When exporting a 16:9 project using Qk Conversion, it says file is too big?

I just bought FCE HD, but I have been using regular express since early 2004. I want to send my 16:9 widescreen standard def. video from FCE HD to iMovie HD. The only way for iMovie to accept a widescreen video without pillarboxing it is through a DV stream file. I have done this numerous times with the older version without a problem, but now when I export my hour long video, in the middle of exporting using quicktime conversion, it says to file is too big. I have over 100 GB left of harddrive space, so why does it says it's too big? I have used the new Title program that came with the HD upgrade which offers HD text. On my DV-Widescreen NTSC project, I used HD text graphics and rendered them and they played fine, but when I try to export the text with the video, it fails. Could the HD graphics be the culprit, or is it something else entirely?

Yes. When I am trying to export the entire hour-long project using quicktime conversion, it says: error- file is too big, right in the middle of exporting. I am working off an external harddrive using firewire, this is so I have plenty of space for my videos. When I make my titles with the new title program that came with FCE HD, I switch the format of the text format, under project preferences, to HDTV 1080i 16:9. I do this not because my project is HD, WHICH MY PROJECT IS NOT HD, but because it offers a widescreen ratio for my titles. I can use the entire frame for my graphics and titles, etc. I save each and every file into a folder and load them into final cut when I am in final cut. It just has to render them as I go. I DO NOT save each file as a movie. When exporting, I export under quicktime conversion- DV Stream- DV, 16:9 interlaced, and I don't mess with the audio setting. The WHOLE point of this is for iMovie to read my file as 16:9 so it won't pillarbox it. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A BETTER WAY FOR iMOVIE TO READ FINAL CUT HD FILES "16:9", PLEASE LET ME KNOW; if not, then what should I do about this exporting error?

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  • 5 minute FCE file is too big to export to cd

    I am in a panic. I've been up all night finishing a fce project for school submission which is due in four hours.
    When I export the project as quicktime movie the file is too large to burn to a cd. I there anything I can do to fix this? I thought it would compress as a QT movie.

    What do you mean by the file being too big?
    How big is it?
    Normally 5 minutes would be around 1GB.
    Do you mean you are actually burning it to a CD and not a DVD?
    Normally one would burn a video to DVD in iDVD and that would be compressed by iDVD to around 300MB.
    I have re-read your post and it seems you may be wanting to simply copy the QT file for transportation. Is that the case?

  • Why does my mac say the file is too big to burn on DVD when it isn't?

    I'm trying to burn a file on DVD. The file is 2.1 gigs, the DVD is supposed to be able to hold 4.7 gigs, but it keeps telling me the file is too big!
    Anticipating a question: 2.1 gigs is the actual size according to "get info", not the size of the alias on my burn disk.
    And, if this matters, I'm backing up a folder with four items inside. My Entourage "identity" folder.
    Thanks in advance!

    Repair permissions and restart your computer.  Try burning the dvd again.  If the issue still occurs use VisualHub (direct download). VisualHub will turn the video file into a dmg that you should be able to burn.   Other resources - Video Monkey and Toast.

  • Save error when exporting to PNG in Illustrator using a Macbook with Yosemite

    Anybody experience the issue of png being saved with "/" in the beginning of the file name when exporting to png in Illustrator? This only happens when I use my mac not my PC.
    Due to the save error my PC cannot identify the files and when the files are linked in Indesign they are not copied when packaging the indesign file.
    Any advice on the issue are most appreciated

    I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of problem, but the first thing I'd check is the parameter block you're passing the action call. I don't know why it would matter if the dialog appeared or not, unless the export settings block wasn't being filled in with everything it needs?
    You might try recording an export you perform manually via the action palette, and then saving it to a file. You can open it up manually and compare it (even if it's a binary block) to what you're doing in code. You might spot something that way.
    I don't know what else to suggest though. It's unlikely to be an SDK bug, though it could be a bug in the action-aware part of the exporter.

  • Can't export as a still photo using QuickTime conversion

    In FCP7 ...
    I've always been able to take one frame of a video (as a Sequence) and "Export Using QuickTime Conversion."
    When I try that today, FCP keeps locking up and crashing.
    Help!

    Sometimes my machine starts acting oddly when dealing with QT files. In my case the problem is related to when I start the computer without my firewire mixer also up and running. It is usually solved by shutting the computer down, unplugging it from the mixer and the power for 15 minutes then restarting. Unplugging the thing and letting capaciters drain seems to solve it. Your mileage may vary.
    If nothing else, running Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to delete your FCP preferences may help. It is free and can be found on DR's website.
    Please note that all your settings will be reset to defaults. Custom setups, scratch disk locations, etc will be discarded and you'll be back as though you just installed the software.
    Good luck.

  • Flash keeps 'not responding' when exporting .swf & file WAY too big

    Hello!
    I am creating an animation using ActionScript2 on Flash Professional CS5 and whenever I try to export (or even test) my animation, the progress bar comes up but the progress does not move. Then after about a second the dreaded '(not responding)' appears at the top of the window and if you click anywhere it greys out closes it.
    If I leave it it doesn't export for ages (liteally like 3-6 minutes which is long for just exporting).
    It only has 280 frames and the .fla file so far is 9.96MB! Other animations I have made have had double the frames yet 5 times smaller a file.
    I have cleaned my registry many times (I thought that might be the problem or something).
    I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! PLZ HELP!

  • Trouble exporting 320x240 from 720x480 sequence using QT conversion

    (Opps, put this on the FCP Express discussion 1st...)
    Hi,
    Everytime I try to export a 720x480 sequence from FCP with "using QT Conversion" to a 320x240 size, it exports out as 640x480. Everytime. Used to work just fine. Same thing happens using a compressor setting to 320x240 and exporting right from the QT export size setting. Anyone know what gives? I tried trashing prefs in both FCP and QT. No luck.
    Thanks!

    This is the first time I've heard of this problem so no real basis to go on. Try the QT prefs delete again and if not that, then the QT reinstall.
    To do a full quicktime reinstall.
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    Good luck.
