Output quality less than source file in sequence FCP 7

I imported a .mov file into my sequence. It is 1920X1080 Apple ProRes.422. 7 1/2 mins. long. 6.18GB.
I added a new audio file for the entire sequence. Inserted a few edits to the credits using Motion.
I exported, first at Apple ProRes 422 HD also 1920X1080. It ended up being over 9GB. The quality was worse than the
source .mov file. These were both auditioned in Quicktime. The original .mov file looks fine at full resolution,
but not after my export. I've read the manual, consulted my online tutorials, read forums. I believe I have set all my
export settings correctly, yet it doesn't export with the crispness of the original file.
If it is important, the thin color bar just above the playhead and timeline is light purple.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Two things are screwing you up.
1. Your sequence frame size is not the same as your original media.
2. Your sequence compressor is h.264 not ProRes.
Take the original clip and drop it into a new sequence.
When FCP asks if you want to match the clip settings, click yes.
Delete that clip then go to your original sequence and copy all the clips then shift over to the new sequence and past them into the timeline.
You may have to remove any distortions (resizing) to have the clips play in full screen.
Export that edit using Export Quicktime (NOT quicktime conversion) with "current settings"  and "make self contained" selected.
Once you have that file, use Compressor to create any non ProRes deliverable.

    I'm an undergraduate student in software engineering. I worked with EE and tried to built a EJB Application. It worked. But when i connected it to database using persistence it getting error as mentioned.
    When i change my source Binary Format to jdk6 it runs without errors. What can i do for this without downgrading jdk version?

    I resolved my problem. The issue was the version of EclipseLink that I had specified in my pom.xml. Version 2.0.1 has an issue with the meta-model generation and, in fact, I wanted to be using version 2.1.1. Once I changed to 2.1.1 everything compiled correctly.
    Just make certain that you include the correct EclipseLink repository.

  • /etc/postfix/virtual_users.db is older than source file...

    /etc/postfix/virtual_users.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtual_users
    is the error I am getting. My server is working great, but my mailing lists are not working for my virtual domains. I tried deleting the entire mailing list, re-adding it, doing the fix_url to the domain, but when I send it an email I am getting:
    Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table
    Which I assume is there, due to some error in the virtual_users.db file. no?
    I have done the 'sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual' followed by 'sudo postfix reload'
    but nothing there.
    Help?

    Yes, that solved it, and I will mark it as solved, however the issue still remains that the email address (which is a mailman list) is not part of the virtual alias table. Any other user that is 'virutally hosted' has the full [email protected] as a shortname. But obviously mailman isnt entering the mailman name into the virtual users database for postfix to read.
    Any insight?

  • "Scale Images" has limited less than 180 files?

    Hi,
    I has made a Automator app that make jpeg images to a pdf.
    For decrease pdf file size, I added automator task "Scale Images" and set "To Size (pixels)" to "960".
    Then run Automator, the task seemed to be proceeding smoothly until 180 files.
    But the task has not finished after ten minutes. The status icon was still in process "Scale Images (5/6)".
    I stopped the app and try again. I have the same result. Nothing changed with the 181th jpeg file in Finder.
    Does "Scale Images" has limitation less than 180 files?

    mns579, thank you for reply.
    I also tried under Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The workflow has completed without hanging!
    The version of Scale Images on Snow Leopard is 1.2.
    In the case of Scale Images 1.3 on Lion (10.7.4), it has never completed... under same files and same workflow.
    It seems something buggy.

  • Why is the render quality less than the source files

    I am setting render quality at Best, Full 1920 x 1080.   The movie quality in either a quick time or windows media player file is terrible.  These same files export at good quality at school with the same settings.  Why am I getting poor image quality on my PC at home?

    The first image is a screen shot of the original footage taken in AE.  The second image is the exported qucktime.  The quick time is at half size and the AE is 50%.  The source files are a qucktime output of a frame by frame animation I created in AE.  I have tried rendering both interlaced and progressive.  My instructor had me drop the source files onto the "Create a new composition" icon  at the bottom of the project window so AE would interpret the sourcefiles correctly to be exported back to Final Cut Pro. The format options are set to no compression.  I don't know how to tell what codec I am rendering to.
    My instructor isn't any help since I am working on a PC.  He only knows Mac.

  • Multiple Output formats from Single Source File? (Like Squeeze)

    I'd really love to be able to batch process encodes in the following manner:
    Drop my source video file into AME CS5, select an MP4 preset, and then have it encode multiple bitrate versions while adding filename extensions [e.g. _High (700 kb/s), _Mid (550 kb/s), _Low (400 kb/s)].
    The simple answere is to drop, or duplicate, my input clip 3 times and just select 3 presets I could set up under the Hi, Mid, Lo parameters. But that's exactly what I'm trying to work around. I encode video ads for major web-video sites, and the volume is just manageable to batch process these (drag and drop large quantities, select multiple presets at once, hit Start.) To handle each ad we service would be far too time consuming, even for as simple as AME makes it to duplicate/choose new preset. (In the end, our ads jump onto our FTP via AME's FTP upload option, one of it's smartest features!)
    We have quite a bit of encoding resources here at work, but AME has been giving us the most favorable results. Other options, such as Sorenson Squeeze, let you import your source clips, then apply 2 or more presets to them, before encoding the whole batch. Is there any similar functionality in Media Encoder? (Really don't want to move our workflow into Squeeze, with it's inferior MP4 encoding.)
    Does anybody have any experience with this sort of high-volume multiple-outputs from individual source files? Any tips with scripts or Apple's "Automator" that could streamline this type of batch processing?

    Any update on this ability?  We create many in house videos that need to be encoded to 14 different
    bitrates for use with Flash Media Server as dynamic http streams.
    Currently when I am ready to export a finished sequence, I will pick my first preset and queue it in AME.  Then I duplicate that thirteen times, setting each of the new thirteen queued items to their appropriate bitrates.  Then I have to change each of the output names to be "filename_bitrate.flv".
    This process is much slower when queued in AME than if I exported each individually from PP.  I just don't have the time to manually export each version.
    I have also started noticing that some of the last few projects won't render beyond the quality of the first queued item.  Do I need to render the largest bitrate file first?
    Any indication from Adobe on the correct workflow to create multiple bitrate files to be consumed by FMS as dynamic http streams would be appreciated.
    The link above is dead.  Does anyone have an updated link to the document above?

  • Conversion Failure when combining less than 12 files

    Cleared cache on Firefox.  Files are less than 300kb each.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Stephen Howard,
    No, nothing as such!!
    Firefox is compatible with our products and services,
    I would recommend you to update your Firefox browser to the latest version ( If it isn't Updated) and then Try Clearing Cache and History of your Firefox browser, Later try Converting that file again using Firefox.
    Please let me know if you face any Problem.
    Hope that helps

  • Out put quality after DVD authoring is less than .mov file that fcp source

    Anyone know why I would be getting a notable drop in quality after i make a dvd?
    going from HF11 Cannon shot at 17 mbps into FCP. then out to compressor and using the high quality dvd setting.
    then when i play my dvd i notice for example jaggies on some objects yet if i look at the .mov file that was ignested into FCP that has almost no jaggies. is there some setting i'm missing?
    everything was set at 16:9 1080x720.
    I'm up to my pits in information overload.
    Someone with some idea or experience please help me out. thank you so much.

    Here are some of your options as you look toward HD encoding.
    Using Toast, Encore, or FCS 3 you can move toward blu-ray authoring and encoding. In Toast and FCS 3 you can make AVCHD disks which are blu-ray disks put onto single or dual-layer DVDs which is a huge cost savings. Your encoding is limited to 17 Mbps, but in h.264 that will still allow for decent quality. Encore will let you design a complete disk but it doesn't make AVCHD disks - you'll need to jump through some hoops in order to take an Encore project (but it can be done). Here's a workflow for that. As a side note this workflow is for using Final Cut Express - in FCS you have the added benefit of being able to work with 23.98 fps timelines.
    Your other option it to move toward digital outputs. You can use something like an AppleTV to playback HD content (it'll be reduced to either 960x540 @ 30 fps or 1280x720 @ 24 fps. Or you can use one of the various media streams on that market now (SlingCatch, Western Digital WDTV, etc.) Personally I'm a big fan of the WDTV from Western Digital. It's affordable (around $100) and plays back all kinds of formats in HD up to 1080p. Plus it reads from flash drives or hard drives via USB. You can encode MP4 files for these types of devices in QuickTime, export from FCP, MPEG Streamclip, Compressor, etc.

  • Video output quality worse than AppleTv 1

    Anyone else who owns an atv1 found video looks worse?
    I'm not talking about actual video playback but the video output on 2
    AppleTV1 looked great through my plasma even though it's not full HD
    1080p over hdmi on 1 scaled by the plasma consistently looked best, with crisp but smooth edges to text and GUI.
    Atv2 720p over hdmi looks consistently worse - it all looks oversharpened and over contrasty, with text in particular looking very jagged as well as the spinning timer wheel looking pixellated now
    Watching a slideshow there seemed to be visible artefacts as some images moved or scaled whereas atv1 just looked silky smooth
    Maybe the current GUI text and icons are not as smooth, maybe less antialiasing, poorer quality gpu
    Maybe my plasma downscales 720p worse than 1080p - I need to check on the full HD set in another room but first impressions are not that good
    Video playback seems strangely artificial too, almost as though the frame rate has been sped up slightly
    Weird as the set should handle 50/60Hz without issue

    So a few days in it's growing on me.
    There's definitely something different about menu graphics but actual video quality for playback is excellent though I'm not sure it's not dropping/catching up frames at times.
    I've watched some HD movie trailers and they look excellent.
    Video navigation is considerably improved over ATV1, with FF / RW actually working reasonably well when they didn't before over the same connection. Changing chapters gives immediate starts and buffering seems considerably quicker - at least some of this must be due to newer hardware.
    I don't like the top level menu much and preferred the older system but you can pretty much stay in Computers to watch own content.
    Video playlists don't work properly which is poor but it took ages to get them enabled on ATV1.
    There are many glitches but hopefully they'll get ironed out over time.

  • Quality less than par

    i know thee are many topis on quality, but everyone i read has a slightly different need than me.--
    I have a dv video that was created in FCP 5 and when i export it and burn it, it looks horrible on my tv. the text is pixelated and parts of the images are too at some points.
    here is some info
    length 4 minutes
    dv ntsc 48
    i export> quicktime> reference.
    then i let dvdsp compress it with bitrates of 4-8 at best quality...
    and i need it to look better.
    Any suggestions on output, compression settings, or dvdsp settings. anything will help.
    thanks in advance.
    tony

    the text was made in motion.
    How did you export it, as DV also? Usually Motion does a niccer job than FCP with text even in DV, but you can adjust the output alsoo. For me, H.264 does a real nice job from text in Motion and FCP
    fcp are dv/dvcpro ntsc , 100 percent render
    fcp > export> quicktime> self con/ no recompress..
    If the text is looking really bad, you may want to try exporting as --> using Quicktime Conversion and another setting (H.264 or Animation) Mark in and out point around small section with text and Pop it open using various settings and see if there are differences, usuallly text alot sharper than DV Also you can add compression markers for problem areas
    compress to mpeg2 -bit rate between 6.4 and 8- motion best- 1 pass non vbr...with audio as DOLBY 2..
    On this I would use either CBR (for text or slow Motion) or 2-Pass VBR, never really use 1 Pass VBR. Borad stroke here CBR allocates the same rate across all frames, VBR allocates more bits to the frames where they need them and less where they do not. 2 Pass puts the bits where they are needed also in the areas of the frame.
    Example - Picture a Red Circle on a Black background, not moving, for 20 seconds of a clip. Then the next 20 seconds is a tree blowing in the wind in front of a wall (Yeah kind of strange movie, isn't it?)
    CBR (lets say setting of 5) would allocate 5 to every frame, the Circle and the trees, which really does not make alot of sense since the Circle is not moving and stays the same across all 20 seconds and the trees are moving.
    If the Circle for the most part would look the same at 3, using VBR will take more bits from the Circle and allocate it to the tree section. (Remember the Compressor in VBR is looking for an average target rate.)
    1 Pass VBR will take the bits not needed for the Circle and move them to the tree clip, spread evenly acrosss the frame. Which again has an issue - the wall is not moving, the trunk of the tree is not moving. Two Pass will take more of the bits away from the stationary part of the frame (the wall and trunk) and move more of them to where the leaves are moving.
    Anyway also note that there is a cap on how much data is DVD Spec, audio and video is 10.08 Mbps (9.8 for video), I usually budget for less though, sometimes higher rates on burned DVD-Rs can cause stuttering//glitching, and also discs full to the brim also have issues on some players. I usually aim for the least rate that looks the best.

  • Source files gone Offline but still exist - Can't export sequence!

    Hi folks,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out of a predicament, please.
    I began a brief project a year or so back in FCP 3x for a friend to send to her kids. Since then it lay fallow until she brought me some new footage to add, but still have the Scratch disk intact as it was and the FCP Project files library with it. In the interim I'd upgraded the FCP Studio 3 and opened up the project in FCP 7. Strangely, some of the clips in the bin were listed as offline. I couldn't discern any pattern or reason why some clips were still linked with their raw source files and some not. In any case, I finished editing the short sequence in the timeline and went to export it to QT. I should have realized that, predictably, the exported sequence included only those segments that were not offline. I checked again and all the source clips from the camera exist, but was unable to reconnect them to the clips that access them.
    For instance, the source file might be named, 100_2347.MOV, while named in the bin, ELS - Windshield Before JLM.
    I'm notified that 20 of the clips are offline, but any attempt to reconnect fails. I'm not as savvy in FCP as I probably should be, otherwise this would not have happened, or I could reconstruct the actions that got me there, but I was fairly proficient on a Moviola and fluent on a Steenbeck about a 100 years ago, though.
    What can I do at this point? Is there any way to force a reconnect? Manually? Will I have to start a new project re-import the clips and recut the thing? I hope I won't have to edit the thing from scratch at this point. What am I forgetting (Doh)? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
    All the best,
    David

    Control-click on an offline clip in your FCP Browser, and choose Reconnect Clip from the drop down menu. In the top box of the pane that opens, you should see the clip listed as offline, and the directory where FCP was expecting to find the clip.
    Is FCP expecting to find the clip on a drive that you no longer have connected, or have renamed?
    What happens when you press the locate button?
    Don't worry that you have renamed the clip in the browser to something other than than the source file name. FCP will keep track of that.

  • Need to add leading zeros to the field if field length is less than 6

    Actually the field length is 16.

  • Video quality is less than expected when playing inside Flash

    iam using flv video. i played it back in many ways , with flv player that comes with flash ,as embedded in the time line and using external class that use  NetStream ,the video quality was less than playing the same video  outside the flash invironment using any  stand  alone video player like media player classic .
    why is that happening , did i miss some thing ?
    is there a setting  that i should do to play hd video in high quality ?
    i have tried setting stage.quality to BEST but it didn't affect the video quality ?
    any help  ?

    can't I just change the "Easy Setup" settings so it would work without degrading the input and subsequently the output? Sorry, I don't quite grasp "fixed-resolution" yet so may be asking something that doesn't have an answer.
    FCE only works with certain presets available in the Easy Setup menu. If your footage isn't one of these resolutions then FCE will conform it to the sequence you have selected, downgrading the footage in the process. Final Cut Pro gives you the option to make a sequence set to the dimensions you want it to be, without worrying about whether your image matches a preset.

    "Note: The following conditions exist in this sequence which may result in lower than intended output quality.
    The following can be adjusted using the Render Control tab in the Sequence Settings:
    - Frame Blending For Speed is disabled"
    ??? Frame blending, if anything, will lower the quality even further?
    And, if I turn ON frame blending the warning does not disappear but I get the additional warning
    "There are sections that are rendered at proxy quality"
    ***???
