Help - convert 60p sequence to 30pe

I've built an entire sequence with a lot of music and motion keyframes in 720p60. The original footage was shot in 60p. I decided to try to move it to a 30p sequence, because I believe 60 is causing lots of output overhead issues. I cut and pasted everything from 60 to 30, but all of the timing got corrupted. Is there a better way to migrate and still retain all of the clips to edit?

What are these "output overhead issues?"
YOu can't just change frame rates like that...the only way to get good proper frame rate changes would be to take all the master footage into Compressor and convert it there, then re-edit the sequence with the new clips. The way you are doing it is rife with issues.
But what are the overhead issues, perhaps we can solve that.

Converting image sequence

Dear Sirs,
when I convert image sequence into a ProRes 4444 + Alpha using Compressor i noticed a difference in brightness with the original content.
This happens every time i elaborate in After Effect a special effect.
The images in output from AF are identical to the original, after the conversion there is this difference.
I tried to create a custom ProRes 4444 + Alpha setting changing to "none" the gamma conversion into the Quick Time settings panel, nothing changes.
Can you help me to find the right solution?
thank you
Aldo

Thanks, Nick, that already doubles or more my knowledge.
As far as final form, could be one of many. Leading candidates are QuickTime (.mov), MPEG (.mp4) or iPhone (.m4v). (Is iPhone format just a special case of MPEG-4?)
I'm generating the frames as .png files using Perl's GD library. They are very compact and in fact the primitive QuickTime movies I make from them, with all media included in the file, are still very small. (E.g. a 600-frame movie is half a meg.) Converting each frame to JPG actually increases the size dramatically (could spend more time tweaking the JPG conversion).
At first I thought .png would be good because I could play them easily in an iPhone app. But then I started thinking perhaps it would be better to turn them into a movie and then tell the iPhone app "play movie" rather than handle all the timing of rendering each frame myself. And synchronization of audio... a big can o' worms to roll your own.
I have had the experience twice of upgrading QuickTime to QuickTime Pro only to see the Pro-ness vanish in the next QT upgrade. @#$%! But you may be right that QT Pro would suffice.

Time remapping in 24p vs 60p sequence

I'm using 96fps footage from GH4 and go from fast to slow speed ramps all day long. When doing so in 60p sequences I get far smoother playback when ramping the speed up since there are obviously more frames per second in this sequence vs. the 24p sequence (choppy looking). Since I create the entire project in 24p for film, how can I get the 60p smoothness for the slow mo shots to work that way in the 24p sequence? Nesting does not seem to help, it makes the clips look even more jittery. I feel like I am missing something simple here. Thanks guys.

24p is for celloloid, a compromise of quality vs. costs, created in the 1920s, 18 inch per sec of 35mm film.
what has the frame-rate to do with 'film-look'?
first hand - nothing.
'film' look is based upon color, contrast, depth of field and motion-blurr - which IS hard to accomplish, when frame-rate is 60fps. you can acomplish a film-look with any frame-rate ....
2nd: video/TV/Youtube are based upon 25/30fps ... so, any 'cinematic' source needs a) slight speed-up or b) a complicated, pulldown, quality lossy process ...
if you don't publish your recordings in the next Cineplex, stay with 25/30.
60p-recording is nice in a 25/30 project, 'cause you can create super smooth slowmos.
not every delivery media or monitor supports 60p ......

Download helper converts to .flv instead of .avi

since a few months when downloading a video from the same source, the download helper converts to .flv and no longer to.avi.
what do I need to do to have .avi?
Even if it downloads as .avi, it converts automatically to .flv .
Thank you for help.

The first thing that you need to consider is whether or not
this project
will work well on the web. If you have to make a bunch of
compromises to
get it working on the web, then it may not represent you
well.
That said, you can use FLVs in Director MX 2004 with the
latest updates.
However, you can't stream the FLVs, you have to encapsulate
each one in
an SWF and then use the SWF. So if its the streaming that
you're after,
you may want to use QT instead. You can stream that.
Regardless of the video media that you use, you need to be
sure that you
aren't taking a smooth CD based experience and turning it
into a click
and wait, click and wait, less than elegant web experience.
If you want
to showcase your video capabilities then you may want to
build a web
specific tool. Or, you may want to let site visitors request
a CD to be
mailed to them.

Help with correct sequence settings for exporting QT

hi -- I am about to export a QT movie of a sequence in FCP. There are three different properties of clips in the sequence -- footage I shot on a Panasonic HD HMC150 was compressed with Apple ProRes422 and footage I shot on the JVCHD - can't remember model - uses the 720p24 codec. All other properties for these clips are the same.
I also use some archival footage in the sequence was shot at 29.97 fps, 720x480, compressed using the DV/DVCPro NTSC and a different pixel aspect.
I also use jpegs.
Here's the question. The Sequence Settings are HDV 720p24. Do I need to change the properties for the clips that don't match the Sequence Settings BEFORE I export a QT File? Or, do I export a QT file then import it back into FCP at the 720p24 setting and export that sequence as a QT file.
Thanks

ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
Sequence Settings:
ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
I made stills from the same frames in the different sequences to show the difference between them. Unfortunately, I can't attach these images in the forum.
So here's the sequence settings as of now for both the original and current sequences:
Easy Setup:
Format - HD
Codec - HDV 720p24
23.98 fps
1280x720
Sequence Settings:
1280x720
Aspect Ratio - hdtv 720p 16:9
pixel: square
compressor appleprores 422
Field Dominance - none
editing timebase: 23.98
Render Codec - same as sequence codec
Clip Codecs:
Primarily HDV 720p24
Some Apple ProRes 422
Archival Footage - Dv/DVCPRO NTSC
Okay, now here's where things start getting hairy. I read in the FCP manual today that I should convert the sequence setting to the same codec as the majority of the clips -- in this case that was 720p24. So I changed the sequence codec from AppleProRes 422 to 720p24. Then I rendered the sequence before exporting it as a QT file. -- not noticing until after I burned a DVD about the image size problem.
Now, this evening, while I was checking the settings of the older original sequences -- trying to figure out what went wrong -- I realized that the original sequence used the AppleProRes 422 codec!! So, I converted my current sequence from the 720p24 codec BACK to Apple ProRes 422 - hoping this might solve my larger image problem -- BUT the image size stayed the same. Am I just compressing over and over again and screwing up my sequences.
The weird thing is that MOST of the sequence copies that are not the original -- converted to the changed codec even though I had only the sequence I was changing open ---- there must be a reason for all this. I hope you all can figure it out for me. I've been spending hours at it.
Thanks again.

Need help converting Client-Server to JSP

Hi;
I have a purely data driven, dynamic, meta driven program
in Java 1.4. Runs on almost any SQL database, and the
systems analysts can do most of the programming just by
entering the data. All screens and sql are auto-genned
at runtime.
I was wondering if there was anyone interested in helping
convert to JSP. I would be willing to give part of the
company profits. It is better then me asking a million
questions here, although there are lots of great experts here.

How do I batch convert 700 sequences to .mov and .mv4 files?

I have 700 separate sequences in FCP. Each one is 20-30 seconds long. I need to rename them and convert them to .mov files and then also .m4v files?
Is there an easy way to batch this or do I have to do them one by one by one by one..........

Try using the *Export Queue* (in FCP click Window > Export Queue).
1. Once the window is open, in the Browser window, highlight the sequences you wish to export.
2. Click and drag them into the *Export Queue* window. You should see a folder called +Batch 1+, with all your sequences.
3. Click on the +Batch 1+ folder and press the Settings... button at the bottom of the window.
4. Set your output destination.
5. To export full res, the format should be *QuickTime Movie*, and the settings should be *Item Settings*.
6. Include *Audio and Video*, or *Video Only*, depending on what you need.
7. Check the *Make Self-Contained* check box.
If your sequences are NTSC DV, to export .m4v you will want to use Compressor 2, so that you can fix the aspect ratio (NTSC is 720x480 while the iPod size is 640x480 or 320x240. This is the difference between square and rectangular pixels.).
1. In the *Compressor Preset* window, find the +iPod Video+ folder, and the +iPod Video+ preset inside the folder.
2. Click the preset and press the *Duplicate Selected Setting* button at the top of the window. A setting called +iPod Video-Copy+ should appear in your Custom folder.
3. Click on your new setting.
4. In the Inspector window, use the 6 buttons to change the settings to what you need.
5. Make sure in the Encoder section, that you choose your size (640 VGA or 320 QVGA) and pick the proper aspect ratio (4:3).
6. Save your settings.
7. Drag the full res files you exported from FCP into the Batch window. *Select All* (Command + A).
8. Right-click in the Setting column and choose your +iPod Video-Copy+. It will apply that setting to all your videos (it may take a while depending on how many you do at once.)
9. Save your batch.
10. Submit!
For renaming, you might try an Automator script. Search the forums or Google, if you need help with that!
Hope this helps!

Convert Multicam Sequence to a "Regular" Sequence?

I tried to export a multicam sequence from Premiere Pro CS6 to Davinci Resolve Via, XML and AAF, in both cases I get a Mess of more than 96 tracks in Davinci, is there anyway to convert the multicam sequence to a regular sequence with clip names, timecode, sorce reel, etc?
I will appreciate any help
Best!
Armando Ciurana

Actually I just use the EDL as a way to tell Resolve scene detect to "cut here".
In PrPro I do a duplicate of the edited multicam sequence were I keep only the edited multicam track (on a single video track) with straight cuts. Everything else is removed (audio clips, audio tracks, video tracks, titles, etc). I export the EDL from this simplified sequence to be sure that it contains only the cuts I want to get on Resolve.
In resolve I get to my flat export on the media page, right click on it and chose scene detect, then click on the option menu on the upper right corner of the scene detect window and select "Load EDL". Resolve asks if I'm sure and if I want to get rid of the existing detected cuts (I answer yes even if there isn't any, just to be sure). It instantly adds the cuts from the EDL, I browse through them with N and P to check if everything is ok, then "Add Cuts to Media Pool on the lower right. I then go to the conform page and append those clips to a new timeline, and I'm good to go.
If you try to use the EDL as a real EDL in the conform page you'll have the same problem than with the XML, as it won't reference the real files / reel / TC.
Best to you too !

Batch Convert TGA Sequences to Quicktime -- Compressor?

Probably a long shot, but if you happen to know of a tool for Mac that will allow import of Targa Sequences (.tga) and then export to Quicktime, your help would be greatly appreciated. Looking to do a batch of several sequences.
I know it can be done in After Effects one at a time, but some kind of one trick pony utility is what I'm after. Help and knowledge greatly welcomed!

Answering my own question. Graphic Converter by Lemke Software was the closest I found and allows coversion of TGA to Quicktime Sequences.
Thanks all for looking.

Converting NTSC sequence to PAL?

I have read through the posts and it seems that this should be possible, but the only thing I have found to steer me along is a post suggesting the use of Standard Conversion, but that link clearly states that it not be considered for sequences in versions 5 and up of FCP. So I am desperate. I have never done this before, totally at sea - can someone tell me the steps and settings needed to convert footage in a HDV NTSC sequence (containing SD footage) to a SD PAL format? Any help or links would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Why not use MPEG STREAMCLIP 1.9.2?
http://www.squared5.com/
You would have to export the Sequence into QuickTime:
1: From FCPro > File/Export/QuickTime Movie
2: Keep all the same settings
3: Uncheck "Make Movie Self Contained"
4: Name and Save your movie.
This will create a referenced movie from the timeline of FCPro.
5: Bring newly created .mov file into MPEG STREAMCLIP
6: Use the file menu Export into whatever you'd like.
Let me know how it works for you!
