Best setting for 3D content for Flash

Hello all. I am a Premiere noob that works in Cinema 4D.  I am exporting C4D  animations as QuickTime "animation" files. (.mov)  These videos are highly  detailed pixel-precise renders. I want to bring them into Premier with this  level of pixel precision, yet I cant seem to find the correct setting to ensure  they import and play back "ice cold." They tend to look slightly blurry in the  preview. The renders are for a specific flash size and are set to 874x480.
Can someone help me with the correct setting for the movie? Please... The  content is so beautiful, I don't want to sacrifice any quality. I have the  latest version of PP. Thank you for any help you can give.

Thanks for the help sir.  This is actually for a huge project. I'll post the  link here in a week or so.  Be sure to check it out.  We're all good now.  Ice  cold.  - No blurriness.  Its too bad I was able to do this years ago without any  issue.  Video codec's and technology sure have changed drastically in the past  few years.  There's a real learning curve for those who are not daily users.
-B
A side note I learned in this process: Cinema 4D users should not export their Quciktime (.mov) files from Premiere Pro as Uncompressed AVI.  It just screws up the pixel precision. Not sure why.  Just use the old school .avi and the advice above. The renders will be perfect.

  • Best way of storing content for home network?

    I have a 3rd gen Apple TV and a family with numerous iPada, iPhones and Macs. We also have a finite limit on our internet data consumption. I'm looking for the best way of managing my kids' movie downloads so that they don't keep downloading the same movies to different devices, consuming our data allowance in the process.
    Ideally I'm looking for a way of connecting a hard disk to the wireless network so that we can download direct to that, using one of our macs or iPads, and then have the Apple TV stream from there. But that seems harder than it should be, if not impossible. At the moment we all have our individual libraries on our devices but often both kids want the same movies so that means the same movies getting downloaded twice.
    Using family sharing we can share each other's purchases but each family member has to end up with their own copy of the movie in their library on at least one of their devices if they want to watch it, which means downloading multiple times.
    Is there a way of achieving a home network with a core storage device shared amongst the family members which can be used both for streaming to iPads and appletv?
    Thanks
    James

    Thank you Rudegar that is helpful. I hadn't realised that you could get an iOS app to control a NAS, so that could fix it for me.
    Can multiple users with different libraries store their movies on the same NAS? And would any user then be able to play a movie stored on the NAS by using AirPlay to stream it to the AppleTV?
    What NAS would you recommend?
    Many thanks, James

    Dear Srinivas,
    I've already run a systemtrace to find out the tables:
    The following tables are involved: MPOS, MMPT, MPLA and MHIO, MHIS.
    In BI-Content I just find MPOS in the DataSource 0PM_MAINTPOS_ATTR and 0PM_MAINTPOS_TEXT. That is ok for master data.
    The other tables I couldn't find in BI-Content.
    But maybe the BI-Content does not use these tables. Maybe there is used a view which I don't see in the trace.

  • In iLife08 what is best setting to convert avi 720 and digital video 1080i

    What is the bottom line for best quality for 720 p TV.
    1.) My import is digital video 1080i to i Movie 08 (full quality)
    What should I use for sharing on AppleTV
    - the preset Large (which is 960x 540)
    - or some custom setting 25 fps at 1220x 720? ( H.264 display dimensions at 24/25 fps is 720p (1280x720) ) - or what should the setting be??
    2.) Have Windows avi older 720 *480 video, what is best setting to convert this for Apple TV? The 640 setting on QuickTime premium is not very good
    Thank you so much. Peter

    Your best option if you are using NTSC footage in imovie is the export to/movie large (960 x 540) at 30 fps, the resolution won't go any higher and still work on the tv. Don't even think about changing the framerate to 24/25 fps, even though you'll be able to export to 720p (1280 x720) changing the framerate will make your video jerky.
    If you are using PAL then yes you could export to 720p (even though the specs say 24 fps, 25 fps does in fact work as well), you could try a few tests yourself but I've already done them and IMHO there is so little difference between 960 x 540 and 1280 x 720 that it isn't worth messing about setting up and trying several manual exports to get the best results when you can click one button and be done.
    So far a AVI conversion is concerned, I'd try mpegstreamclip, but saying that I can't really be sure. AVI is a container not a codec and I would need to know what codec is actually used inside the container to answer your question properly (Quicktime may tell you though). The problem with AVI is that it is simply so old (even microsoft abandoned it over 10 years ago), unfortunately in a small number of cases some of the codecs that were used in AVI are simply no longer able to be converted. Probably not so likely but at least you are warned.

  • Users group for View not for publish

    Hi guys,

    It's something like to create Contribute roles, but is not
    related with the permission levels to publish, but with the
    visualization permissions for exclusivy content, for ex.:

    You cannot restrict on the users to view a particular folder
    (say IT
    dept) using contribute. Infact there is a setting in IIS
    Webserver which
    allows you to set an Authentication mechanism where users
    when browsed
    to any site on your webserver will be prompted for username
    and password.
    But you might want to try something like this.. not sure if
    this will
    help you...
    1. Create 4 connections in contribute
    a) first connection to "Open for all users" directory on
    your webserver.
    b) second connection to "IT Department" directory on your
    webserver.
    c) third connection to "Directory dept"... etc
    2. This way you can administer 4 sites and send connection
    keys to them
    accordingly...
    Hope this helps.

  • Alternate content for Flash area

      Hi.  Could someone give me the simplist, yet working method to display alternate content if Flash isn't installed?
      What I have is a website with a Flash header that has the navigation buttons as part of the Flash animation.
      What I TRIED to do is have it so that if Flash isn't installed, it displays an image, plus HTML nav buttons (to replace the Flash nav buttons in the SWF that is not there now).
      I did this with a <noembed> tag... but testing it on an IPhone (...the bane of my existance...), it didn't work, and had nothing in the 'window' where the swf would normally be.  The <noembed> doesn't appear to work... unless I did it wrong, which is entirely possible, as it's already baffling having THREE methods of embedding (<object>, <embed> and javascript) present.
      I COULD just put HTML buttons on the main body (but I quite like the animated Flash nav buttons I have in the SWF, and that would mean two sets of nav buttons, one under the other, which looks dumb..... So, I'd have to have a sytem where it's one or the other.... HTML buttons or Flash buttons in the swf....  which is what I tried, but it didn't work.
      Looking up the subject online, I found lots of very intricate coding that just made my head spin.  I would rather not use coding that I didn't at least partically understand... in case something is not working, etc.
      Could someone outline the easiest and best method to do this:
      If the SWF doesn't show (Flash not installed/supported), it shows the image and HTML buttons (all within the window that the swf would normally be in).
      Please give me the complete, idiot-proof explanation, as vague ones will probably go over my head, as my scripting knowledge is weak, at best... (assuming this involves scripting).
      Would the <noembed> not work, or might it be that it is placed in the wrong spot or something?
      Here's the code I have (...as far as the content of the table cell, which is normally the swf, but attempts to load the image 'noflashheader.jpg' and the html buttons if needed):
    <td width=920 height=120>

  • Best Practises for using Content Types

    We had third party vendor who migrated and re structured contents and sites in Sharepoint 2010. I noticed one unusual thing : In most cases they new separate site content types for every library in a site i.e. even if two libraries contain same set of metadata
    columns they created separate site content types by duplicating it from the first one and gave it unique name and used in second library.
    My point of view for content type is that they are used for re usability, i.e. if another library is needing same set of metadata columns then I would just reuse existing content type rather than creating another content type with different name by inheriting
    it from the first one and having same set of columns.
    When I asked vendor reason for this approach (for every library they created new content types and for libraries needing same set of meta data columns they just inherited from a custom site content type and created another duplicate one with same set of
    meta data columns and gave it different name in most cases name of library ) they said they did that to classify documents which I did not agree with because by creating two document libraries classification is already done.
    I need some expert advice on this, I will really appreciate: I understand content types are useful and they provide re usability but,
     A) Do we need to create new site content types whenever we create new library ? (Even though we are not going to re use them)
    B) What is best practice : if few libraries are needing same set of metadata columns
    1) Create site a content type and reuse it in those libraries ? or
    2) Create a site content type and create new content types by inheriting from site content type created at first and just give them different name even though all of them are having same set of columns  ?
    I need expert advice on this but following is my own opinion on this
    I do not think point A) is a good practice and should not be used, we should create site content type only when we think it will be re used and we do not need to create site content type every time we create document library. Also I do not think point 2)
    of B is a good practice as well
    Dhaval Raval

    It depends on the nature of the content types and the libraries. If the document types really are shared between document libraries then use the same ones. If the content types are distinct and non overlapping items that have different processes, rules or
    uses then breaking them out into a separate content type is the way forward.
    As an example for sharing content types: Teams A and B have different document libraries. Both fill in purchase orders, although they work on different projects. In this case they use the same form and sharing a content type is the no question approach.
    As an example for different content types: A company has two arms, a consultancy where they send people out to client sites and a manufacturing team who build hardware. Both need to fill in timesheets but whilst the metadata fields on both are the same the
    forms are different and/or are processed in a different manner.
    You can make a case either way, i prefer to keep the content types simple and only expand out when there's a proven need and a user base with experience with them. It means that if you wanted to subdivide later you'd have more of a headache but that's a
    risk I generally think works out.

  • Best setting for my set of devices

    I would like to know what would be the best settings to get the maximum throughput for my set of devices.
    Last night both Airport Extreme and Airport Express were updated with firmware to 7.5.2
    1) Upstairs I have an Airport Extreme. Newer version with 2.4gz and 5ghz bands. This is connected to my AT&T Uverse router/modem. My iMac is ethernet connected to the Airport. Running speed tests I get almost the expected speeds of 12mbs download and 1.5mbs upload.
    I had setup a 2.4ghz network and a 5ghz network but may not have used the best settings for my environment.
    2) Downstairs is an Airport Express. I is a "n" version
    3) Connected to the Airport Express via ethernet is a small ethernet hub and connected to that are 2 Dishnetwork 722 DVRs. Each 722 has a Sling Adapter to allow viewing the contents over the internet via iPhone, iPad or web browser. This was the goal for the Express, to supply that info.
    Getting max speed out of this Express is important to get the DVRs output out of my house and to my iPad or iPhone.
    4) These are the following devices that are connecting at the house via wifi:
    a) iPhone 4
    b) iPhone 3g
    c) Apple TV newest model and is downstairs next to the Airport Express
    d) iPad
    e) Macbook Air first generation and this is used downstairs in the same room as the Airport Express
    Using Airport Utility it appears that all devices show 80211.n and 5ghz except the iphone 3G, which shows 802.11 b/g AND shows it attached to the Airport Express even when I'm next to the Extreme.
    From the Airport Utility, I've seen the values fluctuate but here is what shows Signal, Rate and Noise for each device as a snapshot on the Airport Extreme
    iPhone 4 -44, -96, 65
    Airport Express -59, -96, 144
    Apple TV -70, -96, 52
    iPad -50, -96, 65
    Macbook Air -24, -96, 216
    Using the Airport Utility, the Airport express show these values
    iPhone 3G -66, -85, 54
    Airport Extreme -54, -86 104
    Let me know if you need any other details.

    Any advice on the best Airport Utility settings for the Extreme and the Express?
    The default settings work very well, so unless you have a specific reason to change them, I would stay with those settings
    Should the Express extend a network or join a network?
    "Extend" provides more wireless coverage in the area where the Express is located. "Join" provides better bandwidth if you are using only for iTunes, etc. Most users want more wireless coverage.
    If I were to extend at network, should the Express extend to the 5ghz or the 2.4ghz
    If you have good signal strength at the location of the Express, 5 GHz will support up to 270 Mbps bandwidth. 2.4 GHz will support up to 130 Mbps. You want as much bandwidth as you can get for high definition video performance if you are using wireless. If you have an option to connect the DVRs using ethernet, that will provide the best performance.
    The iPhone would have to connect back to your main router if you set the Express up for 5 GHz. It is not easy to extend 5 GHz. You literally have to have very close to a line of sight situation between the main router and the Express for this to work.
    If I were to get another Extreme, should it join or extend the network on the Extreme upstairs.
    The Extreme does not really do anything if you set it up to "join". The ethernet ports are not active. All you would be able to do with the device in this setting is attach a printer or hard drive to the USB port.
    Any documents that would explain the best choices for linking 2 Extremes together?
    Apple AirPort Networks is a very good guide.
    If you are linking two routers together, an ethernet connection is always the "best" way to do this because it provides maximum bandwidth performance. Up to 1000Mbps with ethernet. "Extending" using wireless only can work well if the "extending" AirPort receives a very strong wireless signal. Ideally, there would be a line-of-sight situation between the devices or close to that ideal.

  • New iPhone user needs guidance setting up 4 iPhones for family - best approach?

    Hi - I'm a new iPhone user tasked with setting up 4 iPhones for family (three 4S, one 3GS). I set up the first 4S using my mother's existing Apple ID (she has an iPad) and I think (hope) hers is fine. When I set up my father's phone, my sister said to enter my mother's Apple ID during setup since they wanted to use a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. The setup screen I'm referring to the 7th screen into the setup process for a new iPhone 4S (after the Welcome, Language, Country/Region, Location Services, Wi-Fi Networks, and Set Up iPhone screens), where it asks you to "Sign In with an Apple ID" or "Create a Free Apple ID". This screen was where I entered my mother's Apple ID into my father's phone.
    By entering my mother's Apple ID on my father's phone at this point during setup, I seem to have created a "clone" of her phone - their phone numbers are distinct and they can call each other but iMessages sent to either of them initially appeared on BOTH phones. I think I have now fixed that by creating a separate Apple ID for my father after the fact and entering it under Settings>Messages. Thinking I could also enter his new Apple ID under Settings>iCloud, I found I could not change it from my mother's Apple ID (it's greyed out). I saw a recommendation in another post to click on the red "Delete Account" button at the bottom, but will that delete my mother's entire account or only its association with my father's phone?
    Backing up a step or two, I'm worried that at this point I should have entered/created a new Apple ID on screen #7 during initial setup of my father's phone (instead of entering my mother's Apple ID), and that just changing settings in iMessage, iCloud, etc. won't really fix any problem(s) I've created. I hesitate to set up the other two phones before knowing how badly I've already messed things up with this one.
    During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
    If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?
    Without knowing what might be the best way to set up these 4 new iPhones, I was thinking the four unique users of these new phones would most likely want to share apps (by purchasing them with one Apple ID), backup/synch to one computer, but maintain separate iCloud accounts so everyone's info is private? I've spent time reading other posts and see so many different recommendations for families with multiple devices that my head is spinning. Many include questions from folks migrating from older phones or MobileMe. I think my situation is simpler in that there are 4 new iphones and one existing Apple ID. Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists? Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases? Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
    So sorry to have to ask such basic questions. Many thanks, in advance, for any guidance provided to help me not make any (more?) mistakes during setup that will be a real headache to remedy later, once everyone has started using their phones.

    Hi edgefield,sorry you're having so much trouble.
    FIRST CREATE A BACKUP ON YOUR COMPUTER -ALWAYS BEFORE PLAYING WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE PHONES (it prevents losses)
    Now I'll answer your questions)
    During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
    Yes.  Create his own apple id and sign him in.  then tap settings ->store -> tap on the account name -> sign out.
    Then sign in your fathers apple id.  (create your fathers apple id on the computer, its much easier, trust me).
    If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?##
    No.  Tap settings -> icloud, and turn everything off (keep on the phone option).  Then DELETE ACCOUNT (it's got red around it and at the bottom of the screen if you scroll down).  You cannot sign out of iCloud, you can only delete the account.  Then clean up the contacts and information on the phone. 
    Then you tap settings -> iCloud and sign in.  Put your fathers apple id in the section.  His information will be uploaded to www.icloud.com.  Then go to www.icloud.com and sign in with his apple id.  Make sure his information is uploaded (you'll have to select timezone and such). 
    From that point you are fine except for iMessage.
    For iMessage to function properly, only one apple id can be signed into the iTunes store (settings -> store).  If they are both signed into the same apple id on the iTunes store, than you need to turn off iMessage on one of the phones.  The iMessage may be delievered to either phone when both are signed in under the same apple id in the iTunes store.
    tap settings -> messages -> imessage off 
    This also disables facetime.  If you want them to have iMessage and Facetime, they have to have seperate apple id's signed into the iTunes store.
    Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists?
    Not that I've seen, will consider creating one if I have time.
    Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases?
    Your best bet is to create each apple id on the computer (keyboards are easier to use) and then sign them each in during the creation process.  Then change the iTunes store info to the stored apple id.
    This will allow each person to serpate iClouds without interfering with each others Cloud as you set up new devices.
    Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
    Doing it this way can cause problems (or used to, not sure if it still does), initially, when you set it up, it wants to create a backup or upload the blank info to iCloud.  You are better off setting up their own apple id first and signing in with that, and then changing it in the iTunes store.
    I'm off to bed, I'll check this thread tomorrow and see if you have any more questions/problems.  Remember, always create a back-up before you do anything.
