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,

  • 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!

    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.

  • Version Set is not created when editing with Photoshop CS4?

    Last week I was working in PSE7 and opening files into PS CS4 for editing. I open the files by clicking the Open with link and choose Photoshop. I edited several dozen photos and when I closed them from PS CS4 Version Sets were created in PSE7 like they should be. At some point that stopped happening. Now when I do as before and open the files into PS CS4, edit them, and then close them the Version Set is not being created in PSE7. I look in the folder containing the files and the file has a new modified date but it still has the same file name instead of being saved with the - edited name as before. Does anyone know why the version sets are no longer being created when editing with PS CS4? I can edit the files with the PSE7 editor and the version sets are created as they should be. Thanks!

    Okay so tha there is no misunderstanding here is exactly what I'm doing. From the PSE7 Organizer I select a photo (file name Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg) and click the Fix tab. I then click More Options and select Photoshop. The photo opens in into PS CS4. I make my edits click the x on the tab to close the image and I'm asked "Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop document "Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg" before closing?" I click Yes then click OK to save the image at maximum quality. I go back to the PSE 7 Organizer and there is no version set. I check the folder the original image was in and see the original file Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg with a new modified date and time. I can even choose Save As from PS CS4 and it asks me if I want to overwrite Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg and I select Yes, but I get the exact same results. Thanks!

  • I created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the dev

    i created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the device is password enabled, Please somebody helpme

    If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

  • What is the use of jsp when compare with Struts

    what is the use of jsp when compare with Struts

    JSP Tag Libraries are great for reusable content formatting and ligic.
    For example, let's say you have this Shopping site. Each item you sell is stored in a database, and you get them out depending on Catagories, creating a List of ItemBeans. You allways want to display the items with a catagory header, then a <table> with the item number, the description and the price.
    Instead of creating a bunch of logic in the JSP that does this, you can pass it on to a Tag that might look like this in your JSP:
    <shopping:itemTable catagory="${selectedCatagory}" items="${itemsForCatagory}" />
    This would make the JSP easier to read and work with.
    The actual uses are incredible. Have you used the <jsp:useBean ...> tag? That is an example of a use of the Custom Tag Libraries.
    Furthermore, look into JSTL (JSP Standard Tag Libraries). They are a collection of tags (API by Sun, coding by Apache) used to do many of the standard actions you might want/need to do in JSPs, like a conditional tag (c:if only do something if the test is true), multiple-conditional tags (c:choos c:when c:otherwise) like an if [else if] else construct. Looping through an array or Collection (c:forEach), storeing values in scopes (c:set) formating numbers and dates (the fmt library), xml transformations (xml library), and lots of other things that you could replace scriptlet code with.

  • What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

    I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
    What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
    Thanks!
    Luke

    PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
    HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

  • Using Animation in your Sequence Settings ... Amazing!

    Well here's the thing ....
    And I'll start off by saying I have so much to learn about FCP but this has made a big difference to how my images look, especially graphics and titles.
    So I'm working away at my project and the graphic images that I import into the timeline from the viewer are just ok and I'm a bit disillusioned like so many people seem to be on these forums about how the image degrades from the viewer to the canvas. And of course it is apparent later on the QT file and then the DVD that's produced at the end.
    So one day, and I can't remember how it came about, I open the sequence settings and change the Compressor in QT Video Settings to Animation! Well what can I say, the image in the canvas was absolutely perfect and in some cases, it's actually a little better than how it looked in the viewer before I brought it across.
    I have to produce a DVD where each week, some of the moving footage and graphic images have to be changed over. A total of about 15 minutes and all of it of course is in this Animation sequence. The downside of using Animation is
    (1) the rendering time is horrendous, (or is that horrenderous?)
    (2) as I'm editing, the playhead disobeys what you ask of it and you get the spinning beach ball quite often (can take 1-4 minutes before you can continue again)
    (3) sometimes when you're playing through the timeline the image on the canvas and the sound quality are poor (processor running out of puff I guess)
    It's a bit of a nightmare but I have no choice but to use Animation now the Marketing Department have seen the difference and expect the higher quality on the images. Cannot get this quality with any other setting I've tried in the Compressor setting. HDV1080 for instance means the rendering problem goes away but the difference in quality is obvious. The project has many different files and formats from HDV to H264s to Pro Res 422s and lots of various jpegs in various forms. But regardless of the project, I have experimented with unrelated sequences in different projects with the same result.
    My questions are..... has anyone else experienced this, is there another setting that would bring about the same results and lastly, would the rendering and the other problems significantly be reduced with say the top-end iMac?
    I have to tell you I almost didn't post this coz I have so little experience with FCP but it would be great to get your feedback. The weekly project I produce may take more time than it should but I have to say I'm happy with the results.
    Thanks for reading.
    Peter L

    Well... the animation codec is primarily used for sneakernetting files from one platform to another, mac to pc for example. It's a bear for a lot of computers to even play out a file without choking. The concept is make animation file, put on disk or drive, carry across the hall to the pc station, convert to something the pc station can use without choking.
    I would suggest you try a little experiment: take your input material and convert it to prores (NOT HQ) before import or WHEN you import (log and transfer) and work with that natively. HDV as HDV is really a cruddy medium. Prores will give you a much better color space and have actual frames all the way through, which hdv does not. Take a one minute section of material, load on some graphics and filters etc, render it out, do your whole production process and see what it looks like. Once you move beyond the artifacts inherent in hdv and h.264 encoding you might be surprised.
    Bad mistake to point out to marketing folks how cool it looks. You must be young!

  • Sequence Settings message when adding LT clip

    I was one who took the plunge with QT 7.4.5.
    I'm running FCP 6.0 on OS 10.5.2
    I found upon importing a rendered Livetype clip that when adding to timeline it shows this message:
    <Warning This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets
    For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
    Change sequence settings to match the clip settings.?>
    If I say no, it needs to be rendered. If I say yes it adds to the timeline without needing rendering.
    BUT...THen any other previous clips added from the project force the above message.
    I am wondering what in my preferences are being affected and what is a good workaround?
    Perhaps just adding and re-rendering in FCP?
    Thanks!

    Duh..I was looking in preferences, and now I vaguely remember this menu.
    Thanks ThrillCat!!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 switching sequence settings from previously edited video clips

    When importing my video clips into Premiere Pro, which are currently set at 1920 x 1080 both from the video clip and sequence settings, it switches  to 720 x 480 (says file has mismatch - keep or change settings, I've done both results the same) when I export and when I put clip on timeline it switches it to 1440 x 1020.  The video clips were done on a earlier version of Premiere Pro at another facility, where we put the audio and video together to make a complete video clip  We shot the footage using a Canon DSLR at 24 ups and are MOV files, done on a Mac
    If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution, plese pass on.
    Carl A.

    Take your imported footage and create the sequence by dropping one of the video files on to the "New Item" button.
    If your footage is actually showing in the project panel as 1920X1080, the sequence that will be created will match that. Guaranteed.

  • Other than voicemail what should i expect tp lose when converting from a blackberry phone to iPhone 4s

    What sould i expect to lose other than voicemails when i convert to iPhone 4s from a blackberry

    Hello chopper59,
    If you've already purchased and received your iPhone 4S, congratulations!  You've made a great choice.
    I'd also like to thank the other Community members for the feedback & suggestions.
    Just as mentioned earlier, you would lose your voicemail messages, so it is suggested to save the messages you're wanting to keep to another storage device.  There are multiple ways to transfer contacts, depending on how your contacts are currently backed up with your current Blackberry.  For example, if you're using the Backup Assistant application, there is an application on the iPhone called "VZ Contact Transfer" that allows you to move your contacts from Backup Assistant to your iPhone.
    I'm including a link with more information about activating and transferring information to an iPhone 4S here:

  • What are the ideal settings for my TC with Shaw's Cisco DPC3825 router/modem

    My old 2nd Gen Time Capsule crapped out and now I am about to set up my new 2TB TC.  My provider is Shaw Communications and they have upgraded me to their Broadband 100 Mbps service.  This came with a new modem/router combo made by Cisco and is model DPC3825.  Before I start plugging things in I'd like to know what are the ideal settings such that I gain the most of the BB100 service.  Should I be setting the Cisco modem/router to Bridge mode or the TC?  Should I have Shaw disable anything?  Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    Unless you specifically need to have the TC perform as the main router for your network, life will be a lot easier if you configure the TC to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Whether the Cisco modem/router or gateway can possibly be configured to act as a simple bridge mode modem is one thing to consider.
    Whether Shaw would support you in the event of any connection difficulties with the modem/router configured this way is another.
    Since Shaw is your provider, it might make sense to talk with them about best practice as far as configuring the DPC3825.
    Once you have that information in hand, you will then have the answer on how best to configure the TC.....which will very likely be in Bridge Mode.
