Rendering Question

I have a Sony HD video camera. Nothing special just a nice pro-sumer camera. Whenever I capture the video I can view it just fine in the viewer but when I bring it to my timeline after I have made my in and out points my computer wants me to render the video. I have a 17 inch MacBook Pro so I dont think that speed is an issue. By rendering the video am I losing any quality? Am I going to HDV to regular DV?

Jeremy, click the "easy setup" found in the FCP menu for HDV that matches the recordings... the problem you are having is that the sequence doesn't match the properties of the clips. If they are HDV, then you need to setup an HDV sequence to edit them into, then you'll not need to render. You can also turn on the prompt to load different settings when you create a new sequence. Change them to HDV...
You are probably placing the clips in a DV sequence so in effect, you're downconverting them to this. You can open a sequence setting by selecting it in the Browser and typing cmd+zero... and can load an HDV sequence preset from the settings window that opens too to make it match the HDV you're capturing.
Lots of ways to skin this cat, but the problem is your sequence settings aren't HDV when you edit an HDV clip in them, so you have to render.

Experimenting with FCP/ Real time rendering question

Hello, I am preparing to purchase a Mac Pro and spent some time at the local mac affiliate store playing with FCP and motion.
In fcp I took two clips and dropped them in the timeline, adding the 3d cube transition, and some filters to both clips.
I was looking at performance of real time rendering on teh base config of the MP I plan on purchasing.
I then added another clip above these two, intending on dropping the opacity to further push the RTR (real time rendering). This clip overlapped the transition of the two other clips in v1 and v2.
When attempting to play the timeline the viewer window now said "Not Rendered"
My question is:
Is there a limit to how many tracks can be run under the RTR? Why did I get this message?
My main reason of the move to a Mac Pro is to get away from constantly pre-rendering.
Thanks everyone in advance!

Sounds like you know what you're doing and what you expect. A factor that has not been mentioned yet, besides RAM, prefs and drive speeds, is your video format.
Also, the new rev of FCP is taking advantage of tons of processing overhead, vastly increasing the amount of stuff you can do in real time. However, real time is largely a preview operation, regardless of the machine or system, unless you are using proprietary codecs, such as Media 100, that might be hardware-assisted. Output is almost always a rendering issue, multiple stacked or processed layers require the creation of new media.
The only way you're going to be able to decide if Macintosh and FCP are right for you is to demo thoroughly and that requires using your own footage.

Preview rendering question

Hey all, Mike the newbie has more questions
I imported about 6k images into lightroom and I'm working on organizing them within the collections but my question previews. As I scroll through the library there is a delay in seeing the images as they seem to render realtime. This seems to impact me more when the library has larger images and I'm scrolling down more.
I imported the images using the 1:1 previews, would going with standard preview produced a better performance result?
How about none? I read the FAQ but it really doesn't address whether the rendering is altered by choosing this the different preview options.
My second question about previews is there any option to rebuild them, for instance say there is a speed bump with using the standard previews, can I delete the current ones and recreate/rebuild them somehow?

I imported the images using the 1:1 previews, would going with standard preview produced a better performance result?
How about none?
That's strange. There might be some small performance penalty of having 1:1 previews over standard (since they are physically bigger), but it should be marginal. What is your machine specs?
My guess is either the machine is too slow or your expectations are too high (Lightroom is not speed daemon). Are your sure the previews have actually be built?
My second question about previews is there any option to rebuild them, for instance say there is a speed bump with using the standard previews, can I delete the current ones and recreate/rebuild them somehow?
Yes, you can discard 1:1 previews and rebuilt standard. Use the Library>Previews menus.

Using Dynamic Link for projects cut in Premiere and effects in AE.. Rendering Question..

Hello,
So this baffles me. I've been working a lot in Premiere CC lately with ProResHQ green screen material. I send the sequence or individual clips using After Effects by right clicking on the clip in Premiere and selecting Create After Effects Composition...
So I do my thing and when it comes time to render, I select render from IN to OUT in Premiere and wait. Now here's my question. If I select render in Premiere, it will be very sluggish until I click on the After Effects icon in my dock which brings the app to the foreground again. For some reason, this will dramatically accelerate my render speeds in premiere after I re-select the AE app. Why is this doing this?
I'm using a new Mac Pro trashcan tower 3.5 clock speed. 64GB ram. Dual D700 graphics card. I am using a USB3.0 drive for my editing and the internal drive on the tower for the scratch. I'm getting a Lacie 1TB little bigdisk thunderbolt2 that will be my prime scratch and video location for future stuff.
Thanks for your help -

Generally speaking, there is no 'one & only' proper workflow. Just keep in mind the following:
- not all effects and transitions are properly translated when travelling from PrPro to AE;
- in Dynamic Link scenario PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck. See this good old thread on Dynamic Link workflow, pay attention to Todd's comments;
- since AE allows to set a DI as a proxy to dynamically linked comp, with reasonable amount of dynamically linked comps in PrPro project you can enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between a DI and dynamically linked comp back and forth with no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline. Test on your own with which amount of dynamically linked comps setting DIs as proxies still work. For my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time.

FCP6 - rendering question

Just got FCP6. Question: I am editing primarily HDV in the sequence. When I drop in a SD clip or a still, there is a green bar over the the clip / still in the timeline. When I render, it looks like it renders for a split second, but the green bar is still there. The SD clips and the stills play just fine, but there is still a green bar over it. What's going on?

Check to make sure ALL of the render types under the Render->Sequence menus are checked.

Basic save (rendering) question

Hi ,
I am lost on some of the basics, I have a MOV file which I wanted to cut up a bit and then simple resave , apparently this is not
possible , and or rerender the file in its cut version. There are so many options on how to render a project to movie format
How can I best import a MOV or AVI recut it and simple re save it without losing having to lose pixels in the process
thanks a bunch
Version is Premiere Por CS3 3.0.0 (374)

Ralph,
Depending on your source footage, you might not be able to do what you want 100%.
For the .MOV footage, you might be better off getting Apple's QuickTime Player Pro (US$29 upgrade/unlock). It will allow limited editing, about that which you describe, and will do a pretty good job at letting you Save in the same format.
Now, if you have DV-AVI Type II material, you can do what you want, and then Export as DV-AVI Type II (uncheck Recompress) and there is only very minimal loss in quality. I doubt that you could ever detect it.
As a bit of background, let's step through just what happens, when one has footage that is not I-frame (all Frames individually present). First, PrPro will basically convert this GOP (Group of Pictures) footage into full I-frame. The "difference Frames" in that footage will be rendered in, so that one can edit at a Frame level. At this point, you no longer have that original GOP structure, but full I-frame. If you THEN Export to the original GOP format, you WILL recompress that footage, loosing quality. The best that you can probably do is to use an intermediate CODEC, like the Lagarith Lossless, to get an Exported file, though in a new format, not the original compressed GOP one.
With .MOV files, if the CODEC used is the Animation CODEC, you can do editing and then Export to .MOV, using the Animation CODEC w/ minimal loss in quality. With other .MOV CODEC's, it will very likely not be as good, but that will depend on the exact CODEC used in both the source footage and the Exported footage.
MOV, AVI, MPEG, WMV are but "wrappers," and much can be inside them - they are NOT created equal. This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background on these "wrappers." I'd also suggest doing a Google search for "GOP" and read some of the articles on Group of Pictures formats. I believe that you'll get the idea of what that footage is all about. Jim Taylor, author of DVD Demystified, has a great analogy, "birds on a telephone," that outlines the GOP structure in clear, easy to understand terms.
Good luck, and sorry that the answer to your question is - it depends.

Hi,
The links you have refered are really useful. Unfortunatelly, my environment is just flex sdk 3.
So I have to find some other solution to finish this logic.

Video Rendering Question using Premiere Elements 11 and/or Adobe Premiere

The video Rendering /encoding process can take hours even on an I5 processor.
It seems like this has to be done, redone and done again during the editing process.
If I purchase a camera which supports AVCHD 2.0 - does that mean that the encoding process altogether goes away, so that content is able to be transfered natively to the end media and so that I reduce my burn time to a BluRay Disc, using for example, Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or Full Fledged Adobe Premiere, or Sony's Vegas ?
Newbie to Video Editing.

AVCHD 2.0 only means that the camera can also record 1080p/60, which was previously not part of the AVCHD specification and still is not part of the Blu-ray spec. It's most useful for smooth slow motion effects.
Anything you add to Premiere Pro will need to be transcoded for Blu-ray, no way around that.

JCombobox Renderer Question

I am trying to use a custom renderer for a jcombobox in order to show combobox items in different font color. I get a DefaultListCellRenderer and update it according to my needs (setting font color). When I run the application, the combobox is populated properly. When I select one of the items (say "Red") from the combobox, the item gets selected, but the after the selection the font color of the item that is selected defaults to black (instead of red here). What should I do so that after selecting the item, the selected item is shown in the appropriated font color as indicated by custom renderer.
Here is the code for the custom renderer.
    private class ColorCmbRenderer implements ListCellRenderer {
        protected DefaultListCellRenderer defaultRenderer = new DefaultListCellRenderer();
        private final Dimension preferredSize = new Dimension(50, 23);
        public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
                                                    int index, boolean isSelected,
                                                    boolean cellHasFocus) {
        JLabel renderer = (JLabel) defaultRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index,
                                                    isSelected, cellHasFocus);
            switch (index) {
                case 0: renderer.setText("Black");
                        renderer.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                        break;
                case 1: renderer.setText("Red");
                        renderer.setForeground(Color.RED);
                        break;
                case 2: renderer.setText("Blue");
                        renderer.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
                        break;
                case 3: renderer.setText("Green");
                        renderer.setForeground(Color.GREEN);
                        break;
                default: break;
            renderer.setPreferredSize(preferredSize);
            return renderer;
    }Another thing that I wanted to know is whether each of the items in the jcombobox can be associated with individual Action objects by using something like setAction(new HTMLEditorKit.BoldAction()).

Nirvan.

JTree custom cell renderer question

When using a custom cell renderer is their anyway to tell the offset of the current node?
For example if you have a tree with the parent node "Parent" that has a few children nodes it will look something like this:
Parent
|----Child 1
|----Child 2
|----Child 3
So the parent would have an offset of zero. I want to know how to get the childrens offset? If this is possible?
What I am trying to accomplish:
I have a JTree as a scrollpane rowHeader. While the main body of the scrollpane is a JTable. I need the tree's nodes to fill the entire width so that it looks like part of the table. I figure the row header width - current node offset should be the width that I will need each node to be. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

the renderer tells you the row, the tree can get you a treepath for a row
TreePath getPathForRow(int row)
That can tell you the depth of the node.

Rendering question, part 2!

I was trying to clean up my projects in FCP, and in doing so I moved the render folder around. Now I'm having problems with Compressor.
When I try to export using Compressor, I get the spinning pinwheel. I have to 'force quit' out of compressor and then I get the message that media files (the render files) have went offline.
I try to reconnect and it says there are no files associated with the clip. Spotting my problem (moving render files folder), I thought it would be best to delete all my old render folders - any render folder - and I restarted the computer. I thought that a new render folder would appear when I re-opened FCP, which it did, and the problem would be solved. It's not.
I have an internal hard drive that I save all FCP files to. I'm working on 3 projects. In the new render files folder that was created when I re-rendered the video, it has each project listed. So why am I still having this problem?
In the preferences, I have all the media saving to the specified internal hard drive. There's plenty of room, so that's not an issue.
So now, there is only 1 folder for render files. In that folder, each project is listed. But yet, I still can't export to compressor with out it freezing on me and I have to 'force quit' out of compressor and I still get that message that some files went offline.
I emptied the trash, so the files aren't going to a folder in the trash bin.
Aargh - any ideas? I need to send off a project at the end of the day!

I'm with Nick on this. It takes no more time to export self-contained and you do not run into all these other issues.
Drive space is really, really cheap these days ... and my time isn't.

Background rendering question...

I have several 30 minute FCPX projects and all of them have lots of background rendering to do still. (color corrections and the like)
Do I have to open each project and render them one at a time before sending to Compressor?
OR...when I send to Compressor, somehow it completes the rendering before it exports?
Just wondering what the fastest workflow is.
I don't see a way to say "Render all my unrendered files in all my projects" while I'm sleeping overnight.
Advice?
Thank ya!

Ooooohhhhhhhh....... so it just knows what to do when it exports? So, if I did color correcitng, it will just be there on export? That's interesting... ok. Cool.

PDF dot rendering question

Hi, I am trying to render a grid made of dots in a JFreeChart inside of a JasperReport, which is exported to a PDF file. The PDF file prints just fine, but when I open it in the Acrobat Viewer, the following behavior occurs. At high zoom resolutions in the viewer (400% - 1600%), the dots that make up the grid look fine (i.e. they look like small squares), but at lower resolutions, 100% in particular, they become horizontally stretched, and look like very short horizontal lines, instead of dots. The only way I've been able to resolve that issue, is to give the dots (rendered by a BasicStroke awt object) very tiny dimensions, in which case, they look like dots at any resolution in the PDF Viewer, but because of the tiny size, are no longer picked up by the printer.
Has anyone come up against this issue? Is there a particular reason why dots (or little squares) would get stretched out in the Viewer at lower resolutions? Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.

This all goes to how the dot resolution is converted to the 96dpi characteristic of screens. It sounds like you are using a bitmap dot and not a vector character. If it was a vector character then it would more likely retain the shape. It may also depend on the display resolution you selected in the PDF creations.
