Canon T3i - Help With Video Settings

Hi, I just bought the Canon EOS Rebel T3i and I'm trying to optimize the settings for filming video but for some reason, it will not let me change the movie rec. size. It is set by default to 1920x1080 at 30fps but I want to change it to 24fps. The problem is that when I go to change the settings, I cannot move it to choose 1920 24fps, it only lets me change the digital zoom setting. I tried it with manual exposure and auto exposure, anyone know what's wrong? Thanks.

Hi Darthmunky,
You may be able to clear this issue by clearing the Camera settings and Clearing the Custom Functions, as shown on page 176.  Please make sure your camera is in one of the "Creative" modes, such a "P" to access these settings.
If you're unable to resolve this issue, I recommend that you contact us.

  • WRT310N: Help with DMZ/settings (firmware 1.0.09) for wired connection

    Hello. I have a WRT310N and have been having a somewhat difficult time with my xbox 360's connection. I have forwarded all the necessary ports (53, 80, 88, 3074) for it to run, and tried changing MTU and what-not.
    I don't know if I have DMZ setup incorrectly, or if it's my settings.
    Setup as follows:
    PCX2200 modem connected via ethernet to WRT310N. 
    The WRT310N has into ethernet port 1 a WAP54G, and then upstairs (so that my Mother's computer can get a strong signal) I have another WAP54G that I believe receives its signal from the downstairs 54G. 
    In the back of the WRT310N, I have my computer connected via ethernet port 3, and my Xbox 360 connected via ethernet port 4.
    Now, I first figured I just have so many connections tied to the router and that is the reason for being so slow. However, when I unplug all the other ethernet cords and nothing is connected wirelessly, except for my Xbox connected to ethernet port 4, it is still poor. Also, with everything connected (WAP54G and other devices wirelessly) I get on my PC and run a speedtest.  For the sake of advice, my speedtests I am running on my PC are (after 5 tests) averagely 8.5 Mbps download, and 1.00 Mbps upload, with a ping of  82ms.
    Here is an image of the results:
    http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/721106714.png
    Let me add a little more detail of my (192.168.1.1) settings for WRT310N.
    For starters, my Father's IT guy at his workplace set up this WRT310N and WAP54G's. So some of these settings may be his doing. I just don't know which.
    "Setup" as Auto-configurations DHCP. I've added my Xbox's IP address to the DHCP reservation the IP of 192.168.1.104. This has (from what I've noticed) stayed the same for days.
    MTU: Auto, which stays at 1500 when I check under status.
    Advanced Routing: NAT routing enabled, Dynamic Routing disabled. 
    Security: Disabled SPI firewall, UNchecked these: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Multicast, and Internet NAT redirection.
    VPN passthrough: All 3 options are enabled (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP)
    Access Restrictions: None.
    Applications and Gaming: Single port forwarding has no entries. Port Range Forwarding I have the ports 53 UDP/TCP, 88 UDP, 3074 UDP/TCP, and 80 TCP forwarded to IP 192.168.1.104 enabled. (192.168.1.104 is the IP for my xbox connected via ethernet wired that is in DHCP reserved list)
    Port Range Triggering: It does not allow me to change anything in this page.
    DMZ: I have it Enabled. This is where I am a bit confused. It says "Source IP Address" and it has me select either "Any IP address" or to put entries to the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to XXX fields. I have selected use any IP address. Then the source IP area, it says "Destination:"  I can do either "IP address: 192.168.1.XXX" or "MAC address:" Also, under MAC Address, it says DHCP Client Table and I went there and saw my Xbox under the DHCP client list (It shows up only when the Xbox is on) and selected it.  
    Under QoS: WMM Enabled, No acknowledgement disabled.
    Internet Access Priority: Enabled. Upstream Bandwith I set it to Manual and put 6000 Kbps. I had it set on Auto before, but I changed it. I have no idea what to put there so I just put a higher number. 
    Then I added for Internet Access Priority a Medium Priority for Ethernet Port 4 (the port my xbox is plugged into).
    Administration: Management: Web utility access: I have checked HTTP, unchecked HTTPS.
    Web utility access via Wireless: Enabled. Remote Access: Disabled.
    UPnp: Enabled.
    Allow Users to Configure: Enabled.
    Allow users to Disable Internet Access: Enabled.
    Under Diagnostics, when I try and Ping test 192.168.1.104 (xbox when on and connected to LIVE), I get:
    PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 24 data bytes
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    --- 192.168.1.104 data statistics ---
    5 Packets transmitted, 0 Packets received, 100% Packet loss
    Also, when I do Traceroute Test for my Xbox's IP, I just keep getting: 
    traceroute to 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
    1 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
    2 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
     As for the Wireless Settings, it is all on the default settings with Wi-Fi Protected setup Enabled.
    To add, I have tried connecting my modem directly to the Xbox and my connection is much improved. I have no difficulty getting the NAT open, for it seems my settings are working for that. Any help with these settings would be VERY much appreciated.

    I own 2 of these routers (one is a spare) with the latest firmware and I have been having trouble with them for over a year.  In my case the connection speed goes to a crawl and the only way to get it back is to disable the SPI firewall.  Rebooting helps for a few minutes, but the problem returns.  All of the other fixes recommended on these forums did not help.  I found out the hard way that disabling the SPI Firewall also closes all open ports ignoring your port forwarding settings.  If you have SPI Firewall disabled, you will never be able to ping your IP from an external address.  Turn your SPI Firewall back on and test your Ping.

  • Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

    I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
    I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???

  • Help with FMLE Settings for Sports Broadcast

    Hello,
    I am in need of some help tweaking my settings in FMLE.  I put on various sports broadcasts, but one of my clients has limited bandwidth (avg ~2.5-3mbps upload).
    I'd like to keep the output pixel size at 640x360 so that it takes up our entire player and doesn't letter box it, but with the larger video size I sometimes run in to either buffering,or pixelated video depending on how the bandwidth is that particular day.   I'd like to stream between 800k-1000k.
    I am using VP6 codec and using an Osprey Card as my capture device.
    Some of my questions are:
    1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
    2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window.  Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data.  Same with Datarate Window.  Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
    3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function.  Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit?  If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
    4)Should I deinterlace my video?  We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher.  Everything is analog SD.
    I am able to drop by bitrate down to 600K and the stream does not buffer, but it starts to get pixelated.  I would think that 3mbps upload bandwidth is enough to stream at 800k.   Any help adjusting my settings to shapen the imagine would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
    --> Always capture at the same size, unless the device/card doesn't support that size.
    2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window.  Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data.  Same with Datarate Window.  Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
    --> Data rate window is useful for unexpected source data that might not encode well within the specified bit-rates. For example, if you set data rate window to "tiny" and a complex frame (source data) arrives, then encoder will not allocate some extra bits to encode that frame in good quality. But if you set the window to huge, then that complex frame will be encoded in good quality by allocating more bits to it. So, basically, the "delta" around the specified bit-rate increases on moving from "tiny" to "huge" data rate window. Your output bit-rate will vary more in case of "huge" setting.
    3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function.  Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit?  If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
    --> I can explain the difference between the 2 options and you can experiment with both and stick to one, which gives a better user experience under your bandwidth conditions.
    a. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Drop frames option will intelligently drop some frames. As a result of this, you might observe video stalling depending upon the severity of the bandwidth conditions.
    b. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Degrade quality option with a min. video bit-rate value of say 500 kbps will try to encode all the frames within this 500 kbps limit. As you are reducing the bit-rate from the original value of say 800 kbps, the quality is bound to degrade. If you check the "preserve per frame quality" option then the encoder will encode >=50% of the frames within the specified bit-rate of 500 kbps. As the no. of frames are less the per frame quality will be better than the previous case. There is a possiblity that even after degrading quality, the buffer is exceeding the given limit then the degrade quality option will automatically switch to the drop frames option.
    4)Should I deinterlace my video?  We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher.  Everything is analog SD.
    --> Deinterlace option is only available for video sizes >= 640x480.

  • Help with movie settings

    I thank you in advance for your help with this!
    My website address I have a question about is
    www.holyredeemernorthbend.org
    and I have a question about the movie section.
    I am using iWeb to build my church's website. All is well except the movie page. I have only one movie uploaded so far, my old site had 6, each between 6 and 10 megs. On the old site I used microsoft Frontpage. The videos, all in WMV format, worked flawlessly. They used to download in Windows media player, and played immediately, but now that I am using iWeb they have to download before watching, AND if it is a Mac owner visiting the site they have to have flip4mac installed as a Quicktime plugin. PC users can't see them at all.
    It's not a problem for me to export the videos in another format, I would just like some help with the most universally excepted settings. I don't care if it's Quicktime, Flash, or Windows Media. What would be best for most internet users? And, can you put a movie on an iWeb made site, that will load into Windows Media Player as an option to quicktime? That is to say if I were to give the viewer a choice.

    iWeb writes page code that forces the QuickTime browser plug-in be used. Since your file is:
    http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/Media/Father%20Kies.wmv in Windows Media Player format Mac visitors must have Flip for Mac (I don't use it) and PC users can't use QuickTime to view WMP files.
    You can use iWeb to make a "direct" link (link to file). When the viewer click the link they would be able to download the WMP file. This would allow PC visitors to use Media Player and Mac visitors use Flip for Mac or Windows Media Player for Mac.
    Since iWeb forces QuickTime formats you should convert from .wmv to .mov formats to make your work easier.

  • Need help with video problems

    Hi!
    Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

    With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Need help with export settings...Please

    I am brand new to the camera I have but been using FCP for 6 years. The camera is a Panasonic HMC150 that records in the AVCHD codec. I have an Intel Imac 20 2.4 Ghz 4 gigs of ram. My audio/video settings for the sequence in FCP are as follows:
    Sequence pre set: Apple pro Res 422 1920-1080 60i 48khz (footage is 1080 60i)
    I Log and Transfer with no problem, edit no problem.
    My question is when I go to export the finished sequence to Idvd or DSP, what settings do I use?
    I have exported to quicktime movie file with "current settings" and I have had NO luck in compleely burning a DVD. Is this the correct setting? what is everyone else using? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    DVD is standard definition. You have to compress your HD material to SD first. Crack open the manual for Compressor or DVDSP and you'll get loads of valuable info. The first 30 or so pages of the DVDSP manual are quite informative, and easy to read.

  • Need help with compressor settings

    I hoped someone could help me with this. I have HD footage that has been captured in FCP as SD, so it's 4:3, with letter box so that the original 16:9 footage wasn't stretched.
    I need to make small Quicktime movies for streaming on the internet. I want to keep the proportions that I have, but I want to crop out the black letter box for a 320x180 video. How do I do this?
    I could also use help in determining which codecs to use. I want the best possible picture quality at a file size of less than 2MB per 1 min. of footage at the above dimensions.
    Please help if you can. Thanks!

    I'm also experimenting with the exact same thing. Only difference to yours - I am maintaining the 4:3.

  • HELP WITH VIDEOS

    Hi,
    I have an 80GB 5th generation ipod that was the ability to watch videos on it.
    But when i put them on my ipod i either just get the sound or a little sit frame picture and only half the videos audio.
    When im in itune, i import it from its location in my computer and convert it for the ipod. then manually put it in my ipod and then go to view it but it doesnt show the video playing with sound at all.
    what am i doing wrong?
    can anyone help??

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
    And also, on your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
    Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • Need Help With Video In Flex Mobile

    Hi,
    I have been searching quite a bit for information on this and have found really nothing useful for my problem. So far, I've converted the actionscript code posted here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
    to work within my ios mobile project. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, I can hear the video but not see it. That codes uses the OSMF framework, which uses StageVideo I think, so I've tried setting the application background alpha to 0 as has been posted about; still no video though. The project is also set to use direct rendering. I've even tried some bare bones AS code to implement the StageVideo, as others have posted here, but still same thing. So can anyone either show me a working example or provide any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
    thanks

  • Help with display settings needed urgently

    Graphics and icons that are supposed to be round appear oval. For instance the Safari and App icons on the dock appear very oval. Logos on websites I've visited before and I know are round appear oval.
    I've tried all display settings and nothing helps. I'm a designer and this is causing a major hinderance. Everything appears condenced / squashed sideways. I'd be very grateful if someone could help with this.
    I've just purchased the laptop. I have been using Mac for a few years and I've always selected the "stretched" option from the Display settings which sorted out the problem completely. A circle looked a proper circle. But in this version the option is not available.
    Badly hoping someone can help with this.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you have selected an incorrect resolution.  For starters, are you talking about your Air's display or an external display?  You haven't said which Air you have.  If you have an 11" model, make sure your display resolution is set to 1366x768.  If you have a 13" model, it should be set to 1440x900.  These are the proper resolutions for the built in displays.  Chosing anything other than the referenced "native" display resolutions will result in distortions or clarity problems.
