Recommended Render Setting for HDV 1080 29.97 project

Hello,
I'm making my 1st venture into creating my first HDV project in AE and I'm struggling with what render settings I should be using.  These are just athletic highlights I put together for a local college so there is nothing deeply complex in terms of animations, particles, etc.  Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Comp Preset: HDV 1080 29.97 (1440x1080)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HDV 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33)
Frame Rate: 29.97
Want to put final project on DVDs for distribution
If there is more information that is needed I'd be happy to provide ASAP.  Again, thanks for your direction.
Regards,

If you're authoring in Encore and you've purchased one of the Adobe Suites, you can also drop Premiere Pro Projects, After Effects Projects or rendered uncopressed or lossless HD files directly in the Project panel, drop them in a timeline and build your DVD there. AE and PPro projects open up a window that will give you the choice of AE comps or PPro Sequences.
If you do that and want multiple copies I'd recommend that you build a Disk Image so that compression only happens once and you can burn additional DVD's in minutes.

  • How does one manage these new render setting for previews?

    I placed 4 HD clips from a nested into a sequence 5800 x 768 to mimic 4 side by side monitors for a multi channel video.  Each clip cut from the sequence are at 1280x720 all sitting side by side. However when I rendered the previews, they came look all squished. However when I exported the frame it looks fine in Photoshop. (I changed the uploaded image to what it looks like in Premiere in Photoshop to demonstrate the appearance in Premiere.)
    I imagine that the distortion has to do with the sequence render setting which for some reason comes out to 1918 x 253...or the pixel aspect ratio? How does one manage these new render setting for previews so it looks normal in the monitor? 
      

    Either way, I thought that this format would be a great way to view on the monitor 4 channels at the same time. I may need to place them on a “normal” 1440 x 1080 sequence in a line, bringing them down to 25% scale to make it work in the end. I did just try that. I think it will work...but when I imported and nested the old file, the scratch disks changed from the original set up on a D drive back to the main hard drive so I had to change it agin. Otherwise it works fine...so I’ll go with this for now
    These are the instructions I was given.I attched a screen save of the AE file they asked me to use (They must be on vacation, because I have not been able to get hold of them). I don't know After Effects very well:
    “As you begin creating or adapting work for e4c, you may find an After Effects template developed for this system to be helpful. Attached you'll see a zipped file with two AE templates. There is some detailed information (below) from the artist that developed these for us. In addition, a few bits of information that might help you along are:
    ·        The "Watchout"  playback system can support WMV or a QuickTime files . We like .mov files with H.264 codec best!
    ·        The end resolution of the four screens is 5120 x 720 pixels (1280x720 each).
    ·        If works are four-channel, please provide a separate audio (aiff) file so it doesn't slow any one video down.”
    Thanks for your help!

  • Average Render Times for HDV? 1 1/2 minute takes 30 minutes

    Hello everyone.
    I was curious if anyone has heavy experience with HDV render times or have a good resource to get average render times for HDV so I can make sure my times are close to everyone elses. I know HDV has a different GOP structure which makes render times longer, but it just seems to take for ever.
    I have a Dual 3GHz Qaud-Core MacPro with 5GB RAM using Compressor 3.
    1 1/2 minutes from FCP 6:
    Preset 90min high quality DVD MPG 2- takes 30 minutes
    Preset M4V for iPod/iPhone - takes 40 minutes
    Any knowledge or resources would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Deuce

    To be honest, neither of your planned "upgrades" would improve performance all that much because you have too few drives and you will still have too little RAM. Premiere Pro CS5 still needs more than 12GB of RAM just to perform at its best. In addition, two drives (in your planned upgrade case, one SSD and one HDD) barely meet Adobe's stated minimum system requirements; Adobe strongly recommends more than three separate drives. (In your case, you'd need at least four completely matched hard drives in two (R)AID 0 arrays, with each matched pair in one array, in addition to the SSD.) And current AMD x4 CPU-based systems perform at least three to four times slower than a fast Intel-based system because the AMD CPUs do not fully support the SSE 4.x extensions that Adobe makes heavy use of.
    As currently configured, you have a system that's at least 8 to 10 times slower than a fast, properly tuned Intel-based system. And even after you perform the so-called "AMD upgrade", your upgraded system will still be six to eight times slower than a fast mid-priced Intel-based system. And all that is due to the fact that you'd still have only two drives and too little RAM (IIRC you'd still have only 4GB of RAM and only a single hard drive for everything except the OS and programs even after the AMD-based "upgrade").

  • Best workflow for HDV 1080/60i/24pA with FCP 5.1.4

    I've spent hours trying to find the answer to this specific problem on the discussion forums as well as the FCP user manuals and I can't find it, please help! I've got a Sony HVR-V1U and I recently recorded several hours of footage at 24pA. I would like to edit the footage in 24p, and preferably in a different codec besides HDV and definitely not in AIC. I don't have any experience with Cinema Tools and I can't seem to get any files directly from FCP to Cinema Tools no matter what I transcode the video to. Also, is there any way to transcode the video to ProRes because it is so much faster to render video in ProRes than in HDV.
    Thanks in advance!

    Removing pulldown is done during capture if you shot 24pa, and in Cinema tools if you shot 24p. However I don't think that camera shoots a version of 24p that works when you remove the pulldown pattern. I could be wrong, but as I recall, the 24fps video that the v1u shoots isn't exactly the same as that shot by say, a DV camera so might not work removing pulldown. Just looked at the specs at Sony on the camera... it does apparently shoot with a 2:3 pulldown, so after you capture, you might try Cinema tools for the removal. Never heard of anyone doing this with HDV though, so it might be pretty problematic.
    That said, you should be able to transcode to ProRes in Compressor, and it should look great. Don't use your computer display to judge the quality of the results though, use an external video monitor. Artifact may show up on the computer's display when it's really not in the video...

  • No High Quality Setting for HDV 1080i on QT Export?

    hello. a quick question.
    when exporting a footage from fce as a quicktime movie in hdv 1080i format, why is it that there is no section for quality settings? because it automatically puts "medium" next to the quality button, whereas i'd naturally would like to see it saying "high"

    If your original is HD material export to QuickTime Movie.
    There is no setting because AIC uses a fixed data rate.

  • AE render setting for Vimeo HD

    Hi All,
    I've created a demo video for a client, its been created at 1920x1080HD and is 25 frames per sec. All graphics are sharp but i've had to use screen video captures from the client. They are sharp enough and work very well on my computer but when its all rendered they look very fuzzy and aren't legible. Not to mention that the mobile version seems to default to a SD render rather then a HD one.
    I'm using Adobe CC 2014 and I know that the H264 codec is now located in the format options which means I can only choose quicktime as an output.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on this. I want to make my client happy so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Emma

    I'm not clear what you are saying. All H.264 is/ should be handled via Adobe Media Encoder. Nobody would use the outdated H.264 in Quicktime.

  • Best Export Setting for TV 1080 with constant FPS

    1080 23.976fps  DSLR footage
    Coming from Final Cut Pro,  I would export a ProRes 1080 mov file for my TV.  This would give me a high quality playback.
    I have experimented with several export options in PP 6 and noticed choppy playback on my TV.  Upon closer inspection, the FPS appears to be changing with each frame. 
    What settings do I need for a constant 24fps with a high bitrate ?        

    4 Hours later, I am still waiting on the export of a 10 minute HD timeline.   The clips all have Magic Bullet on them but that's about all.    There must be a quicker workflow for this ?  
    My Final Cut workflow was the following...
    Export a 5-10 minute ProRes HD Sequence takes about 5 minutes!   I then open theProRes mov file and convert to H264 with a smaller dimension. I use quicktime player to make this conversion.  This takes me no more than 1 hour.   Total export and conversion with Apple's Final Cut averages about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

  • Best export setting for hdv

    I have some HDV footage that has already been loaded onto my system but I want to convert the footage to a more manageable format so that i can make data disks and share them with people. I also don't want to edit with HDV but converting it to DVCPRO, which I've heard is the best file type to convert it to, takes up way too much space. Any suggestions?

    To share to SHOW or to share to EDIT? DVCPRO HD has a higher data rate than HDV, but like HDV unless people have FCP installed on their system they will not be able to see the footage. Those codecs only come with FCP.
    To VIEW...H.264.

  • What is the best proejct setting for editing h.264 video?

    I have captured hours of VHS footage via an Elgato Video Capture device for Mac.   Captured video is in H.264 format.
    Trying to edit the video in Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but it is being very fussy.   Takes a long time to import media.  Once in and a few cuts are made, timeline drags and freezes repeatedly.   This was with a setting for HDV 720p 30.  
    Is my problem with the project setting?  I hope so.  But I also hope I can figure out what the proper setting should be.   Any thoughts?
    Footage is decades old.  Not the best quality, of course.  I do want the final project to look as good as possible and be in Widescreen for uploading to Youtube.

  • How to set render false for OALink Bean

    Hi friends,
    is it possible to set render false for OALinkBean.
    i am using the following code but it is not working
    OALinkBean LinkBean = (OALinkBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("subTabLinkThree");
    if(projectType.equals("XYZ"))
    LinkBean.setRendered(false);
    }

    previously i was using this code for hiding the subtablink but this code was not working
    OALinkBean LinkBean = (OALinkBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("subTabLinkThree");
    LinkBean.setRendered(false);
    but now i am using following code and this code is working fine
    OASubTabLayoutBean subTab = (OASubTabLayoutBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("subTabLayoutRN");
    if(subTab != null)
    subTab.hideSubTab(2,true);
    }

  • Export Media from DV Pal to AVI: Best recommended setting for Output file?

    I have a project in CS4, on Windows, in DV format (original videos were M2t).
    What is the optimal setting for export (and possibly for the sequence settings too) for the best quality and then smallest size?
    If my input is M2T files - is the best settings to work in Premiere is DV 1 for Pal?
    I always use Progressive Interlace - is that required or is the default of Lower field OK as well (I am not sure exactly what is the impact of using just one field, but from previous versions of Premiere Progressive always improved the video image)?
    Is the frame rate of Pal as 25 FPS must be adhered in the sequence setting and export to avoid re-rendering?
    As for the Export side:
    Is using the DV Pal is best for quality without going uncompressed?
    Is starting with 16GB of DV as m2T and ending with 20GB of DV reasonable?
    Is the method of exporting to DV and then compressing it using a 3rd party is the best way going about the creation of the movie and then compressing it for distribution?
    What is the the recommended tool for compressing - and with which format?
    The end result is meant to be consumed as an AVI on people's desktop. Not on mobiles or YouTube or DVD.
    On BitTorrent I see many files that are in HD but have an amazingly small size of less 1 GB - what do these guys use to achieve such small sizes yet amazing quality?
    What is the best tool and codec to achieve a compression based on a file size?
    Is DivX better than XVid? And is "Multipass nth pass" is the way to configure the DivX for best results?
    I really feel we lack any guidance on these aspects and a huge of time is wasted every time I get to this stage when it should all be pretty standrad for me.
    I know I am asking a number of question but if someone is able to jot down the basics of the tool, codec and settings to achieve best quality (regardless of the time it takes to get to it) - I'd be very grateful!
    Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to all,

    I find your post somewhat confusing.
    These m2t are they converted?
    Run a file that you are using in Prmeiere through Media Info and post a screendump.

    What is the endproduct going to be? YouTube, DVD, media player or .....

  • What's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in UI) for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit OS?

    Hi gurus
    In resource based throttling, what's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in the resource based throttling tab of the UI) for a 64-bit host
    on a 64-bit Windows OS?
    According to MS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee308808(v=bts.10).aspx):
    "By default, the
    Process memory usage throttling threshold is set to 25. If this value is exceeded and the BizTalk process memory usage is more than 300 MB, a throttling condition may occur. On a 32-bit
    server, you can increase the Process memory usage value to 50. On a 64-bit server, you can increase this value to 100. This allows for more memory consumption by the BizTalk process before throttling
    occurs."
    Does this mean that 100 is the recommended setting for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit Windows?
    Thanks
    Michael Brandt Lassen

    Hi Michael,
    Recommended setting is the default setting which is 25 .dot.
    If your situation is abnormal and you see message delivery throttling state to “4” when the following performance counters are high or if you expect any of you integration
    process could have impact on following counters, then you can consider the suggestion by Microsoft. Don’t change the default setting.
    High process memory
    Process memory usage (MB)
    Process memory usage threshold (MB)
    You can see these counters under “BizTalk:MessageAgent”
    You can gauge these performance counter and its maximum values if have done any regression/performance testing in your test servers. If you have seen these counters having
    high values and causing throttling, then you can update the Process memory usage.
    Or unexpectedly you’re process high throughput messages in production which is causing these counters to go high and cause throttling, then up can update the Process memory
    usage.
    The above two cases where I know my expected process usage (by doing performance testing) or suddenly my production server processing has gone high due to unexpected business
    hike (or any reasons) which caused throttling, then do changes to default throttling setting.
    Just changing the default setting without actual reason could have adverse effect where you end up allocating 
    more processing capacities but the actual message processing message usage ever is low means you end up investing in underutilised resources.

  • Can anyone recommend best Collbook setting for 1.8Ghz SSD?

    I just bought Coolbook to reduce the heating of my rev C MBA and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some settings for it, as I found the instruction manual rather complicate to understand. Mine is 1.8GHz with SSD.
    Thank you!

    That's it? No other setting are necessary? I have seen a number of layers in the configuration screen and I just wanted to make sure.
    Thank you for helping me!

  • Recommended OPEN CURSORS setting for Oracle serving a web app

    G'day
    Hopefully Phil is still lurking here, so might see this.  Or anyone else that knows about Oracle.
    I've always thought the default for "maximum pooled statements" setting for an Oracle DSN - which is 300 - is way too low to be sensible for a web app (which, let's face it, any CF DSN is going to be used for!).  I usually find I end up with it up around 1000-2000, depending on the sizeof the app, and how busy it is.
    I'm adequate with monkeying around with Oracle, and have needed to do a moderate bit of that sort of thing in our dev environment, but I am by no means a DBA, so it's all very seat-of-the-pants.
    So I'm keen to know what other people have their maximum pooled statements / open cursors setting set to for their Oracle-driven web sites/apps.
    One of the reasons I'm asking is that I wonder if it might be worth while to suggest the default for CF9 is upped to 1000 or so..?
    Thoughts / comment?
    Adam

    I personally would not set the limit any higher than 300, and I'd consider keeping it even lower.
    Each pooled query / open connection is imposing resource-burdens on both the CF and the Oracle servers by creating what might be thought of as "a very crowded restaurant."  Most of them are just standing around, but they nevertheless are occupying the restaurant, and the potential exists that every one of them might try to order a burger-and-fries at exactly the same time.
    The "number of pooled statements" should be such that your SQL-server can actually handle that number of simultaneous requests, both in terms of active searches and of maintaining the still-open result sets.  Beyond that point, incoming web requests should be forced to wait.  Set an "occupancy limit" to your proverbial restaurant such that everyone could come in and be timely served at the same time.
    Categorically, if you plot out response-time graphs about such things (SQL servers, virtual memory subsystems, and so on), they exhibit a fairly-linear performance curve up to a point, after which "the elbow- or knee-point is reached" and beyond that point it becomes exponential in a very, very bad way.  I saw this happen in a batch-processing subsystem long ago on a very small mainframe:  (yeah, I'm makin' these numbers up...)
    Number of Jobs at Once
    Completion Time per Job
    1
    30 seconds
    3
    40 seconds
    8
    9 minutes
    12
    4.5 hours
    It was just-about that bad.  And what I did to (dramatically...) address the problem was to impose simultaneous-job limits on that subsystem.  As long as the number of simultaneous jobs was constrained to "less than 3 at a time," a workload of 12 jobs could be reliably completed in (4 * 40) seconds, whereas if all 12 jobs tried to run at once, the computer would have reason to file a lawsuit for abuse.

  • What's the better procedure for HDV to DVD SP?

    I found 2 articles on how to take an HDV timeline and export it for DVD SP for a SD DVD.
    Anyone use either of these procedures? What results in a better quality video?
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/hdv_to_sddvd.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/hdv_timeline_to_sddvd.html

    OK. So to report back:
    Having set the sequence to render as ProRes and then exporting via Compressor looks as bad as exporting a straight HDV sequence via Compressor.
    So I reset the Render setting to "Same as sequence" and exported a small part using the procedure outlined in my first post, exporting using quicktime conversion. That looked great.
    Exporting using Quicktime conversion or straight quicktime takes the same amount of time on my system (intel iMac), so I opted to go with Ken Stone's recommendation and use Quicktime Conversion, since that's the more recent recommendation.(The other link did recommend outputing a QT file, but it was a year older. Maybe the author(s) learned something in the interim?)
    So now I am in the middle of a 20 hour export to a QT file. I'll report back in about 13 hours...
