H.264 Vimeo Export Questions

Hello,
I exported a H.264 according to Vimeo's guidelines ( Compression Tutorials on Vimeo ) for Premiere Pro CC.  I'm a bit dissapointed in the quality of the export - contrast is down, midtones are brighter, a noticeable loss of detail and added noise.  I'm coming from 10 Bit DPX and understand there is a big difference, but I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers in regards to exporting via Premiere.  This is the first project I've cut with it.
Should I use Media Encoder instead or is that essentially the same?  Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.  We were using both quicktime and Vimeo to compare image quality.
The source footage is BMCC RAW and to retain as much image quality I rendered to DPX from Resolve after the grade and brought the image sequences into Premiere.
There is some quality lost between Resolve and Premiere but the difference between Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Vimeo is significant.
I'll do a comparison inside Premiere to double check.

    Hello,
    You wrote:
    CAN THIS ERROR CAUSE BIG DESASTER TO DB IN FUTUREThe error message EXP-00091: Exporting questionable statistics just warns you that the statistics
    were exported but these statistics may be not useable.
    So, if you have to import these Tables, you may have to collect again the statistics of these Tables.
    It's not relative to this problem but why don't you use DataPump (expdp/impdp) ?
    Please find enclosed a link about DataPump, it's much more powerful than the classical export/import:

    Hi,
    >>because I exported dump from oracle10G
    Then you use the exp 10g version, right ? To move data DOWN a version(s), you need to export using that lower versions EXP tool and using IMP that lower version tool.
    Take a look at this below?

    You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

  • Basic Exporting Question

    My main question is a very basic exporting question, but here is a super-condensed explanation of my big-picture goal for context:
    Large (~450 MB) aiff on CD --> trim w/ Quicktime --> small (~16 MB) MP3 in iTunes
    I would like to take an audio file (aiff) that is approximately 450 MB and export it from Quicktime and in doing so, reduce the file size and convert it to MP3. When I simply try to export it, it doesn't ask me about what size I want, nor does it give the option of MP3 formatting.
    I have figured out how to reach my goal, but it's a mess. After I make my trims in QT, I have to:
    1. select "share" instead of "export".
    2. It asks me what size I want and I select small.
    3. The file is then exported as a Quicktime movie into Mail and the size is reduced from 450 MB to about 20 MB.
    4. I then have to "right-click" on the attachment in the email that is created,
    5. save the attachment,
    6. discard the email,
    7. import the file into iTunes, and
    8. create an MP3 in iTunes to finally arrive at my goal.
    This seems like a ridiculously convoluted process to change a large aiff to a small MP3 and put it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. I guess the basic answer to my question is that it can't be done in one or two fell swoops. The problem is that it starts on a burned disc, and I need to make edits to it before it ends up in iTunes (to be eventually used in iWeb). I was hoping to avoid juggling back and forth between iTunes and QT. I either would have to send it back to QT to do the edits after -->iTunes-->mp3, or import the large file from the CD to QT, make the edits, save changes, import large file to iTunes, convert to mp3.

  • Exporting question #53427

    I read through exporting questions for over the last year, but I came away more confused than ever. Here is my problem (which others had, but I'm looking for the quickest solution):
    I made a 3 hour video on iMovie 8 only to read about its limitations afterward. I used information I found on some post to download iMovie 6 and then export my iMovie 8 project to it for its finalization.
    I tried to export the movie LARGE size and it took 6 hours only to end up with the message error -2125.
    I then tried to export to Quicktime, but it was scheduled to take 30+ hours.
    Is there an easier way to get the iMovie 8 project into iMovie 6 in order to complete it?
    (As a side note, I have a 2003 copy of Final Cut Pro which I have not installed. Would this be worth installing on my MacBook to transfer the project to that?)
    Thanks as always.

  • H.264 mp4 Export Washed Out

    I can't seem to export an H.264 video without it being washed out. Lower contrast, lower saturation, very noticeable. As if there's a hidden conversion to rec709 or some such that I can't turn off.
    PC
    Premiere Pro CC
    Exporting from Premiere Pro through Media Encoder to H.264 in an MP4 container.
    Video appears the same in VLC, QuickTime, and on Vimeo.
    I've looked and looked and all the solutions I've seen relate to H.264 within a MOV container. Nothing I've seen works.
    Other codecs play back as expected. Definitely not a driver issue.
    This is infuriating. Thoughts?

    Tried exporting a 10-bit DNxHD and taking it through DaVinci Resolve, exporting an H.264 (mov) using Data Levels, and it exports and plays correctly. As a test, I ran this file through Media Encoder reconverting to H.264 (mp4) and the result plays correctly (at data levels).
    This seems to confirm that Premiere Pro / Media Encoder by default (and without an option to change it) export H.264 with video levels. In a day when web video trumps television, it seems at the very least there would be an option to export using data and not video levels, especially when Vimeo and YouTube both request H.264 files. Am I missing something obvious, or this completely retarded?

  • Exporting Questions

    I'm new to FCE (3.5.1), but have been reading Wolsky's Editing Workshop (like it even with the typos!).
    Primarily, I want to create DVD's of HD footage from a Canon XH-A1 (1080-60i). (Yes, I realize it will be in SD)
    Using iDVD 6, I've found that Export -> QuickTime Movies... creates a lot of artifacts--horizontal jaggies in particular. Using QuickTime Conversions.. H.264 and best quality settings seems to give a better image. So my two questions:
    1) It seems like QuickTime Conversions is recently taking substantially longer than it had before--It's at 30% on one project and projecting 30+hours to complete. In fact FCE craps out completely whenever I try to export
    2) What options do I have to get better results--image quality off the camera is stunning. End result on DVD is no where near a good commercial DVD.

    That can depend on what you're exporting, how long
    the video is, what codec and compression settings
    you're using, what computer, and how much RAM you
    have available for the encoding.
    Video is 42:02;16
    Codec: H.264 Settings: Best Quality, Multipass
    Computer:
    Machine Model: iMac4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B08
    SMC Version: 1.1f5
    From about 84 through 95 I used a Mac as my primary machine. I've gotten pretty Mac stupid inthe past decade: I used to know how to determine how much RAM each prgram was using, but not anymore...
    I think FCE has gone stupid as well, and have heard but don't know the details of how to get FCE to re-initialize itself--tossing the preferences or something.

  • Issue with H.264/AVC export

    I am a beginner with Adobe Premiere so please excuse me if this is a naive question and terminology.
    The first thing I tried to achieve with Premiere is to convert/compress videos that I capture by my camera. I have been doing this for long long time using NCH Prism Video Converter and It does a good job. It uses AVI container with H.264 codec and compresses a lot while you don't feel much in quality loss. I have been trying to export a video to the same level of compression with kind of similar quality with Premiere, but I haven't yet been successful. The exported files are always larger and lower in quality. I have uploaded the original captured video as well as samples of the videos compressed by Prism and Premiere on my dropbox:
    Original (.mov 131.72 MB): https://db.tt/Qp7TUkPt 
    Prism (.AVI 18.94 MB): https://db.tt/sREwmMdD
    Premiere (.MP4 20.67 MB): https://db.tt/fhmiRUNk
    What I'd like to find is the right format in Premiere to get pretty similar quality&size as I get with Prism. As you can see in the above videos, the Premiere one is larger and more noisy (pixels are distorted especially when the camera is moving and you can see noises that cause pixels to seem jumpy/jaggy - sorry I don't know the exact name of this kind of noise).
    I tried MediaInfo to see what codec Prism is exactly using. It seems that it is using AVC, but I have no idea on how I can install/use AVC codec in Premiere. Below you can find the detailed information about the codec/format that Prism uses.
    I really appreciate any suggestion.

  • DVX footage - Exporting question

    Hi Guys,
    I know I am going to get some reply's directing me toward tutorials and such but i'm in a bit of a tight spot and I need some instant karma. I have searched here and on DVX user but cannot find what I need.
    I shot some footage of my g/f yesterday and we need to send it way across the Atlantic via my idisk asap. It's something she has choreographed for an animation. It's only preliminary footage but they DO need it and i'm not getting the sample video files I was hoping for.
    Due to the crappy light conditions in the studio we used I shot it using my DVX 100's standard scene file F1 (progressive off).
    Using Final cut 5 (on a G4 Mac Powerbook, running Leopard) I imported it set to DV NTSC (I'm in the UK but my DVX is NTSC). I didn't go for the 29.97 as I thought that was used when shooting 24p.
    The footage looked fine on the time line and in the viewer. I only made a very basic edit and added text slugs at the beginning and then exported it using Quicktime Conversion. I exported using Apple Intermediate Codec and MPEG 4 but when I watch them back both codecs show nasty lines around the edges of anything moving ie. my girlfriend.
    I assume this is something to do with interlacing but unfortunately I am not yet at the level of understanding to either know this for sure or, more importantly, do anything about it.
    If anybody can I would really appreciate a shove in the right direction here. The footage we shot is clean and I REALLY need the footage we export to be clean too. I also understand that this is a very complex subject and I am currently reading as much as I can to try and learn about all things video.
    Right now it's about getting my settings right and knowing which format is best to export to.
    p.s. Should have mentioned that this is probably going to only be viewed on computer monitors.
    Hope someone can help,
    Double ohh

    X,
    Apart from my iDisk being the usual drag it is, everything went superbly. I played around a bit and quite quickly came up with my clips in the following formats;
    Exported through Quicktime Conversion - Quicktime movie - H.264
    Quality: High
    Key rate: 24
    Frame rate: current
    Key frame: Every 24
    I left the frame size native and checked Deinterlace.
    I am a bit unsure as to why the files came out differing sizes as the 4 takes were all from the same angle and for the same length. The lighting may have changed a bit, but not much.
    The largest file came out at 108MB and the smallest (of four) was 78MB; quite a result (for me).
    I know you guys must get a continuous flow of questions like mine from people (like me) who don't know the basics. Especially concerning DVX related issues. I am actually reading Barry Green's Book and regularly reading posts from the likes of Shane Ross and Noah and checking sites like Ken Stone. But it's a tricky subject to get to grips with and I really appreciate the chance to be able to get help and advice here.
    Thank you very much for your time and your patience today. It was a great help and I don't think I would have gotten the footage where it needed to be had you not given me such a decent explanation. Thank you very much.
    As an experiment I exported one of the files again changing the frame size to 640x480 and the frame rate to 29. It cam out at 62MB and just as good quality.
    All the clips I exported did not suffer from the lines that I had previously been experiencing.
    Thank you once again,
    Double Ohh

  • Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

    When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
    Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
    Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
    AVC vs h.264
    One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
    Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
    Other sizes are fine
    Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
    Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
    I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4.  Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
    Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
    I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
    Some examples for download
    I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
    Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
    Update
    I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.
    Message was edited by: Bahi Para

    Bahi,
    just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
    You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
    Next is Snow Leopard:
    Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
    Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

  • File Export question and ID3 Tags

    First question, have tried using Apple's recommended method of using QT Pro to export movies as "iPod" but when attempting to sync to an iPod get an incompatible file format. What is the "right" export option?
    Secondly, on one file I've imported it into iTunes then set all the ID3 fields to my liking, then uploaded into iTunes U but the fields are incorrect. I've tried deleting the file from iTunes U several times and re-imported the file into iTunes and set the ID3 fields and still nothing. Any suggestions on how to get my file up and hold the ID3 fields info?
    thanks

    If you've been having ID3 issues with MP3s, that was recently corrected (well, just the album art thing, everything else worked as far as I know). I've had bad luck with third party ID3 tag editors, so we are recommending people do it through iTunes.app
    Since you are already doing that, I'd be worried that my site was set to overwrite the tags (this is an option). If you're the admin, you can check it, otherwise you can ask them.

  • Standard Midi File Import/Export Questions

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble with Standard MIDI files, in that, after exporting them, and importing them back into another Logic project to test them, some of them will split/demix. That is, instead of one MIDI region appearing, it imports as two MIDI regions, with the notes of the part split between the two regions (the notes seem to split according to velocity, not note value).
    Here is my question related to this:
    Is it possible to export a Standard MIDI File for each "part" in a project, rather than one SMF for all the MIDI files in a project? (i.e., create one SMF for each software instrument track)? This is what I'm trying to do. The reason is that I'm trying to prepare and save some MIDI files to include with the audio files in a remix pack, and, since it's likely that the various remixers will be using different DAWs such as Cubase, I'm assuming that a SMF that includes all the various parts might not import into their program correctly. Is my assumption wrong? I.E., will most DAWs, like Cubase, etc., correctly import a SMF that includes all parts, and upon import split those parts correctly?
    I'm following all the instructions for "Saving Standard MIDI Files" from the Logic Pro manual, except that I am not merging all the different instruments' MIDI regions together; I'm only merging each individual parts' MIDI regions.
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: trobert225 - I accidentally posted before I finished the question.

    Well I think the problem is solved. There was a conflict between Logic and iLife 06. I bought a new computer this week and had to load everything into it. I decided not to put in iLife 06 yet including Garageband and all the jam packs. I loaded all the new .caf files off the Logic DVD
    I opened a midi file and all tracks loaded with Logic instruments. the problem was that a lot of the instruments had been erased somehow or over written by Logic studio. Now I believe they are all there and things are working as they should

  • How to export question

    Quick question, I recently upgraded from FCE 2 to FCE 3.5HD. Before, when I was done with a project I would just export the sequence to Compressor and it would launch Compressor and have the sequence loaded in Compressor. Now with FCE 3.5, when I export my sequence, it launches Compressor, but it is blank. I do not know how to get me finished sequence in there....any help would be appreciated....

    Export your movie as QT-movie, non-self contained or self contained (bigger file).
    Open compressor and import the file.

  • Quick export question (i hope) for Reader

    I'm using the following button created in livecycle:
    form1.Submit::click - (JavaScript, client)
    xfa.host.exportData("",0);
    In Acrobat Pro, I get a prompt to save the file as .xml (desired behavior)
    I have enabled the form with "extend features in adobe reader" using Pro and have the 'save as' menu item available in Reader, so I know that is working.
    However, when the export button is clicked in Reader, it flickers and does nothing.
    Any ideas on this one?
    Thanks!

    Thank you very much for your answer.  I'm not sure I understand, or maybe my question wasn't clear.. I'm developing a form in LiveCycle but I've used the extensions in Acrobat Pro to enable it for Reader.
    If these are available to turn on in LiveCycle, can you point me to some documentation on how to turn it on, or describe where these features are located?  I've combed through much of the documentation / help and haven't seen anything on this.
    Thanks for your help..
