How do I render best quality in 1920x1080 / having problems.

Im at the end of a film.
Shot on Canon HV20 1940x1080.
Im trying to render a clip at full 1940x1080 BEST QUALITY, when I press match sequance it makes the settings 1440x1080 mpeg preview.
There is no custom setting under AVI.
Ive tried also H.264 HDTV 1080p 1920x1080 and it comes out the same as 1440x1080. Theres a lot of noise on the picture.
Is there a big difference between 1920 and 1440?
Im sure I set up the project HDV 1080.
Advice/ Help please!!

Just read 1920x1080 only renders in PF24 Mode...whats that??
Ive just read this
Oh boy! This is a big discussion, and I highly recommend that you read the HDMI threads, but I'll give you the short version.
First, let me tell you that the sensor is actually bigger than 1920x1080, which is 2 megapixels. It's actualy 3 megapixels for photographs, but it's masked off.
You are probably capturing through firewire off of your videotape. HD video is ALWAYS 1440 x 1080 with 4:2:0 colorspace and a 1.33 pixel ratio. The pixels are stretched to give the wider format.
That is the technical standard to fit the video stream within the data rate for the mini-DV tape. Every HD camera that records to mini-DV uses that format. You are not losing anything compared to any other camera.
The interesting thing is that the output from HDMI is 1920x1080 with 4:2:2 color space and square pixels. The HV20/HV30 is one of the few that has HDMI output.
There is much debate on whether the data stream is being intercepted before it's compressed (which is what it appears to be IMHO since there is more detail in the HDMI capture.) HDMI Comparison Thread.
HDMI is captured with an Intensity card by Black Magic Design. The biggest drawback of this is you need a computer running at the same time. That means indoors, or with an extension cord, or portable power. Portable Intensity Thread.
A big advantage is you get two videos at once. One on the computer and one on the video tape.
So its
1440 firewire max
1920 for HDMI.

How to render best quality video in AE CS5

Which format is the best quality in export setting?
I want render the MTS(AVCHD) fromat video with no wastage, and also keep the video as orignal size.

I want render the MTS(AVCHD) fromat video with no wastage, and also keep the video as orignal size.
By definition impossible in a compositing program like AE that expands all image data to full RGB and then fully re-compresses it depending on your output format. there will always be loss or a change in file size or both. As David said, render settings are dictated by the use, everything else is utterly beside the point.

How to give client best quality of raw footage

So normally I shoot, edit, and burn sporting events for a certain client. However, this thime the just want to pay for the raw footage. Since I've noveer done this before, I'm a little confused. Usually I would export using Quicktime and then drop th quicktime into iDVD or Roxio and then burn a copy. But since they might want someone else to edit the footage, how do I give them the best quality format. I am sticking with burning something to DVD. But last night I was looking at export using quicktime conversion. There were all kinds of options. What would you recommend for exporting? I would assume if I burn it onto a DVD using iDVD, they would have to rip it to edit it. But doesn't puting something on DVD compress the footage? It is shot in SD, but I want to ensure maximium quality. Any suggestions?

It's a Sony miniDV camera. The footage specs are as follows:
Sony:
Frame Size: 720x480
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO-NT
Data Rate : 3.6MB/sec
Aud Rate 48.0 KHz
Aud Format: 16 Bit
Pixel Aspect: NTSC-CCIR601
Field Dominance: Lower(even)
Or at least that's the information I got from FCE. The footage is 3 seperate camera angels with about 75 minutes for each camera. I'm assuming they mean to have someone else edit it, but what program they would be using, I really don't know. When you state "1) an actual copy of the raw footage", do you mean a tape copy? I do not want to give them the original tapes it was recorded onto.
"QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC" I do not know the difference. I refer to myself as the Cole Trickle (Days of Thunder reference) of video editing. I don't know how or why the car works, I just know how to drive it. With video editing, I do not know all the internal knowledge of aspect ratios or what a codec is, but I know how to tell a story and get that feeling onto a TV screen. Yes, I am limited by my own ignorance, but I am a visual learner. I can read it 100 times, but if someone shows me once I have it down.
Aside from the rant, I want to deliver the footage on DVD. Our original agreement was for myself to edit the footage, but I respect the free market. I want to be as profesional as possible when it comes to business. I fell into this client backasswards, and wasn't meaning to create a full time career, but they liked my work and I liked doing it.

How to achieve the best quality when doing a narration?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to achieve the best possible narration in a documentary I'm doing using the FCP voice over tool, a USB mic, and Final Cut Studio's audio filters. Am I on the right track? How do I clean up an average voice over narration? Do I need additional equipment? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan

The best thing you can do is to record it properly in the first place - if you want it to sound good. The environment you record in is VERY important as is the choice of mic you use ... most of the consumer USB mics aren't all that great in terms of quality.
Record in an acoustically flat room with good sound dampening. Even a clothes closet will do in a pinch. Record through a mixer so you can monitor the VO artist as they record. I've found it better to record to tape (camera or VTR) with a pro mic than to use FCP's voice over tool.

How to export the best quality file from FCE?

Hi people. I was wondering which is the option that I have to choose to get the best quality on an exported file from FCE4. The best quality I get is from the "Export - Quicktime movie..." option, but there is a huge compression as I see. The final product isn't as good as it should. Obviously, it won't be the same as the original material, but I was wondering if there was another way of getting a movie with much more quality, like when you use "Compressor" from the Final Cut Studio. Thanks in advance.

I imported the material through firewire (it was recorded on a miniDV tape). I respected the format of the source and the files I got are top notch. The final movie looks great on the computer, the differences come when burning it to a DVD. I'm using IDVD, and the .mov file exported through the option I mentioned.
I want to burn that .mov file to a DVD, which means there will be another compression to MPEG2 once I burn it through the DVD authoring app, but the product has some kind of "shaking" in the dark areas. It's not so bad, but I would like to get the best quality, like the ones I've got from Compressor. Is it possible using the Export - Quicktime movie option?

Best Quality Setting and Letterboxing problem

Just finished 10 minute production shot with a Canon xl2 in 24p advanced pulldown with 16:9. After exporting with compressor to DVD Studio pro and burning - have some leterboxing and quality is not what I expected. Also - client reports "pause" when playing on new dell. Need the highest quality - but production needs to play on most popular newer model computers. Would appreciate any advice anyone can provide:
1. What is best export setting to use from FCP for DVD production of a 24pa 16:9 project? Should 16:9 be checked under the advanced sequence setting - or does that cause a problem in dvd studio pro?
2. What is best compressor setting? DVDbest quality 90 minute 16:9?
3. In DVD Studio - under the track settings - would you check letterbox, 4;3; or pan-scan & letterbox - why is there not just a 16:9 setting? Why would DVD studio pro indicate the asset is 29 vs 24 FPS?
Really need some help on this - we have a fantastic production and wand it to be displayed in the proper format at the highest quality. Thanks so much.

although your 'normal' rendering shows the correct scenery, it looks in 'best' as if the fall-off settings of your light(s) is too high/low (?? )
I would increase these settings of the lights…

How do i pause quick time recording ? having problem after installing maverick

i have been having issue with quick time recording . after installing this Maverick i and no longer able to pause the Recording.
nothing happens when i press the option key.
done any one know the fix
Thanks

Ski Farm,
I hope you are doing well today! The suggestion provided by altenbach is really good. Alternatively, you can also use a global variable and an event or case structure, to pause the execution of a VI. I have attached an example of a subVI, called by the mainVI, which displays the current iterative count of a while loop. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

Downloading WD4A - Best method?? Having problems

I have downloaded via SDN and FTP. Each time, the file I download (either Part 1 or Part 2), does NOT match the byte count that is recommended? I've tried both file formats as well .tgz and .rar
For Part1, I consistently get 1,331,200 and for Part2, I am getting 1,316,038.
This is leading to a Load_Datasave issue when I try to extract, (file is broken)which leads to the 601 error b/c the directory/file doesn't exist when trying to install.
Any help would be appreciated.
Joe

I Have gotten past the download, but when I extract Part 1, it always ends with an error saying that load_datasave.tg is broken.
I have gotten this error with both, the RAR type and the TGZ type, using 7-zip to extract.

Exporting best quality for DVD

I shot video with a Canon 5d Mk2. 1080p 30 frames, 48k. Looks awesome in Premiere! But when I export the video to Encore i use the Mpeg-2 DVD preset, and it just kills the quality. I have to burn to standard DVDs because my clients need them that way, so Blu ray isn't an option.
I understand it has to compress everything, but i would like to know how to get the best quality possible. It needs to look better! I am using CS5
Please Help!

John,
Thanks for your response. The issue seems so simple since I've followed steps described on Lynda.com back when I was using CS4.
I'm now using CS6.01. I created this video in CS4 and updated it in CS5. PS, AE, and Pr
I've installed all of the updates to CS6. To newest QuickTime and to the Video Card
My PC is running Windows 7 Ent.; 64-bit Xeon CPU Quad 2.8GHz
And I'm not running other software.
The source footage is a sequenced .tiff animation I rendered out of AE.
I've made a video a few years back. A copy is here on YouTube: http://youtu.be/lAh70G_AOFE.
I'm not editing the video. I just get requests to have a DVD of the original source to play in our tradeshows. Sharp copy/product edges. It looks great in Premiere and I've set on paper my standard work from Lynda.com (Premiere Pro CS4 Essential Training - Chapter 16).
I select the Sequence in Premiere Pro and select File / Adobe Dynamic Link / Send to Encore. Then set the Project and Build settings.
But as you can see below the file exported to Encore didn't transcode (?) properly
BEFORE Screen in Premiere:
NEW: I can see now that the Video in the timeline has the jags

How to export and reimport clips maintaining best quality?

I'd like to ask a few questions.
(1) I have several subclips in FCE that I would like to export, so I can import them back into FCE as individual clips, separate from the original capture. I would also like the option to use the exported clips in iMovie project. The most important thing is to save the clips at the highest possible quality. I ran into a problem when trying to import the clips back into FCE.
First, I tried exporting clips using File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion... with the following options:
Video Settings:
Compression Type H.264
Quality: Best (the slider in the Settings window I dragged all the way to the right for Best quality)
Key frame rate: 24
Frame Reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Audio Settings:
Format: Uncompressed
Sample rate: 48 kHz
Sample size: 16
Channels: 2
Prepare for Internet Streaming <unchecked>
The clip was saved to disk. I didn't open or modify the clip at all.
Then I tried using File>Import>Files... but when I tried to import it, I got this error:
"File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
So this is the problem I'm experiencing. Can't re-import the clip into FCE (it imports into iMovie fine, though)
Questions: Am I using "wrong" settings? Why is this happening? How can I export and reimport clips while maintaining best video and audio quality?
(2) A couple related questions: Some of my original source video was recorded at 12-bit quality (32 kHz). I know 16-bit is best (48 kHz) but the camera I used came with factory default 12-bit (and as a novice I didn't know to change it until several months later).
So here are my questions.
(a) If I export these clips using audio export settings at 48 kHz instead of 32 kHz, would that cause any problems?
(b) Would those clips then be recognized by FCE and iMovie as having 48 kHz audio even though it was originally recorded at 32 kHz? (I know the quality will be no better, but I've read somewhere that using 32 kHz audio can cause some problems with out-of-sync audio, particularly in iMovie. My hope is the new clip with the 48 kHz audio will circumvent such problems.)
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

TSchneider: Thanks again for your valuable reply. I have a few follow-up questions.
My first set of questions is about rendering audio to 48kHz in the timeline.
Almost immediately you'll notice that FCE has tagged the
entire audio track with a red bar meaning it will
need to be rendered (if you try to play the clip from
the Canvas controls you'll just get beeping or very
low quality sound). Go up to the Sequence menu and
select the Render All (or Mixdown) command and FCE
will transcode the 32kHz audio of your clip to the
48kHz audio of the sequence it's sitting in.
I followed your instructions and everything seemed to work until I got to the passage above. I dragged the subclips into the timeline. The clips appeared in the timeline but there was no red bar. If I chose Render All from the Sequence Menu, nothing happened. If I chose Export to Quicktime Movie, however, it takes several minutes, apparently rendering the audio and video. If I chose instead, Print to Video, the red bars do appear and the rendering process again gets going. There is a small progress bar for both operations in the center of the screen with a percent done and estimated time remaining.
Question: Why doesn't the red bar appear as soon as the clips are in the Timeline?
Question: Why doesn't Render All (or Render Audio) work? It would be much easier to walk away while all the audio rendered into 48kHz and then come back later to save the individual clips to disk.
My second set of questions pertains to the possibility of using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion as a substitute for Export>Quicktime Movie, mainly for academic instead of practical reasons.
If you export a clip directly from the bin "Using
Quicktime Conversion" there aren't any suitable
conversion video/audio formats that would give you
both video in the right format (for iMovie) and
transcode the audio to the sampling rate you want.
I understand your description of rendering the audio files in the timeline. If only academic, I was trying to see if I could duplicate the results using using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion. I chose Quicktime Movie as the format. The video setting was DV/DVCPRO-NTSC. The audio was uncompressed with 48kHz rate. This created a Quicktime movie file with these formats. If I opened the quicktime movie file in Quicktime and checked the info on the file, the audio was indeed 48kHz.
Question: Does this mean that the Quicktime Conversion process rendered the 32kHz audio to 48kHz audio prior to writing the file? If so, it would seem to bypass the need to render the clips in a sequence (although if I could render all the clips in the sequence at once, while I was away from the computer, it would be faster than rendering and saving each clip one at a time).
Question: When I exported a clip this way, then imported it into iMovie, the original capture date/time info was missing when I got info on the clip. However, when I save the clip using Export>Quicktime Movie, the date/time of capture was still present. Would there be any way to preserve this date/time of capture info when using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion?
Question: If I decided to Export>Using Quicktime Conversion with the above settings (DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, 48kHz audio) there are other options I'm given pertaining to the video settings. There are settings for Compressor Quality, with a sliding bar where you can choose Least, Low, Medium, High, and Best quality; and there is Scan Mode (interlaced or progressive). How does one choose among these? If you want the best quality exported clip, I suppose you would chose best quality, but what scan mode is "best" for my purposes -- interlaced or progressive?
Thanks a lot for your help. I'm learning a lot!

Render the best quality text on the javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas

I try to draw a text on the canvas, but it looks ugly :( I used canvas because I need a matrix or a grid whose cells contain updated text of different styles. Text updates very often! Maybe some one knew another way of how to do this? Some explanations of the problem:
Draw the grid whose cells update very often while scroll in some direction.
Text should have the best quality (with a different styles).
Memory saving.
Thanks in advance.

Stan nailed it, encode direct to MPEG-2 DVD from Premiere, using Media Encoder. However, in regards to the current render looking bad, your source is 16:9 but it looks like it is being encoded as 4:3 and that could have some negative effect. So choose the "MPEG-2 DVD" format, and then the appropriate preset, such as "NTSC Widescreen Progressive" to create the assets to import into Encore an make sure to keep it all 16:9 throughout the workflow
Thanks

Best quality to go from 1920x1080 to 720x480

How do I take 1920x1080 footage and convert it to 720x480 and maintain best quality?
When I use mpeg streamclip and convert via DV-NTSC - the image is distorted. Is there something else I can do?
Will a different Compression other than Apple Motion JPEG A work any differently?

#42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

How to export best quality gif animations in flash

how to export best quality gif animations in flash

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

How can I connect my guitar to ipad2 to create tracks in GarageBand at the best quality leveks

How can I connect my electric guitar to ipad2 and GarageBand to ensure best quality recordings

The analog input of the iOS devices is horrible. I have no idea why but there is horrendous crosstalk between the input and the output. I'm a guitar player and I've been fighting with this since I first purchased my iPad. I also do podcasting.
The cleanest input is obtained by using either the camera kit USB and a compatible device or a unit that specifically utilizes the 50 pin connector.
It also seems like with each iOS update Apple messes with the current available at the 50pin connector so compatible units may become not so compatible. I have used the ART dual pre successfully until this last OS update and now the power supply seems to be an issue.
There is a Griffin USB audio device that works well. I don't have the name handy.

HOW DO I GET THE BEST QUALITY RESULT!?!!?

I have a canon GL2 and when I plug it in directly to the TV and watch my footage the quality is great, I then upload it to Final Cut and the quality is somewhat there, but when I go to export it I can never achieve the quality that it gets when I hook up the camera directly to the TV, and roll the tape. How do I export using compressor or not, to get the best quality, I dont care how big the file size I just need the quality!!! Thank you in advance for the help!

It depends on what format you want to output to.
If you just want the best quality, then output to 10-bit Uncompressed quicktime - the files will be huge though.
Do you need to output back to tape, DVD or something else?
Also, make sure that you have the right settings in your sequences, so you don't loose any quality there.
