Thanks Kyler..I just opened Qmaster for the first time. and the settings terminology
says nothing about “setup to share your cores “..This newby needs a little more help.
Thanks

Interesting…what about a 30 minute effects loaded project? I am using VBR one pass best.

Thanks everybody but I was looking more to gain insight as to why the difference in compression times
between the 3 tests I was talking about int the first post.

Hi Again Rafael,

I am now converted officially to ProRES.
Its all good except for render times. I do need help on render times. Last night i did 2 tests. Both exporting directly from timeline to compressor.

One used QT settings the other Mpeg2 settings. The mpeg 2 worked well the qt settings did not.
Plus the Mpeg2 was 1 hundred times faster compression.

Today I am testing a 3rd method…MPEG (no conversion as instructed) to compressor where I used the
Mpeg settings that worked so well last night. The render time is horrendous! So I guess I’ll go
back to the strait to compressor method.

Any comments? Thanks again.

Thanks Hector,

You and Rafael are good people!

THANK YOU WALTER!

Actually it was only one question and ypu answered it beautifully! I’ve been trying for days to
get any workflow question answered. I suppose in least in part because it envolved JPEG.
Thank you for speaking a language I can understand.

Perhaps we could talk again soon. Have a great day!

Thanks Shane,
Sorry I meant shooting in 1080i and rendering sequence to ProRes .
Another newby question…when exporting Prores sequence to compressor then do i need to
to select Prores in compressor’s QT settings once again?

Should I use Compressor’s Mpeg2 settings? I noticed that these settings don’t seem include
codecs.

HI shane..since your up late too…
I’m wondering why not just deinterlace everything. I make 30 minute programs for
dvd distribution and for delivery for local broadcast on DVD -downconverted from HD
to 4:3.

Using ProRES 1080i camera and FCP7 and compressor.

Thanks for a great response!

I have this:
using—FCP 7
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz….Camera…Cannon XHa1
Plenty of hardrives and memory

I have rerendered back to the original 1080i but need a little help with settings.
in FCP and compressor.
1. Do i change the settings to prores and render again using sequence settings?
2. Do i leave settings on highest precsion in the video processings?
3. What settings should i use in compressor?
4. Are there more than 1 ProRes codec…which one is Best.
5. Are you saying with adequate hardrive/processor and proper bitrate that JPEG2000 caused my jerky
playback in the Canvas?

Please advise me as to the best Quality workflow beginning with an important 30 minute project that has been shot and edited in 1O80i …then rendered (with compression markers) to ProReS

I have exported to quicktime conversion and the movie looks great but here this problem..

When compressing to DVD SD 4:3 either directly to compressor or QT then compressor. Need best results when played back as a dvd. (the 16:9 letter boxing and aspect ratio is perfect)…Need advice on workflow/settings starting with ProRes. to compressor

Thanks George Sloan sloanmotion.com
