Converted 7D Footage to ProRes422(HQ) - But still choppy, Image freezes

I'm working with Canon 7D footage.
I've converted the footage to ProRes422(HQ) using Compressor but when I try to play it back in FCP 7, it the image freezes a few frames into the clip. Audio is fine.
Isn't this the right codec? Is it a setting in FCP that I am missing?
Please help.

ProRes422 (HQ) is overkill for the highly compressed H264 format that this camera shoots.
Transcode to regular ProRes or even ProRes LT. Going to HQ will not make the footage that you shot any better than it already is.

    I agree with Harm on both points. You should turn off cropping completely if you're going from a DV source (which you are) to an MPEG-2 DVD output (which you are). Just click the Crop button "off" on the Source tab.
    If you're seeing weird distortions on some television/DVD players, you may have the aspect ratio settings set improperly in the DVD players themselves. Typically, these settings need to be changed when you're viewing anamorphic (16:9 widescreen) DVDs; you change the setting to match your display preference to your television. Sometimes, the settings are not correct, and will result in unwanted stretching. This isn't necessarily the problem you're up against, but it might be something to check if things don't look right. Other than that, everything looks more or less correct in the export settings.

  • Can you Up-Convert SD footage to HD in Compressor? Question in 2 parts

    Hi guys, this may sound silly but I have to ask if this is possible.
    My question is in 2 parts!
    1. I have SD Footage, shot with XL2 at 60i and I am trying to achieve best picture quality to burn in DVDSP.
    Can I up-convert it to HD in Compressor 3? If so, which preset would I use?
    2. If it is possible to up-convert SD footage to HD,
    Can you still burn the up-converted HD video on a regular SD DVD in DVDSP if it fits on a single or dual layer disc?
    Thank you,
    Z

    For starters, you can't make SD turn into HD. It's just not possible. Something was shot at a resolution of 720x480 which means it will never become 1280x720 or 1920x1280. That being said, there are hardware solutions called line doublers which can upscale for you, but those are expensive and not really what you even asked about so nevermind. Upscaling DVD players add pixels by interpolating info in between real pixels and adding what it think might go there. After this, filters are added to blend and soften and then some sharpening is added. I have seen DVD players that do a really nice job of this and others that don't.
    Anyway, you can blow up your footage in compressor but not upscale as far as I know. The best quality footage however is going to be 720x480 since that is your source. This is especially true if you are playing back on an SD TV which only has a resolution of 720x480.
    Did that help? I think I rambled a little.

  • I installed Camera Raw 8.3 but still not working for my Nikon Df

    Camera Raw 8.3 is not compatible with CS5 so I suspect you've actually got Camera Raw 6.7 installed.
    In Photoshop, click Help (Windows) or Photoshop (Mac) > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    The Nikon Df was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.

    You cannot open Df Raw files in CS5 so you'll have to convert to DNG then open the DNGs in CS5.

    Hi azza675,
    ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and several others). What you describe, sounds like you're trying to convert a file *to* PDF. Did you ever start a trial of Acrobat, perhaps? (Whereas you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF doesn't let you convert files to PDF.)
    What happens when you log in directly to ExportPDF at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?
    Best,
    Sara

  • I have an iMovie that I created 10 years ago.  I found the disk and imported.  Everything is there except the sound!  I converted in Wondershare to MPV4 but still no sound.  There is an audio clip that was imported from an analog video camera.

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

  • FCE4 - can I convert HD footage to Standard Definition to put on a DVD

    My Panasonic HD camcorder will only record in HD, with no option for Standard Def.
    Can FCE4 convert HD footage so I can convert it as if SD and then transfer to DVD (rather than Bluray Disc).
    Many thanks
    Matt

    You say that when you tried iDVD earlier you got jerky footage.
    This sounds rather like the problem I discovered 18 months ago with my HDV camera.
    Still shots were reck solid but any subject or camera movement (panning) resulted in unacceptable judder and shimmer.
    There are 2 workarounds I eventually came across.
    1. Use your camera to down-convert to DV-PAL as you capture and edit it as DV. However, if your camera can't down-convert you will have to use method 2.
    2. Edit your AIC in the timeline. Then create a new DV-PAL (NTSC) Anamorphic sequence. Copy your edited HDV/AIC to the new sequence. Do not alter anything. Render the sequence ..... this will take a long time - up to twice the length of the project. Then File>Export>QuickTime Movie (Not Self-contained).
    However, if you use the QT Movie in iDVD you will get a squashed 4:3 movie, so first of all you must make QT stretch it out to its proper 16:9 dimensions like this:-
    a. Open the exported movie file in the QT Pro player.
    b. Go to Window>Show Movie Properties.
    c. Select the "Video Track" and in the "Visual Settings" panel uncheck "Preserve Aspect Ratio".
    d. In the "Scaled Size" box set the width to 1024 pixels for PAL.
    e. The "Video Track" will have turned grey, so click it to make it blue again.
    f. The opened movie file will jump to 16:9.
    g. Close it with the red button and click Save.
    If you haven't got QT Pro you may be able to export using QT Conversion to DV-PAL, changing the output size to 1024x576.

  • Converting .mpg footage

    I have some very valuable footage that I was given in the .mpg format. The only app that could open it was VLC.
    I tried to import it to FCP(6), but no dice, wouldn't take it.
    Would like eventually to import for use in an apple prores timeline.
    Any suggestions as to how to handle/convert this footage?
    Many thanks,
    MP

    on OSX lion or later, quicktime X includes mpeg2 functionality. that is why you cannot buy - you own it already.
    nevertheless, streamclip needs the component.
    since i always have owned quicktime pro and still have quicktime 7 on my system, i never ran into that problem.
    but many people do - there is some help on the square5 website. i found the text below in a forum post, it is from square5. just check whether this is correct for your version of streamclip.
    good luck!
    Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion.
    The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion.
    For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. 
You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

    I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
    1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior?  As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
    2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching.  Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into?  Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
    3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...?  I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on.  An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive.  The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted.  It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
    4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back?  Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint.  Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
    Thanks to your help

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • I cannot open images from my new NikonD3300 in Elements 11 , I have downloaded and installed CameraRaw 8.4 and DNG convertor but still won't open!

    I wonder if anyone can help with the above question about Elements 11 and my not being able to open Raw images, I have tried downloading and installing Cmaera raw 8.4 and DNG convertor but still not opening have not had truoble with D200 or lumix G5. thanks Yvonne

    The D3300 requires Camera Raw 8.4 but Camera Raw 8.4 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Camera Raw 8.4 is not compatible with Elements 11 and never will be.
    You'll have to either a) upgrade to Elements 12, or b) use the DNG converter to convert all D3300 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 11.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D200 requires Camera Raw 3.3 (or later) and the Lumix G5 requires Camera Raw 7.2 (or later) both of which are compatible with Elements 11.

  • How to convert avchd footage when it's on your hard drive in your computer?

    hey guys, I have a problem. I have a Sony Hdr-sr7 hard drive avchd camcorder and I can convert the footage to pro res just fine when i plug in my camera via usb. but when I download the avchd files (.mts .mt2s) to my mac hard drive I'm not able to convert then in the L&T window in FCP. Can you help me here? I have never been able to figure it out.
    Thanks.

    For L&T to recognise the AVCHD files, you need to preserve the full directory structure of the camera when you copy the footage to your Mac i.e. don't just copy across the folder which contains the AVCHD files.
    Assuming you have the full directory structure in place on your Mac, point L&T to the top level directory.
    There are also alternatives to L&T which don't require the full directory structure to be in place.
