Blur settings on export

I shoot all of my organ recital dvds on Sony EX cameras 1920x1080 25i
A lot of the footage is of cathedral architecture involving lots of fine horizontal lines. This all looks fine in HD but when converted to SD for the dvd I get flickering on the fine detail during camera tilts and pans. I have tried both using Premiere and AVIsynth HD2SD for the down conversion both with the same results. In the end I add blur in the export settings (4 vertical works best) to take the edge off the detail. How do other editors get round this problem?

That's a shame.
Personally I think it's time for one worldwide standard. Consumers and Broadcast will acquire and display at 2592 x 1080, at exactly 24 or 48 fps (with the option to repeat frames during display, such as TVs that can do 72 or 96 Hz). Digital Cinema will acquire and present at 5184 x 2160, at exactly 24 or 48 fps (also leaving room for frame repeating during presentation).
BDXL will be the new disk format, and will offer all current BD formats plus the new Consumer/Broadcast standard. The Cinema standard will remain apart, keeping a reason for folks to actually go out to see a movie on the big screen.
This makes things very simple and unified. It offers a very respectable consumer/broadcast resolution for the next 100 years, as well as an excellent quality Cinema resolution (which is very easily downcovnerted for consumer/broadcast delivery). It presents a much more workable 2.4 aspect ratio that eliminates almost all letterboxing and replaces it with the more desirable pillarboxing. (After all, the whole point of widescreen was to show more, not to show less. The vertical resolution should be the constant here, with the horizontal being the one to change with the aspect ratio.) It eliminates all interlacing. It simplifies and unifies frame rates that work for all scenarios - Cinema, TV, Sports, etc. It eliminates all conversions between countries of origin and countries of distribution. It's entirely technically feasible with flat-panel technology, regardless of your country's power source.
It should be called CTV - CinemaTV.

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

Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

chucknoris501
What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

Best settings for exporting from AE

Hi,
I am wondering what the best settings to export to from AE for editing in Premiere CS5.5. Previously I would digitize from tape and would export lossless .avi from AE but now I am using XDCAM EX 1080 50i sequence presets on Premiere and I wonder if I should amend the settings from AE or just keep them as lossless?
As always thanks in advance!

Keep it lossless.

Flash CS 5.5 - best settings when exporting to .swf to reach widest audience?

Hi Flash experts!
I am a 2D illustrator and am relatively new to Flash (and love it!) and want to add some simple Flash animations (using my illustration) to my portfolio website. But I am having issues when exporting to .swf - I have emailed on examples of work to friends and colleagues to view (and check) and most have trouble opening the .swf files. In fact most can't open them at all! Is this more to do with your average (probably a pc user) person not having an up to date Flash player or to do with my settings when exporting?
Can anyone advise me on how to best export to .swf to ensure the majority of people can open and play the file? Is this a problem just for a newby like me or a wider issue you Flash superstars deal with?
Eagerly awaiting your advice!
Thanks,
Lisa in New Zealand.

It may just be that they do not have a standalone Flash player to play the file. Your better bet is to plant the swf on a web page and send the link to the page instead of the file(s).

Best settings for exporting crisp video/graphic from iMovie to YouTube?

Hi, I am working on a video for a client and after viewing on YouTube they had some issues with the type not looking "crisp," and I'm not sure how to fix it, not sure if it's a YouTube thing or something I am doing wrong.
I am working in iMovie 6/HD on OS 10.4.11. I do my "type slides" in Photoshop and import them into the iMovie as photos (JPGs). I know some text/titles can be done in iMovie but there is very little control I have over what goes where, so by making my type slides in Photoshop I have more creative control to do what I want. I have done tests and it doesn't seem to matter what resolution the Photoshop files are when they're imported, the results are always the same.
If anyone has a better suggestion for doing the type slides I'd gladly welcome them, but I think what I really need to know is the following:
What are the best expert settings to export my iMovie file as, so that when I upload to YouTube, the quality stays fairly crisp? Or does YouTube's compression just negate anything I can do on my end?
I have googled and found settings recs on other sites and other boards and tried a bunch of them and my results aren't any better than my original effort.
From another post on this board I discovered I could play with the Filters setting when exporting, and I have set that to Sharpen and also used the Brightness filter to lighten the video (it was a little dark). I uploaded to YouTube and I think it is a little better, but would still love the info if anyone has a guaranteed rec for correct settings for YouTube video from iMovie HD/6.

Hello Brian,
Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.

thats way too vague of a question... best what? quality? size? playback?
best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

Best settings to export for the web?

Hey everyone,
What do you think is the best setting to export video to web? I export now using quicktime and once in a while (I would like to use it more often since its much easier) compressor. So what is the best settings to export video to the web without having it get all blurry? I also use an XL2 so the video is good.

JB
but I'm concerned about whether H264 is accessible by an audience outside the Mac umbrella.
They need QT7 installed.
You can get Flip4Mac and add WMV export capabilities to QT. I'm sure that with a little of experimentation you'll get good results and the needed component isn't expensive.
Hope that helps !

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

Settings for exporting MPEG for Vista MCE

Hi
I'm new to video editing and I am currently playing with the Premiere Elements trial before I decide to buy or not.
My video is imported from a Canon HF100 in AVCHD format.
Can someone please post the settings I should use on the first screen when I create my project. I'm just setting it to 1080i AVCHD which seems correct.
Also I'd like recommended settings for exporting my final movie. I'd like to export onto DVD and some file type that is suitable for viewing using Vista MCE (MPEG I assume)
I dont mind waiting for the rendering if that means better quality. Should I just whack everything up to max quality? Or are there better ways to export?
Vista MCE is viewed on a Pioneer 42" plasma if that makes any difference.
My PC seems powerful enough as I've rendered a couple short files already.
Thanks
Alan

Alan,
I *believe* that you have the proper Project Preset. As I do not do AVCHD work, Paul_LS, or Steve will have to verify that 100%.
Now, for your Export/Delivery there are some considerations:
1.) If you edit your AVCHD footage in it's native state, the ultimate delivery would be BD for play on your 42" plasma TV. You would Burn the BD with the proper BD settings. Encoding will be handled there. (see below)
2.) If you deliver on DVD-Video, it will be down-converted to a DVD-compliant MPEG-2. One option that this gives you is having all of your editing done in HD, should you decide to later go to BD.
3.) Another possibility would be to choose a Preset for SD DVD-spec. material and let your camera do the down-converting to SD. This will speed up both the editing and the Burning to DVD. However, if you later decide to do an HD version of your Project, you'll be looking at starting pretty much from scratch and doing an HD Capture.
4.) In your particular delivery scheme, you will be using a software player, instead of a physical DVD, or BD. It is the file, and not a physical disc, that you will be using. That is about the only difference.
Unfortunately, I do not know which player/players come with Vista MCE. I would *assume* that it/they can easily handle a DVD-spec. MPEG-2 file (the same as Burned to a physical DVD disc, but without the pure DVD-Video structure - just the raw file, with no VOB, VIDEO_TS folder etc. That would allow the movie to play. However, the software player can *probably* also handle the full DVD-Video structure and allow for navigation, just like on a DVD hardware player.
I would *assume* that this OS might well have BD equivilent capabilities, as well. There, you would be Exporting to an MPEG-4 AVC or VC-1 format for HD playback. This would keep your delivery in HD (like your footage) and allow the best possible image in playback.
Those are just some rough thoughts. Others will have some very specific suggestions for your particular editing and playback schemes.

Settings for exporting to quicktime

May i know whats the best settings to export to quicktime, using manual advance settings?
I realized there is a delay whenever i hit the "next button"
also, whats the best settings for me to export to quicktime?

Are you making your DVD with iDVD? If so you can just share to iDVD from the Share menu. Otherwise, here are the settings that I use. I'm not going to say they are the best settings, but I have had good luck with them.

Problems with levels and blur effects when exporting

I'm kinda new in After Effects. I was trying to to make the effect from this tutorial http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/CC_Flashback/video-tutorial wich I think it could be useful for a short film I'm working on. So... i did the whole thing and if I RAM render it looks pretty near; but the trouble comes when I export the video. A white rectangle appears, and as far as my knowledge can say, I think that the effects maybe aren't being exported well.

What render settings do you use? Could be that one of the render overrides comes into play here and stuff is rendered at different quality settings liek without motionb blur or such. Also, since expressions are involved, do not use MP rendering. Some expressions do not give correct results with multiprocessor/ multicore rendering.

Blurred video when exporting

Clips are:
720x480
4:3 .9091 pixel aspect ratio
24fps
progressive
uncompressed AVIs
Project settings:
720x480
4:3 .9091 pixel aspect ratio
23.976fps
progressive
I'm trying to just export this project out as an AVI, even uncompressed, so that is looks just like it does in the project, but I keep getting a blur any time there is motion. I've exported it out before and it worked fine, but using the same settings, it's suddenly giving me the results in the image I attached to this post.
I've tired exporting as a 720x480, 23.976 progressive uncompressed AVI, Lagarith Lossless AVI, and also the same settings as an h.264 mp4 file and I'm getting the same results every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm supposed to have this to the client tomorrow.

JSS1138 wrote:
Hmm.
Perhaps an Interpret Footage action is needed here. Maybe Premiere isn't reading the clips actual frame rate correctly?
Not sure. I checked a bunch of the clips and it shows the framerate to be 24.0000.
I ended up creating a new sequence and set the timebase to 24fps rather than 23.976 (which is what it's been since I began working on this project back in July, so why it's screwing up now I have no idea).
I copied everything from the 23.976 timeline and pasted it into the new 24fps timline. I then exported using Lagarith at 24fps. The exported video looked correct, no blurring. But what I did run into was that every spot in the timeline that had a transition was now screwed up. Instead of doing a smooth crossfade, it instead faded to black and then suddenly cut to the next clip. There are also now tiny gaps between every clip (most of which don't cause a problem, but a few cause 1 frame of black).
I assume this problem has come about because of the difference in framerate between 23.976 and 24. Anyway, I'll have to go back through the entire project and fix all those little problems, but I think the blurriness is gone now. As to what caused the problem to start in the first place, I still have no idea.
It's late. I'm tired.

What are the settings for exporting the best possible quality movies?

I'm trying to export movies using imove 11, there are a ton of export setting, im wondering which are the best for exporting top quality movies? assuming file size doesnt matter.

ok so heres what the movie inspector says:
Format: Photo- JPEG, 1024 x 576, Million Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 2channels, 44100 Hz
FPS: 17.80
Data Rate:9.63 mbit/s
Current Size:1024 x 576 pixels (actual)
So do i want to somehow duplicate these settings?
The other thing I was thinking about was opening the file in Quicktime and using the "trim" feature to edit it down that way, although its not as neat. Would this preserve the quality? And would it get rid of the excess footage (which is what I want)? Or would it like keep that footage attached to the file somehow?
Thanks

What are the best settings to export video for Blip.tv?

I have CS5.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Their suggestions are anything but helpful for Adobe:
http://support.blip.tv/entries/344530-how-should-i-export-my-videos-fo r-blip-tv
Thing is, I had Premiere Elements 8 and 10, which both had no issues with making and uploading MPGs, but Pro's settings are... well, I'd call them "messed up". Part of the issue might be that Elements and Pro ands unforgiveably disimilar in too many aspects (I'd argue 8 was functionally better than 10). Why are settings seemingly unavailable, or completely different? I wasted an entire day, rendering the same video in different formats, because Pro didn;t have the same available settings as I could with Elements 10.
Regardless of my complaints. The question is still this: What settings should I use for esporting videos to Blip.tv? The answer never really gets answered over there, but I am asking there too.
Ultimately, I'm sending MP4 videos, and they are absolutely fine on my computer, but are squished over there. So if anyone else has any more experience with Blip.tv, maybe they can answer it. They don;t seem to like Adobe/PC software much to care to give settings.

Try a YT or Vimeo preset, adjust framerate accordently
I do not understand their field suggestions. Web is always no fields regardles the source.
