Import preset for 1080 P H.264??

Folks,
It's been a long while since I used FCPro but I have the latest FCStudio for Motion mainly.
I have a quick question I know a knowledgeable and helpful guru will be able to solve: I have recorded a procedure through a surgical microscope into an Optronics Microcast system. I want to bring this video into FCPro and use the correct preset. In QT 7 it says "VC Coding ˇˇ!avcC B)ˇ·gB)Ù ¿ /* h, 1920 x 1080, Millions" at FPS = 28.67 and Data Rate = 3983.25 kbits/s.
Can anyone please tell me what preset I should use to edit the video clips in 1080 P HD ?
Many thanks.

Thanks, no problem. This are my first 10 points.
Glad I was able to help. Good luck with the editing,

Import presets for leica M9

hello all.
i am trying to find out if there are existing presets for importing DNGs from Leica M9 in LR3.2? i have searched many forums and can't find any definitive info, and am now assuming users simply craft their own to their own taste...?
if there is however a calibrated import lut that exists for M9 DNGs i'd love to know about it.
thanks in advance...

Since the M9 makes DNGs natively, I assume you are asking if there is a camera profile for this camera. If there is (or you create one) you do not have to apply this upon import -- it can be applied at any time during the development process.
I assume there is an Adobe Standard camera profile for this camera. This can be applied upon import, or after the fact.

Capture preset for dcvprohd1080 24p??????

I just shot a bunch of footage with an hvx200. The recording format was 1080i/24p. I am used to filming 720p with this camera and the presets in fcp are fine. There is not a capture preset for 1080/24p in fcp. There is only a 1080/24pa preset, which cant be right because its a totally differnt recording format. does anyone know the right way to capture dvcprohd 1080i/24p?

I found that most interesting.... but again I ask why do you need to go to all the hassle and it IS hassle of RE-encoding from MXF to QT? I'm editing the MXF files straight.
There is no "reencode", it is a simple transfer and addition of a QT wrapper so that FCP can read the files. Nothing is re-encoded, no metadata is lost, as Ben says. Hassle? What UTTER nonsense! if you rename the clip, FCP knows what links to what, and when you import you can RENAME and ORGANIZE your clips...a KEY thing to an efficient workflow.
Are you telling me you EDIT THE MASTERS? You don't back up your footage at all? So, if your hard drive fails (and they often do), then all your footage is gone. Even if you edit the MXF files directly with Raylight, you ought to back up the masters by copying them to another disk, or LTO, or whatever. Just common sense. I keep my original MXF files on an archive disk and import the files into FCP where I can rename and organize how I please.
In all my time of using the HVX (about 16 months) I've never known FCP to save the Metadata.... even if it hides it somewhere obscure its still a waste as FCP can't intiragate it.... i.e. I did a search this morning for all 720 50p footage shot in Tibet on P2 card serial number XXXXXX.... its an absolute breeze with P2cms. How can you do that with FCP? you can't you have to rummage through potentially 100's of clips.
What metadata are you referring to? All you need are the clip names and timecode information really, and FCP retains that. Even if you rename a clip from 0003FG5 to "man crosses street," FCP knows that MAN CROSSES STREET is tied to 0003FG5. If the drive fails or media is lost, and you reimport, it goes right to the clip.
I don't in anyway doubt your qualification in this field BUT I find it odd that your advocating such a convoluted workflow!
Convoluted? Are you STILL saying that you edit your MASTER CLIPS and don't back them up? And if you do back them up (as you should), doesn't THAT double the size of your footage?
First I program the metadata into the HVX via the SD card. I shoot what I need. I then hook up to my MBP to the HVX and fire up P2cms. I then injest the card(s). Lastly I fill in any outstanding required metadata.
When I come to edit the footage.... I have the powerful P2cms database on hand to find any footage that I need within my collection of 1000's of clips. That then gets dropped into the required sequence. No fuss no hassle!
Sorry to say it but after spending about a year with it all I can say is that Apple's workflow *****
Depends on what you are doing, what you are editing, and what workflow you need. Your workflow works for you, but doesn't necessarily work for everyone. Just like the Importing workflow doesn't work for everyone. A lot of people like and use Raylight and edit the masters right away. ENG crews, people who need fast turnaround. It works. But so does importing and renaming and all that. There isn't ONE way to do things, because there are many many different production types...each requiring a different approach.
Work the way you work...do what you do. Don't knock something because it isn't the way you do it. As the saying goes, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." As long as the cat ends up skinned, what does it matter how you did it?
Eeew.

Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

1080 50P PAL preset for MOV files recorded with the Panasonic GH3

Dear Adobe team and PE11 users,
With my Panasonic GH3 I'm recording 1080 50P MOV files. I bought this camera because the mov compression is much more easier to edit then AVCHD. There is already a solution for the (non english) premiere elements 11 software with a preset for 50P AVCHD files but I can't find any discussion about MOV files. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution (with a MOV 50p PAL preset). Untill now PE11 recognise the 50p files as HDV 1080 25i files in the project settings...
best regards,
arjan

Why no presets for H.264 at 59.94?

I noticed there are no presets for H.264 at 59.94 for 1920x1080. Is there a reason? Will it not work at 59.94 at 1920x1080?

I'm rendering for a cable TV show, trying to get the highest qaulity. There specs don't include a frame rate of 29.97. Either 23.97, 24 or 59.94. All my footage is at 29.97 and it doesn't look good when I render at a lesser frame rate.
I know you can modify the presets, but was wondering why there was no such preset, if there was a reason why...
By the way... I dropped off several different formats f the first show to see what was most compatable and best qaulity, and they picked the HD windows rendering! (1280x720p, 59.94) I was surprised...

Does iMovie'08 import 1920 x 1080 at 1440 x 1080

After some thought the subject (Sony HDR SR11 resolution) of my last post yesterday may include all HD camcorders with 1920 x 1080 resolution. when iMovie'08 imports the files they are saved as quicktime movies. When played in quicktime and the details looked at in Movie Inspector (quicktime/window/show movie inspector) the format is shown as Apple Intermediate Codec 1440 x 1080,
Does iMovie'08 import 1920 x 1080 at 1440 x 1080 and then output it at 1920 x 1080 ?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at this very interesting link about H.264 CODEC and web compression:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/qt_h-264_moviesfcp.html
As WEB involves many compression and smaller frame sizes, the quality will be on par for both formats.
iDVD will accept HD sequences movies from FCE but it will convert them to standard definition as it cannot output (authoring and burning) high def blu-ray DVD.
Look at this link (altough you don't have ProRes codec with FCE package...) about HDV limitation for DVD usage:

Presets for 720p 60 and 1080p 30?

I'm trying to figure out the correct project presets in Premere Elements 8 to use for video created using a Contour HD camcorder. The files it produces are .mov files using the H.264 codec with AAC audio. The camcorder will output either 720p at 30 or 60fps or 1080p at 30fps.
I have been able to edit the 720p 30fps files using the HDV 720p 30 preset with fairly good results. However, looking through the list of project presets I'm not sure what to choose for 720p 60 or 1080p 30. Is there a way to be able to edit these formats in PE8?

If I go that route, I'm assuming that I would lose video quality since I would be converting to a format that has a lower resolution. I would like to keep the videos in HD quality if possible.
After doing some more digging, I came across this post that provided additional presets for progressive video formats:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2694134#2694134
Using the preset for "AVCHD Full HD 1080p 30" I was able to directly import a 1080p file from my camcorder, edit it, and export it as a 1080p .mp4 file. I think this should do the trick and allow me to edit my videos without converting them first.
Is this the best way to do this, or would there still be some benefit to doing an external conversion first? Is there any drawback to selecting either AVCHD or HDV as the project format when the source files are not either of those formats? Things seem to be working correctly now, but I suppose I would like to understand what is actually going on to avoid future headaches.
Thanks!

How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
Thanks!
Matt

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
Thanks for the help!
FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

Goal
To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
Tools on Hand
Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
FFMpegx CODEC pack.
CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
So far I've been able to
I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it. I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc.
Problems I've encountered
I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project. For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio. But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect. I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too. Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD. I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project.
I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer. I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
Current steps I'd like to take
I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance). I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others. Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize? I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264. the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless). I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
How do I choose a preset for my new project? These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different). Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types? I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere? Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset? I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start? Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
Thank you for helping a newbie. I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything. I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
*It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed.

You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
the model 300
Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
need that, look at the model 55
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 for good tapes, or
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300 better with OLD tapes

Presets for M2TS Files

I've been struggling with quality issues when using my JVC HD7 and Premiere. I've been using MPEGStreamClip to convert the TOD files to DV to edit in Premiere, but I got a lot of swimming in the shadows. Yesterday I came across this post http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7b7e7?@@
and realized I could rename the file, and it gave me much better quality to boot. My only issue now is the renamed file file has to be rendered for me to be able to work on it. I was still using the preset for dv files.
What settings would you folks suggest I use to be able to work on files without rendering. I'm shooting in SD. My machine is only a dual core. I'm using Windows 7 64X with 3Gigs of RAM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Import preset problem

A warm welcome to the Import Preset; except I'm having a problem. I have saved a few presets but when I select them only the panels on the right are changed so I see, for example, Add (to) My Catalog and Develop Settings and Metadata are just as I have set them. BUT "Select a Source" says just that, when I'd like it to go to the folder from which I want it to import. BTW there is no card in the reader, this is just an import from a folder into the catalog.
Should the preset "remember" the folder to import from, or have I misunderstood?

Should the preset "remember" the folder to import from, or have I misunderstood?
No, only the "rest" of Import dialog. The concept is: a preset remembers "how to treat the files you are importing" from any location.

LR4.1 preset for sharpening darkens pictures

Hello,
the Adobe presets delivered with LR4 for sharpening include a command line which forces a switch to the new process engine "2012" or ProcessVersion = "6.7". I do not understand why Adobe allows a general preset to include a process version change command.
As a result, these sharpening presets can not be used on photos from an older LR3.x catalog without affecting the exposure or brightness - if you do, the picture exposure or brightness or whatever is set to lower settings, the histogram shows a darkening of about 2/3 aperture. Unfortunately, as the exposure changes, no slider or number value of the exposure, brightness etc. do change - very inconsistent.
In case you would choose to develop an older photo in LR4.1 and first use the upate icon button right of the picture to update the photo to process version 2012, then the picture will convert without changes in exposure (to the new process version) and then, the sharpening preset will not alter the exposure.
Also, it is hard to understand that the command line in the preset has a different result compared to the update button.
Presets seem to be dependent on certain process versions. No consideration is visible in the software for upgrade of change management of presets vs. process versions. A hard switch by command line does not to the job - this command line should not be in the preset. OR - the presets have to be named "LR4.1 presets only".
I consider this behaviour to be a bug or nonconformity of the software.
Mostly confused. I will have to manage all manually, with a catalog of approx. 35.000 pictures.
Any resolution to this?

There are a number of LR4 Develop presets That apply PV2012 without doing the develop conversion process. This sure looks like a bug to me!
I agree with Rob that there should be a "warning" popup and proper conversion if you choose to proceed.

For now your easiest solution is to create your own develop presets, or copy LR3's presets by 'Import' into a 'New Folder' titled 'LR3 Presets inside the LR4 Develop module 'Presets' panel.

I just tried it on my Windows 7 LR4.1 and the LR3 presets work fine in LR4. It looks like they also include PV2010 as part of the LR3 preset, so make sure you don't use them with any LR4 PV2012 processed images. LR3 must be installed (or reinstalled) to 'Import' the LR3 develop presets into LR4.
Here's the path on Windows 7 to 'Import' the LR3 presets inside LR4's Develop module:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\Lightroom Presets
The new 'LR3 Presets' folder will also show up in LR3's Develop preset panel. Simply ignore it if you still use LR3, but don't delete the folder.
