  • Best notebook for editing HD videos?

    I consider to buy a MacBookPro or MacBookAir. Which one is the best choice for editing HD videos?

    You don't want a MacBook Air, a 13" or a 2.0 Ghz 15" for professional work.
    You need the 2.2 Ghz 15" anti-glare, high res, MacBook Pro or better. (has the 1GB Radeon 6750M)
    The 17" is prefered because it's screen is 1920 x 1200, so 1080i (1920 x 1080 pixels) is WYSIWYG.
    You need the anti-glare because your going to be using it for professional work in many environments that you can't control the glare, you need to be able to see the entire screen.
    If your ordering online, get the 7,200 RPM drive. Else it's not that much difference from the 5,400 RPM store sold models. Get the 8GB of RAM installed right when you purchase and also AppleCare.
    Good luck.

  • Best strategy for ID based video source with a plugin

    Hi,
    What would be the best strategy to load a video file based on an ID instead of source URL.  The plugin would use a webservice to lookup the ID and retrieve the url for the video.  The ID would be passed to the player via a flashvar.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hello!
    I guess LoadFromDocumentElement would be optimal...
    SMIL plugin is based upon it - so you may want to refer to it.

  • Best setting for encoding flv video?

    What is the best, most universally accepted setting for encoding flv videos to be viewed over cable modem access?

    I completely understand.
    For print work, I did a lot of that with either Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy in Photoshop. Then, they added Layer Comps, and that cut down on the work, but allowed me to have several "treatments."
    Have not used that in PrPro though. I see the usefulness of the feature though.
    Yeah, clients are fond of saying, "really appreciate you following all of my ideas, but I think I like what you had last week better... Can we go with it, but with these few extra changes?" Happens all too frequently. Lot easier now, than back in the old days, when one painted the cyc, set up the shot, and lit it, only to have the AD change the color of the cyc. When done, they'd often say, "liked that original color better. Let's tear it all down and re-paint to that." Now, I just change the color of the background digitally - a lot less painting!!!"
    Thanks for that tip,

  • What is the best  media for long-term video storage?

    I will be loading several MiniDV tapes into my Mac and want to store the video long-term (in a safe-deposit box). These are going to be home movies with some digital photos or scans as well.
    I am curious what folks believe is the best medium for this. I am considering a Passport-style HD like those from LaCie, Western Digital and others. Has anyone had good luck with these? Or am I on the wrong track?
    Thank you in advance for your opinions,
    jf

    I considered getting one of the DVD recorder products from Sony (they say you can plug right into the camera, hit a button and get a DVD copy of the footage in real time)
    You understand that a DVD recorder will convert and seriously compress the material in the transcode from DV to mpeg2?
    DVDs like this are not a storage system if you are looking to keep original material in a) as close to original quality as possible and b) in an editable format.
    40 1 hour DV tapes is just over 500 GB when captured. Get 2 1 TB drives and make two copies of the material. Use one for editing on-line and put the other on a shelf (not in your house). Just be sure to get it back and spin it up every month or so.
    The tapes need to be seriously secured. If the safety deposit box is too small, look into a fireproof home vault. 40 tapes do not take up that much space. Just store it in a cool and not humid location.

  • What's the best app for taking a video on ipad2?

    I am a tennis coach and am looking for an app for my iPad2 to do video analysis. I need to be able to video someone doing a serve and then show it to them in slow motion and be able to pause it. What's the best app for this?

    Do some research into HTML5 video. Unless the user is using a modern browser with video playback capabilities, they would need to have an app to provide video playback, as well as the codecs for the video file format that you will be serving them. At this point in time, MP4 is the "clear(est)" winner of the online video formats. However not all browsers provide built-in playback. For instance, Firefox currently does not support MP4. Future Firefox builds will rely on whatever video playback the native OS provides. So coming back to your question - no, there's no real way of guaranteeing video playback on the web. You do the best you can and provide links to users where they can download the appropriate codecs and players and call it a day.

  • Best encoder for broadcast SD video

    Need to encode :30 spots for Internet delivery from DV master. What is my best encoding setting to get broadcast quality SD at the smallest file size for TV stations to use? Also, what tools would be best used for this purpose? Currently own iLife 2006 but will purchase the optimal tool for the job.

    Several things you should consider...
    Using the quarter-size trick is not going to be acceptable for broadcast. But you are talking about a 30-second spot. In DV-25, that's about 95 Mbytes. On a slow (1 Mbit) broadband connection, that's a twelve minute download. The advantage to using the DV codec instead of compressing further is that while you have to move a lot more data, what you get at the station is identical to the original clip.
    You need to consider what compression format the station is going to use at the other end. Is this something you can control? Is this something you happen to know? If you can possibly use the station's native compression scheme, you will do everybody a favor because video does not hold up well under successive recompression. I saw a dramatic example of this recently. One of our instructors brought me a DVD containing a project that had been shot on Mini-DV. It looked great. I copied it back to Mini-DV so that I could import it into my editor, and it still looked great. I did the editing, then exported back to MPEG-2 for the new DVD, at the same bit rate as the old DVD, and it looked really horrible. Recompression is the worst thing you can do to video these days, and if you transmit in, say, MPEG-4 to a station that stores all of its clips as MPEG-2, they are going to get recompression artifacts.
    If you have the network horsepower to do it, I would keep the clips DV-25 if at all possible, in spite of the file size.

  • Best settings for Green Screen Video with Canon Mark iii

    HI
    What are the ideal camera settings for Green screen video.
    Iso?
    aperature?
    Depth of field settings (best to have the green screen a bit out of focus?)
    Any other camera settings would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Hi Rowby!
    Thanks so much for writing in about green screen shooting with the EOS 5D Mark III camera.  Green screen shooting can come down to some crucial elements and how well you handle the camera and the lighting.  
    Arguably the most important thing is to have excellent lighting on the screen.  Without this, the keys used to replace the green screen will not be accurate.  So hopefully you have a good set of lights you will be using to actually light the physical screen. 
    With regards to ISO, shoot as low as possible.  We suggest that you stick in the ISO 200-400 range where possible.  With good, high key, proper lighting on the screen this shouldn't be an issue. 
    Aperture should actually be in the higher end of the range, you would want to stick to apertures around f/8 and above.  Again, with adequate lighting this shouldn't be out of reach.  This is so the green screen is more in focus, versus having it out of focus, which would not yield successful results. 
    Use an appropriate lens to the subject, for example if you are doing wide shots- use only the focal length needed for the shoot and no wider.  For head shots, close ups- use a lens that will get you close. 
    Following these suggestions should give you some pretty good results.  Remember, if this is your first attempt don't be discouraged, green screen shooting can be difficult to accomplish. 
    We wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

  • Dock for W530 - Best source for purchasing 5 of them

    After much deliberation (and my boss telling me we are only allowed to get Lenovo's), we've decided on the W530 for our next laptop in the Systems department where I work. I found a great deal on a W530 with upgraded CPU and the nice 1080p screen for under $1250 new (cdw.com), which was great because my company doesn't want to spend over $1300 on laptops.
    However, the dock is hard to find. I can't find any legit sources for it. There is only one dock we're considering, which is described as:
    Lenovo 433835U ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 - 170W
    It's not available from any of our usual sources, so my question is: What is the best source to get these?
    Two sources I've found for them are:
    http://www.thinkpad-parts.com/433835U-Thinkpad.html
    http://www.iportreplicator.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=100&product_id=53
    I'm curious if others have ordered from these sites and what kind of experiences have you had. Or perhaps someone knows a better source to get the dock. I need it to be around $300 or less, new or refurb but not used. Thanks!

    The docks are very expensive. I just spent some time looking for one. I have never bought anything from either supplier you list so I cannot comment. I ended up getting a used one without a power supply and getting the power supplier somewhere else. You need to make sure it has the connector to fit the 170W AC adapter.  Sometimes, the line between used and refurbished is not clear; the most important thing is that you can return it if it is defective, whether it is new, refurbished or used

  • Best setup for playback of video in Keynote?

    I use keynote on a daily basis and find inserting video elements can cause sputtery playback and even flash frames?!! which can be a bit of a problem on a 14meter screen!!
    What is the ideal set-up for playing back video in keynote? I see that the video plays fine in quicktime but as soon as you inbed in keynote you get splutters and the odd flash frame.
    Is there a recommended codec - max size/dimensions - prefured system configuration - hardware recomendations... I see I'm not the only one to have these problems...
    Keynote is a great advancement over powerpoint and should be developed further, even a “designer” edition with more complex design/motion features for us that would like to push the bound’s…. THINK AFTER EFFECTS...
    Thanks,

    I had this problem and it drove me batty. Went to Apple store and 'stumped the stars' with the issue. We tried changing compression to make video smaller, etc to no avail. Sometime video would even lock up.
    I found the solution on this discussion board. Can't recall who to thank. I put the Keynote on an external drive to my MacBookPro. Now it worked much better. Occasionally I will get a short milli-second flash, but no sputtering or no locking up. So I just carry a 80GB external drive with me with my lecture on it an it works great. If you figure out how to get rid of the random flash let me know, on your 14 meter screen it will look like a nuclear test!
    I think what happens when you drive an external projector, in addition to showing the instructors version on your MBP, it is simply too much for either RAM or hard drive to deal with fast enough. So when you put the presentation on an external drive it takes that load off your internal drive. Maybe that is not what really happens but sort of sounds logical. Let me know if it works for you, and let me know if you get (and later solve) the random flash

  • Best upgrades for smooth HD video editing?

    I love video editing and plan on making the jump to HD.
    I intended on upgrading to a Quad Core...
    but I read somewhere that processors for Late 2008 Unibodies are not upgradeable, bummer!
    So, will an upgrade to 240GB SSD and 8GB RAM suffice?
    All I want is smooth editing and exporting,
    while regularly making the most of Adobe Premiere CS6 and inputing video from a Canon T3i DSLR.
    Anyone else using the 2008 unibody for editing HD video?
    What adjustments have you given your laptop?
    Will a SSD and RAM upgrade suffice?
    Your advice is well appreciated
    (p.s. I will probably be uprading to Mountain Lion, as well)

    I have two late 2008 Macbook Unibody.
    A 2GHz with a 120GB OCZ SSD and a 2.4GHz with a 128GB Kingston SSD.  Both have 8GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM installed.
    These are the two Macbooks I use at work - I use Photoshop and Premiere with no issues.
    Because of the speed of the SSD and the 8GB RAM upgrade - these Macbooks can keep up with my Late 2011 with 16GB of RAM and 240GB SSD.
    So your upgrade plan will have a significant performance boost to what you'll be using it for.
