Why do you guys prefer Shutter Encoder? by unnamed_enemy in davinciresolve

[–]greenysmac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shutter Encoder is a Swiss Army knife. - Attach/detach video from audio - Do what Media Info does (a right-click) - remux/rewrap clips (no encode) - Do audio normalization - Do constant quality encoding

You can open and save into codecs that people don't normally have access to anymore. It has watch folders.

Sorry to say - but this is like learnign Resolve. You'd rather use the simpler tool you're familiar with than spend 20 or 30 minutes understanding how this tool works. That is infinitely more accessible than FFmpeg which BOTH are using.

What timeline color space/output color space? Davinci Resolve by Present_Following416 in colorists

  1. Hit SHIFT+9 and switch your project over to DaVinci Color Managed. Choose SDR. 2

That's it. Either your system will know what your HC-X2 is, or more likely it's Rec. 709 and you're outputting in Rec. 709.

Until you know enough to be able to tell me why this isn't the right choice, you don't need to worry about it past this.

Complete beginner: what should I learn to create short tech videos with animated text, icons, screenshots, transitions, and visual explanations? by Maximum-Page3433 in premiere

[–]greenysmac [score hidden]  (0 children)

None of those things. Get 20 hrs of doing tutorials.

Get a feel for the basics. Like 20 hours of learning.

Start with the Adobe ones. Then move on (ideal) to LinkedinLearning (well produced, your local library may provide them for free.)

It's like you've gone to a woodworking shop and said, "I want to build fancy trellises" but first you should learn how the tools work.

Premiere goes Not responding after every clip. by unrealraven in premiere

[–]greenysmac [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's the 4:2:2 AVC (H264) material.

Here's the problem.

You have H.264 content that's the Advanced Video Codec, and the profile you have is high 4:2:2 intra-frame and format level 5.1. Right there, that tells us everything we need to know. This camera you shot with did very little compression. Take a look: its overall bitrate is 253 Mbps. That's why it's 60 GB for 30 minutes. It'd be about 120 GB for an hour.

The concern is the high 4:2:2. This is good for a color space with this codec. You've got as much chroma as any camera could typically provide, but your hardware can't decode this 4:2:2 material in real time. That's why your system isn't playing well. Every time it hits a clip, it has to resort to the CPUs' generic use to decode it. Your Nvidia card and your i7 chip don't help you at all.

Path number one: You build proxies for all this. I'd recommend an MOV proxy with the ProRes Proxy codec, and your system should perform like butter. The building proxies are when you go to actually do your output. It's going to reference back to this 422 AVC information, and your system will take its sweet time exporting material.

The other alternative is you could transcode all this media to an edit-friendly codec. In this case, it would be ProRes, and that means ProRes HQ or ProRes 422. That is going to be quite large, minimum double, triple the existing material. If you do that, you probably won't need proxies, your system will work like butter again, but this time your export will be faster at the cost of size.

The TLDR here is you should either create proxies or create transcodes and edit with those, because this specific camera format won't perform well on your specific hardware.

I don't think it's a hack. If there are problems like overheating, you're not really going to get the NVMe group to support you. Nobody's really taking responsibility for the components.

Because

  1. Then I have to screenshot, upload to imgur, get the url, paste the url. Realize that people in the UK (and likely other countries) can't see the imgur link. Throw up my hands at the years of screenshots I have in imgur.
  2. Because I want to copy and paste.

Why does it work for posting and commenting, but not the moderation system?

Export in MKV format? by Maximooose_12 in premiere

[–]greenysmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray#Media_format

Blu-rays require encoding or an encoding that matches the Blu-ray authoring process, which ensures all assets are compatible with the hardware format. MKV has nothing to do with it

Hardware tools like Blu-rays REQUIRE being authored. Not just "thrown on the disk."

Typically, the compression type is H.264, but it can also be VC-1.

Realistically, it needs to be a correctly interleaved file, often known as muxing. Specifically, it's a transport stream, which is why you see a tool like TS Muxer mentioned as a free tool. https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer

search the r/vidoediting subreddit and I'm sure I've mentioned a free BR authoring tool before.

You're looking for how to get paid work or how to buy the best system for your work?

If the answer is: how do you expand into some paid work?

You talk to the people who know you. If you've done some small projects for people you know, those are the people you want to talk about, because they will vouch for you. They may have nothing to do with professional, regular services, but they know people. That's the idea of the multiplication power of networking.

If you go to some mythical website and ask to look for work, understand that most of them are based on commoditization, meaning it's the lowest price that somebody can stomach.

Urgent Need Help by lockwood-edits in premiere

[–]greenysmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I know nothing about your system, making it nearly impossible to really help you.

First questions out of the gate:

  • Did your system ever work?
  • What did you change that makes it not work?
  • Because it's urgent and this was 12 hours ago, did you try contacting Adobe?

I know it's easy to bash frontline support when we're frustrated, but for God's sake, you pay for the software. Why haven't you contacted their direct support?

I'm going to put in the best information you can get us, because this sounds like a media issue more than anything else. As far as what you've tried, the Creative Cleaner tool is almost a never-needed. The Mercury playback makes it sound like you're on version 24 or so.
