LR4 settings for converting Panasonic GF3 raws?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but I'll pose it anyway.  I'm looking for LR4 settings that will make raws from a Panasonic GF3 approximate the camera's default jpeg output, at least for color & tone curve.
Does anyone have settings for this camera that they care to share?

  • Optimal Settings for Converting Sony AVCHD .MTS Footage for DVD Delivery

    I am starting with footage from a Sony HDR-SR7 camcorder. Since iMovie is still kind of wonky with this, I am going to batch convert all my clips using the VeggieTools plug-in scripting for *Sony Vegas Pro* (under my Windows partition of my MacBook Pro). I can convert over each file into a new clip in a lot of different formats.
    My goal is to *bring the footage over to Mac and edit it in Final Cut Express.* Eventually, I will be mastering and delivering on DVD (most likely through iDVD). And I am looking for guidance.
    First, I have a lot of choices for the conversion format. But I am not sure what to use. I know that the original is upper field dominant and HD in size (16:9). I will eventually be going to standard DVD NTSC (with letterboxing top and bottom to fill up the format space of the 4:3 aspect ratio). And I assume that is lower field dominant.
    Do I need to find some setting that lets me convert the footage to double the 29.97 fps rate while interpolating the fields? Or do I not have to worry about this? I am worried that bringing the size of the footage down will create some weird artifacts if this isn't taken care of first.
    I guess the main question is, since I am looking to pretty much just edit these clips together and won't be doing much in the way of special effects, what's the best way or format to choose to *turn the HD footage into high quality SD footage* that I can quickly trim and string together *in Final Cut Express*...
    Not sure if I gave enough info. I will be checking often in anyone wishes to try and tackle this one and needs more details...
    And thanks for listening!!

    OK my fault for not being clear on an extremely important point: I don't need anamorphic widescreen. Sorry to waste your brainpower on my lack of clarity. Mea culpa.
    I intend to show this only on a standard definition TV from a standard definition DVD player. The "letterboxing" I spoke of is intentional on my part inside the standard def 4:3 frame. I will just let there be black bars at the top and the bottom.
    So I don't need full super high resolution during this transfer (IF iMovie hadn't stopped recognizing my Sony AVCHD MTS camera after the first batch of video I collected, this wouldn't even be an issue. Been spending days on the forums trying all the solutions for the rest of my footage...).
    But now that I have a workaround, I am just mostly confused about what to do about the field order (and thus, the frame rate) and the resizing (for convenience in size and playback speed). The original is upper first, and I am pretty sure that the QuickTime Movie I eventually make for iDVD should be lower field first (haven't tried tackling the can of worms of ideal MOV settings for an iDVD standard def disc yet).

  • Order type settings for  convert planned order to production order

    Dear sir,

    Regards,

    Hi,
    You will not get a production order out of MD50. That would have to be set up in the SD customizing for the sales order item, but I am not sure that would work with your two-plant setup.
    After MD50 you need to run CO41 for the collective conversion (and I also recommend the mentioned production scheduling profile customizing and then maintain this profile in the material master work scheduling view)

  • Best settings for converting videos

    I have been using Visual Hub to get my videos in the right format for my Apple TV.

    I share your grief. I converted all my videos for the Apple TV and now have to re-covert them to the iPod format to get them to play on my iPhone. I am a massive Mac fan, but this has left me a bit po'd. Not to mention it's further bloating up my iTunes library, which has turned into a sloth since adding in all the media for my Apple TV. I'm now at 97+ gigs. The rest of my machine is fast (DUal 2.3 G5 tower with 2.5gb ram) but iTunes is a dog.

  • Format|settings for converting AVC MPEG-4 footage to import into project

    hi.
    so the graphic designer for my favourite band dropped a couple of ~1⅓ gig MPEG-4 Movie (.m4v files consisting of footage taken during concerts in 2000|2001 on a handheld digital camcorder) into my lap the other day—& asked me if i could clean it up & split the each show’s file up into segments short enough to upload to YouTube...& while i feel fairly confident i can swing that order once i’ve got the footage in Final Cut, i’d greatly appreciate some advice regarding...making it to that premise. um. basically, if i try to import any of these .m4a files into Final Cut, i get this error:
    screenshot → [http://s3.amazonaws.com/ember/67PNmuKRePVvWJfFudHiSKj7kr9PfgzI_o.png]
    so...after some preliminary investigation, i take it that i need to convert each of these files into a different format that Final Cut won’t turn its nose up at (—right?). which brings me to the crux of the matter:
    §1 · *what format &|or settings* (—compatible with FCP7!—) *would result in the least loss of quality in the process of conversion,* if the original file is as delineated in this screenshot (→ [http://s3.amazonaws.com/ember/AAd0FBegXjXLXqtas8f9xIZa0v0TvrO3_l.png])?
    §2 · *what program would you recommend i use to do this* (as yet hypothetical, albeit) *file conversion* (as prescribed in the answer to preceding enquiry)?

    hey, great! thanks for the absurdly-prompt response. looks like that’ll do the trick.
    though! a minor clarification, mostly just to satisfy my curiosity—
    there are five Apple ProRes codecs:
    · Apple ProRes 4444
    · Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    · Apple ProRes 422
    · Apple ProRes 422 (LT)
    · Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)
    i’m guessing that—considering this footage is shot with a consumer-level cam, & is only 720x480 besides—the Apple ProRes 422 will be more than enough, right? that’s the one i should be using...riiight? (i mean...i figure anything more than that would be overkill,—or at least a moot point, if the original file doesn’t have anywhere near the level of detail|precision that the more heavy-duty iterations of ProRes affect—) ...is any of this speculation on target?
    (i’m mostly concerned on account of the blurb about Chroma Sampling on page 7 of *Apple’s White Paper on the ProRes family* (→ [http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/docs/AppleProRes_White_Paper_July2009.pdf])—since i want to do some pretty hefty colour correction {probably the 3-way color corrector + desaturate highlights & lows filters...though that’s just a hunch} on all these files, & i reeeeeeally don’t want to lose any data that might improve the quality|accuracy|&c. of said corrections.)
    —& if it’s at all significant, i may be trying to use the SmoothCam thing on these as well...though this footage is so shaky & erratic i wouldn’t be surprised if trying to make it slightly less emetic is a nonesuch of a lost cause.

  • Settings for converting 1080 to 640x480?

  • What are the format settings for the Panasonic HDC-HS9 on Final Cut Pro?

    I have the Panasonic HDC-HS9 and I have recorded a load of stuff; however when it comes down to editing it I can't seem to get the right format setting/easy set up in Final Cut Pro.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you used the Log and Transfer window and transcoded the AVCHD files that that camera records to ProRes? If not try that. AVCHD has to be transcoded in order for FCP 6 to work with it, and ProRes is a lossless compression so it's the way to go here I think. You open the preferences in the Log and Transfer window (opened by typing shiftcmd8). The prefs are in a button with a little gear picture on it in the Log and Transfer window. You navigate to the original files shot by your camera and choose ProRes 422 as the codec. Then set sequence settings to be ProRes. You also must have the latest FCP software to all to work.

  • Best Settings For Converting Audio Music CD's To MP3 Format

    I have a huge collection (between my dad and I) of music CD's that I want to add to iTunes and put on several iPods (my 80 GB Classic, his 16 GB Nano and my mom's 8 GB Nano). What are the best settings to accomplish this and have it sound the best when loaded onto the iPods?

    Depending on how good your headphones are and how good your hearing is different settings will yield acceptable results. The old, years ago, MP3 setting was always 128k. This is generally a decent compromise between file size and audio quality.
    If all devices are iPods the you can get slightly better audio with same size files by using AAC format set to 160k.

  • Camera Raw Sharpening Settings for Landscapes

    Hi
    Would anyone be so kind as to tell me if they have their own preferred sharpening (Detail) settings for sharpening landscapes in Camera Raw, and what these settings are.
    Also if you have sharpening settings for other photographs I would also be very grateful for them. Maybe there is a guide out there that gives suggested sharpening parameters for the Detail tab that someone may know of?
    Thanking you in advance for any anticipated help you can give me here.

    The short answer is to dial in what looks right.  Sometimes that's NO sharpening.  Only experience will tell you what will work best in YOUR post processing workflow.  You have to experiment some to arrive at your own best practices.
    May I suggest some additional things that I've found to be useful:
    1.  Convert to a resolution higher than the native camera photosite count.  In other words, if you're shooting a 10 MP camera, convert to the 17 MP size.
    2.  Determination of a good conversion sharpening value will depend on what you're going to do with an image.  You might, for example, choose to dial in a LOT of sharpening during conversion if you're going to immediately downsize an image greatly for web display.  Or you might dial in very little if you have a sophisticated sharpening tool you're going to use later.
    Hope this helps.

  • Updated Camera list for converting Raw files in PSE7

    I am looking to instal an updated CameraRaw.8bi file to accomodate recent cameras. 
    Camera updated needed for Canon powershot G15.
    Regards Daz.

    Photoshop Elements 7 supports Adobe Camera Raw from version 4.5 to 5.6 only.
    Please refer following document for you reference:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Canon Powershot G15 starts supported from Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3.
    Hereby,raw files from particular camera is not supported in Photoshop Elements 7.0.
    However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
    The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.

  • Converting PDF to RAW for display in the portal

    Hi all,
    We have an application that took a pdf and converted it into a raw datastring to pass to the portal for display purposes.
    We have migrated this function to a unicode system and are now struggling to get this to work.
    Code in non-unicode system
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
        IMPORTING
          bin_filesize   = e_filesize
        TABLES
          otf            = lt_otf
          doctab_archive = lt_doctab_archive
          lines          = lt_pdf.
      LOOP AT lt_pdf INTO wa_pdf.
        CLEAR et_pdf.
        MOVE wa_pdf TO et_raw.
        APPEND et_raw.
      ENDLOOP.
    Now in the unicode system.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
        IMPORTING
          bin_filesize   = e_filesize
        TABLES
          otf            = lt_otf

                       IMPORTING buffer = buffer1 ).
        <x_wrk_line> = <x_struc>.
        APPEND et_raw.
      ENDLOOP.
    If we simply download the pdf after we have tun the  'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' Fm the pdf created is fine.  However when we view the output in the portal of the pdf (as streamed in the raw format) we just get chinese looking (they may well not be any language) characters in the pdf. 
    With a non-unicode R/3 system the pdf was displayed without any issues in the portal.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • RAW Plist settings for a Canon Powershot S40

    I have a lot of RAW Canon .CRW's in iPhoto. I now use Aperture for my Canon EOS 20d, but would like to use Aperture for my old S40 digicam photos.
    I tried editing RAW Plist by copying one of the sections (Canon s60). However, white highlights are blown out to fluorescent pink.
    Any recommendation as to the correct RAW settings I should edit into RAW Plist?
    Thank you.

    Hi David,
    I work with a Pentax *ist DS which also isn't supported (yet?) in the Raw.plist. I changed the existing entry from Pentax *ist D to Pentax *ist DS which allows Aperture to at least read the raw files... but the colours were not quite correct. However, there is a trick which partially alleviates the problem.
    If you look closely at the Raw.plist, you'll find that there are one to several matrices for each model, called m1, m2, mc (and possibly others). Now, the values for at least the m2 matrix can be found in the open source "dcraw" (on which part of Aperture's raw developer appears to be based).
    Thus, load the source of dcraw (look it up via google), and find the matrix appropriate for your camera in that code. The numbers given there need to be divided by 1000 (example: 10948 becomes 1.0948). Next, you need to replace the m2 matrix' values in the Raw.plist with those from dcraw, and you're set.
    I haven't yet found with what to replace the m1 and mc matrix values. I guess that the various matrices are used by Aperture for various white points (d50, d65, etc) and help Aperture to get the colour of your photos right. However, with the method described above, you'll get rather accurate colour reproduction as long as your white balance settings were correct while you took your photo.
    Other camera specific values in the Raw.plist seem to contain the settings for camera-specific noise reduction, sharpening, boost etc. - I don't know anything about these (yet).
    Now if somebody could show how to determine the values for the m1 and mc matrices, that would be a great help.
    Kind regards,
    Karl

  • Support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) Files?

    Any word on support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) files? They load into Aperture (and Photoshop, too) with the dreaded "unsupported image type" alert.

    The GH4 comes with a software disc that includes SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE for Mac & PC. Installing the software seems to also install the Panasonic Raw 2 Image Plugin. Once the software was installed, I was able to open the RW2 files shot with the GH4 in iPhoto, Lightroom 5 and Preview. After SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE is installed, the RW2 preview images also appear in Finder.
    I was not able to find the software on the Panasonic web site, so if you are installing on a new Mac without a CD/DVD drive, you'll need to use Remote Disc.
