Rendering from QT-DNxHD to other codecs causes black spots in the highlights. Causes?

Using a windows 7 pro machine, i7, 24gb ram, Nvdia GTX 570.
No other codecs that I have used have ever caused this issue. I am rendering from DVCPRO through an AE - 16 bit - rec 709 timeline to 10 bit QT-DNxHD (No problems at this point). I then edit in PP. No signs of problems at this point. From there I export via AME to AVI, H264 and Mp2 DVD. This is where it gets bad. All clipped highlights, coming from PP through AME, have black spots in them.
I have never worked with DNxHD before. I have heard good things and wanted to try it as a mastering codec. I'm sure this is not suppose to happen... am I doing something wrong?

Hey Jim, AVI is no spring chicken either.... 
Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology.
As much as I dont care for its slow export time from PrP, QT is till a widely adopted stamdard by both consumers and professionals alike. I may have my preferences now for other workflows, but when dealing with clients and others its still the dominant and preferred wrapper of choice.

  • So much rendering from motion, am i doing anything wrong?

    hi just wondering if there's a way to cut down on all the rendering from motion. whether i export to mov or embed in the project, any little tweak i make to motion files inside FCP causes me to need to re-render everything. Am i missing a sequence setting or render setting somewhere that'll help? it's killing my workflow.
    thanks

    Because you've bounced into Motion and then back again,, it needs to use the Motion engine and any effects to make the clip. Because you're not using native FCP plug-ins or effects you don't get the realtime previews you may be used to.
    My advice would be to build your edit, then go into motion right at the end and work on the effected clips, once your absolutely happy with them, render out and insert them into your edit.
    It really goes without saying that constant tweaking means constant re-rendering.
    The other thing to do would be to use the QUICK VIEW ram preview in FCP to get a feel for what changes you made, but this is of course limited by how much ram you have in your MAC.

  • How to move BCS data from one box to other

    Hello Expert,
    Dose any one know how to move BCS data from one box to other box ?
    Thanks & Regards,

    1) The best is to do the test. In my case, my customer was just doing this transfer (in full) to perform tests on the BEX reportings. Actually, they never raised any issue regarding document number when they did additional postings in test system... I would also say that during the transfer, the number counter in Qual gets not synchronized with the one in Prod. So, I think the system will just take the next number available in Qual. Should not be an issue.
    2)  As explained in answer 1), in my case, the purpose was not to perform data migration from one system to the other one. Thus, my customer never performed a subsequent consolidation in the target system. But, basically, the transfer copies all data : posting levels 00 to 30, for all periods you have selected + Additional financial data and sequence of activities. Thus, for me, everyhting is available in the target system, including COI documents. In other words, the "picture" regarding the data should be exactly the same between both system. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the customizing : it must be the same in Qual and Prod (example : date of acquisition and divestiture, structure of the group, etc...).
    Another very important thing, is that your export data source must not be enriched due to the BCS Delta load scenario. If it is the case, the system will write the consolidation logic (i-e the consolidation group + reporting mode) when transferring the data from the source Real Time Infocube to the Target Real time infocube, which will lead to inconsistent data in the target system.

  • When starting a Lync group message from a Mac, anyone else using a Mac cannot see the first message.

    When a group conversation is started from a Mac, any other Mac user will not see the first message unless they reply to the message immediately.  Here's what I've tested:
    Mac User 1 starts a group conversation with 4 people invited.
    Mac User 2 sees the popup but does not immediately open the conversation window.
    PC User 1 opens the conversation window and sends a reply.
    PC User 2 opens the conversation window and sees all the text.
    Mac User 2 finally opens the window about 30 seconds later and can see all text except the first message.
    Why does the first message disappear for Mac User 2?  
    Note:  This does not happen if the original message was started from a PC, in that case Mac User 2 would be able to see the first message.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for single Mac computer or for multiple computers?
    Please try to login Lync client on another Mac computer with the same Lync account and test again.
    Please also try to login Lync client on the issued Mac computer with other Lync account and test again.
    Please check if the Lync client on Mac computer update to the latest version, if not, please update to the latest version.

  • Field Order Changes?  Rendering from Color.

    I received a project from a client that was run through color. I noticed their source files were lower field dominant (525/29.97) and their renders from color were upper or odd field dominant. This caused some strangeness in their sequences and it looks like they de-interlaced their clips and/or changed the field order of their sequences. I can't find anywhere in Color to set this as a pre-set, other than setting to de-interlace renders. Is it possible that Color is inverting the field order when it renders? This used to happen with Compressor, when I would export FCP for DVD's, sometimes Compressor would (set to Auto) guess wrong on the field dominance. Can anyone advise?
    Thanks in advance.

    If only it were that easy. Of course, you will want to set a "re-interlace" for export....
    De-interlace seems to be poorly understood and not very well executed in a lot of file-based image processing. In COLOR, both the Geometry and COLORFX rooms display spectacular weaknesses in this regard. To even use the word as its applied in COLORFX is a bit of a misnomer, because the real thrust of the exercise is to "split" and flag the fields for proper dominance handling. The COLOR USER manual has a good illustrated example of how to do this -- the result is a "twin" effects tree -- split the frame into its components at the top, do your voodoo identically for each "field" stream, then correctly zipper them back together at the bottom. Its a bit of a secret process, not entirely dissociated from a Masonic handshake.
    There is a notional similarity to SHAKE in this regard, although that application only needs the FileIn node and the GLOBALS render tab enabled appropriately.

  • QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

    I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
    Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
    Error signature from Windows:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
    P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
    P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

    I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load

  • Why would interlacing happen when rendering from 1920x1080 to 720x480

    I rendered an .mov from a Premiere CS6 project that is set for 1920x1080 and 23.976 fps. When I rendered it with the NTSC 24p widescreen setting to 720x480 I noticed a lot of interlacing that I did not see before in the project or on another render that I did with a setting of quicktime 1920x1080 with h.264 encoding with 23.976 frames per second. Is there any reason why I would notice interlacing now in the 720x480 version. I'm new to this, so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I am new to Premiere. What I need to do is have a .mov file rendered out in a standard def version and also in a high def version. I am not familiar with what works best. But I can see that my source file is listed as 1920x1080, 23.976 progressive. Can you suggest a better codec or workflow. I would like to render out at the highest quality possible. I rendered out using DV AVI because I thought it would be the highest quality--but I was not sure. I am finding that VLC player works the best for checking my renders. But I also checked quicktime and media player to see if there was a difference.
    I also renderd a version using the settings for Quicktime,  NTSC DV 24p widescreen, 720x480, and that looked very interlaced too.
    Thanks.

  • Problems rendering from CS6 using H.264

    I'm trying to render out an H.264 from CS6, but getting really glitchy grey pixelated results. So far what I've diagnosed is that if I render from CS6 using format H.264 I get the issue, but if I render out as format Quicktime using the H.264 codec the movie is fine. I tried rendering out in CS5.5 and in both cases there are no problems, which makes me think it's something to do with the way that CS6 handles the H.264 format.
    Here is the version from AE CS6:
    ..and here the same file rendered from AE CS5.5
    One other thing to note is that the problem doesn't seem to show up when viewed in Quicktime 7.
    I'm on a 12 core MacPro running OSX 10.6.8 and have AE CS6 11.0.1.12
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I was rendering Quicktime loseless .mov files for converting to .mp4 for web use and I came across this issue. My quicktime mov's were accurate but my converted files were looking grey and a bit washed out. After endless attempts at converting in Adobe Media Encoder, I found this piece of info. It has eveything to do with your video card settings. In my case, I am on a PC with an NVIDIA video card. Here is what I did.
    NVIDIA Control Panel > Adjust video color settings > Set 'With NVIDIA Settings', go to Advanced tab and set the dynamic range to Full (0-255)
    and a screenshot for your convenience.
    Boom, problem solved. Is this going to help users with the same setting issue, arg nope. But I'm assured that it's a problem I cannot control.

  • Can rendering from Motion reduce banding on gradients in graphics?

    I have created a 50-minute animated movie, the visuals all rendered from Flash Professional 8 in the Animation codec. They look stunning. Clean & beautiful with no banding or artifacts of any kind.
    I edited the movie in FCP 4 using the DV sequence preset and output as DV NTSC. The finished product is mostly gorgeous but has some colour halos and noticeable banding in the gradients I would like to eliminate.
    Question is: If I bought Motion (FCStudio), could I import the whole project into Motion and output it with float rendering would that eliminate the halos and banding? The source files are currently animation codec but could all be re-rendered as uncompressed 10 bit if necessary.
    Or is there some other way to deal with banding in gradients and colour halos?
    G5 dual 1.8Ghz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm sure impressed with all the responses. Thank you.
    As my original question had to do with buying Motion for the float rendering, I didn't give you enough detail to solve my problem in Flash & FCP4.
    At least half of the gradients are in the foreground and the 3d renders, so compositing over a background won't help. I have tried all the high rez codecs and had the same problem. Sorry about wasting your time.
    I have found an acceptable solution that might be worth noting.
    The problem was in rendering it as a self-contained movie from FCP4. I had overlooked the CUSTOM setting under Export as QuickTIme which allowed me to ouput a REFERENCE MOVIE in ANIMATION codec ( I had previously tried outputting a reference movie in uncompressed 8&10bit but that made the actual real life DV footage in the movie terribly jittery).
    The reference animation codec movie burned to DVD eliminated a lot of the banding and reduced the rest to a level that looks like a "style". The output is otherwise stunning in its clarity and colour, and for this project I am deeming that acceptable. I will buy FCP Studio and learn Motion and perhaps output an even cleaner master in future but not for this deadline.
    Thank you all again for taking the time to reply.
