What should my transcode settings be?

I'm trying to output files for a DVD project I'm working on. I was given all of the video and audio pieces by our video guy. I've put them together with Encore 2.0 and created the menus. When I attempt to output the files to DVD to send to our replicator company it's giving me a "File Not Found" error. I'm going through some of the troubleshooting ideas online. One of the things it mentions is transcode settings. For a project that I'm creating that will be used in DVD players at trade shows (and sent to customers), what transcode settings should I use. Do I apply these to each piece of my project? It's grayed out for the entire project, so my only option is to apply one for each.
Or, if someone else has a better idea about why I'm getting a "File Not Found" error, I'd love to hear about that, too.
I've already authored one of these for a Play All looped disk and didn't have any trouble. It's this one with all of the pieces that's now causing me trouble.
Thanks for the help,
Debbie

My filename was 20 characters and I used _ marks instead of spaces. When someone suggested that I just rename the file, I added a 1 to the end of the file name and it worked. It's really weird to have to do that though. When I made some changes again and tried, I had the same problem, so I deleted my original file, removed the 1 from the filename, and it worked again. Very strange. That said though, I'm happy that I can at least make it work to complete my project that I'm working on.

What should your sequence settings be when editing with H264 in CC?

I keep getting a yellow bar when editing with H264 no matter what I make my settings as. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi jdib,
That's pretty normal for DSLR footage. Check out this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
Thanks,

I have purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980. Now what should I change settings in Premier Pro and After Effects to reduce export time

I have recently purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980 4GB with i7 4790K.
Now what settings are to be optimized in Pr (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail Please explain in Detail step by step
Now what settings to be optimized in Ae (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail step by step .
The main Motto of noto is to reduce expot times.
Please help me set values .

As Dave says, GPU does very little in AE, see this: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
Now, some third-party plugins (such as Red Giant Universe and Video Copilot's Element 3d) do make use of the GPU in AE, but their requirements have nothing to do with AE or its settings.
Premiere, on the other hand, does make use of a GPU, you should ask in that forum what they suggest.
Also, in the future, I would suggest checking on system requirements and benefits BEFORE making a purchase...

What should my sequence settings be for this situation?

Hello everyone,
I'm about to start a project with a few different formats combined on the same sequence, so I'm wondering what format you would all use for the sequence?
My project will consist of:
10% DVCPRO HD 720p60 footage from a P2 card
10% AVCHD 1080i30 footage from a Canon Vixia HF20
10% Quicktime Animation footage created in After Effects
70% JPEG images (slide show) of resolutions larger than 1920 x 1080
I'm not sure of the resolution of the Quicktime Animation footage from After Effects, since I haven't created it yet. I'll create it with a resolution that matches my sequence resolution.
I'm thinking the sequence resolution should be 1080p30, to take advantage of the high res JPEG images. The final delivery will be a h.264 file for web streaming on Vimeo.
So this is where I need the help: what sequence format should I use for editing? Is this a good situation in which to use a ProRes format? I've never used ProRes on a PC before, and I'm not really sure which specific ProRes format would be best to use here.
I'm editing with Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC, and I do have the latest version of Quicktime Pro installed.
Thanks!
Mike Tomei

Yeah, I agree... edit at 720, because that's the maximum for Vimeo, and also your smallest footage is at 720... bringing it up to 1080 may make it look bad.
I've edited mixed footage before, and I generally use the sequence for the "hardest" footage to edit (which is generally AVCHD). I do it no because I know that to be the best, but because I DON'T know what information specifically goes into the different sequences, and I do know that AVCHD can tax my system, so when I have to use it, I try to optimize for it.

What Should my sequence settings for H264, 1280x720/30fps be. Pro Res422?

I have a job coming up and an fully aware of the nightmare of editing H.264. The footage I've got was shot on a flip camera. H.264, 1280x720 at 30fps. The deliverable is DVD. Am I right in choosing ProRes 422 for the sequence settings? I notice when comparing the clip in the browser window to the same clip in the viewer window, the clip in the viewer window looks a tad wider. Is this a pixel aspect thing.
My sequence settings are as follows;
Under the General Tab;
Frame Size: 1280x720
Aspect ratio: HDTV 720p (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (Anamorphic 16:9 is unchecked0
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
QuickTime Video Settings:
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
Quality: 100
Audio: 44.1

Shane, thank you for your reply. I want to be sure I understand you correctly. Convert the footage before bringing it in to FCP (compressor), or can I just render in the time line as I build the sequence? I plan on exporting a same as file for use in DVD studio Pro for a deliverable.

What should the settings in Preview be if scanning documents and the faxing them

I'm trying to scan documents using preview and my printer. Once I scan the documents, I save them in dropbox and later fax them using SFax. However, the faxes are coming out blurry and very difficult to read. What should the Preview settings be on? PDF? File Format? How many dots per inch? What are standard settings?

I am a recently retired webmaster and fortunately have fewer eye problems than most people my age. I have astigmatism and, in common with most people over 40, have reduced accommodation. Perhaps because I have spent considerable time in front of computer screens my eyes focus most easily at screen distance. I use low power long distance glasses to watch television and drive after dark. I use low power reading glasses for small print such as maps and repairing small items. Most of the time I don't need glasses.
There is no such thing as standard settings for font size or style. It is entirely a matter of personal preference.
Here are my settings:
34cm x 27cm Apple Studio Display set to millions of colours and a resolution of 1280 x 1024
Safari 'standard' font set to Geneva 14
Safari fixed width font set to Courier 14
Default encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1)
Minimum font size set to 10
Geneva is a very old Apple font optimised for screen use. I still find it more readable than other fonts under a wide range of conditions.
I assume you know about Zoom settings to override the above:
cmd + to increase size
cmd - to decrease size
cmd 0 to return to 'normal' size
I set 'Zoom Text Only' on the view menu.
You can also create your own style sheet to obtain even more control. Here is a Google search link about these:
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=browser+%27style+sheet%27+%27visually+impa ired%27&as_qdr=all&newwindow=1&num=100
I have written many style sheets but not for visually impaired. I am happy to assist if required.

What should Ram settings be for FCP 6 doing a slideshow with JPEGS ?

Hi all,
I am doing a Ken Burns effect slideshow in FCP6 that is using JPEGS only.
I have the 24" intel imac 2.4 gig with 4 gigs of Ram installed.
I am wondering what my ram settings in FCP should be.
there are 4 boxes you can fiddle with the numbers.
first two have sliders and go from 0 to 100%
"memory usage"
and also still cache...
what should I be setting these to?
thanks in advance!
I ask because my system bogs right down with only a few layers and effects in place.
what should my sequence settings be as well when working only with JPEG?
I normally edit in easy DV NTSC....

Thanks guys.
I have found that I cannot resize and get a clean movement here in FCP.
I tried the cutting approach jim and that at least got me through the placement of the pics to the song and then I started the motions. I also checked and then unchecked the shadow once I had it set where I wanted. I like to work through each pic from start to finish so i know exactly where I am at each night when I go to bed and then where I start again the next evening after my day job!
haha
but yes unchecking the shadows and feathered edges definately bought me some more time before render.
I appreciate all the helpful advise here. You guys pour so much knowledge out there for us and mostly without even much thanks to you in return.
One question I would still have now that I have fiddled around with all my settings....
would anyone have the time and the knowledge to help me figure out what the "proper" settings should be for my setup for editing regular sd dv ntsc footage?
or when I click easy setup dv ntsc does it configure my system for optimal settings each time?
ie what should my ram settings be?
thanks in advance.
see sig for setup.

NTSC : I have mixed 24p & 30p footage, what should my AME mpg2 dvd settings be? "Lot's of Jittering"

I have mixed 24p & 30p footage...
1) Adobe Media Encoder: what should my mpg2 dvd settings be?
2) PP CS5.5: What should my sequence settings be?
I am outputting to BR & dvd ntsc. I'm getting a lot of jitter, mostly with the panned footage.
I have cs5.5 pc.24 gigs ram, raid
I have 24P & 30p 1920/1080 footage

Couple of things.
Jitter while panning is not uncommon, even for Hollywood, if the pan is too fast. 24 fps just doesn't lend itself well to smooth pans if you go too fast. So keep in mind that this is something that may not be fixable without a reshoot.
Next, 30p can't go onto Blu-ray at any resolution. You're limited to interlaced at 30 fps.
With those caveats out of the way, I'd ask how was the 24p captured? What camera was used and in what mode?

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

Transcode settings question

I started a new project with my blue ray transcode settings set to 1440 x 1080. This disk consisted of movies that had 1920 x 1080 and 960 x 540 assets. The blue ray looked great. Then I started wondering should my transcode settings have been set to 1920 x 1080 when I created the project? I am a little confused on how this works. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Following post has the details of the Encore supported Blu-ray file dimensions : http://forums.adobe.com/message/1901666#1901666#1901666#1901666
If your asset is one of the following then you don't need to worry about the project settings becasue the assets would be transcoded using the asset's dimensions.

But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
