Settings for sharpening 1ds MK3 files

Can anyone recommend sharpening settings in Aperture for 1ds mk3 files. Canon has recommended sharpening settings for PS but does not provide them for Aperture or other software.
Thanks

I leave the RAW conversion settings as-is. For edge sharpening I often leave as-is but sometimes increase the amount. I rarely touch the radius or falloff.

Settings for a sequence with files of various formats

Hi,
I wanted to know your thoughts about the sequence settings (screenshot attached) for the list of cameras detailed bellow:
XDCAM, RED, Sony F5 RAW, C300, Canon XF105, Sony FS700 (AVCHD), 5D MK2, 5D MK3, Gopro, iPhone as source material.
Will the files of these formats play smoothly in the output file when placed in one sequence with the given settings? Thanks.

IF all your source footage from the listed cameras is at 25 or 50 frames per second, then all motion will play smoothly in a sequence with those settings. If you incorporate other (non-PAL) frame rates, the addition or subtraction of frames may be noticable with any motion.
Those sequence settings are very good to start a PAL project.

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 loading from FLat File in BI7

Hi guys
i am trying to load data from a csv file. i used MS excel to create this cvs file. now in BI-7 what settings do i need to use to load the data. i need info like "Seperator" and "Replacement for Blank".
i have already tried ; and , for seperator, but the preview is all messed up.

Hi Adnan,
First you create a source system for flat file loading.
Do this in RSA1 - Source Systems. Via context menu, create it in node "File".
Then, goto the RSA1 - Datasources view. Choose the corrrect source system.
Create a datasource and assign fields.
Use your datasource to load data into infoobject, datastore using a transformation between the datasource and datastore.
Create and schedule an infopackage to load to PSA.
Create and schedule a DTP to load into target.

Best MPEG Streamclip settings for exporting a .mov file? Please help!

Am really stuck... I have a 1.6GB VOB file (which also exists in copy as a 2GB and a 1GB .mov file). I need to make a quicktime copy of the movie to upload online, but the maximum limit is 500MB. Because it's for a contact for a film festival, it needs to be as high quality as humanly possible, but has to be sent online. What precise settings should I use? I'm in the UK. Can anyone help me? Would be seriously grateful.

We don't care how big the original is; it is the length that matters. Take your limit of 500MB and multiply by 1024 to get megabits. Divide that number by the length in seconds of your movie. That is your bitrate in megabits per second. Duplicate one of the best-quality presets and change the bitrate. Make sure all the high quality options are on.

Firefox will not recognize when I change the settings for .torrent and .rar files to "do this automatically for files like this from now on", EVEN AFTER I change the setting in Tools Options Applications.

Um, why is this? I think my Question pretty much covers it. Is there a way I can fix the settings so Firefox automatically opens .torrent files and .rar files with the programs I tell it to always use?

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive a reply to this problem. As far as I can tell, there '''is''' no reply or solution to this problem so far, as I have exactly the same problem too.
One solution that I did try (and which worked, but not for my exact needs) was to tell Firefox to ''always'' '''save''' the torrents to the download folder. Then, in your personal torrent program, change the settings so that torrents from the download folder are automatically searched and added. In this way, torrents are automatically loaded in your torrent program. However, for me, I need to see the contents of the torrent before I download it all, which wasn't possible with this method. If that isn't important to you, this should be a sufficient solution.

Whcih codec/settings for best quality, smallest file size?

Hi,
This is probably a really frequently asked question, and I apologise for that.
I've been searching for an answer and the only information I can hastily find is at last a year old, some stuff dating from 2008
Forgive me - even though I'm studying media, I have no idea about codecs or the best ratio to use or anything.
Basically, I need some advice over which settings to use on my video. The work needs to be a really high quality, as it will be displayed on a projection screen for an exhibition, but I'm sending it over the internet, so I need a compromise between file size and quality.
One of my tutors has told me that I should always be using the ProRes 422 codec, but when I use that, and export the video in 1080p, it comes out at 3.5GB which is just ridiculous.
It has to be sent off ASAP, as the exhibition is on the 21st.
If anyone has any advice to me, that would be amazing.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, thank you so much for your reply.
It's a college project, and the person we were working with is a Doctor in sound. We had to record environmental sounds and create soundscapes for them. As media students though, we were told to make animations, or videos to accompany them. My video is just some of my photography, with some titles, and an AIF music file. Sound is his thing - he wouldn't know what settings I should use.
The project is in 1080p 25 frame. I asked my one of my tutors, and he told me I was right in exporting it as ProRes 422. I used the Adobe Media Encoder and the youtube setting, which has taken a copy of the file down to 177.5MB and I'm burning a copy of the 3.5GB one on to disk in hopes I can get it there somehow.
It's all a bit vague to be honest. My friend's project is 1080p. I'm pretty sure it's the standard size we use for all our projects. The projectors should be set up to handle it.

How do I change my settings for opening a PDF file?

Currently I can't just OPEN a PDF file I must save it and then I can access it. It once got saved accidentally to automatically save instead of opening straight. In some cases though it cannot be viewed this way. How do change it to open straight?

To change from using the built-in PDF viewer to your PDF reader plugin:
From the Firefox menu choose Tools>Options
Select the Applications panel.
Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use PDF reader name (in Firefox).

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...

Need export settings for 1 hr HDV file from HV20

Hello,
I have imported a 1 hr tape of HDV, and I am trying to export it to Quicktime in order to have it be playable from my hard drive. The iMovie file is 42 gig, so this is impractical.
Any suggestions as to which codec (I have tried H.264 but can't get it to go through.) and which settings in order to produce a roughly 5-10 gig 720p file that looks reasonably well?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Ken

Compression quality really depends on the type of video that you are trying to compress. If the video is full of motion and noise, it will be very hard to reduce the file size through compression without massive loss. Compression is a trade-off. If you reduce the fame size to 480p, you may increase the quality of the video while reducing the file size versus trying to do the same thing at 720p.

What settings for exporting a master file?

Wondering what would be recommended to export as if you're looking to create a HQ master?

On the Mac, Apple ProRes is widely used for mastering.
On the PC, some common choices are Avid DNxHD, Lagarith Lossless, UT, or Cineform codecs. All of those are free downloads. They make large files, yet still much smaller than "uncompressed".
Check out my recent blog here for PC codec options for Premiere Pro users: http://blog.sharbor.com/blog/2014/06/mezzanine-codec-options-for-pc-video-editors/

Export Settings for best quality, smaller file size?

I have a one hour movie I made of a concert and exported it using Share --> Media Browser --> 720p. It came out great quality but it's 4.4gb's.
I need to figure out how to get that down to about 1GB while keeping 720p. HD movies in iTunes are two plus hours and only 3gb's from what I've seen. How can I use the same compression settings? There has to be a way to compress it a little more, while staying in 720p right?
What am I missing? TIA!

Is it possible to set a pdf file so that when opened it appears at 75% its full size (or so it opens to the size of the screen)?
Thanks

Yes. In Acrobat, go to File > Document Properties.

Settings for burning iTunes audio files to play on commercial CD players

Hello All:
Requesting your help in setting correct preferences in iTunes in order to play my burned files onto a regular CD player. When I burn mp3s they are only audible on computer. I have a number of voiceover files recorded in AIFF and mp3 from Garage Band. When I burn them onto CD I can only play them on my computer. Your help is appreciated.
What setting can I use to resolve this? Thanks!

Some really old CD players do not like CD-R disks (which you have to use to burn a disk!). If this is the problem then there is not much you can do however consider the following options.
1. Try burning at a slower speed 4x or 2x or even 1x
2. Try a different brand of CD-R disk
3. Get a different (newer) CD player
Certainly from what you describe you definitely want to choose burning as Audio CD.

Problems sharpening high ISO-files from Sony A700 in ACR 4.2

According to the reported problems with sharpening/noise-reduction high ISO-RAWs from Canon-cameras, the same issue seams to appear on ARW-Files of the Sony alpha 700.
Many of A700-users claim, that the pictures show a sort of watercolour effect. These effect will be the more recognizable, the higher the ISO-setting at the camera was. To explain what I mean, heres a 100%-crop of an shot at ISO 1600:
[sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
The writing seems somehow rough; there are a lot oft artifacts at the edges. Settings were:
Basic: Dynamic/Vibrance 0
Detail: Amount 33%, Radius 0.6, Detail 0 (!), Masking 20, Luminance 14, Color 10.
(The edges would have been much rougher, if I had set Detail to 25 (default) ore more.)
And here is what the Sony Image Data Converter did:
[sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
The edges are clear, I cant see any artifacts.
Now my questions:
Is this problem typical for the Sony A700 or does it appear to other cameras too?
How can I avoid this problem using ACR 4.2? I really dont want to use the Sony-Converter, because its slow and complex to handle.
Which are the best settings for sharpening and NR files from the A700 in ACR 4.2?
Please excuse my English Im German.

>[sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
Anna, you can't upload images directly to the Adobe forum, but must upload them to your own photo sharing site and then use a HTML link to the picture or the site.
If you don't have a photo sharing site, there are several free ones, such as
eSnips, and
Pixentral
If you need help with HTML, this site has a good :

Very interesting, Jeff. I'm sure you can't provide any further information at this time, but it would wonderful if ACR offered a full fledged noise reduction program such as Bibble does by incorporating the major functionality of Noise Ninja.
