Best rendering settings to play h264 smoothly on a tablet?

I have fiddled around with the settings so much but just cannot find the right settings to render h264 video that will play smoothly on a tablet without pausing so much that it makes viewing pointless. (I am using with JWPlayer, by the way.)
Any suggesttions?

First off, a minor matter of terminology. In Premiere Pro, "rendering" typically refers to processing all or part of a timeline to yield smoother playback. I gather that what you're speaking of is exporting, also known as encoding.
Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder have about 50 presets tailored to encoding video for playback on tablets. Finding them through the Export Settings dialog can be a drag, so I recommend using AME's Preset Browser, which allows you to filter the whole preset library down to those of interest. In your case, search for "tablet" or perhaps "iPad." For more info about the power of AME's Preset Browser, see post #2 here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5950546#5950546

Best rendering settings for my specs?

I have been digging around the internet and toying with the settings others have suggested for after effects, but not quite gotten what i want. I do have the secret options checked and purged the memory use from previews and whatnot.
my machine has an i7 2600k oc'd to 4.4, 8 gb of ram and a geforce 560 ti...
however i cant seem to get a render to work at all (or incredily slow) unless i have opengl render checked. and while that options isnt too bad, i'm not making much use of my comps power. At best i'm using all all 8 cores at about 15-20% and the gpu isnt seeing much more stress on it than that.
any suggestings would be greatly appreciated

There is no way to enforce anything beyond a certain point. Rendering performance depends on what goes on in the project, what effects are used etc.. Slow disks will hamper footage I/O, temporal calculations will turn off MP rendering and make thing generally slower and encoding to specific formats wil ldo the same. So in short, you are looking for a simple answer that doesn't exist. in fact settings may need to be adjusted with every new project. Anyway, read this.

Best Bitrate settings for laptop DVD play?

This is a question about what encoding bitrate settings are best when customers will play DVDs on laptops as well as DVD players. I've been using variable bitrate encoding and settings of min 2.8, target 5 and max 6 and that seems to work well on the test laptops I'm using. However, the slowest is a pentium 4, which is faster than some of the older laptops still in use. I just read that using a constant bitrate will make it easier for a wide range of players to accept a DVD because the device (or software) has to make fewer calculations when playing the DVD. I've been using VBR because it was recommended for higher quality when transferring HD to SD.
I make educational DVDs that are sometimes played by teachers on laptops. Any suggestions on the best compromise settings that will maintain decent quality and still make it as easy as possible for a range of laptops to play the finished DVD?
In Adobe CS5, I'm currently encoding from 1080p HD to SD from Permiere to Encore using these settings in the media encoder:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
PRESET: NTSC Progressive Widescreen High Quality
Maximum Render Quality
VBR 2 pass
Minimum bit rate: 2.8
Target bitrate 5
Maximum bitrate 6
GOP SETTINGS
M frames 3
N frames 15
Audio preset of 48 kh and PCM 16 bit
Multiplexing = NONE
The quality on the finished DVDs looks quite good. I understand CBR will degrade the quality some. I thought I'd get some input and suggested settings before burning tests using CBR. Is it even worth it to burn CBR at the bitrate settings I'm using?
Finally, I will have the DVDs professionally replicated.
Thanks

If the laptop has a DVD player in it, you have to assume the hardware is fully capable of the full DVD spec, which means VBR up to 10 Mb/s
I think you're worried over nothing. Just make the DVDs as you have been.

Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

What are the best export settings to use...

Operating system: Vista SP1
Camera: Canon HF100 (1900x1080 HD quality 29.97fps) -- uses AVCHD compression which is H.264 I believe.
I'm able to watch my camera video files in Vista nicely. However, I'm having trouble with the watching the results of my edited and exported videos. Assuming I want the same quality and playability as the source video, what settings should I use in the export?
In the export settings window... I select:
Format: H.264
Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
Source files have the extension: .m2ts
...I don't change the other values. Then I export. Now the result is an .mp4 file which does not play in Windows Media Player. It does play in Quicktime or iTunes however it plays jerkily... I would like to be able to play it as smoothly as the original source plays... And I'd like to be able to play it in windows media player just as the source can be played in media player. Media player seems to play the source more smoothly than does iTunes or Quicktime.
So what are the best export settings for me so that I can watch my edited HD video on my computer as easily as the source footage???
I've been able to edit and save the results of the edit using the crappy ImageMixer3 video editor that comes with the camera. The results are perfect and play in windows media fine. The files it exports the edited video as is the same as the soure... the file extension is .m2ts
So the problem is how to get Adobe to export the edited video to an .m2ts file or at least to a file type that plays as nicely in my system?

How to export video that plays back smoothly?

I have an HD project in Premiere Pro CS4 that is about 9 minutes. When I render out to Flash for the web, once it's all buffered it plays back real smooth. So the client wants a copy of the "file" to be played on his computer running Windows and Windows Media Player which he will attach to a large 55" flatscreen via HDMI at a trade show. I rendered out several different files ranging from .MOV to H.264 in various resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720p, 720x480 wide, iPod, etc.) and tested them on my Dell Inspiron i3 laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bit connected to my 46" tv via HDMI to simulate what the client would have.
The 1920 file was huge (2GB) as one would expect and plays back jerky
The 1280x720p .MP4 file was about 400mb which I was excited about, but plays back jerky
The other two (.MOV and .MP4) at 720x480 play back smoothly
So I'm guessing that it's either a disk / processor issue with playing back the larger files or combo of that and the graphics card or am I having an issue with the way the settings are set in the export options?
The box I'm producing the video on is a Mac i7 quad-core, 8GB RAM and a nice ATI card. The full rez versions of the files play fine on it. BluRay is out too. Don't have a burner and they don't have a player.
So what file format and settings can I render out that will yield smooth(er) results at larger resolutions for my intended output?
Thanks,
Steve

And the answer is.... converting the footage to WMV. Tada. I exported a nice huge HD 1920x1080 H.264 file and then used iSkysoft Video Converter to convert it to WMV. Now the only thing is that iSkysoft Coverter only allows 1280x720 as it's largest resolution for WMVs, but even so, the quality on a 46" LCD TV coming from a laptop via HDMI looks pretty sharp. The video was running very smooth (and it was running off a USB key <g>) to boot.
The file size of the original HD H.264 file: 9.02GB
The file size of the converted WMV: 437.5MB
All in all I'm happy with this breakthrough. I was "this" close to buying a BluRay burner, media and telling the client to use a BluRay player.
Now... I love what I got, but it could be better. Does anyone know of a good video converter that will convert WMVs to true HD resolution (1920x1080) or is that 1280x720 a WMV limit?
Thanks all,
Steve

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13?

Hello!
How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13? I definitely need cursor back to the "start play" point each time i hit stop (spacebar), like it works in Sony Vegas or in most of audio editing software. Can somebody help?
Thanks!

invasion 21
The following is a copy of the reply that I posted to your question earlier today in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum
invasion21
You are in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum. What is your program? Is that Premiere Elements 13? If so, you are in the wrong forum where
Premiere Pro answers may not be appropriate for your Premiere Elements (any version) question.
You are not going to find what you are looking for in Premiere Elements preference settings.
You write
I WANT it playhead jump back to start play position, when i hit spacebar for pause.
You can maneuver yourself into that through Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Applications/ and its Help category which by
default shows
Go to Timeline/Clip Start, using Home
and
Play/Pause Toggle, using Space
But, you may find it is best to leave well enough alone. Explore and experiment with changing the keyboard shortcuts for the commands and decide what works for you.

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!!

Best Export Settings for SD in Premiere Pro CS6?

I have some old SD footage in AVI format. My client wants the best quality that will play smoothly in his Windows PC. I tried Quicktime NTSC DV and I tried H.263, NTSC DV but both have jagged edges on all fast motion (aliasing). Any suggestions?

For PC playback, you always want Progressive (no fields), as interlaced video never works well for PC or web videos. I would recommend using H.264 and then there are many presets available. Look for a "480p" option and try a sample - some say Android, some say iPad, etc. but they will all play on a PC since it is just an .mp4 file. By choosing a preset with Progressive output, that will deinterlace the video.
Note that if the original video is widescreen, then you'll need to make sure that the export frame dimensions are 854x480 with square pixels (1.0 PAR) since anamorphic video usually doesn't display correctly.
The MPEG-2 previously mentioned may also be just fine, but H.264 is the newer and more efficient codec.

Now I'm confident about my buids.
red_menace,
Ok. That's what I was affraid about. So if I want to go further, I have to learn AppleScriptObjC.
But the learning curve…
I'm not a developper. Just a graphic designer.
Don't have the time to check out this link, but maybe the solution for a smooth transiton to AppleScriptObjC is there:

For my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints?

for my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints? I would like to have the best setting so when i print out the photos,i do not need to crop or trim. It is close, but i feel it can be better.

The bad news is that you can't do anything in camera to get that result. The good news is that once you understand the possibilities you'll appreciate being able to control how your prints get framed (cropped). Your camera produces images in a 3:4 ratio while a 4 X 6 is a 2:3 ratio so if you don't know in advance that you need to crop some from the top, bottom, or both to make your image fit the 2:3 ratio & frame too tightly when taking the photo you're in trouble. Learn to shoot in a way that allows cropping to match common print sizes, and find a simple editing program to crop in computer. This should be standard practice because even though you may want a 4 X 6 now down the road you might want a 5 X 7 so keep your options open.
If you don't have an editing program that easily does this & you're on a PC download Picasa which is an excellent program for this & it's free. Once you have it running select one of your existing photos, select "crop" from the menues on the first tab & then play around with the different options Picasa has built in to see the effects to your image. NOTE that it won't throw away the data outside the crop box even though it may look like it has. You always have the option to "undo crop". Once you get a result you like you "export" & create a new file cropped as seen on screen WITHOUT modifying the original file.

Best export settings for tv slideshow

what are the absolute BEST export settings to use when creating a slideshow to be played on a tv? additionally, i have used images with text & photos imported from illustrator.
i want slides to be of the highest quality, along with text that DOES NOT have a halo around it..

You can't ask for the 'absolute best' and then quality it. The absolute best is something lossless, but those files rarely play on anything but a computer. So you need something that plays on the TV, which isn't likely to be the absolute best. But...chances are it will be plenty good enough.
Use the H.264 format with the Match Source - High bitrate preset.
