Premiere Pro CS4 video fills the whole frame.

My Windows Movie Maker has stopped working so I bought it and I regret it completely. WMM is so simple and straightforward. I don't want a software that takes a genius to use. Even I could design a better software.

In any case, for some reason when I import a video on my project it fills the screen. It is black boarder thick around her. I did research it and I saw a lot of things on the elongation or something like that. But I'm not a computer genius and adobe is expected of course as everyone else so I was wondering if someone could help me. Thank you.

Heres a pic so it can help.

Welcome to the forum.

When its assets are either zoom-in, or have black bands around them, in the timeline, it is usually because the predefined sequence/project does not have the 100% source footage.

In CS4, when you create a new project, they will set some preferences global and then invited to create a new sequence (chronology). It is here that we will need to know the full specs. their source files, and then select a predefined sequence to match these assets 100%. There are many Presets and then one 'special', the desktop Preset. What makes this 'special', is that you can set almost all the parameters for costume/game, such as the size of the image (this is where you are off), FPS, etc.

If you can tell us the complete specifications. of your source footage, anyone can tell you exactly what Preset to choose, or how to customize the desktop Preset to match. That will fill your frame perfectly.

PrPro from CS4 has the ability to have different sequences for different sequences, in the same project.

Now, WMM is well enough designed to deal with standard WMV images, is very limited on the one hand, but on the other hand, simple to use - many, many fewer choices to make. It's 'standard', or nothing.

When you have explored the power of PrPro and get used to the implementation of your footage, you will come to love him. The 'power' is intoxicating, and operations will become second nature.

I highly recommend a great book, Adobe Classroom in a Book for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Press. The author you will return you though first the concept of using a NLE (of Non-linear editing), then give you a tour of GUI (Graphical User Interface) program. Then, although the use of resources and projects, you will return the reader through all aspects of the process of with PrPro CS4 edition. When you are finished, there will be very little, that you will not have been exposed to. Curt spends a good part of the time by saying the drive all on the 'why' and not only the "how".

PrPro-Wiki has a great FAQ section on how to do most of the things in CS4 and should be bookmarked.

Believe me, the operation will change from 'rocket science' to 'second nature '.

Good luck

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Setup error - 'the Installer database is damaged. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.

    I had to replace my hard drive and so I had to reinstall Premiere Pro CS4. I tried to do with the files that I had downloaded before, but the installation failed and gave me the error message "the Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.

  • How to create and save a preset in Premiere Pro CS4 video transition

    I read the instructions here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS5B38CF0A-C465-437d-9D19-41C35ECD6200.html, create and save a preset effect. The problem seems to be that the transition effect, a cross fader, does not appear in the effect controls panel after being applied to the element. So, I can not select and save it as a preset.

    What Miss me?

    Thank you.

    OK, you can apply the default transition (video and audio, or just one or the other) to a selection of clips. If you have a particular transition you want, right-click in the effect controls panel, and then click "Set selected as Default Transition"; If you want to change the duration, click the menu drop-down of the effect controls panel, and then click 'default Transition duration. This will open the preferences window, where you can change the duration of the video and audio transitions.

    Select the clips you want to add the transition in the timeline panel (you can also press Alt to select only the part video or just audio, too) and go to the sequence > apply default Transitions to selection. Your default transition with the default duration will apply to all selected items. Of course, maybe it's only marginally useful if you actually want to custom effects, but you can go into each person and change the settings you like, such as management. This gives you at least a starting point.

    We hope transition presets are part of CS5...

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - problem with the monitor program.

    Hello. I am not able to solve the problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline panel and read it in the monitor program, vision in the monitoring program is not monitor of race: black or a small part of the picture appear... sometimes changing colors. ASUS P5QPRO Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX + 1024 DDR3; directX and the latest gpu driver are installed. Different configurations of Strath discs have been tested. Where I'm wrong?

    Although largely in the max. PrPro range, which is always likely to much larger size than that required. This ARTICLE will give you general information and a workflow possible.

    Coming from the camera, JPEG should be RGB already, so no problems with CMYK.

    Good luck and hope that helps.

  • I-Frames in Premiere Pro CS4

    Hello, in the book "Real World video Compression", the author notes that in Final Cut Pro "may say compressor to insert I-Frames at specific locations, which you do by inserting a marker of compression. He said he might want to do this for a film that is "particularly dynamic." Is it possible within Premiere Pro CS4 to insert an I-frame at a specific location?

    Thank you

    Matt

    1. Yes.
    2. N ° export of Pr as MPEG2 DVD will force a re - encode and a new GOP will begin at each chapter en marker (as long as there is the text in the name of the marker field).
    3. I didn't test, but it seems that the best you can do is check "Automatic GOP Placement", which allows the TEA to decide where to go I-frames.  Automatic placement is not available for a DVD MPEG2 only for MPEG2.  This means that you would be responsible for ensuring that all your MPEG2 settings are fully compliant with the DVD.
    4. The rules for sequences Pr apply inside en when a sequence of Pr is added to the project through hotlinks in.

    NB: If you don't want the public to be able to jump on the chapter marks that are used as markers of compression, export of Pr as MPEG2 DVD then import the encoded in.  Once the encoded file is added to a timeline en, remove compression chapter markers.  Frames I created, will remain in place.  If you dynamically link the sequence of Pr to fr, then transcode the sequence * before * you build the project using the file | Transcode now.  Uncomment the chapter as before compression.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - audio not listed is not in the queue of Media Encoder

    Hey all,.

    The title says it all. I have two audio files from Premiere Pro CS4 both with the extension WAV. When I go to them for export as a media, Media Encoder does not seem to take it to the top and the queue window remains empty.  I had no problem with video files, but this is my first time needing to encode audio files strictly.

    Is there a trick?  I need to encode to MP3 or WAV. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Ok.

    Couple of notes.  A re-export off Soundbooth as .wav files, .mp3 is not.  Two, you do not mention the details of any sequence could have created and been working in.

  • Adobe Media Encoder to Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

    Currently, I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these problems before export. My calendar is less than 3 minutes long, but it deals with several large files. He made perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually a few seconds in!) then exit breaks down, while I force. I tried to export as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried to create a new project from scratch and whisk a few titles and export that to see if it's just export anything. The new project exported very well, however, which I suppose is good news. But yes, my work on this project is very important for me and I reallllly want to export it. Help, please!

  • Display the metadata Panel in Premiere Pro CS4 on a PC

    Hello.

    I recently made the jump in Premiere Pro cs4

    Ive watched some videos of training Total of Essential Training to beyond the basics

    However they are all taught on Mac and I have a PC and have so often pause tutorials to decifer the PC version of some im being shown / sign.

    IM understand everything so far, seem however there is 1 simple function, I can't understand.


    On a PC, how do you get the metadata Panel to display in the monitor?

    IM repeatedly told (on a Mac that is...):

    Click on window

    Scroll down and select "metadata" to display the metadata Panel in the monitor.

    On the PC, (windows 7 64 bit which is..) Metadata is not in the drop-down window, however.

    Actually, theres lots of options in the drop-down windows on the mac in tutorials, which are not in the drop-down list of window on my PC version.

    Ive climbed throughout the program by going to each Panel menu (such as the monitor menu) as:

    Edit > Preferences

    and the project settings menu

    to be honest... I can not even find the WORD metadata, anywhere in a menu of Final Cut Pro.

    It's called something else?

    The PC version is not it?

    I know that I should do something simple/stupid and fake. Can someone help me please? Thank you

    The metadata of a component are displayed in the location of the project

    There is also a menu of "whirlwind down" (small triangle) in the project bin which allows you t o implement the display of the metadata.

    Why the Premiere Pro CS4 is only 10 seconds of .psd layers Photoshop CS4?

    How can I change this?  Why does this happen?  I really need to know as soon as possible.  I have a video project due this Wednesday (certainly that's an AV class where I learn just PR.  "But I can learn VERY QUICKLY!)

    Thanks for your help.

    Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line ' just click-and - drag on the tail of your.» PSD to set the desired time,' once you have imported your. Just PSD (for example, images), you can drag in the timeline panel, click and drag on the right margin (the tail) and stretch his time because it takes.

    Now, if you have imported as a sequence, open the timeline of the sequence and do the same thing.

    Normally, I will put my Edit > Preferences > again I think will be applicable, make my Import, and then with the Info Panel, just change the duration in office.
