Re: Quicktime 10 not liking .mp4s from AE - 11 years ago
I have seen this before with Adobe Media Encoder. I cannot open H.264 files generated by the Blu-ray presets in QuickTime, however other applications see them just fine. When I use the Blu-ray presets in Compressor the files are able to open just fine in QuickTime. The workaround would be to export from AE as a QuickTime with the desired settings.by Jon Chappell - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
You could have done that anyway with the 30-day trial of CS6 or even the version of CC that has existed for the past year. But it may well lead to increased piracy from people who want a perpetual license that Adobe won't sell them. Piracy stems from a lack of consumer choice.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
Interesting how the comments are mainly complaints from Photoshop users, who IMO are impacted least by this because PSDs are backwards-compatible and supported in other applications. But then again, I suppose our industry does have a few more options than theirs if you don't want to use Adobe.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Cutting a doc and debating which NLE, and what Codec - 11 years ago
I use H.264 all the time in Premiere with no problems. But I think it depends on where you want to save time. It's great for quick turnaround projects but for longer projects I always transcode to a lower-complexity format because your continued render and export times will pay a bigger price over time than the amount you initially saved by not transcoding.by Jon Chappell - Café LA

Mercury gets better with every version. It was unusable on CS 5 and is significantly faster in CC for me than CS 6.by Jon Chappell - Café LA

The cloud was already an option for people who wanted it. Nothing has been gained by this decision, only lost.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
The prices on the website are a little misleading. It's $20/month for one app if you pay for an entire year at once. If you only want to pay a month or two at a time it's $30. Also, the $70/month listed for team pricing is per seat which is not mentioned at all on the pricing page.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. The rental model has existed for a year now but it was never a problem before they made it compulsory.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
I think we're lucky compared to some people. There is lots of competition in the editing market right now and Premiere has only recently become a viable player so it is not entrenched. It is a much bigger problem for After Effects and Photoshop users, which have larger shares of their respective markets and fewer alternatives, not to mention all the plugins and other add-ons that have been develoby Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
Quotestrypes Yes, I agree with the Adobe's pricing model on the cloud and have always believed it to be overall a good thing on many levels. It frees Adobe away from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so they no longer have to wait for a yearly release cycle to issue new features while spending a year fixing bugs. For the end user, it does away with the initial hefty license fees, making the software more afby Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
Here's my take: I think the problem is that people are getting too confused with terminology. The cloud is not the problem, the forced rental policy is.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Adobe on the FCPX attack says Ben Balser - 11 years ago
I don't think you quite understand how it works. Adobe Anywhere is something you setup on a local server so no massive uncompressed files need to be uploaded anywhere and you can just use your regular in-house storage. It then encodes H.264 on the fly and delivers that to your device at a bitrate suitable for your current internet connection speed. There are already applications that can streaby Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Adobe on the FCPX attack says Ben Balser - 11 years ago
Just to be clear, you cannot create a DCP natively but they have added the ability to export to the third-party application easyDCP ($3k+).by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Adobe on the FCPX attack says Ben Balser - 11 years ago
At NAB I spoke to several companies that were going with an FCPX / Premiere or Premiere / Avid split among their systems. The reason was individual editor preference. It's a lot easier nowadays than it used to be.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Adobe on the FCPX attack says Ben Balser - 11 years ago
For me the big question isn't the future of FCPX, it's the future of the Mac. Will there be a new Mac Pro? If so, will it be one we actually want to buy?by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X

Re: FCP 7 - need advice for faster exports with timecode burn in - 11 years ago
Option B will speed things up significantly. Another option may be to render your timeline, then export a reference movie (i.e. export with self-contained deselected). Instead of copying the data to the new file, it will simply link to your existing render files, significantly speeding up the export time. You can then bring it into another app and compress it to H.264 before sending to someonby Jon Chappell - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: anyone successfully using After Effects CS6 on newest macbook air? - 11 years ago
I was very excited when they added raytracing until I realized that switching it on disables a lot of other features. I've found AE to be a lot more useful in regular 2.5D mode.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Can't import ProRes with 26 audio tracks into FCP7 - 11 years ago
Are they discrete QuickTime audio tracks (i.e. 27 tracks) or is it a single multichannel track with 27 channels (i.e. 1 track)? You can tell this in QuickTime Player 7 or QT Edit.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Single green frame in RGB JPEG with dissolve? - 11 years ago
Are you using any third-party effects on either of the clips? Purple and green frames with third-party plugins is a known issue in 10.0.6+.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Edit in Apple Intermediate Code (AIC) or Apple Pro Res 422 HQ? - 11 years ago
AIC is a much older codec so ProRes is the preferred format nowadays. I believe regular ProRes (non HQ) will suffice for HDV.by Jon Chappell - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: Exporting batch lists with markers - 11 years ago
You could export an XML file which includes markers. It really depends on the app you're planning to import it into.by Jon Chappell - Café LA

The frame size is being encoded correctly but Compressor is adding additional metadata that is causing QuickTime Player to crop the image. See here for more details:by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
