Pro Res for AME CC 2014

I had issues with AME CC – the app would open but wouldn't start the encoding on my imported media. After some frustration I installed the AME CC 2014 app. Now I don't have any pro res or dnx presets.
Where can I find these? How come AME CC 2014 didn't automatically recognize the presets previously installed?
Thanks very much.

I just installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 this week and had the same problem, my media encoding time tripled (3 times longer).
The same sequence in Premiere Pro CC (Old Media Encoder ) still encoded at its normal fast speed.
Only one of my eight cores was running during encoding in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
After making the registry changes (below) all eight cores were running and Premiere Pro CC 2014 Encoder was back to normal speed.

After you have read the Adobe Forum link above, go to this link below.
This registry change is for Windows 7, I'm not sure about Windows 8
The registry link may be different but you can still look.
Than call Adobe and have their tech go to this link below.
Than have them suggest what to do.
I did call Adobe back and told them it fixed my problem and they were appreciative and said they would pass it on to all their techs.

Just a note,
I was in touch with Adobe earlier this week with this same problem.
I gave them control of my computer (from India) and after an hour the tech concluded it must be my video card causing the problem.
I am using a Nvidia GTX 560Ti, which is not a certified card. I preformed the card hack.
After getting off the phone with them I did some additional test and found that my old AME rendered my sequences with all eight cores.
The new AME CC 2014 was only using one core.
This registry change above keeps all the cores running.
After I made the change all the cores were running during encoding and the speed was back to normal.
Hope this helps,

  • AME CC 2014 Rendering with only One Core

    This seems to have just begun recently (within the past month) where AME CC 2014 is only using 1 core (out of 12) to render video. No, this is not the CPU Parking issue - I have made the regedit tweaks and also changed my Power option to Performance, all with no difference in AME. Premiere Pro CC 2014 renders the same video just fine using all 12 cores, so it seems this problem lies not with Windows software, nor Premiere Pro, but just AME CC 2014. Was there a recent AME update that might have included this bug?
    Adobe, please look into this and resolve it ASAP. Not being able to queue up video renders is killing my productivity.

  • How do i export to pro res?

    Hi All,
    I'm a complete novice with FCPX and have basically just figured it out as i go along. I honestly don't understand all this transcoding / compression stuff. I import media optimized and go from there.
    I usually just use the share to vimeo button or share master file.
    Anyway, i had to make a bunch of videos for someone last week and i've delevered all the .mov files. They have now asked for them in pro res for higher quality.
    I can't figure out how to do this, and i've read a ton of threads / forums and watched some videos but they're all about compression/transcoding.
    I'm on a real time crunch so kind of losing my mind about this.
    Is it even possible to export as pro res? Does that even exist as an action?
    If so, can anyone please talk me through in idiot terms how to make this happen?
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    Storme

    You should be prepared, depending on the resolution and lenght of the original media, for files that might challenge any storage transfer device other than a disk drive.

  • How can I get the Apple Pro Res codecs for AME?

    Just wondering if anyone can give me a walkthrough on how to get the Pro Res codecs recognized in AME, haven't had any luck.

    Nevermind.  Found this and it worked perfectly: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5411

  • Duplicating a portion of Pro Res media for use in another project

    I'm working on a compilation video which is drawing from many different interviews.   I need to duplicate certain sections of 1080p 29.97 Pro Res timelines and then bring them into a new FCP 7.0.3 project. 
    The clips will be pulled from many different external drives.  And I can't connect all these drives together at the same time.
    So my question is...when I am on the FCP timeline of one of these older projects, how do I best copy a section of it while keeping it in Pro Res and hopefully not having to recompress it?   I don't want to go back to the AVCHD camera files that it was generated from.
    Would I "Send to Compressor" right off the timeline and use one of the Pro Res settings?  Same as source settings, etc.
    Or would I "Export as a Quicktime" movie off the timeline?  Settings info?
    I am trying to preserve the image quality but at the same time this will not be for broadcast.   It's for a non-profit's website. 
    Any advice on this would be very much appreciated...
    Thanks,
    John

    If you are trying to Media Manage selections from a sequence that span multiple clips, then create a new sequence and copy and paste all the selected parts into the new sequence so that it contains only the selected sections of content you want to copy and consolidate.
    Then, with that new sequence selected, open the Media Manager and make sure that Include Master Clips outside selection and Include Affiliate Clips outside selection are unchecked, and the Delete Unused Media from Duplicated Items is checked.
    Unless you are leaving room for handles in your selection process,  check Use Handles and dial in a duration, so that your clips have some padding.

  • HQ vs standard pro res 422 for capture Help!

    This is my last question (I think).
    Would standard printed out on hdsr essentially look the same in this situation that I shouldn't bother with the HQ?
    A gentleman made a comment that I don't need HQ for capture but I am reading a lot of commentary on this.
    My feature film has a lot of effects, it is prepared for conversion from a 10bit digibeta sd file that was rendered out from an sd file.
    My end delivery is going to be cable broadcast and hdsr master, (though I know just for hdcam standard would be ok).
    I read different comments on here and on the web...and some of it comments if your end goal is broadcast you should have an HQ file if it comes from a 10-bit source and as well that more compression will happen down the road and taking that into consideration, as I'll be doing another render, I'd like this verified.
    And NOWHERE does it differentiate if that source is the file it's being converted from or the original footage it came from.
    And I will be effecting this last capture pro res file before another render to a final QT.
    I just want verification that standard will be ok as the individual who commented that it is I hadn't stated for sure what my delivery and end use would be and may have assumed I'd only be concerned with hdcam.
    Thanks.

    Nobody calls me a gentleman and gets away with it!
    There are many resources to heop you decide on a ProRes codec appropriate for your task. However, youmust weigh the processing cost of inadequate hardware against the possibly indiscernible difference in the HUGE difference in file sizes and heavy lifting.

    ProRes 422 (HQ)
    Visually lossless - highest-quality professional HD video that a (single-link) HD-SDI signal can carry.
    Supports full-width, 4:2:2 video sources at 10-bit pixel depths, while retaining its visually lossless characteristic through many generations of decoding and re-encoding.
    Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) can be used both as an intermediate codec to accelerate workflows for complex, compressed video sources and as an affordable, high-performance alternative to uncompressed 4:2:2 video.
    Has some subsampling of chroma, but retains very high quality.
    Supports 4:2:2 sources like DCVPRO HD, AVC-Intra,/100, XDCAM HD422/50.
    Data rate about 220 Mbps.
    ProRes 422
    Visually lossless, full-width 10-bit, 4:2:2 at lower data rate than ProRes (HQ)
    Offers better multi-stream RT editing performance. For most video applications, 422 is "good enough."
    Data rate about 147 Mbps
    The comparison in data density between HQ and vanilla 422 is 220/147.
    If you have the chops to KNOW you need to maintain this kind of image integrity then you have the hardware to accommodate the chore. If you have the chops but not the rig, forget it, you can't afford the time. If you have the rig but not the knowledge, forget it, you can't realize the benefits. It's a pretty simple decision matrix and, while you will get some recommendations, you're the only one who can pull this trigger. It's going to cost you time or money or both.
    Types of Apple ProRes Codecs
    The Apple ProRes format comes in five versions: Apple ProRes 4444, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (LT), and Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy). The following list describes the features of each version. For a complete comparison of the relative data rates of the Apple ProRes codecs, see Apple ProRes Format Specifications.
    Apple ProRes 4444 
    The Apple ProRes 4444 codec offers the utmost possible quality for 4:4:4 sources and for workflows involving alpha channels. It includes the following features:
    Full-resolution, mastering-quality 4:4:4:4 RGBA color (an online-quality codec for editing and finishing 4:4:4 material, such as that originating from Sony HDCAM SR or digital cinema cameras such as RED ONE, Thomson Viper FilmStream, and Panavision Genesis cameras). The R, G, and B channels are lightly compressed, with an emphasis on being perceptually indistinguishable from the original material.
    Lossless alpha channel with real-time playback
    High-quality solution for storing and exchanging motion graphics and composites
    For 4:4:4 sources, a data rate that is roughly 50 percent higher than the data rate of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    Direct encoding of, and decoding to, RGB pixel formats
    Support for any resolution, including SD, HD, 2K, 4K, and other resolutions
    A Gamma Correction setting in the codec’s advanced compression settings pane, which allows you to disable the 1.8 to 2.2 gamma adjustment that can occur if RGB material at 2.2 gamma is misinterpreted as 1.8. This setting is also available with the Apple ProRes 422 codec.
    Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)The Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec offers the utmost possible quality for 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 sources (without an alpha channel) and provides the following:
    Target data rate of approximately 220 Mbps (1920 x 1080 at 60i)
    Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422
    Apple ProRes 422The Apple ProRes 422 codec provides the following:
    Target data rate of approximately 145 Mbps (1920 x 1080 at 60i)
    Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (LT)
    Apple ProRes 422 (LT)The Apple ProRes 422 (LT) codec provides the following:
    Roughly 70 percent of the data rate of Apple ProRes 422 (thus, smaller file sizes than Apple ProRes 422)
    Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)

  • Quicktime PRO-RES 422 Files... What is the best format for output in Adobe Premier?

    I have recently enrolled on a university film makers course and up until this point i have been a Windows user. At the university everyone uses Final Cut Pro as this seems to be the standard software, at least at my level. My question is this; I have a bunch of Quicktime Pro-Res 422 files and i was wondering what would be the best Adobe Premier preset to export it as, In order to achieve the best quality possible?

    You're going to have to clarify this a bit more. Do you have ProRes files you want to edit with in Premiere? If so, you don't need to convert them--as long as you have QT installed, you can edit them, even on a PC.
    Or are you saying that you've already edited, and now you want to do a final export for viewing, or for editing elsewhere?

  • CS6 Export Settings for Apple Pro Res 422 HQ

    My project is 1920 x 1080 (1.0) 23.976 fps, progressive and my special effects guy is asking for the project to be rendered out to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ. I can not find an export setting that offers 23.976 fps and is progressive. I have offered to give him an "XML" file but he is insistant. What can I do?

    I believe you will only find this option on a Mac that has ProRes installed from some other application, like QuickTime Pro or Final Cut.

  • Pro Res or Uncompressed for SD Widescreen - Master Uncompressed File

    I have a client on the West Coast needing an uncompressed version of the edit in QuickTime.  I noticed with the Intermediate Codec we get into the 300 GB + range.  Would a Pro Res alternative be accepted by other software (iMovie, etc.) or are we stuck with the larger option?

    I'm reminded of the scene with Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men"
    Substitute "uncompressed" for "truth"
    Client: Give me the uncompressed!
    You: Uncompressed! Uncompressed!! You can't handle the uncompressed! You don't want the uncompressed. The uncompressed will bring your world down around your knees and show you what a fraud you ALL are.
    If they are talking iMovie/iDVD, they REALLY can't handle uncompressed.  (Heck, they can't handle ProRes either - which is still far far away from uncompressed...) As you seemed to have figured out, AIC is a good option.

  • SSD or HHD for working on pro res

    I'm using Final cut pro and my main disk is an SSD (256 GB). I was thinking about getting an external SSD and then dropping my pro-res files off onto that and then work off the External SSD. Would a SSD give me any benefits over say an external USB 3.0 (7200 rpm) drive?

    I don't like to disagree with guys whose opinions I normally agree with, but I've been studying and dealing with this issue for a decade and concluded long ago that disk speed is absolutely a major component in encoding time.
    My first data was from tests (circa 2004) with a G4 dualie where MPEG-2 encoding sped up approx. 25% when the output drive was changed from a FW400 external (≈ 30MB/s) to a small Ultra160 RAID 0 (≈ 80MB/s.) Since then I've seen the same scenario prove itself time and time again.
    Without question the greatest determinant is processor speed, so Michael's comments on Qmaster are spot on. The greater the aggregate processor speed, the more likely the system is to become "I/O bound" particularly on the output side. Therefore, the degree of speed improvement will hinge on the relative speeds of the processor and disk (or more likely, disk array.)  In the same light, if you are rendering on a network using Qmaster, the input disk needs to be on the system that is driving Qmaster to prevent Compressor from caching the entire source prior to beginning compression.
    Another consideration is the nature of the encode/conversion. The above opinion is based largely on primarily on MPEG-2 encoding. Some codecs seem to have difficulty loading the processor array effectively and are less likely to I/O bind, so the entire conversion is slower and less likely to respond to faster target drives. Monitoring CPU usage in  Activity Monitor will tell you if this is the case.
    On small (non-Mac Pro) systems where the architecture is more restrictive, it's likely that a fast array on Thunderbolt would be the best solution. The question I don't have an answer to is: what speed best matches the CPU given the system bottlenecks prior to the T-bolt interface.

  • Apple Pro Res use in PRemiere for expanded color specturm

    I heard that using Apple Pro Res in Premiere and AE is good for being able to use the expanded color specturm of the clips.  Is this true and and necessary.
    Thanks
    On a Mac, CS5.5 , os 10.6.8

    Perform the following test:
    1. Transcode your footage into ProRes (measure transcoding time) and import both of them into AE
    2. Set project to 32 bit colour space and tick Linearize Working Space checkbox
    3. Drop both source footage and the transcoded one into a composition and set upper layer blending mode to 'Difference' - you'll notice artifacts, which indicate there are some data shift (i.e. loss in quality) happened during transcodung (visually unnoticeable though; uncheck Linearize Working Space, and you'll get solid black screen)
    4. Temporarily disable eyeball for your transcoded footage layer, pull a key or/and apply some significant colour correction and/or a retiming effect onto your source footage. Measure the time for rendering RAM preview.
    5. Copy effects and paste them onto your transcoded footage, enable the layer eyeball - you'll notice artifacts, probably, worser than you had had before you started your grading work.
    6. Disable your source footage layer eyeball and measure how much does it take to render RAM preview for your graded transcoded footage. In my particular spec the difference between rendering RAM preview for graded AVCHD source footage and the transcoded one is about 16%.
    7. Render lossless (or about lossless) intermediates out of your graded source footage and the transcoded one in turn, measure the render time. In my particular spec the difference between a single render is about 25-30%. If I take into account time for transcoding, the difference decreases to about 16%. Bear in mind that influence of transcoding time diminishes if one needs more than a single render.
    8. Reimport your rendered intermediates into AE project and drop them into the same composition above existing layers. Set blending modes of both layers to 'Difference'.
    9. Enable eyeballs just for your rendered intermediates layers - you'll notice artifacts.
    10. Now compare like with like: enable eyeballs of your graded source footage and the intermediate rendered out of your graded source footage, then disable them and enable eyeballs of graded transcoded footage and the intermediate rendered out of it - you'll probably notice similar slite artifacts in both cases.
    What does all the above mean?
    1. Transcoding a source footage doesn't give one any advantages in terms of quality for colour grading. Resulting quality is consistent in both cases, but some quality loss happen during transcoding.
    2. Transcoding yields savings on render time, which may be important in some workflows.

  • Specs for cutting in Pro Res 422 HQ

    What sort of system specs do I need to edit in Pro Res 422 HQ with decent non-nightmarish results? I'm getting a FW800 G-Raid drive loaded with a large (80 minute) Quicktime file in HD, Pro Res 422HQ. I'm running a 2.8ghz Quad Intel, with 8gb of memory. I also have a CalDigit S2VR Duo that I can move the footage over to if necessary. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks

    For having just thrown yourself off a bridge, your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are impeccable.
    You are correct. A ProRes sequence will not go to HDV. You must place your ProRes sequence into a new HDV sequence, render/conform, and print that to HDV tape.
    When you're going out via firewire, you pretty much have to match your sequence settings to your deck settings, DV>DV, HDV>HDV. Hardware capture cards/boxes by AJA & Blackmagic can up/down/cross convert on the fly, but not a direct firewire connection.
    So, use your ProRes sequence to create the DVD, and create an HDV sequence to archive it to a tape.
    And stop throwing yourself off bridges.

  • Apple Pro RES and DVD Studio Pro    for burning DVDS

    I have a FCP file, shot in HD, 5.5 min long, in apple pro res. It needs to be in a format to send to various people to play on a commercial DVD player as well on apple and pc computers. So far I have made a H264, as well as a MPEG 2 on a "-" dvd and both will play only on my mac computer, not on a playstation 3, nor a pc, nor a commercial DVD player. What should I do?

    so sorry I sounded curt....must be the heat.
    I have zero experience. Someone was helping me compress my final cut pro movie which was apple pro res, then , in compressor we tried H.264, then MPEG 2, using "-", but neither of these would play on anything other than my mac.
    I need them to be in a format that I can send to people who may be using a pc, mac or commericial DVD player.
    It's very nice of you to reply....

  • Are there certain system requirements for Pro Res Rendering?

    Wondering if there has to be some kind of codec? or possible system capability to render out in Pro Res 4444 @ 29.97fps?
    Thoughts?

    Huh, that is odd. Doesn't even say you ain't got it ... although at this point I would check on how to check if you're got ProRes installed on your system. A question ... do you have Quicktime as the "Pro" (paid) version or simply the free version?
