What are the best image sequence settings (fps)

Hi all,
I have a video that I'm wanting to loop and as it's only six seconds I've made an image sequence out of it and can loop it nicely. The problem is it's a bit jerky so I was wondering what other people use for the frame rate etc.
I've made the movie in photoshop, it is a 3D model which I've animated on the timeline (360 degree revolve). I can specify any frame rate for the timeline, any for the export and any for the image sequence overlay.
I imagine that I would match all three but what is going to give me the smoothest result?
Also I'm exporting as png's, they seem to give lower file size is this the best format?
Cheers
G.

Ok. Thanks for the pointers, I've gone and tried a couple of options.
I've did manage to crop the file down so it's now 696x953px. I then did a few other tests and found that if I took the Photoshop timline down to one second and adjusted the frame rate this way it was easier to get the final amount of frames (maybe just easier to work it out in my head, I am still fairly new to this).
I've then adjusted the timing in the image sequence settings to give me the speed and length of loop I'm after.
My final settings that have given me a good result and very small file size are:
Photoshop
48fps (1 second timeline)
Export as PNG
InDesign
Speed 12fps
This gives me a 4 second loop which is shorter than I orignally planned but looks quite good.

    • iMovie'08 to 11
    - Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
    iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
    • DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
    • iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    • iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
    • Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
    If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
    One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
    I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
    • NTSC - US etc
    • PAL - EU etc

  • What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

    I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
    Thanks

    I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.

  • What are the correct 1080p sequence settings to choose in FCP7?

    I'm planning to master a doc-film project in 1080p. The problem is that I don't see a 1080p setting in FCP's sequence settings window. FCP lists HDTV720p and HDTV1080i but no 1080p.
    Do I therefore need to select the "Custom" setting? Or should I master in 720p and then upconvert to 1080p?
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Message was edited by: Nicholas Natteau1

    The sequence setting must match the settings of the footage you shot. If you shot 1080p, then they will be 1080p. But what codec? HDV? AVCHD (that you need to convert to ProRes)? DVCPRO HD?
    Look in the EASY SETUPS. That is where you find the settings. Although FCP will adjust them automatically when you add the first clip.

    Just to elaborate on the question, i have a number of adverts designed in photoshop and saved as hi resolution jpgs however when opening them in acrobat and using OCR i noticed that either none of the text is picked up or partially picked up. are there fonts that are better or settings for the fonts that would make the recognition better and more reliable.
    Thanks

    tried that today, was a little better, somewhere around 40% words get picked up although sometimes far less or none. tried so many settings, i think its just one of those things, its not really designed to handle all that well.

  • What are the best instagram video settings using Compressor 4?  The outputs I have created look clean HD in camera roll.  When I view video in instagram preview it looks great, but then when i post it the quality gets blurry. Any advice?

    I have read that you should resize the frame to 640 by 640 or 1000 x 1000, and have tried both.  I shot the footage on canon 70d using 720p60fps, and edited the footage with iMovie.  Its been frustrating to see the finished product look great on iPhone, iPad, or mac but once i post the video- the quality gets blurry when you focus on the faces that are in focus.  My footage is basketball action shots from a high school game.  Any advice would be huge, I been looking for an answer to this for a month. 

    Simple export a ProRes 422 file, upload that by itself.  Facebook, Vimeo, YoutTube, etc, all compress the video themselves.  So don't compress it first, just upload it and let them do their own compression.

  • What are the best DVD ripping settings to avoid a choppy QT performance?

    I ripped some of my DVDs with Handbreak, and I put them on my PB 12" running 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4. The performance is really bad with H264 code, and acceptable with standard mpeg4 codec (I occasionally get some stuttering). Which of the following parameters (beside the codec) can improve the QT performance on slower computers?
    1) The size of the final QT file (will a 1GB QT file stutter more, compared to a 600MB file?)
    2) The 1-pass or 2-pass option (so far I've been using only the 2-pass option)
    3) The bitrate (will a 1000kbps get less chances to stutter than a 2000kbps)?
    Thanks!

    If you're using any "ripping" software to convert DVD's to QuickTime formats you are at the mercy of the encoding (and the software that creates it).
    If your Mac has trouble with the file your only options are to reduce the data rate or the movie dimensions.
    I've done a few tests (using H.264) that yield satisfactory results on my Mac mini.
    I edit the display dimensions (prior to export) to half size (640X480 becomes 320X240) and use the H.264 video codec (my Mac Mini can handle it) and then use QT Pro to display the file at double size (back to 640X480).
    Quality does suffer but playback works even on my old G3 iMac.

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • What are the best settings for a retina display image?

    If we Export for Web then view it on a retina display monitor, the image lines look blurry and it's not as crisp as non-retina display monitors.
    What are the best settings when intended for retina display monitors while keeping the file size down?
    Thanks!

    Mark, yes a DVD will play back on a HDTV, just the quality will not match the capability of the playback device. This is certainly the easiest approach though.
    As the article you referenced says, ensuring that your previews are set to a larger pixel dimension than your required output will ensure maximum quality, given that you will more than likely have movement on the images in the slide show I would suggest going with pixel dimensions that are at least 1920px.
    Let us know how you go.

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • What are the best settings to make a DVD?

    Hi!!!
    I want to make a DVD. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My video uses a image (i havent chosen the width x height yet because i do not know what is the best for picture quality on DVD, any advice?). I also use text which is made by clicking on Add Titles in Premiere Pro. Also i have a mp3 which plays throughout. (There is actually no moving video, just an image still, and the text I add which changes every few seconds)
    My question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what are the best settings to begin the project with? (i.e. PAL? HD?, etc). Second question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what settings should i have when exporting? (i.e. Format: MPEG2? MPEG2-DVD? H.264? ect,   Preset: 1440 x 1080i? PAL DV High Quality? etc)
    Note: after exporting the file, i will send the master to a DVD duplicating company who will put the file onto DVD for me.
    Many, many thanks!

    To give you just a bit more background, for DVD-Video (well, if it's burned, it's officially DVD-ROM, but you get the picture), the Transcoding will be done to MPEG-2. For the best Audio, I would stick with PCM/WAV, which will be slightly larger, but with better fidelity. Note that with BD, you have some other choices, but fewer for DVD-Video. Also, even though MPEG Audio was optional in PAL-land, it is falling out of favor. The two choices are DD AC3 (a flavor of MPEG), and PCM/WAV, which will give you the best Audio.
    With Adobe Dynamic Link, you do not need to be too concerned with the Transcoding yet. In Encore, you can choose the parameters for the Transcoding, or leave it set to Automatic and Encore will calculate the space on the disc, and come up with a very good Transcode setting. If you decide that you want to do those settings yourself, please spend some time on the Internet reading about "bit-budgeting." There are also 3rd party Transcoders, that some feel are superior to those used in the Adobe products. There are several recommendations in this forum. Again, you will want to study bit-budgeting first.
    Good luck,

  • CS3 - What Are the Best Export Settings for Animation?

    I have edited a project in Premiere Pro CS3. It is animated, and I want to preserve as much of the quality of the animation as I can.
    What are the best possible settings that I can use to export the video to a .MOV file?
    A little background info, in case it helps:
    The animations were created in After Effects, and the .MOV files were made with the Animation codec.
    After editing in Premiere, I exported the finished file to the Animation codec. It looks so-so.
    Important: I imported the Premiere Project into After Effects, and exported the project with After Effects. The After Effects Quicktime file looks better than the Premiere version of the Quicktime file. (And has a higher data rate, in case that matters.)
    What kind of settings do I need to select in Premiere when I export the video to make the .MOV file look as good as it can?
    (And please don't be afraid to dumb it down.)
    Thx!

    Try an Uncompressed "QT" file.  (Component YUV - 10-bit)
    BTW: Did your PPRO Settings match the AEFX Comp you exported from?

  • What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

    I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

    I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
    The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
    Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
    Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
    Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
    When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
    Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

    What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
    I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import?  Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

    See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
    Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...

  • What are the best export settings to use...

    Operating system: Vista SP1
    Camera: Canon HF100 (1900x1080 HD quality 29.97fps) -- uses AVCHD compression which is H.264 I believe.
    I'm able to watch my camera video files in Vista nicely. However, I'm having trouble with the watching the results of my edited and exported videos. Assuming I want the same quality and playability as the source video, what settings should I use in the export?
    In the export settings window... I select:
    Format: H.264
    Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
    Source files have the extension: .m2ts
    ...I don't change the other values. Then I export. Now the result is an .mp4 file which does not play in Windows Media Player. It does play in Quicktime or iTunes however it plays jerkily... I would like to be able to play it as smoothly as the original source plays... And I'd like to be able to play it in windows media player just as the source can be played in media player. Media player seems to play the source more smoothly than does iTunes or Quicktime.
    So what are the best export settings for me so that I can watch my edited HD video on my computer as easily as the source footage???
    I've been able to edit and save the results of the edit using the crappy ImageMixer3 video editor that comes with the camera. The results are perfect and play in windows media fine. The files it exports the edited video as is the same as the soure... the file extension is .m2ts
    So the problem is how to get Adobe to export the edited video to an .m2ts file or at least to a file type that plays as nicely in my system?

    See
    Exporting to iPods, cell phones, PSPs and other mobile devices in the PPro Help for details.
