Sorry for what is probably a stupid question to you guys. I'm wanting to transcode 4k60fps h.265 video into something Premiere CC 2015 will like. I've downloaded and used handbrake to convert it into h.264 mp4s but obviously h.264 still isn't optimal for premiere. I'd like to try either ProRes or DNxHD (I'm on windows 7). What's the goon-approved transcoder? They all look super malware-y when I google around. Cheers.

BonoMan posted:If you have Premiere can you just download the DNxHD codec and use Adobe Media Encoder to do it? I can't even pull the video from the h.265 into premiere to start this though. e: And I'd like to be able to do batch transcodes as well now that I think about it.

Thanks for all the responses. I only own the older 2015 premiere and not the newest one (trying to decide if I want to subscribe to it vs use other software). They don't support HEVC very well in the older one and I don't really want to encode into h264 because it's still a pig for editing apparantly. I'm hoping to find something external like handbrake that can do my transcoding. Powderific what do you use?

I would almost suggest contacting some animation forums or hub websites for artists or something like that and seeing if they'd be interested in hosting the video or showing it on their front page or something. I could imagine it being popular.

The B roll and overall video production is very good but in the monologue segments the host used the same sentence intonation for multiple lines in a row quite frequently (how her sentences started high and ended quite low like she was running out of energy speaking). I only noticed it because I found it a little irritating but I would never watch this kind of thing in the first place so I'm not a good representation of the target audience. I think audiences on youtube etc want there to be a "we're looking for THE BEST ______" theme to these types of videos but I liked that yours wasn't about that.

I'm at work right now but take a look and see if you can find it. Failing that I'd just look up other youtube tutorials and kinda search for things as you come up against barriers. Or ask in here.

FateFree posted:Hi guys, I have a small one minute video that ends abruptly and I would like to extend the last few seconds and maybe add a fade out, but I don't have any video editing software. Can anyone recommend something simple, free, or online that can do this? Davinci Resolve is free (for what you need it for), it's an intimidating looking thing but quite simple to add the media, drag it to your workspace, and drag the 'fade' effect onto the end of the clip (and a crossfade for the audio).

Poo In An Alleyway posted:So I’m having a weird issue in Resolve (running 12.5 but I’ll be updating to 17 once I have this project completed) where I’m clipping down a bunch of MOV files but a few of them imported into Resolve without the audio. They’re all the same file format, and were all recorded from the same source on the same day with no technical changes during shooting. All the clips play fine with sound in VLC but won’t import with audio attached, even on a new project. I tried running the footage through HandBrake thinking that might fix things but so far nothing’s changed. Maybe try installing resolve 17 on another device and checking the import. I've had a lot of issues with stuff not importing that resolved (heh) when I did system restarts so also try that. Maybe also start a new project and try important that stuff to see if it's a project-specific issue.

RestingB1tchFace posted:Hey guys. Got a reference (thank you TVGM) from the software/hardware board. I ripped my parents old VHS tapes onto the PC and unfortunately the audio and the video is just a little out of sync. VLC correction shows that I just need to delay audio by a few miliseconds. Of course you can't save the video with the audio correction. These are old...grainy videos. Really don't need a sophisticated program to analyze these things and attempt to make them perfect. I was recommended DaVinci Resolve....but even this seems like overkill for what I'm trying to do. You can do very simple and basic things with resolve very easily so I'd say go for that. You can even add in fades between scenes while you're in there doing the sync! Is it a static delay (like it's always off by the same amount) or does it change throughout playback? If you skip around in the video does that fix it?

RestingB1tchFace posted:I've skipped around a bit and it seems pretty consistent. So my guess is that it is a static delay. Just a slight pause caused by the Vidbox conversion. Just before you go through all that work, have you tried different players? Really want to make sure it's a problem in the file and not your playback.

Poo In An Alleyway posted:Not really a question, just a scream into the void. I directed a short film back in November that took several days of production with 2 different DOPs. The second DOP was great and covered for the first one for pick-ups and knew exactly what she was doing and what the shots required, but we got most of the shots for the entire film done with the first DOP who was....terrible. Just the worst. I'm going over all the footage across the entire shoot at the moment and this DOP decided that the tops of people's heads just don't loving matter. He also told me multiple shots looked great and didn't have any problems or needed to be reshot when they were either completely out of focus or too dark to see anything. I'm gonna have to let my college lecturers know that I'm submitting a salvage operation of a short that I absolutely don't want screened anywhere. Congrats, these constraints mean you just made an Art film! Sorry if this is obvious but you can adjust exposure and stuff when you do your grading, or separately. I don't know what your goals are with it but if you only had two days of shooting I'm guessing you'll be doing a week or two of editing, depending on your hardware you should be able to match the exposure, especially if you had similar locations and light on the second day for some of the scenes.

PittTheElder posted:Hoping this is the right thread for this, expected to find a GoPro thread in gadgets but no such luck: I recently did a ride along in an aerobatic aircraft, and they took a bunch of GoPro footage of me which is great, but the footage is in 5 minute slices, and each one of those .mp4s is like 4 gigs. Any recommendations on programs and video settings to combine and sample that down into a workable size as a single video? I probably don't need the full 4k quality. Handbrake to transcode to a smaller resolution would work.

Yep you can. Look up the read/write speeds if you'll be doing so, I think the Seagate Barracuda is a fast spinny drive but I haven't looked in a couple years. Be aware that most people use HDDs for media storage etc so you'll see a lot of recommendations for that type of drive, or for network accessed storage drives.

What tends to happen is that we end up with multiple files with names like "DJI_001.MOV" from the drone shooters. Yeah, windows Powertoys (free) has a feature called powerrenamer or something like that which gives you additional options if you right click on a selection of the files, I think you could tell it to change everything with 'dji' in it to add a suffix like that. I'm on my phone but that should get you started.

The course description just says I should be familiar with sound and video editing (as well as cameras and lighting, but that’s a different story), and I’ve got the whole summer to learn. DaVinci Resolve, absolutely no question. It's free and does everything you'll need. Some advanced stuff is behind a paywall but you won't need that stuff at this point. Have fun and good luck!

Kingo Ligma posted:No professional narrative or doco has ever been made in resolve, the workflow sucks and teaches you bad habits that will actively gently caress up real world workflows. He's taking like intro to film 101 and probably will be learning how to change project settings, cut clips together, level audio, apply crossfades, understand rendering, etc. At that level it's all basically transferable knowledge and resolve is so similar to premier and similar tools that I think it's completely fine. OP if you're a disgraced James Cameron who is trying to make his next film by himself then yeah you *might* need something more complex.

SkunkDuster posted:I started out with Hitfilm Express and am slowly moving towards Davinci Resolve. I'm not a professional editor by any means and never will be. Just a guy with a fledgling youtube channel using whatever is free to edit my videos. I never took any film classes in school nor had any other formal education in filmmaking. That being said, are there any good youtube channels that you can recommend that are on par with "film making for dummies" that I could use to make my videos a little better? I have no aspirations nor desire to become the next Kubrick or Ridley Scott. Just looking for some basic foundational material. I've always found that there actually isn't a great single channel for learning (that I've seen). A huge problem in this space is that 99% of the people looking stuff up are people trying to be youtubers, so as a result the videos tend to appeal to those types of people and they're obnoxious. When I hit a wall where I can't figure out how to do something I'll generally just google around and watch a bunch of videos discussing similar stuff until I find one that answers my question. I would treat these videos like a reference and not something where you should watch everything by a single channel.

I know there are professionally employed editors in here and to you I'm preaching to choir, but to the rest of you; the ones who are maybe editing on the side, getting the occasional professional gig, perhaps a bit on the younger and inexperienced end of the spectrum: Wouldn't this doc now become heavily voice-over'd instead of relying on the camera audio? Time to pick a central character that's already in some shots to act as the audience's chaperone and have them do a quick intro sequence about why the issue is so important to them, get them in the booth for VO segments? Good luck man.

Richlove posted:I feel that Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects are both sluggish when I am editing the time line or composites. In fact I feel the entire Adobe CC suite runs sluggishly when I use photoshop or illustrator. I would say it's not normal for videos to take longer than their playtime length to render but I look to the industry professionals in here to see if that's actually accurate. Certainly I would expect with resolve that a 15 min 1440p video with some effects would take around 5 min to render on my 9900k and 3090.

Trabant posted:Hello again, thread. I've tried a couple of new things in my "here's a thing I made" YouTube videos and wanted to get your opinion on it. This is the video: This was much better than I expected! I think the narration works well, the music fits, the project is very unique and interesting. I only have small notes:
This is a personal thing but I think the comedy shot with the other clip in there didn't land for me and I would guess not land with most north Americans/native English speakers. You should do what you want and what makes you laugh but I think it's probably good feedback to provide. You don't need that at all! It's enough to watch someone do what you're doing and to hear you describe it. Another very successful craftperson channel to maybe check out is Wristwatch Revival. Note the lack of handheld shots - I think if you can get away from handheld footage a bit more you'd really notice a big improvement (or heavily stabilize them, shoot much wider than you think you need to if this is what you end up doing).

Trabant posted:Thank you very much for the feedback (and the kind words) VelociBacon, esp. since you watched the whole thing! Hey sorry I'm quite late to reply to this. I work shift work, saw this before my first shift in the set, and totally forgot to come back to it. Also, just noticed your av and I want to say that was one of the first games that I ever really got into, assuming it's Mechwarrior 2. This is obviously dependent on your gear on the PC side but you can tether the D3100 directly to your computer if that's helpful - although it sounds like the 10 min maximum you're describing is more due to heat buildup. I shoot Nikons also but didn't know the 3xxx series had that limitation. The gimbal is going to make a huge difference! I don't know if I can speak easily to why the joke maybe doesn't land as well for native English speakers from North America, but my guess would be that comedic timing is much different culturally. To that end I think North American audiences (or maybe just me?) enjoy introspective Nordic narration, you see it in characters like Ahti from Control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-UUi6UzcTE Anyways I hope you're working on some ideas for the next project, interested to check it out.
