Compressor Help for HDCam Tape Layoff

I have footage that was shot on the RED, graded and output via Apple Color, and now has the following specs:
resolution: 2048x1152
pixel aspect ratio: square
frame rate: 23.98
field dominance: none
and I need to lay it off to HDCam for screening purposes. The venue has requested
"an Apple Pro Res QT to be laid off to HDCam tape at 1080i/59.94"
What's the best way to get them my footage without it getting mangled in the process?

As noted above, there are 6 versions of "ProRes Quicktime". It doesn't hurt to verify exactly which one.
Getting it done ....
Open up Compressor
Select the appropriate ProRes preset in Settings. It can be found in Apple> Advanced format conversions folder.
Copy it and select the copy in the Settings list.
Go to the Inspector window.
Change the name to something meaningful to you - "Red to ProRes 1080i" would work for me.
Start working through the settings. The key thing to keep in mind is you are turning a progressive 23.98 large raster image into an interlaced 29.97 smaller raster image. You will want to have FRAME CONTROLS turned on to get the best frame rate and image size conversion.
Do some tests with smaller segments to judge time vs quality. Unless there is a decided quality benefit THAT YOU CAN SEE, stay away from BEST. It adds enormously to the time.
Or, find someone with a Kona3 that can do the conversion to 1080i ProRes for you in hardware.
If you have additional questions, post back.
Good luck.

  • Copying HDCAM Tapes

    Hi there, if someone could help me with this and point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it. Hopefully it's fairly simple!!
    Basically a friend of mine has some HDCAM tapes that he needs create duplicate copies of in HDCAM before returning the tapes. I've offered to help and really need some advice as to the easiest way to do this without loosing quality. I have a Kona 3 card if i need to capture the footage and then print back out to tape again but this seems perhaps a little laboured as the footage does not need to be cut yet. I'm fairly new to the Kona 3 and HD workflows in general so want to make sure I get this right, and as it's a favour, I can't spend too much time on it!!
    I did think the easiest & quickest way could be to link 2 HDCAM tape decks together and copy directly like that but was not sure if there was any limitations with this in terms of quality or anything else I may have missed while thinking about this.
    Any advise to help me get this right will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    HDCAM VCRs have a gazillion menu settings, and if you're not familiar with what each relevant menu does, you could make an inadequate dub.
    IMO, he should take his cassettes to a facility that can handle the dubbing for him. The facility will also have the proper monitoring capabilities, to make sure the finished dubs are properly recorded.

  • I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

  • Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio

    Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
    I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
    There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
    So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
    Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
    Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
    Thanks for any and all help...
    the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:
    from:
    http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&mess age.id=22987&query.id=96226#M22987
    For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
    VIDEO
    - X264 Encoding
    - framesize can be any
    - framerate can be any
    AUDIO
    - any MP3 or AAC track
    OPTIONS
    - Use CABAC on
    - Constant bitrate on
    - Trellis on
    - Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
    - AVC level 3.0
    This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.
    Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.

    I have created files to play on PS3, and the secret is to use MPEG Streamclip. You can encode to whatever you want in MPEG2 or MPEG4, then open that bad boy in MPEG Streamclip:
    If it's MPEG2, File > convert to TS
    If it's MPEG4: File > Save As MP4
    That's it. MPEG Streamclip doesn't re-encode so no quality loss. All it does is change the container. And PS3 is very picky about containers.
    As for 5.1 audio, you can do this by encoding separate MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files like you normally would for a DVD. For hi-def MPEG2, use one of the Compressor presets for HD-DVD. Make sure they both have the same name ("xxx.m2v" and "xxx.ac3", for instance) and are in the same folder. Then open the video in MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically mux the streams together, which can then be converted to TS.
    Note that this is only possible encoding video to MPEG2. I don't know of any way to create an MP4 with 5.1 audio.
    PS3 is a great way to deliver HD video onto your TV without the frustration of trying to author Blu-Ray or even burning discs.

  • Working with HDCAM tapes

    Good Afternoon!
    My experience is limited to SD capturing and editing.
    Now, however, I have been given some HDCAM tapes to capture and I am unsure how to proceed. I will be renting a HDCAM deck. Do I need a Kona card? (I have one, but have never used it.) What capture setting do I use? Do I edit offline?
    I know these are elementary questions, so I respectfully appreciate any guidance.

    I need an HD capture even if I am editing offline?
    You need an HD capture card if you intend to capture HD. They are the only thing that can interpret the HD signal...even if you capture as DV...you still need an HD capture card.
    I was under the impresssion that one does not actually edit with uncompressed HD footage, instead you work offline with compressed codecs, and then somehow batch capture only the HDCAM footage that was used in the timeline.
    It is typical to offline...yes. DVCPRO HD is a decent offline codec. HOWEVER, some people edit at full quality if they only have a small amount of footage to work with. Or, you can now opt to capture as ProRes and work in that resolution. Full HD quality, but a fraction of the HD filesize. This would be a good option to go with, because FCP isn't the best at the offline/online workflow. It works for some, not for others...and has a variety of hiccups. If you have time to deal with those hiccups, then offline/online is a definate possibility. One that I'd look into if I had a LOT of footage...and I tend to have a LOT of footage.
    Not sure on the delivery format, but I do know that it is playing in a theater.
    You need to know this BEFORE YOU CAPTURE. This determines the entire workflow. Find this out before you do anything.
    And you will need an HD monitor if you intend on doing the online/color correct yourself. If you don't, then no worries...you can do without it. The place you finish it will no doubt have one.

  • Need to restrict values in F4 help for Batch Characteristic

    Hi,
    I need to restrict values in F4 Help for a batch characteristic based on values entered for another characteristic. I could not find any BADI or Exit for this purpose. There is a BADI CACL_VALUE which is triggered after an entry is selected from dropdown list but nothing when we press F4. I thought of using Object Dependency but I need to write a programming logic for the requirement. Please let me know if there is any way to write program in Object Dependency or any other way for this requirement.

    Hi nikhil simha,
    first of all, find out which search help is called.
    [Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]
    may help you.
    If you know the search help, you may enhance it, but first of all you should check the where-used-list and make sure that the search help shows the requested behavior only in the context where you want it to.
    If it is your own program, you may be better off to create your own search help and define the triggering fields as search help interface input fields. Then you can use the values to filter results.

  • Search Help for Vendor Feild not getting populated in the Screen Element

    Hi Everyone,
    In transaction Miro, I get a POP-UP for Invoicing Party i.e. Vendor and Users required a custom search help.
    The Search help for Vendor(LIFNR) is KRED_C and i appended a Z search help under this.
    Now that the search help exists and I can drill down the values too but when i select/choose any value,  that value is not getting populated in Screen feild.
    is there any validation I need to do for this.
    Please suggest me... I checked SDN there are many things but i couldn't figure out wat i need to do and where I need to modify.

    Dear Hema,
    Could you please tell me how many internal tables you are using to store the data for display.
    I observerd that you have lt_stock and lt_mat2 declared in the part of the program
    >DATA: lv_stock TYPE lty_stock.
    >DATA: ltmat2 TYPE TABLE OF lty_mat.
    you have displayed above, however you are also using ls_stock and lv_stock .
    >IF p_ztotal = ' '. "line
    >WRITE 18 ls_stock-matnr.
    >WRITE 38 lv_stock-strgr.
    >
    >ELSEIF ztotal = 'S'.                             "subtotal
        >WRITE: 15 ls_stock-nrmit.
        >WRITE 32 lv_stock-dispo.                    
        >WRITE 43 lv_stock-fevor.                      
      >ELSE.                                            "total
        >WRITE: 15 'TOTAL'(016), ls_stock-prgrp.
    >
      >ENDIF.
    Are those for displaying some other information?
    Also the problem of display you are facing can also be because there are no records to be displayed which satisfies the selection criteria.
    Best Regards,
    Rajesh.
