Jeff,
I found a preset that seems to be working really well. A guy bought my video and he was able to download it and watch it on his iPad with no trouble. My video is 48 minutes long and I encoded it in 720p instead of 1080p, so the file size is 2.03 Gigs. That’s with using the 720p encode for portable devices. The quality is really good, even on my 32″ TV monitor I use as a preview monitor at my edit suite. So far, so good! No more disks for me…it’s all going to be digital download or streaming from here on out!

Download…man what a slow format! Is there any other format that would be compatible with Apple and iPads and all the other crappy portable devices? Man, give me a powerful desktop any day!! lol

One thing…that MP4 format takes forever to download. Even on my fast PC with SSDs, it says it’ll take 5 hours. For those on an iPad…My God…

Hello all! I resolved the problem. I was changing settings inside the encoder. Once I left all those alone, everything worked and I’m already burning disks!

Thanks for all the ideas and help!!! Much appreciated!!

Yes, I’m using PP to export the encoded BD file. I have tried exporting just a small section, but it still crashes. I will try both encoder and trying another project as well to see if that works. Is encoder better to use?

Thanks,
Phil

The raw footage doesn’t appear to have any banding, or much at all. I wonder why Premiere doesn’t have a 32 bit setting like After Effects does? This is rhetorical of course, but I would love to know why camera manufacturers don’t make prosumer cameras that shoot in 10 or 12 bit color? I bet it wouldn’t take much to do that!

OK, dopy me! lol The very edge of the AE interface screen was just barely touching the 3rd monitor. Once I moved that away…BINGO! lol I feel so stupid!

Thanks Tim and everyone who responded! One more question…would it be considered normal for a computer (off-the-shelf HP) to take over 54 hours to enocode for DVD onto a system drive?

This woman didn’t know what she was buying when she got this computer. I have since told her she needs to upgrade to a better system! She’s a “backyard” filmmaker who doesn’t know anything technical at all. I was asking these questions on her behalf.

Thanks,
Phil
