Viewing clip properties
Premiere Pro includes clip analysis tools that you can use to evaluate a file in any supported format stored inside or outside a project. For example,
after producing a video clip to be streamed from a web server, you can use clip analysis tools to determine whether a clip you exported has an
appropriate data rate for Internet distribution.
The Properties panel provides detailed information about any clip. For video files, analyzed properties can include the file size, number of audio
channels, duration, frame rate, audio sample rate, average data rate, and codecs. The Properties panel will not show all these properties for every
clip. The data shown in the Properties panel is determined by the file format of the clip being examined.
View clip properties
Do one of the following:
If the clip is in the Project panel, select it to display a subset of its properties in the preview area at the top of the Project panel.
If the clip is in the Source Monitor, Timeline panel, or Project panel, select it and choose File > Get Properties For > Selection.
If the clip is not in the project, choose File > Get Properties For > File. Locate and select the clip you want to analyze, and then click
Open.
You can also view clip properties in the Source Monitor, Timeline panel, or Project panel by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking
(Mac OS) a clip and choosing Properties.
Viewing field order for clips
In Premiere Pro CS6, you can determine the field order for a clip in the Preview Area of the Project panel. In the Preview Area, and next to the
clip, you can view information about the clip. Next to the timecode information, the field order is listed.
LFF indicates a lower-field first field order for the clip.
UFF indicates a upper-field first field order for the clip.
In Premiere Pro CS6, the Preview Area is hidden by default. Enable it in the panel menu of the Project panel.
Determining if a clip has interlaced or progressive scanning
In Premiere Pro CS6, you can determine if a clip has interlaced or progressive scanning in the Preview Area of the Project panel. In the Preview
Area, and next to the clip, you can view information about the clip. Next to the timecode information, an indicator for interlaced or progressive
scanning can be seen.
"i" indicates the clip has interlaced scanning
"p" indicates the clip has progressive scanning
Change the frame rate of clips
You can use the Interpret Footage command to change the frame rate that Premiere Pro assumes for a clip. When changing the frame rate of a
clip, audio is changed, in addition to the video. Changing the frame rate changes the original duration proportionally. For example, if you set a 10-
second, 24-fps clip to 48 fps, it becomes half as long, with a new duration of 5 seconds. Clip frame rate is reconciled with the sequence frame
rate. For example, if you change a 24-fps clip in a 24-fps sequence to 48 fps, the sequence displays only every other frame of the clip.
You can also change clip speed and duration by choosing the Clip > Speed/Duration command for a clip selected in a Timeline panel. However,
such a change affects only that clip instance in a Timeline panel. Using the Interpret Footage command changes how a file is interpreted
throughout a project.
1. In the Project panel, right-click the desired clip.
2. Select Modify > Interpret Footage, and do one of the following:
Select Use Frame Rate From File,
Select Assume This Frame Rate, and type the number of frames per second.
3. Click OK.
