Rate
In general, higher rates provide better audio quality when you play back audio in
sequences, but they require more disk space and processing.
Resampling
, or setting a
different rate from the original audio, also requires additional processing time and affects
the quality. Try to record audio at a high-quality sample rate, and capture audio at the rate
at which it was recorded.
Display Format (audio)
Specifies whether audio time display is measured using audio
samples or milliseconds. Display Format applies when Audio Units is selected in the
Monitor window menu. (By default, time is displayed in frames, but it can be displayed in
audio units for sample-level precision when you are editing audio.)
Note: DV video and audio use standardized settings that are specified automatically
when you select DV Playback editing mode. When you use DV Playback editing mode,
avoid changing the Time Base, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, Fields, and Sample Rate
settings.
Specifying Capture settings
If you’re capturing DV source media, you don’t need to change capture settings. When DV/
IEEE 1394 Capture is the selected capture format, no options are available because the
options are automatically set to the IEEE 1394 standard. Additional capture formats and
options may appear if you install other software, such as software included with a capture
card certified to be compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro.
To specify capture settings:
1
Choose Project > Project Settings > Capture.
2
Choose a Capture format and select options as desired.

Specifying Video Rendering settings
Video rendering settings affect how Adobe Premiere Pro generates video when you select
Sequence > Render Work Area.
To specify video rendering settings:
1
Choose Project > Project Settings > Video Previews.

Select one of the following options:
Compressor
Specifies the codec for Adobe Premiere Pro to apply when previewing
sequences. The codecs available depend on the Editing Mode option specified by your
preset or selected in the General Settings panel. Click Configure (if available) to set
options
specific to the selected codec. If you specified an editing mode provided by a manufacturer
of a video-capture card or other hardware, see whether the documentation for the
hardware recommends a particular codec. Otherwise, consider specifying the same codec
as the source clip to preserve quality and to process edits quickly. If you want to play video
back through your capture card to an NTSC or PAL monitor, choose the codec specific to
your capture card. The codec cannot be configured for DV because it must use the
standard DV codec.
Note: If you use a clip in your video program without applying effects or changing frame
or time characteristics, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the clip’s original codec for playback. If
you make changes that require recalculation of each frame, Adobe Premiere Pro applies
the codec that you choose here.
Color Depth
Indicates the color bit depth or number of colors to include in video played
back in sequences. This button may not be available if the selected compressor provides
only one option for bit depth. You can also specify an 8-bit (256-color) palette when
preparing a video program for 8-bit color playback, such as when using the Video For
Windows editing mode for the Web or for some presentation software. The Palette button
