Reimporting an img file for further editing

Hi I was reading about a program which would enable one to convert an img file to a form that would allow the file to be reimported to editing software for additional work. I can't remember where I read about it or what it was called. Anyone hear of such a useful thing?
Thanks
Leslie

Hi Leslie
The most convinient way I know of is using Roxio Toast™
In Video mode down a small round button indicates "Export" the resulting
file is just to import to iMovie, FCE etc.
Quality is less that Your original but max what a DVD can deliver.

How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
Ut Video Codec Suite
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
you should consider using the Project Manager.
Trim or copy your project
By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

When I send a file to PS for further edits then send it back to LR..

When I send a file to PS for further edits then send it back to LR, sometimes the file goes to the end of the folder with the original rather then staying in order with all the other file #. How do I get them to stay in order.

Library module above filmstrip change Sort: to 'Capture Time' or 'File Name.'

Export clips to re-import for further editing?

REF to the following discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4846909#4846909
Excuse me for butting in, but this is related to my question. I, too, wanted to export at a 'matching original' format so as not to lose any quality. And noticed the same 50% quality output.
Some of the clips in my project needed denoiser applied before bringing into a sequence for editing with other clips. but they won't play in realtime, even with CUDA. I thought I might put each clip on its own sequence, apply the effects, and export out the new denoised clip to re-import. But with the matched setting, it seems the quality is noticeably degraded. I can't really tell because my monitor is not professional.
I also tried the DNxHD format, but it created huge files and poor quality video. Perplexed about that one, as I was expecting a ProRes type quality on the PC.
So, if the matched setting is not adviseable, what then is the best output format to use for HDV material to be re-imported back in for further editing? I am thinking h264 at a high data rate like 24-25 Mb/sec. Or is that advisable at all?
And, I assume the original clips with denoiser effect (red bar) do not need to be rendered before exporting?
I have a reasonably fast PC, 32 G RAM, NVidia GTX580 Ampd! video card, i7 3.4 MHz processor, separate RAID 0 drives for footage and previews. And CS6 apps.

Alex,
I suppose it would not be helpful to suggest a different camera - one with better low light capabilities, but it might be worth considering.
Cineform will interpolate the 4:2:0 chroma to 4:2:2 and has it's own color correction tools. I imagine that will help you immensely. I used to capture directly to the Cineform codec and need to start doing that again if I ever get around to taking the HDV camera out of the bag again. If you capture to it, there is no time lost to speak of. I am not sure if I am going to do that much after I buy my new DSLR next month, except to use as a second camera or for b-roll but you never know. If my research determines that I am sticking with Cineform after I change cameras, I will be posting the reasons here on the forum, just to let people know what I found.
And no. You don't need to render in order to export, but most people do so they can see the video in real time before exporting.
Lagarith can be found under AVI. You have to change the majority of the parameters from codec to frame size to filed order and more, but you can get there. I have never used UT so I can't help there.

After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
*My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
If this isn't working got to :-
Edit, Preferences, External Editing
.....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
Good luck!

CFMAIL: How to open an email for further editing before it is sent?

I'd like to know if there is a way, using CFMAIL, to create
the email in the code but instead of sending the email, have the
email open in the client email program so that the user can further
edit this email if they so wish before they manually hit the send
button?
I could use the standard html mailto tag instead of cfmail,
but I need the email to force the "From" value I specify, and not
show it's from the person who's email account it opens in with
their email client. So I'm hoping there is a cfmail equivalent as I
don't want the email to send straight away!!
Any workarounds to get this to work gratefully received!
Thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply, Dan. The textarea presented on
another webpage isn't what I'm after, so I guess it's back to the
drawing board!

Best format to convert Ultra HD Flip Camera file for FCP editing?

We are using two types of cameras for a video project and one of them is a Flip Camera. Unfortunately, FCP doesn't play too nice with raw flip camera files so I need to convert said file using MPEG Streamclip. What is the best/recommended format to convert the movie file to for FCP editing?
Thanks!

From my experience, Pro Res 422 has been the most recommended for any conversion. Thanks!
Should I look for a specific audio compression option or should I just leave it as "uncompressed"?

Best output file type for further editing

Hi - I was hoping someone could help me with this. I'm making shots which composit various source material (cgi, still images, video from a Canon 7D, etc) which I intend to then edit in premiere for a final output which is as lossless as possible. The trouble is shots which are even a few seconds long render out at several Gb (thus making the final edit enormous - 30Gb+ for two minutes of footage).
I started outputting with quicktime (animation codec) but was advised to switch to targa sequences but these are pretty huge as well.
What would be the recommended output for most lossless quality?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the world of video compositing, where quality and file size go hand in hand. I'm working on a project today that is a 7 minute promo video, and the current job folder is just under 1 Terabyte. If you are serious about quality work in this field you need plenty of hard drive space. Hard drives are ridicuously cheap these days - I can buy an uncased 2TB drive for about $80, or a USB 3 2TB for $95ish.
Quicktime Animation, Quicktime PNG and Uncompressed are common intermediate formats. Apple users also commonly use Pro Res formats, and the Apple Intermediate Codec.

Greenscreen Export For Further Editing

I want to export this greenscreened keyed video to a client to be edited further on a Mac or a PC. I would give them the original footage from a DSLR, but it needed some color correction and noise removal. And I promised to key it for them.
How can I export with the transparency?

If you are passing on a file that some one else is going to edit with / from..its going to be large by definition.
I have no idea how you are seeing the BG noise issue? You did not say.
If its clean in AEFX...its clean.
You dont say if you are doing a BG test as I suggested. Neutral Grey Solids and Color Bars are good tests.
Show us a test.
FWIW...I have done this many times in AEFX. I create a DI with alpha.

Exporting the film in best quality for further editing

I am about to finish a 52-minute long documentary in Final Cu Express. I've been editing in HD, using Apple Intermediate Codec1080i50.
Part of the project files and render files are in an external G-Raid and other part are on my Macbook pro hard drive, Since I will be traveling, I would like to be careful and minimize the risk of something happening either to the G-Raid or to my Mac, therefore, I want to export the film as it is, although in the future I still might need to work on it - do some more final editing and definitely do the subtitles in DVD Pro (currently I don't have the DVD Pro). My question is whether I should be using export - quick time movie or quick time conversion - and what the settings would be for the best quality product that could be used in documentary film screenings and possibly shown on TV? Or how should I go about saving the project? Right now the project file only has references to the files, right, not the files themselves and if something happens I might lose it all...
Thanks for the help!

QuickTime Movie. Forget the render filed, they seldom reconnect properly; it's usually better just to re-render. Keep your G-RAID and make sure it is backed up together with your project.

Can't import video sequences saved as mpeg-2 files for video editing

this is urgent!!!
is there a way of importing video sequences saved as mpeg-2 files? i don't have the dv tapes nor the videocam right now but need to edit the files pronto.
i can do this on a windows xp computer with pinnacle studio 9 except that someone else is using the computer also to meet an urgent deadline.
thank you for any help. btw, i'm a newbie w/ final cut.

FCE does not support that type of file. It is DV only editing program.
Depending on exactly what you have (do you have the orginal DVDs or VOB files) you could use something like DVxDVD to rip the files. MPEG Streamclip does this for free but you need the Apple MPEG2 compenent to work it. FFMEG is a shareware program ... it may be able to do this, but I'm not sure

Generate files for Digital Editions

Goodnight everyone, am layman in the subject, but where can I get information about generating pdf files and e-pub for readings in Digital Edidion ... I read about Adobe Content Server, but can not find how to buy or install or whatever, can someone give me a start?
att

It should run. Have you tried right clicking on the install file in your downloads directory, and choosing 'Run as Administrator'?
If not, see if v1.7.2 installs better. (It will almost certainly run better after it is installed).
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Exporting synced audio with video for further editing

I'm exporting DSLR footage with synced audio in order to "bake" the audio in. I'm going to bring the export into Prelude to organize and then back into Premiere to edit. What are the best export settings (including target and maximum bitrate) to maintain top quality footage that I'll continue editing?
Thanks!

I'd go with UT, DNxHD or AVC-I for this.
