[videoblogging] Re: Video quality in Premiere Elements
I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but try this: - Right click on the file after it's been imported - See if there's an option to "Interpret Footage" - If so, make sure you select it to whatever widescreen format is in the options (probably a drop down list). Like I said, I don't have Premiere Elements, but you never know!

Hmm...Everio. Yeah...my understanding is that you are going to have problems with that camera and Premiere until 3rd or 4th quarter 2007. Which is weird because I also heard that JVC is going to be dumping the Everio line. I could be very wrong though. It's all hearsay. I was going to purchase one of those and backed off real quick when I was told that HDD cameras arent where it's at yet with video editing. DV tape is still the deal when it comes to editing footage. The big NLE developers arent really helping matters either with not officially supporting the HDD cameras. Ok...THAT said...you might want to try and get some better (read more informed) help with your Everio and PE3 on the Adobe forums.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Video quality in Premiere Elements
My camcorder (a JVC Everio) was set to widescreen when I shot. When Premiere Elements tries to make the clip 4:3 I look all compressed and it's obviously squished (not that I don't love how skinny it makes me look, but...). If I click on Interpret Footage the pixel aspect from file seems to be D1/DV NSTC (0.9). I can force it to conform to D1/DV NTSC Widscreen (1.2) looks correct after making that change. I guess I will have to manually tell Premiere Elements that each clip is actually widescreen. What a pain in the rear. Thank you for your help, both David and Paul.

[videoblogging] Re: Video quality in Premiere Elements
Are you sure that you are shooting in Widescreen format? I shoot in widescreen 99% of the time and have never had a problem with Premiere Elements 3 or Final Cut Express. If you are sure you are shooting in widescreen, try right clicking on the file in the Available Media and select "Interpret Footage". That should do it.
