Edit encoding settings for menus with animated background?

Hi there,
I just spoke with german support and they mentioned, that there is no way I can edit the encoding settings of encore how to generate the needed parts for an animated menu.
In this case I have a PAL M2V progressive scan used as BG and after menu rendering encore has created a M2V for the menu with strange interlacing problems ...
There seem to be options in the "project settings" > "default transcode settings" dialog (translated form german), but they are grayed out. There seems to be one setting "lower field" and I can not change to "progressive" ...
Its hard for me to believe that there are really no ways of altering the encode settings for menus. Has someone an idea?

Because DVD is Interlaced and not Progressive, I would do the Export of that Motion Asset to Interlaced with matching Field Order. There is nothing to be gained by trying to force En to do things that are not allowed by the DVD-specs. It is an authoring app. and not an NLE, so it needs the best possible, DVD-spec. material to work with.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

How do I determine correct media encoder settings for Blu-Ray

I am successfully producing Hi Def Blu-Ray disks by using one of the presets available in Premiere media encoder. Actually using the HDTV 1080i 25 High Quality setting. They playback in beautiful high definition but I think I was just lucky. I would really like to know what determines the setting I should use.
1. I live in Australia so I assume PAL.
2. My camera is a Sony HDV. HCR HC9 1440 x 1080i. I assume this is irrelevant to export encoding settings for Blu-Ray.
3. The export encoder preset has field order set to Upper. I would have thought I should either match the project settings which is interlaced to match my camera and project. OR more likely I should match the audience TV which would be a widesceen plama or LCD TV. I dont know if these TVs are interlaced or progressive. OR is it more a question of what field order the Blu-Ray player expects me to send on the disk?
4. I will play on a TV 1920 x 1080 pixel capable and on slightly lower resoultion widescreens. The encoder preset is for 1920 x 1080 so I assume that's ok for all widescreen TVs even lower definition ones.
As you can tell I am a learner. Any suggested links to basic reading on the subject would help me.

PS Put this item in wrong forum previously.

Since no response I've been searching and found the following.
When encoding to make a Blu-Ray disk from my HDV 1080i footage:
1. Tell encoder the source is 1080i That is interlaced and it's TOP field first for HDV footage.
2. Tell it to encode to 1440 x 1080 resolution. You could tell it 1920 x 1080 but it will take much longer to encode. Will be good but why bother. All BD players will automatically up the 1440 to 1902 full screen.
3. Beware, not all players support BD-R and BD-RE recordable disks.
Seems Panasonic is good. Samsung probably good. Sony and Sharp probably not able to read (yet).
4. All players read MPEG-2 compression and H264 compression. Use a bit rate of 25 Mbps for MPEG-2 encode or 18 Mbps for equivalent result in H264 encode. Can use higher rates. These are minimums for a very good result
5. One pass encode is pretty damn good but use two pass if you have the time to wait for the encode.

Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

Dear All,
Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
All the best, Sean

Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...
Open compressor and in the Help menu, Select the user manual. Navigate to page 315.

Hello Jemmi,
a lot of questions
Here some answers:
1. You do not have to install the add-on to CRM. It is a add-on to outlook. Just start the setup.exe you downloaded from the marketplace and select MS-Outlook and your language.
2. In CRM70 customizing search for "client profile" - here you will be able to customize for different businessroles different GWI settings. The settings will be synchronised to the client. You will not need to do settings on the client.
3. Biderectional is theoretically possible. We only use CRM to Outlook. If you do it the other way round you have to think about obligatory fields in CRM and where do you get the account ID from and and and. CRM to Outlook is simple.
4. Accounts and Products i guess no in standard. But contact persons is possible, appointsments and tasks are also possible.
5. No answer, we do not use this.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.
Kind regards

Export for DVD with Animation codec without alphas channels not working?

I'm using FCP 5 with DVDSP. My FCP projects consist of quicktime movies that are using the Animation compressor (for lossless quality), and the movies contain alpha channels (thus they were rendered at Millions + colors to preserve the alphas).
This is my problem. I want to now export a quicktime movie to use in DVDSP with animation compression, so it is again lossless quality (obviously to presever the quality through these steps). But I do NOT want to preserve the alpha channels, because what I've learned is that when made into a DVD, the alphas are not preserved and the image looks wrong (as if without the alphas).
So I basically want to "flatten" the video, if there was some way.
I would assume the solution would be to, in FCP, export a quicktime at animation compression, but set to Millions for colors, and not Millions + (I was taught that the Millions + will preserve the alpha info).
Well, what's happening is when I set it to that, it renders, but then I get info on the movie in Quicktime and it says it has Millions + still. And thus, it looks wrong in DVDSP.
What is going on? Is this a bug in FCP?
Does anyone have an idea as to how to get around this. The only thing that has worked for me is to export the Quicktime movie with "none" for compression, but that's making the movie SO large that I can't work with it and it doesn't play right when I make the DVD.
I really appreciate anyones help on the matter. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I have not yet tried laying a solid black video track underneath to see what it does, but it seems like a good idea and I'll try it out to see what happens when I get back home.
I'll try to explain what I mean by the image looking wrong.
I'm picking up where another left off, so I'm not sure of how he cut the quicktime movie together; all I know is that they used alpha channels in Photoshop and After Effects to make the image looks the way they want it. This is a drawn character laid on a white background with a black frame around the entire image. It looks the way he wants it to in the quicktime movie, and this quicktime movie is 720x480, animation millions colors +, 24fps.
This movie, along with others of the like, need to be cut together in FCP and then put on a DVD with DVDSP. When I export it and it looks "wrong", what's happening is there is a black block behind the drawn character. The guy that made the movies in AE says that, that is what it looks like when the alpha channel is not working correctly.
To test things, I've changed the quicktime compression settings in the sequence settings. If I set it to anything that is not animation, I get that black block in the viewer. (Note though, that if I set it to animation, millions + or not +, it shows the alpha correctly both ways).
In FCP's user manual it says that if you're passing your movie on to a DVD, to use a high or lossless compression to keep the quality up, like animation or PhotoJPEG. For this reason, I haven't wanted to go to DV - especially with this type of image (graphic drawn shapes), it's easy to see a quality difference.
It really seems like there is a lot of voodoo involved with compression settings. As for now the best "fool-proof" solution I've found is to re-render the movie in After Effects at millions (not+) so that it won't contain the alpha channel info, and FCP seems to like that a lot more.
I just wish I could get FCP to work with the movies as they were because I'm having to re-edit everything to work with these new movies now.
Thanks again for the tips and insight.

Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings. I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD. This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV. I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size). Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720. I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
Here are the export settings:
Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player. As you'll see everything looks very clean:
I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD. I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room. Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer. These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
Are my WMV settings correct? Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)? I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A DVD is 720x480 so anything larger must be scaled down to be legal according to the DVD specification

Lazy Nezumi - settings for use with CC

I am finding it hard to find my way round way this software - the incomprehensible (to me) manual doesn't help - and I'd be grateful for a steer on what are good default settings for smoothing curves in freehand drawing. None of the settings seem to help or have a simple and useful effect for freehand work.
Can I assume that it only works with the brush tool and not with other tools like the Art History Brush?
I know Trevor D has mentioned this software a couple of times.
Thanks.

David, you had me wondering there. I don't think I have ever used the Art History brush. I did try though, and initially thought LNP did not work with that tool, but with high settings I could see that it does.
For smooth lines use the Massive Smooth preset with mode set to Moving Average. The default values are good for the Brush tool, but seem to work better with much higher 'Amount' setting for the Art History brush. But I have no experience with the Art history brush, and don't even have a clear idea how it works.
Lazy Mouse with the Pulled string mode, are used for smooth lines with abrupt changes of direction. You have to stop and move the cursor back a touch to take the tension out of the pulled string. Then move in the new direction and when the pulled string becomes taut the line will follow the cursor again.
Actually, the animated gifs on the site explain it better than my words
Pulled String:
Moving Average
Moving Average + Catch Up
I don't think that Guilaume ever sleeps. He has never taken more than 30 minutes to reply to an email, even on Christmas day! He is super helpful, and tends to respond immediately if you use the LNP Chat facility.
If you check out the Feedback page, you'll find lots of LNP users that do 'similar' work to you, although I have to say none that were quite like your beautiful painterly type artworks. You'll possibly recognize some of the names, and maybe swap some ideas with them. It's quite a little community, but there isn't a forum unfortunately.
I am not sure how relevant they will be to your work, but do check out the Constraint presets. For line drawing I find they are really useful.

Best optimization settings for non-grainy animation?

I am working on a pretty small animation, but it's turning out grainy (as I realize some animations can be). But, there are so many combinations of settings, and I'm not too familiar with terms, etc. What are the best settings for getting a clear animation?? The attached *.gif is the one I'm working on--it has only 8 frames (2 original, and 6 tweens done through CS4's animation function). I played around the best I could with settings, but it's still not as clear as I'd like it. Is it when you add the tweens that it affects quality?
Thanks for helping!

First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

JVC GZ-HD7U MPEG Streamclip export settings for use with FCP

There are a number of compression options in the free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it's unclear what's best or how I would figure that info out. My guess is Apple HDV 1080i50, Apple HDV 1080i60, Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50, or Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i60. The default setting was Apple Motion JPEG A, but this produced a huge file and doesn't seem right anyway. I think the desired frame size is 1920 x 1080, but I'm uncertain if I need to end up with an interlaced or progressive .mov file. My selectable options for progressive/interlaced are: "Interlaced Scaling," "Reinterlace Chroma," and "Deinterlace Video." Selecting "Deinterlace Video" excludes use of the other two options.
These clips will eventually be edited in FCP and I'm guessing that the appropriate settings will match whatever is selected at the export stage.
I'm using the JVC Everio GZ-DH7U HD Hard disk camcorder...I'm not sure if JVC uses the same setting across the board for it's HD cameras or maybe just the Everio cameras are similarly designed??
Thanks to all!!

the output should match the source file, generally speaking. So if you camera is making HD files then using a HD sized coded would suffice.
HDV (IIRC) is 1440x1080. I often find that using the default settings for a particular file type in Streamclip often work quite well.
As a test, take a small file. if it works, great batch process away, if not, tweak it and then try the same small file until you get a desirable result. Rinse and repeat.

What Encoder Settings Does "Share with Facebook" Use?

With iMovie '11 you can Share/Facebook, which will upload the current project to a Facebook personal page. The problem is, I need to upload the movie to a group page that I administer. Yes, this has been asked before, and the answer was "Export to a local drive/desktop and upload to your Facebook group." Got it.
BUT... USING WHAT ENCODER SETTINGS? When you upload directly to Facebook, it's a "black box"--all you can choose is resolution. The video is beautiful when it's finished uploading. But, I HAVE NO IDEA what those encoder settings are and I've tried about every other combination of MP4/H.264 and the video looks typically like dog excrement--never as good as when I upload with the Facebook option.
What encoder settings does the Facebook option use???
- George -

If you want to replicate the black box, use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE...
You can also use SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER. YOu will find the resulting movie buried in the project package.
If you want to roll your own...
SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME
QuickTime Movie
h.264 as video codec.
AAC or uncompressed as audio codec.
Set keyframes to automatic (or 24).
Set bitrate to 16,000 kbps, but you can back off from there. You may go as low as 8,000 but you would have to experiment.
It is difficult to get better quality than the default settings, but some people are able to get similar quality at a reduced file size. With YouTube and FaceBook, you should not care about file size. I would err on the side of quality, because FaceBook and YouTube may recompress in their proprietary format, and you want to give them as much to work with as possible.
If you want more detail, here is an article from YouTube on how to optimize settings. The same should work fine for FaceBook.
