AVC INTRA 100 INGESTED CLIPS SHOWING MYSTERIOUSLY LOW DATA RATES
Just finished my first P2 chroma key shoot using AVC Intra 100. I have ingested and transcoded using log and transfer using Pro Res 422 HQ (we shot 1080 25p) Each clip is showing a data rate of around 20mbps, yet the white paper on Pro Res suggests 200mbps data rates. Even the AVC intra files are showing data rates of around 20mbps-despite the 100mbps AVC Intra- IHow come the files are showing such low data rates? How come they are not reading 200mbps??? What did I do wrong or what am I not understanding about data rates??? Thanks
Before all Hi Tom Hi Klaus and Hi String
i was looking at the forum for some one that has having the same problem than i and found it!
I'm using this new HPX-300 with the AVC-INTRA 100 codec. And when i import the content using log and transfer (final cut 7!!!) with avc-intra native plug-in, all that, to apple prores 422 hq compression the size of the video is like 14 mb/s is that right? and the quality doesn't look so good too, but this i fink is because of my computer.... AND THE INFORMATION OF THE VIDEO IN THE INFO WINDOW (more info part) IS SAYING:
DIMENDION 1920x1080
CODEC: AI16, LINEAR PMC, TIMECODE ---> why not apple Pro Res 422 (hq) ???
COLOR PROFILE:HD (1-1-1) ---> This should't be 4-2-2 ?!?!?!?!?!
If some one can explain to me who does this work i apreciate!
And all ways Tanks for sharing!

I received a hard drive with some Quicktimes that are in AVC-Intra 100 format.
So I went to the Panasonic site and downloaded the decoder.
But in QT player I only get audio, and in FCP Log and transfer I get "unsupported media or invalid directory structure"
I am running FCP 6.0.6, OSX 10.4.11, Intel 8 Core
From what I gather I have 2 choices:
-Bring the drive to a fully up to date suite, using FCP7 and convert all the clips to ProRes
-Get the P2 cards copied with their file structure intact to a drive, then do a Log and Transfer
Is there any other way I can deal with the videos?
ThanksYou need to "get the P2 cards copied with their file structure intact to a drive, then do a Log and Transfer."
If I recall correctly, the native AVCINTRA100 QT players only work within FCP, and cannot be played separately.
Not certain but that's what I thought. -
AVC-Intra 100 performance in CS5?
How well does Premiere CS5 work with AVC-Intra 100 Pal 25p compare to Premiere CS4.2.1?
I have a hard time to make CS4 to work well with AVC-Intra, no sound and then sound, stuttering video playback and poor performance over all?
My system is running fine with all other type of format including big Cineform project (CS3 thought for Cineform).
My system

MikaelNow is CS5 better to handle the AVC-Intra codec then CS4? Please Help me.
I have big problems with AVC-Intra 100, when I select sequence AVC-Intra 720p 25p inside CS4 Premiere 4.2.1 and drag some clip onto the timeline it becomes red and all 4 sound tracks are completely empty of sound without any peak drew up. Then out of nowhere without any reason, some of it appears, some of the sound and then completely disappear again (randomly).
The video is also not playing without stuttering and without all frames intact (25frames/sec) more like 12frames/sec???
All this is the same when I try to render out a master, stuttering video and no sound.
When I look at the same files inside my HPX301 the files are playing just fine with perfect sound so it’s not the recorded files that are wrong.
System mode: 720-50p.
Rec Format: AVC-I 100 /25pn.
This computer is flying with big, big complex projects of 10 bits Cineform files so it’s not the computer that can’t handle it (this is with CS3 Premiere 3.2 on another disk thougt).
My computer setup:

Black screen while using x264 with AVC Intra 100
Hey,
I've got Premiere Pro CS6 and I've started testing the use of x264 with Dxtory. The problem I face is that the footage is incompatible with every sequence preset (as far as I know) apart from AVC Intra 100 (AVC Intra 100 1080p 30fps is the one I'm trying to use). However when I use this preset all that the preview gives me is a black screen wheras the audio is playing perfectly. This isn't urgent as it's always possible to just convert the footage to MP4 with Handbrake however not being able to use this codec would be a shame, especially since I've seen others using it without any problems at all.
Thanks,
LawrieI'm not familiar with x264 or Dxtory, but a search of the forum for "x264" and "black" led to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4733946#4733946.
Which leads me to ask: what is the extension of the file? A little research on Dxtory leads me to suspect that it's an .avi. According to the thread above, Premiere does not support x264 content in an AVI wrapper. -
I don't know why Adobe premiere CC automatically adjust an .mts file from my canon XA20 (AVCHD based on h264 1920x1080 25p) like an AVC-intra 100 1080i. While editing it appears crispy and noisy. Im editing in a windows 7 64 bits plattform. Must I install de properly codec on my machine ¿?
Any suggestion ¿?Yes it does that. AVCintra is just a name for a preset. Set the preview codec to i frame mpeg only
And no, dont install any codec.
You can alsway select a AVCHD preset from the list. -
Green Screen using AVC-Intra 100 ugly
Been using the hpx300 for approx two months mostly in 720p with great results. Just wraped our first true HD green screen shoot using avc-intra 100 at 24p with the intent of producing a white background mac-ad type, 5 min talking head corporate piece in SD. I had the camera mounted at 90 degrees to capture the 1920 pixels of subjects head-to-toe so I could then manipulate individual zoom and placement in post within a SD timeline. I've got two issues: one is that the images in post seem noisy, and any movement, as in subjects walking across screen, is a total mess - I say seem because all recording and playback on location looked just fine on a 1920x1200 monitor via blackmagic i/o box. I normally do basic editing in premiere with much help from AE for composting and color correction etc. Keylight has always worked great in the past. I must have something wrong with settings in the avc-intra HD content? Secondly, workflow is a bit convoluted... Keylight doesn’t apply in premiere, and AE doesnt do avc-intra. The workaround is to export avc-intra premiere timeline to AE and key that. In theory it should work just fine, but again my images are just noisy. Could this PR to AE workflow degrade image quality? Any suggestion greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt

IS HD REALLY HD- GREENSCREEN ISSUES
These plates were all shot with an HVX-200, mostly with the 100 MBps DVCPROHD codec. This was good enough for us for Visual Effects For Directors because we had specific needs, but we don't consider them good enough for full film production.
Here's why:
COLOR SAMPLING: We prefer all green screen to be 4:4:4, so every pixel has a unique color. 4:2:2 only updates the color every second pixel, but green screen desperately depends on a sharp, accurate, scientific color transition. With 4:2:2, you're operating in half resolution. But if you downsize, like we downsized to 720x480, you're at full resolution again. So because we're delivering in SD, the plates are 4:4:4 for us. They'll just be 4:2:2 for you if you're delivering for an HD movie.
PIXEL ASPECT: When a camera is listed as 1920x1080 HD, that's really stretching the truth. You'll see that all our plates are in 1280x1080, which is the original camera resolution, meaning that the plate has to be stretched 150% on the X-axis to be in the right aspect. In other words, you're only operating at 66% resolution on the X-axis. Did someone say "smearing"?
NOT EVEN 4:2:2: By the time 1280 has been stretched to 1920 to make up for the 1.5:1 pixel aspect ratio, 4:2:2 has been stretched out too, basically becoming 4:1.5:1.5
LENS RESOLUTION: Nobody besides DPs really thinks about the fact that a lens has a resolution. Zoom lenses are made of many lens elements in a clever configuration, and each element introduces some blur. That's why top-notch DPs like to use prime-lenses cut from diamonds from King Solomon's mines, because if the lens limits the resolution, it doesn't really matter how well you record the signal after that. Some people have come to the conclusion that the HVX-200 is really a 720p camera, because the 1080p resolution doesn't really come through. We tend to agree, but we don't want to start a religious war, and will say that it's just our personal experience. On top of that, we've used a $500 wide-angle adapter on some shots, which really butchers the pixel resolution, so even though we're recording at 1080p, we're really not. But 1080p allowed us to record with the 100 MBps DVCPROHD codec, which meant that we still got a very respectable resized SD signal out of it.
BAYER PATTERN: Most cameras use a Bayer pattern on the chip, so that every pixel is EITHER Red, Green, or Blue — but not at the same time. A full Red-Green-Blue pixel is derived mathematically by interpolation. It's no wonder that some organisations are starting to call for an objective standard for what really constitutes a pixel, because a Bayer pixel is definitely not a real pixel — more like half a pixel. By the way, there are twice as many Green pixels than Red or Blue in a Bayer sensor, so you're far better off using green screen than blue screen on video.
HALO: Even with the internal sharpness generator completely disabled, the HVX-200 has a clear black fringe several pixels wide on the right side of actors on green screen. Panasonic vehemently denies it, but it's very easy to see. In this picture, notice that white areas get a fringe, but darker areas, like her legs or hair, don't. Panasonic's explanation has been that it's just a shadow from the lighting (huh?), but the halo is on the KEY side — so the only plausible explanation is a quantum singularity localized to the actor which bends light as it passes by her body. We think it comes from the Bayer pattern, but we're not sure. And Panasonic shouldn't feel bad. A Nikon D80 does it too.
HEAVY COMPRESSION: Even though it seems like a lot that we're recording at 100 MBps in the DVCPROHD codec, if you calculate the bit-rate per true output-pixel, we're actually still compressing at a whopping 15:1.
NOISE: Video cameras in this price range tend to have rather high noise, and on top of that, they're usually 8 bits per color channel. This can result in some highly visible shadow noise that almost pixellates when the brightness is just on the edge of a bit-threshold. You can see some of our plates doing this.
An HVX-200 and all its brothers and sisters in its price range simply don't have the horsepower for full pixel, high dynamic range, high resolution, uncompressed production that you need to do truly professional green screen. Green screen is ultimately a scientific process, and is one of the most demanding things you can do with your camera. Regular live-action images are MUCH easier for your camera to handle, so for regular filmmaking, your camera is fine, don't feel bad.
We have nothing against the HVX-200 or its brothers or sisters — come on, we shot a whole DVD set about visual effects on it — but it's important to really understand what the limitations are. It's fine to own your own camera for regular filming. For green screen, you should consider renting the very best you can afford — and make every decision right, which is where we come in.
Thanks for reading!

Tried to "log and transfer" a Panasonic HPX3000 P2/AVC-Intra 100/ 1080x1920 60i/24P file but Final Cut Studio 2(6.0) didn't read it What did I d wrong?? have the latest Macbook Pro intel computer, I have uploaded the Panasonic AVCintra Decoder in my mac succesfully.
I have i my Audio / Video setting chosen : Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24P 48 Hz.
What am I missing??
Anybody know?
I would appreciate it..
Theo Van de SandeDo you have have FCP 6.0.2? The latest upgrade?
How about FX Factory by Noise Industries? Do you have that? I ran into an import issue with P2 DVCPRO HD and a version of those plugins. They have been updated to fix that issue.

When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate". We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD.
What did you export from Premiere?
Did you use the MPEG2-DVD preset... and did you make any changes to the preset?
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help -
When I take a look in the deployment guides I could see that I should not use data rates in the 802.11a network below 12mbit. We do not expect more than 6 calls and 8 phones on one access point but would like to raise the coverage by using 6mbit data rate. We could not place more access points. Is there someone with experience using lower data rates?
Using:1252 Access Points and WISM ControllerAllowing speeds from 6 Mbps can technically work, but the recommendation is also to avoid retries... the larger your cell, the more chances you have to have multipath issues making packets fail. With a voice deployment, if you have more than 1 % error rate, your MOS degrades below 4.1 (the quality of the call is affected and users start complaining that voice conversation is unstable, choppy etc).
So allowing 6 Mbps is fine, but the result will depend on the quality of your RF environment...
hope it helps

WMIC C3205: radio link break due to lower data rate
Hi,
I use a WMIC C3205 within a MAR3200 as workgroup bridge in a test bed environment. The other side of the radio link is made of LAP 1242AG controlled by a WLC2006. Only one AP is used for the time being and the link test results provide RSSI around -40dB.
Once the WMIC is associated, messages listed below are displayed when data traffic is started (IP camera, IP traffic generator).
When the WMIC is running the release 12.3(2)JL3, following traces are displayed once:
*Mar 1 00:19:18.873: %DOT11-4-UPLINK_DOWN: Interface Dot11Radio0, parent lost: Had to lower data rate
*Mar 1 00:19:21.950: %DOT11-4-UPLINK_ESTABLISHED: Interface Dot11Radio0, Associated To AP tdst_01_ap1 0018.74fb.e75f [None]
The link break duration is around 3s. When the WMIC is running the release 12.3(2)JL1, the same events occurred every 9s, but the link break duration is less than 200ms.
Does anybody know the source of this behaviour?

Thanks for your answer. Normally, no other wlan are using the selected channel, but I will check again. My surprise is also coming from the unlike behaviour depending on the software release. I work still on this problem and will let you know.

Try to ingest Panasonic HPX 250 AVC INTRA 100 wich ends AME crash
Hi!
I just bough new camera Panasonic HPX250 and now I try to ingest the footage with Prelude.
Every time after Media Encoder loads the source and tryed to start encoding it ends to crash (look image)
I have tryed also to uninstall whole CC package and Cleaned with CC Cleaner tool and actually done it twice. Original footage is on 1080i50 and I just try to transcode it to single MXF clip with same parameters cos in P2 card the one over 60 minutes clip is cutted in multiple clips. My goal is get that in one peace to Premiere.
Please help me!
Greetings
SamiHi -
QE reports this might be related to a known issue with smart rendering for your selected transcoding preset. Please try turning smart rendering OFF in AME. To do this, open AME and find the preset you are using: It should be under MXF OP1a->AVC-Intra. Right click on the preset you use and select "Preset Settings...". Within the Preset Settings dialog that will appear, select the VIDEO tab and scroll down until you see the check box "Enable Smart Rendering codec". Uncheck that.
Since you changed the default state of the preset, you can now save this as a CUSTOM preset. Give it a name at the top of the Preset Settings dialog (in the "Preset Name:" field). Then click the SAVE A COPY button at the bottom of the dialog. This preset you just created will now appear in Prelude.
Let us know how this works for you. We are looking into the bug and hope to have it resolved in our upcoming release.

Hi
I currently encode XDCAM files to ProRes prior to editing, but we are looking to develop an MXF workflow so I'm testing AVC-intra100.
While the picture quality seems fine the encode time is massive.
A one hour XDCAM clip takes about 40mins to transcode to ProRes422.MOV, but to AVCintra100.MXF it takes 2hours 40mins - six times as long!!! Surely this can't be right? They are both iFrame 422 codecs... I've tried on a few different Macs but all give similar results. Can anyone shed light on what's happening here?!
Thanks

UKI just transcoded a MPEG-2 video to three different formats using Adobe Media Encoder. I am on a Windows system and could not test ProRes, but AVC-I was comparable to DNxHD and significantly faster than H.264. The normalized encoding times were as follows:
AVC-I 100: 100%
DNxHD 90: 105%
H.264 (All Intra): 249%
Either ProRes encodes are very fast, or the delays you experienced were related to other factors.

What I need to do is find a way to increase the encode speed on 720p50 AVCintra100.MXF
Transcode settings:
- Do not select "Render at Maximum Depth" if the source files are 8-bit.
- Only select "Use Maximum Render Quality" if the frame dimensions are resized.
Hardware setup:
- Upgrade the CPU and/or graphics card
- Add memory
- Use SSD drive(s) for the operating system, cache, and export destination folders.
- Maximize the I/O data speeds to the source and destination disk drives. If using NAS, consider jumbo packets and teamed ports. If using external drives, connect with FireWire 800, USB3, or eSATA. -
My 1TB flash drive has 100s of GB of mysterious "used" data
My Mid-2014 Retina MBP has the 1TB Flash drive. The other day I noticed I was almost out of space (<20GB free), which seemed a little odd. Did some cleanup, and still had less than 100GB free.
Currently I'm seeing 83.3GB free, 840.5GB used. But all actual data that I can see totals only 470GB. This is via Get Info, DaisyDisk, OmniDiskSweeper and Disk Inventory X. There do not appear to be any invisible files that account for the additional 370GB or so of "Other". The disk is encrypted with File Vault.ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.

The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

IPhone convert songs to lower data rate bug
When I use iTunes to convert my music to 128kBit/s before copying most of the covers are lost on my iPhone 4s.
When I import the music without converting it, the covers of the songs are displayed correctly on my iPhone.
So what can I do to fix it?
I use the newest software on my mac and iPhone (OSX 10.7.3, iOS 5.1, iTunes 10.6)Also, as a note, I did everything I could to remove the other data in the past. However, it seems the files are corrupted, hence why i completely restored my iphone. Before, it took about 2.5gb space, after the restore, 700 mb, after the sync and resync, 1.28gb
