Using Pro Res 422 .mov files

I'm going to have my 8mm film scanned onto  DVD and/or hard drive into 1280 x 726 where the type of file furnished will be Pro Res 422 .mov.  Will I be able to transfer it to and edit it using Premiere 12?

You should be able to.

  • Sharing FCPX Pro Res 422 .mov master file with both Ps and Macs

    I'm using FCPX 10.1.4 on Mac OS 10.10.2. I want to put a FCPX Pro Res 422 master file on a data DVD so it can be read and poled on both a Mac and PC using Quick Time 7. I tried using Toast 12 to create a data DVD playable on both a PC and Mac but it would not open on the PC. Any ideas what the problem might be or an alternative way to do this?
    Thanks

    One additional possible point of confusion: I think you wrote (or meant to write)  "so it can be read and played."
    A playable DVD is a very specific standard of filenames & compression sufficient to fit a two hour movie into 4.7GB of standard def video.  Simply writing any video file onto a disc (maybe marked as "DVD-R") never creates a DVD that is playable in standard DVD players.
    Given that, you can transfer any file (up to 4.7GB) by writing it onto a data "DVD" disc.  However, as others point out, ProRes isn't windows-friendly (or good for small files) and just for seeing the video on other platforms, H.264 would be the right choice.

  • Apple Pro Res 422 SD Files

    Hey i was wondering what steps (if any) I can take to use Apple Pro Res 422 SD files in my older Final Cut version 5.1.4. Just wondering if there is some updates or codec I'm missing to be able to see the files with. Thanks for any help anyone can provide

    There is a decoder for ProRes...

  • Uncompressed vs Pro Res 422 (LT) as archival codec and as editing codec

    Hi -
    I'm working on a project where we will be capturing 600 hours of footage from Hi8 tapes. The tapes are in somewhat iffy condition so we're only going to get one pass with them and that's it.
    We've agreed with the owner of the tapes to digitize all of them for archival purposes, after which we will make a backup copy for us to edit with. We want to use Pro Res 422 (LT) as our editing codec, but there's some question about what codec we should use for archival purposes -- Pro Res 422 (LT) or uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2.
    Basically, the debate is, given that the Hi8 format retains a relatively small amount of data, is there a benefit in terms of quality if we archive the tapes in uncompressed, or will the quality be just as good if we deliver in Pro Res LT to the archive?
    Thanks!

    Because while we would prefer Pro Res as our editing codec, the people to whom we will deliver an archival set of the material may insist on uncompressed.
    Please -- no more questions about why I'm asking this question.
    What I am hoping for here is a brief, to-the-point comparison of the pros and cons in terms of video quality of the two codecs (but something a little more informative than 'filet mignon' and 'hamburger').
    I'm aware of the white papers, but I'd like to get the opinion of people with experience and knowledge who don't work for Apple who could boil it down --
    Is Pro Res a good codec for archiving material, and how much if anything would be lost if we delivered to the archival house on Pro Res rather than uncompressed?
    What argument, if any, can we make to an archival house that is leaning toward uncompressed that Pro Res will work as well for them? At the risk of answering my own question, would we be correct in saying that the image quality would be effectively as good with either codec (given that we're digitizing from Hi-8 tapes) and that delivering in Pro Res would save them a great deal of storage space?
    As a reminder, we're talking about 600 hours of Hi-8 footage here. Thanks.

  • Apple pro res 422 file consuming more space than usual

    hi everyone!
    I've been  working with FCP 7 since 2008 and at the same time I started working with Canon T2 from 2 years ago and I haven't had any problems with my FCP workflow files, editing and output used to be H. 264 based files until I started to  have problems with my hd DSRL projects. Recently when editing the audio went out of sync and  I was suggested to change the Quicktime video settings from FCP 7 to imovie (which is th application I commonly use to create chapters and share to iDVD) this worked perfectly. It was the  first time I which I had  to  change the Quictime Settings to Apple Pro Res 422 The Out of sync problem was resolved but the space consumed by the file was enourmosly ncreased instead. ie. A 5 min project usually would take like a 500 mbs quicktime  file  and now using the Apple Pro Res 422 this 5 min project went up to 5.3 Ggs!! And also the exporting process is taking forever!! For instance I'm working  with a 30 min project and the Quicktime conversion never ends. It's taking about 12 hrs and is not taking  more than the 20% of the process. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I need help in a extremely urgent way!  Thank you all guys! And best regards from Mexico!!

    >using the Apple Pro Res 422 this 5 min project went up to 5.3 Ggs
    That's about right for a ProRes 422 file. High quality video takes a lot of space. It's sufficient to use the lighter ProRes LT for the footage from your T2 by the way. Your MacPro can also have up to 4 hard drives for plenty of storage.
    Why are you using QuickTime Conversion?
    Exporting to QuickTime with current settings and self contained is the better way. Then you use Compressor to make your delivery format from that master. Compressor is faster because it can take advantage of multiple cores - FCP doesn't. It will also give you far more control and choice over the encoding.

  • Quicktime PRO-RES 422 Files... What is the best format for output in Adobe Premier?

    I have recently enrolled on a university film makers course and up until this point i have been a Windows user. At the university everyone uses Final Cut Pro as this seems to be the standard software, at least at my level. My question is this; I have a bunch of Quicktime Pro-Res 422 files and i was wondering what would be the best Adobe Premier preset to export it as, In order to achieve the best quality possible?

    You're going to have to clarify this a bit more. Do you have ProRes files you want to edit with in Premiere? If so, you don't need to convert them--as long as you have QT installed, you can edit them, even on a PC.
    Or are you saying that you've already edited, and now you want to do a final export for viewing, or for editing elsewhere?

  • Converting H.264 files to Pro res 422

    Hi
    I've been given some H.264 files (.MOV and .THM) that were dragged onto my harddrive.
    I want to covert them to Pro Res 422 to edit them in Final Cut
    I tried to create a droplet to do this by: FILE - Create Droplets and selecting the Apple Pro Res 422 option in the Quicktime settings folder.
    Is this correct? Or have I missed out a/some stage/s?
    Do I need to convert both the .MOV and .THM files?
    And how can I tell if the new clips are in the correct format?
    Thanks.

    If you import these files into Final cut just go to your sequence settings and transcode to APR.

  • Exporting FCE project to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ Quicktime conversion file

    Hi Folks,
    I have recently tried exporting an FCE project (HD 1080 16:9) as:
    1. Quicktime file
    2. Quicktime conversion using Apple Pro Res 422 HQ
    and noticed that the Pro Res file is 2Gb. larger than the standard Quicktime file.
    Does this mean the quality is 2Gb better? (it certainly looks crisp and clear)
    Should I be doing this everytime I export from now on?
    Any information much appreciated.  Regards.

    Transcoding your material from one codec to a higher quality codec will not improve the quality of your source material. You are always limited by the quality of the image prior to the transcode.
    If you have a pair of shoes you want to store, you can put them is a shoe box, or you can put them in a shipping crate - but neither method will improve the shoes.
    The shipping crate will just take up more space.
    The only possible advantage of transcoding your AIC sequence from FCE to ProRes would be:
    1) you force the need to repeatedly decompress and recompress the file  - ProRes will bear this better than AIC
    or
    2) you plan to use the file in an edit system that supports working directly in Pro Res.

  • Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export... no movie at the end of it

    I just let an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) export go for four hours.  At the end, there was no error message.  There was also no movie.  My sequence settings are for Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) as well.  What happened?

    were you doing a file:  export:  quicktime movie (NOT quicktime conversion) with current settings? 
    Have you done a search on your hard drives for the file name? 
    Was your target drive formatted macosextended?  Some pc drive formats have a file size limit which might have caused a problem.
    You might try doing a short export by marking an in and out in the timeline and see if that works.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

    I know they both should match. Question is, should I re convert the clips in mpeg using different size settings? Or should I change the sequence settings? how?
    Thanks A LOT.

  • Using QT Pro to strip .mov files

    I've connected my eMac to my pc via ethernet, so that I can send uncompressed .mov files to my pc, which has a huge HDD and a dual-layer burner, and burn them to dual-layer Disk there.
    I've been told that QT Pro can remove the "packaging" from a .mov file, leaving a pure dv video file, which can then be edited and/or burned to disk.
    Before I send away for QT Pro, can anyone tell me how to do this? Is it 100% effective? Does it result in full dv- quality burns?
    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Maybe "stripped" isn't the right word. KS pointed out that iMovie places video files in a "container" called .mov. Which is simply to say that they have the extension "mov".
    What he means, I guess, is that QT Pro can Save .mov files as pure DV files.
    If that's the case, then I don't need an answer to this question. I guess...

  • Specs for cutting in Pro Res 422 HQ

    What sort of system specs do I need to edit in Pro Res 422 HQ with decent non-nightmarish results? I'm getting a FW800 G-Raid drive loaded with a large (80 minute) Quicktime file in HD, Pro Res 422HQ. I'm running a 2.8ghz Quad Intel, with 8gb of memory. I also have a CalDigit S2VR Duo that I can move the footage over to if necessary. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks

    For having just thrown yourself off a bridge, your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are impeccable.
    You are correct. A ProRes sequence will not go to HDV. You must place your ProRes sequence into a new HDV sequence, render/conform, and print that to HDV tape.
    When you're going out via firewire, you pretty much have to match your sequence settings to your deck settings, DV>DV, HDV>HDV. Hardware capture cards/boxes by AJA & Blackmagic can up/down/cross convert on the fly, but not a direct firewire connection.
    So, use your ProRes sequence to create the DVD, and create an HDV sequence to archive it to a tape.
    And stop throwing yourself off bridges.

  • Pro Res 422 Project Stalls Compressor & Matrox

    Gurus, stuck on this one. FCP7.0.3 project with a series of clips edited into a 18 tracks from 90-seconds to 8/9-minutes. No big - just cleaned them up. The Inspector shows the clips to be "Apple Pro Res 422, 12800x720, 60fps, 141.86 MB/sec (lovely HD TV) and the Browser confirms (although the data rate does not show), and Pixel Aspect is Square. Dense, but good. 
    When sent to Compressor 3.5.3 to encode to Best Quality (2-pass) DVD, Compressor wants an probhibitively long amount of time, like two days. This on a MacPro eight-core. More specifically, a 90-second track would take Compressor better than an hour.
    When sent to Compressor using the Matrox MX02 with MAX H.264 hardware accelerator the same thing occured. It wanted 18+ hours to encode on the Mac Pro 8-core.
    It feels like there is a hidden process occuring -- some sort of other conversion that I just do not see. Adivce?

    Michael amd Shane, using Michael's advice to Export as a self-contained movie, I took a 1:53 1280 x 720, 60fps track in the Project and it made a nice 1.85 GB clip, which I then brought onto Compressor. I applied the Best quality DVD 2-pass, and it made the m2V file in elapsed time of 1:35 on the whiz bang MacBook Pro 4 core. Have not tried H264 yet. But here's an unusual thing I've discovered -- most likely the cuase of this hang-up:
    I went back to the FCP Project and transferred this same 1:53 track my usual way -- highlight the Sequence in the Browser, Control-Click, Send To Compressor -- and when it arrived in Compressor, the timing or the time code in the Preview screen hs a start time of 16:00:00:00 and an end time of 23:23:20:03 showing a duration of 07:23:20:04 on the same 1-minute-53-second clip. I have no idea why. Any guesses?
