Saving in an editable format

I am making a video of a friends wedding and was wondering if I could save the project into some format that could be edited again on both a mac and a pc so he doesn't have to re-import the video off of the camera? Is there some format that I could export it in such as MPEG-4 that both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker could import it as and then re-edit it?
Thanks

You will loose quality if you compress the DV content down to something like MPEG-4.
If you can store the DV files somewhere that would be better but they take up a lot of space.

DSLR 5dMkII H.264 30p editable format, anything smaller than ProRes, AIC?

First off - thanks to everyone for the wealth of info already posted on this topic! I went from 0-60 in a couple of hours about my workflow options.
So, I'm a newbie with limited resources. This is my first short-film (first film project). See my computer's specs below. I now know that the 5dMkII gives me 1920x1080, 30p (not 29.97 - thought those were the same for a while with the H.264 codec. OK, not even viewable on my machine in QT and painful in FCP.
So I've learned that FCP doesn't like H.264 as an editing format. Now I converted some clips to ProRes. The shorter clips (>30 seconds) look great and flow fine but, the longer clips (3:30) are so big (5GB) that they are chugging and giving me an 8 bit techno song for audio (which I'm thinking about sampling for a future dance project) Viewing them off a USB 2.0 drive isn't working.
Can anyone suggest an alternative HD editable format to ProRes422 or AIC that can maybe bring down the file size?

Sorry, not if you want to work in an editable HD format. DVCPRO HD maybe, but that doesn't save a lot of space over ProRes. ProRes IS the space saving editing codec.

I teach Continuing education classes to Real Estate agents and I need to issue them certificates at the class, whihc need to be signed by me and it needs to contain their info on the certificate. The certificate is currently saved in a word format.What i'm trying to accomplish is to do a "mail merge " ( as some classes i have as many as 150 attendees) for the document, digitally sign each one with my signature on the certificate and then e-mail it out to the respective attendees. can this be done? if so How?

This is the step that I took after inputting my signature.
On the right, after saving my document, I click "Get Others to Sign." I was confused because it says that it's powered by EchoSign. Like I stated before, my clients are able to sign this document when I send it to them, but it is returned to me with their signature (not in the signature field, but at the end of the document), and my signature is missing. I tested this on myself - my signature is missing when they receive it.

Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.

Hi,
I am getting a pop-up message(Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.Make edits in checked-out enterprise global template to make them
available for all users of this project server) when trying to insert a new column in the Gannt Chart View.
Due to this what all are the columns that inserted in the project plan, will be lost when open the project in the next time.
I have opened the Enterprise Global Template and cross checked for Gaant Chart view it is showing the table as "Entry" only.
The requirement is what all columns are required for the project plan, manager will insert in the project first time. Next time on-wards it needs to be display the columns when opened the project from server by default.
We are unable to reproduce this issue in our Dev Envt.
Could anyone of you please help me.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I suggest to remove Gantt Chart view and Entry table from Eglobal. These are default views from client and it is highly recommended to not use them in Enterprise Global.
Whatever a user ist doing on a view or table which is included in Enterprise Global will be reset on next open - therefore you receive this message.
If you need some server wide defined views and tables, create them. But remove Gantt Chart and Entry.
Does that help?
Regards
Barbara

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Check against country-specific edit format

Hi All,
Currently for VAT registration number, settings for VAT registration number using transaction code OY17 is as follows,
Length: 9
Checking rule : 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format
Now the user wants to enter a registration number with a different format which SAP is not allowing to enter. The length of the number is 9. But it is still not accepting. Country is ES.
Can anyone let me know the relevance of the checking rule 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format. How the system validates the VAT registration number.
Please help.
Thanks,
Aman Goel

Hi All,
Does anyone has idea about this?

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,

Convert video files to editable format to use on PrPro CS4

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 v4.2.1 (I can't use CS5 because I have a 32-bit system). I'm running it on HP Pavilion dv9750, Windows 7, 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500, 2GB RAM (DDR2) and NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.
I'm planning to create a clip of about 4-5 minutes, that would be projected on a big screen. My sources are photos, WMV (from Windows Live Movie Maker), MOV (from iphone 4), and MP4 files. I must use these sources. I'm aware my computer is pretty weak, but that's all I have right now. I know I should convert these files to a more editable format. Which one would you recommend? I'm using Xilisoft Video Convertor Ultimate 6 to convert my files (Maybe there is a way to do it through PrPro?)
I was thinking of creating the project in 9:16 ratio. None of the files are in HD, so maybe I should create it 720p quality? Which preset would you recommend? Which output would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!

There are a number of video apps available in the iTunes App Store that can easily handle those videos without any need for conversions. Do a search in the iTunes app on your computer for the file types and it will show video apps that can open those file types.
If VLC 2 ever makes it to the iTunes App Store, be sure to grab it, it will be free, I use VLC 1.1 on my iPad for avi files, but it is no longer available in the iTunes App Store.

Problems with files saving in a quicktime format

I am having a problem with files from several programs in my adobe CS6 Master Collection saving in a quicktime format. I am running a Windows7 PC. It appears to be happening in both photoshop and fireworks from what I can tell. Does anybody have any idea why this is doing it and how to fix it?

Fireworks doesn't save or export in Quicktime format.

"The rasterized image exceeded the maximum bounds for saving to the PNG format"

Hi everyone, I'm using Illustrator CS4 and encountering the following problem:
I made a level map in illustrator that exceeds 10000x10000 pixels. When I try to export the image as a PNG, I get the error "Could not complete this operation. The rasterized image exceeded the maximum bounds for saving to the PNG format". I tried saving in JPG and others as well, but got similar errors.
How can I get around this?

Here is an interesting discussion: http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/735556-png-maximum-dimensions
-- although the dimensions there are way larger than your paltry 10K x 10K. It appearts not to be a limitation of the PNG format, but solely from the software used.
Here's a question. What on earth do you think you need 10K x 10K PNG files for?

I need to digitize VHS movies to an editable format to iMac.

I need to digitize VHS movies to an editable format to Mac. I've tried the Elgato Video Capture but it only works if you use it with the software that only export in mp4 format. No editable format. I need to make adjustments and cut it afterwards. I have an iMac 27 "2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 and OS X 10.8.3. IMovie '11.

I would suggest using your ElGato.
Record the video in MP4 or h.264. They should be roughly equivalent quality since h.264 is more efficient.
These will import and edit directly in iMovie.
Normally I recommend that you convert mp4 video in HD sizes to Apple Intermediate Codec before editing, but this is standard definition video so it may edit just fine as is.
If you want to convert to Apple Intermediate Codec, there are two ways. (Three ways if you have the EyeTV 3 software).
1) Convert it using the EyeTV 3 export menu.
2) Import to iMovie and choose Optimize - Full
3) Drag the MP4 into MPEG Streamclip (which is a free app) and use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec for the compression. Then add to iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
The alternative are the Firewire-based DACs from Grass Valley. They will convert to DV, and in my experience do not produce enough qualtity difference to justify spending several humdred dollars more. After all, the original VHS is roughly 400x300 pixels, so it is never going to look like DV from a DV camera.
Personally I use the EyeTV Hybrid with the EyeTV 3 software. I do not know for sure, but I assume the EyeTV Video Capture is very similar, but without the TV Tuner.
