Don’t view it on a computer – view it via a monitor and it’ll look fine. You’re seeing interlacing artifacts.

How odd. It’s showing problem in QuickTime, but not in the NLE when exported and reimported?

Does it exhibit problems in QuickTime full?

Did you try a reboot? It could be garbage in your video card.

I’d love to. Is there a cloud editing system out there yet, beyond Avid’s solution?

January 24, 2011 at 12:03 am in reply to: 24 bit audio from Compressor

THe problem is that in using compressor (only) you’ll end up squashing the video again.

I was going to suggest using the ProRes preset – changing the audio from Pass-through to Enabled and then switching the audio to 24 bit.

Unfortunately, compressor doesn’t allow pass through of video. Fine, no big deal.

Send the video to compressor – choose the AIFF 48:24 setting.

Bring this back to FCP.

In a new sequence, either nest or copy the video tracks (ONLY)
Then lay in the 48:24 audio in FCP – make sure you change the timeline settings to match this.

I’d do some noise reduction in AE.

Since we’re going for quality…the higher the bit rate, the better…but the problem you’re going to run into, is that for a full size video, the size will be huge, especially if you want 1080p (I’m assuming it’s a 1080 piece).

A 1080 piece should be a minimum of 10 mb/s (for FLV (h.264) or h.264)
Start with the adobe presets and an IN/OUT point of 30 seconds (now you’re doing a SMALL test!)

A great compromise is a 940×540 – which means you can cut the data rate into 1/4.

You know the audio is a separate file from the video for DVD’s right?

You get an M2V file (video) and an AC3 file (audio) and DVDSP puts those back together.

January 23, 2011 at 11:48 pm in reply to: Alpha channel in Mpeg streamclip

What did you initially compress it as?

As far as I know, you have the Animation Codec (pretty universal), the DNxHD codecs (as I recall) and ProRes 4444. That’s about it.

You could play with adjusting the compression in the Animation codec, but that’s a dicey thing to do.

Wow – opened up Mpeg Streamclip (Mac). I think you’re SOL – none of the codecs that support alpha channels show that compatibility.

I think you’ll have to pick a different tool.

January 23, 2011 at 11:46 pm in reply to: compressing HD footage

The problem is play on the laptop/TV – you’re not specific enough – is it a mac? A PC? How are you playing it on a TV set? Apple TV?

Here’s ‘great’ H.264 settings. These are a bit higher than what Apple is using for Blu-Ray streams. This won’t work on a PC (it’s not an MPEG-4 container, it’s a QT container)

I can see two ways of doing this…here’s the first one (and I tested it)

Easy:
Use H.264 for DVDSP.
Average bit rate at 20
Max all the way up
Multipass.
Include PCM audio.

A bit harder
Technically? you could use QT in compressor and choose manually the H.264 codec
Make sure you set the frame size, frame rate correctly.
Then you can adjust the Data rate as high as you’d like.
Audio ought to be AAC (at 256) or PCM.

Right now the Canon 7D is shooting h.264 around 48 mb/s

Robin,

It’s been said, but Out of Memory isn’t that your scratch disk is full. If you’re using FCP 6 or 7 and working in HD, you need 4 gigs (that’s based on the Apple specs for FCP.)

Other possibilities – is it every project? Just one? What kind of footage is it?
