HDV project in motion want to export as a SD DV project???

hi, ive been working a hd project and been adding motin fx in motion2. my problem is that the client wants it to be made into SD DV PAL and has only told me at the end..as i would have down converted from my Deck deviceat the begginig. Is there a way to export HD content into SD format from motion. ive tried various settings but it keeps coming out squashed (4:3), how can i get it made into 16:9 aspect ratio. should i use compressor or motion's QC export??

If you are putting out a 16:9 DVD, then the squished format 4:3 is how it is stored on disc - it is called anamorphic. If you load it into DVDSP and tell it that your material is anamorphic, it will create a disc that will either play with letterbox if the display device cannot handle anamorphic material, or it will play in 16:9 format...

Is there a way to export an HDV project out to tape (FX1) after Export?

I know I can import HDV footage from the FX1 into FCP5, perform edits and then "Print to Tape" (FX1), but is there a particular format I need to export to, to be able to created a file for import into a new Project for "Print to Tape"?
In other words how do I export an edited HDV File back to tape frm within FCP5?

I import footage from 2 diff tapes (Cam Angles) of a Cooking show taping.
I edited the clips together and added titling
I then exported the Project out (Current Settings) to a single file
I open that file in After Effects to add Motion Graphics
I export that back out in the HDV format
Now I want to export that file to tape by importing into FCP5 HDV project and doing a "Print to Tape" command. But when I do this I get serious frame drop outs.
I hope that made my situation a little clearer.

Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player. But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
Thanks, in advance.

Hey, I'm glad I found you guys. This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year. Maybe you can help:
I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere. (So far, so good) Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video. It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off. My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering. I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects. Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project (adobe media encoder, straight to encore). ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

Problems with exporting my first HDV project

Hello everybody
When I want to export my 30 min HDV project it takes forever around 10-15 hours. When I finally got a self-contained quicktime movie file exported. It does not play in anything but FCP. Why is it so slow and how can I make it go faster?
I have a Macbook 1, 83 ghz 1 gb ram and FCP 5.0 the video is compressed to HDV1080i50.
Rendering is finished.
Thanksful for help

Without wanting to spell it out to you, yes, as the other guys have correctly interpreted, the article highlights the fact that HDV is processor/RAM intensive, and it seems to me that your system just hasn't got the grunt to make HDV a fluid format to work in... One of the main hassles is the re-conforming of the GOP structure (HDV is an mpeg2 type format) when exporting HDV sequences, which is why many people capture/transcode to a full i-frame format to avoid GOP structures all together.
Without meaning to seem rude or brush off your original enquiry, there is loads of information on the forum about pro's/cons of HDV... a simple search will help you out.
regards,
J

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

Want to export only short part of a longer project

I have a 27 min project already edited on the timeline, but I want to export to a MOV in H264 only a portion (Approx 6 min) of it
so that someone can review it. I don't want to use Compressor
Can this be done? How???
Any help appreciated
Thanks
AppleLou.

I've amended that thread because it no longer works in 10.0.1. You can either copy and paste clips into a new project or copy and paste the compound clip into a new project to export. If you try to export the compound clip it will still export the project, unless the compound clip was made in the browser.

HDV Project problim

Hi all
I am currently working on a movie for a client. All the footage was shot on the Sony HVR Z1E and i have ben editing the footage in Final Cut Pro 5 with the following settings. HD (1440x1080)(16:9) HDV 1080i50. Everything is going really well and am very happ with the results.
But now the client is shooting the product and for this they are using the JVC GY-HD100E as they need the macro lense facility.
I know there are some issues with the JVC and FCP and i was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation. whats the best way to get it into FCP. Will i have to edit the JVC product footage seperatly from the SONY footage and then somehow edit it all together or is there a way to do it all together.
I am trying to Output at the highest possible settings.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have exported my HDV project to compressor and I've tried submitting the project 6 times and I have only been successful compressing the audio. the video has failed every time. It is a 17 min project so I customized the settings. This is what I used for the last time I tried. I have left it at automatic for one of other the tries. Do I need to export it as a Qucktime movie and bring that into compressor or is it the translation of an HDV project to SD-DVD project that is causing the problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HDV project to web

Hi
I have a HDV project I would like to put on the web.
I would like to be able to export in either 480p or 720p like theese clips here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/hdvideo/hdgallery/
So basicly my questions are:
1. Which format and preset should I use to get 480p or 720p for playback in flashplayer?
2. How do I integrate the file on a webpage? (sorry if Q2 is somewhat offtopic).
Thanks in advance.
/Ulf

How? It seems obvious to me.
First, assume the viewer has a high bandwidth connection. That is key to the quality of the compression.
Second, make sure you have something people actually want to watch.
Really, they are just Flash videos. A little higher bandwidth than Vimeo uses I think, but Flash nonetheless. They post multiple files on their site so you can pick the one you want. That helps.
Perhaps I don't understand the question? Or perhaps I just think that exporting to Flash is a simple matter of using Premiere Pro CS3.
As for how to get it on a Web site, use Adobe Encore to create your Flash site to look just like a DVD, or use Dreamweaver to post your SWF files created in Adobe Flash.

Upconverting DV for an HDV project

Hiya,
I have been putting together a large project based on HDV footage.
I have a small amount of footage filmed on a PD-170 in 16:9 mode, delivered to me captured onto hard drive as DV.
Is it possible to process this so that I can use it in my HDV project without rendering and resizing all the time?
TIA
Miller.

You'll want to start a new hdv proj - drop your dv into the tl - resize it then export out as HDV to use in the hdv project.
Think I'd opt for an fcp render then use a ref movie in the proj - if that doesn't work or proves to be problematic then you'll have to export out a hdv movie file to use.
Do it once and get it as good as you can.

Appropriate "master" format for HDV projects

If you have a typical HDV project in Premiere and you'd like to give your client a "high quality master" of the finished project, for them to recode at their leisure, what's the most appropriate output CODEC to use, where file size isn't an issue (very short projects like TVC's, or longer projects delivering on hard drive)?
Matthew P

This will probably get moved over to the appropriate forum, since this isn't about CS5, but...
Lagarith or Ut Video Codec
Since you're using CS3, you need the 32-bit version of either of those.
For uncompressed, your options would be Microsoft AVI with None as the codec, or QuickTime with None as the codec. Both are playable (well, they can be opened, but realtime playback may not be feasible) on either a PC or Mac.
I would not suggest Animation for live video; it's better used for (surprise) animation or any type of motion graphics that has large, even fields of color, and not the various gradations usually associated with live video.
Pixel aspect ratio and frame size will vary based on the end application, but my typical course of action is to export with square pixels at whatever dimensions are full raster for the particular format you're using--for example, 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Anamorphic aspect ratios (like HDV 1080i) are usually fine, however; it just involves the end recipient realizing that the aspect ratio needs to be properly interpreted.

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
John

Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
Sorry I can't offer anything.

I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text doc

I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text document. Is there a way to do that without copying and pasting each item?

Fortunately, I still have the project ready at hand, so I can cut and paste each text window from there, but I do admire the creativity of your approach. I thought about making the desired document as a collection of still images without the video track removed, but I decided that would be too cumbersome for this purpose.
It still seems to me that there ought to be a way to access the text resident in FCP and turn it into a text file, but maybe this will have to written into the program as a feature. Probably, it would not be a high priority among all the other tasks on the wish list.
Thanks for your help. If I learn something interesting, I will post it for the benefit of others who might want do what I want to do now. Off I go now to cut and paste!

I want to export with alpha channel using a codec that carries less data than gopro cineform

Hi--I want to export some intermediate files with an alpha channel. i'm using gopro cineform, and these files end up being so large, meaning that i have to sit through hour long renders. is there a a codec i can use that has an alpha chanel but creates a smaller file size?
thanks

Thanks for your help Patrick. I tell ya, I can't believe what's going on. As I said, this project until today has not caused me any issues what-so-ever. The other six sessions are totally fine. I also created a quick project with the same settings added text - then exported using the same settings I've used before, and it exports with the proper alpha channel.
Yet, I rebooted the Mac, made sure to delete old versions in the trash can and everything. Still, no alpha.
To keep moving forward, I literally had to use a color key in FCP to cut out the background color.
Crazy!

SD Footage in HDV Project Anyone

has anyone here ever included *SD(720x480 DV)footage* in a *HDV project?* I have massive amounts on footage captured in SD from my Sony VX1000. I would like to move forward by editing all my projects in HDV format, which will include the DV footage. I downloaded a trial from BorisFX called "UpRez" that is supposed to take SD footage and make them work wihin the HDV format. My questions are:
1: Has anyone used the BorisFX "UpRez" plugin and does it really work
2: Is there a plugin bundled with FCP 6.x that does the same thiing
3: Can a HDV project playback on a SD meduim
4: If not can compressor "downsize" my HDV project to play back on SD mediums
Thanks in Advance

As far as I know in 2009 all things will be digital, not necessarily HD. But if you want to keep you HDV timeline, though I would recommend transcoding to ProRes because of HDVs long-gop, I have had some success with using Compressor to upRes SD footage to use in an HD timeline. Using the frame controls use best for the resizing filter and deinterlace filter. Be aware that this will take quite a bit of time, depending on how beefy your machine is. Although, I've only been going as far as 720p. 1080 sizes will really hinder the look of the SD footage.
If you want to keep all you edits in HD, simply downconvert your finished edit using compressor to SD and encode your MPEG 2 files. You'll just have to decide if you want to crop the sides of your 16:9 footage to a 4:3 or letterbox the 16:9 into a 4:3 frame.
hope this helps.

How achieve highest playback quality from shared iMovie HDV Project?

I have a Sony HDR-HC9 1080i HDV tape camcorder and I am able to play back HD video to either a Mac computer or to a Panasonic Full HD 1080p TV. Playback quality of unedited HD holiday video footage to TV using HDMI cable and to the computer via Firewire is superb. This excellent playback quality is also preserved in an edited iMovie Project in HDV format 57 minutes long and 48 GB in size which I made from the original 90 minutes holiday video footage.
The problems arose in trying to preserve this high quality when sharing the iMovie Project. Before I bought this HDV camcorder I had a Sony DV tape camcorder and I always used to make an archive tape from an edited DV Project by exporting the iMovie Project back to tape. However, when attempting to do the same with this latest HDV 48 GB Project the computer message informed me that it would take about 43 hours to do this. So that is out of the question!
Next I decided to make a Quicktime movie from the iMovie HDV Project using Full Quality compression via Apple Intermediate Codec (1440 x 1080). This took 12 hours to do! Computer viewing of the resultant 44 GB movie gave excellent image sharpness in still views, but for views of moving objects and also panned footage from the camera, closer viewing showed fine comb-outlining on most objects, but especially on narrow vertical objects. Is this what some of you call "jaggies" and is it an interlacing artifact? Whatever it is it was NOT in the iMovie Project but was introduced by the compression process Project->>Movie. Still worse was the jerky playback of the movie. The "IMovie Inspector" info confirmed that the movie had been made during the compression process at 25 frames per second whereas playback was in the range of only 3 to 10 fps! Previously made shorter Quicktime HD movies have not shown this jerky playback and played at 25 fps. Can anyone explain why this jerky playback occurred with the the longer 44GB movie?
Finally I made a DVD by dragging the uncompressed iMovie HD Project icon directly onto a DVD theme in iDVD and burning. The result was OK on both the computer and on TV but not great. Close viewing on the computer showed an effect which looked like a thin film of water rippling horizontally. This effect also showed in TV viewing of the DVD. Interestingly, this effect was almost eliminated when "Deinterlace" was UNCHECKED in the iDVD player viewing options.
My own conclusion is that the highest quality for archiving and playback is achieved by storing the large edited iMovie HDV PROJECT on an external hard drive and playing it back at full screen size on the Mac computer. In this way the iMovie editing functions such as the Timeline are hidden from view and cause no distraction when watching the superb HDV quality.
IS THERE A BETTER WAY?
Please comment and advise.
