Episode unhandled exception errors
by Yann Heckmann on Oct 30, 2009 at 11:49:44 pm

Hi, I've installed the recent Episode update, but there is still a problem when trying to resize certain clips:

I have received an uncompressed mov file from color grading (format: "none") and it's header/wrapper (not an expert in these matters) was set so that the clip which is actually 1920x1080 would show up as 960x540 when the clip information was received by Finder etc. . Now, when trying to resize this clip in Episode, the software gave me all sorts of error messages and refused to complete the batch job (resizing to 960x540, 640x360 and 480x270). So I thought it might have to do with the clip metadata, took it into FCP and rendered out a reference file with the correct settings (1920x1080), but Episode still gives me the same errors after a while.

Does anyone have similar problems and maybe a good workaround?

Cheers,
Yann

Alright, I got it to work by changing the following settings (before > after):

Resize Tab:

Maintain Proportion: None (Distort) > Letterbox (Pad)
Preprocessing: Nothing > Lowpass for large Downscales
Interlace: Automatic > Progressive
Input Display Aspect Ratio: Derive from Source > Assume Square
Output Pixel Display Ratio: Automatic > Square
Output Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic > Square

H264 Tab:

Encoding Speed/Quality: 100 > 90
Display Aspect Ratio: From Source > 1:1 (Square)
Initial Buffer Fullness: 100 > 90
Number of Slices: 1 > Automatic

Would anybody have a hunch or know even which one of these settings might be responsible for the errors encountered before changing them?

Cheers,
Y

For anybody who might find it useful:

It's not the "Number of Slices" setting ;) .
