Easy setup FCE 4 and mpeg stream clip

Hi, i need an help for import my videocamera video. I use samsung MHX H200SP/EDC and i obtain a MP4 PAL 1280x720 50fps clip. I try to use MPEG streamclip to convert in something not to be rendered fo FCE the i import it into FCE.
Could someone tell me which set up use in MPEG streamclip and in esasy setup for FCE?
I would like to obtain max quality (doesn't matter space on HD)
I tried in this way
MPEG streamclip conversion:
Apple Intermediate Codec
100% quality
1280x720 (16:9, no scaling, HDTV 720p? which one?)
shoud i choose "interlaced scaling"?
other way?
in easy set up for FCE i tried:
Apple Intermediate Codec
AVCHD Apple Itermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
rate 25 fps
is it right? which one should i use?
best regards everybody
Filippo

The MHX H200SP/EDC saves video as MP4/H.264 files and it appears you used 1280x720p as your setting in the camera.
In that case, in MPEG Streamclip, convert the clips to:
QuickTime
Apple Intermediate Codec
1280x720 (HDTV 720p)
UNcheck the option called "Interlaced scaling" (because you have progressive video)
In FCE, select the HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25 Easy Setup. Then create a new Sequence. Then import your converted clip(s).

WIDESCREEN VIDEO SQUASHES WHEN I USE MPEG STREAM CLIP

Most of my video's are wide screen, when i convert them for ipod in mpeg stream clip the video squashes to fit in screen, how do i get round this, i know the iPod is'nt wide screen, but i'd rather have black bars than squashed video, i don't want to use Quicktime Pro because it's too slow, any ideas much appreciated!
- Mike
Apologies for post title left caps on

I'm not sure what program your using but I just set a wide screen resolution when I convert. 320x180, 368x208, 480x270 for example. On the other hand if the movie has the bars in the stream itself then you'll have to crop the movie to get it back to a true widescreen format. You'll know when you play the ripped file if it's true widescreen or not.

MPEG Stream Clip Export Settings

Happy New Year!
I've been working on a WWII documentary.
You guys turned me onto a really nifty piece of software which I use occasionally; MPEG Stream Clip
It's great - just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.
I assumed it was best to export as a Quick Time File rather than a DV. Why? Because it seems the DV export puts compression on the clip. In 'Options' I also choose Apple DVCPRO-NTSC
Take a look;

*just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.*
If you're working in a DV NTSC timeline then you are doing it right. the Streamclip option for dv creates a dv stream which is not the same thing as a DV NTSC Quicktime Movie.

Mpeg stream clip and 2 audio tracks

is anyone us ing MPEG STREAMCLIP? I WANT TO EXTRACT 2 AUDIO TRACKS FROM A DVD, there's any possobility to do it?

Have you tried to use Streamclip. It's a free download. See if it works.
I don't know what "i have seen avi or dvx files with two audio tracks" means. The DVD should be in MPEG-2.

I followed all of the steps to iCloud setup on PC and Photo Stream does not work

I have a Windows 7 PC, and an iphone 4. I upgraded to IOS 5 and did the iCloud setup with the download Control Panel app and set it up. However, when i take a photo with my iphone, the photo goes to my camera roll and does not go to my photo stream and there fore not to my PC photo stream folder on my PC.
So far Photo Stream does nothing. Also, Are we supposed to be able to see our photo stream if we login to iCloud? When logged in to iCloud, I see my contacts and mail and other stuff bu no Photo Stream.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jay Abbott

I figured out the answer to my question. Photo Stream will not sync unless your iphone is connected via Wi-Fi. Now I have to go find a Wi-Fi network to see if I am correct. I read the maunal, wow, what a concept.
I hope this helps others who don't read the manual but complain on the forums!

Error dowloading URL to Mpeg Stream Clip

I use MPEG Streamclip to convert files for putting into my Imovies. I tried the File "open URL" and input the url from a youtube and a google video site. Neither one would load and I got a message "error in loading". This is supposed to work fairly easily. Any help or suggestions?
Thanks so much,
skip

Am I missing something non this?
Yes. As QTKirk already stated, you need the URL for the file itself -- not the path to the web site page on which it displays the file. If what you are trying to do is view, download, and convert YouTube content for your computer, iPod, or other device, then buy TubSock (or a similar application) instead of QT Pro which also won't help you. These mini applications will extract the directory and file ID information, download the data, convert it, and store it for you with the mere pressing of a button in the Safari Bookmarks bar.

Mpeg stream clip

is making my files too large. a 1 gig .mpg file is converted to aic (.mov) and ends up being 12 gigs!
What am I doing wrong?

In order to suggest what you are doing wrong, we really need to know what you are doing. It may be that you are simply setting too high a datarate, but tell us what settings you are using to begin with. AIC files are considerably larger than MPEG files, you may not actually be doing an awful lot wrong.

MPEG Stream Clip questions

How do you use this converter.......I dropped a mpeg in there but don't see how to convert it. It looks like it basically acts as a player......where are the options to convert and not just play, fast forward and rewind? PC person converting over to the mac world, sorry for the stupid question...
Jay

Hi -
As you found out, just drag the file in, then go the File menu and choose the format you want to export (convert) the file to -

Easy Setup - Format used for importing MPEG-4 clip

I am trying to import a movie to FCE and wonder which format should be set in the Easy Setup. Thx
Used MPEG Streamclip to check the info:
Video Tracks:
Generic MPEG-4, 640 × 480, 29.97 fps, 997 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG Layer-3 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 64 kbps
Used QuickTime Player Inspecter to check the info:
DivX 6.0, 640x480, Unknown
MPEG Layer3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz

You'd better first convert the movie (using MPEG Streamclip you already have) to the standard NTSC format: open your file in MPEG Streamclip, then Export to QuickTime (cmd-E - NOT Export to DV!) with Compression: Apple DV-DVCPRO/NTSC, Quality: 100%, fps: 29,97, Audio: uncompressed, Stereo, 48 KHz.
Then in FCE select the DV-NTSC Easy Setup before creating the sequence you'll use for editing.
Finally import the converted .mov file into FCE and drag it into the new sequence in the timeline.
That should do it, and the resulting .mov will not require video nor audio rendering.

Some easy setup are missing from FCE.

Hi, Im teaching FCE, on some computers I have all the easy setup I need, and on some computers I dont (for example, I miss the Apple intermediate codec 720p 25)... is there a way to install addition easy setup?

I have converted m2ts files to .mov to edit in FCE (4.0.1) When I drag the clips into the timeline they need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 sec. clip. Is this normal? I am using OS 10 . My easy setup is apple intermediate codec, 720p30. Any help

I have converted m2ts files to .mov in streamclip, for editing in fce 4.0.1. When I drag them into the fce timeline the clips need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 second clip. Is this normal? My OS is 10.6.8. My easy setup in fce is apple intermediate codec 720p30. Any advice to avoid the rendereng would be helpful. Ann

To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

Unrendered and Easy Setup

I have a new Sony SR11 and I'm experimenting with a FCE workflow. I've recorded a few minutes of video at the camcorder's highest setting, but am having problems getting it to play in the viewer in FCE - the audio plays, but the video shows "unrendered". I've read through the forums but haven't found an answer that helps me yet.
Source video:
Recorded at 16 Mb/s with a frame size of 1920x1080.
Easy Setup:
HDV AIC 1080i/60
When I create a sequence even after setting the above Easy Setup value, the sequence has a frame size of 1400x1080. If I read other posts correctly, the reason that FCE needs to render my clips before playing them in the viewer is that the frame sizes don't match. 1400x1080 != 1920x1080.
Assuming that's really the problem, how do I change the sequence frame size to 1920x1080? Or does FCE/AIC not support 1920x1080?

Found answers to my own questions. Posting here for others in case they have the same issues:
Alright...here's the fix. It's a PITA but it works:
You need to download this free converter: MPEG Streamclip
File -> Export to QuickTime
Compression: Apple Intermediate Codec
Quality: 100%
Sound: Stereo/48 kHz
Import the converted file into FCE and everything will work smoothly. Here's the rub:
1. Extra step
2. Extra, larger files. A h.264 original out of the camera that was 69mb turned into a 216mb file after conversion.
Kinda defeats one of my primary purposes for moving to FCE instead of iMovie (save disk space by using referenced files instead of imported ones)
