Is it normal for Compressor and FCP to analyse an imported progressive H.264 movie as interlaced?file

I am worried my programs are corrupt, because FCP tells me my progressive H.264 file is interlaced (upper first) and Compressor analyses the same movie as bottom first. It should be progressive! Why are they not telling me it's progressive, and why both different to each other? Is it because theyn can't analyse a H.264 file correctly?! Please someone tell me what's going on!
Thanks, Syd

Hi Shane, thanks for replying.
The reason I imported the H.264 movie into FCP was to add a short logo clip to the end of it, which was requested after I had exported a self-contained movie from my timeline and already started converting in Compressor... it took 60 hours to deinterlace (set to Best) and convert to H.264 all in one Batch (using only a single target...I did everything in one target, rather than chaining). I know you can't edit in H.264, but I thought adding something to the end and then re-exporting to H.264 might work...
anyway, that's why I imported it, and then noticed that FCP analysed it as being still interlaced... So it occurred to me to check the movie Compressor had exported by importing it back into Compressor to look at what the A/V attributes tab of the inspector said... and it said there it was progressive. So now I was worried my programs were disagreeing, so I went back to square one, converted my original footage to Pro Res in Compressor, then ran that Pro Res footage through Compressor to de-interlace, then reconnected media in my FCP timeline, so that all the clips in the timeline were now progressive. Then I exported that as a self-contained movie and imported into Compressor to convert to H.264. Finally, knowing no other way to analyse the footage, and also wanting to see what FCP would make of it, I imported the movie into FCP, and found the result I put in the first post of this thread... so tried analysing in Compressor again, and found that Compressor thinks it is as I wrote in the first post above.
So now Compressor tells me the file it previously converted to progressive isn't progressive, and thinks it has a different dominant field to the one FCP thinks it has, even though the first time I ran this movie through Compressor it analysed its own result as progressive... so I feel these incompatible analyses are possibly a symptom of something wrong?
How can I analyse a H.264 file if neither FCP or Compressor can do it?

  • I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

    help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

    That is your answer then.
    Large is 960x540
    Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
    Mobile is probably 480x272.
    It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
    As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

    Regrds

    I'm not familiar with either your camera or iMovie 8 but you have a very recent camera and a very old version of iMovie so i'm not too surprinsed that there are incompatiibility problems.  
    What format are the video files from your camera?  (If its AVCHD I'm not sure this wasn't even invented when iMovie 8 came out.)
    Are you are trying to import directly from the camera into iMovie?
    You may have to copy the directory from your camera to your hard disk with the finder and then convert the clips into a format accepted by iMovie 8.
    What Mac do you have?
    If you can I would advise updating to iMovie 9 - this requires iLife '11 and Snow Leopard or later (and for AVCHD a Core2Duo processor or later)

  • Motion. Compressor and FCP

    Really pleased that FCP now supports 720/50p but the ProApps 2007/02 update has broken Motion, FCP and Comprossor. In Motion I can't open the Library or File Explorer. In FCP the Motion Master Templates won't let me drop clips into the drop zones, which is exactaly what I've been doing in my present project. I've tried reinstalling and, if I don't upgrade Motion it works, but if I upgrade FCP to 6.0.2 the Motion templates don't work. Compressor just doesn't open.
    HELP! I'm in the middle of an edit and northing's working. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    Sort of – by exporting and reimporting as clips. There is no round-tripping. For example, you can't send a clip as a Motion project to Motion4, save and have the clip update in FCP. You'd have to export a clip (or sequence) as a self-contained movie and bring it into Motion (or Compressor), make your changes, exporty and reimport as a clip, see how you liked the result, etc. Much easiier to stay within FCS.

  • Compressor and FCP X Proxy Transcodes

    Hi,
    Simple question for someone that knows.
    Can i distribute the transcoding of proxies and optimised media from FCP X onto other Macs using compressor?
    I believe i can distribute actual encoding jobs, but wondering about the background encoding does in FCP X as well
    many thanks
    Paul

    I would think so.  I did it all manually myself.  Made a folder  in Applications and moved all the FCPS apps to it.  Then installed FCPX. 
    The only issue I ran into was having 2 copies of Compressor the new one and the old one once I uninstalled the old compressor and re-installed the new one I was good to go.

  • Display 128MB v. 256 memory - which is better for CS2 and FCP

    Hi, there was a similar post to this a while back that did not adequately answer the question that I now have. I am deciding between the base model and mid-level 15 inch MacBook Pro:
    1) What does the 128MB v. 256 MB video memory directly affect?
    Is this important mostly for gamers? Video editors? Downloading graphics intense web sites?
    I work on Photoshop, Capture One (for on-set digital photo catpure), Flash, and Final Cut Pro. How much will I notice the difference between the 128MB and 256MB memory in these applications?
    Is it worth the extra money between the 2GHz and the 2.16 GHz MacBook Pro?
    Thanks.

    Currently, 128MB is more than enough for Photoshop and/or FCP. For each of these apps, the video card merely draws the image on the screen. Aperture and Motion on the other hand, make heavy use of the graphics card and the more MB the better. While you may not use Aperture or Motion, keep in mind that future releases of different software may make more use of the graphics card. As far as 2.0 vs 2.16, I can't possible imagine how anyone would ever be able to tell a difference in day-to-day productivity. I have both a D1.8 and a D2.7 and the D2.7 is quite a bit faster at rendering, compressing, batch processing and so on; but editing a project or working on images within Photoshop, I couldn't tell you which is faster.

  • Drobo for Motion and FCP projects

    Does anyone have any experience with the Drobo system? I am thinking about purchasing one for my ever increasing size of projects that eat up so much space on my hard drives. I have 3 separate external drives and thought this would be a good way to combine a couple together. I want to know if this is fast enough to use for editing or is it primarily used for back-ups? Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Works great for me. If I had a nice Mac Pro I would absolutely use the internal drive bays for my video content, but would also have a Drobo to serve as a RAID.
    As for you and me with our iMacs, the Drobo on FW800 is as fast as my internal drive. I don't see any lag time. I have 4 x 1TB Seagate drives in my Drobo. With about 1.8 TB of raw video. Not a ton, but it sure was nice to bust open all my external drives and slide them in the Drobo! I recommend keeping at least one external drive dedicated to Time Machine. And by the way, I can be editing video on my Mac and rip out one of my 1 TB drives in the Drobo with out a single skipped frame... Dude... that's cool.

  • Does the "Anamorphicizer" work for FCE and FCP?

    I have:
    Final Cut Express HD 3.0
    iDVD 6.0.2
    Just downloaded the anamorphicizer from this link
    http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html
    to help my project maintain it's 16:9 aspect ratio in iDVD.
    Before I spend $30.00 for quicktime pro (so that I can start using the anamorphicizer with it) can someone tell me if the anamorphicizer works for Final Cut Express?
    If you go to the page above it says, "Export your video from FCP like you normally would for going to iDVD," and does not mention FCE.
    Or, is there another website to download a "anamorphicizer" version that works for FCE?
    Thanks!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Final Cut Express

    I've had kind of iffy results with Anamorphicizer, but I suspect that's because I don't know what I'm doing (or am trying to convert funky file formats). But when I drop a file on top of Anamorphicizer, it automatically opens up QT Pro and instructs me to save the converted file. I think you might have to get QT Pro in order to use it—I'm not sure, but don't think that the regular (free) version of QT has the "save as" capabilities of QT Pro. (Could be wrong, though. . . )
    Anyway, sure, if you save a file after it's been converted by Anamorphicizer, it should be able to be opened in FCE. (I save my files as a "Hinted" Quicktime movie.

  • Is it normal for compressor to jump dramatically in time remaining at 50%

    I have been trying to export a H.264 HD format (90 minute std setting)
    It processes pretty smoothly for approx. a hour with one hour remaining.
    At approx. one hour in it jumps to 5 1/2 hours at 55% complete and just sits at 55% complete.
    Seems frozen, but not sure.
    Is this "normal"

    Hey W Scott
    this most definitely sounds like your problem.
    and you have HD material. yup, actually sounds normal to me.
    i have compressed 1080p material on my "super machine" and it took me about 40 hours!
    you are using FW and USB, very unreliable and very slow, regardless of what anyone says (do a benhcmark test and look the write spped if you guys dont believe me).
    hang in there or if you have the option to invest in a new hard drive, do it. the bigger the better of course.

  • 0015 info type BDC upload program work normal for one and slow for other?

    Hi... Experts
    We have created custom BDC tp update infotype 0015 for our employees. It use to work normal initial. recently , We observed for the HR Team who use to upload this is working / update happening very slow. To isolate this , we have given that BDC authorization to another user, for that user it works fine,
    For Example
    For HR User (HRUSER1) currently file contains 130 records will take 1200 seconds
    For New user (HRNEWUSER1) same will will take only 45 seconds to complete.
    What could be the reason??
    Authroizations are same even we tried SAP_ALL for user who is getting problem,
    Any HR specific parameters variants got stored / freezed and many be leading to this issue.
    please do let us know if any ides u have to fix it.
    Rgds

    Amosha...Good Day
    Thanks for your reply. If i am not wrong it is all belongs to seetings to specific host.
    As advised we found the size is same in GUI Alt+F12 --> Options -> Local Data Settings.; But i was unlucky the problem continues.
    The same set users let them login from any host the behaviour same .
    I believe it is some thing / HR Selection option got saved ??//some thing saved out and it is checking continuiously some thing..
    Similar Problem we had for some other like PA20 was normal to one with the same authroizations i had anotheer user and when he executes PA20 it is slow and was soved like below.
    PA20 - Transactions have very long runtimes
    just giving hint / any thing else we need to check in HR Master
    Thanks
