Best Options for Raw Video in Onlocation CS4? ...and Stuff.

Hi...I am running out of time for this project because I cannot get the JVC GY-110 camera to match the settings in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. In other words, I can’t get my footage off the DV Tape! However, the “workaround” I found is to use Adobe OnLocation CS4. I easily got OnLocation to record live video. It’s glorious. It is recording in .AVI and I am wondering how to get this to record in MPEG2? I read that it can do that but cannot figure out how. I want to do this, 1) to edit in Premier Pro CS4 and 2) for the local TV station that wants it in that format. Can anyone please provide some insights here? Is MPEG format even what I should be doing or is .AVI ok?
The project is going to be used online and on a local TV station so the plan is to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to create formats for each.
Finally, to create overlays (I guess that is what you would call them) such as photographs, news info bars in the lower 3rd portion of the screen (etc) do you suggest I use Premiere Pro or Encore CS4?
In summary, my questions are:
1) Should I be using .AVI or .MPEG formats in OnLocation?
2) How do you get OnLocation CS4 to record in MPEG?
3) Is Encoder CS4 the best way to export video for multiple formats? If so, what is the best starting format?
4) What is the best way to create overlays like news bars?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Sincerely,
~A Desperate Nooby

You should import the files, captured with OL, into your PR project. Now you have two choices, either use dynamic link to Encore and have Encore do the encoding for you or you can encode yourself. This requires a basic understanding of bitrate settings, which you can easily gain from using a bitrate calculator, like http://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php?PHPSESSID=6501b6b2b31f4c4a295bc8c2ba1e6f57
Encore is included with PR, so why not use it? It is so easy and you can add menu structures, subtitles, etc. to your DVD's. For other export formats, like WMV, H.264 etc. you don't need Encore, unless you want to burn to BR. Just use AME.
DV AVI type2 has the advantage that it is extremely easy to edit, does not put a lot of strain on your computer and will not show any noticeable degradation in quality when exporting.
Hope this helps.

  • Mac Mini - best option for adding video streaming to existing HDTV setup?

    Hello, new to the Forum but not to Macs - currently enjoying my 1yr old iMac, far cry from original 128k Mac I bought in 1984...
    I am interested in adding streaming video capability to my home theatre setup, which consists of a Pioneer PRO-FHD1 50" (full 1080p) monitor, Rotel RSX1057 receiver driving 5.1 surround, and Samsung BD-P1200 BluRay DVD player that is not internet-capable. Options are: replace the Samsung with an internet-capable BluRay player, add an Apple TV, or go for a Mac Mini altogether. I am leaning towards the Mac Mini as I might as well have a full-fledged computer that does what I want, and a lot more. However in reading some of the posts here I see that some people are having all kinds of screen resolution and signal issues, others seem to have it sorted out. Any advice appreciated.

    Welcome to  Discussions!
    The mini as a media center is an excellent idea in general. You've already gathered that the most critical concern is the compatibility of your particular TV, although it isn't really as bad as it may seem here. Remember, judging based purely on the threads here is like making an assessment of the viability of the human race by looking at patients in hospitals.
    If you can research a little to see if anyone has tried hooking your model of TV up to a mini already, you may find out if it should work smoothly or not. Once that matter is addressed, I can attest to the great results of using a mini as a media center. I Strongly suggest Plex as a great application to enhance the mini as a media center.

  • Best option for making video podcast tutorials using a tablet

    I am not very familiar with the use of tablets but I would like to be able to produce tutorials for my students that look like this:
    http://www.screencast.com/users/pretzej/folders/Jing/media/93ef7f12-2912-454c-87 d1-701b618e250f
    Would Inkwell work? I am not clear that it is still supported in Leopard. I primarily use an iMac 24" 2.8GHZ Core Duo Extreme. Ideally, a tablet notebook would work best but I would like to make a minimal investment. Would a Wacom Bamboo be a good choice.
    Thanks.

    I don't know about "best" but here is a list of Mac-compatible webcams:
    http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com
    If price is no object, one of the best is the one built into the Thunderbolt Display, as long as you don't need to hold the camera by hand and don't mind the size and bulk of a 27" monitor built around your camera:

  • What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

    What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
    Some background:
    In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
    Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
    I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

    Hi, beejasaurus
    I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
    Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
    Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
    The links work from that PDF.
    Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

    I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • Best option for replacing a faulty ATI Radeon x 2600 XT 256mb

    My graphics card has just packed up, and I am struggling to find anybody at the Apple Technical Support service to give me a straight answer.
    I am not a gamer, and only require a card that will allow me day today use and for general camcorder editing (novice level).
    I had an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT - standard install. in my MacPro (early 2008) 2.8Ghz, Dual Quad Intel chipset, OSX 10.6 (snow leopard).
    Can anyone recommend the best option for ATI card, as I have read theyh perform better than the Nvidia cards.

    I'd get ATI HD Radeon 4870 Mac Edition from Apple.
    The GT is more like spare or for 3 monitors. Why or how Nvidia got that card to be adopted as the OEM standard in a workstation, and not say GTS/GTX 200 series is, beyond me. One year ATI, next year Nvidia gets the "prize" seems to be the order of the day.
    Nvidia drivers have been a problem for Apple for years, the GTX 285 would do some serious damage to 3D and CS4/5. Two dual width card design the way a Quadro CX handles CS4 for Windows to do realtime image rendering instantly.
    I wouldn't flash unless you like to dabble or want to learn. In which case a 1GB card would make more sense.
    Surprised though the manager didn't steer you toward the 4870.

  • Best option for remote downlinking

    I am going to be streaming video/audio to some clients all over the US, all of which will be using PC's.
    90% of the time they are going to be in locations where a hardline to the internet isn't possible.
    What is the best option for them to access my stream as well as provide me back a webcam feed?
    Is a cell phone card as good as it gets now?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Your options here are entirely and completely dependent on the local network services. This could include cellular data packet networks (and there are various flavors), WISP, satellite data (Iridium, GlobalStar and such), dial-up at speeds anywhere from roughly 50 kilobaud down to unusable, local WiFi networks, or otherwise.
    Satellite networks are the most pervasive, though do have technical limits and do have among the highest of the high prices. I'd not want to stream video (on a budget) on such networks.
    If these clients are going to be located are fixed sites or specific geographic areas, you can potentially set up backhaul wireless networks. If local network coverage is bad (and the local terrain allows it), you can potentially set up your own WISP, and provide coverage for yourself and potentially others.
    If this is the United States, you're going to encounter some rather severe limitations and network fragmentation outside the metropolitan areas. Inside the metropolitan areas, there are almost always options. Outside those areas, you'll find that some countries will tend to have more pervasive network services, and better wireless coverage. (DSL and cellular data coverage is very far from pervasive locally, and this is located in one of the most populous counties in a small US state. And the local geography is not particularly amenable to a WISP operating on a budget.)

  • Ipad2-ipod4 cable options for audio/video out

    Trying to find the best option for playing music/video from iPad2/ipod touch G4 through my home theater receiver.can I use one cable for both? Receiver does have HDMI inputs/output to tv, but will sound play through to tv or just on surround. Also do any options play audio in 7.1 sound, or at least 5.1?

    Sorry you were having issues w/ audio sync. Try bypassing Onkyo system and going directly to TV w/ component cables. Sync issue could be a result of HDMI firmware hand shake problem. Then from TV you can use the optical out to Onkyo system.

  • Best options for uncompressed HD master?

    I've just finished my first feature-length project in HDV on FCP, and I have some questions about output. In the past I've always been editing SD DV under 60 mins, so master output was always easy. But between the HDV and the 90 min. run time, things are a little more complicated.
    We shot and edited in native HDV 1080/60i. We've rendered our final master sequence in HD ProRes, but I don't know where to go from here. These are my main questions:
    1. My primary distribution is going to be SD DVD, but I want to keep an uncompressed HD master file backed up on multiple hard drives. What's my best output option for such a file? Can I just export a self-contained QT in sequence settings? Will that apply compression I don't want? Is there a better output option in Compressor?
    2. Keep interlaced or deinterlace? Again, most people will be seeing this as an SD DVD.
    3. I'd also like to get a local video outfit to make an HD tape master for more secure long-term archiving. What tape format is recommended?
    4. Question I should have asked but didn't? Please, do tell.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The absolute best quality that you are going to get is by exporting a QT movie using current settings and making it self contained. Since you shot and edited in an HDV sequence this will add no further compression (remember that HDV is already heavily compressed).
    Uh-oh. That's not actually correct.
    HDV is relatively unusual as shooting formats go, in that it's a GOP format, as opposed to an I-frame format. In I-frame formats, each frame of footage (or pair of fields, if you're shooting interlaced) is compressed all by itself, independently of all other frames (or field-pairs). But in a GOP format, a number of frames are compressed together — that's what "GOP" means: "group of pictures." The first frame is compressed independently, then the next frame is described in terms of what's different from the previous frame.
    When you edit HDV +and then export it as HDV again,+ whether to videotape or to a Quicktime, the GOPs must be "conformed." As you edit, you make cuts that break the GOP structure, so the timeline cuts from the middle of one GOP to the middle of another without including the first frame on which that second GOP depends. So when you export or lay off, Final Cut has to go through and convert a bunch of I-frames to B- or P-frames, and convert a bunch of B- or P-frames to I-frames.
    In essence, exporting or laying off HDV imposes a compression hit. You will reduce the quality of your footage.
    Since the question was about the best option for mastering, HDV is +definitely not it.+ Would it be okay? That depends on the footage, and on how picky you are. But it's not the best option. The best option is to master to a (ha ha) mastering format. Uncompressed 8-bit, Uncompressed 10-bit and ProRes are good choices here.
    As for tape … that's tougher. You can absolutely send an uncompressed or ProRes Quicktime file to a dubbing house and get it laid off to videotape, but the question is to what format? HDV is a poor choice, because of the aforementioned compression hit you take when conforming the GOPs. DVCPRO HD would actually be a step down for you, because it would downsample your 1440x1080 native footage (or your 1920x1080 master, if you chose to upres) to 1280x1080.
    That leaves HDCAM and HDCAM SR. If you've done things like color correction or compositing in a 10-bit color space — or even long-slow dissolves to or from black, which is one of the places where 8-bit really falls apart on you — choose HDCAM SR. HDCAM is an 8-bit format only, and you'll lose color precision if you go to that format. But if you stayed 8-bit all the way through your workflow, then you can go to HDCAM without any real problems.
    Note that both HDCAM and HDCAM SR +are compressed formats.+ Your only option for uncompressed HD videotape is D6, and good luck finding a Voodoo recorder nearby. But HDCAM and SR are good enough for professional mastering, so they'll surely be good enough for you as well. And they're both available in 94- and 124-minute lengths, so you can master your whole feature on a single tape.
    (While you're at it, consider getting your uncompressed or ProRes master file dubbed off to a data tape format as well. You worked really hard on this project, so it makes sense to be a little paranoid about preserving the fruit of your labors.)

  • Microphone options for sports video

    I need to figure out the best options for audio capture for high school sports videos--primarily football (American) and volleyball. For football, I will be recording from the annoucers booth (i.e., well away from the field). I'd like to get one channel that is mostly "field" sounds (and doesn't include my behind the screen cursing), and a second channel that has more ambient sounds and that will hear me calling out down and distance (and cussing) Would a shotgun mic be useful at distances of 100s of feet?
    I have a Canon XH-A1 which has dual XLR inputs. Cost is a strong consideration. Appreciate your advice.

    +<??? Thought I posted this days ago...>+
    Ah. Yes. With potentially hundreds of clips (plays) per game, that would be a lot of clapper boarding! But I get the idea and I'm considering it. Maybe there's a way to get the LANC signal to trigger a DAT tape...
    Right now, I'll be operating the two sideline cameras and we will have a third camera on a 30' tall boom in the endzone (yes, this is just high school...)
    For the next day film review, the editing has to be minimal because of the time crunch, so i'm trying to work out synchronizing the cameras. There's also special football video review software that gives the coaches and players a lot of viewing flexibility from the multiple angles.
    For my own use (son on the team) and for the end of year highlights stuff, I have been using Final Cut Express, which I like. Pro/Studio has a lot more features, and the fact that express loses the timecode, can only handle a few HD formats, and only works in AIC are significant limitations. $1100 and the huge time committment to get up to speed on Pro are pretty big limiatations, too.
    Everyone is blown away by the video though--even transfered to DVD using iDVD. When they see it directly off the camera or on the computer, well, it certainly ain't the $600 Costco special video camera folks are used to. I'm very much a novice with using the camera, and I can't say I have a lot to compare it to, but the image is spectacular, which I assume has as much to do with the lens, it has full auto dumb-dumb modes that work reasonbly well and full control modes that give you... full control... it's reasonbly small and light. There are a lot of menu steps to get to certain functions, but there are user defined function buttons that you can set up. For me, so far, so good.

  • Best option for Asynchronous method invocation? JMS or Pure Java Thread

    Hi,
    We've a swing based Client application which is supposed to run with a server in J2EE environment. Some process like Search etc are very time consuming. So we are going for asynchronous process.
    Now the question is to find a best option for this. Two possible candidates are
    1. JMS
    2. Java Thread.
    Can anybody suggest me which one is the best option in this context?

    Actually my thought was the issues with code maintainability.Maintainability is different issue, it is much related to OOAD and design pattern you might want to choose to avoid coupling (thus high reusability and maintainability - eg: for future enhancement, etc)..
    public interface SearchService {
         public static class DefaultFactory {
                 public SearchService getInstance() {
                          return HttpSearchService.getInstance();
         public void search (String[] keywords, Observer obs);
    public class HttpSearchService implements SearchService {
         public static HttpSearchService getInstance() {
                ... bla bla bla singleton ...
         public void search(final String [] keywords, final Observer obs) {
                     (new Thread() {
                              public void run() {
                                    .. do http request ...
                                    List result =  ... parse http response ...
                                    obs.update(list);
                     }).start();
    SearchService ss = SearchService.DefaultFactory.getInstance();
    ss.search( new String[] { "get", "me", "my" , "dukes" }, myTableModel );
    ...You can, in future, replace the default factory HttpSearchService with something faster, more appropriate SearchService, without changing many codes.

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

    Dear All,
    I have three Task Flows:
    1. TF1
         -  Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
    2. TF2
         -  Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly.  Generally any data
         is feed from TF1
    3. TF3
         -  Same as TF2Use Case:
    All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
    Question:
    1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
    2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
    Given the scenario above:
    - shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
    - contextual events?
    What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
    Please help.
    Webcenter 11.1.1.6

    Contextual events seem to be the best case.
    This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
    An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
    In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ
