Hi Jeff,

you did exactly what I would have done. If they are on an older version of premiere, they need AVI files.

cheers

Hi Mark,

if you look for a inexpensive solution with including your existing raid system you can do that.
Everything else above means shared storage solution (San network).

cheers

October 14, 2013 at 6:16 pm in reply to: Best HD format for submission to Withoutabox

Hi Jan,

if you make up a sequence in FCP in 4×3 and then throw a 16/9 QT movie on it it goes letterboxed automatically. The sequence then is 4×3. If you send it to compressor it is handled as a 4X3 movie. Okay, back to the codec for your withoutabox.

* File size: Less than 2GB
* Frame: 480 px by 360 px at 30 frames per second
* Format: Flash Video (Codec: Sorenson or VP6 codec) or Quicktime
FLV videos using the H.263 video codec and the MP3 audio codec
MP4 videos using the H.264 video codec and the AAC audio codec
* We have had some trouble processing Apple QuickTime Pro files. Please convert this file type to an alternate format before attempting your upload.
* We do not currently support HD video. You will be able to upload an HD video, but the file will NOT be displayed in HD.

It says exactly what you have to deliver. I would deliver a FLV, but you need a payed plugin programme for it. So this is your codec with compressor:
MP4 videos using the H.264 video codec and the AAC audio codec
You can define your own specs in compressor.
This is your frame rate and ratio:
* Frame: 480 px by 360 px at 30 frames per second.

So you create a QT movie from FCP (4×3 QT movie) This movie you can compress via compressor within your specs.

cheers

Yes it is. We do that a lot with material we shot years ago. The problem you will have is the timecode in case of reconnection to the timeline. Try it with two clips first.

cheers

Rainer

By the way, getting all your clips on the same framerate and codec before you start editing must be part of your workflow. So you have to pay a little suffering money to learn a professional workflow. We’ve payed for it too.

October 14, 2013 at 4:09 pm in reply to: Compressor speed and quality for deinterlacing

What sort of file do you want to get out of compressor?
Is the material progressive?
Why do you want deinterlace when you material is interlaced?

cheers

Here you go:

Footage #1 1280×720 PAL@50fps 720P50, DVCProHD codec
Convert this footage to ProRes422 1080i (1920×1080)
Footage #2 720×576 PAL@25fps, DV50 codec
Convert this footage to ProRes422 1080i (1920×1080)
The quality of the DVCPro50 material is acceptable (if progressive!)
Episode is the best conversion programme to me.

Timeline is set for footage 1: HD960x720 with DVCPro HD 720P50
Your timeline then will be ProRes422 Pal

In case your DV footage is 4×3 I would choose a 720p codec or transfer this through FCP into a 16/9 sequence (you have to enlarge the picture and set it into frame).

cheers

Rainer

All footage must be either 25 f/s or 50 f/s. I would transfer the whole stuff on 25f/s through Episode using ProRes codec. Then everything cuts nicely including a decent color correction.

If you lock a video/audio track the stuff stays in place without filling the gap.
