I love TAW5 and make heavy use of the Batch Authoring Tool.
Currently the top line of text in all of my batch entries reads the same thing ("Output to J:\Temp\"), except the active entry which reads "Output to J:\Temp\MyMovie".
That makes it hard to move entries around in the queue as I can't tell which is which. Can we please have the full project path for ALL batch entries, and not just the active one? Thanks!
I can on the forum today to wright a letter just like yours. I love the program in general but having 6 or7 tasks in batch processing and not being able to tell what the are except for the one that is currently being processed is very annoying. All you can do is open the batch entry for editing in the main program to find out what it is.
As of TAW6, this still hasn't been addressed. But you can at least right-click the batch entry and select "Save as Project File". The file name is pre-filled with the actual underlying project, and once you know what that is, you can just cancel the save. Still fiddly, but quicker than the editing option.
I'm a registered user of TAW 3 and am looking to upgrade to TAW 4.
I just emailed the sales department today and they said they no longer sell this product and should go with TAW 5. Problem is, I already tried TAW 5 and it doesn't work well on my system. Any way I can buy TAW 4 license ?
>MEPG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, provided it is in the proper resolution and framerate. See this page for some basic video and audio specs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Video
thank you I tried a compliant mpege and no encoding needed :)
Hello
Rendering a huge file to Blu-Ray, the CPU from 20% to 74% and back to 20%. I have nothing else running and would like to get it up to 95% if possibe
Question #2: What file format is fastest to encode to Blu-ray ?
thank you
I have just decided to try using Authoring Works 5 and had not problems building the project but I cannot get it out of the software and onto a disc.
every time I try to output the project to either a file location or a Blu-ray burner the program comes back with an error code. " at Address "hexcode", Write error occurred against address "same hex code" when I clear it and try to do it again the program locks up and I have to CTD to get out of it.
this happens no matter what physical or logical drive I attempt to use. Internal or external.
When I encode a file is there a way of doing a preview so I can see a brief clip of the output of my encoding. I basically want to see if the quality is either shocking or acceptable of my re-encoded files.
I've tried the Preview button but it only shows what your clips will look like with any filters, etc not what they look like after encoding. I noticed when encoding the preview shows the source picture is there a way of showing the destination/output image ?
To see how it would look after encoding, you'd have to encode it. So no, there's no encoding preview.
However, you could just create a small clip from your footage (like 20 seconds or so) and then encode it with your output settings to see what the quality is like.
Would it be possible to perform audio fade-ins and fade-outs just before and after the edit points within a clip without re-encoding all the audio of the clip. Often, the audio at such places can be loud and sudden due to broadcasters' desire to make more room for commercials, even to the point of eliminating the original fade-ins and fade-outs.
Currently, I manually do both of the above by placing three copies of each clip in a row, trimming the first down to ~1500 ms and introducing an audio fade-in, the 2nd by 1500 ms at both beginning and end, and the third to ~1500 ms and introducing a audio fade-out.
Improving it further, could you add the ability to introduce a silent blank filler gap at the edit points of user-selectable length? The result, audio fades and blank filler gap in the middle makes for a more professional looking result but does take a lot more time when done manually.
I'd like to know how do I add 5.1 PCM (24bit - 48kHz) audio to a Bluray. What format must the audio be in?
I can create multichannel WAV, but only up to 4 GB in size, this means they can only be about 80 min long. Is there another uncompressed format I can use?
Also, must the channel layout be fixed? I always use L R C Lf Ls Rs.
Subtitles. In my opinion these need a serious update.
1. to be able to import srt subtitles and retain ITALICS information. This is very important for professional authoring. Italic subtitles are used to denote songs or off-screen dialogue. They could be assigned another style and the user chooses how they look.
2. Forced subtitles system. For pro authoring it is important to be able to play forced subtitles for each language, without having to select anything. If a certain audio language is selected, the corresponding forced subtitles track plays automatically, without option to disable.
Hi,
As a request: to be able to load dts and dolby TrueHD audio. I'm not asking for your software to encode in these formats, I understand there are licensing issues. I just want to add for example a .mlp (TrueHD) file I have encoded myself. I even don't mind if I can't preview (prehear) it. Just to be able to multiplex it into the Bluray.
That would be awesome.
I'm trying to add background music to all menus. I have a 5 min. long ac3. I managed to add it to a single menu screen. But my idea is that the same music plays continously in all menus, without breaks. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Not possible. Each menu is made up of a separate movie file, so each time a different menu is loaded, it will start from the beginning of the movie file. This is also how commercial DVDs work.
