Import/export codecs/settings for FCE with HMC40 footage?(lengthy post)

Hi all,
I am pretty new to video editing in FCE, and brand new to 'tapeless workflow' (just bought a Panasonic HMC40)
so am not sure of all the technical protocol yet.
What is AVCHD as opposed to DV or HDV?
What is meant by 'transcoded'?
For the following series of questions, my final usage will be for the web, flash video (.flv file as converted in Adobe Media Converter from the quicktime file exported from FCE, unless there is a method to export directly to a flash video file from FCE i.e. what is the FLC format?) streaming from my server and played with a flash player (.swf file)
Obviously, I would like to achieve the best quality possible while still maintaining a fast streaming time
here is an example of the above: Road Runner Akron Marathon
I see that if I go to menu-->final cut express-->easy setup I get a window with default import settings as in figure 1 below
figure 1
Which import format is best for footage from the HMC40, shooting at 108024p? 108030p? see figure 2 below
figure 2
Which import frame rate is best for footage from the HMC40, shooting at 108024p? 108030p? see figure 3 below
(don't understand the odd frame rate choices of 25 and 29.97)
figure 3
The default import codec is DV-NTSC as seen in the popup menu in figure 4 below
figure 4
which of the above import codecs would you recommend for footage from the HMC40 if I am shooting in 108024p? 108030p?
I am using the 'log and import' option for importing footage directly into projects from the SDHC card.
Does the check box option under the 'import settings' tab mean that audio/video will be compressed
with the import codec specified during 'import setup'? see figure 5 below
figure 5
When exporting from FCE with quicktime conversion, is it best to use
the same type of codec as the import codec? see fig 6 below
figure 6
Thanks very much for any advice. Much appreciated.
Best,
Dennis

Wow! A huge amount of questions, almost all of which are available using search engines. The forum isn't really designed to give you a detailed instruction on digital video or on basics of how to use the application.
AVCHD is a highly compressed MPEG-4 based HD format. DV is a standard definition format. HDV is an MPEG-2 based HD format.
FCE does not encode Flash. You need third party software.
24p is not supported in FCE.
If you're shooting HD you should select HD.
25fps is for PAL based formats. 29.97fps is for North American based video standard. 24fps is a film frame rate. Most video cameras do not shoot 24fps, but 24fps recorded at 29.97 with pulldown. If your camera shoots true 24fps, it is not supported in FCE.
What you select depends on exactly what you shot. Read the camera manual carefully for the different options of frame size. Native 24p is not supported in FCE. 30p can be ingested using a 1080i60 preset.
How you export depends of where you're trying to get to. If you're going to third party encoding software you should export to QuickTime Movie.

  • Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

    Dear All,
    Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
    All the best, Sean

    Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...
    Open compressor and in the Help menu, Select the user manual. Navigate to page 315.

  • Exporting from FCP for use with PC

    Hey all,
    Trying to deliver a high-med quality 8 minute video from FCP for use with a PC. I've tried exporting both a .mov and .avi using DVCPro50, but neither are readable through the PC. Best I can get is sometimes audio will show up. Does anyone have a good solution for exporting from FCP for use with a PC?
    Thanks again for your help!

    I don't think DVCpro50 codec is available on a PC. I think panasonic has a special license with apple only, so you need to try a different codec for the avi.

  • Does Import/Export Utility check for Block corruption?

    Hi All,
    Just a quick question I have is does Import/Export Utiligy check for any block corruption while importing or exporting?
    If yes then does it do automatically or we have do set some parameter explicitly.
    I am using oracel version 9.2.0.6.
    Thx in advance.

    Hi yingkuan/kanchan
    Thx for your prompt reply. Still I am not clear as you said that export check for the block corruption error and if there is any it will display the error message in log file. But does it copy corrupted block or skip that block or mark that block as corrupted?
    Thx in advance.

    Hello Jemmi,
    a lot of questions
    Here some answers:
    1. You do not have to install the add-on to CRM. It is a add-on to outlook. Just start the setup.exe you downloaded from the marketplace and select MS-Outlook and your language.
    2. In CRM70 customizing search for "client profile" - here you will be able to customize for different businessroles different GWI settings. The settings will be synchronised to the client. You will not need to do settings on the client.
    3. Biderectional is theoretically possible. We only use CRM to Outlook. If you do it the other way round you have to think about obligatory fields in CRM and where do you get the account ID from and and and. CRM to Outlook is simple.
    4. Accounts and Products i guess no in standard. But contact persons is possible, appointsments and tasks are also possible.
    5. No answer, we do not use this.
    I hope this helps.
    Good luck.
    Kind regards

  • Exporting all settings for Outlook Desktop so that they can be imported into Outlook

    Hi there,
    I was wondering whether all settings for Outlook Desktop can be exported so that they can be imported into Outlook i.e. .psts, .osts, .pabs, .oabs, .dats, .xmls, .nk2s, .rwzs, .rtfs, .txts, .htms, .dics, .ofts, .srss and .msgs. My Managing Director's Wife is
    unsubscribing from Office 365 in order to use Office Professional 2013 I presume or 2010 perhaps. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a user off the Office 365 Community Forum.

    Hi,
    As per the information and details provided by you, in Outlook, there is not any way to backup Outlook account setting because in all Outlook versions the account settings are kept inside the window registry under this key:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
    So if you want to create backup of your Outlook account setting, you should have to export that key from your registry and then import it to your new computer.
    To backup Outlook Account setting follow these steps: -
    1. First, go to the Start menu and then at the Run box, type regedit and press Enter.
    2. Under the registry editor right click to Export the Profiles key found inside this location in the registry: 
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles”
    3. In Outlook 2013 right click to Export the Profile key found under this location in the registry:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles key”
    4. Specify the Destination Location and File Name then press Save.
    Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong. I hope this will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • JVC GZ-HD7U MPEG Streamclip export settings for use with FCP

    There are a number of compression options in the free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it's unclear what's best or how I would figure that info out. My guess is Apple HDV 1080i50, Apple HDV 1080i60, Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50, or Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i60. The default setting was Apple Motion JPEG A, but this produced a huge file and doesn't seem right anyway. I think the desired frame size is 1920 x 1080, but I'm uncertain if I need to end up with an interlaced or progressive .mov file. My selectable options for progressive/interlaced are: "Interlaced Scaling," "Reinterlace Chroma," and "Deinterlace Video." Selecting "Deinterlace Video" excludes use of the other two options.
    These clips will eventually be edited in FCP and I'm guessing that the appropriate settings will match whatever is selected at the export stage.
    I'm using the JVC Everio GZ-DH7U HD Hard disk camcorder...I'm not sure if JVC uses the same setting across the board for it's HD cameras or maybe just the Everio cameras are similarly designed??
    Thanks to all!!

    the output should match the source file, generally speaking. So if you camera is making HD files then using a HD sized coded would suffice.
    HDV (IIRC) is 1440x1080. I often find that using the default settings for a particular file type in Streamclip often work quite well.
    As a test, take a small file. if it works, great batch process away, if not, tweak it and then try the same small file until you get a desirable result. Rinse and repeat.

  • Cannot change codec settings for Quicktime export?

    I have Quicktime installed, and it shows up as an Export option in Premiere Pro. However the options are extremely limited. Under the Video tab, there is a button for "Codec Settings" but it is greyed out. You can't choose whether you want CBR or VBR. Under the Audio tab, there is also a "Codec Settings" tab, but it too is greyed out. I can't even change the bitrate settings for AAC audio. Actually, it doesn't even tell you what bitrate it's exporting at, let alone let you change it.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Possibly.
    Some codecs have settings and some don't. If you pick one off of the list that has settings, you will have more success at changing parameters.
    First things first. Does your list of codecs look something like this? If so, select the appropriate codec for your needs and see if it has options. None of the Quicktime exports has the option of changing from CBR to VBR as far as I can tell and to be honest I don't know which is being used. You didn't say if you were on a Mac or a PC but if you are on a PC you might consider using an H.264 export instead.

  • UT Video Codec settings for AVCHD .mts transcoding

    Howdy,
    Been trying for a while to track down a jittery playback issue (as if frames are randomly held or skipped) when editing .mts files.
    Jittery in PPcc and also after exporting to whatever... and especially using Youtube and Vimeo export presets.
    VLC media player plays the .mts source files smoothly right off the SD card or HDD/SSD... most of the time, occasionally there is a hiccup but nothing like in PP.
    The clips that do this are pretty much all of the panning clips and shot in either 24fps or 60fps 1080p.
    I have seen this now on 2 different systems with different collections of .mts footage out of 2 different cameras.
    Mine is a PC (running WIN7 i7 3770K 3.5Ghz, 16GB, GTX 660) and the other is a more powerful Mac with 32GB RAM (accustomed to smoothly dealing with RED footage).
    I came across an Adobe suggestion to convert to a UTVideo codec ( http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/audio-video-glitches-avchd.html#id_49687 ) to deal with AVCHD... but it really didn't give much helpful info beyond the link to where it could be downloaded.
    I tried the suggestion, downloaded the codec suite, made a preset in Media Encoder and transcoded, but it plays even worse than the AVCHD does natively (VLC doesn't recognize that codec for testing)
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best settings for the UT Video transcoding and/or hardware/software settings for the smoothest PP playback of .mts clips? I see in the forums here and elsewhere that lots of folks have various problems working with .mts footage in PP... I am hoping there is a functional solution beyond what I have unsuccessfully tried:
    setting playback to 1/4 or 1/2
    rendering the sequance/timeline
    transcoding to .mp4/DNxHD
    clearing render files
    maximizing ram for PP usage
    closing all other apps
    importing the whole 'private' folder from the SD card (which I can't seem to get PP to recognize anyway, it only will import the individual .mts files as far as I can tell)
    changed power options
    turbo boost for the i7 on or off
    and some other trial-and-errors gleaned from the forums that I can't recall at the moment
    Any suggestions for what to try next or the proper settings for using the UT Video codec would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks/Cheers!

    Thanks Fuzzy!
    Great article and it led to some more testing with a couple different lens, pan speeds, shutter speeds and frame rate combos... but still I am not finding anything definitive, I still get random, choppy/juddery playback (never seems to occur in the same place each time).
    I have the frame drop indicator on and it says all is good (no dropped frames).
    VLC and PotPlayer tend to play the clips off the card just fine, but does once in a while skip... a data transfer problem? I have played off the SD card and SSD main drive and my media HDD.
    Caught a recent thread with others having sudden choppy playback, might be related?  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5938794#5938794
    I have PPro CC 7.2.0 (46) 
    But the suggestion to clear cache and reset preferences didn't seem to make a difference on my machine.
    Still ???
    Going to try playing the same clips on a friends SUPER Mac and see what happens... although he sees the same thing with the .mts footage he already has.
    Onward!

  • Using Canon HV30 in 30p mode - settings for FCE?

    I'm a little confused about the best settings in FCE for capturing video shot in 30p mode on a Canon HV30. I know (from the manual) that the HV30 records the 30p video at 1080i specifications.
    Should the Easy Setup be set for AIC 1080i60, or AIC 720p30 (I don't see an option for 1080p30)? I want my end result to be progressive, not interlaced. The movies will be burned on DVDs, for display on computers, regular TVs, and HD TVs.
    Likewise, when I create a sequence, should I select AIC 1440x1080i60, or AIC 720p30?
    FCE seems to gladly let me use any combination of these. If the answer is “it depends”, then what does it depend on?
    Thanks.

    I am just learning a lot of this stuff, but here's my 2 cents...
    Yeah, I've been using FCE for a couple of months with my Elura 65 SD camcorder. I just got my HV30 last week, so I'm trying to wrap my brain around all the HD options.
    I just bought the HV30 a few weeks ago. I set my Easy Setup to 1080i60 and it captures fine (remember, though, your capture screen will be different than regular DV capture. It will have no controls, just the screen and you press esc when you're done.)
    I've noted that FCE often doesn't recognize ESC when I hit it. When that happens, I manually stop the camcorder, and the FCE thinks it's reached the end-of-tape, which has the same effect.
    Once you import it, it will show as 1440x1080, even though you may have read stuff in the manual about 1920x1080. 1440 is what it captures at b/c that's how it is able to store it on miniDV tapes. This is a miniDV thing, not a FCE thing. (I spent a few days on that one!)
    When working with it in FCE, you will see the sequence and captured video settings as 1440x1080 (I believe the sequence will be created from settings specified in the Easy Setup, so it'll be 1440x1080.) When you export it, however, you will see the info on the exported file as 1920x1080.
    I do not think you are going to have a choice in shooting at 720p with the HV30, or at least I have personally not found a way to do that.
    I was looking at the 720p option just because it was the only one that indicated Progressive.
    I believe I've heard that one can use the 720p import option to reduce the capture file size, at the expense of some resolution (but it's still HD). Anyone have any comments on that?
    In terms of all the destinations you're seeking for this video, saddle up, because you're in for quite a ride figuring out this HD stuff. It is not trivial. I am so frustrated at the moment with much of it that I'm likely to shoot in regular DV mode for a while until this stuff settles down into some easier (read: more commonly adopted) ways to work with HD video.
    My final destination is a DVD via iDVD. It seems that just exporting as a QuickTime movie (not Using QuickTime Conversion...), selecting Audio and Video, and Include Chapter Markers (if I'm using them), produces a .mov file that drops right into iDVD. I also choose Make Movie Self-Contained, which results in large files, but I want to archive them and don't want them location-dependent.
    My advise is to start playing around with it (using short clips!) and testing some stuff out, then posting specific questions to what you're trying to accomplish. These forums are amazing. And I just ordered Tom Wolsky's book on FCE 4 as he is a machine on these forums and I've read great things about the book.
    That's what I've been doing.
    And I'm also a Wolsky fanboy - I purchased his +Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop+ shortly after I started learning FCE, and that book has been very helpful. My main issue right now is coordinating the settings in my HV30 with the FCE settings.
    Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

  • Best codecs/settings for CD ROM?

    i'm creating a CD ROM-type presentation via shockwave director that has a slew of embedded quicktime videos in it (generally playing at 720x400). right now the videos are rather large and bulky and i'd like to compress them so they play better (don't tax the processors) and don't take up too much hard drive space (the presentation will be loaded onto 7 different laptops - 6 PCs one MAC).
    what's the best video codec and settings for computer-based embedded quicktime files? i'm using FCP5 and have compressor 2.0.1
    any suggestions?
    dual 2 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Why not start with one of CD compressor formats, and see if it works?
    Compression is a compromise between size and quality.
    What is best depends on what is important to you.
