Animation export problem

I am using CS5 to make a simple animation to use in gif form. When I play it in CS5 it looks fine , when I open the Save for Web and Devices menu and play it there it looks ok , but when I use the Preview button in that menu it goes wrong , the images all pile up and the final image shows all the previous images. This is how it looks in the gif that I save from that menu too. Is there an obvious reason for this?
Thanks

Hi and thanks for the speedy reply . I actually want a transparent gif at
the end , sorry , should have mentioned that. I can draw a series of
transparent layers and that works ok , the problem comes when I import a
gif or movie drawn using Pencil . It may be connected with the way it
creates both Frames and Layers in the Layers palette , I'm not sure. As I
say , it looks fine playing it in CS5 , and one time I managed to correct
it but have no idea how I did it , and have not been able to repeat that.

Animation export not respecting fades

I don't have much, any really, experience with the animation codec, but was told that for things like basic motion, an animation export is what I want. So I did a custom Quicktime Movie export and selected animation. The video is crisp and clear, it looks perfect, almost. I start the short 5:15 video off with a fade in to a Boris 3D Text Highlight, but animation didn't respect that opening fade in. The titles start fully on screen, and the same goes for the end of the titles. The standard export fades the titles evenly, but animation fades the colors out of the text and leaves all tan text that's easily readable then the next frame it's gone. This happens once more at the end when a similar set of titles should fade out.
I've tried changing all sorts of field dominance, first making sure that my sequence and export are the same, then re-rendering the whole video to none as the whole thing is comprised of stills, then exported with no field dominance either, but still no luck. I would LOVE to use one of the Animation exports for the DVD, but without the fades, it looks very unprofessional. Any suggestions to try to preserve the fades, and will I even see a benefit when placing these 7-8GB files onto a regular DVD via iDVD?
Thanks so much,
-Brian

After a significant amount of testing, I've come to the conclusion that caching of some kind is definitely the problem I'm experiencing.
If I create a number of albums, creating new versions, cropping, adjusting, removing items I've decided I don't really want after all, almost every export will export garbage (wrong image content entirely, strangely stretched images that contain only part of the crop area, etc).
But... If I do the same exact thing for a couple hours, quit, restart aperture, and export them all, everything works "as expected".
I have to say I'm looking forward to the next patch/bug-fix release of Aperture....

Export problems- it's renaming my MOVs to strange things and they're huge!

Hey guys,
strange fcp export problem. I have a 10 minute anim compressed fcp project, 1920x1080, 30fps on a top-of-the-range macbook pro with external terabyte HD. I did a test export a couple of days ago, because our deadline is really soon, and that all worked fine - a 10 minute quicktime, 100% anim codec, was 26GB. That was fine. I did another test clip, just a spinning bitmap for 10 mins, from AfterEffects with similar, succesful, results and file sizes.
Now, however, when I export, it comes out as 60GB, and FCP changes the filename to something which is the first half of the filename I chose, and a strange number for the second half which is different each time I try it. Something like "filena#CF342.mov", for example. This file seems to have video in it OK, but it's 3 times the size, and the data rate is much higher, too high to play back.
The only changes I've made since my successful test are replacing many of the low res previews with hi res versions, and adding 1 minute to the end. And I changed my QMaster setup, not sure if that's anything to do with it.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm getting pretty worried.....
thanks in advance....

Thanks for the quick reply! No, don't think that's the problem. The new render doesn't have an alpha channel - it's Animation 100% Millions (not Millions+), and I don't think that would add more than 25% to the file size anyway. It also wouldn't account for the strange renaming of filenames. And the increase in length is only 10%. The file size has tripled!
The final delivery format was going to be animation, 1920x280, because it's going to projected on a 30m wide cinema screen and live TV tomorrow night but our playback solution (while it handles the test files ok) can't handle the data rate of these strange new files: it's 800mb/s, which is pretty ridiculous.
The renaming of the files suggests (to me at least) some kind of bug/error, but it doesn't report any kinda error in either fcp or quicktime.
Plan B is to recompress the strange big file using h264 which gives an ok quality and is 10% of the size. Reason I'd like to do it animation is I need to do several versions with different gamma, so I need to do further processing on the rendered file after it's dumped from FCP.
Any thoughts? I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
one thought - I didn't tick "recompress all files" and some of the source DOES have alpha - would it be taking the alpha channel even though I didn't ask for it?

Export problems in CS5

hello, I recently switched to flash cs5, I'm working on character animations, my problem is everytime I do a quicktime export, the movie generates these unwanted fragments, like it skips frames and leave's fragments of the graphics on the movie,
does anyone here knows, how I can fix this? I also have problems with the audio upon export, they don't sync, even if I had it set to stream on my workspace. - everytime I do the export it mess things up

I'm really disappointed with Flash CS5, at least when it comes to trying to export in quicktime format. I have a very simple animation I've been working on that runs about 66 seconds. Very simple and minimal animation. The swf file exports flawlessly every time. The quicktime movie NEVER exports right. In fact, it exports totally randomly in terms of what it'll screw up. A word might be missing from a speech ballon in one scene, but if I export it again without making a single change to the file, it'll be there while another word in another speech balloon is missing. Or it'll screw up a simple animation like an eye blinking. I can export the file a dozen times without making a single revision to the fla file, and I'll get a dozen completely different flawed quicktime movies, ranging in severity from one dropped word to total chaos; several dropped frames, scenes overlapping each other, botched animation and artifacts everywhere. It's a total toss of the dice every time.
I have a 3.33GHz 6-core Xeon MacPro with 24GB of RAM running OS 10.6.5. The only open app is Flash when I try to export. I have a hard time believing the system is taxed with this 66 second simple animation file. I regularly work with photoshop files that exceed 1GB and experience no hang ups with running multiple apps while doing so.
I visited the tech note that was suggested and tried all of the "solutiions" but nothing has worked. Changing to action script 3, eleminiatng audio, etc., etc. (The custom command script was a disaster.) And seriously, doesn't it raise any flags when I have to go back and use another app to add my audio back in, or change my frame rate after export? I never experienced these problems in CS3. Sadly, I can't even save the file from CS5 to CS3 format, becuase for some reason CS4 is the oldest option available to me. I've wasted HOURS simply trying to export a file that should have taking two hours tops from start to finish. The budget was out the window long ago.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what else I might try, or a recommendation of a stand alone application for Mac that can convert a swf file into quicktime or other movie formats, I'd appreciate the input.

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Export Problem in LR 3.5

Hi folks,
I have been working with LR 2.7 for a while now and was happy with it.
PC - Win XP - LR3.5
Photo's stored on external hard disk (K:)
The RAW captures of a Nikon 3100 I recently won were not being recognized/imported by LR 2.7 and I installed the 3.5 version to see if it was any better. I would have to buy it anyway by the time I switch to Win7. In 3.5 the Raw files were imported, the settings of 2.7 were nicely taken over but now and I cannot export the files I have worked on to the K: drive of the external hard drive as I used to do with 2.7.
I get the message 'The folder could not be found' though it is set in the Export Window and I am looking at it in Win Explorer.
The original RAW captures are on the D: drive but that was always the case with 2.7 as well... I am doing it exactly as I used to with 2.7.
I tried with a photo from an older folder of my usual camera and everything works fine there.
The problem seems to be only with the Nikon files. Now I start wondering if there is something with raw format of this Nikon camera that is putting LR in a twist...
Anybody any ideas to help me out?
Thanks and grts
Nil

@ web-weaver:
Of course they go to a different folder and they also get different
titels/names once processed in LR. The originals are always RAW (NEF) and I
export them as jpg or tiff files depending on what more I will do to them.
@ ssprengel:
I get the message when I have renamed the file in the export window, set
the folder it has to go to and hit export.
In the 2.7 version I got it already when I tried to import.
As I said, this only happens with the Nikon (NEF) RAW files. With the
Olympus (ORF) RAW files I have no problem at all and had no problem in LR
2.7 either.
I cannot see anything wrong in the Export panel nor in Preferences.
Plug in is Metadata Wrangler and has been updated to the latest version >
no joy...
I tried import/export with jpg files and no problem there.
Yesss! Got it! What I had overlooked was a question mark next to the folder
in Library (sooo small). A rightclick and telling LR where it was solved
the problem. Strange, though, as it has never done this before... the main
folder and the path are still the same as the ones that work perfectly with
Olympus exports... just a different subfolder named Nikon and another named
Test... Also strange that if I started off with jpg, it was no problem
either...
Anyway, thanks a lot for shaking my senses for me

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

Flash AVI Export Problem

I am trying to export a short Flash animation that uses a
snowflake effect. The animation exports fine other than the snow
does not fall in the AVI. The snow actionscript and symbol are on
seperate layers, both in the first frame of the animation.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,

nope - this won't do it - in fact no actionscript based
animation of any kind will render to
fixed-frame rate video format as of flash 8. You will need a
3rd party app like SWF2Video by

Excel export problem using craxddrt

Hi,
I'm using craxddrt v.11.5 in our intranet application to export rpt.reports to different formats. My code works well with PDF and text exports, but when it comes to Excel after the .Export(false) method executes the browser window just goes into idle then the session finally expires. I never catch any error. I have tried several export options with no prevail.
I suspect the Excel export is missing some info to complete and it is trying to prompt me, but no visible prompt gets displayed/answered so it just expires.
Could anyone help me out. I've spent several days researching and fixing the code and ran out of ideas.
Sincerely
Steve Komaromi

the results i get a odd. - the video exports fine, except for the beginning titles, instead a still frame image from somewhere else in the video occupies that intro, until the first transition- in this case- dip to white, then the rest of the video is fine. the portion of the beginning that does not show are composed of: livetype text credits in V2 - in which i have done a manual opacity fade up and down - so the livetype text fades in, over matte color solid in V1. in the exported video -i do not see any of this, all i see is a seemingly random still from somewhere else in the video. i can however hear the audio as it is supposed be.
cant figure out why this is happening. anybody know?
i think the livetype files are 1920 x 1080.
my FCP sequence is 720 p
this has only recently started happening and doesn't seem to be consistent.
im wondering if it has to do with the live type files, or the white solid?…
or the conversion settings above?

Alistair
Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

I have an exporting problem

I have an exporting problem. I tried to export a little over 2 minute video in 1080p at 29 fps. I know that this setting has worked on all of my previous videos until now. When I tried deleting the files I believed caused the problem, the error still occur. Is there any way to fix this?

rachelb
Thanks for the follow up with further details.
1. Please review the following Adobe document on Complying error for export
"Error compiling movie" during render or export
2. Please confirm error @
Encoding Menus
Encoding Media
Compiling
Actual Burn Process
3. Best to make a copy of the problem project and work from that for the troubleshooting..File Menu/Save a Copy, with different name for copy or copies.
3. Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline to get a better view of the Timeline content.
a. look for obvious flaws in the Timeline tracks content -
b. Explore for less obvious flaws
....Target the transitions...have you dealt with trimmed versus untrimmed clip where the transition is being made?
....Target the audio, looking for gaps
....Target the Timeline in general looking for debris, fragments of clips that you previously deleted
....Check Timeline menu marker placements....no stop marker after the last item on the Timeline
....Check Movie Menu customization area for overlapping buttons, presenting with red frames around the overlapping buttons
c. When you have your disc in the burner tray, what does the burn dialog Quality area show for Space Required and Bitrate.
d. What is the video compression for your .mp4? Have you set a 4:3 project for a 4:3 source or a 16:9 project for a 16:9 source?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Add On...If you are working with version 13, have you updated to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
Also, determine if it makes a difference to the outcome with or without the Intel HD Graphics 2000 and Higher preference disabled. See

Lightroom 4.1 export problem

Lightroom 4.1 will not export a deleloped image. I have the metadata to new file set to automatic and I get no error mesage. All my new exported files are the same as the original. I need a detailed discription of what boxes need to be checked or unchecked and where to find them. Something as simple as saving changes so that I might use them in another app should not be so difficult- version 2.7 worked fine so what's up with 4.1?

Still no luck... I just purchased a licence for my demo version- I was hoping not to have to do a 1.1Gb download and/or redo my my catalog- is this required?

Are you saying that LR4 is exporting over the top of your exiting images, or that it is not exporting anything?   To test whether you can export anything, try exporting to a subfolder under your originals, instead of new names in the original images folder, which I think is what you’re saying you’re attempting: On the Export panel, all the way at the top, make sure to set Export To: to Hard Drive. Set the Export Location – Export To: value to Same folder as original photo. Put a checkmark next to Export Location – Put in Subfolder Enter in “output” into the Export Location - Put in Subfolder: textbox. Uncheck the Add to this Catalog unless you really want to include the output of this experimental export in the catalog. Set Export Location - Existing Files to Ask what to do, so LR will indicate if it’s trying to overwrite the same files, again, which it should if the output subfolder is empty. Uncheck the File Naming – Rename To: so the files aren’t renamed. At the bottom change Post-Processing – After Export to Show in Explorer Click the Export button and see what happens. It should do the export then open up Windows Explorer on the output folder you specified.    Before doing any of this, it might be wise to make a screenshot of your current Export settings, the Export To and File Naming sections at least, which you can both post here and use to reset things back from what I’ve specified, above.

What is it that you can not see in Reader: button behavior, rollover effect,
hyperlink, etc. ?
Wow, I am impressed about the fast reaction:-)
The interactive function I am using (unfortunately in German inDesign) is
"button" > Action: by letting go (?). It's a file with some 100 pages and
some 500 links. Exported as pdf interactive...
The effect In AcrobatPro: when clicking on the thumbnail the original
picture shows in a separate window without closing the original file. After
closing the new window, I could continue in the multipage file...
This is not happening in Adobe Reader. It says: the link was not found, and
here and then, when shown in e new window, the multipage file is closed...
Hope this helps..
Thanks Jaro
PS
I did reply on the forum directly, but no success. There trying via mail.
Hope it works:-)
