  • HT3775 which Video format is best for adobe premiere CS5 and CS6

    I would like to know which video format to import in adobe CS%- CS^  because it looks like it's kind of slow. when I import the video file as mts

    FCP is a quicktime based NLE and your footage would be most compatible if with if encoded in the Quicktime Movie file format (MOV)
    As far as quality goes, DV is a codec (and not an especially high quality one), AVI and MOV are container formats and can contain a huge variety of different codecs which can vary greatly in quality.

  • Which video format is best to import into PrPro?

    I everyone:
    I seem to have a "lag issue" when trying to work with videos in my brand-new laptop.
    Here are the specs for the laptop:
    Dell Inspiron 17 w/Vista x64
    Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz/1066MHz FSB/ 3MB)
    4GB, DDR2, 800MHz 2 Dimm
    500G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
    I have about 20 video files on my HDD that I took out of an HD camera. Each has the .MTS extension. The smallest one is 6MB in size and the largest one is around 100MB.
    So, even if I import the smallest file, the Source Monitor window plays it OK, but if I cut a segment out of it and place it on the timeline and then try to preview it in the window on the top right side of the screen (where it says "Program Sequence 01"), it plays but with a VERY visible lag.
    So I was thinking that maybe I need to convert these MTS files into something more manageable so that I'm able to work with those files in PrPro.
    Can someone suggest a video format for it and the best way to do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Lesson 1: Always keep your original tapes safe, never fall into the habit of using a tape for a second or third time.
    I would try to convert your files outside of PR, because it carries such an overhead on an underpowered system. Google for a converter and you will find many links. Here is an example: http://www.ojosoft.com/video-converters/index.html

  • 4 cores or 8 cores and which video card to choose

    My father and I are presented with a dilemma. Should we get 8 core model or the 4 core model at several hundred dollars cheaper?
    I have never actually bought for myself a computer, and I want to make this one last. At the moment, 8 cores is completely top of the line, and assuming I choose such a model, I will probably have an exceptionally well computer that will last be many, many years.
    I am most likely going to at all times be running Windows and Leopard side by side using Parallels and have a game running in Windows and developing, browsing, chatting, watching movies, ventrilo, etc. in the other space.
    For this reason, would it be wise to purchase the 8 core model? It is considerably cheaper to add the extra quad core with Apple as it is nearly half the price of one found on newegg or a dell configuration. I really want this computer to last and use it for a long time and play the most top of the line games with my friends such as Age of Conan, Crysis, etc. Also, I will have a 24 inch monitor that I will also need my computer to power.
    My current computer cannot even run Age of Conan at the lowest quality settings. I figure if I want to be able to run this game at 1920x1200 resolution in Parallels while running applications on Leopard, shelling out the extra three or four hundred dollars would be worth it. Seeing as I will be using this computer for years, even though most applications do not use 8 cores now, they will then.
    I believe that the 4 core model of the Mac Pro does not allow for an additional xeon quad core, so if I did buy the single quad core model, I would not be able to add another quad core, thus limiting me. Also, even if there were, it would void my warranty.
    Also, I have heard of the 8800 GT causing some problems in the Mac Pro, typically in the first generation ones, however, I had seen cases of people noting problems in the January edition. I want to do a lot of gaming in this rig, and the 8800 is the de facto card of choice for most gamers, at a reasonable price. However, will it give me problems? I have heard of some people having 0 problems at all with this card. Will it give me those occasional blue and green lines through my monitor? Has Apple fully developed the drivers for this card? Will I have problems with it?
    Thanks for any help and I await your responses.

    Fromethius,
    you cannot assing CPUs to the VM in Parallels. In VMware you can select 1 or 2 virtual CPU for the guest OS, though that doesn't neccessarily translate 1:1 with your physical CPUs.
    As for games, neither VM nor Parallels with run most later games well; remember, shader support is only experimental right now, so your results will vary.
    I play games on Mac natively, but it depends on which ones you are after.
    The is no problem with the 8800 card. The issues talked about - which is valid - is it's subpar CORE performance. That hopefully will be addressed in a driver, but won't affect you.
    As for the system - get all you can afford. Don't wait for 'upgrades' - you'll never buy s system otherwise as something new is always on the way.
    I work with a lot of video so I have an 8 core 3.2 with 16GB or RAM - and would never want less. Does that mean you need that? Or someone else doesn't even need more? Not at all - you just need to see what you really mean to do. 4 cores and the 8800 should be just fine for you. IF you can afford the 8 core, in case you will do a lot of work at the same time, great. Otherwise, rather not skimp on memory. Anything under 4GB, IMHO, ain't good enough.
    Cheers,

  • Row of clips to crawl across the screen - Which video formats work best?

    I want to bring in short segments of video from Premiere in a crawl to introduce the steps of a tutorial as part of the title sequence. Source footage is HDV, and final product will be on DVD and YouTube, etc. I imported the entire Premiere project into AE and using the individual clips for the crawl. It works if I resize/crop them in a precomp, but it may be putting an unneccesary load on the computer. I am wondering how that is normally done. Should I export smaller clips from Premiere, and, if so, in what format? I watched a tutorial on Lynda.com thata had a similar thing using 'TIF' files at 10 fps for the crawling clips, but no explanation why.
    The entire video is short, less than 4 minutes and my system is reasonably capable.

    I'm a Quicktime guy, even on my 24 GB, dual-quad-core Windows box at home.  I like QT's PNG codec.  If you're not a fan of huge file sizes, Avid offers its DNxHD QT codec for both Windows and Mac, it's free and it's reputed to have extremely good image quality: the quality's right there with Apple's ProRes 422, which is NOT universally available.  I'm on Macs at work and Windows at home, but I'm yet to convince the techs to augment (gasp!) the codec selection in our edit suites.  So I don't have personal experience with DNxHD.  But one of the guys mentioned below sure talks it up!
    If you're at NAB right now, just go to the Adobe booth and discuss your needs.  Look at CS6.  Get your answers from the Horse's Mouth.
    Don't think you'll get a straight answer from Adobe?  Try to find a guy named Walter Soyka and grill him.  Very knowledgeable & authoritative.  So is another gent, Walter Biscardi.  You may find them at the Creative COW booth, or they may be busy running demos for other products.  These guys are g-o-o-d, GOOD!
    Premiere Pro CS6 is a LOT better than CS5, I'm told.

  • Which Video Card To Choose?

    I am looking to buy a Mac Pro and I'm not sure about what video card to buy. Looking at the Apple onlinstore I can configure with either a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or the ATI Radeon X1900. My main use will be to run Final Cut Pro and other graphics programs like Flash and Photoshop. Which card is better to have? Also, Why is there an option to buy up to 4 of NVIDIA 7300 cards, but only 1 of the ATI Radeon? What is the advantage of buying multiple NVIDIA 7300 cards? Can you use multiple ATI Radeon cards?
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Get the ATI Radeon X1900 by all means.
    See http://www.apple.com/macpro/graphics.html and
    http://www.barefeats.com/quad05.html
    Quoting: …Apple's Mac Pro GRAPHICS page shows the X1900's specs and performance so close to the $1650 Quadro FX 4500 and so far above the GeForce 7300 GT that the choice is a no-brainer for most consumers and professionals.…

  • Which partition format to choose to make second internal drive read/write for Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a new Mac Mini Server 2011 and I would like to split partition my second internal hard drive to use in Bootcamp Windows 7.
    I would like to split this drive so that I can have one partition in NTFS and other half in standard MAC OS format.
    Ive gone to Disk utility to split partition this drive but I only see the Format MS Dos (FAT) and FatEX.. I dont see FAT32 ! Is this correct..
    should I choose Ms DOs FAT so that when I got back to Bootcamp Windows I can reformat this partition into NTFS?
    Thanks community..
    loving the new Mac btw

    FAT is FAT32 is MSDOS
    exFAT is FATex
    Disk Utility select second drive media
    Hit the partition tap, select big box click 2 partitions,
    select 1 partition format OS X extended, select the other partition format MSDOS click Apply.

    Because you have a unusual setup, I don't know exactly how Bootcamp is going to handle it, you got to download the drivers and read the PDF.
    However when you insert the Windows 7 DVD to install, you first need to change the MSDOS/FAT32 format to NTFS using the Windows disk, Disk Utility or Bootcamp won't do it.

  • Which address format to choose for Chinese addresses?

    Hi;
    In Addressbook, I'm trying to enter a Chinese address. I'm standing in Beijing, can't get more Chinese than this.
    A Chinese address looks like this:
    中国北京市东城区东中街20号3号楼1311 100022
    Chinese addresses go from country (中国) first to apartment number (1311) in a single stream, with the postal code last for sorting.
    This has nothing to do with the Address format when I choose "China" under "Change Address Format". Is there another "China" that I should select?
    Any help would be appreciated -- I'd like to preserve as much of the chinese characters and formatting as I can.
    Additionally, if I can manually create a format that goes:
    Country-Province-City-District-address postal
    ... then I'd at least preserve the chinese formatting.
    Thanks...

  • Which video formats will work for sure in FrameMaker 11?

    I have done multiple test with somewhat discouraging results now. I want to embed a small video file in a FrameMaker 11 file and have it work in pdf. But even though this features should be able to work in both FrameMaker 10 and 11, my results are poor to say the least. I have tried multiple videoformats and sometime I am in luck and the video embeds and works, but most often it does not embed or it opens somewhere else on the page than the place where it was inserted. Is there a best practice for embedding video regarding file formats, distiller settings etc. I have spent several days now trying to make this work the way it is expcted to.

    I am looking at a new project where I will have to do exactly this, so I am also interested in an answer to studiosm's query.

  • Video Format when Creating New Project

    I'm using iMovie HD v. 6.0.3 and I'm wondering, when I first start the movie creation process in iMovie, which video format do I want to choose?
    DV, DV Widescreen, HD 1080i, HDV 720p, MPEG-4, or iSight? I will be exporting it to iDVD to burn the final copy to view on an HD TV.
    Thanks.

    iM is by concept for camcorders; usually, iM automatically detects the format of your device
    so, it depends on your source' format.
    if DVD is delivery-format, the two 'webcam' (the last in the list) formats are too small.

  • Video format and specs

    Which video format is the best to use for iPhone 4S ? What are the specs to use when I convert a video? What size? Frame rate? Video bit rate?

    Your screen resolution is 960x640 pixels but the size that you will choose depends of the aspect ratio. If you keep 640 pixel for height you will be safe.
    Keep the original frame rate
    If you don't delete the original video, 2,5Mbps is super for your iPhone (you can try 1,5Mb) and its about 20 MB (or 12MB) per minute.
