Premiere will probably do a terrible job of downscaling - NLEs typically do.
You sound like you need a lot of help Since you mention things like closed captions, I take it you are a professional user? Do you have any other professional encoding tools available? Derek

A lot of noob questions for a professional I would say.
The .MTS files seems to be Blu-ray compatible, at least at the first glance (there are various details to be checked for a 100% compliance). If you got the right template, premiere won't alter the footage, but you may need to do it yourself if the project won't fit a BD25 or BD50. For downscaling, there are a few good threads here, pick the one you're comfortable with. As Blue_MiSfit said, the downscaling in premiere is not the best solution, but it's there and you can use it without any additional learning investment.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for reply, Well exporting to bluray from those .mts and mp4 is not an issue i can directly do that from premier CS5, but there are few thing i wanted to know, as footage's are interlaced is it Better to export it as Progressive inside CS5? or its better to make Interlaced Bluray? - Problem is i want a Digital copy which should be progressive, wanted to know whts the best way of doing so? - Down-scaling HDi to SDi, even with VBR 2 passes and Max Render setting on in CS5 quality is not par, - Now My Main Question the footages are shot from Sony Ex and some came from Mixing Unit, so its 100s of Short .mts and mp4 footages, thats not an issue when importing it CS5 but whts the work around with other application in this situation? -I just want to know the right Workflow, I am extremely sorry for so many question with in a question, Thanks Rgards |

Hello, brothers..!
I have been studying and following Bellune's incredible tutorials as I try to turn my HD video into a high quality SD production. So far, the tutorial is amazing, and I couldn't live without it. I'm using AviSynth scripts through VirtualDub, and it is fantastic. My Workflow is this: Source Files Edited in Premier and footages are 1080i at 25 Fps being upper field first, Render out an Mpeg-2 with preset from website (I-FRAME mpeg) Use "Rendered file" with this script: MPEG2source("1080p30.d2v") hd2sd(OutputColorSpace="YUY2") Load it into VirtualDub Compress with Larithe (forgive spelling) But the problem is the lossless SD file coming out of virtualDub seems to have an aspect ration of 5:3 or something not the widescreen 16:9 as the source file, how do i correct this? |
