AME CS4 darkens h.264 video files after export

Finding something really weird happening.  Whenever I am exporting a file through AME into a quicktime movie file, h.264, the final product is darkened, almost like there is a grey filter in front of it.  I can't find any setting that might be doing this, and can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Help?  Please?

QuickTime has a 'bug' with gamma.  Best to avoid it entirely and just use the normal MP4 container.

    As Rick says, you can get even better results for many videos (though at the expense of longer processing time) using the new Detail-Preserving Upscale effect added in After Effects CC (12.1):

  • Mp3 audio channel problems in h.264 video file

    I'm trying to encode an mp4/h.264 video file with an mp3 audio channel.  I'm tried encoding it with both Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg (using libmp3lame).  I'm streaming the video files using ffmpeg to stream the file through Red5 as a live stream.  When the Flex AIR clients play the stream (using the Spark VideoDisplay component), I hear a frequent sort of chirping sounding audio artifact.  I've also tried playing these files directly from my harddrive in a simple AIR app using NetStream and the Video component.  When I try this I don't hear any audio at all.  In both tests if I use an FLV (On2 VP6) file with an mp3 channel it sounds fine.  Unfortunately I need to use h.264 video.
    I've tried using AAC audio but am having a different issue with that:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4096536
    Any ideas why I am seeing this audio artifact problem and how to resolve it?

    Most h.264 should work.
    Have you tried FILE/IMPORT MOVIE and then navigate to the h.264 file?
    If that does not work, but the h.264 will play in QuickTIme PLayer, then you can get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (which is free). Drag the h.264 file into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec for Compressions. You can use this file in iMovie by clicking FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

  • Help Needed : Video Glitch after exporting from Premiere Pro CC

    Hi all ,
                I have been experiencing this issue for sometime now. I occasionally encounter a video glitch after exporting a video from Premiere Pro CS6 or CC. Sometimes it happens in my NLE timeline , which I have to remove the affected clip that has the glitch/flicker problem from my bin and re-import the clip from my original source, which solves the problem.
                 However , the worst part is when the glitch/flicker happens when I have already exported the video when everything seems fine in the timeline of Premiere . My sequence settings do match with the clip . This issue happens intermittently as I always have to hope for the best when the video exports.
    Here is an Example of what I mean, the glitch/flicker happens at 3:28 of the music video.
                 Hopefully those who have the same issue can share how to troubleshoot this problem . Thank you.
    Regards,

  • Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

    Hi there,
    I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
    The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
    After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
    Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
    i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
    Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
    Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
    Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help

    Rod,
    Thanks for your quick response on this.
    Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
    Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
    For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
    This is weird
    I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
    Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to make a timelapse with 900 pictures converted into 30 fps to get a 30 seconds video but after exporting my movie why is my video length 15 minutes?

    So, I downloaded a slideshow templates and I'm trying to make a timelapse with 900 pictures converted into 30 fps to get a 30 seconds video but after exporting my movie why is my video length 15 minutes?

    What settings are you using to export the video with?  I think 29.97fps is the only one that works with LR 5:

  • Unable to Sync Video files after Itunes 9.0.3 and iPhone software update

    This is my problem with Itunes- After I the Software Update program installed iTunes 9.0.3 yesterday, and I upgraded the iPhone software (to 3.1.3.) shortly thereafter. The iPhone upgrade failed (it froze). When I restarted the computer, I had to restore the iPhone and then I synced. I could not sync my video files.
    The apps, music and "push" items sync perfectly. However, it ignores the Movies, Podcasts and iTunes U files.
    In terms of the location for these files, all of my Library and Media files are contained in a firewire external drive. They have been there since I started up with iTunes many years ago. All worked well before the Install/Upgrade.
    Problem is- iTunes ignores the pointer in Preferences/Advanced/Location and creates an empty folder, named iTunes in the Music library (in my Home directory) at every sync (even if I delete it, it recreates it on the new sync).
    Question-Why does iTunes ignore the pointer, and create a new empty folder in Home?
    Thanks for your help.

    Apparently Apple doesn't bother to test their software updates. This problem was introduced last September and has persisted through a number of updates that were supposed to address the bug. Very discouraging. I keeping holding out hope that an iTunes update will eventually fix this feature that worked fine for years before iTunes 9 was introduced.
    Unfortunately, it is impractical to go back to an earlier version of iTunes.
    I have reported this bugs several times (via iTunes feedback). If Apple actually reads the feedback, they never respond.
    It's not like there are other vendors or unknowns involved: current iMac 24, new iPod Touch, the latest version of iTunes and iPod OS.
    So what do we have to do to get Apple's attention? Stop buying music? Stop buying Apple devices? I'd love to buy the new iPad, but I'm darned if I will if they are unable or unwilling to fix this bug...

  • How to split H.264 video file then playback with FlashPlayer

    Hi all,
    I want to develope a Flash or Flex application that can stream a video file in H.264 codec.
    It's easy to do this with FMS, but it becomes difficult with my budget
    I have an idea to do the streaming (not really streamming ) via HTTP.
    My idea is: Split the large H.264 file into small pieces.
    The client can download the small files then play back in order. (MyVideo1, MyVideo2.dat.....MyVideoM.dat)
    The client first will download the metadata in XML format.
    The client is able to play/jumb to the middle stream, the client will start download from MyVideoM.dat...(1<=M<=N)
    My question is: How can i split my large Video file in H.264 codec in to smaller pieces (MyVideoN.dat) that flash player can play.
    Which is the minimum metada that i have to put into my small file so that FlashPlayer can understand my video files?
    Am i able to simply split the video file at serverside, then Client will inject the metadata into the downloaded small DAT files using Flash??
    Thanks for your support

    Is there anyone out there can help me???

  • Editing a .mov / H.264 video file in Final Cut Express 4

    I'm running FCE 4.0.1.
    I was given a video file that is an interview with my father. The file has an extension of .mov, and it also has H.264 in the filename. The file contains a single uninterrupted interview that is over 2 hours long. There is lots of deadtime in the interview, and the interviewer was not mic'd, so you can barely hear the questions that are being asked. I want to use FCE4 to delete the deadtime and boost the audio whenever the interviewer speaks. I can "open" the file in FCE4 and view the contents in the viewer, but when I create a sequence and try to replay it, the canvas contains a big blue screen that says "unrendered."
    I tried to research this issue on the forums before posting this topic, but I think I'm more confused now than when I started. Do I need to convert the .mov file to a DV format? Something else? Can I do the conversion in QuickTime?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    jm

    What's the frame resolution of the media? What's the frame rate? You can use MPEG Streamclip or the QuickTime Pro player to convert.
    Curious where this came from and how it go to be QuickTime in H.264. This isn't the original. It would be better to go back to that if you can.

  • Problem with some video files after upgrading to iPhoto'11 ...

    Hi,
    I just realized that after converting from iPhoto'09 to iPhoto'11, I found 176 small video files that don't play anymore.  All problem files, can be found in iPhoto with a «.MOV» search.  When played I get this error message (it's in French :
    The problem is that I cannot find any file nested in my iPhoto Library corresponding to the iPhoto's info (name or size).  I get no corresponding file.  Also most of these «.MOV» files seem to have another file that plays and that is bigger.  It could be the original file or maybe my real file ...    As an example, one «.MOV» file is named MVI_6480Web and the original that works is named MVI_6480.  Not all problem files as the Web suffixe though.
    I did not pass all those 176 files one by one, so I am not sure what is the exact problem.  I wonder if some of you can help me understand what is going on ?
    Regards.

    you bought an upgrade to a separate application. i'm sure the iLife'11 manuals don't state a guarantee of compatibility with any appletv?
    i'm not saying this is definitely the cause, but in the past there has usually been a requirement for an update when new iLife products were released.
    Is it so unlikely to have an upgrade of ATV 1stG ?
    the original appletv has been replaced and as such i doubt there will be any more software updates at all.

  • Can't open a video file after Final cut export

    Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
    I've FCP 7 on Lion.
    I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
    I've got a .MOV file.
    After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
    End of the story.
    Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
    There is only a STOP button.
    If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
    The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
    (I'm translating the message from my french system)
    So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
    But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
    It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
    Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
    Any cue ?
    Thanks !
    Jean do

    Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
    I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

  • Unable to access external video file after publishing in html5

    I am trying to publish a project that contains links to external files (.mp4 videos). After publishing, I get an path error message when I try to run the videos after publishing. The references to the videos are by name without any paths specified.
    When I published the file the videos reside in the same folder as the captivate project file.
    The instructions say copy the files to the output folder after I publish as html5.
    What I did was extract the zip folder
    Place the videos in the parent folder after extraction.
    Ran the project. It runs except for the video execution.
    There are a number of folders when the zip file is extracted.
    Am I placing the videos in the right folder?

    I personally prefer to get my files up on the server and link directly to them in Captivate.
    Are you putting your's in the root folder of your project? eg. /projectname/... instead of/projectname/callees/ ?

  • Can't see some video files after update

    After my AppleTV updated recently, I cannot access about half of my video files from my iTunes movie library (streaming from my desktop). They used to be accessible on the previous version before the update, and they played on my AppleTV just fine. Now, when I go to "Movies," they don't even show up, though some of the video files do.
    How can I get these files to even show up on the latest software version of AppleTV?
    Thanks!

    Do you have the "show only the synched items" box checked? It's on the summary page when you have Apple TV selected under devices in iTunes. I had this problem and it took me a while to see it...now if my Apple TV would just stay connected to iTunes......or if someone could help me downgrade to 2.0 I'd be golden.
