BarefootMedia on "Adding Closed Captions" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-39502 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:33:33 +0000 BarefootMedia 39502@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ If you've already looked into the indexes in your manuals and none of them mention closed captioning, and I assume you have. Then you may need to look into hiring a professional service. So far as closed captioning being something simple to do, I beg to differ. Closed captions are encoded into the vertical blanking bar of analogue video. And even though you are doing digital editing, the signal that goes to a viewer is an analogue signal. Since my roots are in linear video production, I know how tube cameras generate the vertical blanking interval. And for the closed captioning we put on county government meetings, it was done with an analogue device downstream of the switcher, just before entering the modulator for delivery to the headend. So closed captioning on an NLE has to be placed by a program that has access & control over the vertical blanking interval, which I don't think digital video even has. Until it is converted to a composite signal, there would be no need to create a vertical blanking interval inside the digital file. But since I've seen players with CC options, so there must be a way for it to be stored in the digital file. But I'm sure you'd need specialized software to make unique vertical blanking intervals. And there's the expense. It is very specialized software, with a very small market. Just to break even it would have to be quite expensive. So you are most likely to make it a reasonable expense by shopping around for someone to do it for you. I'd check with your local professional video equipment suppliers to find who can do closed captioning in your area. Good luck. And thank the government for requiring closed captions on music programming. stitch1z on "Adding Closed Captions" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-39484 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:52:02 +0000 stitch1z 39484@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hello all, I need to prepare a Music Video for broadcast and Music Choice needs Closed Captions added to it. I've searched for answers online and have come up with no real answers. Just encounters with shockingly over-priced software for what seems would be a relatively painless procedure. I run Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects. Thank you!

General rule of thumb: one hour of files equals 4G You need three times that amount of space to process. Thus you need at least 36G available and Adobe will not handle this. 2. Never exceed an hour in a project if you can help it. I recently did a file with 1400 clips and text entries and it came in at 52 min. and 3G. Keep it simple. 3. Whenever you go to burn, do not 7unckeck the Available space arrow. The entry underneath will tell you how much space you need. If it is over 4G for single layer or 8G for double, it will not proces.

Sorry for the late reply. Best Regards, Corey also, I'm guessing that you mean version 2.0 is "Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0" and version 3.0 is "Adobe Premiere pro CS3" lurina on "Question...

Since I don't use Adobe, I'm not sure how it burns a video to DVD. But if it would burn the DVD if the file were less than 4.4 gigs, I say make your own MPG2 file. So instead of selecting to Burn to DVD, render your 4 hour video to MPG2 format. You will need to adjust your compression settings to turn what would be a 48 gig AVI2 video file to become a 4.4 gig MPG2 file. But have you tried to burn less than the entire work of art to one DVD? Once again, I don't know the steps, but I know there is a simple way to use the NLE to select the first hour or so and then Burn to DVD just the selected region. Or to maintain as much quality as possible, you might need to render that selected hour of video to your hard drive, in any format you'd like. Then close that NLE project, load the hour of rendered video into your NLE and then Burn to DVD just that hour. One last thing, are you sure your computer has enough free hard drive space to do what you are asking it to do? You could have run out of memory on your hard drive during the rendering process. If you still want to try to burn the entire four hours to one DVD, then clear a bunch of memory space so the NLE can render the video. In closing, I'm guessing the real problem here is that you are limited in the amount of time you can render on one DVD. The easiest solution is to select only that portion on your EDL for the Burn to Disc function. Maybe someone familiar with Adobe can detail the actual steps to do it. chelseaboy on "Adobe Premier Elements 4" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adobe-premier-elements-4#post-37268 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:08:31 +0000 chelseaboy 37268@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I have created a work of art, eventually, in Adobe Premiere Elements 4. Trying to re-open it causes much stress though, but I usually achieve it somehow. I have a file, over 4 hours in length (video and audio), and have tried several times to 'burn' it to DVD. I didn't know you can't do this if the file will not fit onto a DVD. I assumed you could easilly put it on a few DVD's. Not being of a technical nature, I'm now totally lost. The programme just says 'Memory Allocation Error'. Any help out there?

I just switched over from Avid to Premier CS3 with a Matrox Axio "super system"...hahahah. I was filming on a hunt and the cards were full so we hooked up the lap top and moved the clips to an external hard drive. Now they are MP4's and I cannot get the Clip Browser or Premier to accept them. Matrox tells me it will be two months before they can work with MP4. If you use sonys clip browser and the clips load up...immediately export them a MFX files. This allows Premier to work with HD 1080I. I am searching the globe right now looking for answers. If I find them you will hear it.

I have also found that MainConcept’s MPEG Pro HD3 gives Premiere the ability to work with XDCam footage, just as transparently as HDV footage, minus the ability to play back on a second monitor with a dual-head graphics card. Sound is there, as with video and the MainConcept CODEC appears to bring all the functionality for .MXF files. So the workflow is XDCam -> Sony Clip Browser -> Export to MXF -> import to Premiere. yboc2000 on "Surround sound?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/surround-sound#post-36154 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:05:54 +0000 yboc2000 36154@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I was wondering on how would I do surround sound in this program, do I need like a specific camera for this, or can I just use any ordinary one, I was thinking about helping my friends with a music video but I have no clue on how surround sound works, anyone got tips or a place I could go to learn how surround sound works in Premiere? thanks chuckengels on "PMW-EX1 / Premier Pro CS3 Worlkflow" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pmw-ex1-premier-pro-cs3-worlkflow#post-35649 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 09:10:43 +0000 chuckengels 35649@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Premiere will work with some MP4 files, problem is they are all not the same just like AVI and MPEG. There are probably 20 different types of files with a .AVI extension, all very different in actual structure, same goes for the many flavors of MPEG. You can try converting the files with Quicktime Pro $30, you can convert them to DV-AVI and those will work just fine. If you are going to work with that camera and file format I recommend you do move to FCP, it will make your life a lot easier ;) pauljones454 on "PMW-EX1 / Premier Pro CS3 Worlkflow" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pmw-ex1-premier-pro-cs3-worlkflow-1#post-35648 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:12:10 +0000 pauljones454 35648@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I have purchased a new Sony PMW-EX1 and I am editing on Premier Pro CS3 (mac).

Mainly cuz im new at most of this. Ive "edited" videos before, by cutting and pasting clips and slow-mo effects and music to make music videos and trailers, but now i want to do more. But I need help. Ive downloaded 4 or 5 trial versions of various software and none of them have exactly what Im looking for. Granted, Im new and those programs are complicated, so maybe im just impatient. But if anyone here can help, please email me at <a href="mailto:aaron.mcdonald1@us.army.mil">aaron.mcdonald1@us.army.mil</a> Here is what i need help with: Particles. On one trial version (Audodesk Combustion), it only lets me SEE the bottom half of the rendering when im finished, so thats not much help when it comes to making movies. Plus it took me a while to figure out how to use it. I want something to be simple, and yet can give me what i ask for. Another trial was ParticleIllusion. Tons of particle emitter library things to choose from. One problem: the timeline. How the hell do i use it? And what is up with the "background image" thing? And why is the "image" skipping around on the timeline? Yes, it may be that my computer is crap and slow and all that. But if i didnt have to download 5 trials just to make one movie, im sure my computer wouldnt be so slow. Ok, and so i put a particle thing on the image, and now how do i make it move WITH the image? and how do i make it go away? After Effects by Adobe is, so far, the most frustrating thing on the planet. The particle playground is NOT for my kind: impatient. PLEASE HELP!
