Flash to High Def Quicktime?

Is it possible to export a linear, non-scripted Flash movie
to a high definition Quicktime file? If so what is the proper
export procedure?
Thanks.

File - Export , or Publish Setting / Formats - QT
There is nothing else you can do beside the available export
option,
explore, isn't many there.

Creating high-definition Quicktime files

I have a project that was shot in P2. The footage is 720P (I *think.* I'm not as up on high-def as I should be. The files are 960x720 with an aspect ratio of 1.3333 at 23.976 FPS). The client has requested a high-definition Quicktime file that they want to play on their laptop, and not a blu-ray disc. What settings should I use in Media Encoder to accomplish this?
My best guess is to use the h.264 codec and manually set the bit rate to its maximum. However, if I set the Quicktime file output specs to match the specs of the P2 footage, it plays back too tall and not wide enough in my Quicktime player. Through experimentation, I found that if I set the output to 1280x720 with a pixel aspect ratio of "square pixel," it loks right when I play the file in my Quicktime player. But something tells me there is a better way.
So back to my original question - can Adobe media Encoder deliver a high-definition Quciktime file, and if so, how?

QT's treatment of PAR's is bordering on comical. I don't know if it can't or won't read PAR header data created by windows, but i've never had any luck displaying non-square pixel vision in QT.
You can set it manually in the bowels of QT to get a correct aspect ratio, but it aint easy.
I'm with Harm: go square pixel. You might get a little degredation (as you'll be leaving a pixel-for-pixel scenario), but it's better than the alternative.

FCP in High Def

Heyy
I am a college student studying media and production full-time, and I use Final cut pro in the house aswell.
I am interested in upgrading my old sony DV camcorder to a High Def one, but i have been searching google for about 2 weeks now and still can not find any HD Camcorders that work well with FCS3
any suggestion on which camera's are fully compatible with Final Cut Studio 3.

Tape is still king.
Days are numbered.
ALL of Sony and Canon's pro cameras sold today use miniDV format.
HA! Wow...where are you? MiniDV? ALL of the cameras use MiniDV? What about the Sony F900? That's a high end professional camera...that takes HDCAM tapes. What about the Sony EX1 or EX3...there is no tape drive on those cameras at all...that is solid state SxS cards...TAPELESS. Then there are the dozens of Sony cameras that shoot Digibeta and Betacam...those aren't miniDV. And those are still sold today.
Then there is the Canon 5D MarkII, and the 7D, that shoots to SD cards...
There are the Sony and Canon HDV cameras, those shoot to HDV tape, that is the same form factor as DV...but isn't miniDV. If that is what you mean. But ALL cameras? Hardly.
Maybe when flash memory gets cheaper/bigger enough we'll see an i-frame codec that will make the editing less cumbersome and easier like it is with DV...
Like the Convergent Design Nano that records I-Frame MPEG 2 to Compact flash cards and connects to cameras via SDI? Like P2 that shoots DVCPRO HD and AVCIntra to decently priced E-Series P2 cards? Or AVCHD that imports as ProRes (an I-frame codec) for easy editing. Importable as low res ProRes Proxy, and reimportable at higher resolution?
Tape is not king. And no, ALL Sony and Canon cameras sold today do not shoot to tape.

High Def mini DV camcorders, how many minutes can you record?

Im looking for new camcorder,
Sony website says High Def 60 minutes of playback and recording
But guys at Best buy say 20-30 minutes so im just trying to find out whos right.
How much time does a tape last?

Hi Applenoobie
Whether using High Def tape or regular DV tape you will record for at least 60 minutes. Most DV tapes have grace by adding a few minutes of extra tape just in case. Where you'll find a difference is if you are taping in High Def or standard Def. High def seems to consume more power or standard def. Thus, you battery will not last a total 60 minutes unless you buy a biger battery than comes standard with most cameras. Perhaps that was what the guys at Best Buy were trying to convey.
DV tape whether high def or standard def is superior to camera that employ a hard drive, record directly to DVD, or mini DVD, or even flash based video cameras because each of these encode the video and compress it in different ways. In most cases you can get at the video, but to make it editable you'll need some kind of 3rd party application to convert it to the DV standard anyway. then you will have the issue of how to store hours upon hours of video. DV tape is the way to go.
See your previous post.

3 questions: Time Warp, High Def, and DVDs

3 questions:
1. If I am wanting to slow down or speed up a shot how do I go about doing that in FCE?
2. If I shoot in High Def, how do I make a video copy for people without High Def? Is there a way?
3. In the past I have had some trouble with some DVDs being read in certain DVD players. Is there a specific type of DVD that is better all around?

1. Modify>Speed
2. Export to QuickTime Conversion and change it to a different format.
3. This can be caused by many different things. The most likely cause is the type of media used. You should try this question on a forum for DVD creation, like iDVD or DVD Studio Pro. It's really nothing to do with anything that can be fixed in FCE.

High Def MBP

Hello all
Is it possible to generate a high definition image on an lcd TV from the new macbook pro (for games/movies etc)?
Is the iamge on the new 24" lcd display high def too?
Thanks
Graham

All you have to do to get 1080i/p is to go into spanning mode and make sure that the player window is on the part of the desktop displayed on the TV before selecting full screen playback. I've done this with some of the 1080p HD movies I downloaded from Apple's QuickTime site and they look incredible.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes does not think I have high definition display. Playback with other internet apps is in high def, but not iTunes.

I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. Now when I try to play high definition movies, iTunes says they can not play back on my display which is low def. My display has high resolution and display settings are correct. Other websites play back in high def. Just not iTunes.

Hi,
Try this command to fix your problem:

When is it time to invest in a high-def editing setup?

I own a ten year old digital editing appliance that I'm considering replacing with Final Cut Pro. I want to start work on some niche documentaries that I plan to sell online. I made one documentary at home about six years ago that I still sell online.
I've never bought a HD TV because I don't watch broadcast television. I find conventional DVDs on high-def screens very grainy in image quality ... downright unwatchable ... so to this day I still watch all my DVDs (homemade and store-bought) on a big tube television set.
Personally, I don't want a high-def TV for watching old movies and 70's TV shows on DVD. I'm perfectly happy with my tube TV, my 2001-era editor, and my twelve year old standard-definition Sony PD150 cancorder which I just had serviced and cleaned.
Heck, 20% of my viewing pleasure still comes from videocassettes, which I can get at the Goodwill for 25 cents a piece.
But ... now... I have some ideas for some new niche video products. Only problem is ... I haven't followed the conversation about high-def at all. I'm wholly and utterly ignorant. Pretty much all I know is that BluRay won the format war … and I know I can look up 720p, 1080p, 1080i should that information become important.
That's the extent of my knowledge. I honestly have no idea whether my Sony PD-150, my old editor, and single-layer DVDs would be just fine ... or whether they would result in a bunch of refund requests when I start selling these new DVDs I want to make.
God help me. I just don't keep up with what other people are doing.
And googling "do-I-need-to-dump-my-90's-era-digital-camcorder-and-standard-definition-editing- appliance-in-favor-of-ten-thousand-dollars-worth-of-new-high-def-cam-and-editing -gear-if-I'm-going-to-make-another-sellable-DVD" didn't really yield much.
Can anyone help me here?
1) Is anyone in the lower-mid-range video business … like a budget wedding guy or a niche how-to video … still using standard-def stuff to churn out acceptable product in high volume?
I've sold hundreds of copies of my DVD online and two weeks ago I got my first ever refund request … the guy berated me for selling a DVD in standard definition when (he said) the "commercial standard" now is high-def. No one else has ever complained. So now I'm left wondering if this guy is the first of a new generation of customers who would not tolerate a standard-def product … or if he's just a dork who needed to complain about something.
2) How does manufacturing a high number of copies of a high-def video work? My 50-minute standard-def movie fit wonderfully on an inexpensive 4.7GB DVD. Running off copies was cheap and painless. I understand that high-def discs are some 25GB. Are you guys with your new Mac and Final Cut Pro working with HD buying these expensive discs for large volume runs? Are even decent bread-and-butter wedding shoots or corporate training films these days getting burned to BluRays?
3) Does it make sense to trade in a perfectly good 90's high-end standard definition digital cam for a new HD cam when I'm still going to burn it to a conventional DVD?
4) Is my gear still perfectly acceptable for budget projects? I really don't want to pay for Final Cut Pro and a HD burner ... I would only get one if my old editor is flat-out obsolete, which it certainly isn't for editing home movies.
Note: "Budget" does not mean poorhouse. I'm talking about "working" niche videos … competent (non-broadcast) megachurch sermon DVDs … homemade documentaries … non-Rolls-Royce weddings … small business promo videos ...
… the stuff that working joe videos are made of.
What constitutes "reasonable and acceptable" these days, when just about everybody has a high-def TV set they're watching these things on?

When I made the move from SD it was painful. It was just before the digital broadcast change over and when I hooked up my new Samsung 37" HD TV to my cable box I almost hurled.
since then, almost all of the broadcasters have caught up with HD transmission and almost all broadcast stuff in 1080i or 720p look amazing.
Standard Def DVDs are another story. Well done commercial SD DVDs can look quite nice when playing back through my new Samsung Blu-ray player. The folks who compress down to SD for the big studios are indeed rocket scientists and they're doing things that most of us simply can't afford to do.
Plus, the scaling technology in players and TVs has come a long way as well. So Don't throw out your standard DVDs just yet.
Should you consider a Hi Def camera? I'd say Yes, The time has come. If all you were doing was posting 480P online I'd say use your camera til it croaks. but the optical delivery is a factor for you.
Authoring your own BD for mass duplication? That's a little more complicated still. There are licensing issues involved in Blu-ray authoring which are complex. It's one of the reasons that we probably won't see Blu-ray hardware in Macs for a while. I don't think you can duplicate as easily as you can with DVD. You can burn your own one at a time if that's a possibility for you.
Shooting HD and delivering SD DVDs? It can be done. But compressing so that you end up with a satisfactory product is sort of a black art. You'll see lot's of discussions online about how many people are disappointed with HD to DVD, some claiming that their SD to DVD projects actually look better.
My latest technique for getting respectable DVDs is to first downrez in Mpeg Streamclip to an anamorphic SD file still in the Prores codec. Then I use Bitvice to do the mpeg2 file.
The bottom Line.
If you can afford it, get a new camera, BD burner and learn how to author BD. The authoring software is not fully baked yet for mac users but you should definitely head in that direction ASAP. You can even incorporate SD footage in an HD timeline and the SD footage is much more palatable than SD DVD.
On the up-side, you might be happy to know that you missed the worst of it. Be thankful that you were able to put it off so long. There are many other people out there who rode the bleeding edge and suffered a great deal of economic and emotional trauma.
good Luck!

Connect my Mac book Pro to a hdmi high def tv

HOW DO I CONNECT MY MACBOOK PRO TO A HIGH DEF TV
built 2008 version 4, 1 It does not have a mini dvi port

See the attached link. There are several other lengths available. Check just to be certain that your MBP has an DVI port. Sound will NOT be transmitted. That would require connections from your audio output port.

How can I use both high def (16:9) and regular def (4:3) in the same video?

I'm editing a load of video, some of it was shot in 16:9 high-def and some in 4:3 regular-def. Id really hate to see the 4:3 footage go to waste. What can I tack on to the black sidebars on either end of this footage to fill in the gaps? I've also seen on TV where the sidebars on old 4:3 footage is blurred out by video from that particular frame. How can I do this?

Just duplicate the footage and superimpose.
Stretch the underlaying footage to fill the screen and add a blur.

Downloading High Def Mini DV through Macbook pro to external hard drive

Hi, I am making a 90min High def documentary with the hopes of selling it comercialy. I purchased a Sony hdr-hc7 and we shot 28 hours of footage with another 30 hrs to come. My plan is to rent a tape deck to download the DVM-63HD Mini DV Video Cassettes through my Macbook pro to an external hard drive.
My question is will I lose the High Def quality because I only have one firewire 400 input and will have to daisy chain the tape deck through the back of the external Hard drive. I asume that I'll need about 2000 gbs of external storage for the project, correct? Also, will my system be able to handle the editing, compresion and then creation of a master (maybe renting a Blue ray disc burner).
I have a macbook pro 15" with 1gb ddr2 sdram 667 mhz speed. There is a Bank 0 and a Bank 1 slot for ram that list have ing 1gb of ram (does this mean there are 2gb of ram?). Also, the firewire is 400mb/sec. Graphics card is an ATY,RadeonX1600. I'm using final cut pro 5.1.4. that I bought with finalcut studio pro.

Hi(Bonjour)!
If you use Apple Intermediate Codec to capture, you'll need 12 to 15 meg/second of space, that's an hefty 45 to 48 gig. for one hour. ( an external hard disk about 58 X 48 gig: 2784 gig ...)
As I read in FCS2 additionnal documentation regarding work in HDV and other formats, you can capture HDV natively (same hard drive space than regular mini DV), but you will need more processor power to display and scroll content than media captured with AIC.

Standard Def on High Def TV

Hello all
I work in standard def with the Sony DCR-SR80 (MPEG-2 format 16:9). I then convert in MPEG Streamclip. I use to export to DV format but more recently I'm exporting to "Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" 720 x 480 (unscaled). My FCE Easy Set up is Format: DV/Panasonic DVCPRO Rate: 29.97 Use: DV-NTSC 32 khz Anamorphic. This is all nice because there really isn't any rendering going on. I film a lot of high school football so there is fast moving objects on the video.
My problem is that I create these projects and then burn them in iDVD and play them on my High Def Samsung TV (1080P) through my Blueray player (1080P) and the video has a jpeg look to it. I can make it better by adjusting my TV but I'm curious why it looks this way. Is it the camera? I nolonger have a tube television in the house so I can't compare. Any suggestions? whether a new camera or maybe new format and conversion settings. I tried to give as much detail as possible. I'm aware there are a lot of variables in there questions.
Thank you all in advance!!
Ween

Hi(Bonjour)!
That's normal as your base material is MPEG converted to DVCPRO. MPEG compression artifacts are transcoded to DVCPRO upon conversion with MPEG streamclip. MPEG format doesn't render rapid action like football very well.
Worst, you play a standard def DVD in a HD set. The image (and the MPEG artifact)is upscaled 6 times to fit the HD screen.
By the way you should choose a 48 khz audio preset as it's a standard in video edition.

Trying to get High Def Picture/Video to my 40" LCD. Help

Hey all
I have recently brough a MacBook Pro 2.33,
I have downloaded some videos & TV eps which are in High Def (720). On the MacBook they look brilliant, I wanted to hook the Macbook up to my Samsung 40" LCD and then hopefully be able to watch my High Def videos on the big screen in crystal clear quality, So I hooked up the macbook to my TV via a DVI - HDMI Cable and got the display on the LCD, which looks ok, Thought it would be perfect as it was just using it like a Monitor. I played with the resolutions to get the best fitting picture as there doesnt seem to be the Native Res for my LCD, I always end up loosing a tiny bit of the screen at the top & the bottom, but not too fussed about that, So i was playing my High Def Videos but they are definatly not in the quality that they look like on my Macbook, Very bitmappy etc..
Wonder if you lot can offer an advise as to how I can use the Macbook to get true High Def picture to my LCD
Thanks in advance

PS. Obviously all this will give me Video out, but hows the best way to get sound out? just a headphone to phono lead into my amp?

Large screen displays don't necessarily have a 1:1 pixel mapping. Ideally you should find out what your display's native resolution is, and pick something close to that. 720 is 1280x720, 1080 is 1920x1080. Your TV may only accept those resolutions... it's a TV and not a monitor.
My Pioneer (connected to my mac mini) is receiving 1280x720 and the menu bar barely shows on the screen due to overscan but movies look great.
You can turn on underscan (picture is shrunk to avoid overscan) on a tab on the Displays preference pane, provided your Mac detected that it was a TV.

Apple tv video quality vs hd tv and high def dvd's

ok...i know it supports 1080i, but does the video quality of video in itunes really look good compared against say a blu-ray disc, or hdtv signals? i'm sure it will get better (with a hardware or software upgrade?) if its not close to high def quality but want to know what i'm in store for if i buy appletv now...thanks. PS: i currently have directv HD and a ps3 for blu-ray, and my tv's are all HD...

Based on my own testing, the distinctions between an HD-DVD movie (which are true 1080) and an Apple TV video converted as its own maximum settings (which is 720) is actually quite noticeable if you have a 1080 TV set, but at the same I don't consider it a show-stopper. I watch a lot of HD broadcast content that's only 720p, and it's still very good.
An HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD will normally be in 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p or 1080i, generally depending on your equipment). The Apple TV's maximum resolution is 1280 x 720 (basically 720p). Therefore, even an original HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD converted to Apple TV will need to be scaled down to 720p for display on the Apple TV.
Further, Elgato EyeTV actually scales these down somewhat lower, so HDTV recorded content could be even worse-off, depending on the original source. The standard Apple TV export settings use a 960 x 540 frame in order to keep the bit-rate and frame rate within tolerances (since a 720p signal is approximately 60fps, and the bitrates will generally exceed 5-6 mbps, which pushes the limits of the Apple TV).
Even more interestingly, Elgato's new turbo.264 dongle will only encode in "Apple TV" format at a maximum resolution of 800 x 600 (and if you do the math you will realize that this will be considerably less for a 16:9 aspect ratio video).
The result is that videos converted from an EyeTV Hybrid are technically much worse off on the Apple TV than viewing the original source material. Whether this is significant enough to be noticeable will depend on your output medium, but on my 62" DLP, the difference is quite apparent (although still far superior to an SDTV signal).
You can get 1280 x 720 content to play back at 60fps at 5mbps bit-rates on the Apple TV by using ffmpeg-based encoders and manually selecting higher settings, although it's been hit-and-miss in my own testing, and of course it creates gargantuan files. Elgato and others have obviously tried to stay with the more conservative settings to ensure that they can guarantee the broadcast possible range of support.
In fact, although most of the standard encoder settings max out at 2.5-3.0 mbps, I've successfully pushed up to 6 mbps through the Apple TV, although such content has to be synced rather than streamed, since even an 802.11n network has a hard time keeping up (it worked, but there were some drop-outs and glitches in the process). Of course, 6mbps content is going to fill up the Apple TV hard drive pretty quickly as well (you'd only be able to fit around 11 hours on the internal 40GB hard drive).
The other thing to keep in mind with DVD movies is that they come from film, which is a 24fps source (based on the physical nature of film). As a result, the distinctions between a 720p and 1080i signal are less prevalant when dealing with film content, since you won't get the full 60fps HDTV capabilities anyway. Interlacing can still create some nasty side-effects, but it's far less of an issue when you're dealing with less than half of the normal frames.
In my own experiences, I have an Apple TV that is connected to a 1080p upscaling DLP TV (native 1080i input, internalized de-interlacing), and a second Apple TV that is connected to a 720p LCD TV. With the first Apple TV, I can notice the difference between 720p and 1080i output settings only when viewing photos, since the remainder of the standard content doesn't exceed 720p anyway. Further, because my TV de-interlaces a 1080i signal to 1080p, I don't get the flicker that is normally associated with a 1080i signal.
On the second Apple TV, I leave the setting to 720p, since that's the native resolution of the second TV, and I get noticeable interlacing-based flickering on the 1080i, particularly with photo slideshows (mostly in the transitions).
