How to avoid pixalation using GoPro Hero2 footage (.MP4)

The footage itself is high qualilty, but pnt the program it is pixilated and stop and starts constantly. Please Help!

ellajackson
Lots of details to answer that type of question.
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. What are the properties of this GoPro Hero 2 footage that you are putting on the project's Timeline? A quick look at the video specifications for your camera suggest that you are probably recording H.264.mp4 - 1920 x 1080 at @29.97 or 30 or 25 progressive frames per second. Please confirm what is the case.
3. What are you or the program setting as the project preset to match the properties of that GoPro 2 footage? Are you working from one of the AVCHD or DSLR project presets under NTSC or PAL?
4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that video card/graphics card?
Then the usual, just in case questions,
1. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
2. Are you running the program as Run As Administrator as well as well as from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
Please review and then we will decide what next based on your reply.
Thanks.

Premiere Pro Freezes in Loading GoPro MOV footages

I noticed a problem in loading up GoPro MOV footages everytime I open my project file. The MOV footages was a transcode from the MP4 original files.
I've worked with 1080 resolutions and 2.7k resolutions.
I had to force quite everytime my Premiere Pro.
Weird thing is that once I tried to open a different project file that also uses GoPro MOV footages, it loads up fine. I close it, and open the problematic one, then it loads up fine.
I have a weird feeling that its like my OSX has problems reading that MOV footages thats why it also affected Premiere Pro. And not just loading up the files that are on the timeline and Program Monitor,even when browsing in Media Browser the thumbnail doesn't appear, and the Source Monitor is also blank too.

does anybody has a clue that I can venture into?
My Premiere;
Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.2.0 (65)

Yea, there've been a lot of changes that have been needed in workflow patterns as CC came in and has transmogrified itself. There's still some that feel that one simply SHOULD transcode into Editing Codecs because ... well, it's the Professional Way to Work. But those started when NLE's couldn't take a lot of "original" camera codecs, and the codecs themselves were often ... problematic. Testing footage both native & trans-coded, working the same effects, then exported and viewed with a fine-tooth eyeball is a good thing. And what a lot of people have found ... with decent computers, and the CC Adobe apps, the camera codec/format works as well.
Now ... there are specific things & time do do a transcode, such as bringing 4k 4:2:0 footage down to 1080 4:2:2, which with the right transcoding is a complete 4:2:2 and not "just 420 in a 422 named wrapper" as some have thought. And many others. But ... MP4 and PrPro have come a long way recently.
That whole dang thing of it's been working & just stopped, on a machine that SHOULD work ... dangnably maddening. Especially with the problem of it sometimes works.

My macbook keeps asking me to use an administrator and their password to continue but nobody seems to know who is the administrator for this computer...does anyone know how to avoid this this or figure out who the administrator is?

Lynne130,
to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

Please reply:how to avoid extra trailing spaces while using cursor sharing

i am using cursor sharing with FORCE or SIMILAR.
what is the solution to avoid extra trailing spaces without any java code change.
do we have any option in oracle to avoid extra trailing spaces during the query processing ?
I am using Oracle 10g
CURSOR SHARING is a feature in which multiple sql statements
which are same will have a shared cursor (in the library cache) for an oracle session,
i.e, the first three steps of the sql processing (hard parse, soft parse, optimization)
will be done only the first time that kind of statement is executed.
There are two ways in which similar SQL statements with different condition values can be made to "SHARE" cursor during execution:
1. Writing SQLs with Bind Variables: SQLs having no hard coded literals in them
For e.g., the query below
SELECT node.emp_name AS configid
FROM emp node
WHERE emp_no = :1
AND dept_no =
DECODE (SUBSTR (:2, 1, 3),
:3, :4,
(SELECT MAX (dept_no)
FROM emp
WHERE emp_no = :5 AND dept_no <= :6)
AND node.dept_type = :7
ORDER BY node.emp_name
Here all the variables are dynamically bound during the execution. The ":X" represents BIND Variable and the actual values are bound to the SQL only at the 4th step of the execution of the SQL.
In applications: The queries written with "?" as bind variables will be converted into ":X" and are sqls with Bind Variables.
2. The CURSOR_SHARING parameter: Only Useful for SQL statements containing literals:
For eg., the query below:
SELECT node.emp_name AS configid
FROM emp node
WHERE emp_no = 'H200'
AND dept_no =
DECODE (SUBSTR (:1, 1, 3),
'PLN', :2,
(SELECT MAX (dept_no)
FROM emp
WHERE emp_no = :3 AND dept_no <= :4)
AND node.dept_type = :5
ORDER BY node.emp_name
In the query above, there are two hard coded literals H200 , PLN. In this case when the same SQL executed with different values like (H2003 , PLN), oracle will create a new cursor for this statement and all the first three steps ( hard & soft parse and optimization plan) needs to be done again.
This can be avoided by changing the CURSOR_SHARING parameter which can be set to any of three values:
1. EXACT: Causes the mechanism not be used, i.e. no cursor sharing for statements with different literals. This is the default value.
2. FORCE: Causes unconditional sharing of SQL statements that only differ in literals.
3. SIMILAR: Causes cursor sharing to take place when this is known not to have any impact on optimization.
So, FORCE and SIMILAR values of the parameter will be helping in cursor sharing and improve the performance of the SQLs having literals.
But here the problem arises if we use the FORCE and SIMILAR other than EXACT.
alter session set cursor_sharing ='EXACT'
select 1 from dual;
'1'
1
alter session set curson_sharing='FORCE'
select 2 from dual;
'2'
2
alter session set curson_sharing='SIMILAR'
select 3 from dual;
'3'
3
So, this will give extra trailing spaces in when we retrieve from java method and any
further java processing based on the hardcoded literal values will fail. this needs lot of
effort in remodifying the existing millions of lines of code.
My question is i have to use cursor sharing with FORCE or SIMILAR and can't we do the trimming
from the oracle query processing level ?
please help me on this ?

How to avoid Moire Effects (jiggered still pictures) using iM and iDVD.

This is a discussion going on forever and forever in this forum. I had the problem of bad looking slideshows myself, and I am hearing the same tips over and over again that just don't work. This is what I found out on how to avoid moire effects in your still images, when you want to edit a slideshow using iMovie - and I personally think, this explanation makes a lot of sense.
Try it on your own and you will have had the last bad looking still image slidehow on the TV screen ever!! Here we go:
Like everybody here I am talking about the process of creating a slideshow incuding movie strips in iMovie to get as a final result a DVD with menus and such using iDVD.
And the common problem with stills and iMovie 5.02 are the so called jiggered pictures iMovie creates. Call it a moire effect, if you'd like.
Whenever full resolution still images are importet from iPhoto into iMovie, the quality that iMovie will spit out in the end is disgusting. Period. Just disgusting.
It has nothing to do with that iMovie does not display it properly on the Monitor or we are just in preview mode - the results are bad there and will be bad (maybe even worse) on the TV screen.
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference between wether the pictures are imported with KB on or off, whether they are imported as still frames or as video clips using iMovie "import" function. iMovie can treat the color fairly bad, overprocesses the pictures and - worst of all, the moiree effects you will see in the endresult are just very very bad. It is worse when the pictures are panning a lot (KB).. This is true for every picture containing a lot of detail (Trees, Forests, horizontol lines (stairs) etc.) - not so bad for closeup face shots, unless that person is really old
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference on the result by how the iMovie project is fed into iDVD. When the movie is sent to iDVD using the iM command "send to..." the quality is worse (and you let iM render when it asks) than if the movie is dragged into the iDVD window - but again, the difference is not significant. The result will suck. The DVD will also look bad, when the iMovie is exported has high res quicktime first, before imported into iDVD. Again, its slightly better that way, but not significant.
Whenever a slideshow is created in iPhoto and than exported to iDVD (or via being a quicktime movie through iMovie into iDVD) the result will be however stunning. But that totally defeats the purpose of iMovie and the degree of freedom of designing slidehows in a very appealing manner.....
The problem I think lies in how iMovie processes still images. And this is not a bug, but more of a mathematical/programmatical problem. iMovie has to REDUCE THE RESOLUTION of your still. A 2000x3000 pixel image @ 300 dpi(roughly the dimensions of a 6 MP image) has to be downsized to a TV image (NTSC or PAL, whichever) which has a resolution of approximately 480x640. HD is accordingly higher. The amount of pixels has to be reduced. iMovie can do that. NOT GOOD. But it can. The problem starts when the picture is panning around (KB). iMovie makes a let us say 5 second movie @ 30 fps out of one still image. Almost every frame will be slightly different from the previous one due to the used KB effect. So, the routine of iMovie does this downsize calculation for each single frame - and it removes each time different pixels from the still image, due to a slightly different source still image. Got it?
Now, when you look on how moiree effects occur (which is some weired math in it's own) than it makes sense, that we see all this jiggereing in horizontol lines of high res. patterns.
I found that if I reduce the size of each image in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) prior to importing it into iMovie, the quality of the final product that iMovie and subsequently iDVD spits out in the end is AMAZING (reduce the dpi to approx. 72, so the image resolution is roughly 480x640). This is not a difficult process, because both programms (PS and PSE) handle BATCH PROCESSING. Just let the Mac work for a couple of hours or so.... its WORTH IT (and don't forget to make copies of the high res originals beforehand... :D).
(before you resize, find out about how to properly resize and rescale an image!!!!)
I am slightly annoyed that I found that out after producing a long long long long and really good slightshow, that is watchable but looks REALLY cheasy and cheap).
I hope this helps out.

I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

Hii,
I hav delvpd an alv report in which i hav used events for which i haven't declared PERFORM for the same. but when i had checkd in the Extended program checks it says that form interface is not called directly.. check for dynamic PERFORMS...
how to avoid this error in the extended check program.

Another option can be calling the routine from the program itself with a check that never satisfies.
like:
if 1 = 2.
perform top_of_page.

endform.

Low quality from PrE12 using GoPro3 black footage

Hi there,
First post here. I have used PE8 many times in the past, so I kind of know what I am doing. However, I just got PE12 and I have been working on a project I shot with the GoPro hero 3+ Black edition, shooting in 1080p @ 60fps.Typically with PE8 I would convert the files to AVI before bringing them into the program, but with 12 it says MP4 is a native file type, so I skipped this step. I am experiencing a low quality playback in the editor, and I thought maybe my PC wasnt up to par anymore, or my playback settings were off, so I burned it to a DVD and played it on a TV and it was absolutely terrible. I wasn't given any options to a project setting like in PE8, and I read that PE12 does it for you. I went to the settings, but I was unable to change anything, so how can I make my high quality footage into a high quality final product?
In Edit>Project settings>general, it is AVCHD 1080p square pixel, 59.94fps,
Video, 1920x1080, 60fps Drop frame timecode
This all seems pretty normal to me, so is there something I am missing? Would I have better results if I did convert to AVI?
Thanks much in advance!

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
If you have not already, please update from 12 to 12.1, using the opened project's Help Menu/Update.
With version 11 and 12, the program is designed so that the project takes over setting the project preset based on
the properties of the first video you drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it correctly, sometimes not. For the sometimes
not moments, then you set the project preset manually as described in the following link (File Menu/New/Project).
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
Once the project preset is set, you can deduce the project settings in Edit Menu/Projects Settings/General, but there are no
significant changes you can make at that point.
If you say that your source was 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second, then your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General
reading would indicate that you or the project set the project preset correctly. When you dragged the file to the Timeline for the
first time was there an orange line over its content - or rather no colored line? For now, I am assuming no colored line.
Right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then Highest. What is the quality of your video at this point when viewed
in the Edit area monitor?
Go to Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and set Presets + MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Then under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, customize the export settings for 1080p60, using the following settings
exactly as shown.
What does that AVCHD.mp4 (1080p60) look like on your computer player(s)?
We will be watching for your results.
Pending further results from you, on hold are questions about your computer resources, your video card/graphics card, Administrator setup,
QuickTime install, etc.
Thanks.

Importing GoPro 4 footage

I'm a bit confused about how to best use the GoPro 4 footage in FCP.
Looking online, I've found a lot of posts about converting, mostly selling video conversion software.
GoPro has GoPro Studio which seems to be the way to go, but it creates a Cineform codec clip, not ProRes,
from what I can figure. I want to edit in ProRes. It seems like there would be lots of information about this,
considering all the GoPro footage out there, but I'm having trouble finding definitive information.
Do I use Studio and then import the clips into FCP and let it convert those clips to optimized ProRes?

DId you try just importing directly into FCP X?
ACcording to gopro site the camera records in H264 with an mp4 container. This is a pretty standard thing. Note that I don't have one of thesd cameras, but like you said most of those sites are peddling "converters"...

Picture degradation from GoPro Hero2 when editing with iMovie

Hello!
New using iMovie11 and a new GoPro Hero2. MacBook Pro running Lion.
Excellent picture quality from the Hero2, SIGNIFICANT degradation of picture quality using iMovie to edit the footage. I have tried converting to .mov and then editing, as well as editing the MP4 files directly.
The Hero2 is shooting at 48fps, but iMovie11 automatically chooses 24fps and will not allow me to change it. I would assume this is the reason for the picture quality being so very poor?
Help on what I am doing wrong would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

You can really only view full quality...and judge that quality...on an external broadcast monitor, or good HDTV, connected to a video capture card in your system. Computer displays never show you what you actually have.
