Help with Choosing f4v Video Bitrates

Hello,
I don't know if this is the correct forum but the topic is relevant to Flash.
I have a video business and my website has a lot of video examples. I wanted to show some image quality as well as a decent frame size for viewing.
The video files were encoded in AME at vbr 775kbps (max of 1100kbps) with a frame size of 720x405
Do you think these bitrate settings are acceptable for internet speeds today?
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Could you explain download rate statistics?
Is this the rate that is recorded when people watch video over the internet?

Need help with choosing a PSU

hey guys,
i need some help with choosing a right PSU for my gaming rig. i plan on doing some overclocking for the first time, and from what i understand the regular no name PSU that came with my case just won't be enough. so here is what i'm currently looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-103-910&depa=1
my question is, is this a good PSU? it's going for roughly $100 and i'm willing to pay around that much. can someone tell me if this is a good choice, or any other recommendations? thanks in advance!
btw, my specs are below in my sig...

LOL...you ol fartin' son-of-a-gun!!!! We gotta be supportive to all here - no favorites. But if I had to make choices, you're the first one I'd help build one!!!! Feel better now ....you 'ol Salty Dog?
I just may have to make a trek up to Washington one day, to see the U.S.S. Washington....berthed in Bremerton?, and meet you, you crazy mad-for-life-lovin-computer jockey!!

Please Help... Video Bitrate Garbage

This is long, but it is detailed. Please help.
So I have been working on the finalization of a film for broadcast for the past 2 months. I have gone through every step imagineable, even up to having a professional sound mix done. I finished the DVD last night and went to build it. And of course I get "Video Bitrate too High." I have been searching the forums for info on this and I got the bit about aifs are too big, etc. Which is ridiculous because if they are too big, why are they an option?
So...I Read I am supposed to use A.Pack to render my audio and export out AC3 files. So here's my question. I'll try and be as detailed as possible.
I have multiple exported audio clips. There's audio files for the menus, the film, extras, etc. Everything is in stereo. Some of the FCP files have audio tracks with 6 or so tracks. When I export them, they will be mixed into a stereo 2 track mix. Here's my question... when I use A.Pack, I'm assuming that I'm going to be using the "2/0 (L,R)" channels under "Audio Encoding Mode." Why? Because it's a stereo mix. But when I drop the aif on the left and right Input Channels in A.Pack, I have to choose Left or Right. Will A.Pack keep my left and right channels seperate or will it take the stereo mix and put both L/R channels on the Left and Both L/R channels on the right.
I did some tests and it seems to be mushing them all together. The only way I have been able to separate the tracks and make sure that the left audio is on the left track and the right audio is on the right track is to go into FCP, export an aif stereo mix, re-import it into my FCP file, take the left track and Pan Left and take the right track and Pan Right. That way keeping my stereo files seperate. Then export an aif through compressor. Then importing that aif file into A.Pack and export again.
This cannot be right. If this is the way we are supposed to be doing things, I'm just gonna end it now.
Can someone please give me a list of steps I should be taking to correct this problem. Also, everyone is talking about limiting their bit rates to 5 or 7 or whatever. Where are you guys finding this? I don't even know how you ste the limit or what program you do it in.
Thank you

Two things:
Uncompressed audio aiff coupled with a high maximum bit rate of 7.5 or higher will cause a bit rate too high error because combined they exceed maximum data throughput for DVD recordables.
You set the maximum bit rate by using a pre set in Compressor or creating your own.
Do a google search for a.pack tutorials:

Help with exporting Minecraft video

Hello. My name is Reynir Aron. I make Minecraft videos and I recently switched from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro CS6 and I love using Premiere.
However there is one little problem, when I export the video (even if I do it through Media Encoder) the video looks very smoothed out (for example the text looks really crappy and isn't pixellated).
Can anybody help me? The video is not being scaled up, the source video, my sequence and the export settings are all 1280x720.
By the way, is there any plugin or anything that lets me export using QuickTime Pro 7?
Here is a screenshot of the output I get:
This also happens if I check "Use Maximum Render Quality".
This is what I see in Premiere's Program window:
I have an iMac8,1 (Early 2008) with a 2,8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB and I'm running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I think my daughter is using FRAPS, but of course not transcoding, just putting that right into Premiere. If your captured file is 30fps, what is the transcoded ProRes file? I don't know if ProRes supports non-video settings, so maybe that is converted to 29.97? But then the edit sequence is 30fps, and I do see an issue - FIELDS is set to LOWER, but should be PROGRESSIVE. That could be causing the jaggies issue on your output.
How did you create the editing Sequence? Try creating a NEW SEQUENCE with the same settings, except make it Progressive, then copy/paste contents of interlaced sequence into the progressive sequence and then Export again, see if that helps. Or just do a short sample to check, to save time.
Thanks
Jeff

Help With Choosing The Technology

Hello,
I need help in choosing the appropriate technology for the application that I'm going to be creating.
The characteristics of the system that have been decided until now:
Standalone app built on either Flex/Flash/AIR
Restricted to using the system on a single computer, hence can be a tightly coupled system
The server component of the system needs to be closed source and robust, for which im thinking something like a Java backend,etc,etc.
In a completely new environment, all that i need to be able to do is install just the AIR application and not worry about installing extra stuff for the server support.
Thanks In Advance for anyone who can help me out with this.

If you are saying you want the server component to be on the same machine as the Flex app, then your choices are severely limited due to the sandbox, unless of course you are using AIR, then you can just use the SQLite database.
But if there will be a sevrer component on another machine on the web, you could use BlazeDS, and like I said, its free and very robust.

I need help with rendering a video.

PC specs: http://gyazo.com/8c5f268350b92762adc1f4229797eba5
Adobe After Effects info: Updated about an hour ago.
Video File info: http://gyazo.com/90a0b66c4dfa99d9d396eb561ac79a49 and http://gyazo.com/74ef689f606792b8a855e6e7d3c45396
Problem: I can't render the effects I added. The render time is over 300 hours.
Details: I got AE yesturday and I imported in a video that I already edited and rendered with Sony Vegas 12. I imported it into AE to add some 3D tracked text for the intro. I added all the text in and I'm ready to render. First try rendering I just get the same exact video I imported, no effects, no text, nothing different. The first render took about 19 minutes. Now the second time I tried changing the format that it would render to. I changed it to h.624 and got told it would take 434 hours to render, I waited about 5 minutes and that time never dropped. I stopped the render, looked online and was told restarting my computer might help. I restarted and tried to render this time in Quicktime, I got about 345 hours this time. Also I was only using 11% of 11.9gb of RAM according to AE.
The video does not have that many effects in it at all. It is simply 3D text tracked to an object for about 7 seconds. I also just need the intro to render so I can put it back together in Vegas 12. Everytime it does render I end up with the same exact video with no effects.
This is what I'm seeing right now: http://gyazo.com/f5fcc73636171c8213451288a507c2ae 14 hours to render a 10 second clip with only some 3D text. about 300 frames.

Thanks for posting the screenshots. It really helps with assessing your problem.
You say "just some 3D text" but I presume this is extruded 3D text using the Ray Traced render option in After Effects.
Unfortunately, your AMD display card does not allow GPU acceleration of After Effects Ray Traced rendering, with the result that you will see ridiculous render times like those you are seeing. The AE Ray Traced render engine is extremely slow without exactly the right display card - see the System Requirements here.
If you are using AE CC you may wish to explore the Cinema 4D integration with AE.
Otherwise, you can fake 3D extrusion by manually building a stack of identical layers in a precomp, or using a script that does the stacking for you.
You can also try third party 3D plugins like Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator, or Video Copilot Element 3D.

Help with detecting child video playback end

I have a flash file that plays multiple videos. I'm trying to
set it up so that all of the videos are loaded by a second (child)
swf, imbedded in the first. The first (root) would call the second
(child) swf, play the video, and at the end of the video, playback
of the parent swf would resume. I can't seem to figure out how to
do this. If I try to make a call to the root from the second swf, I
of course can't because it doesn't know the root exists. The parent
(root) swf has the following code on the frame that calls the
child:
~~~
stop();
var loadVideo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("videoinset.swf");
var videoLoader:Loader = new Loader();
videoLoader.load(loadVideo);
// Identifies which frame to play in inset video
var vidclip:String = "intro";
function swfLoaded(myEvent:Event):void {
stage.addChild(videoLoader);
var mycontent:MovieClip=myEvent.target.content;
videoLoader.x = 210;
videoLoader.y = 150;
mycontent.gotoAndPlay(vidclip);
videoLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfLoaded);
~~~
How can I tell it that when the child gets to frame(#), to go
back to the root and resume play?
I am using netstream to play the videos. There are 6, each
called by a different frame in the videoinset child swf.
Thanks for any help with this.

Any help with this really would be appreciated; if I have not
explained it clearly enough, by all means please let me
know.

Need help with a lyrics video

Ok so I am having a problem with a lyrics video I am making, my very first. I have looked up camera tutorials on youtube and still can not solve the problem. It is very hard for me to explain it in text so I made this short video in which I explain the problem, please if you have the time watch it and maybe you can tell me what is the problem

Your video shows the problem but not much of how you are rigging your camera. I think you have made the camera moves much too complicated. It's always best to think of the AE camera as if it were a real camera on a stage. Think of your 3D layers as actors. If it is easier to move the actors than the camera then move the actors. You have created a very complex 3D set where the camera must fly up and over and around in a large arc. I would have just put a 3D null in the center of the text layers, made it the parent, then animated the null. Any camera moves would have been a simple dolly in and out or a short truck right and left.
If you want to keep the current setup and figure out what is going on with the camera then open up multiple views so you can see what is going on with the camera moves. I've never used SureTarget so I don't know how it functions but I suspect that something like gimbal lock is happening or your orientation is being fouled up because the camera is going over the top and then ending up upside down on the other side of the text layers.

I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

Help with choosing the right specifications for a Macbook Pro Retina?

Opinions needed....
So I'm new to Macs, but I know what I want to achieve and I feel this is the right route to choose. I'm looking at delving into the world of music production, using Logic pro 9 and garageband, but I also enjoy watching High definition Movies and televison so I know that the Retina display is definatley the right choice for me. However, I'm unsure on the amount of RAM & Which processer I should choose. I have read a fair bit on forums and online about the new retina macbooks being 'locked' from upgrading, so the 16GB of RAM is an immediate choice for logetivity.
The choice of processor is when I start to become clouded in my choice. As forementioned, I'm looking at running logic pro, as well as high def movies. There is also a possibilty at looking into photo and video editing, Whether that be in final cut pro or photoshop... But I want to leave my options open.
I think the choice of 16GB of RAM, 2.6Ghz processor, with a 256GB hard drive ( as i have 1.5TB external space) would be a good choice. Once I've added on applecare that comes out at around £2350, Which is a significant investment, but one that I think will help me immensely for the future. I am interested in other peoples opinions on my possible choice because, as I said before, I'm new to the world of Macs and making the right choice is essential. As a side note, the choice of upgrades also ensures a reasonable resale value, which is a bonus.
Regards

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

Please help with audio and video not syncing.

I'm using Encore 3, and have already authored a DVD a month ago without a glitch. The following are the same steps I used, but this time around, the video and audio in Encore are not syncing.
Here's what I've done.
1) I export my Final Cut projects to .mov using the following settings (Share > Master File).
Format: Video and Audio
Video codec: H.264
Resolution: 1920x1080
Audio file format: Quicktime Movie (AAC)
Include chapter markers: Unchecked
Roles as: Quicktime Movie
2) I run the .mov file in Compressor using the "Disc Burning" preset.
3) I then import the .ac3 and .m2v files that Compressor created into Encore.
4) In Encore, I select both files and go to New > Timeline.
In the Timeline window, the durations on both are the same. But I don't understand why the audio and video are not synced when I preview or when I burn a test DVD. The audio comes in just a tad late.
Video Clip:
Source In: 00;00;00;00
Duration: 00;02;33;29
In-Point: 00;00;00;00
Out-Point: 00;02;33;29
Audio Clip:
Source In: 00;00;00;00
Duration: 00;02;34;00
In-Point: 00;00;00;00
Out-Point: 00;02;34;00
What's puzzling is that two of the 10 videos I've import to Encore are synced perfectly -- same export settings from FCP, same settings Compressor.
Please help.
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark.
Do you have any situations where there is more than one video file in a timeline?
Secondly - why are you using H264 HD files for a DVD? This is using lossy compression to make the H264, which is in turn then scaled & even further bitrate reduced for M2V.
I would give it a try rendering an SD video file for use in Encore - not the H264 - and starting out with Dolby Digital or LPCM audio, not AAC.
As with all DVD authoring programs, Encore works best with DVD compliant assets - which you are most definitely using - but I still think you are over-complicating things by using H264/AAC at all.
Eliminating this may help.

Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry. I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
TECHNICAL ASIDE:
rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

Help with print to video

have canon xl2, Mac os x 10, Fcp 5 and trying to print to video. there is no video only audio. We have done a trash of qt files and reinstalled, repaired disk permissions and rebooted and used firewire basic ntsc setting and enabled all frames for external video and still the only thing are getting is audio. We can scrub thru the timeline and it shows but if print or play no video
This is for a film festival and is due in 1 week for final trasfer to beta, please save our production!!!!
Thanks,

Turn everything off.
Turn your camera on to VCR mode, load your tape.
Now power up your mac, and launch FCP.
Close any projects that open with it.
Choose the DV NTSC (or PAL if you're overseas) Easy Setup from the FCP menu.
Open your project, and activate the timeline window that contains your edited, rendered sequence.
Now, in the View menu, set external video to OFF. (This may be the fix for you)
Go to Print To Video in the File menu, and set your slate, black, etc.
The XL2 may or may not work with the Start Recording Automatically box checked; you can try it with or without.
Hit OK in the Print to Video window.
If you did all these things in the exact above order, your camera should kick in and start recording.
