I am exporting so i can give to master engineer. how do i do it at highest quality? simply make sure compress is UNchecked? I had to reinstall everything on my comp so i lost my settings.
also, GB records at 44,100 kHz, 16 bit, right?
thanks

make sure compress is UNchecked?
yes
GB records at 44,100 kHz, 16 bit,
44.1k, yes.
16-bit or optionally 24-bit if you set that preference before recording.

Exporting at HIGHEST quality - iTunes IMPORTING preferences?

Does the iTUNES IMPORTING preferences matter? I am exporting UNcompressed so I can give songs to a Master Engineer. What should my itune settings be at?
or should i share another way?
Thank you!

Yes - If you're delivering a mix to a mastering engineer, do not share to iTunes! Export to Disk instead.
Generally, when you deliver something to a mastering engineer, you want it to be as unprocessed as possible. iTunes is a fantastic consumer-oriented playback application. But for sending audio in and out of iTunes on its way to a mastering engineer, it’s Hogwarts - full of mysterious nooks and crannies that could inadvertently transform your audio without you realizing it. Plus, it's completely unnecessary and avoidable.
So to take steps to ensure the highest (and most unadulterated) quality possible, first turn off auto normalize in GB’s advanced preferences, if you haven't already done so.
Then, if you've chosen any presets for your Master Track, remove them (adding these kind of finalizing effects is exactly what the mastering engineer does; the presets in Garageband are a quick and easy alternative, but you have the real thing).
Finally, under the Share Menu, choose Export Song to Disk. And, of course, don't compress.

Exporting the highest quality version from Aperture

Trying to export photos to a printer website, but the file size is very small - 1.3mb vs 24mb of the master. I have the presets to Original JPEG and have turned up the image quality to 12. Nothing is helping.

I would check the JPEG - Original Size preset to make sure the settings for that preset weren't changed. If you choose File > Export > Verision, then under Export Preset choose Edit and see what the settings are for JPEG - Original Size.
Hope that helps.

Exporting To Highest Quality for DVD

Hi, I'm preparing to send a 12-minute short documentary that I shot on a GL2 to a film festival, and they need to receive it on a DVD. What is the best quality format to export it to (without Compressor)? H.264 as a .mov file? I exported it to .mov file using mp4 compression, but the quality was not nearly as good as I would have liked, but if there's a way to export to a "DVD-quality" image without spending hours exporting H.246, I'll be happy. Thanks.
Intel MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2GB RAM, 2.16GHz CPU

Are they going to play the H.264 file (sending it as a data DVD) or are they going to play it as a video DVD?
If the latter, h.264 has nothing to do with the process.
Export your file from FCP to compressor. Select 60 min best quality and import those files (m2v + ac3) into DVDSP to create the disk.

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
Does it play in your Mac?
What brand of disks are you using?

Why does the highest quality ('Display') resolution vary from exporting one slideshow to the next?

When exporting a slideshow from iPhoto I'm selecting the highest quality (Display). I noticed that resolution setting (Display) varies depending on which slide show I want to export (i.e. 1000 x 800, or 1420 x 800). Why?

Please help with highest quality export settings...

I have searched the forum and web for hours (no joke!) and I am still trying to figure out what are the best video settings to give me the highest HD quality video in daylight. I am using a Canon HF200 and the latest updated version of FCE. My problem is that I am unable to produce an HD quality video at 1920 x 1080 Full HD without being "jagged". I have two questions; what do you suggest to be the best FCE import and export settings to produce the best HD video, and what settings do you have your HF200 set to (for normal daylight conditions), to produce the best HD video file? The file will be played directly thru my computer to a plasma HDTV.
I have tried several settings, but using anything above 1280x720 16:9, makes the video "jagged". Again, I don't care about the size of the file or how long it takes, I just want the best. Is there something I am missing?
My FCP settings are the following:
I log and transfer the video from the camera into FCP (on a black MacBook; 2.16 GHz with 4 GB RAM) using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i source. I then export the video using the following:
Export using "Quicktime Conversion".
Quicktime options video settings are:
Frame Rate set to "Current"
Key Frames set to every "24" frames
Compressor quality: "best" (Encoding set to "best quality")
Data Rate set to "automatic"
Quicktime options video size are:
"HD 1280 x 720 16:9" (anything higher produces the jags!)
Deinterlace source video is NOT checked
My Canon HF 200 settings are the following:
- P mode
- FXP (17 Mbps)
- 60i framerate
all others are set to the normal default
I have read some reports saying the above is good and others suggesting changing FXP to MXP (24 Mbps) and/or the framerate from 60i to PF30. I don't care about the size of the file, I just want the highest quality HD file.
Any suggestions for the best FCE settings and/or HF200 settings would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for your help,
Evan

Thanks again for the feedback
Let me try my best to answer the above (I'm new at all this and I appreciate you guys taking the time to try and help me out).
First off, I tried rendering and that did not help.
Here is my sequence. I am not going into FCE from the camera directly. I have archived the video file from the camera using iMovie (as well as just making an exact copy of the camera files; they both appear to me to be the exact same, both can be logged and transferred into FCE, and both files give me a jagged FCE result).
Once I log and transfer the file(s), I then take the clip and add it to a sequence file (rendering or not rendering the clip(s) at this point does not make a difference), and then click/highlight the sequence file in the browser and export it.
As for "editing the video in a 1920x1080i60 sequence", I think I am. I am not doing any editing to the clip. It is logged and transferred using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i and then exported using either as a Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion (set for 1920 x 1080 using H.264 compression; both ways still result in a jagged video).
That's about it...log and transfer, add clip to sequence, and then export sequence...
I hope this answers the above, but if not, I apologize; I'm still learning!
Also, if I use iMovie, with similar export (share) settings, I get a non-jagged video (I have tried with deinterlacing and not deinterlacing, and both video results are fine)
Thanks again,
Evan

Exporting Final Cut timeline in highest quality Quicktime (self-contained)

Hi, I am wondering if you can help me. I just finished editing a film in HDV, 24P in Final Cut Studio 2 and need to export it as a stand alone quicktime file to take it to the color correction people and then for downressing in order to write to DigiBeta tapes.
My question is, do I simply export to Quicktime movie self-contained file using default (current) setting? I also see there are options such as Applre ProRes422 HQ, uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. From what I've heard uncompressed 8 and 10 bit and also apple ProRes422 are higher qualities? Am I wrong?
But going to Uncompressed 8bit or even to Apple ProRes won't make a difference since I only have HDV quality and that's the highest quality I can get anyway?
Please advise.
Thank you

Exporting a self contained QT Movie, and not recompressing will get you an HDV file that is full quality. But unless the facility you are going to has FCP on the machine they load this, they won't be able to see it. Same with ProRes...which would be the better choice for color correcting (10-bit, I-Frame format instead of GOP). ProRes and HDV (and DVCPRO HD) are codecs that only come with FCP, and any computer, even a mac, that doesn't have FCP installed cannot even view those file formats.

Highest Quality HD Export Setting

Hi again. I've finished a project and want to export it in the absolute HIGHEST quality available, using Compressor. Could somebody tell me what codec that is? By the way, I am going to be presenting this film on a profession 36 foot screen, so I want the best quality for a large screen. File size is NOT an issue. Please note that I will be using DVD Studio Pro to put it on DVD, so I will also need a codec that is compatible with DVDSP.
Thanks!

You're going to have to export 2 different files, one for projection and one for dvdsp. For projection I'd recommend an mpeg2program stream. This will maintain your pixel dimensions and frame rate and produce a great looking file. I've delivered this format for use in professionally projected venues and it plays smoothly off servers designed for this. It will usually play just fine on my dual2.5gig G5 and my macbookpro laptop. However, you will need to test it on the equipment that it will be shown with.
As for SD dvd, just use the appropriate preset in compressor for DVD.

Highest quality export

whats the highest quality export for dvd. I have a client who wants to watch it on computer, tv and projection with best quality.
Also, is a video_TS file better quality than a fcp quicktime mov file?

To get the highest quality export for DVD, you will need to buy Compressor 4 and create your own preset -- you will need to calculate the max bps based on the amount of video and the size of the DVD (SL vs DL).
Video_TS isn't a file, it is a folder and part of the structure of the DVD. DVDs use mpeg2, which is highly compressed and there will be a maximum level of quality you can get based on the length of the video.
A quicktime mov file by itself can contain most any codec, and thus any level of quality. But generally speaking, it is meant for viewing on computers, unless you have a streaming solution with something to decode it for the TV.
If your original source is HD, you could consider outputting to blu-ray.

Is "export frame" the highest quality?

Hi. Sometimes I want to have a video clip freeze. That is to say, the final product will have two or more frames that are identical, taken from a single frame of a movie clip.
The way I've been doing this is using the Source or Program monitor to find the relevant frame, export it, and re-import it as a still. Yet, it occurs to me that when watching videos in the Source or Program monitors, I am not watching the video at its highest quality. When I finally render my product, I will render it at highest quality. Does this cause a mis-match between the exported frame and my final product?
When I "export frame", does Premiere take the time to render that frame at best possible quality? Or am I just getting a preview-quality frame?
Richard

The exported/frame grabbed frame will be full quality. The lowered quality is for preview purposes only from within Premiere itself. As long as you don't select .jpeg and stick with a lossless image format when you do a frame grab from within Premiere it will be full quality.

Universal Highest Quality Export Option?

I am looking for a universal export option on my iMovie HD movies and iPhoto slide shows. It needs to be the highest quality that Apple TV can take while also being compatible with my iPhone. I've tried the "To AppleTV" option but that one is not compatible with the iPhone. I only want to encode once and not keep two or three different formats of my projects. TV shows and movies I get from the iTunes store are great quality on my TV and also sync to my iPhone. Why can I not accomplish the same? What am I missing? Please help.

Can't be done. You'll want to have two exports.
The iPhone doesn't have any "HD" options and the Apple TV does (720).
Some (most HD versions) you buy at the iTunes Store actually download two different files (one smaller version for the iPhone and iPod). The smaller version is the one that can sync to the iPhone.
Look here for some clues:

Highest Quality Export - 720p

Hello all,
I am somewhat new to Adobe Premiere and definitely new to CS5. I have some uncompressed source footage that is recorded at 720p using the FRAPS codec (I recorded it from some PC games). When this source footage is played back, it looks exactly as it the game did when I was playing it. There is no loss in quality whatsoever.
So I import my FRAPS captured videos in Adobe Premiere, do some editing, adjust / add sound tracks. Now I'm ready to export. I cannot for the life of me get the exported quality to come even close to what my source footage looks like.
I have tried several settings, but most recently I've used:
H.264 720p 29.97 High Quality.
NTSC
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Aspect Ratio 16:9
Level 3.2
Checked the box for "Render at maximum depth"
Checked the box for "Maximum Render Quality"
Bitrate: VBR - 2 Pass
Target and Max bitrate 20mbps
My 7 minutes of source video is about 10gb of raw footage. After this exporting it is barely over 1gb. What am I doing wrong? I have an EXTREMELY beefy computer so encoding time isn't an issue. I just want the highest quality video I can get. I can't even read the text from the game.
Thanks for your help.

Does exporting "current" provide highest quality/size jpegs?

What are the default settings of the "current" option in exporting photos from iPhoto? Is it the same as choosing jpeg at highest possible quality, best resolution, etc.? I would like to export my photos in iPhoto to an external drive and would like to preserve the highest quality jpeg size/format as originally imported into iPhoto from my camera. I understand that exporting as "original" would do this. However, I have created duplicates of photos and cropped them, and would like to preserve the cropping upon export. Exporting these cropped photos as "original" removes the cropping. Does exporting as "current" export the fullest size and highest quality jpeg possible (for the smaller/cropped image)?
Thanks for advance for any clarification on this.

Export a JPEG and set the quality setting to the highest value

Best settings for highest quality for exporting a .mov file to h.264

Hi,
I want to know what the best settings are for the highest quality for exporting a .mov file (720p50) to h.264. I want the same quality as the original.
I want to know the data rate etc.
regards,
Jeroen
Message was edited by: Woudgraaf-AV

There is no way to get the exact same quality when transcoding from an editing source to a highly compressed H.264 QT. However, you can get a real high quality by adjusting the data rate.
However, these things depend on the length of the original. I routinely encode H.264s with good results in the 3000-5000 data rate range. I also make sure that I use multiple pass encoding. Take a short snippet of your project (10 seconds or so), and try various bit rates until you have one you like that doesn't take forever.
