H.264 YouTube Setting

Hi Guys
A quick question. I'm in PAL-land and exporting a movie for YouTube.I thought I'd use the H.264 setting with the YouTube preset. When I click on the YouTube widescreen HD preset, it defaults to NTSC. When I click on PAL it changes to PAL dimensions (575x720) but the preset alters to "Custom". Is that normal? If so why? If it isn't normal what could/should I do about it?
Regards,
Graham

Yes that is 'normal' and a bit annoying.
You have to change everything by hand.
This deserves a feature request.

Setting Poster Frame for H.264 Youtube HD video exported from Pr CC

Hey All,
I've searched many of the forums for an answer to this, but most of them refer to setting poster frames in encore/media encoder.
I'm wanting to select a specific frame from the video i've created to be used as the poster frame (i.e. the frame that is displayed as the preview of the video before it is played to show the viewer the content of the video) on the video when it's uploaded, either to Youtube or Facebook etc. As i'm not using En or the Media Encoder, I'm wanting to do this directly from Premiere Pro CC.
I'm sure I've seen/used a feature to select a poster frame within Pr before, but can't for the life of me remember or find where it is (if it is actually there at all).
Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Unfortunately Compressor, Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 can't play a Blu-ray .264 video files. This makes it hard to test your raw Blu-ray videos.
I found an app that will plaback the Blu-ray .264 video file on a Mac, VideoSpec. It's a free app!
http://videospec.free.fr/index.html
Drop your Blu-ray .264 video onto the open window and hit the play button in the upper left. VideoSpec has the Mplayer incorporated into the app. I guess you could download the stand-alone Mplayer app. But, Videospec gives you more options, video info for example.
What you could do to save on Blu-ray discs is to burn the Video onto a DVD for a test. You can only burn about 35 minute onto a DVD disc.

Colour correction for H.264/YouTube export from premier pro cc, help.

Hi, I am just finishing up a project that I put together in Premier Pro CC and SpeedGrade. I did a little test export, as it's for YouTube I used H.264. On looking at it afterwards it looked washed out with the blacks losing there depth, the saturation dropping and a loss of contrast. I tried checking on a few monitors and then tried uploading a piece to YouTube and it looks the same across the monitors and the same on YouTube this washed out drab change. So I tried reimporting the export back into Premier Pro and it looks fine in Premier Pro and SpeedGrade. I can go back and push my blacks and whites but it'll have to beyond 0 and 100 to get my contrast back and it feels wrong using the scopes like this. Dose anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Yes that's how I'm working. In Premier Pro CC and using the direct link to SpeedGrade then back to Premier Pro and exporting from there. I'm not sure you even can export from SG if you use the direct link from PP. I'm unsure now if it's the H.264 to blame, I tried a few other's and they also look washed out. At present I'm having to go over my old grade, that took days, adding more contrast and saturation seeing if I can get an acceptable image when I export.
I have tried AVI uncompressed, a few flavours of H.264 including some of the pre set ones like the YouTube ones and some image sequence's. The JPEG sequence was fine, same colours and contrast as within Adobe but all the H.264 and the AVI were washed out no matter what setting I put them on.
In the picture below you can see from the left first a waveform then the image in SpeedGrade with the scopes showing the blacks well below 0, next the same image back in PremierPro, then the exported H.246 file.
and here are the settings.

H.264 default setting

Does anyone now what bit rate setting will work to produce a DVD in H.264 single pass non default that will not give me a "Muxer Bit rate error".
I have just finished a one hour H.264 Video and compressor took 99hours on the IMAC.... far to long.
Also has anyone looked at single pass vs.Multi Pass video to see if their is much of a difference.
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You should use Compressor to make MPEG-2 (m2v file) for DVD (SD DVD) HD DVD (in theory more than practice) can support H.264
Dual Pass in H.264 encodes and m2v encodes produces better results
99 Hours is rather long, what are the specs of the iMac. Are you encoding to the internal drive? You would better off encoding assets that are on another drive (and if you can have another drive to send the build to, a bit more speed increase there.) EVen daisy chaining FW drives will help (as oppossed to all items on internal disc, epsecially if drive is getting full)

I get 120 hours render time on quicktime h.264 usualy setting

My Computer :
Processor : Radeon HD graphics APU A10-5745M 2.10GHz
Ram installed : 16 Go ( 15.52 usable , 12go on AAE CC )
Graphic cards : R7 m260 and HD 8610G
My project : 10 min long , 3 audio spectrum with glow and a '' bass shake fx on all of them ''
Usual render time for 1 audio spectrum 5 min long song and bass shake FX = 30 min , Same setting
My setting Quicktime H.264 , Lossless sound , Best quality .
I try to render and i alway get between 80 and 120 hours ... make no sense , it should be max an hour . theres 20k frames to be rendered .
Now when i installed media encoder it does not help it and still is Sooooooo long to render .... im not sure how to fix this without losing quality

It seems to be helping quite a bit , but the render is still up at like 41 hours so .... i don't understand ? does having multiple audio spectrum and a bass shake effect on all of them for 11 minute increase the render time by so much ? my first video was quite fast even on h.264 ? it doesnt look that fancy to me lol

When I export a video I get export errors. It compiled no problem. Now I will do this as HD h.264 youtube HD

Sync issues on export to AME using constant power

Using a new 12 core Mac Pro with PP CC 2014.
If I have any CONSTANT POWER transitions in my timeline (for example when shortening music) when I export to AME as an H.264 YouTube setting the video plays back out of sync. You can hear it 'jump' at the points where the CONSTANT POWER transitions are. It trys to catch back up but all the edits are off by at least 10 frames. Near the end of the 2 minute video the sync catches back up as long as there are no CONSTANT POWER transitions near the end.
The ONLY work-around that works is deleting all CONSTANT POWER transitions and using straight cuts.
Strangely enough when you play back the movie inside PP CC 2014's timeline- it plays back smooth and clean.
Anyone else having this issue???
Using a audio wave file (music)

Use shorter audio files. Break up the audio into shorter, more manageable chunks, and then place those shorter audio files in your movie.

Best setting for export to revver/youtube/vimeo

Hey,
I've been trying all different settings and i still haven't been able to find the combination that makes for good quality video on sites such as revver/youtube/vimeo. I've tried all types of tutes online but none seem to work for me. I know theres a youtube setting but most people seem to say this is exports too small a size.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm not familiar with revver. YouTube is not up to the quality of Vimeo. I suggest exporting for Vimeo, using the suggested settings on the Vimeo site. Use that same file for uploading to YouTube/revver.
To give you an example of the quality you can achieve on Vimeo, here is a clip I posted. The source material was 4:3 DV in a 16:9 SD project, encoded to 1280x720 (Vimeo HD) WMV with 2-pass unconstrained VBR with target bitrate at 5500 Mbps and audio at 128 Kbps.

Even on YouTube it looks decent.

How do you re-encode h.264 video without artifacts?

Hi
I have a video that was exported out of Premiere using h.264 at max 20mbps. All is good. Since the export takes 10+ hours I now want to create a version for Vimeo and Youtube. Becuase of the file size I don't want to upload the entire 2GB file to these services (I have a 5GB week limit upload at Vimeo) so I'll simply bring the file back into Premiere and export it using the Vimeo or Youtube setting with the max mbps around 5mbps or so. When I do this the resulting output file is unplayable, lots of artifacts and stutters. Some blacks are white even. I'm guessing Premiere is having an issue becuase it's re-encoding an already coded h.264 file, or something like that. Any ideas why this would happen and any solution to producing a good output?
Cheers.

As Dave stated, re-compressing already lossy-compressed video directly into another lossy compressed format is never a good idea: In this instance, image quality will degrade severely from that of the original AVCHD video. And all of the suggested intermediate files for Windows habe their disadvantages: DNxHD (and possibly UT) invoke the Apple QuirckTime API that induces a severe gamma shift in the encoded video (in the worst cases, whites come out medium-gray and middle tones come out pitch black) and is very slow to process due to it being restricted to 32-bit operations. Lagarith requires a massively powerful CPU - far more powerful than even a heavily overclocked i7-3960X - just to even play back well (this is based on my experience with Lagarith and my heavily overclocked i7-2600K, which dropped frames massively on playback of Lagarith-encoded material).

YouTube only uploading my 720 video at 360 max

I am using a 15" MacBook Pro (2012) 750GB HD, 16GB RAM
OS X 10.9.5
2.4GHz Intel Core i7
After Effects CC 13.0.2.3
Media Encoder CC
So I rendered my movie in the After Effects Render Que as a mov. file and the colors came out slightly, different but enough where I could live with it. Then I tried to convert it to H.246 Codec and all that by using Media Encoder's "YouTube 720 HD" present, since I primarily want to upload the movie to YouTube. My movie project is 1280x720 so this was the appropriate preset. Except when it converted the colors came out even worse. Certain reds came out more pinkish. I tried sending my project straight to media encoder and rendering it to the "YouTube 720 HD preset" but the same discoloring occured...So I thought I might just upload the 1.68GB mov. file straight to YouTube to try and preserve the decent coloring, since I heard they compress their videos automatically anyway. But then when it finally uploaded after 25mins the video colors where fine but it would only go up to 360 Definition and it looked horrible (my options were 240 or 360). I thought it might have something to do with me uploading the large mov. file since I had never done that before. So I tried uploading the 112MB mp4. file (with the distorted color) and when it uploaded to YouTube the colors were still distorted but the more aggravating part was it STILL only went up to 360. I don't get it?!
When I watch my movie in Quicktime, or iTunes or even when I drag the finished mov. or mp4. file into a new composition in After Effects it all looks good and goes up to a 720 HD. Also interesting fact, when I drag the mp4. file into a new After Effects composition the distorted coloring goes away but then if I try to render it out from that new composition using H.264 YouTube 720HD preset the discoloring still appears on all my media playing platforms (Quicktime, iTunes, YouTube)

About 80% of my projects are 32 bit with color space set to NONE. Some are set to color space profiles defined by my clients. Some projects are set to Display, mine is calibrated with a calibration tool - not by eye. My favorite is the X-Rite: EODIS3 : i1Display Pro. The color space you use depends entirely on the workflow and delivery specifications. If you loose the ability to set a color space anywhere in the project or are worried about that possibility then choose NONE. If you are sure you can maintain control, establish and prove your color management workflow before you deliver your product.
I'm also very careful with color values in my projects. Some things, like 100% red Helvetica at 40 pixels on a black or white background are going to fall apart when compressed or broadcast so you have to use values that will make these colors work. I do the same thing with gradients. A gradient that only changes color values from say 160 to 200 over an entire HD frame is gong to have banding with it is compressed to 8 bit, and if the gradient is moving it's really going to look bad and theres nothing you can do about it except add some noise or texture to the gradient to hide the 8 bit compression artifacts. Learning what will work takes time and experimentation. I've been doing this since you could have no values below 16 and no values about 235. We can use much more of the available color space but color compression and MPEG formats will always create color artifacts and change things if you are not careful with your design.

Why is the video quality for AVCHD when uploaded to youtube higher...

when submitted from a mac?
#1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8d-fQxdBmQ
I sent this video directly from my Macbook using iMovie 8.0 and that's the video quality results
#2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U3dDmAX7C0
I uploaded this using Adobe Premirere Pro CS 4 H.264 - youtube HD widescreen preset and those were the results...?
Why?

"I suspect you simply didnt wait long enough for youtube to fully process the video before you watched it."
Incorrect. After I uploaded the second video, I went to sleep, without watching it once.
So if I set the 2nd video to low resolution, would it end up looking like the first video? Because I still think the first video has better quality.

Best camera settings for youtube videos

What settings should I shoot video at in order to get the best youtube output? My choices are 1920x1080-30; 1920x1080-24; 1280x720-60; 640x480-60; crop-640-60
I'm wondering if it's better to compress a high quaility video, or can I shoot at low quality and get the same results?
I have a Canon 60D and CS4 master collection with Premiere Pro and Encore.

Use the preset under H.264 and set the framerate the same as your footage.
Do a little experimenting, you dont have to upload the whole movie, couple of minutes is enough.
HD footage can be upload as HD so why go for low.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

YouTube output to flash encoder

So I've been using the youtube setting in compressor, then take the output to CS3 and/or CS4 encoder. It works fairly well.
Can I improve with a different setting? H.264 perhaps?

Zak Ray wrote:
... all you really need to do is add an flv extension yo your output from Compressor.
If file size is the issue, then I'd work in Compressor to get it down. But there's no need to encode twice.
Oh, ok. So, output using the youtube settings or any of the H.264 settings, then just change/rename the .mov extension to .flv or f4v and this will work for my client? That would be golden!
Not even sure if file size is an issue, although as I have web design experience, I always try and get the best possible image (for jpegs/pngs) or video at the smallest file size for slower broadbands.
