Project and Render settings using multiple video formats

Hello someone amazing who is willing to help!
I shoot with 2 quadcopters - DJI Phantom Vision 2 + (1080p, 30fps, square) and the DJI Inspire 1 (4Kp, 30fps, square).
I also shoot with a Canon Vixia HF11 (1080i, 30fps,square)
I'm getting the WORST results when I render out my files. I'd like to be able to finish with a file size that is manageable on the web with superior quality (like everyone else in the world). My final video is only about 1:15 in length and I'm getting a very blocky/artifacty result.
Currently using:
H.264
1920:1080
Progressive
Square 1.0
NTSC
Main 4.1
Render at Maximum Depth: checked
VBR 2 pass
Target 20Mbps
Max 20Mbps
Key Frame Distance: 1
Use Maximum Render Quality: checked
Use Frame Blending: Checked
Use Previews: Checked

You can't. It is either HD or SD. When using SD you lose the advantage of HD.

  • PE 12 Sluggish using multiple video formats

    Hi,
    Been using Premiere Elements 12 for about a year. Usually not too many issues, and when I've had them, someone here in the forum is nice enough to help me out. Been creating an online interview project with a friend for YouTube. Lately, even with no budget, we're getting a tad more sophisticated technically, I'm using video files from various sources that aren't in the same format. I'm having problems with video freezing up while audio is running fine. For the episode I finished last night, there are files from a Canon DSLR in .mov format 1920x1080 24fps, from my Samsung S4 in .mp4 format 1920x1080 23fps (can that be right?), some from an old Alesis Videotrack (for shaky handheld) in .mp4 format 640x480 30fps, and files from Skype in .mp4 format 1280x720 29fps. (Evaer makes an app that records vid & audio to two separate files from both computers during a Skype conversation.Very cool) The PE 12 file is, I believe, 720 24fps that I'm importing all this to. So I'm just wondering if all this mixing and matching is the root of my problem. End up rendering during editing constantly but it doesn't last that long. When rendered down to a final file, it's just fine playing in Windows Media Player. Should I be converting the files to the same format somehow before importing to PE? The final video is 1280x720, 24 fps.
    Any help will be GREATLY appreciated,
    George

  • I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

    To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
    However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

    I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
    The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
    Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

  • How to use multiple videos in template

    I'm using the Directions HD template in Motion 3 and trying to figure out how to use more than one drop zone. When I drop a video into the first drop zone, it appears in all drop zones. How can I use multiple videos?

    Step 1: Find the Drop Zone layer (inside the Video group/folder) and select the Custom behavior and type Command - K (Convert to Keyframes from the Object menu)
    Step 2: Duplicate the Drop Zone the number of times you want to be able to change media.
    Step 3: For Each drop zone, move the playhead to the position you need to set an In Point; then do the Out Points... I recommend overlapping the Outs and Ins and crossfading using opacity keyframes. [For some of these, this will mean a 1 or 2 frame crossfade... or pick your points for straight cuts. ]
    Step 4: Select all the Drop Zones and create a group (Command-Shift-G).
    Step 5: Select the "Clone Layer" (it will be unchecked in the Layers List inside the Video group), and drag the newly created group of drop zones into the  Source well.
    You can mix up the way the background (emitted copy) video plays by clicking the Random Seed button at the buttom of the Emitter > Particle Cell inspector.

  • Multiple video formats in one feed?

    My podcast (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=348713189) has videos formatted for Apple TV, but that means subscribers can't load it on their iPods. Is there a way to host multiple video formats in one feed?
    Feed url = http://buzz.snow.com/media/lindseyisepic.xml

    The 'enclosures' in a feed don't all have to be the same format, so you could certainly mix differently formatted episodes.
    But note that different versions have to appear as different episodes (even if it's the same content) - you can't have two 'enclosure' tags within one 'item' tag - the second will be ignored.
    Another point is that if you do two versions of every episode you are forcing subscribers to download both versions, so there is a lot of redundant downloading going on. It might be better to make two different podcasts, one with the Apple TV versions and one with the iPod version: note that if you do this the titles must be different (so you could add the media type in the title) and of course the second version must be submitted as a new podcast. Once done, iPod users wouldn't have to download all the Apple TV files and vice versa.

  • Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

    Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

    hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
    hope this helps!!
    let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
    simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time. 

  • Project Settings for Multiple Video Files?

    In PRE 8, I am attempting my first HD project. I have several different types of video files that friends sent me from a sports event, the video files are AVCHD (1920?), QT Movie (1280x720), and QT Movie (1920x1088). When I create a new project, what PROJECT SETTINGS should I select? I am not sure what to select since I am using different video file formats. The video files are currently on my hard drive.
    I also have lots of pix (jpg) from different cameras, some are as large as 5184x3456. For the picture files, should I bulk process them through PSE to resize them? If so, what should  the maximum size be for the HD project?
    Thank you in advance.
    Howard

    Hi Steve - in the list of NTSC project presets, there is not a "DSLR" selection; there is "AVCHD", "DV", "Hard Disk/Flash", and "HDV". Am I missing something?
    As you suggested, I used the "AVCHD 1920x1080" preset for the Vixia files. I imported one 9-second file in the project as a test and the video is choppy after rendering. I have a new HP computer with an I7-930 quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, and an ATI HD 5770 graphics card so I think there is enough cycles to process the video files. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for answering my questions on a Sunday.

  • How to use different video formats in the one timeline?

    Hi everyone,
    So I am in the middle of stringing together a rough cut for a surf flick/documentary shot in some remote Indonesian islands…
    Things so far are going well, but I am slightly confused regarding the best way to tackle a slight issue (hopefully slight!) of video format compatibility.
    The main shooting for the film was done with .mov video format and this has been imported/captured into final cut pro 7 using the correct settings, which has now formed the basis for my rough cut.
    However, I did a lot of filming with some other cameras (underwater, POV etc) and so also have some crucial footage in different formats that to my knowledge will not be compatible with the timeline that I have already created in FCP.
    The files are as following:
    AVI
    MOD
    MP4
    I am assuming the best way to go about things is convert all these different files into a compatible form that I can then drop straight into my existing timeline.
    Unfortunately, I am just beginning to learn the more techy aspects of editing and I don’t have the first idea of how to go about doing this…?
    Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated…
    Thanks in advance,
    m

    Although there are kinds of standard workflows for best quality in final product, it helps to know a bit more about your setup... what is your primary format? Without knowing that, the best way forward is to convert all of your footage to Apple ProRes. Especially the MP4 stuff. There are different ways about doing that, but I personally recommend Compressor. This can take some time depending on the amount and lengths of your shots, but it is well worth the process.
    Make sure you choose 48k / 16bit AIF for all of your shots that have audio. If some of your footage is 1080p and some is 720p, I personally leave that alone because when you have this type of a difference in footage, I like to set my sequence to 720p giving me the option to move or pan the 1080p clips inside of the 720p sequence. Final Cut Pro is very good at handling that difference.
    Hope the edit goes well; sounds like a nice project!

  • Maintain multiple video formats as versions

    I have a large Aperture library of personal photos and videos from a history of digital cameras going back over 10 years.  The videos are in a number of formats ranging from AVI, MPEG, MP4 and MOV. 
    I have had issues syncing videos to our iPhones/iPad through iTunes using the Aperture library as the sync source due to the video format not being supported (there are a number of discussions on this forum that talk about this error).  From what I can gather, iTunes will only sync certain supported video formats, requiring the videos to be converted accordingly. The majority of my videos fall into this category.
    I want to try keep all my videos in their raw format and was thinking maybe I can create iTunes friendly versions of the videos (mp4 or m4v etc) and store them in Aperture as versions of the orginal videos.  I have looked at a few articles that mention videos can be externally edited (http://aperture.maccreate.com/2011/03/14/setting-mpeg-streamclip-as-your-externa l-video-editor-aperture-3/) and saved back into Aperture as versions, however I have not been able to get this to work correctly and am usually prompted upon saving to pick a folder location for the new version.  I'm not sure how this works in a managed Aperture library.
    Has anyone had any experience with this or can offer any solutions?
    I was considering writing a plugin or AppleScript to go through my library and do this automatically, however I'm not too sure how feasible the option of hosting multiple video files linked back to one master is.
    Thoughts or suggestions welcome.

    To alleviate confusion, a "version" in Aperture world is a master image that has had changes applied to it in Aperture. Aperture gives you a thumbnail or preview of the master using the changes contained in the version file.
    What you want to do cannot be done by using versions, because video is not edited in Aperture. That is why each time you edit it with an outside editor, it is asking to import as a new Master, and thus, where you would like to store it. In a managed  library, master images are stored in the Aperture library along with everything else. In a referenced library, the masters are stored wherever you like and only versions ("changes") and preview files are stored in the library.
    The answer to your question is to use stacks. Import all your converted videos and stack them with the originals. Use the "friendly" version as the stack pick. It should be seen by other programs. When you want that original "unfriendly" file, its in the stack. This will double all your videos though...you won't have versions, you will have two masters.
    There is no need to write an applescript. View all your picturs, then use the magnifying glass tool in the top right corner of the browser view. Click on "Add rule", go to file type, and pick movies.  Or, conversley, you could display everything that is not an image. Then you can see all your videos and drag them to an album. You could also make a smart album that contains all your videos by adding the same rule. I highlighted my movies in purple using the metadata editor. Much faster to spot them.
    My personal point of view is that doubling your videos will make your library much larger unless you are using referenced masters. If you are using a managed library, you could make the original, unsharable videos referenced once they are stacked. Aperture would know where they are, but not keep them in the library. If you are unfamiliar with referenced masters, I would either learn about them or use the method below.
    I don't see much point in even keeping videos in formats that cannot be shared, edited, or viewed by the programs you want, unless its solely for organizational purposes or you are mixing work and life. I would just convert all the movies, leave the originals in an untouched folder, then import the converted ones I am actually going to share and watch into Aperture.  But I can easily imagine reasons to use the stacks method as well.
    Good luck, hope that all made sense.

  • New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

    Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
    A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
    I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
    I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
    I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
    Hope someone can help
    Cheers
    Kat

    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
    You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.

  • Delete project and render files etc

    Is it possible to delete a project and all render files related to the specific project?

    Sure. Delete the project from the hard drive. Delete the render files from whatever location they are set to in system settings. You'll probably also want to delete the media from your capture scratch if you're finished with it.

  • IMovie deletes my projects and event when importing another video!!!

    I was working on an iMovie project and was just importing a file and it did not import, but then iMovie deleted all my projects and events. I then found the projects and events saved in Finder but they will not open. When I clicked on them it opened iMoviebut will not open the projects. How do I fix this and get my projects and events back on iMovie?

    I would try trashing your Preferences files. For full instructions, see this link.
