What are the benefits (if any) of transcoding to an intermediate editing for post production format?

I have searched for an answer final to this day and impossible to get something useful.

My recordings to the AVCHD format that is 24mbps H.264 video and audio camera (I record audio separately so audio is not a cause for concern). I use the following Adobe CC on Windows. I do a lot of green screen work.

I read on many intermediate codecs designed for video editing. Include DNxHD of Avid, Apple ProRes, Cineform of GoPro, MXF OP1a, among others. As I understand it, these formats offer excellent features help video publishers to do their work.

I was able to edit files directly AVCHD with Premiere Pro and after affects.

My question is, what are the benefits, if any, I'd get if I converted my content from AVCHD to one of the intermediate formats before as I have start to change? It would speed up Adobe software? It would provide the best quality in the end? It would make various effects function better?

Ultimately, all the videos I do will be encoded in the format h.264 for web distribution.

Please note: I am not asking the workflow easier or more obvious (which is just to work with AVCHD files directly). I want to know if I can gain advantages in transcoding in another format before I in post-production and that these benefits are specifically for each of the different intermediate codecs.

Thank you.

Well, every format has its own advantages and disadvantages. Higher end codecs tend to be very large and take much more space, but behave better when apply effects or greenscreen work.

However, you cannot really improve the quality that comes from your camera, it is an indispensable part of the workflow. You CAN transcode to, say, ProRes HQ and get better results with your fx work, but it will be as good as something turned on a higher end camera.

Maybe do some tests on a small piece of video. Transcode into several codecs and do exactly the same treatment to all clips, including your original. Then compare them and see if the improvement is worth your time and additional hard drive space.

  • What are the benefits should the software Intel offers compared to Win zero configuration

    (Satellite M60, Intel 2200BG)
    A few months ago Intel released new software WLAN (a major problem for the security, etc.). Initially, there was a memory leak problem, but he was soon fixed. However, they always seem to be a resource hog: there is the CPU usage in the Task Manager on the cob of 10 to 20% every 5 seconds all the time, also WIFI turned off & off, overall performance is affected - this can be seen for example in the tests of hard drive.

    I noticed that in order to use windows to configure WLAN & then kill two switching processes (iFramework, S32EvMon (?)) eliminates this activity.
    Recently, new Intel drivers are offered by Toshiba also, so I'm about to reinstall them with the option "drivers only".

    Anyone know what are the benefits should the full Intel software offer compared to Windows zero configuration?
    As far as I know, monitor event S32 is supposed to improve coordination Intel WLAN and LAN, working together.

    The new package is about 50MB in size, while the former was 2MB.

    Hi Sammo

    You have already preinstalled new driver? The package is really about 50 MB and Intel PROSet utility.

    I can tell you that offers software Intel the same configuration options of Windows. Maybe Utility Intel PROSet is friendly and kind but designed WLAN Windows settings by using, you can exactly the same.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, what are the benefits of using the spindle to spindle and BBM?

    I have not used BBM again but was compose and send messages pins (peer-to-peer). Is this the same thing as the BBM and what are the benefits of each? Are they better than just SMS?  Would like to have an explanation, because I'm confused!  Thank you!!

    BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another.  The message is composed by the sender and goes through the secure server of the RIM before being delivered to the recipient.  They are only available for BlackBerry users.

    The thing I like about them, it is how you can see if they have been received by the recipient.  Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you will notice a small would be "at the beginning of your message.  In other words, that it is delivered.  When the recipient opens the message, who had "will change to a 'R' for 'reading'.  So now you know that it is actually received by the recipient.

    One more great thing about these messages, it's that there is no length limit.  As you probably know, most carriers limit SMS 160 characters; not the case with these messages, they can be much longer.

    BBM and PIN messages are of the same type of message, but with PIN messages, you are limited to just contact reception.  With BBM, you can have a lot of contacts on a cat, or you can broadcast a message to multiple contacts at the same time.

    I hope this explains things for you.

    What are the benefits of the VAL?
    And
    Why is it good for the database?

    for ex

    CoID = #Val (CoID) #.

    VAL ensures that the entry is a numeric value and returns a number regard so she can ensure that the entries do not conflict with a definition of type of DB and throws errors.

    Personally, I prefer to validate using IsNumeric, as VAL may return a value of 0 if the first didgits of the presentation are in fact digital, but not the rest.

  • What is the difference between AXIEM and EMSIght? What are the benefits of AXIEM by EMSight if any?

    I wonder what are the differences between AXIEM and EMSight. Are associated with application? One is better than the other? Please explain.

    AWR estimated AXIEM most powerful plan EM Simulator around.   AXIEM is at the center of continuous research and improvement, while EMSight is only worked on if revealed serious flaws.  Here is a summary of the differences:

    Mesh

    • EMSight must mesh the nearest grid drivers using rectangles.  This causes the mesh to have more elements mesh when there are small and large geometries.  The grid should be small enough to capture the small geometry but then causes large geometries to mesh more.   In addition, angled or curved structures causes inefficiencies mesh.

    • AXIEM STS forms, rather than a grid.  In addition, the mesh can be rectangle or triangle.   This allows a much more efficient mesh.   AXIEM generally have a much more efficient

    • AXIEM contains the ability to process forms to clean geometries that cause inefficiencies of the mesh.  EMSight does not have this feature.

    • AXIEM can forms thick metal mesh, EMSight can not, and user must make approximations when thick metal will change coupling (loss is recorded properly with the thickness of the metal)

    Ports

    • The ports are for the most part similar, but parasites due on AXIEM ports are less.  In addition, the AXIEM has a side wall, thus the effects of not move of the terms of reference of the edge of the line are a lot less AXIEM in.

    • Ports can be added to most any place in geometry with AXIEM.  For EMSight, the ports are usually only added outside the geometry and have limitations to the aircraft on either side of the reference speaker.

    Problem solvers

    • EMSight does not have a low frequency Solver.  Stop low-frequency and then extrapolate to DC.  This usually works well, but you must take into account if the extrapolation is accurate.  AXIEM presents both a low and high frequency Solver so will do better in a low frequencies generally much better in DC.

    • Solver of EMSight scales O (n) ^ 2 for memory and O (n) ^ 3 for the moment.   It has a special algorithm to break the question of memory, but the question of time is the killer.  AXIEM has a direct Solver which scales in the same way and an iterative Solver which will scale O (nlogn).   In other words, AXIEM can solve a lot of bigger problems than EMSight.

    • Several AXIEM processes are multithreaded as EMSight.

    Speaker

    • EMSight is inside a perfect driver side wall.   This works well if you the circuit is in the same cavity.  If not, you must know the rules of them on to the forms of space of the flanks and how that much to extend the port could reference planes.   AXIEM is not here.   AXIEM does not currently have to simulate a perfect driver side wall.

    I don't know that I missed a few aspects of the tools.   From the point of view of the AWR that AXIEM is the tool of choice, except in a few cases have been EMSight may be required.

  • What are the benefits and drawbacks of shredding MFT space?

    Original title: MFT Shreading

    Hello

    Grate way to remove a file or folder completely so that it cannot be recovered.

    The reason why we need to destroy unused disk space, is that when you delete a file from your hard drive, it does not get deleted from your drive hard data from the index to the file system entry is deleted. And the space that is occupied by these data is marked as free and made available for the storage of new data on it. But it is that deleted data still there exist on your hard drive physically.

    If you have deleted your data sensitive hard drive, which is secret, then it is advisable to opt for the destruction of unused disk space where the deleted data are hidden. By doing so, you can achieve the security and confidentiality of your data. What are the advantages, disadvantages could be that if you grate a folder and go back, you only may not be able to that it will be gone forever. He must be careful that crush us.

  • Is it still useful to install SP2 for Vista on 64-bit system? What are the benefits?

    OK, so I have Windows Vista Premium Home Edition on a laptop HP with Service Pack 1 installed. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows functionality, because there are so many unnecessary and space-hogging updates that I can't be bothered. I've never had a problem with the system or security issues (I use Avast Antivirus among other tools/software as needed) and I've had this phone for almost 2 years now. In the past, whenever I installed a major update, it will eventually create problems that were not there before the update so I'm really hesitant to install SP2. ONLY that I even consider it is because I have problems with Windows Movie Maker and tried to install Windows Live Movie Maker, but it won't let me do that without having installed SP2. To install SP2, I have install all the boring updates I have never installed SP1. so, all this makes me wonder if it's the same penalty to install SP2 in the first place? I can use other video editing software, if necessary, but if someone can tell me what SP2 has or does that SP1 is not, and all the benefits of the installation, I would be better able to make a decision. Any advice? Info?

    Thank you!

    If your happy with SP1 and your AV software with the new version of each exercise supports still SP1 then follow it. Just be aware that Microsoft (and I'm not a Microsoft employee) will give you no support after the data that I posted.

    IAM from the India.

    I have a laptop Dell-Inspiron-3521 (win - 8.1, touchscreen).

    It's almost a year since I bought this laptop & the warranty will expire on 07February2015.

    I want to know the benefits of renewing my subscription OR what happens if someone has a guarantee on access to his laptop?

    that is, customer gets free or not expensive replacements for batteries etc... OR it's the same cost to repair your laptop, whether in warranty ot not...?

    MY WARRANTY DETAILS ARE;

    Service provider start date end date

    LS (no description available) DELL February 7, 2014 7 February 2015

    I APPRECIATE ANY KIND of HELP or you guys can share your own experience here WRT-warranty dell (since I very little time left to make a decision.)

    Batteries are normally classified as consumables and generally covered only for 1 year standard regardless of warranty for the system.

    The warranty will only be for the rest of the equipment of systems; Reference Dell will replace for example, motherboard, hard drive, processor, screen, charger if they fail. These can be expensive for the user to the source and manually replace.

  • What are the benefits lost by choosing to publish a standalone app vs kiosk application?

    Questioning the benefits lost by publishing a standalone app vs a newsstand one.

    Can I still send push notifications to users of stand-alone application?

    Questions can always be downloaded in the background?

    A detailed checklist on the features available for booth only applications would be nice to see.

    Newspaper kiosk apps get background downloads. You can always send notifications push for applications non-kiosque to newspapers, but for the moment, push does not support background downloads in applications non-kiosque to newspapers. It just displays a red badge on the icon to indicate the number of new issues.

    Support background downloads in applications non-kiosque is on the road map, but I do not have an estimate of the time.

  • What are the benefits of using a namespace, such as "flow"?

    Last week, I started to drawn through several articles to blogs, livedocs and api on TLF and noticed in some XML data that will be used to the TLF uses namespace, such as "flow."  What benefits are currently or in the near future to use?  And it is--to have the data to use a namespace?

    Moreover, this framework gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to begin to produce work of this one.

    The main reason to use a namespace is if you want to use some of your items and will not have to worry about name collisions. But you can make space names tlf (or another) space of names by default, then you do not have to use the stream: prefix everywhere.

    Happy that you can't wait to write code on TLF! Let us know how it goes for you.

    Not only "db security.  Security is (or SHOULD BE) a matter of concern for everyone.  Not only theoretical ("Yes, I know safety is important") but existential ("here's what I actively search for in my work area").  This is exactly why one of my former employers required all the world with no responsibility for computer systems (SA, DBA, Net Admins, developers, technical support) Security + certified.
