What type of file to use for editing

Recently, I filmed a school show to create DVDs for parents. I use 9 before editing. I understand that the output for the film should be MPEG2 for DVD. We used three different cameras (I know it's a bad thing to do with before), but we used what we have available. However, we used a Hero2 GoPro mounted on the piano to give a unique perspective. Therefore, I need to convert the video files to a common format for editing. Y at - it a 'best' file format to edit or y at - it a file format which is easier to work with Premiere Elements while maintaining the best quality for the DVD release?

Here's what we used:

1 camera (with the audio track of the soundcard) was a Canon Vixia HF300. It has exported to the dreaded .mts format (half of the show to 24mbps) and the other half to 17mbps

2 camera was a Nikon 5100 files .mov, 1920 x 1080, H.264, linear PCM, Total 19 k sampling rate

Camera 3 was a GoPro Hero saved 2 .mp4 1280 x 780 H.264 Total bit rate 15 k

As the proportions are not equivalent, I intend using black bars as opposed to culture.

I'm editting on a MacBookPro Apple 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB of RAM running OS x 10.7

Also, should I use Quicktime to convert these files in the common format I choose? Ironically, all these images can be changed in iMovie, iMovie is horrible for several cameras.

Thank you

I thought I would answer back with the final result. It always bothers me when people say how they have solved a problem.

Unfortunately, this question consumed too much time. I hunt around and try all these converters shareware without result. On a lark, I tried the demo version of Final Cut Pro X, after all, I tried everthing else. FCP X imported not only all files without problem, but it modifies them without having to convert them into a common format. The time saved will easily cover the price tag of $300.

I admit it, I was pushing the limitations of the pre 9 using different files for the same multicam project formats. Probably should have started with FCP since the beginning.

Thanks again for your help!

  • What type of file I use to read a large file of data?

    I want to store data in a file and access it later. The data file could reach between 500 and 1000 MB in a binary format.

    I might have some memory problems.

    I didn't need all of the data in memory, only a few data every time that, for my calculations.

    If I use a binary file, I can't read only a few data. I have to load the entire file and then read the data I need.

    Is this correct?

    If I use another type of file, can I read that a few bytes without loading the entire file?

    Maybe a TDMS file?

    I would probably use a TDMS file for this because it could also be read in excel if there was enough - just little more flexibility. But you can also do this by using binary types. You don't have to read the entire file when you use binary files. See below.

  • Should what type of Module I use for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 (PSAASE-00G004GR) with + 1 GB of SAMSUNG DDR2 - 533 + already installed (+ 1 GB 2Rx8 PC2-4200 s-444-12-e3 +).

    * In the manual, it says that I have to stick to the following numbers of the module in case of upgrade of RAM which is for 1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G

    In some other sections of the manual, it was mentioned I can use PC2-4200 or PC2-5300 on that laptop, not to mention no module number.

    If {color: #ff0000} + _should I stick with this module number (1 GB PA3411U-1M1G) _ + {color} or simply choose any type PC2-4200 or PC2-5300 RAM available in the market?

    Looking for additional help, THANKS ;)

    Hello

    I recognize that the manual irritates statements. The true, it is that you can install any module market PC4200. So, you can also use the original Toshiba modules that are known to work in this machine.

    Feel free to enter any market module, but I suggest you use kingston or corsair modules to ensure performance and full compatibility.

  • I create a logo for a company, but I'm new to illustrator and don't know what type of file to give them for their personal use if themselves don't have Illustrator to work with

    So I designed a logo for a company, they want to buy too! I don't know what type of file to send to them for their personal use. I am new to illustrator, so I'm not sure whether it should be a .png, .pdf or .svg. They don't have access to Illustrator, so they would not be able to view the native .ai file, how can I send the file?

    Whenever I have provide a customer with a logo, my first question that would be what they are they who need for?

    And when you have the response from them, it will give you a good idea of what to provide.

    Second to that I will always create a logo set to compile something like the following:

    1. Original .ai logo - RGB/CMYK/Black/White versions
    2. A set of PNG with transparent backgrounds of different sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    3. A set of .jpg in various sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    4. And now a .svg and .pdf file

    Once again it all depends on what the customer wants it, but once you have furnished with everything that they are able to use it for the most part.

    Good luck

    Companies can almost certainly view or the other guy, but a pdf file
    should be better for documents. A jpg file is almost never used
    for anything except the photos.

  • What Type of file?

    I beat the monster format. The monster format as Adobe first Elements 10 will not support two videos at once or DSLR bother at all. I conquered it by downloading a software that allows me to convert videos in a particular file. So, I need to know what type of file is better supported and convenienty used in EPA 10. Can someone tell me?

    The best thing to do would be to convert the Canon AVCHD video. Then you can load the two AVCHD videos in a project. But this will only work if you have shot your film to Sony in FH or mode 1920 x 1080 HQ and you turned your Canon video at 1920 x 1080.

    (1) open a new Premiere Elements project. Make sure it is set up for DSLR 1920x1080p30.

    (2) connect your Canon camera to your computer via USB and use Media Get / Flip camcorder, AVCHD or hard drive to open the video importer and import the files from the camera to your video project.

    (3) put the video on your timeline and use share/computer/AVCHD with the preset for M2T 30 fps 1920 x 1080 to your movie as an M2T file.

    (4) open a new project set up for AVCHD Full 1920 x 1080 with 5.1 audio (since your Sony pulls in 5.1).

    (5) use Get Media to bring your film from Sony and created M2T files above and start editing.

    Or download the version 11. In which you can just load everything at once and just change!

    Where is this file which is located? (which folder)

    It looks like a file that is associated with the C:\Windows\winsxs folder.

    WinSxS is the component storage folder (Side by Side).

    There is a component that deletes files that are replaced by Windows Update in this case. Before it will be deleted, they are moved to the C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\Temp\PendingDeletes folder.

    I apologize for not being able to find the answer on my own, but can anyone please answer this: can Adobe Premiere and hearing of "Royalty Free" music files are used for projects 'commercial '?

    Wikipedia:fee-free, or RF, means the right to use the material under copyright or intellectual property without having to pay royalties or license for each use or by the volume of sales, or some time to use or sell."

    You 'Royalty Free' rights free of charge can be granted or pay for it.  Music sites "Royalty Free" often have several awards.  Individual use will be much cheaper than the use in business.

    It is a premier forum, not a Premier Pro forum elements or hearing.  But, if Adobe labels tracks provided with these programs and call them 'Royalty Free' and does not list the restrictions, you can use it for what you want.

    Another approach is called "Creative Commons".  Basically, you can benefit from creative use of the work if you provide proper credit.  It helps to spread and the reputation of the artist.   Creative Commons "licenses" have several versions and can also be confusing.

  • How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    I had copied a. PNG file in the source folder and I wanted to import in the Lightroom Catalog.

    However the import dialog box does not show this file in the source folder at all.

    I also tried the method to select the source folder and using the option "synchronize". But who has not shown the. Either the PNG file.

    My clumsy work around was to open the file in CS6 and save it as a. JPG file.

    So my question: How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    You can't tell Lightroom what file types to import in the import dialog box. You could, if you wanted to, check that the boxes of file types to be imported, but it is a "manual" operation, it cannot be automated.

    In regards to the PNG files, Lightroom will NOT import them. The PNG files are not supported by Lightroom. In fact, Lightroom will import TIF, JPG, PSD, DNG and some RAW and film formats. Any other type of file cannot be imported into LR.
