Go Pro 60FPS Conforming

Hi, following the instructions on the Go Pro website, I imported my 60FPS sequence into Cinema Tools to "conform" it to make it slow motion, it worked, but it's changed the aspect ratio so now the footage is all squashed and deformed, I've looked for settings in Cinema Tools but can find now way to change the size, can someone help please, thanks

Thanks for that, but I fear this is not the case, I plyed the file in Quicktime Player (The latest one) and it was deformed

  • Keeping high audio quality, despite Pr Pro Audio Conforming

    I'm working on a film project, which will be edited in Premiere Pro.  I am recording most of the audio at 24/96 .wav files.  There will however be some audio files recorded at 16/48 compressed, coming from different sources.  This is unfortunately unavoidable.  SO, upon digging in the Adobe help sections, I found that if I start my project and set the sequence settings for audio to a sample rate of 96 (or 96,000), Prem Pro WILL NOT CONFORM my 24/96 .wav files.  (Pr Pro will not conform uncompressed audio of a supported format if it is brought into a sequnce where the sample rate of the sequence is the same as the clip.) This is great.  My 24/96 files will hold their quality all the way through the process.  It will however conform the other files such as the 16/48 compressed files.
    So here's my question.  (Keep in mind that my final product will be exported to 24/96.) I can take all my 16/48 audio files and convert them to uncompressed 24/96 before bringing into Prem Pro and then Prem Pro won't conform them at all.  So what will yield the best audio quality - a 16/48 audio file that has been conformed by Prem Pro and then during the export done by Prem Pro converted to 24/96, or will the audio quality be higher if I convert that 16/48 audio file first to 24/96 and then bring it into Prem Pro, where it won't be conformed by Prem Pro at all?  In other words, for best audio quality, do I let Prem Pro conform my 16/48 files and then convert them to 24/96 during export, or do I do the 16/48 converstion to 24/96 in another program like Audition?
    (((And yes, the higher audio quality matters.)))
    Thank you

    Thank you
    If these files are .wav files then they aren't compressed just a lower sample rate and bit depth. There shouldn't be any difference in quality between the Premiere up converted or the Audition up converted files, although I would trust Audition a bit more than Premiere to do an accurate conversion.
    Not really sure why you need to work at 96K, it just uses more resources but it is worth keeping the sored files as at least 24bit. Since Audition works at 32bit floating point bit depth as it's native format it may be that your saved files from Audition are 32bit and that is what Premiere is choking on.

  • Is there a feature in Audition CS6 similar to Soundtrack Pro's Conform Projects

    Hi All,
    I'm new to the forums so I applogize if this is a repeat question, I could not find it during my searchs.  I have a video project that I sent from Premiere to Audition, did my sound mix and sent back to Premiere.  There was then a requested change to change the timing of the video, causing sound timing to change as well.  In Soundtrack I would send the updated sequence to soundtrack, conform projects, and then my filters, effects, and other modifications would be all back in place.  Is there a similar feature or way to accomplish this in the Premiere/Audition workflow?
    Thanks!

  • How does FCP Pro X handle mixed frame rate video clips?

    My camcorders are by Canon and both can shoot 50i or 25p. Normally I shoot 25p to avoid interlace artefacts. As I understand it, FCP Pro X conforms the clips to match the initial clip in the storyline. But what would be the outcome if I included clips from another camcorder that only offered 30p? Would those clips be converted to 25p if the initial clip was 25p. Or, would the 25p clips be converted to 30p if the initial clip was 30p?
    Assuming I made a movie entirely out 30p footage, would that be uploaded to You-Tube at that frame rate?  If my movie is 25p is that converted to 30p for You-Tube upload? Could I otherwise export a QT movie to my desktop at 30 fps or any other frame rate?
    It seems that the 25p setting on my camcorders still means that the recording is made as 50i but repackaged somehow. Can anyone explain please?
    Yes, I am in the UK in a PAL environment.
    AW.

    But what would be the outcome if I included clips from another camcorder that only offered 30p? Would those clips be converted to 25p if the initial clip was 25p. Or, would the 25p clips be converted to 30p if the initial clip was 30p?
    Subsequent clips will be converted to match the project settings created by the first clip into the timeline. I don't know how well FCP does this timebase conversion from NTSC to PAL frame rates or vice versa. Compressor would probably do a better job. There is also Standard Conversion software from Graeme Nattress that will do an excellent job.
    YouTube will take either. You would need to use Compressor to change the frame rate on export, though you don't want to do that unless you absolutely have to.
    Most consumer cameras do not actually shoot 25 separate frames when they're set to 25p. They shoot what's called segmented frames, two fields just as the 50i setting, only the two fields are supposed to be identical. That's the theory; in practice some cameras do this better than others.

  • Audition edit causes Premiere to re-conform every file

    I've recently used Audition 3.0 to edit audio clips via 'render-and-replace' in a few Premiere CS4 projects. The export to Audition works fine; I can edit/process my clips, save and go back to Premiere CS4 with no problem. But when I get back to Premiere, I find it re-conforming every file in my project. The last project was a 1.25hr concert shot with multiple cameras and had a few external extra audio tracks (like an 8 channel multi-track recording) and it took a long time to re-conform all the audio. I can render and replace with Soundbooth CS4 without incident. I don't like Soundbooth.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to stop it? It's a big waste of time.

    Following are the rules of comforming from adobe docs.  Based on this I would say your audio should not have to conform.  I dont have audition on my system at the moment, so I cant confirm, deny, or test it.   Anyone else duplicate this?
    These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:
    Uncompressed audio
    Adobe Premiere Pro does not conform audio in uncompressed clips that were recorded in one of the natively supported sample rates, when you use these clips in sequences with matching sample rates.
    Adobe Premiere Pro does conform audio in uncompressed clips when you use them in sequences with non-matching sample rates. However no conforming is done until you export the sequences or create audio preview files.
    Adobe Premiere Pro does conform audio in uncompressed formats that were not recorded in a natively supported sample rate. In most of these cases, it will upsample the audio either to the nearest supported sample rate, or to a supported sample rate that is an even multiple of the source audio sample rate. For example, it will upsample an 11024Hz source to 11025Hz, since that is the nearest supported rate, and there is no supported rate that is an even multiple of 11024.
    Compressed audio
    Adobe Premiere Pro does conform all compressed audio, such as audio found in mp3, WMA, MPEG, or compressed MOV files. It conforms this audio at the sample rate of its source file. For example it will conform a 44100Hz mp3 file at 44100Hz. However, if the conformed audio is used in a sequence with a non-matching sampling rate, as when a 44100Hz clip is used in a 44000Hz sequence, the audio will play back at the sample rate of the sequence without further conforming.

  • Conform from 24P back to 60P -- Please Help!

    I accidentally batch captured some HD 24FPS footage from a Varicam at 60FPS over firewire via the panasonic HD1200A deck using the DVCPRO HD CODEC. Final Cut normally removes the extra frames upon capture to make it 24fps. But for troubleshooting purposes (it kept aborting capture) I ended up capturing the footage without the frame removal pulldown feature enabled.
    To fix this, I mistakenly tried the Cinema Tools conform feature to "conform" the footage to 24fps. This didn't remove the pulldown, but rather just slowed everything down, esentially stretching out time, making my audio tracks unusable. Unfortunately, there seems no way to conform the footage back to 60fps because the conform window only allows 24 and 30fps conversions. I need a 60fps conform technique. Is there a way to fix the footage?

    Thanks for the help!
    the reason I couldn't capture reliably using the 24P settings appears to be that my Firewire bus is not functioning properly--I'll get it into service but that's another issue.
    Since recapturing isn't really an option because the deck was a one-time rental, I tried a slightly lossy technique, but the results were acceptable to me. Creating an image sequence was a good idea, but I wanted to preserve my audio track simulateously.
    Here's what worked for me:
    I started by conforming again in cinema tools to 30 fps. This gave me a simple even denominator of 60P. I then added each of these footage files to a 60P DVCPRO HD sequence. I then adjusted the speed of the clips in the timeline 200% and turned off frame blending. I then exported (recompressed) the footage to new flattened clips. I then took the conformed, messed up files offline and reconnected to the new clips, thereby preserving my loging notes, etc.
    It was time consuming but worked. The audio is 48K again and the playback is 60P.
    Frankly, I made a mistake that will become more common as the HD userbase expands. Most people don't understand that the Varicam 24P is actually recorded at 60P. I hope Apple updates Cinema Tools to conform back to 60P before more people make my mistake.
    Thanks!

  • Conforming 1080p60 to 30fps in Cinema Tools?

    Hi there.  I'm trying to conform 1080p 60 video converted to .mov's in clip wrap, from the sony NEXea50 to 30 fps in cinema tools, and the conform tab is grayed out.  I have never had this problem with 720p60...  Does cinema tools not support conforming 1080p60 to 30 or 24fps?  Does Clip wrap convert frame rates at all?  Thanks...

    Awesome, thanks for the reply! 
    Hmm, what do you think is best?  In the essence of time, could I just xcode the original PAL 50fps 720 clips to pro res, conform to 25fps and work them into the XDCAM project sequence I've already started?  Or will that create serious workflow issues for me?  I don't have time to go back and re-xcode every clip (almost 100 GBs) to Pro Res before I show the client a rough edit.
    Also, if it is better to just take the hit on time and re-xcode every clip to Pro Res, would I be able to easily reconnect all media to the newly coded ProRes files?  Or would I lose all that work in the sequence?
    Thanks again for the info!

  • 25P to 24P conform audio?

    I have been trying for almost a week now to get this done for a 85min movie. I am bringing in the .aif from the 25P movie (exported as aif from FCP). Then once it loads up I select process and time stretch. then i set the hh:mm:ss:ff to be exactly how long the movie is in the 24P timeline in FCP (actually a 23.98 timeline). I also set the STP prefs to be 23.98.
    I have tried now so many times and can't get the sound to sync up.
    I read something about slowing down 4%. Maybe, I can try that. but how?
    or maybe i should be using frames?
    I read that STP automatically adjusts the pitch too. Does anyone know about doing this as well?
    thanks in advance. totally confused.

    I have been trying for a week using soundtrack pro to conform the sound of a 25p 1.5 hr movie to 24p. < </div>
    Forgive my ignorance on the topic and I wish you success. You might find something helpful here:
    http://zerocut.com/
    Why do you need to conform anything? Depending on your release needs, the audio can remain a separate file. The length of your sound track won't change regardless of the frame rate; 90 minutes of 25fps is the same amount of time as 90 minutes at 24fps.
    Again, my apologies for not knowing anything at all useful about your problem. Last time I shot double system or had to convert from 23.97 crystal to 29.97 NTSC was maybe 20 years ago.
    Best of luck, please come back and close the post if you get it figured out.

  • Quicktime's Conform Aperture is cropping my footage??

    So I recorded some 1080i/59.94 Uncompressed 8-bit video via SDI using a Blackmagic Studio card.
    Final Cut Pro (and After Effects) report the footage as true 1920x1080. But when I open in Quicktime Player Pro to convert to ProRes, I get this wacky 1888x1062 resolution. Someone pointed me to this Apple document that talks about Quicktime aperture conform (which I've never heard of).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24215?locale=enUS&viewlocale=enUS&login=email
    So I've never heard of QT Player actively cropping and scaling movies. Is sounds like I shouldn't be using QT Player to convert my files, right?

    Hi. Is there a possibilty to export quicktime movies with final cut pro where 'Conform apperture to ...' is always disabled or set to clean? I need to encode some quicktime movies with other encoders like Rhozet's Carbon Coder or Cinemacraft HD encoder. In these encoders, especially on microsoft windows, the apperture setting is always set to production and therefore the results are incorrect. I always have to conform apperture to clean or disable it manually.

  • Is there a qualitative difference between scaling in AE vs. PP? (CS4)

    I frequently customize 1920x1080 AE templates and export them as movies for use in PP. Until now, I have always resized to 1280x720 using AE's "Stretch" option in the Output Module Settings. My other option is to render it at 1920x1080 and "Scale to Frame Size" in PP.
    I can't imagine why it would make any difference where it's downsized, but does it?
    Thanks, everyone.

    Thanks, Jim, but this link from the CS4 Help Manual seems to suggest there is more to it than just visual interpretation. I've excerpted a paragraph below:
    About square-pixel footage
    Many graphics and animation programs generate square-pixel assets meant for display on square-pixel computer monitors. Premiere Pro, however, typically generates files with non-square pixels for display on television sets. Premiere Pro automatically conforms square-pixel assets to the project pixel aspect ratio. After the asset is conformed, however, it no longer has its original frame aspect ratio. Also, its frame aspect ratio is not likely to match that of the project, even if it did before it was conformed.
    For example, suppose you generate a square-pixel asset at 720x540 and import it into a Premiere Pro DV project with an aspect ratio of 720x540. In this case, the asset is wider than the screen when it is conformed. You can use the Scale control to set the size of the asset frame within the project frame. However, to preserve the asset frame aspect ratio, Premiere Pro often either crops the asset or frames it within black bars.
    You can prevent this cropping and framing by carefully generating assets from your square-pixel graphics or animation programs. Choose a frame aspect ratio that, when conformed, matches the project frame size exactly. For best results, use programs such as Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe After Effects® that include pixel aspect ratio settings. Set the frame dimensions and pixel aspect ratio to match the dimensions of your project. If the pixel aspect ratio setting is unavailable in your program, do not try to match the frame dimensions (for example, 720x540). Instead, ensure that the overall frame aspect ratio matches that of your project (for example, 4:3 or 16:9). Premiere Pro automatically adjusts the video so that it is not distorted.
    If your square-pixel program requires frame dimensions, use the option that matches your project output:
    4:3 DV (NTSC) or ATSC SD—create and save the square-pixel file at 720x534.
    4:3 D1 (NTSC)—create and save the square-pixel file at 720x534.
    4:3 DV or D1 (PAL)—create and save the file at 788x576.
    16:9 DV (NTSC)—create and save the file at 864x480.
    16:9 D1 (NTSC)—create and save the file at 872x486.
    16:9 DV or D1 (PAL)—create and save the file at 1050x576.
    16:9 1080i HD—create and save the file at 1920x1080.
    16:9 720p HD—create and save the file at 1280x720.

  • AME Bug: Creates new CFA file for each clip queued!

    Here is my workflow:  I have a 60 minute sequence of a dance performance of about 20 dances.  I queued in AME 20 exports to H.264 files by moving the workspace to the segment I want to export, adding it to the queue with a file name, and repeating for the next section (dance).
    For each queued export I make a copy so I have a low and high resolution export (40 in total).  Finally, the last queued export is a MPEG DVD file for Encore.
    The issue is that when I start the queue, the first thing AME does is conform the ENTIRE SEQUENCE'S AUDIO (not just the clip).  Then it starts the export.  On my computer (Core i7-2600, 24GB RAM), it takes over 15 minutes to conform a 60 minute sequence (the CFA ends being close to 2GB).  While it's conforming the CPU load never goes above 10%.  The export starts for the first clip and that takes less than 90 seconds with all 8 cores pegged at 100% and the GPU over 50%.
    Then AME startes the conforming AGAIN FOR THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE instead of re-using the CFA file it just conformed!
    Why doesn't it re-use the CFA file?  Or, why does it conform the entire sequence if all I'm exporting is a portion?
    And why isn't conforming a multi-threaded process?
    At this rate, it will take all night and consume close to 50 GB of disk space in CFA files.
    Here is what my queue looks like:

    Actually, I think it's working as designed when it conforms upon export.  See the online help HERE.
    It says, in part:
    Premiere Pro does conform audio in uncompressed clips when you use them in sequences with non-matching sample rates. However no conforming is done until you export the sequences or create audio preview files.
    The audio in my Canon MXF file is uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM, so when I bring in the MXF files all PPr does is create PEK files.  This is really nice since I don't have to wait for conforming to begin editing.  Creating PEK files is really fast compared to conforming.  There is a caviat, though...
    The max file size from my camera is about 2GB.  Anything longer will span multiple files.  If I copy the contents of the CF card from the camera to my computer, the browse to the files using PPr, it will find all the spanned clips and interpret them as one longer video file.  Not problem, and that's how it's supposed to work.  BUT, since PPr is treating all these spanned files as one longer video clip, it WILL conform the audio.
    So to speed things up, I just bring in all the spanned files separately, then sort them and insert them into a sequence in order.  It works fine, and no conforming.
    My problem with AME is when it DOES finally conform, it's not re-using the CFA file.  In my particular case, I'm taking one long sequence and exporting different portions of it as separate exports.  I would think that AME would conform the whole sequence once, then re-use it.  But no, it sees each as a separate export, so each export gets its own identical (but different named) CFA file.
    So now my current workflow is:
    Import in all the video as separate MXF files.
    Import audio from digital recorder (house audio).
    Mark the clapper sync points on the video and audio files.
    Add video clips to a sequence in ascending order
    Add to the sequence the audio track and align the sync markers
    Balance the audio tracks with the mixer
    Create a new sequence
    Add to the new sequence the first sequence
    Render and replace audio so I can get a waveform (it helps find edit points) and conformed audio
    Add titles as needed
    Edit the timeline, transitions, add Encore chapters, etc.
    Export clips to AME queue
    Save early and save often!

  • Exporting anamorphc

    I have the sequence settings as 720x480 with the anamorphic box checked in the sequence settings. The video looks correct in FCP but as soon as I export it using the current settings, it is changed to a squished 4:3, which looks awful.
    If I change the sequence settings to HD 16:9, it shrinks the whole picture down and that is definitely not right either.
    What am I doing wrong that it won't stay 16:9 when I export it into QT?
    I'm all out of ideas.

    What am I doing wrong that it won't stay 16:9 when I export it into QT?
    For what it's worth, you're not doing anything wrong - this is a frequent issue with those new to anamorphic video and how QT/FCP handle it.
    Currently, FCP writes the QT file in such a way that it's not, by default, being displayed as square pixels. Instead, it's being displayed as 1:1 mapping of video pixels, hence the distorted appearance (after all, if you do the math, 720:480 isn't 16:9).
    That said, the fix is easy: set QuickTime 7 Pro's Conform Aperture setting to Clean. (Press Command-J, or go to Window > Show Movie Properties, from the menubar, to get to the screen in the link)
    By default, FCP leaves this property off and once you set it to Clean, it should pop to a displayed size of 853x480. But remember, that is only a displayed size in QuickTime Player - the pixel count is still 720x480. If you import your QT into DVDSP (or Motion) it will be read - correctly - as 720x480.

  • Audio Drops Out Randomly

    I'm having a problem where audio randomly drops out during playback of videos in the viewer.  I'll be watching a video clip, and then out of nowhere the audio will just stop.  Sometimes if I click stop and play again, the audio returns.  Sometimes the audio never comes back until I restart the program even if I change video clips.  I never have this problem when viewing sequences though.  It only happens when I'm previewing clips before adding them to my sequence so when it gets really bad I end up adding all the potential video clips to the sequence before trimming and arranging them just so I can hear the sound.
    This consistently happens to me on my Macbook Pro and my Windows 8 PC both running the most up-to-date version of Premiere Pro CS6.  All of the video content I'm working with is in AVCHD format.  The Macbook is a 2008 pre-unibody model with OS 10.8, 4 GB RAM, a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor, and an NVidia 128 MB video card.  The PC is running Windows 8 with 16 GB RAM, a 2 GB video card, and an Intel I7 processor with 3.4 GHz.

    In the Premiere Pro help file it states:
    Conforming audio
    Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the sequence sample rate. This processing assures maximum editing performance and audio quality. Premiere Pro conforms certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the sequence sample rate. If conforming is required, it is done when a file is imported into a project for the first time. Conforming takes some time and disk space. A progress bar appears at the lower right of the Premiere Pro window when conforming begins. Premiere Pro saves conformed audio in CFA audio preview files. You can determine where to save these audio preview files by specifying a Scratch Disk location for Audio Previews in the Project Settings dialog box.
    You can work with audio files, even applying effects to them, before they are fully conformed. However, you can preview only the parts of the files that have been conformed. You cannot hear unconformed sections on playback.
    These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:
    See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS9FAF538A-BEE3-4925-B45A-DF8BE7F2A2E5.ht ml#WS00AF9E2E-9F99-4aff-8961-1E2F30E9ECCC
    It doesn't hurt to look at the Prmiere Pro help files once in a while to learn various processes, etc.
