Broadcast Specs - best practices....

I'm about the deliver a PSA for broadcast and have been receiving broadcast delivery specs from networks.  Wondering why MPEG is the recommended format in this instance when it seems to deliver less color depth and bitrate?  Wondering if delivering in ProRes 422 or NNxHD is a better way to go to get the best quality.  Thinking perhaps MPEG is the only format that stores closed captioning in the meta-data which is why it's preferred?  Anyone have experience delivering spots for broadcast with any advice?

 

Thank you!

Re: Is it O.K. to embed an anamorphic clip (4x3, 720x480) into a Square Pixel 16x9 Sequence?

0

The goal is to burn the dvd files to bluray disc.

 

The original  clips, which are rectangular pixels are 720x480.

 

Then I place it in a square pixel timeline, 16x9.  The sequence frame size is 720x480.

 

Which I don't understand.  It's the same size as the clips, but, when I install the clips, they are thinner.

It had black bars on the sides, so I just used ppro upscale and increased the image to fit the square timeline.

I increased it exactly 10%.  (to 110)

 

It's all DV footage, so it looked decent enough when I tested it.  I'm thinking should I keep all the sequences in 1.2121 to match the rectangle pixels in the clips?  OR is the using the Square Pixels the way to go?

 

I'm burning the exported dvd files and placing them on a bluray.  8.5 max bitrate.

 

Thanks for your advice!

Note: be aware that these forums are now in the process of a major change. As explained on the main forums pages (e.g. "Important Community Announcement" Premiere Pro ), posts from 8/22 through launch (scheduled for Sept 9) will "be lost." So be sure to copy any information you want.

 

I agree that "transparent" as a background option does not work for Open Subtitling. There is no 0-100 for Open Subtitling background.

 

Are you trying to use Open Captions or Open Subtitling? They are not the same.

A custom frame: 864x486 pixels Par1.0 will give you 16:9

A 4:3 non-square pixels in a 16:9 square pixel will look like this:

Letty,

 

Aren't you the person we just had the big discussion with about upscale to Blu-Ray versus DVD last week?

 

DVD and Blu-Ray use very SPECIFIC specifications. Otherwise it is not a Blu-Ray or DVD.

 

If you are creating content for DVD or Blu-Ray disc, you must follow those specifications and cannot make up your own stuff.

 

So, if you have 4:3 SD clips and want to put them in a widescreen sequence, then choose DV WIDESCREEN. Not your own home-made settings.

 

DVD content is 720x480 ALWAYS, whether clips are 4:3 or 16:9 - the different pixel aspect is what sets them apart, but DVD/Blu-Ray are not going to accept SD clips that are not 720x480. Or will TRANSCODE to 720x480 to make them compliant (but all the changes will hurt quality).

 

Good luck

Thanks Neil. I have never directed premiere pro where to save my project files so I assume that by default that they are not being saved in the root directory.

First, the open projects normally list the folder tree across the top of the window.

 

And of course ... go into your Project settings dialog, and it shows you where the project and other parts of it are stored on disc.

Hello everyone,

 

I managed to export the video in its original quality with no issues.

 

All I had to do was download this codec pack: Download K-Lite Codec Pack

 

So it looks like it was a codec issue after all.

 

Thanks all for your help!

I've discover that Pc is with this stats while blinking happens:

GPU is 26% working

RAM is 47% used ( 30GB)

 

I don't know what the hell premiere is doing (even in second plane) but it's working even if i don't touch it.

 

P.D. No hard drive activity, so issue does not come from hard drives...

Thanks, that sounds right.  I've read to keep all the settings the same, footage / sequence / export. So if it's not square pixel footage, don't put it in a square pixel sequence.

 

So, my 720x480 dv footage must go in a 'dv' type of sequence, ie:  DV 1.2121 16x9.  Is all that correct?

 

One last quicky:

 

What about later on when I want to have my final destination a digital file to play on computer?  I thought all computer screens use square pixels....  How do I convert my footage to square pixels for online viewing? Do the presets to that?

 

Thanks for your brain power!

You can change Open Subtitling to Open Captions, but not the other way. So be sure to have a backup of your project just in case.

Yes you can but why should you. Converting to square pixels is only useful for uploading stuff to the internet.

So you have your footage in the DV WIDE sequence at 720x480 with the 1.2 PAR, but then you want to export for web/computer viewing with square pixels (which is what you want, no rectangular pixels). All you do is create an H.264 export that is 864x486 with 1.0 PAR, and also no fields (progressive) and that's that. But no need to change the sequence, just the export settings.

 

Regarding this question (I believe to Ann) - "I thought the max for SD for dvd was 720x480 ?"

 

That is correct, DVD is 720x480 (or 720x576 for PAL). Her specs were for WEB output. But make sure you use progressive since interlaced (upper or lower field) does not look good on computers).

 

Thanks

The general consensus among editors is to NEVER install the K-Lite Codec Pack on your computer as it can cause issues and is not removable. Hope it works out for you, but just wanted to add this for anyone reading this thread in the future, avoid K-Lite.

Hello Jeff,

 

Thank you for your reply on this. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of issues? I am only asking this because my colleague is a year-long subtitler and has used K-Lite Codec Pack for a long time, never noticing any issues in her computer.

 

Is there any alternative for this? Some other software?

 

Thank you in advance,


Re: MXF Export - Quality loss

Well honestly - I don't know offhand. Probably used to know from what I read online and since forgot. And maybe this is outdated and I'm too old-school, but for years and years I have seen posts here and elsewhere saying to NEVER do that. So that's what I go with. At least in the past, it was said that once you installed it, it was not fully removable and if there were issues it might take a Windows reinstall to get rid of it.

 

Thanks

Hello again,

 

I do know that there is software who helps you clean up your PC of programs' leftovers, since most of the times something is unistalled it leaves traces behind. I would be very surprised if it even escaped that! But I really value your input, I will look into it with out IT department asap.

 

That's very true. I hope it does not happen again, otherwise I will have to bother the forums again!

 

Thank you all so much,

So a quick search found this, though several years old - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/320568-Want-to-use-K-Lite-DON-T-DO-IT%21

 

It covers both sides, for and against K-Lite. I think the gist of it is, why install a TON of codecs just to get just ONE codec you might need - potentially causing conflicts with codecs or codec settings that were already on the system. And perhaps creating registry issues that are very difficult to undo. But again, this was years ago and maybe things are better now, but it still makes sense that installing every codec known to man when perhaps you just need one is overkill and could have unforeseen consequences.

 

For someone that edits for a living, paying the bills with it, messing up the edit machine (with deadlines looming) is a scary proposition. So just be careful what you install.

 

Thanks

So I am beginning the process of upgrading my system for better performance. On Adobe's system requirements under graphics cards, I noticed that the NVIDIA 1050 Ti is not listed but lesser weaker ones are. Does this mean 1050Ti's aren't that compatible?

 

I was told that those on the list are just "recommended", so I'm not too worried about it but thought Id ask while here.

Thanks, so for export to disc.... I should keep the pixels in their native rectangular format (no squares) when editing and exporting.

 

But, when I want my final destination for Web and computer viewing, then, I convert it to square pixels and can use your specs in your prior post.

 

Footage native rectangle pixels = disc / hdtv viewing 

           Convert to square pixels = Web streaming / computer viewing.

 

I hope I wrote that all right?

 

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again, but what I don't get is this....

 

The film footage should match the sequence settings... and the sequence settings should match the export settings for best results.

 

But when you say "to export in square pixels for web viewing, to simply select H.264 w/square pixels "....  but that goes against the whole "every thing has to match" idea, because my sequence and clips are rectangular.

 

Does the H.264 preset convert the rectangles to square pixels?

 

(and of course I want rectangular pixels for the disc because hdtv uses rectangular pixels best)

 

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm very confused.

Re: Footage won't reconnect in newest version of Premiere

Wanted to update with a solution for future:

 

Spent a few hours with Adobe support, their solution was to rename and relocate files then reconnect. 

 

Transcoding the files also appears to work.  Thanks for that suggestion. 

 

Considering I have hundreds of clips and a few terabytes of footage, neither is an ideal solution, but all is not lost. 

 

Adobe couldn't really identify the issue, a Dolby issue was floated as a possible problem since that is no longer supported.  But nothing seemed to account for the fact that with two clips from same camera/same day/same settings/same source location, one would import fine while the other would not.  And even if you could import the clip into a project, I wouldn't necessarily be able to relink it.

 

Hopefully just a specific issue to my circumstance.

 

Thanks for the input everyone.

Hi Jeff, 

 

after some testing, it happens with this project that is so big.

 

I just opened an empty project with some material (4k proress) from this documentary and it works fine. it's not blinking.

 

I've to check with other projects (spots and small edits) to see what happens. I hope have time this week to do those testing, now i'm immersed in this documentary.

One thing I've noticed with large projects is somehow the project file gets bloated. Try creating a brand new project, then IMPORT your entire project into this new project. For whatever reason this can often fix issues like this.

DVD uses very specific video files, which is why we say not to change anything in that workflow. You must give Encore (or other DVD software) what it expects. The set-top DVD hardware only works with one kind of video source that meets DVD specs.

 

When creating clips for online/computer viewing, keep in mind that software video players typically do NOT respect the PAR of the clip. Premiere knows how to display widescreen clip with 1.2 PAR, as does the DVD player, but other players do not and typically will simply assume the clip is using square pixels (1.0 PAR) and will display accordingly, changing the intended shape of the displayed image.

 

Since we cannot rely on PAR to get the result we want, we must instead change the actual dimensions of the image, to come up with an equivalent end result using square pixels.

 

Ann had suggested 864x480 for widescreen SD video, and I don't disagree as the math works. Take your 1.2 PAR from the original footage, and do 720 * 1.2 = 864. We are creating a 16:9 image right? So 864/16 = 54. And 54 * 9 = 486.

 

So you have 864x486  and divide either side by 54 and you get 16:9 so that is the correct ratio using square pixels.

 

However, not to confuse things but if I go to Export Settings and select H.264 as the Format, under Preset I can find various presets for YouTube 480p SD Wide, FaceBook 480p SD Wide, iPad 480p Wide, and they all use854x480 rather than 864x486. I think probably because they want to keep 480 on the right, and they just fudge the numbers a little to get the other side of the equation as close as possible to 16:9?

 

What to do? If you have a Premiere Sequence that is DV Widescreen (720x480 with 1.2 PAR) and you want to export for upload/computer viewing and NOT DVD, then quite simply select an appropriate 480p wide preset and the work is done for you. Look at the presets mentioned above and you will see 854x480, with 1.0 PAR, and also Progressive - remember we never want to use interlaced video online, doesn't look good. Even if the source sequence is 480i (interlaced), don't worry, when you export using a progressive preset (480p output) it gets deinterlaced automatically. Just pick a preset and export and that's that, you don't change any settings before export.

 

Here's an example and the source is actually 1080i, but doesn't matter, it's the export settings we are concerned with. All marked in yellow, those are the defaults, I have changed nothing. Just selected the YT 480p SD Wide preset.

 

480p Export.jpg

 

I should also mention that for exporting SD video as 4:3, with 1.0 PAR, the dimensions become 640x480 (see available presets) for online viewing. Again, the math is a little off since DV uses 0.9 PAR and so 720 * .9 = 648, but the industry chooses 640x480 and that is actually truly 4:3 if we divide both sides by 160. So basically, DV video is just a little weird with the frame sizes and PAR things....square pixel video is easier to deal with when doing math!!!

 

Hope this helps

How can i replace lowres path with Highres path on export

Hi, i have a problem with `attaching` highres path with lowres path on "Export"

 

Points to be noted:

  1. i have lowres path and highres path in my drive. i,e /highres, /lowres (both of them having same filename & extension)
  2. i do editing on lowres files once editing is done, i need to apply editing on Highres files

 

here is my export code:


var outputDirPath = 'F:\editing\final';

 

varjobID = app.encoder.encodeSequence( app.project.activeSequence,

                                        outputDirPath,

                                        outPreset.fsName,

                                        app.encoder.ENCODE_WORKAREA,

                                       1);

 

Question:  how can i replace "lowres files" with "highres file" on export (Note: i don't want to use "Default" Adobe proxy attching, i have already generated proxies which is used by other apps, so i want to use that ).
