1. Re: Help Figuring Out Project Settings?
JSS1138 Jan 27, 2011 4:23 PM (in response to literally_figurative)should my project settings for these clips be HDV 1080i(60)?
Based on the info provided, I'd say yes. It sounds like your camera crew doesn't know what they actually did. I'd trust the info provided by the software more than that provided by the humans.

2. Re: Help Figuring Out Project Settings?
literally_figurative Jan 27, 2011 4:30 PM (in response to JSS1138)Yeah I was told it was done at 25fps, and that the Sony camera had 25, not 24 and that is very well an option in Premiere, but I'm guessing Mediainfo is a lot better to decide what to do it in. Just finished installing premiere again (I assume that will help with my stuttering in playback) and am going with HDV 1080i30 (60i) since that gives me 29.9 fps and well, 1080i instead of p. I tend to get overly worried about these things. I hope this is the right thing to use. I appreciate your feedback.
Not sure if this is relevant, but one camera gives me mpegs while the rest of footage is MP4.

JSS1138 Jan 27, 2011 6:18 PM (in response to literally_figurative)Could be a lot of things. I'd hesitate to go down that road until it's actually necessary.

literally_figurative Jan 27, 2011 6:39 PM (in response to JSS1138)To go down which road?
So I think that's the proper project setting to used. Thanks for the help.
The problem now has gone to the source and preview monitors play not QUITE as smooth as it should be. When I play the footage in VLC it's playing like normal but ever so slightly choppy in premiere. It's messed up because 2 days ago I was getting playback as normal. I will make a new thread since this thread was really about the project settings and this is a whole different issue. Thanks!
