Compression for ftp transfer before re-editing footage in FCP

Hi to all,
I am soon going to be receiving DV footage daily,that is going to be sent via ftp transfer. I will then be editing that footage and posting it on the web.
The people sending the footage will have little internet access time during their trip.
Since the end result is for web purposes, i would like the shooters to compress their PAL footage in 320x240 before posting in on the ftp.
Would anyone have any suggestions as far as to what would be the most appropriate compression options out of FCP for it to be light enough to travel fast, and easily re-imported in FCP after arrival.
I would assume i would then calibrate my projet to the settings that have been sent, right?
thanks for your help.
Tee.

Thanks for your answers.
I'm aware of the terrible quality loss that will be occurring.
The end format is for the web, and the idea is to keep a chronicle of the 2 week event, with a short video update.
The subject matter is what is of importance here. The event is a 2 week demonstration across europe against unemployment and growing social injustice.
It would be great to have more time and money to use the original footage (via fedex and later editing).
But i will try diffrent transfer options. One may work.
My main question is, (with this totally random example)
lets say i receive a compressed sorenson 3 .mov at 320x240 frame size, with a keyframe at every 15i, sound converted to stereo AAC at 96 kbps....
When i import that file in final cut,can i adjust my presets to match that?
Or will i need to edit in a DVPAL 720x576 preset, and render...
thanks again;
tee.

HD edited footage in FCP 5.1 to DVDSP 4 to "build and format" to where now?

97 minute movie shot with Sony's HDV-FX1, edited in FCP 5.1, exported to QuickTime movie, full quality, current settings. Imported into DVDSP 4.1, parsed, no problem, authored with HD settings, and built project. DSP produced a proper HDDVD_TS folder. With Apple DVD Player 4.6.5 on my duel 1.8 G5, this plays just fine.
With Toast 8 and a NU Technology Blu-ray burner (Matshita BD-MLT SW 5528), DVD-ROM (UDF), new disc, named and imported the HD file. Clicked record, selected 1x DB write speed to be on the safe side, used both a Panasonic BD-RW and a TDK BD-RW single layer disc and burned successfully. Neither disc now, to my ultimate frustration, will play in our Samsung Blu-ray DVD player or play with Apple's DVD Player. Both report a message about not supporting the media type, although the disc does mount on my G5 via the Blu-ray drive.
Thoughts on where to go from here? Our movie plays fine downconverted to 480i, but we would love to see it play in High def at 1080i.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

David,
That is the answer to why I am unable to use the "build and format" option in DSP? Seems crazy that the option is there, but the function isn't.
Did the Toast product manager give any hint as to when this option may be available? I knew were we sailing into unchartered waters, but we had hoped that by the time we were done with post that the path had already been navigated
Thanks,
Larry

Is there any support for data transfer compression in oracle XE?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I am wondering whether it is possible to ask database and JDBC driver to use some sort of compression for data transfer?
I want to reduce the network workload as much as possible.
Thanks

AFAIK, Not directly from Oracle.

Importing and editing footage with two different cameras

I am editing a film that has footage caught and imported from two different cameras. Some of the footage is from a handheld HD camera that I have worked with before and use an "Easy Setup of Apple Intermediate Codec, 29.97 fps, HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60." I want to add some video footage that I shot with my Canon Rebel t2i. I searched a number of threads and concluded that when working with a project shot with the t2i, I should have the the Easy Setup be "HD, 29.97fps, DVCPRO HD 1080p30" (side question: is this correct?). My question is when starting a project where I will be using footage from both cameras, what Easy Setup should I use and is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Shane-- Thanks for the willingness to help. I am in Helena, but travel all over the state for work--I am a fly fishing and bird hunting guide who likes to do some amateur filming and editing on the side. Love Missoula, Bozeman, Flathead area, etc! And since you are willing to be so helpful, I guess I should start with a go Cats!
I am brand new to FCP, having previously worked a fair amount with FCE4. I actually do have FCP 7 and work with it on my Macbook Pro. My handheld camera is a JVC Everio that captures in AVCHD (1920x1080). I had my Easy Setup in FCE4 as Apple Intermediate Codec. If I use footage from this camera in FCP7, should I continue to do this?
So not only am I new to FCP7, but I just bought the T2i and really am not totally sure what I am doing yet. I just got the Canon EOS Movie Plug-in and modified it according to some threads I read so that it works for the T2i. I also found directions on the Canon website on the proper way to Log and Transfer for T2i footage (side question: can I dump the files off my T2i onto an external HD and then Log and Transfer them into FCP7 from the external, and is there anything I need to know about when doing this?)
So now that you know that I am very knew to FCP7 and the T2i, maybe I should start from scratch. When I log and transfer, what format should I use when I transcode? ProRes 442? And then, however you suggest I should transcode, what should my Easy Setup look like for footage from the T2i?
Wow, if you are still reading at this point, and I haven't exhausted you with all of my questions and naivety, my final question is...once I have become comfortable with importing and editing footage from the T2i, what should I do if I want to log and transfer and then edit footage from both cameras? Do I need to change the Easy Setup? Do I need to make other changes?
Thanks again in advance for all of your help and patience!!!

Compression for 720PN 24P footage

What is the best compression method for footage shot in 720pn 24p to preserve maximum quality? And also, another good compression for a sharable file?

What is the best compression method for footage shot in 720pn 24p to preserve maximum quality?
DVCPRO HD 720p24. There is an Easy Setup in FCP for this...if you capture from tape. And if you capture via firewire, you can only get full quality. If you import from P2, it only comes in at full quality as well. By full quality I mean ZERO loss. Firewire capture is a data transfer.
And also, another good compression for a sharable file?

One small correction-- you do not use File-->Import. You must use Log and Transfer in FCP 7 or Import From Camera/Import Media in FCP X. In FCP 7 the clips will be automatically converted to ProRes upon import. In FCP X you can choose to work with the native files (re-wrapped to .mov) or you can optionally transcode to ProRes. When importing in FCP X, enable the 'create optimized media files' option to convert to ProRes. If you do not enable this option the files will remain in their native codec.

I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems. This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box. Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

Steps for File Transfer through FTPS...!!!

Hi ,
Can anyone please tell the steps for file transfer with FTPS.
Does PI file adapter has bulilt in feauture to handle this? or
Do we need to deploy anything to handle this?
Do we need to install any certificates by requesting from partner or It will do the encryptions/authentications on its own?
Any additional Steps we need to mention in File receiver adapter while we send the file through FTPS?
File is going through port 1090(unsecure connection) but it is not going through port (990) which is a secure connection.
Please suggest me.
Thanks
Krupakar

Hi Shabarish,
We got the certificate from the partner and loaded into the trusted CA's. I tried running by giving
Connectivity Security as "FTPS for Control and Data Connection" and Command Order as "AUTH TLS,USER,PASS,PBSZ,PROT"
Ip: XXX.YY.YY.ZZZ
Port: 990
User and pwd.
and I am getting the same below error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
I tried by selecting different options like
1. Without selecting the X509 certificate for client authentication.
2. Keystore as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
3. Keystore as TRUSTED\view
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\entry-cert
4.Keystore as "view"
X509 certificate and private key as "entry-cert"
Please help me in this.
Thanks

Exporting an Apple ProRes before compressing for SD-DVD or Blu-ray (or AVCH

Hello,
this is my question:
does exporting a sequence to an Apple ProRes Self Contained file helps to gain quality when compressing for SD-DVD or Blu-ray (or AVCH disc)?

Thanks for answering, Tom.
Let me try again, though. (Also, just thinking about the footage, forgetting about effects, titles, etc.)
Do you think that this applies to DV-NTSC and HDV sequences?
I've compared a DV-NTSC sequence exported out using:
DV-NTSC compression and one -using Apple ProRes.
They do look different. Wouldn't you agree to this?
What about HDV,
- is it erroneous to think that (when capturing) by transcoding to AIC or ProRes you are gaining some quality?
- or if you already capture HDV natively, it doesn't make a difference to export an ApplePro Res version to make a SD-DVD from?
I am concerned with this, because I shot once some HDV footage at night with a Sony Camera, going to a hard drive, and when I transcoded the files from the hard drive to use in FCP, (using MPEG streamclip) I noticed a relevant difference in how much the noise was noticeable on the HDV compressed files vs. the apple ProRes compressed files.
Have you ever seen these differences?
Thanks!!!

Is anyone using iMovie 08 for editing footage from a Canon 5D Mark 11?

I'm interested to converse with anyone that is using iMovie 08 to edit Movie files from the Canon 5D Mark 11.

HI Stephen,
I have iMovie 09 on order hoping that it would alleviate this issue - sounds like it does not. Similarly to you, my footage imports fine, but the application crashes when the curser is moving over the video. I am lead to believe that iMovie just cannot cope with the high resolution of the 5D Mark 11.
I have tried the same files on other Macs and the same issue occurs, so it is not my machine or software issues on my machine. All of my software is up to date - except for Quicktime. I am running 7.5.5, so don't bother trying to roll back from 7.6 because it will not help.
I have also tried the footage on Final Cut Express and it crashes that application as well. I understand the Final Cut Pro can work with the files. At this stage I presume that Canon 5D mark11 users cannot edit footage on iMovie or FCE and possibly some other applications.
Let us hope and pray that Apple and Canon can sort this out!

FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

Hi,
I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
Open the L&T window.
Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
