Kdenlive topic http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3429/kdenlive-topic Thu, 31 May 2012 17:02:57 +0000 karl 3429@/talks/discussions Good news from the developers of the free video editing software "kdenlive":

  • Their fund raising campaign for one developer to devote two full man months on some long desired re-factoring succeeded - and quickly!

  • kdenlive 0.9.2 was just released, addressing some regressions from the 10 days old 0.9 release, which introduced numerous interesting features (see http://kdenlive.org/discover/0.9 for a list).

Two new features I found especially notable:

  • The availability of a second video stabilizing filter (which was ported from "transcode"), which offers numerous parametrization options (that the first stabilizer, "vstab" is somewhat lacking).

  • Automatic synchronization of video tracks taken from different cameras at the same time (by using the audio track similarities).

Tips for real time video editing - fast workflow http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/23571/tips-for-real-time-video-editing-fast-workflow Sun, 23 Feb 2020 19:45:26 +0000 apefos 23571@/talks/discussions If you shot video and you need to save time to do other things in life or if you have lots of work to do or if you have a short deadline these tips will help you:

  1. Take note on set about which take you liked most if you do some takes for each scene, so you dont need to review all takes to choose, or you just need to watch them one time to confirm
  2. Record audio in camera to avoid the need to sync audio in post, there are good mics which deliver high signal and you can turn down the audio level in camera to get a more clean audio without preamp noise. Boya mics are cheap and works good for low budget people. If you need gradding in the audio with equalize and noise reduction in post you can create and save a preset to apply in all audios.
  3. Use standard profile in camera because it does not need image gradding and deliver great quality
  4. Adjust shadow/highlight levels in camera so you can get a good gradding baked in camera
  5. Use dymanic range optimizations in camera, each manufacturer has its own nomenclature, see this article: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/1294642686/stark-contrast-how-your-camera-copes-with-dynamic-range-capture
  6. Set the correct exposure in camera using manual control to avoid the need of corrections in post. Most of times you will decide for a perfect people skin exposure, sometimes you will decide for a more dark exposure to simulate a dark place, sometimes a more bright image like a dream, use your creativity. Try to perceive the light relationship between shots so you dont need to calibrate the shots with each other.
  7. Set the correct sharpness setting in camera you like most to avoid sharpening in post production
  8. Set the best looking noise reduction amount in camera to avoid using neatvideo and other noise reduction software
  9. Try to use low iso to avoid noise, or to add light if needed to avoid noise in high iso or use a better low light camera like fuji xt30/xt3 with interframe noise reduction or GH5s with dual iso
  10. Only use filters and effects which are real time in editing software timeline, this will make editing playback possible and render faster. There are some filters/effects options which can do almost same thing and some are real time and others are not. Compare them and choose real time.
  11. Avoid using log (slog, vlog flog and so on) because this needs LUT in post production and a different complex gradding in each take, very time consuming in post. If you do a good dynamic range preservation in camera you can avoid log. Fuji cameras have the DR400 setting wich deliver great dynamic range baked in camera. Sony and Panasonic cameras can shot in 110 IRE and you can adjust the image to 100 IRE in post production with a real time filter to recover the highlights, just build and save a filter preset for this. These workflows can deliver same results as LOG without the need of gradding in post. Also you have shadow highlight setttings in camera.
  12. If you shot 4k video, choose 420 8bit 100mbps because it can playback without sttuter frames in editing timeline without the need to transcode to intermediate codec in a quad core computer. 422 video or 10bit video or 200mbps/400mbps video are very processor intensive impossible to playback without transcoding. 420 8bit 100mbps video with a good gradding in camera can deliver pretty good results without macroblocking and color/lumabanding if you dont need to do heavy gradding in post production.
  13. If you need to upscale from 720p to 1080p or from 1080p to 4k, first do your cuts editing and just upscale the footage you really need. upscaling using third part plugins is time consuming.
  14. For cut, wipe, dissolve, you do not need intermediate codec. Maybe you just need intermediate codec if you will do picture in picture or chroma key because you will need to playback two or more video files at same time and then you need a fast codec like cineform 10bit 422 because it uses low processor power.
  15. Develop a gradding for your camera that can be used in all scenes and save a preset with all filters and effects togheter. If you do correct exposure, and dynamic range compensation in camera then you can use the same gradding preset in post production for all shots
  16. Only use SSD for Operating System and for video files. HDD is slow, and more slow when you need to cut between various video files or playback two video files at same time. Avoid HDD
  17. Use a fast memory card and a fast usb 3.0 card reader, so you can transfer video files very fast to the computer
  18. Use simple text editor in the editing software for text on screen, no matter if it is static or moving horizontal or vertical. Text generating in editing software is good enough with fonts, colors, textures, shadows, size, opacity...
  19. Use the same computer to do all the job, avoid transfer files from one computer to another
  20. Only transfer video files at the end of work for backup in external storage, use fast usb 3.0 storage, and avoid HDD because it can fail
  21. Use a 4k monitor 3840 x 2160 not just because you want to see your 4k footage on it, but because the editing software will have more space for the windows, you can see the timeline, effects, everything. in 4k editing you can set the preview/program video window to 50% size and 50% resolution for better performance in playback and for allow space for the other software windows. you will see 1920 x 1080 pixels wich are good enough for editing. If you edit 1080p then you can set the preview/program video window to 100% size and full resolution.
  22. Use a real time software and a real time gpu, also perceive the computer processor and ram memory you need. With these tips a i5-2400 quad core processor runing at 3.1ghz with 8gb ram and nvidia gt730 gpu with 384 cuda cores and 1gb ram is good enough for 4k (if you dont need chroma key and picture in picture)
  23. Avoid using HDR or HLG in camera. If you do a good dynamic range settings in camera and post production your 420 8bit footage will look the almost the same, and most people will not use HDR HLG monitor
  24. use good stabilization when filming, good handheld or gimbal or steadycam or monopod or tripod or slider. Avoid image stabilization in post production because it takes long time
  25. when setting exposure trust your eyes more than waveform and histogram
  26. use 24p 25p 30p for normal video and 50p 60p only for slowmotion. 50p and 60p is processor intensive for playback and editing
  27. your lens will look better if you close half or one fstop and use it at f8 maximum. example: if it is f1.4 to f16 use it at f2 to f8. the footage will be more sharp and avoid sharp in post production
  28. do correct framing, avoid reframing in post
  29. the electronic viewfinder is great for setting exposure because there is no ambiente light on it, or you can use a black cloth over your head and lcd
  30. record some ambient sound to create ambience among shots and avoid difficult mixing
  31. record a little bit before and after the action to have room for wipe dissolve and cuts, avoid let the camera recording unnecessarily, only record what you need
  32. Do a one time editing everything done in one timeline without render and start again. Only one render. Start with cuts select and organize files and after this do the grafing and titles and then render
  33. Type your tips and advices and reply if you have another suggestions...

Corel VideoStudio X7 to X10, 2019 http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/9804/corel-videostudio-x7-to-x10-2019 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 02:58:49 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 9804@/talks/discussions

PR

Today Corel announced the availability of VideoStudio® Pro X7 and VideoStudio® Ultimate X7. Thanks to performance gains achieved through the addition of 64-bit architecture, the updated creative library and the new touch-friendly instant movie creator, FastFlick™, X7 upholds VideoStudio’s promise to provide the fastest and easiest way to create a broad range of professional quality videos, regardless of editing proficiency.

“VideoStudio has built a reputation for innovation by bringing users of all skill levels cutting-edge tools like 4K support, motion tracking, HTML5 authoring and a wide variety of creative editing tools in one affordable package,” said Greg Wood, Senior Product Manager, Digital Media. “But first and foremost, we strive to provide a program that is fast and easy and that addresses the growing enthusiasm for video in every walk of life, from personal, to sports, to school, to business, and the best way to ensure this is to go straight to the source” added Wood. “VideoStudio X7 was developed based on our extensive customer research. The result – a uniquely powerful, intuitive, fun and relevant editor.”

The enhancements and additions seen in VideoStudio X7 originate from an in-depth study. Corel researchers drew from a wide base of VideoStudio users, learning that performance, speed and even more easy-editing tools were the enhancements users most wanted to see in X7. As a result, VideoStudio introduces the following new features:

New 64-Bit Architecture Brings Dramatic Performance Gains

The new powerful 64-bit architecture removes memory limitations, resulting in dramatic performance gains in a wide variety of scenarios. For example, benchmark testing indicates, rendering HD multitrack projects can be up to 200% faster and rendering 4K projects can be up to 800% faster.

New FastFlick Makes Creating and Sharing Videos a Snap

Creating stylish movies and slideshows is as easy as 1-2-3 with the new FastFlick instant movie maker. Users can launch the touch-friendly app independently of VideoStudio to quickly create their project of choice by simply selecting a template, adding their media, and sharing. Users can upload their videos directly to Facebook, YouTube, Flickr or Vimeo, or they can save them for further editing in VideoStudio.

Updated Content Library Helps Users Explore New Creative Possibilities

VideoStudio X7 includes fresh new templates, frames, and objects as well as two new types of media, backgrounds and color patterns, to give videos a fresh and polished look.

And for special effects enthusiasts, VideoStudio Ultimate X7 includes a powerful, updated-to-64-bit collection of advanced special effects with plug-ins from proDAD, Boris Graffiti and NewBlue, providing over $500 in additional value. With 64-bit power, effects run faster than ever before.

New and Enhanced Tools Streamline the Editing and Sharing Process

User experience was a top priority for VideoStudio X7 development, resulting in more efficient ways to make and share video projects. Key usability enhancements include:

  • Enhanced! Smarter and faster 4K: The Smart Render option now works with UltraHD files resulting in rendering speeds are up to 200% faster than with X6. Users with the latest Intel chips can expect to see performance gains of 170-500% when working with 4K.
  • Enhanced! One-step online sharing: VideoStudio X7 lets users share their videos online in one simple step, no need to leave the program. Users simply select a social media property, choose the settings and post.
  • New! Favorite filters list: Like transitions, filters can now be added to a My Favorites list, saving users’ time when applying specific corrective filters or special effect filters.
  • Enhanced! Batch conversion custom profiles: Custom profiles in Batch Convert allows users to render multiple projects or files at the same time, exactly the way they want.
  • New! Intuitive profile management and customization: Custom profiles are the ideal tool to streamline workflows while still achieving great results. VideoStudio X7 makes it easy for users to create and save custom profiles to match the video properties for each of their cameras. This ensures the best results possible when rendering.
  • Enhanced! Transitions for overlay tracks: By popular request, VideoStudio X7 includes a new transitions category that makes it easier for users to find transitions that work best with their overlay tracks.

The hardware available to video editing is mostly a couple of low profile sandy bridge i7 and common RAM witch would be added 1050ti. Target source is GH5 (not defined).

Searching for some editors with FX suite that reported to run OK on these specs, decided to contact Magix about their Vegas Pro and Video Pro software.

The reply came:

  • Video Pro is a semi-professional software to advanced videographers
  • Vegas Pro is a professional software to production companies

So, ok it does give the idea of how the company place the two, but would the people here on the forum know about the effective difference of the software? What are the main things that set them apart in terms of function and integration?

Please be very careful with such benchmarks as they are made by top custom systems sellers, so they adjust them accordingly to put as much memory usage and stress as possible. In your reality it can be that it is all simple money waste.

I am a complete novice, so please bear over with me if my video vocabulary is a bit limited.
I consider myself a still photographer and thats why I purchased the GF1 in the first place. For some years now, I have enjoyed using a video capable P&S camera for small (poor quality) video sequences and put them together in Windows Movie Maker but it doesn't really work with the GF1 video files. I enjoy the very high quality I achieve with the hack and would like to preserve it when editing the video

So what is an inexpensive, easy to use application which can run on a low end low spec laptop (1.5 years old 3mb RAM 2.1GHz MS Vista with some insignificant spec'ed on board graphics chip)?
These are my requirements:

* Price below USD 100
* Must be able to run on a low spec labtop (I don't intend to upgrade for this purpose and I am willing to be patient when working)
* I use LPowel's reliable patch and I am shooting MJPEG only
* User friendly: I dont want to learn more than absolutely neccessary
* I usually shoot small sequences of around 20-60 seconds and need to trim them and combine the clips into small videos of max 5 min.
* I need fade transitions between clips
* I need some simple sound control as I don't pay much attention to sound when I record video (for example I need to be able to use some ambient sound from one clip to replace the sound of another).
* Some text functionality (placing some explanatory text during the video).

With possible exception of intelligent use of limitied computing resources I would expect my requirements is covered by most products, so what would be your recommendation for a user friendly application that doesn't require to much PC power?

Thanks in advance

Davinci Resolve - add one frame at end of each clip? http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/20213/davinci-resolve-add-one-frame-at-end-of-each-clip Thu, 09 Aug 2018 04:00:24 +0000 oscillian 20213@/talks/discussions Bit of a noob thing here: I imported 50p footage to a 24p timeline and finished the project. Resolve can't change the timeline after the first clip is conformed, so... I selected all the footage, deleted everything, changed the timeline to 25p and CTRL+Z:ed to bring back the footage.

All good, but... all clips are one frame short, so the resulting movie is too short. How can I add one frame more at the end of each clip?

Any ideas are truly welcome :-)

Encoders in NLEs and GPU support http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/16941/encoders-in-nles-and-gpu-support Mon, 15 May 2017 22:12:34 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 16941@/talks/discussions If you look at NLE export and encoders you will see one interesting thing. They live in the past.

Most of them offer average and below average encoders that works slow and at best use some Intel QuickSync abilities.

In real life you have two options:

  • Compact, best possible quality for client distribution - need usage of CPU based x264 and x265 encoders.
  • Youtube, Facebook and such uploads - here you need only fixed block encoding, best is fastest even if it will be larger (as another GPU will reencode it anyway)

Most fun thing is that only few NLEs has any support of very powerful decoding/encoding blocks of AMD/Nvidia GPUs.


Hardware support by NLEs, export H.264 encoding only

As of September 2017

  • Premiere Pro CC 2017 - NVENC (via plugin), QuickSync
  • MAGIX Video Pro X8 and X9 - QuickSync
  • MAGIX Magix Movie Edit Pro 2017 - QuickSync
  • MAGIX Vegas Pro 15 - NVENC, QuickSync, VCE in plans
  • Edius 8.5 and 9 - QuickSync
  • Davinci Desolve 14 - QuickSync only in Studio version, free version specially crippled
  • Sony Catalyst Edit 2017 - NVENC, QuickSync.
  • Corel VideoStudio PRO X10 - NVENC, VCE, QuickSync
  • Movavi Video Editor - NVENC, QuickSync
  • CyberLink PowerDirector 15 and 16 - NVENC, VCE, QuickSync
  • Nero Video 2018 - NCENC, NVDEC, QuickSync
  • TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works - NVENC, CUDA, VCE, QuickSync.

Lightworks topic http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4804/lightworks-topic Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:49:02 +0000 goanna 4804@/talks/discussions

Our solution was to avoid rewriting the Windows-specific code at all (it was, after all, tried, tested and optimized). Instead, we decided to move it to a new operating-system dependent layer which we engineered to have an OS independent interface.

Once this was complete, we were then able to begin work on a Linux implementation of that same layer. In essence, the Lightworks code is now split in two - the OS-independent code (eg. editing, play-engine, etc) which uses the OS-dependent code (eg. file access, threading, etc).

The OS independent code accounts for about 97% of the total codebase. The bulk of the work in porting to Linux was actually in re-engineering the existing code, not in writing the Linux-specific layer.

Linux of course doesn't have [Windows'] Direct3D, so we had to reimplement all the Linux GPU specific code using OpenGL.

This development has been long-awaited. Once again, risk-averse developers are showing us how OSes, once the mainstay of IT revenue, are losing relevance.

What's next - Lightworks for Android? -only a few lines of code away.

PP CC 2018 - How can I mask a graphic for reveal as you can a title? http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/18909/pp-cc-2018-how-can-i-mask-a-graphic-for-reveal-as-you-can-a-title Wed, 31 Jan 2018 23:09:12 +0000 webarchitect 18909@/talks/discussions Title reveal is easy enough. The masking tool is readily available in the Effects panel under the "Text" item you're working on. Use motion and the title is revealed as it enters into the mask. I want to do exactly the same thing with a png graphic logo, but I cannot figure out how to mask. Google keeps giving me opacity masking options that are not relevant. You're help will be most appreciated!
