What format must video be in for fce?

what fomat must video clips be in for fce?

If you have appropriate QuickTime Components installed ...many different types of files can be imported directly into FCE. Basically everything that can be played in QuickTime Player.
Perhaps true as far as merely importing material into FCE.  But that's not the same as successfully editing, rendering & exporting final results with FCE.
Many, many users have rued the day they made the mistake of importing unsupported video formats & codecs into FCE.  And too often the problems only show up after hours/days/weeks of editing, only to find out upon final rendering or exporting that the effects don't work, frame sizes don't match, results are all pixellated, stuttery, off color, or the video just doesn't play.
While FCE is based on QuickTime, it does not provide support for all the various types of video & audio formats/codecs that QuickTime itself supports.  Perian or no Perian.
FCE was designed to natively edit only QuickTime/DV (NTSC or PAL) and QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec video.  (HDV & AVCHD are transcoded into QuickTime/AIC during capture.)  Using other containers and/or codecs can be a quick way to get a major headache.

  • What formats of videos can be played from the SDHC card on the Zen?

    CWhat formats of videos can be played from the SDHC card on the Zen?' I realize that the SDHC card data is not integrated into the same functions as the data on the internal dri've. That's not my issue.
    My issue is trying to find [color="#ff0000"]ANY videos that can be played [color="#ff0000"]AT ALL from the SDHC card.
    I've been e-mailing with technical support for 2 weeks but it seems all I get is the run-around (and I different technician) with each e-mail reply.
    First they tell me I have to get my videos from Amazon Unbox in order to play them. Then they tell me that, no, the Amazon ones don't play from the SDHC card.
    Can anyone tell me what format or what source I can use to actually play videos from the SDHC card?

    Hi Lionel,
    As a general rule of thumb, the ATI Rage 128 Pro will not support a 20" LCD. That being said, there are reports of it doing just that (possibly the edition that went into the cube).
    I'm not that familiar with the ins and outs of the Cube, so I can't give you authoritative information on it.
    A good place to start looking for answers is:

  • What format do videos for the Nano have to be in?

    I have videos that are already in MP4 format that will not upload to the 7th gen nano. They are not high def cause they were taken with a phone ... is there a converter out there that I DON'T have to pay for. This is ridiculous that the kid such an amazing gift and they can't use it due to all the proprietary #$%@& you have to go through just so they can use it.

    All of the encoding parameters supported by the 5G iPod are on the tech specs on the Apple site:
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
    See the row "Video Support" about midway down the page.
    On the Mac, I've been using Handbrake to encode videos to MP4 for the iPod, works great. There's an article or blog entry somewhere with all the details, but unfortunately I don't have it handy.

  • What format must the html be in for the link to my form work?

    Does the form created in my account named 80th Celebration work in a webpage created with the criteria below?
    I cannot get it to work in my website. Not by just the link or embedding the script. Have the form shows up with script and the link will not work goes to a your page saying this form does not exist.

    Hi,
    You should be able to embed your form by copying the embed code from the embed dialog, which you get to by going to the distribute tab, and clicking embed.  Note however that the embed will not work on an HTML file opened from your local drive.  It must be opened from a web server.
    If you tried that, and it's not working, can you email me ([email protected]) the URL of your webpage?
    Thanks,

  • What is the status of QT for FCE HD

    It is so difficult to figure out whether it is time to move up from QT 6.5.2 to QT 7. There was the 7.0 debacle, with the 6.5 reinstaller. Then QT 7.0.2 followed, with the QT 7.0.1 reinstaller.
    I find it difficult to find information on what bugs may affect me, with my 10.3.8, and FCE HD. I want to go to 10.3.9, and QT 7 to play with video on the iPod.
    Anyone tuned in and care to summarize the story of QT 7.x?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Thanks. I think that to work with video for the iPod, you have to use a QT 7.x variant. I hate wasting time trying to reinvent the wheel, so I hope that someone here may have some upgrade tips.
    I got my iMac, and the next week Tiger came out. I had at least expected a coupon for a recent purchaser to upgrade to Tiger, like they did last time I worked with Macs (hint, OS 7 was the breaking news...) My iMac did seem to be older stock, though. Tiger is not in the cards for the near term.

  • What format is best to choose for importing to iTunes 11?

    Trying to import all my music from Windows XP laptop, (can't find my original CDs, packed away) hours later I found they were in WMA format, not acceptable to iTunes in new Mac Mini, What the? Tell me best choice for format, please? I wasn't thrilled w. MP3, too dull, need sparkle. Would it be best to try from iTunes installed on laptop? I haven't set it back up yet to find out which format those files are in. Thanks in advance.

    iTunes for Mac can't transcode WMA files but iTunes for Windows can. You're going to lose a bit of fidelity moving from one lossy format to another but you might find you prefer AAC over MP3. There is also no point in converting low bitrate source files into a higher bitrate so you might want to spend some time with Windows Explorer search in details view so you can split out your WMA files into different bitrates before import into iTunes. Import settings are controlled under Edit > Preferences > General tab.

  • What are multiple video cards good for?

    Yeah, I know it is probably a dorky question but I would certainly like to know the answer before I start pricing my future Mac Pro. What I'm thinking about is online gaming stuff (which I'm just getting into so I'm still a little clueless). My question is:
    Are four GeForce 7300 cards better than one X1900 for gaming/graphics?
    It sounds like from the other posts that the X1900 is the superior card. Am I reading things correctly?
    Thanks,

    One advantage of multiple video cards is monitor calibration. When running two monitors off of one card, it's simply not possible to (accurately), calibrate both screens. Altering the video LUT of the card to dial in one monitor will affect the calibration of the other.
    On my previous G4 system, I ran two screens from separate cards (two CRTs - different makes and size). With hardware calibration, I was able to get them to match perfectly. On my Mac Pro running the same screens from only one card, I can get them close but not perfect - more importantly, I have to decide which monitor is to be properly calibrated.
    Not particularly important for gaming performance but there you go ...

  • What size must an image be for iMovie?

    Hi Apple Community
    Am wanting to add some stills to an iMovie production.
    What is the ideal size for these images in pixels?
    Kind Regards
    Chris

    video nowadays comes in two resolutions:
    1280x720
    1920x1080
    If you plan to do excessive Ken Burns, for sure more (then you can pan along a whole coastline, for example)
    and before anybody asks: NO, for video, the dpi is of no use! a 1920x1080 in 72dpi has the same quality than a 1000dpi or a 5dpi pic.
    Much more important is the grade-of-compression ... a 20MioPixel pic,, squeezed into a 12.3kB jpg looks after done into 'video' terrible... (key word banding) ....

  • What format to export from FCP for iDVD?

    I am having trouble coming from FCP to iDVD. Material was shot HDV on a Sony Z5 and I downconverted to DV to edit on FCP. I make a Quick Time Movie of the edit (as DV PAL) but the pans are all juddery. How should I export from FCP to stop the juddering on pans?

  • Help - I need help to know what format is best for FCE

    I have a lot a various videos to convert for FCE. I have generally just converted them to MOV h.264 (these are not HD) and use these in FCE.
    The problem is the video and audio all has to be rendered. Also if I want to add an audio filter I can't listen to it in Real time as it has to be re-rendered.
    I am growing tired of watching the progress bar creep along.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rich

    Sorry I should have mentioned it.
    All for NSTC and the original is a recording done by GoToMeeting. It is a Windows Video Media Standard 9.
    Usually I have to then play it and capture it as we don't want the full screen. I capture it with Snap Pro X, The result of that is an Apple Animation Millions IMA 4:1. with FPS of 10.
    I then bring that in to FCE and put in Sequence and Render it. Can't do anything with the audio as it has to re-render it before I can hear it. After Render is has light blue lines above. After editing, it's exported as Flash FLV for the web. THe end size must be 720 pixels wide,
    I have MPEG Streamclip but it has so many options, not sure what to use.
    I have looked all over for something that talks about formats to use and have found nothing as they all seem to think the original Video is being imported from a camera.
    Thanks for the response.

  • What formatting for external hard drives for my photo students?

    I teach digital photography. Our classroom Macs are a mix of Intel and PPC (iMac 20", G5s). My students typically either come with a Mac laptop, buy one while here, or soon after they leave. Some (few!) have a PC laptop or will leave to go home to a PC laptop.
    I've been buying one external harddrive per student (with FW800, FW400, USB 2.0, 250 GB) from macsales.com for students to put their digital photos on while here and when they leave my 12 wk. course. I encourage them if they have a Mac laptop to partition their external drive to have one partition for backing up their boot drive, one for their photos.
    In the classroom, they may be hooking up their external drive to a PPC or Intel Mac.
    What recommendations can you give for what formatting they should be using for their external drives? Intel, for PPC, or...MS-DOS (if they go to a PC)? (One student told me that her external drive which was formated for PPC last summer now won't show up on her MacBook Pro.)
    I realize they can only use the FW800 on a few Macs (including 17" MacBook Pro, Mac Pro), and should not be using USB 2.0 for a drive they hope to boot a Mac with. I've heard formatting and using MS-DOS is very unstable (for PCs at least).
    Tips, please?

    I've been buying one external harddrive per student
    (with FW800, FW400, USB 2.0, 250 GB) from
    macsales.com for students to put their digital photos

    encourage them if they have a Mac laptop to partition
    their external drive to have one partition for
    backing up their boot drive, one for their photos.
    That's impressive and very user-supportive. At work, our students have space on our server to backup/store their work for the semester but are greatly encouraged to backup their stuff with either Cds or DVDs (and we don't supply those). If they use a personal machine, they are responsible for their own backups of their system.
    In the classroom, they may be hooking up their
    external drive to a PPC or Intel Mac.
    For data, the traditional APM formatted drive work with both.
    What recommendations can you give for what formatting
    they should be using for their external drives?
    Intel, for PPC, or...MS-DOS (if they go to a PC)?
    (One student told me that her external drive which
    was formated for PPC last summer now won't show up
    on her MacBook Pro.)
    As I mentioned earlier, an Intel Mac can boot from an APM formatted drive although this may or may not be the best solution. Unfortunately with partitioning via Disk Utility (and perhaps other tools as well - I've not investigated this yet), every partition must be of the same scheme GUID or APM.
    The most important reason for backups (IMHO) is to safeguard personal work. The OS can be re-installed anytime and settings reconfigured if need be. Since the APM scheme can be used by both Intels and PPC for data, I would go with APM. Bootable or not, their important data will be backed up.
    (I don't know why one student had a problem but it shouldn't be related to the partition scheme.)
    For a bootable system/backup, I use Carbon Copy Cloner from Mike Bombich. Ideally, so long as there is space, I create a restorable image of a fresh OS install and put it away for a rainy day. I then clone my entire internal drive to the external (APM). Over the last year, I've been able to boot from it on my original iMac CD as well as have a hard copy of my work.
    Once backed up, I would later use the option to only copy changed files instead of re-doing the entire drive. That was a feature in the PPC version of the app (which will run under Intel) although I haven't tried the latest universal version (3.0 beta). There are a number of other applications that can perform backups/cloning as well.
