FCP Import JVC Everio GZ-HD10 Video In this tutorial we will go over on how to Import JVC Everio GZ-HD10 AVCHD video clips in Final Cut Pro. We will need to first connect our usb cord from the camera to our computer via the usb port. Once connected start up Final Cut Pro go to file & select Log & Transfer then select the clips you want to transfer over. Keep in mind that this process will transcode your clips over to Pro Res but you can select different types of Pro Res or AIC to transcode to. After that is completed you can simply drag the first clip into your timeline & let FCP automatically set your settings. This way you can edit away. If you prefer to edit AVCHD in it’s native format then at the moment FCP will no do, but you can do so in Premiere Pro CS4 version both on Mac & PC.

Turbo.264 HD vs Turbo.264

Turbo.264 HD vs Turbo.264 Here we will review both the Turbo.264 & Turbo.264 HD as to speed & quality of encodes. We will be using a 6 min vob file & converting it to Apple TV format. Let’s see which is faster.

As with the new updates to the turbo.264 HD it now supports encoding to 1080p & 720p which is great for folks that want those hi res videos. Currently the new version also takes advantage or your systems cpu along with it’s own hardware encoder to speed up the process of encoding your files. Some folks may not like that idea to much but in order to take advantage of those 1080 & 720p encodes it’s a must. Which is why the previous version of the Elgato turbo.264 had so many limitations when it came to encoding.

MAC to Linux – Encode Video To OGG OGV

MAC to Linux – Encode Video To OGG OGV In this tutorial I will show you a way to encode video for Linux users that may not want to install players or codecs that support other video formats except for maybe .ogg which is will play by default. Videos are encoded to .OGV format or otherwise known as .OGG to some folks.

Program used is called ffmpeg2theora
Which is a command line program it will also allow you to adjust the video & audio aspects as well as crop your video as well.

Please note that I find the export times to be very long when using large video files.

This way it will place the black border on the top & bottom of my video without pulling it’s original dimension.

In this short tutorial I will show you how to use WordPress & Quicktime Export To Web, on your WordPress Blog. Now a few things to note is that sometimes the “.JPG” image that is created in QT Export to Web may not show up on your blog. A simple fix is to open up any image editor & resave it as a .jpg image. Now the most important part is that the reference movie file that is also created chances are it will not play. Again simple fix is to point it to the Original movie file for example “My_Movie.mp4 or My_Movie.m4v” which ever may be the case. This way it will show your image & movie file and will play correctly in your WordPress Blog via Windows Firefox and IE7 as it will be fine in MAC OS X Safari regardless of how you do it. As always make sure that your movie is optimized for the web with fast start. Doing it this way will also keep the movie from loading since the image is the first thing to load rather then the movie, until you hit play. Then it will play & load at that time.

Please note that I have only test this in the browsers that I mentioned above. I have not yet tested this in Linux at this time.

So feel free to comment or add to this great fix that I figured out for WordPress.

Have fun & enjoy.

Yet I wanted to give Screenium a fair shot to see what I thought of it. So watch my video for more info.

Have fun & enjoy.

In this tutorial I will show you another way of converting your full screen captures to still keep the high quality of the capture yet keeping the file size as small as possible. Using QuickTime Pro & iShowU versus using Screenflow that does pretty much the same thing when it comes to exporting it.
