Exporting to Movie

Using FCE I've cut a movie using only square images from my Hasselblad, text, and music, and now I am trying to export my rendered product into a Quicktime movie. I have no idea what settings to use. What I've tried ends up either croping or squeezing my images to make them verticals. What settings does anyone recommend.
Thanks

Thanks DH
I have actually 2 targets. One for my blog, and the other for a reference movie -how I've ordered my images and with the music- to FTP to and editor, with hopefully much more expertise than I, who will take all my orginal image files, music, and text to compile and combine mine with other photographers who have been chosen to do the same.
Note playing around I tried to make an m4v file and again it compressed my square images vertical.

  • How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

    Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

    I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
    Apple describes ProRes here:
    About Apple ProRes
    And in that document says:
       "while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
    I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import,  the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

  • How do I export a Movie to Quicktime? And do I need to?

    Hello, how do I export a Movie in iMovie 11 to Quicktime, when the option is not listed?
    I have created some short videos with Lavelier Line6 mic, which apparently records your voice in stereo on one track, I am told (although I can't see stereo tracks anywhere within iMovie project, it looks like one track below the picture - but then I wouldn't know what to look for as I'm new to this!).
    I need to, I am told, export the final movie to Quicktime, in order to create a mono track rather than stereo.  I can't see how to do this, as Quicktime is not an option in my Share menu (facebook etc is there, but not Quicktime).
    Could someone advise me whether I need to do this at all?  Is a movie soundtrack automatically converted to mono if there is only one track?
    (Also, there is a small amount of hiss in the recording, which I have removed with background noise reduction, but could that hiss come from the unused track, does anyone know?  And if so, what is the best way to get rid of that track?  Of course, it may not be that at all!   I don't really want to get into complicated removal of audio tracks into other software and then readding to the picture, if I can avoid it.)
    Thanks for any advice you can give.  Fran x

    Use "Share to File".

  • FCP 7 Export Quicktime Movie Suddenly Stopped working

    I use FCP7 on Mavericks 10.9.2. Working in Final Cut with raw ProRes 422 footage and wanting to export my sequence as Export Quicktime Movie. Worked fine until one day it just didn't. Final Cut exports a QT file that QT opens and immediately attempts (and fail) to convert. Then I get a message that QT cannot recognize file type, even though file is a .mov.
    I send the file to the VLC media player, and it opens the file but only plays the audio. I have no idea why any of this is happening.
    Using "Export Using Quicktime Conversion" I can still get the uncompressed ProRes 422 sequence out of Final Cut, but that's a pain. I want Command-E back. Any ideas?

    If you love FCP7, you don't move UP to FPX - you move over to a new set of operational activities, a new vocabulary and a new media management structure. Notice the word "new" as in different, not "updated" as in a faster version of the same system.
    If you want a 64 bit version of FCP7, look into Premiere Pro CC.
    Best,

  • FCP "Export - QuickTime Movie" gamma shift

    Above is an example of what happens when I do a direct export in Final Cut Pro, using the Export -> QuickTime Movie function.  As you can see, the image is significantly brighter and the colors are a little more washed out (this image isn't particularly colorful, but trust me, it washes them out).  I always thought the Export -> QuickTime Movie meant the image would not be compressed--that it was a straight export using the sequence settings. 
    The image you see above was shot natively in ProRes 422 (HQ) using an Arriflex Alexa.  It has never been transcoded.  The bottom image is what it looks like using Export -> QuickTime Movie.  Totally unacceptable for a piece of professional software, if you ask me. 
    I can't express how infuriating this is, to have everything looking perfect in FCP and then exporting only to have it look like garbage.  I've been able to play with gamma correction a bit and have gotten it PRETTY close to the original look, but this seems like a horrible workaround.   
    Anyone else know why this is happening?  Is there a fix for this? 
    I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 10.1.

    Sure thing, Meg. 
    Here's a source clip with "approximate" gamma correction:
    "Approximate" gamma correction makes the image look flatter within Final Cut Pro than it actually is.
    Now, the very same clip and frame, but with gamma set to "Accurate" :
    Now, things are switched.  The exported image looks flatter than the source clip within FCP. 
    Here's another tidbit of info--the frame from my first post was professionally color graded and exported as a self-contained movie--so there were no filters, FCP or otherwise, being applied there.  But the difference is just night-and-day to me. 

  • How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

    I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...

  • Error exporting long movie in Premiere Elements 4

    I just finished editing a movie in Premiere Elements 4.  Every time I try to export the movie, it begins rendering, gets as far as about 15%, and then says "Export Error: Error compiling movie.  Unknown error."  This happens no matter what format I choose.
    I've read that this problem can be caused by titles and transitions, of which this movie has both.  But I think the problem is entirely due to the movie's length, which is six minutes and fifty-five seconds.  I say this because if I split the movie into 25-to-50-second chunks, leaving all titles and transitions intact, all the chunks export with no problems whatsoever.
    I'm not running any other programs while the movie exports, but that doesn't help.
    The source files are MOV (and one PNG), and the resolution is 1920x1080.  I want to export it at the same resolution, otherwise what was the point of shooting in that resolution?  I'm running Windows Vista on a Samsung R522 laptop, if it helps.
    For what it's worth, I did manage to successfully export the audio portion of the movie as a WAV file.
    What can I do?  My movie is due to premiere at a local arts festival in a few weeks, so I need to sort this out.  I read somewhere that the ideal setup is to have three drives -- one for the source videos, one for running the program, and one to export the file onto.  Will that help?
    Many thanks for any suggestions you may have.
    -Grant

    Thanks Bill -- and thank you mods for moving the thread.  I couldn't find an Elements forum so I assumed there wasn't one.
    Actually, the progress bar in my version does tell you what frame it's on.  When I tried to export it just now, it gave up around frame 2328 of 12447.  Frame 2328 would be 01:17:18... which is the middle of a clip, with no titles, no effects, and no transitions, just ordinary video and sound.  30%, the number you suggested, gives frame 3738, which is 02:04:18, which is a different clip but the same deal.
    The exact number varies from attempt to attempt anyway, which is why I think it's a "system memory" problem rather than a problem with a certain moment in the film.  As I said, each part of the film exported fine on its own.
    The videos are all MOV format, 1920x1080, ranging in size from 40 MB to 666 MB (maybe the devil is trying to stop me from exporting).  There are 41 of them, giving a total of 11.9 GB.  The single PNG is also 1920x1080 and 6.02 KB.  The movie's audio is actually muted -- the audio that I successfully exported before was just the original audio from the raw clips.
    I've got 55.3 GB of free space on my C drive and 580 GB of free space on my external drive; Premiere won't successfully export onto either of them.
    Thanks for the link to the KB article, but I'd read it before and it didn't really help.  As it says, "unknown error" really does mean just that.  And it's clear that none of my clips or effects are problematic since they all exported fine when split into chunks.
    I really do appreciate your help!  I don't know too much about computers so if I didn't give you the information you were looking for please let me know.
    Thanks so much,

    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits

    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared

    I cannot help you because your description of the problem is very vague. First what software did you update, iOS or iMovie. Second where are you trying to export iMovie Films to?

  • Hello, I am not able to export a movie in IMovie 10.0.1.

    Everytime when I export a movie (for example as file, to I-Tunes or to the theatre) on my Mac Book Pro (from Februay 2013) I receive an error message. This Error Message is: "The Export of the Movie XY failed - Error during rendering of the video: -50" (I don't know if that is the exact english failurecode, because I am using the german version).
    I allready reinstalled IMovie 2 times. Does anyone of you know an answer?
    Best regards and thanks for help

    There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
    Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the comments of Didorx in this thread and of jguttenberg in this thread.

  • I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
    To find out if it's formatted as PC:
    Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
    Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.

    Every time I try to export my movie into a Windows Format from compressor it shrinks the movie to 27 seconds.WHY? HELP

    Probably because you have the free version of Flip4MAc from Telestream that limits exported files to 30 seconds or so. There ae several paid versions  – depending on your requirements
    Good luck.

  • QuickTime Pro 7.1 hangs when trying to export a movie.

    Hi There,
    I just installed the Key for QuickTime Pro on my Win XP laptop. Now, whenever I try to export a movie, QT just hangs there, using 99% of the CPU. The buttons in the dialog box seems to be active (change appearance when I hover them) but clicling any of them (including OK or Cancel) does nothing. The only way out is to kill the QT task.
    If I just click OK in the first export dialog, CPU usage jumps to 99% and hangs. If I select "Options" in the export dialog, the "options" dialog itself hangs and the CPU usage jumps to 99%.
    I did not try all menu options but it looks like the hang and use 99% CPU is pretty general since I was attempting to do an "Update Existing Software..." From the help menu and QT hang there too. But I can open de preferences, set them and close them without problems though.
    Looking in the Application even manager, this is the error reported:
    "Hanging application QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.1.0.210, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
    I purchased QT Pro today because I need to convert a sequence of files into a movie. Right now I cannot do that.

    Why not try updating your QuickTime software?
    Most current version is 7.4.1
