Adobe CS5 Production Premium Panasonic AVCCAM
Working with Media In e Project Panel
All project media les appear in the Project panel. e media les can be listed entirely as separate
items, or they can be organized into a le/bin structure for ease of media management.
Media items are listed with
numerous columns of metadata.
e default set of columns is the
legacy display of information
common to previous versions of
Adobe Premiere Pro, but they can
be deselected, or more/dierent
columns added, by clicking on the
yout menu icon in upper right of
the Project panel, and choosing
“Metadata display.” Column
order can be changed by dragging
columns.
In the Metadata Display panel,
you can choose which columns to
display by checking or unchecking
their boxes.
e project can be sorted on
any of the columns. Some of the
metadata in the columns can
be edited directly in the Project
panel; changes will be saved to
the XMP le.
Automatic 2:2 Pulldown
Removal
AVCCAM cameras do not record 24p footage as over-60, only as native 23.976p, so there is never
any pulldown to remove.
However, in both 1080 and 720 PH modes, 25p and 30p footage is recorded, respectively, as over-50
and over-60 with 2:2 pulldown.
Adobe Premiere Pro will recognize 25p and 30p footage and work with the footage in their native
frame rates instead of 50i/p or 60i/p.
Editing Footage In Adobe Premiere Pro
Footage can be edited either directly from the SD cards, as noted before, or from a hard disk drive.
With a fast, modern processor and at least 4 GB of RAM, Adobe Premiere Pro can edit multiple
streams of footage at real time, and is helped especially with the new Mercury Playback Engine,
which provides GPU acceleration (see Previewing below) multicore optimizations, and native 64-bit
support.
Editing from DVD or optical media is not recommended; the data transfer speeds from the drive will
be too slow for eective editing.
Generally, any type of supported media may be dropped into a timeline of any sequence seings
without any sort of transcoding or rendering. A red bar may appear above footage which does not
conform to the sequence seings; this means that the footage must be rendered for nal output,
but (pre)rendering isn’t necessary for playback on the timeline. Timeline playback may not be full-
quality or without dropped frames, however. (If you wish to render for full-frame rate playback,
press Enter, and Adobe Premiere Pro will create a rendered le and replace the footage with it.)
A yellow bar indicates that a clip does not match the seings of the sequence, but can generally still
be played back in real-time without rendering. A green bar indicates that all necessary rendering is
completed.
In order to edit and save the XMP
metadata, including making a
speech transcript, it is important
to make sure any write protection
is disabled. In Windows, uncheck
“Read Only” in the Contents folder
Properties, and make sure it applies
to all subfolders and les. In the
Mac OS, make sure the Contents
folder’s Ownership & Permissions
is set to “You Can Read & Write.”
