H.264 from AE 2014

Did I seriously just read that you won't be able to export h.264 from After Effects 2014?
After Effects Help | New features summary- at the very bottom under miscellaneous features.
You cannot export to the following formats in the 2014 version of After Effects CC. However, you can still import these file formats into After Effects.
FLV/F4V
MPEG-2
H.264
WMV
SWF
Huh? What?

I'm encoding at 640x360. I usually use profile level 4.1, but this is only going to be directed towards software not hardware. There are work arounds to this, lots of them. Like encoding using Quicktime Animation codec and then re-encoding to Quicktime H.264 out of PP CS4, Sorenson Squeeze, or even Quicktime itself. All will work well. But the thing is that a person shouldn't have to go through a two-step work around like this. You want to maintain quality but Animation files are relatively huge. (By the way, its funny how PP CS4 has no problem exporting QT H.264).
How would I use Adobe Media encoder directly? Just drop the project from AE into the queue?

How to make compressor give me 1280x720 h.264 from my 1440 x 1080 sequenc

can someone please tell me how to make compressor give me 1280x720 h.264 from my 1440 x 1080 sequence, with compressor I load up my high defition h.264 but i cant see where i can chage the size, I can tab on the preset and change max bit rates and other stuff but not to make it 1280 x 720,
Thanks for the help,
Daz

In Compressor 3's Settings window:
Apple > Apple Devices > H.264 for Apple TV
this is one of the presets that is supplied as standard and it is pre-configured for H.264 1280x720 output
if you're building your preset from scratch then you can set the output frame size in the Dimensions area of the Geometry pane

Publishing H.264 from capture card

Hi,
I know the standard live publishing flow for DVR is:
Capture card (Raw video sample)>>>>>> FMLE >>>>>> FMS
The problem is, the capture card output the video sample as raw format, and the FMLE do the encoding job. It increases the load of the CPU.
What I am thinking is:
Some capture cards do not support DirectShow output filter but it provide a native interface to get the encoded H.264 from the card.
The capture card can encode the video into H.264 by the clips on the card and there is no cost on CPU
then if I can publish the encoded H.264 from card to FMS in my program. that will not increase the CPU load.
Capture card (H.264) >>>>>> my App >>>>>>> FMS
How to send the H.264 frames to FMS?
Open a video channel then send the H.264 frames one by one?
And what client / library should I use?
Adobe RTMP SDK, how much does the lisence cost? my project is just a tiny one and we can't pay much on it.
Then the only choice is Red5 RTMPClient?
THank you

Yes you need to push data to FMS via RTMP - so you would have to use RTMP SDK for it. I dont know much about Red5 client.
As far cost of RTMP SDK is concerned - again i don't have the data , but i can ask someone to get in touch with you if you are really intrested. In that case drop in mail to me at [email protected] with your contact details

Exporting H.264 from Premiere

I hope you can, please, help me with this one:
How is possible to export movies in H.264 from premiere?
I tried it using the Quicktime option, but all I got was an "Error Compiling Movie" message.
Also, I can´t find any options to export movies in MPG format (which uses AVC/H.264)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Chico

I had the same problem. Not only with h.264 but couldn't export quicktime at all without getting the "Error Compiling Movie" message.
Reinstalled Quicktime (Pro) and made no difference...Didn't have time to troubleshoot further so I exported avi uncompressed and sent it off and got on with my life. I don't have to do much with quicktime so its not a big deal for me but I sure would love to know why it won't work for me...

Getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

i solve my red frame problem. originally my project was done in premiere pro cc 2014.2 & i render in Encoder cc 2014. in newer version i get lots of red frames. i complain a lot to adobe customer support . they said they know the issues but they couldn't solve. I was so tired from adobe customer support. one of the worse customer services i had. My friend got the mac pro & e got premiere pro cc 7.2 version. i convert all my footage mxf to mp4 in encoder cc 7.2 version and i succeed. i don't get any red frames.
So i think the problem is in adobe encoder cc 2014.2 version. newer version.

Will there be any (big) updates regarding Illustrator CC from September 2014 untill May 2015?

Hello. I'm new at this forum. I hope someone can help me out with the questions I have.
This year (from September 2014 untill May 2015) I'll be gratuating at the University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. I'm currently employed during the time period mentioned for creating a course Illustrator CC.When writing down the risks for my future project I came to the conclusion that for me it is really important to know if there will be any significant (big) updates regarding Illustrator CC in this time frame.
For example:
     - Will there be any tools in the program that will not be used anymore?
     - Will there be any tools that will be made (even) better?
     - Will there be any extra tools added to Illustrator?
Should you have any information regarding these questions or links to a blog(s) where I can find this information your help would be very much appreciated.
I'm sure you will understand that I'd rather not make an outdated course so I'm trying to avoid major failure developing a video-course that has any old tools used in it.
Thank you in advance.

based on history...
     - Will there be any tools in the program that will not be used anymore? - No
     - Will there be any tools that will be made (even) better? - very unlikely
     - Will there be any extra tools added to Illustrator? - probably, not guaranteed.

Can you down save from CC (2014) to CS6?

Can you down save from CC (2014) to CS6?

CS6 and CC both work on Mavericks. You should be able to download both if you don't have them installed. If you have them installed and they're not launching, perhaps there's an issue we can fix.
But the only way to go to CS6 from CC 2014 is to save down to CC and then open in CC and save down to CS6.

Export to FLV / F4V from CC 2014

After updating from PrPro CC to PrPro CC 2014 (or rather from MediaEncoder CC to MediaEncoder CC 2014 i guess) the options to export your sequence to F4V and FLV has vanished.
• Am I the only one missing that option?
• Is there a work-around?
A: No, I was apparently not the only one... See this AME-thread: AME 2014 flv missing
B: Well, besides keeping the previous version of AME alongside the new one, it seems that switching to the H.264 format is the way to go.

I wasn't, but after some tinkering I've found a couple of issues. After reverting back to the NTSC DV preset and modifying from there, it'll generate the error when I try to set it for a CBR of 15 Mbps. Anything below that is fine. Also when trying to use MATCH SOURCE, it errors out until you uncheck Profile and Level. The video playback server I send clips to is rather picky, so I try to give it as easy of a file as possible.. CBR and 1 GOP seems to make it rather happy. All of those work, except the 15 Mbps CBR. It's an annoyance but one I can work around for now.
I'll submit a bug report to Adobe and see what they say.

ICloud Photo Library (Beta) - Can't view older photos from before 2014

Hi All,
I turned on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5s. These two phones had different sets of photos at the time. After the synch process completed the two phones now show the same photos. However, only the photos from 2014 are visible on both phones.
Interestingly, if I go to iCloud -> Storage -> Manage Storage -> iCloud Photo Library -> I can see that more photos have been stored than are visible. Storage reports 2600 photos, but I can only view 1800 through the photos application.
I'm hoping this is simply a Beta bug and my photos have not been lost. With luck they will become visible after a future update.
I'm curious if anyone from Apple can confirm this is a known limitation of the Beta. Or if anyone from the community has seen this same behavior.
Thanks

I really wish I could like iPhoto, but I don't know what in the world it is doing, and by locking me out of the Finder access to the iPhoto folder and doing things like duplicating photos without my asking, I've lost trust in this piece of software.
First thing is: It's a Photo manager. That's the basic key thing you need to grasp. Your photo is not the same thing as the file that contans it. That's why Finder access is not relevant. Import the Photo, manipulate the photo - losslessly - and then if you want to use the Photo in a document, upload it, whatever, put it into a new file designed for that purpose.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
So as long as you're hanging on to the idea that Photo=Jpeg iPhoto is never going to work for you.
If you're willing to let go of that - as you do with Addresses, as you do in iMovie, Lightroom, Final Cut, APerture - then you can begin to make sense of iPhoto too.

Premiere Pro wish list from CC 2014.2 (Feel free to complete !)

After a lot of projects in Pr since the CS6 version, here are my wish list for next updates. Feel free to complete it !
NEW FUNCTIONS FOR PR
Copy / Paste audio track FX (audio track mix view)
Ability to rearrange order of audio track FX
Missing plugin information : when a plugin or an FX is missing to open a project, it's impossible to know which clip is concerned and where to find it.
Ability to search and effect : I'd like to have the ability to search all the clips that are using "warp stabiliser" for example in my timeline / project.
Ability to remove 1 type of FX in a selection of clips. Actually we can only remove all the FX or not
Ability to temporary disable all FX / transformations on timeline / specified track. Like AE with his "fx" button on layer.
Change the standard label color names with STANDARD names (red, green, yellow). I know it's possible to do it but please do it by default.
Ability to change the color background of the source / program monitor to something not black. When a black or near black video is played, we can't simply find the border of this video.
NEW FUNCTIONS FOR MEDIA ENCODER
Ability to add text in the file name in regard of the encoding format. If I encode a timeline named "FILM" in my H.264 preset I'd like AME to automatically name the file "FILM_H264_1080p25" or whatever.
BUG FIX
Fix the timecode bug on frame holds. When frame hold is applied to a clip, the timecode displayed (program overlay) continues running. Worse : if this frame hold is trimmed from the beginning or the end, the time code shift... Making a conformation impossible !!
Fix the speed effect on clip. When a 400% speed effect is applied to a clip, it sometimes do 399.xx % speed effects. It's confirmed by precomp to an AE comp. AE is also showing a wrong value...
Lumetri FX is dissapering when a clip is precomp to an AE comp from Pr.
Missing font warning : when a font is missing, Pr does not tell which clip is concerned and simply replace with another font !

Those are all great suggestions. Here's my list.
FR: Instant AutoSave
FR: Project Specific Cache
FR: Proper Timewarp
FR: Background Rendering
FR: Global Templates for Titles
FR: Multiple Bin Views
FR: More Useful Properties
FR: Reference Monitor Live Update
FR: JPEG 2000 Preview Format

Is there a maximum possible bitrate for h.264 (from DV iMovie)?

Hello,
I have a DV file (a iMovie project) that is 8,76GB big. I want to burn it on a 8,5GB Dual Layer DVD. So I choose 23000kbit/s as video bitrate for h.264 (audio AAC 320kbit/s). The result was a file of 5,44GB (17Mbit/s). When I then tried 26000kbit/s the result was the same.
I the chose "best quality" and bitrate set to "automatic". The result was a 5,77GB file.
So, I wondered, if there is a limit in iMovieHD'05 for the bitrate chosen with h.264.
I have a very slow Mac, so I can't just test everything through, so here is my second question: would handbrake )last version for 10.5) be able to output a h.264 file with a bitrate of 23000kbit/s?
Another topic: I heard you can encode a DV file to mpeg2 with Toast Titanium, which I have. How do I do that, when I drop the VD file on it and choose compress and save as image, I get a video file of 8kb and an audio file of 4kb, when I open it and want to burn it, it starts compressing it again.
Thanks in advance.

sure did iMHD5 export as DV!
That's its 'native' format, iMovie-a (≤v.6) was a dv-editor by concept.-
there is no 'smaller' bitrate in DV - dv is a very straight codec, by standard 13GBs/h - done.
and for sure you can save larger files than >4GB on a fat32 formated media - I'm doing so 'daily' some of my cheap sport-cameras use fat32-SDCards, recording 2h continously, creating a bunch of files.. on import, those files get 'consolidated' by the edit software.
again: just drag'n drop your precious material on a stick - done.
... it is less complicated than you make it think.
You did not understand the sentence iMovie does not export DV in smaller bitrates. That means, it exports DV, but only in the maximum bitrate of 57MBit/s (as told by QT, when you open a DV file, that you exported from iMovie).
Also, you must be using a System that can read FAT32+. FAT32 (without the "+") can only write up to 4GB. I use Tiger (10.4.11).
I did knew, that FAT32 can only take 4GB big files and I forgot and tried to copy a 9GB file once and it did not work, so I know for sure. Not just since this thread.
Is there any other way than drag and drop files in OS X (I do it that way since OS 9 in 2001)?
I am not as stupid as you make me feel think.
I read up on Toast again and there you can force Toast to fit a DVD file that is bigger than 8,5GB to a 8,5GB DVD. (I just did not want to let Toasts crappy compressor do it, but instead use h.264 for minimum quality loss, even if the human eye can't tell. The source is analog SD material btw.).

Exporting video quicktime h.264 from .avi has no sound

Hi,
I am on CS4 extended.
I am trying to export an avi video to a quictime h.264 video and I have no sound.
Although I did that and having sound, I dont know why it stopped suddenly.
I recorded something in the same time with cam studio. May be that's why.
So I shutted down the computer and reopened it.
Same problem.
Someone has a clue?
Thanks for your attention,
JP

JP,
I do not have my CS5 Extended handy, so will go from the Premiere Pro (Adobe's video editor) side of the street. Bear with me on this, as PS-Extended might do things a bit differently.
When one is Exporting an AV file, there are two things that must be set:
Exporting both Audio & Video (in PrPro, these are done via checkboxes in the Export>General dialog screen)
Then, one must set Multiplexing * on the Export>Multiplexing dialog screen, to anything but "None." The choice is usually "DVD."
It's the Multiplexing Tab, that many miss. If set to None, then there will be two separate Export files - one for the Video stream, and one for the Audio stream.
Hope that gets you close, and sorry that I cannot open things up, and give you the exact screens and tabs in PS-Extended.
Hunt
* Multiplexing is the combining of both the Audio & Video streams into a single, discrete file. Multiplexing is usually OFF by default, though in PrPro, it's a "sticky," in that it retains the last setting, so if the user wishes to make a change, they must do so manually, and that setting will then stick, until changed again. The Export of separate files for Audio & Video is most often used, when one is doing the Export to go to a DVD, or BD authoring program, like Adobe Encore. It works best with elemental streams, rather than muxed files, and especially with MPEG Audio.

Green frames when exporting from CC 2014

Hello. I just updateted to the newest edition of premiere pro(aswell as all the other CC software i have installed which includes phoshop,speedgrade,audition,ame, and after effects). So the versions of the software are the very latest.
My computer is late2013 macbook pro with nvidia graphics card, and i have all the system updates installed, nothing special going on.
Heres the issue:
When exporting the project, i get random green frames, full green frames. Complitely randomly, no pattern whatsoever.
My workflow have been this: Footage shot with two Sony cameras and i have encoded all the materials to mxf format with one step earlier AME version. I started the project with one step earlier premiere, and i have already done 19 out of 23 sequences that project contains, no problem at all with earlier version of ame&premiere. Now i updated to the latest 2014 cc and these green frames started to pop out randomly. I have not used any plugins or effects, only premieres own threeway colorcorrector and bightness&contrast. Parts of the clip have transparent black video as textbackground with crop effect applied and basic textlayer from premieres own text editor. I have exported few grpahics from aftereffects (both the lates and the one step earlier version) to proress 4444 format as RGP+alpha. And im exporting with using youtube SD widescreen 360p settings, nothing changed. Again, everything worked perfectly before update.
things i have tried sofar:
delete caches both manually and from each software
normal boot
pram reset
safeboot
update check
export XML from 2014 cc and import to earlier premiere -> no luck, things got messed up somehow
made a copy of both project files, i compared and changed some version number from 27 -> 26 so i could open the project in earlier premiere -> no luck (this worked back in cs6 time when i had to import cs6 project to cs5.5)
Kinda running out of time, so rest of the night im going to spend re-editing those sequences i have done today with newer version of premiere. Will adobe pay for me for these extra hours, i think my client wont approve one extraediting day(night becaus of the schedule, these must be ready tomorrow with no green frames) because of software problem?
Ask anything you want, i'm 100% sure this is not user error since everything was fine with one step earlier premiere version. I will copy&paste this to the bugreport too.
Thanks

Temporary solution for this was "export xml" after all. I had to disable all graphics and textlayers and delete colorcorrections, and flatten multicam, so i had to redo all grading ja graphics stuff in older premiere after importin FCP xml. But got the work done in time. Won't use cc 2014 in near future unless someone figures out what is wrong with green frames. (well actually now im exporting from older AME, will she if the green frames pops out there too, wouldn't be too much surprised....)

Always asynchronous audio if I export an MXFop1a file with 8 channel audio from Premiere 2014.1 for delivery to XDCam HD U1 Sony.

I try now for hours to export an MXF op1a with 8 channel audio from Premiere CC2014.1 and with AME 2014.1 to copy the file on my XDCam drive u1 to a disc.
The file is always asynchronous after 20 or 30 minutes. The project is synchronous and also other codecs are synchronous if I export them. So I think it's a bug...
I use the newest Sony XDCam drivers. Also parts with no audio can't be render with intelligent render. If I use this option, Premiere or AME crashes...
I work on a mac system with 10.8.5 OSX.
Does anybody have the same problems or any ideas to solve my problem...
Best regards,
Florian

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.
