EXport Jitter for H.264

I am hoping someone can help because I am baffled...
I create a project in CS5 using P2 footage shot from an HVX200 camera - 1280x720 - 29.97fps. The footage appears as 960x720 in project.
I finished the project and hit File-Export-Media.
In the encoder, I select H.264 - Preset: HDTV 720p High Quality 29.97fps. The output matches the source as 1280x720 Progressive VBR, 1 pass.
I hit export and once it completes I open the mp4 in QT. It is jittery. Never plays right. I open up the movie properties in QT and see H.264, 1280x720, but I also see a data bit rate which is not normally there.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong - why this file does not play right. Just for the hell of it, I exported as FLV 1280x720 and itr was perfect - no jitter.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks, Steve

Uninstalling is not the answer to me. I recently completed another project where the footage was shot on an Sony XD Cam and imported as 1440x1080. I exported the exact same way with h.264 – same settings and it plays perfect on QT. I cannot understand why this current project does not. These h.264 videos are being sent to clients and QT and Window Media is what they have to view them. If this doesn’t work, I have to send Flash which looks great through the Adobe Media Player.

Exporting settings for H.264 "Field order & TV standart & Profile"?

So, in premiere CC, when exporting to H.264 format. There is these options in the video tab.
Field order & TV standart & Profile
I have 2 questions
What do they change in your video? and does it matter in this day & age?
(I know there the "leave mouse cursor on top of it, get yellow explaining box" but's its technical ciberish to me)

If working with 1080i, then Field Order does matter, and should be set to UPPER.
For 1080p or 720p, then of course it should be set to PROGRESSIVE.
You are correct that "NTSC or PAL" should not really apply when discussing HD formats, for the simple reason that NTSC and PAL refer specifically to standard definition broadcast standards. However, the terms have morphed into being used to differentiate between the NTSC and PAL framerates, being 29.97 and 25 respectively, which does still apply to HD formats.
As for the Profile setting, that depends on the mode of delivery, whether YouTube or Blu-ray or mobile device or whatever. I don't know of any general rule applying in that area. I just use Presets appropriate to my needs and leave the Profile as is, since the Adobe engineers ought to know the best setting for any given preset.

Export Media not respecting bitrate change for H.264

I am having an etremely odd problem where I can't change the export bitrate for an H.264 video. Actually, I can change it but then when I export it to adobe media encoder the change is not respected.
For example I have a video that I exported at 9 Mbps. I would like to reduce the file size by encoding at 6 Mbps, so I change the settings and export again however the change is not reflected in adobe media encoder. It still encodes the video at 9 Mbps?
I am using Premiere CS4. Has anyone ever run into this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Are you trying to encode using CBR? If so, make the bit rate change to the Target bit rate in the VBR settings, then switch to CBR. That should work for you.

Best settings for h.264 export in HD

Hello, i have been reading a lot about h.264 in these forums and on the internet and im a bit stumped on how i should export my video. i shot it in 1080p 29.97 on a canon sx10 is. the file imports fine and exports no problems, but the ending quality is pretty bad. BTW im using FCE 4. first, the video in FCE looks great. i know it converts it to AIC and that part is high quality and fine. if i export it to a self contained movie, it crops it but it is still pretty high quality. my problem is i want to store the file and wont edit it again so i dont want a huge AIC file. i want the resultant file to be mp4 with h.264 and AAC audio. i dont care too much what the filesize is for the mp4 but no matter what i do i cant seem to get as good quality as the AIC, no matter the bit rate, or any other settings i change. can someone point me in the right direction as to what the highest quality output for h.264 would look like in FCE 4? thank you!

Here are some basics....
FMLE creates RTMP protocol streams that PCs and Macs watch with Flash players. iOS devices don't understand RTMP (Flash), only HLS delivery of 10 second chuncks of downloaded video playback. Both systems understand H.264 video, but iOS wants to see AAC audio not MP3.
You didn't state how you are live streaming, meaning what bandwidth delivery service you are using. Live streaming only via RTMP won't get you to successful iPad and iPhone HTTP Live Stream. On-demand delivery to iOS devices normally requires .mp4 video files to be hosted, which Macs and PCs also understand via RTMP delivery. But unless your delivery service can convert .f4v or .flv files to .mp4 on the fly there is no easy way to to get to iOS via the direct file output of FMLE as of today. Sometimes we upload live encoded project files to our www.Wistia.com account for PC, Mac and iOS delivery. This is a YouTube / Vimeo paid type hosting service for on-demand only.
Some commercial CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) today allow an inbound live RTMP into their system using FMLE. Then they re-mux that RTMP stream into HLS delivery for iOS. Some work well using the native MP3 audio codec (Internap), but most require FMLE to have the AAC audio codec installed from Main Concept for $200. Or people use Wirecast from Telestream which is $500 per license to be able to run two instances on that one license.
In my 15 years of being a big commercial webcaster here in Silcion Valley, I have yet to find the perfect simple and easy and affordable RTMP to HLS live and on-demand delivery system. We currently do it different ways with multiple providers depending on the job. More offerings are coming out now and we try them all as they come down the pike.

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

Export/Convert to h.264 results in jerky video in WMP

System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 EN
In Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder CS4 I have problems exporting video to h.264.
Please download the sample file here:
http://www.tsxn.com/storage/transfer/premiere_h264.zip
Source:
H.264 HDTV Testvideo (e.g. "01-TestVideo_Original_h264.MOV")
Profile: 1920x1080 fps 30, square pixel, progressive
Destination:
For Testing purpose, just converting the original within the Adobe Media Encoder
Profile: same as Source
1) The original source file plays fine using any player, so the hardware of my test systems (3 computers) is ok
2) When exporting the Video to H.264 (e.g. "02-TestVideo_Convert_h264.mp4") the resulting video is jerky in Windows Media Player and Quicktime
3) Strange: When converting the jerky result video again (e.g. "03-TestVideo_ConvertAgain_wmv.wmv") , but now into WMV, it plays fine again
Can anyone confirm this problem on his system?
It seems to me that Windows Media Player and Quicktime enforce their own h.264 decoder which has problems playing Premiere Exports. VLC Media Player and the Adobe media player for example seems to have no problem at all.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you
Chris

Jim, thanks for testing.
My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
Here is another test video:

Is there a maximum possible bitrate for h.264 (from DV iMovie)?

Hello,
I have a DV file (a iMovie project) that is 8,76GB big. I want to burn it on a 8,5GB Dual Layer DVD. So I choose 23000kbit/s as video bitrate for h.264 (audio AAC 320kbit/s). The result was a file of 5,44GB (17Mbit/s). When I then tried 26000kbit/s the result was the same.
I the chose "best quality" and bitrate set to "automatic". The result was a 5,77GB file.
So, I wondered, if there is a limit in iMovieHD'05 for the bitrate chosen with h.264.
I have a very slow Mac, so I can't just test everything through, so here is my second question: would handbrake )last version for 10.5) be able to output a h.264 file with a bitrate of 23000kbit/s?
Another topic: I heard you can encode a DV file to mpeg2 with Toast Titanium, which I have. How do I do that, when I drop the VD file on it and choose compress and save as image, I get a video file of 8kb and an audio file of 4kb, when I open it and want to burn it, it starts compressing it again.
Thanks in advance.

sure did iMHD5 export as DV!
That's its 'native' format, iMovie-a (≤v.6) was a dv-editor by concept.-
there is no 'smaller' bitrate in DV - dv is a very straight codec, by standard 13GBs/h - done.
and for sure you can save larger files than >4GB on a fat32 formated media - I'm doing so 'daily' some of my cheap sport-cameras use fat32-SDCards, recording 2h continously, creating a bunch of files.. on import, those files get 'consolidated' by the edit software.
again: just drag'n drop your precious material on a stick - done.
... it is less complicated than you make it think.
You did not understand the sentence iMovie does not export DV in smaller bitrates. That means, it exports DV, but only in the maximum bitrate of 57MBit/s (as told by QT, when you open a DV file, that you exported from iMovie).
Also, you must be using a System that can read FAT32+. FAT32 (without the "+") can only write up to 4GB. I use Tiger (10.4.11).
I did knew, that FAT32 can only take 4GB big files and I forgot and tried to copy a 9GB file once and it did not work, so I know for sure. Not just since this thread.
Is there any other way than drag and drop files in OS X (I do it that way since OS 9 in 2001)?
I am not as stupid as you make me feel think.
I read up on Toast again and there you can force Toast to fit a DVD file that is bigger than 8,5GB to a 8,5GB DVD. (I just did not want to let Toasts crappy compressor do it, but instead use h.264 for minimum quality loss, even if the human eye can't tell. The source is analog SD material btw.).

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

1080p pour export quality for 25p material from Canon HF100 PAL

Hi
I have now tested iMovie 11 with a Canon HF100 PAL version. Shooting in progressive.
The AIC import has good quality.
New 1080p export gives same pour quality as before when using QuickTime 7 for h.264 export.
AIC export provides good quality.
So still nu easy way for export from iMovie. Is this common or is it a camera compatibility issue?
Thanks
Olof

I just posted this for another user with the same problem.
I have a Sony VG10 camcorder that shoots 30p and records it as 1080i60. iMovie sees this as interlaced video and deinterlaces it IF I use most FX.
So I did a bit of googling and found there is a simple solution. I bought Steve Mullens newest version (09 and 11) of his "Ins and Outs of iMovie." With it I got a free copy of his iMakeFullHD utility. So after importing AVCHD I run the utility on the folder of clips and in a few seconds all the clips are now marked as progressive. Which is actually what they are! iMovie now treats them as 1080p30 -- exactly as it should.
When reading about the utility I remember skipping the stuff on PAL HD camcorders. So I just reread it and it's no big deal eitherl.
If you shoot 1080i50, the video is marked as 1080p25. This is exactly the reverse of what my camera does. So while I need to use iMakeFullHD, PAL users do not.
If you shoot 1080p25, the video is marked as 1080i50. This is exactly like my camera. So you have to use iMakeFullHD to remark it is as progressive -- which is what it is.
Now Ive no idea why Sony or Canon did what they did, but they did. After buying a $2000 camcorder, buying the book was by far the simpler solution.
I know he has a section on 1080p50 and 1080p60 from the tms700. Didn't apply to me so i skimmed it. Also, having had imovie 09 i was surprised to read that 11 now supports real 1080p24. There's also a section on removing 2-3 pulldown from 1080i60 to get 1080p24. Again i just skimmed this in case sony were to release a firmware update so I could shoot 24fps.
One more thing I learned. Because my video really is progressive, I can use all FX. They'll always look perfect.
But, if you shoot 1080i50 -- which imovie sees as 1080p25 -- the good news is that imovie will never deinterlace the clips causing a loss of resolution. But, the clips realy are interlace. this means that sometimes you may see combing during the FX. There are very clear pix of what this looks like in the ebook. But, the solution is so simple -- only shoot 1080p25!
Most of us want to shoot progresssive anyway!
The nice thing is i followed the instrictions on burning 1080 avchd video to DVDs and they play in HD on my BD player. And, i didn't have to buy a BD burner.

Exporting AAF for Pro Tools.

So I got an OMF from FTP into STP with no problem, only to find that I couldn't export it again - hopefully a feature in the new STP? Anyway, my only option was to export an AAF (don't have the original FCP timeline to work with) - this audio needs to go to Pro Tools.
But my Pro Tools guy is saying he can't do anything with the AAF file if it's not consolidated into one file - like the OMF normally is.
So - is there a way to export a consolidated AAF? I don't see the option.

Our round trip workflow works, but still hoping for a better alternative in the future.
Duplicate & Rename the sequence for export (just a good habit to have... "videoblah.002, 003, etc). Then clean up any potential audio / video problems; clips that are not enabled, duplicate audio, delete blank tracks, and all the stuff the seems to crowd in the back of my timeline.
-It is a good idea to label your audio tracks for transfer (right-click> rename)
After that I export an OMF. (File>Export>OMF) and select the settings below:
That's just audio so for video, I export a quicktime H.264 video for ProTools DVtoolkit (video import plugin). Protools will except H.264 .MOV files, but it will not ingest H.264 .MP4's. It will also handle 1920x1080 files, but if I am rendering out a long project I like to keep the file size smaller by cutting the resolution in half or more.
The audio guy then takes it from there and gives me back a 24-bit single track audio wav file.
Thus far it seems to be a workflow, but if I want to go back and make changes, then either I have to do it all over again, or tell the audio guy specifically what needs done.
All in all, it's not efficient as using a roundtrip workflow such as AVID > ProTools and back again in AAF form.
Hope that helps.

What is the best export setting for burning a dvd?

I am trying to export my senior thesis to a DVD, I've never burnt a DVD before and am using Adobe Premiere cs6.
I used a Canon7D 24fps to film and want the best quality of video and audio possible.
ALSO, after I've exported it, are there any other steps I need to take before burning it to a DVD?
Please help!

The best quality will be using an x264 encoder in CQ mode to create a Blu-ray.
Next best is exporting using an H.264 Blu-ray preset for creating a Blu-ray.
After that, exporting a lossless file for MPEG 2 conversion using the free HC Encoder using CQ mode, which will end up on a DVD.
Last in the quality lineup, export using an MPEG2-DVD preset, changing the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively.
Avoid Dynamic Link.

Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
Hello,
I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7. Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc. But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed. As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec. I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD. I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000. My audio is set at AAC.
It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline. I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export. The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
I could really use could some wisdom today!
Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

Now PrP cant export to QT H.264 or QT DNxHD

I spent last week troubleshooting with a talented Adobe team member my systems inability to export from ANY CS6 apps to QT H.264. In all cases the Media Core shut down and it failed. I decided to work around it by starting to use MP4 H.264 as an alternative.
Today I tried to export a project for mastering purposes . PrP will now not export to QT DNxHD either.
Not being able to export from my HP Z820 to DNxHD (which is an industry standard codec required by many vendors) means that I cannot use this system for editing with clients anymore.
As a side bar, another editor who owns an HP Z800 series is also experienceing the inability to export to QT H.264 with all CS6 apps.

Good questions all addressed by my extensive testing with Adobe last week.
- If you select H.264 under Format instead of QuickTime in the Export Settings dialog, can you export to H.264 without issues?
(MP4) H.264 which is what you are referring to exports fine.
- Does it happen with Export *and* Queue or only when using Export or Queue?
It happens with Export and Queue. It affects PrP, AE , AME and MPEG Streamclip
- Can you export to DNxHD from After Effects?
No, same fail happens as in PrP , AME and MPEG Streamclip.
- Can you export to DNxHD from AME if you queue up a file via File > Add Source?
Nope.
- When did this start to happen?
Hard to say since I just made the transition from Mac to Windows with lots of stuff going on. I think maybe after a recent Windows update, but I cant swear to that.
- What version, 6.0.2 or 6.0.3?
6.03
- What version of QT is installed on your computer? (I use 7.6.6)
The most recent 7.72 but I uninstalled and tried 7.6 as well.
This problem apears to not be unique to Adobe apps, but systemic since it affects MPEG Streamclip as well.

Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

Hi all,
I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
Roughly, the answer is:
Quicktime container
Video codec: H.264
Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
Audio codec: AAC
Output channels: Stereo
Frequency: 48kHz
Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
Bitrate: 8000
Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

EXport Jitter for H.264
