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.

  • 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!

  • 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 It's been superseded by many other MPEG formats.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

  • How can I determine which codec to use?

    I'm using PE7 on a PC. I have HD video shot with a Canon. Each video - there are six of them - is less than five minutes. After I finished editing, I uploaded them to youtube and emailed a link to my client, but my client complained that they were out of focus. I explained that it was the compression that youtube uses, and that I'd render them to disk for him to look at.
    Trouble is, I can't figure out which codec to use. All I know is that I want clear, sharp video, suitable for posting on the net. These are scientific videos, showing some chemical processes involving gasoline with ethanol and water.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    TIA

    I guess I need to explain better. The HD videos I'm editing will not end up on youtube, but will be posted on a government agency's website. I originally posted them on youtube just so the client could take a look without me having to attempt to email large video files or burn to disk, since the client is in a different location from me.
    The area of video editing and production that I'm the least knowledgeable - and therefore the most insecure - is when I attempt to render and save a video. Every video project I go through the same frustration of having a project that I'm happy with, but having a final product that either 1) does not look at all sharp or 2) results in a file size which is too large. In this case, since the final video files will be posted online, they need to be small enough for viewing over the net while maintaining enough sharpeness and quality that the video does not look out of focus.
    If you take a look at this video, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_X0IKPJrng you can see why my client thought it was out of focus. However, I know that the original footage is very sharp.This link is only temporary, as I've already been told that the agency I work for will not allow them to be posted on youtube.
    So, my question is, when I'm rendering and saving a video project from PE7, how do I know what settings to use for the highest quality, yet smallest file size? The manual does not go into much detail about the pros and cons of various codecs, nor does it say much about what settings do what. It's like Adobe expects me to already know this information.
    Is the problem with the video above simply that youtube compresses the videos I upload? Is Vimeo a better site to upload videos and maintain sharpness? In PE7, is there a way to set it up to upload to Vimeo, or should I render and save as an MP2 or MP4 file and then manually upload?
    Surely there's a site which goes into much greater details about the various settings I can use in PE, and how those settings affect the final viewing product.
    Thanks a lot for your help. I realize my questions show an extreme lack of experience, but that's why I'm here, right?

  • Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support?

    I have videos from a Canon Powershot camera which are in 1280 × 720, H.264, Linear PCM. I can import these videos to iMovie on iPad but when I open iMovie it does not show the files.
    I have also tried to import the videos via iTunes Movie Sync. I can play the video on the iPad but can not import it to a new project in iMovie.
    Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support? If I can play the movie on iPad, it should be possible to edit it?
    Where do I find the codecs supported by iMovie for iPad?

    iMovie was made to edit video shot on iOS devices; there is no support list, it was made to edit iOS video.
    This allows iMovie to be stable (or should make it stable as the case may be).
    That said, you are importing the video wrong, and may be in luck with your video.
    The File sharing pane is just for importing iMovieiOS projects.
    iMovie cannot edit video in the Movies app.
    iMovie edits video that can be seen in the photos app.
    So you need to import it via the photos tab, as you would photos.
    The other option is using the camera connect kit.
    If you can see the video in the Photos app, it is highly likely that you can edit it.
    But be warned that using non-iOS sourced video can make iMovie very buggy and flakey.
    Avid for iPad is made to edit more formats and might be a better choice if you have trouble.

  • Bluetooth: A2DP. Which codec is used in iOS4.3

    Hi,
    does anybody know, which codec is supported for BT A2DP streaming?
    SBC (default)
    AAC?
    MP3?
    apt-X?
    Br
    Timo

    Then again, this is from the JBL press release :
    The JBL OnBeat Xtreme iPad dock supports advanced A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles for interference-free operation, and uses the higher-quality AAC codec – supported by Apple’s iOS devices, gaming consoles from Sony and Nintendo as well as Android smartphones – for superior audio streaming.

  • Which Codec is designed for production work?

    Does anyone have a definitive answer to which Codec is designed for production work in FCP?
    NONE HD, current footage is in Apple MPEG-2, and I want to convert it in FCP to a good, fast working codec. There seems to be many to choose from, and I know that many are not smart to use. So which ones are good ones to convert and work in?
    I tried Apple ProRes422, but I could see a difference on screen in the quality of the original (MPEG-2) and the newly converted. I thought H264, but I was told this is NOT a production codec.

  • Which method is used for event creation

    Dear All,
    My client has more then one Purchase Organization. Workflow for Purchase order release very from pur org to pur org. For example - workflow WS92000030 is trigger when PO is created for India pur org where as workflow WS92000021 is trigger when PO is created for US pur org.  
    I checked and found that same Object Type - BUS2012 & event - RELEASESTEPCREATED is used in all Pur. Org PO release workflow. Also I found in Transaction code - SWETYP that Type linkage activate for  BUS2012, RELEASESTEPCREATED in all the PO workflow - WS92000030 & WS92000021.
    As per my knowledge, event can be created in various way such as Function module, Change document, General status management, Business Transaction Events etc.
    Can some one guide me, how can I found that which method is used for event creation in different pur org?
    How can I fould what is the fuctional module used for event creation if Fuctional module used for event creation. 
    For your information, I can see in T. Code - SWUO that 'Result dependent on a check function module'  for all the workflow - WS92000030, WS92000021 etc.
    Thanks in

    Hi Sahu,
    I dont think they have used the Function module or change document or any other kind of methods to trigger the workflow. This is because RELEASESTEPCREATED method is a standard method and it will be triggered by standard SAP. They can not make changes in standard sap saying RELEASESTEPCREATED should be triggered for this Purchase Org .
    Istead what i think is, they might have given the Event Condition for each workflow.
    In SWDD>> basic settings>> Start Events, we can give condition on triggering the workflow.
    Please check this.

  • Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?

    Hi All
    Please let me know Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
    Also is there need of defining each columns before hand in target datastore. Cant ODI take it from the oracle table itself ?

    Addy,
    A CKM is a Check KM which is used to validate data and log errors. It is not going to assist you in data movement. You will need an LKM SQL to File append as answered in another thread.
    Assuming that you have a one to one mapping, to make things simpler you can duplicate the Oracle based model and create a file based model. This will take all the column definitions from the Oracle based model.
    Alternatively, you can also use an ODI tool odiSQLUnload to dump the data to a file

  • How to specify which cert to use for software virt server?

    Is there a way to specify which certificate to use for each software virtual server? So, for example a user hitting https://somewhere.com would get the certificate for somewhere.com while the virtual server https://somewhereelse.com would use the certifcate with the name somewhereelse.com in it?

    No, this is not possible due to limitations of the underlying protocols.
    HTTP requests are sent over TCP connections which deal with IP addresses and port numbers (i.e. hardware virtual server properties), not hostnames (i.e. software virtual server properties). The HTTP protocol adds software virtual server support by allowing a client to identify the hostname (e.g. "www.iplanet.com") of the server it wishes to communicate with. This is achieved by including a "Host:" header with each HTTP request.
    Unfortunately, the SSL/TLS protocols require that the web server present its SSL/TLS certificate BEFORE the client sends its HTTP request. Since the software virtual server information is contained in the HTTP request, it is not possible for the server to select different certificates for different software virtual servers.
    You will need to use hardware virtual servers (i.e. virtual servers that have different IP addresses and/or port numbers) if you wish to use distinct SSL/TLS certificates.

  • After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

    I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
    When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

    Hi Nerva,
    Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
    However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
    Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

    It is typically not advisable to use "delete from array" in a tight loop. The constant memory reallocations due to array resizing are probably inefficient.
    Here's one simple way to do it..
