Frenchy68 0 #5 September 13, 2005 QuoteWhat do you mean? You'd be better off capturing video from a true video software. Quicktime, or better yet, Final Cut Pro (sorry, I'm a MAC freak). But if Photoshop can do it... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

bob.dino 1 #9 September 13, 2005 Premiere is most likely capturing without any additional compression other than that added by your capture card. So, to get it to a smaller size, you need to render/save it in a more compressed format. Examples include Quicktime (.mov), XVid or DivX, or Windows Media (.wmv). Since I don't use Premiere, I can't tell you the exact name or location of the menu item you need; you'll get a more comprehensive answer in the Photography & Video forum. Oh, and it's Premiere.

What do I need to do? Edited to fix Program name: Meant Premier Not Photoshop. what are you capturing from?? is it DV from a camera, or VHS from Video? From that size of the file it sounds like your capturing raw DV.. if this is the case then the capture size will always be large, as it is uncompressed ..... once you have captured your footage you can then compress it with Premiere.. what do you want to do with the captured footage???----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THorw it up on Skydivingmovies.com Export it using the Advanced Windows Media plug-in. That will give you the smallest size and will play on most PCs. For the web, use a smaller frame size (e.g., 360 x 240 or 320 x 240) and cut the frame rate to about 15 fps. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
br0k3n 0 #15 September 13, 2005 edited to add - Edit your footage with PremPro then export movie as Mpeg2, sont bother compressing it with PremPro.... Use a program called VirtualDub, its free.... Download the Divx codec, http://www.divix.com if you can get hold of it, try to find a copy of Divx-pro, although its not free. which means spending money, although i have heard of people p2p'ing it... personally I wouldnt know. Then download a program called Virtual Dub http://www.virtualdub.org/index You will also need to download and install the a MP3 encoder, for virtual-dub, and the best one is the Fraunhofer IIS Mp3Enc http://www.dbpoweramp.com/...-central-franmp3.htm Ok once you have downloaded and installed Virtual Dub, Divx and MP3 Enc, your ready to go. I would suggest that you read up on Virtual Dub, also… Once your ready to go, 1. drag and drop the uncompressed .AVI file into Vdub. 2. select Audio 3. select Full Processing Mode 4. Select Audio / Compression 5. In the compression window select MP3 then select what compression you want 6. select Video/Full processing mode 7. select video/filters If you intend to play the finished file on a pc then you will need to De-Interlace it. 8. In the video/filters menu select “add” and then De-interlace, then in the box that appears select “blend both fields” 9. select video/compression 10. select the divx codec and click configure, under the general parameters tab should be “enable resize” click it as the size of the video you have will be 720 x 576, so you will want to bring that down, say to 320 x 240, or what ever you want. 11. on the “divx codec” tab select the encoding bitrate that you want, the lower the bitrate the more the compression. 12 select file/save as .avi and that’s it. I know this seems a little complicated, but once you have used V-dub a couple of times you will have the hang of it, and the results will be a lot better as you have more control. Also play around with the Video/Audio/compression settings to see what gives you the bet results; I found that it took a few attempts to get the file size/quality that I wanted. I just compressed a 4GB .AVI, with Vdub got it down to 116MB whilst still maintaining fairly good quality at 600x400 picture size… Hope this helps----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidihagen 0 #16 September 13, 2005 what they said.. check out your frame rate & resolution. also, what type of file will it be? (mpeg, mpeg4, mov, avi, divx...) that makes a huge difference in size as well. i like saving mine as mpegs.i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexCrowley 0 #18 September 13, 2005 Premier and other video editing suites will capture video using the DV codec. This generates about 3.6MB per second. There are some consumer level capture utilities that will capture in lower quality mpeg, even then you'll see significant file sizes. If you're going to work with video a great deal you might want to get 200 - 300GB hard drive just for raw footage. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.
