Easy set up for MPEG-4?

Can anyone advise me what easy setup specs to use for MPEG-4, 640 x 480 at 30 fps? I can get the video to work, but not the audio.
Thanks.

Hence the problem with mpeg4; the audio format doesn't play out in FCP.
Why not convert the footage into a format that matches an easy set up on FCP complete with aiff audio?

Easy Set-Up for Canon 5D Mark II Media

I was in the forum about a month ago, and thanks to you all I learned what I needed to know to transcode my Canon 5D Mark II media to FCE. But, now I am shooting with Canon's new firmware that allows to capture media at 24 fps. Now, I know that FCE is not optimum for this media, but because I don't use pirated software and I am low on cash what is the best Easy Set-Up for FCE. Now, I have it set at Format: HD ; Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ; Rate: 29.97.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Michael,
To answer you first question, I have FCE v 4.01.
I found the following video on u-tube very helpful,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRpUs_My-Oo, however make sure you follow the instructions given in the forum as to what values to place in MPEG Streamline. If you combine the two you should be OK. I am not sure I understand your second question, but I have not had to make a render step in placing clips in FCE timeline. But, I am not that knowledgable about FCE. I am still very low on the learning curve.... yet, I hope this is somewhat helpful...Good Luck

What is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

what is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

There isn't one. You have to convert the media to one of the ProRes codecs, probably ProRes LT would work best. You need to do this in Compressor.
Easy setup isn't relevant as it's options are for tape based media, which this isn't.

Easy set Up for Cannon HV30 & Final Cut Pro

What is the proper set up, for the Cannon HV30 and final Cut Pro 7. I typically shoot at 30P,
since this is a Cannon Product I set the rate at 29.97, and firewire basic. Here is my confusion, do I select the 1080i60 setting or use 1080p30 setting since I set my camcorder to Progressive. I have seen the comment that the camcorder shoots the video in a 60i (interlaced wrapper) does this mean that I first set up my sequence as 1080i60, then send my footage to compressor to change it to progressive?

There's Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Easy Set Up for iPhone movies

Hi kids. How should I set the EASY SETUP for movies I take with my iPhone? The quality is poor, and I wanna get it set right.
Thanks (in advance) for your help.

You can't really edit that material in FCE. You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV, but the quality will not be great.

Easy Set Up settings- ? any difference in result between the D-NTSC & AVCHD

I have just spent a few days starting to understand and work with FCE. My first project was to get my AVCHD materials sitting on Sony Memory sticks into my computer for later use. I finished, but realized I may have done something essentially wrong.
My objective is to get the maximum data quality into my HDD and subsequent projects. My shoot source material is AVCHD at max HD at full HD resolution 1920 x 1080.
When moving on to MY next project which was to start capturing Analog video, I was studying and I read about Easy Set Up. This 'window' never came up when I installed FEC. Now, I see that the Easy SetUp that was in play for all of my ingesting of my AVCHD material was as follows: Format - all formats, Rate - All Rates and Use -DV-NTSC
I see now there are other set ups and now need to understand...
1) Should I have used a different Easy Set up for the AVCHD capture e.g. - Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
2) Is there any difference to the Capture Scratch files I created having used the wrong (?) Easy Set Up ... = Format = all formats, Rate = All Rates and Use = DV-NTSC ....VERSUS .... the Easy Set Up I noticed later which is ... Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
In short, have I messed up and created .MOV files that will not be at the best possible quality and use for editing later?
I am more than happy to redo all my capturing to get the best results.
THANKS

Thanks Tom...
To clarify please... confirm or correct (I am accomplishing some learning here )
If I hear you right ... because I ingested the material through the Log and Transfer function (for my AVCHD footage), the settings found in the Easy SetUp don't apply. It would appear that for that Log and Transfer function all ingested AVCHD is done with a default setting at all times. In Log and Transfer I found settings in preferences to import, putting the video at AIC and there is no alternate (other than for sound)Also the settings .
I opened QT M.Inspector and saw the following: Format = Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions,16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz & Current Size = 1888 x 1062 pixels (Actual)
I think that this means that even thigh the pre-set is at 1440 x 1080 , that I actually achieve closer to the 1920 x 1080 result ... because of the size of the actual file itself?
So .. to summarize my inquiry ... from what I am leaning... As long as I ingest AVCHD in the Log and Transfer function I will always get the maximum result in resolution and file size. And that the settings I found in ESU are for tape capture only.
Thanks Tom ... I see you are busy on another forum as well. I appreciate all you are doing. If you see me again please understand that I do appreciate the help. I learn in a very different way than normal. After surviving a plane crash doing volunteer help work, and dealing with resulting head injuries the process and flow for me is different and a challenge. I started by learning to read again

Over riding "inbuilt audio" for the audio out put in the easy set up?

Hi all. I just got hold of Final Cut express and I can not get audio to come out of my external audio interface( MOTU 2408 III).
I have noticed that the default setting in the easy set up is for inbuilt audio.
How do I over ride this?
Thanks,
Spigg
PS Audio system setting is set for the MOTU... infact warning beeps are going through external... just not movie audio

What "easy set up" use to use

I have a Sony HXR-MC50U camera. What setting should I choose in FCE "easy set up"?
Signal system is:
NTSC
AVCHD: 1080 - 59.94i/60i
MPEG-2: 480 - 59.94i/60i
Thanks!

Thanks for the speedy response. I don't have that option in my drop down box - would it be
HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ?

Setting timeout for all the web test scripts in the solution

Hello,
I have around 16 web test scripts (using VSTS 2010 ultimate version) in my project (in a solution). By default the timeout set for each request is 60 sec. I need to increase the timeout to 180 sec. Currently, I am clicking on each request and modifying
the timeout parameter from the Properties window.
Is there any common setting for timeout available which would be acting across all the scripts?
Thanks.

Hello,
We only can set Timeouts for a separate request in Visual Studio Web Test. There is no way to set Timeout for all requests in VS IDE. But you can write you own logic code using
Timeout Property in a web test plugin to set Timeout for all requests in a web test.
About how to write a web test plugin, please see:
How to: Create a Web Performance Test Plug-In

How do I set up for extending my non-apple wi-fi network with Airport Express?

I have Trendnet router that I use for providing wi-fi capabilities in my home. The problem is that it is set up in my basement and it doesn't extend to the back of the house. I'm also having problems setting up my wireless printer with this setup. I thought that by getting a AE, I could take care of these two things. I could set up the AE upstairs to repeat the wireless signal and at the same time have an easier set up (as in an apple). But, I'm not sure how to set it up. Can someone help?

Do you have a separate modem and Trendnet router now, or is the Trendnet a gateway....combination modem/router in one box? If you add another AirPort at this location, it will need to connect to a modem, or it could connect to your Trendnet router and you could turn off the wireless on the Trendnet
If you go wireless all the way, what is the approximate distance between the "main" router and the "remote" AirPort? How many walls will be in the signal path? How are these walls constructed?
In general....I have found that power line works better than wireless....unless you have a very good wireless connection. If you take your computer to the remote area where the extender will be located, and you can get a good, solid wireless signal, you are probably OK. The Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
But will the wireless setup for video streaming (which is my main goal) be reliable?
Questions like this cannot be answered because it is just not possible to predict wireless performance and results in advance of any installation. The products might be great....but other wireless networks around you or cordless phones cause interference problems.
In this regard, If I only had one chance at a network, I would go with wired connections over wireless.
If you go with the 2 AirPort Express plan, I would suggest that you still have a "Plan B" if wireless does not deliver the performance you want. Personally, I would never try to stream video, especially high definition, over wireless here at the house, but it can work if everthing else falls into place....and the planets are in the right alignment.

Custom size for MPEG-1 files?

Hey everyone, I'm aware that compressor does not allow you to change the output size of a mpeg-1 file (it's locked at 320x240). However, does anyone know if there are plug-ins available that will allow you to do so? If not, can anyone recommend a good software package that will allow me to change the output size of an mpeg-1 file? Thanks!

I have used Compressor to make an mpeg-1 video that is 640 x 480 and looks great (for mpeg-1). I use this for clients that use trial presentation software to show video depositions. Just go into you 'Library' folder in your home folder and open the Compressor folder in 'Application Support'. Look for the DVD/MPEG-1 folder and open it up. Inside there is a Compressor preset document 'MPEG-1 DVD'. Duplicate this document and give it a unique name like 'MPEG-1 640X480' and then proceed to open this doc with TextEdit. About halfway down, look for the video settings 320 x 240 and change them to read 640 x 480 and save and quit. Launch Compressor from FCP. Once you've imported or selected your project that you will be using with Compressor, you can click on the setting button that reveals the pop-up settings and the preset that you created should be listed at the bottom of the preset list. Select this preset and away you go. Good luck.

Where is the printer control panel so i can set up for mobile printing

I am trying to set up for mobile printing and have come to the instruction point where they say to push a certain icon on the printer control panel on my 1102w printer and I have no idea whether this is something on my actual printer or on my computer?

Hi,
The printer control panel is on the printer, it can be LCD screen or just buttons.

Non-Standard bitrate for Mpeg 2

Hello,
There's a video distribution place in town that will accept Mpeg 2 files sent over an FTP for delivery format. This is an attractive idea as it would save tape stock and messenger fees
Problem is, they require the bit rate to be between 10 and 25 Mbps
Anyone have any experience making this happen? And, with what software?
Thanks,
Mark

I produced a commercial and the one broadcaster requested a MPEG-2 for master. They wanted a multiplexed MPEG 2 Stream.
I used Compressor>created a custom MPEG-2 setting>selected Multiplexed MPEG...I renamed the file name extension from a .mts to .mpg sent it over and everyone seemed pleased.

Ask them what MPEG 2 type. Can they send you a sample to review?

BDC Program to Set Reason for Rejection in VA02 in Sales Order Change

Hi i have a requirement i have to set "reason for rejection" in random line items of Change mode of sales order VA02.
I have to develope BDC for this task and i have the list of all open line items which displays in VA05, can any of them can guide me how to develop BDC which will randomly select line items and set reason for rejection in VA02 Sales Order Change transaction.
With Regards,
S.Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
As mentioned in the previous reply, you can use the FM:SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE and set the reason code for the line item like for eg: move '03' to IT_INPUT-REASON_REJ. and also set 'U' for update flag in the header structure,
move 'U' to HEAD_INPUT_INX-UPDATEFLAG
this will be best and easy method.
for this, FM,you need to pass the below parameters:
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE'
EXPORTING
   salesdocument                   = old_order
       order_header_in             = head_input
        order_header_inx           = head_input_inx
      TABLES
        return                      = return
       item_in                     = it_input
       item_inx                    = ii_input_inx
       schedule_in                 = schedule_input
       schedule_inx                = schedule_inputx
declare all these structure and internal tables as per documentation of the FM.
hope this helps.let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Srini.

Where is Easy Set-up Location?

Experimented with a project using a Sony VX2000 which is DV where audio was set at 32 kHz. Having trouble with audio drift capturing that DV from my DHR-1000 Deck. Made an Easy Set-up with 32kHz audio instead of standard 48kHz. Didn't help.
Now I want to delete that Easy Set-up. Can't find it. It is NOT under either:
HD-->Library-->Application Support-->FCP System Support-->Custom Settings
nor is it under
User-->Library-->Application Support-->Final Cut Studio
I quit FCP and restarted, thinking that was what was needed. Didn't help.
Thanks for any help.

David,
Thanks for responding. Couldn't find it. Did a search for that folder also. No luck.
Guess not the end of the world, will just make me slower in trying different setups that I know I can't delete if don't work.
Oh, well.
Thanks for trying.
