16:9 HD 1080p to 16:9 FHA SD for Clearcast

Hello,
I am trying to get a roughcut uploaded to Clearcast for clearance.
I can't seem to get it past their ingest servers.
All the need is the above settings - 16:9 FHA SD (mp4/ 5mbps etc)
I can't find anywhere in the AME where i can make this work???
Has anyone made this work?
Im fairly new to making TV ads and I thought premiere pro would have a pretty good grip on the standards for exporting (to help....)
Anyone who has any idea of how to export a roughcut from my 1080p timeline would be great.
Many thanks
scott

Based on the Clearcast PDF, where I read this:
I figured they really want 720X576 and you can use H.264 at 5Mb/s.
The trick seems to me to be that you can't set the PAR, you can only set the size of the actual export and the screen ratio, which therefore makes the PAR what you want it to be. You can see the 1.7778 in the Output settings, but I never set it to that. I just set the width and height, and the aspect ratio of the frame to 16:9.
That results in a file that looks like this:
And when I create a sequence from it, the video is 16:9 - edge to edge OK - as you can see.

Exporting 1080p fcp movie to 720p itune (for ipad)

Compressor so slow to export movie 1080p to itunes... I found it 10 times faster to simply export my 1080 prores422, then import it in imovie and send the video to itune via imvoie. I use a mac pro 6core 3,33 ghz with 24 gb RAM... Is it normal compressor so slow? Is there something I am doing wrong?

Take a look at this.

This will speed up compressor considerably.

Combining 1080i and 1080p HDV footage on single timeline, for SD output?

Hi All
Help! I'm a cameraperson/director who was has just shot a largeish doccie project on a Sony HVR-V1E. My technical background is in stills, so I hope you'll forgive some ignorance here.
BACKGROUND: The vast majority of the footage was shot HDV using the 25fps prog scan mode on the camera. I really don't like interlace jaggies and I was advised that this was the obvious way of getting away from them, and made for very useable footage when output as standard def interlaced PAL. However, some footage for the project was also shot on a small Sony HDR-HC9 (PAL) camera. The HC9 has no progressive scan mode, i.e. this footage is 1080i50.
The primary broadcaster for this doccie requires delivery on Beta SP, standard def PAL. Because of the 16:9 aspect ratio of the HDV format, the film will be delivered letterboxed, black above and below.
THE MAIN QUESTION: We'll be editing in FCP 6.0 . My editor is more of an Avid person, and is concerned that without proper setup we'l end up with issues later on when we downsize to SD, especially because we'll be combining prog-scanned footage with interlace-scanned footage. We need to know whether to set the sequence presets as HDV 1080i50 or HDV 1080p25.
We're planning to edit as an HDV project and downscale to SD using Compressor. I know this downscaling is likely to take a long time, however we've been advised that editing in HDV is less intensive than going the ProRes route, and the quality of the Compressor downscale is better than that of the other 'within FCP' options.
I've been advised to set the sequence preset to i50, but I'm not sure if Compressor has a harder time resizing interlaced footage than progressive footage. Common sense tell me it'll be easier to resize a progressive frame and then split it into two interlaced fields without artifacts, than resizing and regenerating interlaced fields from 1080 down to PAL dimensions. However, if the sequence preset is p25, will FCP deal with the bits of i50 footage in the project OK?
Also, I've been told but cannot confirm that the Sony HVR-V1E camera scans progressively in 25fps prog scan mode, but encodes each progressively-scanned image as two interlaced fields on the tape, i.e. as 1080i50 images. Is this true? If so, it would surely mean that the sequence preset should be 1080i50 with progressive-scanned imagery emanating from this model of camera.
I hope this makes sense!
Regards
Adam Welz, Cape Town

Hi,
FCP is open format timeline based, so it will transcode the footage according to the first clip on the timeline. so it will not be a problem for two different formats. i've used DVCAM, HDV formats together it has done for me nicely.
but check the result before proceding further ahed in edit in both preset format.
and using Compressor is not a good idea for broadcast I believe, it is ok if there is no other option is with you. It is better to do it with the hardware rather than software.
I use realtime Blackmagic hardware for down converting HD to SD with letterbox directly to tape.

24" iMac (Late 2006) Cannot Display 1080p on External HDTV

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to connect my Samsung LN40A550 40" TV (http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=televisions&type=telev isions&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LN40A550P3FXZA) to my Late 2006 24" iMac at 1080p resolution. Currently, I'm using Extended Desktop mode with my iMac running 1920x1200 but the Display settings only lets me change the resolution on the TV to a maximum of 1080i. I've connected the TV to my iMac with a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and then a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
Here are my iMac's tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
Here is a KB article about the iMac's external display port: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?viewlocale=en_US
Neither of these articles has said explicitly whether or not it is possible for me to output 1080p to my TV from my iMac. Do I need to use different cabling? I've tried reducing the resolution of the iMac to see if it was a video card restriction, but I still could not increase the TV's resolution.
I did notice that the newer iMac's specs say that they can output at 1080p: http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
Perhaps my iMac just doesn't support external resolutions that high? So I looked up the video card (NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT - http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7300.html) and it does not appear to say whether or not it can handle two displays at 1920x1200. Under the "Advanced Display Functionality" heading it says:
* Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for analog display resolutions up to and including 2048x1536 at 85Hz
* Dual-link DVI capability to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution digital flat panel displays up to 2560x16001
* Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i resolution
Any help figuring out how to connect my TV to my iMac at 1080p would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
-Aaron

hey there cooperaa & welcome to Discussions.
i didn't see anything in the fullspecs that said your TV does 1080p, just that it does 1920x1080. also, since 1080p was a fairly new "standard" for video(Blu-ray/HD-DVD) when your Mac was built, a 1920x1080 progressive output was possibly not included. i have an early 2006 17" iMac connected to my 42" HDTV over DVI>HDMI & i can get 1920x1080i, which is the highest rez my TV will accept & i use this iMac as my DVD player(along w/ an optical cable for audio) & have not noticed anything "ugly" w/ the picture as i have de-interlace selected on the DVD player(a standard DVD is 720x480). since Apple doesn't include a Blu-ray player/recorder in any of their machines what will you watch that will be in 1080p? generally if your TV does the higher rez, it will scale the rez to fit your settings--ie. a 1920x1080i broadcast on a 1280x720p TV will scale down to the TV's native rez as well a 1280x720p broadcast will be scaled up to 1920x1080i if that's the native rez.
good luck.

Is there a reason a Samsung 37" 1080p would look less crisp than a Samsung 32" 720p?

I purchased the 32" but thought it was a bit too small for the room. We sit about 6 - 8 feet away from the screen. Bought the same brand in 37" today and was disappointed to see that we notice less clarity ... not as much "HD effect" somehow in the new t.v..
Is it related to the screen size being slighty larger, or the 1080 vs 720?
I like the bigger screen size but not at the cost of clarity.
Thanks for any ideas!
Solved!

Well sorry to hear the tv was damaged, but very glad to hear they took care of you on it. I would not have guessed a damaged tv actually. Sort of why its hard to diagnose tv problems without actually seeing the display.
It is possible for a smaller lower resolution tv to look better though. This a pretty common complaint among new tv buyers. The larger 1080P tv will look better when sitting at the correct distance and feeding it the proper signal. Unfortunately the only real 1080P signals at the moment are blu ray dvd's. So everything else it has to upconvert to 1080P. The more it has to upscale and convert the worse the picture can look. Especially if you lots of the "auto" setting turned on. So if you looking a basic cable channel on two different tvs, one being a 32 inch 720P and the other being a 37 inch 1080P tv there is a good chance the smaller tv will look better at the same viewing distance. For starters smaller screens always look more crisp because the pixels are smaller. But also since the smaller tv has less resolution it doesn't have to upscale the image as much either.
Its sort of like digital pictures on your comptuer, if you take two pictures, one being a 1.5 megapixel and another being a 5 megapixel and blow the 1.5 one up to the size of the 5.0 one it will look like garbage. Using some sampling and filters can make it look a bit better, but never as good as the 5.0 picture.
So if most of tv watching is going to be standard definition tv (480i) I would stick with a smaller 720P tv, even a standard def tv if you can find one. If you have lots of over the air high def channels where you live, or have hi def cable or satalite then a 720P or 1080P tv might be a good choice. If you are an avid movie watcher and plan on getting a blu ray player and watch lots of movies then the extra money on a 1080P tv might worth the money for you.

Camileo X-sports - no thumbnail files using 1080p 60fps

Hi everyone:
I've recently bought the camileo x-sports. It's a nice camera but i found one problem with it:
It is supposed that with every video or photo that it takes, it creates simultaneously anoher smaller sized file, named as "thm".
The problem is that my x-sports does not create that file for videos in 1080p 60 fps, but it does for 30fps.
Whats the problem with it?, i tried solving it updating the firmware, but it did not result.
Thank you for your time.
Enrique.

The thm file extension means thumbnail image file and this is a quick snapshot of your video.
Besides the original recorded video file (VID00001.mp4) a smaller sized video file (VID00001_thm.mp4) will be created during video recording.
This file will be used for faster video content transfer with your WiFi APP from the camera to your tablet / smartphone device and further to upload your videos and photos to social networks with your WiFi APP.
Obviously the snapshot isnt created due to the double frame rate and I guess this happens because the 60fps file is much bigger and probably 30fps videos file quality is good enough to watch it on your tablet / smartphone or for upload to social networks, etc

Optimal settings for export from 1080p camcorder - Canon HF100

I just bought an HF100 camcorder. When I make projects with iMovie what are best export settings for 1080p projects? What about for 480p for a DVD. I tried to export 1080p video and it looks grainy. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the camera or iMovie?
Also, when I play clips inside imovie the playback is choppy. Is there anyway to fix this?

I'm using a HF10, and I don't think iMovie '08 properly detects that 1080p recordings from these camcorders are progressive scan, but rather treats then like 1080i clips. I find I get better results by recording in the default 1080i if there's sideways motion in the video. That doesn't really surprise me - according to the AVCHD consortium website, there's no such thing as 1080p in AVCHD (see http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html).
DVDs are always interlaced anyway, so for best results you want to start with 1080i and not 1080p. I export at 960x540i, using the Quicktime export option selecting "High" quality mode. The default "Large" sharing option in iMovie uses a bitrate that I find too low for getting the best quality.
When you export at 1080p, what is your bitrate set to? That makes a lot of difference.
Finally, 1080p playback is very hard work for your computer. Try quitting other applications before playing back your video to get a smooth experience. Or export at 540p.

1080p/50

My panasoic camcorder's best quality is 1080p/50, what are the settings for burning a movie to a DVD to play on a Blu-ray player ?

A DVD is always going to be standard definition. They will be 720X480.
If you want to burn a Blu-Ray, then you have the options for HD playback. There are Blu-Ray specific presets available when exporting out your movies. H.264 Blu-Ray would be the place to start. Just make sure you are using Blu-Ray media and a Blu-Ray writer.

Convert 1080p avchd to 720p AIC directly from camcorder

Is there any software out there that lets me import video from my camcorder and convert it from 1080p to 720p Apple Intermediate Codec for use in iMovie.
Importing directly using iMovie generates 1080p material witch is slower to work with and takes a lot of disc space...

MovieConverter Studio does the trick.

How do you find the average bitrate for 1080p movies purchased in iTunes?

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to find the average bitrate for 1080p movies purchased in iTunes?
For instance, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows on Bluray has an average bitrate of 18.523 Mbps.
Thanks in advance!

Some titles look great from iTunes Store but over the years I have been very aware of distracting banding issues especially in dark/bright areas for example where you'd expect a smooth gery/black gradient but you get discrete bands of greys to black.
Many people say they don't see it, but I'm very sensitive to it.
I'm not convinced it's a pure bitrate problem, more to do with the encoding algorithm. Either way it's a clear disincentive to build a library of this content if you see it.

How to connect my Satellite C650 to TV with HDMI cable?

Connecting my laptop with my television??
I have Satelite C650 laptop which isnt that old, but ive connected my laptop to the television using a HDMI cable and it isnt working.
The television is a samsung 1080p one, i would be grateful for some advice.
Many thanks
Claire

Hello Claire
I presume you use your notebook with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook so it should work without problems.
Connect your notebook to the TV with HDMI cable. If your TV has several HDMI ports please enable right port on TV and after doing this use FN+F5 key combination to switch from notebook to the TV.
When you use FN+F5 key combination can you see several options including HDMI option?

External display - maximum resolution only works in safe mode on MBP

I'm having an issue with an external display connected to a 2012 non-retina MacbookPro 15" i7 running 10.9. Monitor is Dell U2713HM, which has a maximum resolution of 2560x1440, and is connected via a Mini-Dipslayport to Displayport cord.
My setup has been working great for over a year, where while at my office I use the macbook closed in "clamshell mode" with the Dell monitor being the only display in use, running at 2560x1440. However today when I came into my office and connected to the dispay as usual, the resolution on the Dell was noticably scaled. System preferences is showing it running Scaled at 1080p, and when I select Best for Display it stretches to a very wide and distorted resolution. I can hold alt and click the Scaled button to display additional resolutions, however the maximum resolution listed is 1600x1200. Same problem regardless of clamshell, mirror, or extended desktop modes.
I've been trying to track down the problem, and have run though the usual procedures: restart, shutdown, reset PRAM, reset SMC, check cord connections, verify disk, repair disk permissions - all to no avail. However when I boot in safe mode the display runs as it should at 2560x1440 without issue, which lets me know its not a problem with the cord or connectioin, but rather something on the OS / GPU side.
I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the issue. Considering its been working fine for quite some time, and I've made no unusual changes to the MBP in the past 48 hours when the display was working properly, I'm not really sure where to go from here. Hoping to not have to migrate to a new user or repartion my HDD.
Any suggestions on possible solutions?
Thanks.

I stumbled upon a fix. Still not sure what caused the issue in the first place, but for anyone having the same issue, the display override script contained on the site below seems to have fixed the issue.

Media encoder time remaining stops decreasing and processor drops to zero. Time elapsed keeps going up! File won't complete!

Please help anyone who can.
Firstly I know I have very little RAM on my system, only 4GB but I've been rendering the same kinds of files for weeks with no problems until the last few days.
They biggest issues is as follows:
My timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014 has 1080p 50mbps MXF footage from a Sony PMW 200 and some similar footage replaced with an After Effects comp for green screen keying.
The clip, approx 2min, starts with a linked comp from after effects, then cuts to the mxf footage and back to a linked comp at the end.
I am exporting via media encoder to h264 1080p. The file rendered fine for about 40min with the processor at 50% approx. The processor then shot up to 99% for 10 mins and the render progress bar
went up to almost 90% complete.
Then the progress bar stopped, the processor dropped to 0%, time remaining is steadily climbing and so is time elapsed. I've tried pausing and un pausing the render que and nothing else is running in background.
I need these files rendered tonight!! I've tried this a few times and this problem keeps occurring sometimes with the remaining time shooting up to 74 hours!!
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?!
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
Dell Precision workstation 690
Intel xeon X5365 3ghz (x2)
4 GB RAM

Sounds exactly like what is happening to me. This is frustrating because it was a 30 hour encoding process and the place where it is stuck is right at the very end of the sequence on the 2nd pass, although there is still about 12% of the progress bar remaining. I guess that this is where it takes all its work and puts the separate files into the single video file. I really don't want to go through this again. The final video file is showing up though and is shown having the size that I am expecting it to be.
Any workarounds to somehow get this unstuck? I am hesitant to just try and open the file. I am going to try a couple of things and if I am successful at getting this to finish without restarting then I will be sure to post it here.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but I looked at my system Activity Monitor, and there is a CPU process highlighted in red, it states:
Adobe QT32 Server (not responding)
Thirty minutes later...
I was incorrect above as to the actual problem. I paused the queue encoding that was stuck, then opened up the project again in Premiere Pro only to discover that there was an offline still image which I stupidly had renamed during the day. So I renamed the file back to its original name, reconnected the picture, saved the PP project. Then I started the encoding back up and still no luck.
So I paused the encoding again, went back into the PP project and rendered just the area under question, saved it, and exported it into the queue. Then just to be safe I went to the paused item in AME, and duplicated it adding another version into the queue.
Then I unpaused the encoding and ... SUCCESS!! Not sure which of the final steps did the trick, but I am guessing that it was the rendering of the part of the sequence that it was stuck on. Hope this helps someone.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 not working on both my Computer

I just bought Adobe Premiere Elements 10 to use with my Sony Handycam HDR-XR160 but it just dont work
I first try to install on my PC: Intel Quad Q6600 with 8 Gig of Ram and a 500 Go WD Black Edition and a GeForce 9800 GT with 1 Gig of Video Memory .... really jerky video editing interface and the play back is really bad a lot of pixellization all over and also really realy jerky
then I tried with My Mac Pro 2008 2XQuad Core Xeon 10 Gig of Ram 2 x 1TB WD Black Edition (Scratch Folder on second HD) and a ATI Radeon HD 3870 same problem but now the video play back just stop every 5 seconde it s also hard just to drag the video in the time line at the botom of the screen
This is computer I use for My Recording Studio and it's working like a DREAM. I did the same manipulation with other program like IMovie and so on with NO PROBLEM AT ALL .... and the interface was responsive unlike Premiere
I bought your programe thinking I was going for a upgrade from what I was using before and now I can't take it back cause the box is open so please tell me you have a fix or someting cause at the moment ... i'm really not to impress
Thanks for the help
