Are Quicktime movies from fcpx  or Motion 5 self contained

Maybe a dumb question but once I export a quicktime move from FCP X or Motion 5, can I delete all the files I used in the project?
Thanks

YES....
The movie after rendering out to a Master file is self contained. It is being recoded meaning that new frames are being written to the movie...
Still --- ONLY delete AFTER you are sure that it is safe to do so ;-)

  • No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

    Hello
    In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
    I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
    I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
    When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
    In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
    Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
    Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
    I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
    I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...

  • Quicktime moves from FCP

    Ok - I'm officially out of my depth.
    After 6 months editing a lorryload of 4x3 miniDV interviews I finally got sign-off this morning.
    Client wants a quick DVD to watch over Chritmas, so I Export Quicktime movies (normal, no conversion) of all 10 timelines, simply adding .mov on the end.
    I make a 4x3 DVD project in iDVD, and drop in the QT moves.
    All fine and dandy, but one, just ONE of these movies insists in playing all squeezed out in 16x9.
    The odd thing is that this is the second time I've done this. Last week I went through the same process, and the same clip was playing out in 16x9.
    These are all new clips (I've changed the edit since then), and it's a brand new iDVD project.
    But same result.
    I've checked the rogue clip in QT and iTunes, and it plays just the same as all the others.
    So I tried MPEGStreamclip - and noticed some full screen red rogue frames, which suggested a problem.
    I checked the other clips - they all have the red rogue frames - even though they behave normally in iDVD.
    What might be causing this?
    I'm tried re-Exporting all the clips as 100% Quicktime movies from Streamclip.
    The files were all much bigger then the originals. How can that be happening?
    But when I reload them in Streamclip they still have the red flashes.
    I've tried doing a SaveAs from Quicktime - still red flashes.
    Even MPE4 versions - red flashes - and these show up in iDVD too.
    Any advice gratefully received. I'm running out of time here
    Thanks
    Tom

    I forget to mention that I made the original movies on a MacBook Pro running Tiger and QT 7.6.4, but was trying to make the iDVD on a new machine running Snow Leopard and QT10 - because it has a much faster burner and I'm in a hurry!
    I'm now trying to make the iDVD on the older machine and there is no sign of the red flashes - plus that rogue movies plays normally.
    Phew... BUT
    Someone else is making the real, proper DVD - what will happen when he tried to pick up these quicktime movies on and AVID (pre version 5)?
    Thanks

  • Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

    I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

    If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
    No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

    I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

    how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
    you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

  • How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

    I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

    Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
    Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:

  • Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

    Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

    I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
    I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
    In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
    I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
    The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?

  • Why are my movies from Motion freezing and skipping after exporting them?

    So I just got motion and was playing around with some slow motion stuff, they never play smoothly when I am trying to watch them in motion, actually no video in motion plays smoothly weither it has slow motion or not.  Anyway, I would finish one clip, export it, then try to watch it with quicktime and it would skip and freeze in quicktime to.  I thought it might be a problem with quicktime so I restarted my computer and the same thing happened.  I tried watching a video that wasn't from motion and it played fine.  I tried playing a clip from motion again and it did the same thing, so I tried watching it in iTunes, and iTunes did the same thing.  I tried watching it with Picasa, Picasa did the same thing.  I have no idea why it is doing it but it is very anoying when I can't see how my own video turned out.  Anyway any help would be appreciatied!  Thanks!

    what codec are you exporting from motion? if its a huge old codec like 8-bit or 10 bit uncompressed then your computer may not be able to handel the playback. have you tried exporting doem small version to see your work?

  • Help Emergency for Exporting Quicktime Movie from FCP

    Hello -
    Not sure if anyone is up at this hour, but I have a huge grant deadline TODAY and we are having trouble getting my film trailer onto a DVD. NOT newbies, checked manuals and searched more than a few forums.
    Details: 11-minute sequence made with FCP version 5.0.3 G4 Tower Dual 800 Processor.
    Following suggestions found here and other places, we selected sequence in FCP > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion
    There is supposed to be an MPEG 2 format choice that comes up but it does not. Other choices but not MPEG 2.
    In the past the editor has exported as a regular quicktime movie, self-contained, and dragged it into DVDSP and the conversion was done in DVDSP. When we try that we get "incompatible format."
    So we have the trailer sequence as a regular quicktime movie, and an MPEG4 which may be of use as a coaster since from what I've read it's not readable in most DVD players.
    Is there any way to convert the MPEG 4 sequence to MPEG 2 so it can be seen on a DVD player?
    Please, Please help with any suggestions. Manuals HAVE been consulted prior to posting. Have been up all night, and I have to get this trailer in today. thank you for any help you can offer.

    so we have one cooking in the oven now -
    we ended up going with Best/120min/4:3 because the 90-min one didn't allow us to choose "all"
    It's an 11-minute sequence, and hopefully in not-too-long it will be recorded on a DVD. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you responded to my smoke signal! (I am, in fact, quite fried at this point).
    I'm kind of surprised that after an hour searching about this on this forum and others, no mention of how to actually do this despite a lot of mentions of "threads about this." I tried so many searches using different terms and date ranges, but i'm just glad that you were at or near your computer.
    Again, thank you and sending lots of gratitude from NY. It's still cooking, so hopefully I'm out of the woods, but it will be nice if things go smoother now that the sun is up over here.
    grazie

    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)

    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.

    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • Why does th  It is a QuickTime movie from a dvd home recording.

    Why does the audio stop after the movie starts?  It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording.  Also, the video is choppy.

    Why does the audio stop after the movie starts?  It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording.  Also, the video is choppy.
    If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
    I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.
