After FCX export, video of stills are choppy on YouTube

I have a series of videos that I have uploaded to YouTube, they are made up of entirely high-resolution images (which have been shrunk a bit in Photoshop). The images are mostly panned throughout the video, and appear a bit choppy at times on YouTube, obviously varying from what I am seeing in FCX.
I have tried pretty much all the types of exports, and have even tried re-exporting the video through Photoshop (it has more export options that FCX?) This obviously degrades the images a bit, but still results in some lag in YouTube video.
What am I missing / what is the optimal way to export videos of just still images?
Being that the photos are of such high quality, I'm trying to keep them as clear and smooth moving as possible.
Thanks!

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand. You mean varies when played from YT site…or played from files located on a computer?
YouTube recompresses your video – as does Vimeo, et al. You gave them a video formatted file – not stills. So the question I have is how well did FCP treat your PNGs when it encoded to that video format. Which is why I was asking how they played in QT from the file stored on your computer.
Here is an article on compressing for YT that you may find helpful.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC Tv app on my apple tv take a long time to download my videos and they are choppy, how can I resolve this issue? My apple TV is running off of WiFi in my apartment.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC TV along with other apple TV apps, take a very long time to download the video and they are choppy when running. My apple TV runs off of WiFi in my apartment. When trying to download updates, it take a long time and then a video screen with "This Update was not Successful. Apple TV couldn't be downloaded at this time. Try again later." What can I do to resolve this issue? I purchased this apple TV in May 2013 new.

That will be an issue with the network
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general -network)
Since you are in an apartment the local wifi network is more prone to interference, try ethernet

HELP! CS3 blank green screen after render. with video not stills

hey. it seems that i have the same problem that other users have found when they have lots of still photos in a timeline and that is once you render they are just replaced with a blank green screen. however i dont have any stills in my timeline and it happens to every project that i open. once i alter a clip whether it be a transition, effect or change in speed and then render it all i get is a green screen. i am pretty sure i have some kind of spyware virus on my computer but would this be able to affect premiere pro cs3 like this? i have tried all the tips given to people that have the problem with stills such as changing the opacity and increasing my computers virtual memory but none of this seems to be helping me. i really hope someone has a solution as i have about a years worth of footage stockpiled that i was just about to start editing but cannot do so. thanks alot.

Choppy Export Video - Export Settings, Sequence Settings, Capture Settings

Hi all,
New to this forum and new to Final Cut Pro. Please forgive me if I ask bonehead questions... Please humor me and help me solve my problem.
First off... Equipment
CPU:
12" Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz
~1.25 Gig RAM
Camera:
Canon GL2
Problem:
When exporting video, it comes out choppy... as in three to seven frames per 45 seconds of video. The quality of the images is also poor, with horizontal lines where there is movement of the subject. The audio turns out just fine.
What I am doing now:
Capture:
MiniDV through FireWire - DV NTsc 48 khz
The footage looks good while editing... smooth
Exporting:
I have tried quite a few different settings using the Quicktime Conversion.
Ultimately, I would like to export video for the following uses:
-Full-Size .mov Files burned to DVDs to play in Quicktime (also .avi)
-DVD quality for putting together DVDs that will play on a DVD player
-Web upload
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help...
-JBH

Not 'bonehead' but certainly basic stuff...
Full size to put on data DVD:
Two options (one of which is NOT avi): File - Export - QTMovie - Current Settings - Selfcontained. This is the highest resolution you can export of your cut film. However, it will be a HUGE file size and you will only be able to fit a limited number of minutes on a 4.x gig dvd disc. Second option is to File - Export - QTConversion... Choose the highest quality from the dropdown menu and hit export. This will end up smaller... but will indeed have a 'quality' loss due to compression. Do take them OFF the disc when playing on a computer as they will choke during playback from the disc itself.
Export for DVD Player to TV (and DVD Player on Computers):
File - Export - QT Movie - Current Settings - not selfcontained. Take THAT file to COMPRESSOR and use the export presets for your length of movie. I like the 90 minute high quality 2 pass version for anything 90 minutes or less - I stay away from the 60 minute one. Do make sure you export the ac3 audio too. This will give you two files that you need to take to DVDSP to put together and build a DVD with. (else you can take the exported file before compressor and drop it into iDVD if you want). The quality will STILL be compressed, but is what it is for 'dvd quality' on a mac.
Web Upload:
File - Export - QT Conversion... pulldown to Broadband High. I like that setting as is, but if I'm working with anamorphic material I'll need to hit the OPTIONS button and change the size (480x270).
Looks like this and is 3-5 megs per minute: http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ThreeBoysMovies/Entries/2006/7/20_Entry1.html
Good luck,

My stills are all over the place when I export them. How can I have them play as they appear on the Viewer?

Hello everyone.
When I exported my video (all stills), the images are all over the place. I had adjusted the postition (X & Y) for each one, and when I exported the video, the stills are not staying in one place, but are coming from different angles and different positions. How can I fix it so that when exported, it plays as it does on my Viewer?
Thank you!

First, I'd try deleting all render files in both the associated Events and Projects (File menu). Do not render before exporting.
"Preference Manager" is a free download from Digital Rebellion (dot com) you can delete the FCP X pref files quickly, easily, safely. Try that next.

IOS7 Bugs? Can't export videos to youtube?

I've encountered a bunch of bugs so far. I thought iOS 7.0.2 would help it, but it's only made them worse! I have an iPhone 4S btw.
Bugs:
- Music controls don't always work when my phone is locked. This includes the music controls in the control center. I couldn't change songs, pause the song that was playing, etc...
- My screen blacks out when I slide to unlock my phone.
- I can't export videos in my camera roll to youtube. It keeps telling me my password or username are incorrect, but they aren't. I was hoping 7.0.2 would fix this.
- Emails aren't always updating. I've only seen this once or twice since I updated to 7.0.2, but in 7.0.0, they were working fine. I had that problem in iOS 6.1.3, but once I updated to 7, it seemed to be fixed. I've also noticed that the number of unread emails isn't always updating. I have to update it myself.
- Bluetooth keeps randomly turning itself on. I don't know why or how it's doing this, but I know I'm not turning it on.
- I noticed a problem with my brightness settings. I changed them (lowered it), and noticed it kept lowering itself even more. I kept changing it to where I want it, and it seems to be okay now.
- Siri keeps telling me she "Can't take any requests right now." I've got 3-4 bars, and my wifi signal is at max. I've also noticed that she takes 2-3x longer to respond to one of my requests. She doesn't pick up my voice as well as she did in 6.1.3.
- And is it just me, but my volume is way too low? That, or it's too high. The same goes for my alarms -- I can never hear them, no matter how high my ringer volume is.
I've been able to resolve some of these by restarting my phone, but I don't know if they'll come back or not... However, the youtube bug (and the Siri problem) are still there.

Hi there,
I had the same Problem with uploading youtube Videos from the Photos app until I tried the function for app specific passwords.
This is something Google offers for applications which don't support the 2way authentification.
I generated a new password for my ios7 youtube uploader and it instantly worked.
This should bring you to the correct page in your google account.

Premiere Pro CC Export issue on still images

Premiere CC latest version 2014.
Hey guys. So I've recently had some serious problems on a couple of projects where I have exported videos with stills (jpegs) in the timeline, and they flicker or have dark lines running through when exported to h264 files - but only on the still images. It is not interlace issues. The exports have odd dark lines flickering over that portion of the export file. The video elements in the timeline seem to export fine though. It has happened on both my main desktop PC on a large complicated edit and on my VAIO laptop on another separate projects that was a very simple talking head with JPEG overlays. So I don't think its an isolated issue in a particular project or on a particular graphics card. Is this a bug in Premiere?
This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
Any suggestions?

Hi James,
This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
Any suggestions?
Sorry about that. Did you apply any effects? If so, what were they and with which combinations? Did you apply effects to clips or to adjustment layers?
Thanks,
Kevin

Lagging pixels on video while editing and after render-export. -How do I fix this? the original media is Crystal clear.

Hello guys,
I am trying to edit some gameplay footage I captured using "AverMedia Game Capture HD", but whenever I import the media (at 1080i),
There are pixels that hang on the video player, mostly when the camera is turning left to right,
and on occasion, some random color blurs that bloom out of nowhere.
I attached a image so you can see what it looks like:
Here is what the video looks like after it is rendered and exported.
Along with the visual pixels, it also displays horizontal lines. (possibly due to my export settings, I was in a hurry just to test it)
Both the capture device and final cut pro x are upgraded to the latest firmware/updates.
I am using HD AC Component cables (blue green red) both for in and out connections between ps3 - cap device - tv.
The capture device automatically records files to mpeg-4.
The resolution of the tv, and recorded footage is in 1080i (1920 × 1080) and the quality looks great when I play it through quick time or any other media players:
Any tips or info? I have been using Final Cut pro x since it was released. I am not a professional but I have used it for some very important jobs thorugout the year, but I am really stumped with this.
Overview:
-Media info
File Type: mpeg-4
Codec: H.264, AAC
Dimensions: 1080i (1920 × 1080)
Thankyou for the help!

Alright, lets get the good news out first:
Converting the file definitely fixed the pixel issues.
However, there where frequent "blips" of some frames that disturbed the video.
Also, the converter created a 5GB file that was originally around 300MB!!
It put a serious load on importing, rendering and transcode analysis, however the video played back smoothly, it would be perfect despite the large file size and frequent frame glitches.
This is all due to my lack of knowledge in video property conversion.
At this point, I feel that I am asking for too much, but I am really stumped...
I can try so many possibilities, but this would save me allot of time if I could get the help:
What converter settings should choose to have the optimal video file that,
plays back smoothly,
plays In HD,
is compatible with fcp,
and can still stay moderately low on file size?
Here is the current info on the RAW video file:
Here are the previous settings I used to convert:
(slight improvemnt, but extremely high file size, and still has some frame glitches)
What should I have (not?) done with these options?
(I admit I chose these settings and had no Idea what the heck I was doing)
Again, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
EDIT:
For reference, This is the new glitch issue I see:
Here is the normal frame,
Here is the next frame when a glitch apears.
It seems to be replying a previous frame in the video.
Also, the horozontal lines do not show during live playback, only when the play head is paused, or when scrubbing.

Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

I'm having a problem here! Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook! Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy! Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy! There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3! I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3. I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3.

I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

What are the best settings to export video for Blip.tv?

I have CS5.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Their suggestions are anything but helpful for Adobe:
http://support.blip.tv/entries/344530-how-should-i-export-my-videos-fo r-blip-tv
Thing is, I had Premiere Elements 8 and 10, which both had no issues with making and uploading MPGs, but Pro's settings are... well, I'd call them "messed up". Part of the issue might be that Elements and Pro ands unforgiveably disimilar in too many aspects (I'd argue 8 was functionally better than 10). Why are settings seemingly unavailable, or completely different? I wasted an entire day, rendering the same video in different formats, because Pro didn;t have the same available settings as I could with Elements 10.
Regardless of my complaints. The question is still this: What settings should I use for esporting videos to Blip.tv? The answer never really gets answered over there, but I am asking there too.
Ultimately, I'm sending MP4 videos, and they are absolutely fine on my computer, but are squished over there. So if anyone else has any more experience with Blip.tv, maybe they can answer it. They don;t seem to like Adobe/PC software much to care to give settings.

After updating to PP CC 7.2.1 exported video badly scrambled

I have had no issue exporting a 7 minute film using the Vimeo 1080 codec on PP CC Version 7.0.
I recently updated to the latest, 7.2.1.   I then exported the same exact timeilne, using the same exact Vimeo Codec. After serveral attempts, the last 3 minutes of the exported video are badly scrambled. No audio issue, just video.
I then tried media exporting * Only the troublesome spot from minute 6 to minute 7.   This clip exported perfectly.   This problem only seems to happen when I media export the full 7 minute sequence.
Please find attached images for reference.

Hi Mark,
I'd be glad to provide you with my settings but I think the main issue here is that I had no encoding problems whatsoever with the exact same timeline and encoding settings in version 7.    I literally just updated via Creative Cloud and re-opened my existing project.
In any case, please find screengrab for my settings.   I use the Arri timeline as indidcated by tech support back in version CS5.5 and moving forward. I have also tried the DSLR sequence; same result
Checking max render and previews on/off makes no difference.
The film is scrambled consistently from frame # 8112 to the end of the film.   I tried encoding on two different computers; same result.
If there was an issue with my settings or clips, I would not have gotten great results with the 7.0 encoder.

Still image pixel aspect ratio wrong in exported video (but correct in Premiere renders)

I've saved a targa still image from my footage and added it to the bin. It's properties show as follows:
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
This correctly matches my sequence settings as I'm working with 1080p widescreen footage.
The image appears as expected in the Program window both before and after rendering previews. However, once I export my sequence as a video file, the still image is squashed (displaying incorrectly):
A work around would be to stretch out the still to a width of 1920 in Premiere so that the export displays it back at its normal aspect ratio - which works - but I don't understand why I should have to do this.
The other solution I found was to go to the bin and 'Modify > Interpret Footage' and although "Use Pixel Aspect Ratio from File" already shows the correct settings, to actively reset it (to the same pixel aspect ratio) with the 'Conform to' option:
This works too.
Surely a bug?
(using Premiere Pro CC)

Thanks for the quick reply. But then why does the still's properties (in my bin) show the pixel aspect ratio as 1.3333 (not square pixels, 1.0) and should it not appear incorrectly in both the preview renders and the exported video ? This seems inconsitent to me.

Exported Videos as JPEG iPhoto - Still playing

Hello,
I recently exported thousands of files/videos from iPhoto onto an external hard drive. After doing some research I realise I must have exported these from iPhoto as JPEG and not "Original". My videos are now not playing.
I then re-imported them into iPhoto and they are playing through iPhoto, however I can't export them as anything else now?? I have no backups of the orginal video files..
I can create a slide show using the videos however there are HUNDREDS and it's taken me 20 minutes to just do two.
Is there a program or something I can use that can easily fix this problem? I've searched and searched and I can't find any information!
My laptop is a macbook pro running 10.7.5
Any help would be really appreciated!

What happens when you drag the movie's thumbnail from the iPhoto window to the Desktop? Do you get a playable movie file?
Give this a try:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
3 - try exploring again.
