Prepping SD footage for a HD project

Hello everyone,
I have some SD footage that I need to place in a HD project. I was hoping to give you the details and see how you would prep the footage.
The source of this SD footage is a PAL DVD, and it's interlaced. The project time line I'm hoping to place this footage in is DVCPRO HD 720p60 in Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC. Pillar boxing the SD footage is just fine. My eventual export format will be a Quicktime file using the DVCPRO HD 720p60 codec.
I've heard Telestream Episode handles PAL conversions very well, but I don't have access to that program. My only options are After Effects, Red Giant's Instant HD plugin, Adobe Media Encoder, Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip.
Given these resources, how would you prep this footage for this project?
Thanks for the help!
Mike Tomei

Includes Resizer 2.2
Following the acquisition of Digital Anarchy, Red Giant Software has integrated the Resizer plug-in as part of the Instant HD package. The filter offers great speed, a host of resizing controls, similar results to Instant HD and integrated deinterlacing controls, making the package an even greater value.

Can some explain 1080i and 1080p which is better for a pal project in HD

I am new with these type of codec, plus which one is better for a pal projects not NTSC. Also I want to know if there would be any problems when I take a project that is done in Pal and move it to NTSC would there be some frame problems.
thanks

I like the p footage better because it looks more like film, plays better on the computer, and looks better in web streams... as far as going to NTSC in the end, Compressor's "advanced format conversions" or Graeme Nattress' Standards converter does a fine job of PAL to NTSC... Edit in the native format you've shot though, then in the end do the standards conversion. You needn't worry about anything special here...

Best way to combine HDV & DV footage into the same project

I'm about to edit a new project that is sourced from 75% HDV footage (1440X1080) and 25% DV(720X576) footage. I'll be outputting the final result as a widescreen 16:9 DVD initially, but I also want to do a HD-BluRay later on.
What is the best way to upscale the DV footage so that it will render at the same scale as the HDV footage? My initial attempts involved setting up a 1080i25 HDV project, and importing the HDV & DV clips into that, thinking that when I did the render it would upsize the DV clips, but it doesn't seem to do it. Would I be better off creating the DVD in reverse by downscaling the HDV footage, and creating a 16:9 DV project instead.
Any suggestions gratefully received?

Tks for that advice guys. Re-Sizer looks the best for my future needs, but I probably don't have time to learn it for this project.
From the other reading I've done, if I don't use ReSizer or an equivalent, it seems that to get the best DVD quality I'd be better off creating an SD project and downscaling the HDV footage for that, rather than creating a HDV project and upscaling the SD, and then creating the DVD from that. Compression logic would tell me that upscaling the DV footage in PP and then sending it back down to SD for the DVD mastering is going to result in a lot of ****** looking original DV footage.
Because I'm under severe time-constraints regarding the DVD, I think for this one time-only, I'll do a seperate SD project for the DVD, and then redo it as a HDV project for the Blu-Ray release in a few months.
Sound logical?

Advice on best workflow for large Motion project

I am a part-time video editor/designer/motion graphics creator/etc. Normally, I work on projects with pieces no longer than 5 minutes, even if the projects themselves might be 30-40 minutes of total material--mostly video support for conferences and awards shows.
Right now I am embarking upon a mark larger project--10 30-minute segments, each of which is 100% motion graphics. They all involve a speaker against a green screen for the entire segment with the motion graphics keyed in front of and behind him.
We recorded this directly to hard drive in a studio that had a VT4 (Video Toaster) system, so the best Mac-compatible codec they could provide me for clean green-screening was full-resolution component video. This is giving me great keys, but I also have about 500 GB of raw footage.
In this project, I need to first edit all the takes from each episode into a clean 30-minute piece, and then add the motion graphics. And this is where my question comes in. It seems to me FCP is much better for editing the raw video, but that Motion is where I want to do just about everything else. I need to somehow bring the video into Motion, because I want to create "real" shadows against my background from my keyed footage.
When working with a long project, and with a full-resolution codec, what is my smartest workflow? I am trying to spend the least time possible rendering back and forth, and also avoid generating huge in-between files each step of the way. It seems that any way to approach it has plusses and minuses, so I want to hear from people who have been there which path gets me to my goal with the least hassle.

background from my keyed footage.
"Real shadows are only faked in Motion. You have many options including a simple drop shadow or a copy of your matte layer filled with a gradient and a gradient blur applied with a distortion filter so it appears to be projected onto the wall. Be sure to take the time to make this a template effect and to keyframe the shadow angle if the foreground subject moves.

Well, you've got two conflicting interests. One, you have to sync the Motion work with the video of the keyed speaker and, two, you have to edit. But it seems to me that your planning must include lots of design work up front, media you can re-use or modify slightly, text formatting that can be precomped, a large stock of effects you will apply over and over again. Do all of this stuff first.
You also want to explore working at lower rez through your planning and roughing stages. for instance, there's no reason to pull a full rez copy of your foreground into Motion if all you need to do is sync to his audio and get rough positioning. You can put him over black and export all of his clips using any medium to low rez codec at reduced frame rates and just use the Screen Blend Mode to drop him roughly onto your Motion projects.
You'll get lots of advice over the next few days. If you're posting to other Motion or motion graphics forums, please do us all a favor and return someday to all of your threads and tell us what you did and what you learned.

High fps footage in Low fps project - Conform Speed

Hi Y'all. I'm using the GoPro3 and it shoots beautiful 1080p60. I hope to preserve the integrity of this footage and make it work the most for me with slow-motion in a 30fps project.
1) What frame rate should I export my videos for web viewing, 30fps or 60 fps? Does YouTube or Vimeo have preferred frame rates, or do they take whatever file you have and force it to, say, 30fps?
(For my taste I think that 30fps looks good, i've seen some new TV shows that incorporate 60fps and it looks off to me.. TOO crisp or something, anybody else notice that / feel that way?)
2) If I bring a 60fps clip into a 30fps project, it still retains it's 60fps information correct? If I'm copy and pasting these clips between different projects with different frame rates, i'm not affecting the clip itself, am I?
3) Is there any difference between a) using the 'Conform Speed' command and b) simply retiming 60fps footage in a 30fps project to 50% retime? I wonder if there's any other magic behind the 'Conform Speed' feature that I should be aware of.
Thank you for all your help.
Lovin' FCPX!

3. So what is different between these two actions:
A) conforming 60fps footage to a 30fps project and
B) retiming 60fps footage to 50% in a 30fps project
Is conform simply a mathematical scaling function for retime based upon clip/project framerates (in which actions A and B would have the same result)?
Or do you know if there more too the conform function that i'm not anticipating?

Are jpg's okay for an HDV project?

I'm working on a 60-minute HDV project in PP3. In addition to ~50 minutes of HDV footage, I have ~150 still images.
To prepare the images before import to PP3, I do the following:
* open the RAW image from Adobe Bridge...perform edits in Adobe Camera Raw...save as PSD file
* open the PSD file in PShop...resize the image to ~1440x1080 pixels...sometimes larger if I expect to zoom in
* save it as a JPG with a quality setting between 9 and 12 so that the resulting file size is between close to 1MB...never more than 2MB.
I specifically avoid importing image files as PSD files, since they are usually 4 MB and up in size.
Comments, please.

Hunt,
Thanks for your continued help and for taking the time to be so thorough in your postings.
I read your Article with great interest. Based on your attention to image quality and the importance of preserving the original files, I can tell that we're cut from the same cloth. I also come to the video world from still photography and am sensitive to those issues.
Re: your most recent post...I agree completely about testing the quality difference between PSD and JPG files. There have been times when I have animated layers in a PSD and have needed that capability...but that was in an SD project, not an HDV project. It was a family history movie which ran over an hour, including the extra features. It was a combination of jpg stills (~200) and SD video. I had no performance issues with my PP3 configuration.
But my HDV project seems fragile by comparison. My first 25-minute HDV project took ~6 minutes to load and caused frequent (Not Responding) semi-crashes. I also learned the hard way that using MP3 audio files caused render failures and crashes (not experienced in my SD project). Replacing all audio soundtrack files with WAV files has helped...but I am not too trusting of the systems' capabilities. I have initiated a fresh project to continue work on the same production. Since this is for personal consumption (not client work), I can live with having my Europe Trip production parsed, although I hope to combine them into one HDV project at the end with a run time of ~ 1 hour.
I render the project(s) to MPEG2 files using the the Adobe Media Encoder and use a Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player to serve an HDMI signal to my 46" TV. I am very pleased (stunned, actually) with the fidelity of the images...what an improvement over seeing one's work rendered down to SD. I highly recommend it...the WD player is only $100 on Amazon...much cheaper than going Apple TV (max 720p) or with Blue Ray burning and playback. I'm happy to provide my AME settings if you're interested.
To the topic of proper scaling - maintaining circles than want to morph into ovals...
This is only a recent problem for me. In an effort to make my project as lean as possible, I took some advice offered on the Creative Cow PP forum to scale images to 1440x1080. That prompted me to use PS3 to do that scaling (using Rectangular Marquee+Crop, or simply the Crop Tool) with settings entered into the Tools' parameters. As I began to import these into my HDV project, I noticed that some images were being stretched on the horizontal axis.
That prompted me to experiment by creating a perfect circle of black on a white background in PS, trying difference Scaling and Save As options, and evaluating the results after import into PP. Frankly, that has been a mind twister. The same PSD file, when Saved as a JPG, exhibits the stretched behavior...go figure that one. That has led me to the wonderful world of PAR settings...again, experiments on that circle document have had unexpected results. At this point, I have some interest in figuring it all out, but am pressed with a Thanksgiving deadline on my Europe Trip production.
In brief, my original workflow is as follows:
* open the image (use raw converter for global adjustments and save as PSD)
* if images from the pt&shoot are used, skip the raw work but open in PS3, as below
* use PS3 to adjust for composition, lighting, etc. and save as a PSD
* make a copy to be used for the video project only
* open those copies...assess how much zooming I'm likely to want...use Image Size to downsize/resample the longest dimension accordingly
* use Save As to compress to a JPG file of ~ 1 Mb...max of 2 Mb. With possibly 200+ images in an already fragile project, I feel it's essential...and the JPG's display very well all the way through to the WD TV and the TV
In the spirit of getting this project finished, I am going to abandon the "proper scaling" efforts with 1440 parameters and go back to my original plan.
I'm tempted to write up the workflow in a bit more detail and call it "The Survival Guide for Handling Still Images in Premiere". Hunt, your Article was the first thorough discussion I could find on any forum...I'm wondering why I couldn't find it earlier...my loss. It's a shame that the Adobe User Manual and other books like the PP3 Bible don't spend much time at all on advising folks on how to handle still images. In books that are hundreds of pages long, you'd think a page or two could be devoted to it.
Thanks again for your help.

60i footage in a 24p Project?

I wanted to the 60i footage for slow motion...I thought the slow motion would look better from more frames to work with. What are some problems if I do use it?

Codec error, need footage/log notes from project.

Aright so I have CS6 and have updated my Premiere to 6.0.3. I am getting the "sequence has missing codecs" error that is plaguing CS6 users (I've been on a lot of sites/forums going over all the fixes). I opened the Adobe Help program and updated everything possible. I've uninstalled and re-installed and done the system clean as suggested on the Adobe help page multiple times. I've tried making new projects and then tried re-opening mine (apparently this worked for some people). I even made a copy of the project and tried to alter the lines of code for sequence codecs from I-Frame MPEG to AVI. I've re-booted my system after every attempt. I still cannot open the project.
I can however make a new project and import ALL of the footage. This seems strange to me but hey it works. Here is my problem. My producer (the project is a TV show pilot) left voluminous footage/log notes/color coded all of the footage for me in the original project (marking good and bad takes, separating interviews from b-roll, etc.) And I would very much like to be able to access all of those notes, she did this on her machine and I am now going to edit it on my station at home. Is there anyway I can get the footage in my new project to conform to all of those notes?
I'm close to the end of my rope here and time is running out, I'm on a pretty tight deadline and am also working another full time editing job during the day. Any help on either fixing Premiere so that I can open the original project or moving the footage notes from one project to another would be VERY APPRECIATED. Thank you for your time and help.

All footage of previous finished projects stay in story board

I movie 09.
I am a very experienced video worker with Windows and Pinnacle Studio.
When I try to use IMovie 09 all the for previous projects finished and no longer relevant stay in the story board.Does anybody know how to clear this story board such that for new projects I have no interference of this older stuff anymore and have footage only from my new project.

I now did all previous stuff away!! Happy chappie I do not know why for 4 little projects I had I found all old stuff interfering?I really did new project all the time and still had the old stuff?
So thank you for your very good answer made me happy at least.

Where to get raw footage for my students?

I am teaching a video editing class and I need to find some raw footage for them to edit. I have some projects that came with the class but they are old and not very good. One project uses footage of a bank robbery that I now learned is for a short film called, "The Heist," but we are missing some of the footage and I cannot seem to find it anywhere online (or hardly any information about it). I do not need the highest quality footage but I do need complete projects, so the students can look at all the different shots and cut them down into finished products (commercials, music videos, corporate videos, short films, TV shows, anything and everything I can find). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

I too would be interested in getting my hands on what you are looking for. And have tried. And I work on movies, tv shows, commercials as a grip... on crews....so you would think it would be fairly easy for me to find ... After more than a year of keeping my eyes peeled for stuff I still haven't been able to get material like that.
I'll mention what I've found out as it might help narrow your own search down.
First off you're not looking for "raw" footage... raw is a type of video format and when I read this thread title that's what I thought you were looking for...
There is some raw footage samples at this link ...and a few "shots" that can be edited together ( like same scene , 2 camera angles )...but nothing near as long as you are looking for....
However, the footage is like from a red camera or prosumer cameras...I only used a couple clips from red camera from this link...and didnt check out all the stuff thats there...so you'd have to check it out yourself...
http://groups.adobe.com/assets/CreativeSuite5/CS5-Demo-Assets/
AECS 5_ Demo Assets_ final zip is the one I used...
within that zip file I used a couple clips of a guy running while explosions happen on either side of him...that you can "edit"... short though. you might find more stuff to use.
what you're looking for is "scripted" material ( could be MOS ( no sound ) --and probably would be if pro stuff )
pro stuff has sound mixed separately from the camera, and slates ( clappers ) are used in each shot to sync the sound later.
If you do manage to find "dailies" from a tv show or movie, commercial, etc... that would most likely be on DVD and the quality for editing and export would not be the best cause its aleady mpeg 2 - dvd compression for viewing....
If you want the original stuff it would have to be on hard drive or tape.... which isn't going to happen.
DVD dailies given by productions to the director of photography and some others on the crews are given BACK to production in most cases, and everyone signs secrecy clauses and all that stuff, so sharing that stuff with anyone is a clear violation of not only that contract but also the copyright laws.
So getting dailies is not a very promising and likely scenario.....
With maybe one exception... if you are an accredited school and you write to the producers of a TV show you MIGHT be able to get samples of very old show dailies or dailies from a show that has been cancelled a long time ago ( no more likelihood of marketing in a secondary market ) But as you know, DVD's are still sold now for old Hawaii Five-O TV shows...so this route for you is probably going to require you and your students sign some sort of copyright stuff etc just to "play" with the stuff...
You can see how getting material like you would like to have ( and me too ! ) is very hard to come by....good luck and if you find any source please post it here as I would also like to find that sort of stuff...even if it is just DVD stuff.
good luck

Resp Person Tab is not coming in CJ20N for a particular project type

Hi All,
I am unaware of the standard SAP screen in CJ20N but we have a screen in CJ20n wherein we can assign a person / link a person this particular tab is not coming at all for a particular project type (Resp Person) rather a different tab (cust enhancement) is coming but our problem is we have a mass program which works on BDC and hence if the required screens are not there it fails.
Can someone please tell me if there is come config i can check/ maintain for this resp person tab so that it starts coming for all project types.
Regards
Anmol Pareek

Hey Sarang,
Thanks a lot, it was helpful, one more thing though, In Resp Persons tab there is something called Link Employees and my problem is that i have a mass linking program (using BDC) which cannot work if i dont see that screen in my BDC (without changing BDC). The way you have told is in OPUK/ OPUJ check for proj type and see if person responsible is hidden or not. I dont think that is what i am asking because no matter what this person responsible is hidden, but for certain project types Resp Person tab itself is not coming and that is the problem.

Pause / Resume button combination not working when set to display for "rest of project"

Good day,
I have created a set of four objects on slide2 of my project
1. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(playing) - CLICK to Pause" [this is the graphic the user sees]
2. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(paused) - CLICK to Resume" [this is the graphic the user sees]
3. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button, set to not display in project - btn_Resume
4. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button - btn_Pause
A. Script assigned to btn_Pause hides btn_Pause and the "CLICK to Pause" graphic, shows the btn_Resume and "CLICK to Resume" graphic, and pauses the project by setting the system pause variable to 1
B. Script assigned to btn_Resume hides btn_Resume and the "CLICK to Resume" graphic, shows the btn_Pause and "CLICK to Pause" graphic, and resumes the project by setting the system resume variable to 1
C. All items are set to display from the beginning of slide2 for the "rest of project"
On slide 2, the buttons hide/show and pause/resume behaviors work correctly.
On slide 3, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors (show/hide/pause) occur until a good amount of time into the slide: you can click all you want for 20-30 seconds, but nothing works except the click sound. Eventually, the behavior will work.
On slides 4 and following, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors EVER work.
If the behaviors NEVER, EVER worked, I would keep looking for what I did not have set correctly, but the correct working on the slide where they are set, delayed behavior on the next, and no behavior on the remainder of slides following has me stumped.
Captivate version 6.0.1.240
Windows 7 OS
I hope I'm missing something obvious here, and I'm more than willing to face-palm if you tell me . Otherwise, I have not been able to find any setting that makes any difference. I would REALLY rather not duplicate the buttons and scripts on every page of the project. Given the blog posts I have seen saying this method should work just fine, I'm hoping there is a side quirk somewhere that I'm missing.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Without clouding with too much explanation, this technique arose out of a need to deal with (in a different project) objects that were grouped, and wanting to deal with the groups in as simple a way as possible, allow for easy swapping of group assets, and having a few buttons do multiple things. The idea of being able to have multiple interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while appearing for the rest of the project led to trying this simple construct before trying something more complex.
You are correct, that there is a simpler solution, which we ended up using because we were not able to get two interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while displayed for the rest of the project to work properly (although that is SUPPOSED to work, as far as I understand).
Here's what we ended up doing:
A) Two smartshapes used as messaging graphics
B) A single (one) interactive smartshape used as a button
C) A conditional action to pause/resume and show/hide the appropriate messaging graphics
D) All three objects (A&B) stacked, B on top.
E) All objects set to always appear on top, and to display for rest of project.
Our hypothesis, then, is that you are not able to stack interactive objects on top of each other and then display for the rest of the project.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary, we would, gladly, take a look.
Thanks for your interest Lilybiri, and for your input.
Best regards,
Hank

High Memory utilization for a single project

Hi All,
I am facing one issue with one of the projects configured. We have endeca installed on a Windows server and there are multiple projects setup. I am observing that dgraph.exe for a single project is taking as much as 80% of memory on server. I do see that the project is receiving around 300 to 350 requests every day which is slightly higher than other projects. I am required to manually restart the project before business starts and that releases the memory. I am not able to identify whats causing this issue. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the issue?
Any suggestions will be of great help..
Thank You,
Sunil

The number of threads will not have any impact on memory usage, however, I agree with Saleh that this doesn't make any sense.
I would suggest the following:
Grab the stats page XML (http://[your server name]:[your port]/admin?op=stats).
Restart the dgraph and see how much memory is taken up on the initial load. Then, assuming the memory consumption is reasonable, issue a couple N=0, N=something queries to the index and track what's happening with how much memory is being taken up.
If you're still at a normal level, it seems like there must be some process or "bad query" that causes the memory to spike. A possible culprit might be found on the "most expensive queries" section of the stats page but it's possible it won't be there as that only tracks queries that have completed, not queries that are still in process or taking forever.
The only other explanation I can think of is a rogue "bulk export" query where a user is trying to (for example) export the entire index to excel or something like that. Does your application offer that functionality?

Hi Dina, thx for your response
I have error "Rejection Error : Auto Accouting Error"
There is Output :
Project Num Revenue(Credited) Customer Agreement Rejection Reason
DP700150.01 1 NOKIA SI( 1058) PKS-01/NSN/09 AutoAccounting Error

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
