HD Settings in the sequence

I need 720P video in HD. I created a sequence 720P which is 1280X720 resolution. What are the best quality Quick Time compression settings?
Thanks,

How to view the settings of the sequence (info that appears when you first open sequence)?

Hi I would like to ask how to view the current settings of the sequence i am already working in, the same information that appears when you first open a new sequence
eg.
General
Editing mode: QuickTime DV PAL
Timebase: 25.00fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 720h 576v (1.4587)
Frame rate: 25.00 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.4587)
Fields: Lower Field First
Audio Settings
Sample rate: 48000 samples/second
Default Sequence
Total video tracks: 3
Master track type: Stereo
Audio Tracks:
Audio 1: Standard
Audio 2: Standard
Audio 3: Standard
I have forgotten which setting I chose for my current sequence and have tried to look under project settings and also sequence settings
but the info that you see when you first open a new sequence doesn't show, especially if the editing mode is PAL or NTSC etc.
How can I find out this information that my current sequence is on?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply
Is there a way to see what preset I chose when i first chose the sequence? As under 'sequence settings' i don't see this info.
e.g
DV PAL "Widescreen 48kHz"
As i do not remember and fear it may ruin the HD video I am currently editing.
Thanks

Premiere CS4 - How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?

Premiere CS4
How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?
Please reply in plain English or if possible in German
Greetings from Vienna, Peter

I have not installed Quicktime.
I got a few scenes (.mov) from a Canon Eos 70d.
I want to create a short film (in Premiere CS4) with these scenes, mixed with photos and MP3 music.

Does Premiere re-render video clips if they match the sequence settings?

I am new to using Premiere Pro CS5.5 and also a consumer lacking a detailed understanding of digital video inner workings, so excuse me if my question is obvious.   I have some older video clips, roughly 15-30 minutes in length. I would like to combine these into one file - without any loss of quality if possible.    So for example I imported two clips of the same format into PP.   I created a new sequence by dragging one of the clips to the magic button. Then I drug the second clip and placed it right after the first on the same sequence.   I made no other changes - no transitions, titles, effects etc.   Then I exported the sequence where I selected use the same settings as the sequence.
Two questions: 1) will PP re-encode/re-render the video such that I lose quality?     2) if you were simply trying to combine two or three video clips / files into one, would you go about it as I did here or would you do something different?
Let me know if you need more information and thanks.

The clips were orginally on miniDV tape, captured with Ulead/Corel VideoStudio in 2001, then output into another format. I found a shareware utility that reported "MPEG2" as the codec.   So I would assume then as you noted these would be re-encoded?   Would you expect a loss of quality that would be noticeable?   Combing these clips isn't required, just some housekeeping.   What would you do here?   Thanks for the help.
Here is the output from right clicking on properties of one of the clips:
File Path: ***.mpg
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 427.8 MB
Image Size: 720 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:12:50:21
Average Data Rate: 567 KB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091

Can use different sequence settings on the same project file ?

I have 2 camcorders now, one is a AVCHD and the other is HDV tape.
QUESTION 1:
As the former is 1920 x 1080 and HDV is 1440 x 1080, can I use all the clips of 1920 x 1080 in sequence 1 and all the clips of 1440 x 1080 in sequence 2 (both sequence 1 & sequence 2 are in the same .fcp project file) ?
QUESTION 2:
I often seen Tom saying the settings in Easy setup and be the same settings in the sequence settings.
If in Easy Setup, I select AVCHD PAL - 1920 x 1080i50, how do I select the same for sequence settings ?
Thanks

1. A qualified yes because I don't know what sequence 1 and 2 are.
2. The easy setup is your sequence setting. Make a new sequence and it will be in that format.
If you want to mix the media from those it cameras it would probably be better if you can switch the AVCHD camera to shoot 1440x1080; most can do that, and it would then match the media from the HDV camera.

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

How to find out the Sequence settings of a created sequence?

I have had a problem come up a few times where I am switching back and forth from one format to another, I frequently work on multiple edits, and my sound goes out of sync. This is usually because the sequence is set wrong (from when I switch and forget to change it back) and when exported it compresses the audio wrong. How do you find out what the settings are for a sequence you are working on when it's open in the FCP timeline? I'm looking for a quick way to rule out the sequence as part of the audio sync problem.
Thanks,
-Bluecast

Or Command-0. What about Easy Setups? I use them routinely so that I don't have to think about setups. Once the setup is saved and properly used, all the settings for sequences and hardware are easily made for you.

Settings, preferences for the Sequence

i'm capturing footage i shot with the panasonic 100a,
and before i bring footage into a project to edit
i need to make sure my original presets are what i need from here on out....
i just want the most 'pure' treatment of my footage once it's in the sequence,
not going through thing it doesn't need. in the end, my final film must be just like it is when i put in the computer.
i'm not familiar with settings like:
* field of dominance, such as lower(even)
* pixel aspect ratio
* video processing, like YUV allowed (8-bit)
* white point
* compressor (i don't see why i'd won't compress my footage, if it's not to be
made into a steaming video clip or the alike)
* data rate limit
on my panasonic the setting i shot with, instead of '24 p' was 'scene advanced'.
thanks alot for any advice.

Select the Easy Setup that matches the source materials' properties. i.e. if it's anamorphic choose that etc... You can probably capture it at 29.97 even if you've shot 24fps. It will look exactly the same either way. The only reason to capture it and remove pulldown is if you're going to print back to film. You neededn't worry about any of the custom settings at all... just use the easy setup that matches what you shot.

Change the sequence settings from NTSC 30 fps to PAL 25 fps, is possible?

Hello,
I have a finished project that was make in a sequence with the format NTSC 30 fps. Now I need to change that sequence and the project to PAL 25 fps. I have changed the settings of the source secuence to PAL 25, but in the resulting sequence the audio and the videos are different in time and speed.
With the videos I have make a match frame to find the source, but with the audios I have problems. ¿There is a automatic proccess in final cut pro 7.0 that could make a translation of a finished sequence that was developed in NTSC 30 ftp to a PAL 25 fps?
Can you give me a tip or something to make the trasnlation ?
Thanks in advance

Sorry...but it isn't as simple as changing a project frame rate. FCP is NOT good at mixing frame rates. And when you put NTSC footage (29.97fps), into a PAL timeline (25fps), that is exactly what you are doing. No, this won't work. No magic solution for this (although Avid MC5 does this nicely).
You are going to have to export a QT file, and let Compressor tackle this job (and it will take a WHILE, and you will have to run a few tests to see if your settings work to your satisfaction), or take that QT file to a post house with a Terranex or Snell/Wilcox to do the conversion ($$$$)...or output to tape AND THEN do the Terranex thing.
No easy button here.

Just noticed that the sequence settings are wrong

hey everyone
just a few quick questions from a newb....
i just finished working on a video and I noticed that I didn't properly setup the video, the original video files were in 1280 x 720(iphone) i noticed some jagged edges and every time I export it renders out to 720 x 480.
I remember I changed the easy setup after the clips were added to AIC 720p30.
As I'm playing around with the sequence setting, I hit the load button and the dimensions/canvas changed to the desired settings...
but now the movie clips are I'm guessing 720x480 because the canvas changed but the movie clips stayed the same size. Is there anyway I can get everything to 1280x720? without having to start over?
Everythng is small compared to the canvas now. However, when I drag a clip onto the canvas is the proper size and fills up the space.

Hi
As I get it - One can't change setting in an upstarted project.
So as I understands it - One must start a new Project/Sequence to make the new setting to take.

Unrendered Audio - sequence and clip settings are the same

When I drag a clip to the timeline a redline appears on the top of the timeline. I know this means that there is a setting issue between the sequence and the clips. All the settings are the same with the exception of the:
audio format - Clip: 8 bit integer
Seq: 32 Bit Floating
Audio Rate - Clip: 48000 5kh
Seq: 48.0 KH
The clips which is 1 1/2 HR takes 6 minutes to render.
Does anyone know why I need to render this clip?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here: a foolproof way to ensure clip-sequence settings match up:

And if you still have the problem, why not convert it to AIFF via QT?

I need help changing the sequence settings to my video

I shot on a JVC Everio in 720x480 29.97fps. I normally shoot in 1080x420 so I know the picture quality isn't going to be AS good. Normally, when I drag my clips into the timeline Premiere changes the sequence settings for me and everything looks fine. However when I drag this footage (the 720p) in, it becomes elongated and fuzzy.
I've messed around with the sequence settings by using DV-NTSC widescreen 48kHz and DVCPRO50 480i NTCS widescreen. When I drag my clips in they're cropped really close and they still look a bit off when I change the image to fit the screen (DVCPRO 50 looks a little bit better).
When I shot the video it looked crisp and clear on the monitor. I'm wondering if it looks strange because of the sequence settings and if so, what would be the best settings for this video.
The final video is going on youtube and I would like to make it look as good as possible!
Please let me know if you can help me out!

However when I drag this footage (the 720p) in, it becomes elongated and fuzzy.
What 720p? You gave us two frame sizes. Neither of them are 720p.
1080X420 is a very strange frame size. And you say it is normal? A 720p video is 1280X720 non-interlaced.
Chances are very good that it is 480i video you shot with a frame size of 720X480 and it is interlaced.
That video should be interpreted with a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 0.9091 (rectangular pixels that are taller than they are wide) - and what that means is that it isn't 16:9 it is 4:3 and should be edited in a 4:3 sequence. If, however, Premiere Pro is seeing the footage as having a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) then you may have to right click on the clip in the Project Panel and select Modify|Interpret Footage and set it to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)

Please Help! I created a PP file on a Mac and need to finish it on a PC? How do I change the sequence settings? Cross-platform usage??

I need to know this as soon as possible. How do I allow this file to work on a PC. Thanks

Yes I opened it and it said "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
So what I did is open a new file, clicked Import, clicked on the project I've been trying to open and imported the selected sequences, since it wouldn't let me import the whole project. Now all the clips are in a bin, but how do I put it on my timeline as if it were the whole project I was working on? If I select the imported file, the clips appear on the timeline all scrambled and just as that, clips. Essentially I have clips but need the sequence (project) I had created.

How to open a message popup and keep the sequence running ?

I have some steps in my sequence to initialize communication ports that takes a few seconds. As i have the trace off i want to display a message popup to tell the user that the sequence is doing the init. After the init steps are done i want to close the popup out of the sequence without pressing any button.
Is there a possibility in TestStand to do this ?
The normal Message popup stays until a key is pressed and even pauses the sequence while active.
Thank for help.

You could call your message popup in a subsequence as new execution and terminate this execution programmatically after your init steps have finished.
In order to do this you have to specify (module) the sequence call step that calls your subsequence:
-Multithreading and Remote Execution = Run in a New Execution
-Settings: Initally Hidden and Tracing disable, Restartable, Close Window when done, Wait for Execution to complete: Do not wait, Process Model Option: Do not use a Process Model
-Store an Object Reference to the New Execution in: e.g. Locals.ExecutionRef
After your Init steps you insert a ActvieX/COM Action Step that terminates the new execution:
-Object Reference: Locals.ExecutionRef
-Automation Server: NI TestStand API 3.1
-Object Class: Execution
-Call Method or Access Property: Call Method
-Method: Terminate
This will terminate your new execution showing the message popup.

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).
