How to convert a movie from iMovie to avi?

Hello all
I would like to convert a movie from iMovie to avi, what i should do??
You have any ideas??
Thx.

AVI has been dead for many years and is the wrong container to share files.
Since you've published the file to YouTube the viewer only needs Flash Player to view it.
If you are trying to "share" the source file so the Windows user can make edits then you need to tell us more about it.
What codecs, dimensions are available to make such an "export"?

Convert a movie from Quicktime to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip

I want to convert a movie from Quicktime (.mov) which I created in Final Cut Express to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip to be able to see it on my Samsung TV. The problem is that the uncompressed movie, comverted only from Quicktome to MPEG 4, stops almost every moment on my Samsung TV. I have connected an external harddrive in NTFS there via USB 2.0 (Samsung TV cannot play movies in HFS etc.). The uncompressed movies are bigger than 4GB in Quicktime.
I got the following information from Samsung (in German):
"Sie berichten, dass Filme zum Laden stoppen, die auf Ihrem MacBook Pro flüssig laufen. Bitte beachten Sie hierbei, dass der Fernseher hinsichtlich Rechenleistung nicht mit einem Computer vergleichbar ist. Weiters verfügt der Fernseher über einen USB 2.0 Anschluss, was die übertragbare Datenmenge ebenfalls begrenzt.
Die allgemeinen Spezifikationen für Videodateien finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch ab Seite 248:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201112/20111208190112921/Web_GSDVBE UA_GER.pdf
Auf Seite 251 finden Sie für MPEG4-Videos folgende Beschränkung: Bei "mehr als 1280 x 720: max. 30 Frames".
Als Alternative schlagen wir Ihnen vor, Ihr MacBook Pro per HDMI direkt an den Fernseher anzuschließen, die Videos auf dem MacBook Pro abzuspielen und den Fernseher als Monitor zu verwenden. In diesem Fall entfallen die vorher genannten Beschränkungen."
I ask here how to use MPEG streamclip (free version; I use 1.9.2) so convert my movies into MPEG 4 so that I cann watch it on my Samsung TV.
I filled out "Bildrate" "30" but this did not work. I have chosen less quality but there are still - less - interruptions and I find it laborious to test different versions of less quality so that it might work.
I ask you also because I want to create my movies to give it to other people via the internet (f.i. via rapidshare) but I need a smaller size of my movies and do not know all the different TVs my friends have. I cannot imagine that it is not possible to create a movie in MPEG 4 that cannot be seen in many TVs via an external harddrive?

I know that I can do that also in FCE. It takes much more time to convert a movie into MPEG4 than to export it as uncompressed movie in QuickTime which I can use f.i. in iDVD to burn a DVD or watch it on my MBP.
But I don't know the versions of TVs of other people if I want to send them the movie via internet f.i. via mydrive.ch etc. which have limited space if used for free. So which settings to choose for an output in MPEG4?
For my one use it is o.k. if the movie can be seen correctly in MPEG4 on my TV but I can also watch it via my MBP on my TV via HDMI.

Is possible to Convert a 1 bit B&W Tiff image to a 16 Bit Greyscale Tiff image?

Hi there,
I am trying to convert a 1 bit Black & White Tiff image to a 16 Bit Greyscale Tiff image, Anyone out there know if it is possible and how it may be done? We are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Chris

Almost any graphic editor can do it, but it doesn't make a sense. The picture information remain the same - 1 bit. It has nothing to do with Acrobat.

How to edit 16bit TIFF image sequence file in FCP?

Dear all,
I have a number of 16 bit TIFF image sequence files (2048 x 1024 resolution) - some of them are RED footage, and others came directly from our f/x guy. We are going into a color correction session in a post house and we've been asked to provide a sequential 16 bit TIFF image sequence of the edited time line.
I need to do a cross dissolve b/w most of the clips I have. I have created image sequence QT movie (reference files) from the TIFF images. Though they play fine in QT player, when I try importing into FCP, I am met with a "general error". I tried both dragging it into QT, as well as File --> Import.
I am wondering what can I do to get these clips into FCP in order to apply the cross dissolve transitions I need. Is this a problem relating to the 16bit nature of the TIFF files?
I tried exporting the TIFF image sequence standalone QT movie, and those imported fine. However, I have a feeling that the standalone movie conversion also decrease my bit depth from 16 to 8. (When I do my final TIFF output from FCP after dissolves / transitions had been applied, each TIFF file is now 8 MB instead of 12 MB, hence my suspicion that the bit depth is adjusted).
Are there any settings I am missing, or does FCP simply don't support 16 bit image sequence reference file. As a test, I had also converted all my TIFF to jpg, and created jpeg image sequence reference file. These reference QT file can be successfully imported to FCP and I can edit them as if they are a clip.
If FCP is not able to handle these files, what are my other options? After Effects?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael
<Edited by Moderator>

As far as I know, both FCP and Color only support up to 10 bit color, which is 1024 levels for each color channel, more than enough for avoiding color banding.
If you need 16 bit for sure, I believe AE will support 16 bit output. Another 16 bit application would be the extended version of Photoshop, which has some limited time line capability.

File Out Tiff Image Sequence

Hello! Can anyone recommend/explain the correct settings in the File Out node to output a TIFF Image Sequence?
Thanks!

Wow, I just figured out the Shake problem. First off you are right, my "black background" is an alpha mask. But why is it there?!? It is a "bug" in Shake:
FileOut - Quicktime Movie - Animation - Options - Compression Settings - "MillionsofColors" - Okay
Now, when I reopen the FileOut node to double check my Compression Settings, it has defaulted BACK to "MillionsofColors+" So yeah, "MillionsofColors" should result in an alpha-free export BUT SHAKE WILL NOT RETAIN A SELECTION OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN "MillionsofColors+" I tried setting it to "Black and White," "ThousandsofColors" - same issue - the export still has an alpha because Shake took the Compression Setting back to "MillionsofColors+"
So thanks for all your help on this, I'm glad your system is not operating with this quirk.
I'm pretty sure I hate Shake.

Is the tiff image sequence in premiere pro cs4 lossless?

is the tiff image sequence export in premiere pro cs4 lossless or lossy?

Hi,
Yeah, that IS an interesting question...When I looked into the quality exported individual frames I stuck it into photoshop and looked at the mode and image size to see what I was getting ...
I was kinda ( am still very ) impressed with the quality of the individual images Premiere exports in it's sequences.. and I suppose you could say it is lossless but in part that would be referenced to , " Lossless compared to what ? "
If I put TIFF images into the timeline to begin with and then got them out again, then it would probably be lossy depending on ppi going in. It's like 72 coming out.
But anyway, the quality is pretty darn good, I have to say...when you export TIFs...

How do you convert a movie from .mov to .jpeg or a format compatible with non iOS computers?

I created a movie on iMovie that I would like to share with family members through a flash drive. The problem is is that they don't have iOS computers. How do I convert my movie in iMovie from .mov to a file compatible with other computers? Thank you

Yes, normally the whole point of making it an XFA is so you can type in it. You must use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill it.
What happens when you try?

Converting quicktime .mov files into iso disc image

Hi there,
I need help converting quicktime .mov files into an iso disc image. i have a large-scale dvd burner that converts these iso files into DVDs.
Any idea what software i'd use to do this?
I've looked at "burn" and one or two others, and they seem to go "straight" to dvd.
I don't need "movie theater" quality, but something useable. I'm also new to the mac and this may be very apparent, and I just don't realize it b/c i'm new.
thanks in advance, craig

Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
3. Open as an image sequence.
4. Open Subfolder 2.
5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
6. Open as an image sequence.
...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
Am I asking the impossible?
Thanks!

I'll look around there, because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net
then this is the image here:
is the result I received. Granted I'm new to using scripts and actions for image processing large amounts of files.

How to Render a TIFF image sequence with After Effects or Premiere

So I shot a timelapse in RAW using my D5200. Developed the images, imported into after effects to make a composition at 1080p 24fps, the clip is 15 seconds long. Then I rendered the clips a few ways and none of them are what I want:
I used the H.264 first, its just pixelated and blocky, doesn't retain a smooth resolution. H.264 output an MP4 that was 6.5 MB.
Then I tried lossless and it output an AVI which is awesome resolution but the file is 2 gigs! Not even VLC media player will play it smoothly without buffering.
Last I tried H.264 BluRay which output an M4V file which is 45 MB and I can't get it to play.
So now I'm here asking you all what the way to go is. When I download films, I will aim for a 1-2 gig 720p or 1080p file on roughly 2hr films. The resolution is great, the audio is great and the file like I said is only 1.5gigs average. So what are the rendering settings I should be using to get a file like this? Should I be importing it into Premiere Pro first or what?
-Thanks
Bruno
For Reference, here was my workflow:
I generally followed an Adorama Rich Harrington Time-Lapse youtube video on workflow which was:
Developed the Raw files in Camera Raw
Used the Image Processor to create the Tif files
Imported into After Effects as a TIF sequence
Interpreted the sequence as 24fps
Changed the Composition settings to 1080p 24fps
Then did the rendering as detailed above

1. You don't need to export your TIFF sequence so as to import it into After Effects, you can import RAW image sequence into After Effects directly. Camera RAW will start automatically on importing. What is more, you will be able to change your Camera RAW settings at any time you want inside your AE project: in Project panel select your RAW image sequence, right-click, choose Interpret Footage -> Main... In the dialog box click More Options... button (at bottom left), and Camera RAW opens.
2. Do NOT export to H.264 out of After Effects directly. If you need to export your composition to H.264, export it out of Adobe Media Encoder. Start from HDTV preset. If your goal is to upload your media file on e.g. YouTube, done. If you want to play it back on your computer, but your mediaplayer can't playback it in real time, start to decrease bitrate settings. Keep in mind that modern AVCHD cameras shoot with 28 Mbps, first AVCHD camcorders were shooting with 17 Mbps, YouTube preset in Adobe Media Encoder sets bitrate to 10 Mbps, Vimeo preset - to 8 Mbps.
Choose VBR, 2 Pass so as to benefit from better quality out of smaller file size.
See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Colour Processing and benefits of Render at Maximum Depth option.
3. If you're planning to use your After Effects composition in Premiere Pro project, you can use Adobe Dynamic Link. If your After Effects composition is quite complex, render a Digital Intermediate out of After Effects and import it into Premiere Pro. See this discissuon in AE Forum on some production codecs comparison.
P.S. See also this FAQ: What are the best export settings? entry.

Help with TIFF image sequence frame rate?

I'm working on an animation sequence, its a 24p project. Whenever I import an image sequence, Premiere automatically interprets this at 29.97 (though, per the help files, it should automatically interpret at the project frame rate, but it's not). In the project panel, I use interpret footage so that it interprets at 24p. However, when I bring this image sequence into the timeline it shows at the right duration, but the end of the sequence is cut off (essentially, premiere is still reading in at 30p, but gives it the duration of 24p).
CS4 is the first version I've had this problem with.. usually, I just bring in the image sequence and it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem as my workflow is to import R3D into AE CC and render it into Tiff sequence. At first I had changed every setting to 24, and it rendered out choppy and clipped off a few frames in the end.
Now I have tried this
Once you import Tiff, right click> Interpret Footage > Main
Then you will see black box. In this column box, there is Frame Rate column, then tick Assume this frame rate: 24 frames per second.
You have to type in 24 yourself, then it works out fine.
My guess is that Tiff is sequence image, and it DOES NOT have frame rate. So you have to tell AE to assume the imported image sequence's frame rate. Otherwise it always assumes 30 by default.
Hope it works.

Trying to convert my movie from Imovie to a high quality Itunes file and the program keeps crashing! This is an xmas gift for my mom ! Please help

Help! I made a 10 min movie for my mom for Christmas. Whenever I try to "share" it to make a cd of it the program keeps crashing! I HAVE to get this in the mail by friday! Please help

iTunes will not directly convert a protected AAC song. It also cannot convert some songs that are corrupted or have bad ID3 tags.
If it constantly fails at the same song, try eliminating that song from the list.
I have also found out that converting 400+ songs at a time can cause a fatal crash within iTunes. I usually stick to 200-250 songs at a time.
Post back with more details if it still happens.

Question about getting rented movie from Macbook to Tv

I rented a movie on my MB yesterday while on the road, today I decided to watch the end of the movie on my tv at home.
TV:
setting>computer>add shared itunes Lib>Entered the code on my MB
My MB itunes is showing on TV but can't find the rented movie??/
Clicked on TV in itunes, I get only 2 tabs, Summary and Photos. Under Summary I am missing Automatic Sync or Custom Sync and no Rented Movie frame. No option to choose what movie, music, podcast etc.. I want to sync . Looks completely different that what I obtain on my G5????
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yep - only one at a time. You can stream from more than one though. I have a primary Library that I use for syncing (I only sync photos and all the other content shows up automatically under "My Music, My Movies etc").

No Audio when converting a movie from iphoto into iweb.

Hi there,
I have a Sony Camera W17 which takes stills and short movies. I often grab little bit so film of the kids.
Today it was my daugthers birthday so I am in a hurry to get stuff up on my web page as we have moved to the opposite side of the world to our family.
So heres the problem. When I import the stills and movie I use iphoto and I can see all in there (although the duplicate option is crap for movies).
Now if I import them from the camera into imovie or copy across from iphoto I lose my sound. I really want to use the compressing function in imovie so I can add to my web page via iweb. The problem is that I lose the sound so I resort to copying the file in iphoto and taking it straight to iweb. These files are too large for most people to view.
Has anyone gots any tips as to how I get around this? What is causing the sound to get lost yet I can hear it in iphoto. I read somewhere that says its to do with the file type but I am not sure.
Thanks for your help.
Poppetbed.

Are you losing the sound on the movies or the stills?
Can not hear audio in iMovie when I import an MPEG clip
