Export Dilemma, please help

I have a dilemma. I use iMovie 08 to import my ACHD. I then edit in iMovie 08 and most often iMovie HD.
My source is 1080/60i. I import at Full.
My output is in DVD. I want to make a sd dvd and also have a Quicktime File for burning Blu-ray later. Either through Toast on a regular DVD or a Blu-ray burner, once I get the software and or burner.
My work flow involves editing and then sharing to Quick Time for the Blu-ray movie. For the regular DVD I would like to share to Quick Time.
I would use AIC and current fps and for the compressor the other box checked and the interlaced box unchecked ???
Have blur set to 2.
For size would I set to ??? In 08 I understand 1280x720 HD is the best quality, but what happens in iDVD to it? And what about form iMovie HD, any difference?
For the Blu-ray version I would use the settings above but for the size I would use HD 1920X1080 16:9
I have sent projects straight to iDVD (from iMovie HD) and I end up with a 720x404 movie. The quality seemed OK for SD DVD on a smaller HDTV.
I could use some help form someone who is experienced in this type of work flow. I have tried many experiments and not hit on a great quality DVD. My next imports I am planning on converting before importing, not sure to what. Does iMovie HD and 08 handle the clips the same (in terms of de-interlacing)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I might be asking too many questions in one post. Let me try a different approach.
1)When I do a Full import of 1080/60i AVCHD into iMovie08 do I now have 1080i/30 AIC clips or are they progressive?
2)If I then import these clips into iMovie HD 06 do they get converted at all if the project is set for HD 1080i 30 ?
3)Would there be any benefit to exporting to QT expert settings vs just importing to iDVD form either HD 06 or 08?
Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Motion Export glitches - PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I have had it with Motion.
    I am trying to export something that I have had done for 3 weeks and each time I export it a new glitch comes up on the export. For instance - graphics will be missing, video will all of the sudden gitter, and emitter will move, a graphic will move. Is this program for real? How can anyone run a business with this???????
    I have a totally clean system. Everyrthing has been reinstalled - Is Motion just the buggiest progam ever? Please help me if you can - My clients are hanging in the balance. Im exporting as an animation millions plus. Not using compressor. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Thanks for the info -
    Is there any way around it?
    Why is there that size restriction?
    At this point - Im resolved to render pieces til they work properly and re-assemble them in FCP or Motion withouth the 2048 size problem and cut my losses. That will take far less time then fixing all of the graphics that exceed that size restriction. I love the ease of Motion - its just frustrating some of the bugginess Im getting from the program.
    Anyway - let me know if you have any other helpful ways around this -
    Thanks for helping me solve this - I'll have to find more creative ways or use 3D plugins to make things 'fly' at you in the future.

  • Export presets - please help!

    Hi everyone,
    In Premiere CS3 (MAC) I had a list of presets under Adobe Media Encoder,such as NTSC source to download 1024 and HDTV 1080p 24 etc.
    These were perfect for the sort of things I was doing, but in CS4 they aren't there any more. There is no Adobe Media Encoder option under export, just media, and I've tried recreating the settings in there, but I get jumpy audio etc.
    Is there a way to import these presets from CS3? If so where are the presets saved?
    Please help!!
    Chris

    In fact, ignore me, I realised if you choose H.264 the presets appear underneath..

  • Premiere CS4 doesn't launch media encoder when exporting. Please help!

    Trying to finish up a project but my school just upgraded to cs4 this week. It's running on a mac. I tried to export to no avail, watched a tutorial and saw that media encoder is supposed to launch on export. Since it wasn't launching, I went to media encoder and launched it seperately and re-exported. It still did not work. Is there a patch that needs downloading? Please help me get through this. I need to wrap this up ASAP.
    Thanks!

  • Missing audio after export. Please help!

    So I made a video for myself and friends on iMovie and included some music that I legally purchased. This video is entirely non-commercial so I didn't see an issue with using some music for it.
    when I export from iMovie, I get the video with no sound and then after the video ends I get the audio with no video. Can anyone explain to me what in the world is going on? First I can see the entire video with no audio, then all I see is white and the audio from the video pops up.
    Last problem is that all the music is missing from iTunes. I can hear all the other audio, but the music I imported from iTunes is missing. It's just the regular audio I imported from the video camera with the clips. Can someone please help me out?
    THANKS!

    hi Sue,
    In my timeline I had the music across both audio bars. Once I reimported the audio, it was all on the third timeline bar. It was colored orange. The audio files do not overlap at all however. So the top bar is filled with the video tracks. The second bar is empty. The third bar has the audio files. They are one after another, seperated by a second or two of silence. There is audio playing on some of the clips of video, but on most of the clips I have muted so that the music should be all you hear. I actually muted the clips themselves, and not the entire bar.
    All the boxes on the far right are checked. I do not have a camera attached. I do have an external hard drive attached via firewire. I have over 80 individual clips in the video. I have 512 Megs of RAM and a 1.25 Ghz processor on my lampstand iMac G4. The file is about 9 minutes long.
    when I export it to quicktime all the video shows up, without any errors except for the fact that it is completely silent. At the end of the video, I get a white screen and the audio from the video clips starts playing, in order, as though I extracted the audio from the entire video and placed it at the end for no reason. None of the music plays. The files that were muted appear to be staying muted, but the ones that have sound are playing. I followed the instructions above about burning a CD, importing the audio files from the CD and then exporting the video to avoid copy protection issues.
    Under my advanced options in the Preferences window I unchecked "extract audio in paste over" and "filter audio from camera" after the first two times this happened to me. the problem continued after I unchecked those.
    I think I've given you as much info as you might need. If there are any other questions please ask and I'll try to get the info for you. Thank you VERY much for your time and help.

  • -.- Lousy Powerpoint exporting. Please help IMMEDIATELY

    Well, I have a group project Keynote script due tomorrow, and without the proper format, Windows obviously will not open the presentation. Turns out my partner is a bit of a dizzy female, no offense to you smart ones =), and forgot to export it to the proper format. Would you be so kind as to export this to Powerpoint? My email is [email protected], and here is the link to download the keynote.

    Thanks so much.
    P.S. Please help me as soon as possible, because I really want a good grade on this project. o.0

    Done, but no guarantees as to whether it's converted satisfactorily. (Emailed from a blind Hotmail account, don't bother to reply to it as I check it infrequently.)

  • EXPORT PDF PLEASE HELP!!!

    I just purchased ExportPDF and I dont know how to open a PDF form I was sent by email from my University, Fill out the form and send it back.  It wont let me save any changes, share the form in an email, anything!! I dont even know if im opening the form in the right way??
    please help, im on a time crunch!!!!!!!

    You don't need ExportPDF to open a PDF document or fill out a form; just the free Adobe Reader will do.
    What is your operating system?  Have you saved the PDF to your local disk, or are you opening it in a browser?  If so, what browser?

  • IMovie creates weird frame flickering on export only -- please help!!

    Hello iMovie experts.. Need your advise!!!!!
    I've been using iMovie 11 for some time now... Had no issues... All of a sudden a few days ago,
    after I already burnt a disk, i noticed blinking in the clip where I had a 'Dream' video effect...
    I opened the exported mov file, and the blinking is there.... So I went to the project, no issues, - the clip that
    has the effect plays good, no 'flickering'..
    As soon as I export it -- on the clip where i apply a video effect, every second or so I see a black frame, or the blurred frame, or a frame as if the
    effect wasn’t applied to that clip....... 
    I tried exporting via almost everything... Export Movie, Export to QuickTime (no compressions, mp4, h264, etc), ... same thing
    is happening over and over...  I tried removing the Preference file from User\Library\Preferences file, but it did not help..
    I also tried duplicating a project. What happened was, the problem did not go away, but on top of that, it created about
    10 minutes of black video towards the end of the movie...... ?!?!?!?!?!
    I also removed Flip4Mac and Divx components... no luck...
    Can anyone suggest anything please??  thanks!
    Running latest Snow Leopard update...

    You know, i optimized a video once, and it was very jerky when it played at about 40% speed (slow-motion), vs. when I import non-optimized..
    I dont want to jump the gun yet, as the below doesnt really make sense, at least to me, BUT......
    What I noticed is that the flickering of the clips with applied effects only happens when there an opening
    transition in the very beginning of the project..  I placed a "fade-in" transition in the beginning so that the video  fades in as it starts....  As soon as i removed it.. it exports fine, no flickering, no nothing, back to normal..
    .... I also tried a few new small projects with and without the transition in the beginning and I would get the same pattern after export:  with a trans in the beginning of the clip with video effect, -- it would blink after being exported.. As soon as beginning trans removed -- back to normal..    I know... i doesnt make sense...
    I wonder if you can produce this:
    [fade in trans] [normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
    and
    [normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
    Thoughts??  I am scratching my head now!

  • Editing an export script - please help!

    Hello Photoshop friends,
    so I have an export script that I downloaded from the web which exports all layers to a file type of your choice - PNG, GIF, etc. This is fine, but the dialog box doesn't support file format options such as matte, dither, transparency and so forth. Is it possible to edit the script to give it literal values for these inaccessible variables instead of the default? I'v been digging around the script, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.
    Specifically, I want to leave the script intact except the following settings for the PNG8 format:
    Colours 256
    Transparency - YES
    "No transparency dither"
    Matte: "none" (currently it gives me a white matte)
    Please, I would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction please, please!
    Ulerika.

    Hey Michael, thanks for your quick reply. I tried to attach the script, but the forum won't allow me to do so. The script in question is here:
    http://tranberry.com/photoshop/photoshop_scripting/tips/layerstoPNG.html
    There is one big section dealing with PNG8 which I suspect is the place which needs to be changed. An extraction from this section for example reads:
    "var id35 = charIDToTypeID( "Mtt " );
    desc4.putBoolean( id35, true ); //matte
    var id36 = charIDToTypeID( "MttR" ); //matte color"
    Thanks.

  • IMovie Export Problems - PLEASE HELP !!

    I have assembled a 3 hour movie in iMovie. I have tried to export approx. 20 times with no success. I have duplicated and renamed the project - deleting the original, this still does not work. I attempted to use Screenflow to record the movie playing in full screen playback - the playback crashes approx 20 mins in. I have tried to play the project within iMovie and record the preview screen (on largest size available) and it crashes approx 30 mins in. I am in despair as I have worked on the content of the movie for approx 2 years.
    Tech Info
    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion during the creation of the movie.
    I have updated iMovie when updates are available.
    I have 12GB RAM on board.
    Hard Drive (1TB) is has approx 280GB free.
    iMac - Oct 2011 - 27"
    Really appreciate it if someone could help. Obviously I will not bin the project but am definitely looking for an easier fix than recreating the entire movie as I do not know if this is possible, both technically and mentally with the time that was put in already.
    Thanks in advance

    If you have Time Machine running, turn it off whenever you are exporting a project (and remember to turn it back on after the export is complete).
    Additionally, try splitting the project into two parts (or maybe three or more). Keep the duplicate you created earlier from the original so that you have at least one full copy of your project intact. Now create two (or more) duplicates and rename them appropriately (such as My Project Part 1, My Project Part 2 and so forth).
    Delete the second half from the first duplicate (My Project Part 1). Delete the first half from the second duplicate (My Project Part 2). If you created three or more duplicates, then break them up into the relevant segments by deleting appropriate sections.
    Now try to export one project at a time. Hopefully, iMovie will be able to handle the shorter projects. If one of the projects fails to export, there may be a corruption in that project file. Splitting that project further may help to isolate the problem.
    You may, of course, end up with several exported project files (movies), but at least you will have something for your efforts. If your intention is to burn a DVD, you can include them as separate movies on the DVD, but bear in mind that for a single layer DVD the total running time is limited to 2 hours when using iDVD (including menus). If publishing to the web, you could upload them as separate "episodes" or the like.
    TIP: When splitting up the project into shorter sections, you could add an appropriate title to the end and/or beginning of each section before exporting (such as, "End of Part One" and "Part Two" etc.) to avoid an abrupt end or start for each section.

  • Export Problems - PLEASE HELP! Thank you.

    Firstly many thanks for reading this post and any replys you may give.
    This is the first time I have used motion and am having a little trouble exporting my movie in the correct format. The finished movie needs to be put onto DVD for playback through a standard PAL player onto a 28" wide screen LCD at an exhibition. After searching the net I found what appear to be the correct settings, which are 720x576 PAL DVD/Anamorphic 1.42.
    The Movie looks great in Motion and everything is at the correct proportion. When I just do a standard quicktime export the finished movie appears to be squashed width ways as to fit on to a standard tv. I have played around with various export setting and it always comes out the same and I can't see any tabs to tick on output setting which renders the 1.42 anamorphic setting.
    I am using Motion version 1 and the movie contains just still images that fade and mask. I have noticed you can set each imported image to a certain aspect ratio, but I don't imagine this would effect the exported movie.
    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi mate,
    Just had the same problem myself working in Motion for Titles for a film in FCP. Basically the way I see it you mean like me when the clip from motion comes into FCP it is displayed as a square image whereas everything else on the timeline is Anamorphic. I ve spoken to Apple pro app support on the phone and its a very simple solution:
    Right click the clip in the browser and go to 'Item properties' then 'Format' then scroll down to 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' and simply click the two collums and a tick will appear. Now if the clip was already in the timeline delete it and put it back or just drop the clip on to the timeline and it is displayed as Anamorphic like everything else.
    Hope this helps you or anyone else with the problem.
    Regards
    Tom

  • GF4 TI4200 BSOD Dilemma - Please help!

    Greetings gurus and fellow frustrated gamers.  I purchased MSI's GF4 TI4200 about a year ago and have been putting up with a problem I thought was related to other components for a long time.  Every single 3D graphics game I play in windows XP will eventually and utterly crash with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which relates always to the nv4_dsp.dll file which is Nvidia's driver.  I have tried 12 drivers...MSI/NVidia/experimental with no change.  With help from the folks on the forum I replaced the PSU with an Antec 400w with no change.  I have tried my old Geforce2 MX400 with the same problem.  I have reformatted the computer 8 times and removed every single additional component except what was required to test my problem.  I just purchased Star Wars Galaxies and am now crashing 8-15 times a day.  I generally go 20-30 minutes between crashes.  This is no longer acceptable.  I have received this crash on Warcraft III, WC3:TFT, Neverwinter Nights, SWG, Black & White, and many more.
    I have found through search engines that this has something to do with some Windows XP systems and Nvidia drivers and is an issue that does not have a fix.  I am hoping that you can offer something that I can do to fix this problem.
    Before you ask...this has nothing to do with any other component in my computer.  It is not heat, the psu, the motherboard, the memory, the hard drives, etc.  I have replaced every single piece in this computer and it still occurs.  Check out this link for an example of someone else with the same problem: Similar Problem or use a search engine and type: nv4 blue screen.  You will see what I mean...this is happening to tons of people.
    My question: Is there a fix?
    Any help is most appreciated.  If there is not a fix, ATI is my only direction I can take.

    Richard,
