i cant import clips.....

i made some clips by 3ds max, formatted at Pal D-1, which is 30 frames per second. i simply import it to my premiere, :twisted: , wht should i do?

at the opening of the project, there is a choice allowing me to choose Pal or NTSC, i had choose all of them, it is not successful. how could i import my max clips to my premiere?

To begin with, what format did you rrender them in?

A smart thing to do while rendering 3d (and parts of 2d) stuff is to use image sequences instead of clips. That gives you more import options and if someting goes wrong while rendering you donīt hae to start from the begining.

But what format: avi, quicktime? What codec? I understand that you rendered them in PAL

Mayby you have the wrong framerate, Pal is standarded for 24 or 25 per sec.
The resolution for Pal is also different from NTSC. Try fixing your framerate in after effects via
consolite footage and change the footage framerate to 30->24.

Or you have made corrupted file and need to render them out using image sequence like Tga or Tiff.

Does afx import the file?

Afx=after effects :)

Now is it possible for you to import the clip into after effects, or are you having trouble to do that as well?

If thats the way it is you have to open it in some other application (quicktimeplayer pro for example) and try to export it to another format.



To chance the framerate in Afx you use: File-> interpret footage.

PAL is always 25 fps.

Rendering out in a PAL D1 resolution and encoding at 30 fps is a very bad idea imho.
For your own intern purposes this might be OK, but you should start to work with some standards like PAL and/or NTSC and their assigned framerates instead of mixing your own because it ends up in confusion.
For instance if I order a PAL D1 sequence from anyone, I don't want to have to say explicit that it has to be in 25 fps (as this shall be clear by the name) and that's why I wouldn't waste a word about it. Starting to wok and discovering that I have to retime it because of its wrong framerate is very annoying.
This framerate and size/resoultion stuff is very basic, so have a look at it.

now with my 30 frame scripts, how could i open it in premiere? just need to change the frame rate setting in the premiere?

i forget to tell u something, it could be open in the Mac final cut pro HD....

sry to tell u that i still didnt open the script in the premiere, my stipud machines go crash again...

Sounds like a Codec issue to me. Which Codec do you use for your 'scripts'?

azloha

codec? i think i didnt add any codec on it.

i output my max file with this settings: 720*576, Pal D-1, mjpeg of 90% quality. just that it. how could i know if i had used any codec for my scripts?

AAAron

In this case your codec is mjepg, and the frame rate should be 25fps since your rendered it in pal. Now Afx or Premiere should not have any trouble opening those files, but obviously they have that.

First do you got quicktime installed, if you donīt install it and try again.

If it still dosenīt work I recomend you to open your clips in som other program, Finalcut for example and render them out to another format. I would recomend a targa sequence, or quicktime animation codec. Leave the other settings on PAL D-1.

the frame rate is 30 not 25, i had checked that....

PAL is a standard which runs with 25 fps, everywhere, with another framerate it isn't PAL anymore, wether yo have chosen PAL D1 in the resolution or not(resolution not framerate).
Maybe Premiere can't handle that problem while FCP can.
I have no idea, if this is the solution, I just would try it with the correct PAL-framerate(25 fps), and even if this doesn't work, stick to the common terminology/standards used in production.

BTW the word is clip not script. Script is something completely different and has nothing to do with rendering something out. Chinese or not, do yourself a favor and learn how to use terminology, it makes communication much easier

Ok, to fix this problem once and for all. Make sure that you got quicktime installed. Open the clips in Finalcut and render them out as Quicktime animation codec PAL D-1 (720x576 px) 25fps.

hi, when you open after effects, in the main box, at left, double click to import your footage.

right click, make a new composition.
You could adjust Frames setting during this screen, at the bottom
you could define the time and the Frame per second rate.

No itīs not there you do it. Tough you can rightclick on the imported image, you have to choose interpret footage. Thats where you adjust the frame rate of an imported clip.

A tip is to read the whole thread, since I already answered that question in an earlier post.
And this whole thread is getting a bit long ;)
