Where is apple pro res format in mpeg streamline??

i'm brand new to this. have a canon 5D Mark II and final cut express 4.
am using mpeg streamline to convert files to work in FCE.
people here seem to suggest "apple pro res" format but i don't see it in mpeg streamline.

ProRes is only available with FCP. For FCE you have to use the Apple Intermediate Codec.

FCX transcoding media is only in apple pro res 422? how to choose proper apple pro res format

I have imported some footage shot witha dslr camera in FCX [(1280 × 720, H.264, AAC, HD (1-1-1)], I have immediately transcoded in high quality to have better format to edit with, my question is can I choose other apple pro res (non for this case) quality format, (422 high quality or 4444) to convert into?
whats is the the proper apple pro res format to choose relating any codec?

So now what I do is, I use Final Cut Pro 7 to ingest and transcode the footage. The rest in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any better solution?
Just to throw another 2¢ into this.
Agree with what AndyNick
says about PR HQ being overkill for footage originally shot in 4:2:0. – with the possible exception that in some cases graphics and the grading of those might benefit.
If storage isn't an issue – and if your computers are beefy enough to push these big files around – then it''s hard to see any downside, if you decide to use the HQ flavor. In which case, I would say there is no better solution than using the Log & Transfer function of FCP7 for the transcode. It could also be done in Compressor (slower) or MPEG Streamclip (faster), but in neither case would it give you the combination of control and speed as FCP 7 L&T.
Good luck.

Hi there. I shot with a nikon d7000. The clips look great on the viewer but quite bad on canvas (also after its been exported) I converted my clips to apple pro res 422 using mpeg streamclip. The size I used was 1920 x 1080. How can I fix these?

This is the clip:
This is the sequence:
I know they both should match. Question is, should I re convert the clips in mpeg using different size settings? Or should I change the sequence settings? how?
Thanks A LOT.

Apple pro res formats question

Is it ok to use apple prores 422LT and Apple Prores 422 in the same sequence or will that mess anything up.
Thanks in advance!

I just realized some of the frame rates are 29.97 and some are 59.94. The footage that is 59.94 has a frame size of 1280x720 where the 29.97 is at 1920x1080. Is this going present a problem when I get to the editing stage?
Thanks!!

Uncompressed QT vs Apple Pro Res

Hi All
We are about to venture into 16mm transfer to HD for the first time. The telecine house can give us Uncompressed QTs or Apple Pro Res on a hard drive.
These are the pro's and con's as I far as I can tell:
Uncompressed QT:
- Large Files
- Cannot be used (without conversion) on our current FCP set-up
- Highest quality, which is great for archiving and future use of the media
Apple Pro Res:
- Smaller files
- Can be used directly on our set-up, without any conversion (there are some time constraints on the project
- Almost the same quality as Uncompressed (???)
The workflow I am considering is to get the files back as uncompressed qt's (to make sure the Masters are the highest quality possible) then convert them to Apple Pro Res in Compressor, then edit. Does that sound right?
Is there any point to doing a 'neg match' (editing in Apple Pro Res then upconverting to uncompressed qt's as if in an off-line/on-line environment)?
And, lastly, what Apple Pro Res format should I ask for?
Any other golden nuggets of information you ca add will be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hi Jokke, If it's not too late, I've just been through exactly the same decision: shot on super 16 and had to worry about what to do with it. For me the decision had a lot to do with speed of editing, size of files and the way the final thing would be presented (HD Mpeg projected in my case) For all these reasons, the Prores codec worked fine. All the film buffs will scoff at this but very often the differences are really indiscernible and you won't need a bunch of supercomputers to crunch through the uncompressed footage with filters and dissolves applied to it. If you choose to go with Prores, you should definitely take the 422 HQ variety, although I think there's a newer better Prores codec coming out. Maybe one of the more tech-savvy persons on the forum would know about that.

So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Apple Pro Res "Render at Maximum Depth"

From my understanding, Apple Pro Res maxes out at 12 bit with DSLR cameras in movie mode not even reaching that. Yet, the setting for "Render at Maximum Depth" offers 24 to 64 bit. Anyone know what the story is with this setting?
And does anyone know the settings for Apple Pro Res 4444 at its highest quality when coming from H.264?
Thanks.

A question for you - what is your workflow where you think you might need this? Keep in mind that the majority of cameras only record 8-bit color, and also in a very highly compressed format, so you won't necessarily gain anything by going to 4444, as the source video is of limited quality already.
Basically, if you don't have any high-bit-depth sources in your timeline to preserve the quality of, there may be little or no benefit to enabling "Max Depth".

HOW DO I CONVERT F4VS TO APPLE PRO RES?

Hi, I need to transfer a premiere pro project as a XML to FCP so i plan to convert the files into premiere pro into Apple prores so they can opened in a Apple Pro Res project in FCP. The files I need to convert are the original MOVs and F4vs so the movs won't be a problem but the I've tried converting the f4Vs in Adobe Media Encoder and it seems to suggest I need FCP installed on my computer to convert them to pro res bu there must be a way of getting F4vs in to FCP. This is a project I'm transferring to be opened on someone elses computer in their FCP so how is this done?
PLEASE HELP!
I have the apple pro res codec already installed on my computer and downloaded a free trial of Pavtube but when I tried converting a F4v file into prores it said I need Final Cut already installed on my computer so would wondershare say the same thing. Sorry but I just want to be clear so...If I convert all the movie files in my Premiere Project into Apple Pro Res then export that as a XML then send all the individual files along with the XML project file to another computer they would be able to open the XML project all good and fine in FCP7?... There isn't any speed adjusted clips in the project as with those I nested and converted them into f4vs in Media Encoder then reimported them into the Pro project, then there are a few clips that I have adjusted the scale and postion and put on a slight fade on some clips- would those effects transfer to FCP7 ok ?
The project files I used in Pro are-
Editing Mode: DSLR,
25fps,
frame size 1920 x 1080, vertical 16:9,
Pixel Aspect Ratio, Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields : No Fields(Progressive Scan)
Sample Rate 48000,
Video Previews-
Preview File Format I-Frame Only Mpeg
Codec Mpeg I-frame
So if they open a project in FCP7 with as much of those settings as possible and in Apple Pro Res and then import the XML would that work?
Any advice would be extremely welcome and I'll be very greatful.Cheers

Try using MPEG Streamclip. Seems to work for a lot of folks.

Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

Hi guys.
I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
I have captured a still shot of the frame here
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/FrameError.jpeg
Here are the settings I am using for the conversion
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/Error.JPG
Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

Actually I think I might have found the answer.
After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
Thanks for your help.
PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

DVCPRO HD/Apple Pro Res 422 HQ slow to transcode to DVD on 8 core Mac Pro's

I've been conducting some tests and narrowed down the slow transcode times I'm having specifically to DVCPRO HD or Apple Pro Res 422 HQ clips when transcoding to 90-150 MPEG-2 DVD Presets. These formats take forever to render on a Mac Pro 8 core when compared to a G5 or a quad 2.66GHz Mac Pro. DV and DVCPRO 50 are transcoding at very fast speeds on a Mac Pro 8 core. I would like other Mac Pro 8 core users out there to confirm this... that way Compressor developers can do soemthing about these slow MPEG-2 transcode times. A 6 minute DVCPRO HD clip is taking 52 minutes to transcode to a MPEG-2 90 minute DVD Best Preset in Compressor. This is in comparison to 20 minutes on a G5 and 10 minutes on a Mac Pro 2.66GHz for the same transcode. This problem does not happen while transcoding to MPEG-1 or HD DVD MPEGs.
I've tried everything:
1. Wiped the system
2. Switched memory
3. Tried virtual clusters.. still slow even at 750% cpu utilization.
4. Tried with updates and without updates.
5. Tried with multiple other clips.
6. Looked at my file permissions for each clip
7. Made sure that each file is self contained.
8. Tried custom presets.
9. Googled to see if other people are having the same problem... found this: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/155/866630
10. Compared times to DVD Studio Pro's encoder... DVD Studio Pro is way faster.
11. I've written to Ken Stone and Mike from HDforindies.com... just to confirm the problem... waiting for their response.
12. I've also written a suggestion/problem report to Compressor developers.

I've had the same chooppy/ipxelated results that you are having with DVD Studio Pro's encoder at different settings. If DVD Studio Pro had worked well... I would have dropped this issue somewhat. I'm so irritated that a Mac Pro 8 core... top of the line machine is getting floored by G5's and Quad Mac Pro's. Even though it's just with the DVD 90-150 minute presets... its still a major issue because i need to make DVD's on a regular basis. I woud feel so much better if I knew someone was looking at the problem. Including you I've found 3 others with the same issue. I'm hoping to get them on this thread.

Exporting AVI to Apple Pro Res 422

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 and I would like to export my source file (AVI) to Apple Pro Res 422. Is that possible?
If not, which format do I export my video to be used on a Mac running Final Cut Pro. I realize I can export using Quicktime, but then Final Cut Pro would have to render the video. I am hoping to avoid the additional rendering step.

Open the AVI file in MPEG Streamclip, and choose prores 422 as the export option, and see if that works.

Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export - "render at max depth" and "24 bit or 48 bit depth"?

I'm exporting my 90 minute feature for DCP using the Apple Pro Res 422 HQ codec. The film is 1920x1080 and that is what the export will be. We used a variety of cameras (Canon 7D, Sony XR160, GoPro, Blackmagic in HD) for the film.
For the export options:
Do I check "Render at Maximum Depth"?
Which do I choose - 24 bit or 48 bit depth? - one has to be chosen even when "Render at Maximum Depth" is unchecked
When I asked the DCP house, they said that "Render at Maximum Depth doesn't actually do anything when using this codec" and haven't answered the 24 vs. 48 bit question.
This discussion:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4529886#4529886
says that you "never need to enable the Max Render Quality (MRQ) unless you are exporting in a format/pixel ratio different from your original video."

Apple Pro RES and DVD Studio Pro for burning DVDS

I have a FCP file, shot in HD, 5.5 min long, in apple pro res. It needs to be in a format to send to various people to play on a commercial DVD player as well on apple and pc computers. So far I have made a H264, as well as a MPEG 2 on a "-" dvd and both will play only on my mac computer, not on a playstation 3, nor a pc, nor a commercial DVD player. What should I do?

so sorry I sounded curt....must be the heat.
I have zero experience. Someone was helping me compress my final cut pro movie which was apple pro res, then , in compressor we tried H.264, then MPEG 2, using "-", but neither of these would play on anything other than my mac.
I need them to be in a format that I can send to people who may be using a pc, mac or commericial DVD player.
It's very nice of you to reply....

Apple Pro Res 64-bit Encoding

I've looked everywhere and tried everything...
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new-7-1.html
At the bottom, under "support for new camera formats", there is a section regarding support for "Apple ProRes 64-bit" as a new camera codec. I looked everywhere in Media Encoder and the only thing with a "64" in the Apple Pro Res Codecs is under Apple Pro Res 4444 in the "Maximum Bit Depth". However, this option was already available so that 's not what Adobe could be reffering to... I understand that there is support to utilze the 64 bit capabilities to quicken the transcoding process but does anybody know anything about a new Pro Res Codec at 64-bit? Where it is? What it entails?
Anything at all would be awesome. Thanks.
-Dimitri

Hi Dimitri,
It's 64 bit as in it uses a 64 bit process on a Mac. It does not refer to 64 bit depth. The only and main difference is that encoding ProRes is going to be faster now.

Vixia HF200-apple pro res?

I've searched online and throughout the apple forum, but I can't find any info that discusses the best sequence and project settings to use with a Canon Vixia HF200 camera. I bought ten of the Vixia HF200's for our school to use with Final Cut Pro 6.06 running on Quad Core and a few 8 core Intel Macs. We can ingest perfectly. No issue. And I am probably using the wrong settings, but I set the sequence preset to Apple Pro Res HQ 1920x1080 24p. Our cameras are all set to cinema mode24p. For easy setup we have been using Format:HD, Rate:all and Use at DVCPro HD-1080pA24. Our sequence settings are 1920x1080 Custom 16:9, Pixel Aspect=1440x1080, timebase=23.98 and compressor apple Pro res HQ. I've played with other settings and editing is fine and the video looks fine. However, on most of these settings we are seeing some weird by product. All exported 1920x1080 video has flash frames throughout the video. You can watch the video on an NTSC monitor or on the computer monitor and there are no flash frames. But once you export using Quicktime Movie Apple Pro Res HQ 1920x1080, then that exported file shows multiple flash frames. Again, I'm sure I have all the wrong settings. Can someone respond with the optimal settings for editing AVCHD @ 24MB from a Canon Vixia HF200 within FCP 6.06?

Did it work before?
If so, what did you change?
If not, have you tried installing the latest ProRes Codecs?
