Media Manage >Custom H.264 error
Hi all, I’m using media manager for the first time and am getting a touch confused. If anyone could clear some up that would be great.
Ok so I have captured using capture “Now” live no deck control. Named my clips and done 3 edits (sequences). It’s all uncompressed 720P 60 8bit.
What I now want is a duplicate folder containing the above Sequences, and only media in those edits with 30 frame handles. I also want to drop every other frame making the project 30fps. And use compression set to H.264
When I set H.264 it gives me an error.. 164? :-/
When I change the timebase from 60 to 30 I get “timebase change ignored” :-/Also if one clip is say 20 mins long. I have used 5 mins of that clip in edit seq’s from many random points in that clip.. will Media Manager just copy the full 20min clip or cut it down to many versions of that clip just including what I have used? Or give me one clip with the name I gave it with the un-used parts removed?
ie Race3_Paris_Wide (20 mins) becomes Race3_Paris_Wide single QT but just all used with handles or should I get a QT for every part I have used?
ie Race3_Paris_Wide A
Race3_Paris_Wide B
Race3_Paris_Wide C
etc…Mamy thanks

H.264 is a delivery codec…not an editing codec. You need to choose a codec that is in the EASY SETUP menu. If you are trying to cut using a low res version of the media, use OFFLINE RT.
HMmm….actually is sounds like you already edited, so what are you trying to do?

Yeah I see what you mean.
I need to deliver all the edited. though the edits are not specific to what I actually need to deliver more additional bonus stuff I’m giving the client are the full edits to music.
What I need to do is trim say 4 20 min clips down to just highlights and export each highlight with a seperate names
ie
20 min capture clips is called ontrack_germany.mov
i want to provide >
ontrack_germany_corner_Shot1.mov
ontrack_germany_corner_Shot2.mov
ontrack_germany_corner_Shot3.movThe above are exracts from a single capture..
In reality there will be about 60 highlights from each capture.. all needed as seperate clips.
Trim the fat so to speak.So I need to deliver many clips at H.264 not an edited seq, I take it I’d just export> for that.
Also I don’t understand why I can’t drop frame and create a 30fps proj from a 60fps proj :-/
Just trying to work out a workflow as I’ll be doing alot of this.
Cheers for quick reply.

Capture in a viable editing codec, such as DV-NTSC, DV50, 8bit or 10 bit Uncompressed.
Subclip the selects you want (Modify/Make Subclip). Name them what you wish. Put them in a bin. Select all the items in the bin, then select File/Batch Export. In settings, set up the H.264 settings you wish to use, and the destination, etc.
Done.
