Best way to export a huge project?! HELP

i have recently finished putting together a 2.5 hour movie and i do not know which route to take for export. i plan on creating DVDs with iDVD. should i use quicktime movie or quicktime conversion?
Thank you for your assitance.

Export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained".
You should also do both of the following before exporting:
+Sequence > Render All > Both+ and
+Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown+
Rule of thumb is that with iDVD you can fit ~2 hrs on single-layer media, ~4 hours on dual-layer media. A 2.5 hour movie may not fit on DVD-R/SL media if you are using iDVD. Experiment - create an iDVD project, import your movie from FCE and then do +Project > Project Info.+ Try each encoding setting to see if your movie can fit on the media. If you have a dual-layer burner and media, 2.5 hrs is no problem.

Best way to export a 720p project to a 1080 file for film festival

I have a 4 year long project, in FCP7, with a 720/24 timeline. Most footage was shot 720, though some later was shot 1080... the film is complete, and now has been accepted into film festivals. (YAY!) Now I need to create a 1080/24 Pro Res file for a festival screener.
What is the BEST way to create that file?
Right now FCP 7 is chugging away in the background as I tried Export->QuickTime Movie and selected the desired codec, and checked recompress all frames and make movie self contained.
Is this the best way?
And, I need to FedEx this out tonight... :-)
Thanks in advance for your help...

No. Don't recompress...that adds a layer of compression. Simply export a QT movie...self contained, using the sequence settings. And then use Compressor to resize it to 1080.

Best way to move a huge project to French version

I've created an English RoboHelp HTML file with about 1000 topics. I'm about to receive translations. What is the best method for creating the French version? Should I make a copy of the English and rename it? How long will this take (assuming all the project files will have to go through some robo-metamorphoses)? The project has LOTS of screen caps and prints out at about 650 pages. I'm not in Robosource at the moment, but if I load both projects to Robosource in the future, will there be any confusion because they were split from the same egg, as it were?

What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

Best way to export from AVCHD to highest quality possible

Hello,
I just got the Canon HF200, a AVCHD Camcorder and new to Premiere Pro CS4.
Does anyone have the time and is willing to explain what would be the best way to export AVCHD source material after editing ?
I'm interested in the best quality you can get out of AVCHD.
It would be nice to have a list of the settings in Premiere to be customized (i.e. setting up new project, exporting format settings and so on) to have the best quality of the footage exported.
Thanks in advance
best regards

Geezus the guy just wants a simple answer.
MASTER FILE / FOR YOUR BLU RAY PLAYER / ARCHIVAL
1) use the Bluray H.264 preset to get a Bluray master. Best quality, takes a while to encode though.
Unless it's a five hour movie I'm pretty sure it'll fit on a BD disc.
GENERAL RULE OF THUMB FOR ARCHIVAL AND MASTER FILES: try to match the final product with your source file.
If your source is H.264/AVCHD export in that format too (In this case, Bluray H264 preset)
If it's 1080i then export as such
If it's 24Mbps then use that bitrate to export as too. Etc. etc. etc.
Now that's for archiving - getting the best looking Master file. Uploading your movie to the web is different...
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW YOUR MOVIE ON THE WEB
1) use that Bluray master (or encode directly from your CS 4 timeline if you have the time) to WMV.
Choose the NTSC setting and then customize it.
640 x 360 or 575 x 324 sizes are good; Make sure to use the SQUARE pixels option since the sizes here are figured for that. Keyframes every 2 seconds, or every 5 seconds if there's not a lot of movement and background business going on. In the 1000 - 1600 kbps range is good (larger dimensions = higher bitrate).
Audio 96/44 is fine.
Choose 2 Pass Variable Bitrate for best quality/size ratio.
If you're using CS4 it'll automatically deinterlace when you encode to WMV. In other programs you need to check "Deinterlace".
2) Flash (FLV) is popular too. Same sizes, you can get away with lower bitrates than WMV. Requires special players either on the web or on the users' desktop so only do this if you feature the movie on your site and you know how to make a SWF file with your FLV embedded.
Lost me here? Then just forget Flash for now.
Other Primer Notes (VERY GENERALIZED SPEAKING):
Forget MPEG 1. Bad quality/size ratio compared to WMV.
Use MPEG 2 for archival purposes, but use high bitrates (like 1920 x 1080 @ 24 Mbps or similar. )
Quicktime is good for archiving too but takes a long time to encode on PCs. Not worth it for web delivery anymore... although there will be Mac fanatics disagreeing with me right now.
Hope this helps

InDesign / Best way to export for Web?

Hi guys,
I did an A2 (large size) poster and now i need to have the very same image for Web Mailing on Internet. I guess it will be a 650 pixeles by 800 px.
Which is the best way to export this content for Internet?
1) I notice that if i save the InDesign file to PDF even in the lowest quality the small text keeps crisp and clear while the file is very small size. Unfortunately PDF cannot be used -i think- as embedded images into a mailing list.
2) If i export the very same InDesign file at the highest posible resolution as JPG -a traditional Internet image standard- the text is blurred and not well defined, besides the file is quite large.
3) Should i exported to PDF and then open in Photoshop and "Save for the Web" as JPG? Maybe Photoshop has a better exporting engine when regarding to images than InDesign...i don't know.
How can i find a way to have well defined crisp and clear text, small size and image? I am not sure i could use PDF format here.
Any help or ideas? that would be great
Thanks,
S

Thanks for the tip!
I am sorry i forgot to say i have an A2 and an A3 size poster version. I used the A3 poster and the 650 pixeles poster for Internet actually turn out to be quite readable. I used quite large fonts size in the original design, a bit of a Swiss or Constructivism style poster.
Cheers

Best way to export iPhoto library?

Hey folks,
I was wondering what is the best way to export all the master/unedited images I have in my iPhoto 11' collection just to have it all in the Photos folder. I would like to start making the move to Lightroom 4 and give it a test drive. It would be nice to keep the organizational structure that I have going on now in iPhoto with my events. Can any one help? If Lightroom doesnt work out for me, I would want to make a referenced iPhoto Library and keep the images in the photos folder. Thanks for the help.

Have a look at my first post on this thread, which predates that export option in iPhoto, that pretty much deals with the issue with older versions. One of those options is free.
I'm just kind of irked by the idea that you should treat folders and files on your own computer as untouchable.
There are a couple of ways to look at this.
One: they're not at all untouchable. You have described perfectly how you might touch them. What we're saying is that touching them in that way may cause you dataloss, but if you want to do that, knock yourself out . But know the risks you're running. Look at it this way: there's no reason you have to use the doors on your car. You can jump through the sunroof, but don't be surprised if you hurt yourself on the gearstick.
Two: If you're the kind of person who really needs to visit with your files and folders for some reason, then run a referenced library. It makes for more work, adds zero extra capability and is likely to store up issues for the inexperienced user, but it's quite possible. For more about how, and the pitfalls:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
Three: The bigger issue here is that you're going to have problems in the future. The files/folders metaphor is going away in computing now. Everything - even text editors - are becoming databases. The files are just dumb storage, the important part is the data - the actual photos. iPhoto is about the data, not the files. The Finder is about files.
These two user tips explain this is more detail:

Best Way to Export After Effects File and Save Transparency

Hi all-
A pretty simple question. I need to export a file from After Effects and keep the alpha channel so I can superimpose it on some video in FCE. What is the best way to export it?
I recall hearing people mention that the Animation Codec with "Millions of Colors+" is the best way to go about doing it, in which case I'd just have to render it within FCE. Is that correct? If so, are there any other settings I should tweak to get a high quality file that will work with FCE?
Thanks.

Hi -
Animation Millions+ will deliver an extremely high quality file with the alpha channel. You will need to render once in FC.
Hope this helps.

Best way to export data for a migration

What's the best way to export data if it is to go into different rdbms database?
Thanks, David

Thanks everyone for all your help. You guys are great.
There seems to be many good ways to export your data from Oracle into a flat file format, suitable for import into other RDBS': Oracle, mysql, postgresql, etc.
A few tools where mentioned but using SQL*Plus, which comes with Oracle (And SQL*LDR on the backend, which also comes with Oracle) seem the most straight forward.
I found this script on asktom.oracle.com to work great, slightly modified here,
(to Include linesize max, and pipes rather than commas):
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set linesize 32767
spool payment.txt
select
PAYMENT_ID||'|'||
USER_ID||'|'||
<more fields her>
from
payment
spool off
exit ;
It works great. Rather than making one of these for each table I wrote an perl script called ora_export. http://crowfly.net/oracle/ora_export. It runs in Unix and only requires SQL*PLUS. It creates these four files:
<tablename>.def # list of table columns and types (SQL*Plus DESC)
<tablename>_dump.sql # a script to export the data
<tablename>.psv # THE DATA (eq. - name|address|etc)
<tablename>_load.ctl # SQL*LDR control for ORCL if you need it.

I need advice (for the best way to exporting uncompressed files)

Using Final Cut Pro to animation(2D) project(30fps), I've experienced a problem exporting uncompressed TGA image sequence files.
Here's the workflow I use:
File> Export> QT Conversion> Image Sequence> Options> TGA, uncompressed 8bit, millions of color, 30 fps> OK
After exporting a files, I supposed to get 1MB each(file size), but I got less than 1MB each(file size). It tells us that those are compressed files. The size of files is random. when I use Avid Nitris there is no problem but it is different with the Final Cut Pro.
Do you know what is the best way to exporting uncompressed TGA image sequence files out of FCP? (for Best Quality Output)
Thank you in advance.
Jasmine

Patrick,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply you. I can't post your request, because Avid is not here. So I will post another example, and I have another question. This is the nearset approach to problem. See below images.
I use QuickTime 7.1 and Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 in the PowerMac G5 2.0 Ghz.
1. File > Export > QT Converstion > Image Sequence > Options > TGA, 30, Best Depth
I supposed to get 1MB each, but I got less than 1MB each. It tells us that those are compressed files, and shows up low quality images. (besides, The size of files is random.)
2. File > Export > QT Converstion > Image Sequence > Options > TIFF, 30, Best Depth (Compression: None)
Finally, I was a great success See the files size: all 1MB each. I can get the result that I want/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
OK, now question, I will tell you.
Why have a different result? (TGA vs TIFF)
'TIFF options' have a compression option, but 'TGA options' haven't it. So 'TGA image sequence' can't make uncompressed files. For what reason? Do you know any particular reason?
: TGA Options haven't compression option.
: TIFF Options have a compression option.
What's the 'Little Endian'? I don't know this option: Little Endian.
Could you explain that for me, please? Lay it all out for me, please..
Thank you for your kindness,
Jasmine

What is the best way to export a movie to avoid losing quality?

I need to get a movie I made on a DVD somehow, but I seem to loose quality in color and overall sharpness when I take it into iDVD and burn a disc. This movie will be projected very large, so I need the best quality possible. What is the best way to export it for the highest quality?

There's been a ton of testing reported here on this issue, but I don't think there is a consensus on the "best" method. For one thing, it depends on what you're starting with.
In my experience with DV video and hi-res photos, it was tough to beat the result I got exporting "large" to the media browser. (Because of my DV footage, HD was not an option.) This made a H.264 file. I could only get a slight improvement by exporting via Quicktime to a H.264 file at double the resolution of the "large" file made by iMovie. Of course this took longer to export and for iDVD to encode. Overall, I'd say it wasn't worth it for the barely visible improvement. That improvement was only detectable in the slides, BTW, not in the DV video.
Many recommend exporting to AIC, which should be an essentially lossless export out of iMovie. This is what the share to iDVD supposedly does, I got poor results with any flow that used an AIC file exported out of iMovie for use by iDVD. Never figured out why, but my results were always better if I compressed to H.264 on the way out of iMovie.

What the best way to export.

I have been using FCE for two years now and smooth sailing. Two years ago I made a DVD for 1 hour 30 mins long. Its been awhile since that project. im currently making another possible up to 2 hours.
now my question.
Question #1. what is the best was to export the project file so i can use it for idvd? there is lots of options just want to make sure i get the right one. the DVD is for commerical sale just want it to be right.
Question #2. Would it be possible to export a project file to a video camera using FCE?
thank jim.

1 - Normally the best way to export your project for iDVD is to export to *QuickTime Movie.* If iDVD is on the same computer as FCE, then you can export a QT reference movie (when you export, UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained". Don't export to QuickTime Conversion if you plan to burn a DVD of your video.
However, before you export your sequence, do both of the following in FCE:
*Sequence > Render All > Both*
*Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
Then save your project
Then export
In iDVD you can put up to 2 hours on a single-layer DVD or up to 4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.
2 - You can record an FCE sequence back to tape if you are using a miniDV camcorder.

Best Way to Export Single Tracks in Audition

Hello,
What is the best way to export one single track (stereo or 5.1) from a multiple track mix in the Multitrack Editor if I want to make it mono? Is it by just muting the tracks I don´t want in the final mixdown and then selecting a mono Master in the Mixdown Options box?
What about exporting only a few of the tracks from a multiple track mix to one mono file? Same process?
Thanks!

"Export all Tracks as Audio Files" found under File>Export.
This will render audio files of your software instruments that start at bar 1, beat 1, and can be dragged right into Pro Tools. The export happens "pre-fader", so it is bounced at unity gain, and excludes any automation.
If there is automation that needs to be included (like a filter sweep or something like that), you'll need to solo the track, and bounce it, because a bounced file does include automation.
Also, if you're using a multi-channel instrument, you'll need to bounce those tracks separately as well.

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
Thank you! Vielen Dank!

What are you talking about exactly?
If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
does not seem to make sense in this context though.
