Export clips to re-import for further editing?

REF to the following discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4846909#4846909
Excuse  me for butting in, but this is related to my question. I, too, wanted to export at a 'matching original' format so as not to lose any quality. And noticed the same 50% quality output.
Some of the clips in my project needed denoiser applied before bringing into a sequence for editing with other clips. but they won't play in realtime, even with CUDA. I thought I might put each clip on its own sequence, apply the effects, and export out the new denoised clip to re-import. But with the matched setting, it seems the quality is noticeably degraded. I can't really tell because my monitor is not professional.
I also tried the DNxHD format, but it created huge files and poor quality video. Perplexed about that one, as I was expecting a ProRes type quality on the PC.
So, if the matched setting is not adviseable, what then is the best output format to use for HDV material to be re-imported back in for further editing? I am thinking h264 at a high data rate like 24-25 Mb/sec.  Or is that advisable at all?
And, I assume the original clips with denoiser effect (red bar) do not need to be rendered before exporting?
I have a reasonably fast PC, 32 G RAM, NVidia GTX580 Ampd! video card, i7 3.4 MHz processor, separate RAID 0 drives for footage and previews. And CS6 apps.

Alex,
I suppose it would not be helpful to suggest a different camera - one with better low light capabilities, but it might be worth considering.
Cineform will interpolate the 4:2:0 chroma to 4:2:2 and has it's own color correction tools. I imagine that will help you immensely. I used to capture directly to the Cineform codec and need to start doing that again if I ever get around to taking the HDV camera out of the bag again. If you capture to it, there is no time lost to speak of.  I am not sure if I am going to do that much after I buy my new DSLR next month, except to use as a second camera or for b-roll but you never know. If my research determines that I am sticking with Cineform after I change cameras, I will be posting the reasons here on the forum, just to let people know what I found.
And no. You don't need to render in order to export, but most people do so they can see the video in real time before exporting.
Lagarith can be found under AVI. You have to change the majority of the parameters from codec to frame size to filed order and more, but you can get there. I have never used UT so I can't help there.

  • Exporting synced audio with video for further editing

    I'm exporting DSLR footage with synced audio in order to "bake" the audio in. I'm going to bring the export into Prelude to organize and then back into Premiere to edit. What are the best export settings (including target and maximum bitrate) to maintain top quality footage that I'll continue editing?
    Thanks!

    I'd go with UT, DNxHD or AVC-I for this.

    how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
    then you should follow Harm's sage advice.

    But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
    you should consider using the Project Manager.
    Trim or copy your project
    By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
    with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
    Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
    it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

    This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
    But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
    *My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

    Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

    You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
    In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
    If this isn't working got to :-
    Edit, Preferences, External Editing
    .....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
    Good luck!

  • How to export clips to After Effects for Compositing

    I want to export clips from my timeline into After Effects to add some compositing of clouds and sky replacement.
    FCP 7
    AE CS5
    OS 10.6.8
    I dragged the clips from my timeline back into the Browser into a new bin but when I export from there, the dimensions aren't the same as my project.
    My project is 1920x1080 and when I export the edited (spliced) clips from the browser, they're 720.
    I don't want to go into my raw files and try and eyball where I spliced the clips b/c each video file is about 2 gigs and I'm only using a small section of each clip.
    Any suggestions on how to do this?

    It is much easier just to use Automatic Duck's Pro Import AE which will allow you to send your timeline to AE.
    AE will use the existing media that is called for by the FC timeline, you don't have to copy/export the media files.
    Used to cost several hundred dollars, now FREE as the creator has gone to work for Adobe.
    http://www.automaticduck.com/products/piae/
    P.S. The site says it is compatible up to CS5.5 which was current when development was stopped, but I use it in CS6 with no problem.

  • Which configurations are really important for video editing?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a newbie looking for the best compromise budget Mac for AVCHD 1080p video editing with Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere CS6 and Adobe Aftereffects. The storage space is not important as I'm planning to keep all the files on a Thunderbolt-connected EHD (any comments on this?).
    Currently, I'm working on a iMac 27'' 3.4GHz i7 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675 MX 1024 MB and would like to get a personal machine that also works (as) smooth, but for a smaller budget. These are the options I currently have:
    1. Mac mini (late 2012) MD387xx/A
    2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    16GB DDR3 SDRAM
    Intel HD 4000
    500 GB HD
    Thunderbolt USB 3
    802.11n WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0
    2. iMac 27'' (mid 2011)
    2.7GHZ Intel Core i5
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
    1TB HDD
    3. MacBook Pro 17'' (early 2011)

    AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    500 GB SATA Storage
    How important is the duo- or quad-core?
    Which graphic card would be the best suited for video editing and graphics on FCPX/AfterEffects?
    Which one would you go for if looking for a stable, strong performance for up to 5 years?
    Thanks in advance for any tips!

  • CFMAIL: How to open an email for further editing before it is sent?

    I'd like to know if there is a way, using CFMAIL, to create
    the email in the code but instead of sending the email, have the
    email open in the client email program so that the user can further
    edit this email if they so wish before they manually hit the send
    button?
    I could use the standard html mailto tag instead of cfmail,
    but I need the email to force the "From" value I specify, and not
    show it's from the person who's email account it opens in with
    their email client. So I'm hoping there is a cfmail equivalent as I
    don't want the email to send straight away!!
    Any workarounds to get this to work gratefully received!
    Thanks

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Dan. The textarea presented on

  • Dedicated video card important for photo editing?

    I am in the market for a new mbp, for photo editting (Lightroom, and photoshop occationally), debating between the 13" with an external monitor or 15".  I am sure the cpu power of the 13" should be enough.  What about the video card.  Is the integrated video card on the 13"s good enough?  I don;t play video games.
    Thanks!

    I would actually be more concerned with the CPU power on the 13''. Though it will run CS6, the dual core processor will limit performance more than the integrated graphics. The integrated Iris on the 13'' is good enough, but processing speed may be an issue if you are doing heavy editing/ running concurrent processes. You may want to go with the baseline 15'' without the discrete GPU, with even better integrated graphics (Crystalwell), and, most importantly, with the quad core i7 configuration.
    Comparison of the multicore 64bit benchmark test scores from Geeksquad show that CPU performance between the mid 2013 Air and Late 2013 13'' MB Pro are almost identical:
    Macbook Pro Retina (13'' Late 2013): 6206
    Macbook Air (13'' Mid 2013): 6140
    Compare with....
    Macbook Pro Retina (15'' Late 2013): 13429

  • Greenscreen Export For Further Editing

    I want to export this greenscreened keyed video to a client to be edited further on a Mac or a PC. I would give them the original footage from a DSLR, but it needed some color correction and noise removal. And I promised to key it for them.
    How can I export with the transparency?

    If you are passing on a file that some one else is going to edit with / from..its going to be large by definition.
    I have no idea how you are seeing the BG noise issue?  You did not say.
    If its clean in AEFX...its clean.
    You dont say if you are doing a BG test as I suggested. Neutral Grey Solids and Color Bars are good tests.
    Show us a test.
    FWIW...I have done this many times in AEFX.  I create a DI with alpha.

  • Exporting the film in best quality for further editing

    I am about to finish a 52-minute long documentary in Final Cu Express. I've been editing in HD, using Apple Intermediate Codec1080i50.
    Part of the project files and render files are in an external G-Raid and other part are on my Macbook pro hard drive, Since I will be traveling, I would like to be careful and minimize the risk of something happening either to the G-Raid or to my Mac, therefore, I want to export the film as it is, although in the future I still might need to work on it - do some more final editing and definitely do the subtitles in DVD Pro (currently I don't have the DVD Pro). My question is whether I should be using export - quick time movie or quick time conversion - and what the settings would be for the best quality product that could be used in documentary film screenings and possibly shown on TV? Or how should I go about saving the project? Right now the project file only has references to the files, right, not the files themselves and if something happens I might lose it all...
    Thanks for the help!

    QuickTime Movie. Forget the render filed, they seldom reconnect properly; it's usually better just to re-render. Keep your G-RAID and make sure it is backed up together with your project.

  • Reimporting an img file for further editing

    Hi I was reading about a program which would enable one to convert an img file to a form that would allow the file to be reimported to editing software for additional work. I can't remember where I read about it or what it was called. Anyone hear of such a useful thing?
    Thanks
    Leslie

    Hi Leslie
    The most convinient way I know of is using Roxio Toast™
    In Video mode down a small round button indicates "Export" the resulting
    file is just to import to iMovie, FCE etc.
    Quality is less that Your original but max what a DVD can deliver.

  • Best output file type for further editing

    Hi - I was hoping someone could help me with this. I'm making shots which composit various source material (cgi, still images, video from a Canon 7D, etc) which I intend to then edit in premiere for a final output which is as lossless as possible. The trouble is shots which are even a few seconds long render out at several Gb (thus making the final edit enormous - 30Gb+ for two minutes of footage).
    I started outputting with quicktime (animation codec) but was advised to switch to targa sequences but these are pretty huge as well.
    What would be the recommended output for most lossless quality?
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the world of video compositing, where quality and file size go hand in hand.  I'm working on a project today that is a 7 minute promo video, and the current job folder is just under 1 Terabyte.  If you are serious about quality work in this field you need plenty of hard drive space.  Hard drives are ridicuously cheap these days - I can buy an uncased 2TB drive for about $80, or a USB 3 2TB for $95ish.
    Quicktime Animation, Quicktime PNG and Uncompressed are common intermediate formats.  Apple users also commonly use Pro Res formats, and the Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • How to export clips to be used for multi-angle video DVDs??

    I've read all the posts here that I can find but I'm still coming up empty. I have three clips, one a multiangle clip and then the two source clips that went into making it. All three have the same in and out points marked and the same duration and I've gone to compressor and qued all three up before submitting, with all the same video settings. But I still can't get all three to work. Only the two source videos go together. It keeps telling me that "The Video Asset 'X' is only usable up to XXXXXX" and asks me if I want to use it anyway. If I say no, then it tells me that there was an incompatible GOP structure. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I am this close to literally banging my head against the table in my attempts to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When working with multi angle or mixed angle, the alternate sequences must have the exact same GOP structure each... this means that when the encoder converts them to MPEG that 'I' frames are in exactly the same position for all three pieces.
    Typically, a cut in your FCP timeline will force the encoder to place an 'I' frame, which then means that ALL the clips need to have the same cut. Additionally, ALL alternate sections need to be the same length (to the frame).
    There is much debate about the differences between VBR and CBR encoding. I have had nothing but trouble with VBR and multi-angle... so use CBR. Also, I am one of the first to say don't use DVDSP to act as your encoder, however for mixed or multi-angle work it seems to produce a more reliable result in terms of GOP structure (sigh... ).
    In short, use an encoder that doesn't employ scene detection , use CBR and make sure all sections are the right length.
    How did you encode this footage to begin with?
