How to Export VX1000 Footage as 60p for YouTube with Premiere Pro

How do you export Sony VX1000 footage as 720p60 for KZbin with Adobe Premiere Pro? In this video I show you in detail exactly how I achieve this. Premiere Pro makes it easy to change your sequence settings in order to switch your standard definition footage into 60 frames per second.
Camera: Sony VX1000 (Japanese model)
Edited with: Adobe Premiere Pro version 14.0.2

[@michaeldennis8258]

bro yes i just got a vx2000 and all these vids are coming in super handy especially from someone who actually films skating, don’t stop man it does a lot for some of us

[@michaeldennis8258]

By the way do u have an alternative to mpeg stream clip for catalina users?

Great work! Keep em coming. Would highly appreciate a vx settings video from you.

[@christopherthiessen5586]

More to come! A VX settings vid would be dope.😉

thank you! ive been looking at how to scale up and keep high quality when workin with my sony hi8

[@moritzueberall]

thank you soo much!!! new edit coming up today, edited with your help from the video! dope

[@AlHodgson]

Yo Chris. Hope you're good man. Just wondering, are there benefits of bringing the VX clips into an HD Anamorphic 1080 16:9 sequence, as opposed to bringing it into a Square Pixels sequence with HD 4:3 dimensions (e.g. 1080x1440)? Would this be essentially the same but 4:3 so without the black bars? Or am I missing something important that the Anamorphic HD or 16:9 sequence provides? When I do the method I mentioned, KZbin still reads it as HD but 4:3, but I'm just checking that I'm not blowing the quality somehow haha. Thanks dude!

[@LjayCinema]

second this..

[@djsusan00]

I just learned about this the other day, was wondering the same.

[@mauricarreno]

I have the same question, why using anamorphic HD 16:9. Any news on this?

[@edwinmatos3698]

thank you vxmaster! crispy work

[@christopherthiessen5586]

You're welcome!😉

[@noloNashville]

JOSH WILHITE WIDDIT! I'm about to try this out, mane.

[@ThomasGuerinos]

Why not choosing square pixels though ? It would be nice to check the difference between this method, and a source format timeline upscaled during export.

[@Jbagggg]

A great and informative video! Thank you for the uploads

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Any idea on settings that would accomplish the same song on Vegas pro 16?

[@JordanTexalona]

What about if you don't want the black mattes on the side? And if you are working with 4:3 scan Super 8 footage with your VX footage?

[@colechristian3501]

i watch this every time i upload

[@PHONY__]

ive watched this once a week for a year

[@TAPELESSVX]

I think it is not working anymore, i do the exact same but the clips doesnt look any different.... :/ can that be an issue with premiere pro ? cause i am sure i did everythink exactly like u did

[@osmar2580]

Dude I noticed it immediately on your videos on KZbin. Always wondered why vx footage looks so bad on KZbin even tho I remember when I watched dvds it was clear

thank you Chris !!🗝🔓🙌🏼

Thank ya!

[@raph_tk]

Thank you! But is this also possible with Final Cut Pro? Thanks

[@razyosa3347]

Im trying it rn with HitFilm express editing software (its free). if u want I can let u know if its succesful. its setup/layout/ui is VERY simlar to premire pro, so i was for the most part able to copy exactly the steps in this video but in that editor. just different ways to do the same things as far as presets and settings

[@savagesavs13]

blessing us thank you

[@christopherthiessen5586]

No problem! I am hyped to share.

[@dr.browneye2700]

my clips in the new sequence are some what blurry and grainy but when i pause its clear and crisp any way to fix this??

Thanks for this

[@mmattwalshh]

does this apply for instagram as well?

[@RBeeDrums]

What’s your method of initially importing your tapes?

[@christopherthiessen5586]

I capture my footage in Premiere Pro using the capture option. I use firewire to connect the VX to the computer to capture.

[@RBeeDrums]

[@zzzfabio]

i'm in Europe and filming on a panasonic NVGS400 (still 3ccd/miniDV) and the original format is PAL 25fps instead of NTSC 24,97 does that change anything to the process ? Thank you for this amazing video though, it's very interesting and a time saver for sure.

[@vcr4497]

Late reply but try 50p instead of 60 as shown in this video

[@zzzfabio]

@@vcr4497 thanks Jonah it’s all good I’ll try that later

[@0rionskate]

thanks for this man,i was wondering do you use this setting for exporting for dvd ? adobe media encore?

[@0rionskate]

i am curious for best exporting for dvds

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

pretty cool but why not do a 720p vs 480p?

[@laustbroe106]

Hey Does anyone know the sequence settings for hpx? My problem is then i upload the video to KZbin its losing quality

[@nicolasdribolla1646]

Thank you! Out of curiosity, why do you switch the 29.97 footage to 59.64 if the VX shoots at 29.97? Wouldn't doubling the frame-rate give the motion a weird look?

[@AlHodgson]

For NTSC DV footage there are 59.94 (60) frames displayed as 29.97 (30) interlaced frames. So you have the choice of using either 30 or 60 for your footage.

[@Dyl_Cam]

Yes, it does and most of the time you notice it, however, some of these vx1000 videos I see somehow look flawless. I suspect they are exporting with final cut or some other software with a different interpolation method. All I know is don't use optical flow for interpolation, it gives the video artifacts where there's motion.

[@saucethebosss]

Anybody have the recipe for exporting crispy out of FCPX?

[@doubleghetto]

[@carlocatalanvisuals144]

Can you do this in Final Cut Pro?

[@CameronAllOneWord]

I've got a question for ya. I notice that a lot of HD skate videos are 30FPS like Baker 4 for example but I'm 100% certain that they shoot at 60FPS so are they editing 60 on a 60 timeline and exporting at 30? Or putting 60 on a 30 timeline? If I want my final video to be 30FPS then should I be shooting in 30 and only do 60 for clips that I want to slomo? Sorry for the long question but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could answer

[@dylanwiggins839]

They shoot 60 fps and then put it in a 30 timeline, so for slow mo clips the frames are there but you still get the smooth 30 otherwise

[@Henrymooneymedia]

Why do you do anamorphic as apposed to1.0 pixel ratio? I know it gives the pillar boxing but what does it actually mean?

[@BluntsSkateCo]

Fuck yea thanks for this homie!

[@provinceskateboards5006]

Hi, guys. Can you tell me please how add .avi capture to an Adobe Premiere on OS Catalina?

[@f2pf006]

which one you prefer for digital mode, 16:9 or overlap?

[@christopherthiessen5586]

I'd probably stick with 16:9.

[@mansateuras22]

Could that work on Pal vx1000 footage as well?

[@MichaelSvenson]

Why don't you just change the frame rate and leave the size alone? I see you changed 30 interlaced to 60p but its still SD, why bother changing it to "HD", like I doubt its creating pixels that werent there to begin with. Does it really look clearer in the end result? Isnt it still just 480 enlarged to a 720 canvas so to speak?

[@AlHodgson]

If you don't upres the footage to 'HD' (720/1080), KZbin will automatically read the upload as 480, compressing the footage and cutting the frame-rate to a maximum of 30FPS. So in order to get the visible change in framerate for KZbin, you need to increase the resolution. It also avoids KZbin's compression.

[@GilletteSkater]

Hey, just got a VX2000 and I use the FS-100 to record my footage onto. Im using RAWDV as a format, and when i capture the footage in premiere, its 30fps. Anybody know how to capture the vx2000 at 60 like it films in?

[@mysickmemepagebro3271]

the VX2000 films at 30fps but the frames are interlaced so there’s two images per frame, if you want to achieve 60fps you’d have to deinterlace it in post

[@skatenoia1727]

[@michaeldennis8258]

how to get footage to instagram?

[@vxshade]

I keep getting 4:3 and cant get 16:9 what am I doing wrong? Never used premiere before hahaha

[@ROEVOSS]

you would have to scale it up but theres not really any reason to make it 16:9

[@dickflip2663]

Do you import straight from your vx or with a camcorder? I’m trying to see if another camera in necessary for importing!

[@EddieGannon04]

It's not 100% necessary but highly recommended. If you capture or playback straight off of your vx it will wear down the heads quicker. It's better to get a cheaper camera to use for playing back and capturing that way you don't wear down the heads on your expensive vx

[@joshsambucco]

i exported my clip and it went between 30fps & 60fps.. any idea why this would be?

[@joshsambucco]

as in it would change between 30 frames & 60 frames.. even in between clips!

[@stephanbroyles1127]

Post norgeor!!!

[@skatehypeskateboardingsoci5912]

Hi, we have a better solution for VX footage, a platform that supports NTSC/PAL interlaced footage. Then, if you have NTSC footage, edit and export on NTSC, then upload it directly on skatehype.com has full support and goes 60fps automatically for all devices. You have to be a registered member but, no data tracking or ads on this platform, just skateboarding. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
