"This is Kyle with Expert Village I'm covering some topics on Adobe premiere. This is very basic if you have ever used premiere you might already know alot of this but if you just got the program and you have no clue what you are doing this is a great little guide. Now number one the first thing after the splash screen is you open a project or you start a new project. If you go to the new project there is some basic settings here you got your standard 44 gigahertz this is probably the number one new setting as for right now if you have little DVD camera. If you have a wide screen you could probably hold that I use a JVC 8 HD camera so I actually shot in 720 but the 1080 they have the option for that. That is used alot with Canon camera's, a lot of the bigger the Sanyo camera's. Now they also have a 24P option for Panasonic sometimes you might have to purchase a little extra software like sensaform has software that is speciality for HD players if you need that. They also have for pal but for anyway these are the basic settings. But anyway the custom settings here you want to go through each settings here and you want to know before hand what exactly you are doing. So in editing mode you want to edit DV play back, HD play back so right now we are going to go with DV because that is what we are doing. 2397 that is more like 24 inter-piece inter lace mode so probably what you are going to want to do is going on down to 2997 that is pretty standard broad cast size, here you can't change it but it is 720x480 that is the most common used framed used in television right now until the wide screen stuff. There is alot of options here on the aspics ratio alot of times I pick square pixels just because it is a very easy way I do alot of stuff that goes in between multi medias of the square pixels could fit with any size. You have your NTIC your .9, your wide screen so what you might want to do if you have a specific project that you might want to render out just a little few seconds just to see how it fits with your framing and it depends the outlet that you want to go.
