length. Use to output sequential stills such as those generated for an animation or DPX film editor.
Frames timecode simply numbers each frame in sequential order.
Note: When working with NTSC video assets, you should usually use 30 fps drop-frame timecode. This format
conforms with the timecode base inherent in NTSC video footage and displays its duration most accurately.

in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor. Titles are usually assumed to require a wider safe zone than action.

In general, higher rates provide better audio quality when you play back audio in sequences, but they
Sample Rate
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.
Specifies whether audio time display is measured using audio samples or milliseconds. Display
Display Format
Format applies when Show Audio Time Units is selected in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor 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 Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio,
Fields, and Sample Rate settings.
Video Rendering settings
Video Rendering settings determine the file format, compressor, and color depth Adobe Premiere Pro uses for
preview files and playback of clips and sequences.
Maximizes the color bit depth, up to 32 bpc, to include in video played back in sequences. This
Maximum Bit Depth
setting 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 bpc color playback, such as when using the
Desktop editing mode for the web or for some presentation software. If your project will contain high-bit-depth
assets generated by programs such as Adobe Photoshop, or high-definition camcorders, select Maximum Bit Depth
to make Adobe Premiere Pro make use of all the color information in those assets when processing effects or gener-
ating preview files.
These options determine the file format, compressor, and color depth Adobe Premiere Pro uses for
Previews
preview files and playback. Select a combination that gives the best quality previews while keeping rendering time
and file size within tolerances acceptable for your system. For certain editing modes, these settings cannot be
