dropped frames!

[Bladerunner04]

I've been editing some d/l video on my premiere pro but when i export to a movie it drops frames and looks jerky as crap. I saw this website of what I've been doing wrong... http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Discovering-Your-Systems-Optimum-Data-Rate/4358
so I need to change my data rate, but I don't know where to change this on premiere pro. Is there any other way you eliminate dropped frames during render time? Thanks in advance.

I get nothing with that link.

what kind of Video file is it? AVI/Xvid/Mpeg?

[Bladerunner04]

usually something like this...Filetype

Microsoft DV AVI

Video Settings
Compressor: DV (NTSC)
Frame size: 720h 480v (0.900)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
Color depth: Millions of colors
Quality: 100 (out of 100)
Fields: Lower Field First

Audio Settings
Sample rate: 32000 samples/second
Channels: Stereo
Sample type: 16-bit

though I'm sure in the past when I exported to mpeg it had the same problem

Are you trying to play that off a data DVD from your DVD drive?

[canadateck]

You are Capturing or Rendering/Encoding?

[Bladerunner04]

I'm rendering/encoding, not really doing anything with DVDs yet, just playing in it on my VLC player/Windows Media player

If the source video looks/works fine and you downloaded it then you might be correct about the dat rate. Downloads are generally very low data rate videos and your converting it to format with a higher data rate.... BUT.... if you have a decent computer which it appears you do that shouldn't be a problem.

Go to start>control panel>syatem>Hardware>device manager and see if your drive is in DMA mode.

Okay, I checked and the comp is in DMA mode. Here's where it gets a little complicated as far as file type. I have a weird way of putting camera footage onto my pc. I have a Sony Vaio with GigapocketTV and video jackholes*yellow-white-red(?) on the front and back of my comp. I connect the camera to these holes turn the gigapocket to VIDEO channel, play the vid on the camera and press record on the video channel. Go to my gigapocket library and export it to my desktop as a Intervideo file. Don't know if that tells you much.

So you say it captures without dropping frames, but drops them on export from Permiere ? I find this hard to believe because premiere doesn't work in realtime, it works to whatever grunt your CPU can give it. If that means it render at 10 fps, it will, however the file will be a 25 (or 23.976, depending on format) file. In short, Premiere can't drop frames on export. That said, if you rely on the so-called relaltime preview in Premiere you may get the impression that frames are being shed.

What kind of cam is it? If it's digital skip the following and go get a firewire cable and firewire PCI card.

Tells me a little, do you know what your capture settings are? The second question is does this captured file play smoothly, the file you have before it even gets to premeire?
