HOW DO I CONVERT F4VS TO APPLE PRO RES?

Hi, I need to transfer a premiere pro project as a XML to FCP so i plan to convert the files into premiere pro into Apple prores so they can opened in a Apple Pro Res project in FCP. The files I need to convert are the original MOVs and F4vs so the movs won't be a problem but the I've tried converting the f4Vs in Adobe Media Encoder and it seems to suggest I need FCP installed on my computer to convert them to pro res bu there must be a way of getting F4vs in to FCP. This is a project I'm transferring to be opened on someone elses computer in their FCP so how is this done?
PLEASE HELP!
I have the apple pro res codec already installed on my computer and downloaded a free trial of Pavtube but when I tried converting a F4v file into prores it said I need Final Cut already installed on my computer so would wondershare say the same thing. Sorry but I just want to be clear so...If I convert all the movie files in my Premiere Project into Apple Pro Res then export that as a XML then send all the individual files along with the XML project file to another computer they would be able to open the XML project all good and fine in FCP7?... There isn't any speed adjusted clips in the project as with those I nested and converted them into f4vs in Media Encoder then reimported them into the Pro project, then there are a few clips that I have adjusted the scale and postion and put on a slight fade on some clips- would those effects transfer to FCP7 ok ?
The project files I used in Pro are-
Editing Mode: DSLR,
25fps,
frame size 1920 x 1080, vertical 16:9,
Pixel Aspect Ratio, Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields : No Fields(Progressive Scan)
Sample Rate 48000,
Video Previews-
Preview File Format I-Frame Only Mpeg
Codec Mpeg I-frame
So if they open a project in FCP7 with as much of those settings as possible and in Apple Pro Res and then import the XML would that work?
Any advice would be extremely welcome and I'll be very greatful.Cheers
Simon

Try using MPEG Streamclip. Seems to work for a lot of folks.

Using Media Manager to convert movies to apple pro res

Using Media Manager to convert movies to apple pro res, How can I convert my existing media files from quicktime movies into apple pro res 422 ?
After they are converted will I have to re-point my fcp project to the converted files?
Thank You for taking time to answer these
Carl

Sorry, I am not following.
You said you have converted them to prores LT & are having this issue, or is it with H264 files in your edit?
How did you convert? using media manager, or compressor?
if you still are using the H264 media that would be the issue.
That is not an editing codec. it is a delivery codec.
The thing to have done would have been to convert to prores before you started editing.
or did you do that?

Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

Hi guys.
I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
I have captured a still shot of the frame here
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/FrameError.jpeg
Here are the settings I am using for the conversion

Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

Actually I think I might have found the answer.
After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
Thanks for your help.
PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

Uncompressed QT vs Apple Pro Res

Hi All
We are about to venture into 16mm transfer to HD for the first time. The telecine house can give us Uncompressed QTs or Apple Pro Res on a hard drive.
These are the pro's and con's as I far as I can tell:
Uncompressed QT:
- Large Files
- Cannot be used (without conversion) on our current FCP set-up
- Highest quality, which is great for archiving and future use of the media
Apple Pro Res:
- Smaller files
- Can be used directly on our set-up, without any conversion (there are some time constraints on the project
- Almost the same quality as Uncompressed (???)
The workflow I am considering is to get the files back as uncompressed qt's (to make sure the Masters are the highest quality possible) then convert them to Apple Pro Res in Compressor, then edit. Does that sound right?
Is there any point to doing a 'neg match' (editing in Apple Pro Res then upconverting to uncompressed qt's as if in an off-line/on-line environment)?
And, lastly, what Apple Pro Res format should I ask for?
Any other golden nuggets of information you ca add will be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hi Jokke, If it's not too late, I've just been through exactly the same decision: shot on super 16 and had to worry about what to do with it. For me the decision had a lot to do with speed of editing, size of files and the way the final thing would be presented (HD Mpeg projected in my case) For all these reasons, the Prores codec worked fine. All the film buffs will scoff at this but very often the differences are really indiscernible and you won't need a bunch of supercomputers to crunch through the uncompressed footage with filters and dissolves applied to it. If you choose to go with Prores, you should definitely take the 422 HQ variety, although I think there's a newer better Prores codec coming out. Maybe one of the more tech-savvy persons on the forum would know about that.

This is the clip:
This is the sequence:
I know they both should match. Question is, should I re convert the clips in mpeg using different size settings? Or should I change the sequence settings? how?
Thanks A LOT.

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Converting 7D camera footage to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ

I shot footage with the Canon 7D. I brought the footage to Compressor (latest version as part of Final Cut Studio). I am transcoding the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ for editing in Final Cut Pro 7.
A few clips have been transcoded. I open up the original file and the Pro Res HQ file and compare them side by side on my Mac Book Pro. I would like to attach the screenshot but don't think I can do it that here. Anyway, the Pro Res clip is slightly smaller when opened with Quicktime 7 and 10. Also, the colors seem to be darker and the clip a lot muddier than before.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

My clips do experience a slight color shift but nothing nominal. However, I have no problems converting my files using the preset and opening them up in FCP 7. When I open them in QTX they appear the same size as their original. Have you checked the inspector pane on your MBP? I have had issues where QTX will not open a video full size due to screen resolution limitations and would always downsize instead. That could be your issue since the MBP cannot display a 1080p file at full resolution.

How do I convert .m4v to Apple Quick-Time 5, 6, and 7 (.mov, .qt)

how do I convert .m4v to Apple Quick-Time 5, 6, and 7 (.mov, .qt)?? Thanks!

I once had a problem with a media player not handling .m4v files correctly. Simply changing the extension to .mov fixed the problem. Just delete the "4" and replace it with an "o". Ignore the warning that may appear regarding changing the file type - in fact it's preferable that you make a copy of the .m4v file beforehand.
There's no guarantee that this will help with your particular issue, but worth a try!

FCX transcoding media is only in apple pro res 422? how to choose proper apple pro res format

I have imported some footage shot witha dslr camera in FCX [(1280 × 720, H.264, AAC, HD (1-1-1)], I have immediately transcoded in high quality to have better format to edit with, my question is can I choose other apple pro res (non for this case) quality format, (422 high quality or 4444) to convert into?
whats is the the proper apple pro res format to choose relating any codec?

So now what I do is, I use Final Cut Pro 7 to ingest and transcode the footage. The rest in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any better solution?
Just to throw another 2¢ into this.
Agree with what AndyNick
says about PR HQ being overkill for footage originally shot in 4:2:0. – with the possible exception that in some cases graphics and the grading of those might benefit.
If storage isn't an issue – and if your computers are beefy enough to push these big files around – then it''s hard to see any downside, if you decide to use the HQ flavor. In which case, I would say there is no better solution than using the Log & Transfer function of FCP7 for the transcode. It could also be done in Compressor (slower) or MPEG Streamclip (faster), but in neither case would it give you the combination of control and speed as FCP 7 L&T.
Good luck.

Export to quicktime audio out of sync Apple Pro Res 422

hello forum!
In a tizz as have an film due tomorrow but when I export to quicktime from final cut 7, the audio is out of sync...
I've scoured the forums and lots of other people seem to have this problem when using H264, however I converted to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) before pulling files into final cut, plus all of the sequence and final cut settings (as far as I can tell) are already set to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT). I don't understand what I am doing wrong!
nb. the files seem to play okay in VLC

Thanks for your reply David! Indeed my audio is 16 bit 48 kHz and there is no MP3 audio (have a wav music file included).
I just spoke to a techy friend who said the fact it is playing smoothly in VLC indicates the problem is with quicktime and not with the film itself, so I am currently compressing to something smaller and will see how I fare from there!

Apple Pro Res 422 versus Apple Intermediate Codec

I'm new to the world of FCE HD. I'm transfering video from a Canon HG10 to my MacBookPro and storing on an external drive. Earlier projects are bringing in video with Apple Intermediate Codec compressor... no problems, editing doesn't require rendering... Now video is being brought in as Apple Pro Res 422. The Pro Res is requiring that I render everything once I bring it from the viewer to the canvas. I've searched all menus, preferences and settings looking for where and how to change this setting. Does anyone have a solution to this snag?
The data rate for Pro Res 422 is 15.3mb/s and for Apple intermediate codec is 9.9
None of this makes sense to me... please assist.

Hi(Bonjour)!
How did you convert to ProRes 422?
ProRes 422 codec is a part of final cut studio 2.
FCE HD cannot edit nor render in ProRes like Final Cut Pro. You material havs to be NTSC, PAL or AVCHD and HDV (converted to Apple Intermediate Codec).

Where is apple pro res format in mpeg streamline??

i'm brand new to this. have a canon 5D Mark II and final cut express 4.
am using mpeg streamline to convert files to work in FCE.
people here seem to suggest "apple pro res" format but i don't see it in mpeg streamline.

ProRes is only available with FCP. For FCE you have to use the Apple Intermediate Codec.

Apple pro res 4444 info?

COuld someone tell me the data rate for apple pro res 4444 codec? how many megabytes per second does it demand? Will I be able to run it from a 7200 rpm firewire 800 single mobile drive?
Thanks!
