1280 X 720 29.97 FPS Setup

Greeting,
I'm starting up Premier Pro CS6 and I get this huge selection of formats I could setup for everything but what I "think" I need.
What I Need
Final output will be to YouTube but I want to set the file up for full res and then render from that. I've been told to set up a file at 1280 X 720 @ 29.97fps and I should be able to get what ever I need from that but I don't see it as a preset in the first window that opens in Premier. I see things that are close but there doesn't appear to be a way to edit them and save.

Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Actually, I don't have any source footage yet. Most of it will be still photos with some video from a stock house of which I will look for something that is at the size I'm after. So I guess that means my editing sequence will need to be 1280 X 720 @ 29.97fps. I suppose if the stock footage is only available at 30fps when I import it my project will ask if I want to adjust to the import settings. Do I just ignore the New Seqence preset window. Sorry I'm a neophyte at PR.
Saving Preset
You mention I can export this setup. I'm assuming there is an export preset dialog somewhere that will ask me what to call it? yes? Or will it give me options like "YT .264"?
Also, what does the YT stand for? I've seen the .264.

Using 1280 x 720 HD video in a NTSC DV FCP project

Ok - My company is putting together a marching band DVD for a school. The footage has been shot by different volunteer parents with different recording formats on their cameras. Our job is to combine the footage into a multicamera shoot and put the whole finished product on a SD DVD.
A Majority of the footage we received is in standard def: 720 x 480. 29.97 DV NTSC
However, the wideshot footage is in the following HD format: 1280 x 720. 30 FPS H.264. It is a .mov file
So...
We created a sequence to match the SD format, rendered the wideshot footage to match that sequence and edited everything together.
We then exported using compressor with the traditional SD setting and burned the disc via DVD studio pro.
When we watch the footage on any TV (SD or HD), everything looks fine except for the wideshots (HD footage). There is a "trippy" or "robotic" look to any movement that occurs in these shots.
What have we done wrong? Is it related to the 30fps vs 29.97 FPS? I thought FCPs rendering automatically converts / fixes this.
What can be done to fix this problem?

The DV was interlaced, the HD is prgressive. That's one issue. You didn't see the motion artifacts on your computer because that's a progressiuve display. The MPEG2 DVD is interlaced.
Solving it? Hmm, I'll let some others try to make useful suggestions. Gotta go back to work myself.

H.264, 1280 × 720, 59.94 fps to FCE

I want to bring a file with these characteristics into FCE for editing:
*Video Tracks:*
*H.264, 1280 × 720, 59.94 fps, 6.22 Mbps*
*Audio Tracks:*
*MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 128 kbps*
I read many posts and I understand I must convert it to a format FCE can deal with. I used Streamclip to convert it to a file with these characteristics:
*Video Tracks:*
*Apple Intermediate Codec, 1280 × 720, 59.94 fps, 99.38 Mbps*
*Audio Tracks:*
*16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps*
Now, the question becomes what preset to use in FCE to work with that file.
There is no obvious "Apple Intermediate Codec, 1280 × 720, 59.94 fps" preset in Easy Setup. So, I picked:
*HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30*
And, for some reason, this seems to work fine. How is that right? Can this 720p30 preset actually handle 59.94 fps materials?
As a side note, if I transcode the original file to a file with these characteristics:
*Video Tracks:*
*Apple Intermediate Codec, 1280 × 720, 29.97 fps, 99.38 Mbps*
*Audio Tracks:*
*16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps*
And import that in FCE, the video then appears to play in slow motion in FCE. (and audio sync is lost too)
It must be a stupid question, but I find this confusing a little.

The QuickTime movie inspector says the same thing Streamclip does. (see previous post)
I just did a new transcoding of the original clip using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The characteristics of the output file are:
*Video Tracks:*
*Apple Intermediate Codec, 1280 × 720, 29.97 fps, 49.86 Mbps*
*Audio Tracks:*
*16-bit Little Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps*
I imported this file in FCE and that works fine.
I am starting the believe FCE behaves differently at different times of the day.
So, I am going to transcode again using:
1) Streamclip (whose interface is confusing, since it's hard to tell if the settings on the main window override the settings you set via the "Options..." button near the selected codec)
2) QuickTime 7 Pro
3) Adobe Media Encoder CS5
Those 3 tools expose codec options in slightly different ways, which certainly adds to the confusion.
As far as Apple Intermediate Codec is concerned, under QuickTime Pro, for "Compressor", I can pick HDV 720p, HDV 1080i, HDV 1080p or Other. "Other" is selected by default so I left it to that, even though "HDV 720p" looks more like the FCE "Easy Setup..." preset.

1280 x 720 | 30 fps versus 320 x 240 | 30 fps

Why does the info for some of my video say 1280 x 720 | 30 fps and others say 320 x 240 | 30 fps and they were taken with the same HD camera on the same day. Did I accidently change a setting on the camera?

Seems so.. For safety reasons, try to open them in Quicktime Player and show the Info window..
Or, you could also click it in Finder in coloumn view and the preview will tell dimensions too..

New 27" iMac won't display above 1280 x 720

I just got my new 27" iMac but the max display size is 1280 x 720.
I went for the higher-end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M. On first startup the screen is full of static and then is drops into the 1280 x 720. I tried zapping the PRAM but the same static problem happens.
I'm trying to get in touch with support but the support page is giving me error messages.

I restarted my system this morning, and the correct display rersolution is currently working. No update was installed this morning. I had the system up and running overnight setting up iTunes Match. Can't explain it, but we are fully up and running now. I am going to do some more testing with it and send an email to my support rep with this screen shot. WOOT. Display finally looks as amazing as I was promised. Also did a Graphics Benchmark last night, and got results:
FPS:
100.8
Score:
2539
Min FPS:
45.3
Max FPS:
198.2
Which blew my 2 windows desktop machines with NVIDIA Desktop Graphics cards out of the water. Now I can play with photos!

Mac mini Core Duo in 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz on Mitsubishi WD-52525

So I picked up a Mac mini Core Duo last night (my first Mac by the way, and so far I'm very excited about it) with the intention of using it as a home theater computer (HTPC). I intend to use my Mitsubishi WD-52525 DLP as the display device, and, for now, using RCA inputs on my Pioneer VSX-07TX for sound.
This thread is for the video problem. I cannot seem to get the Mac mini to display a proper 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal on my display. I'm using the included DVI-VGA adapter and the WD-52525's VGA input (named "PC") which is supposed to be capable of receving a 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal.
When I did this through DisplayConfigX I got a beautiful picture that was horribly overscanned. Trying to tinker with the DisplayConfigX settings yeilded less than stellar results, and it seems as if some of the options to fix back porch (bottom overscan) are "buggy" according to the software developer.
So, my question is, how can I get the Mac mini to output a 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal that will fill the available screen on the WD-52525?
Guidance appreciated.

I too took the plunge and recently purchased a Mac Mini Core Duo. I have it hooked up to my Mitsuhishi WD-52825 (the one with the built-in DVR). The mini is hooked up through the HDMI connection on the 825 using a HDMI/DVI converter. Thus far, I have had success at least viewing the desktop on the TV, but I either have overscan or less than a full screen picture when "overscan" is unchecked in the options tab of the display panel.
I have also tried Displayconfigx, which terrible results. Everytime I change the resolution, and then reboot, my screen is filled with skewed images, which I have to change from my iMac using a VNC client/server setup.
Hopefully I'll eventually find the correct setting for the Mac Mini because there doesn't seem to be much I can do on the Mitsubishi end using a DVI-HDMI connection. Any suggestions?

From Keynote to YouTube 1280 x 720 HD

Hello,
I'm struggling to directly export from Keynote to YouTube on HD definition, namely 1280 x 720 my presentation...
The Keynote menu seems to only offer 640 x 360 or 480 x 272
Any method, is it possible or just blocked by Apple ?
Thank you in advance, Albert

I've tried this before but it does not work unfortunately.
What I mean here, for some reason Keynote will create some time sync anomaly between audio and video, then when uploading to YouTube, it will reject the file or make awful result.
So far, the only working method I've foudn to export from Keynote to YouTube is to use SEND sub-menu in Keynote. It works fine except I can NOT send 1280x720, it just restricts to 640 x 360 or 480 x 272

Editing Panasonic GH1 1280 x 720 60 frame video

I got an old Macbook with previous ver of iMovie which does not support editing AVCHD. I know that iMovie 09 is able to handle AVCHD and support video from Panasonic GH1, so I am planning to a get a new mac with new OS and iMovie 09. Would anyone please share your experience in using iMovie 09 with GH1? I shot the footage in 1280 x 720 60 frames per second in AVCHD format. I understand that iMovie will convert it to Apple properitary video format for editing, my questions are:
1. is the response time acceptable? I believe it is quite hardware demanding for 720p video editing. What is the time rquired for say, a C2D iMac 2.xxGHz 4GB Ram for cutting or addition of transition effect? Do you have to wait for say 30 sec to add a 4 sec transition effect between two footages?
2. what is the output format of the edited video, can it be re-coded to AVCHD so that I may burn it on a DL DVD for paying on a PS3 or blu-ray player?

I got the camera and used in my trip to London last month. Very unlucky that there is no Apple Store where I live in HK, there is only reseller. I will try to test it with my friend new Macbook Pro 13".
If iMovie only import the video at 30 frames, it would not be a solution for GH1 users as the camera shoot at 60 frames which produce very smooth video which I watch the un-edited video on a PS3.
I was quite frustrated with the proper software for editing the AVCHD video. I thought many camera/video camera users shooting so-called hd video would face the same problem.

HD 1280 x 720 , Skips Frames with Quicktime 7.*

Quicktime skips frames when I'm trying to play a video I created with my Digital camera.(Kodak Z1275) Its not the camera because it plays flawlessly on screen. I upload the file to the computer and Quicktime skips a few seconds throughout the entire file.When I uploaded the HD 1280 x 720 file to Youtube it plays flawlessly.
So the conclusion is its not my computer since the file plays perfect with Youtubes encoder.(I even brought the file to the store I purchased the camera from, the same problem) The Problem is with Quick time player!
Also when I select 1/2 speed playback speed in the Quick time player it is very smooth!Conclusion Player encoder does not like 1280 mode?
I have the latest version and even went to the trouble of purchasing Quick time Pro 7 (that I regret)
Any help from the apple gang?

The only conclusion is Quicktime is not able to process the larger 1280 x 720 format. Only the MAC boys can help! You have to get enough people complaining or find another player encoder that will work with the .mov file.
Kodak, the makers of the camera blame it on Quicktime's obsolete program. Not enough users to make it worth changing or maybe its in the works now.
Seems like Kodak got ahead of Quicktime's ****** player

Screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720

Hello.
I just got my new iMac 27 3.2 Mhz
The screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720.
I reinitialized the PR Ram without success.
No other option is displayed in the preferences. someone has already this problem ?

Before taking the Mac to an Apple Store, you could call AppleCare who may be able to offer a solution, or organise an exchange of machine, that would hopefully save you the trouble of carting it around.

Can I paste a 1280 x 720 slide into a 1680 x 1050 presentation?

I'd like to be able to paste samples of various shows in various resolutions into a single presentation without hyperlinks. I'm presenting on my 17", so I'd like to use the full-screen resolution, 1680 x 1050. I'd like to paste a 1280 x 720 show into it, but Keynote automatically resizes every frame, and everything scales inaccurately do to the difference in aspect ratios. I don't want to have to rebuild every slide. I know I can copy the contents of each slide and paste it onto a blank slide in the final presentation, and the animations copy over, but the transitions get lost. Is there a way to either import the file or copy the complete slide show from the navigator and maintain the integrity of the original?

Thanks -
I hadn't thought of 1680 x 945, I'll try that next go-round.
In the meantime, I created a special frame inside my target presentation, and just copied and pasted the elements I wanted from the smaller slides into the frame in a slide-by-slide process. It actually worked perfectly, and allowed me to highlight the samples in a worthwhile way.
But thanks for the hint! It'll come in handy soon.

.. the video i shot is in 1280 x 720
.. and my questions were:
• how did you import, Full or Large?
• did you optimize the clips..?
or, let's try the other way round:
• in your Project, ctrl-click a clip
• choose 'Reveal in Finder'
• Apple-i that file..
• what resolution do you read under 'additional info'?

Running Final Cut Pro on 1280 X 720, 60 Hz, Millions

I just updated to Final Cut Pro Suite 2 but Final Cut Pro, Compressor, & DVD Studio Pro wont open with my display selected to 1280 X 720, 60 Hz, Millions. It demands that I have it set to 1024 X 768, 75 Hz, Millions, which looks like trash.
Anyone tips?

Final Cut won't run if the display is fewer than 1024 pixels wide, or 768 pixels tall. Either one will trigger the minimum-size error message.
What the **** kind of display do you have that won't draw at least 768 lines?

Editing 2 file types in 1 Sequence (1080i60 & 1280 x 720 Flip)

I began a Sequence that is 1440 x 1080, Upper Field, 29.97, Compressor HDV 1080i60, Audio 48 KHz, 16-bit and that is working fine. But, I then added new footage from a Flip camera (1280 x 720, Square Pixel Aspect Ratio, No field dominance, Editing Timebase 30, Compressor: H.264, and same audio settings as original sequence.) This footage plays fine in the viewer but as soon as I place it into the Timeline the audio and video are wildly out of synch. I did set my Prefs to ask when conforming, but it does not ask. I try to manually do so, and it renders, but does not seem to actually change the file format. I adjust the percentage in the Canvas (because sometimes this causes funky playback), and that seems to work once or twice, but not consistently. I tried exporting the Flip Footage with the same exact settings as the Sequence and then re-importing and it's the same problem. I tried a new sequence with the new Flip Footage and that too is inconsistent. I feel as though I have tried everything I know to do-- but can't get a handle on what exactly is wrong, nor how to fix it. Thanks in advance for any sage advice!

I got the camera and used in my trip to London last month. Very unlucky that there is no Apple Store where I live in HK, there is only reseller. I will try to test it with my friend new Macbook Pro 13".

Can you make files at 1280 X 720?

1.) Is it possible to make a file in Flash at 1280 X 720 and so I can import it into Final Cut Pro and edit it together with other video shot at 720?
2.) Are there issues with doing this?
Thanks!

Just want to make sure that there are no issues with doing something like this because Flash was originally designed to do web stuff and not video like this, as far as I understand it at least. It will be a piece about 15 seconds.
Thanks.
