Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Start an HDV or HD project

You can edit HDV footage in the 720p, 1080p, or 1080i formats. When creating a new project for these formats, make sure you select the project settings preset that matches the specifications of your source footage.

The DVCPROHD project settings presets included with Adobe Premiere Pro are for editing material recorded to MXF files with a Panasonic P2 video camera. Additional HD project settings presets are usually installed into Adobe Premiere Pro when an HD capture card that supports Adobe Premiere Pro is installed.

For best playback performance, it is sometimes helpful to render HD footage when you first place it in a sequence.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • From the Welcome screen, click New Project.

    • Select File > New > Project.

  2. In the New Project dialog box, select the Load Preset tab.
  3. Select a project preset that matches your footage.
  4. (Optional) Select the Custom Settings tab, and customize the preset as needed.
  5. (Optional) For DVCPRO50 P2 or DVCPROHD P2 projects, to set the number of monaural channels that you can output to P2, select Default Sequence. Then in the Master drop-down menu in the Audio pane, select one of the following:
    Mono
    Outputs a single mono channel.

    Stereo
    Outputs two mono channels with stereo panning intact.

    5.1
    Outputs four mono channels respecting the Left-Front, Right-Front, Left-Rear, and Right-Rear panning.

  6. Enter a location and name for the project file and click OK.
Note: On Windows, you can create a custom project preset for previewing uncompressed 10-bit or uncompressed 8-bit footage. For more information, see Create A Project With Uncompressed Video Playback (Windows Only) in Adjust project settings and presets in Adobe Premiere Pro Help.

To edit DVCPROHD 720p footage shot at 25fps (e.g. 25pN native mode footage from PAL versions of the Panasonic HVX200 camera), choose the DVCPROHD 720p 50p preset. Then, select the Custom Settings tab. Then, from the Timebase drop-down menu, select 25.00frames/second, and click OK.
