GOP pattern is different in Droplet from Compressor

I always use GOP structure IP and GOP size 6 for my compression. Other settings are: Average Bit Rate: 7.7 and Max 9.0. Motion estimation Best two pass VBR. When I make a droplet of these settings I get the information in the droplet: Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure IBBP but in Compressor it is IPPPPP. Why is this difference ?

I think I have found what is wrong. My setting is from previous versions of Compressor and I did what you did made a new one and then the GOP structure was right.

  • How do I create a 5.1 surround droplet from Compressor?

    In the compressor manual it specifically suggests that the user create a droplet in order to automate the process of encoding and combining split surround files.
    "Assigning Files to Surround Sound Channels with Droplets
    You can further streamline the channel assignment process by encapsulating the “automatic” method described above in a Droplet."
    It also suggests a file-naming scheme to use so that Compressor automatically recognizes and properly assigns each file to the proper track in the 5.1 mix.
    No matter what I try, however, the droplets I create in an effort to do this refuse to accept the input files I provide them. The droplets allow me to drag in virtually any audio file (mono, stereo, even 5.1 surround), BUT if those input source files contain any of the character strings that the manual suggests to use, ie. "-L", "-R", "-LFE", etc., it will not let me add them to the source file queue. If I remove these suffixes from the files (although they are followed by file-type suffixes, such as "aiff", like they should be), then I can drag the files into the droplet queue without any difficulties whatsoever, but then, I presume, Compressor has no way of properly assigning these tracks in the output file, so changing the file names is inimical to my objective.
    Has anyone done this? I feel like I've tried everything. If I drag the same properly named files into the batch window in the Compressor app itself, it recognizes them any without difficulty and labels the batch as "surround". I have an enormous number of split surround files, however, and I don't want to have to drag each set into the Compressor window manually. I want to automate the process using a Droplet, just like the manual suggests!
    I've already posted in the Compressor 4 forum (which is what I'm using), and haven't received any responses yet so I figured I give this forum a try.

  • ?How to import droplet into compressor 4.1

    Hey guys,
    I exported a droplet from Compressor 4.1 on a different machine, now I can't import it into my 4.1. I've done this in the past and now I can't get it to work, what do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    Hi Russ,
    I have the droplet on both machines. It was made on Computer A, and I was then able to import the droplet back in to compressor as a custom setting on Computer A. When I brought the droplet over to Computer B, it won't let me import it into compressor as a custom setting, it only lets me use it as a droplet. It's not the worst of all things, but I like having it as a custom setting so I can set it as a destination in FCP X.
    I hope that cleared things up.

  • Crap results from Compressor?

    Crap results from Compressor?
    Okay, I've been pulling my hair out for a week now. All I can manage is really crap MPEG2 encodes from Compressor.
    They look blocky, their is 'line twitter' 'artifacting' and other crap in the picture.
    I'm a fussy bugger, but this is ridiculous; Compressor is just doing a really crap job no matter how I set it up.
    If anyone can recommend an ultimate Compressor setting or even a Superior encoding programme (I've tried Episode Pro and that ***** too) I'd really appreciate it as I must get this job signed off and back the client now.
    I'm using native 1080p/25p footage from Sony XDCAM HD camcorders set at highest quality 35Mbps HQ HD setting.
    In FCP it is being edited natively at the same 1080p/25p settings, then saved as a 'reference movie' then I open Compressor and bring that 'reference' movie in.
    Oh, I've tried exporting directly from FCP to Compressor, but I have no idea where Compressor is putting the final files when it has finished encoding them, I've looked everywhere and can't find where Compressor is sticking them, hence I have to make a reference movie in FCP and work with that.
    In Compressor my settings are as follows:
    Best Quality: 90 Mins 16:9.
    Two Pass VBR Best.
    Open GOP at 6 frames.
    Average bitrate: 7.5 with max at 8.2.
    GOP Structure: IP.
    Gamma filter: 1.1.
    I've watched the DVD called "The Art of Encoding Using Compressor" from Ripple Training and have tried all their settings too; but no matter what I do, the results suck; big time.
    There are artifacts, blocking, line-twitter and on one panning shot of a glider landing the grass is simply a total mess of motion artifacts and is hardly even recognizable as actual grass.
    I've tried loads of combination of GOP being Open, Closed, different bitrates with averages from 3 to 6, different GOP structures of IP. IPB... etc and nothing will render me a nice clean MPEG2 file that is razor sharp with zero artifacting.
    I'm about to give up on Compressor totally; unless somebody can point out if I'm just missing something here.
    Perhaps Compressor just hates XDCAM HD footage?
    Maybe Compressor just can't downconvert from HD to SD without totally screwing it up?
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated guys as this (as you can get from my tone) is really getting me down now.
    All this was shot on a camera/lens combo that cost over £20,000, but by the time Compressor screws it up it looks like a cheap £1000 camera from the local electrical store.
    Please, Please help!
    Thanks all

    This thread relates to HDV, but maybe some of the issues are the same. Some people have claimed there's a field order problem which, if true and if applicable to your case, might be causing some of your problems.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to one computer?

    How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to 1 computer?
    Can you keep it from creating duplicates?  These libraries have some duplicates.
    How do you deal with duplicates? 
    I'm talking 50GB. 
    All computers are authorized. 
    THANKS for any suggestions.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

    May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
    I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

    Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
    The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.

  • How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

    Hi,
    We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019.  But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
    Thanks in Advance,

    You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
    This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
    Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

  • How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me.

    How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.

    Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:

    Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone?  Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

    Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

  • IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
    did you use a different id to buy the app?
    you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

  • Ipod plays a different file (audiobook) from the one selected.

    I have a mystery. let me start by saying i have done all the standard stuff all the way up to wiping and reinstalling the ipod.
    I have about 8 audio books (short stories for the kids to listen to) and when I select one to play it always plays a different audio book from the one I select. it happens to all the audio books. It never happens to music and never happens when I play the file through a different directory than the audio book directory (i.e. go to the artist's listing and select the author's name).
    So weird - I can work around it but would love a solution so the kids can pick books to listen to themselves.
    any ideas?

    Yes...but do I do that in the TableModelListener ?
    This is what I've tried in the TableModelListener:
    public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e)
             System.out.println(e.getSource());
               if(e.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE)
                    TableModel model = stdTablewCombo.getModel();
                    int row = e.getFirstRow();
                    this.cellValue = ((String)model.getValueAt(row, 0));
                    if (cellValue != null)
                         this.selectedIndex = this.stdComboBox.getSelectedIndex();
                          System.out.println("Selected Index:" + this.selectedIndex);
                          if (this.selectedIndex >= 0)
                             String valueToSet = this.lovStringB[this.selectedIndex];
                             model.setValueAt(valueToSet, row, 0);
                          else
                               System.out.println("Value in cell is not from List");
                          }It returns the selectedIndex value allright.
    It sets the value of valueToSet string allright.
    it also does the model.setValueAt allright....but this triggers a tableChanged event and it goes back up - this is also fine. However, when it now comes back to the this.selectedIndex = , this again returns the index of the original selection and not a -1 (for values not in the ComboBox list). This makes it go into an infinite loop and gives me a StackOverflowError.
