slow scrubbing along timeline with .mov footage. CS5.5

Apr 23, 2012 9:52 PM

Hi. I've received some footage from another company. They're .mov files and it's really frustrating to work with. It doesn't have a smooth playback or even when I scrub along the timeline, it's very jumpy.

 

Here is the meta data for the clip...

    Turn off Maximum Bit Depth and try to rename .MOV to .MTS. Maybe that will work and bypass the QuiRcktime Server with its 32 bits nature. It looks like standard AVCHD material, so maybe renaming the extensions will help. Maximum Bit Depth only complicates matters.

    hi. It's a lot quicker, however it's still not as easy to scrub through. Would you reccomend encoding the footage into something else? I've read the forums and heard people talking about twixtor. Is that a good software for me to get? I'm thinking because I'd like to convert the footage so that it's smoother to scrub through when editing.

    Twixtor is similar to Timewarp in AE and is used for slomos. For transcoding to a format that is easier to edit and puts less strain on the system, look at Cineform.

    Hi Harm. Is that the Cineform made by Cineformstudio? A division of GoPRo Cameras?

    Yeah. I think you want to have a look at Neoscene.

    Hi Harm. I got a trial version of Neoscene. I tried convertingthe clips and this is what happened.

    I'm not sure if I'm using the software correctly or if I need drivers or something to work.

    Hey Harm. Problem solved. Cineform gave me another software to use. They said that they will phase out the Neoscene. The one to use for converswion of all or most files will be...  Cineform Studio. There is a free version which does some files, but then you have a Premium version which does pretty much all of them. $299

    Thanks for reporting that. I've never used Cineform myself, so this is nice to know.
