Best Setting for Export

I am trying to figure out what setting I should use to export a movie using Export to Quicktime Movie. I want the best resolution for display on any type of TV. Most of the footage is 16x9 / 480P. What will give me the maximum quality? Thanks for the help!

You cannot add quality using an export or conversion.
Export QT/Current Settings/Self Contained/Audio and Video/No recompression.

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

  • What is the best setting for exporting an HD sequence as DV?

    I want to make sure that my end product is the highest quality and for some reason I don't think I am getting it. when I play it on my big screen, it doesn't look sharp.
    I am doing a project weekly that has 3 movies; one is nothing but pictures trasitioning to music. The second is a corporate TV 30 second spot that I converted to a .mov file (it came to me as a super huge .wmv file). The third is high def with photos to music.
    For some reason, when I put all three in the same time line, it freezes FCP. (I guess that is another thread....) So I am doing all three in separate timelines, then bringing them all into DVD Studio Pro.
    I do the clips 1 and 3 in HD, but have to export them as apple pro res 422 1280x480 30 because if I go "current settings", it makes it a HD .mov. The reason I don't want this is because in DVD Studio, I can't have 2 HD clips and 1 that is not. (I posted that problem in that forum and figured out that was the reason why the DVD wasn't playing)
    So my question: am I down grading this HD sequence the best way? Here are the sequence's settings:
    frame size: 1440x810
    pixel aspect ratio: hd (1440x1080)
    field dom: Upper (odd)
    editing timebase: 29.97
    Quicktime Video setting: compressor hdv 1080i60
    Also, the fact that a 7 minute movie is only taking 10 minutes to render makes me nervous.......
    Thanks in advance!

    Aubry,
    why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

  • Best setting for export to web

    I want to upload videos to the web.  Some will be to youtube and I assume that the export to youtube format is best for that.  But Youtube degrades the image resolution a lot.  Is there a way to minimize that?
    Also, if I upload to my own site what would the best settings be assuming I shot the video in the highest resolution setting?
    Thanks

    The YouTube presets built into Premiere Pro CS5 were designed with YouTube and do not require any transcoding once they've been uploaded to YouTube.  Most video that you send up there gets transcoded by them into their file format.  This usually results in pixelated output that is what you're trying to avoid...
    Other than that, try to stick to H.264 for encoding whenever possible and higher bit rate.  Knowing how your video is going to be presented is really the key.
    Basic things to consider are:
    Total available bandwidth
    frame size
    frame rate
    amount of motion/action in the scene or video
    In the end, I will say that creating good output is still more art than science as there are a lot of variables.  Do some research  on the subject and I know that it will result in better video for you.
    Hope this helps,
    Dennis

  • Best setting for exporting my fcp6 sequence for DVD

    Hello,
    So I imported all my footage from an HD Cam into FCP 6... it gave all my clips the apple pro res 22 codec, with the 1440x1080 setting
    I cut the sequence... and now I'm ready to get her onto a DVD.
    When I go to export, what are my best options? I'm going to play the cut on an HD tv.
    Thanks

    What kind of TV you play back isn't as important as the media and player. What kind of player (DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD) is it? To what kind of disc are you burning, (SD) DVD or HD-DVD? Also, how long is your sequence?

  • Best setting for export to revver/youtube/vimeo

    Hey,
    I've been trying all different settings and i still haven't been able to find the combination that makes for good quality video on sites such as revver/youtube/vimeo. I've tried all types of tutes online but none seem to work for me. I know theres a youtube setting but most people seem to say this is exports too small a size.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    I'm not familiar with revver. YouTube is not up to the quality of Vimeo. I suggest exporting for Vimeo, using the suggested settings on the Vimeo site. Use that same file for uploading to YouTube/revver.
    To give you an example of the quality you can achieve on Vimeo, here is a clip I posted. The source material was 4:3 DV in a 16:9 SD project, encoded to 1280x720 (Vimeo HD) WMV with 2-pass unconstrained VBR with target bitrate at 5500 Mbps and audio at 128 Kbps.

    Even on YouTube it looks decent.

  • Best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD

    I am looking to find out what is the best practice for exporting from iMovie '08 to iDVD. I have read the other postings that give the basic howto (export to Media Browser then select the video in iDVD). However, my question is a little more technical. I have 1080i HD projects. I am interested in burning them to DVD in the best possible quality. What setting should I be using when I publish to Media Browser?
    I am wondering about quality loss due to more than one conversion/compression. I suspect that when I export to the Media Browser then this is occurring. If I am not mistaken iMovie is using something like H.264 for this. Then, when I run iDVD I suspect it will it do another conversion/compression, I think to get to MPEG2. Not only could this result in a loss of quality but also it will take extra time. I am interested to know what others think about this.
    Finally, I am looking to create DVDs for a lot of video. I am wondering if there are any USB or firewire hardware devices out there that could speed up the compression. I use the Elgato Turbo.264 when I want to encode to H.264 but I wonder if there is something similar for DVD creation.
    Thanks in advance.

    the standards for videoDVD are 720x480, and usually mpeg2 encoded..
    so, your HiDef project HAS to be 'downsampled' somehow..
    I would Export with Qucktime/apple intermediate => which is the 'format' your project is allready, and you avoid any useless 'inbetween encoding'..
    iDVD will 'swallow' this huge export file - don't mind: iDVD cares for length, not size.
    iDVD will then convert into DVD-standards..
    you can 'raise' quality, by using projects <60min - this sets iDVD automatically to highest technical possible bitrate
    hint: judge pic quality on a DVDplayer + TV.. not on your computer (DVDs are meant for TVdelivery)

  • Best Codec for exporting animations with alpha channel from FCP timeline

    Whats the best codec for exporting animations (hopefully using loseless compression) that will retain alpha channel, and use the current sequence settings for fps and size?
    Currently Im exporting image sequences, but I'd prefer a wrapper.. I don't know much about the 'Animation' export codec.. I did notice that set to current size had some funky value of 753x450 or something.. instead of my current project size of 1920x1080...
    Anyhow.. Just seeing what others are doing..
    basically Im reading out some titles that I'll end up dropping over video later.. but since they render out so slowly (**** lower 3rds is slow) Im trying to get a jump on the process..
    Tx..

    PNG should do it. I think PNG is lossless (that's what they say, anyway). But realistically, if you use PNG, Animation, or JPG2000 set on highest quality, I'd dare you to tell a difference.
    I use PNG because it's supposedly lossless, renders twice as fast as Animation in a FCP timeline, and is usually about half the size.
    If you use "Export Using Quicktime Conversion", you will need to check all of the settings manually to make sure they match your sequence settings. This is always true, no matter what codec you use.
    If that sounds risky, your other option is to go into your sequence settings and change the codec to the one you want to render to (this will probably turn your whole timeline red), and then choose Export -> Quicktime movie.

  • What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

    Hi

    Thank you very much.

    Thanks for reply !
    I used until now quicktime in H264 codec was that OK ?
    two more questions :
    what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
    to play on my PC using  windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Best practice for exporting a dps folio so a third party can work on it?

    Hi All,
    Keen for some thoughts on the best practice for exporting a dps folio, indd files, links and all, so a third party can carry on the work. Is their a better alternative to packaging each individual indd file and sharing the folio through adobe?
    I know there have been similar questions here in the past, but the last (that i've found) was updated mid 2011 and I was wondering if their have been any improvements to this seemingly backwards workflow since then.
    Thanks in advance!

    Nothing better than packaging them and using Dropbox to share. I caution you
    on one thing as far as packaging:

  • Best Practices for Export

    I have recently begun working with a few AIC-encoded home movie files in FCPX. My goal is to compress them using h.264 for viewing on computer screens. I had a few questions about the best practices for exporting these files, as I haven't worked with editing software in quite some time.
    1) Is it always recommended that I encode my video in the same resolution as its source? For example, some of my video was shot at 1440x1080, which I can only assume is anamorphic. I originally tried to export at 1920x1080 but then changed my mind as I assumed the 1440x1080 would just stretch naturally. Does this sound right?
    2) FCPX is telling me that a few of my files are in 1080i. I'd like to encode them in 1080p as it tends to look better on computer screens. In FCPX, is it as simple as dragging my interlaced footage into a progressive timline and then exporting? I've heard about checking the "de-interlace" box under clip settings and then doubling the framerate but that seemed to make my video look worse.
    3) I've heard that it might be better practice to export my projects as master files and then encode h.264 in Compressor. Is there any truth to this? Might it be better for the interlaced to progressive conversion as well?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    1) yes. 1440 will display ax 1920.
    2) put everything in a 1080p project.
    3) Compressor will give you more options for control. The h264 from FCP is a very high data rate and makes large files.

  • What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

    Hi!
    I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
    I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
    I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
    I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
    then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
    I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
    Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
    Thanks so much.
    P.S: Sorry for my english!

    I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
    New Question:  I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
    If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results
