Can't export a sequence

I have a 45 min Long HDV sequence and when I try to export it with quick time conversion set at DVPRO NTSC it immediately say General Error with no number, and the canvas window turns solid red and say "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
I seem to be able to play the sequences with no problems. Other sequences in the project exported fine. When I try to export the sequence using Compressor or QT export it gets about half way through and FCP crashes. I trashed preferences but it still does not work. What's going on?

It might be possible that some portion of media or render file is corrupted,
render files could be deleted and replaced by new renders.
Should you trash renders do so using Render Manager (manual III-673), which can be found in FCP main menu>Tools>Render Manager.
If instead some corruption of the original media has occurred you need to find the corrupted file.
Set in and out on portions of your sequence and try export again to see if a specific portion produces the general error again.
Finally did you try exporting as QT movie reference (self-contained unchecked)?
Hope that helps,
G.

  • Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

    Using the latest FCP..
    Im working on a project with some heavy boris effects stuff... SLOW SLOW rendering.. The entire sequence is already rendered.. but when I go to export the sequence as a QT movies.. using the current settings.. it wants to rerender the **** thing.. 4+ hours.. instead of just spitting out a QT built with the ALREADY rendered sequences.. The timeline is 1080i XDCAM. The sequences is only 5 minutes long.. So it should export in a matter of minutes if it didnt want to RERENDER EVERYTHING..
    This is killing me right now..
    Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

    Joe
    Lets start at the bottom and work back ....
    What is your target format? You want to export the sequence but for what purpose? Is it for broadcast delivery, for burning to DVD, for web, or ....?
    You note that the timeline is 1080i XDCAM ... well that is a native Long GOP format. When you export it as a single self contained clip then all those GOP structures that make up the different elements of your sequenvce must be broken down and re-conformed into a singole semaless GOP structure that describes the whole. Thats why it is re-rendering.
    And GOP's are a hog to decode and encode ... thats why you're seeing such SLOW SLOW rendering.
    Suggestion number 1) Set your sequence's Render codec to ProRes 422 ... th erender files will be bigger but they rendering itself will be much faster.
    Suggestion number 2) If you are not exporting back to XDCAM media specifically then there is no real reason to export your edit as XDCAM HD. Try exporting as ProRes 422 (as per the render setting) ie choose Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Setting: Apple ProRes 422 (+not Current Settings+)
    Suggestion number 3) If you are working on a big and powerful mac like the latest and greatest MacPro's, then in future just set your sequence codec to ProRes 422 and edit the XDCAM files directly in that ProRes 422 timeline, when done then Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Current Settings
    Hope thats helpful

  • I can edit my video clips, but I can't export the sequence.

    OK.
    I imported 30 GBs of my footage from my SD using my Macbook Pro's internal card reader for a video; while it was importing I noticed my computer was getting low on memory and the import was going to take all the memory (rookie mistake) and then some. So I canceled the import/transcoding (I optimized the footage), I proceeded to edit the footage and I was able to view and edit all the footage that was imported, even though before I canceled the import it only completed 30% of it. I finished editing and the share and export function is dimmed and when I try to import the footage again nothing happens. When I try to transcode the clips it says, "camera clips cannot be processed. you must import/reimport these first in order to process". My SD is still in my computer and I haven't taken it out since.
    Is my computer mistaking the footage already being imported and its actually reading the footage from card?
    Do I need to...
    A) Take the memory card out and reimport it?
    B) Do a XML export?
    C) or do I have to restart everything and edit from scratch, which I hope isn't the case because this is for work and I need to turn this project around quick.
    Any answers or places to look would be very much appreciated!!! You would be an answer to my prayers!!!

    Select the clips that were not imported, and go to File->Import->Reimport from Camera or Card.
    You don't have to do them all at once; and I strongly recommend you don't create optimized media at this stage. This is the bit that takes a long time, is probably not needed, and can be done later, anyway. (To optimize at any time, select clips in the browser, control-click and choose Transcode Media...)

  • How to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?

    Hi All,
    I am new to premiere cs4,
    earlier i used premire 6.5 for video editing.
    in premiere 6.5 for exporting video i had used procoder 2.0
    after procoder instalation it comes as plug in premiere 6.5 by using procoder i can export timeline as my desired video format.
    but now this procoder is not working in premiere cs4
    after i installed procoder it is not showing in premiere cs4.
    i tried export option in premiere cs4 but it has no .vob option for export
    now how can i export timeline sequence as .vob file and
    how can i work with procoder in premiere cs4? is there any chance to install procoder in premiere cs4?
    Thanks,
    Murali.

    I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.
    Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.
    While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.
    To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:
    You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
    You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
    You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.
    Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.
    Hunt
    PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

  • I can't export due to a quicktime error!

    I tried exporting different files and it will, but for some reason i can't export this one, can someone help?

    Ok.
    You can try exporting your sequence as Export > Quicktime Movie, same settings and self contained if you haave space.
    Close FCP, open Compressor and drop that movie as source. Check if that way work.
    Hope that helps !

  • Can I export a single sequence xml or project file?

    In FCP I can open two projects and drag a sequence from one to the other -- no can do in PPro, far as I can tell. I have a feature with 11 reels, and I need a separate project for each reel. Is it possible to export the sequence only, for import into a new PPro project?

    Go the other way around.
    Create a new empty Project, then import the selected sequence.

  • Can you export as AVCHD if you use "Matched sequence"?

    As far as I know, "Matched sequence" means that you will export the file exactly the same as your sequence settings. Adobe says that you can't export to AVCHD, you can only import AVCHD but you have to export to something like MPEG 2.
    So what if I export a AVCHD sequence as "Matched sequence"? Will the final export be a AVCHD file or something different?
    How do I check if the exported file is a AVCHD file?

    Where it says "Format" that would be the exporter you'd want to use from Premiere Pro or AME.
    1.Youtube.
    Format: H.264. There is a preset for YouTube 720p that you can use as a baseline; increase the dimensions to 1080p, change the frame rate, and I set the bit rate to 8mbps target/10mbps maximum for my YouTube 1080p uploads. Save this as a preset so you can reuse it later.
    2.Delivery for TV broadcast.
    That's hard to answer; every broadcaster will want different deliverables. You'll need to check with their requirements. I deliver everything from H.264 MP4s, Avid MOVs, DV AVIs, and HD MPEG2 files--it's sort of a mish-mash so it's not really possible or practical to give you a set number of parameters for this one.
    3.Archival use on my computer.
    You could use an uncompressed AVI or MOV (Format: Microsoft AVI/QuickTime, Codec: None), but they will be very large files. Why not just keep the footage and the project file? You could also try a lossless codec like the Ut Video Codec Suite or (my preference) Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Both are free, Windows-only, and appear as codecs under Microsoft AVI. They're both good; they'll be big files as well, but not quite as big as uncompressed.
    4.To burn to DVD.
    5.To burn to blue ray.
    Premiere Pro has specific exporters for both of these; check out Format: MPEG2-DVD for DVD and Format: MPEG2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray for BD. You can also just send your sequence to Encore and let it pick the best settings based on your desired output format; select your sequence and go to File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore.
    6.To upload and sell the footage on a website like shutterstock.
    Just like #2 above, you'll need to check with the specific stock service what their requirements are. They should be pretty simply spelled out, and then you can choose the format and codec based on those requirements. Googling for the particular service and other users' experiences would help, too.

  • How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

    I have FCE HD and would like to export my sequence directly to compressor. But, when I do so...compressor opens up....but nothing is in there. What step did I miss or is something wrong? I should not have to transfer to project to a QT mov or FCP. I am trying to avoid that and got directly to compressor. Right?

    Make sure the sequence and project you are trying to export is selected. Also, you may need to click on the drop down arrow in compressor to view your project. I'll be working with compressor quite a bit over the next few days for an EPK I'm cutting. I will try to duplicate your problem and let you know what I come up with.

  • Can I export mutiple stills at a time?

    What Marcel is suggesting does in fact give you several pictures. If you choose a clip that is one second long, and export it as an image sequence, you's get 30 still images. A 4 second clip, you'd get 120 images...all in sequential order.
    Do you mean is it possible to export still images from several different clips at the same time? No, you need to tell FCP what frame in what clip to export.

  • HELP I'M AN IDIOT!!! AND I CAN'T EXPORT THIS TO MY USB

    Hello I am using the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro 5.0 and I cannot export my movie (Sequence) anywhere...  I'd like to send it to a friend (who is a mac user) as an MOV file.  But right now I can't even save it to my desktop.  Please help as I am under a serious deadline and I have been up all night.
    I need very step by step directions... I have been to a BILLION tutorials and ALL of them seem to be talking about things that are far more difficult than the simple action of saving your completed sequence (movie) to the hard drive or USB port.....
    UUUUUGGGHHH!!!! Is this because I'm on the trial version?

    Here's the section of the Premiere Pro CS5 Help document that gives instruction for exporting a sequence:
    "Workflow for exporting files"
    Here's a video tutorial that covers the same material, but perhaps in a more friendly manner:
    "Exporting sequences from Premiere Pro"
    As suggested, I'd try something like a QuickTime movie with the Animation codec first, just to make sure that the basics work. (The Animation codec makes big files, but it's also a pretty standard way to make losslessly compressed intermediate movies, so it is a good choice for this little test.)
    If one of the steps fails for you, tell us exactly what you're doing and exactly how it fails (complete with the exact text of any error messages).

  • Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

    I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
    I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
    Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
    And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
    Here is some additional background info if desired:
    I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
    Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
    I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
    1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
    2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
    3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

    Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
    For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
    Maybe this helps someone?

  • How can I export a selection as premiere PROJECT FILE to edit in another project....?

    Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue....I must of hit an awful evil key because for the third time deep into an edit I traced back to my intro to find most of the audio pulled a Houdini on me and disappeared.
    I've been through a tough edit, it's not as simple to just go back into my bins and recollect the clips to create my intro.
    Luckily I found the exact intro I need in an auto-saved project file. Copy and pasting obviously does not transfer through project file changes, there is an option to "Export as Premiere Project File" under File, however after marking specific in and out marks and even selecting all clips I want to export, my option tool remains gray and inaccessible.
    I need to export these specific clips as a project file so I may import the file as a sequence to a larger project.
    Help?
    Thank you so much in advance for your time and feedback.

    Have you tried importing the sequence through the Media Browser?  To do so, browse to the backup of your project and double-click it. That will show you all the contents of the project. You can then drag the sequence into your working project.

  • How can I export m2ts footage with 5.1 audio in PP CS5.5?

    Dear All!
    I have a 90 minutes project which made from 4 sequence. Sequence settings are the followings : AVCHD 1080p 25fps square pixels , 5.1 channel master audio.
    I made the sequences from avchd file-s, which recorded with Sony HDR-CX700V with AVCHD 1080p 25fps and Dolby digital 5.1 sound.
    Right now I finished the project with lots of effects and imported After effects compositions, and I cannot find any setting to create 5.1 sound.
    I have Mainconcept codec suite, but this offer m2ts 1440*1080i settings only.( And I cannot configure the mainconcept codec settings.)
    Do you have any idea how can I export the project without any degradation, and with 5.1 audio? The original footages recorded with this properties : H264/AVC - top field first - 22.000 Mbit/sec.
    And I use in the project some 720p H264/AVC - progressive - 8.001 Mbit/sec videos.
    Please help! Thanks a lot.

    You have to consider a couple of things. Mixing 1080 and 720 material is best done in a 720 sequence, because uprezzing will seriously deteriorate quality, unless you accept black borders. That also means exporting a 720 format as maximum, unless again you accept serious quality loss. Whatever the resolution you choose, exporting AVCHD material to anything else than uncompressed, Lagarith or UT will entail a generation loss and thus quality loss. The best export settings are dependent on your delivery medium. DVD, BD or web.
    Since you are working in a 1080 sequence, the quality loss of uprezzed 720 material is not a big issue, apparently, so what is the relevancy of 'the same quality' on export when you have already compromised quality?
