Which is better: XDCAM or ProRes for editing and upload?

I am trying to determine if I'm better of staying with my native XDCAM files or instead converting them to one of the Pro Res codecs? One of my main issues is that the files that I upload to YouTube never look as good as I feel they ought to, nor as good as other HD files that I've seen online.

Well, neither would be good to upload. YouTube wants H.264.
Both look good. ProRes is easier on the system, smoother to edit, but has larger file sizes. XDCAM native isn't bad to work with, it just can take longer to do final rendering...depending on the system you are using to edit.
Both will convert to H.264 and look good.

  • AVCHD or MP4 for editing and uploading to YouTube?

    Our company just bought a Canon Vixia HF R52 camcorder so we can shoot instructional videos, edit, then upload to YouTube for our customers to access.  This camcorder has dual recording in AVCHD and MP4.  The guy doing the recording and the guy doing the editing live on opposite sides of the country, so the files will need to be uploaded to a website for sharing. 
    Question 1:  Will the AVCHD files be too large to upload to a file sharing site or is it better to use MP4? 
    Question 2: Which version of Final Cut can handle AVCHD the best, Final Cut Pro 4.0.1 or Final Cut Pro X?
    Thanks!

    4.01 predates AVCHD by a few years. You need FCPX. AVCHD is a better format than MPEG-4. If you're sharing the same media make disk images of the catds and upload those.

  • Should I xfer HDV 1440x1080i to ProRes 1440x1080p for editing and internet?

    Hello:
    I still get a bit confused about Pro Res, etc. So if anyone can point me in the right direction on this I'd be thankful.
    I shot HDV video at 1440 x 1080i (interlaced) as that's the format my old-ish Sony HVR-Z1U (already shot, looks great - that's the camera I had so no lectures).
    My question is should I transfer it to ProRes 1440 x 1080p (progressive) for editing and later encoding as h264 video for the web? Is there any advantage to doing this and if so at what stage should I do it?
    Should I do before the edit? After the edit (and before the h264 encode)? Or is it necessary to do it all?
    Final output is internet only.
    Thanks in advance for any help or pointers

    Good information. Many thanks.
    On the contradictory element... I have heard (and occasionally practiced) that bringing in the video from tape as ProRes speeds up the editing process (doesn't take so long to render, etc.). I'm all for keeping things as simple as possible and keeping things native would be best - but don't you find it takes up more drive space and takes longer to render?
    My project will be 20 mins in length when completed, and does involve some green screen chroma keying - so I'm up for anything that does not need constant re-rendering (which has been an issue when working with native/uncompressed HDV video).
    Thanks again.

  • I have an illustrated book stored in iPhoto projects that has been printed once but will be annually updated.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, will this still be available to me for editing and reprinting.

    I have an illustrated book saved in iPhoto projects which I plan to update and reprint in future.  If I upgrade my Macbook to Mavericks from Yosemite, will I still be able to access, edit and reprint this?

    If you're going to update the book each year I suggest you follow this tutorial to save the book in it's own library.  That isolates it from the day to day library which could experience problems resulting in loss of project, i.e. the book: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date
    The book library is often small enough that it can be copied to a CD or DVD for off computer backup.

  • I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

    I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? To create a personal cloud?
    Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:

    (used for remote working)       (Used for home working)     (used for heavy CAD and rendering)    (not being used for anything at the moment)        (& iPods)
    I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
    Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
    I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    (*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
    Kind Regards
    Joe

    The diagram was supposed to look more like this......

  • How to use same jsp for edit and add form

    Hi,
    I would like to use the same .jsp file for edit and add. I just want to change a few controls based on edit/add mode. How do I configure this in the jsp?

    In the environment I currently have access to do not have similar setup.
    Let say you setup the DFF1 default value to $HEADER.customer_name, the name of the DFF is CUSTOMER_NAME, description can be anything.
    In DFF2, default value should be a SQL, where you can reference the DFF1. For example, SELECT DECODE($FLEX.CUSTOMER_NAME, 'ABC', 1, 'DEF', 2, NULL) FROM dual
    In this case, you can reference the DFF1.

  • Duplicates.  I use iTunes match.  When I run exact duplicates, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other.  Which one do I delete?

    Duplicates.  I use iTunes match.  Two questions:
    When I run exact duplicates on the library on my Mac Air, I get duplicates that say uploaded for one and uploaded with a cloud for the other.  Which one do I delete?
    Some of the duplicates say matched and matched with a cloud.  Same question - which one should I delete?

    I'm not sure I understand the question.
    First I would update your iTunes match.  iTunes match will tell you what is duplicates and then you can just delete them from the library. 
    Second, the course in a situation like this is to delete ONE duplicate and see what happens.  Make sure you have that song backed up somewhere just incase it deletes it completely.  But usually I'd delete one and then see if it deletes both or just the one you pressed. 
    Thirdly, update iTunes match.  It usually does a good job of locating actual duplicates.
