H.264 rendering

Hi
I'm such a beginner with this software and I've a problem rendering my project : I can't choose the H.264 format.
What did I miss?
Thanks for your help !

  • No QT h.264 Rendering at all from my PC CS6

    I cannot get ANY Quicktime  h.264 renders.  Tried Cuda on Cuda Off. AME export of cued.  New motherboard.  Win 7 Ult.  Clean install.  Everything is updated. Nvidia CX card.  Plenty of Ram.  Driving me crazy. 
    MB:Supermicro X8DA3 2.01
    2.80 gigahertz Intel Xeon (2 installed)64-bit ready
    Multi-core (12 total)
    Hyper-threaded (24 total)

    The problem is my router at work. The cable modem feeds it, then the router sends everything to corporate who then networks our 10 pcs.
    Tne solution is puttting a router/splitter on the feed from the modem, then doing a home run to my mac. BTW plugging the modem directly into my MBP had me flying and downloading/streaming QT without a hitch. Hope this helps someone!

  • Hard stuttering occurring in H.264 renders out of AE CS5

    Hi There,
    This problem just started ocurring, and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem.  It may be related to some OSX upgrade, but it is incredibly annoying. 
    I have a 60 second animation with most of the source footage being Targa sequences that I exported out of my 3D graphics application.  When I RAM preview my final composition in AE, everything looks great, syncing is fine, etc.   However, when I render the composition with the H.264 codec, and play it back on Quicktime there is an extreme amount of stuttering all throughout the animation--during fast moving parts and slow moving parts.  I've done some reading online here and at Creative Cow and most people say its related to the codec, but it just started ocurring.  I've rendered out to H.264 without this issue.  I'm wondering if there was a switch I set that is causing the problem?  Has anybody ever experienced this with H.264?  When I render out to Animation it's okay, but I simply cannot deliver that file to my client for review since it is so hefty.
    Has anybody come across this issue?  I'm running OSX Lion 10.7.3 with 8GB of RAM with a 2.66Ghz Intel Core i7. 
    Thank you for you time and help!

    RAM preview is not comressed to H.264 so of course it willplay perfectly.
    H.264 is REALLY compressed but playing it back requires some beefy processor, especially if you're trying to do full 1080HD. As Dave says, go to Aniation and use AME to do the transcode. This has many benefits but mostly you're using a compressor applicaiton to do the compressing. And you have a completely perfect copy of the project form which you can create new copies in any codec or format. You cannot easily , for instance, use AME to move form the H.264 to WMV.
    Brings up another question: why are you using H.264 at all? I'm asking because 90% of the answers we see to that question are incorrect from a technical point of view and inappropriate from a workflow POV.

  • MainConcept announces CUDA-based h.264 encoding from the timeline for CS5

    For those of you interested in speeding up your h.264 rendering of the time line, using CUDA, MainConcept has announced two new products:
    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/MainConcept-Announces-Two-New-prnews-671828689.html?x=0&.v=1
    Here's the overview for the CS5-specific pack. There is a watermarked fully functional demo. Unfortunately, outputting h.264 BluRay compliant streams is not supported in this release (demo or otherwise).
    The 2nd product is an upgrade to the MC Reference, which also has the CUDA-based h.264 codec and also has a demo. The MC reference is a high-end product.
    Note, that these products are for Windows.

  • SpeedGrade renders video at half speed

    I'm a film student, am using SpeedGrade for school.
    I want to render out .mov clips for a project, but it seems to render them out too slow. When I play them in premiere, they appeared slowed down to about 50 %.
    I set my own output settings in speedgrade choosing photo-jpeg under the quicktime tab, and setting the frame rate to 25 fps to match my source material. I also clicked 'automatic color calibration' to make my clips look like they do in speedgrade. (Otherwise my exports would be washed out a little.)
    The footage on my timeline are h.264 renders from AE.
    Maybe my output settings are wrong, honestly, I have little idea of what I'm doing.

    nvm, i found the problem under settings - playback - which is set at 50 fps.
    I'll delete this thread shortly

  • Odd H.264 Compression Phenomenon

    Hello all,
    I shot a music video on a Canon 7D and decided that I wanted the look of a 16mm camera rather than the clean look that the 7D delivers. I added some film grain in post to dirty up the footage (among other things). I exported the final music video as a 1280x720 23.976 ProRes 422(HQ) file. It came out to roughly 2.3 GB.
    I am sending my final Apple Pro Res 422(HQ)file to Compressor to convert it to an H.264 for vimeo on the web. However, in this rare occurrence, the H.264 rendered out larger than the ProRes422(HQ) file at approximately 3GB total.
    My conclusion is that the film grain is giving the H.264 codec a hard time to squeeze down into a manageable size.
    Does anybody have any suggestions about how to get the file looking good, by simultaneously keeping the file under 1GB.
    Thanks-
    Chris

    I edited in 1280x720 Apple ProRes(HQ) at 23.976fps. I know the (HQ) is not needed, but my own personal paranoia gets in the way sometimes (as far as having highest quality).
    I decided to lower the resolution vs. the bit rate. Instead of delivering at 1280x720 I went to 640x360. It seems to be fine, but I'll have to tweak the grain intensity, because it disappeared slightly in the compression.
    Thanks-
    Chris

  • Is there a way to access more of my codecs to render with in AE 4.1 ?

    Hi all,
    I'm a new user using an old version of AE 4.1 on Windows 7.
    Is there a way to access more of my available codecs to render with in AE 4.1 ?
    When I go to export as an AVI file in AE 4.1 I only have the CINEPAK, DV-PAL, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC and DVCPRO-PAL codecs available as choices, and then NONE for uncompressed output.
    Yet when I render to AVI in Adobe Premiere I have the CAMSTUDIO LOSSLESS, CINEPAK, HUFFYUV, INTEL IYUV, LAGARITH LOSSLESS, MICROSOFT RLE, MICROSOFT VIDEO 1, MSU SCREEN CAPTURE LOSSLESS, x264VFW-H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and the XVID MPEG-4 codecs all available to render with.  I usually use the XVID MPEG-4 codec to render with for best quality for file size, or the LAGARITH LOSSLESS codec to render with if I need to plug a file back in to Premiere since Premiere has limited AVI file codec import capabilities.
    Why aren't the rest of my codecs available to render with in AE 4.1 ?
    The problems are (as seen in the screenshots below)...
    1) The CINEPAK codec renders the correct file format size and aspect-ratio that my project is (1280x720) but outputs an AVI file that can not be imported in to Premiere and can not be converted by two different converters.
    2) The NONE-UNCOMPRESSED option renders the correct size format file but outputs an AVI file so large (over 6 gigs) that it can not be use practically in Premiere and it will not even play in a video player.
    3) The DV-PAL, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC and DVCPRO-PAL codecs render in incorrect aspect ratio and format sizes (770x576) regardless of which aspect ratio is selected (as seen at the bottom of the screenshot below), resizing my project size and they will not import in to Premiere... these can be converted to an H.264 AVI file in one of my converters  that Premeire will then import, but they are still the wrong size and they loose sharpness if they are resized (stretched) during conversion.
    Please see the screenshots below for clarification.
    Thanks for any input,
    digi

    Wow, thanks again Andrew.  That works.
    All my codecs showing up via Composition/Make Movie.  Its weird, when I tried using the H.264 codec (Premiere likes H.264 and Lagarith Lossless), the H.264 rendered a strange 800 and something by 720 size instead of the selected and displayed 1280x720 format that the project is in and speced in the Render interface.
    But when I used the Lagarith Lossless codec, I get the right size and everything looks good at 1280x720.
    Before you wrote back, I was able to convert one of the 770x576 size DV-PAL files to H.264 via the Freemake converter, and then that imported in to my Premiere file... but that is a moot point now that I can get the correct size file with the Lagarith codec.
    I would have been able to use the converted 770x576 (properties says 720x576, but it measures out at 770x576) DV-PAL files for this project with the digital clock and get it to import in to Premiere correctly... since I could just place the clock face when blackscreened in my 1280x720 Premiere project, but now I can use the full size Lagarith rendered file for this and other projects from AE that require the full frame of composition.
    Thanks so much... your the most efficient forum guy I've ever had answer a question... no restating or misunderstanding... just pure useful answers.
    Thanks a trillion,

  • Any fix for CC render issue with the new MacPro Firepro D700.  Getting lines and flicker as documented in threads

    Hi,
    We're facing some critical problems with our new MacPros, CC, and the Firepro D700's.   It appears that after we upgraded to 10.9.3 the D700's no longer work with Creative Cloud.  Our Premiere renders are full of artifacts, lines, and drop out.   Same issue as documented in RENDER PROBLEM - AME and Premiere Pro CC causing random horizontal lines on H.264 Renders     Can you advise as to when the fix will be pushed?  We have turned to "software only" render, which is killing us for time.  We have a huge amount of work that goes through 4 edit bays and its putting us days behind.

  • GTX 750 Ti sufficient for GPU Acceleration in CC 2014?

    Hi all,
    Upgrading from a HD 5870 hopefully - just wanted to know if the GTX 750 Ti with its CUDA technologies would be sufficient for GPU accelerated applications like Pr, Ae, Sg, Ps, Lr and so on? Asking in the Pr forums because that's the application I use the most.
    System specs:
    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
    Core i5 2500K @ 4.3GHz
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
    16GB RipJaws-X 1648MHz
    ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
    OCZ Vertex 4 128GB | WD Green 2TB | WD Green 3TB
    LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray Burner
    OCZ ZS 650W
    NZXT Lexa S
    Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    Not too bothered about gaming performance. I don't want to spend a lot of money and the 750 Ti at around £100 seems a good balance between value for money and performance.
    The 5870 did work fine with OpenCL and Adobe CC 2014 but for various reasons I'd like to upgrade and go back to NVIDIA.
    Thanks all

    I have just completed running the entire PPBM8 script with the GTX 750 Ti, and compared it to the results that I had obtained over two weeks ago with the older GTX 560 card.
    GTX 750 Ti on CC 2014.8.2 (1TB Samsung F3 as project disk):
    GTX 560 on CC 2014.8.1 (1TB Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX as project drive):
    It appears that the first-generation Maxwell (GM107) GPU somehow improved the H.264 rendering/encoding performance compared to the older Fermi (GF114) GPU. The MPEG-2 rendering/encoding performance is practically equal with both of these particular GPUs.
    Verdict? The GTX 750 Ti is the right choice for a PC that's equipped (however less than ideally) with a higher-end i5 without hyperthreading or a quad-core i7 that cannot be overclocked much if at all (and this is assuming that that PC has a sufficiently fast disk subsystem).
    By the way, the GT 740 that was suggested for the OP's system (given the "Green" drives) is not a Maxwell-generation GPU at all - but a Kepler-generation GPU (in this case, based on the GK107) instead. The GT 730 with GDDR5 memory that I recommended as an alternative to the GT 740 DDR3 is based on the GK208 GPU. (And I do not recommend most GT 730s on the market as they are based on an old Fermi-generation GPU - the GF108 that debuted with the GT 430 back in 2010.)

  • CS5: Bug when exporting directly from PPro with hardware MPE?

    For the record, I'm using:
    A GTX-480 (unsupported)
    The hardware MPE-enabling hack (unsupported)
    The latest version of the nVidia drivers (257.whatever)
    I discovered an issue, of sorts, when exporting directly from Premiere CS5, versus using the "Queue" option to send to AME. I was exporting from an NTSC DV Standard sequence to a 320x240 H.264, in which I had enable cropping and trimmed a bit off the sides and top and bottom of the source; the Output tab was summarily set to "Scale to Fit". With hardware MPE enabled in the Project Settings, the export would be the proper final dimensions (320x240), but any area that was cropped off was instead padded with black. The actual video content was then squeezed and malformed into the area not occupied by the black bars.
    I found that, if I disabled hardware MPE or sent the export through AME by use of the Queue button (instead of Export), then the export was performed properly--the video was cropped correctly and then the video stretched to the borders of the exported video, maintaining the desired aspect ratio.
    As I mentioned at the outset, I'm breaking a couple rules and perhaps tempting fate with others, but before I go about rolling back my drivers and the like, has anyone noticed a similar issue?
    ADDENDUM: By the way, the export doesn't need to come from a sequence. If I load up a source clip into the Source Monitor, and export from there using the process outlined above, I get the same issue. This would seem to indicate, to me, that this is due to some incompatibility with my card, its driver and hardware MPE...

    Did he demo renders or exports?
    About 11 minutes in, he [Dave] demos accelerated H.264 renders.
    Harm Millaard wrote:
    AFAIK MPE only works with renders, not with encoding.
    Well, he did both, actually--but the quote above is a typo on my part. I meant to say "exports" or "encodes." The last couple minutes of the aforementioned demo video are dedicated to exporting a sequence directly from Premiere, and having the benefit of hardware MPE. That's where I'm getting the issue I've outlined above; with hardware MPE enabled, and using the "Export" versus AME "Queue" button/function, I get the strange black outline. With software MPE or through AME, all is well.

  • Quicktime Codecs/Compressors and After Effects?

    Hi,
    I have AE CS4, updated.Win XP SP 3 and 560ti Nvidia.
    I have a few questions regarding quicktime and after effects.
    I mostly render using quicktime and photo-jpeg as the compressor.But in the timelapse I shot, it is not giving me precise colors and the final movie is low on contrast.
    I tried animation codec, awesome but file size too large.I am rendering for stock footage where 1GB is maximum file size limit.
    My questions:
    1 - Will updating Quicktime update the compressor menu list under quicktime format in after effects render settings?Will updating also add new compressors, if any?
    2 - Where does quicktime store encoders/compressors if installed on C drive?
    3 - I saw many recommending DNxHD codec.I downloaded it.What next?Is it a quicktime compressor, i.e. to be used with quicktime as we use h.264, animation and photo-jpeg?
    4 - How do I add DNxHD codec to After Effects for use in renders?
    5 - Could you recommend the best lossless quicktime compressor which gives not so big file size as animation does?
    Currently I see 11 compressors in format options under quicktime.Are there more?I have the latest k-lite codec pack installed if that matters.
    Thank you.
    Would be greatful if you can explain, it will help me get clear on this.
    Thank you.And sorry if it is a very basic question.

    Hi, thanks for the replies.
    It is a timelapse footage and not animation file.I meant animation codec under quicktime format gives me the best results.I tried h.264 and photo-jpeg, but the final video looks flat and low on contrast.I have done some color grading and only animation and png renders it correctly.
    But the problem is that the file size is pretty huge.I also see banding in photo-jpeg and h.264 renders.
    I want to upload the timelapse to pond5 for sale.But photo-jpeg just gives me flat colors and flat contrast.
    Can you suggest a compression that maintains colors plus gives a size under 1GB?
    Photo-Jpeg render frame:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/42878955/1%20Photo%20-%20Jpeg.JPG
    Animation render frame:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/42878955/2%20Animation.JPG
    You can see how flat photo-jpeg looks.Also hasn't rendered the colors and contrast properly.
    Along with this, can you help me install DNxHD codec?I downloaded it and it has 2 folders, Source and TestFrames.What next?

  • Comp settings vs. Output Module settings

    Oh geez I hate to even ask this question:
    What the heck did I do? Maybe I'm losing it here...
    I've been rendering HD videos in H.264 for some time, but all of a sudden I'm getting "settings mismatch" in output module settings.
    And my animations are always 1920x1080
    Could somebody give me a refresher on selecting comp settings versus render settings? Please?
    If I know I'm going to use output module setting of H.264, what size should my original comp be?  Does comp setting have to be 1280x720? Cause I've been using 1920x1080.
    I've cycled thru just about every output module setting and every render is all grainy and unusable.
    Maybe I changed something somewhere and not aware of it?
    My Comp Settings:
    Preset: HDTV 1080 29.97
    width: 1920 px
    height: 1080 px
    What's got me stumped is the fact that the video/graphics look so crisp and clear while editing and previewing, but rendered video is all grainy and blurry.

    H.264 renders out as progressive scan, but 1920x1080 is typically upper field first for most editing applications. 
    What's the field order you're using?  Add the comp to AE's Render Queue and check the Render Settings.
    How are you viewing the rendered file?  In an editing application?  In a viewer?
    Personally, I'd be tempted to use 1280x720, 59.94 frames/sec if I had a choice.

    Adobe is the biggest media encoding market with AME, yet it doesn't support quick sync yet? wtf. Adobe gives very  little detail as to what it actually does support, like does it use  CUDA or Stream to speed up H.264 rendering or is it just using the GPU  for other not very often used speedups rather than the rendering which is what we  all want sped up?
    When will AME support quicksync and what does AME currently support for rendering speeds via CUDA and Stream?

    What would be a conventional, frame-based codec? Thank you so much for the help!
    Uncompressed AVI is one, but the file sizes are going to surprise you. Quicktime with the PNG codec is usually smaller, but still huge. Quicktime with the PhotoJPEG codec is even smaller. Some popular choices that are even smaller are DNxHD and Cineform (either MOV or AVI). They're still going to be much larger than the H.264, but that's okay!
    For many (most) professionals, the usual workflow is to render a lossless file (or nearly lossless) out of AE and then use the Adobe Media Encoder or Premiere to create the final deliverable. There are several reasons, but one is that AE is not very good at rendering h.264 files (and there are some very technical reasons for this). Anyway, the AE team deprecated the h.264 rendering in the latest version of After Effects because of it.
    In your case, I would suggest rendering into a TIFF sequence (or something similar). This way, if there is a crash or something, you can pick your render up at the last frame it rendered rather than having to start at the beginning. I always do this when I'm doing 3d work and the render is going to be over an hour. Then you can bring that TIFF sequence into Premiere as if it's a video file, put your audio and everything to it, and send your final H.264 render from Premiere.
