Right click the clip on the timeline and select SCALE TO FRAME SIZE. As with HDV, choose your I/O points, and drag your clip down onto the timeline where you want it. You can import your NTSC footage to your project – chances are you’re dealing in the old and trusted 720 x 480 AVI format.

**I will be using the terms ‘AVI,’ ‘NTSC,’ ‘DV,’ and ‘analog’ interchangeably since HDV in the Premiere workspace is MPEG-based proprietorially and most of our standard media was AVI/DV based.**ġ.) The simple Two-Step Fit-to-Frame With No Background. Here’s what can be done, by using a frame of VHS footage from my college TV Production archive, dubbed to DV and then captured by Adobe Premiere Pro. When you’re working with DV in an HD project, be prepared because there WILL be resizing involved. TV stations and cable channels are still using their old analog/DV formats when they need to pull file footage or vintage programming.įor my Thesis in late 2009 for my Masters Degree in Education from Nova Southeastern University, I produced several reels comprised of both HDV and DV footage, including a considerable amount of archived material on VHS and 8mm tape. I myself have been shooting video as far back as 1993 on VHS (yes, I proudly state that and thus date myself). The method of up-converting is easy, and I prefer to use Adobe Premiere Pro when working in video production. But the million dollar question is: What about the millions of hours of digital and analog footage out there, found in collections, archives and bins? Do you keep it, donate it or trash it? Is it still usable? Yes, and you can upconvert it to high definition very easily. High Definition is the new video standard, and most raw footage today is shot in the 1080i/p format.

We’re now 3 years post-DTV conversion in the United States, when all full-powered and licensed TV stations were required to sign off their long standing analog signals and go digital-only.
