Can't export to DV tape

Hi there
I have a G5 PowerMac, 3 years old, and a Cannon XM2, 3 years old.
I have a question I hope a 3 year old can answer...
I can import from my camera - so it's connected fine, but I can't export to tape - it boots me out. iMovie just dissapears and I get the option of sending a gobbledy gook 'report', but that's it.
Strange. Don't remember having this problem before - is there a setting I need to change? On my camera perhaps? Or in iMovie? I just don't get why I can import but not export.
many thanks

If your problem is not a communications problem between Mac and the camcorder, it is likely the problem is related to your system being too slow to deal with the high data rate of exporting. Try exporting a few second video with no titles and no extra sound tracks for testing purposes. I am assuming that your camcorder moves the tape when exporting and that you just get a blank screen when you play back. If you have what appears to be a blank video recording, play it back again but this time push pause and see whether you see a still frame? Wish you luck.
I had experienced two circumstances that caused your problem, especially when I had multiple soundtracks and effects. Apple support was no help when I struggled to fix this problem and I found solutions below.
1) I used an external Firewire drive that was PC formatted. I reformatted the drive to MacOS and the problem went away.
2) I used an Firewire external drive that was too slow where I stored my iMovie project. I could capture and create DVDs just fine, but the bit rate was too slow to export to my Firewire camcorder. (Is your hard drive 7200rpm, not something slower?) Do you have any background applications running slowing down iMovie operation?
3) Have you disconnected your camcorder from your computer and turned it off. Also have you shut down your iMac, not just rebooting, then started it from scratch and then connected your camcorder? Also try plugging in your powered up Firewire camcorder before starting iMovie. It turned out to be a miscommunications with one camcorder under certain conditions.
4) In Sony camcorders in the menu system there is a item "A/V to DV out". Try turning that off if you have it.

Can't Export to tape with CS4 and Canon XL2

I can capture just fine from my XL2 but I can't export out to tape. It doesn't set the camera up as a playback monitor. How can I remedy this situation? Is there a setting I am missing?

Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.
See the picture below.

Help! Deck rental ends Monday, and I can not export to tape...

I am trying to export my movie to tape from FCP to the sony dsr-1500. I started to export, and made the mistake of stopping to go back and see if it worked. Now I have time code on about 3 minutes of tape, and the deck will no longer record on the tape. How can I erase\fix the time code issue, so that I can record to this DVCAM tape? Thanks.

Frankie,
It is nit true that you cannot control the DSR1500 from within FCP.
It can be done over FireWire and over RS422.
For the latter you'll need extra hardware, so let's asume you don't have that. Then you'll will have FireWire-control left.
I suppose the video Signal goes from FCP to the deck over FireWire?
Then check ON THE DECK: (and see what happens in the deck's display)
MENU button.
Tap UP or DOWN, until you see SETUP MENU.
TAP Right Arrow once to select this setup menu.
Tap Up or DOWN, Until you see INTERFACE
TAP Right Arrow once to select this INTERFACE menu.
Tap Up or DOWN, Until you see REMOTE I/F
TAP Right Arrow once to select this Remote menu.
Tap Up or DOWN, Until you see i.LINK
now press SAVE.
Set the deck to REMOTE with the switch top-right.
FCP now can control your deck.
Go to FCP
Select the sequence.
Remove in and out points
Go to File > Edit to Tape
Go to the Mastering-tab
Under LEADER:Choose Colorbars and black that you want to have before your program.
(Use the checkboxes. and fill in the amount of seconds).
I'd advice to at least have 1 minute of color bars/black before the start of your program.
Under MEDIA select ENTIRE MEDIA
UNDER TRAILER check the checkbox and select at least 10 seconds of black
Go to the Device Settings tab. Choose the right Device control FireWire NTSC I suppose, because you live in USA right?
Now go to the VIDEO tab.
Rewind your tape
Look on the deck what the timecode is of the first frame,
Now in the lower left corner of the EdittoTape window fill in a TC that is 10 seconds higher that the start TC of the tape.
In the top-middle of the Edit to Tape window choose MASTERING (not editing)
NOW find your sequence in your browser and pick it up and drag it over the video part of the edit to tape window. Keep mouse down until you have the mouse over the ASSEMBLE part. Release the mouse. Let FCP render if needed and press OK to start when it is asking if you are ready.
Well. Is this working?
And if not. Tell us exactly what went wrong and in what step.
NB: On the deck menu it could be that you can't find the right settings. Look for ADVANCED menu then. You might be in Basic menu...

Can i Export from final cut in full HD quallity

Im capturing my video into final cut from a Sony HD CAM HDW-750 PC.
After editing my project, can i export it as a quicktime mov. or any other DVD recordable format, without any loss of quallity or any compression what so ever? I know theres the HDV 1080i50 setting but i believe thats for HD cameras using MiniDV tapes . Im talking about full HD quallity.
Can i still export it ? what is right setting to do so ?
thank you very much

FULL HD QUALITY? You mean not your current HDV, but fully uncompressed 4:4:4 10-bit HD? Out of curiosity...why?
You will have to create a sequence using uncompressed HD settings. You can use Apple's, or download the codecs from AJA or Decklink and use those.
BUT...what do you intend to do with this? That will determine how you go about it. And know that Kona 10-bit uncompressed 1080p 23.98 HD takes about 5.7 GB for 24 seconds. I just did this yesterday for test color correcting at a post facility.

How can I export to jpeg?

Hi How can I export my photos from Touch to jpeg? I have Nexus 10 tablet, no PC or other Photoshop. Without that facility seems pretty useless!

As you browse your PS Touch projects, on the top right, tap the 5th icon from the right. Tap, "Save to Gallery." Tap each project you want to include. Tap, "JPEG," as the file type if not already selected. Tap, "OK."
The exported JPEGs should be in a folder marked "Adobe Photoshop Touch" in the Android Gallery app.

How to export to DVCAM tape with timecode from Premiere CS 6?

I am having a lot of trouble with this. I need to give a dvcam tape with proper timecode to a television station for a Show I edit. I am editing for this station for last 7 years. Before they accepeted betacam, but now they changed to DVCAM. I have Premiere Pro 6 (or CC) and SONY HVR M15U deck. I connected it via firewire, then realized firewire can't export timecode. Now I am in a pickle.
Possible solutions (may be):
- Buy a card, send other signal like SDI to the deck?
- Buy new deck?
Please help. I able to print to tape via firewire, but how can I print the timecode?
Thanks
Raman

realized firewire can't export timecode.
Sure it can.

Can't output to HD tape PE7

I'd expected to be able to output the finished HD project to my Canon HV10 camcorder as I can do with my Magix Pro 14 programme. To date I have exclusively used PE3 to create my finished HD files as an M2T files, then imported into Magix for export to tape as PE3 wasn't able to do it. So disappointing.

But you can use PE3 for exporting back to Tape in a DV camcorder. Just use the Export To Tape option and it will write back to the camcorder.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

Can we export DATA from all tables in a schema?

Hi,
I have a question; Can we export all the DATA from all the tables present in the schema to any source (eigther CSV, TXT, DAt, etc..)?
Or
Can I have a PL/SQL procedure to display DATA from all Tables in a schema?
With Best Regards,

Hi,
This is pretty much what you need.
DECLARE
V_COUNT NUMBER;
v_sql varchar2(1000);
IN_OWNER_NAME VARCHAR2(100) := 'AP' ; -- SCHEMA NAME
TYPE T_COL_NAME is table of varchar2(1000) index by binary_integer;

BEGIN
FOR i in
(SELECT object_name

     WHERE owner = IN_OWNER_NAME
     AND object_type ='TABLE'
and rownum < 2)
LOOP
v_sql := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || i.object_name ;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql INTO V_COUNT;
if v_count > 0 then
v_sql := 'SELECT * FROM ' || i.object_name ;
select column_name
bulk collect
into v_col_tbl
from DBA_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = I.OBJECT_NAME
AND OWNER = IN_OWNER_NAME;
-- start selecting the column and exporting using the column names selected.
end if;
if v_col_tbl.count > 0 then
for i in v_col_tbl.first .. v_col_tbl.last
loop
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_lINE(v_col_tbl(i));

Can't export iMovie 10.0.1 to Vimeo or anywhere else

Just started using iMovie 10.0.1 and can't export or share a thing. Get rendering error 50 when trying to upload to Vimeo (and this ia a small file too).
Just as a side note, I've been using iMovie for well over 5 yrs but this is the first time I've ever experienced continual problems using an Apple product. I don't know why they took a successful software, changed it and in doing so, ruined it.
So my question to all you smart people out there is how does one export without experiencing rendering error 50???

Let me make sure I understand correctly what you're doing:
I'm assuming you have the latest version of itunes, correct?
When you connect your phone to itunes, do you get any pop ups? If you do, click cancel. Click the button, check for update, is this where you're getting that error message? Are you on a windows pc or a mac? If you're on a windows pc, make sure BEFORE you connect your phone that you disable your anti-virus software, turn off your firewall, disable any malware software & see if that will let you upgrade. On a 3gs, to install any firmware(assuming you're running the latest version of itunes), itunes HAS to contact apple's servers.

Can't export iMovie to camera roll on iPad Air

I can not export an iMovie to my camera roll. When I select 'save video' the box that says 'exporting video' appears but never loads
I'm using my iPad Air version 7.1.2, iMovie 2.0. I have 41GB of free space.
The 14 min movie includes video (shot on a Canon camera), photos (taken on a Canon camera) and songs (purchased on iTunes).
I've read that you need to tick iMovie in settings/privacy/photos - however iMovie does not appear as an option
iMovie is ticked in settings/privacy/location services
I have successfully exported the movie to iTunes and have saved this iMovieMobile file to my PC - this file is 3GB or so in size
The movie plays perfectly in iMovie however I want to export it to play on a PC, TV etc. Please help!
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Can I Export to Text File?

hi,
can i export my ical events to a text file?
thanks.
samantha

I have figured out a way to do this with free available programs:
Download this program:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/faview.html
Faview will allow the bookmarks exported in html format to be saved as a text file. This text file is in a uniform state.
Open the text file with a spreadsheet program. I used the free program called spread32.exe that can be found anywhere on the internet.
Highlight all the columns and do a sort by Column A. The urls will now be in alphabetical order at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Cut and paste into a new text file.

When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

Can't print in indesign (icc's) and can't export pdf for PS - booklet workflow?

I have a book of artwork i've laid out in indesign and am trying to print before binding it. All attempted workflows have been thwarted so far - any help is truly appreciated.
a) printing with a canon pro9000 mark II:
Not possible. I've read into it, done plenty of tests and nothing comes close to a print of the same image from photoshop.
My problems - i can't disable canons color management when having indesign manage colors. The canon presests never grey out (as they do in ps) out and always (seemingly) apply their own icc profile in addition.
Possible solution (which comes close to but doesn't match my ps prints):
Disable indd's color management in edit>color_settings (emulate..off) (printer profile in indd's print settings becomes empty and unavailable) and have canon manage color under printer>color_matching>color_sync>my paper's profile.
This solution is not ideal so i want to export a booklet for ps instead. Here thwarting nr.2:
b) osx Lion - can't export indesign document booklet as a pdf.
I've read other posts on this and there are workarounds through postscript but then i'd have to convert everything to cmyk if i understood this right. Not good.
Is there any way to print my book in indesign or get it into photoshop as a booklet? Ideally with the text still intact rather than flattened into an image?
I know there might not be answers to the specific issues above but i was hoping anybody could if not help me then suggest an alternative workflow. All i want to do is print my book reliably with icc profiles. Is this really not possible?
Thank you so much and all help is truely appreciated!
Cheers,
Danny
(i had a former post with a. as a topic which i will delete to avoid redundancy. Also - please forgive if this has been discussed before and point me in the right direction. Last not least i have read most threads on the topic so while a former topic might have dealt with my problems it's solution - by my understanding - didn't work for me. Example: postscript for pdf because of cmyk. At the same time i fully acknowledge i might just have not fully understood the solution. Thanks!)

I can't help with your color proplem -- don't know the printer -- but you can use a script to impose your booklet in a new file, then export that to PDF.
The two I use are by Dave Saunders. The first, http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip merely shuffles the pages in a new file. You then export that as spreads. It's very fast and easy, but cannot handle objects that cross the spine.
The second is at Dave's CS3 Booklet Script and works by placing pages into a new spread-size document. This one does do cross-spine objects, but neither one handles creep. It's been awhile since I used either, but I think bleeds may be an issue for the second script, too.
There are also imposing plugins for Acrobat...
