Best Compressor settings for HD720 16:9 to cell phone OTHER than iPhone?

Hey there,
Does anyone know a good set of compressor settings for exporting HD720 16:9 29.97fps to a cell phone compatible format other than iPhone? Do most cell phones use an MPEG format? I guess I should start there. New to this one.
Thank you,
ed

There are different MPEG flavours and compression for DVD, mobiles or web often means creating some flavour of MPEG file. Even H.264 is an MPEG file. One of the most advanced.
Go to Compressor settings and look for a folder named Mobile devices then do a bit of your DIY (test, test, test).

  • Best Compressor Settings for Backup

    Hello all,
    At my place of business we capture live footage in DVCPRO HD format using Final Cut Pro. From that I edit the footage and compress it using Compressor. My question is concerning the unused footage that we capture. I'm trying to learn the best compressor settings that will offer the best balance of reduced file size with good quality.
    Thanks!

    The best is not to compress it at all. You don't know what the popular format will be in a couple years.
    Raw drives are cheap. I have a drive dock on each of my machines plugged into the internal sata port of the Mac Pros. I backup all the footage to raw drives and then put them on the shelf. And yes, there are clones of those drives. And I've learned to do it as I go along rather than all at once. I use ChronoSync to keep the raw drive matched to the working raid in my machine. Takes a lot less time that way.

  • Best compressor settings for HDV downconvert -- attention hanumang

    Reposting this bit because it differs significantly from topic of thread where it appeared.
    goal: the best possible HDV-DV downconvert using final cut studio (hitch: I have added problem of converting resulting film from PAL to NTSC)
    previous method: the best luck I've had is Quicktime converting from HDV to 10-bit PAL SD and compressor converting that to NTSC DVDPRO50
    Hanumang recommended using compressor for first conversion. My response:
    What settings?
    By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).
    At first glance, the compressor 10-bit conversion doesn't seem any better than the quicktime conversion (due to the frame rate settings?). I don't know for sure because I haven't sent it back to compressor for PAL-NTSC conversion and on to DVD SP.
    One issue I'm worried about is the dimensions. quicktime's 768 x 576 (preserve aspect ratio checked; letterbox selected) was the only dimension setting that produced a film that looked right (on the dvd; it's squished in final cut). I don't see that option in compressor. I suppose I could type it in the frame size boxes.
    I would be most grateful for help in this matter. I've spent a few weeks on this. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
    how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use? I'm an independent filmmaker, working on a small budget, but eventually, once the film is finished and (hopefully) I have more money, I''d happily pay for a good pro conversion. Do you know what that costs? The film will be 80 minutes long.
    thanks again for your help.
    What compressor settings do you recommend?
    The best workflow I've come up with is qucktime conversion from HDV PAL to SD 10-bit PAL, then compressor conversion from 10-bit Pal to DVDPR0 50 NTSC.
    By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only been change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).

    Anyway, I would be most grateful for answers to these questions. I've spent a few weeks on this and am past the point of frustration. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, dimly hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. Actually, I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
    how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use?

    thanks again for your help.

    My bad, I was out in the afternoon and didn't get a chance to pick up on your reply to the last thread. Sorry to hear that your first attempt with Compressor was so disappointing.
    Just so we're clear, you're using what exact versions of the software? FCP 5.1? Compressor 2? (For Compressor, in particular, 2.0 vs 2.1 vs 2.3 is important.) And, what are your sequence settings in FCP? Finally, we're to understand that you're actually working in PAL HDV? Or are you working in AIC?

  • Best compressor settings for DVCPRO50 footage for DVD

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a Firestore fs-100 and shot a football game in DVCPRO50. When I made a DVD after compressing it, using compressor, I didnt seem as clear and crisp as I thought it would be. When I import it into Compressor, what settings should I pick ect, in order to get the best quality DVD I can produce. Should I open up inspector and make alot of setting adjustments? If yes which ones? Any advice would be greatly appreciated......Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!! Also, I purchased Final Cut Studio in 2005 and my version of Compressor(version 2.0.1) isn't as updated as the current versions out there. Thanks!
    NJShooter

    Just to let you know, I shot the footage in the football footage in the sun. I took your advice and used mpeg 2 and used one pass best option. I also used better deinterlace in frame control, and used 16:9 which it was shot in and my panasonic HVX200 video camera has 16:9 ccd's in it. Around the helmet and and some other body part during movement have what looks like heat on a side walk during a hot day. waves that are around even the unmpires arms and head as well. I shot the footage on a firestore fs-100 and had my camera and the tapeless capture device ( the firestore ) set on DVCPRO50 SD format 480X720 which is regular format not HD. It should look great compared to DV which I get shooting on tape. I have been reading all about compressor and perhaps its not compressor? I am using the quicktime setting in the firestore, which makes it easy to import into Final Cut Pro and am only putting a title in the timeline and then exporting to compressor. I pick the MPEG2 option in compresor for a DVD and am bummed at the end when I play the DVD on my 720 16:9 set. Any more advice would be greatly appreciated. Can you explain the ramping thing to me? Really appreciate your help by the way!!!!

  • The Best Compressor Settings for Rap Vocals

    Does anybody know the best settings in compressor for rap vocals. I don't want it to sound over compressed but clean enough where the attack responds quickly. Thanks guys

    I go for a ratio of about 8.0:1 on rapper vocals with an attack time of around 10 ms
    Actually ( in Logic) if you click on an audio channel and go to settings at the top of the channel strip, in there under male vocals, there's a not bad rapper vocal setting which will get you started.

  • Best  compressor settings for web videos shot on canon 7d?

    Hello,
    I've started shooting video on the Canon 7d.  I usually compress my videos for youtube as MP4 at 300 Kbps.  However my last video had a presenter with background music track added.  When I did my first export to compressor without the music background all the audio of the presenter was perfect.  When I added a soundtrack in the background the presenter's voice was distorted, sounding like a Dalek!
    I got better results with less distortion when I re compressed the video as MP4 800 kbps.  Can anyone please recommend better settings that would give much superior sound and picture with zero distortion?
    Much appreciated.
    thanks

  • Best FC settings for broadcast?

    Hello everyone,
    I am relatively new at this, and I am looking for a better workflow and FC/compressor/ settings for our productions, and to solve a sound issue.
    We use a set of Panasonic AG-HMC150P to capture external videos, so the footage is in HD (imported through ProRes)... sometimes we use our older Panasonic DVXs connected to a Tricaster to produce on-location multi-camera programs, and finally we record our studio programs on DV mini-tapes and/or recorded DVDs.
    We need to produce each program in two formats: DVDs, and Mpeg-2 muxed to feed our video server (Cablecast), which in turns feeds a fiber-optic transmitter to the cable company.
    At present what we do is import everything into a preset NTSC DV (3:2) 720x480 sequence (QuickTime Video Settings Compressor set at DV/DVPRO - NTSC) with 48 kHz- 16-bit audio. Then we basically send the finished product to compressor and export it to a standard best-quality 90-min DVD. We use that for our DVD copies of the program. Then what we do is grab the .ac3 and .m2v files created by compressor, and feed them to MPEG-Streamclip, exporting them as an Mpeg with MP2 audio stream; which creates the mpeg-2 file for our cablecast server.
    So the first question is this: is there a better/efficient sequence setting or workflow we should use? Should we use one sequence setting for DVD production and then copy the content onto a different sequence with different settings for broadcast/mpeg-2 encoding?
    The quality of the mpeg file (when played from the server onto our monitor) is quite good, although I am noticing a loss of quality when I watch the program on TV at home (some visual artifacts and occasional pixellations), but my main problem is sound crackling when the program displays lower thirds (occasionally), more pronounced when PPT files converted to jpeg graphics are displayed in the program. I am VERY careful to keep white levels below 90 IRE (or whatever the scopes indicate as being 90%) and apply broadcast safe filters (chroma and brightness). I keep my average sound level at about -12 dBFS with peaks not exceeding -6 dBFS (sound is compressed in SoundPro).
    Any idea what might be causing the crackling? Thank you for any help you can provide...

    I found the custom settings that I'd made from the DVD Best 90 minute preset and pasted them below.  I made these based on a screen shot that my client provided of an MPEG Streamslip settings window.
    Stefan, you should be able to start from any of the DVD presets in the Settings window.  Then click "Duplicate Selected Setting" (just below the Settins tab, 3rd button over) to add a copy to the "Custom" settings folder.  Select the copy, make changes in the Inspector window and then click "Save" (at the bottom right of the Inspector window).
    My settings were for PAL, but the same settings should apply to NTSC minus frame rate and frame size differences.  The key changes that I made were the number of encoding passes (I changed 2-pass to 1-pass) and the bit rate (the average bit rate and the maximum bit rate were increased).  Also, I was encoding from DV source which has the same picture dimensions at its MPEG2 counterpart so there was no need to change the width and height.
    After you've made your custom preset, encode a short test file and send it to the broadcaster to see if it's compliant with what they can broadcast before committing an entire program to it.

  • What are the best sequence settings for a movie to be put on youtube?

    I am making a video that consists of mainly jpegs and audio. The final movie needs to be crisp and fairly high resolution because the pictures have some house plans that need to be easily read.
    I have tried the following settings only to get a blurry image result in the end:
    Frame Size: 960x720 Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 DV 720X480
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    Quicktime Video Settings:
    Compressor DVCPRO50 - NTSC
    Quality: 100%
    This seems to me like it should be a crisp enough image result but the end result is very poor. When I use the H.264 Compressor instead of DVCPRO50 - NTSC, the image is much sharper but the faded transitions are sometimes choppy, and you have to render the timeline with each change you make. Please help me find the best overall settings for smooth editing and sharper image.
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Your settings -- between the Compressor, Pixel Aspect Ratio and Frame Size -- are oil-and-water.
    If this is going to YouTube (meaning not going to be viewed on traditional TVs) and it's mainly Photos, try using this:
    Frame Size: 1280x720
    Aspect Ratio: HDTV 720p
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    Compressor: Motion JPEG A
    Quality: 100% (though in a lot of cases, you could drag this down to about 75-80% and quality will not suffer)
    Unfortunately, you won't get much (if any) real-time effects. Unless, of course, you're on FCP 6 or later, where you can use a ProRes compressor instead. But with your signature saying 10.4. something, I wasn't sure if it was safe to assume that. The Motion-JPEG setting should work in all versions.

  • What are the best optimization settings for Logic 9....

    Hey guys,
    I am running Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.4, with a AK1 soundcard. And I was wondering what the best optimization settings for this setup are?
    I have been having a few issues with drop outs in sound during playback, which is also carried over when i bounce the audio. I did some research and found my latency settings needed to be higher, so I set the I/O buffer size to 512. I am also running all samples from the local hdd, I was thinking maybe put the samples on an external drive. I also changed Logic 9 to 64bit mode.
    Does anyone know if this is right and anything else I need to do with Logic and/or the AK1??

    First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
    Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
    If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
    If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
    So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • Best export settings for video for web

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

    For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
    be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
    available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
    that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
    guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward
    video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
    Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
    help!!
