QuickTime doesn’t permit that sort of interaction with Premiere Pro; you have to manually go in and set the output parameters for QuickTime.

It doesn’t look like it sees them.

The workaround is to open an image sequence in QuickTime 7 (which it sees via the file menu) and save it as a QuickTime.

June 30, 2011 at 4:07 pm in reply to: Transcripts integration with FCP X?

I’ll speculate.

It’s not coming anytime soon. The only thing close to it is the software that AV3 makes called ‘get’ and obviously that’s not working in FCPX

They are using the same engine that Avid uses (neither of which is voice recognition, but rather phoneme recognition.)

June 30, 2011 at 3:54 pm in reply to: Best cloning software

Practically they’re both using rsync at the unix level.

I was reading somewhere that someone did a test and superduper was just a wee bit faster; but practically, no difference – I have clients that use both; I use Superduper.

Both can do scheduled backups, both can do incremental changes.

June 30, 2011 at 12:07 pm in reply to: frame-rate converting tool

Well, on the PC side, there’s some stuff from Rhozet and MainConcepts, as well a couple of others…including compositing software like nuke.

It comes down mostly to whether or not they’re using some level of frame blending or optical flow.
Most of the optical flow is down in software.

Telestream does some distributed computing that your budget might be able to afford.

June 30, 2011 at 11:40 am in reply to: Blu Ray Dub From FC Output

Not a problem Mark – lucky I own toast. This is for Toast 11, 10 should be similar.

On the Options (Bottom left of the DVD authoring screen) theel’s a button that says encoding automatic/custom. Pick custom.
Then I had to press a button that said ‘more’

This brought open a dialog box with three tabs: Dis, Menus, Encoding.

On the encoding tab, it needs to be switched from Automatic.

Now that it’s in custom, I have the ability to change the bit rate for my DVD – it’s set by default (better) at 4.0 mb/s. You can try cranking it up as high as 7. Do not adjust the maximum, do not set it higher than 7.

The math is 560/# of minutes = bit rate (when the audio is set to dolby digitial.)

So, if I had 60 (or less) minutes of video, 560/60 = 9.333333
The hard limit on a DVD is 9 mb/s; but that doesn’t include the necessary space for audio.
8 mb/s is a safe choice.

If you have more than 80 minutes, that number has to drop from 7, to be able to fit your video on a DVD.

Best,

Jeff G

June 29, 2011 at 11:11 pm in reply to: The best codec to use in Premiere?

[Tom Durham] “> When I select a timeline preset for DSLR, it says the codec is MPEG I-frame. Is that the “editing” version of H264?
“

This is meant solely for quick preview (Rendering.) When you go to export, it (by default) ignores these files unless you specifically use them; Otherwise, you final export is drawn from the raw material (but obviously the export is therefore slower.)

[Tom Durham] “> When I throw different footage of different codecs on my sequence, and then go to output, does it first render the whole thing to the sequence codec, and then over to my output codec? Or does it take the source files and bump directly over to the output codec? Seems like the latter would preserve quality better.
“
No sequence codec. That’s the hard thing to wrap around. The Sequence has a frame rate and a size; the codec rendered out is whatever you specify for output directly. It’s the latter and it does produce better quality.

[Tom Durham] “Finally, unless I am “matching sequence settings,” no matter I do I can’t get the export settings to say anything other than 720×480 for my output size… and so it letterboxes my 1080 sequence into an SD file.”

That depends on what you’re making for output….what are you making for output. for example, all DVD presets are 720×480, because all DVDs are 720×480.

June 29, 2011 at 5:48 pm in reply to: final cut pro x problem with templates, generators and titles

I know some of the problems with FCPX were with motion 4/5; I don’t know how Motion 3 acts with that…

So, my next suggestion? Hmm. Ok, how about a disk verify/repair and a permissions repair?
