using Adobe Premier Time Stretch/Slow Motion

[rion]

guys, I have a problem with Adobe Premier,

When I add slow motion or time stretch of the mpg video in Adobe Premier, the outcome on any area with slow motion applied, becomes all bouncy and shaky all over the place. what should I do to prevent this?

or is there any other way to create slowmotion effect, other than in time or speed adjustment settings?

thanks.

Premiere isn't designed to do much other than cuts with MPeg2 imports.

Mainconcept has a MPeg2 plug-in for ~$250 that permits most effects to work in Premiere Pro.

Folks, please remember to ALWAYS edit avi and NOT Mpgs. Most of the case as to why a piece of software can't seem to do this or that or accept this rez /format file , is due to the user trying to get it to do something it is not intended to do. At least not officially.

that figures... but there is nothing I can do with mpg. since this is the format I got.

if I convert this mpg to avi then edit it in avi format this time, will it work?

There is a way around when your only source files are MPEGs. If they open and play in Premiere, you can always export them 1st to AVI files using codecs already there (like DV AVI). Then you either import back these AVI files into your existing project or create a new one and import these AVI files into this new project and edit with glee. There are a few caveats: if the MPEGs were MPEG-1 (such as those lifted from VCD or the output files of some digital camera's video mode) they are probably low-res and in the conversion to AVI (like standard 720x480 DV AVI) the upsampling process may or may not make them look worse in the AVI form. Better results are obtained with MPEG-2 sources (such as those lifted from DVDs, whether movie DVDs or camcorder DVDs) that are duly 720x480. These are tedious steps, true, but anyone serious in dealing with MPEG sources in Premiere and still want a modicum of quality will have to go through them.

bad news for me, these are mpeg-1 formats.

I'll try converting it to avi and see if slow-mo will work... thanks guys!

yes, after you convert to avi I suggest using the huffyuv codec uncompressed, you can then do wonders with the avi, smooth on the timeline, try it.. you will understand, keep in mind the uncompressed avi, NOT div-x or x-vid will be HUGE. So edit it and re encode.

Hey you can still cut the part out of the video and just convert that part, you can work with mpg's in Premiere but don't expect much, it will also crash Premiere 6.5 I know of, Seems ok in Pro, just not fun to edit the mpg, I do it a lot, you really need a fast system also.
