Anamorphic nightmares - exporting .wmv file

HI, I'm trying to export my DV Pal anamorphic 16:9 file to a .wmv file to be used in a Powerpoint Presentation. When I've exported the file through QT conversion / windows media, I can't get it to show the right proportions and with the black bars top and bottom.
Could you let me know what settings I need to choose for DV Pal to export this .wmv file?
I've also tried exporting it using compressor, but can't get it in the right proportions either. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, it works for part of the sequence but not all of it! Sighhh. In the nested sequence I'm highlighting the whole sequence and changing the aspect ratio like you say but it is only picking up part of it!
In the origingal sequence you can see the clips where it has changed it as it looks very stretched. Any idea how to get it to do the whole sequence?
I exported using .wmv and the section that was altered looks fine, so where nearly there.
Thanks for your persistence, I really appreciate it.

Exporting wmv files

Can I export out of Final cut pro 7 to make a .wmv file? IF so how...

Avoid it ...
I bought it to convert files so I could stream from our web site. NONE of their conversions .f4v, .f4v would stream. They'd do nothing except waiti until the entire file downloaded before starting.
I contacted support which is in China and they couldn't even access the files from our servers because their government is apparently blocking web IP addresses.
They did say "our program do not support the streaming play except output to the TS format."
So, I went back to using Quicktime Pro 7 which creates streaming files just fine.
Does anyone know of another commercial product that would convert video files for streaming (using Quicktime or Windows Media Player) as clients, plust lets me add watermaking to the video?
Thanks ...
Regards,
Doug

Please help. export .wmv file via QuickTime Conversion

Use FCP HD 4.5 QuickTime Conversion to export a short movie which is about 2 mintues long. I only can get exported files in 30 seconds no matter I selected default format QuickTime Moive or Windows Media. Any thing I missed?
I cleaned all markers on TimeLine, but still same
(I am using Power Mac G5 with OS X 10.4.5).
thanks

It means your material is outside of 'safe' levels...luminance, chrominance or both.
Quick fix...apply Broadcast safe filter
Best fix...use Color Corrector 3-way.
You should also post a new thread with a new topic.

Trying to Export an .MOV file to a .WMV file

I am trying to export an .mov file to a .wmv file using Quicktime 7.0 Pro. It exports the file fine, but it does not convert the entire file, the last part of the file is not there. The .mov file is 1 min and 16 secs long, and the exported .wmv file only comes out 29 sec long. Anyone have any ideas why it would do this? Thanks.

You can use VisualHub to convert to WMV without restrictions.
It's only available in the wild, because it's no longer supported. You can also download it on this page:
http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/embedmedia.html
Edit: To convert WMV to a h264/AAC movie without restrictions you need the Beta version of the free Flip4Mac for Snow Leopard.
It contains a bug that was later fixed. [Read my blog about it|http://translate.google.nl/translate?js=y&prev=t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyodor.net%2Fblog%2Farchives %2F10-01-200910-31-2009.html&sl=nl&tl=en] (Google translation, so smile) where you can download the Beta. Simply Install it and be happy.

Audio Speeds Up With WMV Files

I am a college student in a film production class. Our school computers have Premiere Pro on Macs and I have Premiere Elements on a PC.
For the last couple projects I have been editing in Premiere Elements on my PC and saving them as WMV files, and am using Premiere Pro to convert the files to MOV or MP4 because that is the required format for our assignments. But I have been having a problem.
When I take the fully exported WMV files from Premiere Elements and put it into Premiere Pro and try to move it to the timeline to edit it says that the clip doesn't match the sequence's setting. When I tell it to keep the settings it speeds up only the audio while keeping the video at the same speed. When I tell it to change the settings it speeds up the audio and also stretches out the video.
I do not know if this is the case for all WMV files, but it has been a problem with the ones that I have edited in Premiere Elements. The Macs at my school have no problem reading the original WMV files in the full quality I shot them in, it is only when I import them into Premiere Pro that I have the problem.
Any suggestions to how I could fix this problem would be really helpful!
Thank you!

I'm going to be doing that from now on. My college is a little bit of a drive, so editing on Premiere Elements saves gas because I was editing at home. But yeah, thanks for the advice.

How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014

How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014?

As far as I know, you don't... those are Windows formats that are not available on a Mac
Nonsense.
Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

Exporting movies to wmv files

Trying to export short movies into wmv files. After I create the file through Expert Settings and choosing wmv, I open the file and it is only 30 seconds long. The original file in iMovie is 3 minutes long. I have tried other movies and even saved them as MOV's and they all are only 30 seconds after exporting as well. Is there a setting that I am not seeing that is defaulting to 30 seconds for the length? How do I change it so the exported movie is as long as the original in iMovie? Thanks!!

I purchsed the Studio version and it works fine now. Thanks for the help. One issue I do see is that I can't change the size of the movies while exporting as WMV files. Before I upgraded I was able to choose the size of the movie I wanted to export, now that is all greyed out. Is there a reason for that?

Exporting iMovie6 to WMV file

Hello,
I have a almost 4 minute iMovie. When I try and export it to a .wmv, it only saves/compresses 30 seconds of it. I have tried using the default settings, and at least one setting under the three different category types and I get the same results. I'm trying to send this video overseas and they aren't able to open a .mov or .mg4 formats. These people are strictly old version Windows users.
My next step is to upgrade iMovie to see if the newer versions could help.
Any information or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

I found it because I already knew about the limitation.

Exporting from a MAC in FCP to a WMV file

Hi,
Having some issues with exporting a WMV file on Final Cut 5. It will only export a 30 second clip. I have been reading that I need to buy Flip4Mac or Quicktime Pro to convert a Quicktime file into a full lenth WMV file. Do I really need to purchase more software? Or is there a way to to do that in Final Cut or Compressor? I am trying to export a 720x480 WMV file from a 1280x720 file.
Thanks in advance.

I have used Media Converter for mac by iSkysoft for the past year - $50.

Problems exporting to WMV file type.

Exporting Final Cut Pro Project to .wmv file format

I am a new apple owner and I am doing some editing on FCP. I would like to export my final project to a .wmv file format.
What would you recommend?

Autodesk Cleaner's codecs haven't really been updated in a long time. At $599.00, its a lot to spend for old technology - as for their WMV encoding, they use the WMV 7 codec.
The flip4mac and Popwire programs do a much better job and are more compatible with newer versions of Windows Media Player.
Or, as David Bogie Chq-1 said, you can use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft if you have a Windows system.

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

I'm really afraid you are the only person who can answer that.
ANY compression is totally relative: what do you think is small? What do you define as high quality?
I can get a 5 minute wmv file at just under 100mb that I find acceptable for browser downloads. You might think that's too big. I don't.
Trial and error is the only way. Personally, I've set up a compressor preset to crunch my wmv files. While it's doing it's thing, I can do something else.

Export chapter marker for WMV file or print a chapter marker list?

Is there any way to ether export chapter markers to a wmv file, or to print a chapter marker list from FCP?

It's strictly a QT function, AFAICT, moving marker files from one QT app to another. Could be wrong, though, so I hope you get better advice later today.
Does WMV even support markers? I haven't seen the ability in any of my references but I haven't actually gone searching for it.

Exporting existing .wmv files using CS4

Another department at my work made a series of training .wmv files using Camtasia. Each video is 1024x 768. They want me to put them in Premiere and
output them all as one long video. Since they are .wmv that means they are alrady compressed what export settings should I choose to insure that I
don't recompress them?
Also I set the output size to be 1024 x 768 (the same size as the originals) but the rendered video comes out looking cropped.
Actually it seems more like the visible part of the video is slightly enlarged thereby making the egdes go off screen. Can anyone give me some advice
on this project?
Thanks,
Al

Unfortunately, unless you can get another Export from Camtasia, you have no choice. The WMV's will have to be uncompressed, either internally, or via a conversion program, to be edited. You will then re-compress them, for Export. That is the biggest problem when working with compressed material.
Actually, Windows Movie Maker might be your best bet, as it is designed to work with the WMV CODEC's. PrPro is not.
Good luck,
Hunt

Low quality exports as .wmv files

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4/Windows XP.
I've seen a couple other posts relating to this subject, but was wondering if someone could advise me on the best way to export to achieve a 320x240 wmv file. I'm scaling down from an avi file, edited with chroma key so I could replace the background.
I tried some of the NTSC Source export settings, but was unable to open the exported wmvs on my computer. The only setting that seems to work is the Zune Video setting, which specifically exports to the size I need. However, the quality is not very good.
Will I ever be able to achieve a wmv file that matches the quality of H264/mp4? We're using a webcast service which requires us to upload either wmv or flv videos, so are rather limited.
If anyone can recommend the best settings, I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Christine

hiya,
might as well post this here....
Bill...just did wmv export for youtube ( sample as per other thread )
to bring into focus for this post...I am putting my project settings too...basically I matched the project settings except for the audio going down to 44khz from 48... I coulda kept that at 48khz...
IF THIS was interlaced I would check the box that says " allow interleaving "...
IF THIS was interlaced that I want to export progressive I would check "deinterlace" and NOT have allow interleaving" checked....also I would make the progressive dimensions roughly HALF of the interleaved size...cause you lose half the vertical resolution going from interleaved to progressive.
In my sample for youtube I really crank up the bitrate... seems to work well....as it gets converted by youtube...
added some youtube screens also, reference how to upload the video to that place...for Bill ----
NOTE: The settings put you into a custom mode...where you are choosing all your settings..not a preset ...
