Hello all,
i played around recently a lot with finding the best proxy format for
editing with Adobe Premiere Pro (CC).
My hardware/OS specs:
* Windows 7 Pro 64bit
* ffmpeg version N-66639-g6b347f5
I tried a lot of different formats, including:
1. ProRes MOV's
2. MJPEG MOV's
3. I-frame only MPEG2
There are several problems with these: Premiere skips randomly loading
1.'s when importing many of them, crashes from time to time with 2.
and 3. worked best but from time to time i get playback errors and
skipped frames.
So i really want to go with MJPEG in an AVI container. I like MJPEG for
the speed/size/quality. And Premiere likes AVI.
The only problem: I don't get ffmpeg to write a correct timecode inside
the avi's.
So, here i have 3 files:
a) N_EFST_X102_000.mov: the original source file, ProRes 422
b) N_EFST_X102_000_adobe.avi: Uncompressed avi (resized to 640x360 for
size reasons) encoded from Adobe After Effects
c) N_EFST_X102_000_ffmpeg.avi: MJPEG AVI, encoded with ffmpeg with the
following command:
(The timecode given is just for testing purposes, i would read it later
via ffprobe)
ffmpeg -report -y -i N_EFST_X102_000.mov -timecode 15:59:59:20 -metadata
timecode="15:59:59:20" -c:v mjpeg -qscale:v 6 -c:a mp3
N_EFST_X102_000_ffmpeg.avi
When i import file b) in Premiere, it has the original timecode from the
source file a) even though there appears no timecode in ffprobe's output
of b)
When i import file c) in Premiere, timecode is always 00:00:00:00, even
though there IS a timecode in the metadata
So here is my question(s):
How can i write correct timecode inside an AVI container, so that
Premiere supports it?
Is this even possible? I've read something that AVI doesn't support TC...
How does Adobe manage to do it (see file b))?
Here is the ffprobe output of the 3 files mentioned:
Thanks, Dietmar
