Video size in Encore differs

I'm still learning more about video, encoding, and compression so you'll have to excuse me if this sounds elementary. I've rendered a bunch of videos in Premiere Pro and put them into a folder. When I imported the videos into Encore and put them in a timeline, I've noticed that they use up far more space than what the sum of their sizes would suggest. The videos total about 1.98 GB in the folder but when I put the Encore settings to Blu Ray, 50 GB dual layer disc, it says I am using over 5 GB of space. Is there a way to shrink/compress this or am I just stuck?

First, look at the project panel, and the transcode status and settings, both DVD and Bluray. This tells you whether Encore is accepting your file for at least one of the formats. If it is not, it needs to be transcoded, and those settings determine what size it will end up.

Why are my HD videos all importing with different resolutions?

Hi, I tried looking through like 10 pages of discussions on here and didn't see anybody else having this problem.
I have a Canon Vixia HF200, I keep the settings on MXP (highest quality 1920 x 1080). Every time I log and transfer my videos they import at different resolutions (everything from the same day will be the same), some of them come in as 1440 x 1080, 720 x 480, etc, when they should all be 1920 x 1080.
So, since some of them ended up being a completely different aspect ratio, I went into Motion>Distort and changed them all to 1920 x 1080, and I thought it was fine, but now I'm noticing that some of the videos look really out of focus (it seems like they get more out of focus every time I open it), so I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have stretched them....
I checked the original videos in the browser and they all say 1920 x 1080 now, when I watch them in the viewer, they actually look like good HD videos, but in the canvas they're out of focus...
I'm also working with multiple sequences, and when I copy videos from one sequence to another, it changes the resolution/aspect ratio/scale again, and becomes more blurry when I try to fix it.
So basically, I have a huge mess. I'm working on editing a documentary that I'm making and now most of the video looks bad and I'm not sure how to change it back. I even tried starting a new project and importing the original videos, but they don't seem to have the original quality.
Anybody know how I can either fix this or somehow replace the clips in the sequence with the originals in the browser to at least get some quality back?
Also, a lot of the time when I render, I come back to the computer and it says something like "Error: Illegal (something) render failed" and completely loses the rendering that it spent a long time doing.
I appreciate any help.

Hi Lisa,
Your 1920x1080 clips most likely import at their normal frame size, and then you placed them in the wrong sequence. Make sure your +File > Easy Setup+ is set to *Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60* before you create a new sequence.

Out of range output video size ?

Hello,
I would like to use a camera which has a large output size, more than 1920x1080.
When I select the camera, I've a message :
Out of range output video size
One or more output video width and height are out of range. Please provide video size in range 80x60 to 1920x1080.
Is it a limitation of FMLE or FMS ? (I think it's FMLE because the message appears even if the "save to file" is the only publishing format selected)
Is there a way to edit a confugration file to remove this limit ?
Best regards,

why don't you change that background to what you want in desktop system preferences when the second monitor is connected? different monitors have different desktop backgrounds and they remember the settings from the last time they were connected.

How do you increase the video size with a button?

I'm trying to set up a demo for a meeting. I want to show how
you can increase the size of the video.
Example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1532523169750528353
There are two buttons in the bottom right corner of the
player that will increase the video size.

I havn't tried this but I would thinkg that this could work:
If you have a video object on your stage (the object that the video
actually plays in) you could probably make a button that simply
changes the dimensions of it such as:
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_height, 240);
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_width, 320);
The movie should adjust to fit the screen, however if you
make the movie larger than or a different aspect ratio than the
original, it will be blurred or distorted respectively. Make your
original movie, therefore, at the largest size you want it to be
seen. Keep the aspect ration the same always.

How to increase the .avi movie size in Encore.

Hi
I have imported the .avi assets from PE4. When I playbacked the movie in Encore DVD 2.0, I found the picture size is too small so I want to increase the height of the picture. I tried using the scale up botton in motion option but it didn't work. After I scaled it up, the movie got a little blurry and delayed the audio.
Please anyone have any idea how to do that. I'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bank

Bank,
This is a problem, that needs to be addressed in PE. You need to work with Project settings (presets), that match your Assets, and then Export to DV-AVI (or DVD-MPEG2). Encore will not be able to edit the image/Video size. Only feed it DVD-compliant Assets.

Editing non standard video sizes

Hello everyone.
I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format. All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects. So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size. Surely there is a way of doing this?
Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not? You must be able somehow to do your own size?
Thanks

Thank you for replying.
Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web. Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size. I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

Multiple Videos in an Encore Project

Hi there,
I am trying in the last week multiple ways of make a Dvd Project with multiple videos.
I already have made 2 menus with 6 chapters each the problem is having 12 videos there without having the error "Size Exceed".
I read several articles and posts about this problem, the best way i found was using this formula 520/minuter = bitrate.
The problem is setting the bitrate when converting the videos because in total they only have 240 minutes what is possible to put in a dvd i think.
i already convert them to Mpeg2 and become more large in the mb space.
If anyone know i apreciate the answer and possible solution.
Cheers.

Hi there,
I try to combine all them in one, i already have try this way the problem was i only was creating a single file and not one for audio and other for video.
So i create 5 chapters in one track, exporting in MPEGIIDVD (.m2v) and Dolby Audio (.ac3).. ty for the tip of using LPCM but with that the video size become too much large.
This way building the DVD in Encore only take some minutes since i already transcode them in Adobe Converter. I already try this export in a dvd and is great.
The only thing that sometimes crash is when i'm making the chapters in Encore.. Until now i export 5 videos and its ok i will try to export with 10 and then 12 which is my prediction for each DVD.
I'm very happy about your answers they really help me.. When i have my project 100%i will come here and post something
Ty for all your help guys..
Cheers.
Hiya Fabio.
If you are only getting a single file then you forgot a setting somewhere to export to elementary streams and not a program stream. It's there - trust me on this.
The reason I suggested exporting to LPCM is to allow you to import your separate video & audio files into Encore & let that handle the transcoding.
Until you get used to bit budgeting, using the automatic settings is the safest approach.
Good Luck.

Premiere Video file To Encore

After capturing and editing video in Premiere Pro CS3, I want to make a video file that can be used in Encore CS3. Should I send the edited file directly to Encore and let it process it, or make an MPEG 2 file in Premiere that I can use in Encore? Will the video quality be any different?
Message was edited by: Michael Stehly

Michael,
I would also suggest Harm's method. What I would do would be to Export the Video-only as a DV-AVI Type II, and then Export the Audio-only as a PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit file. Import the DV-AVI as a Timeline in Encore, and then Import the WAV as an Asset. From the Project Panel (Encore), just drag the WAV to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place. This saves possibly have issues with muxed files, i.e. one AV file containing both the Audio and the Video.
Good luck,
Hunt

DynamicStreamingResource use will keep changing video size

We are using OSMF videoplayer and DynamicStreamingResource. Each time the videobitrate change will trigger video size change. I need the video to stay fit on the whole screen. I tried adding size change to the stage but I am must be doing something wrong because I can't see the function for the resize event being called at all.
The video source is RMTP and streaming 5 different videobitrates.
Is there an example on how to handle the video size properly when the video bitrate changes using DynamicStreamingResource?
Thanks!
sey

Maybe try resetting the media element's layout metadata whenever the dynamic stream changes (event listener)?

Can i create a multi audio video CD in Encore 5 (CS5.5)?

Hi All,
I was wondering, is it possible to create a multi audio video cd in Encore 5 (CS 5.5)?
Basically i have 5 music tracks that i wish to be able to be played as normal in a CD player, but i would like to add a video to that that can be played on a PC.
I have a few commercial CD's which have this (ie when they are inserted in a PC they open additional pc content) but i have a project i need to finish which would require this.
Is it possible? And how do i go about doing it?
Thanks in Advance :-)

You cannot do this in Encore, AFAIK - but I will have a look in case I am mistaken.
VideoCD uses MPEG encvoding but this is roughly where the similarity ends - VideoCD uses 44.1KHz audio, not 48KHz.
Commercial CD that have additional PC content are again different animals - the way these discs (which are called "CD-Extra" or "CD+") are normally created is in a multi-session CD creation tool. You create the audio content first, then when you write the disc you do not close or finalize the session but leave it open - then you go into CD-ROM mode and add the additional content, this time closing the session.
Such discs can be created quite easily in GEAR Pro Mastering Edition, or WaveLab. What OS are you running please?
You would need to prepare the content outside of the final authoring tool, and commercial CD can (and often do) use Director created content or Flash created content - the down side to Flash is that it will not work on a Mac. You can also create the videos in Quicktime Pro - simply load into it your regular full scale version, and then export for web - this will create 3 separate versions at varying quality (Smart Phone, iPhone & iPad are the references although all will work on your CD-Extra disc.
Please post back if you need more assistance

Using a function to change Netstream video size.

Hi folks,
forgive me I am new to script in Flex. I got an Application that has two scripted functions. The first is called at creationComplete and sets up a netconnect/netstream video playback. And a second that is fired when a button is clicked, which sets the application to Full Screen. What I want to do is resize the video at the same time. For testing purpose I am using hard coded values that match my monitor size.
The problem I am having is that the code I wrote to change the video size spits out an error "1120: Access of undefined property vid." - Is it possible to have one function access the vairibles of another function?
My code:
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function initApp():void
                var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
                nc.connect(null);
                var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
                ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
                ns.addEventListener(DRMAuthenticateEvent.DRM_AUTHENTICATE, DRMAuthHandler);
                ns.play("gm.f4v");
                function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void
                    // ignore error
                var vid:Video = new Video();
                vid.attachNetStream(ns);
                vidUI.addChild(vid);
                vid.width=851;
                vid.height=480;
                function DRMAuthHandler(event:DRMAuthenticateEvent):void
                    ns.setDRMAuthenticationCredentials("test","test","drm");
            public function goFull():void
                stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
                vid.width=1920;
                vid.height=1080;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
I want the function goFull to change the video size that is loaded from the initApp function.... possible?
Cheers!

Editing video in native video sizes - Premiere CS3/CS4

How do I edit with non-specific video sizes such as 640x360 which my still camera captures video to? Everything in Prem CS3 or CS4 seems to be preset editting size environments? I would like to edit the video in it's native resolution and output in it's native resolution.
Thanks in advance...............

========
That is what my feeble memory is telling me too: CS3 was per Project, and the "Custom" was called Desktop Mode, where the attributes could be altered to suit
========
thats how it works with my cs3... and as you need to match the source in that desktop mode ( and even choose a rendering codec )..its a good idea to use mediainfo or gspot and make notes about video and audio as necessary so that when you 'duplicate' that in the desktop ( custom ) settings you get the right project settings.

Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube. I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube. There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove. I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video. Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720. I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock. I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length. I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size! iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media. Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.

HELP ! Need to change video size in project sequence...

When creating a project last month I accidently created it as 1280x960 in the sequence settings, but meant to create it as a 1920x1080 which is what all the video clips are in size. Now I have this nicely edited project but need to convert it to a 1920x1080 in the sequence settings so I can export it as that size. When I go into the sequence settings now this option is grayed out and it won't let me. I have read many forums and they say it’s as simple as creating a new sequence with the right settings and importing the old sequence but when I do this it is still as 1280x960. So my question is other than re-editing this entire project, how can I take this current project with sequence settings as 1280x960 and change the video size to 1920x1080 (Which is what the video clips are originally and when I right click on the individual videos it says 1920x1080). PLEASE help, I am using PP CS5 !!! This is so frustrating !

Create a new Sequence with the settings you prefer,
then Copy > Paste the clips into the new Sequence.
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?
http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/how-do-i-choose-the-right-sequence-settings
note:
You may need to re-create audio effects that you applied in the Mixer
in the first Sequence, or you can use your first Sequence as a mixed,
nested audio track for the new properly configured Sequence.

Video appearing in a different location

Hello everyone,
I'm somewhat new to Dreamweaver and just completed a website with embedded QuickTime videos. All the pages look identical except for one in which the video appears in a different location on the web, than it does in Dreamweaver and the browser preview. The code for each page layout is identical. Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

Post a URL to the page please. The answer is in your code.
