Mpeg 2 vs dvcprohd 1080p
Need Direciton:
Ive made many dvds in the past and have always used mpeg2 to render the file that I then put into encore or what ever dvd authoring program im using.
I am now creating a dvd game video which requires a menu that pops up after the video that has questions. Now that menu is a psd that is at 1920x 1080, which is the format I used from one of the templates in Encore.
The problem is im new to HD video formats and I started rendering out using diferent codecs to see the quality differnce. Simply because the psd at 1920 x 1080 kept shifting when I rendered out my video in mpeg2.
So I came across dvcprohd 1080p codec which I rendered out my video in and the psd will still shift but not noticable compared to mpeg 2 format.
So I guess my question is if I render out my games in dvcpro hd 1080p then bring in those files into encore, does encore render out the whole video in the right format that will play on any dvd player?
Is there a standard practice for bringing in cretain formats into encore for creating a dvd, or will encore do the work when rendering final dvd?
Ive looked around and it seems that mpg2 is the standard but Im not satisfied because my final dvd looks great on my wide screen tv when I us dvcpro hd, but will it be able to be masproduced?
any links or knowledge is greatly appreciated....just trying to learn and understand...thanks
Yes, that is true...I guess my question was too long. I think I have narrowed it down by searching through the forums.
I read that "Encore (and all DVD authoring applications) output all video to MPEG-2".
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/444574
So my question is does it matter what format you bring into Encore, since it will render it out at mpeg 2 no matter what?

AME CC MPEG-2 DVD Encode Problems
Having an issue with MPEG-2 DVD exports using CBR instead of VBR. I've always used CBR before with no problems at all. Now, when I export with CBR (actual bitrate doesn't matter), I get this weird pulsing artifacting in the video. It doesn't do it in VBR, but I'm not altogether happy with how crossfades turn out with VBR (lots of blocking).
I'm using the latest versions of Premiere CC and AME CC. The source video files I'm converting are Quicktime ProRes 422LT files at 1920x1080 23.97. I'm on an iMac running Mavericks - 3.5ghz i7 32gb RAM with NVIDIA GTS 780M with 4gb video RAM.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
-EdwinI'm getting something similar with HD MPEG-2 encodes in PPCC and AMECC. I've got a couple of broadcast outlets that specify 29.97fps 20mbps CBR MPEG-2, one in 1080p and one in 1080i. Any time I encode in CBR, I get that weird kind of pulsing. I've tried it with automatic GOP placement on and off, doesn't seem to make a difference. The only way I've found to fix it is to (with the stations' blessing) encode as VBR MPEG-2.

Has anyone figured out how to export from PPro/AME with settings from an specific sequence? Meaning, if my sequence
is DVCPROHD 1080p and it has 10 mono audio tracks in it, I could export a QT in DVCPROHD with all those 10 mono tracks
embeded without stereo or 5.1 mix down. Any pointers? That would be a nice option to have. Thanks!
PS: I don't know why "Match Sequence Settings" exports as MPEG2... even when my sequence is DVCPROHD... Go figure...PP cannot export anything but mono, stereo or 5.1 audio.
Sorry.
(On a side note, the Match checkbox matches your Preview Render settings, not your footage. That's why it comes out as MPEG.) -
Using Razor Tool decreases video's quality ?
Hi everyone,
I'm having this problem that I've been struggling with for 2 days now
I record a screen tutorial with BB Flashback Recorder, the output video from it is perfect (1920 x 1080), very clear!
When I put it in PPro CS5.5, the video becomes a little pixelated, but still acceptable. But just when I use the RAZOR TOOL, or a Video Transition on it, the resolution immediately becomes so bad that I can hardly read texts from the video!
I've also tried to record with other Frame size (1280x1080, 960x720...), set the Playback Resolution and Pause Resolution to Full, make the clip Square Pixel, Progressive Scan... but nothing works.
Please anyone have any idea about this problem ?Hi Troy,
Thank you for answer
The footage format I use is .AVI, framerate 24 fps, and the sequence setting is DVCPROHD 1080p 24:
Editing mode: P2 1080i/1080p 60Hz DVCPROHD
Timebase: 23.976fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1280h 1080v (1.5000)
Frame rate: 23.976 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: DVCPRO HD (1.5) Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
I play the initial video with Window Media Player (by "clear" I mean it looks exactly like the screen without recording) , I also try to play with Media Player Classic, not as good, but still ok.
I've tried setting magnification to 100%, RAM previewing it, and rendering a short part... like you said, but it’s the same…
Hey but I find out this morning that if I set the “Interpret Footage” – “Pixel Aspect Ratio” to DVCPRO HD 1.5.. the problem with resolution and razor tool is gone, however, the video suffer from STRETCH… -
Best Premiere sequence type for image sequences
Hi!
Lately I have been working a lot with intermediate image sequences and I'm looking for ways to improve performance.
The original footage is DVCProHD 1080p and when put it in a sequence created with the preset for that, everything runs very smoothly. But when I bring in intermediate files that were created with the same resolution, but that use PNG, Targa or Tiff instead, rendering becomes very sluggish. That makes me wonder if there maybe is a better sequence preset that I could use for playback of these image sequences? Or does the sequence preset even make a difference here?
Also, I think there are differences with the rendering speeds of different image sequence formats and that's why I'm asking which ones you guys prefer? I liked PNG because the file sizes are so small compared to TIFF or Targa, but (if I'm not imagining things) the render times seems to increase with PNG.
I welcome any discussion on the subject!With image sequences, probably the biggest thing to address is the pixel x pixel sizes of the stills. For maximum performance (and quality in my book), I like to have those Scaled to match the Frame Size of the Project Sequence. The PNG format should be just fine, but size DOES matter. What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of your stills?
I do a lot of work with stills, but not usually in image sequences. For my work, I usually just leave the stills as PSD's, and never have any issues. These are Scaled to the Project, or only slightly larger (when I need to Pan on a Zoomed out image), and my Scaling is always done in Photoshop, prior to Import.
Good luck,

Cleaning up artifacts around video frame edges
Long story short (and one I don't have all the technical details about), when recording DVCPROHD 1080p/24pA to P2 cards using a Panasonic HVX200, a strange flashing line artifact appears every four frames at the very top of the frame. Here's a quick GIF animation of two frames, one with the line, the other without (click to view in a pop-up):
It's really distracting, and while I can crop this out for either web or DVD delivery, it's not really possible for BR. What I'm trying to do is figure out a good way to clean up or remove this artifact.
I found Pixelan Clean Crop, and downloaded the demo; it works well. It basically blends a few lines together to effectively mask the flashing line. I'll buy this if necessary, but would prefer to do this with already-available plugins or techniques, if possible.
I've also successfully masked the line using the CC Simple Wire Removal effect (copied CycoreFX from AE), and by using the frame offset option along with Hold keyframes, I can mask this. However, it kills real time playback almost immediately.
Does anyone have any efficient or creative ways of eliminating this type of artifact using what's already available in Premiere? Or should I just pony up the cash for the Pixelan plugin and call it good?Does the "effect" only cover the pixels of the dark bar or does it actually extend further down the image as seen in the gif example?
I assume by "effect" you're referring to the artifact? Truthfully, the sample above is a bit distorted; I blew up the portion of the frame where the artifact appears, so it looks much larger than it is in reality. Here's an unprocessed frame right from a clip:
In the top left corner, running about a third of the way to the right, you'll see a pink line. There is also another pink line on the scan line above that that runs all the way across the frame. This flickers continuously, every fourth frame, which coincides with the 2:3:3:2 pulldown rate. If it was consistent, it wouldn't be that big of an issue (though still not right), but the flickering is so evident that eventually that's all you see!
maybe you could consider Instant HD to resize the clips marginally. I think it would do a great job on it.
Thanks for the recommendation; fortunately, the Pixelan CleanCrop effect fixed this up easily, at a bargain basement price. Rendered reasonably quickly too.
BTW - I have never seen this issue in my PAL HVXs (202)
Of course not--you don't have to suffer the ignomies of NTSC video! Since you've got those even integer frame rates that not only divide into each other nicely, but also don't require any of this pulldown nonsense, you're good to go. Always gotta be somethin'... -
Advice for keeping high quality files for archiving
I'm contemplating archiving here. I love reference files because they are pretty small in file size and don't compress. However, I have to worry that all my files will remain in the same exact place forever. I have found that is not always the case for whatever reason. Then there is self-contained reference files. A great idea...I don't have to worry about moved files but the file size is enormous. I do long videos (sometimes an hour or so) so file size is really important to me.
Is there anyway I can do a self-contained reference file but somehow reduce the file size or something? I know I'm throwing a bone here but I figured I would ask because my current scenario is not improving daily. I know I can put my hour or whatever to tape but that essentially is compressing it and I'm using valuable time. Any advice?HI Lowsky, I been down this road some time back and my opinion is that if you are working in any workflows associated with CMFs (contemporary media format) in a tapeless workflow then storing your LONG TERM content as CMF's on spinning disk will eventually lead to misery and a hopeless state of anger and heartache. Spinning disk is not the long term answer.
refer here for lots of detail: I have post this detail in another forum at
http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21284&page=6
*Archiving FCP Media Manager Projects, essence, import/transfer material.. etc*
Aside from many testimonials about DISK being faster (more accessible?) and convenient, storing content on spinning disk is a like as a child having all the toys you could imagine but only playing with your 3-4 favourites. (replace with any analogy). Simply you only need the stuff around on disk that you actually use a lot or currently.
I (and I'm not alone) don't trust and disk storage system unless you buy enterprise level disk arrays with some fault tolerance and smart disk array controllers AND that you have at least multiple instances of the content. I qualify ENTERPRISE disk systems - these at $USD5.00-$USD10.00/GB+. I mean those disk arrays from I,T. vendors, and M&E guys like Isolon, DDN, Apple, HP, Copan and their 40+ ilk.
The affordable stuff most of us is around $USD0.25-$USD0.75/GB - SATA and lowest end HBA's or simple controllers. Basically just spinning +power soaking heat dissipating buckets+ to put our content into. (USB | FW or the external JBOD disk enclosues with an HBA or higher FC disk arrays)
Most of these are enterprise disk storage systems that are out of the price range of many on this forum...
Devices like DROBO™ are cute but they are way way too slow (29MB/s when not busy consolidating itself ) and are very limited on their architecture for VIDEO work (useless). I gave mine away after a week to a photographer.
Alternatives like many sets of external and detachable and mobile spinning disks, leaving them spun down until use offer a great odea however unless the disk controller is savvy, you may as well have a bank of el cheapo Le Cie 1TB death disks and get on your knees and face the moon when you power them up.. (Good = luck with that!) mode=:rant
*Viable Archive Solutions for CMFs?*
After looking for viable solutions to by content storage problem after moving to a tapeless workflow with my HVX200 and P2, AND losing on two separate occasions a whole 1TB external disk (Le Cie).. losing most of the data of two drives (2 x 1TB over 4 months).. I have had it with disks!
For me, Disk storage should only be used like a +kitchen table+ for immediate and current and frequently accessed work. Like the +toy analogy+, hen not in use, put the toys away somewhere where they will not be damaged (the content objects) (like a large toy box or cupboard) that you can access with ease. (not the garden shed out the back nor the attic else it will never be used). This is workflow is simple enough..
My first thought for managing FCP media manager archives, P2 footage and final composites was to use BD's.. however the cost for the content that was wanted to archive was not cost effective. I had literally 100's of old video tapes, DV , HDV and ye old video8 rubbish that I needed to move to a CMF, all accessible via proxies and metadata (a la CATDV™ a mam from squarebox.co.uk). The restriction was COST of BD or DVD-DL media and worse the time of write and then access the material ESSENCE when I needed it.
I even looked for a while at many 100's of DVD-5's which in Hong Kong are as cheap as free beer coasters in a bar. I would buy them in canisters of 100's at a time. Simply these are cost effective using TOAST to make multivolumes self extracting archives, but are SOOOooooo slow to write and then access.
So I turned to looking at the economies and workflows of using LTO4 Ultrium data tape drive. I was quite surprised at the reasonable cost.
The cost of Ultrium LTO4 data tape media of to 800GB native for prices that are as cheap as $USD1.40/GB as pure media (the tape cartridge itself).It depend where you buy them and at what quantity. Of course there are the necessary offset/initial costs of the data tape drive AND the SAS HBA you will need for your mac. (LTO4 Ultrium @ $USD2700 and $USD150+ for SAS HBA). Much cheaper fo Ultrium LTO3 but lower data rates and capacities.
NExt year HP et al will have Ultrium LTO5 out at 1.5TB RAW/native capacity as their roadmap suggests.
THe uncompressed / RAW data rates of LTO4 Ultrium data tape drives for ARCHIVING material is for me between 105MB-109MB/sec (that's megabytes).. simply BLOWS any firewire 800 interface out of the water. There are many variables however essentially for people like us whose business is content creation or even the part timer who doesn't want to lose stuff, this is really worth a look. Again it will depend on the software you utilise. I use Tolisgroups BRU.
Just do the sums on the time it takes you to archive (or copy to another disk system [BD or DVD-5, DVD 9, et or a spindle) lets say 4 hours of DVCPROHD 1080P (110Mbs or just over 1GB/minute). You can see that this is a lot of content and will take a great deal of time.
This works out at roughly 240GB.
I think this will take over 500 minutes (6 hours? @ 2min/GB)+ to COPY on a FW400 interface and slightly less on a FW800 interface.
However it takes a mere 2200 second or 36 minutes using an LTO4 SAS Ultrium tape drive (with no tape mount/dismount timeloadlocate)!
On a lesser scale, a look at DDS tapes for the low end. These are despite rumours/myths are quite stable and work well with the right software on the mac and the mac laptop.
I am having great success with this archive and recall system using Tolisgroups BRU that is NATIVE for OSX.
I have posted some very recent information on the two SAS PCIe HBAs I am using (ATTOTECH and LSI) and the two tape drives I am using (HP and QUantum).
For LTO4 Ultrium SAS tape drives I would recommend only HP and ATTOTECH EXPRESSSAS as this is reliable and very stable and very fast for OSX.
I am very happy with this archive/recall workflow using LTO4 Ultrium data tape for FCP.

Deinterlacing 60i for 29.97 and YouTube
I'm using a Canon HFS 100 which records 60i default. Preparing / editing with PPRO CC, for YouTube, I've been routinely transcoding (Prelude) h.264 or MPEG to 29.97 1080P thinking it was the fastest easiest procedure, but now I've seen where I may be sacrificing sharpness / definition by doing so.
I was assuming all fields were processed into progressive. Is this not the case? If not, what's best?
It's hard to imagine that interlaced even has a place these days.
Objective: sharp video for YouTube and computer playback.
Thanks
GregYes, I think that's what I'll do; shoot all 30p. I have 60i, 30p and 24p, but initially thought that 60i transcoded to 30p would give a proper progressive blend of the lines. I see that it really results in half the physical lines in a blend of sorts. The images were so crisp anyway that it didn't matter.
I started off so thrilled with moving from SD to HD that I wanted "everything the new camera could give". Takes a while to learn.

Is premiere elements set to a default that only allows network safe colors to be used because I do not see an effect that you can apply that would ensure that you are using them I don't want to put a ton of work into a project to only have it be rejected because I couldn't apply a basic filter. I am using Premiere Elements 10.
That link was very informative Bill and I am still trying to completely understand it. It's still best if I do not have to do multiple imports/exports.
Looking in the advance share options via this path- share/computer/MPEG and then "HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality". It has three categories that may be changed within themselves to resolve the predicament of obtaining “safe colors”. The three categories are
Color Primaries: ITU-R.709
Transfer Characteristics: ITU-R.709
Matrix Coefficients: ITU-R.709
Under the Matrix Coefficients tab you are able to change "ITU-R.709" to a different option, "FCC". From what I can tell, these three categories are applicable and used for regulating the color schematics for your exported media to be shown on mediums ie. T.V. broadcasting. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info from Adobe on these options they offer and it's benefits.
Your completely free to critique my exporting method and please do (I use a personal preset, but for the purposes to help others I am trying to keep the info universal so it can help as many as possible. The one I'm using is basically identical to the said preset "HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality") -
I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
More later.

Exporting an 8-minute 1080p movie in MPEG-4 takes 4 hours?
Hi,
I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with me, my usage of Final Cut Express 4.0.1, or my MacBook. I'm new to Final Cut Express and to video editing.
I have a Canon camcorder which records AVCHD videos in 1080i. When importing video, I have to add a de-interlace filter on it so it doesn't look interlaced after export (which reduces the quality a bit, I found -- should I record in PF30 rather than 60 fps?). When rendering the video, it takes around 30 minutes for an 8-minute video. I know this is probably normal.
What I'm wondering is alright or not is the time it takes to export the processed 1080i video into an MPEG-4 1080p video. I'm exporting an 8-minute video right now and it's estimated to take 4 hours!
I have the impression iMovie may be able to export this kind of video faster. Is it normal for FCE to take so long to export such a short movie in MPEG-4?So I should not deinterlace in FCE? I tried exporting a movie without deinterlace before and the exported movie looked interlaced.
The sequence I'm exporting right now is quite simple. There's only one 8-minute video on one video track, stereo sound on two audio tracks, a fade-in, a fade-out, and a 10-second lower third on a separate video track.
I am not too sure what I'll do with a full-resolution MPEG-4 file. The only way for me to display a 1080p movie would be on my MacBook or if I connect the video output to an HDTV. I may want to upload the file on YouTube, Facebook, or Vimeo, for example, but I doubt any video-sharing site supports 1080. Also, exporting it to a DVD will probably not require 1080 and I do not have a BluRay disc burner.
And now, by the time I'm done writing this reply, the export finished successfully. It didn't take four hours, but maybe around 1.5 hours. However, when looking at the video, the quality is terrible.
I must say I'm at a loss here. Is there anything I'm not doing properly? -

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? When you view and listen to the playback of the Timeline video in the Edit area monitor, are you working with the rendered or unrendered Timeline?
What is the model/settings of the Fuji camera that recording the video? The settings seem to be for 1080 but is that 1080i or 1080p?
Are you saying that your video has a .mov file extension? What is the significance of MPEG video - I am thinking in terms of video compression? AVCHD, H.264, MotionJPEG, or other for video compression?
What are you or the project setting as the project preset to match the properties of the source video?

Why does De-interlacing looks better with MPEG StreamClip?
For our client we need to render 1080i for TV and 1080p for WEB. After creating graphics in AE we add final touch and audio in PR.
If we make it progressive in PR (CC2014.1) the zoom in the packshot does not look good.
However if we make the 1080i ProRes progressive in MPEG Streamclip the zoom does look great.
How is it possible a freeware swiss army-knife makes a better progressive export than commercial software?
Or is there something we do wrong?
Herewith links to the ProRes material:
