviously have a quality setting somewhere that needs to be fixed. As someone said above, CS4 is one option (GPu rendering), however your specs are absolutely fine for editing HD video.

I have included images depicting the settings necessary.Updated... Make sure you have similar settings, because if the default base settings are incorrect, everything else will be based on that... Good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
