Exporting to PAL FLV

Hi Guys,
I can export quite happily to NTSC FLV but there don't appear to be any options to export to PAL
As I'm trying to update work that I have shot in PAL at high res this is a pain.
Any ideas?

Thanks Steve,
What confused me is that the pre-sets are labelled NTSC rather than just
Flash.

  • Premiere Elements 7: share/export DV-PAL in FLV/QT/WMV, black bars on top/bottom

    During export (step "share", export for "PC" - sorry, if I use some wrong terms, got a german interface) of only DV-PAL video to FLV/QT/WMV there are always black bars on top/bottom of the video and the picture is wrong in aspect ratio. I can't help.
    I tried different resolutions (original 720x576, 502x402, 320x240) and, as only possible with QT/WMV, different pixel aspect ratios (PARs), even user-defined PARs and 'wrong' aspect ratios (like 512x402). No chance. (I think precise user-defined data like "1,094" is not possible, because results did not change anyhow and this value is shown as "1".) With e.g. QT, 640x512, PAR 1,067 there are black bars with 6 px each.
    My project settings must be correct I think: DV-PAL, 720x576, 4:3, 25 fps.
    DV-PAL- and MPEG-Export/Share is no problem.
    As a workaround I export DV-PAL and convert with XMediaRecode to FLV. But I want direct and clean export with PrEl. That's what I bought it for recently.
    I wonder why there are only NTSC-setting suggested in FLV-share. I have to change the size by myself.
    And I wonder why Wikipedia says PAR for DV-PAL is "1,0940" and Premiere says "1,067".
    I'm new to Premiere Elements 7 (although I got some experience with Premiere 5/6.5, FinalCut, Cinelerra ...) using Windows XP.

    I posted two videos on muvipix.com:
    WMV cable modem settings PrEl (without audio, fps like original)
    Strange: in VLC media player there are bars on the left and right (and slight faded bars on top/bottom - hope you can see) and in muvipix.com and Media Player Classic there are bars at top/bottom

    FLV (no resize, without audio, fps like original)

    I had to deactivate sound because this is Creative Commons stuff and I don't want to give credits. And I changed fps to "like original" because 30 fps as standard in PrEl is wrong. It's PAL here.
    Thanks for your efforts.

  • NTSC Project Export to PAL?

    I have a project that I edited in Premiere and a DVD project designed in Encore CS6 - all in NTSC. A client in the UK needs a copy in PAL. What is the best way to approach this? Encore does not allow me to change the standard in Settings or Prefs. The DVD project is made up of mostly Dynamically linked Premiere sequences, shot and edited in NTSC

    If your DVD is not mulitlingual (Because FLV can have no multiple audiotracks) and you only want to show the final product to your client, without the requirement that it has absolutely to be played back in a 10+ years old PAL-only Player, you could always go for Webexport(Flash).
    If you have never tried it before: at best quality it pretty much is indistinguishable from the real deal.
    Flash excport is not a DVD and is not supported on APple devices either so not a great answer. Likewise, this will not play on any DVD players either.

    Sorry mocca, this is WAY over my head. I did not realize I needed PAL menus, only PAL video assets. I thought that if I created an Adobe project in PAL that Encore would encode the menus accordingly.
    Neil, I am able to export PAL from an NTSC sequence in Premiere. Or I can create a PAL sequence and cut and paste from the NTSC sequence already edited - without timeline markers, though. This is pretty frustrating stuff to keep track of. And I have no idea it will playback in England.
    Hi Alex.
    I understand your pain, believe me - and if your client is specifically asking for PAL, then that is what you have to deliver.
    Exporting a PAL asset from an NTSC sequence is indeed possible in PPro, but be very very careful as the frame rate differs from the NTSC, and you will have to check playback very carefully to make sure you are not just dropping frames which could result in twitchy playback. (NTSC is 30fps, PAL is 25 - all sorts of room for catastrophe there)
    There are settings in the render dialogue that can help with scaling (your footage will be scaled as well) and different render frame rates compared to sequence frame rates.
    Just tick the "Maximum render quality" and "Maximum depth" options & cross fingers & toes.
    Personally I have had much more success with After Effects than PPro for this type of work - the thing to remember in AE conversions is to be absolutely sure ytou set the option in t he render dialogue to "composition length" instead of "Whole timeline" or whatever it is called (memory fails me right now) or else your run time will change. To explain what I mean, we recently had to create a title where there were 5 film clips, one in NTSC, 2 in PAL and 2 more in 4 and 12 fps stop-frame animations. Without the "composition length" option ticked the thing simply ran out a hell of a lot faster than it should have done but with that option checked, AE just created new frames and the results were great.
    Menus also have PAL resolution of course, as well as the different PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) earlier discussed. Scaling these will ruin text in mnore cases than not & t he best approach is to rebuild all menus from scratch - it is actually quite simples in PhotoShop - just open your original NTSC screen, create a new PAL menu template from the presets given and then (after turning off SPHL layers) merge or flatten the original NTSC screen, and then drag the background onto the blank PAL menu, hit CTRL-T (make it a scalable object) and resize to fit your new screen - you may well need to fill in the blanks - and then just drop your button layers in & tweak.
    Final option is to check with client & ask them why they need PAL - which I have to congfess raises one question in my mind:
    WHen you shot the footage, had you been asked to supply NTSC or PAL originally? If they asked for NTSC, then you should charge them for the reworking to PAL.
    However, if they wanted just PAL in the first place then you have to bite the bullet on this one.

  • Exporting as an .FLV movie ??? Works from native QT but NOT FCP QT options

    I have Flash 8 + the video encoder and FCP 5.1.4 on my Mac.
    When using Quicktime independently I can export as an FLV. However when exporting from FCP (using Quicktime) there's no option...
    Can anyone help, I know this is possible because we have the same set up at work.
    Cheers. Mark.

    Yep, that's what I mean when I say I've tried from Quicktime...
    No option at all

  • Lost export option - Macromedia flv

    okay. I have been up all night so please excuse tired man's question. I usually export FCP to FLV by going to ; file/export/quicktime conversion and select "macromedia flv as the option. The option has disappeared. This happened after the last update, as best as I can determine. Does anyone know how to restore this function? If this was a third party app it installed automatically from another program.I have searched the discussion boards and saw the H264 option but I was really happy with the results I had before. Thanks in advance for any help you may have. zzzz.

    Macromedia's flv isn't a legacy codecs. Check you your hard drive OS library folder-->Quicktime folder for the flv component. If it not there do a spotlight search for it. Just type in flv. If you still can't find it your going to have to reinstall flash.
    You can only have the Macromedia's flv component if Flash 6 or 7 is install. From version 8 to date Flash is owned by Adobe.

  • Image quality issue while exporting video to FLV

    Hi, I have a major problem: I am using Adobe Media Encoder to export a movie (FLV format) and the image quality is so bad I can't read the text in my logo. The movie was created with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. No matter what settings I chose from Media Encoder dropdown menu, I get the same bad quality.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!
    Laurent

    Hi and thanks for the answer. The datarate is 1 500 Kbps, I increased it to 2 500 and I haven't noticed any differences. The source media is MPG from a camcorder. The export settings are 720 X 480 px. What are the sequence settings? I am not familiar with that.
    Thank you,
    Laurent

  • Exporting Anamorphic PAL footage to After Effects.

    Hi,
    I am exporting my PAL footage to After Effects as DV-PAL Anamorphic. I have tried various compostion settings on After Effects including DV Widescreen but it still imports back into FCP at a different aspect ratio.
    Does anyone know what settings I should use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon.

    Hi,
    Ok I just took a piece of footage out of FCP into AFX comp settings PAL DV/D1 Widescreen 720x576 Aspect ratio 1.42.
    I out put from AFX using DV Settings for the render settings and Quicktime DV PAL 48KHz for the output module.
    I brought the AFX clip back into FCP on top of the original and did a 50% vertical crop on the clip in the Upper channel they match perfectly!
    Not sure if I've done anything different to you but it works for me . . I suppose there is a possibility if you are using any 3rd party filters on the footage it might munge it in someway, if so using the method I used to check conformity you might be able to nudge the clip back to perfect aspect ratio.

    No Hugh! You'll be fine - if you have an external monitor it will need to contend with PAL.

  • How to export markers to FLV cuepoints?

    Is there a way of exporting sequence/layer markers to an xml document that could later be brought into Video Flash Encoder? I don't want to use AE for converting large video files. I actually tried, but the cuepoint tab was greyed out even though I made sure all the info was attached to the markers (as indicated by the appearance of a black dot). I was hoping that would be one way of exporting the data but I guess it's not...

    That's the thing: I don't want to render in After Effects at all. The only reason I bring my QT files to AE is so I can attach the markers to them and, as I was hoping, export flv cuepoints list to be used in Flash Video Encoder These are completely finished 30 minutes shows that just need to be encoded for the web with chapters but Final Cut Pro markers do not translate into cuepoints.

  • New MacPro Freezing when exporting to Flash FLV

    Hey guys, Hope you can help. I have been trying to export some videos to an FLV file yet every time I try my MacPro gives me the pinwheel and FCP stops responding. A few things you should know:
    I just go this MacPro for work (I'm at work). Specs are below. It's less than a week old.
    I also just upgraded it to Leopard - It came with Jaguar and an upgrade DVD.
    Also, my MacBook Pro exports to FLV just fine, which is still running Jaguar (it couldn't install Leopard correctly for some reason)
    I installed FCP Studio2 via a transfer from my laptop during the initial startup of the MacPro.
    Anyone had this happen? Now every time I need to export I have to transfer everything over to the laptop.

    For those who haven't figured it out yet, encoding to Flash thru Final Cut Pro (doesn't matter what version) seems to be choking on Leopard's system.
    I have a Quad 3.0gHz MP with 9GB of RAM exporting to Flash all the time and it works great...whereas on my 2.4gHz IC2D 17" MBP with 4GB of RAM it chokes.....
    I did some research and the reason is simple....Leopard and FCP's Flash exporting do not mix well. On the MP, I'm still running 10.4.11 and everything exports fine...no spinning beach ball of death, and it exports quickly. It exports JUST as quickly on my MBP, BUT because I have Leopard (10.5.2) on it, it hangs.
    If you check where the file is being saved on your comp/external hard drive, you'll see that even though FCP "Isn't responding," that it IS in fact still encoding, but Leopard for some reason doesn't like the encoder or something involved with it.
    I know this doesn't solve the problem, but that is the reason as to WHY it is hanging...any system with Leopard rendering out to Flash will have this issue until Apple releases an update for the fix..

  • Exporting video (PAL DV .avi) to a Mac computer (PAL DV .mov) - will I lose quality?

    I have this timeline which I am exporting from Adobe Premiere (cs3).  The format is PAL DV, .avi file.
    I then have to put this footage into Final Cut (Express) and re-export it as a MOV file  (there is a good reason for this).   This format is also  PAL DV (.mov)
    Anyway, my question is:   will I lose any quality in the "conversion" ?

    If you have CS3 Production Premium or Master Collection it comes with Adobe Encore for DVD burning. You can also create the chapter markers in Compressor before bringing them into DVD SP, or create them directly in DVD SP (provided they are on a GOP boundary).
    Alternatively, my company makes an app called QT Edit that will quickly add chapters to a QuickTime file without needing transcode it and it can import marker lists from other apps too.

  • Messed up color on export and exporting to pal

    I exported my sequence as a quicktime movie and also 'using quicktime conversion' but both times it has created a quicktime file that plays back the color as a kind of tinted neon (not sure how else to describe it). I know I'm missing something simple, but am not figuring out what it is. Is there some specific setting I need to change?
    Also, I am going to be sending this file via yousendit.com to a colleague in Europe who needs to burn it then to DVD in PAL. Is there anything I should tell them about doing this or anything specific that needs to happen with my quicktime file?
    Thanks

    Most set top players in Europe can handle NTSC disks, provided there is no region code lock out on it. If this is just a one-off project, you could check with your colleague first if this is possible with his system.
    Those players often have "NTSC Playback on PAL TV" silkscreened onto the front of the unit, or it may appear in the documenation.
    Computers do not care if your movie is NTSC or PAL -although region codes will prevent playback as with set top systems.
    You could use Compressor to convert to PAL, but it is a slow procedure. Take your QuickTime Movie with current settings and "self contained" as the starting point.
    The best way to assure quality is to play your master to tape and take it to a dubbing facility that can handle real time PAL conversion. The drawback here, of course -it costs money.

  • QT Pro 7 - trying to export .mpg to .flv - "export audio" option grayed out

    I've opened an .mpg video in Quicktime Pro 7 and am trying to export it to Flash video. It exports successfully, but the audio (present in the original .mpg) is missing in the exported .flv file.
    Investigating, when I try to export, I've clicked "options", went to the "audio" tab and found that the checkbox for "encode audio" is grayed out and unchecked. The format listed in this grayed-out window is MPEG layer III (MP3) - which I think isn't correct; this video I'm exporting is an MPEG version 1 file, with layer 2 audio.
    Help! What can I do to sucessfully export video with audio?

    QuickTime has never supported audio export from muxed file formats.
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg to other QuickTime formats (it doesn't export to .flv) and then export that new file to Flash.

  • Exporting swf as flv for a multi-part demo

    I am looking for a way to export and create a flv version of
    a demo I just completed. The current swf demo pulls in several
    different swf files at different points during the demo. Is there a
    way to export the complete demo as a flv file?

    Hi,
    I do not know if there is easier way, but I suggest you can
    collect all the demo in one file and export it to AVI or QT format
    and convert it to FLV using the Flash FLV exported that comes with
    Flash 8.
    Hope you cna find an easier way
