Sending SD video for broadcast

I shoot news and want to send video to the local news station. I use Final Cut Pro and have tried exporting files using both Quicktime conversion and Compressor.
My problem; When I playback the file in Quicktime pro, there are horizontal lag lines whenever the subject or camera moves. Otherwise the video looks fine.

Welcome to the Apple Boards
Please do not hate me, but there will be some questions. Often more details on workflow and set-up can help point to answer a bit quicker (though of course some problems there is the instant answer )
Couple of things, first make sure you find out what type of format the station will accept before sennding it out
Second, what type of footage were you shooting/editing? Did you do something to the foootage in FCP? (Just checking to see if it is something in there)
What settings did you use to export the footage? Could be something in there. Also depending on the settings of the .mov and the computer, QT can play back quirky. Could be something in there. Was this all done on the MacBook Pro? What machine/specs? Did you use the Universal Binary versions of the software? Lastly which OS and QT version?

  • What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE?  H264?

    I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

    Hello,
    You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet.  H.264 is probably not it.

  • Preparing Music Video for Broadcast in Premiere and Encore?

    I am trying to prepare a music video for broadcast in Premiere Pro. However, the specs require audio (Ch. 1-2 stereo, Ch. 3 mono Ch. 4 mono). I can't find a way to do this in Premiere Pro. I seem to be able to do this in Encore - I can create four audio tracks.
    Problems so far:
    1. I can only import the stereo wav file onto track 1, and have to import it again on track 2. The stereo mix isn't spread across both tracks Left/Right. Will the stereo mix appear on the correct tracks when delivered for broadcast?
    2. I need to export the video as an mpeg 2 on my hard drive - not actually burn to disc. Can I export an mpeg 2 video file without burning to disc?

    I am delivering the master as an mpeg 2, uploaded by FTP.
    Here are the audio specs:
    Stereo Left and Right audio signals must appear on channel 1 and 2 respectively
    Dolby ProLogic matrixed audio (Lt /Rt) may be substituted for Stereo audio on channel 1 and 2 if desired
    Monaural audio may be substituted for Stereo on channels 1 and 2, but must appear on both channels and must be in-phase.
    Secondary Audio Program (SAP) if available, must appear on Channel 3, otherwise a mono mix of Channels 1 and 2 should appear on Channel 3.
    Descriptive Video Service (DVS) audio, if available, must appear on Channel 3 if delivered in lieu of SAP audio
    DVS must appear on Channel 4 if delivered in addition to SAP audio, otherwise a mono mix of channels 1 and 2 should appear on channel 4.
    So basically, I need a Left and Right stereo on Ch. 1 and 2. And mono on 3 and 4, because I don't have SAP or DVS content.
    I can create 4 audio tracks in Encore, then I import my stereo wav file and mono wav file. But when I drag the stereo wav file onto audio track 1, both channels of the stereo wav file are on track 1. I read in Encore's help files that (assuming this would be going to DVD and not an mpeg on my hard drive) only one audio track can play at a time. Each individual audio track appears to be stereo, but I don't know how they would each correspond with the requirement for Ch. 1 to be stereo left and Ch. 2 to be stereo right. As of right now, it appears that track 1 is both left and right, and I can import the same stereo wav file on track 2 seperately with both left and right audio.
    The specs I'm trying to meet are Viacom/MTV which is a major outlet for music video content, so I'm assuming their requirements are reasonable enough.
    As for making an MPEG2 from Encore without burning a disc, here is the format:
    Container: MXF OP1a (SMPTE 378M)
    Resolution: 1920x1080i (interlaced) 16x9 aspect ratio
    Encoding: MPEG2, High Profile@ High Level 4:2:2, 50Mbps Long GOP, CBR, 29.97 frames per second (59.94 fields per second)
    Audio: Uncompressed 2-, 4-, 12- or 16-channel audio, 24bit @48khz, BWF (SMPTE 382M). All audio channels must be contained within 1 MXF track.
    Not sure how to export from Encore - only options I am seeing involve burning to DVD or Blu-Ray.
    I really appreciate your help thus far!

  • Creating video for broadcast

    I'm about to start making some commercials for the company i work for.
    i've never done anything for broadcast before.
    most of the things i work on are for the web and for dvd.
    i'm using a jvc hd1.
    I guess i'm just asking for any advice that can be given...
    including how to get the best possible quality in every aspect..
    recording, capturing, exporting, etc.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks!

    Wow, Michelle. You are very professional in your practice. I wish more people in my market were like you. Although, I would like to modify some of her recommendations, and add some more of my own, too.
    First off, Michelle is right. :30 is not :30;00. It's :29;15, or 29;20 for me. However, with new digital video servers and automated playback units in Master Control rooms, even the big guns like Dodge, Budweiser and so on get away with :29;29. Since switching can be done on the frame level with computer controlled stuff, the margin of error is less. However, don't push it if you don't know what they have in the control room. Stick to :29;15, or :29;20 if you feel lucky.
    Thirty seconds of bars is a must. Record thirty seconds of bars at the beginning of every tape before you shoot. It will help during capturing later. At least :10 of a slate is good. Mine is about :13 (I have a special composited slate with a huge animated countdown that moves to killer rock music). However, with a countdown ending at 2, you can't put 10 seconds of black after that. I only put two seconds. Also, make sure you put at least 10 seconds of black at the end of the spot. Slates should include the client, title, version or revision if necessary, date, length, and names of important people (like editor and producer).
    If you use a cassette to archive your finished spots, put a "dirty" version with all the graphics, and follow it with a "clean" version, which has no graphics, and the music is placed on the left channel and the voice on the right (or vice versa if desired). I archive on hard drive using those rules as well. I also archive my bins, projects and sequences. The edit system I use for commercials is not FCP, so my bins and sequences can be saved outside of the project. This is helpful because you can always recapture your footage and recreate the spot if necessary.
    This brings me to my next point. DO NOT recycle MiniDV tapes. I've found that they fail quickly. Use a new one for each client, and keep all their footage on their own tape (or tapes). Include it in your operating cost, since they're $4 each. Doing this helps you if you have hard drive problems or if you need to change a shot in a commercial you made last year. Keep in mind the tip of recording bars for thrity seconds on each tape. If you need to recapture footage that starts 4 seconds into the tape, the process is a lot harder than if it starts 34 seconds into the tape. The second option is more automatic and it will make you happy. Another good idea is to record bars after your footage for thirty seconds. That way you have a separator between shoots. As long as the timecode remains consistent, capturing will never be an issue.
    That's it for now. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

  • Exporting Video B-Roll for Broadcast Use

    Hello:
    What format should I export my b-roll video in from an event? We're distributing it online via a download link but I want this file to be as easy for reporters to use as possible.
    Can someone explain the best process/format to export this in?
    Will Quicktime be best? If so what options do I need to select to keep the file large enough for broadcast use yet compressed enough to send via YouSendIt?

    Thanks. This might be a stupid question but how can I convert the output Quicktime from FCE to a MPG2? Are there any settings I need to check off?

  • Can I broadcast live video for 1000 users?

    Hi:
    Is possible, using Flash Media Server, broadcast live video
    for 1000 users?,
    how much bandwidth do I need?,
    What system requeriment is need for this load (in linux)?,
    What maximum video size and fps is possible to get?
    regards,
    Christian

    You should have no problem serving a stream to 1000 users on
    a single server (a dual xeon/2bg ram box ought to do it).
    Your bandwidth requirements will depend on the bitrate of the
    video stream. Multiply the stream bitrate by the number of users
    (plus 1 for the publisher), and you'll get your bandwidth figure.
    For example, if the video is published at 300kbps, you'll use
    about 290mbps for your 1000 users.
    For the video size, I wouldn't go much larger than 640x480.
    The flashplayer doesn't use the video card to render video, and
    redrawing the screen with a large video chews through lots of
    processor cycles very quickly.

  • Best encoder for broadcast SD video

    Need to encode :30 spots for Internet delivery from DV master. What is my best encoding setting to get broadcast quality SD at the smallest file size for TV stations to use? Also, what tools would be best used for this purpose? Currently own iLife 2006 but will purchase the optimal tool for the job.

    Several things you should consider...
    Using the quarter-size trick is not going to be acceptable for broadcast. But you are talking about a 30-second spot. In DV-25, that's about 95 Mbytes. On a slow (1 Mbit) broadband connection, that's a twelve minute download. The advantage to using the DV codec instead of compressing further is that while you have to move a lot more data, what you get at the station is identical to the original clip.
    You need to consider what compression format the station is going to use at the other end. Is this something you can control? Is this something you happen to know? If you can possibly use the station's native compression scheme, you will do everybody a favor because video does not hold up well under successive recompression. I saw a dramatic example of this recently. One of our instructors brought me a DVD containing a project that had been shot on Mini-DV. It looked great. I copied it back to Mini-DV so that I could import it into my editor, and it still looked great. I did the editing, then exported back to MPEG-2 for the new DVD, at the same bit rate as the old DVD, and it looked really horrible. Recompression is the worst thing you can do to video these days, and if you transmit in, say, MPEG-4 to a station that stores all of its clips as MPEG-2, they are going to get recompression artifacts.
    If you have the network horsepower to do it, I would keep the clips DV-25 if at all possible, in spite of the file size.

  • Best compression for broadcast video

    Hi
    I need to compress a very short piece for broadcast (5 sec, no audio). What is the best compression to keep it around 25Mb?

    It should be. 5 seconds at DV should be 125MB.
    If you have to get under 25MB, then I'd suggest getting into h.264. It should give you a very good output at 25MB, though of course not the same as DV.
    If you do use a different coded make sure to do it from a QT reference movie so your material doesn't get an extra DV compression.

  • Best FC settings for broadcast?

    Hello everyone,
    I am relatively new at this, and I am looking for a better workflow and FC/compressor/ settings for our productions, and to solve a sound issue.
    We use a set of Panasonic AG-HMC150P to capture external videos, so the footage is in HD (imported through ProRes)... sometimes we use our older Panasonic DVXs connected to a Tricaster to produce on-location multi-camera programs, and finally we record our studio programs on DV mini-tapes and/or recorded DVDs.
    We need to produce each program in two formats: DVDs, and Mpeg-2 muxed to feed our video server (Cablecast), which in turns feeds a fiber-optic transmitter to the cable company.
    At present what we do is import everything into a preset NTSC DV (3:2) 720x480 sequence (QuickTime Video Settings Compressor set at DV/DVPRO - NTSC) with 48 kHz- 16-bit audio. Then we basically send the finished product to compressor and export it to a standard best-quality 90-min DVD. We use that for our DVD copies of the program. Then what we do is grab the .ac3 and .m2v files created by compressor, and feed them to MPEG-Streamclip, exporting them as an Mpeg with MP2 audio stream; which creates the mpeg-2 file for our cablecast server.
    So the first question is this: is there a better/efficient sequence setting or workflow we should use? Should we use one sequence setting for DVD production and then copy the content onto a different sequence with different settings for broadcast/mpeg-2 encoding?
    The quality of the mpeg file (when played from the server onto our monitor) is quite good, although I am noticing a loss of quality when I watch the program on TV at home (some visual artifacts and occasional pixellations), but my main problem is sound crackling when the program displays lower thirds (occasionally), more pronounced when PPT files converted to jpeg graphics are displayed in the program. I am VERY careful to keep white levels below 90 IRE (or whatever the scopes indicate as being 90%) and apply broadcast safe filters (chroma and brightness). I keep my average sound level at about -12 dBFS with peaks not exceeding -6 dBFS (sound is compressed in SoundPro).
    Any idea what might be causing the crackling? Thank you for any help you can provide...

    I found the custom settings that I'd made from the DVD Best 90 minute preset and pasted them below.  I made these based on a screen shot that my client provided of an MPEG Streamslip settings window.
    Stefan, you should be able to start from any of the DVD presets in the Settings window.  Then click "Duplicate Selected Setting" (just below the Settins tab, 3rd button over) to add a copy to the "Custom" settings folder.  Select the copy, make changes in the Inspector window and then click "Save" (at the bottom right of the Inspector window).
    My settings were for PAL, but the same settings should apply to NTSC minus frame rate and frame size differences.  The key changes that I made were the number of encoding passes (I changed 2-pass to 1-pass) and the bit rate (the average bit rate and the maximum bit rate were increased).  Also, I was encoding from DV source which has the same picture dimensions at its MPEG2 counterpart so there was no need to change the width and height.
    After you've made your custom preset, encode a short test file and send it to the broadcaster to see if it's compliant with what they can broadcast before committing an entire program to it.

  • About to output my first project for broadcast - thanks.

    I am very happy to be in the final stages of my project, a 23'30" music show for broadcast here in the UK.
    We're essentially a small group of friends, very much music fans, making it for pretty much no money, and all pretty much self taught. Although - these forums should take a lot of the credit in getting this, um, editor, from someone who can cobble together a home video, to being able to get something on air. Albeit in our own lo fi ind of way....
    I've spent hours upon hours reading through these forums, not just questions I have asked, but anything and everything i come across that helps build my knowledge. And I never fail to be impressed by the knowledge and patience so many of you have - particularly you high volume posters - the Jim Cookmans, the Xs, the Andy Mees, the Jerry Hofmanns, and many more.
    So I really just want to say thanks, your time helping us out is not taken for granted. Least not by me.
    So to one last question, for this project anyway...
    I have my bars/tone, my clocks, slugs, timecode where it should be, checked excess luma and chroma and all that. I just want to know if there are any other housekeeping type procedures I should do and get into the habit of. eg - should I remove markers from clips that are not longer needed, or collapse Video down to one track, or that kind of thing, before i send it off.
    As always any tips appreciated..
    thanks again
    Hugh

    heee. deep breaths mate!
    ok. if you really want to simulate what you'll see off air as per a 14:9 version of your master then you have to simulate what CH4 will do it ... you have to give it a 14:9 crop in a 4:3 frame.
    take your 16:9 master and drop the 14:9 safe guide generator on it ... leave the guide turned on.
    now nest your 16:9 master into a 4:3 sequence and blow it until the 14:9 crop area, as indicated by the blue guide, is ... cropped should be 114% or so.
    turn on FCP's overlays ...see how, in this 4:3 sequence the built-in action safe and title safe overlays now overlay the burnt in guides on your nested sequence?
    what you are looking at now is a shallow letterbox 14:9 cropped version of your 16:9 master. that is what CH4 will do to your 16:9 broadcast for their analog terrestrial broadcast path ... and if you kept with the title safe then your keys should be safe
    if you want you can go back into your 16:9 master and disable the guide to remove the burn in on the nest, and then burn a DVD of the 4:3 (14:9) sequence. then watch it back on a 4:3 tube TV ... kind of pointless doing all this and then watching it on a 16:9 telly anyway!
    by the way, a few days ago I uploaded a new version of my guides plugin for download, with a bucketload of extra controls

  • Downconverting 1920x1080i 50 HD to SD for broadcast

    I am shooting and editing a programme in 1920 x 1080i 50 (PAL) using Sony EX3's and have to downconvert that for broadcast (720x576 anamorphic). I was told by a Sony specialist to simply edit the imported files as they come in after being wrapped as .mov files, which I have done very easily, running up to 8 streams in a multicam edit. I was then advised to drop the finished sequence into an SD timeline, drop a "shift fields" filter on to it to switch from the upper field to lower field dominance and render out before outputting to tape.
    This however does not work.......it does not resolve the interlacing in my output monitor. I output the file as a quick time at the current settings, then imported that into compressor to try and convert it to SD that way, but the preview window shows a huge amount of interlacing artefacts in the right hand pane. I only have two weeks before the shoot and edit and this is making me nervous.
    I am shooting motorsport events for TV so have to shoot interlaced footage as progressive does not seem to work too well with fast moving images.
    Any suggestions? I don't have a capture card and will be editing out to tape, although I can send the file to the broadcaster by ftp. There must be a simple answer to this, but the shift fields option does not seem to be a solution.

    So the Sony specialist was particularly upbeat about the Sony codec .. hardly surprising eh?
    +The xdcam ex codec does not require rendering when imported into the timeline+
    Indeed it does not +for playback+ ... but if you do anything whatsoever to your raw footage, +even changing the in or out point+ then it will need to be conformed before export (ie rendered) because editing with your Long GOP based MPEG HD footage changes the GOP structure of that footage and therefore that GOP structure which will need to be rebuilt for output. Needless to say, recompression from/to a lossy codec is never normally considered a good thing, and although your Sony rep may have waxed lyrical, the truth of the matter is that there is a quality loss. Whether that loss of quality is something you are concerned about is entirely your decision ... my suggestions to you were intended to be helpful in allowing you to preserve the maximum quality of your source whilst offering the best performance for your system. If you don't care to hear such advice that is entirely your decision.
    +The point about edius is ...+
    So use Edius mate, you are really very welcome to it, and you can set yourself up with a very nice Edius 5 / HD Storm system for an attractively low price.
    +Can I export a finished sequence back to an sxs card?+
    If you have installed Sony's XDCAM Transfer app then you can use the Export > Sony XDCAM... option in your FCP Export menu to export your piece back to your SxS card.
    Or instead of handing it off to your buddy you might try just changing your External Video / Video Playback option to output Apple Firewire and take FCP's realtime downconversion from the EX timeline straight to your firewire deck. Probably not great quality by that method tho. Or you could equip your Mac with the necessary I/O hardware to do the job ... such as a Matrox/Blackmagic/AJA/Motu device.

  • Why do not Apple send a fix for all fail´s / slow mac`s afther upgrade to Yosemite

    I have upgrade 2 of my Macbook air 11" models. Both have major slow functionality in allmost every programs. slow mail, safari, pages. Allmost nothing of the funksjonalitys can being uses in numbers. Slow functionality when jumping between programs. Allover i have BIG problems with mac for my first time. And why do not Apple send a fix for all fails there is after upgrading to Yosemite. When thousand of users have the same problem with major slow mac`s.

    Your machine is slow because you loaded a bunch of third party junk on it.

  • With newer MacBook Air, sending both video and audio to an LG TV works fine, but I want to send the audio to a sound bar attached to the TV.  Any way to do this?

    I am trying to get audio to play through the soundbar attached to the TV for great sound.  Works fine with Apple TV, but on the MacBook Air, system preferences will only find the TV speakers.  If I change the settings on the TV to external speakers (the soundbar), then I get no sound at all.  The HDMI connection does what it is supposed to do, providing video and audio, but the audio can only go to the TV.  I don't know if you can go backward and send only video through HDMI and then connect to the soundbar through the mini jack ports on the computer and the soundbar.  Any solutions will be appreciated.

    its important to do this in the correct order so the camera will be senced by the Mac and to prevent the Firewire connection from electrical damage:
    power down your Mac
    connect firewire from camera to Mac
    power on camera and insert tape in camera and play back
    power up Mac
    start QuickTime
    File > Preferences > record tab
    video source - select the camera you have
    sound source - select the camera you have
    quality - select device native
    the video should show in the QuicTime window
    a  green line below video will show presence of sound-it will play through the speakers if they are selected in system prefernces
    rewind tape and playback
    click on red button to start recording

  • Blank message when I send a video via a text message

    I got a replacement iPhone 4s last week.  Whenever I try and send a video (shot using the phone) via text message, the recipient (who uses an iPhone) gets a blank message, but are able to get pictures?  Do I need to check certain settings?

    I would say the carrier is compressing the file to send. Since the two of you are on Verizon, they might not do it on their system, but when they cross systems, (AT&T) they compress for reducing bandwidth. Why don't you send via iMessage?

  • What are the best settings to export video for Blip.tv?

    I have CS5.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
    Their suggestions are anything but helpful for Adobe:
    http://support.blip.tv/entries/344530-how-should-i-export-my-videos-fo r-blip-tv
    Thing is, I had Premiere Elements 8 and 10, which both had no issues with making and uploading MPGs, but Pro's settings are... well, I'd call them "messed up". Part of the issue might be that Elements and Pro ands unforgiveably disimilar in too many aspects (I'd argue 8 was functionally better than 10). Why are settings seemingly unavailable, or completely different? I wasted an entire day, rendering the same video in different formats, because Pro didn;t have the same available settings as I could with Elements 10.
    Regardless of my complaints. The question is still this: What settings should I use for esporting videos to Blip.tv? The answer never really gets answered over there, but I am asking there too.
    Ultimately, I'm sending MP4 videos, and they are absolutely fine on my computer, but are squished over there. So if anyone else has any more experience with Blip.tv, maybe they can answer it. They don;t seem to like Adobe/PC software much to care to give settings.
