Premiere CS3 Trial missing HDV Presets?

[semicolon]

Hi there,

I just installed the Adobe Premiere CS3 Tryout and when going to create a new project the preset folder for HDV is there but there are no actual presets inside it.

Is this a limitation of the Tryout or is there something else awry?

Thanks.

You can get a working "trial" of CS3 Master Suite from bit torrents. I installed it last night... beautiful.

I previously haven't had much luck with those CS3 "trials", but I'll look into it.



This said, are you aware of some issue with the HDV Presets not showing up if, say, the processor is thought to be too slow? Maybe my installation messed up, would it be possible for someone to upload those in a Zip somewhere?

On my installation of Premiere Pro 2.0 I had downloaded and added those Canon Progressive HDV presets, so it's pretty simple to get them in there.

Where did you get the presets?

I think those presets are for Premiere Pro 2.0, not After Effects. You can search for "Canon Progressive HDV presets" on Google and the first link will take you to the download.

I had seen them mentioned a few times in the pulldown thread on this forum and a few other posts / forums.

These weren't designed for the HV20, they do NOT find the hv20s pulldown and deal with it correctly. I was planning on using these presets for editing footage that I already removed the pulldown from.


I'm interested in moving to CS3 but for some reason the HDV presets just aren't there, I'm not sure why!

I know sometimes Adobe remove certain feature from trial versions on purpose. Say like in Premiere Pro 2.0 trial, MPEG import will not work. A lot of the presets were removed in the Adobe Media Encoder. But I'm not sure what is missing from the CS3 trial. I'm sure there will be HDV presets in the real product.

The trial doesn't have the HDV preset, but the full version of CS3 does. Here's what I'm seeing:

HDV/HDTV 720 29.97
HDV/HDTV 720 25
HDV 1080 29.97
HDV 1080 25
DVCPRO HD 720 23.976
DVCPRO HD 720 29.97
DVCPRO HD 1080 29.97
HDTV 1080 24
HDTV 1080 29.97

Ahh, thanks for that, Ten!

I was worried that Premiere was doing a "only shows up if your system is capable of handling it" sort of thing, like Windows Vista now does.

That's a pretty silly decision on their part, I feel; the presets aren't really an added feature- the presets are basically just little text files with the settings laid out in them. The main reason I downloaded the trial was to see how well it captured and handled my HV20 HD Video!

I've been considering taking the plunge and buying the CS3 Production Premium Suite at my student discount, but I'm currently paying off the HV20 :hv20-smilie03:

Glad I could help. I'm having fun playing around with AE CS3, but I'm a newbie so it can be frustrating at times. If you qualify for the academic version I would say it's worth making the jump though!

I've been teaching myself AE for the past 4 or 5 months, if you've got any questions shoot them over to me and I might be able to help out.

I've used it for color correction of DV footage, and motion graphic work to create an intro and production credits for a sketch comedy show I was putting together with a friend.

Aside from that, I've been just making little learning projects of other sorts of graphic and animation stuff (once you get into playing with layers, cameras, and lights in 3d space you'll have a blast!)

I've got a pretty basic question actually. I've been trying to remove pulldown using the method in this thread:

Part of this is that you have to set up a composition, but I'm not exactly sure what the settings should be. Have you tried this method yet? If so, what were your settings?

[semicolon]

I've not yet tried this method, but this would be the steps for creating a composition from your footage (it's a bit rough as I'm currently at work and don't have AE in front of me):

- In your "Project" pane [the thing that holds all the clips] right click some empty space and choose Import [or file import], then find your footage.
- [This step may not be necessary, and may be incorrect for how that plugin works. If that is the case, it should normally be set to "Lower", the NTSC interlaced standard]Right click the footage and go to Interpret Footage, then choose Main. In here, set the Fields and Pulldown > Separate Fields to "none", this sets it to Progressive.
- Drag the footage from the list down to the tiny icon of the film, let go and this will create a new composition out of your footage. The composition's properties are based off of the footage so you will now have a 29.97fps comp.

I am not sure how that plugin works, but it seems like you would then set the composition's framerate to 24:
- go up to the Composition menu and Composition Settings. Here you would change the framerate to 23.976.


Some of this may be off, but I can be a bit more clear when I get home in front of AE.

Hope it's of some help.

That confirms that I was going through the process correctly. I tried using that method and I get a warning saying that I didn't set up the composition properly. I posted the exact message in that other thread. I'm wondering if I really did mess up the composition or if the plugin just doesn't work.
