Still UNRESOLVED, the export quality is so poor, as described above and you can download and see those 2 clips. what else should i check ?

i admit i'm a beginner with FCP. i thought when the green bar is shown, the system is fast enough to render in real-time ? in this clips there are no adjustments. all raw clip. what bothers me more then preview is the exported quality. see the short clip above. one of them was exported from FC...

FCP 7 poor export quality - lost & need help :no: confused about the quality i get in previews and exported clips compared to the original clip. What am i doing wrong ? The footage was from 5D mark II transcoded to ProRes at 720 x 486. the time-line has green bar, the RT set to high quality...

really likes the gun & run kit from IDC. also how do you measure exposure for video mode ? i already have Sekonic L-358 that i use for stills, but in this video they mentioned it can be used for video too: http://www.sekonic.com/products/Sekonic%20L-358%20FLASH%20MASTER_video.asp i just don't...

i found this review of various rigs: http://www.cinema5d.com/news/?p=1474 indeed expensive ! you mentioned you have a shoulder mount and tripod setup ? could you post a picture with description and price ? btw. what is the best technique to manually focus precisely, i find it quite...

.H264 to Apple prores before editing ? are you encoding the default .H264 codec into Apple prores or other before editing ? is that just for speed purposes ? does it lower the quality to encode it into different format ? http://www.video.bhphotovideo.com/

Sorry for being so ignorant. So the only audio from the short film was obtained through the shotgun mic on 7D ? H4n for monitoring of sound levels to adjust the shotgun mic gain on 7D ? But not used to actually record audio ?

Glad to hear the sound issue is not really an issue in real world filming... So the H4n is also mounted on the 5D while linked to the 5D? That way you get focused sound at disrtance and also ambient sound from the H4N ? Which shoulder mount do you recommend ? please link... The short film was...

can you elaborate on: AT835b shotgun mic to a Zoom H4N ??? Is the AT835b shotgun plugged into 5D and the H4n is elsewhere in the room ? How do you balance then the 2 audio tracks with the video ? also, i found this was not aware of...

5d mark 2 accessory great project. could you recommend what film-accesories you are using ? in particular: tripod/head ? lights ? sound recording ? any stabilizers for in-hand / panning filming ? oh, and recommendations for a good script-writing workflow ? how do you proceed from an idea...

5D mark 2 best filming support system More and more interested using this camera for filming. It's silly and too jerky to hold just the camera for moving, panning without tripod. What is the best system to support the camera so it can be handled more as a regular video camera ? something like...

hi, i've a music event coming up. we've prepared video files that we want to be able to fade into each other - triggering that manually to sync live according to music. I know only about Isadora (http://www.troikatronix.com/isadora.html) but that's too expensive and even too sophisticated for...

CS5 for MAC 64-bit With the Snow Leopard coming soon this year, will that have any effect on the CS4 performance ? When could we expect CS5 64-bit for MAC ?

Cunsumer app iMovie beats pro Premiere CS4 rendering You must have nailed the issue. But I'm not denying my dissapointment. Pro app cannot match iMovie? Lame from Adobe that the 64-bit is only for PC. How long does a render from stills take on Windows?

render video from still images Premiere CS4 vs. iMovie 09 I tried all i thought was wrong in Premiere, including the pixel aspect ratio. I've even tried to render in half resolution 640x512 - but still i was getting about 22 hours to render 90min of still into video! In the end i had to launch...

Make sense. I've missed the pixel aspect ratio during the first run. I'll give it another go with a different codec and will report the time render difference. I've After Effects CS4, but since i do not use for this project, could i still utilize it somehow to run the render through it to gain...

wrong pixel aspect ratio ? Zensteve: Yes, it's all photos with various duration - 90 min total running time. The export rendering setting is 1280x1024, but the photos are actually much larger - about 3000x2000. I need them larger for panning effects etc. I'm using as well lot of transitions...

Hello, I'm rendering a slideshow from photographs that will be used during a theater play to enhance certain scenes during live performance. the render is extremely demanding on my single laptop. The projector resolution is 1280x1024 - so i'm rendering it in this native resolution with H.264 -...

I came to seek help and advice in this forum. Filmmaking is a new interest for me. This place is a fabulous resource.
