Question re: converting flip ultra hd video

I found my way to this post in the FAQs:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
The properties for these clips show an image size of 1280 x 720 and a frame rate of 30.00.   Should I be changing the output options in the prism software accordingly?  Do I just change the frame size or should I also be changing the frame rate to 29.97?
Thanks,
Cynthia Merzer

Thanks for the response.  Just a few follow up questions.
What about the issue of editing for the future?  Right now, I will not be editing for Blue Ray.  But if I'm going to spend the time editing, Blue Ray like quality could become the future standard and then my clips would be editied and in the correct resolution.  I would not really care to re-edit them a few years down the line; once is enough!
Also, if I convert the Flip mp4s to .avi, is there a concommitant loss in quality?

  • Using with a Flip Ultra HD

    hey folks, question from a video newbie. I’ve ordered iLife 09, hasn’t arrived yet but it’s coming. Just got a Flip Ultra HD video camera. The purpose is to shoot quick client testimonials for our business and upload them to YouTube. It works great except that the audio volume is too low. Is it possible to import into iMovie and then increase the volume of the clip so it’s easier to hear?
    Second question: if this is possible, how much of a pain is it to import the video, adjust the volume, re-save the clip, then upload to YT? The thing that initially appealed to me about the Flip solution was ease of use. If I have to spend 10-15 minutes fussing over every video to get it ready for the web, I'm gonna make a lot less of them than if I can shoot it, spend a couple minutes and then push a button and it’s off.
    Trying to get a feel if I can make this solution work or if I need to look for something different. I appreciate any help, thanks.

    When I plug the Flip Video HD into the iPad 2 I get a message that says ( Accessory unavailable because it uses to much

  • Questions about converting files in order to import to iMovie '09?

    I was able to import the videos from my camera (.mts files) into iMovie '09, but now when I click Import from Camera, iSight opens up instead. Since I can't find out why it won't open up my camera files now, I have decided on just converting the files. I just have a question about converting though. The videos I recorded from my camera are in HD. They're very good quality. If I convert the videos from .mts into .mp4, would that reduce the quality of the video?

    When that happens to me I get stubborn and make iMovie see the camera by shutting down and reopening iMovie, because I don't want another level of transcoding. If that doesn't work and you have a card reader of even better, a sd slot on your iMac, just plug the card in. If it appears on the desktop iMovie should see it, and if it appears on your desktop then iMovie should read it.
    I have a Canon HFS 100 that works best if I take the card out and plug it into the computer.
    The times I converted to .mp4, I thought the quality did degrade, because it had to be converted to .mp4 and then imported as AIC. But I am not an expert on whether iMovie can deal with .mp4 directly.
    Canons require that one have the camcorder plugged into a power outlet, another reason to use a card reader.
    What kind of camcorder do you have?  With some camcorders, if one takes both photos and video, the video won't be read.
    When nothing works, occasionally deleting iMovie preferences works.

  • MP4 Video from Flip Ultra having Audio Sync Issues

    All of sudden I've started having audio sync issues with the mp4 footage exported from the The Flip Ultra camera. Ive tryed the mp4 footage in both windows 7 and Mac OS X and i'm having the same audio issue but when I watch in the flip software or in iMovie no issues. Any know why this has just started happening?

  • Flip Ultra video, Mino HD, or Kodak Zi6 camera

    I am interested in purchasing either a Flip Ultra Video, Flip Mino HD or a Kodak Zi6 video camera. I know the Kodak will hold more video as it will take a SD card. What I want to use one of these cameras for is quick, on the spot videos from kids parties, sport events, quick vacation videos, etc... I want to be able to shoot video, plug it in to the USB, store the video on the mac and be able to burn a disc (easily) when I want to and be able to send them out to family for play on their DVD players. I'm not interested in doing a lot of editing (yet), just point, shoot, plug in and burn. I have been to the electronic stores to play with them and have seen how easy they are to use. Does anyone have opinions or advice on which one will be the best for my more simple needs?

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    I can't speak for the other two models, as I haven't tried them (..though I have tried, and used, the ordinary Flip which shoots in standard-definition 4x3 aspect).
    But I use the Flip minoHD occasionally (..whip it out of the pocket, press the switch to start, and then press the big red button to record..) and it's very handy, and the resolution is terrific for such a teeny device.
    It has only a 2x zoom, however, and that's a digital zoom; which means that the picture is less sharp (..it's simply magnified..) than normal when it's zoomed.
    At its standard, un-zoomed, resolution though, it's a surprisingly good camera.
    Just so that you can see how it looks, here's some footage (..the last sixth of this short video..) shot with the FmHD. You may have to wait a little while for this to load, depending on how fast your broadband connection is..

  • Can Flip Ultra 2nd Generation Minicam movies be used in PreE?

    I am considering purchasing a Flip Ultra 2nd Generation Minicam (2 hrs) for an upcomng European trip. Does anyone know whether the movies from this camera can be transferred to Premier Elements 4 for combining into a travel movie with still shots and eventually recorded on a DVD? I understand the output is in a MPEG4 format?
    Thanks, in advance, for any input provided.
    Sanray19

    >use the flip movies for incorporating them into a travel movie DVD
    Do make an all the way through test... from camera to DVD... so you aren't suprised about the video quality
    Converting from a compressed view format to an edit format... and back to compressed to make a DVD... has built-in quality reduction due to the conversions
    But... do it yourself before you go, so you will know if your end result is what you want

  • ISight v. Flip Ultra HD?

    I'm making short video tutorials for use on my Blog and YouTube. My first down and dirty effort was done with the iSight camera in my MBP -- recorded directly into iMovie.
    I'm hoping that some of you have had experience with both the iSight and Flip Ultra HD and will be able to tell me whether using the Flip will improve the quality of either the video or the sound.
    The Flip has a digital zoom -- and I know iGlasses add's one to iMovie, but in my test run, iGlasses degraded the video in a significant way.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello Stephen J. Herzberg
    I use full featured camcorders, so I have never used any of the flip video cams. However, were I considering a flip, here is how I would proceed.
    Even if some flip users give you direct answers to your questions, the opinions will be theirs. You might not agree with their conclusions.
    Hopefully, some who respond here can offer links to their videos from both _their flips_ and _their iSights_ so you can compare for yourself. However, even if they do show you their videos, you may see different results in the locations or subjects or your own videos. You may want to consider testing flip yourself in the way you plan to use it.
    Find a local retailer who will allow you to test the flip model of interest to see if it meets your quality needs before you buy. Make and upload a short test in the store using the floor sample or demonstrator model.
    Then, if you have not previously done so, use your MBP to make and upload a short iSight test video in lighting and camera distance approximately similar to that you made on the flip test.
    Based on what you say you want to do, it seems to me that the most important quality consideration for your purpose is how the videos will play back over the internet. Once both test videos have "processed" and are available for viewing, you can log into your uploaded tests and view them in the same way your audience will see them. From that, you should be able to decide easily whether the flip is for you.

  • Flip mino or flip ultra HD to use in imovie and final cut express

    i am contemplating either flip mino HD, Flip ultra HD or creative vado HD. Which one has a good video quality and design style? Is it necessary for 2 hrs movie or actually i like the flip mino coz its slimmer but only takes 1 hr video. By the way, What kind of format the flip camcorder will save as coz someone says its .avi but some says Mp4 format? If in Mp4 format, is the quality still good? most of the time i will shoot in ultra hi definition setting. I will use imovie and final cut for edit and does the Flip compatible to imovie and Final cut? How about creative vado? any recommendation?
    But most likely i will get the flip.

    The Flip cameras are easy to use and pocketable.
    Unfortunately it is their very simplicity that drastically limits what they can do.
    They are OK for someone who wants to take daft pictures of their friends and post them on YouTube but for serious film-making they are non-starters.
    They record low quality highly compressed video onto an internal memory.When you have shot your 60 minutes of video you can’t use the camera any more until you get it to a computer and download it.
    The lens is a small aperture fixed focus with no zoom.
    Actually to be correct there is a 2x digital zoom, but as we all know, digital zooms are a total waste of time and only reduce the quality still further. You can get the same effect by enlarging your picture 2x in the computer - not to be recommended.
    So what at first sight, to the uninitiated looks like a very cheap camera, quickly turns out to be a very expensive toy.
    Much better to buy a proper camera (which won't cost all that much more) like Skalicki suggests.

  • Flip Ultra (non-HD) + FCE

    I'm using a MacBook Pro, and I'm thinking about getting the 4GB Flip Ultra (non-HD). I'm curious if I'll be able to edit my video from my video camera with FCE, and will it be relatively easy to use?
    Message was edited by: Ehkiru

    Correct. The camera uses a delivery codec, not and editing codec.
    You will have to transcode to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) and bring the AIC file to FCE.
    Bear in mind there a few codecs using AIC, the FCE Easy Setup that matches the incoming files needs to be selected before import.
    This may help:

    Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
    Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

  • Convert WMV to a video format for iPod?

    Hello,
    I have a WMV recording of a Microsoft Live Meeting event. It is 1.5 hours in length, about 31MB and 4 fps. I need to convert it to a video format that can be played on a video iPod. When I try to export as MP4 from Premiere Pro CS4, the file size really balloons. What settings can I use to keep the file size similar to that of the WMV?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could try using the Apple iPod Video Small preset in AME under H.264 format after customizing the Target Bitrate and Maximum Bitrate. Try reducing these bitrate values. You could use the Estimated File Size that shows up at the bottom of the AME Settings UI as a rough guide to the final file size.To change the bitrate values, first launch AME Settings UI by clicking on the Settings button in AME batch after selecting the batch item.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.
