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.

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,

New process in LR 4.2 RC for Leica M Monochrom?

There is a message when importing DNG files shot with a Leica M Monochrom with LR 4.2 RC indicating some new process is implemented for the camera and prompted the user for update?
What new process is implemented in this regard? does LR4.2RC turn off the demosaic algorithm for the M Monochrom files now?
Thanks a lot.
Simon

I see no message when importing a few Leica M Monochrom sample DNGs, either.
Could the message be related to the application of an Import preset that does not have the Process Version or perhaps has the PV2010 Process Version coded in it, and it has nothing to do with the camera, itself?
Or if you’re importing LR3 images that already have an XMP with PV2010 and you add those to your new LR4 catalog, perhaps there is some sort of warning about upgrading the Process Version. And similarly, if these are old photos with PV2010 in the XMP and you click on the warning triangle on the Loup view for the images then you will see a message about upgrading to PV2012.

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?

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?
Gerd

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.
You can submit a bug report here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
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.
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/04/updating-develop-presets-for-lightroom-4-2 .html
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.

Which --Project Properties--Preset for 1920x1080 HDV 1080p30 footage?

Hi,
New to the HD world and have to make lower third for my footage. My media frame size is 1920x1080 and the compressor is HDV 1080p30. (I shot it progressive because it is for the web)
I don't see a preset for HDV 1080p30? Just presets for (HDV 1080i60), (HDV 1080i50), and (HDV 1080p24). Where is the preset for HDV 1080p30 and/or which one should I use to make my lower third over the footage?
Thanks,
-marco

Motion Project presets are not codec specific, they just set up the project size, aspect ratio, field order and frame rate.
Pick one that matches your footage, or you can use "import as project" to create a project based on the footage you import.

Camera Raw brightness and contrast preset for art capture?

I'm capturing oil paintings for reproduction with a D3x tethered to Lightroom 3. I'm converting though in camera raw. My camera profile is created using Color Checker Passport software/target which uses a DNG file. Given that, the profile is build without brightness or contrast adjustments. My question is, for accurate color, tone and exposure capture should the default ACR presets for brightness and contrast be reset to 0?
Thanks!

Or use the Zero'd setting on import to get no initial settings. However, I thing you'll find doing your own is better.

Freezing in import dialog when selecting "Import Preset" FIXED IN LR3.2

Hi all,
I have just installed Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit system.
When in the import dialog if i change any settings and click "Save Current Settings as Import Preset", Lightroom 3 freezes and after a minute displays the dialog to name the new Preset. After entering a new name for the Preset and clicking OK it freezes again! then eventually comes back.
I'm also getting freezes when selecting a different import drive, but that only seems to happen when using the external network drives and is possibly un-related.
I have tried running scandisk and defrag on all my drives (no change), Removing all external network drives (no change!).
My system config is as follows;
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit 4GB RAM 2x 1TB SATA Hard Drives 3.1GHZ E8500 Dual-Core Intel CPU
Plenty of space free on both drives (500GB in each), Swap on D: Drive and O/S on C:
I installed by un-installing the Lightroom 2.6 copy and running the new install(in case it's relevant!)
Lightroom 2.6 was running perfectly before the upgrade.
Any ideas I can try?
Thanks in advance!

FIXED IN Lightroom 3.2 Update

No, factory presets are embedded inside Lightroom and cannot be removed.
Well, actually, they can, but this is undocumented and you'll have to do it after each update.

Auto-import Presets

I searched the forum(s) for this request but didn't find anything that seemed relevant, so here goes (and my apologies if this has been requested before or is already available through some option I missed): I use auto-import all the time -- it's a standard part of my workflow for new images from my cameras, whether tethered or not. To cope with the half dozen or so different scenarios and situations that are repeatedly part of those workflows, I'd like to be able to have a pull-down list of named auto-import presets under the auto-import preferences dialog. This would cover things like location the imported files are moved to, canned metadata to be applied, processing, etc. in named configurations.
Not a huge deal, but it'd certainly make my life somewhat easier and less error-prone while out in the field....

I second that. Plus an option just to watch a folder, instead of auto-copy only

Lightroom not loading custom settings and imported presets when launched

So I read an article about deleting windows temp files and I did so with the intention of bring my computer back up to speed.
The recycle bin has since been emptied.
When I launch Lightroom in Windows XP my previously imported presets as well as a couple other custom settings (ID plate) don't show up. I have to re-import them everytime I launch Lightroom unless I'm opening a previous cataloge.
Any ideas?

Here's my entire process -
1 - load my SD card in to my computer and import RAW files in to a file on my computer and on to an external hard drive.
2 - remove the connection of my external hard drive
3 - Open LR 5 - Import the files I just loaded to my computer
4 - go to develop in LR 5 make my edits
5 - when done or done for the day on my edits - I back up my LR 5 library and close LR 5
6 - To start editing again - I open my LR 5 with the same library I closed the day before and here is where the hiccup comes in.
Files are always in the same location & file names that I named them when I did the initial import to my computer and external hard drive. I have Windows 8 OS.
No, there were not "!" on any of the images.
