Blurred video when exporting

Clips are:
720x480
4:3 .9091 pixel aspect ratio
24fps
progressive
uncompressed AVIs
Project settings:
720x480
4:3 .9091 pixel aspect ratio
23.976fps
progressive
I'm trying to just export this project out as an AVI, even uncompressed, so that is looks just like it does in the project, but I keep getting a blur any time there is motion. I've exported it out before and it worked fine, but using the same settings, it's suddenly giving me the results in the image I attached to this post.
I've tired exporting as a 720x480, 23.976 progressive uncompressed AVI, Lagarith Lossless AVI, and also the same settings as an h.264 mp4 file and I'm getting the same results every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm supposed to have this to the client tomorrow.

Perhaps an Interpret Footage action is needed here. Maybe Premiere isn't reading the clips actual frame rate correctly?
Not sure. I checked a bunch of the clips and it shows the framerate to be 24.0000.
I ended up creating a new sequence and set the timebase to 24fps rather than 23.976 (which is what it's been since I began working on this project back in July, so why it's screwing up now I have no idea).
I copied everything from the 23.976 timeline and pasted it into the new 24fps timline. I then exported using Lagarith at 24fps. The exported video looked correct, no blurring. But what I did run into was that every spot in the timeline that had a transition was now screwed up. Instead of doing a smooth crossfade, it instead faded to black and then suddenly cut to the next clip. There are also now tiny gaps between every clip (most of which don't cause a problem, but a few cause 1 frame of black).
I assume this problem has come about because of the difference in framerate between 23.976 and 24. Anyway, I'll have to go back through the entire project and fix all those little problems, but I think the blurriness is gone now. As to what caused the problem to start in the first place, I still have no idea.
It's late. I'm tired.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

Transparent video when exported

I am having a problem with a video I have been curently working on. I have already keyed it using keylight 1.2 and have exported it (lossless with alpha) to Premiere Pro. While previewing the video there is no visible bleed of the colors even when zoomed in. Once the video is exported to mpeg4 my black shirt allows background colors to bleed through at random intervals. I tryed rekeying multipule times with no effect and I do not beleive it was the green screen itself because I followed all greenscreen procedure (light wall, light subject, distance from wall. Do I need to rotoscope the shirt? Am I exporting it wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. If pictures are needed please ask.

Digital noise flashes in video when exporting a Quicktime.

FCP 6.06 - When exporting an SD QT for use in IDVD, I end up with flashes of multicolor video noise that is one or two frames long. Happened most recently four times in a thirty minute video. Source video is a variety of SD formats, Mini DV and DV/DVCPro. Anyone else see it or know who to fix it?

They are on the export. When I export again, they are in different places. Usually I can get a clean export after two or three tries if I bring the QT in and replace the glitches with the original timeline. Not an optimal fix I know. I have tried it with two different macs so the problem must be in the external drives or the cables as you suggest. This is an ongoing, years long contract and the media is spread over 5 drives.
I guess my next move would be to figure out if the glitched scenes all come from one specific drive or cable chain. Make sense?
Or I could spend money and consolidate all of the footage on one new modern Firewire 800 drive to go with my new Mac. Business doesn't quite allow too many expenditures right now unfortunately.

How to keep audio synchronized with video when exporting?

I have a few .mp4 source files that I'd like to combine into a single file. I've done the editing and exported. When played, the audio is misaligned to the video. As a test, I've tried exporting a single clip rather than joining a few and the same thing happens. I end up with audio that is misaligned to the video after export even though they are perfectly synched in the source video. As another test I've tried exporting a single clip to .mpeg rather than .mp4 and the audio stays perfectly synched with the video. It seems the misalignment occurs whenever I export to .mp4. I'm obviously missing a fundemental concept here. Can anyone shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

Problems with levels and blur effects when exporting

I'm kinda new in After Effects. I was trying to to make the effect from this tutorial http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/CC_Flashback/video-tutorial wich I think it could be useful for a short film I'm working on. So... i did the whole thing and if I RAM render it looks pretty near; but the trouble comes when I export the video. A white rectangle appears, and as far as my knowledge can say, I think that the effects maybe aren't being exported well.

What render settings do you use? Could be that one of the render overrides comes into play here and stuff is rendered at different quality settings liek without motionb blur or such. Also, since expressions are involved, do not use MP rendering. Some expressions do not give correct results with multiprocessor/ multicore rendering.

IMovie 08 cutting off the end of my video when exporting

First off, I'm running 10.5.3, iMovie 7.1.2, iDVD 7.0.2 on a MB Pro. I have a 256mg nVidia video card, 4gigs of RAM and about 55Gigs of space left on my hard drive. The movie is about 5-9gigs in size-I made sure everything was updated before I started. I created a 45 min movie in iMovie and exported it via-"export using QuickTime." Under "options->settings" I chose Apple Intermediate Codec (frame rate current, compressor-other) with the default settings for AIC. It takes about 35 minutes to process. I import the movie into iDVD via drag-and-drop where I want the movie to go in the menu. All the menu links, music and buttons work. I test the movie and its flawless up until the very end where I have the credits. It plays all the credits except the second to last one. The one that failing is a scrolling credit that lasts the maximum 60 seconds and the last credit/frame of the video is a non-scrolling screen that lasts for 6 seconds. This 6 second credit/final frame is fine. The whole movie is exactly 45:56sec. What happens is that the movie will play through all the credits and once it gets to flawed one, instead of scrolling words it scrolls a solid white block up the screen where all the words should be. I've tried the whole share/import to iDVD twice and actually let it burn to a disc once. Same problems. I have tried exporting to the media browser as well, same problem. The video has the issue once it's exported (so the problem is not in iDVD 08). ANY tips or ideas would be welcome. Sorry if there is a ton of useless info, not sure what's relevant and what isn't. Can't find anything specific to my issue in other posts.
(I posted this in iDVD before I figured out that the problem was with iMovie and not iDVD)
THANK YOU!!!
Luke

Ditto white screen problem.
I am using iMovie 08 for a 23 minute photo-music slideshow for more control over placement and my music.
The final scrolling credits are 60 seconds long over a photo that is 59 seconds long. I have a wipe right and a new photo and the credits/music end. Everything plays well in imovie, but on the DVD i burn with iDVD, there is a white screen where the credits should be.
Applecare suggested changing to another photo. I did. No change, another DVD coaster. Applecare suggested changing the jpg photo to tiff. I did, no change, another DVD coaster.
I exported again in Media Browser, different name, but got the same white screen.
The 5 other titles in the project are fine in iDVD. When I play it on my TV, it looks fantastic, except for that last white screen and no credits.
Any suggestions?

After rotobrush, how to make background picture appear in the video when exporting it to PremierePro

I seem to have problems saving/using it with premiere pro. it's a 10 second video of myself with 3 pics: 2 that I put in front of the video and one as a background. In after effects, in the bottom left corner box, the 2 pics are above the video file and the background picture is below it. Still in after effects, the background pic is there behind me and the 2 other pictures are in front of my video which is where everything should be, great. When i save it, then export it to premiere pro, the 2 pics in front are there but not the background pic, the background is just my full video as if I didn't rotobrush it. Help??
Also, how can i export the project as a file in Avi, mpeg, mp4...?
Thanks in advance

Hello Mylenium, i do apologize about my ambiguous question. I'm starting to learn how to use it and in some way, i didn't even know what i was talking about myself. But thanks to your help, i now got it.
"When you export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the settings from the first composition in the After Effects project for all subsequent sequences. Keyframes, effects, and other properties are converted in the same way as when you paste an After Effects layer into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence."
so as it says above, it only uses the initial video. What i did was only render using the rotobrush and i didn't "render queue" the whole project afterwards simply because i didn't know i had to do that. I thought rendering it from rotobrushing it and adding the background effects would be enough.
Again, thank you. and i also learned how to save it in different format, since AVI outputs a huge file size.

Problem keying graphics over video when exported.

Hey
I'm new to FCE, but I work professionally in the television industry doing graphics/compositing/3d.
Outside of work, I mess around with my own movies and hardware.
I'm cutting together a piece shot with my Canon VIXIA HG20 camera. The footage/project is 720p.
My problem is that when I key a graphic over the video, it looks great while working in Final Cut, but when I export a full quality video, the graphics cause the entire screen to shift levels. The saturation drastically changes the instant the graphic begins to fade on. It doesn't shift gradually with the fade. This is only visible after export. The graphic is rendered. The image is a 32-bit Targa. The levels in the graphic are within the NTSC broadcast color range. I prepped it the same as I've done for years professionally.
I don't think this is a compression issue, because the change happens immediately, before the graphic is even barely visible.
I looked around, but couldn't find anyone with similar issues, but hopefully this has already been figured out by someone.
Any answers or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I know, targas can only be RGB. I couldn't find a way in Photoshop to work in YCbCr. I have Photoshop CS, so its pretty old, but even on my work computer, which has CS3, I didn't see anything. Next week I'll be installing CS4, so there might be something in that.
I won't be able to test anything until late tonight, but I'll try several formats to see if they make a difference. I'm wondering if there might also be some kind of option in FCE to convert imported graphics to the correct color space.
When keying graphics over video in your projects, how do you save them(formate,color space, etc)? Ever see this issue?
Thanks for your help

No audio or video when exporting movie

I have both CS5 and CS6, running on a mac with OSX 10.6.8 a 2.3 Ghz i7 processor and 8 Gig RAM I'm getting the same result in both CS5 and CS6, I'm trying to export an edit that was shot on a Canon 7D. When I choose "match sequence settings" the resulting file is the correct lenght but has no audio or video. It's completely blank. Any ideas?

Any ideas?
Don't use Match Sequence Settings. Take manual control over your exports, make sure you have the correct settings.

What causes corruption of video when exporting?

I have a project in Premier Pro 1.5 that plays fine in the program monitor but a stretch of the video gets corrupted when I export it as an AVI file. I'm not sure how to descibe this corruption so I've attached a screen shot of a typical example. It's like when a tv satelite signal weakens because of rain or whatever and you get square pixellated atifacts on the screen. I am an animator, and the video sequences are made from gif files which I export as MOVs and import into PPro for editing. For this sequence I went back to the gif source and re-exported it, etc. The artifacts changed slightly but were still there after exporting from PPro. I've made a lot of movies in this program and never had this problem before. Does anybody have a clue what could be causing it?
Those red and yellow squares are not supposed to be there!
PS. I can't try this in PPro CS4 because I can't get that program to export video at all, which is the subject of another thread I have open on this forum, waiting an answer.

Sorry ... Didn't know I could search my old questions on here. Thanks anyway.

Premier Pro deletes denoiser effect on part of audio on video when exporting

I am working with a project that has really bad audio. I have edited and used many noise removal tools in Adobe Audition CC and Premier Pro CS6 (Noise remover, EQ, and Denoiser) which had removed the majority of the noise on the audio. However, after exporting this project and playing it in Quicktime, Premier has seemed to discarded these noise removal effects in the first 5 seconds of the video.
To try and resolve this, I cut up the first 5 seconds and applied an additional denoiser effect to see if this would help. However it did not, and Premier completely disregarded all of the sound removal in all of the exported clip.
Does anyone know why it is doing this and how I can resolve this?

I would like to second this.
I used noise removal. My video is multiple different interviews. There are 5 cuts, to five different audio/video clips, each with noise removal effect on them. but, Only on 2 of the cuts, in the final export, for 3 seconds, the noise removal effect seems to "not work" when the clip starts, then it kicks on gently for the remained of the clip. (similar to what Khalil Jammal said, which is why I'm posting this.
Again, the noise removal fails to "start" only on SOME of the cuts/clips in the final export. It kicks on after about 2 or 3 seconds.
This is odd...it's as if the noise removal effect is having trouble communicating with the final export render. I don't get it. For now, i will have to go back to my "old way" of exporting the audio, cleaning it up in my DAW, then importing it back into Premiere.
This is also annoying as I am paying like, $30 a month for Premiere. This does not seem like something we should have to "work around", but rather, Adobe should fix this issue.

Tearing of video when exporting from FCE?

Someone was kind enough to answer this question a few months back ... unfortunately I forgot the answer. When I'm exporting a project I edited on Final Cut Express I get some (what looks to be) tearing of the video. I remember the person that answered my question (the last time) said something about de-interlace the clips where I used slow-motion or still frames.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks!

Freezing video when exporting

The past 3 weeks at work on my G5, I have been experiencing a problem with iMovie. Problem is when I am done editing and go to export thru my GL2 Canon camcorder to my VCR, about 20 minutes into exporting my video freezes on the monitor, but the audio is still going. I was wondering if iLIfe '06 will help this bug issue? HOPE there is help out there!

Hi Foucused:
I'm going to tell you the same thing I just told another poster having similar problems.
Sometimes updating your OS system one update at a time causes weird firewire problems. (ie., update 10.3.8 to 10.3.9 etc)
The Combined System Updater from Apple may fix this. You might try this in case the stutters are being caused by a Firewire communication problem. It won't hurt anything to apply this update on top of your existing System updates.

Adobe Premiere - blurred video when convertering from MOV to AVI

Hey!
When I exporting my video I made with my iphone (.MOV) to .AVI then the videos quality gets worse that it should be.
What does that depends on and what can I do to fix it?

What does that depends on and what can I do to fix it?
The phone. Don't use the phone to change the wrapper. Use a converter or better yet, use a video camera. Use a phone to make calls.
