Final Output - manage my expections

I'm new to FCP and I'm about ready to export my first project for DVD authoring. I realize that the authoring process will require some trial and error. However, for right now, I just want realistic expections about the resolution quality of my final output. I recognize that a DVD version of my project could never look as sharp as the Canvas. However, is there any reason to believe that the final product can look better than it currently does on my external monitor (a 14" television set)??

You recognize that viewing highly compressed DVD footage won't look as good in the Viewer as the original un or less compressed original footage ... but you don't see how that correlates to when you're viewing on an external TV??
To answer your question; no. DVD-Video is highly compressed and therefore suffers a quality loos when compared to the original. But like anything else, DVD-Video is GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). The better quality your source footage is, the better the quality it will be after compression.

How to enable standard actions and print preview in Output management in FU and FO in SAP TM9.1

Hello Experts,
This is regarding the Output management on Truck load scenario.
I have maintained configuration which is related to output management in Freight order type (truck load).
Configuration is :
Output profile : " /SCMTMS/TOR" and
Add. Output Profile “ /SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD”.
Results: I have created a Freight order based on the FU ( Sales order ) , go to output management tab in FO, I can see only one Action status that is “Shipping Instruction” .
Expectations: I am expecting couple of other FORMs like HBL and label and etc which is available in “/SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD”.
/SCMTMS/PRINT_AIRPORT_TRANSFER Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_CMR Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_CMR_MAN Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_DELIVERY_ORDER Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_FFI Shipping Instruction
/SCMTMS/PRINT_FFI_MAN Shipping Instruction
/SCMTMS/PRINT_LAB Label for Packaging
/SCMTMS/PRINT_LAB_MAN Label for Packaging
/SCMTMS/PRINT_MAN Shipping Manifest
/SCMTMS/PRINT_MAN_MAN Shipping Manifest
/SCMTMS/PRINT_PICKUP_ORDER Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_TRUCK_MANIFEST Road Waybill (Europe)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_VICS Road Waybill (U.S.)
/SCMTMS/PRINT_VICS_MAN Road Waybill (U.S.)
Also, When I am executing “List of Actions” by manually I can see all of above actions in popup screen but by default “scheduled condition” check box is checked on “Shipping Instruction” not rest of them.
Would you please guide me what I am missing?
Thank you very much.

Dear Surender,
For PPF customizing you can follow SPRO path -> Cross application components ->Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications->Reusable Objects and Functions for BOPF Environment ->PPF Adapter for Output Management->Maintain PPF Settings -> Select the application '/SCMTMS/TRANSPORTATION' -> Define action profiles and Actions.
Select the required action profile (Here in your case /SCMTMS/TOR or /SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD)-> select the required action definitions -> Make sure 'Inactive' checkbox is deselected against the required action -> Choose processing types -> Here you can assign a new form. You can also create new action definitions and assign forms accordingly.
Then go back and go to 'Condition configuration' ->Choose the required action profile -> Check the Start condition and schedule condition. Make sure you have 'Schedule automatically' radio button selected under overview tab.
Print preview is also called as Document preview. To my knowledge this tab should be displayed default with standard under Output Management tab. Document preview will appear upon selecting the action in Output management tab. If not appearing just check the WD component customizing or personalization.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Link below to PPF and Output Management in SAP TM document would help you.

Final output of Final Cut Express HD 3.5 is blurry and out of focus.

Using clear/sharp '.mov' files as clips. Doing simple editing, nothing fancy. When I finally output the project using 'Export/Using QuickTime Conversion,' the final is blurry and out of focus. I've tried every compression type (H264, Animation, etc.). Same problem. Anyone know why this is happening?
Although the specs for my computer are well within the Final Cut Express guidelines (I've even upgraded my graphics card to a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB), I'm still thinking that perhaps the G4 I'm using doesn't have enough juice to run the FCE software. By the way, I don't have any other programs active when using FCE. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
Here's what I'm (trying) to do:
I'm creating short 5 minute tutorial movies that will be distributed as QuickTime movies (burned to disk) for short run distribution (college).
Here's the process: the movie itself is a recording of monitor screen actions recorded (audio and video) using Snapz Pro movie mode. The recorded size is 800 x 600. There might be 5 such 1 or 2 minute clips. The quality is excellent. I bring them in to FCE, drop all the clips on the same track, and add simple transitions. That's it.
Now I need to somehow get a final QuickTime movie, with close to the same quality I had in the clips.
So... I take the FCE file, output it using 'Export>QuickTime Conversion,' using the same size I originally recorded in, 800 x 600. Tried every codec available. Every time, the end result is a very blurred version of the original Snapz Pro recordings.
I've even tried outputting the FCE file as 'Export>QuickTime Move' (not using the conversion method). Opened that up in QuickTime Pro with the same result: blurred and out of focus.
I'm viewing the exported file in QuickTime Pro, with the 'Movie Properties' setting of 'High Quality.'
Any clue? This is driving me crazy. But I'm determined to get this right.

Is the canvas something like "the final output"? Or is that the viewer?

I am making a video of my HD footage i shot with my Full HD Camcorder (Sony HDR-SR12).
When i go through te timeline and play something, it shows fully in my viewer, but in the canvas i get only a selection of the full image (it seems that it is zoomed in)... So, my question is, do i have to "make the video smaller" by choosing image+wireframe in the canvas? Because i am afraid that when i output on to a DVD, i will also get the zoomed-in video? Or is the Viewer the "final output?"... I am getting crazy, because i can't let two or more clips play after eachother in the Viewer, right?
Also, what is the best way to output my full HD footage? (without loosing to much quality) Just click "Export -> Quicktime Movie"? Wil quicktime not lose the HD? Thanx...

The canvas always displays the final result and quality of your editing in the current sequence in the timeline; the viewer is just a way to monitor single clips (not the composition of clips as in the canvas) and displays the quality of the clip usually before you edit it into the timeline.
This is important, because if (for example) your sequence (in the timeline) is a standard DV while your captured clips are HD, when you look at a clip in the viewer opened from the browser, you watch it at +HD quality+, when you drag (edit) the same clip into the timeline it is down-converted to the +DV lower quality+; and this is what you see in the canvas. Instead if you open a clip from the timeline (not browser) in the viewer, you see the exact same quality as in the canvas, but only for that single clip. So the best way is to always check quality in the canvas, since it shows the result of all your editing, conversions, and composition, as it will show up in the exported movie.
Now, to really verify the result in the canvas you must also make sure to:
- use Fit to Window (from the small zoom button on top of the canvas window) when you want see the full frame and its composition, but not the final quality
- instead use 100% (same button) to see the final quality for HD
- or even better connect the firewire output to an HDTV through a HDV deck (or camcorder) for HD, or to a standard TV through a D/A converter (or camcorder) for standard DV. The advantage of this solution is that you see the final result on the final output device while editing, without having to burn DVDs to check it (and this is almost mandatory when you import images and want to have control over interlacing artifacts).
When you export to iDVD you always use Export/Quicktime Movie even if you burn the DVD on different Mac; if the burner is on the same Mac you can uncheck the Make Movie Self-Contained option, so the file will be smaller and the export faster; otherwise you leave that option checked, and the file will contain all video and audio media necessary for burning (but the file much larger, and export much longer).
One more note: the Image+Wireframe option in the 2nd small button on top of the canvas (or also viewer) window allows you to apply changes to the frame size and position directly in the canvas without using the Basic Motion control of the viewer; in any case, whatever change you apply and you see in the canvas will be reflected also to the exported movie.
My guess in your case is that you are using a wrong (standard DV) setup for your sequence even if you captured HD, and that probably you zoomed in too much so that both the canvas and the exported movie show a small portion of the original frame.
I hope this helps a bit

Speedgrade CS6 won't apply my Look in the final output

So I have this problem where I try to output a quick color graded version of my source footage, but the final output shows no difference. In other words, I import DSLR footage, make all the necessary adjustments (in this case I just applied a look that I saved previously) in SG then render it out as a ProRes 422. The ProRes version looks the same as my source (DSLR) footage (minus a few megabytes) and doesn't look as if my saved look was ever applied.
My Output settings are as follows: (NOTE: I have changed all of my output settings trying to solve this problem and, no dice. So I can only assume that it's not a problem with my output settings)
Output:
Format & Options = Apple ProRes 422. Automatic color calibration = Unchecked. Write ALE file to output path = Unchecked. Render annotations = Checked
Use the same burn-in as playback, No calibration lookup table, Time code source = Source
Framing:
Full Image (No Proxy). 1:1 (square). 1080p
Render
Offline Quality (fast).
My system specs are:
Mac Pro OS X 10.10.1 (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
Hop I provided enough info.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

With your theory in mind of it being a permissions problem, I went ahead and moved my Looks from an external drive to my computer. Still no dice. Although, do you believe that it might need to be in a particular place on my computer? Like say, a SpeedGrade folder inside and Adobe folder inside my library folder? I don't see why that would matter. I found a rather time consuming fix. If I open the Look in After Effects, I can apply it to the video clip but that's just a little convoluted.
I'll keep searching for a solution and post any updates. Thanks for your help thus far!

HD to SD final output question

Hello Forum,
I have just completed Jeff Bellune’s excellent HD to SD tutorial called “hd2sd - High Quality Scaling From HD to SD”. For weeks I have been trying in vain to downscale my 1920 x1080i AVI-8bit YUV HD footage for output to PAL DVD without much luck, resulting in terrible output quality, but for anyone experiencing the same problem I would like to let you know that the quality of the conversion with Jeff's method is absolutely amazing. http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php Thanks for the post Jeff you are a star!
But I have one small problem. In the final process when using VirtualDub to open your AviSynth script file and then saving it out to a Lagarith AVI file.
The process works as described with great results however the final output file is exported at an output size of 720x576 - 1.250 (5:4) aspect ratio. (Size data extracted from GSpot) The problem is when I import this into Encore the footage does not fill the whole screen.
My to the forum question is does anyone know how I can change the output file size in VirtualDub to a (16.9) aspect ratio so that when imported into Encore the footage takes up the whole screen in a (16:9) widescreen format.
Can VirtualDub be used to do this and if so does anyone know the exact settings to be used?
Any assistance with this will help me greatly.
Thanks in advance.
Rex.

Thank you Jeff
You are a brilliant person, thank you very much as you solved my long standing and draining problem in one answer!
The output result is second to none as a matter of fact I can’t even tell the difference from the original footage!
Everything is fine now but while the Big man himself is about I wonder if you could possibly answer these 3 questions?
1) I am using Premiere CS5.5, Should I have used the Maximum render quality setting when exporting my MPEG2 file from premiere (this wasn’t mentioned in the CS4 tutorial)
2).My original source footage used in my test project is 1920 X1080i (1.0) 50Hz Pal - and I have exported 3 versions, one Lower field first, one upper field first and one Progressive no fields. Using the Interpret Footage techniques from your advice I created 3 separate Encore projects in each field setting the thing is I can’t tell the difference between them in my test DVDs. (Q. which field setting do you recommend me use for my final project output to Pal DVD (Note Encore Pal Project settings make reference to Lower field first).
2) Could I re-import the exported VirtualDub avi file back into premiere. Then edit my project adding effects and titles and when the project is complete export the finished project into Encore either by uncompressed AVI or MPEG2-DVD?. If this is possible will I lose much quality on export? And would you know how I could Interpret the Footage to PAL Widescreen (1.4587).in premiere? (I ask this as it would be much easier to edit with these smaller files as my original files are very resource consuming)
Again I would be most grateful if you have some advice on these questions as I am a newbie to HD editing but embracing the challenge.
Thanks again.
Rex.

Export quality poor on final output

I'm working on a macbook pro using iLife09.
I've edited everything in FCE 4 and the final output after burning in idvd has 3 movies on it and one of them, about halfway through, continues to have a very pixelated section lasting about 1 minute. it plays choppy and blurry.
in fce 4 I exported>quicktime movie. I've tried making it self contained and not self contained. Same results on both. I use verbatim dvd-R, burn at slowest possible speed, and at professional quality. I've repaired disk permissions, deleted idvd prefs, and saved as "disk image." the results are the same on the disk image. I think this means it is an encoding/burning problem.
All my audio has been converted to .aiff and is 44.1 KHz.
is this an export issue within FCE 4? what other options should I try?

thanks for your quick response. I've been working on it ever since.
the exported QT movie does not display the pixellation.
I switched it to Best Performance as opposed to Professional Quality, but this didn't solve the problem. It seems that the content was too close to filling up the capacity of the dvd. once I shortened the content, the problem went away.
thanks for the suggestions, this gives me other options when other things go wrong in the future.

Data Mismatch in the final output

Hi,
I am using the eclipse version downloaded from here
http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/eclipse/datasave.asp
In the final output, data seems to be corrupted.
Example
Column A
3500
9852
7533
Sum 35.4
The sum value reflects the right value, where as the value in column A is displayed from a different page.
In short the Column A values are randomly swapped between pages.
I tested the same report with Visual Studio with the same parameters. It works fine.
Can some one please provide me a direction.
Thanks
Raman

For your questions,
1. I have this problem when previewing report in the crystal report viewer. This is not specific to exporting to a third party format, Previewing and even exporting to PDF results in same incorrect output.
2. I tried exporting it to RPT format and its resulting in exception, See below the exception stack.

Keep Time Codes in Final Output?

For various reasons I won't bore you with here, I want to show the time codes in my final output. I have them (audio and video) on the canvas, and it's exactly what I need, but I can't seem to permanently keep them with my video. They disappear when I play or export the video. Does anyone know of a way to keep the time codes on the screen somehow for final output? I'm using FCP 6.02 and my video is HD1080i50 if that helps.

Oops....never mind. I found the answer to this in another post on this forum. Missed it the first time I searched.
Sorry.......

When I apply a plug in compressor on the final output track I get a click

1/I am applying a compressor on to a particular point of the track (in the final output track) and naturally all tracks go louder.. however my problem is at that point where the compressor switches on from its previous bypass status, I get a click. this is a problem I always have when suddenly I introduce a 'serious' plug into the final mix... your suggestions will be very welcome
2/ While my output never goes over 2.0 below the threshold 0.0 some times the final mix gives me much unwanted buzz in the speakers which must come from individual samples - probably samples that cant take that sort of compression- is there a standard way or a more conventional approach to compress the final mix so you get the loudness of everything still without buzz... a particular logic setting that seems to work for many cases perhaps with instrumental and orchestral work?
3/ would you compress track by track first and go through everything in this laborious way or just experiment on the final output track is equally the same?
I ll be grateful for any valuable advise..

Gosh, that was quick! Or perhaps you were just way ahead of me…
1 • This may not be the answer if it really is happening with many plug-ins, but you can get a click when a compressor cuts in if the attack setting is too short. And if the mix is getting louder at that point, you might consider turning down the gain on the compressor.
2 • If you're compressing a whole mix, then individual samples are not going to be "unable to take it". Check for the buzz with the speaker volume turned right down, or in headphones, or examine the final stereo mix audio file to look for clipping… because it may just be the speakers. If it's still definitely there, you need to find the source of the distortion, & the best way is to eliminate possible sources one at a time. Compression wouldn't be my preferred suspect, unless you have the gain cranked up. Which in light of the above, perhaps you have!
3 • Compression on the whole mix should be as effective as on individual tracks, but this is assuming you have already taken care to ensure your tracks are in a fit state. Compression introduces noise (can't be helped!), & in a mix it may be hard to hear just where that pesky noise is coming from… whereas if you check out individual tracks you may suddenly realise that by compressing that guitar you have made the amp hum REALLY LOUD when the guitar isn't actually playing. Time for a Noise Gate on that track!

Hi All,
I am using BIP version:10.1.3.4.1
I have BIP publisher which is a group by report
Group1

it1 d1
it2 d2
Can I not to display the Group1 field in the final output(but the field should be present in the .rtf file).
Thanks in advance
Regards,

Sorry for the confusion.
I have generating the report on the basis of Group1 field.
in the RTF file I have code for
Group1 <?VENDOR?>
F <?for-each:current-group()?>
I want to keep the Group1 the rtf file but do want not want to display in the output file.
Is there any setting for the item where we can hide the item from the final output but the item will be present in the rtf file.
Thanks & Regards

Shooting 24P Need final output to be XDCAM 1440x1080i60

I will be cutting spots shot at 24P and some variable High Speed frame rate footage. My final output needs to be 1440x1080i XDCAM format. What is the best sequence settings to work with? Does the footage need to be converted before cutting or should I cut to the native forma shot and conform it after finals are approved?

If it's shot at 24p without pulldown (what's your original format?) then cut at 24p and add pulldown to the final masters. I don't know if there's any way to add pulldown to a file using FCS. I always use AE or output to tape. Conforming 24p to 60i using Cinema Tools is definitely not what you want to do.

Importing Illustrator files into AE CS6 render lo-res in final output video

Everything imports, loads, plays and renders from Illustrator into AfterEffects CS6. When I render the final video, the AI files are appearing lo-res in the HD video (1280x720).
Do I have a lo-res output setting turned on?

What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update).
    CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    No, but I don't think this has anything to do with an update.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Mac OS X 10.8
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
     Adobe Illustrator CS6 file
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
     No errors
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
     The AI file is not rendering hi-res
Has this ever worked before?
     No
What other software are you running?
    Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    No
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
   Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 2.5 GHz duo-core Intel i5
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
     No
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
   No
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
     Preview and final output
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
     No
Screen shot of HD video. Graphic to right of (live action) actor is not rendering hi-res.

Final output on DVD

I have some shots in full HD 1920*1080 (shot in SONY PMW ex 1) and some in *. Mpeg ( shot in SONY HDV) . Which seq setting should I use and edit it if my final output was to come out on DVD. Or it doesn’t matter whatever sequence setting I used? Any help/advice?
Cheers
Danny

Edit in HD and export as MPEG2-DVD and use the 2 (audio and video) files in Encore
