Presets for compressor

So is there a place to be able to dowlaod presets for compressor. Presets for what you are putting it on... Without the guessing game...

The presets in Compressor is where you start and then you need to tweak as apporiate for the footage and needs. There is always the "guessing" game, there is no one setting that works everytime unfortunately, though they get you in the ballpark. Which part is a guessing game? There may be something to reduce the guesswork you are encountering

You have to add the Service Offerings and the Request Offerings in the Catalog Group. Nesting doesn't work because Service Offerings and Request Offerings are different types of objects.
This offers the option the manage the access to Service Offerings and Request Offerings very granular if needed. For instance you can control access to a Service Offering in one Catalog Group related to one user role (A) and use two additional Catalog Groups
with different Request Offerings related to other user roles (B) and (C). Result will lead to:
User in Role A and B -> Can see Service Offerings A containing Request Offerings B
User in Role A and C -> Can see Service Offerings A containing Request Offerings C
User in Role A, B and C -> Can see Service Offerings A containing Request Offerings B and C
User in Role A only -> Don's see anything because of the missing permission on any Request Offering. So the "empty" Service Request won't show up in the portal.
Hope his helps.

Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

Widescreen Format custom preset in Compressor 4?

I used to do HD (16X9) format only, but ever since I saw other views, especially really cool looking cinematic music videos carrying the widescreen format I've been wanting to apply that to my videos. Currently my only known solution to this is simply making an image that fits exactly on my frame with two black bars to letter box my 16X9 videos in FCPX. I tried making a custom preset in Compressor 4 with the dimension of the video set to 1920X800 which is exactly 2.40X1 in aspect ratio. I also turned the pixel aspect ratio to sqauare but the results still looked weird. The video was simply squished down with a large black bar at the top and the dimension of the video was still 1920*1080.
Enough with the rubbish (I'm not good at explaining things). Does anyone know how to formuate a custom preset in Compressor 4 so that when I export from FCPX using Compressor presets the file would be natively 1920*800 and that the excess pixels are trimmed away automatically? Or is there an option in FCPX itself that allows me to set the aspect ratio of my video to widescreen in the first place?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to export a clip with a black JPEG file from MPEG Steamclip at 1920*800 24fp, but when I put it in my timeline in FCPX the video option window droped down saying that the format is not recognised and forced me to use the presets the came with it. Any other solution?
Thanks

Soundbooth CS5: Effects and/or rack presets for 5.1 audio?

Hi,
Are there any Soundbooth CS5 effects and/or rack presets (either Adobe or third-party) for working with 5.1 audio? I have effects and presets for both mono and stereo, but none show up for 5.1 files.
Best,
Chris

Hi Shawn,
I understand, but at least with stereo files I can add an EQ, compressor, etc. that applies to all (both) channels. Is there not a similar capability for 5.1 files? I don't so much need per-channel editing (I can always split the channels out to separate files in that case), but basic EQ/compression is really what I'm looking for.
Best,
Chris

Which --Project Properties--Preset for 1920x1080 HDV 1080p30 footage?

Hi,
New to the HD world and have to make lower third for my footage. My media frame size is 1920x1080 and the compressor is HDV 1080p30. (I shot it progressive because it is for the web)
I don't see a preset for HDV 1080p30? Just presets for (HDV 1080i60), (HDV 1080i50), and (HDV 1080p24). Where is the preset for HDV 1080p30 and/or which one should I use to make my lower third over the footage?
Thanks,
-marco

Motion Project presets are not codec specific, they just set up the project size, aspect ratio, field order and frame rate.
Pick one that matches your footage, or you can use "import as project" to create a project based on the footage you import.

Mountain Lion Breaks Apple TV with 5.1 Surround Presets in Compressor

First let me preface that I am working with two different systems and have recreated the issue on both of them- 2009 13" MBP and a 2011 Mac Mini Server. The issue is caused by Mountain Lion (I know, shouldn't update production systems and all but it happened so I thought I'd give folks a heads up).
In Lion, if I used any of the Apple TV presets in Compressor and ticked the "Include 5.1 Dolby" check box, viola I had my 5.1 surround. However, when I attempt this in Mountain Lion, the 5.1 audio is created but never muxed into the final m4v that is created. I have even gone back to old projects that worked fine with this preset and still cannot create a m4v with 5.1 audio. To test this, my wife's MBP was still on Lion as of yesterday so I grabbed a test file and exported to Apple TV 3rd gen with 5.1 and it worked. I upgraded the system to ML and used the exact same file and this time it only created an m4v with stereo AAC and no secondary track.
Also, exporting directly from FCPX does not work either.
As a workaround, creating a standalone 5.1 mix is possible (as I learned when I needed to create a DVD as well for this project) but then I would have to use another program to mux that together with the m4v, which is not as convenient as just using the preset.
I have submitted this as a bug to Apple but I encourage anyone experiencing this issue to do the same.

Overrider......Just drag and drop your movies on iTunes from the folder you designate as the output for handbrake. iTunes does a little processing of the movie during the copying (check the size using
Get Ifo" on the files to see the decreased file size in iTunes.
If you don't want to buy FCP or FCPX try just ripping with MakeMKV (free) I use it for DVD and Blu-Ray... very intuitive, very powerful. If the movie has a DTS soundtrack, for $10.00 AUNSoft's MKV Convertor does a stellar job. final processing either way is free with Handbrake,, using the applicable preset as you all note. The only trick is Do Not designate the AC3 track with a checkmark in Subler, Meta-x or whatever you use. It will be a passthrough that you will see.
No complicated software needed.. very simple. I have over 4TB of HD movies with 5.1 sound streaming to my ATV done this way. Don't overthink it... see my earlier post for movies already done... Subler can open and let you fix these also if you need to.

Preset for appletv?

Hi Folks,
I'm on FCP 5.1.4 with its latest version of compressor.
Am I missing something or is there no Appletv preset?
I realize I can go to quicktime conversion and choose the atv preset, but I can't alter any of the settings. I'd like to tweak the compression settings like I can in handbrake (unfortunately, HB can not take fcp files with chapters so that's not the greatest solution).
I'm transferring my own home movies for the ATV.
Currently, if i don't use the QT conversion method, i created a preset in compressor by tweaking the ipod preset.
Is this the way to go?
Cheers,
Keebler
Ps. my footage is straight NTSC 4:3. I'm keeping it without letterbox b/c most tvs should automatically output the proper size?

Just looked in Adobe Media Encoder CS6 and there is no specific "Apple TV 2" preset, just "Apple TV". However, there are several frame sizes and frame rates. If you can tell me what sizing and frame rate, maybe I can paste the preset settings in here and you can duplicate on your end then? For instance "720p 29.97" ?
Thanks

Presets from Compressor 3 Missing after Install.

Anyone noticed and resolved the issue of missing presets after upgrading to Cmopressor 4. I haven't looked at all of them, but I don't have the DVD presets I had before. This goes right in line with Apple's DVD drive removal from new machines, but I still need some. I just want all the presets I had in version 3 to version 4.

You can move your Custom Presets from Compressor 3.5 to 4 easily.
The Apple presets aren't so easy, I've been working on this awhile.
My suggestion is to go into Compressor 3.5, save those presets as Custom presets, and follow the instructions for moving Customs to Compressor 4.

Best Filter or Preset for Music Performance

Hey guys,
I'm not the best (read here, nearly the worst) audio guy out there, so I was hoping someone could give me some quick advice. I have a video recording of a live band. They gave me an audio recording to match up with it (.wav), and I notice that some parts are fairly quiet, but when I raise the gain in FCP, I'm hitting the 0dB for louder beats or notes. I'm looking for a decent preset and what I should tweak on it if anything to dial in my sound. I was thinking of just a limiter, but I know a lot of you guys could have much more educated advice for me on this.
Thanks,
Lawrence

Thanks. Should I use any of the presets for the compressor? I notice a lot of presets, and I've really just picked one for now (hard base, since some of the base notes seem to really blow up the levels).

Less oppertunities for compressors in Logic Express compared to Logic Pro?

Hi there,
I'm running on L-Express also. I had a conversation with a guy this afternoon who is running Protools.
We've tried to put some compressors on my created track. In protools he could let a compressor follow the beat of the bass drum and put that effect on, for instance, the hi hat so that you could create a nice pumping sound. We've tried to look for it in Logic Express but unfortunatly we couln't find it.
Is this also a difference between Logic Express and Logic Pro?
grtz,
Lewis

Hey Lewis,
I believe you must be talking about a multi band compressor, that you can use High or low pass filters, the one in logic Le isn't, you just have one in AU from the system.
Logic Pro has multi band compressor and then some!
Anyway, Logic Le compressor has some presets that can help you click on arrow tool (in the compressor) and you have presets for Vocal, Instruments,Drums ie: Kick drum - Double punch.
Give it a go.
cheers,
Jorge

I am trying to determine the new project preset for multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders, main shot is DV (tape) (720x480), b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480), additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080). Film is from a wedding, DV contain

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

VDRAVES
Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.

Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
Thanks!
FF

The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
Thanks!
Matt

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
Thanks for the help!
FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.
