Exporting 720 to 1080

Hi. I'd like to export a 720p file with a Component Y'CbCr 8-bit 4:2:2 codec as a 1080 prores Quicktime. What are the best export settings? Should I use  max render quality?

This what you are doing!  Cropping is not your issue. Scaling up ..is!

  • Upscaling 720 to 1080 and downscaling 1080 to 720

    Hi all...
    I'm editing a largely talking-heads documentary. We shot most of the interviews on a DSLR in 1080 24fps. I've been editing in a 720p ProResLT sequence, so that I can take advantage of the "extra" resolution by zooming in to 100% at times. (Also, the DSLR shots aren't the sharpest, so this way the softness is not as obvious.) I plan to master to 720p ProResLT.
    The issue however, is that when creating a DCP for some theatrical screenings, this exported 720 master is going to be scaled back up to 1080.
    So my question is, which is preferable with 1080 footage when I
    a) want to zoom in by 130% for closeups pretty often and
    b) when in some cases it will need to be delivered/projected at 1080:
    1) Edit in a 720 sequence so that the zoomed-in shots will not be scaled larger than 100%, export a 720p master, but then for the DCP scale that master back up to 1080. So in the DCP, shots that were originally 1080 at full quality, would now be 1080 up-rezed from 720 which was downrezed from the original 1080 footage.
    2) Edit in a 1080 sequence, the zoomed in closeup shots will be at 130% and thus not full quality, export the file for the DCP at 1080 from this sequence - and at least the non-zoomed-in shots would be at full quality, ie 100% and not larger. And then for the 720p Master (if there is a point in having one) I would either nest that 1080 sequence into a 720 timeline, or I would import the exported 1080 master file into a 720p timeline. But in the 720 export, the shots that I scaled up to 130% in the 1080 timeline will now have been scaled back down to 100%. I'm not sure if quality is lost going up and down like that, in either option 1 or 2.
    Also, is there a difference in quality between screening a 720 film where the projector upscales the image vs upscaling the image before exporting and exporting a 1080 version?
    Thanks!

    My two cents (worth exactly 2 cents)
    Continue editing as you have to take advantage of the reframing ability. I would probably change the final output to ProRes 422, but that is your call.
    When complete and you need to deliver a 1080 version, have the uprez done by hardware such as a Teranex:

  • New Apple TV starts as 720 not 1080?

    Hi
    I have just bought a new Apple TV directly from Apple.
    I am connecting to a Sony Bravia TV, but when connecting it reports resolution as 720, not 1080. I have tried a different cable, but no joy.
    I also have BT Vision through another AV channel and will switch ports / cables if I have to, but I am hoping you will tell me I am missing something simple :-) Please?

    Not what I was hoping to hear, but at least I know now!
    Thanks for your help

  • How to export 1920 X 1080 for wide screen viewing on DVD?

    I want to export 1920 X 1080 video so I can make a DVD and watch on a widescreen TV without stretching. What settings do I use? Tried several. Not working. I'm on a deadline and got to get this done right. Thanks for any help. Just looking for the export settings.

    If you are just making it for yourself, check to see if your DVD player supports any of the various HD on DVD(Divx, etc) technologies and go from there. If you are looking for a more universal solution to HD on DVDs, there is not one.

  • Tips for Exporting 1920 X 1080 HD for use in iDVD?

    I have a Canon HF20 and noticed that exporting from iMovie '08 using Share >Media Browser or Share > Export Movie limits you to 960 X 540. I used iDVD to create a DVD of the 960 X 540 movies and had good results, but I am wondering if the 960 X 540 ratio is truly HD? And would going to the 1920 X 1080 via Export Using Quicktime make a significant difference? I would like to try using Export Using Quicktime and then using iDVD to burn an HD DVD, but I am wondering if someone can tell me what the settings within the Options should be in terms of the following:
    Compression Type
    Frame Rate
    Compressor Quality
    Encoding
    Data Rate
    And then Under Export Size Settings
    Dimensions
    Preserve Aspect Ratio
    Deinterlace Source Video
    And any other settings that are going to help me achieve the best results for exporting 1920 X 1080 and burning to DVD via iDVD?

    Hi
    *Movie editors*
    • iMovie HD 6, iM'08 & 09 - might work to do the editing
    I prefere when reaching for pro-quality FinalCut but observ that Express only
    handles 25/50 and 29.97/60 fps.
    So if You are thinking 1920 x 1080 24 fps - ONLY as far as I know option is
    FinalCut Studio Pro. Which can do this !
    *DVD burning programs*
    • NO version of iDVD can handle HD yet - up till iDVD 09
    *Options are*
    • DVD Studio pro in FinalCut Studio Pro bundle (me guessing - but feeling safe)
    • Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl Blue-Ray component - Can do this

  • OT - Youtube in 720 or 1080?

    Does it make a difference if a video is uploaded to YouTube at 720 or 1080? Youtube is going to compress it anyways, just curious to hear what others think. I did a test video and wasn't able to see much difference, however, it could have just been that video. Are there other reasons/benefits to uploading in one size or the other?
    Thanks.

    Since YT changes at times, the best place to read is on their page

    Play this video at full screen and you will see the difference between 1080 and 720 videos on YouTube. Make shure you set the video to play at 1080.

  • 720 to 1080

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question.
    I have FCP X and film all my footage in 1080p.   I finished my project and uploaded it only to realize that the footage was downgraded to 720. 
    Does anyone know a quick way to just change the project I already pieced together from being 720 to 1080 so that I don't have to re edit anything?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Quickest: You can create a new projects with custom 1080 settings then copy the 720 timeline and paste it to the 1080 project TL.
    Of course, most of the time it's best to let FCP determine the project settings automatically determine the project settings from the first clip.

  • G5 Dual 2 GHz won't smoothly play 720 or 1080 HD Quicktime Trailers

    Dual Processor Power Mac G5 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM
    I could have sworn that my G5 used to be able to play all levels of HD movies smoothly as anything sometime during normal Tiger usage.
    Then one day, I noticed my G5 when on Tiger would stutter playing anything about 480.
    I thought the upgrade to Leopard would fix this. But just today I upgraded to 10.5.3 on this G5 (I used the upgrade option on the install DVD to upgrade from Tiger) and it STILL won't play HD trailers 720 or 1080 smoothly.
    is this supposed to be? Do I not have the minimum requirements to watch those kinds of resolutions anymore?
    I know this machine is 4 years old now, but seriously? That seems crazy to me.
    Does anyone else have this configuration and see similar or different behavior?
    thank you

    at least I finally hear of someone else w/ the same issue
    your machine should, in my opinion, completely be able to play HD quicktime movies.
    the funny thing for me is that once, I had 10.5.1 (or even 10.5.2) on a FW drive, and I COULD play them smoothly when booted from it
    and now that I have 10.5.3......I can't

  • Option to Export as 720 or 1080 is drained?

    Im editing HD clips in iMovie 11 but when I go to Share>Export Movie, the 720P or 1080P options are usually drained. Sometimes 720P is available. I know if I export as Quicktime I can get around this usually but I still dont know what is causing this. Framerate is 30FPS. The flm is from a GoPro.

    Thanks Steve - very helpful and much appreciated.
    I am trying to stream the final file to my television over DLNA.
    The TV accepts a number of formats, including those as follows:
    .avi (Divx3.11/4.x/5.1/6.0) 1920x1080
    .avi (XviD) 1920x1080
    .avi (H.264 BP/MP/HP) 1920x1080
    .avi (MPEG4 SP/ASP) 1920x1080
    .mpg (MPEG1) 1920x1080
    .mpg (MPEG2) 1920x1080
    .mpg (H.264) 1920x1080
    .mp4 (H.264 BP/MP/HP) 1920x1080
    .mp4 (MPEG4 SP/ASP) 1920x1080
    .mp4 (XVID) 1920x1080
    Plus an array of other formats for .mkv, .asf, .wmv, .3gp, .vro, .ts, .tp, .trp
    Whilst I could encode at 1920x1080, my Wi-Fi struggles a bit with this, so I will probably take it down to 1280x720.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.,
    Will certainly take a look at your book.  I bought the "Classroom In A Book" by Adobe when I got the software and am amazed at how little detail is in it.
    Thanks again

  • Quicktime Export 1920 x 1080

    Hi
    Using CS5 Master Collection.
    I am giving my finished output to someone who is doing color correction for me.  The source is 1920 x 1080, (1.9), 29.97 fps Progressive.
    They want a quicktime format.  Not an AVI.
    I am looking at the Export Settings for QuickTime and I only see 720 x 480, in various flavors.
    Certainly there must be a way in premiere to export to Quicktime 1920 x 1080????
    I assume there are plenty of threads here, but thought I'd start from scratch and get some recommended "best practices" for this issue.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Good day to you all.
    I'm having real problems exporting to Quicktime but I'm in the UK and obviously the format is PAL rather than NTSC, but I'm not sure if that affects the QuickTime settings.
    I'm using PPro CS5 and I have downloaded the AVID codecs, mentioned above, and I can see them in the Video Codec menu.
    My source file is:
    Format: .avi
    Frame rate: 25
    Duration: 5m 30s
    Size: 720 x 576 (1.4587)
    Audio: 48000Hz - 16 bit - stereo
    I want to output this to play on iPads, Macs, etc. in the UK. Which setting should I be using as I have gone around in ever decreasing circles and keep getting the "Error compiling movie", "Unable to create or open output file" dialogue.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Shoul I buy a 720 or 1080 LCD for my APPLE TV?

    I want to be able to run high res images from my iPhoto library slideshow to the LCD via the Apple TV. I see great prices at COSTCO on LCD's but their employees are not mac savvy.
    Can someone kindly advise if a 1080 HD LCD is overkill vs. a 720 HD LCD? I will use a HDMI cable to connect.
    Thanks for you advise in advance.

    I believe that the Apple TV is limited to only 720p output at this time. The device does offer settings for connection to both 720 and 1080p or i compatible TV sets. I would still recommend you go with the 1080p set because it is probably only a matter of time until the ATV offers 1080 resolutions. It also depends on the size of screen you are looking to purchase. If you are going to go with 36" or smaller then 720p will be fine. If you are looking at anything larger than 36" then I would go with the 1080p. On the smaller screens the human eye cannot tell the difference between 729 and 1080, but you can most certainly see the difference on the larger screens.

  • Import AVCHD and Export in Full 1080 HD

    Hello,
    I have a Sony AVCHD handycam that records to a memory stick. Up until now, I have been using iMovie 08 on my iMac Intel Core Duo, but I am limited to iMovie's 'Large' (960x540) setting for my export options. I have tried exporting using Quicktime (tried several different option settings), but for whatever reason I cannot get a good result...it produces jerky and unusable video. The 960x540 looks ok, but I am trying to preserve my original 1080 HD resolution.
    Would Final Cut Express be the answer, or does it use the same type of export settings as iMovie 08?
    Thanks,
    Kenton

    You're probably exporting to a format and data rate that's too high for your computer's capabilities. The exporting application will make no difference. If your drives aren't fast enough to sustain high definition material at a high data rate it's always going to look choppy when played back full screen.

  • AVCHD 1080/50i export to mpeg 1080/50i - video stutters

    when exporting the complete sequence to mpeg 1080/50i the resulting video stutters at 2 to 3 points. Thus I exported 3 parts of the sequence: no video stutters. Then I create a new sequence based on the resulting 3 videoclips, export the complete sequences and the exported video stutters again at some points.
