I already try… but when I move my image on the viewer directly, well it moves my Z axe as well… that’s why I was wondering if there is a way to lock it

[Kim Bo]

I’m using 3D, but I don’t want to move the Z… only the X and Y

[Kim Bo]

I’m really confuse… I was really ready to make the move with Media Composer, specially that now I know what’s the best format to work with. And of what I saw in all the tutorial, it doesn’t seems to be to complicated for editing.
I heard everywhere that Media Composer is the best for editing… I mean, heaven if it’s a little bit more complicated than Premiere… after working more and more with it, I will get use to it…

What do you mean by: ”But when you need to layer footage, or add in stills and moves on stills…”composite” shots internally”

But yeah, I guess, the best is to try demo for both…

[Kim Bo]

Well, it’s not a must to work with DSLR footage… It’s just that I didn’t know about DNxHD, but now I understand better…

And I will still keep looking for the best way to work with subtitling with media composer… I mean big production are working with Avid, might be a way to include subtitling without doing it manually… if it’s not STL, it’s maybe another file format…

And also, the guy that is working the audio for my video is using pro tool… so I think it would be easier to work together both with Avid. I think we can export our project for pro tool… and he will be able to see all the separate track we use…

What you think?

[Kim Bo]

And why do you think it would be better for me using Premiere?

I already start some tutorial for Media Composer… and for the editing it’s seems to be quite similar as FCP. My big point it was where to start, the proper video format to use… But if I change my pro res for DNxHD 115 which is akin to Pro Res LT… I think I should be ok…

Media Composer is not the best software to edit video? I just don’t get why you highly recommend me to use premiere… Because of subtitling? Or because of the format of my video, because this… I can adjust myself…

[Kim Bo]

And if I Transcode my video with MPEG Streamclip in Apple Pro Res LT 422 and create AMA Link in Media Composer, would it be better? And I just heard that Canon DSLR footage works great with Avid AMA… but maybe it’s better to compress it before?

Or maybe, I can try a new way to transcode video for Avid Media Composer… something that would be a better workflow… I don’t know… it’s just that I’m use with Apple Pro Res LT 422… and of what I heard about Media Composer, it should be a great software to work with. So I’m ready to maybe change my way to prepare video for Media Composer…

And about subtitling, could you help me?

Thanks John!

[Kim Bo]

So then maybe the best option for me would be to AMA link my Canon DSLR footage. And at night I just transcode it, into Apple Pro Res LT 422 this will work well with Media Composer? Or it would be better to transcode it into DNxHD? What is the difference? Is the quality of my footage will be the same? I’m not really familiar with different format… but if it’s better for me to change the way to proceed, I will adjust for the best!

And for subtitling… I will need to test Subcap, but of what I understand, if I need to place it manually everytime… It’s gonna be so long… We cannot create a STL file? Exporte STL file from the one who’s doing the translation and importing the STL file to the final project?

Thanks for your help Shane!

Do we know how much youtube will re-compress the video? And Yes I was putting my video in SD and the kbits/sec was 1500…The quality of it was pretty good!!! I was just wondering if there was other possibilities…
but uploading a video of 10-20 gig on youtube it’s gonna take hours and hours, if it’s not days lol Cause just 1-2gig it’s like 3-4 hours of upload…I cannot imagine 10-20gig

[Kim Bo]

Hello,
Thanks for your response…and yes, the video is in pro res LT. For my youtube account, I can upload more than 15 min videos…we’ve got that privilege…
Taking the youtube setting in compressor sounds like a good idea…but still, if my video is like 80GB, when the compress is over… the video might be very big. I guess I will need to play with the setting…the kbits/sec…cause if the video is more than 1GB to upload, it.s gonna be very long for people to load the video as well…
Should I play with the setting of the youtube compress in compressor?

Thank you very much for you help
