My last fest...

[armisiano]

I am sorry to say but I'm starting to think that this may have to be my last dvxfest.

My copy of Adobe Premiere Pro simply cannot export files that will work for the fests. Both this time around and last fest, I experienced this problem.

I cannot export as an mov and keep it under 50mbs without the compression going into supreme overdrive for some reason, and I cannot export as an MP4 without the audio being shifted out of sync.

The worst part is noone can help me figure this out. Someone tried last time around, but it didn't end up working at all.

I am so devastated by this happening.

I feel like months of work, intense work where I did not let a SINGLE DETAIL out of my complete control, has been wasted, because in the end I don't have control, and something has to happen to destroy my work, somerthing I can't do anything about.

next fest you might not have to worry about exporting these files so much as you will uploading any number of versions for live streaming :)

I don't think it's Premiere Pro. I think you are having another issue. I remember helping you last Fest. Many of us use Premiere. No issues.

I've been using it since 1.5

Sounds like we may be in HD streaming heaven next Fest. :)
Don't worry, the DVX will still look great. You light it very well.

I, like many others would love to see more of your films.

Damn skippy. You do excellent work and I really do look forward to seeing what you come up with, cuz they just keep getting better and better. I LOVE your sense of humor and your commitment to high production value. You can;t quit on us now.. especially since theres due to be a change in the upload and compression policy...

[Postmaster]

Yeah, all Rodney said.

Would be a pity - I had so much fun with your entry.

I use Premiere export without any problems.
If I can do it, you can do it. (YES YOU CAN - remember? :) )

I can give you the exact settings for that.
If it still doesn´t work, let me know and we gonna eleminate the problem.

[Matty_g]

you could always take it somewhere else for the export.
I don't have an intel mac and edited six inch 45 on mark johnson, tim hyten, and zak forsman's computer.

Jordan and I borrowed friend's computers to work on collections vol. 4.

[armisiano]

Between the upload system changing, some of your promises to help me through this tech issue in the future, and the fact that I simply can't stop, I'm gonna stick through it.

You have to understand how damned frustrating it was those first couple days after viewing opened though. Thanks for the support.

[Tim Joy]

You might invest a few bucks in quicktime pro, then export in your native format and use quicktime to make the .mov

Don't give up though.

[MrKilloran]

You make really superb films, I think you not entering would be a disservice to everyone else involved.

[vnguyen972]

Don't go Joaquin Phoenix on us!! we NEED you to make more good films!!!

[ZazaCast]

...wait... lets all think about this for a minute...he makes great films...maybe we don't want him in the competitions!

JUST kiddin'... you can't leave us, we'll figure this out...there are a lot of great minds here!
Hang in there.

[Postmaster]

I'm gonna stick through it.



Exactly what I wanted to hear. :beer:

You thought we let you get away with this?
Sneaking out like a thief in the night?

NOOO WAY!

I want to see more of this. :)

[orchidsofwrath]

Damn right your gonna stick it through!

That would be really weak if you stopped making films for dvxfest because you have some corky little issue with your editing software. Call adobe. Change editing software. Reinstall windows. It takes me 22 minutes to reformat my partition, reinstall windows, and reinstall all my programs which all my saved stuff is saved to an external hard drive. Don't let the computer own you. Afterall... its some stupid little issue that obviously other people manage to not have. If you wanna stop making films because your camera spontaneously combusted, your girlfriend left you, and your house burned down fine. But because you can't figure out how to make good mp4 renders from premiere? Gimme a break! We all have computer/software issues we have to get over. ALL OF US. Speaking on behalf of ANY TRADE IN THE WORLD THAT REQUIRES A COMPUTER.

Sheesh... your like some teenage girls I know, who consider buying a new laptop because of some miniscule issue like flash player isn't working and they can't play youtube videos or something.

[Rodney V. Smith]

You have to understand how damned frustrating it was those first couple days after viewing opened though. Thanks for the support.

You want frustrating? Check out the beating I'm taking on my ADR mix on my threads. On BOTH movies. now THAT is a real sound issue.

Glad you;re sticking around. We REALLY would miss you man. natch.

[Andy Olson]

What MP4 encoder did you use with Premiere? I've run into the same issue with the Mainconcept MP4 in Sony Vegas. The audio in the mp4 played through Quicktime is about 4 frames off. However, when you play back the file on any other player that can do h.264 the audio will be in sync. It seems to just be a Quicktime problem reading the Mainconcept MP4.

Uploading to Vimeo fixes the problem, or playing back in Sony Vegas. I've overcome it by just sliding all the audio over 4 frames. Weird thing is that is it will play in sync in Quicktime then and stay in sync in other players.

Hope this helps,
Andy

This sounds like good news, indeed!

[Jason Ramsey]

we're gonna try to be ready to handle some alternative delivery/viewing methods, but no promises. :)

Vimeo Team up?

i hated michael jordan when he retired in the hoops game 2x and coming back again and again on the two occasions. i hate this kind of false farewell drama. if you want to leave then leave and never comeback. and why the hell announced it? if i see an entry of yours in the next dvxfests, i will surely give it a rating of 1 without even watching it. goodbye.

EDIT:
he he, i didn't realize that stupendous - the movie is your film. i liked it and i thought you did a good job. you got talent man and this little fest of our community needs someone like you for it to continue to grow. please ignore my first statement above :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I cannot export as an mov and keep it under 50mbs without the compression going into supreme overdrive for some reason, and I cannot export as an MP4 without the audio being shifted out of sync.

I have this same sound sync issue with PP and suffered it in TwilightFest. I posted about it trying to come up with a solution and searched the net extensively, but it seems to affect only a lucky few of us. I believe the problem is related to some glitch the Adobe Media Encoder. It's very frustrating, but I managed to get a workaround going.

See the thread at this link (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b6b7aa) and let me know if the workaround works for you.

Any luck solving this issue?

[armisiano]

Any luck solving this issue?

I will address the issue next time around. I think STUPENDOUS got enough notice during this fest, come next I'll be able to give a "please help me" shout out and get a decent amount of feedback.

Would love to see more of your work but I understand, I have a wife!:kiss:

when ever you need help with premiere or all that compression stuff, hit me up, I'm pretty good with it.

good luck,
