  • HD export issues – CS3 – Need help, please

    Posted by Jon Gulbrandson on February 25, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    Ready to pull my hair out. 🙂

    I captured some video w/ a Canon XH-A1 to a firestore FS-C .m2t @ 1440 x 1080 60i..

    Everything has been working perfectly, I have it all in premiere, edited… looks great.

    (Project settings are HD, btw… 1080)

    However, I can’t (for the life of me) figure out how to export without problems..

    I’m using Media Encoder.. and I’ve tried a variety of HD formats, so far the only thing that has worked slightly well was a big Flash video.

    I’ve tried primarily H.264, H.264 Blu-ray, and Quicktime. I’ve tried messing with all sorts of settings to get something that I can view.

    The problem i’m having, after rendering is complete, I open the video.. and it looks like garbage… It’s either
    a) pixelated beyond belief
    b) shaky and stuttery… hardcore dropping
    c) it has some weird color-grid frame tearing action (i’ve never done acid, but it looks like the video has)
    d) audio/video sync is way off

    or a combination of those

    Now.. I’ve used everything from VLC player, Winamp, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Mediaplayer classic to playback the files

    i’m doing this all on a XP, 3gb switch
    intel core2quad Q6600
    4Gb ddr2 ram
    (tons of hdd space, over 4 Tb, Sata2)
    dual Nvidia 8800 GT’s in SLI mode

    I’m trying to export this for my (backwards) workflow… the client needs SD 720×480… as my first HD project, I thought I’d edit it all in HD.. then output the HD files, then compile them in an SD project so I can resize & manipulate where the image sits, & render them down in a 720×480 16:9 for SD-dvd playback…

    at this point, i would like to output a decent HD file so I can take advantage of youtubes HD playback so I can show the client different samples of the text I’m using…

    now it’s just a headache.. any advice would be appreciated.. thank you!

    Okay, I did move a step forward..

    I used these settings

    Quicktime
    1920*1080
    Quality 100
    H.264 codec
    progressive
    29.97
    Square pixels
    31k kbps bitrate
    AAC 44 Stero

    Now, It’s definitely not progessive.. i can see some interlacing effects, and some weird color sampling “halo” effect around my subject.. it’s minor… but…

    I posted this a while back. I think i solved the problem by using MPEG. I may have been experiencing some hardware issues as well. I eventually upgraded to win 7(64) and CS5.. never looking back.
