Channel alpha and ProRes 4444
I have a number of files AE I want to visit Media Encoder with their alpha channels using the ProRes 4444 codecs. I can't understand how to make ME give me an alpha channel. If I go to AE, I get the alpha without problem. How can I ME give me an alpha channel? I use ME 2014 on a Mac.
Hi Remy,
Choose QuickTime. In the list of formats in the video tab, choose ProRes 4444. Scroll to the 'depth' and choose 32-bit. This will allow you to export with alpha channel.
Thank you
Kevin

Alpha Graphics ProRes 4444 Apple in the first
Hello
First of all, sorry for my English.
I have a big problem in first when I want to include graphs of After Effect.
I have lower third in AE with alpha channel... Everything works fine. I do not DL because I had some problems in the past, and I prefer working with the export.
Exports have been in ProRes 4444 with Alpha... I tried with animation codec as well.
When I put these graphics in first, the result is just mean!
I tried the same thing in FCPX (I don't like it, but just to try...) and the result is what I expect!
I don't want to work with the apple software because my workflow is based on the CC... But I need my client happy and for the moment, it was not possible!
The main video is XDCAM HD 1080i50-422. The computer is a Mac Pro running with a GTX card maverick. Just to say, I tried the same thing in a Macbook Pro last generation and the result is exactly the same...
You have an idea? I join a screenshot to show what the problem in real time.
Wait save you my edit on that!
Kind regards

Hi Mr. Yom,.
Try to uncheck the "Composite linear color" in the sequence settings.
I'm not an expert on the science behind this, but it has to do with how Premiere Pro manages the alpha channel, depending on whether it is "Premultiplied" (MAT) or "Straight" (Unmatted). I think that the banding that see you is caused by a layer alpha premultiplied. (You can try to make the alpha channel in a "straight line").
Otherwise, if a clip has a premultiplied alpha channel, you keep "Composite linear color" enabled in Premiere Pro and change the way it interprets the alpha channel of the clip. Right-click on the clip > edit > interpret footage. Select it "Conform Alpha premultiplication on:" and leave unchecked the box "Premultiplied Alpha".
Here are the results I got...
I hope this helps!

Channel alpha export Apple Motion problem
Hello, I expose the problem I detected MOTION v. 5.2.3 (Yosemite 10.10.5) if I create a publication with effect of scale and export with alpha channel
(Apple ProRes 4444 - color + alpha, prmultiply apha)
I have a problem, or that the exported video does not contain alpha channel. compositing as in the image:
But if the elements of the composition with stairs do not go on the canvas, the alpha channel is implemented, see the attached picture:
until this problem did not exist and for years I have been working with the MOVEMENT, how can I fix it? How can I solve this problem? Thanks for any response.
I do not see that. Are you able to zip and download your project somewhere for us to check it out?

CS5.5 | ProRes 4444 - interpret images sees NO Alpha channel
I thought that this problem could have been supported now.
Guess the bug in CS5.5 fixes are little, or not at all
(1) export a sequence to ProRes 4444, then set him straight alpha channel export.
(2) re - import into AE
(3) open interpret footage dialog...
You get REALLY disappointed when discovering that all alpha options were grayed out.
What is this MADNESS going to STOP ProRes!

ProRes 4444 clip causes accidents with windows 7
I'm on the latest version of download of AE and yesterday working with ProRes 4444 clip I found that dynamic links between the PP and AE was unstable as to be unworkable.
Today, I tried again and just used AE to edit the clip. After working for 10 minutes using Tracker and clone, I had an accident. Had a hunt around the forums, but most of the answer to this problem appear to be mac based.
Anyone have any ideas?

Conversion of image sequence Cineon LOG in Apple ProRes 4444 XQ in Media Encoder CS6
Hello
I have a sequence of images Cineon LOG I want to convert to Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, but I'm not sure of the procedure.
I use Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on a Macbook Pro OS 10.11.2 2012.
Could you please tell me how to on this subject?
Also, I find that I don't have the ProRes 4444 XQ Preset codec in Media Encoder... Can I download it somewhere?
Thank you
Tiya
The problem is resolved. Here's how:
I bought ' Glue Tools Cineon / DPX Toolkit for Mac OS X and used it with Apple Compressor 4 on my Macbook Pro (2012) running El Capitan.
I was able to convert Log Cineon sequences of images in ProRes 4444 XQ QuickTime movies.
Some things to note:
- After downloading the Toolkit, you must activate it from the system preferences panel and make sure that you select the correct Conversion settings in the Cineon / DPX icon (bottom of the system preferences panel).
- Glue Tools also have a trial / demo for you to try Mode.
- Currently, glue tools Cineon/DPX Toolkit (4.1.2936) supports only compressor 4, but can add features for the Media Encoder and other tools in the future.
- Use "Import a file" compressor 4 and select the first file of the Cineon or DPX image sequence when you try to get the glue tools to read them. Do not use 'Import Image Sequence'.
- Once you have written the ProRes 4444 XQ, you may still need to correct color, but Glue Tools has excellent support.

Where the ProRes 4444 XQ Codec?
Hello
I'm on a Mac and I have the compressor installed, that lists all the Apple ProRes codecs. However in Media Encoder, all are listed with the exception of the XQ-4444. Is not taken in charge or something?

TEA has no ProRes 4444 XQ yet. You can submit a request to feature here though: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form

Hello
I'm having trouble with a channel alpha to an exporter. Symptoms - no alpha channel is handed over to my exporter by Premiere Pro when you use the source with an alpha channel. I created a test sample video which has rows of (pixel red, green blue pixels, pixel, pixel alpha). So while examining the bits in memory, I always see 0xff for alpha component (i.e., red pixel looks like 0xff 0x00 0 x 00 0xffgreen pixel looks like 0 x 00-0xff 0 x 00 0xff, blue pixel resembles 0x00 0 x 00 0xff, 0xff, and alpha pixel resembles 0x00 0x00 0 x 00 0xff), which resembles for me no alpha channel in the frame. I request images in the BGRA_4444_8u pixel format. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this color format give me component if alpha source has alpha? I thought, ' ok, can be parameters of sequence or project have setting that I am not allowing to preserve the alpha ", but as I discovered, Premiere Pro retains alpha, unless explicitly told to do not keep user. Description of the exporter SDK sample project mentioned in favor of uncompressed 8-bit RGB with or without alpha. Does this mean that Premiere Pro should give frames with alpha channel of source is it? I looked at how sample exporter demand for executives of Premiere Pro and info specific to the color format is format of custom colors "sdk", unless I forgot something.
Thank you
Petro
Hey Petro,
I looked in the SDK examples, and there are a few adjustments, I had to do to get the Alpha to return successfully, when exporting using the exporter SDK and re-imported using the SDK file importer.
First of all, I had to make that info in the header of the file has been correctly defined. In WriteSDK_FileHeader(), I put the number of bits depending on the codec setting retrieved to aid:
mySettings-> exportParamSuite-> GetParamValue (exID, 0, ADBEVideoCodec, & codecSubType);
For "Format file SDK", 32 means he is alpha, and 24 only, no alpha. For both "video codecs" supported, I put it like this:
Switch (codecSubType.Value.intValue)
{
case SDK_8_BIT_RGB:
mySettings-> SDKFileRec.depth = 32;
break;
case SDK_10_BIT_YUV:
mySettings-> SDKFileRec.depth = 24;
break;
}
The other change I had to do was RenderAndWriteVideoFrame(). One of the parameters for RenderVideoFrame(), SequenceRender_ParamsRec, includes a member called inCompositeOnBlack. Yet once, I set this according to the codec:
Switch (codecSubType.Value.intValue)
{
case SDK_8_BIT_RGB:
renderParms.inCompositeOnBlack = kPrFalse;
break;
case SDK_10_BIT_YUV:
renderParms.inCompositeOnBlack = kPrTrue;
break;
}
This inCompositeOnBlack may be the problem that you run in. You must set this to false if you want to than the alpha kept.
Kind regards

WLAN channels 12 and 13 are not available in Europe
Hello
If I run a German WindowsXP SP2 and VistaRC2 it is impossible to connect to access points using channels 12 and 13 which should be available in Europe.
It is especially a problem when connecting to public access points where I can not change the configuration.
All advice how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much
Dirk RoemerHello
Only 11 channels are used in the United States.
So eventually the new Vista RC2 is not available to receive the 12 and 13 WiFi channel.
He should know that the RC2 version is not the official final version of Vista and it contains more than 1500 bugs at this time. I think that this version contains the WLan standard values for the American market.In addition, Intel 9.x WLAN drivers implement a new specification that allows configurations specific to each country through access points (AP).
If one of the APs in the range (not necessarily the AP, the wireless network adapter is connected to!) broadcast such a configuration countries, channels that are not allowed in this country, the Intel WLAN card will cease to use channels.
In their default settings, APs supporting this specification will accept only channels 10 and 11. -
How to convert a sequence of images Cineon (.cin) HQ ProRes 4444

Read the channel 1 and channel 2
Hello
I went through the basic course Lab View 1 and I'm starting to understand some of them. I struggle to write the next request in Lab View 8.5 and version 2011.
I need to write a VI for the Tektronix TDS 210 2 channel oscilloscope to be able read channel 1 and channel 2 (x and y). Also, I have to run this scope as scope of digital storage (remember the waveform in the memory and be able to remember specific time range) I downloaded the driver for the scope and I am able to run the only form of wave or multiple wave VI, but I do not know how to change these VI in order to function as I mentioned above.
I need to know how I can lock this VI as the instrument always follows the same GPIB address.
Could someone help me with this project please?
Thank you
Joe
Make a constant on the block diagram. It is an option to click right when you are on the block diagram. I also recommend the creation of an alias for it to the MAX (i.e. "extended"). In this way, if the address changes, you don't have to change the program.

Option of channels L and R in hearing balance?
Hey guys,.
I have a documentary with narration and need to balance the channels L and r are there - it an easy way to proceed with the hearing or do I have to do it manually?
Always intrigued. What is the difference between the audio L and R? You use a stereo or mono microphone or those built in the Zoom? If she as just a single narrative, then you might be better to simply take the top-level channel and that transform a mono file, instead of solving the lower track to match the stronger.

With first CC, I am trying to display the RGB parade. But when I go to 'view' in the settings of the monitor, I only see a "composite video", "alpha" and the options of several cameras. When I look at the tutorials, "RGB Parade" and other display options are there in the video tutorial. But they just do not appear in my software.
Which version of CC do you use? Numbers, please! And your BONES... and I think you're looking in all the wrong places.
The CC2015 ranges are found on a "Lumetri Scopes" tab in the top left panel so the color workspace and the central panel Lumetri Scopes tab in the workspace of the effects.
Looks like you're clicking in the program monitor, but this is not where the scopes...
