Back to basics on Exporting to AVI or MOV - HD

Hello all!
I can't believe I'm asking this because I have exported from Premiere for years.   (But not to MOV and AVI when dealing with HD -- it was always to some compressed format such as FLV or MP4, etc.))
And I asked a similar question just a few days ago.  But now I need to be very specific about this specific project.
I need to export from premiere CS5 to a file I can use in After Effects. CS5
Yes, I've been trying dynamic link -- and have had nothing but problems, so for now, for this project I need to export from premiere to a old fashioned AVI or MOV file and then import into After Effects.
My sequence settings are 1920 x 1080. 29.97 FPS   (FYI My orignal MOV  video file sizes are Image Size: 1920 x 1080
The only AVI and MOV files export options I see will not give me the above sizes, or will give me sizes with black bars above and below.
I don't want to lose quality during the export for many reasons, including I will export out of After Effects back into Premiere when I am finished in After Effects.
Thanks
Rowby

OK some screenshot. Dont look at the source as i am on pal and HDV.
This is what you see after selecting Lagarith via the Preset DV AVI
The Preset turns to Custom
Uncheck the chain or lock or whatever it is called (Maintain aspect ratio while resizing)
and set every thing manually.

  • Exporting to avi or mov on a Mac

    Hello. I'm just learning how to use Captivate on request from a client so this may be a bit of a noobie question. I'm using Captivate 5 on a Mac. All the tutorials I've seen on how to export captured video to .avi format has been for the Windows version of Captivate. When I go to publish the video and navigate to the Media tab, there is no useable video formats available. There's .exe .app .f4v and .f4v with a fixed frame rate. I need these videos exported to cut together in after effects, but without a video option as described in the Windows version of this software, this is making my task impossible. I can't seem to find any help for the Mac version.
    If anyone can help with how to export to any sort of video file (avi, mp4, mov, whatever) on the Mac version, I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    These .f4v options are both in fact videos, which you can use in video player / editors directly.
    If you want to convert this video to MP4, you can do it with Adobe Media Encoder which is installed free with Captivate 5. Inside the Adobe Media Encoder, you need to select H.264 as the format. The select one of the suitable preset to get MP4 output.

  • Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

    Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
    Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
    I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
    I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
    I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
    Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
    If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
    Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
    I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

  • Can't export 720p .AVI in Premiere CS6

    I have a bunch of 720p videos that I'd like to export as .avi, but none of the codecs or presets availible allow for this. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Premiere CS6 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC

    Let's take a closer look at this.
    When you say "AVI" do you mean the old NTSC or PAL AVI that was used with the original DV cameras? If so, that codec can't handle the larger 1280X720 frame as Ann pointed out.
    Why do you want to export to AVI? Because you always did in the past? Or is there another reason that would help us help you?
    Is it just that you want an archive? Something you can edit again? There are ways to do that. Lagarith creates a fairly large file. Is hard drive space an issue? If not, then Lagarith is fine. There are other, more compressed codecs that you may or may not find acceptable.
    My camera, for example, records an all I-Frame file at 72Mb/s and if I want to back it up, I merely export to the same all I-Frame format at the same data rate.
    What does your camera record?
    Once you tell us what the whole story is, we might be able to point you down the correct path.

  • Exporting Media .AVI audio out of sync

    I've got an older AMD 64x2 4200 CPU with 4GB of memory.  I upgraded to CS4 and uninstalled the previous version.  Everything seemed to be working fine but I started to run into a problem where I wasn't getting any audio in my DVDs.  I traced this back to the media export.  Which turned out to be a lack of HD space on my system drive.  I cleaned up a few files but that only made matters worst, it wouldn't render at all.  So I uninstalled everything then resinstalled.  Now it is rendering, but the audio starts to drift out of sync.  After 40mins it is defineately out of sync by at least 1 second.  Any ideas on whats going on?  I've tried using AVI output, now I'm trying WMV which takes longer.

    Brian,
    I'm not on CS4, so my encoding won't help. However, several have reported that AME is slow to start. Do not recall if any came up with fixes, or tweaks, but there are several threads on it's speed and on how long it takes to launch and begin. Might be some good info in those threads.
    There have also been some issues reported with the DL (Adobe Dynamic Link) in both CS3 and the more robust version in CS4.
    When these have occurred, most had great success by doing it the "old fashioned way," Exporting elemental streams for Video-only, and Audio-only, then Importing the Video-only file as a Timeline and the Audio-only file as an Asset. Drag the Audio-only file to the appropriate Timeline and it snaps into place. Might be worth the effort. Remember - multiplexing is turned OFF. Yes, DL should do this for you, without Rendering and Export, but if it does not function, you can still get the Project out of the door. Might want to also look in the Encore forum, as there has been much discussion on CS4's DL'ing. You may have to poke around a bit, as it is divided into several sub-fora. Also, some people post anywhere, regardless of what the question is. Sometimes, the sub-fora are great, but other times they are a PITA. It all depends on the posters.
    Good luck with the computer problems,

  • Premiere Pro CS3 - export to Avi

    I have been using Topaz enhance to upsize my SD footage to 1280 x 720 HD with some good results, I have to encode the footage to H264 (MPG4)
    The process is very time consuming.
    Is it poss to render the 1280 x 720 file to an Avi of the same output size? - Premiere changes it back to 720 x 576 when I export to Avi
    The other question - How many times can you encode an Mp4 file as I have to bring the Topaz HD files back into the project?
    The Mp4 files do not play well on my system 3.4ghz 3gb ram when using various players but play ok when exported into a new Premiere Cs3 project.
    An Avi would speed up the render process.
    Hope someone can help

    Where would I find Avi uncompressed or Lagarith within premiere? I have plenty of Hard drive space for large files
    I can,t afford to keep waiting while the project re -encodes to an Mp4 10secs takes about an hour
    Will an uncompressed Avi still keep the quality Topaz has produced, Encoding to H264 seems to retain it but takes ages.

  • No Audio When Exporting to AVI

    I spent yesterday cutting up an m4v file into smaller files that I then exported to AVIs.  I did about four of them and had no trouble.  Today I get back to the office and try and do it again, and when I export, there is no sound.  I have been exporting just using the defaults MS AVI defaults and have made sure that export audio is checked.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for this novice?  Any and all help is most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Andy

    Everything looks good on your screen-cap.
    What Harm was referring to was that the trail does not support anything MPEG - nothing. The issue is that Adobe would have to pay a royalty to MainConcept for their MPEG CODEC's, and they do not want to do that for the free trials. Now, the full compliment of CODEC's are in the paid version.
    HERE'S an article with details.
    I find it odd that your trial version would support MPEG one day, though not odd that it would not support it the next. It should NEVER have supported it. Could it be that you were using different Assets, or were Exporting with different settings yesterday? Maybe Audio as PCM/WAV?
    Good luck,

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • Why is "Export Video" greyed out? I need to export an AVI (PP2.0)

    Yes, I'm still on PP 2.0. I've never seen this until today where Premiere won't allow me to export my AVI with video as Microsoft DV AVI. It will if I switch it to Microsoft AVI. (See screen print image.)
    I've re-booted, I've tried importing the settings that I had previously saved for times like this. Still nothing. When I open ANY project, now, I have the same issue. Any ideas?
    I remember with an old version of Premiere when something quarky like this happened we'd have to delete the prefs and then re-open the project for the prefs to reset. Is there something like that for this?

    Problem solved. In the past, I have actually had Video mistakenly uncheck and rendered out AVI's that were audio only. (I only work with DV AVI's, although it's entirely possible a setting got switched to the non-DV.) So this time I simply panicked when I saw it grayed out and don't ever remember it being like that. Hunt, you are right that even though it was grayed out, it was still checked, so I did a test movie and the video IS there. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try this sooner. I simply panicked.  Thanks guys!

  • FCP 5 export to .AVI for Windows client? Advice needed!

    I have a Windows platform client that wants my Exported FCP 5 Sequence in .AVI format.
    Obviously, I normally always use Export to Quicktime Movie in FCP, and I do know that their is not a direct choice in FCP to export/convert as an .AVI file. (I usually hand off the FCP file to another facility that does DVD Studio Pro authoring work, and haven't had a need to make different file formats).
    This has made me to ponder of few bits of info, that I'm sure I could get great ansers to, here.
    My normal "workaround" for making an .AVI for a Windows user is to Export as Quicktime Movie in FCP, like normal, and then open that exported file in Quicktime Pro, and use Export Movie to AVI in Quicktime Pro. Is this the best method? Secondly, I am a little unsure as to the best settings I should use in QT Pro to achieve this. For example:
    I just did a routine NTSC 48k,16 bit stereo, 30 second ad in FCP, and my normal, Export to Quicktime Movie was about 260 meg in size for the finished, self-contained movie file.
    I opened this in QT-Pro and ran Export to AVI. In the settings dialog, I chose "uncompressed" for video and 48k-16 bit stereo for audio. The resulting export was about 680 meg in size! Because of file size restrictions for the clients product, what settings change or choice should I be making in QT-Pro to get an "equivalent" of the 260 meg file the FCP is exporting? Should I not get an equal file size of the QT-Pro AVI versus the FCP export (both 260 meg?).
    If the answer is compression, what is the best settings in QT-Pro? Cinepak? Intel Indeo?
    Perhaps, I have always misunderstood what FCP Export to Movie is giving me, but I thought that was uncompressed video? If so, why do I get the 260 meg out of FCP, and then 680 meg from QT-Pro Export to AVI (uncompressed) for the same 30 second clip? Is it simply a data rate difference?
    Lastly, I have actually had a Windows user take a FCP Export to Movie file, straight from me, and they say it opened fine in Windows Media Player as is for viewing. However, there is no (dot) file extension name on the end of the filename. They can simply click File/Open in Windows Media Player and choose the "unrecognized" file because of no extension, and play it just fine to at least view the clip.
    So what exactly is the file type that FCP is creating? It's not a .MOV and not an AVI file. What would be the equivalent file type association (just for my curiosity).
    Thanks for any help to the above as I value the more-experienced users here.

    Hi Wade,
    Sorry for letting your post unanswered for two days, we were all busy (I know, it is not an excuse).
    Seriously, I think the reason you are not getting answers is you have asked too many questions in one post. Don't know about others, but I get slightly confused.
    Let me tell you what I do with FCP material when I send it to our sound department where they work with Nuendo on PCs. I export sequence using QT Conversion. My settings are: Format - AVI, Compression type - DV-PAL, Compressor quality - Best. I do not bother much about the sound. I sent the resulting file over network to a Maxtor FireWire external drive connected to a colleague's PC and then take the drive down to the sound guys. If the AVI file is smaller than 2 GB I can burn it to a DVD and a PC can open it, if it is larger, PCs cannot open. Also, the sound guys ask me not to use Cinepac, they do not like it. Therefore, I use DV-PAL; I guess you may safely use DV-NTSC but it depends on who will open the AVI file. Ask your client what it wants.
    I think my routine is a bit more streamlined than yours - I export straight from FCP and do not bother with QT. You are wrong in saying that there is no direct way in FCP to export AVI.
    Hope this is a starter for more answers. Also, have you tried searching the forum? I am sure all the answers are already there.

  • Converted to Dynamic disc in error - how can I get it back to basic?

    I have created a system image onto a external HDD
    I have not yet created a system repair disc as I understand this can only be done once and I didn't want to do it at the wrong time
    Can I format the HDD back to basic then copy the disc image, or won't this work as the disc image is of a dynamic disc?
    If I create a system repair disc of the dynamic HDD will I be able to use it if I take the HDD back to basic?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to export uncompressed .avi files over 4 gigabytes?

    I want to export my 70+ min movie as one uncompressed .avi - file with FCP
    but it turns out only 4 gigabytes of data (35-50 seconds) are visible in the exported clip. The rest is black.
    How do I get around this problem?

    The drive is mac standard (not FAT32) and I have checked + confirmed that the drive can take files larger than 4 gigabytes.
    The .avi file I export IS the right size (200+ gigabytes).
    Even though the audio and video doesn't show up after a certain point.
    I use Quicktime conversion - avi (compressor : none, quality: best) etc.
    I've tried saving with and without sound (48khz 16bit uncompressed)
    When I save without sound, the exported file contained a little bit more video data (a few more seconds)
    which supports my 4 gig limit theory.
    I just want to export the movie in it's uncompressed state
    for editing on a PC (premiere cs4)

    Thanks for response! It's not the player's problem (it's mpc btw), I import it into Premiere for post editing and it's disaster to see the failed rendering.
    Mmm need time/Everest to find out the system info. Generally render setting is just straightforward AVI lossless/best quality with no codec assigned.
