But some additional graphics whether they're maps or whatnot would help. I understand what you're saying and I agree. Since people watch a travelogue series for the host's personality we do need to nail down what she does best and most comfortably. So we'll work on that. And making videos that are more to-the-point. Thank you again for all of this feedback. melon cat fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Aug 8, 2019 |

Every loving goddamn time I export this one video from Premiere Pro it starts one of the audio tracks with a quick scratchy click sound that is not at all in the actual track and I can't figure out WHY

Anyone still getting really slow renders out of AE? Or am I being a dummy for stubbornly not using Media Encoder?

I mean renders out of AE and AME should be relatively the same (why aren't you using AME?). Render time is a product of scene complexity and computer strength so if you're experiencing slower than expected it's usually one of those two areas. Short version: Gonna need a whole lot more info.

Convenience, I hate using AME for anything smaller than big batch exports. I thought 2019 launched with issues in this regard? I may just be underestimating the complexity of the comps I've been working in though.

I have a question for editors & post people working in small- and medium-sized post houses. Our production company is growing. We've been working with big-name clients for some time and we're starting to sell projects that are larger in scope. Our old methods of data storage (primary work drives, many many backup drives) aren't going to cut it when it comes to projects like the hour-long documentary we just took on. Our largest storage method right now is a server that's primarily used for holding projects for clients that we're constantly referencing over and over. What sort of methods are the most efficient for smaller post houses like ours that are going to take on big projects like this one? What do other post houses use? I'm sort of in the dark here, working in Dallas where there aren't too many post houses at a production company that I've been with since I got out of school. Just looking to hear what y'all think.

We're a 40 person ad agency with an 8 person dedicated video team (we were a production house and then joined - aka "were usurped by" - an ad agency 10 years ago). For our video team we have dual 50TB QNAP NAS' (one replicates to the other). All 8 Windows machine connect via 10GbE and we edit directly off the central storage. It's soooo nice. Was about $30K some years ago when we did it, but I'm putting together a smaller NAS setup for our interactive team that is much cheaper. Smaller QNAP NAS with 10GbE Connectivity connected to a $600 QNAP 10GbE switch and then, since those dorks are all on macs, Sonnet TB2 -> 10GbE adapters.

BonoMan posted:No offsite backups. Boss won't pay for it. Welcome to small business! I know the feeling. We have a studio and the post house is literally a second small house built on the same property about 30 feet away from the primary studio/office building. The landlord had a small family renting it when we first took over the studio but they moved out so he put some money into renovating it and viola, we got ourselves an honest to god Post House. So anyway, one set of backups is in the studio and the other set of backups is in the post house. If the potential destruction is limited to one or the other, we're totally gravy!

I'm actually finally on the cusp of getting him to pay for it. We've finally hit a tipping point of paying for proper infrastructure. It's exciting... seeing a future where I don't wake up sweating in the middle of the night thinking something failed.

Could always use the cautionary tale where Pixar nearly deleted toy story 2 and had to truck in a maternity leave producer’s server that was somehow still air gapped Course boss man’s takeaway will probably be “good enough for Pixar good enough for me”

They just brought all her hard drives back in.

Any broadcast goons here? I'm working on live virtual production with Unreal Engine 4 and studio cameras. We're using a Blackmagic Capture Card to capture UE4 video and send it to a switcher/compositor via SDI. During a full scale test, we noticed some significant lag between the footage from UE4 and the footage from the studio cameras, with UE4 being significantly behind. When we looked at the computer monitor, we noticed that there was no lag. It was even ahead of the image on the switcher. Unfortunately this issue popped up towards the end of the day and my brain was fried from troubleshooting at that moment so I didn't gather any hard data or information on the settings so I'm working on a checklist of things to check for the next test.

I want to start editing 4k files. Will my laptop be able to handle them without taking hours to render? I know there's a way to use proxies in Resolve but I've had it straight up crash from even trying to import HEVC files. I have an i7-8650 and a GTX 1060. And 16 measly gigs of RAM. Non-upgradeable.

Thoren posted:I want to start editing 4k files. Will my laptop be able to handle them without taking hours to render? Definitely would recommend proxies to make life easier, but I guess it depends on what kind of editing you're doing? Cutting a big 4k timeline, especially in Resolve isnt going to be much fun at all. Proxies creation will likely chug a bit, but a better answer needs a bit more info. What kind of source files (cam/codec), are you accessing files off of hdd or ssd, what do you want to render your finals as, etc...?

What kind of source files (cam/codec), are you accessing files off of hdd or ssd, what do you want to render your finals as, etc...? What I've tested so far have been 4k H.265 files from my GoPro Hero 7 Black. I plan on getting a new Fujifilm camera which does 4k 8-bit recording internally, though I honestly have no idea what that means yet. I'll probably mostly do 4k 30fps.* I'll transfer all my files to my SSD before loading them into resolve. I would like to render 4k files but I could settle for a downscaled 1440p or 1080p if 4k takes too long. Sorry for my cluelessness, and thanks for the help. * Meant to type 4k 30 fps whoops.

instead of proxy clips you could also reencode them to something less taxing on hardware like prores, that way you could still do cc

You could always sign up for a free trial of CC just to transcode? Personally I'd use DNxHR for 4k on Windows if you're cutting in Resolve. So what do you want to do, where is it going and how long is "too long" to wait for an export? e: oh wait the initial issue is resolve crashing on import of your gopro files... Probably need to troubleshoot that first... Bit of a dilemma. Can't transcode if you can't import. Ffmpeg will go h265 to DNxHR but it's not exactly user friendly. It's command line only. There are interfaces available, here's one that looks alright. I haven't used it personally but it should get the job done and it's free.

yeah, id just do the 30 day trial of adobe media encoder, just to see if this works. dnxhr seems like the right choice for windows systems. ffmpeg would probably work too, though really i never use it for anything other than h264 as it cant even push out an op1a file comforming to avids expectations, no matter how exact you are with the parameters

I’m trying to remember what a video effect is called, and I’m having an impossible time looking it up. It’s where you use a still shot with something moving, and you split the video into a bunch of vertical or horizontal lines and you delay the playback of each one at a time, so that the video looks like it’s waving or twirling. There’s an app called Time Warp that does this, but I also remember and art film from the 1980’s that did this. I also recall there’s some way to achieve this in a video editing program like Premier.

I've been using Da Vinci for years and ever since the update from 15 to 16 I keep running into this problem: https://ibb.co/ZBwTNP2 For reasons unknown to me, that giant blank space (circled in red) pops up and I can't figure out how to turn it back to normal. It takes up so much space on my screen because I'm editing on a laptop. Anybody know how to disable it?

Click the icon in the green circle (see my edited screenshot below) to minimize and close it. If that doesn't work, you might have another object that's outside of your current timeline view with the same keyframe section expanded. Try that.

This is really more of an audio question and maybe might be better for the audio hardware quick questions thread even? but it's about editing so I'm gonna ask here; please let me know if there's a better place to ask. I'm finally getting around to wanting to shoot some cycling videos. I live in Asia and tool around various places cycling which is pretty cool to see in my mind so kinda wanted to take some decent video with decent audio. I've got an audio recorder I mount to my bike with a/some omnidirectional lav mics for atmospheric sound, but I'm finding that if I have a gain set high enough to get decent sound during some cases (when I'm stopped, etc.) it blows the gently caress out of my mic between cars and wind when I'm moving. Is mounting two mics with different gain and fading between them (given the fairly clear in time demarcation between when the mic is getting blown out; i.e. when moving at speed vs not moving/slow moving) as needed something I should approach? Or should I just leave it low as I think I need and boost the quiet moments? At what point would I be messing badly with what I'm picking up by boosting the quiet stuff? For example, this is a mounting/gear setup shakedown I ran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_wHf68t7Ag Note this is garbo quality due to previously mentioned audio issues (also a lovely overcast day, and at one point the mic literally worked its way out of the recorder) and I haven't edited it at all, but I like the sound I'm getting in "quieter" times, but the gain setting just doesn't work with the range of noise I'm getting for example around 23:00 when it's blown by the wind (earphone warning btw)

I have a question regarding editing. (I've been editing for 9 years and a half and am still trash ) I read somewhere that x264/5 is terrible for editing, and using 'editing codec' files (like Lagarith, which I'm aware of) is better. Does this mean the stress load on PC performance will be smaller if I use .avi files Lagarith? And is there a good and easy way to transcode said files to said codec without much hassle?
