Best setting for exportin a frame-based codec MOV?

Hello there,
I have been asked to provide a video (.mov file) in a format with a frame-based codec. I also need to make sure to export it in progressive at the original fps rate. But I am unsure which one would be the best format?
My project has an aspect ration of 16:9 at 25fps. When I try exporting for example with Compressor, it does not work. So I only have a chance to export using Quick Time Conversion.
The last one I used was HDV 1080p25. Is this one a frame-based codec format?
Thanks!

I would have to agree with you gogiangigo. Photo JPEG sounds like a very good idea for a lightweight i-frame only codec.
Here are some facts.
Photo JPEG @ 75% Quality
PhotoJPEG at its highest 100% quality setting is actually a 4:4:4 codec. When reduced down to 75%, it switches to 4:2:2 to help with the compression scheme. So why is it included here? The AJA Kona SD and Blackmagic Design DeckLink use this codec at 75% quality for its default offline compressed mode and with good reason. Virtually no banding in the gradients and average mosquito edging on the RGB colors. The compression artifacts are really only noticeable in the NTSC color bars and a little in the color filter test. And look at the x10 generation test... almost a pixel-perfect copy of the first generation! It actually passes through generations better than Kona's own 10-bit Trillions codec. Amazing! And look at that file size! Only 2.7 MB per second! That's better bandwidth (and way better quality) than DV can ever dream of. This codec truly can pass for an online codec with no problem. Best part is this codec is free to any QuickTime user, can be used on any platform and runs great even on PowerBooks.

What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

Hi!
I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
Thanks so much.
P.S: Sorry for my english!

I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
New Question: I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

Can you set up a key frame on a movie published through iPhoto on .Mac?

Does anybody know if you can set up a key frame on a movie published through iPhoto on .Mac? I mean the thumbnail for the movie...

lnbs:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not in iPhoto. I don't know if you can import the movie into iMovie and set a key frame that way. But that would include some additional encoding to get it out of iMovie and might degrade the quality.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

Hello,
I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
Thanks!

First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

Best setting for Canon VIXIA HF R21 for YouTube

I am looking for the best or most optimal setting for shooting video with my Canon VIXIA HF R21 camera.
I am using a MacBook Pro laptop and Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
My goal is to produce the best quality videos for a "YouTube" channel. The videos will be for a teenage car show shot outdoors and narrated.
The current DEFAULT settings are:
Recording Mode = SP, 1440x1080
Bitrate = 7Mbps
Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
Frame Rate = 60i
Digital Image stabilization = standard
Here are possible "alternative selections" - please let me know if any of these settings are better than the Default settings for YouTube.
Change Recording Mode to
1. MXP = 1920x1080 @ 24Mbps
2. FXP = 1920x1080 @ 17Mbps
3. XP+ = 1440x1080 @ 12 Mbps
Change Frame Rate to
1. PF30
Digital image stabilization
1. Dynamic
2. Standard
3. Off
I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video - what setting are the best upload compression settings if I want to upload for the ebst quality?

BillFlorida, I'm not sure what you're not getting here. Have you tried any of the things we've suggested?
There are two settings you need to worry about. One is your PROJECT setting. That must match your original footage, as I've indicated. If it doesn't, you're going to get poor performance and video quality.
The second setting is your OUTPUT setting. That's the only setting YouTube is interested in. If you use the output settings I linked you to above -- working from a project that's been set up properly -- you will get excellent YouTube results.
Try it. You'll see.
You'll also see, if you experiment a bit, that there's virtually no difference in the quality of FXP and MXP -- especially if you're going to display your video online. The important thing is that your PROJECT settings match that 1920x1080 AVCHD footage and that you use the YouTube output settings recommended in the FAQs.
Try it. You will see.

Best setting for gif animations

what is the optimal setting for animated gifs

Depends on your style and your training as an animator, and
what your project goals are: straight animation? interactivity?
e-cards? Traditional animators used to drawing frame-by-frame with
exposure sheets will feel more comfortable with Toon Boom Studio
(www.toonboom.com). It has far superior drawing tools and color
pallette management and timeline management than Flash. But if
you're used to Illustrator, that may make no difference to you. It
appears that the upcoming Flash CS4 will narrow the gap, as the
interface appears to include enhancements that will be more
familiar to traditional animators, not to mention IK, which Toon
Boom Studio doesn't have (the highly expensive Toon Boom Solo does
have it).
That said, I think Flash is a great program for creating
cartoon animation. You may not think you're interested in
ActionScript programming at this point. I use Flash mainly for
cartoon animation and I resisted ActionScript for a few years. But
once you get used to Flash as an animation tool, and then decide to
dip your little toe into ActionScript, you'll find out what an
astounding tool it is, even for traditional animation, enabling you
to do things impossible in more traditional-oriented programs. Plus
now Flash and Illustrator are fairly well integrated, so you'll be
able to import and export between the two.
On balance, I'd go for Flash.

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.

What is the best setting for compressing to a Window Media Player?

I now have the latest Compressor, just now need to figure out which is the best setting to use for compressing to a Windows Media Player. Does anyone know which is the best method?

I'd propose you buy a licence for Telestreams FLip4MAC (flipfactory) Quicktime components to enable ENCODING for HD and SD as you need. It works ok however none of my work requires specifics for windows player. I have a licence just the same.
If you have Flip4mac already installed, you can use the system preferneces panel to order a an ENCODER component licence. There may be others around as well.
You can just use compressor.app and change the inspector video to use "quicktime components/windows media encoder" in the batch job.. its pretty easy.

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.

Best setting for compressor-JVC Everio Hard Disc Camcorder Quicktime file?

Hi,
I am still having trouble figuring out why compressor is taking so long. Maybe I need to call Apple Support. I tried the web source setting-medium quality, but it is still taking 4+ hours, and continues to increase in length till completion. It is imported from fcp quicktime movie. What is the best setting to use ?#Agghh this is frustrating. I only want to upload this onto a file share web data base system, I don't even need to burn it to a DVD. Should I choose the H 2.6.. for iPod, the web source setting, or something else? These are just 1 hour/ 1 1/2 hour movies that fit on a 4.7 GB DVD before I imported them into fcp>now the fcp file has expanded up to 69GB. What is the deal? I re-installed fc studio. Any suggestions?

If a file from a DVD is now 69 GB then it must have been converted along the way from the original DVD.
How are you importing? What are the specs of the file? What is your work flow process?

Best Setting for Export

I am trying to figure out what setting I should use to export a movie using Export to Quicktime Movie. I want the best resolution for display on any type of TV. Most of the footage is 16x9 / 480P. What will give me the maximum quality? Thanks for the help!

You cannot add quality using an export or conversion.
Export QT/Current Settings/Self Contained/Audio and Video/No recompression.

Best setting for 1080i HD

I've been looking around on the web for a while now looking for the best solution to output my project for HD. I create commercials for a local TV station and we just started broadcasting HD commercials. What is the best setting to use when rendering? We transfer spots directly into a server for airing so it doesn't need to be compressed and put to other media first. Any help is appreciated!

We transfer spots directly into a server for airing so it doesn't need to be compressed and put to other media first.
But it is being compressed when sent, so ultimately there is little point in insisting doing it uncompressed in any way. Most HD broadcast's are MPEG-2 transport streams, some MPEG-4/ H.264, but which ones depends on the hardware the station uses. Anyway, most of these transcoders/ encoders will gladly swallow native MXF/ P2 files, MPEG-2 program streams or H.264 and be smart enough to merely conform/ transcode it without adding anotehr destructive compression pass. So, given you use sufficient dat rates, it should be safe to use any of those formats. Everything else is surely written somewhere in the encoder box' manual, so you may get better answers from the techs of the station.
