Converting from HD 720p50 to what?

I am shooting with the great Sony XDCAM EX-1 in HD 720p50 (which will probagly become the most used HD standard format for HD broadcast in Europe where I live). I am editing in FCP6 using the XDCAM EX 720p50 (35 mbps) preset. The video plays back perfect in the canvas on my MacPro. When I export the sequence via Compressor and choose the AppleProRes 422 Quicktime setting, the exported video also look perfect (and plays back nicely on my Mac), but the size (2 minutes and 12 sec playing time, 2,9 Gbyte size) and datarate is too big for any use other than on my Mac. So, the question is:
Since this is the first time I have been shooting in 50p, I have no experience with converting this video to formats that most people can watch. In other words, what are the best settings in Compressor to create Quicktime movies suitable for:
1. Vimeo (they accept HD video - I am not sure about size limits and datarate)
2. A downloadable MPEG4 H.264 which is below 100 Mbyte in size
3. A Quicktime move suitable for my AppleTV (I have had ok results with creating H.264 files as big as 1280x720 with 4061 kbps and 24 fps).
4. It looks like YouTube will show video with higher quality these days. What is the best format and compression to use when I create the video I will upload to YouTube? (Wonder if they will accept and show real 16:9 soon...?)
5. Is it realistic to use 50 fps in the HD videos I will distribute on the web, or will this fast frame rate be too much for most computers out there?
6. Is H.264 a compression that most PC and Mac-users will handle, or should I choose a different compression?
7. Will I get better results if I create new sequences with different video compression within FCP and paste my clips into them before I export the sequence, or is it ok to use Compressor with different settings?
I am thankful for any quality response to these questions i will let you know how this develops, and where you can find the final video online later.

'Will this alternate method that you provided keep the 16:9 aspect ratio, or will the video become 4:3? '
-It will be 4:3 letterboxed.
" I still have my mini DV camera and if I would like to export from an HD sequence to tape, I would need to convert it to SD first as well, correct? Or could I just export the sequence to my camera? "
-You will have to create an SD version for that.
"From here you can:
-Export another ProRes (through Compressor) from that timeline- now you have a clean SD movie of your HD original. Keep it archived.
What is the purpose of this step... is this what creates the SD movie? I thought that was done when the ProRes movie was imported back into the 3:2 sequence? "
- You are correct, by dropping your HD movie into an SD timelines automatically scales the footage creating an SD version. however I export a clean SD version as ProRes incase I need to do this again. I now have a HD and SD version.
Hope that helps.

  • CS6 has been converted from the upgrade I bought to a trial version.  What the heck is going on.

    I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for my IMac.  I downloaded CS6 and out in my serial number and it worked fine for a number of weeks.  Suddenly when I went to use it it said it was a trial version.  I had to register it to use my CS6   I registered it and it worked,  but only as a Trial Version of CS6 Extended. I do not want CS6 Extended.  I deleted the trial version of CS6 Extended from my hard drive and once again downloaded my upgrade of CS6 and put in my serial number and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Today, once again, it tells me it is a trial version and will not load unless I register the trial version. What the heck is going on? This is crazy.  I simply want to use CS6, for which I paid. Help!

    What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.
    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • My service is converting from SendNow Plus to Adobe Send; what is th maximum file size?

    My service is being converted from Adobe SendNow Plus to Adobe Send.  There is very little detail on differences that I can expect between the two services.
    What is the maximum file size  that I can send?  Is there a maximum?
    Do I have a storage limit?  It was 2GB with SendNow.
    The files in SendNow have a time limit, but I cannot find anywhere this is defined in Send.
    Lastly, my subscription rate is higher than the rates quoted on the Adobe website, but I cannot find a way to correct this or make a change.

    Hi Raghuveer,
    Thanks for quick reply.  Sorry, I prefer not to share my designs so I cannot send you my sample of Ai file or screenshots.  I hope you understand. 
    Anyway, I have about 50 to 60 elements used 3D effects and 60 elements used brushes.   And about 20 some elements I defined as pattern swatches (about half of them used gradient). Also, added drop shadow, zigzag effect and accent edges on 5 elements.   And 3 layers filled with patterns (my artboard size is 1220 px W x 1500 px H).  I have my layers/artboard/ color & pattern swatches/ appearance panels opened up when working in Ai.
    I hope this gives you some idea how much I am doing and what I am doing with my Ai file.   And hope that you can advise if there should be problem if doing a lot in one file?  I just cannot stop designing sometimes.
    Added this- I have 18 artboards and 22 layers in my Ai file.  Photoshop doesn't have this problem  when working with a lot of layers, only Illustrator does.
    Thank you very much!!

  • I recently converted to PSE13 from 11 and noticed what appear to be duplicate files.

    I recently converted to PSE13 from 11 and noticed what appear to be duplicate files named: BreezeData, CAXMPFiles, Style, syncdb, and WaldoData.  Can these be deleted?  Do they belong to the previous version 11?  If they do, then I may not want to delete them if I ever have to run PSE11 again.

    What you are seeing are default subfolders within your catalog folders. Don't mess with the contents of the catalog folders, they don't contain any of your picture files, only the databases and their associated assets. You'll find such subfolders in any of your catalog folders whatever their version (11 or 13). They are not duplicates.
    You should keep the PSE11 catalogs if you want to use them with PSE11 (you can keep both versions on your computer). Of course, you can delete the catalogs you no longer want to use. Simply use the catalog manager (menu File/catalogs...) and use the delete button; the catalog to delete should not be the active catalog, select another one first. Deleting catalogs this way will delete the subfolders you are seeing, like BreezeData etc.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.
    Take Ownership of a File or Folder
    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

    I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file.  Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings.  One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
    This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6.  But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
    Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

    ssprengel wrote:
    What do you mean by “custom camera settings”?  Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset?  Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
    Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
    I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
    My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter.  I then open the folder in Bridge.  At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon.  When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults.  When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
    This behavior is new.  DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
    In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings.  That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
    I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences.  It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.
