Hi guys,
I just downloaded and tested LRTemplate to compare the workflow LR+LRTemplate against FCP+Color. After half a day of playing around I must admit that I like the new workflow that LRTemplate offers me. With the opportunity to ramp WB, Exp, etc. I can adjust the photos more precisely than in Color because LRT and LR are made for photos. Unfortunately LRT gets really slow after a while (10-20min) because of Java ... (I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.8).
Anyway, one thing I didn't figure out yet is the codec stuff. I downloaded the templates for the slideshow and the video export settings, but unfortunately I can't change the codec or the bitrate. Of course I opened the template in TextEdit to modify it, but neither resolution nor bitrate nor codec is changeable.
I checked the values for the different levels on wikipedia (Wikipedia - H264 Levels) but somehow it doesn't work.
For higher resolution I used a higher level, but it won't work.
Since LR is stating errors I changed the levels for higher bitrates as well although it wouldn't be necessary relating to the H264 standards.
If I changed the H264 profile to HIGH or HI10, there's always an error message.
Usually it shouldn't be a problem to use level 5.1 with 4096x2304 @ 25fps and 200Mbit/s. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anybody help me?
And yeah, I don't know if LR is supporting other codecs than H264, but if it does how can I change it in the template?
Thank You!
