this is related to FCP not imovie
You neglected to say that in your initial question. In any event, you can't make HD video discs with iDVD. Since you mention using Toast and a Blu-ray burner in another of your post, why not ask your questions in the Roxio Toast Support Forums? http://forums.support.roxio.com/

What are the best settings for inporting and exporting PE 12?   I use a Canon HDV VIXIA HV40 - HDV 1080i . Viewing the videos on this Canon are in HD quality but no HD quality wiyh Adobe PE12.[I have WINDOWS 8.1]

I have tried all the different settings, but my videos do not have HD quality, why?
P.S. - Videos turn out better (but not HD quality) with PE 12 when I do not use RENDER .
When I watch the video on my camera they have HD quality.
My system -
Windows 8.1
Processor -       Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-477OK CPU @ 3.50 GHz 3.50 GHz
Ram -               800GB
System type -   64-bit operating system,x64 - based processor.

To capture HDV video, you should connect the camcorder to your computer via FireWire cable and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From Flip or Cameras to get the video from the camcorder to your computer.
If you've done this, the video should load into the program at full hi-def quality and your should have a smooth editing experience.
Is this the process you used to capture and load your video?

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

Hunt,
This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.

Excise Invoice number for Domestic and Exports

Hi Friends,
MyClient is having two types of excise invoices. One is Local and another is Export.
The local excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC; and even the export excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC.
i.e they have the continuation of numbers for domestic and exports.
Ex: If the domestic excise number is 091111010 then export excise invoice no is 091111011.
They have not maintained number ranges for export range object J_1IEXCEXP(w.r.t any seriesgroup).
And there is no tick for Use Local Number Range in Export Excise Invoice also.
I want to know how this can be happen.
Pl help me in this regard.

Hi Azeez,
Go to IMG, Tax on goods movements, India, Outgoing excise invoices, Maintain defult Excise Groups and Series Groups.
Here check the Sales Area, shipping point, plant, Excise group and Series group determination. It is here that you defferentiate for which series group you are using which sales area and plant. Once you identify this, go to T code J1i9, give the valid object and check the number range assigned to the series group.
Thanks

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

Issue with Visibility Settings for Backgrounds and Layers

I am using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 (Windows) and having an issue with visibility settings for layers and backgrounds. I am attempting to get backgrounds to appear while viewing in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro but not be printed and so far have had no success.
When using a background the Appearance Options dialogue has "Show when printing" unchecked, but "Show when displaying on screen" is checked. This results in the background not showing on the screen, and the background will only appear once the box for "Show when printing" is checked. It looks like the option for printing is dictating whether or not the background is able to appear.
Using layers has not worked either. The background layer is set to "Never Prints", but will still show up when printed.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has a solution, or has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi setrev2012,
How are you adding the backgroud?
The only way I can think to accomplish this is via a watermark.
The basics...
Open PDF in Acrobat. Choose Pages > Watermark > Add Watermark.
Select a jpg or PDF of your background and adjust scaling options as desired.
Then click the Appearance Options.. and uncheck the Show When Printing option.
In this image the PDF is a blank page with the word "Test" on it. The watermark is the stamp and impression (a stock photo jpg).
If you want a solid color background, just create a flat image of the background color for use as the watermark.
If you have already followed the steps and still facing the issue then please share the file with me at [email protected] so that i can have a look.
Regards,
Rave

New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Kat

B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.

Best settings for h.264 export in HD

Hello, i have been reading a lot about h.264 in these forums and on the internet and im a bit stumped on how i should export my video. i shot it in 1080p 29.97 on a canon sx10 is. the file imports fine and exports no problems, but the ending quality is pretty bad. BTW im using FCE 4. first, the video in FCE looks great. i know it converts it to AIC and that part is high quality and fine. if i export it to a self contained movie, it crops it but it is still pretty high quality. my problem is i want to store the file and wont edit it again so i dont want a huge AIC file. i want the resultant file to be mp4 with h.264 and AAC audio. i dont care too much what the filesize is for the mp4 but no matter what i do i cant seem to get as good quality as the AIC, no matter the bit rate, or any other settings i change. can someone point me in the right direction as to what the highest quality output for h.264 would look like in FCE 4? thank you!

Here are some basics....
FMLE creates RTMP protocol streams that PCs and Macs watch with Flash players. iOS devices don't understand RTMP (Flash), only HLS delivery of 10 second chuncks of downloaded video playback. Both systems understand H.264 video, but iOS wants to see AAC audio not MP3.
You didn't state how you are live streaming, meaning what bandwidth delivery service you are using. Live streaming only via RTMP won't get you to successful iPad and iPhone HTTP Live Stream. On-demand delivery to iOS devices normally requires .mp4 video files to be hosted, which Macs and PCs also understand via RTMP delivery. But unless your delivery service can convert .f4v or .flv files to .mp4 on the fly there is no easy way to to get to iOS via the direct file output of FMLE as of today. Sometimes we upload live encoded project files to our www.Wistia.com account for PC, Mac and iOS delivery. This is a YouTube / Vimeo paid type hosting service for on-demand only.
Some commercial CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) today allow an inbound live RTMP into their system using FMLE. Then they re-mux that RTMP stream into HLS delivery for iOS. Some work well using the native MP3 audio codec (Internap), but most require FMLE to have the AAC audio codec installed from Main Concept for $200. Or people use Wirecast from Telestream which is $500 per license to be able to run two instances on that one license.
In my 15 years of being a big commercial webcaster here in Silcion Valley, I have yet to find the perfect simple and easy and affordable RTMP to HLS live and on-demand delivery system. We currently do it different ways with multiple providers depending on the job. More offerings are coming out now and we try them all as they come down the pike.

Prepping a Sequence for Web/and EXporT

Any link or answer to this- i'm preparing a 2 minute trailer for web. what are the settings necessary in final cut to prepare for the quicktime export. Also once in a quicktime format what should the export settings coming out. currently have final cut hd we want a relatively fast download time for accessing but want not to sacrifice too much quality. thanks for any help.

But...can h.264 be viewed on most computers?
No. QT7 h264 is not very well pentrated yet. All iPod/iTunes users have it but few business machines will have it. Furthermore, many larger companies don't allow employees to install it even if they need it.
For Quicktime content, I can reach the broadest audience with Sorenson 3 compression. It was introduced in QuickTime 5 a long time ago. If I want to go a bit more recent, I use the 3ivx version of MP4 compression. Download the free 3ivx plugin at 3ivx.com. This works on any computer that supports MP4 but it looks better than the Apple mp4 CODEC.
MPEG-1 is the most universal web video format, but the filesize will be about 3x bigger than anything more modern.
WMV-9 is also a popular way to post video. At the risk of being run off this forum, I'll just say that it's market pentration is vastly wider than QuickTime and the quality is comparable to MP4. I use an affordable QuickTime plugin called Popwire WMV-9 Export 1.1 to export directly to this format from Final Cut.
Also don't rule out Flash Spark video format. Users of Flash 8 Plugin can view this format and I know there are many machines with this capability. You need flash pro to do this format.

Render (both for preview and export) takes forever

I'm running Premiere Elements 12.0 (really 12.1) in a MacBook Pro Retina running 10.10.1 (14B25)
It has quad Core i7 each 2.7 gH, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB, 16 GB of ram, and a 750GB SSD disk. There are no other applications running on the computer, and there is at least 300 GB of free disk space on the SSD.
I am trying to edit HD video from my GoPro Hero 3+. I'm just loading the GoPro files using Add Media. Then I cut out boring parts, add in image stabilization and some titles, etc. The sessions typically have 6 to 8 files, each about 2GB of video. It represents 2 to 3 hours of capture. The goal is to get maybe one hour of nice video.
Previewing viewing is terrible, with video out of sync from the audio by many seconds. You can't see any movement in the video for 10 to 30 seconds. This gets better if I use the "render" button on the timeline, but this process takes 15 to 30 hours. And the improved preview speed only stays effective for a short while, as I do edits, add effects, etc. it gets slow (aka unusable) again.
Once I've fought the program to get ready to do an export, I've got another multi-hour wait. Usually this is a bit shorter than the initial rendering, since the editing process has removed an hour or two of content.
I know, these are big input files, and the resulting movies are big (a couple of gigabytes). But this is one of the fastest and most expensive laptop computers sold in the world. I'm just using a GoPro, not some fancy Red or 4K camera.
I need to have the editing process be 3 times faster, I want it to be much better, ten times faster.
I thought that quad real core with 8 threads, 16GB of ram, and a 750GB SSD was fast.
I'd like concrete answers as to how I can get there.
Are there settings for Premiere Elements that will help? Would I be happier with Premiere Pro? Would I be happier on a Windows machine with 2 or more high end graphics cards?

thanks for the reply. I'm new to GoPro and Premiere Elements, so I don't know exactly what some of your stuff is.
The video is taken on my dirt-bike, a motorcycle going through trails, woods and rocks. Its unwatchable without stabilization.
The files are all taken as a single ride, single push of the shutter, and I go off and ride for a couple of hours. The GoPro automatically switches to a new recording file when the old one gets to 2.4 GB (which is about the maximum file size for 32 bit file formats.
I copy all of the video clips to the SSD from the GoPro. Then I load them as assetts. Since that it the only disk I have, everything is there. But an SSD should be fast enough to handle swapping, file reading and writing. I don't think that you can get two separate SSDs in a MacBook Pro Retina. It has no optical drive (which you could replace with an SSD in older models)
I'm not against buying Pro if I have to, I'm cheap, and would rather not, but if that will make the workflow feasible, I'll cough up the money.
All of clips (everything) have "Motion" "Opacity" "Stabilizer" and "Image Control"
I actually have no clear understanding of what Motion does vs Stabilizer.
Timeline rendering takes 10+ hours. More if the Mac sleep mode sets in. I have no idea where the rendered files are. Whereever PE defailts them. Still SSD
What is "the Edit area monitor"? Do you mean the smallish video window above the timeline? Sometimes the video looks pretty good, other times the viewing of it lags 30 seconds or more behind the sound and timeline pointer.
I don't think I understand your comment about when to stabilize. I agree that I should be able to work and do edits, titles, etc. without stabilization, and then just turn it on at the end. Or maybe even render it for export and then stabilize that file. But I don't know how to do any of that.
Thanks
Pat
