Export RED DPX Sequence

I have some RED 4K material. When I try to export out a DPX sequence and import that into AE it is not maintainng the modified RED RAW image charateristics of how it was shot or how I altered it. It looks as if it's showing me the RED RAW Flat gamma setting.

i've had to manually override timecodes on export, not at all ideal and tedious as ****, please tell me there is a simpler way of doing this, this plug is supposed to make your life easier, any feedback/advice greatly appreciated.

Exporting an image sequence - more that 5 digits in filename

I am trying to export a dpx sequence from AE CS6 to insert into a much larger sequence. I see where I can adjust the starting frame number for my exported sequence, but it seems to be limiting me to 5 digits and the sequence I am trying to drop this piece into has a 7 digit number. Is it possible to change this in After Effects so I can export with a 7 digit number?

It's possible to do this, yes, but it's not wholly intuitive.
First, unfortunately the Starting Number value in the Output Module Settings dialog is locked to a max of 5 digits. Increasing the limit is a good feature request. Please submit it:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Now for the good part: you can get the output you want by setting your comp's start frame number. You may also need to adjust the Output Name to accomodate leading zeroes in your target frame numbers.
To change your comp start frame number:
Open the comp.
Choose Composition menu > Composition Settings.
In the Start Frame field, enter the desired value for the first frame of your comp.
This field will display a timecode value by default. Since you may be thinking in integer frame numbers, it may help to change the display units to frames. Do this by choosing File > Project Settings and change the Time Display Style to Frames, then follow the above steps to set the start frame value.
If you're not exporting your entire comp, but just the work area, make sure to adjust your Start Frame value accordingly.
As long as the starting frame number contains the same number of digits as your desired output, this should work for you.
If the portion of the sequence that you wish to export will include leading zeroes, you'll need to adjust the number of digits that AE writes:
In the Render Queue, click the hot text for the Output To field.
The default file name will display something like CompName_[#####].dpx.
Add # symbols as desired. If you want seven digits, use [#######].
If you need to do this frequently, you can create a template for the output name. See:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79f4 a.html#WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79e2a
Following the above steps, your output name will include the number of digits you need.

Exporting DPX Sequence from Premiere Pro CS6

I edited a .mov premiere sequence from my 7D and 5D MK II in SpeedGrade by using the "send to adobe speedgrade" option. I exported the grade as a .dpx sequence and brought it back into premiere. Now when I try to export it in h.264 "for youtube hd 1920x1080 23.976", I get a huge loss in color range and blacks become so pixelated and I even lose a lot of darkness in the blacks. The grade no longer looks good. The preview monitor looks great in premiere but it does not match the final export. I need help with this one!

Exporting DPX sequence: frame rate incorrect in exported file

Hello all, I'm new here. I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. My sequence and source files I am working with are 2048x1240, (1.0), 23.976 fps . I am exporting a DPX file sequence with matching settings.
The problem is, when I import that new DPX file sequence back into my Premiere project, or an AE project with the same settings, the new DPX file has a frame rate of 29.97 fps.
I've tried numerous times and checked all my settings. I can't figure out why the new DPX sequence is not 23.976 fps. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
here are my export settings, note output and source have matching frame rates:
and here is a screen grab showing the file properties of my new exported DPX sequence, after importing back into Premiere Pro CS5, with a frame rate of 29.97 fps.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Jeremy

Hi there.
I am having the same exact problem, in CS6.
BUT, I have exported this project countless times, and only after my last edit has it started to export at 29. My entire movie is in 23.97. I have tried interpreting the one clip that is 29, but this does not help. It will not allow me to interpret the whole project at once.
Are there any other solutions?

How to Export 4K DPX at 25FPS in Premiere Pro CC?

Hi there,
Just wondering if it is at all possible to export a 4K sequence to DPX at 25FPS? There definitely isn't an option for it in the version we have, but I'm wondering if there's a plugin or third party application that can be used to export this way. We're limited on the export perimeters for our final product and DPX is the most likely to be used. We can export our footage at 24FPS, but when it comes to audio we'll need to go through further processing to make things match. If we can avoid it that would be great.
If anyone can lend a hand or at least point me in the direction of where to get more information that'd be fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Amy

Thanks Richarad ..It has solved the problem but still crashes some times .As the programme has the break (bumper)after every five minutes ,i hope it will not compress bumper time too after export.

Playback of DPX sequences with quadro nvidia

I am considering buying a nvidia quadro 4000 for mac to playback my 1080P DPX sequences out threw a BlackMagic HD Extreme 3D card.
At the moment i can do it when i select 1/2 Resolution in playback from Premiere CS 5.5.
My disk speed is about 300MB pr sek so that is not the problem.
Does annybody know if the Quadro card will give me any aceleration with that and make me able to play it back at full res ??
Thank you

> Hardware acceleration doesn't make it easier to "play" any media files (assuming they match the sequence). What get's accelerated are certain effects, scaling, deinterlacing, blending modes, etc. But not simple playback.
That's correct.
The graphics card doesn't help at all with decoding, nor does it help with reading the data off the disk faster. The reason that people talk about the GPU helping with formats like RED is that you are nearly always scaling RED footage down to use it (since you're almost certainly not using a 4K sequence, and you're almost certainly not previewing on a 4K monitor). The GPU helps enormously with scaling operations if you have a card that Premiere Pro can use for CUDA processing.
DPX image sequences are slow to preview for two reasons: data rate off of the hard disk and CPU speed for the relatively slow decoder. Fast disks and fast CPUs are what you need for fast DPX playback.

Trouble importing an XML that uses DPX sequences

We are doing an offline edit using a DPX sequence. We're testing now to ensure that an XML of the sequence when we're done will work. (Our DPX is in HD, and the online house will be taking a 4K DPX version of the same piece - identical except for the resolution - for the online.) However, when we start up a new project and import the XML to test it out, it isn't making the edits to the DPX sequence that we made. Everywhere there is an edit, it just starts the DPX sequence at the beginning again. This is the same exact HD DPX sequence that we used when we made the edits.
Here is the original project:
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1802/i2ht.jpg
Here is what it looks like when we create an XML from that project and import it into a new project:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6389/swfw.jpg
The text block you see in the thumbnail for the videos in the sequence is the slate at the top of the DPX sequence, so you can see that it's just starting at the beginning of the DPX sequence every time there's a cut. What should we be doing differently?

My apologies Jim. My understanding - which was probably incorrect - was that the XML schema that was in use by FCP7, which has since been implemented for use in Smoke, Resolve, Premiere, etc., was developed by Apple. Thanks for educating me!
XML as currently coded cannot convey sequences created from image-sequence-based media.
What has been an issue for me and a few others, which may be in play here, is relinking to media coming from a third party grading session. Smoke, Hiero, Resolve, SpeedGrade can all conform DPXs to an EDL or XML using timecode (independent of reel name, clip name, etc) while Premiere as yet does not. Premiere's relinking struggles if there's any disparity between the source file names and the file names it's relinking to. It would be great to see some more flexibility there, such as timecode-based relinking coupled with optional fields for partial clip name and partial reel name relinking.
Since the original post refers to a third party vendor doing the finish on the project, simply relinking in Premiere may not be an option. If the vendor in question is going to be conforming in either Smoke, Flame or Hiero, just sending an EDL over will just about guarantee a successful conform. I'd contact them and find out what they prefer.
Cheers!

Exporting PNG Image Sequence in Compressor?

Hi everyone!
Can anyone help? Any Compressor pro's out there?
I can successfully export sequences via Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion as .PNG Image Sequences retaining the alpha channel (millions+). However in Compressor the Image Sequence settings seem to ONLY support targa or tiff, IS there a way to export the image sequence using compressor as a alpha channel PNG!
You can export the sequence as a .mov with the png codec.. but I must have it as the image sequence!
Any ideas anyone?

Sorry, but I have not been able to find an option for exporting image sequences with Alpha channel in Compressor either. I submitted a bug report about this a few months ago.
Why do you need to use Compressor? If it is for deinterlacing or resizing, you could export from FCP using Compressor, and choose to export a QuickTime movie using the Animation codec at 100%. After that, you can export your Animation file to a PNG image sequence using QuickTime Pro.
It is the only workaround I can think of at the moment.
I would recommend submitting a bug report: http://www.apple.com/feedback/compressor.html

Video gets SOFT after using export/ media/match sequence settings

Never had this on any other version of PP. PC based 64bit Win 7
EX: I get a job delivered to me that was shot on mini dv (now on a HD) & the clips are all seperated as they were shot.
I put them on the TL & want to make 1 long clip out of them.
I export-media-match sequence settings & the video gets 25% softer. Yes my sequence settings are correct.
I have tryed using "max render quality" button but made no difference.
Does cs5 have a problem in this area? The video looks terrible!
Please advise

Just drag your footage to the New Item button and will create a sequence that matches your footage.
There isnt a preset for that size but you can use the Desktop setting and create one that way too.

Oracle 10g - Data Pump: Export / Import of Sequences ?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and also to Oracle (Version 10g). Since I could not find an answer to my question, I open this post in hoping to get some help from the experienced users.
My question concerns the Data Pump Utility and what happens to sequences which were defined in the source database:
I have exported a schema with the following command:
"expdp <user>/<pass> DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR DUMPFILE=dumpfile.dmp LOGFILE=logfile.log"
This worked fine and also the import seemed to work fine with the command:
"impdp <user>/<pass> DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR DUMPFILE=dumpfile.dmp"
It loaded the exported objects directly into the schema of the target database.
BUT:
Something has happened to my sequences. :-(
When I want to use them, all sequences start again with value "1". Since I have already included data with higher values in my tables, I get into trouble with the PK of these tables because I used sequences sometimes as primary key.
My question go in direction to:
1. Did I something wrong with Data Pump Utility?
2. How is the correct way to export and import sequences that they keep their actual values?
3. When the behaviour described here is correct, how can I correct the values that start again from the last value that was used in the source database?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help concerning this topic!
Best regards
FireFighter
P.S.
It might be that my english sounds not perfect since it is not my native language. Sorry for that! ;-)
But I hope that someone can understand nevertheless. ;-)

My question go in direction to:
1. Did I something wrong with Data Pump Utility?I do not think so. But may be with the existing schema :-(
2. How is the correct way to export and import
sequences that they keep their actual values?If the Sequences exist in the target before the import, oracle does not drop and recreate it. So you need to ensure that the sequences do not already exist in the target or the existing ones are dropped before the import.
3. When the behaviour described here is correct, how
can I correct the values that start again from the
last value that was used in the source database?You can either refresh with the import after the above correction or drop and manually recreate the sequences to START WITH the NEXT VALUE of the source sequences.
The easier way is to generate a script from the source if you know how to do it

Problem exporting from large sequences

I'm reposting here becase it could be hardware related (the system is new), and because it wasn't answered on the CS5 forum and quickly got buried beneath 100 other threads. There's usually more in-depth support on this forum. Here goes:
I'm running CS5 5.02 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with an X58A-UD3R mobo, i7 930, 12 GB RAM, and a GTX 470. The footage is 4:3 NTSC DV, 29.97fps, 720x480. The sequence is DV NTSC Standard 48 kHz. OS on C drive, media and project on E drive, exporting to F drive.
I often put 100 clips or sometimes even 1000 clips on a sequence.
When I go to File-->Export and start exporting video for a small work area (10 seconds or less), it brings up a dialogue box that says "Encoding Sequence 01" and doesn't make any progress for a painfully long time if there are many clips on the sequence. The more clips in the sequence, the longer it waits before exporting. If I isolate the same clip in another empty sequence and try to export the same small work area, it quickly exports the file. As I add and delete clips from a sequence, the problem waxes and wanes. When there's over 200-300 clips, I've never seen it export the video because it just sits there forever "encoding".
I've tried this with several export formats: mpeg2, h264, quicktime, etc., with the same results. Exporting a still JPEG will quickly work on the large sequence, but it is very slow to export video.
It's as if Premiere is trying to encode the entire sequence first even though I've told it to only encode the small work area. It still only exports the small work area I requested, not the entire sequence.
Can someone please try to replicate this a few hundred clips and/or give me advice?

Thanks for your replies, guys.
I'm under deadline but will try running PPBM5 on Tuesday and post back here to see if you have ideas.
There must be something wrong with my setup, because although the project runs smoothly, the exporting lags significantly even with 100 or 200 clips. Surely CS5 should be able to export quickly from sequences as small as that. I had no problem doing this with previous versions of Premiere Pro.
Can anyone try throwing 100-200 clips onto a sequence to see if it causes any lag before exporting a small work area?

How to import DPX sequence?

I am trying to import a short sequence of DPX files directly into the timeline. How do I multiple select a sequence? I can single click and drag but can't tell Color that what I am importing is a whole sequence. Is this even possible?

You can browse and import DPX sequences directly into Color. But if the sequences are numbered and not named, Color doesn't see them as sequences but as individual files
So files numbered 90000.dpx to 91334.dpx won't work.
Opening.90000.dpx to Opening.91334.dpx will show up as a 'clip' that you can import and drag into the timeline.

Export-import task sequences between UAT-PROD environments

Hi,
What 's your idea of exporting-importing task sequences between UAT-PRD SCCM 2012 servers
It would save me quite some time but I guess the files and folders, applications (if I would export them too) are kept somewhere in a general folder so that's not so neat ....

Hi,
You can export it without Content and the copy the content manually. If you have exactly the sam ename and disk layout on prod and uat there will be no editing required. Otherwise you need to change the package source for all packages referenced, this can
of coourse be scripted.
If you export it with the content the content will end upp in a structure based on the uniqie idea of the content.
Using a shared package source could be one solution as well.

Can I export in DPX format with a 29.97 framerate?

I have this footage (1080p 29.97) I've graded and I want to export in DPX with the same framerate, but whenever I try I get something different... I guess 24p. Trouble is I can't sync with sound in Premiere after that. It must be 29.97 ;

Change the frame rate. Click in the file with right button, in the contextual menu go to Modify>Interpret Footage..., and change the frame rate.

Why does our Final Cut Pro Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?

Why does our Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?
For example I can Batch Export 10 sequences one of which is called:
"899-006TL013 It's Not Your Fault 800-509-2875"
Then the output for some of the files are along the lines of:
"899-006TL013 It's No#61386E.mov"
I have seen this happen with 1-6 files or not at all... is it just dumb luck?
What is going on here and is there any way to avoid or remedy this issue?
We first thought having the render destination window open caused it but that was not the source.
Any ideas?

I've run into the same problem with FCP 7.0.2 when exporting from the sequence using File --> Export --> QuickTime Movie. I exported a file today called "BSP - 01 - How You Can Be Sure You Are A Christian" and it came out as this "BSP - 01 - How You Can#1630". This is getting to be annoying. I also need to name these files the length they are. I'm hoping someone may see this and have a suggestion (besides shortening the file name). It seems like I've also seen this on shorter file names, but at the moment I can't prove it.
