Hey Master Yoda.... I am really looking forward to posting my "Magnificent" video once it is completed for my first ever attempt using both Premiere Pro and After Effects. I have a question for you. If I make a HD video (most of my footage was shot in HD) for my next video, can I make a good quality SD video from the HD final video? It may sound like a stupid question, but going from HD to SD would be no problem, right? Thanks ... Chewy!
| Andrew Devis 3 months ago
Hi Chewy
You will have no problem going from HD to SD as long as in the Export Settings Dialogue Box you tick the check-box at the bottom left of the settings panel saying 'Use Maximum Render Quality'. Believe it or not, this box is for exactly what you want to do and will keep the image quality sharp when you 'down-scale' it to SD from HD.
Otherwise, everything else would be as normal.
May the force remain strong ... and I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.
Yoda(ish) |
| Ian Hagerty 3 months ago
Hey Master Yoda... thanks for the advice and encouragement. I have a question regarding time remapping and time warp. I understand the whole idea of frame interpolation and blending in AE. Do you need to use time remapping and time warp at the same time to achieve the maximum result (slow mo) or would time warp suffice on its own? I love slow mo in the right situations. Thanks again... may the force be with you! |
| Andrew Devis 3 months ago
Hey Chewy, You could get away with just using time warp and to get the best results make sure you are choosing to use the pixel motion method (which should be the default setting). This is the highest quality solution. You shouldn't need to use both time remapping and time warp either should really be ok as you can also get high quality with time remapping. But if you can do all the animation you need with time warp I would go for that.
Hope this helps |
| Ian Hagerty 3 months ago
Master Yoda, I truly appreciate your input. I look forward to showing you the fruits of my labor. This may seem like a crazy question, but how does one go about learning PP and AE without feeling like time is running out. What do I mean? There is so much to learn, it seems overwhelming at times, but I want to! Do you try and learn new things all the time or do you make it your goal to learn one new thing per week? Not sure if this is a stupid question, but what's the best approach to learning the two software platforms in your humble opinion.May the force be with you! |
| Andrew Devis 3 months ago
HI Chewy
Learning is an individule thing but the best ways to learn are to start by using it lots and lots because that puts what you know into long term memory. Then decide you are going to teach someone - anyone ... When you teach you quickly discover that you don't know as much as you hoped you did and that you really have to work at learning yourself so that you can explain it to someone else. On your own you can get by but when you need to explain it to someone else you really need to have got to grips with it yourself and that means you learn. By all means look at tutorials and learn from them and if you use them make sure you can re-do them without looking at the tutorials and you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.
Get to know the simple really well and then learn more things little by little and then repeat it until it gets into the long term memory.
Does this make sense? Hope so ...it's Friday, then end of a long week and I suspect I'm rambling ... So take care, have a great weekend and may the force be pleasant ;o) |
| Ian Hagerty 3 months ago
I know exactly what you mean seeing that I am a Master Yoda English teacher (lol). Regarding the world of video, I want to learn so much that it gets to be overwhelming and frustrating at times. My goal is to learn one new concept per week (complicated or simple). It is a fascinating world. Have a great weekend yourself Master Yoda. You will hear from me again! The force is strong with you! haha... Chewy (thanks) |

Hi Andrew,
First I like to say that your tutorials have been a great help in understanding Premiere Pro.I rarely
read manuals since it will put me to sleep but your tutorials are easy to follow along. Question, could you possibly explain the new Technicolor Cinestyle work flow within Premiere Pro 5? There are some tutorials online but it's more about installing Cinestyle Profile and a breif expalantion on LUT. I'm sure there are lots of users like myself who would like to see a demo on how to color correct within Premiere
Pro 5 using the new Cinestyle Profile for DSLR's. Here's a short explanation on LUT I found online
http://nofilmschool.com/2011/05/what-is-a-look-up-table-lut-anyway/
What's confusing to me is towards the end Jay Friesen in his article says that "it’s best to remove it
(LUT plugin) for final color grading and rely on your properly calibrated monitor." I will pass this email to
Richard Harrington as well. Hopefully one of you can explain it.

Hi Todd
I noticed what I think is an error in PP in the YC waveform monitor in PAL settings. The mV range should be 0 to 714 (which is what Color Finesse and Test Gear use in AE) while PP uses the range 0.1 to 1.0 (you can see this by using the colour bars to calibrate).
Is this an error or am I missing something?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Bob
Just wanted to let you know that I've put another couple of CF tutorials up. One on the vectorscope and another one which is only podcast at the moment and will go live later this week is on waveform monitors in CF. I have also pointed out in both that Test Gear is available and given the SA website.
Let me know what you think
