Good export settings for Mpeg stremeclip

Hi I could not find a quicktime section so i am posting this hear.
Ok I posted a few weeks ago about converting a lot of mpeg2 clips for editing in iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Well I just got some more clips but these are not going on DVD.
Ok I want an export setting that will either make the video smaller or as big as the mpeg file. I want it in mov format. I want good de interlacing. I also want the quality to be a little blurred not much. You see these movies used a bad camera so the lighting was poor and the video is kinda pixelated. So i want it smoothened out.

[Forum: Quicktime for Mac OS|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=932]
However, if you are doing this with MPEG Streamclip you should really ask this question on their forums as yo will get many more users who are familiar with encoding with MPEG Streamclip. Usually third party software questions are referred to the party's own support forums.

  • Still cant find good export settings for clean blacks/fades...

    I have been a professional videographer for years now working full time and STILL dont have default export settings that will give me nice clean footage. If its just straight footage without any fades to black, cc, or that kind of thing then im just fine. but in my current project i fade to black a couple times and fade back into my footage to create dramatic pauses, but the fades are always very pixelated, and if i darken footage, i can never get clean blacks, even if my iso is at zero, i always get tons of artifacts in my export even though it looks fine in my viewer before export.
    im using a 7d with cs6 and have done tons of searching for people's export settings and have tried all of what ive found but none have helped. mostly i hear h.264 for codec and target/max bitrate at 5-10 / 10-30.. lots of variation there but either way, nothing works. doesnt matter what level i put it at, even at 5.1..
    looking for export setting for a clean master cut thats not going to be 7gb for a 1 minute thing that will play back on my computer..
    to make it short - how do i export to get clean blacks/dark areas and smooth fades?? THANKS

    >My movies are in native MOD files. I convert em by simply changing the extension to mpg
    You are starting with compressed files... and then you compress again... that is a DOUBLE hit on quality
    You might try some other software (no, I don't know which one) to edit your files and export without re-compressing

  • Imovie08 export settings for good quality

    I'm using iMovie08 with my Canon HF100 but cannot find the best export settings for my MP4-files. The exported movie needs to run on my PS3 and my macbook. I want to export in 720p and 1080p format, using H.256 and ACC, but I'm not sure what bitrate to use for my movies to get acceptable quality. Tried using 5000k for 720p but that left me with lots of compression artifacts.
    Any hints?

    For 1080p try unlimited bitrate or a minimum of 16000.

  • Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

    Hi all,
    I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
    My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
    I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
    I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
    I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
    And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
    This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
    So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

    Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
    http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
    Roughly, the answer is:
    Quicktime container
    Video codec: H.264
    Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
    Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
    Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
    Audio codec: AAC
    Output channels: Stereo
    Frequency: 48kHz
    Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
    Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
    Bitrate: 8000
    Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
    One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
    The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • Import/Export Settings for Canon T4i Video

    Hey folks,
    I'm new to Premiere and loving it, but I'm wondering what the best sequence settings, as well as export settings, will be for video captured from my Canon Rebel T4i camera.
    I prefer to shoot either in 1080p with 24 fps, or 720p at 60 fps––what settings within premiere should I use when setting up my project, and what are some good export options for Youtube/Vimeo?

  • FCE-HD export settings for slideshow

    Hey dear specialists,
    I need to have a help for the export settings for a slideshow
    I am using FCE-HD 4.01 on either MacBookPro with Mountain Lion or on my old G5 with 10.6
    Input are slides in JPEG with 15MByte Pixel.
    As soon as I am using transition of a picture the result in export in all setting I can choose from FCE, which I found out is very bad, because picture has the interlacing effects at the borders
    What can I change to get a good result
    Thanks in advance for the feedbacks
    Best regards

    N.b.:  screenshot abstract >>>> see right hand video lines

    Hey Russ,
    the video rate of the object does not change when I manipulate on the easy setting
    If I import pictures, I do this directly from pircture folder into the BIN, and that should be independently from video input setting
    The frame rate should also not be a problem for me here in Germany, because working directly from MAC to flatscreen
    I put you a screenshot of the new sequence
    The Mov output looks not that bad, even if one looks into detail see picture attached, the steps between one and next frame creates problems
    I try also to send you the latest version of a slide transiltion example in iPhone quality ( this can not be attached ) it is a 2MB file. If you like I send you by email.
    looks a bit improved vs the morning, but I do not feel confident.
    What do you think?

  • FCE export settings for higher quality video

    Hello. I'm a self-schooled newspaper video features producer and relative newcomer to Final Cut Express, shifting from Premium Elements. I've just begun using it to upload videos to my newspaper's finicky web system, which will only accept .flv files of a certain size. My modus operandi has been to export my videos as large .avi files, using Quicktime conversion and DV/DVCPRO/NTSC, with medium quality, with 16 bit sound set at 32 Khz. Then I run that .avi through the Adobe Flash Media Encoder with a frame rate of 15 fps, deinterlacing and resizing the screen to 640 by 480. This procedure (outlined by our former video editor) produces serviceable web quality video (You can see video that results from using these settings at http://wvgazette.com/multimedia). So, two questions: 1) I have created an 8-minute FCE music video for my band and wish to export it at a higher quality (for use on Vimeo) than these newspaper settings. Which of them do I change so that a higher quality video results without waiting all night for a massive file to upload? 2) And wthere might I turn for guidance on better understanding the Sanskrit of FCE video export settings for newbies? Thanks for any help.

    The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
    1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
    2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
    3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
    Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
    Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
    Is that too big?

    QT animation gives also bad look.

  • Export settings for high quality, high resolution screen cast

    I am trying to use iMovie for editing some software demo screen casts, and while my movie looks dandy in iMovie shown full screen, my final export looks like there is a lot of compression and antialiasing going on.
    I am starting with a 1920X1080 screen capture via iShowU HD Pro, using Animation as the compression type. For final output I am using the Export using QuickTime option, and I have tried MPEG-4 at Best Quality, H.264 with Best Quality Compression and Multi-pass Encoding, and both look pretty bad. Anyone have any recommendations on the best export settings for a screen cast? Especially one that I would ultimately like to make available cross platform as well as via iTunes?
    Thanks,

    I understand iMovie 6 won't compress the import. Everyone complained when apple changed away from iMovie 6 and but a link to download ILife6 (no cost) but they have since removed the link.

  • I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How can I get these back?

    I accidentally threw a folder in the trash. I got a lot of stuff back using Data Rescue, but not everything.
    I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How and Can I get these back? tia

    Sorry for the delay in response. It sounds like you have somehow deleted your quicktime ProKit with the codecs by what ever process you were trying to restore  you trashed files.
    Go to the Apple Menu > System Updates and see if the updater sees a need to install them.
    If this doesn't work - it might be
    the best thing to do would be to get FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free)
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    and try to remove all traces of your corrupt installation and then do a clean install from your original disks, followed by updates to restore the new ProKit codecs.
    If your system has been corrupted by whatever you did, it might be best to wipe the drive and start from scratch - but understood this is not a pleasant choice.
    Other posters may have different or better suggestions. The FCS Pro Apps require a lot of files and file structure that may or may not be apparent, and were never drag and drop installable. They always needed to be installed with the proper installer.

  • Best export settings for video for web

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

    For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
    be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
    available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
    that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
    guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward
    video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
    Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
    help!!

  • Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

    I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
    Hello,
    I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7.  Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc.   But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
    The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
    This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed.  As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec.   I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD.  I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000.  My audio is set at AAC.
    It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline.  I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export.  The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
    NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
    I could really use could some wisdom today!
    Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

  • Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

    I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
    Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
    I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

    You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
    The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
    Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.
