Exporting HD video to the highest quality file

Sorry if this has been covered but I cant find a setting that makes the quicktime file look as good as the video displayed in imovie. What is the best export to quicktime file setting?

Try Quicktime H.264, Best Quality (slider all the way to the right), current framerate current, other settings on Auto, size HD 1920x1080. Can't get much better than that.

  • Is microsoft avi the highest quality format to export an avi file in premiere pro cs4?

    Hello,
    I exported an avi file in premiere pro cs4 in media encoder using Microsoft avi format but the quality turned out poor on dvd, what's the highest quality format I can use?
    Please help
    Thanks
    Elio

    Elio,
    As has been stated, DV-AVI is not the format FOR a DVD-Video. However, it can be used (and often is) as a transport medium into a DVD authoring program, like Encore.
    Can you please outline your workflow from PrPro to the final DVD, and is it a DVD-Video (will contain MPEG-2 material in VOB "containers"), or a DVD-Data, that is then played on a computer with something like Windows Media Player, VLC, MediaPlayer Classic HC, etc.?
    Good luck, and please let us know exactly what you are doing, and the programs used.

    If it looks good on your tv it will look good at the cinema.
    The resolution will still be 720x480/576 if a dvd player is hooked up to the projector.

    Can we assume that your 1080p30 is an AVCHD.mp4 file or other?
    You manually or the project automatically should set the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
    (If your frame rate is really 30 instead of 29.97, then go with DSLR 1080p30 instead of DLSR 1080p30 @29.97)
    See the following link for setting the project preset manually
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
    For your export
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    Please let us know if you have further questions on this or need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Export in the highest quality

    I have made a very complex presentation in Keynote with all kinds of shadows, exact positionings of images, backgrounds, reflections etc. I have noticed that if I export from within Keynote to Powerpoint in order to share this presentation it looks like crap. Images fall off, shadows dissapear etc.
    In order to share this presentation in the highest quality I would like to do this in Pdf format and then create a fullscreen version in Acrobat pro. Any other suggestions when the highest quality of the slides are indispensable? I would like to give the viewer the same booth like experience as Keynote at the best quality.
    Thanks

    Fernando-
    I'm currently, desperately trying to get my polished Keynote presentation exported as a QuickTime movie, and although the process completes and is successful the sound on the first 2 slides of my slideshow will not play in QuickTime. As a test I moved the first 2 slides to the back and sure enough, the same problem still exists (meaning it wasn't just the audio in those first 2 slides).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

  • How do I create the highest quality dvd of an iphoto slideshow?

    I have created a large (550 photos) slideshow in iphoto using one of the iphoto templates and added music to the slideshow.  The photos are high quality/large file size photos.  I would like to then combine the iphoto slideshow with an imovie trailer.  When I have gone through through the process of exporting the slideshow out of iphoto and into imovie and then burning a disk with idvd, the quality of the dvd is poor.  I am using the latest versions of iphoto, imovie, and idvd.  I would appreciate any advice on how to produce the highest quality dvd from the slideshow as it is part of a gift recapping a trip.

    Here's one approach: First crop the photos to the iDVD size ratio, 4:3.  Export the movie out of iPhoto via the Export button and select Size = Medium or Large.  Remember DVD video format is standard definition only.  All media gets reduced to 640 x 480 before burning to disk.
    Don't add it to iMovie as that just adds another layer of compresson/encoding to it.
    In iMovie create the trailer and use the Share ➙ Media Browser option.  This produces a better file image than the Share ➙ iDVD option.
    In iDVD create a Slideshow and add the trailer from the Media/Movies pane and drag the iPhoto movie after it.
    Set transitions to None and slide duration to anything but Manual.  Do not add any audio.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If you find that the resulting movie/slideshow extends off the TV screen and looses some of the image you can set the iDVD/Slideshow preferences to Scale Photos to TV Safe Area. 
    That may add black areas to each side of the movie depending on the size ratio of the TV screen and aspect ratio set in the DVD player.
    NOTE: if you have access to a copy of iMovie 6 HD I suggest you use it for your slideshow from photos and the trailer.  It produces the best results with iDVD and allows far better audio control.  If you do have that version just drag the completed iMovie project file into iDVD to avoid another layer of encoding/compression.

  • 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.

  • Burning the highest quality in idvd 9

    Hi,
    When burning a disk at the highest quality available in idvd 9, what is the final output resolution? I'd like to get as close to 1080i as possible (knowing that I cannot burn HD without a HD burner and equivalent software). I am curious as to what idvd does to your video and stills. I've been creating HD movies in FCE (1280x720) and using idvd to create slideshows and then burning the project to dvd for playback on my HDTV. My images are HD 1280x720 tifs which I have been importing into idvd for a slideshow. On the final output I notice the images look soft, so was wondering what quality idvd is capable of.

    As stated above already iDvd is limited to standard definition. There are no workarounds that I am aware of within iDvd itself. You'll have to think outside of this app if your intention is to go high def and blu-ray or even high def on a standard dvd-r. Forget about playing it back on most macs since apple doesn't currently support Blu-ray playback through its own dvd player app. Your hands are tied unless you choose a third party or an alternate dvd player application to open the file. For example, Roxio's Toast Video Player can do this.

  • Remove duplicates, keeping highest quality file.

    I'm hoping someone can help me.  Through recovering and manually rebuilding my library, I end up with multiple duplicates of multiple files.  Maybe 15,000 duplicates out of about 37'000 files.  I'm looking for a way via Osx (maybe Automator) or an application to remove multiple duplicates while keeping the highest quality image. This could be either the highest resolution or the largest file size.  I've tried duplicate annihilation but that app does not have an option to accommodate this.  I giess its important to note that the identical files could look like this:
    Img-1234.  468kb
    Img-1243 2 824kb
    Img-1234 copy 2 1.4mb
    2012-12-12 1.4mb
    What I would want to achieve from these four copies of the  exact same picture is to flag all but one of the 1.4mb files as duplicates.
    Does anyone know of a way to do this other than manually?

    Have you looked at their web site to see if it does what you want?

  • Which DVD to iPod Method (for windows) has the highest quality?

    Hi everyone! This is the first thread I have started! *pats himself on back*...
    ...O.K. down to buisness...
    Does anyone know or tested which dvd to ipod conversion method is best? I have looked at most of the threads here about the conversion methods, and I was wondering which had the highest quality picture, quickest conversion time, and taks up the least memory. Feel free to post your opinions, but I feel tested responces are more helpful. Thx for your time...

    'dvd decrypter' is phenominal. all it essentially does is takes the '.vob. file off the dvd. it takes up alot of space, but the quality is perfect. somewhere on videora.com there is a link... its free too. as for a converter, ive tryed most of them, and totally preferred videora, onyl because it converts any type of file.

  • Choosing to play highest quality file - can you see how?

    I can't figure out how to do this using smart playlists, even nested ones. Perhaps the brain trust can help me figure this out.
    I have a large library in which I have some songs encoded as both Apple Lossless and AAC. Other tracks are AAC only, and still others are MP3. Occasionally there are songs that are both AAC and MP3.
    I'd like to have a playlist that contained only the highest quality version of each song. So if there is an Apple Lossless version and an AAC version, only the Apple Lossless version would be in the list.
    I have made a smart playlist that contains all the Apple Lossless files, but I can't figure out how to filter out all the AAC versions, while still leaving in the AAC only songs.
    It would seem that you have to be able to compare each song which you can't do with the smart playlist logic.
    Thanks for any thoughts.
    Jordan

    Use the 'Less Than' or 'Is In the Range' then select relevant values. So for instance if you selected 'Is In the Range' and entered 128 - 320 the playlist will fill with all the files that fall in that range. Which will not include any Apple Lossless files. This will not sort out any MP3's though. I don't know how you can differentiate between MP3's and AAC. Unless all your AAC's are a higher bit rate than your MP3's?

  • Printing to DVD at the highest quality possible

    Hello out there. I have a question. I'm currently editing a project that was shot on 35mm film telecined full frame (4:3) to DigiBeta and down converted to DVCAM. Durning post we added a 1.85 matte (as he footage was originally composed for 1.85). My main concern is to output this footage at the highest quality possible. (Is FCP's Compression a good tool for this) Also I was wondering if anyone had a link to a discussion where I could find out how to burn a dvd with no menu that continuously loops. I'm currently using the FCP Production Suite with DVD S Studio Pro 4. Thanks
    Erv

    If you do a search you can find discussions on both of these topics as they have been discussed over and over, especially the compression one.
