I face similar problems with CS6 It seems there are 2 ways to solve this(for me it worked) Premire pro supported Mpeg4 format and I installed some codecs along with kmpplayer&Klite classic media player that filled in the codecs to run the video properly! Do one thing when you are importing Video see which formats you see are available for import (commonly use a converter software to convert ur video into a different format MPEG4 and try out) if that dosen't work its a plugin missing!

IMHO, your source footage should be as high of bit rate as possible, anything I dump to YT or is over 25MBPS multipass encoded. 264, and the source is 60+mbps. I shoot on hacked GH2 at 60-10ombps Its the garbage in garbage out prinicple, YT will degrate your 100MBPS footage to lower mbps, but the more information you give them the better the end result will be. but generally the stuff you see on YT is garbage vs the source material.

According to my calculations, 24fps 720p video takes 506Mbps. If there was a video that moves only 1/101th of the whole picture on every frame, would it stay perfect even when compressed to 5Mbps (which is 1/101th of the maximal file size? Would using less colors also help? Say, 4 times less than normally (which theorically should take only 22bits instead of 24bits.

That should be expected. Bitrate is directly related to file size, so if you make the frame bigger, but keep the bitrate the same, the encoder will use a lower quality to keep the file size the same too. So your size stays the same, but your quality changes. (A good bitrate for 720 video might be low quality for 1080)

Hi Griffin, thanks for vid. Builds up my understanding on different codecs. I'm using a GH3 myself. Also using FCPX & Compressor. If let say I want to load a footage comparison for GH3 and I wish to upload the full 72mbps footage, will it be possible? Can't wait to watch your Sriracha short film: )

Maybe their projector can only read Windows NTFS file system or something. So you'd want to make sure your files were written in a format that the projector (or maybe their computer) could read. If you're talking about photos, then a. jpeg or. jpg extension makes sense, but not for video files.

I thank you for the tutorial, however I am still struggling to understand some of them, in the words, if I have one hour worth of footage and I want to burn it onto a DVD. What format would be the best without distorting the quality of the video? Thank you very much

Hi Griffin, thank you for your efforts to keep us informed and formed. I would like to know please how can we conform DSLR footage from 60p to 24p in Final Cut Pro X if we no longer have Cinema Tools? A video tutorial would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Depends on what software you're using. In Final Cut Pro X, you can encode Proxy versions of your files (lower quality, and in the preferences, switch to Proxy editing mode. When you're done, switch back, and you can export the full-quality end product.

Hey. I am a big fan: ) I want to ask you about what computer I should buy for my video editing. I can see you use a Mac. Is that better? You can get a Pc with the same specs for half of the money you can buy a mac for. Why do you use Mac? :)

Do you mean: 'What is the closest compression to uncompressed? ' RAW, can't be compressed and still be called RAW. There is no way of actually exporting RAW video files (like. r3d, or Alexa RAW) but you can export in OpenDNG (image sequence.

What about problems with color correction? With h. 264, the blacks are too black, and there's often a white fuzz that gets added, regardless of how high quality you make the video. It's not very ideal for a movie look, nor is Vimeo.

What's the bottleneck in exporting a video in compressor? In other words, if I want to speed up my video from Final Cut Pro x to compressor using h. 264 compression. Should I upgrade my cpu or hard disk I/O if there's a choice?

You're right: 2 Mbps means your 60-second file should be 120 megabits, and (divided by 8) is 15 MB (megabytes. The files are always a little bigger because there's audio too, but that seems bigger than it should be.

That's to be expected. Most DSLRs these days shoot in H. 264, but many editing programs edit in a larger file size. (It's not necessarily a bad thing. The larger files are easier for the computer to manipulate)

Can explain when do I need to enable frame controls? I shoot with a portable cam like gopro or ion air pro which exports into mp4. Then I edit in Final Cut Pro x at 24fps full hd. Should I deinterlaced?

I am playing with 60fps 720p and once I export and start uploading it says it is gonna take approximately 8 hours to upload. Is this right? The video is only 5 and a half minutes long.

I exported my video from avid as pro res, can I take that file and compress it to h264 without going back to avid? I don't have the program in my home computer, only imovie and quicktime.

Hi Griffin, the wedding is over =. But is not the last marriage, so any help will be really appreciate. For example, how many cams you use and a single ceremony?

The K in kbits stands for kilo, 1000. The M in Mbits stands for mega, 1000000, which is 1000 times bigger than kilo. That makes 5000 K to 5 M. So yes: P
