Hi Everyone,

As you might know I was intending to progress with all projects that I’m running now with online video as the most effective online marketing tool and also I had some awesome ideas including the ‘Lessons In Unity’ series.

As I was considering online video for business too, I went through 12 hours of professional training for Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from Lynda (Essentials | Beyond) which I used for the production of some videos and theoretically speaking I do have advanced skill level in understanding and utilizing its features.

Recently, I posted the following entry at VideoMaker forum, looking for a solution to the problem hindering me from producing videos in satisfactory quality so far:

Hi,

I’m using Samsung SC-MX20 to capture videos for the web, that specific Camcorder does have a known problem with 16:9 videos, you can check the reviews @ amazon.com for details

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SC-MX20-Memory-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B001FA1OHW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1252801263&sr=8-2

The problem that the videos that’s supposed to be taken @ 16:9 is being read as 4:3 by every software and had to modify the aspect ratio to get it right.

So practically speaking when I import the video I’ve shot @ 16:9 (better for YouTube .etc) using the camcorder to Premiere it shows as 4:3, to fix that using Premiere I right click and chose interpret footage > modify aspect ratio to 1.2 and the video shows as 16:9 >> Great!

The problem is that If I made any editing to the video the display start behaving very strangely and add some green to the track, that mean for me that it’s not being interpreted correctly. Check the photo link below

Wondering if anyone have some experience with something similar and can help. Video are saved from the cam compressed with H.264 in MP4 format.

Thanks in advance.

Well, recording some 4:3 videos this morning I realized that the problem with every video coming from that Camcorder, so till that problem get fixed, I’m using the Cyberlink MediaShow software that came with the camcorder which produce the video in a poor quality and doesn’t have all the features I need to produce my videos in a proper quality!

If anyone has any suggestions, solutions or know any experts. That’s would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks
