Best possible quality movie file?

I have a sequence that is DV Pal and my FCP is version 6.0.4
I need to render out with best quality as possible, what´s the best settings to get the best possible quality?
Thanks

Export as QT movie, same settings, self-contained.
That's the best you can do to preserve best quality and avoid any compression steps.

  • What are the settings for exporting the best possible quality movies?

    I'm trying to export movies using imove 11, there are a ton of export setting, im wondering which are the best for exporting top quality movies? assuming file size doesnt matter. 

    ok so heres what the movie inspector says:
    Format: Photo- JPEG, 1024 x 576, Million Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 2channels, 44100 Hz
    FPS: 17.80
    Data Rate:9.63 mbit/s
    Current Size:1024 x 576 pixels (actual)
    So do i want to somehow duplicate these settings?
    The other thing I was thinking about was opening the file in Quicktime and using the "trim" feature to edit it down that way, although its not as neat.  Would this preserve the quality? And would it get rid of the excess footage (which is what I want)? Or would it like keep that footage attached to the file somehow?
    Thanks

  • Movie with BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY on DVD

    Hi,
    I completed a short family movie (15 min) in PAL format with Final Cut Express HD. How do I get it from there onto a DVD in PAL format with the BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY?

    Given the fact your PAL movie is only 15 mins. long in terms of QT playback, here are the settings I'd recommend if you're concerned about higher quality playback:
    (3) G4 PM's/(3) S-Drives/Sony TRV900/Nikons/6FWHD's/PS7/iLife06/FCPHD/DVDSP/etc. Mac OS X (10.4.8) My ichatav AIM account is: SDMacuser1 (Please use Text chat prior to video)

  • AVCHD Editing - Export - Best possible quality?

    Hi there,
    I own the panasonic hdc-sd9 (avchd). I´ve read millions of words regarding the quality, problems, exports, interlace and so on and (although I understand the details very well) after all I´ve been confused indeed.
    What I really want to know (a nobody could answer in a clear and simple way) is the following:
    1. I´m able to import 1080p-movies into iMovie 08. Since iMovie only works with 540 lines, what happens to my video files? Does iMovie cut away every second frame? (1080p is not interlace!)
    2. If I use FCE or iMovie HD 06 and do an export of 1080i, applying an deinterlace-filter, how much lines will be exported (1080 or 540) ?
    3. The main problem: In which mode (1080i or 1080p) should I do the record, and how should I export then after editing (iMovie08, iMovie06 HD or FCE) to get the BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY WITHOUT INTERLACE ? That´s the simple question, nobody can answer to me.
    Kind regards

    and AVCHD is of no use for iMHD6 too..
    we noticed on araise of iM08 some weird effects on export of 'video' from within iM08 Projects (me old dv user, so forgive my ignorance making my test with that old Standard-standard): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1090633
    afaik, AVCHD gets automatically converted to AIC to make it editable (=no 'native' AVCHD editor on Mac). what happens to progressive footage on export? No idea.. (lack of AVCHD files......)
    that 'cheap' deinterlacer was meant for the QT-Deinterlacer feature: you can double any odd line to create 'progressive'; or, on professional equip, a DI would 'blend' the odd and even lines into two 'inbetween' lines..
    Don't hesitate to perform your own tests, free tool JES Deinterlacer http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html - it uses that 'blending' techniqué.. does NOT rely on the Quicktime engine..
    so, iMHD6/FCE3.5 is of no use for your device; iM08 could probably do weird things on export.. test it and share your insights, screen shots preferred..

    Elisabeth, There are TWO Peters currently participating here (and if you're really lucky we have a couple more who might show up    ). It was the other one who suggested campatibility mode. My recollection is that you would need to right click on the program executable file after installation and choose properties, then the compatibility tab. Windows might ask you about compatibility during or just after the install, too, if it detects a problem. If you want to send me a file, you can send me a link via Private Message.

  • Is it possible to move files from corrupted sectors hard drive to a replacement one?

    My 2011 macbook pro was recently diagnosed with bad sectors. I am looking to get a replacement hard drive, probably a  750 or 1 tb Seagate SATA. Do you think that is sufficient? I do not play games or do anything memory intensive. The most I do is watch a lot of movies.
    Also, is it possible to move files from a corrupted sectors hard drive to the replacement? If so, how would I go about doing this?
    Also, for the operating system, it is probably wrong, and can't check since my Mac pro won't get past half way on the start up loading screen.

    Try a sector copy with CCC and enable using checksum file copy to insure integrity.
    Then Data Rescue 4 - try demo before buying
    Do a full erase of a drive before reusing.
    Invest in SoftRAID.com going forward as it "looks for" weak sectors, alerts.
    Also Google around but SMART Utility has been mentioned as an excellent program/utility -
    When a drive has used any of its spare blocks from when it ships is #1 indicator of being time to replace.
    And of course always have multiple backup sets, methods and know how to use and restore from. Even do a practice set. I would not use just TimeMachine for instance.
    And for some, only a mirror array (minimum two but really consider three drive mirror, with stripe reads to improve performance) can allow pulling one, add a new member and still have a two drive mirror.
    Cloud storage for backup. With OneDrive and Facebook backing up all the photos on all your devices, Macs and PCs as well as tablets and phones, you can have 100-200GB quite easily. And there is Google Drive and Amazon as well as others.
    A new data drive, a drive to do all  the recovery of files that were on the failed drive(s), and probably a clean system drive and use that as you recover and build your system back up.

  • How to get best possible quality ?

    Hey whats up!
    I wonder how can i get a best possible quality out of After Effects? I dont care about size , i just want best quality.
    Every time i record PC gameplay then i edit a little bit on After effects , but when i render it it loses some quality and when i upload on Youtube its not even 1080p. I mean i have option in youtube to watch it in 1080p but quality is not 1080p! Any advice?
    Thanks!

    At the moment, this isn't about "quality", this is about horizontal and vertical dimensions of the video, and guess what?  You don't even MENTION them! Maybe you ought to try looking up those properties of your video clips and reporting back in.....

  • Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop

    Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop can I put all the dated folders into one single folder

    Drag and drop should do the job. Or move the files (or folders) in your operating system and then re-link via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
    Yes, you can put all the dated folders into a single folder (but if you plan to do this, then don't try move the files using your operating system and re-link)
    Export most definitely isn't the solution.

  • Best possible quality PAL video to lowest possible file size

    I have sort of a problem with exporting from FCP because the filesize is way to large to accept: I have a 17 minute long film shot in PAL CCIR 601 with stereo sound that I want to export to a videofile to share with friends. I would like to have full resolution but to limit the filesize to at least 500MB. I am now at around 3-4 GB and that's way too large.
    And so I tried export the video through Compressor (I don't have that much experience in that program by the way), but all I got there was an extremely slow responding file with m2v file extension. So what I am looking for is a file containing (of course) both video and audio to a file format that they can watch. That'll be .avi, .mov or something. And I really want full resolution because that's what professional video editing is all about - high quality movie and not end up with a picture quality that is lower than when you started.
    I also tried - just to mention - the H.264 codec from FCP but the file size didn't help really much. I tried to limit the Data rate to 5000Kbps and lower the resolution to 50% - then I got a 950MB file or so.
    Any help!

    You can use the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com] to make H264 videos. It works with the QuickTime codecs you already have so results will be the same.
    Experimenting with the data rate settings will display an estimate of the finished file size in the export window. You can also enable the preview window to see how things will look.

  • How can I export 1080i in best possible quality for internet streaming?

    Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable about this but I have Final Cut 6.0.4 and use/captured in HD-1080i. What's the best possible way to export this in great quality for internet streaming? What dimensions should I use? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

    ok i used h.264 main profile with 10 mbps and i am using multipass and size is 1280x720. i tried 24 and 30 key frames. quality is still lower
    iv been experimenting on a 1.5 minute video to save time.  I imported the project from imovie into fcpx and changed nothing.  looking at the file that was created by imovie for the same video it is 1280x720 and uses codecs h.264 and aac the file size is 115 mb the extension is .mov and the color profile is HD (1-1-1) and total bitrate is 10,512 kbps. and the quality is the minimum acceptable for me.
    The file i created using your settings above in compressor 4 is 118 mb and of lower quality. codecs used are h.264, aac, and Hint (not sure what hint is but noticed it isn't used with the .mov file) color prile is the same as above. total bitrate is 10,405 kbps.
    Im not arguing that compressor 4 should be able to surpass imovie but so far i have only been able to do it by making the file size rediculous (>50 gb for 30 minutes).  I created a movie that was recorded with the same camera (25 mbps) 1080p 1920x1080. imovie made this 40 minute video just under 3 gb and with the same quality as the movie i am experimenting with.
    There is a differnce between theory and practice. SO FAR THE RESULTS I AM SEEING IS THAT IMOVIE IS SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO SIZE RATIO. imovie has very few options but the hd setting has surpassed what i have been able to do with fcpx.
    i am willing to try any settings that anyone sugests.
    personally i think i will try to export the movie at max quality then take the super large file to my windows laptop and convert to avi.  as in the past i have had much success with that format using divx. i realize that that is not the best method but i don't really want to spend hours re editing this video with imovie since the source footage is about 10 hours.
    Thanks for trying still_learning but i am afraid you are still learning.

  • What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

    I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
    iMac Intel DuoCore   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
    1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
    2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
    I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
    I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
    There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

  • Best settings for .mov files on a Data CD or DVD ?

    Hi,
    I have a series of sequences in FCP. I want to export them as .mov files and .wmv flies to be played off a data CD or DVD. They are essentially talking heads with a few cut away shots about 5 min each.
    I'm finding that when I save them as "high" quality .mov & .wmv files through "Export / Quicktime Compression", they don't play smoothly off the CD. Compression too high I guess?
    Can someone recommend some settings for me? Somewhere to start and I can tweak... I'd like to keep the viewing window as large as possible. Some of the streaming settings are too small.
    I have Flip4Mac installed for making the .wmv files. Suggestions there are welcome too.
    Cheers,
    P

    Nevermind.
    I just found out Snow Leopard can only write HFS+ on CD and DVD for data.
    I have a utility called "Burn" that is freeware and it lets me choose the filesystem - including Joliet and hybrid.

  • Whats the best way to move files from a hard drive that wont boot?

    I made a bootable USB disk and it appears to work fine. I can still read and open files on the old disk (admin account only) from the new USB drive the old one doesn't boot. I don't have a backup but would like to move files to the USB and then reformat the old drive. 
    Whats the best way to capture the data?
    There are four user accounts on the old drive. Only one on the new drive so far. Do I need to set up four accounts on the new drive in order to copy data from each?

    Time Machine is for making backups and restoring ones it previously created. It doesn't restore data backed up or copied in other ways. In your case, it's better to use a cloning utility or manually drag the files than it is to use Time Machine.

  • Best way to move files to new computer?

    Struggling to move about 10,000 files from my old computer to new computer. PSE10 in both computers running on windows 7 pro. Trying to use an external hard drive, but ending up with some empty folders; and the pop up says the images are already in the catalogue. I see all the files in explorer but can't get all of them visible in all folders?
    Would I have done better connecting each computer directly?
    Basically I'm asking what is the best method to copy/move files when upgrading to a new computer?

    That is what I tried first with my Seagate external hard drive, but it would not allow restore on a different computer. It seems Seagate requires purchase of additional program to allow sharing to a different computer. So I tried using my older Lacied external hard drive with only 80gb which is less than my total catalogue size; so I could not do a simple backup and restore; so I manually dragged and dropped what would fit, ending up with the missing folders I mentioned. I just did a reconnection of files and think I finally have all folders full.
    So Seagate was a waist of money. What external hard drives work well for a backup and restore, as you suggest? Or does someone else have some other recommendations?

  • Bad quality mov files

    Hello everybody,
    Since the last update to Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 I get a bad quality of movies. They are a bit "bumpy". It feels like every few minutes a few frames are missing. The movies are not running "smoothly" anymore. (Especially the MOV files are bad). I never had this before.
    Is there someone familiar with this problem?
    Hans Lijnbach

    I use Wondershare to convert files, because FCPX does not reed most formats. I convert files with Wondershare to MP4, so that FCPX can read the files, and I am able to make changes. After changing the files I export them to MOV or M4V so that iTunes or Apple TV can read the files. Almost all files are H.264 with AC3 surround sound. After conversion with Wondershare they are H.264 with AAC suurond sound. (M4V or MOV).
    Wondershare is reliable. If I convert the files with Wondershare directly to MOV of M4V, I don't have any problems. The only thing is, Wondershare is just a converter, and I can not make changes with Wondershare. That is why I use FCPX.
    Sorry for my late response, but that is becuase of the time lap. (Netherlands).
    Anyhow, thanks for your effort.
    Hans
