Settings for Pal DV MPEG 4 16:9 25i with compressor

Hi,
I will neee some help. I need to sumit to a local TV in Spain a video on PAL DV MPEG 4 16:9 with 25I.
Enclosed pic of the actual setting

Yes you can make it PAL 16:9 25i but not in MPEG-4. There is only a very specific set of MPEG-4 part 10 that will make standard definition interlaced at a high data rate. It cannot use the DV codec. I think only x264 will do it, and I don't know anything that will output that MBAFF encoding structure, maybe Episode, or as Russ said, Sorenson. It's a completely bastardize format that as far as I can see serves no useful purpose. Can't imagine why they want that, unless it's for some specific playback device that they're using to transmit from. Would be nice to know what this device is.

  • Broadcast safe effect settings for PAL on MPEG source

    Hello,
    I've been delivered a clip (shot on iphone ((29.97)), edited on Prem CC, exported as a 1920 x 1080 MPEG.
    When applying broadcast safe filters I apply two to an adjustment layer. One set to reduce luminance at 99 (IRE), another to reduce saturation at 99 (IRE). When this is applied I get some quite heavy artifacts on high luma sections of the video. In this instance an LED illuminated train timetable, making the destinations/times unreadable.
    I've not had this problem before, so I'm guessing it may be due to the clip I received being a 29.97 MPEG? Is there any way to resolve this?

    Hi Paulie_LL,
    Thanks for posting on Adobe forums,
    Please provide following information :
    What is the OS and version ?
    What is the Graphics Card installed on the system ?
    How much Ram do you have ?
    Do you use any external Hard Drive ?
    Are you using security software e.g. Norton, etc?

  • Way to find out settings for an encoded mpeg file

    Not sure if this is possible, but is there a way for compressor to tell me what the quality settings were for an mpeg file I already encoded? I just want to know what the avg and max bit rates were for the file.

    If you changed the settings of a preset and didn't save them, then I don't think you can. You can see what the data rate of the file is by looking at it in quicktime (CMD+i), but Compressor will only tell you what preset you used to encode your file (in the History window).
    If you saved the settings, you can look in the preset.

  • Settings for good/successful MPEG-2 I-frame encode

    I've been having problems with Lagarith throwing junk frames when trying to encode to an intermediary AVI; using Vista Business/Ultimate 64, DV sequence with mixed XDCAM EX and DVCAM footage and uncompressed AVI renders from AE. The bad frames happen randomly (though rather infrequently) and in any of the footage types, so it's hard to rule out any of them as the source of the problem. I'm just going to assume it's an issue between Lagarith and AME, and move on from there.
    Since I have quite a few timelines I'm exporting, and I'm doing all my end-product encoding in Squeeze as well as other apps, I need a good intermediary. I remember some talk on the board of using an MPEG-2 I-frame only 4:2:2 encode for this purpose; however, a search is not giving me much joy. So far, I'm having some inconsistent output issues with this format. Can anyone offer some advice as to good setting to use for this purpose?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I'm running 1.3.19. I thought it was happening on just my primary editing workstation, until I ran 10 encodes on my laptop and got the same random issue. I'll have to post a frame to show you what I mean. If it was repeatable, I could try and diagnose the issue, but the garbage happens randomly.
    I'm running the 64-bit version of the codec--at least I think I am. It seems to me that the installer copies the 64-bit version of the codec to the System32 folder, and the 32-bit version to the SysWOW64 folder. Also, if you right-click on the DLL and check the file properties, the version states as 1.3.18; the actual interface when you select Codec Settings in an app, however, shows 1.3.19. Very peculiar...
    Note that this only seems to be happening when exporting a timeline through AME. I can encode to an AVI from AE, and haven't been able to reproduce the bug.
    I'm trying to get some information together, and I'm going to try contacting the codec author. He seems very receptive to bug reports, based on the changelogs on the Lagarith website.

  • Format|settings for converting AVC MPEG-4 footage to import into project

    hi.
    so the graphic designer for my favourite band dropped a couple of ~1⅓ gig MPEG-4 Movie (.m4v files consisting of footage taken during concerts in 2000|2001 on a handheld digital camcorder) into my lap the other day—& asked me if i could clean it up & split the each show’s file up into segments short enough to upload to YouTube...& while i feel fairly confident i can swing that order once i’ve got the footage in Final Cut, i’d greatly appreciate some advice regarding...making it to that premise. um. basically, if i try to import any of these .m4a files into Final Cut, i get this error:
    screenshot → [http://s3.amazonaws.com/ember/67PNmuKRePVvWJfFudHiSKj7kr9PfgzI_o.png]
    so...after some preliminary investigation, i take it that i need to convert each of these files into a different format that Final Cut won’t turn its nose up at (—right?). which brings me to the crux of the matter:
    §1 · *what format &|or settings* (—compatible with FCP7!—) *would result in the least loss of quality in the process of conversion,* if the original file is as delineated in this screenshot (→ [http://s3.amazonaws.com/ember/AAd0FBegXjXLXqtas8f9xIZa0v0TvrO3_l.png])?
    §2 · *what program would you recommend i use to do this* (as yet hypothetical, albeit) *file conversion* (as prescribed in the answer to preceding enquiry)?

    hey, great! thanks for the absurdly-prompt response. looks like that’ll do the trick.
    though! a minor clarification, mostly just to satisfy my curiosity—
    there are five Apple ProRes codecs:
    · Apple ProRes 4444
    · Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    · Apple ProRes 422
    · Apple ProRes 422 (LT)
    · Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)
    i’m guessing that—considering this footage is shot with a consumer-level cam, & is only 720x480 besides—the Apple ProRes 422 will be more than enough, right? that’s the one i should be using...riiight? (i mean...i figure anything more than that would be overkill,—or at least a moot point, if the original file doesn’t have anywhere near the level of detail|precision that the more heavy-duty iterations of ProRes affect—) ...is any of this speculation on target?
    (i’m mostly concerned on account of the blurb about Chroma Sampling on page 7 of *Apple’s White Paper on the ProRes family* (→ [http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/docs/AppleProRes_White_Paper_July2009.pdf])—since i want to do some pretty hefty colour correction {probably the 3-way color corrector + desaturate highlights & lows filters...though that’s just a hunch} on all these files, & i reeeeeeally don’t want to lose any data that might improve the quality|accuracy|&c. of said corrections.)
    —& if it’s at all significant, i may be trying to use the SmoothCam thing on these as well...though this footage is so shaky & erratic i wouldn’t be surprised if trying to make it slightly less emetic is a nonesuch of a lost cause.

  • Sequence settings for PAL DVD output

    G'day,
    I'm cutting my sister's wedding video.  I have footage from 2 cameras - a Panasonic TM900 (1920x1080p50) and a Canon MVX430 (miniDV SD PAL "widescreen").
    The intended media is DVD.  I am using Final Cut Pro, and DVD Studio Pro.
    I've read that I should use a PAL CCIR 601 5:4 720x576 frame size, with PAL CCIR 601 pixels in order to achive widescreen DVD playback.
    And this seems right, as when I drag the HD and SD footage to the sequence, they both maintain their 16:9 ratios - with black borders top and bottom.
    However once I start playing around with the footage... zooming in (ie increasing the scale in the Motion tab), or if I re-centre the footage, moving it around the frame, those borders move around or are completely lost.
    Previously for this problem I have just used the crop function (with key frames as required) in the Motion tab, but that can get very painful.
    Am I using the wrong work flow here?  Should I be using an actual 16:9 frame from the start, instead of the 5:4 with borders? 
    Is there an easier way to maintain the borders?
    Hope this makes sense... 
    For the record, I do have some understanding of what I'm doing, just was only taught what I needed to complete the projects I worked on at Uni, so don't have a full understanding of all of the complexities involved...
    Thankyou
    cosmic

    >Should I be using an actual 16:9 frame from the start, instead of the 5:4 with borders?
    Yes. Make your Sequence DVPAL anamorphic.
    >Is there an easier way to maintain the borders?
    Why do you want borders? On a 16:9 TV the screen will be filled. You will only see the borders on a 4:3 set.

  • What are the settings for Primere Elements 9 if I've filmed with a Canon Powershot sx50 HS?

    I just got this camera and I want the best quality possible. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to fully know if the settings I try create that. I get a fuzz or noise on objects like if I'm wearing a black jacket it's like static. When I put the video on my phone which is an Android Galaxy s4 it converts it into mp4 format and I get much more clear results than on my computer which perplexes me. I did a lot of trial and error with my previous camera (JVC Full HD Everio) which I got the same results. My newer Canon should be leagues ahead of the JVC, but I really can't tell as of yet. If anyone could help that would be awsome. I have examples of my trials and errors from my Youtube videos which you can see I felt I was slowly making progress with the JVC Oppositeofhood - YouTube

    Then I saw your latest post
    Wait, I think I just found it. I pressed record on different settings to take pictures with like portrait to see if it would make a difference and when I uploaded them to my computer I found where it shows the BIt rate and it varied. They run at 23 frames per second 1920 x 1080 MOV video files and all the Bit rates are like 36,356 35,414 ,36,521
    If your camera is recording with a variable bitrate, the Bitrate variations from file to file should not be contributing to the issue. But it does raise the issue related to whether or
    not we are setting the appropriate bitrate level in the export settings. What are the units for 36,356, 35,414, and 36,517 -
    kbps (also can be written Kbps) and is kilobits per second
    or
    Mbps which is megabits per second.
    Let us try this for one of your 1920 x 1080p24 videos.
    Go through the following workflow
    Manually set project preset...
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p24
    When you go to export your edited Timeline content, then use
    Share
    Computer
    QuickTime
    with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9 - that is going to be customized to 1080p24 (H.264.mov) under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset
    The essential settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab
    Video Codec = H.264
    Frame Width = 1920
    Frame Height = 1080
    Frame Rate = 23.976
    Field Type = Progressive
    Aspect = Square Pixels (1.0)
    Now here is where we are going to experiment....
    Bitrate
    Check Mark next to Limit Data Rate to and type in 36000 before kbps
    note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
    Repeat the whole process but in export
    Remove the check mark next to Limit Data Rate. The Bitrate field will be disabled.
    note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • Correct Settings for Latency When Recording Guitar Direct...with Duet?

    Could anyone tell me what the idea setup is for the lowest latency when recording guitar parts through an amp plug in when using Logic with a Duet? And also for just recording live acoustic (with no plug in, maybe a bit of echo)?
    Thanks

    My question was dead serious: Why don't you try out different latency settings and observe? Nobody can tell you what your hardware will behave like, how you're monitoring and how much latency will make you happy.
    Your attitude is not exactly helping.
    Cheers,
    Jazz
    Sorry, but leaving a one line post that says basically "Try it and find out" is probably not what most would feel was a helpful reply.
    And on the contrary, a lot of people use the Duet, use Logic, and are guitarists, so sharing what they've found successful is a reasonable expectation, I think.

  • After Effects CS5-best settings for rendering many large files after multiple passes with the clone

    I have a moderate level Quad core PC,specs below, with 24Gb of RAM.
    I am processing sequences of timelapse photos brought in from Adobe RAW as either a raw sequence at the original 5K res (Canon 5D2) or as 4K 16bit TIFFs. There are typically between 400-500 shots in each sequence.
    I use clone brush in AE CS5 to remove 'stray objects' such as birds, people or vehicles from frames.
    I can succesfully process these if I only have to clone out the odd object from a sequence, but occasionally I require to remove something on multiple frames. This might be a car that drove into shot and stayed for say 200 frames before driving away again.
    The clone tool lets me paint out the arrival and then the parked vehicle by successively using the previous frame as the source. However at some point, even with say 16-20 Gb set as the AE memory, the program will get choked and start to crawl. This knocks on to the final render, when I will get outragous times for rendering even single frames, say 3 hours per frame etc.
    I assume that AE is having to go back through many multiple source frames as the cloning that I have done is continually using the previous 'already cleaned up frame' as the source.So frame 150 is using frame 149, which used frame 148 etc.
    Observing the Resource Monitor as AE renders, I see not much Processor usage, tyically 20-30% but maxed out Memory. Lots of reading of files off disk, usually apparently 'random' Windows system files, but also lots or reads from the timelapse source files as well.
    I did get single render times down to 1 hour but then did more tweaking and haven't got back to anything better than 2.5 hours per frame since!
    Is there a better way of achieving what I want?
    My PC specs and set up: HP xw8600 with x5450 Quad core processor.
    24 Gb RAM set usually as 16 Gb for AE (3 cores) and 1 core with max 3Gb for other progs. Sometimes I have set this to up to 20Gb fror AE.
    Running Vista Business (yes I know Win7 would be better-but hey it's yet more money!).
    Nvidia GTX460 1Gb memory with Cuda 'hack'-which works well with PP CS5.
    Windows Page File set to about 20% more than Windows usually sets it to, on either separate SATA drive or dual with the Windows C drive.
    Source files on external USB 3 drive (pretty fast).
    AE render files on RAID 0 internal 7200 drive.
    AE output files to another external USB3 drive.
    Any suggestions for improving my set up would be appreciated, as I'm getting old watching AE render my projects!

    Is there a better way of achieving what I want?
    Don't use AE? Just kidding, but your own analysis very much covers the facts already. Yes, it's AE going back and forth in time and yes, it's the holding of those frames in memory which is chewing up your memory. Depending on the situation you may look into patching up your disturbances with masked still images rather than cloning across the sequence, but beyond that I don't see much potential to make things more efficient. It's just AE trying to be über-smart with caching and then making a mess. The only other thing is the RAW import, which may consume unnecessary memory. Batching the files in Photoshop and only using PSDs or TIFFs in AE may squeeze out an extra GB of RAM. On that note also consider doing the cleanup in PS. After all, PS Extended does support video/ image sequences to some degree...

  • MPEG-4 will not work with Compressor 3/FCP, but will with iDVD/iMovie???

    I don't understand this???
    I can import to iMovie and iDVD, but not with FCP/Compressor?
    I just burn a movie (MPEG-4) with iDVD, it took a LONG-LONG time, but it worked.
    With DVDSP and FCP, I have to open the movie in QT export to DV file, import to FCP - adjust, MANUALLY, within FCP for correct aspect ratio, render, and export to compressor. This is really complicated via the PRO Apps....isn't it?

    Wait... so you're trying to burn an MPEG-4 with DVDSP? Why not just import to Compressor, change the ratio there, export to MPEG2, and bring that into DVDSP? I don't get why you're exporting to a DV file or whatever. When you drop an MPEG4 into iDVD it's really just doing the MPEG4>MPEG2 conversion automatically.

  • Win7 and Reader X - default settings for ALL users/profiles

    I have a custom browser/app that opens PDF's within the app which can sometimes cause issues. I found that if I set Reader X to not open in the browser (Edit>Preferences>Internet - uncheck "Display PDF in Browser") that this does resolve most issues. My problem...when changed this only affects the current user/profile that's logged in. Potentially there can be dozens of users on these laptops. The other setting is when opening a PDF, I get the warning about Protected Mode not being able to be used due to the current configuration.

  • Quicktime Settings for Sequence

    Oh, I'm quite disappointed. Having worked with FinalCut Pro for many years on my G4 Macs without problems, I needed the new software for my new Intel iMac. I thought it would be enough to buy FCE, but I miss hardly the Quicktime Video Settings for the sequence, which made an easy workflow with different formats. A lot of material waits in HD Foto-JPEG, others in H264. Do I have to render all these clips into Apple Intermediate Codec before I can start editing? This is a real kickback. Or are there hidden tricks? I'm still using Quicktime 7 Pro, so the codecs must be there anywhere.
    Thanks for any hints!
    Ingolf01

    Thanks for reply. I found out that I'm able to edit by switching to "low" video playback settings, rendering follows anyway. No fun at all, as well as converting all raw material.
    But - no; I had always good results by matching the sequence settings close to the original material, since my camera is recording QuickTime .movs with Photo-JPEG compression. For future projects I can of course switch to AVCHD format, but it's no better quality.
