Here is the deal: I'm editing a 50 minute wedding video, and whenever I try to export it out to my Sony TRV27, it plays back fine for about 3-4 minutes, then the picture freezes for about 10 seconds, and then it fast-forwards/scrubs ahead for about 5 seconds, then resumes playback as usual for...

I'm assuming that you meant a "psd" file instead of a .pdf file. If it IS a .pdf file, then please disregard my advice. Your problem probably lies in the fact that After Effects may not know how to interpret the footage. When you import the file, make sure tha it has an alpha matte...

You shouldn't lose any resolution by scaling it down, as long as you keep the aspect ratio accurate. You should be able to do it in premiere... but it's easier to do in After Effects. Import it into After effects, scale it down to 95%, then send it right back to Premiere.

try matting it out... under the transparancy option after effects is a much better program for doing that kind of thing

Hi. First of all, thanks for taking a look at this thread. Hopefully I can explain this as clearly and concisely as possible. First of all, I'm using a Sony TRV27 on an ADS Pyro firewire capture card (OHCI compliant, of course) with a system that is more than powerful enough to work on video...

nDanger has it right there. There's no substitute for real fire. Besides... just throw a couple of hot-dogs on the BBQ while it's rendering and reward yourself for a great comp. job!

No offense, but CIB (Classroom In a Book) is not good. Get either the first or the second book of the series by Trish Meyer... those books actually teach, not just walk you through examples. You'll find yourself getting alot more inspired off of these books...

Don't stretch it! Stretching forces image interpolation (forces the software to guess what graphic information should be there). Shoot so that only part of the CCD is being used, that assures higher quality. You'll have to deal with the letterbox effect still, but you'll appreciate the quality...

Use the razor tool on the timeline... overlap the clips exactly, then use the razor tool on the "AAAA" clip to show when you the "BBBBB" clip to show through.

Also, if your capture card is not OHCI-certified, it may or may not work correctly with Premiere 6.0.

30 fps is just for digital video. Film is shot in 24 fps, and it turns out fine. So... you should be fine in that aspect. Anyways, put the two clips right on top of each other, one on V1, and the other on V2 (transparancy track). On the top clip, go into the video transparancy settings, and in...

Check your settings to make sure you're capturing and working under the right resolution. If you're in analog, go 640x480. If mini-DV, then 720x480. If you shot in analog but are editing in a DV resolution, then that would explain the black bars on the side edges. Hope that helps you out!

Under Project settings, make sure that all of your "preview" setting boxes are checked. I was having that same problem before when I first got my capture card. Hope that helps you out.

Has anyone thought of just making it a streaming file and then saving the appropriate files onto the CD instead? Streaming files don't HAVE to be streamed, you know... it just uses a lower resolution and transfer speed... it's almost exactly like a regular movie file. Try the RealPlayer export...

Do you have a cheap capture card? If the card's not realtime, then whenever you shift or change a track nearby (just think if there's ANY way it could effect the problem clip), it'll force a re-render. BTW, thanks to the other guy for the heads-up on the hot-keys... that's going to be really useful.

It would be easier to do it in After Effects, for sure. But, if you really wanted to do it that way, you could just go into the Transparancy option, make sure the matte fill-in color is black, then move the sampling area in the upper-right hand of the window to just show that one person. If you...

If you don't have enough juice in your computer (power, that is), then you might have a problem with that final render to make a .mov file.

Did you make sure that you were capturing in the 16:9 widescreen format? If not, then you'll get the compression effect that you're talking about.

Make sure that you have the new motherboard's onboard audio settings turned off... that could cause a conflict.

Sounds like you're trying to export just the clip and not the whole timeline.
