Adobe CS5 Production Premium Panasonic AVCCAM
Edits, transitions, and clip eects will be preserved when opened in the other applications. Any
changes to the sequence made in Adobe Premiere Pro will be immediately reected in the other
applications.
Opening Adobe Premiere Pro Project Files In Other CS5 Applications
Aer Eects and Adobe Encore have the ability to open Adobe Premiere Pro .prproj les, including
AVCHD projects. A .prproj le can be opened directly in Aer Eects by going to File>Import>Adobe
Premiere Pro Project and navigating to a .prproj le. An Adobe Premiere Pro sequence can be
opened at File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Import Adobe Premiere Pro Sequence and navigating to a
.prproj le. All the sequences in the Adobe Premiere Pro project will then be displayed and can be
chosen from.
A .prproj le can be opened in Adobe Encore through File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Import Adobe
Premiere Pro Sequence and again navigating to the le. As with Aer Eects, the sequences
associated with the Adobe Premiere Pro project will then appear and can be chosen from.
Part 3: Working With AVCHD Footage In Aer Eects
Aer Eects, the industry-standard compositing, visual eects, and motion graphics program,
supports AVCHD material natively. It supports all AVCHD formats and frame rates. Aer Eects can
accept the AVCHD les directly in a stand-alone composition, or it may accept Adobe Premiere Pro
AVCHD projects or sequences via Dynamic Link, or by opening sequences directly from the .prproj
le.
Importing Footage Into Aer Eects
AVCHD material can be imported by going to File>Import and then navigating to the STREAM folder,
or by dragging/dropping the MTS les from the folder into the Project panel.
Aer Eects Project Setup
e equivalent to a sequence in Aer Eects is a composition. If you have imported your footage
into the project before creating a composition, you can simply drag a footage asset to the Create
a New composition square at the boom of the Project panel. is will automatically create a
composition which matches the properties of the footage.
To create a composition manually, go to Composition>New Composition. A dialogue box will
appear in which you can dene the aributes of the composition, including frame size, frame rate,
etc.
ere are numerous presets available. As with Adobe Premiere Pro, choose the preset which best
ts your footage, or dene your own composition seings manually. If your footage is shot in the
1080 HG or HE modes, it is best to start with an HDV preset, as it will match the frame size and pixel
aspect ratio. Change the frame rate if necessary. For 1080 HA or PH footage, start with an HDTV
1080 preset and change the frame rate if necessary. For all 720 footage, start with an HDV/HDTV
720 preset and, again, change the frame rate if necessary.
Working With AVCHD Footage In Aer Eects
Working With Pulldown
As with Adobe Premiere Pro, there is no need to remove pulldown in 24p footage, because it is
recorded at its native frame rate. However, as 1080/25p and 1080/30p footage is recorded in 50i or
60i streams, respectively, Aer Eects will read the footage as interlaced. To have Aer Eects read
the footage as true (progressive) 25p or 30p, it is necessary to use Interpret Footage. Right-click on a
footage item and select Interpret Footage>Main.
e Interpret Footage box will appear. From there, in the “Fields and Pulldown” box, you can choose
to turn “Separate Fields” o. Aer Eects will then recognize 720/30p footage as 29.97p.
Integration With Adobe Premiere Pro
Aer Eects can be integrated with Adobe Premiere Pro in a number of ways.
Importing Adobe Premiere Pro Sequences -- As noted above, Aer Eects can open Adobe
Premiere Pro .prproj les directly. When opened, all of the Adobe Premiere Pro project media and
sequences will appear in the Project panel of Aer Eects.
