HOW DO I GET THE BEST QUALITY RESULT!?!!?

I have a canon GL2 and when I plug it in directly to the TV and watch my footage the quality is great, I then upload it to Final Cut and the quality is somewhat there, but when I go to export it I can never achieve the quality that it gets when I hook up the camera directly to the TV, and roll the tape. How do I export using compressor or not, to get the best quality, I dont care how big the file size I just need the quality!!! Thank you in advance for the help!

It depends on what format you want to output to.
If you just want the best quality, then output to 10-bit Uncompressed quicktime - the files will be huge though.
Do you need to output back to tape, DVD or something else?
Also, make sure that you have the right settings in your sequences, so you don't loose any quality there.

  • How can I get the best quality video on YouTube?

    I tried what you posted from another poster, Steve, but had a problem at step 2, the part in red.
    2. Import this AVI file into Windows MovieMaker, place the file on MovieMaker's timeline and Publish (to your hard drive) a 
    WMV, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
    When I click Publish, the only option I get is "YouTube" and "Get Add Ons".
    Since the option I was told to take didn't exist, I clicked "save movie" and then "high definition 1080p".  Hey I'm just trying to figure this stuff out.  I'm new to it, so I picked the highest quality I could find.
    Well, the result is a movie on YouTube that is OK, but nowhere near the quality of the movie on my computer. Just for fun, I uploaded the AVI file to YouTube from MovieMaker.  It was a huge file, it did upload, but the quality was still not there.
    So, I return to my original question, which is almost the same as the originally posted question:
    How should I save video with Premiere Elements to get the highest quality video to post to YouTube?  The videos were taken in AVCHD format, but after editing, I don't know the best rendering option to get the highest quality video when viewed on YouTube.  The videos look great on my computer, but on YouTube, the video is really degraded.
    Thanks for any help!
    I have an i7 processor, 8 gigs or RAM, and am running Windows 7 x64.  Video editing is with Premiere Elements and my video camera is a Canon HG10 that shoots AVCHD.

    I had the best success using the John Cloudman method from the link you posted.  The video was much better quality  on YouTube (in my opinion) with this method than the method of going to Movie Maker etc. I tried John Cloudman's Frame widtht of 1280 and Frame Height of 720 and then frame width 1920 frame width by 720.   I found 1920x1080 better quality on YouTube than Mr. Cloudman's 1280x720. 
    I pasted in the part of the link below that I found most useful. A big thanks to John Cloudman for posting this!!
    John Cloudman offers further advice:
    From the Share tab,  choose Personal Computer and then QuickTime.  Choose the Cable Modem,  DSL preset and then click the Advanced button.
    From the  settings window, do the following:
    b Video Tab
    *Video  Codec: H.264
    *Quality: 100
    *Frame Wdith: 1280
    *Frame Height:  720
    *Frame Rate: 29.97
    *Field Order: None
    *Pixel Aspect  Ratio: square
    *Set Bitrate: checked
    *Bitrate: 8000 kbps
    b  Audio Tab
    *Audio Code: AAC
    *Output Channels: Stereo
    *Frequency:  44kHz
    That should generate a .mov file that Youtube will  handle correctly.  You can modulate that Bitrate to reduce the amount of  data size, and  you can modulate the Quality number to reduce the  encoding time. I  wouldn't go lower than 3000 kbps for a bitrate or  below 50 on Quality.  Hope this helps everyone!

  • I import in HD and Export in HD 1280x720 and Use the IDVD burner How do I get the best quality? It seems to be a generation down on quality.

    Need help with getting best quality for DVD's.

    The best quality you can get is to first understand that the biggest frame you can play back using a DVD player is 720x480. So no matter how big the image is going into iDVD it is throwing away some information to get it all to fit 720x480. Your best option then is go to Share Menu > Media Browser... Then choose the Large size.
    Open iDVD and find your video project by clicking on the Media button in the iDVD lower right hand corner. Then above that there's the media browser window with the Movies button on the right hand side. Click Movies button and browse for your project under the iMovie star icon.
    Drag that project into a clip and burn the project to a DVD-R.

  • How do I get the best quality DVD rip?

    I need to rip some video from a DVD (my own work, no copyright issue) and everythign I try makes a noticably inferior quality video image.  I have used Handbrake and a few different commericial utilities.  I am looking to acheive a file size which is similar to the file on the DVD, which is about 1 GB.  I tried one utility which converted to Apple Pro Res .mov, but it made the file a massive 8 GB, but the image looked significantly worse!  Can't understand that.  I know the image is compressed on a DVD, but what is the best way to get it off and looking no less quality than it did on the DVD.  I eventually want to edit that file in Final Cut Pro X to make a showreel.
    Thanks

    That's wrong. You should use 720x480 anamorphic, which is what the original file should be if it was correctly made. I can't say what rip it is doing but that's the way it works.
    I don't see the option to use "anamorphic", so it comes out 4:3.  How do I fix that?
    In terms of Ripit's involvement in the process, I have also tried this using Streamclip, direct from a DVD and get the same results, so for all intents, Ripiit is not a factor here.  I only use it to get the encrypted DVD on to my drive (see earlier note about the material being my own work!).
    The distortion I see seems to coincide where interlace shows the most distortion too, so I'm figuring this may be related to de-interlacing, but I do need to de-interlace, so how do I get around that?  Here's the same image from the non-interlace output.  Otherwise, the Streamclip copy looks good, but stil need to deal with interlace.

  • How do I get the best animation results for an online streaming project?

    I made a short animated video from a template explaining who I am for my customers. I would like to put the video on Youtube or Vimeo so they know a bit more about me, but I am having trouble exporting it from Adobe After Effects. Everytime I export it, it is chopping and missing frames. The quality is good but it's not fluent. I've looked all over the internet for answers but I just can't seem to find one. If someone could help me but sending some screenshots, video's, or articles my way, that would be great.

    You need to read up on rendering. The best solution is to use the Adobe media encoder her and pick a YouTube or Vimeo preset that matches your composition settings.

    The third video talks about rendering.

  • IMovie 10.0.5, share as a file. Is mp4 the only option? How can I get the best quality, no matter the file size?

    Hi everyone, I made a project in iMovie 10.0.5 and I want to get the most out of it in terms of quality. When sharing I don't see any options. File is mp4. What can be done? Thank you in advance for your answer.

    iMovies design is designated to 'convenience' - as little as confusing 'options'  as possible.
    mp4 is just a wrapper, or media container, don't be confused with the antiqué mpeg4 codec - the mp4 iMovie creates, contain h.264 as codec.
    When you export a fullHD project, the bit-rate is ~20-25mbps - close to max., a camcorder creates (28mbps).
    For sure, pic quality depends on many more factors, not only export-settings.......

  • How do I get the best quality Quicktime movie

    Hi
    I have a wedding fair coming up and want to show some of my films on my laptop. I want to achieve the best possible qualiy I can but am not too worried about file size. I also want a large frame size, ideally 1024x576 or larger. Can anyone suggest the settings to use, I've tried converting using quicktime movie but can only manage to get a small frame size. Incidentally, my laptop is a PC so I wont be able use FCE.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Tom
    Im shooting in Mini DV PAL, do I just export as a quicktime movie and set it the same?

  • How do you get the best quality on Apple Tv using Imovie08?

    I have done some searching and still have some questions. I have been creating movies from my home movie DV (digital8) tapes. when I am done I export using the highest setting. I am thinking that most D8 cameras are 480i or P. When exported higher does the computer upscale this? Should I export in 640x480 and let the tv do the upscaling or does the DV have enough lines to do the higher setting. There is a lot of discussion about 06 but since I started with 08 I find it difficult to navigate and after several posts it seems that the quality is no different. I do have quicktime pro so if it is better to export from Imovie to quicktime then to apple tv into Itunes please advise.
    Thanks

    My Question is on QTP what should the data rate be for DV.
    It depends on which variant you are using. The DV Stream options for DV and DVCPRO (also known as DV25 and DVCPRO25) are typically between 28.5 and 29.0 Mbps for the video track and the same for the audio track while DVCPRO50 has twice that data rate for both audio and video tracks. The QT DV and DVCPRO video codecs used by the "Movie to QT Movie" option are typically about 23 Mbps with DVCPRO50 coming in at about 46.0 Mbps. As to the audio data rate component, it all depends on which audio codec you use. Most people probably opt for the Linear PCM 16-bit 48 KHz combination which is usually on the order of about 800 Kbps.
    Original Data rates for some full QT conversions are over 20k This is as you know not supported by ATV.
    Correct. And, since iMovie '08 converts from whatever compression format that was originally imported to the application, doesn't it make more sense to export DIRECTLY to the final compression format you plan to use with your TV device? You can export directly/indirectly to iTunes (i.e., via the "Movies > Sharing" folder) using the sharing option or you can export via the "Using QT" option to either the contextual (CAVLC) Progressive Main Profile preset or using your own custom settings.
    If one of you would be so kind as to list the largest file that can be played in ATV using quicktime in the form of input that would be great.
    The maximum H.264 display dimensions at 24/25 fps is 720p (1280x720) and at 30 fps 540p (960x540) and a max video data rate of 5 Mbps with AAC-LC audio limited to 160 Kbps and a 48.0 KHz sampling rate in M4v, MP4, or MOV file containers. The maximum MPEG-4 Simple Profile dimensions of 720x432 at 30 fps at a max data rate of 3 Mbps with AAC-LC audio limited to 160 Kbps and a 48.0 KHz sampling rate.
    Since I am still uneducated about the relations to all these numbers and see different sizes that play ok in ATV I need some advice. I have even exported from quicktime and let Itunes compress to ATV. The file was bigger than what was sent from Imovie, the data rate was more, but per second was the same.
    Pre-sets and user settings "target" a data rate but content variables such as lighting, contrast, color saturated, amount of action and its motion vectors, frequency of scene changes/key framing, etc. all affect an end product. Further, when dealing with multi-pass encoding, the data rate excursion (i.e., variation above and below the targeted video data rate) may also come into play. For instance, an iPod file target with a video data rate of 1500 Kbps in extreme cases may have an instantaneous data rate between 600 Kbps and 3750 Kbps using the "Download" setting and can prevent iTunes synchronization. Haven't looked that deeply into TV since I use a custom iPod setting for day-to-day use of a a single file for iPhone, iPod, TV, as well as, web site, server, peer-to-peer, QTL, and reference file sharing of media. (I.e., I use my original DVDs when I want "full" audio and video quality.)

  • How can I get the best out of my battery life?

    There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
    Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
    Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
    Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
    Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

    You can create an array of clusters with one element being the time and the other being the voltage, like so (using the "Get Waveform Components" function):

  • To get the best Quality for YouTube?

    Hi there.
    I have a question.
    Which settings do I have to have in the media encoder in pro cs3, to get the best quality in a YouTube video?

    I found this discussion from almost a year ago:
    Drogba, "My YouTube video looks blurry using Adobe Media Encoder" #, 20 Oct 2007 10:32 am
    ...but the suggestions discussed there didn't help me, so I'm hoping someone reading this thread has other ideas. YouTube's PixelDestroyer® and VideoFracker® technology does an effective job of making my good footage look like it was shot through a thin film of mashed potatoes.
    The H.264 codec seems to have ruination as its primary purpose. And the iPod and flv settings aren't much better. Heck, even if I export to mpeg (either keeping the native 720 x 480 resolution or shrinking to 320 x 240) my produced mpegs look great -- but once YouTube gets hold of them, they look like
    dreck.
    Sure, Vimeo or WhateverOtherTube service may have better quality, but when someone wants to search for a video, there's only one site that anyone thinks of going to. That's why Google bought them.

  • How do you get the best Range?

    How do you get the best range on the Extreme? I am very unfamiliar with the settings and what they mean.

    The default settings on the AirPort Extreme are set for maximum radio power so it will produce the best range without further adjustments.
    The actual range of the device will depend on the number of obstructions in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme and the other device that is connecting to it.

  • How do i get the best DVD Quality?

    HI,
    I'm having trouble like many people, to be able to get the best qualiy looking DVD. How do i get my motion menus looking sharp and the colours to say vibrant and not saturate? The quailty reduces compared to the quality i viewed it in the DVD Pro 4 Simulator. Why is this?? What is the best settings to set up a SD DVD? I used: 7 bit-8 bit max, with Two Pass VBR and best motion. How else can i get my meus to look better? Do i change the menu render setting to software rather than hardware, does this make a difference??
    Can anyone suggest the best possible settings for a SD DVD Burn?
    Help would be extremly apreciated!
    Cheers,

    Hi again,
    I filmed a timelaspse for the motion background, filmed on a Canon xl1s, mini dv, and then after capturing and editing, i export using quicktime movie, with settings of the compressor set to none and 100%. I can't export using compressor, due to it not being able to connect to the background process. So that is my reason for quicktime movie export. After export i check in quictime player, and it looks fine and obviously the best i can get until i fix the background progress thing.
    I understand it will degrade, just not by so much from when i view it in simulator to just an unpleasing unproffesional look.
    If i export my audio in quicktime to ac3 what will that to do change my image quality?? And what do you mean by using good quality blanks??
    Thanks for replying David

  • How do I get the best resolution images?

    Can anyone explain to me how to get the best resolution of images and text in DSP. Down sizing to 720x576 at 72ppi in photoshop makes for better quality when using layered menus but my standard menus are poor quality. Why does a smaller image look lower res than a big one? I'd have expected the opposite.

    stupid problem. I don't know why Adobe dosent fix it.
