Which codec to save after editing in ProRes?

Hi ti everyone, at end of editing my footage in ProRes 422 (previous conversion of original footage shot with Canon HF20, Avchd 1080p, 24 Mb/s), I've some doubt about codec to use to save the movie.
I want to store the movie on the hard disk (no DVD becouse I will loose HD and I havn't BlueRay), so I need to use a format very similar to Avchd (High Definition, but not big file).
I try to set Compressor on h264, 1920X1080, max 30 Mb/s datarate, but conversion request very long time.
How is it possible? Conversion from Avchd to ProRes doesn't need a lot of time!
Which format I need? Compressor is the best app to to this?
Sorry for bad english!
Happy XMas

This request doesn't make any sense to me unless all you want to do is play the movie via iTunes/AppleTV.
If you are looking for something to visit again later and re-edit, h.264 is a waste of time. You'll need to go back to the original files and reconvert them to ProRes.
Even if you all you want is the output file to use as the basis for cutting a trailer, you'll need the original output in ProRes.

  • Photo taken with Iphone cannot be save after editing

    After editing the photo taken from my Iphone 4S on my computer, I can't save it. Error given is "This photo can't be saved because of a problem with photo's file format". Have anyone encounter the same problem and found a solution to it?

    Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the "Slide to Unlock" screen will display. Try a photo again to see if it is working.

  • Photoshop cc - can't save after edits

    Simply cannot save an image, after editing.

    Ok, I think the key here is save as vs. save. What I am thinking is the original file is set to read only. Meaning you can not save over top of that file, but you can use save as and create a new file.
    In windows explorer locate the file you are opening, then right click on it and see if read only is enabled.

  • Unable to Save After Editing

    Ok, so I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 8 operating system and I am having the slight problem that I am unable to save a document after editing it. If I change the colour of text in a pdf and then attempt to save it, Acrobat stops responding and will not save. I have been getting around this by shutting Adobe down using task manager, recovering the document, and then saving the recovered document; amazingly, this works fine! However, the last time I tried this, Adobe failed to recover the document, so this is not a viable solution. I have searched extensively online and have not found a solution to this problem. I have attempted unchecking enhanced security, but this has not worked. I am starting to understand that Adobe support is of a very poor quality, but perhaps some other Adobe user can help me. If there are Adobe employed moderators on this site, please look at this issue: being unable to save an edited document renders Adobe Acrobat completely useless for the purposes of my organization and, after all, we paid for this program. If this problem cannot be solved I will encourage my own organization and anyone with whom I confer on the subject to try other software, as Adobe is clearly inadequate.

    What exact version of Acrobat do you have?
    Does it work if you try to save the file under a new name?

  • Which codec to use for editing AND motion graphics (ala Final Cut Studio)?

    I have a prosumer-level AVCHD camcorder (Panasonic HDC-TM700) and am working with Final Cut Studio. After doing a great deal of research it appears that there is NO real benefit to using any codec other than ProRes 422 for straight editing (a camera at this price point doesn't shoot images of a high enough quality to warrant using 422 HQ, which also requires more processor power, and not only does 4444 require rendering it also takes up a ton of space). However, I have read (many times) that there may be some benefit to using 422 HQ if I am doing motion graphics work (ala Motion 4). Can anyone verify this? Would it make any discernible difference when shooting with a camera like this? Even though it is a prosumer camcorder I am trying to squeeze as much value as I can out of the entire production.
    Any input or advice?
    Thanks!

    Please don't double post.

  • Can't Save After Editing Waveform From Multitrack FCP Export

    I've exported a multitrack project to Soundtrack Pro from a sequence in Final Cut Pro. I chose destructive editing, which may have been a mistake. I've made extensive changes to the audio, in particular lots of noise reduction.
    Now when I try to save certain of the clips it shows it saving and then it gives me the not-too-descriptive message "The document "(filename)" could not be saved."
    I can save the project, no problem, but when I try to quit Soundtrack Pro, it tells me I have 4 Soundtrack Pro documents with unsaved changes.
    I've done "Save as" and "Save a copy as" on the clip and it will save it, but after the save, Sountrack Pro is still referencing the old file (which is also the file that shows up in the bin.)
    What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to tell SP that I've done a "save as" or "save copy as" and want that to be the audio referenced in the project? I'm leaving it running in hopes of finding a solution and not losing my changes. Help!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   4 x 500 GB, 4 GB RAM, 2 x 30" Displays

    I made some progress on this. After doing a "save as" or "save a copy as" on the audio you're editing, you can go to the bin and control-click on the file you can't save to, pick "select all occurrences" and then control-click on the newly saved file and pick "replace selected clips."
    Also I don't know if this is helpful, but /var/log/system.log had a number of failures around the time I was trying to save:
    Aug 27 19:24:08 PowerStation kernel[0]: (76: coreservicesd)tfp: failed on 0:
    I used disk utility to compare my second, third and fourth drives with my system drive and noticed that journalling wasn't enabled on the non-system drives. I enabled them. I super doubt that made any difference other than on disk performance.

  • Which codec converting MP4 for editing?

    I did a search on this question.  I have a copy of MPEG Streamclip.  But exactly what codec should I use so that there is little or no loss of data?  Streamclip defaults to Apple Motion JPEG A.  I see all the Apple ProRes codes; and two others - Apple FCP Uncompressed 8-bit/10-bit 4:2:2.  What exactly is different about these? 
    Thanks.

    Hi William,
    What are you looking to use the MP4 for as this will have a bearing on the type of MP4 codec to go for.
    Motion JPEG A is an older (but still useful) codec. It's been superseded by many other MPEG formats.
    ProRes is Apples latest codecs. Personally I love them. They give very good compression with very little loss in image. That's not to say there is none. ProRes422LT is one of the more lossy versions while 422HQ is the least lossy. They are aimed at 10bit video but can be used just as well for 8bit too.
    Uncompressed is just what it infers. It has a lossless image but has the downside of being a large, uncompressed file size. You will also need a very fast harddrive to play this media at full rate.
    My recommendation out of all of these would be ProRes422 Standard (ie, with no suffix of letters on the end). This will give you good all round performance for editing and image quality (although some high detail / high motion footage it may appear a little noisy).
    All the best

  • Pics won't save after editing

    I do some editing and then cannot close or save as, PSE 10 just does nothing?  I have to do a Control Alt Delete to even close the program out as well. Help

    Hi,
    Did you solve your save problem? I am having the exact problem suddenly. Never happened before and now can't solve it. Did a repair permissions after upgrade to iphoto 06; but can't save anything to desktop after bringing any photo from iphoto to photoshop. The same error is coming up
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    Folks at Photoshop said it is definately an iphoto permissions problem, not photoshop.
    If you figured it out, I'd sure appreciate your solution.

  • Which Codec to use for editing?

    Hi everyone.
    I have some rather large uncompressed files which premiere pro is struggling with. The files are only 2:20 seconds long but are 20GB in size with a data rate of 1244163kbps. My computer can play them but it's not smooth. Seeing as I'm going to be adding effects and working on different video tracks I figure it's a good idea to encode this footage before editingh with it in Premiere.
    So I'm wondering what's the best codec and wrapper to encode with for editing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    At this point, yes it's just for editing.
    The free UT codec is another good choice, but it's 8 bit only.  It is lossless, though, and does play fine in a couple of media players.

  • Apple ProRes - which version based on these edit requirements?

    Hi, first and foremost I do understand that the whole 'ProRes 422 vs ProRes 422(HQ)' debate has been covered many times in the past, so apologies in advance for digging this up once again! I've been reading up on this over the past week or so and I can't find any definitive answers specific to my issue, so I thought it was best to post it up on here.
    I'm due to commence editing a short drama film soon which upon completion will feature on the festival circuit throughout next year, with a potential TV broadcast in the works too. We shot the film predominantly on a Canon5DmkIII and an FS700. I will be editing the project in FCP7.
    My question here is that I'm a little unsure as to which codec to transcode the rushes to for the edit...all of the footage was shot 'flat' which means I'll need to do some extensive colour grading in post, as well as additional sharpening and denoising (Neat). Normally for my day-to-day editing which consists of mainly straight to web content I would transcode everything to ProRes422 or 422LT, which is obviously more than good enough when delivering the work online. Once again I'm considering converting everything to the standard ProRes422 codec, but due to the amount of grading/post work that needs performing and the fact that the film will be shown on potentially a cinema screen and on TV I'm wondering if converting to 422HQ is worth considering here based on the edit requirements and final output?
    I mention the HQ codec in relation to its data/bit rate; meaning that as HQ has a higher data rate than the standard ProRes codec there's more 'head room' for retaining quality & detail after rendering the footage out and then exporting? Apologies if I'm wrong in thinking that but that's pretty much my enquiry in a nutshell there. I understand that converting to HQ initially will not give you a better quality file than the standard 422 codec (overkill in most cases), I'm just wondering if HQ (or any other codec for that matter) will retain it's quality better after some potentially heavy grading & filtering vs. codecs such as ProRes422. Storage space and render times are not a problem here, but I would only convert to a codec such as HQ if I know it's going to be worth it in the long run.
    Any help/advice on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.
    Alex

    Unless you shot 12-bit RAW footage with the FS700 there's no reason to go to ProRes422 HQ. Your 5D mkIII footage (and probably the FS700 as well) is 8-bit and the standard ProRes 422 codec is 10-bit. Irrespective of how much work you do in Color (or the color grading system of your choice) the source will still be 8-bit, so 'headroom' is pretty much pointless.
    hope this helps

  • In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    It's rather more complicated that this.
    iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
    The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
    If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
    You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
    Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
    But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

    The beauty of non-destructive editing and snapshots (and, now, publish services) is that, just like negatives of old, your editing never has to be "complete."
    When I say "complete", I dont mean "finished forever", I mean "finished for now".
    I dont know how I do it, but sometimes I end up with AutoSync turned on by accident - last time it happened I hadnt even used AutoSync recently, it turned on by itself, upon restart after a crash I think. Even if my analysis is wrong and its entirely due to operator error - the result is the same: massive inadvertent edits until I detect the condition.
    Also, I make another mistake sometimes (I think its me): when fast typing, I end up normalizing exposure across a whole sh-load of photos... - still havent figured out how I do that since I dont even see a shortcut for that. Sometimes I catch it right away, sometimes not until much later.
    Another frequent mistake made by newbies a lot and seasoned users upon occasion: forgetting when edits will target multiple photos vs. just one.
    I could go on and on... - I love that I can tweak edit settings on a whim, non-destructively, but I dont love it when changes are made inadvertently. Locking does not keep you from editing, just reminds you that it had previously been considered "finished for now" - you can proceed to edit if you wish, or revert to locked state after viewing a detalied list of changes. "Save Metadata" has now become obsolete for me, replaced by "Snapshot & Lock". I dont know about you, but my workflow is:
    - After import, spend a good while editing, until done for now (at which point I snapshot & lock), then optionally at some point in the future:
    - Revisit for re-editing until done for now... If thats just one change: say Exposure +.1, and it was intended, I confirm intention then move on. If I plan to make a few more changes, I unlock until I'm done with it, then relock).
    To each their own, but ChangeManager has become my all-time favorite plugin. - Gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that my photos will never be changed inadvertently - only intended changes... - I hope Adobe builds this into Lightroom proper in Lr4, but even if they dont, I'm covered. I never realized how much stress it was trying to be ultra-careful all of the time when using Lightroom, to not make inadvertent changes, until that stress was gone...

  • Which codec after importing AVCHD files?

    I have AVCHD files, saved to card in the camera. 
    The files have .MTS extension, so I'm using ClipWrap to convert them to files that Final Cut Pro 7 can use. 
    I need to do basic editing with these video files and export them back out so another editor (on another computer) can do more elaborate editing with them.
    To maintain the 1920 x 1080 HD quality of the original files, which codec should I use in ClipWrap?  I tried the default one ("Rewrap - Don't Alter Video Samples") but that file doesn't work well in FCP (it imports, but scrubbing and editing with it is nearly impossible).  Other options listed include Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Pro Res, Apple Pro Res HQ, Apple Pro Res LT, Apple Pro Res Proxy, and HDV.
    And then -- exporting the clips back out for the other editor:  which settings?

    Prores 422 should work fine.  If you have the card or have copied the card contents with folder structure intact, you can probably just use log and transfer within fcp instead of clipwrap.  What camera was the material shot on?
    If the other editor is using fcp, give him the prores files,.   If not, ask him what editing system he will be using and what kind of files he wants.
