Edit in lower bitrate and export in higher bitrate

Is there a way i can edit HD movie in a lower bitrate for better workflow, and then when im finished edititing the movie, i can export the movie out in original HD bitrate.

dont know, never did it...
I did edit one thing ONLINE..then switch the files to HD....in other words, I would maybe consider having your assets dv and hd separate..
edit the dv stuff online...like thats your project ....back it up, copies, etc...do your edit...
then when done dump the dv stuff, by moving your assets from one folder to another...swith them out...and if everyhthing is named exactly the same you should be able to just reopen the project and ( magic ) now you have the HD stuff there instead of dv..if your machine can handle it.
Then just export your final product from there and pray a lot.
Its not unlike what an intermediate FCP ( prores ) file does with footage...but in this case its not mac and not prores... but back it all up etc cause who knows what will happen when you switch out the files.
as far as size for dv goes, keep your apect ratio and frame rate and so on and do custom, desktop whatever ( anamorphic ) whatever you have to do to edit the real "final" product with the hd footage....you know?...do a small test first and see if it works OK, through the whole thing...including burning blue ray or deliver to whatever you need for final product... little test and see if it works...then go for it ( remember your machine capablilities ...or you'll have to transfer everything to external drives and bring to post house instead )

  • Can you edit in Low Res then conform to High Res

    A producer told me she wanted to edit in Low Res, then do an online to replace the sequence with High Res media.  I haven't done this since I started using Final Cut:  I've edited in High Res all along. 
    Is it necessary?  And how would it be done?  Many thanks for any knowledge you can share.

    ProRes 422 is a mastering codec. It's is a format that you do convert many camera formats into. But it is a full resolution mastering codec. Tutorial?  No...but the manual:

    How did he deal with all that video? Well, he had HUNDREDS of hours...adding up to 54TB. So he had to work on the project in sections, with 12TB loaded at a time.  It was tricky, but far less tricky than offline/online would have been. Less time consuming too...all the time to convert ALL of that footage to offline resolution, long time.
    You're iMac is plenty powerful for ProRes. My 7 year old MacPro could deal with it fine, and your machine is more powerful.

  • How to do frame-by-frame editing in iMovie 08 and export in H264?

    I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
    I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
    I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
    I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
    How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
    Thanks for any ideas

    iMovie exports in h.264 by default. All the presets are h.264 (except Tiny).
    If you need to adjust the h.264 in some way, then SHARE.EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
    To edit to the nearest frame, Go to iMovie/Preferences and select Display Time Codes.

  • Editing a 320x240 vid and exporting

    Question: How can I edit a video with 320x240 res in FCP and export it while maintaining its native resolution.
    Each time I import the video it slaps it within a 720x480 resolution timeline.
    -=adam=-

    To expand on Chris's good suggestion, you need to duplicate a current Easy Setup and adjust the settings to match EXACTLY the settings of the clips you are importing.

  • IPhoto pics are low resolution and small

    I've got other open tickets on here, but let's try and tackle this one for now.
    I recently had my IT guy here at work update my OS and as a result, destroy my iPhoto as I know it.
    It imported all my pics, lost the albums, used the face recognition and doubled the size of my folders AND seems to have imported the pics at a lower resolution.
    When I click on an individual picture, on the display screen it shows up small in the window.  I can zoom on it, but it looses resolution.  It's just as if they were brought in at a low resolution, and lost the high resolution.
    Let me know if something similar has happened to you, I can post pics of my screen if this is too hard to follow...
    Thanks,
    JT

    2 - in the finder drag the iPhoto library from the current loction in the pictures folder to the desktop
    I drag it down and it starts to copy the library...doesn't delete it.  I'm assuming I can make that copy, then drag the original folder to the trash, then essentially deleting it?
    Dragging the library to a new location on the same volume does not copy it but moves it and is virtually instant - if you drag it to a different volume it will copy it -  by default both the pictures folder and the desktop folder are on the same volume so you are doing something incorrectly
    if it is a copy on an external drive then drag it intact as a single entity to the pictures folder on your boot drive - if it was backedup using backup software (like Time Machine or other backup software) then use that software to restore it
    The key is not where it is but how it got there - if it was copied to an external drive then drag it as a single entity to the pictures folder on your internal (main) drive - the drive your system folder is on (the boot drive - the drive you boot to wheb you start your computer
    IF
    you used a back up program to put it there then you use that backup program to restore it to the pictures folder on your main drive

  • When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
    Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
    If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

  • Does adobe Premiere Pro CC edit and export 4k and higher video resolutions?

    Hey Guys I am new the forum but have been using adobe products for years. I am having some problems finding if Adobe Premiere Pro CC effectively lets you edit and export video at 4k and higher. I am having a custom built computer to specifically handle high resolution output and video editing. I have a 5k monitor to go with it as we;;. Long story short is I need to make sure I can edit and export at full resolution. I am not interested in compressing the video output to 1080P from a 4k video input source. It would be a shame if I have to learn a completely new software program for my business because I have loved previous versions of the adobe premiere pro. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am expected to get my custom build back this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help provided!

  • How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

    How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

    click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
    if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

  • Import, edit, and export QuickTime document: wise? how to maintain quality?

    Can iMovie HD 6.0.3 be used to import a reasonably-high-quality QuickTime file (Apple Graphics compression), edit it, and export to Quicktime, all resulting in a QuickTime file with the same clarity as the original?
    I have a quicktime file that captures a demonstration on my desktop. It was recorded with SnapZ Pro (with movie option) into this format: Apple Graphics, 889 x 500, 256, IMA 4:1, Mono, 22.050 kHz. (Note: I got 889x500 when I constrained SnapZ to a 16x9 format.)
    I need to clip out sections, rerecord some of the audio, insert snippets of replacement video (re-recorded). I have Quicktime 7.1.3 Pro, but I had this idea it would be easier to do this editing with IMovie HD 6.0.3.
    My problem is that everything I export has noticeably worse quality than the original source. I have tried all sorts of projects (DV, HDV, MPEG-4, ISight). I've tried exports at full quality, lower quality, various expert settings.
    For example:
    - Create a DV-Widescreen project.
    - Import the movie. What I see on the screen is slightly smaller (in both dimensions) than the QuickTime Player shows me, and quite noticeably blurrier.
    - Picking Expert export, I use Compression: Graphics, Depth: Color, Quality: Best, key frame rate 24, Dimensions 889x500, Scale: Letterbox.
    - The QuickTime file displays as the right size, with a tiny black border for letterboxing, and with crummy quality (text has shadows, making it worse than just blurry.) All this despite being 30MB from a 3.2MB original.
    Quite likely, I'm using the wrong tool. I don't have a camcorder - I don't even have a TV - so I don't know any of the jargon. What would be the right tool for this task? Stick to Quicktime Pro?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    How would Final Cut Express work for editing quicktime as above?
    same answer:
    FCE handles dv/NTSC/PAL only ...-
    for sure, you can import "any format/res" ...- with loss of quality, if import doesn't fit standards...- and: FCE is the "more mightier" tool, means, you can easiely arrange two/many videos in one picture, arrange them, position them ...-
    if you want to stay with your original settings, you have to use QTpro (less convenient) or FCP (less cheap) ...

  • Downloads Low resolution images and not the high resolution as it did in 08

    'm using iPhoto '09 , unfortunately iPhoto only downloads the low res images and not the high resolution images. This makes it pretty much worthless, since the low resolution images are really bad in iPhoto. There was not any problems with Iphoto in the past Thank You

    What do you mean by "downloading"? There are a couple of ways to get image file out of iPhoto:
    1 - select the thumbnails and drag them to the desktop. This will give you copies of the latest version of each photo.
    2 - select the thumbnails, use the File->Export->File Export menu option. Depending on how you configure the export you will get the original, the latest version and/or a reduced size copy that you determine.
    3 - select thumbnails and use the Share->Send to DVD. This produces a mini library of the photos you've selected which include the original files, thumbnail files and any modified/edited file. This method is intended for use on computers that are running iPhoto.
    Which method are you using?

  • Export to SD card for car stereo - use lower bitrate?

    Okay, so my fancy new car stereo has an SD card slot, and the stereo reads a file structure so I can have folders for each Artist, and in that a flofer for each album, with MP3 files inside. I can see tha ther easiest way to populate an SD card is to copy the artist folders directly from the itunes music folder in Finder.
    But... all my MP3s in iTunes are ripped at 192kbs, and to fit more on an SD card I'd like to use smaller versions.
    Can't work out a way to do this easily. I can create lower bitrate verions using "create new version" but there are then stored in the same folders so I get two copies of each song. Can anyone sugegst a way of exporting a whole batch of songs (several thousand) to a new folder at a reduced bitrate?
    Or converting a batch?
    Or suggest some other idea to create a reduced bitrate SD card without having to look at each MP3 file idividually (which all the solutions I've considered so far seem to need).

    Still not quite achieving what I'm aiming at. I've found scripts to batch-convert an export, but the newly created files are then just 'loose' in folders and not nested as artists and albums. I've found other scripts to export with the file strucure intact. But not both.

  • Does the low bitrate of x-fi 5.1 pro affect playback quality of higher bitrates?

    I needed a 5.1 sound card for my laptop, and this was the only one I could afford used -- so far Im pretty satisfied, it works for cheap.
    but I need to know if its important to save up for a better one right away --
    I was concerned that since it only supports 44.8 and 96kbps that higher encoded audio like 128kbps and greater may not play back at the same quality they were recorded -- this is important because I ONLY use digital audio -- I have no analog -- videos are blu-ray rips, audio is FLAC or high encoded MP3, no cds, dvds, physical blu-rays.
    so the encoding is often 128kbps or higher. sometimes even 196.
    right now im keeping it until I can afford better regardless -- but is playback of these higher bitrates lower quality since it is being output at only 44.8 or 96?
    just wondering, been finding it hard to get a straight simple answer to this. lots of people insist I never have audio play back at higher than 44.8 or 96, but I find that impossible since LOTS of my audio is encoded either lossless or at a higher rate.

    So are you only getting sound out of the front center channel? I have this issue only from certain audio sources, such as YouTube videos, where all front right and left channel audio is put out through the center channel only. Are you not getting sounds from the front channels when using any type of media (mp3, games, DVDs)?
    The only other reasons I was having issues like this were as follows: I hadn't checked the mixer settings yet in the windows and creative control panels to ensure volume levels were set correctly for all channels; I hadn't yet set my speakers to 5. sound (although this only affected the rear channels).
    Let me know what you find. Also, have you tried the utility in the Creative control panel that lets you click each speaker to test it yet?

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.
