Burning AVCHD footage in full HD (1920 X 1080)?

I am trying to burn AVCHD footage (taken with a SONY CX7) imported in Full HD in iMovie 08. I would like to burn in Full HD (1920 X 1080) so that I can play the results on a Bluray player. My choices with Mac and iMovie 08 seem limited to 960 X 540. On a PC and using SONY Motion Picure Browser I can burn in Full HD easily. Should I not be able to do the same with iMovie 08? I am new to iMovie, I love the interface and the very smooth scene transitions (compared to XP and SONY MPB) but so far the better resolution of XP/MPB generated footage really makes a difference when viewed on a 46" LCD monitor. Is there a solution?

latan -
This is the 'gotcha' that got me and for over a week no one responded to my exact question you are asking...I'll save you the grief of asking this same question repeated times on several different Mac forums. After over a week of investigating, reading and learning more about HD video, I realized that iMovie only allows you edit, not burn.
Burning is done through iDVD and iDVD DOES NOT BURN HIGH DEF VIDEO.....PERIOD....or specifically, does not "author" HD video.
When you export to iDVD, it will only encode/transcode/convert (what ever you want to call it) into standard DVD format...aka for 480p/i playback. Kind of a bummer and almost useless to 'support' HD video if you can't produce a high def video for distribution...after all, that's the whole hook with the iLife suite....right?
After some more investigation I found a few interesting solutions.
1.) Roxio Toast.
--> According to the product information. It allows you to burn videos to BluRay. However, I'm still trying to figure out if that means "produces" bluray content or just allows you to burn an already-made composition to BluRay disk.
2.) DVD Studio Pro 4
--> DSP 4 can take several different video formats/resolution and author them into an HD DVD format.
However, this is a pro-level application and far too complicated and expensive for just HD burning.
3.) MovieFactory 6 Plus for Windows
--> MF 6+ can actually take your HD video and burn an HD DVD or BluRay format disk onto a standard DVD or DVD DL that will play in either type of player (depending on format). About 40 - 45 minutes of HD video will fit on a DL disk.
However, since this is a Windows program, you'd also have to run Parallels or some other Windows virtualization to run it. I don't know if MF6+ is compatable with AVCHD format.
Of course, any of these options would require you to have a high-def capable player (hd-dvd or bluray player). Possibly a cheaper option is a used mac-mini connected to your TV and use it as a media server. Just copy the files over to the mini and use it as a player.

Full HD (1920 x 1080) through Apple digital AV Adapter not working on iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1

Hi,
can anybody shed some light on this?
I remember being able to play back FULL HD (1920 x 1080) clips with the AVPlayer-HD app with iOS 4.x
Now, running iOS 5.1.1 it does only play back up to 1280 x 720.
Also, the quality of the mirrored iPad2 screen looks as if it was a composite connection only, very unsharp.
This was diferent - much better before. I used to do presentations like this.
If this is an iOS5.1.1 problem, does someone know a way to downgrade to older versions without jailbreaking it?
All the best,
theunknown_uwe

It works just fine with me (5.1.1, iPad 3 (I don't think the iPad 2 is any different), latest AVPlayerHD, MP$ hardware playback). What do you see in the center of the screen when you tap the TV icon on the center right, right under the speed lever? 1920 * 1080 just like in the screenshot below? (When the res is left at VGA, the print would be 640 * 480):

Retaining sharp 1280 × 720 footage in a FCP 1920 x 1080 sequence?

Hi Guys
Some video footage I have which contains text on screen is 1280 × 720 and I want to include this footage in a FCP 1920 x 1080 sequence. Efforts to scale up the footage from 1280 × 720 to 1920 x 1080 have resulted in the text looking nowhere near as sharp as 1280 × 720.
Can any of you advise me how I might be able to include this 1280 × 720 footage in a 1920 x 1080 sequence without, ideally, having to scale the footage? I'm thinking that I might need to create a 'letterbox' using Compressor 3.5.3. However, can you briefly advise me how I may do this?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice whatsoever you can offer.
Warm regards
Peter

Just put the 1280x720 material in your sequence, double click on it to load it into the Viewer window then click on the Motion Tab.
Set the Scale to 100. This will place the material in the middle of the 1920x1080 window with black all around.

1920 by 1080 AVCHD film

Hi-
In Tom Wolsky's FCE4 book, it says:
+"Some AVCHD cameras allow you to shoot in full frame 1920 X 1080. Unfortunately, this format does not work with FCE. You need to shoot using the 1440 X 1080 setting. You can ingest material that's in 1920, but it will have to be rendered when placed in an FCE 1080i sequence."+
However, my computer can ingest my 1920 X 1080 AVCHD footage (from a Canon VIXIA HG21), and as long as I use a sequence set to those settings it appears that I do not need to render it. (This is using FCE's AVCHD Intermediate Codec 1920 X 1080 easy setup.) Is there a catch, or does this way allow me to export in full 1920 X 1080 as it seems?
Thanks! Any help from Tom or others would be greatly appreciated.

That will be corrected in a reprint which is coming out shortly. If there's anything else that you notice that needs to be updated please drop me a line. Click on my name for my eddress.

Canon Full HD 1920 x1080

Can any one tell me the best way to import Full HD (1920 x 1080) footage from a canon 600D to use with premier pro please. As there is no preset for this.
Any knowledge of the best way and settings would be greatly appreaciated.

If you drag your video to the NEW ITEM button it will create a sequence that matches your footage.

Choppy playback of AVCHD footage. 1920 x 1080 60p. Imported as optimized media.

So I have some stuff shot on different days, same card, same camera, same settings. 1920 x 1080 AVCHD 60fps progressive, imported as optimized media. I know my computer and external drive are able to handle this kind of footage. What is puzzling is that some clips with the same specs, play back very choppy (like unrendered media) and others play back wonderful. What gives, I must be missing something obvious. Why would some clips play ok and others really badly? I have double checked that everything (codec, frame rate, optimized vs. proxy) is the same by viewing stats in the events browser. Dropping these clips into the timeline does not show they need rendering, but if I output the clip as a master file, it plays fine. I have clips in other events that play great, with the same specs. I am at a real loss. thanks gentlemen.

Sorry, but I can't think of anything during import that would introduce errors that would cause choppy playback. A momemttary loss of connection would be a problem but would typically corrupt the file and it most likely not play at all.
If you hadn't said that some clips played (or previewed) perfectly smoothly, I'd suspect a hardware problem.
Maybe someone else will have some better ideas.

Help with getting high quality DVDs from AVCHD footage

Hello,
I know enough about video editing with PE7 to be dangerous, and was hoping someone could help me out.
My question is regarding getting the highest quality standard DVD from AVCHD footage. I have a Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder recording in AVCHD. I am editing footage natively in AVCHD with PE7 on a quad core system. No problem with that. However, when I export to standard DVD the quality of the video goes down drastically. (Yes, I know burning to Blu-ray would give me higher quality, but I am giving this DVD to a friend who doesn't have Blu-ray).
So far I have tried starting my project in both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
General
Editing mode: HDV 1080i
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1440h 1080v (1.333)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
and Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
General
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.000)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
But I see no discernable difference in the quality of my output onto DVD.
This is where my knowledge is lacking...how can I get the best quality output from my AVCHD onto a standard DVD? Is there some format I can convert to first, and then burn to DVD? Also, I am willing to break the footage into a couple of DVDs to improve the quality, but I don't know how or what to do for that.
My footage looks REALLY great when viewing from the HDR-SR12 direct to HD TV with HDMI cable, but not very good on the DVD. My footage is of a ballet recital, and I lose definition in the faces, costumes, etc on the DVD output.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Gina

Hey Gina,
This may be a year late, but as I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
There is a plug-in here:
http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
DSW

What are the steps for burning HD footage to a DVD?

Up until now I have been shooting in SD and burning DVDs, using the Share feature in FCP X. Now I am wishing to do the same thing with HD footage. Am I correct in understanding I must first export to Compressor 4? I have been attempting to do that, but I am getting gummed up.
Basically I need help on the steps to follow, either within Final Cut Pro or within Compressor or both.
The details on the project are as follows: 1920 X 1080/ 29.97 fps 1080i HD Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM.

As shown by my earlier reply I wasn't sure how you wanted to output your footage . . . as standard-def or hi-def.
I assumed you meant standard-def.
However, if you wish to make a hi-def (AVCHD disc) using a normal DVD the process is as follows.
Select Share>Blu-ray and in the window that appears (see screenshot below) check that Output Device lists your disc burner and ends in (AVCHD).
If you are not bothered about menus and want your video to autostart, select Play Movie otherwise you will need to create a menu.
With a DVD in the burner, click the Burn button and sit back and wait for FCP X to provide you with a nice new AVCHD disc which will only play on a Blu-ray player or PS3.

AVCHD / 60p / 1920 x 1080

Greetings,
I am using a Canon R42 Camcorder.
(1) What is the advantage to recording in AVCHD, 60p, 1920 x 1080 for Vimeo, YouTube, etc? Any advantage at all? Under what circumstances would you record at those settings? I am going to assume if the final intent is to burn to Blue Ray but am not sure.
(2) When starting Premier Pro one can select either 'DV' or 'HDV'. I assume that latter is for 1920 x 1080 output?
(3) I am using the Trial Version of Premier Pro and am confused as to what benifits are gained by this being tied into CC?
As always, thank you very much.
Ron

To add just a little bit to Jeff's well worded response...
There are a few "cloud" features in the Creative Cloud. If you consider the 20GB storage, and the web based Behance and Prosite features. But no, they really should not have used "Cloud" because it has caused them more trouble than it is worth, I think.
But as you have heard, the processing is on your computer. In fact, I really wish I could set up two or more computers locally to process video, but Premiere Pro does not support render farms. Not yet.
On the subject of video...
I like shooting 60p but there are disadvantages. Let's take my camera for example. I shoot with the Panasonic DMC-GH3.
When I shoot at 60p I can't use the Extended Teleconverter. That is a feature that causes the camera to just use the 1920X1080 pixels in the center of the sensor when shooting video. What that means is that instead of using the entire sensor and then scaling it down to fit the 1080p standard, the camera just shoots with the pixels it needs. So everything looks 2.6 times closer. I was shooting boats on the water today and I used it for the first time. I was shooting things almost full frame that I could barely see with my naked eye. Pretty cool. But I had to shoot 30p or 24p to do that.
Let's talk about quality of the video, based in part on compression. If I shoot 60 frames per second and store it at 50Mb/s then the compression is twice what it is when I shoot 30p and store it at 50Mb/s. I get even higher quality by compressing it less when I shoot 24p at 50Mb/s. Make sense, right? When I bought the camera I thought I would be shooting 24p all-intra, which while it is easy on the PC, has to store a lot more information because every frame has all of the information instead of some of them just storing the changes from the key frame. So storing it at 72Mb/s is still compressing it more than standard 24p at 50Mb/s.
Now, I have to say I don't really see the difference, but I haven't stressed the quality of the image in my editing workflow either. Not yet anyway. If I was going to use a Digital Intermediate, I would stick to the method that compresses my video the least.
Keep in mind that there are a lot of people who swear that 24p is more "film like" due to the motion blur and movement. I find it hard to disagree with them. I want to, but it appears that 24p is less "real" and makes it easier to suspend disbelief. People can get lost in the story. When people see 30fps or 60fps they complain that it is too real. They are used to seeing their TV news that way, not their movies. They can't see fantasy at the same quality and motion attributes as they see their news. Not yet anyway. Gamers who play at even higher frame rates may eventually take over the world, but apparently "The Hobbit" at 48fps annoyed a LOT of purists.

How to back up projects and raw AVCHD footage???

Please bear with me as I'm really new to digital editing. I'm trying to understand how to work with AVCHD files. Obviously, these are too large to store on my computer once they are ingested; hence, the only option is to store the raw footage. I can burn the raw AVCHD footage to DVD no problem (I use an optional DVD burner that works with my Canon HF-10 camera). Now I'm trying to understand how to work with the system (i.e. save project files for re-editing later on). I'm using a Canon HF-10, and Final Cut Express 4, on a new MacBook Pro.
Here's how I think it might work, but please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) I begin a new project, ingesting the raw AVCHD footage as I need it.
2) I edit the footage and save the completed project.
3) With the project completed, and since the ingested video files are too big to save, I delete the ingested footage from the scratch drive, but still saving the FCE project file (This means that if I open the project file now, I will get a message telling me the media files have gone offline).
4) I move on to my next project, and carry on ingesting new AVCHD files as I did with the original project.
Here's where I'm confused...
5) I later come back to the original project to make a few changes.
QUESTION: Can I simply re-ingest the raw AVCHD footage into the scratch folder and carry on editing the first project? Or will I have problems with Final Cut Express finding the media files??? Or any other problems??
There may be easier ways to do this for someone who understands computers better than I do. I am looking for the simplest solution that will work for me, since I really don't have any technical computer skills/abilities. Will the procedure I described above work???
Thanks so much for your advice!

I'm no pro, and surely not a technical wizard, but what I plan on doing is this:
Back up the raw AVCHD files on DVD (2 copies ideally). Delete them from the camera. Ingest the files into FCE and edit. I won't change the name of the raw media files at any time, to avoid confusing FCE. Once I've finished editing, I'll keep the FCE project file (and any related files) on my hard drive. However, I will delete the huge ingested files from the hard drive (because, no matter how big an external drive you have, to me using 160GB to store two hours of video is nuts). Then, if at a later date I want to re-edit, I'll re-ingest the original files back onto the scratch drive. I figure FCE will read them fine, since they haven't changed; they've merely been removed and replaced. One key point here is that, when ingesting the AVCHD files, you must ingest the complete clips, not just a part of them. That way, nothing about the files (such as the length, starting and finishing points, etc.) will have changed. It may seem a bit awkward, but that's about the only way I, being a technophobe, can understand how to do it without keeping huge files on a hard drive. And, I am only speculating that this will work. At this point, I'm still waiting on the DVD burner that works with my Canon camcorder to arrive in the mail. Then I'll do some testing/experimenting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Is it possible to burn a movie in full HD quality?

Is it possible to burn a movie in full HD quality?

Hi,
I found the solution to this after two days of head scratching and frustration. Here are some of the things I noticed in my investigation of the problem, and the solution:
iDVD does NOT FULLY/CONSISTENTLY support HD or footage that is imported from FCP X -- when it is rendered you will get reduced quality visuals in your DVD.
Using the "create disk image" option to create your DVD has the same end result.
I found my way to success the following way:
Save your original file from FCP X -- note its file size. If it's a .MOV file you will need to recreate and save to your hard drive because you will need am mpeg file. Your original .mov file is now simply a reference.
Use FCP X to create an mpeg version of your footage from its share options.
Once done, note the SIZE of the file -- it should be larger than your original file.
Purchase Toast if you don't have it -- I am not a representative for the company... I just like what works --(or use DVD Studio Pro, if you have it) to create your DVD ~ DO NOT USE iDVD FOR NEXT STEPS ~
Toast screen shot below:
In Toast, select Video, HD DVD and name your file. Note the size of the file in the bottom of the window... it should be the same as the mpeg file... if you notice the file size is smaller (or the same as the original file size) you have a setting wrong.
(Since I used Toast I won't reference DVD Studio Pro here... don't want to make this response longer then needed...).
Once you verify the correct file size, make any other selections/changes you like for your DVD, then burn it.
You should end up with a DVD with the quality you are after.
Good Luck!

Imported AVCHD footage jumpy

I've shot some AVCHD footage with a Panasonic HMC-150, imported into FCP 7 via Log & Transfer, and when I go to edit, it is extremely jumpy in the viewer. More specifically, the picture freezes while the audio continues to be heard. Then the video catches up to the audio. Then it starts all over again.
As per the instructions I received with the camera, I've set my Sequence Preset to Apple ProRess 422 (LT) 1920 X 1080 60i 48kHz.
Capture Preset: DVCPRO HD - 1080i60 48 kHz
Device Control Preset: Non-Controllable Device
In Preferences within Log & Transfer, I chose AVCHD under the AVCHD Plugin.
I've read some places where disabling or getting rid of Perian helps the problem.
I tried that, and it didn't work.
If anyone can help, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Where is this media stored? What sort of hard drive?
In Preferences within Log & Transfer, I chose AVCHD under the AVCHD Plugin.
That option does not exist. Under the AVCHD plugin you will see AVCHD on the left, then a drop down menu on the right that lists the codec it will be converted to. It defaults to ProRes 422. Playback of ProRes 422 takes at least a FW800 connection.
Once you import the media, put one clip on the timeline and FCP will ask "do you want me to change the settings to match the clip?" Click yes. Then the settings will match. If that is what happened, then your footage imported as ProRes LT, which is a fine codec.
The issue might be where the media is stored.

In v.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen? I tell it to, but the program keeps burning to widescreen.

In V.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen? I have told it to, but it keeps burning to widescreen.

Rodney
Great news. Great job sorting through the details.
The core of your issue went to the differences between Premiere Elements 9 and 11 and its default project presets and how project preset is set.
Some of the factors are found
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Add to the mix, that the project preset directs the program to make certain settings (assumptions). So, if you have a HD project preset, you are going to see NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD set as the default in the burn dialog. I am guessing that you were letting the project control setting the Premiere Elements 11 project preset, and it was giving you its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 instead of NTSC DV Standard.
But the ground rules are
a. know the properties of your source media
b. set the project preset to match the properties of the source media (if the project does not do it right, then you set the project preset manually)
c. keep the export settings consistent with the other project settings.
I will spare you the rest of the details for now. Just know, please do not hesitate to ask if you have questions or need clarification.
Thanks.

Kernel panic rendering AVCHD footage in Encore CS5 or CS6

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running CS6 and 10.8.2. My usual workflow is burning two hour multi-cam live performances to DVD. Usually this is two cameras of DV, one camera of AVCHD, all in a DV timeline.
Lately I've been trying to burn DV timelines of nothing but AVCHD footage, and somewhere through the rendering process I always get a kernel panic. This happens with different projects, footage from different cameras (I'm using a Panasonic AG-AC130 or HMC40), whether I'm using Encore CS5 or CS6. The projects never finish. It seems to get 50-75% through rendering video before crashing. Rendering these projects on my MacBook Pro work just fine (though much slower). Timelines where it's not 100% AVCHD are still working fine.
I had began having kernel panics unrelated to Encore, but traced this back to a heat issue. It's an old machine after all. After installing smcFanControl, this problem has gone away. I don't normally burn timelines of nothing but AVCHD, but I'm certain there was a time in the past I was able to burn these without issue. I monitor my system temperature during rendering and I'm somewhat confident that's not what's crashing the system.
The top part of my latest crash report is listed below. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

After a not-too-intense Bing search, the particular panic you're getting seems to be an indication of:
Your Mac Pro is dying.
Bad drivers in combo with an unforgiving OS.
I don't have any easy advice for number 1. If it is still a heat issue, you may need to redo the thermal paste on the CPU and blow the dust out of the heat sink. If it's a deeper problem than that, some serious repair work up to and including replacement may be required. Either way, it will be a painful fix. For number 2, try updating your graphics card drivers (which card do you have?) and/or going back to 10.6.x or Lion 10.7.x and see if things improve.

EDIT: Although Encore and Premiere Pro have their share of bugs, a lot of times they expose weaknesses in a system because of how much they tax all of the hardware and software.

Does Adobe Premier Elements 8 burn AVCHD DVDs in HDusing a standard burner? Does it need a bluray?

Does Adobe Premier Elements 8 burn AVCHD DVDs in HD using a standard burner or do you need to have a bluray burner? I have read comments stating you can't burn HD video straight to DVD. I need to check this out before I purchase it.
Thanks

Do not hesitate to ask. Adobe has always been a very good host, and allows for pretty open discussions on editing videos, regardless of what one is using.
Now, I have to admit that I have not seen Pinnacle Studio since the S-10 days. I had S-7, S-8, S-9 and S-10. S-9.4.3 was about the only one, that I really liked, but felt that it was a bit too much of a "big-button" solution, as were its predecessors and S-10. I moved to AVID Liquid, and did not like it. I found PrPro, and the rest, as they say, was history. I added PrE 4 to handle some consumer formats & CODEC's, that PrPro did not do well with.
I have done some Projects in PrE, mainly to keep me atop the questions in this forum.
I find that PrE, as of version 4, is more like Pinnacle, in that things are kept pretty much under the hood, and the big-button solutions abound. I am still much less comfortable with PrE, than with PrPro, though I did spend a bunch of time on Pinnacle Studio. Things just work better for me. I have to admit that I am a "control freak," and do not mind doing hand-work, if I can harness the full power.
I have not seen the more recent Pinnacle products, so cannot comment on them. Going back, my versions (except for 9.4.3) were very crash-prone, and seldom could complete a Project, without at least one catastrophic failure along the way. I learned early on to always hit Ctrl+S (Save), after almost everything I did. My PrE 4 has only crashed once, and that was OE on my part. Now, I do have a much more powerful laptop, than the computers that I used with most versions of Pinnacle, so it's probably not a really fair comparison. The Projects now, are much more involved, than in the Pinnacle days.
Doesn't directly address your question, and I'm not sure that many folk here have spent enough time with both NLE programs, to help. I would suggest that you post your question in the Muvipix Community (forum), as many users there have different programs, and experience in a bunch. While many use Adobe products, many others use different NLE programs. Maybe some know PrE and Studio (later editions, that what I know/knew) and can answer your question directly.
After Studio 10.5.1 update killed (and I really mean "killed") a brand new workstation, I swore that no version of Studio would ever find its way inside my edit suite. That was when I went to AVID, but soon dumped that. Though I had used many Adobe products for decades, I have no idea why I did not go to Premiere Pro earlier. My bad.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I also feel that most salespeople lick their lips, when they sell an AVCHD camera, as they know that the customer WILL be back for a much more powerful computer.

Burning AVCHD footage in full HD (1920 X 1080)?
