Hi all,I have a challenge regarding just how good Sorenson press is. I use Liquid 7.2 for my editing & although i have not had bad results with the encoding for video on the web i am wondering if Sorenson would be worth the money for this task. I undergo downloaded the trial version but was not able to get any good results. & not change surface as good as from within Liquid. I undergo seen the quality of your video Per Johan & experience that you too use Liquid 7.2 but do all your encoding with Sorenson so i figure i must have been doing something wrong. Any comments would be accept. Thanks,Bryce
Bryce sorry to hear about your problems. Well here is my workflow using Liquid 7.2 for editing and Sorenson press for web compression. I shoot all my stuff in 1080/50i (interlaced) and edit on a HDV 1080/50i (1440x1080 16X9) timeline. I think Australia also use PAL so this will be suitable for you to use too. When done in the edit process I do a mark in and out and export the sequence to a Mpeg-2 register where I choose HD 720p as the format. I get the settings default which mean:- Resolution 1280x720- Interlacing Progressive- close in evaluate 25- Audio Fomat 48 kHz... Switch to Sorenson Squeeze. Import the register then decide Quick measure then HD 480p apply this setting click the + write and right click SV3 Pro then choose EditIn this window do the following:- alter sure the Maintain Aspect Ratio is on- Set Frame coat to 428 W you can pshycally create verbally 428 in the handle.- check that codec is Sorenson Video 3 Pro- analyse that method is Sorenson 2-pass VBR- Data Rate set to 2500 kpbs- close in Rate 1:1- Biderctional close in Allow- Min quality unchecked- Quick Compress unchecked- visualise Smooting checkedclick OK and then Squeeze ItThe compression will now act displace check the size of the compressed QT-file when finished you have to analyse it with Windows Explorer. Normally a 3 min compressed file ordain be around 55-58 MB with the settings used. If the file size excel 60 MB then lower the Data evaluate by 500 or something like this and try again. One note: I open that Liquid and Sorenson are not happy with each other! I always close Liquid before opening Sorenson. I don't know why but if I don't do this I got some issues when playing the compressed file in Sorenson! So keep this in object!Hope this will help you out.
Thanks very much Per,So is that a definate yes i should buy it if i be exceed quality than what i get with Liquid? It's not that i'm having trouble with what i'm doing more that i'm just after exceed quality. Thanks,Bryce
Bryce. If you have the be of money I would definitive go for the Sorenson package. I was struggeling a lot with the compression for good web quality and small files sizes with Liquid. After I got Sorensen it work desire a appeal which my vidoes at my website fully affirm. Of course there are tons of free or shareware package out there on the web which maybe do a exceed job than Liquid does. I haven't tested any of those. Others may go in with suggestions here...?
Hi Bryce,From my experience. I have found the Sorenson Squeeze software to be very shelter. Just to add to Per's comments. I bought the training software when I purchased Sorenson press - which recommends MPEG 4 change where your target platform is Quicktime. This is due to the Apple AVC being a better codec than Sorenson (in there opinion) - and Apple's codec is only supported in MPEG 4 (played through Q7). Following the samples shown in the training DVD's. I sight that I end up with a 20 - 25mb mpeg4 file where I use a data rate of around 1,000 bps. The quality doesn't seem to alter much visually when I use a higher data rate (in my experience). I evaluate Per's work speaks for itself in terms of the value of this software however it is expensive. Kevin's comments about the special deal sounds promising?Hope it all works out for you.
Thanks all for the feedback,I will have a be at the DJ site & might undergo to go for this deal!Bryce. P. S. Just started editing my night measure footage! Off to BrisVegas tomorrow so i had better get moving!
Thanks Kevin for the tip i did actually recieve an email from DJ about this furnish but they are so often so hard to react it can be a fortune to recieve these email notifications about their great offers that i often close the telecommunicate shortly after opening it in the hope that i will forget about it until it's gone! :) This was one of those offers that i ended up opening the email for again and ofcourse that is exactly what a Visa separate is for right?Per. Thanks for your tips on how to force my video for the web with Sorenson press it worked well. & i can definately see the difference in the quality for such a small file. David i ordain give the MPEG-4 compression a go in the coming weeks who knows by the time the next challenge comes around maybe i'll have a good handle on this great software. & ordain be able to consistantly produce a good looking register. Of course first i ordain need to get some good footage onto my timeline!!:)Thanks again to yo all for your help,Bryce
