Video Streaming and Compression: June 2008 Archives
For those that are interested in finding a media format that you can store files in with high quality, one option is to Exporting QuickTime Movies to the DVCPro50 Codec. This is a great option if file storage is not an option. You might be asking what are the benefits for doing this. Here are a few:
You can double the quality of your Final Cut Pro DV/DVCPro projects
Videos can be re-encodes in the future with new CODECS
You can move videos to your encoding workstation for compression

Google has release 'Vidnic' which allows Mac OS X user's to easily upload movies directly to YouTube. Vidnic works with OS X, and allows users to record video using the 'iSight' camera and upload them directly to the internet. You can also add metadata, such as a title, tag, and a description.
Viewership for internet related video is up 64%. This is partly because of the popularity of sites like YouTube that make video readily and easily available.
Have you ever noticed when you render motion effects in Final Cut Pro that the quality isn't always up to par? You may also notice a 'stutter effect' when zooming in and out of clip elements.
It is important that you take notice of your sequence settings. The default sequence settings for DV-NSTC are set to Render 8-bit YUV. I recommend rendering your sequence with High Precision YUV. For your motion effects I recommend change your sequence settings to 'best' for motion filtering quality.
To do this: right click on your sequence, and choose 'settings' from the contextual menu. This will bring forward the Sequence settings dialog box. Click on the 'video processing' tab. Choose the High Precision YUV rendering setting and 'best' for motion filtering quality.
*The only drawback with these settings, is the longer rendering time. Therefore, you may want to wait until your sequence is completely finished and then re-render everything with High Precision YUV, and 'best' for the motion filtering quality.
