Gamma setting on export

When exporting files in Aperture what should the gamma value be set to? Does this setting affect print, photos viewed on monitors, or both? An explanation of this is doing will help.
thanks,

I assume you're referring to the gamma adjust slider in the export dialogue when you click the "edit.." option. Unless you have a reason to make your images look more exposed overall, leave it to the default of 1.00 (yes, I know this might not be a technically definition, but it's close enough for the answering of this question)
As the name suggests, gamma adjust alters the existing gamma by an amount. It will affect the appearance whether printed or viewed.

How to set QuickTime export setting to 1080p as default? Thank you! ;-)

HI there,
I was wondering how to set the export settings to 1080p when exporting a video (after trimming for instance)...
It is set to "Movie" by default, I'm not to sure what resolution or data rate "Movie" format is (identical to original file)... since according to apple the other export options are:
Thanks.

Cool, so would it be the same if I save the file as "Movie" or "1080p" once I've trimmed the original file?
No, the 1080p option would re-compress the file as a 1080p H.264/AAC file. This means the compression format may be chaged from its original compression format and that the quality MAY be reduced due to the process of recompression. Basically, it all depends on what the original compression format, settings, and quality were like to begin with. If the original data was in a low compression editing format, then recompressing the data to H.264/AAC should produce a much smaller file with little or no loss in visual quality while recompressing a high compression format may produce little or now change in the file size but noticeably reduce the visual quality. Since "quality" is a highly subjective term, you should really be running your own tests to see which output you prefer rather than asking for opinions from others here.
Also, my question was if I could change the default export settings:
Depends on what you mean by "change" the default settings. The Apple H.264 presets are context adaptive in nature. They are, within certain limits, self-adjusting depending on the video content being transcoded and the specific preset selected. For instance, small target dispay dimensions will produce lower average data rates which means the final file will be smaller but you cannot manually change the frame rate, set key frame frequency, set a/v data rate limits, create custom anamorphic encodes, manually set the profile/level combination, set the entropy mode, etc.

1.8 gamma setting

My rMBP display is a little on the dark side. Will playing with the gamma setting hurt the display? I currently have it set to 1.8

Import stops with 'Transport set created, exported, and submitted...'

Hi,
I'm using Oracle Portal 10.1.4, and I've successfully imported page groups into this portal before, but now when I try to do an import, I only see the following message in the 'Browse Transport Sets' page:
Import: Transport set created, exported, and submitted to background process for import.
This is true for new page groups and for page groups that should be replaced. Any ideas?
What is the background process? How do I get it started, if it has failed? How can I remove the transport set that is in this 'Import' status. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
J.

Hi J,
For me if this is happening is cause problably something hang on your side while doing the Portal Export / Import. Not sure how it happened but I've seen this happening for other persons. The easiest way is to clean up the Portal Transport Set tables. Upload the DMP to the Portal again and attempt to merge it again.
There is an out dated Note in the Metalink for this, but I'd basically submit a Service Request as Oracle Support may better help you on this matter and eventually update the old Note -- Note:177597.1 - How to clean up the Oracle Portal Transport Tables.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

Color changes (darkens) in screen capture - color sync gamma setting?

I encountered this weird effect that the color darkens when I did a screen capture in one Mac but not the other.
In fact, it darkens more with shift-ctrl-cmd-4 (selection capture) than with shift-ctrl-cmd-3 (whole screen capture).
The knowledge base mentioned the gamma setting in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3712 but the color darkens in the clipboard, so there is no way to change the color sync if it is not a file. I tried to re-calibrate my display using different gamma setting, but it didn't change any color.
In my other Mac, I can do a screen capture and the color is preserved as is. It is only in one Mac that did this. The color darkens so much that it practically becomes black-and-white.
Any suggestion would help. I think it has something to do with the color sync profile setting.

I found out that the darkening of the color in screen capture is caused by screenshot captured into jpeg. The darkening happens when the lines are thin, due to the averaging effect of jpeg. If the lines are thick, then the change in color is not apparent.
Now, the problem is, I can't change screen capture to capture in png. I used Tinker Tool, and deleted com.apple.screencapture.plist , nothing would change it back to capture in png.

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

Aperture Printing: Gamma Setting Counterpart in Photoshop?

I've finally gotten my printing sorted out in Aperture and can get good prints from my Epson 7500 most of the time. I still have margin problems, but I suspect that is more a driver issue. At any rate, I'm really starting to like the gamma setting in Aperture. It allows me to turn up the brightness of my monitor a bit and then compensate when printing--works well and gives my aging eyes some relief.
Now I'd like to keep it that way but have problems in Photoshop when I print--prints come out darker because I've got the monitor turned up. Does anyone know of a corresponding setting in Photoshop (CS2 by the way).
Thanks in advance,
Roy

Victor,
Thanks for the response, but perhaps I wasn't clear. Here's more detail on the scenario. The monitor is calibrated and everything prints fine, in PS and Aperture. Because the apple monitor is so bright, that it has to be turned down to make photo's match (too much luminance).
Now what I would like to do is run the monitor a bit brighter (easier on the eyes). In Aperture, I can do everything as normal and just bump the gamma setting in the print dialog box from 1 to 1.1 or 1.2 and the photo prints great. Now I'd like to do the same in PS. So, the question is if there is anything in PS that accomplishes the same thing at the time of output.

What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

Hi
I am editing a raw time lapse in after effects and also some short video clips I would like to export them from after effects and upload them online afterwards but i get a bit lost in exporting settings and formats and mbps..
What are the best settings to export a video and get best quality(high) in full hd 1080 ? in 4k ? and what would be the best setting to export animations/logo/intro and get best quality ?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for reply !
I used until now quicktime in H264 codec was that OK ?
two more questions :
what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
to play on my PC using windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
Thanks in advance.

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

Setting Bitmap Export Names in JSFL

Hi,
We have JSFL functions written to automatically create SWF
files using imported assets. Within these JSFL functions we are
able to set EXPORT LINKAGE NAMES on Movie Clips - no problem.
We are NOT able to set EXPORT LINKAGE NAMES on BITMAPS
however - and we need to do this. We can go into the IDE and set
the export names manually - but we cannot do this in JSFL. It just
won't do it.
We are currently using CS3. Can someone tell me if we can do
this in CS4? Or if we need to do something different in CS3 to be
able to do this in JSFL?
Thanks in advance!!

I was able to do it with the following code in CS3:
var lib = fl.getDocumentDOM().library;
lib.setItemProperty('linkageExportForAS', true);
lib.setItemProperty('linkageIdentifier', 'test');
Be sure that you set linkageExportForAS to true before setting the linkage ID. You may get a (silent) error if you try set properties that aren't available on a bitmap (but are available on a movieclip), so check any other properties that you're setting.

Best setting to export an HDV sequence to Encore

I have a sequence in a Premiere CS3 project (HDV NTSC preset) and I want to export it to Encore. What is the best setting to export a movie to be imported by Encore?
As a test I have exported it as DV NTSC (720 x 480) but final quality is poor.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

Flash CC Canvas project - No longer able to set the export Linkage?

Now that Toolkit has been integrated into Flash, it appears a Library Linkages have been somewhat removed...
You can no longer right click and set a linking for an object in the Library, yet you can mannually edit the Linkage box and it works. It worked when tool kit so why has this been disabled? Having to dump everything onto the stage in order to get access to the object is no the best way of doing things, you have to then mannually enter an 'instance' name for everything, before you could right click all the items in the library and select export. It would hten use the library objects name as the linkage.
Will this feature return, I see no reason for it to be removed?

Hi thanks for the fast reply.
I still don't see why it was removed. By removing the feature it does simplify the process but it also hampers the process...
In my example, say I have 100 movie clips, all of these have animations and timeline code; 'stop()', gotoAndPlay()' etc etc.
So under the new "simplified" system, I have to add all 100 clips to the stage, distrute them so I can select them and then manually give them all instance names so that I can interact with them in code, otherwise they become instance1, instance2 etc which i unreliable. Alternativly, I have to edit the Linkage label for each clip in the library manually. I don't think anyone would enjoy this either of these tasks.
The other alternative would be to use the 'export linkages' in an "ActionScript" project but if I were to then copy them back into the Canvas project, all my code would be commented out. I would then have to go through all 100 clips re enabling the code, again another horrible task.
Comparing this to the old way; I would select the 100 clips in the library, right click and tick export. Simple.
This is pretty annoying and I think disabling this feature has not been truly thought out.
I would love to see it return and can only hope it will in a future update.
