Settings for a 1280 x 720 video (720p) that doesn't look like garbage?

I've been toying around for a while, but I can't seem to find a decent method to render my 1280x720 video that doesn't look like crap.
I've switched between several video types (mainly avi and mov), but I can't find a suitable method.
I am a total noob to this stuff and though I'd prefer to use a .mov or .avi file (since any PC can pretty much play them), I need some good setting to output a quality video.
All of this stuff about bitrate/pixel type/etc, I just have no idea what I'm doing.
I appreciate any advice.

See: FAQ:What export settings should I use?
You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
Cheers

Is there a video player that doesn't use temp files?

I need to find a video player that doesn't leak anything to the disk when playing files. The swap is already encrypted so that is no big deal. I view confidential client videos from a truecrypt encrypted disk.
Thanks

OK, that's good. A portfolio is essentially a master document with file attachments. It obviously has special functionality, but you can have similar functionality using a standard PDF as the master document and adding the other PDFs as attachments. The Attachments pane allows you to search the attached files and you can provide links to individual attachments in the master document. For example you could set up a series of buttons (with spiffy icons) that link to the attached documents so that they will open when the buttons are clicked.
So you could go through the trouble of preparing a portfolio proper as well as the type of document described above, or just the latter. As Steve mentioned, the future of portfolios is in doubt and they are not supported outside of Adobe PDF viewers, so you might want to go with this alternative exclusively.

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the text messaging app, that would be a huge flop for apple. It has to look and feel like bbm or it will just suck.

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the current text messaging app, that would be a huge flop. I think I should look and feel like the bbm to make any kind of significant impact. Am I wrong?

"iMessage in iOS 5 brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to all of your iOS devices―iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Built right into the Messages app, iMessage allows you to easily send text messages, photos, videos or contact information to a person or a group on other iOS 5 devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. iMessages are automatically pushed to all your iOS 5 devices, making it easy to maintain one conversation across your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iMessage also features delivery and read receipts, typing indication and secure end-to-end encryption."
That is from the Apple site. If all your friends have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you cang share with your friends, with is exactly like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM only works on BBs).
And it does look just like the current message format. You can also find that at www.Apple.com

Best Settings for YouTube's HIgh Quality Video

I see YouTube has a new "high quality" video option that uses H.264 video at 480 x 360. If I want to take full advantade of this format how should I build my videoo to upload? I assume I should use H.264, but Premiere doesn't have an option to do so at 480x360.

After numerous trials and extensive searches on forums (with solutions way too complicated for me) this is my recipe.
(After upgrading to PE 7 I hoped that PE would do the trick, but no.)
1. Premiere Elements.
Export ("Share") to harddisk, DV-AVI, 4:3 or Widescreen doesn't matter.
2. Windows Movie Maker.
Import this AVI-file. You won't need to change or edit anything.
Just "publish" (to disk) in
WMV-format, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
3. You Tube.
Upload to YouTube.
Then wait (approx 10 min. per minute movietime) until the uploaded movie is released and online in high quality.
Happy uploading!
Max size is 100 Mb; but there are work arounds for that too.

I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
Thank you.

That is probably OK. 
You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

Music Video does not playback it looks like a white negative!!

Please please help...I have downloaded itunes7 and now I cant watch any of my new or old music video's...the music plays but the video looks like a white negative...you can make out the faint outline of people and things moving but nothing else??????????????
Windows XP

I read a solution somewhere that worked for this music video problem, that was before i gave up on my music skipping and reverted back to i-Tunes 6 (so music no longer scratching but videos not working without delay/skipping.)
Anyway the solution was, Quit i-Tunes, select start menu -> control panels -> quick time. Click on advanced tab, uncheck box next to enable direct 3D video acceleraion and then open i-Tunes
Hope that helps you

I have downloaded updates for Firefox but my browser doesn't look like it should, no single menu button etc, how do I get it to look like your demo?

The last few times I have been prompted to update my firefox for desktop, my browser has not looked any different even though I get notification to say updates completed successfully. When I update firefox gives a demo of new features and how my browser should look, mine has not looked like the demo for the past few updates. It's annoying because I really like the look of having just one menu button. How can I change the look of my browser?

The Firefox button displays by default only in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You '''''can''''' have it display in Windows XP
'''Menu Bar''' 
*right-click empty space at the end of the Tab Bar, click "Menu Bar" to place a checkmark
*Menu Bar checked = Menu Bar on; Firefox button off
*Menu Bar un-checked = Menu Bar off; Firefox button on
*Other methods of doing the same:
**click Firefox button > Options, click Menu Bar
**Quick toggle Menu Bar on/off: ALT+V+T+M
To have the Menu Bar '''''temporarily''''' display when the Firefox button is on, press the ALT key or the F10 key to make the Menu Bar appear and use your mouse to make selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar. Why would you want to do this? The selections available are different.

Project settings for mixing AVCHD and iPhone video

Hello,
It seems that getting the correct project settings is imporant to Premiere, but what if I would like to mix AVCHD video with iPhone 3GS video? Which project settings would I select in this case?
Thank you.

This question aroused my curiosity and I tried mixing 1080i AVCHD and Nokia phone .3gp video on an 1080i AVCHD timeline in PE8 - the 3gp video played fine, the AVCHD video needed the timeline rendered to give a decent quality playback. I realise that's different from iPhone video, but I'm simply suggesting that it's worth trying, and that project presets don't necessarily mean that only the preset file type will work.
I have to say that this whole project settings thing is a mystery to me. Why does a 1080i AVCHD preset make a better job of playing back 3gp video from the timeline than it does playing back 1080i AVCHD? Weird. Why not just handle all that in the background (eg without asking the user for any settings at all, like one NLE here does, or simply setting the timeline to the first clip of the project (optionally) like another one here does?
As for the comment earlier on about background rendering - here (after a day or so) it seems to be not a very useful thing. Much grinding by the CPU for a very slow result. To get the timeline to play smoothly it's much quicker to position the work area bar as required and hit "enter". Also, one has to watch for the new analysis process, which once started seems to create an everlasting CPU intensive process even if you cancel it. You have to keep a sharp eye on the process manager and see what's consuming CPU cycles (if you don't know already) and kill any apparently rouge Adobe-related processes by hand. "Bmem" is your friend here, which is about the first thing I install on any PC of mine - badmofo.org/bmem is the site for this excellent freeware app.

Best Quality Settings for a 24pa 16:9 Video

Need DVDSP setting for best quality 10 minute DVD shot with canon xl2 24pa in true 16:9. Exporting from FCP to compressor. Cand seem to get DVDSP to recognize 24p. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your response. After exporting 24 pa sequence from FCP, using compressor 90 minute 16:9 2 pass (dont see a 60 minute in Version 2) - asset displays as 29.97 - not 24. Also - there is no setting for just 16:9 - its either letterbox or pan-scan.
How do I know if DVDSP is importing the asset as 24p. Also - letterboxing still appears which indicates to me that DVDSP is not recognizing the true 16:9 shot with the xl2.
This is a great 10 minute production shot in 24pa- want to get the best quality possible to be compatible with most popular DVD players. Looks ok - but not what I expected.
Thanks for your help.

I can't get into the settings for fonts. How do I do that to change the font size?

I had downloaded the latest updated version of Firefox and I ended up syncing it to my Android phone. I went into some kind of settings dialog and accidentally changed my font and text settings and now I can't read any of my Gmail that's in my account on my desktop computer-it's too small. I'm trying to figure out how I can get into the content settings (I have the print out of what I'm to do once I get into the 'options' on the content settings page, but I don't know how to bring up the content settings menu/page). I use my desktop PC for work purposes and I can't use it with the font and text settings the way they are now. I also read where questions are being answered, but no one knows how to find the answers to the questions people are asking. How do we get to the answers that people give us about the question we have asked?
I hope you can help me ASAP so I can change what I need to ASAP. I work on my pc 24/7 for work and it's not helping me when I can't read emails and I can't fix the problem.
Thanks!

Hi!
I followed the directions that were given to me in this forum. The only difference on my desktop PC computer after you click on the three lines at the top right of the screen after signing into your g-mail account, it will bring up the menu and you click on the 'Options' tab. I'm on G-mail and I'm running windows 7 Home Premium; there wasn't a preference tab and the percentage was already set at 100%. It takes you straight to the options menu. You then click on the 'Content' tab if it's not already open, change your font and font size to what you want, and then click OK. It reset those items for me and now I can read my emails. I noticed if you change the font type and size to something other than Times New Roman-size 16 (default font & size), you may have to change the size of font to a higher number (i.e. Arial-18 font size). You just have to adjust them for your preference if you want something other than Times New Roman-font size 16.
Thanks for the help and info. It worked.

Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem. That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades. So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable. Enough with my complaints...
Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO? I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it. More can be read on it at:
http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system? I have two video cards, the article says to remove one. Has this worked for anyone? Can I use dual screens with the one video card. Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix. For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7. 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox.

I am getting annoying popups from a site in Spain claiming Firefox recommends I download an updated video player from them. Looks like SPYWARE! MAKE IT STOP!

It explains things on my end. I hope you guys are not in on this. It's intrusive and rather pushy at that. I don't feel I should have to download another video player. The name of the company is updatevideos.com. I went there and it took me to api.adrenalads.com and then to mojopages.com!!! If some lumphead is trying to get over on me , I ain,t buyin'!!!
THANKS, Andy

Hi rimshot69, did you check for an extension in Firefox? To see whether one of those might be involved, you could try one of the following:
(1) Manually Disable ALL nonessential and/or unrecognized extensions on the following screen. If in doubt, disable:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then restart Firefox using the handy links provided for that purpose and see whether the messages stop.
(2) Test in Firefox's Safe Mode
That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Any difference?
You also may want to run some supplemental scans. These three tools are highly regarded (and free):

13" (2010) MacBook Pro Display settings are showing a second "built-in" display that doesn't exist

I have a 13" mid-2010 MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.10.2
I also have an LG 23MP75 monitor attached, at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (60Hz) using the display port to a VGA adapter. This is my standard configuration for in the office.
When I attached my laptop this morning, and logged in to my user id, my monitor wasn't in it's normal "location" -- that is, I couldn't drag the cursor to the left off my laptop desktop and onto the second monitor. I opened up my System settings and discovered the most unusual monitor configuration I've seen...
What makes it unusual is that I don't have a third monitor attached.
The left-most screen is my laptop, the right-most screen is my external display, and the centre "screen" shows as a "Built-in Display" at 1536 x 2048 resolution.
I have unplugged and re-plugged the display adapter; I have detected displays (with and without the external monitor attached). I haven't yet rebooted (as I wanted to get screen shots in case the problem "goes away.") and the centre display persists.
I can rearrange the displays, and put the external back to where I normally have it, but that ghost display still sits there.
I have had minor problems in the past, when I switch from my external monitor to a projector and then come back to my monitor - the MacBook doesn't always remember the screen resolution and I've had to Detect Displays, and sometimes reset the resolution manually. But it's a minor issue; given that I'm swapping external devices in and out while my computer is asleep, it doesn't surprise me.
I have used iScreen in the past to extend my desktop onto my iPad, but the iScreen preference is currently turned off AND I'm not using my iPad, nor is it currently on the same wifi network as my laptop (on a hunch, I turned off my wifi, but the ghost display persisted).
Two questions:
1) Where did this "ghost display" come from?
2) More importantly, how do I get rid of it?

Can I Import H.264 Video Without it Looking Like Garbage?

I realize that FCE is made for DV, but I've got some nice footage (shot in BetaSP and digitized in a pro edit facility) that I want to import. The original looks really great, but whenever I import into FCE or transcode to DV using QT Pro, the footage degrades so badly that I can't believe it - it's truly not usable.
My clips are currently in .mov files in H.264 (720x405 res). I have to be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated!!
MB Pro 2.2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2GB/160MB

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert it to Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC or Apple Intermediate Codec. I did this recently and the results were very good.
