50/60 fps in progressive HD?

Ok this is probably the wrong forum to post in, but I'll take a shot nonetheless...
I'm considering buying a DSLR for video shoot in HD and I've come across a Canon model 550D that advertises 1080p in 50/60 fps. What does this mean? Slow motion? Obviously not a field measure since it's 1080p and not 1080i.

It shoots 50 or 59.94fps. No interlacing. It's not supported in FCE.

  • Progressive Workflow

    Hello DVDSP folk,
    I'm working on a project that uses still photos as the only visual content, most of these are historic black and white. Wondering if I can take advantage of this and work towards a progressive scan DVD as the final out put.
    Project is being edited in Final Cut 5, OS 10.4.3, playback through a ED and HD ready LCD monitor.
    I'm wondering what the proper workflow should be to work towards this end. FCP settings? Output from the editing timeline options? DVDSP options ?
    Any suggestions appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Drew

    If you work with a 23.98 progressive fps sequence in FCP, you can export through compressor and that would create progressive MPEG2 video which DVD Studio Pro would support. Do a search in SP's manual about 24 fps or 23.98 fps or progressive... something like that.

  • Export to Blu-ray? 25 fps must be interlaced?

    Hi,
    I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson  EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
    To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
    I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
    Project specs:
                        - 1920x1080 sq pix  (16:9)
                        - 25 fps
                        - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
    To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video  (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out.
    Thanks,

    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    You could just slow it down to 24p (23.97 fps). Everything else is unrealistic. For compatibility reasons, the specs are set in stone with no room for creative variations and on the other hand, extrapolating footage to increase frame rates never looked good, not even when going from SD PAL to NTSC.

    I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles.  These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML.  To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read.  Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight.  Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database:  the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature.  While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items.  Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight.  Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight.  As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them.  Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
      In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight.  This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items"  (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results.  When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step.  A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed.  Is there a way for Automator to do this?

  • I'm dissapointed in the lack of Music Videos available?

    Now I have my 80Gb video ipod since Christmas and I want to build a nice collection of music videos. However, the selection on iTunes is poor and not all music videos are accessible from the main music videos page. Many seem hidden.
    Apple needs to make alot more videos available and make them easier to find or at least when searching for ALL videos they should show ALL!!!
    I want a particular video from "Melanie C - I Turn To you" and what amazes me is that there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the net who's selling music videos but plenty of online viewing in poor quality only. I will gladly pay to get the videos i want but yet again the music industry seems very slow in getting their act together - no wonder they have a problem with piracy!!!
    Come on iTunes please give us more music videos and a better selection as you seem to me to be leading the way!!!
    Anyone have anything to add?

  • Video editing/exporting in Photoshop CS6 - original quality gone in YouTube. Idea?

    Hello, i've searched this forum and other sources already, but couldn't find a solution. Unfortunately, i am not a video pro.
    I record video tutorials about Photoshop (so, screen captures) and edit/combine the clips inside Photoshop CS6 in Win 7/64; Photoshop's new video talent is nice. I record 852x480px at 15 fps with FastStone Capture  and save in WMV.
    I want to show the finished video tutorial on Youtube. There are several things baffling me when editing video in Photoshop CS6.
    My original records  (according to MediaInfo):
    Software: FastStone Capture

    If i upload this *original* WMV clip *without any editing* to YouTube, it looks very nice on YouTube (if you manually set the YouTube player quality to 480p). YouTube upscales the low-res clip nicely even on big screens. (I use the low screen resolution of 852x480 so that tool icons and letters in menus don't appear to small. I would love to stay with that resolution.)
    But i want to combine several screen capture takes in Photoshop CS6. Inside Photoshop CS6 Extended, i get the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) and have only two format options: H.264 (MP4) and DPX (DPX only offerening resolutions between 1080 and 2048 px wide). There is no AVI or WMV or anything else offered.
    So from Photoshop CS6 i export to MP4 with these specs:
    MP4
    Preset: High Quality (nothing "better" is offered)
    Size: as original (852x480)
    Framerate: as original (15 fps)
    Interlacing: progressive (recommended by YouTube)
    The result looks very nice when i play it locally in VLC. It looks like the original WMV.
    But: When i upload the Photoshop-version to YouTube, the video looks very badly "upsampled" and blurred. It looks much worse than the uploaded WMV original.
    If you like, you can compare the two videos from the same source online:
    Uploaded WMV clip, looking good (set player to 480 p):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjmKohV_jmU
    Rendered in Photoshop CS6, looking bad (set player to 480 p):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA0Veq9IZac
    I do like the resolution of 852x480 and would like to keep it. If not possible, i have to record tutorials in 1280x720, even though icons and menus look too small. So far i have not tested it.
    I searched my folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0. There is a lot in it which i don't understand, but some file names include "MPEG", "AVI", "Adobe QT Server" etc. I think there is no Quicktime installed on my machine; i try to avoid it as it does many different things to the system and is obnoxious.
    My questions:
    - When aiming for a YouTube cast, could i stay with 852x480 (at 15 fps), or doesn't it make sense? (I like that size.) If 852x480 is not ok, what is the lowest resolution for getting good looking presentations on Youtube?
    - Why does the Adobe Media Encoder in my Photoshop CS6 only offer the formats H.264 and DPX? Can i get more? (Free, pay.) Would it help?
    - Do i need to install Quicktime? How could i do this with less intrusive QT behaviour?
    - Should i record more fps in FastStone Capture? (I don't find more fps necessary when looking at the original and when looking at the uploaded *original*.)
    - What to do?
    Thanks for all suggestions!

    My Canon EOS Camera can also capture 1080p Video it writes it to the memory Card as Name.MOV.  I don't do video the file are huge. But you 
    made me want to see what CS6 video support could do to reduce the file size.
    So I took one of my captured .mov files and droped it onto Photoshop the .mov file was 264,678,777 byte in size.  I saw the Photoshop could render H264 .mp4 video anf that there were some presets for YouTube at 29.97 the rate my camera does for 1080p, 720p and SD 360p I also tried createin a 854x480 16:9 video 480P
    These are the size file produced 480 make no sence it so close to 720 file size.

  • I'm drowning in the sea of HD export presets. Salvation wanted please..

    Hello,
    I hope the forum proves again its functionality like it did before. Cause my head's getting a little bit blurry now, from all the presets.
    So, the big issue is that I want to export a HD project to a format in which I dont get a wrongly cropped/stretched/laggy/wrong-frame-rate/... image. I know it's not that hard, but I just cannot figure it out anymore.
    I checked other topics and discussions, and found some concerning more or less the same question but I didn't find the right answer, sorry.
    Let's make a list of the settings/info:
         - OS: Windows XP service pack 3, Premiere CS4 (and AE, Photoshop, ...)
         - My captured and imported images are shot with a Canon HV40 HDV camera, and have, according to the title display in the left bottom corner of Premiere the following specs: 1440x1080 (1080p), frame rate 25 fps and PixelAspectRatio 1,3333 (HD anamorphic 1080 i guess?).
    To make sure that these are the exact specs of my video files, i tried - following the ever-returning advice of this forum user Bill hunt- importing my video files in Gspot. But, don't ask me why, Gspot only displays that my files are MPEG-2. The file extension is .m2t.
         - The Premiere CS4 preset I used to make my project is -to match the video files specifications- the HDV 1080 p(rogressive) Preset, displaying the same specs as above.
         - I do not want to export my video to youtube, I want to show the video to an audience using a beamer, which is the reason why I want to keep the quality pretty high. I don't know whether I am going to play the movie on a MAC or a Windows computer, so I need to make 2 versions (each one smoothly compatible with the according OS). Also I want a copy of the movie in HD quality to show to someone on a strong computer.
         - I live in Belgium, Europe. Does this matter in this case? I know that NTSC is the standard in the US and and Japan etc, and that PAL is the standard in Europe. But does this still matter up to this day, with the rather, uh.., global economy and quick exporting of products etc... I do not know alot about this, I hope you understand my question. I mean, what are the consequences from these standards? Do they concern your screen/monitor... ?
         - When I want to export - using Adobe Media Encoder, a HDV export preset with 1080 p, 1440x1080, P.A.R. 1,33333 and a 25 fps is NOT AN OPTION?????
    There are other export presets available of course, for example the MPEG-2 / HDTV 1080p 25 (fps) High Quality. But in the summary it goes: PAL (??), 1920x1080, 25, p . It is right that the PixelAspectRatio on this exportpreset becomes 1.0 (square), right?
    Yes, I know that the eventual size is the same, because both the pixels increase in number, but decrease in size (badly explained i know).
    Is this the export format i should use? Will my image not crop, shock, stretch.. ?
    I'm sorry, for many of you this must seem a stupid and lazy question but I can't figure out the whole system behind this, I would very much appreciate it if someone could explain.
    Thanks in advance;
    Sincerly but dazzled,

  • Jerky Footage When exported from PPro

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can PLEASE help with this.
    Ive read loads online, but failed to find a solution!
    Once again I turn to the Online Community for guidance and support.
    Equipment: Sony NX5 on a Monopod.
    Captured: Full HQ 1920*1080 P 25fps
    Pc: Win 7 professional, i79477ok @ 3.50 Ghz, Graphics card: GeForce GTX-470. 12G ram.
    Editing using PPro cs6. Timeline rendered, then exported (media encoder cs6) using my own present: h.264  720*576 25 fps, PAL, Progressive, Aspect: D1/DV PAL WIDESCREEN 16:9 (1.45.87) Bit rate 10, 14.
    When I am zooming out, form an object, in camera its fine, once imported to PC, playing back using VLC is fine, but when exported, (using above) I see stutter on the same "zooming out". Project played on PC and to SD DVD and on both its "jerky"
    What am I doing wrong, doing nuts here - Video attached below.
    PS - I cant really see the "Jerky footage" on the below clip, but when I watch it on my monitor full screen you can see it then, trust me.

    Yes I used a Manfrotto MN561BHDV-1 Fluid Video Monopod.
    I didnt use "pull back" I was merely "zooming out" and it seems as the footage is NOT zooming out fluid, it zooming out jerky.
    Do you think my export is the issue?
    Im currently trying, h.346, mpeg-dvd. mpeg, avi and QT... final destination is a DVD DISK.
    Any suggestions?

  • Standard frame rate for 1080p NTSC?

    Hello and thanks for having me! Very new(b) to Adobe Premier, so I'll throw something basic out, thanks for your advice:
    the short version:
    What is the 'standard' framerate for NTSC 1080p? Does this framerate differ from what you would use for output at 720p,
    and would you choose different framerates depending on delivery method (web vs. bluray)?
    the long version:
    I have at my disposal a very capable rig to work on, and just doing some basic editing for my audio CV reel. The source material is usually 1080p and sometimes 720p, whether it be streamed into my capture card HDMI from playback sources, or full production originals which I have scored for clients.
    Therefore, while editing my reel together, I'd like to work at full 1080p and downconvert for smaller formats afterword.
    However, I am very new to video editing, and not sure what framerate to work in. I see the available selections of NTSC 1080p at several framerates,
    and I am aware of all available framerates in the US and abroad, so my question is:
    What is the standard frame rate for NTSC 1080p used for BluRay or highbandwidth web transmission? Some are telling me 'use 60, its standard'. Others tell me its 24. Still others say 24 is only for working with film, or interpolating other sources to 'make your stuff look like film'.
    Thank you for any answers or resources, and have a nice evening!

    For Blu-ray you can have two frame rates at 1080 resolution, 30 fps interlaced, or 24 fps progressive.  1080p/30 will not go onto a Blu-ray.
    At 720 resolution, you can have 60 fps or 24 fps, both progressive.
    If you want to work at 1080p, your only option is 24 fps.
    Web delivery is a different matter.  There are no defined standards and pretty much anything you like will play on the web.
    (On a side note, drop and non-drop frame refers strictly to the timecode information, and does not regulate frame rates.)

  • Is it Possible to Convert 60i Footage to 24p?

    I was wondering if it's possible to convert footage shot in 60i to 24p and if it'll look good.
    Like, if I took 60i footage and put it out at 24 FPS in progressive scan through compressor, would it take out the correct frames? Or would it look all weird?
    Just curious if it looks good and if there's a good way to do it.

    Probably your best bet would be http://www.nattress.com and his standards converter. Moves 60i to 24.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere CS3 and 24p exporting

    Hello,
    I've been working on this problem for a long time.
    I have some clips shot with a Canon XL2 in 24p mode with 2:3:3:2 pulldown. I import in Premiere CS3 in a 24p project, go in "Interpreter footage" and set "Remove 24p pulldown", and in the timeline the clips are good, 24p without interlaced frames.
    Then I go exporting: I want export in 24p (23,97) DV format.
    1) If I choose "Microsoft DV AVI" with "DV (24p Advanced)", the clips I get are in 29,97 with still the flagged frame that should have been removed. So I have the same output format that I get setting DV NTSC with his 29,97 framerate.
    2) If I choose "Microsoft AVI" and then I go with an alternative DV codec, such as the Panasonic's one (but I've tried many and I've got the same results, so I don't think it's their fault), I get a 23,97 clip, but the frame that has been removed is not the flagged and interlaced one, is one of the progressive. Watching the clip frame to frame I see that I have 24 fps: 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, and so on.
    Let me know. Sorry for my bad english but I'm italian.
    Thank you

    My own testing shows that Premiere doesn't create 24p friendly DV files. I've had much better success creating 24p MPEG2-DVD files.

  • Premiere Bug Report:  Crashes On Render

    Well like the title says, premiere keeps crashing when I try to render out the video.  I operate on the latest release of CS6 Premiere Pro.
    Here are my settings:
    Format: Quicktime
    Codec: H.264
    Quality: 100
    Dimensions: 1280 x 720
    FPS: 24
    Progressive
    Pixel/Aspect: 1.0 Square Pixels
    24 Bit
    Keyframe: Every 72 frames
    Data Rate Limited to 6,000 kbs
    Frame Blending: On
    Here is a screenshot of the project.
    It seems to freeze up at about 66% consistantly
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks

    Well, I think i finally have got to the root of it...These files were recorded using Blackmagics Mjpeg Compressor, and that seems to be the problem.
    Rather than recoding the files (difficult as AME would fall over as well!) I ran them through my digital desk again (Vmix) playing them back and re recording them using AVi and the normal dv option...this time the files produced would render and output...hoorah  now see if i can finish it..will report back, but this seems to have sorted me out.

  • IDVD right format, problem with autoplay & long rendering/burning time??

    I have a couple of questions, I am getting hdv3 codec, .mov files from a supplier. These I realised I cannot watch, edit or further use without having FCS Pro installed.
    However I want to burn a SD-DVD with a Intro, Menu and Video all in high quality and 16:9 Scale.
    So my question is in what format should I order/get the Videos in order to use them in iDVD? I have tried one different type already, a simple MPEG-2 .mov file including audio. However when I input the DVD in my Harddrive or on any Harddrive on a computer the autoplay function does simply not start up. (Yet, I can play using right-click, play/open with.. etc. and select the player)
    Also this burning process took 30-40 min. for a 1min 30sec movie.. (I guess it was the rendering, but is this normal???) And can I downscale this consumption of time without large quality loss?
    Thanks for answers & help!!!

    Here is how I would order them:
    - 853x480 pixels (more on this below...)
    - 30 fps with progressive encoding (however, iDVD will probably convert it to interlaced)
    - Motion JPEG at highest quality
    *The 853x480 pixel thing:* I have found that if you let iDVD ingest a video not at these exact dimensions, assuming it is for a 16:9 DVD, iDVD will apply a horrible resize filter to the video which will make it very blocky and ugly. Basically, just do the conversion in QuickTime before you give it to iDVD.
    I am not sure why this would be happening:

    For the last part of your question: depending on the speed of your computer and what quality settings you choose in iDVD, especially if you have a large, intricate DVD menu, this encoding time is absolutely reasonable. Unfortunately, there is really no way to reduce encoding times without decreasing quality. HOWEVER, I would still try the other quality settings in iDVD; you may notice no difference in the quality, but the end file size may be bigger to compensate for the shorter encode time.
    Hope this helps,

  • Settings For HDV to Blu-ray and DVD

    What is the best strategy for avoiding unnecessary rendering and transcoding issues? I edit HDV or AVCHD (from a DataVideo DN-60) in Premiere Pro CS6. I want to output to multiple formats - DVD, Blu-ray and Flash from the same project. I'd like to maximize quality as well to fit project on disk.
    I'd also like to know which format most easily transcodes for my purposes. I typically shoot 23.98 or 29.98 fps 1080p, but sometimes 1080i.
    I assume Dynamic Link is the way to go, but it doesn't look like the resulting settings are automatic. For example, if I go into project settings after Dynamic Linking a PPro sequence, and choose Blu-ray, I would expect the transcode settings to match the imported project. If it does not, then what should I change the default settings to?

    Let me clarify the intent of my original post. I have read in places that it is best to choose export and DVD project settings that match the original footage whenever possible to avoid rendering problems. So, if I shoot and edit HDV or AVCHD footage say at 29.98 fps progressive, then what corresponding settings should I use for DVD and Blu-ray?
    I see that with 29.97 fps the progressive option is not available in the Blu-ray
    presets. Should I not shoot progressive then at 29.97?
    How do I maximize quality of the video while fitting on a single disk? The only way to do it automatically is to Dynamic link, which you advise against. If I manually set exports, then I must calculate all the sequence outputs from Premiere. What then should my priorities be? For starters, MPEG2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray? What should take precedence, bitrate settings or number of passes?
    I am also considering render/transcode speed. How do the above settings affect speed?
