Adobe encoder settings for PowerPoint?

Hi
Been using AE for the last few months and find it great.  Had a question from a client who is having problems importing our encode.  We used h.264 codec at 2mbs at screen size 1280x720 and it wont import into PPT.  Wierdly enough a smaller encode with same codec at 360 resolution and 1mbs does.  We need a higher quality video in PPT to allow client to project.  Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

If you are running powerpoint on Windows, then a WMV file works. If using a Mac, then use an MP4. This is based on powerpoint 2007. I know, but never tested it thoroughly, that 2010 (and probably 2013) handles more video formats by re-encoding them (when you ask it to) and embedding them within the PPTX file.

  • "current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

    I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
    Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
    Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
    Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
    In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
    I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
    I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
    Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

  • What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

    In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
    Thanks,
    Chuck Taylor

    Question:
    If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
    I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
    Should I look at a different encoder?
    If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
    thanks.

  • How do I determine correct media encoder settings for Blu-Ray

    I am successfully producing Hi Def Blu-Ray disks by using one of the presets available in Premiere media encoder. Actually using the HDTV 1080i 25 High Quality setting. They playback in beautiful high definition but I think I was just lucky. I would really like to know what determines the setting I should use.
    1. I live in Australia so I assume PAL.
    2. My camera is a Sony HDV. HCR HC9 1440 x 1080i. I assume this is irrelevant to export encoding settings for Blu-Ray.
    3. The export encoder preset has field order set to Upper. I would have thought I should either match the project settings which is interlaced to match my camera and project. OR more likely I should match the audience TV which would be a widesceen plama or LCD TV. I dont know if these TVs are interlaced or progressive. OR is it more a question of what field order the Blu-Ray player expects me to send on the disk?
    4. I will play on a TV 1920 x 1080 pixel capable and on slightly lower resoultion widescreens. The encoder preset is for 1920 x 1080 so I assume that's ok for all widescreen TVs even lower definition ones.
    As you can tell I am a learner. Any suggested links to basic reading on the subject would help me.

    PS Put this item in wrong forum previously.

    Since no response I've been searching and found the following.
    When encoding to make a Blu-Ray disk from my HDV 1080i footage:
    1. Tell encoder the source is 1080i That is interlaced and it's TOP field first for HDV footage.
    2. Tell it to encode to 1440 x 1080 resolution. You could tell it 1920 x 1080 but it will take much longer to encode. Will be good but why bother. All BD players will automatically up the 1440 to 1902 full screen.
    3. Beware, not all players support BD-R and BD-RE recordable disks.
    Seems Panasonic is good. Samsung probably good. Sony and Sharp probably not able to read (yet).
    4. All players read MPEG-2 compression and H264 compression. Use a bit rate of 25 Mbps for MPEG-2 encode or 18 Mbps for equivalent result in H264 encode. Can use higher rates. These are minimums for a very good result
    5. One pass encode is pretty damn good but use two pass if you have the time to wait for the encode.

  • Edit encoding settings for menus with animated background?

    Hi there,
    I just spoke with german support and they mentioned, that there is no way I can edit the encoding settings of encore how to generate the needed parts for an animated menu.
    In this case I have a PAL M2V progressive scan used as BG and after menu rendering encore has created a M2V for the menu with strange interlacing problems ...
    There seem to be options in the "project settings" > "default transcode settings"  dialog (translated form german), but they are grayed out. There seems to be one setting "lower field" and I can not change to "progressive" ...
    Its hard for me to believe that there are really no ways of altering the encode settings for menus. Has someone an idea?

    Because DVD is Interlaced and not Progressive, I would do the Export of that Motion Asset to Interlaced with matching Field Order. There is nothing to be gained by trying to force En to do things that are not allowed by the DVD-specs. It is an authoring app. and not an NLE, so it needs the best possible, DVD-spec. material to work with.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt

  • Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

    Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings.  I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
    I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD.  This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV.  I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size).  Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720.  I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
    Here are the export settings:
    Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player.  As you'll see everything looks very clean:
    I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD.  I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room.  Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
    Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
    But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer.  These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
    Are my WMV settings correct?  Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)?  I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Encoding settings for fast preview

    Is there any suggestions for the encoding settings in adobe media encoder to produce fast preview of Premiere CS4 project? I have done about 40 minutes long project with lots of effects and I just wanted to view the result on big screen, the quality can be very poor - all I wanted to do is to check the whole movie before exporting it to high quality Blu-ray.

    Launching uncompressed transcoding will produce huge file. I wonder, if there are some kind of draft transcoding settings/codecs which can be used to just preview final material. I already know, that when transcoding 1080p material with lots of effects will consume huge amount of processor resources. For example ~30min long project was transcoded to 1080p format in 5h. Regular DVD format needs only 3h to complete in AME-CS4. Is this time can be even shorter, with very low quality material (only for preview)?

  • Adobe Acrobat Settings for Resoluion

    The letters are blurry especially for letters with diagonal lines, e.g. letter Z, because squares are showing up on the screen.  How can I change the setting back to high quality resolution?  I cannot print docs using this low quality. The Adobe Acrobat handbooks do not give detailed instructions to bring me to a screen to make the setting changes.

    Have you tried to print the document. There is a separate setting for screen display (Preferences->Screen Display) that can effect how you see documents on the screen. These setting have no effect on printing.

  • Encoder settings for WMV9 in After Effects CS6

    Hello!
    I'm wondering if there's any way to get more information about the settings used by the encoder when using WMV9.  The reason why I ask is that I do some work in After Effects CS6 but then want to use Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 to encode a video in WMV9.  However, there's a catch!
    When I encode a video in WMV9 using After Effects the results are great and, when comparing frame by frame with my source video, the results match up pretty much perfectly.  But, when I encode using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 the WMV9 generated seems to fall behind the source video between keyframes... hence why I'd like to have more insight into how After Effects configures the encoder.  I'm not too familiar with all this which probably doesn't help. 
    In both cases I make sure to encode in 30fps, using the main profile, constant bitrate, but then there's a load of extra options in Expression Encoder not available in After Effects.
    Alternatively, if anyone knows of a way to encode a wmv9 using a command line utility (other than the Expression Encoder SDK) please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Yeah, unfortunately I do.  The source is generated from a series of images and exported at 30 fps.  I did have a problem earlier where one of my clips was exported at 30.01 and I saw it become offsync over time.  Now, when I import all the clips in After Effects to compare them they are all listed as 30fps.

  • Best encoding settings for slides

    Hi,
    I'm doing a DVD that's made up of a few Keynote slides. I export to QT (Animation Codec) and bring in to Compressor. The resulting MPEG-2 seem a bit jaggy on the text.
    I have the bit-rate quite low as there's not a whole lot of movement.
    Anyone have any idea what the optimum would be for this type of thing?
    Thanks.

    I doubt you will have much luck here. I wish support for my Konica Minolta A200 would be added but there is little hope now Konica Minolta have left the market.
    One of Apple's main shortcomings in this area is their lack of RAW support. This will probally lead Adobe to have the upper hand with RAW processing as they support 100s more cameras than Apple do!

  • AME Taking Really Long Time To Open Encoding Settings

    With the release of the 2014 versions of AME, I have experienced really long wait times when opening the encoding settings for a job. For example, if I add a 1920x1080 image sequence to the encoder, pick Quicktime as the container and any of the available codecs, clicking on the codec name to open it's settings causes a really long delay, maybe 3 minutes, before the settings dialog will open. I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite. Previous versions before 2014 version never had this issue. Is this a known issue?
    thx

    This is a known issue with running AME on Yosemite. We are working with Apple on the issue and hope it will be fixed in an upcoming OS update.
