Importing Quality--NEED SOLVED FAST!!!--
Hello,
I am in need of some help with FCE. I am making a small student video and need to turn it in, in a day. I am trying to add credits to the end, they are exported from *After Effects* in very high quality. But as soon as I import the MOV file, it turns into cruddy quality. When I open the MOV file out of the finder, the quality is very high.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Keep in mind that FCE is designed to work with DV and Apple Intermediate Codec video. If your MOV file from After Effects is not in one of those codecs, it might play fine in QuickTime by itself but when you import it into FCE it has to be rendered into DV or AIC. That may be one of the causes of the loss of clarity. How did you export your credits from After Effects? Can you export from After Effects into DV NTSC or Apple Intermediate Codec?
I don't know how complicated the credits are that you are doing in After Effects but you can acheive very nice text credits with the Text or Title 3D generators right in FCE.

We can't know. You have not provided any system info, no details about your video files nor do we actually know what version of what program you are referring to.

Import quality issue with AVC/H.264 and workaround
When I import from my Sanyo Xacti HD700 using "Import from Camera..." the import quality has significant blocking / compression artifacts. However, if I copy the same file off the SD card from the camera and play it back in QTplayer it does not have this same blocking / compression artifacts.
The file is a .MP4 container using H.264 codec for video and AAC for audio. The resolution is 1280x720p and framerate 30fps.
After spending a significant portion of time messing around with iMovie 08 trying to get it to import without the quality loss I have discovered that "Import from Camera..." and "Import Movies..." have different behavior (in terms of video quality) on the SAME FILE.
*To reproduce*:
1) Record a video with Sanyo Xacti HD700 camera. (One with a nice color gradient is good because it will make the compression artifacts more obvious).
2) Import the video from the camera using "Import from Camera..." (Name the event "Import from Camera" so you can remember which is which)
3) Copy the .MP4 file from the mounted drive onto your local harddrive. (Not sure if this step is actually necessary, but haven't tried without)
4) Import the video from the .MP4 on your desktop using "Import Movies..." (Name the event "Import Movies") Notice that this completes much quicker than step 2.
5) Find the two imported movies in your "iMovie Events" folder. You will notice that both movies are different sizes when you would expect them to be identical. (In my case the movie from "Import from Camera" was 47.4MB while the movie from "import movies" was 33.1MB, and the file on the SD card was 33.1 MB)
6) At this point you will also notice that the movie imported from camera will have a custom name like clip-2007-12-26 14;41;44.mov while the movie from "import movies" will have the same filename as it did on the camera i.e SANY0025.MP4.
7) Now open both files in QTplayer and arrange them side by side showing the same frame. You will see that the quality is much worse in the file from "Import from Camera".
Hypothesis:
My guess is that when you select "Import from Camera" it does some transcoding on these files that it doesn't do when you select "Import Movies". (Maybe Import from Camera always transcodes, whereas Import Movies checks to see if it needs to transcode or not?) I believe this because it takes significantly longer using the "Import from Camera" during which time it would appear to be performing some type of transformation on the movie. Also, because the file name in the folder is different.
I believe that either this transcoding is flawed or of poor quality which leads to the poor quality video when importing.
*Work around*:
Use "Import Movies..." instead of "Import from Camera..."
Note that I have not yet taken this through the export process to know how this will impact the final output.
Finally, for the skeptics, here is a screengrab of the two movies side by side in QTplayer on the same frame. The one on the left was imported with "Import from Camera" and the one on the right with "Import Movies". Look at the right side of the yellow playset and also at the hair. In motion it looks quite bad.
Thoughts?Really? You don't see the difference?
Ok, well here is it blown up to 2X to make it more obvious:
and here it is blown up to 2X and with the contrast increased to make it even more apparent:
I perhaps didn't pick the best frame as an example, but it is very obvious in motion. If necessary I suppose I could post a small movie clip to show.

Transport on Quality need to be forced after a system copy
Hello Experts
I have an issue with some transport order on Quality (QUA) after a
database refresh from Production (PRD).
- Some transport Order on Quality need to be forced in the TMS (u126)
to be imported succesfully. An alarm 'original object cannot be
replaced' is shown if the import is performed normaly and tp end with
code 8 .
- QUA is a Copy of PRD , but this problem does not occurs on PRD .
Here is the log on QUA for OT T2DK954538
Start import LIMUREPSZ47_RFUSVS14 ...
R3TRPROGZ47_RFUSVS14 original object cannot be replaced
LIMUREPSZ47_RFUSVS14 was not imported in this step
T2DK954538 touched.
Here is the log on PRD for TO T2DK954538
Start import LIMUREPSZ47_RFUSVS14 ...
1 entry for TADIR imported
(R3TRPROGZ47_RFUSVS14 ).
0 entries from SMODILOG (PROGZ47_RFUSVS14
REPSZ47_RFUSVS14
- For information these TO were not released in QUA or DEV but were
issued on T2T ( when QUA was not integrated in the TMS ) . Apparently this
problem affect only the TO issued on this former system .
Do you have any clue regarding this problem ?
Thanks
Best Regards .
LionelHello
Thanks for you help . I will try to explain the multiple change which occured in the landscape during the upgrade ( 4.7 -> 6.2 ), a bit cumbersome ..
Before the upgrade the former landscape was T4D -> T4C -> T4P
The development T4D system was the last to be upgraded .
The system T4T was a standalone system ( Not in TMS ) used as development on the upgraded version .
T4D was removed from TMS to be upgraded and the Consolidation T4C took the place of the Development ( T4D ) . T4T was integrated as Quality in the landscape .
T4C -> T4T -> T4P
after the upgrade T4D took back his place as Development . Meanwhile T4C was refreshed by T4P .
T4D -> T4T -> T4P
Finally T4C was reintegrated in the landscape as Quality .
T4C -> T4C -> T4P
After the refresh we run the se06 in T4C . T4C is now configured the same way than T4P in the SCC4 .and in se06 his status is set to modifiable . A first sight the Development created under T4T (When it was the standalone DEV server ) can be imported without problem in the productive T4P but need to be forced in Quality T4C .
I was wondering if this problem can be linked with the original system or if some change need to be done in se06 .
Thanks for your advices .

Problems with exporting. Need help fast
So I recorded some video game footage (Battlefield 4) and when I look at the raw file, it says it's 1920x1080. I edited it and finished it and even if I look in info it says that it's 1920x1080.
But when I try to export the video it says that the source file is 1280x1080
So when I export it, it is in REALLY bad quality and I usually upload high quality videos! What do I do? I need help, fast! I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
I have a i7 3770k CPU so I don't think that is an issue. 8GB of ram aswell.Quickest way:

i want the 200 mb plan for my iphone and wanted to know if instead of using safari i can use apps such as facebook or tumblr without using up my data. i got the asnwer that i can avoid that by using wi-fi, but how does that whole thing work?
sorry i am a bit new at this, and i need help fast!
THANK YOU!hookedonlerman wrote:
but will that replace the use of using up data? (wifi & 3G)
It sounds as if you don't really understand what "using data" means. Data is not something different from WiFi and 3G, it's something sent over WiFi and 3G. Think of data as water and WiFi and 3G as types of pipes. Some apps need to send and receive data to work. That data can be sent or received in different ways. It can be sent over WiFi or 3G. Both official iPhone carriers in the U.S. have metered data plans. It's sounds as if you're talking about AT&T's 200 mb data plan. WiFi is not provided by your cellular carrier. You can have WiFi from your Internet Service Provider at home or you can access free WiFi at places like McDonalds or Starbucks or paid WiFi at places like airports.
If you have WiFi turned on on your phone and WiFi is available, the phone will default to WiFi. WiFi is faster than 3G and generally not metered, and is sometimes even free. If you are out of range of WiFi, you would be using 3G to send and receive your data. With a metered plan, you need to keep an eye on how much you are using because if you go over your allowance, you will be charged additional fees. -
Is there a way to create my own app store that I can share with employees? I'm thinking apps that we've identified as important or needed, all in one place.
Not exactly your own app store, but close. Apple has an App Store Volume Purchasing Program for Business > http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
It allows you to purchase apps in any quantity you desire and pay using a company credit card. You will receive a spreadsheet of redeem codes which you distribute to your emloyees. The program guide has complete information > http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US.pdf -

Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes. However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup. For recovey mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

Need help fast with a buying decision - Leadtek 6800 GT
Hi there, I have the opportunity to swap my Club 3D 6800 GT for a Leadtek 6800 GT. The reasons I would do this would be the cooling and the games bundle.
I just wanted to know if anyone knows how the cooling is on this particular card and if it would be better than the reference design?
My other concern is that it has a huge copper heatsink on the back of the card, this would sit directly under the CPU HSF. There really would only be a few millimeters between them and due to the position of the socket on this board, the heat sink fins go up vertically. Would the heat from the card's copper heat sink rise up into the CPU HSF grooves and raise the temperature of the CPU?
Thanks for any help
I kind of need help fast as someone said they were gonna buy my other card of ebay today, there's still time to stop them if this is gonna be a bad ideai would definately take the leadtek one over the club3d card, the cards themselves are all based on refrence designs just different cooling solutions and bundles
and the cooler on the leadtek is a lot better, and it isnt more noisy then the club3d one at all
it has better cooling, and they seem to be the ones which are the most available, and they overclock very well due to the better cooling -
Need Help Fast! Page is dispalying twice in quiz
I have created a quiz using tips from another post in this
forum. I insterted a regular slide with a continue button before
the quiz questions. I insterted another regular slide at the end of
the questions with a re-take button that points to that first
slide. This part is working great. When I take the published quiz,
I click the continue button, and instead of continuing, the slide
redisplays. I click the button again, and it moves forward like
it's supposed to. Any advice?
I'm supposed to have these posted in our LMS today for
testing, so I need help fast!!! Thanks!!What you're seeing is likely the result of a MS patch for IE
in response
to the Eolas patent suit.
MS recently updated IE so any content shown in a page using
the Embed,
Object, or Script tags will need to be 'activated' before
they can be
clicked (or otherwise 'interacted with').
Your home computer probably hasn't had the latest security
rollup
installed, is why you're not seeing the issue on that
machine.
There is a work around, many site mention it. This may be a
good place

Do I need a fast system drive if i also have a RAID 0 array for media?
If my video and media files are all on a Fast RAID array then do i need a fast system drive?
Im building a system. The only thing on my system drive will be programs. And I will have a RAID array for my video and PSD files - but my System drive is an older UltraDMA EIDE133 250g Maxtor. This system drive is testing at 51mb/s Read, and 26mb/s write. (According to Blackmagic disk speed check program)
A New SATA drive tests at 53 write and 43 read. So should i bother upgrading my system drive to a RAPTOR 150 or stick with the older EIDE drive? Main Programs i use are Adobe After effects, premiere pro, Photoshop for uncompressed editing with blackmagic intensity.
Specs:
MB: Tyan K8WE
AMD Opteron 270 (dual)
4GB RAM.
Nvidia Quadro FX 560
Apple cinema Display 30'
4x500gb RAID array (2TB total) on Nvidia SATA motherboard controler.Jeron,
Yes, you are probably.
- Its i either spend $900 dollars or $200.
The best possible Rig is this; I spend $500 dollars on a dedicated PCI-X RAID controller card. I buy a Raptor 150g system drive $200. And then buying another 3 drives to add to the RAID array of 2 disks i already have = $300.
Or option 2: My motherboard (K8WE) has 4 SATA-II ports. So I could set up a 4 disk raid with what i have right now and be achieving 210+ mb/s read and write. My system drive would be off the IDE/133 channel. Then i would only have to spend $200 on 2 disks.
I have been trying to decipher if it is logical to spend that much more money - when it is possible i will only achieve maybe 50 more Megabytes a second. - and have windows and programs start faster.
A part of me says - "any time i try to save money on something it comes with calamity and disaster". vs. a part of me that says - "you could get more bang for your buck". -
