  Vegas and Digital Juice’s Drag and Drop

  Posted by Tyson Onaga on September 20, 2013 at 4:12 pm

  For anyone who’s purchased/used DJ’s new Drag and Drop items (.mov files).

  After installing a DJ DnD package into the Juicer and then exporting an item, you have something like:

  [1] X:/DigitalJuice/Juicer 3/Catalog/DNDLS_V01D01D_R1/Source/BouncingGlow.mov
  [2] X:/Exported/DigitalJuice/DragDrop/LightSweeps/BouncingGlow_exported.mov

  [1] is the original from installation; [2] is the Juicer-ed export

  The Test Setup
  a. Put [1] in Track 1; Compositing Mode Add; Mute
  b. Put [2] in Track 2; Compositing Mode Add; Mute
  c. Put a jpg in Track 3
  d. Move timeline cursor into the DnD event.
  e. Unmute Track 1; take a look; Mute
  f. Unmute Track 2; take a look; Mute

  I’m seeing the SAME thing in (e) and (f); i.e., the same result using the Source .mov [1] as with the Juicer-ed .mov [2].

  .mov Details
  [1]
  12 MB
  1920x1080x24
  60
  Progressive Scan
  66.3 Mbps

  [2]
  121 MB
  1920x1080x32
  29.97 (NTSC)
  Progressive Scan
  664 Mbps

  The only changes between [1] and [2] are:
  – 60 fps to 29.97 fps
  – 66.3 Mbps to 664 Mbps

  A framerate change and a TENFOLD increase in the bitrate.

  Questions
  1. Is the Juicer making an unnecessary bitrate increase?
  2. Is there any downside to using the “Source” .mov, as [1] above.

  Thanks.

  There is NO downside using the “source”.mov files.
  And i doubt there is any bitrate increase.

  Just save the contents in the source folders of your Drag and Drop
  collections, so that you dont have to use the Juicer again when you are ready to work.
