Codec settings for uploading Canon XF100 footages to Vimeo

I use a Canon XF100 camera and I want to upload the footages to Vimeo.com, what’s your recommend on the codec I should use?

Mp4 will be the universal format. I am using the H264 encoder in Pavtube with HD resolution. The program I use is Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac.

  • Import/export codecs/settings for FCE with HMC40 footage?(lengthy post)

    Hi all,
    I am pretty new to video editing in FCE, and brand new to 'tapeless workflow' (just bought a Panasonic HMC40)
    so am not sure of all the technical protocol yet.
    What is AVCHD as opposed to DV or HDV?
    What is meant by 'transcoded'?
    For the following series of questions, my final usage will be for the web, flash video (.flv file as converted in Adobe Media Converter from the quicktime file exported from FCE, unless there is a method to export directly to a flash video file from FCE i.e. what is the FLC format?) streaming from my server and played with a flash player (.swf file)
    Obviously, I would like to achieve the best quality possible while still maintaining a fast streaming time
    here is an example of the above: Road Runner Akron Marathon
    I see that if I go to menu-->final cut express-->easy setup I get a window with default import settings as in figure 1 below
    figure 1
    Which import format is best for footage from the HMC40, shooting at 108024p? 108030p? see figure 2 below
    figure 2
    Which import frame rate is best for footage from the HMC40, shooting at 108024p? 108030p? see figure 3 below
    (don't understand the odd frame rate choices of 25 and 29.97)
    figure 3
    The default import codec is DV-NTSC as seen in the popup menu in figure 4 below
    figure 4
    which of the above import codecs would you recommend for footage from the HMC40 if I am shooting in 108024p? 108030p?
    I am using the 'log and import' option for importing footage directly into projects from the SDHC card.
    Does the check box option under the 'import settings' tab mean that audio/video will be compressed
    with the import codec specified during 'import setup'? see figure 5 below
    figure 5
    When exporting from FCE with quicktime conversion, is it best to use
    the same type of codec as the import codec? see fig 6 below
    figure 6
    Thanks very much for any advice. Much appreciated.
    Best,
    Dennis

    Wow! A huge amount of questions, almost all of which are available using search engines. The forum isn't really designed to give you a detailed instruction on digital video or on basics of how to use the application.
    AVCHD is a highly compressed MPEG-4 based HD format. DV is a standard definition format. HDV is an MPEG-2 based HD format.
    FCE does not encode Flash. You need third party software.
    24p is not supported in FCE.
    If you're shooting HD you should select HD.
    25fps is for PAL based formats. 29.97fps is for North American based video standard. 24fps is a film frame rate. Most video cameras do not shoot 24fps, but 24fps recorded at 29.97 with pulldown. If your camera shoots true 24fps, it is not supported in FCE.
    What you select depends on exactly what you shot. Read the camera manual carefully for the different options of frame size. Native 24p is not supported in FCE. 30p can be ingested using a 1080i60 preset.
    How you export depends of where you're trying to get to. If you're going to third party encoding software you should export to QuickTime Movie.

  • Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

    Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
    I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
    I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
    Thank you,
    -Matt

    >When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
    I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same

  • What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

    I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
    (latest firmware installed)
    Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
    And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
    Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
    Thanks
    Jim

    Welcome to the Boards
    Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
    I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
    Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
    Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
    It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
    Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
    What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
    I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

  • UT Video Codec settings for AVCHD .mts transcoding

    Howdy,
    Been trying for a while to track down a jittery playback issue (as if frames are randomly held or skipped) when editing .mts files.
    Jittery in PPcc and also after exporting to whatever... and especially using Youtube and Vimeo export presets.
    VLC media player plays the .mts source files smoothly right off the SD card or HDD/SSD... most of the time, occasionally there is a hiccup but nothing like in PP.
    The clips that do this are pretty much all of the panning clips and shot in either 24fps or 60fps 1080p.
    I have seen this now on 2 different systems with different collections of .mts footage out of 2 different cameras.
    Mine is a PC (running WIN7 i7 3770K 3.5Ghz, 16GB, GTX 660) and the other is a more powerful Mac with 32GB RAM (accustomed to smoothly dealing with RED footage).
    I came across an Adobe suggestion to convert to a UTVideo codec ( http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/audio-video-glitches-avchd.html#id_49687 ) to deal with AVCHD... but it really didn't give much helpful info beyond the link to where it could be downloaded.
    I tried the suggestion, downloaded the codec suite, made a preset in Media Encoder and transcoded, but it plays even worse than the AVCHD does natively (VLC doesn't recognize that codec for testing)
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best settings for the UT Video transcoding and/or hardware/software settings for the smoothest PP playback of .mts clips? I see in the forums here and elsewhere that lots of folks have various problems working with .mts footage in PP... I am hoping there is a functional solution beyond what I have unsuccessfully tried:
    setting playback to 1/4 or 1/2
    rendering the sequance/timeline
    transcoding to .mp4/DNxHD
    clearing render files
    maximizing ram for PP usage
    closing all other apps
    importing the whole 'private' folder from the SD card (which I can't seem to get PP to recognize anyway, it only will import the individual .mts files as far as I can tell)
    changed power options
    turbo boost for the i7 on or off
    and some other trial-and-errors gleaned from the forums that I can't recall at the moment
    Any suggestions for what to try next or the proper settings for using the UT Video codec would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks/Cheers!

    Thanks Fuzzy!
    Great article and it led to some more testing with a couple different lens, pan speeds, shutter speeds and frame rate combos... but still I am not finding anything definitive, I still get random, choppy/juddery playback (never seems to occur in the same place each time).
    I have the frame drop indicator on and it says all is good (no dropped frames).
    VLC and PotPlayer tend to play the clips off the card just fine, but does once in a while skip... a data transfer problem? I have played off the SD card and SSD main drive and my media HDD.
    Caught a recent thread with others having sudden choppy playback, might be related?  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5938794#5938794
    I have PPro CC 7.2.0 (46) 
    But the suggestion to clear cache and reset preferences didn't seem to make a difference on my machine.
    Still ???
    Going to try playing the same clips on a friends SUPER Mac and see what happens... although he sees the same thing with the .mts footage he already has.
    Onward!

  • Best codecs/settings for CD ROM?

    i'm creating a CD ROM-type presentation via shockwave director that has a slew of embedded quicktime videos in it (generally playing at 720x400). right now the videos are rather large and bulky and i'd like to compress them so they play better (don't tax the processors) and don't take up too much hard drive space (the presentation will be loaded onto 7 different laptops - 6 PCs one MAC).
    what's the best video codec and settings for computer-based embedded quicktime files? i'm using FCP5 and have compressor 2.0.1
    any suggestions?
    dual 2 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Why not start with one of CD compressor formats, and see if it works?
    Compression is a compromise between size and quality.
    What is best depends on what is important to you.

  • RAW Plist settings for a Canon Powershot S40

    I have a lot of RAW Canon .CRW's in iPhoto. I now use Aperture for my Canon EOS 20d, but would like to use Aperture for my old S40 digicam photos.
    I tried editing RAW Plist by copying one of the sections (Canon s60). However, white highlights are blown out to fluorescent pink.
    Any recommendation as to the correct RAW settings I should edit into RAW Plist?
    Thank you.

    Hi David,
    I work with a Pentax *ist DS which also isn't supported (yet?) in the Raw.plist. I changed the existing entry from Pentax *ist D to Pentax *ist DS which allows Aperture to at least read the raw files... but the colours were not quite correct. However, there is a trick which partially alleviates the problem.
    If you look closely at the Raw.plist, you'll find that there are one to several matrices for each model, called m1, m2, mc (and possibly others). Now, the values for at least the m2 matrix can be found in the open source "dcraw" (on which part of Aperture's raw developer appears to be based).
    Thus, load the source of dcraw (look it up via google), and find the matrix appropriate for your camera in that code. The numbers given there need to be divided by 1000 (example: 10948 becomes 1.0948). Next, you need to replace the m2 matrix' values in the Raw.plist with those from dcraw, and you're set.
    I haven't yet found with what to replace the m1 and mc matrix values. I guess that the various matrices are used by Aperture for various white points (d50, d65, etc) and help Aperture to get the colour of your photos right. However, with the method described above, you'll get rather accurate colour reproduction as long as your white balance settings were correct while you took your photo.
    Other camera specific values in the Raw.plist seem to contain the settings for camera-specific noise reduction, sharpening, boost etc. - I don't know anything about these (yet).
    Now if somebody could show how to determine the values for the m1 and mc matrices, that would be a great help.
    Kind regards,
    Karl

  • Cannot change codec settings for Quicktime export?

    I have Quicktime installed, and it shows up as an Export option in Premiere Pro. However the options are extremely limited. Under the Video tab, there is a button for "Codec Settings" but it is greyed out. You can't choose whether you want CBR or VBR. Under the Audio tab, there is also a "Codec Settings" tab, but it too is greyed out. I can't even change the bitrate settings for AAC audio. Actually, it doesn't even tell you what bitrate it's exporting at, let alone let you change it.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Possibly.
    Some codecs have settings and some don't. If you pick one off of the list that has settings, you will have more success at changing parameters.
    First things first. Does your list of codecs look something like this? If so, select the appropriate codec for your needs and see if it has options. None of the Quicktime exports has the option of changing from CBR to VBR as far as I can tell and to be honest I don't know which is being used. You didn't say if you were on a Mac or a PC but if you are on a PC you might consider using an H.264 export instead.

  • HTML5 MP4 Codec Settings for Safari 5.1.5

    Hello all,
    I am having a problem with HTML4 MP4 h.264 videos in Safari 5.1.5 only running under Lion. Does anyone have any exactly specifications for compressing videos that will play in this version of Safari? Also, if you have sucessfully exported videos for 5.1.5 what software are you using to encode? I have tried several options (After Effects, QT7 etc) and not had any luck. Thank you!

    Getting mp3 music out of your 4 satelite speakers and center channel requires either enabling the X-Fi CMSS 3D Sorround setting in your Audio Console or, alternately, if using your X-Fi card with an external Decoder, you could (if available on your decoder) enable Dolby PLII Music enhancement or X2 Stereo enhancement. I personally prefer the results from enabling CMSS 3D Surround and then adjusting my center channel for an even sound stage. Crystalizer Mode: In general, 24-bit Crystalizer produces crisper high frequencies, punchier mid-range percussion and note onsets, and stronger kick bass hits. I'm not sure that I would use the Crystalizer Mode as a substitute for good EQ settings but perhaps in conjuction would be the best approach. Depending on the 5. speaker system you have, Base Redirect shouldn't have to be used unless your satelite speakers and center channel are playing Bass frequencies that really should be assigned to the Sub-woofer. Some speaker sets and amplifiers have bass redirection feature i.e. you do not need discrete 5. signal to hear the sound on the subwoofer. Such sets always output bass - even if you connect a normal stereo source. Again, however, it is possible that if you have an analogue speaker set that does not support automatic Bass Redirection via the amplifier, then you would have to enable Bass Redirect at the sound card level in order to redirect the lowest frequencies to the subwoofer. I do not have to conduct a Bass Redirection, however, not all systems are equal in terms of functionality. The best settings for a 5. system are really contigent on the room size, speaker type and placement, room wall materials, amplifier type, content played (movies, music, spoken word., etc.) and, listeners personal preference. Personaly I would run the supplied Speaker Calibration utility and when you have the sound you personally enjoy, stick with it. Best advise I can offer to be perfectly honest. Hope this helped.

  • Final Cut Pro Settings For AVCHD Canon HFS100

    Hi friends,
    I am new to Final cut pro and digital video. I just purchased a Canon HFS 100 and am shooting in 30p and am going to be editing on FCP 6.0.1. From Easy Setup on FCP I have changed the FORMAT to HD, RATE to 29.97 and USE to DVCPRO HD -1080p30. Will this be the most favorable settings if I want to make high quality HD videos for the web. Or should I leave it on FCP Easy Setup default which is FORMAT: all formats, RATE: all rates and USE: Custom Setup.
    Thanks.

    Hi Khorsani,
    welcome to the arena.
    Your version of FCP was the [first one|http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0_rn/index.html#appleref%3Adoc%3Auid%3ATempBookID-ReplacedWhenAssociatingWithMessierRevision-CH1-SW59 ] to offer some support for AVCHD.
    You want to use Log&Transfer (FCP main menu>File or ShiftCommand8)to convert your footage to ProRes or AIC, which are editable formats that FCP likes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0rn/
    Also [Read this|http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandworkfl ows/index.html#chapter=6%26section=2%26tasks=true] for more general info.
    Connect your camera to your machine, then try to Log&Transfer.
    Please note that AVCHD support was improved with following FCP 6.0.x versions so you may want to update your current version if something does not work.
    To update just click on the Blue Apple of the OS top menu and look for software updates.

  • Export settings for high quality R3D footage

    Greetings Adobe Community.
    I've been working on a Project using 5K R3D footage directly into Adobe Premiere Pro. Now it's time to export and I'd like to know what would the output settings need to be in order for the footage not to loose quality and have a relatively compact size at the same time.
    I am working on a 5 minute short. I exported a 35 second scene to a Quicktime ProRes4444 codec. Beautiul quality, but the file was a little over 1Gb. Should I export QuickTime or Mpeg?
    I know ProRes 4444 will give me huge files... should I go 422?
    Thanks in advance

    I wouldn't throw away valuable chroma info going to 422 if you have 5K footage.
    I'd find a AVC-Intra or other codec that is 444.
    MPEG2 doesn't support 444
    h.264 does but I'm not aware of any Premiere plugin encoder that does 444.
    I think you're better off staying with the ProRes444. 1Gig isn't that big since 1Tb is less than $100 these days. Heck, 1Gig fits easy onto a usb thumb drive - so shipping it to someone is still dirt cheap.
    for 5 minutes that's 10x more (5min = approx 10 x 35seconds) so you're still only looking at 10Gbytes total size.
    If storage is important stay with an 444 format with some other non-ProRes/DNxHD format like h.264 (assuming you can find a 444 solution).

  • Best Presets and Export Settings for GoPro and Iphone Footage?

    Is there a good preset that will handle Iphone 4/4s/5 video footage (720P on the 4 and 1080P on the 4S/5), and My GoPro HD Hero2? I typically record on the GoPro in 1080 30FPs, or 720P 60FPS. I generally produce videos with both types of footage.
    What about exporting the footage? I prefer max quality. I store files on PC, and typically upload to youtube ( I have no restrictions to length or size on YT)

  • Codec settings for Mpeg-2 to Mov ?

    Hi, I have a few music videos that I want to import to my iTunes library. They're all in Mpeg2 format. My question is what codec should I use for best quality of the output file and what settings should I use for that. Qtime is 7.03. version.
    One more thing - as the resolution is 480x576(4:3 aspect ratio), what size do I give to the output to look normal as it won't be dv played anymore?
    10x
      Windows XP  

    QuickTime 7 has some "flaws". I hope they are addressed in updates.
    You are smart enough to know the square versus rectangular pixel issue with DV formats. QuickTime 7 (and some of its presets) do not properly export DV sourced files. The preset "Movie to iPod" will turn an NTSC DV file to an unusually shape. I expect the PAL version does the same.
    An export to square pixel dimensions, to maintain a 4:3 or 16:9 ratio, may help your export. Use a "loss-less" codec like animation first and then convert.
    Your MPEG-2 files are designed for playback on a DVD player.
    I don't understand why QT 7 Pro does this on some files and not on others. When I export from 720X480 (DV pixels) I nearly always get a 640X480 .mov file.

  • How do I set my printer settings for a Canon Pixma MX870?

    I have installed and updated the drivers.

    On my Brother's PC he has 'Canon My Printer' which is were he set up the setting for his computer. It was not on the instualtion disc for the printer and I can't seem to find the download on the Canon website.
    Im on OS X Lion 10.7.4.
    Please Help.

    I knew that was going to be an issue. Renaming the audio files. To change the name of an audio file do it within the project. You want to go to the media bin. where your audio files are. _WITH IN THE PROJECT_. You can just double click on them and rename them. and yes be very name specific. so no audio file ever has a chance to have the same name.
    The audio files in the bin are in there own separate folders. You want to rename the folder that contains the audio file to, eg, Mary had a little lamb kick drum take 752. The renamed audio file folder will reflect in the timeline and in your project audio folder. But now the audio file can have a different name than the folder, the next is least important, but you may just want your track to be called Kick. So you can double click on the track header and give it a name kick. then you can right click on the audio in the timeline of the corresponding track and select, Track names to regions. Now the track name, the region within the timeline, and the region within the Mary had a little lamb kick drum take 752 folder within the bin will have the name kick. but wait there's more, lol. just kidding.
    So maybe the case is now that you don't really want to put all audio files from all songs in one folder, just all audio files from one song into one folder right.
    This way each song has its own folder containing the audio. This is standard practice. Its just a given when you create a project.

Maybe you are looking for
