Mac Editors, Sound Off! What would you like to see?

biggest issue I have is with producing the final file for my finished video for the submitting to contests. I'm never quite sure if the file I've produced will play correctly on the contest coordinator's computer.

This is the same for me. I generally can get the footage to edit with easily enough, it's how to export that always seems to give me problems.

Hybrid, good to see you. I mentioned you the other day. You need to come back and edit more.

Got a solution to that now as well. Many windows users use TMPEnc. As long as FCP can render out lossless x264/MP4 or uncompressed in MOV changed over to AVI via MPEGStreamClip, you can use Avisynth via Crossover/Wine to create a HUFFYUV (or anything, honestly, that TMPGEnc can read), stick that in TMPGEnc (also in Crossover/Wine) and that will render out a MPEG-2 that will run correctly on a coordinator's computer.

I just had to develop that process for Gaycen like three days ago.

EDIT: I just noticed on Hyperion Edge that you have a new video finished. DO WANT, etc. We old peeps need to stick together. (For those playing the Kio is old game at home, Hybrid is member #603, Kio is #615).

1) Almost everyone in this thread edits on Mac. And many people posting threads in the Mac Forum obviously edit on a Mac. That's where I get my number.

2) Windows Vegas to Mac Premiere Pro?

3/4) You read my directions here.

I might make a Tutorial for FCS when I start my new video ... but don't quote me on that. XD

Hey there Kionon.

It seems to take the AX deadline to get me focused enough to finish up one of my videos. But yeah, I've got a new one completed and I'm going to try to get another one ready before AWA.

I worked with a friend of mine on putting together an MPEG2 and H264 format versions of the video. He works with this stuff for a living and was able to point out what I was doing wrong. Turns out the reason my H264 versions were looking so bad was because I was taking the default data rate. Once I set that much higher, the artifacts went away.

...and I just pmed you about this. Sorry. >.<!

Still, let's talk about this, it's more than just your encoding. We need to discuss formatting, especially flagging.
