Can't export with same settings.

I followed the procedure of starting a project, and not choosing any initial settings. According to a tutorial I could import a clip and drag it to the new sequence icon and then be sure that it was imported exactly with the right settings. So then I trimmed the ends and tried to export, checking the "match sequence settings" box. By doing so, other parameters are grayed out. So doing so, and trying to proceed I get "error compling movie. Unknown error.
So then I tried a difference sequence with the same procedure as a test, and not trimming or anything with the same results.
these clips are from a Nikon D300s camera:
1280x720, 24 fps, progressivew, Quality 50.
The output and source show the same settings but it doesn't work. Why not?

As I looked at the list of possible reasons, the 2nd one jumped out at me as I was exporting to the same name. Unfortunatley that wasn't the problem. Checking the other ones:
Disk has plenty of space.and none of the other things are problems as I can export things without matching settings.
As in the test, there was no other clip or modifications that is not the problem. I tried several other clips from the D300s and the results are always the same. There is no ability of the program to match the sequence settings. Checking this box is why it won't work.
The last suggestion is to post the problem to the user forum so here it is in a perhaps endless loop with no solution other than PP just can't do it.

Premiere not exporting with correct settings.

So I make videos for youtube and up untill yesturday I used the youtube 720p preset changed to 30fps to match my footage and everything else left standard. Normally videos around 17minutes come out at 700-800mb
However for some reason when i export with these same settings, estimated video still in the 700-800 range. What adobe is actually exporting is a 57mb file, I did this multiple times and recieved the same result and even upped the bit rate from 5mbs to 17.5mbs which changed the estimated size to 2.3gb and once exported i received yet another 57mb file.
the final video is extremely low quality similar to that of the original camera phones, my original footage is hd.
The only way around it i found was to use the check box export with sequence settings.

Hopefully this works below are 2 screen shots to get the full video settings shown.

Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
Format: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100
1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
use maximum render quality
audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
Thanks for your help!

Hi matthewrichie88,
I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
Thanks!

FCE export quality worse than iMovie with same settings

Hi, I'm having real problems exporting video from FCE. If I import an HD clip from my Panasonic sd200 into iMovie and export it as a .mov and do exactly the same in FCE using the same export settings, the quality of the exported movie from FCE is much worse than the same from iMovie. I have been struggling with this problem for months and cannot seem to get any sort of decent quality export from FCE (using H264) and spent hours trying different settings.
Also, the colours in the exported videos from iMovie and FCE are less saturated and look really bland next to the same clip in FCE canvas.
Please can anyone help? Even the guys in the Apple shop could not figure this one out.

Sorry the camera is actually a Panasonic HS200.
The native format is .MTS and films in 1920x1080 50i. Imported via iMovie as a .MOV which gives the same quality footage as if I imported via Log and Transfer.
I will expand on the problem I am experiencing. When I export from FCE4 using "QuickTime conversion" I use the following settings:
Codec: h.264 Key Frames: every 25
Frame rate: 25fps Frame Reordering: on
Data Rate Restricted to: 10mbps
Optimised for: Download
Quality: High Encoding: Best quality (multi-pass)
Dimensions: 1920x1080
Deinterlace Source Video: ticked
When the deinterlacing is ticked, the final exported video appears ghosted, with two of the same images projected side by side rather than one on top of the other, creating a very bad image. However when deinterlacing is not ticked the final exported video ends up with horizontal lines across the entire image. This is seen even more clearly when not in full screen.
When I export from iMovie 09, using Share>Export using QuickTime using the same settings as in FCE4 (deinterlacing ticked) the footage is very clear and there is no noticeable ghosting or horizontal lines.
When I export footage from FCE the video also end up desaturated and washed out, with low contrast. The same happens when I export from iMovie, but to an even greater extent!
My 'Easy Setup' for FCE4 is:
Format: Apple intermediate Codec Rate: 25fps
Use: AVCHD- Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
These are the problems I experience; described above.
I do no know whether the problem is something to do with my export settings; settings in FCE; or whether FCE exaggerates the quality of my images (which i highly doubt); or if it is because FCE4 is now around 4 years old, and iMovie is from 2009, and therefore has more advanced settings for AVCHD?
I am by no means a professional when it comes to talking video jargon.
Any help is truly appreciated as i have completed over 150 test exports in FCE and the Final Cut experts at the Apple store spent almost 2 hours trying to work something about, but could not think of anything!
Thanks in advance.

How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
Thanks,
Phil

i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.

Can't send e-mail using Mail. Entourage works fine with same settings.

I can't send e-mail using Mail. Using exactly the same settings on Entourage everything works fine.
Until earlier today (for two days only) I couldn't send either. I was advised to run Keychain Access First Aid which spotted "Item “pop3.freezone.co.uk” is a duplicate; this item's port attribute is not set" and then repaired it (Freezone is the name of my ISP). Now I can send Mail but not receive.
Even stranger is that until today I could receive Mail on one of my two accounts, while only Mail from one person got through on the other. Now no mail is arriving.
I tried swapping the plist file for an older version from a backup of my system. That didn't work either.
I'm tearing my hair out! Any suggestions?

No.
I'am sendig email from domain A using SMTP belonging to domain A.
The emails that's addressis is the same as senders (@grader.ee) are going out. But all others don't.
If there is wrong outgoing SMTP server even those emails can't send.

InDesign CS5 on two computers with same settings

Hi. New to macs and adobe software, so please help if you can.
Have a macbook air and a imac, both running indesign.
Is it possible to have both machine use the same settings, workspace, layout etc. (ie when a change the workspace or preferences on one machine, it will be the same on the other machine)
I understand about library and snippets, but wanting the main preferences, workspace, swatches, preflight etc etc to all be the same on both machines.
I know you can export and import some settings, but this means i have to rememeber to update each computer.
Looking for a way to have both machines access the setting from a common source.
I have an external wireless drive that both machines can access.
Is this possible???? thanks.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity for cloud-based applications. The app's on neither machine, but accessible to all subscribed users.
You could try installing InDesign on the external drive and starting up from it, instead of the internal drives. Probably there'll be problems because each Mac model installs OS X specifically.
InDesign's able to script startup operations, so you might be able to script copying the settings files from one location to the other, with perhaps a dialog box to confirm/ignore, depending on which location's got the most up-to-date settings. Or, perhaps a shutdown script that copies from each machine's session to "iacsettings" or "airsettings" stored files, and a startup script to choose when launching.

Can't export with alpha channel - Again!!!,

So, I have an intro that is designed as an overlay of the incoming video. The objects move out the way to reveal the video underneath. BUT, when I export the sequence the resulting movie has black in the background.
Now, I had this issue several months ago, and after tons of research and trial and error, all of a sudden it worked when I came back to Motion on another project. No explanation. It just worked.
Usually, I have the background set to Transparent and then export using Lossless and Alpha. Works fine. Well, not today. I've changed every export setting under the sun trying variations of Lossless with Alpha and also tried the Animation codec. No luck.
So, what is going on? Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help Patrick. I tell ya, I can't believe what's going on. As I said, this project until today has not caused me any issues what-so-ever. The other six sessions are totally fine. I also created a quick project with the same settings added text - then exported using the same settings I've used before, and it exports with the proper alpha channel.
Yet, I rebooted the Mac, made sure to delete old versions in the trash can and everything. Still, no alpha.
To keep moving forward, I literally had to use a color key in FCP to cut out the background color.
Crazy!

Export With Same Pixel Size Not Possible?

I'm exporting two photos from Aperture to another program for the purpose of creating one panoramic picture.
However, the other program (PFactory) only allows the stitching of photos with the exact same pixels and no matter how I try to export both photos with same pixels using Fit Within Pixels with Aperture they never come out the other end the eact same size.
One photo has 5195 x 3454 and the other has 5195 x 3459.
Anyone know why?
Thanks.

How are you trying to do this now? When you export using a "fit within" it's going to scale the image proportionately. It's not going to crop. The problem you're having is that the ratio of height to width of these two images doesn't match so "scaling" wont work... if it trims the height by a few pixels it's going to trim the width by a few pixels to maintain the aspect ratio.
You'll have to crop the larger image by 5 pixels. But this is what I had assumed you (or someone) had already done to the 2nd image. I've never seen a digital camera that puts out images in random sizes (were the images actually taken with the same camera on the same settings??)
Select the larger image, pick the 'adjustments' tab, click the 'crop' icon along the bottom left corner of the image frame. In the crop-window that opens, set the "Aspect Ratio" to "Custom" and then type in the dimensions that you want. It'll put a box on the screen to show the area it intends to keep but you can use your mouse to slide that box around. When you leave the crop mode (e.g. pick the "selection tool" icon (left-most icon in the lower left corner of the image -- or really any other mode) the image will be updated to reflect the crop (keep in mind Aperture doesn't really crop the master... it's just displaying it that way.)
Now when you export to TIFF or JPEG, etc. as "original size" the image sizes will match.

Editing H.264, exporting with current settings results in transcode?

Hello, I just edited a H.264 (.mov) home video and exported it using "Current Settings". The original file size was 400 MB but the export resulted in a 4.5 GB file. FCP X obviously transcodes the original material. I've also tried exporting the same file using the "H.264" setting, the result then was a 300 Mb file. This corresponds to the cutting I've done but the export process still took a lot of time and CPU to finish which proves transcode taking place again. In the past I used Quicktime 7 Pro to cut and edit H.264, it never transcoded the files and the saving was quick an painless. Am I missing some settings here or is FCP X currently unable to edit H.264 and export it without transcoding the original material? Thank you

Hi Badunit,
thanks a lot for this clarification. It perfectly makes sense in the way you describe it.
Maybe you can give me an additional recommendation ?
At the end I need my film in h.264 format and of course I'd like the film to be in terms of quality as close to the original material as possible. Original files are AVCHD HA (so h.264 codec with 17Mbit/s) in 1080i resolution.
So far I have exported my material directly from FCP X (using either the "export to h.264" from FCP itself but also trying several h.264 export formats from Compressor). All these attempts ended up with a quality that is visibly worse compared to the original AVCHD file, even when I use a bitrate for the output that is much higher than the 17 MBit of the original material. Resolution is fine but scenes with fast moves are really bad in some cases. From a "naive" point of view this seems strange to me: An output file in h.264 25MBit/s should be as good as the input material that was h.264 17MBit/s, shouldn't it ?
From what you stated above, I now wondered if I should better export to ProRes first (thus building what you called the "master" in best available quality) and than build the h.264 file from the master with Compressor in a second step ? means: go the way "Highly compressed" -> Master -> "Highly compressed" instead of directly doing "Highly compressed" -> "Highly compressed" ? Would there be any difference ? Or is the material anyway transcoded to ProRes in the background when exporting to h.264.
Happy to receive any recommendations / experiences on this.

Does anyone know why I get varying file sizes when I save a jpg (with same settings-None, 12, base "standard", preview checked) from PhotoshopCS5?

I opened a .psd file (300 ppi, CMYK, .jpgs (1626px x 2130px), I saved it as a jpg (None, 12, base "standard", preview checked).
I then closed the original .psd file.
I repeated those steps on the same file and saved a series of 6 .jpgs.
Of those 6 files, I received 2 large files (6.2MB) and 4 smaller (3.2MB) files.
My coworkers who were having trouble opening some of my jpg images in Windows Photo Gallery on Vista OS were able to open the smaller files but not the larger ones.
Do you have any idea why the same settings would give me different file sizes from CS5?
Is there a way I can make it consistently keep the smaller more compatible version?

How well a image data compresses depends on image content. Image with High detail do not compress well image will little detail will compress well and the file size will be small. Compare a image of a blank white wall to a wall with a black and white checker board wall paper. One is all white it white no other detail to detail the other has squares that vary in size because of perspective angle and distance a lot of detail must be recorded.
I do not know why they can not open some of your images. File size should not be an issue. All your image decoded are the same size Width number of Pixels Height numbers of pixels background layer only for these are jpeg files.

Cant control remote computer, but can control others with same machine

I have an old G4 that I recently upgraded processors on, as such upgraded hard drives, and OS to Tiger. I can control my other 2 macs on my network fine, but they cannot control the G4. I have the same settings as the other macs for sharing and port forwarding on my routers. But still no luck, another quirk, I can wake the G4 with the other Macs, but still unable to control. Anything I am overlooking?

which version of Apple Remote Desktop are you using, and do you have licenses for all the machines from which you try to control others?

Can't export with Flash Builder using Android 4.3

Just installed Android 4.3 and now I can't export from Flash Builder to my Android device. Also some of my previously installed Flex apps will not run. Anyone else seeing this? Any clues or answers???

It seems as though, there might be another bug with AIR and Android 4.3
If you use application scaling (applicationDPI) and css media queries.
When deployed on the device (Galaxy Nexus) 160 dpi is always fired, rather than 240.
Anyone else come across this?

Can I "export" my Homesite settings for a new installation?

I'm doing a complete re-installation of Windows and all my
utilities on a new drive. I've got Homesite 5.5 freshly installed,
but I'd like to migrate all of my settings from the previous
installation to the new one. I thought that simply copying the
entire directory from the old drive to the new would do it, but I
was wrong.
Is there some file elsewhere in my old directory structure
that I can copy, or some way to export my old settings and import
them into the new installation?

Hmm, I thought there was something written on that one, but I
can't find it right now.
It depends upon what you have customized and where you have
put those customizations, but copying over things in the homesite
userdata folder, perhaps also any additions from extensions,
parsers or help.
Some of the setup is in the registry. If you want that,
you'll have to export and re-import parts of that after you run the
homesite installation.

Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.

Can't export with same settings.
