Blotchiness on final render/export -- WHY?!!?

Take a look at the end, starting at about 5:24.
https://vimeo.com/55421177
It gets blotchy while it's fading to brown, and then even worse once it hits brown.
I'm rendering as:
H.264
Target bitrate: 15 MB/s
Max bitrate: 40 MB/s
29.97 fps
1920 x 1080 px
Key Frame Distance: 60
Now why in the world am I still getting this blotchy crap? I mean what do I need to do to get rid of it? I've already tried higher and lower Key Frame Distances. Bitrate shouldn't be an issue, as far as I know.

I'm not even seeing the blotchies unless I actually pause the playback. Could be system dependent (streaming speed, etc.)
Your bitrates seem designed for Blu-ray rather than streaming, way too high. I don't upload to Vimeo, but do they re-encode your material? How does the exported file look if you play it back directly on your computer, rather than through Vimeo?
My suggestion would be to try the Vimeo 1080p preset in AME, which is showing 5mbps data rate and 30 frame keyframing and see what that does. More is not always better.
Also, as the video starts to fade down at the end, there is suddenly a brightness shift, image gets brighter, might want to look at the edit and see why that is happening. That definitely jumped out at me, but did NOT see blotchies.

I'm looking for someone to render (export) a final cut X project for me.

I'm looking for someone to render (export) a final cut X project for me. I am running FCX on my MB air & it works surprisingly well for small projects. However, I have a 4 minute video that is outside of the limits of my machine. I am assuming there is a way to dropfile the project & have someone else export it for me & dropfile it back to me as a HD video I can post on Vimeo. I am willing to pay for this service.

I may not be doing this correctly, I created the new library & when I tried to copy the the clips it said this:
You are editing compound clips or multicam clips between libraries.
Final Cut Pro will copy files and create new parent clips in the library "Movies".
The new clips will be independent of the original parent clips.
Media stored in external folders will be linked to but not copied.

Is the GPU used for final render?

Hi,
I started using Speedgrade on my Mac Pro, and I really like it.
I'm getting great playback of my 3K r3d files - realtime at 1/2 res with my ATI 5770,
but when I'm doing my final render from the output tab it will only render 0.7 fps in both online and offline quality.
So I was thinking about getting a GTX 580, but will Speedgrade use the GPU for final renders or only for playback? If it's only for playback it wouldn't make sense for me to buy one.
I'm also struggling with getting my project from Premiere to Speedgrade,
I can export an EDL, but this will only contain one video track - and I usually use multiple.
Is there any way to export a sequence with more than one video track?
Thanks

Hey azton,
Speedgrade is using GPU for playback and CPU for rendering.
Regarding Rendering Speed:
what kind of input resolution do you use? - this is crucial to improve render time. If you want to render out Proxies for example, its recommend using input-res below FULL, generally speaking of 1/4 ... 1/2 etc Res.
By changing InputRes only you wil already notice a speed-up, activating OFFLINE quality should give a additional boost.
What is your Output format? DPX? QT? Your Output Resolution?
Rendering from a 3K image + Colorcorrection/Masks/Secondary + Resizing to XXX OuputRes + Codec (h264, DNxHD) wont be ultra fast though.
EDL:
multiple videotracks are not supported in the CMX3600 EDL standard. You have to deal the EDL as a traditional FINAL/MASTER edit.
hope that helps,

Easiest way to use multiple computers for render/export?

So, for tools like Vegas, Premiere etc you can have a render far, that would help you render/export clips potentially cutting down render time from 40+ hours to mere hour or two.
I have a couple of macs available on the network that i would like to try do the same with, at least cut it down in half or 1/3 of what it is taking now.
What is the best/easiest way to go about doing this?
Thanks

Hi(Bonjour)!
You can do that with Final Cut Studio with Compressor and by build a quick clusters render farm. Ask on Compressor forum.

Preview & Final Render Choppy at transitions...

i searched for this on the forums, but couldn't find anything. i know it's probably a simple problem, but i can't figure it out:
whenever i overlap 2 or more clips to make a transitional fade (or even if i have 2 stacked clips on) the RAM preview is choppy at that part, and so is the final render when played back in both quicktime and WMP (i'm sure it's choppy in every player, those are the only 2 i've tried).
the video in both RAM preview and final render is smooth up until a transition, then it's choppy and crawls through it, then smooth again.
am i not checking some small box somewhere? anyone else have this problem and fix it?
TECH SPECS:
AE CS4
30fps
intel 2.49 GHz, 3 GB RAM
Windows XP Pro

Well, most MPG in digital photo cameras is some sort of MPEG-4, often deviating considerably from standardized specs, so anything is possible. In your case, a look in the manual might offer some insights. I'm beggining to think that the clips are actually recorded at a lower frame rate (e.g. 24fps) and then use some sort of pulldown to look like 30fps. that#s not noticable when just viewing them, but gets you when editing. they may require to have the pulldown removed by interpreting them as 24fps pa. likewise, 30fps and 29.97fps are different things in AE's world, so that should be checked as well. Those discrepancies could also well explain your audio issues. The scaling should be unrealted, as AE works on fully reconstructed frames, not the source stream. It just cannot reconstruct the frames correctly in the transition areas, that's why it looks so weird.

Option in properties panel: render - export a bitmap

Hi - just come across this.
Therefore should we always use render - export as bitmap - it will be kinder on all CPUs of all platforms.???
When would I not use it then?
I suppose I can - but can I code this in ie: character.exportAsBitmap at design time or is it ONLY for mcs on stage. ie: Can I import mcs an apply that???
Cheers

I understand that you need the newest version (InDesign CC 2014.1) to accomplish what you want with EPUB.
But if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can download BOTH that version (the current one) AND also install InDesign CC (which came out in 2013), as well as InDesign CS6. All can be installed simultaneously!
As I described above, I think you unintentionally muffed it by installing a trial on top of your installation. Both should be uninstalled.
Then with Creative Cloud install the latest version and make sure it's working.
To download an older version from Creative Cloud, select the Apps menu in the CC application. Scroll down till you see "Filters & Version" In that section, you will see the older versions which you can also install.

PE 4 crashes on render, export and preview with Vista 64 bit

I just installed my PE 4 on a new Windows Vista 64 bit machine with the i7 920 processor and 512 MB ATI Radeon video card. PE 4 worked fine on my XP machine but I cannot get it to render, export or even let me preview on this new maching. I have followed the advise of updating all drivers and software and uninstall and reinstalling with nothing running and I get the same error repeatedly - it will render and progress for about 5 seconds and then I get "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working" and it closes. The video clips are from a flash memory camera and the Presets set for widescreen - flash memory. Everything works normally until I try to view or render the files. Any suggestions?

You say this is from a flash memory camcorder? Can you be more specific?
Webbie camcorders, like the Flip, may shoot in hi-def, but they also record to a non-standard codec that can cause some of the problems you're describing.

Premiere/Media Encoder can't render/export after 10.9.3 update. Any Answers?

My computer ran the OSX 10.9.3 update a couple nights ago, and suddenly Premiere/Media Encoder can not export. It just freezes up the computer until I cold crash it. Same if I try to render a timeline in Premiere. This issue just started yesterday. It still persists after wiping my hard drive and doing a clean install of everything, which of course just put 10.9.3 back on there. This issue does not exist on my laptop that has not been updated yet. However, I have enough work and not enough time to be trying to edit everything on my laptop while this get worked out. Has anyone else got this issue in the past day or two?

Hey Todd,
I had two active projects that suddenly could not render/export. One is quite massive and has RG Colorista quite a bit throughout it, however I could not export a timeline without any plugins on it. The other project is also clean of plugins. Then I started a new project and it went out just fine until I put the RG plugin on it. But here is my newest glitch. I just made a change to an old show and all of my titles done in Title Tool were resized and positioned. Blown up and shifted to the right. If I take the same file and put it on my laptop which still has not got 10.9.3, they are just fine. Scaled properly and centered between title safe. But now on 10.9.3 they are blown up and going off the screen.

About Final Cut ProX: why a red line appears at the top o a file imported into a New Event? then when I restarted the Project that files comes as "Missed files" How can i fix it?

About Final Cut ProX: why a red line appears at the top o a file imported into a New Event? then when I restarted the Project that files comes as "Missed files" How can i fix it? Thank you very much.

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

Disappearing layers in Final render

I have a layer of video that keeps diappearing from my final render. It doesn't disappear completly. Looks to be down to about 1% opacity. Only happens in my final quicktime render. Plays and looks fine in my comp and ram previews. All my other comps which are pretty much duplicates except swapping out 2 layers work just fine as well.
First image is my ram preview with the camera pushing past her. How it is supposed to look. Second is what actually renders out. It hits that frame right as the camera moves and she disappears. Layer order and z-position is not the issue. Any help is much appreciated.

Are you sure that you are previewing the Active Camera in the Comp?
If so then a screenshot of the entire timeline would be of much more use than these frame grabs.

When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
It will help a lot if you provide details ...
FCE Easy Setup
Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)
Clip properties (vid rate, frame size, compressor)

Does Composition window settings affect final render?

I know this is a totally lame question, and I'm about 99% sure on the answer, but I'm still going to ask...does the quality settings in the Composition window affect the final render? For example, if my composition is set to 50% (size) and Half (quality), this would not affect a final, full size, uncompressed render, would it?
Thanks,
Kristin.

No, work settings for composition viewers do not affect final renders if the comp is added properly to the render queue. The only thing influenced is the "RAM preview" quick-save output module and render settings which can be used to dump already existing rendered frames to a movie file.

Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP? Have san diego road runner. emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

I can't render/export.

Have been constantly trying to render/export my video since this morning. Couldn't do so after editing brightness and contrast.

If Tento's advice does not work, work your way through this doc.
