Best setting for exporting my fcp6 sequence for DVD

Hello,
So I imported all my footage from an HD Cam into FCP 6... it gave all my clips the apple pro res 22 codec, with the 1440x1080 setting
I cut the sequence... and now I'm ready to get her onto a DVD.
When I go to export, what are my best options? I'm going to play the cut on an HD tv.
Thanks

What kind of TV you play back isn't as important as the media and player. What kind of player (DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD) is it? To what kind of disc are you burning, (SD) DVD or HD-DVD? Also, how long is your sequence?

Best setting to export an HDV sequence to Encore

I have a sequence in a Premiere CS3 project (HDV NTSC preset) and I want to export it to Encore. What is the best setting to export a movie to be imported by Encore?
As a test I have exported it as DV NTSC (720 x 480) but final quality is poor.

Are you planning on burning a BD Project, or do you want to down-rez to SD?
Good luck,

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.

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?

Compressor setting for DVD Studio Pro

What's the best Compressor (v.3.5.3) setting for DVD burning in DVD Studio Pro?
I used DVD: Best Quality 90 but the DVD burned via DVDSP plays on a Mac but not on DVD players and PCs.
The DVDSP log contains this line for each of the four video and audio assets:
Note: The file ‘<filename>-MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass.m2v’ found in the ‘Final edits’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.

Message means nothing. It could be the brand of DVD media you're using. Have you tried it on set top DVD players?

What is the best setting for exporting an HD sequence as DV?

I want to make sure that my end product is the highest quality and for some reason I don't think I am getting it. when I play it on my big screen, it doesn't look sharp.
I am doing a project weekly that has 3 movies; one is nothing but pictures trasitioning to music. The second is a corporate TV 30 second spot that I converted to a .mov file (it came to me as a super huge .wmv file). The third is high def with photos to music.
For some reason, when I put all three in the same time line, it freezes FCP. (I guess that is another thread....) So I am doing all three in separate timelines, then bringing them all into DVD Studio Pro.
I do the clips 1 and 3 in HD, but have to export them as apple pro res 422 1280x480 30 because if I go "current settings", it makes it a HD .mov. The reason I don't want this is because in DVD Studio, I can't have 2 HD clips and 1 that is not. (I posted that problem in that forum and figured out that was the reason why the DVD wasn't playing)
So my question: am I down grading this HD sequence the best way? Here are the sequence's settings:
frame size: 1440x810
pixel aspect ratio: hd (1440x1080)
field dom: Upper (odd)
editing timebase: 29.97
Quicktime Video setting: compressor hdv 1080i60
Also, the fact that a 7 minute movie is only taking 10 minutes to render makes me nervous.......
Thanks in advance!

Aubry,
why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

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 slideshow

Whats the best setting to set a slideshow of still pictures too, im not sure which compression type either, ive made a few before thru iMovie but id like to use quicktime pro and change screen size (320X240 if possible) for the web, and trying to make it the smallest file size as i can. Any help would be appreciated.
I should say im exporting the iMovie file (saved as, for the web setting in iMovie) to change the screen size in quicktime 7.0.4 if anyone needs that info

Actually you're in the wrong forum and should re-post here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
Nonetheless, I'll just pass on these comments about slide shows – FWIW.
My preference is to edit then in a 720p timeline. I find they scale down better from 720 than from 1080 – fewer artifacts, especially when doing pans and zooms. And often these are going to DVD, which means considerable additional down scaling.
Size them in PS (or the editor of your choice) the same as your sequence settings. If you do have moves (pans zooms) then double the size (ie, 2160X1440).
Good luck.

Best setting for a big screen projection?

Hey,
I'm working on a project that is supposed to be screened on a big screen (I assume something like a small movie theater screen) and I was wondering - what would be the best settings when exporting for something like that? If I compressed it with h.264 but still kept it HD 1440x1080 would that be good enough for a big screen projection or would it be too compressed? I am working in Apple ProRes, the video is about 4 minutes long and when I export it with current settings - it comes out to be about 5.5GB (most of the footage I used was old archived videos though) and I'm trying to get it down to about 2GB so I can send it over the internet.
Anyone out there ever exported a movie for a movie theater before?

David Harbsmeier wrote:
a data dvd as well just to be safe
How do you know that the playback system will have the codec needed to play your file?
Anyone by any chance know of a free software that can split the 5.5GB across multiple data dvds?
Why not use a dual-layer DVD?
David's suggestion makes sense, but if you really want to know...
You can break up large files into smaller segments using the Terminal command "Split".
In the following example, we will break a short (imaginary) movie, "MyFilm.mov" into 5MB pieces, in this form it could be sent piece by piece via email, without blocking the recipients mailbox for everything else.
Place the file to be split onto the desktop (this keeps it simple, otherwise you will have to "cd" to the directory where your movie resides)
Open Terminal and...
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return
TYPE: *split -b 5000k MyFilm.mov* and press return
This will produce a number of files on your desktop named xaa, xab, xac and so on. There is a way to retain the original name or rename the file to something else but I don't have documentation on this at hand.
The "5000k" part of the command is the size of the individual split files (in this case, the file will be broken into pieces of approx. 5MB each
Depending on the files total size you might want to break it into say, 50MB pieces - substitute "50m" for "5000k" in this case. This also saves you from having to type all those zeros!
These days, you are more likely have a movie several Gigabytes in size - as an example, the DV format uses 13GB of disk space for an hour of video. Prepare those files for burning to multiple CDs by typing "650m" after the split -b command.
This may take some time to process, depending on the size of the resulting files, how much RAM you have and the speed of your Mac.
At some point, your emailed or archived files will need to be re-assembled into a viewable movie. So....
Rejoin a set of split files:
Place all the files "xaa", "xab" etc, that are to be rejoined, onto the desktop
(keep it simple, remember...)
In Terminal;
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return
Type *cat x* > MyFilm.mov* and press return. Again, this may take some time, depending on the size of the resulting files.

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.
