Best encoding settings for slides

Hi,
I'm doing a DVD that's made up of a few Keynote slides. I export to QT (Animation Codec) and bring in to Compressor. The resulting MPEG-2 seem a bit jaggy on the text.
I have the bit-rate quite low as there's not a whole lot of movement.
Anyone have any idea what the optimum would be for this type of thing?
Thanks.

Launching uncompressed transcoding will produce huge file. I wonder, if there are some kind of draft transcoding settings/codecs which can be used to just preview final material. I already know, that when transcoding 1080p material with lots of effects will consume huge amount of processor resources. For example ~30min long project was transcoded to 1080p format in 5h. Regular DVD format needs only 3h to complete in AME-CS4. Is this time can be even shorter, with very low quality material (only for preview)?

Best export settings for slide show

I created a 3 page slide show in photoshop that I would like to burn to a DVD. The slides include copy, photos and a few logos. They look beautiful in photoshop. I've tried importing them to Final Cut Pro in order to add music and some transitions, but when I export to compressor or quicktime and burn to a DVD using Toast, everything is really fuzzy, even on my HD TV.
So I thought maybe I should do this in Motion. I exported to quicktime and used the animation codec and it looks fantastic in QT but loses some quality when I burn it to a DVD in toast.
Is my problem with Motion or Toast? And is this the way to go about it? I know FCP way better than Motion and would like to stay there. Is it possible to get the same results in FCP?

Basically I created a "powerpoint" presentation in photoshop, a series of photos with copy, etc.
I imported those slides into FCP and added transitions between slides, had some photos fade
in/out, nothing spectacular.
You left out the critical information: what size is the sequence?

And from what I've read on this post, it won't matter how I send it to compressor or qt, it will only
look as good as the DVD lets it because it's SD. Although that doesn't make sense to me because
I've had good luck sending movies I've made in FCP to a DVD and the video, as well as the titles
look pretty good.
Could be but your other movies were probably created using more DVD-friendly sequence settings and codecs.

ROM is read-only-memory. It's just a disk with some files on it. DVD is a tightly spec'd MPEG2 video format.

What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

Edit encoding settings for menus with animated background?

Hi there,
I just spoke with german support and they mentioned, that there is no way I can edit the encoding settings of encore how to generate the needed parts for an animated menu.
In this case I have a PAL M2V progressive scan used as BG and after menu rendering encore has created a M2V for the menu with strange interlacing problems ...
There seem to be options in the "project settings" > "default transcode settings" dialog (translated form german), but they are grayed out. There seems to be one setting "lower field" and I can not change to "progressive" ...
Its hard for me to believe that there are really no ways of altering the encode settings for menus. Has someone an idea?

Because DVD is Interlaced and not Progressive, I would do the Export of that Motion Asset to Interlaced with matching Field Order. There is nothing to be gained by trying to force En to do things that are not allowed by the DVD-specs. It is an authoring app. and not an NLE, so it needs the best possible, DVD-spec. material to work with.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

What are the best optimization settings for Logic 9....

Hey guys,
I am running Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.4, with a AK1 soundcard. And I was wondering what the best optimization settings for this setup are?
I have been having a few issues with drop outs in sound during playback, which is also carried over when i bounce the audio. I did some research and found my latency settings needed to be higher, so I set the I/O buffer size to 512. I am also running all samples from the local hdd, I was thinking maybe put the samples on an external drive. I also changed Logic 9 to 64bit mode.
Does anyone know if this is right and anything else I need to do with Logic and/or the AK1??

First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

Best export settings for video for web

Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward
video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
help!!

How do I determine correct media encoder settings for Blu-Ray

I am successfully producing Hi Def Blu-Ray disks by using one of the presets available in Premiere media encoder. Actually using the HDTV 1080i 25 High Quality setting. They playback in beautiful high definition but I think I was just lucky. I would really like to know what determines the setting I should use.
1. I live in Australia so I assume PAL.
2. My camera is a Sony HDV. HCR HC9 1440 x 1080i. I assume this is irrelevant to export encoding settings for Blu-Ray.
3. The export encoder preset has field order set to Upper. I would have thought I should either match the project settings which is interlaced to match my camera and project. OR more likely I should match the audience TV which would be a widesceen plama or LCD TV. I dont know if these TVs are interlaced or progressive. OR is it more a question of what field order the Blu-Ray player expects me to send on the disk?
4. I will play on a TV 1920 x 1080 pixel capable and on slightly lower resoultion widescreens. The encoder preset is for 1920 x 1080 so I assume that's ok for all widescreen TVs even lower definition ones.
As you can tell I am a learner. Any suggested links to basic reading on the subject would help me.
Robert
PS Put this item in wrong forum previously.

Since no response I've been searching and found the following.
When encoding to make a Blu-Ray disk from my HDV 1080i footage:
1. Tell encoder the source is 1080i That is interlaced and it's TOP field first for HDV footage.
2. Tell it to encode to 1440 x 1080 resolution. You could tell it 1920 x 1080 but it will take much longer to encode. Will be good but why bother. All BD players will automatically up the 1440 to 1902 full screen.
3. Beware, not all players support BD-R and BD-RE recordable disks.
Seems Panasonic is good. Samsung probably good. Sony and Sharp probably not able to read (yet).
4. All players read MPEG-2 compression and H264 compression. Use a bit rate of 25 Mbps for MPEG-2 encode or 18 Mbps for equivalent result in H264 encode. Can use higher rates. These are minimums for a very good result
5. One pass encode is pretty damn good but use two pass if you have the time to wait for the encode.

CS4 Best Encoding Procedure for HD to SD?

I am working on a wedding project in Premiere CS4. Half of my footage is shot with a Canon XL2 (SD) and the other half with Canon XHA1(HDV). I decided not to uprez my SD footage to HD since Red Giant is giving me tons of problems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZHHa_G5_UI
What I want to do is work on the hd and sd footage in an sd project and export in the end to mpeg2 (DVD).
Now my problem is left for the professionals to answer: What is the best encoding procedure for the SD export quality to be best. Should I encode in MPEG 2, or dvd, or another format since the footage is both hdv and sd. Another BIG issue is that hdv (I heard) is upper field, while sd is lower field. I shot in interlaced mode so what is the best way to encode without losing quality if my XL2 is lower field and XH A1 is upper.
Note: converting to progressive is NOT an option for me. PP looses a ton of quality converting to progressive. Red GIANT ****** takes FOREVER to convert interlaced to progressive. I tried a 10 min footage and it took like 60 hours to convert (realistically). And I have a quad core processor.
So, good insight would really help me out. I struggled for weeks with Red Giant, but they're a disapointment because it seems they don't know much about 64 bit processors.
Summary: Need best way or procedure to encode both SD and HD footage in one project to DVD output without losing quality.

The easiest and imo the best way is to capture the hdv footage as SD
Edit everything in SD and burn to dvd.

Best color settings for document view?

Which is best color settings for different document formats with the same color profile?
There are Tiff and Pdf documents with same color profile but look different.
Thanks!

Bridge is file browser with custom preview options, but it's not a pre-press examination application. Just don't use it for that purpose.
P.S. First one is the best as far as I see. I don't like ruined «A» in second example. If you want to get more ballance, you can shift the left side also a bit.

Xcode 3.2.6 best build settings for Mac

Hi!
I'm using Xcode 3.2.6 on Mountain Lion 10.8.5 to create Applescript based applications.
They are tiny utilities that needs more complex UI Applescript can provide.
I''m wondering what's the best build settings for applications aimed to run on Mac OS X
- since 10.6
- non universal binary (no PPC code)
- 64 and 32 bit
Thanks for your help.

Mark,
Now I'm confident about my buids.
red_menace,
Ok. That's what I was affraid about. So if I want to go further, I have to learn AppleScriptObjC.
But the learning curve…
I'm not a developper. Just a graphic designer.
Don't have the time to check out this link, but maybe the solution for a smooth transiton to AppleScriptObjC is there:
