Use high quality video setting available button

How do we keep this button in QT preferences selected/checked forever? It is deselected everytime I open QT player. Is it how it is designed?

Most G5's and all of the Intel Mac's are at the "high" end. G4's under 1.4 GHz are "old" in QuickTime terms.
The new H.264 Video codec requires a lot of CPU power. My nearly 3 year old Mac mini drops frames in any HD content over 480. 720 files set to 30fps give me about 24 to 26. 1080 HD gives me 12 to 15 and makes watching those file a wasted download.
My G3 400 can view only the smallest sized H.264 files.

  • Recording high quality video using a local buffer with FMS 3.5

    Hello, I'm currently working on a webcam recorder to record high quality video. I had the recorder working before, but the video quality was quite poor. Instead I'm trying to use a client side buffer and then upload the buffer after recording has stopped. I thought after I unattached the video and audio from the NetStream that either a NetStream.Buffer.Empty or NetStream.Record.Stop event would be sent when the buffer was finished uploading. What is actually happening after I start recording is two NetStream.Record.Stop events are being sent in a row, so recording never really happens. Also, on the server side I'm trying to save a user name and password into a variable, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since the application script is just a bunch of callback functions. I hope someone has done something similar so they might be able to help...

    Here is the client application; it's quite messy because I'm just testing things at the moment, but the functions causing the problem are probably onNetStatus, recordButton_clickHandler, and stopRecButton_clickHandler.

    Here is the server-side application, as you can see I commented out the variables and the code using them.

    I hope my code isn't unreadable. Ask me to clarify anything if you don't understand the code. Thank you.

  • FCE export settings for higher quality video

    Hello. I'm a self-schooled newspaper video features producer and relative newcomer to Final Cut Express, shifting from Premium Elements. I've just begun using it to upload videos to my newspaper's finicky web system, which will only accept .flv files of a certain size. My modus operandi has been to export my videos as large .avi files, using Quicktime conversion and DV/DVCPRO/NTSC, with medium quality, with 16 bit sound set at 32 Khz. Then I run that .avi through the Adobe Flash Media Encoder with a frame rate of 15 fps, deinterlacing and resizing the screen to 640 by 480. This procedure (outlined by our former video editor) produces serviceable web quality video (You can see video that results from using these settings at http://wvgazette.com/multimedia). So, two questions: 1) I have created an 8-minute FCE music video for my band and wish to export it at a higher quality (for use on Vimeo) than these newspaper settings. Which of them do I change so that a higher quality video results without waiting all night for a massive file to upload? 2) And wthere might I turn for guidance on better understanding the Sanskrit of FCE video export settings for newbies? Thanks for any help.

    The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
    1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
    2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
    3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
    Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
    Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
    Is that too big?

  • How to export a complex Keynote to high quality video for DVD?

    I have had dozens of attempts to turn a complex Keynote into a high quality video.
    Either they turn out disappointiingly way low res
    or they are very choppy with half the transitions gone
    or they Cannot make the video at all
    HELP.
    I need to turn this project in to my client today.

    If you use the DVD export in Keynote 3 with a self playing movie, the quality will be fine...just don't trust what you see on your mac screen, play it on a DVD player to check the quality. I did a test a while back and it was only the pauses that looked bad.
    Read about it here:
    http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=135
    pay close attention to what I complain about...it's just the slide pauses, not the normal motion playback, which means selfplaying stuff looks pretty decent (though never as good as the original, but that's the fault of the DVD format, not Apple).

  • IPhone High Quality Video Formats?

    In our app we need to run a video that is high quality. Higher quality than the settings that quicktime pro presets output at. Does anyone know of what format settings I can use to export a high quality video to play?

    I use 15 fps, because it looks better when used or converted into flash. If you just try uploading 30fps & 15 fps of the same file on youtube, you will see a change of the quality of the video.
    I have never used the broadband settings for the FCP compressor .. But I will try it out.
    my bad for the bump.
    and I know that there are tons of post like this, but I was trying not to get this post into a huge discussion. I was just trying to get people to just post their specs just like I have. Then we could have 1 post that answered all the questions of the specs of what people use & then people wouldn't have to search through everything..

  • Importing high quality video through a lower-quality camera

    (Final Cut 5 in a G5, 10.5.8)
    The camcorder I'm using to shoot video for my Final Cut projects is a Panasonic PV-GS400, a good 3-chip mini-DV camcorder that shoots high-quality DV (original price $1500).
    I would prefer not to use this camera to play the video into Final Cut, to save wear and tear on its tape drive (with tape, of course, one hour of recorded video takes one hour to play into Final Cut).
    I have an inexpensive little Canon Elura 100 Mini-DV camcorder (original price $400) that could be used to play the tapes from the Panasonic into Final Cut, but if I did that, would the higher quality of the Panasonic's video be degraded to the lower level of the Canon's video when passing through?
    To put it another way, can a Mini-DV tape with high quality video on it be imported through a relatively low-quality camera into Final Cut and still retain its high quality?
    Thanks for any help.
    Tom

    Thanks much, guys. Yes, I'm using firewire. Glad to hear there's no loss of quality when the video is strained through a lesser camcorder on its way into Final Cut.
    So now I'll go ahead and use the little Canon Elura as my playback/ingest camera with no worries.
    I appreciate the help!

  • 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.

  • Can the MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 2.0 GHz processor handle editing high-quality videos?

    Will  the 2.0 GHz processor version be able to handle editing/exporting high-quality videos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The processor can handle HD video editing without any issue, but the problem comes with the GPU, the Intel Iris Pro GPU.
    That GPU is a bit better than the Intel Iris GPU included in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it is still not good enough for serious video editing. If you make videos as a hobby or it is not an important task for you, the MacBook Pro with the Intel Iris Pro GPU may be enough, because it works with HD vide editing. However, if you need the best performance, you need to go for the most expensive MacBook Pro, that comes with a NVIDIA GPU

  • Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

    Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions?  The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi.  It is often highly pixelated and blocky,   Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

    The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

  • App to capture high quality video; clip; bulk export high quality?

    Our students capture long videos in a high quality format (.DV), then often want to define clips within the movie, and hand them off to Compressor for compression. Unfortunatly, with the changes in Final Cut Pro X, we can find no viable way of doing that, and we've searched for hours in the app and online. The closet we found was to export stems out of the FCPX timeline using Roles:
    http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/export-stems-out-of-your-final-cut-pro-x-timelin e-using-roles/
    For simply wanting to define multple clips (no combining of clips involved), this is rather tedious, but moreso, when we use this technique, indeed only the video and audio of the clips we hand off to Compressor is seen and heard, but we end up with video black on both sides of the clip, which greatly lengthens the processing time, not to mention that we then need to trim the dead air afterwards.
    We tried using iMovie 11, but unlike one or more previous versions, it is no longer possible to export multiple clips.
    We've downloaded Adobe Premiere, and will be testing this.
    Is there an OS X app that can capture high quality (.DV?) video/audio, make clips, then bulk export to .DV on disk, that doesn't cost over $500?

    Thank you, I'm exporting to DV now to try that out.
    I was choppy at my explanation, so let me go a little further. Maybe I do just use a DVD player to play this - but, let me explain further - maybe I'm not doing something right in creating the DVD.
    I 'shared' from iMovie to iDvd - and burnt right to a DVD. Again, the movie was shaky on the computer. We played it on a DVD player, still a little shaky.. but not near as noticable - it looked pretty good. BUT - this is when the dvd stopped. I hit play, and it picked up right where it left off. I also was skipping through chapters, and it stopped all of the sudden. I had to go back to the main menu to start over. This was all done on a dvd player. Eventually, we played the rest of the video and it went ok. But, something tells me there might be a glitch in the DVD I created.... ?
    Someone mentioned they had problems when exporting/burning right to dvd from iMovieHD. They said they exported out, then dragged the file into iDVD.. is that an option - if so, how would I go about doing that?

  • FCP Crashing When Printing to Tape Using Audio Follows Video Setting

    I'm trying to Print to Tape using the Audio Follows Video setting from FCP. I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck and a Mac Pro. I was able to Print to Tape successfully earlier today, and I have done it successfully many times before. Every time I try to Print to Tape with the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. Actually, every time I play audio from the timeline using the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. I have deduced that the problem must be with the Audio Follows Video setting, but I'm not sure what to do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    Well, what version of FCP are you running?
    Final Cut Studio 5
    How is your media stored? Number of hard drives, how full are they, ect?
    I have two hard drives. One is 250GB the other is 750GB. I have my applications on the 250GB drive. All of my media is on the 750GB drive. My computer is brand new, so I haven't even come close to filling the drives.
    What is the format of the media you are trying to send out to the DSR?
    I'm going Firewire out of the Mac Pro to the DSR11 to a Mini-DV tape.
    Have you tried doing a crash record?
    I would rather not do a crash record if at all possible. I know that is a back up option, but I also know that my system is capable of working properly.
    I really appreciate you trying to help me out on this.

  • My high quality video looks terrible in iMovie HD

    I rendered several files in Carrara into high quality .mov files, but as soon as I drag them into iMovie HD, they look terrible! They become much less sharp and more pixilated. I was hoping this was just while in iMovie to make it easier to edit, but when I exported/shared it at full quality it still looks terrible. help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    a. most probably there was a mpeg4 movie in Your .mov container.
    iMovie uses streamingDV (13Gb/h of movie)
    b. You might test with iMovie'08 course it handles more strange formats.

  • What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

    I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only.  I have two questions:
    1.  What should I use for the sequence settings?  Should I edit with a HD sequence setting? 
    2.  I am going to scan the pics myself.  What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality?  I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.
