Best settings for exporting to play in Windows Media Player on Powerpoint
I'm trying to export from FCP X by sending clips to Compressor 4.04 however the online lessons on lynda.com - my go-to source - and in Compressor manuals don't appear up-to-date with the actual latest revisions and I'm confused about whether to use QuickTime Export Components to get video that will play instantly in Windows Powerpoint either if its running on a Sony PC or being projected on a big screen (not HD).
Also lynda.com says 10,000 bit rate is best but the version used in the lesson limited one to 10,000 while the update goes past 30K. Which setting will work best for my purpose?
Some help on these settings for this novice Compressor user sure would help me make my deadline. My deliverable to a client is a collection of clips that play in the Windows Media Player. thanks

Are you referring to a Lynda.com Compressor tutorial or one of their many PPT tutorials.
I agree that 10 Mbs is a nice general quality level – depending on your footage, of course – the content, the lighting, etc. WMV is probably the safest – although MP4 should be good as well,
Hard to be more specific except to say, Test. A preset that works well for one movie may look not-so-great applied to another.
Take a short, representative section and encode. Project the output file and see what you think.
Good luck.

Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File
Hello,
I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
Thanks!First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results -
Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro
I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help
chucknoris501
What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro
Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects". -
.MOV exported to .AVI with QTpro fails to play in Windows Media Player
I have a .MOV file that I converted with 7.1.6 of QTpro to a .AVI ( DV/DVCPRO - NTSC / Best / 4:3 ) ( uncompressed 48kHz / 16bit / 2 channel ). The converted .AVI file will not play in Windows Media Player or load in Premiere. The converted .AVI will play in QT. I have previously converted .DV files to .AVI without any problems. If I load the converted .AVI with VirtualDub it says there is a missing "index" and precedes to read the entire .AVI file to "re-create" the "index".
Can anybody offer any clues as to what is going wrong?Are you referring to a Lynda.com Compressor tutorial or one of their many PPT tutorials.

Exported media cannot be played by Windows MEdia Player
Hi,
I have loaded in a CS3 project into Adobe MEdia Encoder (I would have eimported it into Adobe CS4 first but it doesn't work- it just loads the project and when it's done, nothing appears). I selected the "Sequence 1" of the project and started the Queue. When it was done, the resulting file does not play on Windows Media Player. I tried loading it into VLC but I get an error about missing a decoder "v210".
I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!hi derek,
In CS3, you can find this option by clicking "File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder". In the AME UI that comes up, you need to click on format drop down for the MPEG2DVD format. There, you can use the preset named "NTSC High Quality". since your footage is only 24 minutes long, you can increase the "bitrate" under "video" pane. Make sure that the output size does not exceed the DVD limit.
To burn it on DVD, you can use Encore. Import the just exported file into Encore DVD project and burn it to a DVD.
If you face any problem, Do get back to this thread.
thanks,

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit
What are your export settings for this finished video from Premiere Elements 13?
For example - are you using
Publish+Share
Computer
AVChD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
or something different like
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
with Presets = MPEG2 1920 x 1080i30
or something different ....
We are going to have to get at your export settings which gets us to the properties of the finished video that you are trying to play in Windows Media Player.
If you take your finished video from Premiere Elements 13 and import that into a new Premiere Elements 13 project with Add Media/Files and Folders,
does it import into the new project. And, when the video is in the new project, does it display video and have audio in the Edit area monitor?
We need more details of the properties of the finished video. Knowing that you have no problems with this matter in Premiere Elements 12 and that
the finished video plays in CyberLink are important, but they do not help to figure out what is happening in 13 so that it does not happen again.

How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...
Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!
Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import. -
H.264 not playing in Windows Media Player
OK, so I've exported a 720p video to H.264 format. The resultant .mp4 plays just fine on my Mac where it was created, in both QuickTime and the VLC Player. It also plays on another person's Mac (I'm assuming QuickTime) just fine.
But two people who have Windows machines cannot get the file to play in Windows Media Player. I don't think they've tried another player, but that's irrelevant because I need my output video to be able to play in WMP.
Is H.264 a poor choice in this case? That's always been my go-to format. I thought .mp4 was a universally playable format.
Thank you.Jim Simon wrote:
It depends on which version of Windows Media Player they're using. If they're still on XP, it's very possible it won't work. Anyone using Windows 7 or 8 should have no problem. (And perhaps it does need to be said, but everyone should be using either 7 or 8 by now.)
At least one of them was on Windows 7.
Is there a better format I should be using for PP export other than H.264? -
Can songs play in windows media player?
Hey I just downloaded some music in itunes and i have a question is it possible for my music to play in windows media player? if so what do i have to do to get it to play?
Do you mean you purchased songs in the iTunes Music Store? If so, unless it is one of the iTunes Plus songs, then it has Apple-proprietary DRM protection, and your answer is no.
If you plan to use your music in both Apple and non-Apple players, avoid the iTunes Music Store. Preferably, make your purchases at stores that sell only unprotected files, such as amazon.com. -

How do I make iMovie projects play in Windows Media Player?
How do I make movies that I have created in iMovie play in Windows Media PLayer having been transferred by memory stick or email? This would be ideal to know because my school's computers are PCs and our main computer is an iMac.
By far the easiest way is to have the school install the free QuickTime Player (Windows Version) from Apple.
Otherwise, you can buy a version of Flip4Mac that will enable you to do the conversion using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip. -
Best settings for exporting from AE
Hi,
I am wondering what the best settings to export to from AE for editing in Premiere CS5.5. Previously I would digitize from tape and would export lossless .avi from AE but now I am using XDCAM EX 1080 50i sequence presets on Premiere and I wonder if I should amend the settings from AE or just keep them as lossless?
As always thanks in advance!Keep it lossless.

Recording audio in Adobe Audition from a DVD played on Windows Media Player
I use Adobe Audition for audio production. I should be able to play a DVD via Windows Media Player and record the audio from it using Adobe Audition.
It isn't working.
I get a pop-up message indicating: INVALID ASIO INPUT (it continues to read) ! The selected input port or ASIO driver is invalid. Please change your settings in the audio hardware setup dialogue.
I tried that approach, and was not offered the ability to make that change.
Anyone have any ideas? My much older VAIO Sony computer handled this perfectly.
Thanks!Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.
