Which has better export quality. imovie 11' or adobe premiere?

has anyone used both? which has better quality when you export it? I notice that imovie downgrades the quality when exporting by a LOT. It looks great inside imovie and looks terrible once exported!

Hi
I can only guess - (have no Premiere) but
Depends on what will be the end result. DVD or publish on YouTube etc. or saved on an USB-Memory to be Played on PlayStation 3 and alike.
If DVD - then most probably Adobe Premiere is better (if it can export interlaced video to iDVD) - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can not do this - they discard every second line resulting in a sever loss of quality.
I use
• iMovie HD6
• FinalCut any version
And they do deliver full quality over to iDVD
If other end results - then it most probably doesn't matter.

  • Which has better sound quality?  Classic, Nano or Touch?

    Perhaps the answer is "no one knows" but I was wondering if anyone had either any personally perceived differences or (ii) a resource they could reference that actually gave test results.
    Thanks

    I'll have to say for me it's a tie between my iPhone 3GS and 120 GB (6th gen) iPod Classic. The sound using the Apple in-ear headphones is awesome on those two models. I can't explain why, but that's my observation-there's a marked improvement with those two compared to Nano and older iPod Classic models.

  • Which is better iDVD or iMovie

    i am doing a movie project for english. this girl im working with gave me a flash drive with videos (filmed on an ipad) and pictures (camera...not ipad) and she asked me to put it in sort of movie form tonight....im not sure if she wanted me to just put all the stuff in the right place or completely finish it ready to go. Which is better to use for this type of thing and will work on a dell computer (without idvd or imovie) for viewing through a flashdrive. and can i put the finished product on youtube?

  • IMovie/iDVD vs Adobe Premiere Elements Comparison Question

    Has anyone used Adobe Premiere Elements and iMovie/iDVD to be able to make an objective comparison? It appears APE has the same feature content as iMovie/iDVD.
    How well does APE run on your typical Core 2 Duo Windows laptop (1.6mhz)?
    Just curious.
    14" 1.2mhz iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.25m ram, Superdrive

    Okay, so here's my settings for my project...
    To begin with, my output is to a WD HDTV Plus which needs a H.264 1920X1080i30 file.
    The source footage is SONY AVCHD 1080i60.
    My Import Prefs:
    AVCHD: Apple ProRes422
    AC-3 Audio: Plain Stereo
    RT:
    Both Dynamic Playbacks
    Unlimited RT
    Exported using QuickTime Conversion:
    Compression: H.264
    Frames:
    Current
    Key Frames:
    Every 24
    Compressor Quality: Best
    Data Rate: Automatic
    When it gets played back, still elements look "HD" but moving objects are jittered....HELP!

  • Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

    Hi,
    My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

    clue
    Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
    Details...
    The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
    He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
    But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
    Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

    The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
    should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.
    Thank you.

  • Export Settings to use on Adobe Premiere

    I need to give some footage to a client using Adobe Premiere. I know I tried giving him an HDV file before and it wouldn't open in Premiere, I was wondering what the best settings would be compatible with Premiere? I need it to be high quality but not too huge. Thanks

    I thought you had a FCP project being edited or set up.
    If you don't, just give them the footage you have as it is, no need to do anything or export anything. AppleQT/FCP exports may be unreadable by PC based editing systems.
    Exporting an EDL has nothing to do with video quality, you need to read/learn more about editing and the various terminologies used in the industry. To answer your emotional concern, NO an EDL export
    does not involve quality loss, it is just a way to export information about your project, timeline, cuts etc.

  • Export movie with transparent background, Adobe Premiere Elements 9

    Help!
    I'm now using Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  I'm trying to create a few regularly used lower-third animated graphics.  There will be 4... each with the same animated background, but with different names in text.
    I was able to do this just fine in earlier versions of Premiere Elements... using Quicktime Export, and changing color settings to "Millions + of colors"... or something similar...
    Is there a way to do this in this version?  Help!

    You can not export video with an alpha channel from Premiere Elements. Sorry.

  • Realtek vs. Via Vinyl, which is better sound quality

     I downloaded the Via Vinyl Codec in an attempt to fix the Internet noise sound talked about in this https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=75995.0 post and all is well since.  Tiresmoke, or anyone else using Via Vinyl, what do you think of the sound quality.  I think there seems to be a little less bass response, nothing major, but a little different.  Also, the EQ is set up a little different.  What is your take on it?  Can you think of a reason why MSI went with Realtek on Sound if Via has their own solution built into the southbridge?  It is widely held as better quality?  Also, what about the actual realtek audio chip on the motherboard?  What is it doing if you are using Vinyl besides collecting dust?  Any idea on which uses more CPU time?  I know this is a lot of questions, but I'm curious.

    Thanks for the reply Tiresmoke.  I guess no one else is giving the Via Vinyl a shot.  Given that the Realtek is a separate add-in solution on the motherboard, one would think it would be better to warrant its existence.  However, in this crazy silicon world, who knows.

  • Which settings for exporting from iMovie '09

    I have a couple of projects coming up, and I'll be using a MiniDV camera (Canon XL1S) and a hard drive camera (Canon Vixia HG21).
    For final editing I'm using iMovie 6 (still feel the most comfortable with it), but need to use iMovie '09 to import AVCHD footage from the HG21.
    What are the best settings to use for exporting that footage out of '09 and into '06? I hate to lose major quality on the HG21, but don't really mind if it looks comparable to the XL1S. These projects are really demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality (besides, I'm not sure if I have the HD space to work with the biggest files. Also, I don't plan on burn to Blu-ray or anything like that. I'm just needing to burn standard-definition DVDs, and plan on doing that with iDVD.
    Basically I looking for advice on the proper quality settings for these needs, and also wondering if I'm looking at any issues regarding the different aspect ratios I'll be dealing with.
    Thanks much…

    Many thanks Lennart, and my apologies for a typo earlier when really confused you by leaving out one key word. I meant to say, "These projects are really (not) demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality…"
    I like your idea of pillarboxing the whole project, filling an entire widescreen TV with my Vixio footage. I assume the key is to open my new iMovie '06 project with the "DV Widescreen" setting, right?
    Regarding how to convert AVCHD down to SD… I've been experimenting some with iMovie '09 on my intel-MacBook. Please tell me if I can forego the VoltaicHD purchase by doing this:
    - I'm importing my Vixio footage into '09, choosing the "Large - 960x540" setting, just to keep the file size down.
    - I'm then choosing Share>Export Movie, and again, I'm choosing the "Large" radio button.
    - When the movie has exported, I'm seeing that it is saved with a .m4v extension. iMovie '06 will not allow me to drag a .m4v file into the clip pane. However, if I change the extension to .mov, I AM able to drag it in, and it appears that all is working ok.
    What do you think? Is this workable? Am I sacrificing something with this method? Though I have not yet ripped anything to DVD, the quality seems good, (for SD standards, anyway).
    One other question: Is it possible to export multiple clips out of '09 so that they can be brought into '06 individually? So far, all I'm able to do is to export them as one complete "movie," with all of my raw clips locked together. I'd like to have them separated when they arrive in '06. Maybe this is easy to do, and I just have not figured out this feature in '09.
    Thx again…

  • Which has better WLAN reception: E51 or E61i

    i was astonished with the great wlan reception auality of the E51 (compared to the weak n80ie w could not detect any wlan while same time e51 detected 3 networks!!!!?????)

    i would be grateful if somebody help me

    Most Nokia Wlan enabled phone uses the same WIFI(rcvr/trxtr) chips, it's the placement of its antenna & facia of the phone that hampers the transmission & reception!

  • Which has better sound?

    Hi,
    So I have had the N96 from the very beginning and till now I have nothing to complain except the fact that I am still on FW 12!!! (my code is 0573802).  Some help would not hurt
    Now my real concern about this thread is that I am thinking of changing to an N97 due to the fact that I would like to have a touchscreen and also the qwery keyboard is a cool feature!! But I would like to know the N97 sound quality compared to the N96.  I need to have good sound quality.
    Anyhelp would be appreciated in all cases.
    Thank you.

    Contact CPW and ask them for written permission to install generic firmware onto your phone. With that written permission, visit your nearest Nokia Care Point, where they will do the necessary and you'll be able to walk out of there with V30 on your phone. You'll also be able to update sooner when Nokia release new firmware versions.
    What does this have to do with this thread?

  • H.264 vs. MPEG-4 video, which is better quality?

    Which is better quality? H.264 or MPEG-4? Is one more compressed than the other? I'm putting video on my iPod and also may want to output to television from the iPod, so I'd also like to know which is better for that as well in addition to which is better in general.

    H.264 is significantly more compressed than typical MPEG-4. MPEG-4 naturally would be better quality to the discerning eye, and is not as dependent on the speed of your processor and the strength of your GPU as H.264 is. I managed to get a 320 x 240 video of H.264 compressed to be 200 Megabytes for a 2.5 hour video. On a G5 iMac 1.8 Ghz the playback was fine. Trying the same video on a slower Mac there was significant amount of stuttering of the video itself. Experiment with some one minute shorts and measure the file size and see which has better quality on what you are playing it back on. If you can tell the difference, then go with the higher quality format. Certainly keep a higher quality format burnt to DVD in case you need to recreate from the original.
