Hey Third Years, Firstly, congratulations to everyone on receiving your final mark yesterday. Job well done. I've been asked to put a quick post up about Premiere Pro export settings so that all will play well on the media server. The screenshot below shows the settings I used to export my Major project which apparently played well without any glitching. I just tried to keep things simple, make your sequences from your footage, that allows for the sequence to match all the settings of your renders or pre-comps. When I export, I pretty much let Premiere Pro do all the work unless you are exporting at a non-standard resolution. For this export I used H.264 video format and used the preset "HDTV 720p 25 High Quality." This always seems to work well and keeps everything pretty standard. It will export your video out as an .mp4 and if you are playing it at home I normally stick with QuickTime player or similar. VLC and Media Player Classic are great at watching v...

Some of you may have been experiencing problems using Premiere. A) No audio preview B) No movie preview C) Failed exports Adobe packages work using 'Scratch Disks'. This process utilises the empty space on your hard drive to store preview or export data. On a network system such as the UCA the space is finite and therefore fills up quickly. The fix 1) Download the 'Mapdrive' file below. Extract and save to your desktop. 2) Double click on the file. This will add a 'Temp' drive to 'My Computer'. This is a drive the course has for storage and render space. 3) Create a new folder on the temp drive and name it. Use your name. 4) Open premiere. Go to 'Project - Project Settings - Scratch Disks' 5) Set each of the directories to the new folder on the temp space. Download
