Premiere Questions/Problems

[Machine514]

I am having serious problems with Premiere 6.5.

I am putting together a short video with pictures and text. The pictures and text must line up perfectly. In the preview window the text and pictures DO line up perfectly. Now I export with the MPG encoder and the text is offset to the right by a ~30 pixels. I have done this before in other projects and it worked perfectly. I know that I am doing it exactly the same. What can I do to resolve this?


I was just thinking maybe it is an encoder version problem. I have the original version that came with Premiere 6.5. Will the upgraded version take care of this problem? What is the link to upgrade?

Thanks!

but that has nothing to do with your problem (but upgrade to 1.3 beta anyway)

If the images and text are off by 30 pixels in mpg, then they were already off by 30 pixels in the Timeline. The reason it looked centerd, is the smaller preview screen makes it harder to tell.

Go here http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutorials.htm for some great tutorials on Adobe Premiere.

Couple of quick things to check..
Are you applying these titles to one clip, or many short clips?
Reason I ask,
If you right click each clip in the TIMEINE individually and select
VIDEO, then check mark the item there that says MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO.. THIS MIGHT FIX YOUR PROBLEM as this way your clips are not stretched as they render..
Second.. Check the PROJECT PREVIEW SETTINGS vs. the PROJECT SETTINGS..
Maybe the frame size in pixels is changing unexpectedly as you go from the CORRECT SETTING in preview to the actual "PROJECT SETTINGS"

Just aT hought

Thanks all for the reply.

BJ_M...I will upgrade the encoder. Does it encode faster?

racer-x...I reviewed the tutorials at wrigleyvideo. They are great! I am not sure if that is the problem. I tried to resize it and all.

dcsos...that is exactly what I was looking for! I will check the aspect ratios and the project/preview settings!

Thanks again!

I downloaded the latest encoder for Premiere and it does not work (I also tried 1.2).

This is what I did and the exact problem that I ran into.

-I uninstalled the encoder that came with Premiere.

-I then installed the 1.3 version encoder. It asked for the location of the premiere.exe file, so I pointed it to the file.

-I then rebooted and opened Premiere and encoded something that I was working on. It extracted with no errors.

-I then went to play the video file and I got an error that said I needed the following file..."mplvpx.dll"

-I downloaded it off the net, put it in the windows/system directory and now I went to play the m2v file. I did not get an error but it just showed a black screen with a red "X".

Anyone see this before? How can I fix this so I can use the latest encoder?

Thanks!
