Correct settings for editing videos in web format and Mov Export

Under Premiere CS3 it was possible to create a project based upon web resolutions i.e 1024x768 and after editing export it as a simple .mov file. Under CS4 this seems to have been totally removed and only video dimensions appertaining to the TV or Film are available with no reference to web resolutions at all.
I tried to open up a project file that I saved in Premiere CS3 in CS4 but this just results in the preview being blurred. If anyone has information on how to import a movie at 1024x768 into Premiere and edit it and then just export as a basic .mov file at the same size (1024x768) I would be very grateful, I have spent hours trying to work this out.

Dave,
What are the specs of your source footage? The more detail, the better.
That is what you will set your Project/Sequence to. For odd Frame Size and other irregularities, you will need to be in Desktop Mode and set everything according to your source footage. That's why I asked for details on what you are Importing. The format/CODEC will be important. If you do not know, then G-Spot will be your friend and tell you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Correct settings for flv video

I have a bunch of videos, which I exported from Premiere pro CS5.5 to mp4 files. After this I used the Media Encoder to encode those videos to flv-files. The I opened Flash pro CS5.5 > import video > publish as swf and html. Same settings in the Encoder and Flash but still only half of them work. Those sites / videos that don't work just load and load, but nothing happens. Only option I have so is to encode them again from mp4 to flv using different settings to find ones that work. Sometimes bitrate encoding should be CBR, but sometimes it's VBR. For some videos I should encode alpha channel and for others there is no need. This is so frustrating. I'm using a whole day with this trial & error thing. It's hard for me to believe, that encoding settings should have such effect on the outcome. Could someone please help me with this one?

If you have 1920 x 1080 60i that 60i is not 60 frames per second but rather 60 fields per second. Consider that the same as 29.97/30 interlaced frames per second.
So, you want the Premiere Elements 11 project preset to be
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD HD 1080i30
but if you have 5.1 channel audio with your video instead of stereo, then you want to use the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD HD 1080i30 5.1 channel
When you drag your video for the first time to the Expert view Timeline, the project should set this project preset for you based on those video properties. You can check what it has set by looking at Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the reading for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size. If it does not set the correct project preset, you can do that manually with File Menu/New/Project before you import you video into the project.
Please review the above. If you have any questions or need clarification on anything that I have written please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Final cut won't export the correct settings for MXF videos

I have final cut 10.2 and compressor 4.2. My video footage is DSLR media shot at 1920x1080 at 29.97 in Mpeg format. I create an NTSC timeline that is 29.97 and 1080P and I can import and edit with this no problem. My issue is i want to export as 1080i29.97 XDCAM HD 422 50 Mbps in MXF format.(their is a preset for this in compressor) What i get is an mxf file that is 720x576 at 25 FPS and the picture is squished. I added the destination through Final cut to compressor and selected the preset i want. I also checked the preset and the settings are correct. You can see from the picture below.
However when i select this destination from Finalcut 10 it shows in the settings that it is 1080i and also 720x576 on the same page! You can see from the image below that the title of the destination is "1080i29.97 XDCAM HD 422 50 Mbps" and below that it says 1080i, 8ch 24bit mono tracks. But at the bottom of this menu it says 720 x 576 | 25 fps!
if i export as a master file this does not happen, even if i choose XD CamEX 50Mbps. Any help is appreciated. Not sure what is going on. Thanks

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

What is the best format & settings to edit video in FCP?

My organization uses a HD Panasonic Camera to record video, which is recorded in .MTS. Our editing software (FCP 7) is installed on a Mac and I am unable to view or edit the original video until I convert it into a different format using iSkysoft iMedia Converter. Recently I have been converting it into what I think is similar settings to the original file (.MOV, Xvid, 1280x720, 30 fps, 1200 kbps). Are these settings appropriate for editing video? If not, could you please offer advice as to what settings I should convert the video into.
Thank you for your help.
(This post is relative to a similar question I asked earlier today, but this post is for future reference so I start projects on the right foot).

WHich Panasonic HD camera. MTS means that it is an AVCHD camera. And no, you can't edit those directly, but FCP has an import tool for tapeless media called LOG AND TRANSFER (in the FILE menu). You use that to import the footage from that camera. It will convert the footage to ProRes or Apple INtermediate codec. THOSE are the formats you need to convert to. What is found in the EASY SETUP list. Not just any QT will work...not every QT format is editable.
What you need to do is backup the entire SD card to a drive, or import from the SD card. But the full card structure needs to be present in order for FCP to do this.
If Log and Transfer doesn't work, then you use CLIPWRAP to convert to ProRes.

Best export settings for SVHS video from Premiere Elements 12

Hi
when I view my SVHS video on screen via premiere elements 12 the quality looks very good. However, when I edit the video and save, the quality is quite poor.
I need to know what is the best settings to save my video. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you Tom

TD
I have some questions to ask and some suggestions to make for your consideration after you have concluded your discussions with SG.
1. Am I assuming correctly that you used a firewire connection for your ADVC-55 capture? And, if so, what did you capture into - Premiere Elements 12 Capture Windows to give you DV AVI Type 2? In the gspot readout (to the left of the dialog), what does it say about the Container.
2. Assuming that you have DV AVI Type 2 (4:3) files saved to your computer hard drive, have you tried
For DVD-VIDEO PAL Standard Format on DVD disc
a. Open Premiere Elements 12 new project to Expert workspace, File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings....Change project preset to PAL DV Standard....before leaving that area, making sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
b. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag you DV AVI to the Timeline.
c. After edits and maybe menu application,
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD burn to disc
check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
Preset = PAL Dolby DVD
Before hitting Burn in the burn dialog, note what the readings are in the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is 8.00 Mbps at that point, that is good. More on that later.
For Export To File (AVCHD.mp4)
If you want to export, your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, please consider
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
MP4 - PAL DV Standard
If your details are other than that which I assumed, please let us know.
We will be watching for further discussions and results.
Thank you.

Correct settings for HDV capture

Hi. I'm using Premiere CS5.5. I went on a few forums to get the correct settings for HDV capture.
I can record the footage fine. However I saw a few things which didn't seem right.
After capturing the HDV footage, the file was a .mpeg file. Secondly, the clip was 1 hour and 10 minutes and
it was only 11.3 GB. Does this sound right? A 55 minute .avi file is 11.6GB. I thought a HDV clip would be quite a large size file.
If this dosen't sound right, is there somewhere I could go to, to check that my settings are correct? By the way I'm filming and capturing with a Canon XHA1.
The footage is 1080i. HDV. I've exported it and it looks fine. Just want to make sure I've captured it correctly and to the best quality.
Thanks for your help.

The HDV format was advanced by Sony and others to use the same miniDV tapes used for SD. In fact, your Canon XHAI can record and play either without changing the tape transport speed.
Your observation in relative file sizes is due to the fact that HDV is highly compressed (MPEG), whereas, SD (AVI) is not as highly compressed. This is one of the reasons folks (such as Harm) don't consider HDV to be an edit format, but just a delivery format.
Note that what Harm was saying is symantics--you capture an analog source through a capture card that digitizes it. When you transfer a image file from HDV or SD, it is already digitized, so a bit-to-bit transfer occurs.

Correct settings for DVD

Hi
I wish to know which are the correct settings for making a new project in imovie and then what to do for getting the best quality on DVD. (I use still pictures and video clips with music, transitions and effects)
Thank you so much.

ola
the correct format depends on the format your camera (PAL or NTSC - 4:3 or 16:9) meaning the project format should meet the camera format. pleas note that that format changes in iMovie/iDVD are effective only for new projects and cannot change existing ones. the dvd quality settings depend on the length of your movie and can be set in iDVD under preferences.
my movies are never longer than 30 min. so i set it to faster encoding and check background encoding ... i also tried with best quality once but frankly i can't see the difference
buona suerte & viva la mela

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.)

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

Emac for editing video

Hi I have a 800 MHz PowerPC G4 emac computer 1G MEMORY.
I would like to know if this is good for editing video using final cut pro, and if I will don't ha problems like render or other?

Hi planet 4166,
I have an eMac 1.25 Ghz with 1.5 Gb of ram.
And I use it for editing using Final Cut Express 2.0.x and upgraded recently to 3.5.x before I stop using it because I use my macbook for my main mac.
For your eMac, I think the processor speed is not fast enough to run newer Final Cut Pro and also the ATI or nVidia chipset might not supported, also it need 10.4.4 OS X version to run.
You can find the FCP 4.x (I still have my FCP 3.x in my eMac) or FCE 2.x for your eMac.
Good Luck.

For editing video which MacBook do you recommend me?

Hello. For editing video which MacBook do you recommend me? Thanks.

Unless you're too delicate and can't handle the weight, a regular MacBookPro with the Widescreen/Anti-glare and 2.6GHz processor options (gets you 1GB VRAM as well):
Then upgrade by yourself to 16GB RAM and either a 7200RPM HDD or an SSD for substantially less than what Apple charges and you will have a screamer.

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

Emac computer for editing video

Hi I have a 800 MHz PowerPC G4 emac computer 1G MEMORY.
I would like to know if this is good for editing video using final cut pro, and if I will don't ha problems like render or other?

Well, the minimum requirement for FCP5 is an 867MHz G4. So I think Jerry's right. FCP5 probably wouldn't install.
Now, had you had that processor that's one notch higher, I would have said it would be just fine. Pretty similar to my laptop specs, which runs FCP just fine for simple edits. I've even cut 4 camera multicam edits on the powerbook with a FW drive.
I'm not recommending the eMac, but, a G4 is a G4, whether it's in a PowerMac, PowerBook, iMac, iBook, or eMac. There's no expandability on an eMac, but it's a G4.
I would imagine FCP 4.5 would install, but you may need to revert your OS & QT versions.
