So, I’ve toggled the live update button and the red line only appears when the timeline is parked at a given time… It shows nothing while the image is being scrubbed on the timeline. Any ideas. I’ve also played with fast preview settings but nothing changed with this either.
My reaction is probably going to be “Duh”, Just one dumb question… where is the Live Update setting?? In preferences? Thank you. I’ll have to try on Monday.
Dave,
I never said that we couldn’t afford a better computer but if you look at my specs from my last posting you’ll see that I have a pretty sup’d up Mac.
I did try to generate a h.264 and a mp4 but I might have some of the codec settings wrong. The h.264 looked okay but I think that the 23.978 by nature is going to be a problem. I also did a h.264 at 29.97 and that also stuttered. The mp4 looked awful right off the bat. Can you recommend proper codec settings for the h.264??
I can’t believe that my mac is the problem dealing with the data rate, it is highest end system with 22 gigs of RAM. Should be able to process either of the files without choking.
Dual Mac G5 with 22 gigs of RAM running on local 2 TB drive running OSX 10.5.2. ATI Radeon HD 2600 video card – 256MB VRAM. We run AVID here – won’t deal with uncompressed file.
I did try to do that but the playback on my desktop was jittery. I also am not confident that the compressed files were a good approximation of our moves. Any thoughts. We have to send final files 300 miles away and we can’t see the results. Rather frustrating.
I looked at the Adobe page and I saw no visible solution. Is the “Image Sequence” a completely uncompressed, .mov file at 1920 x 1080 and, most importantly, does it work at 24p? This is for broadcast and there can be no image degradation.
Dave,
Thanks for the posting. With a trip down to our post facility we were clued in to the fact on a 1920 x 1080 there is no “safe zone” – that the entire window must be filled. The black I was getting was from framing out our still image and not filling the window. I was educated as to not thinking of HD the same as SD (4:3) for safe areas.
