  • Exporting lossless (microsoft avi, codec = none) but Width=720 & Height=480. Why?

    Posted by Kevin Cotterill on July 12, 2013 at 7:44 am

    I am trying to export my sequence to a lossless file. I have chosen Microsoft AVI, codec None, however I am concerned something isn’t right.

    This is my Source Summary:

    1920×1080 (1.0), 25fps, Upper, 00:02:05:19, 48000 Hz, Stereo

    This is my Output Summary:

    720×480, 29.97 fps, Lower, Quality 100, 48000 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit

    Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I would keep the fields the same, upper. I would keep the frame rate the same, 25, as well.

    What’s the end delivery? What’s the file for?

    Going to 720×480 I think you need to make the pixel aspect 1.2 for widescreen.

    You are going from Pal to NTSC.
    Stick to PAL DV widescreen.
    That will give you 720×576 with a par of 1.4.

    These are just default settings. You can override them so they match your sequence settings. You can also create a new preset for your settings to make this a one-click operation in the future.

    Hi Kevin,

    When in AME, go to the VIDEO tab and scroll down until you see the settings for size, frame rate, etc. and that is where you customize.

    You might consider using the free Lagarith codec rather than uncompressed. This will be “visually lossless”. Still a large file, but certainly more manageable than uncompressed.

    Thanks

    [Jeff Pulera] “You might consider using the free Lagarith codec rather than uncompressed. This will be “visually lossless”. Still a large file, but certainly more manageable than uncompressed.”

    Lagarith is not just visually lossless, but mathematically lossless when used with RGB pixel formats. (Its YUV pixel formats are chroma-subsampled.)

    Also worth noting: Lagarith is Windows-only and may be poorly supported in other professional applications.

    If you’re trying to save something “lossless” I assume you want to stay at the original HD frame size/rate?

    Yes exactly. I want a source file with max frame rate etc that I can use if I ever need to do additional renders.

    Uncompressed AVI is going to be gargantuan…I might suggest you download the free CineForm codec from GoPro for such purposes.

    When you export, you can set the framesize, etc in the video settings tab.

    Are you sure you can export with the free CF codec.
    Dont you need Cineform Studio Premium or simular for that.
    I can export but I think that is because I have Neoscene installed.

    Yes, once the free version is installed, you’ll find it in the export options. The key limitation is that you only have 4:2:2 10 bit HD for general use…the utility will convert GoPro 3D, but you can’t do other 3D, no 4K, no 4:4:4, etc.

    It’s still extremely useful for no cost.
