2 hour 1080p sequence to NTSC DV widescreen. Quality drops for first 30 seconds.

I am rendering a 2 hour clip from a 1080p sequence to a NTSC DV widescreen preset I have used in the past. The final render exibits strange behavior for the first 30 seconds or so. Quality (birtate it looks like) drops very low then back up mulitple times. Then it settles to the good quality for the rest of the clip. I have tried variable and constant bitrates, all different settings. nothing changes with shortening the length of the clip either.

Are you rendering, or exporting?
If the former, do you really need to? May people do it out of habit, not realizing it's largely unnecessary
If the latter, what are the media specs? What are the sequence and export settings?

What is the best format to save in computer playback to match the quality of my camera ( MP4 1080p) - NTSC provides poor quality, MPEG2 files are too large?

I am editing video and would like to share these at the same quality and size as the original file - MP4 1080 film clips. I am downloading these files to Google, or to another network. Choices under computer viewing result in the following - NTSC provides poor quality and the MP2 1080 more than doubles the file size. Any better choices?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
What is your camera? Can we assume your videos from the camera are AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second?) What is the bitrate and duration of the file?
What is your file size requirement for the export?
H.264.mp4 is a frequently used format used for uploads to various web sites. You can find that format in Premiere Elements in the Share or Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD (most often used) or Share or Publish+Share/Mobile Phones and Players.
Please explain what you mean when you mention NTSC versus MPEG2...I understand MPEG2.mpg or MPEG2.m2t, but what do you mean by NTSC.as an export format.
I will fine tune (customize the reply) with some more details as indicated.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Film in 4k to use on 1080p sequence. Can't use warp stabilizer.

Hi all,
So, I've been filming using 4k resolution with the intention of using it on a 1080p sequence. The reason I use 4k is so I have the extra pixels to play with when I use the Warp Stabilizer. BUT, it seems this is not possible to do, as Premiere Pro CC says I need to 'nest' the 4k clips before I can use warp stabilizer. The problem with that is that, 'nesting' a 4k clip to match the 1080p sequence video dimensions, means the 4k video gets cropped to 1080p, thus loosing the extra pixels I had and making it completely pointless filming in 4k in the first place.
It's my understanding that a lot of people use a higher resolution than sometimes needed when filming, so they can crop / stabilize the footage without loosing the quality...but how are they doing this?
Any help with this is greatly received
Thanks,
Paul

After you put the 4k video on your timeline and you "crop" it (size it) the way you want it to be seen in the 1080p frame... then export the video using "match sequence settings"... this will give you a 1080p file... put this on your timeline and then you can use Warp Stabilizer!

1080P sequence with 720i footage (interfield jitter correction needed)

OK, heres something that has me stumped. This Motocross piece Im working on has a lot of 1080p footage as well as some archival 720i b roll. I created a 1080P sequence. In some of the 720i shots Im seeing signs of bad interlacing. Since the sequence is set to Progressive I can understand why this could happen . I dont see any video tools that I can apply to the clip to rectify the problem. Its not jitter per say, its more like incorrect filed order. Any takers out there?

1. Did you interpret the 720i footage correctly?
Maybe not. I just imported the files from the provided hard drive.
2. What's the source of the 720i stuff? With AVC and DVCPro cameras, only progressive 720 formats are available (720p24, 720p30, 720p60, etc.).
Quicktime inspector tells me is DV / DVCPRO NTSC 720 x 480 29.97

Importing a 512 sequence into a 1080p sequence

When you edit a sequence in 512 and want to render out in 1080...do you have to make a new 1080p sequence, then imoprt the 512 and render it out for full 1080 quality? Also, if you don't render your files, does this prolong the export process in Encore? Basically what I'm asking is are rendered files only for playback purposes?

I started with 4k red footage in a 512 red sequence
Did you use the Source Settings menu in CS4 (see above image)
to set your 4K footage proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288),
then create a 512x288 sequence to match the proxy settings?
then brought it into a 1080 red sequence
If the answer to the above question is yes, am I correct to assume
you copied and pasted the proxy resolution media from your
512x288 proxy resolution sequence to your 1920x1080 sequence
then used the "Scale to Frame Size" command?
Some of the nested sequences translated great, but a few of them looked like 512 again.
If you did use the Source Settings menu in CS4 to set your 4K footage
proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288) for editing in CS4, did you then go
back and reset the 4K resolution to "Full", save the project, quit application
and reopen project to apply settings to all clips before trying to open the
project in CS5?
Edit:
My 4K workflow in CS4 was to use a full 4096x2304 sequence setting
with proxy resolution media Source Settings, and "Scale to Frame Size".
After editing is completed I would return to media Source Settings,
set the resolution to full, save, exit, reopen and render.

Can I use 4k footage in a 1080p sequence, then export 4k without resolution loss?

Hi,
I cut a 1080p sequence using 4k footage that I scaled down in the Effect Controls window. If I export that sequence as a 4k file, will Premiere compress that original 4k footage to 1080p, then expand it back to 4k in the exported file (please say no)? Or is Premiere intelligent enough to interpret the export scaling using the size of original footage, rather than the sequence size? (Hope that makes sense)
Of course it's wise to create a sequence based on your delivery requirements, but sometimes clients change their mind and I don't feel like rescaling every damn clip. But thanks for the advice
Thanks!
David

Premiere will export to the settings of the timeline / sequence you've created. It doesn't matter what formats you've used withing that timeline. So if you use 4k in a 2k sequence, Premiere sees it as a 2k sequence and, without user intervention, will export at that format.
Obviously you can up-scale during export but i) why would you want to do that when you've previously down-scaled and ii) anything above 100% magnification will begin to pixelate.

4k Playback in 1080p Sequence - Zoom out in 1/2 resolution

Hi guys,
I'm trying to edit some GH4 4k files in Premiere CC 2014 on a 1080p sequence. But I'm having problem when setting the playback resolution to 1/2.
What happens is that whenever I add some effect, the image in playback will zoom out 50%.
This only happens to 4k footage with effects on it. Without effects or a 1080p clip will playback just fine. Also, this only happens in 1/2 resolution playback. When I set to 1/4 it works just fine.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks

Not sure how to check that. (Sry, I'm new to this tech stuff)

• what effects have you reproed with?
Red Giants Suits, Film Convert, Premiere "Stylize" effects (But no problem with Mosaic). Premiere Color Balance (HLS). Looks like I don't have problem with "Accelerated Effects".
• have you scaled the 4K footage to fit the 1080 sequence? If so, how exactly?
Yes and no. But I have the problem in both situations. When scaling down I just go to "Motion" and set to 50%. When not scaled, the image "fits" (zoom out 50% when playback).
By the way, I didn't mention that this is just a playback problem. When I export I don't have any issue.
Thanks again!

Quality drop of film in idvd disc image or DVD

I’ve made some films in FCE HD exported them to QT and used a idvd (6.0.3) theme to write a dvd, all I I should and have done many many times before.
All the films exported to QT are in good quality when you watch them in QT, even if you play them in IDVD they look perfect, but once the dvd is written, or even written to disc image (so it can’t be a bad dvd) there is a huge quality drop. It does not look like a high quality apple made film anymore, compare it to an old analog filmed thing with huge bad pixels blocky view, like I used a crystallize effect in imovie (but the film has never been in imovie), not smooth at all as it is playing in QT or did in FCE
It even shows bad on my tv, so not only on my 15,4 macbook or 20” cinema display
This is very humiliating when you play it to a crowd of friends
Is this a idvd 6 problem, might switching to DVD studio Pro be a solution?
I have had this problem ever since I used IDVD6, could returning to IDVD5 be a good cure?
This can not be a good direction of working…

A few points:
First of all, how long is your movie? The closer it is to Best Quality's 2 hour limitation the more artifacting may occur. I find that if I keep things under 90 minutes I get much cleaner results. If it is over 90 minutes I split it over two projects (this all assumes you are using Single Layer DVD/burner. DL will, of course, handle longer movies differently)
The suggestion to make sure everything is PAL is totally correct. Make sure all your FCE sequences are PAL as well as iDVD
Just to clarify: From FCE Export as Quictime Movie ... not Quicktime Conversion. You can decide to make it self-contained or not but this will not affect the quality.
Compressing to MPEG2 is certainly an "invasive" process. DVD Studio Pro and Compressor gives you more options, but for most of my movies I use iDVD and get clean results ... except, as I said, if the running time is very long.
The other thing to note here: What is your source material? Are we talking DV original? Or were the original video files another codec, like MPEG4, or MPEG2 from a DVD ... if so, you already went thru re-compression in order to work in FCE ... by the time you make a DVD, yikes. If it is all DV original, you are really only encoding once.
And viewing your work on a TV applies to every step of the process, including in FCE. While working there, use a TV to monitor your work and you will have an accurate idea to what your image quality actually is

What's the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?

Whats the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?
This movie trailer will be sent to a distributer overseas.
The export I been resorting to lately is MPEG 2 DV High Quality as oppose to anything HDTV because it just shrinks the picture, obviously lol
Do I have anymore options besides Mpeg 2: NTSC DV High Quality?

Lagarith is a codec that you install separately. A very brief Search would have given you that info.
You can access the Lagarith option (once installed) using the Microsoft AVI format, and selecting Lagarith under Video Codec in the Video tab.

One more thing i would like to add here as against the same batch in april we had taken the print of COA (Quality Certificate) through the transaction QC22. But now we are trying to do that than system is thrown above mentioned error.
As i am new in QM, kindly explain we were to maintain the certificate profile.
Waiting for the experts inputs.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
Try with QA33 you may have display authorization, or check in MB51 on the base of material and batch you can find the lot number generated, then go to QA03 and check the result, if you want to validate the characters check with the inspection plan, the characters entered in the inspection plan and the characters in the concerned certificate profile.
Regards
Naveen.

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

Data Quality tab for migration isn't working as expected.

I was doing a test migration from DB2 (9.7) database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer Version 3.2.20.09 Build MAIN-09.87. I found that the Data Quality tab for record count comparison from migration project wasn't working as expected.
It’s not showing the record count from source database. It is showing following error in logging page after every refresh. It is happening because tool is populating SOURCENAME as "DB2"."SCHEMANAME"."TABLENAME" whereas the SOURCENAME should be consist of schema name and table name only. I have gone through the MD_META package and Database views, which are written for repository and found that its appending catalog name in case of source database is DB2.
Is this a known issue? Do we have fix available? I think we need a change in QUOTE function of MD_META package and DB views. Please suggest.

Yes, it is a known issue. Bug 11778359: DB2:RUN DATA QUALITY REPORT GET UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: DB2 SQL ERROR
The bug is unpublished so you can't see it in My Oracle Support, I just mentioned it for reference.
Do we have fix available?Not yet. A fix shall be available in a future version of SQL Developer. Don't ask me in which one and when, I have no idea.
I think we need a change in QUOTE function of MD_META package and DB viewsI don't agree. I don't know what might break if you manipulate that package.
Sorry that I have no better answer.
