Cant export AV Self contained but can export QT Conversion Full Quality DV

Having trouble exporting Quicktime movie, "Self-Contained"is checked. Include Audio & Video. It exports about 3/4 of the way and than get general error. I have searched the forum but found nothing that would help. I have exported it using quicktime conversion Full quality Dv and it exports fine and plays fine. But when I import full quality dv back into fce and render it, the last 10 minutes of the 22 minute video has no sound.All music is aiff and all pics are jpeg, tif, And video is all original DV. Have have made several videos using all the same types of format and have never had this problem. Could someone help. Thanks.....Rick

Did you render all and mix down the audio before you attempted to export the movie?
Sequence > Render All > Both
Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown
Do both of them, in order, then save your project, then try exporting again.
What version of QT do you have on your system?

Exports a self contained, then renders. Why?

I exported a self contained Quicktime movie (same settings as footage--HDV--no recompressed frames). My exported file is named exactly as I named it, but with four additional mysterious digits at the end. Here's what I don't get: FCP says it's still writing video. Why? Is it writing a render file? It's already exported a self-contained movie that appears to be complete (I watched the end). What's the point of this render file? (The exported movie contains 4 fades, and 2 text titles). Not sure whether to stop the "writing video" so I can do some other work, or leave it in case it's needed by my self-contained file.

Hi:
If your sequence is just plain video edit, I mean, no effects, color correction, graphic elements (text, etc), then you'll get no quality difference encoding from your timeline or from the self contained. Both sources are same quality.
But if you have effects and graphcis in your sequence that you need to render, then you'll get the best quality encoding directly from the timeline, because FCP will use the raw info from each frame as source for the encoding, NOT the rendered ones.
The difference in quality depends on how heavy your effects/graphics are.
Hope that helps !

Exporting Non Self Contained

I want to export a sequence but I don't want it to be 1 large file but just the same clips in a different format. I tried unchecking "make movie self-contained" but it didn't do it. Anyway I can do this? Thanks

I want it all to be separate clips so I can smoothcam each one separately. Do you know the best way to do that?
that's not the same thing as your original post at a all.
Pop open the manuals or the online help and read up on using the Optical flow and Smoothcam systems. Very carefully. the biggest gotchas is that the analysis wil be performed on the netire media clip unless you do an export. However, if you do a reference movie, I don't think you can set ina dn outs. Smoothcam will still attempt to look at the entire media beig pointed at.

Am I exporting to Self Contained Movie properly?

Hi,
I think I'm doing this properly, but perhaps someone will have more experience and expertice! We shoot on a Canon XF300 camera, which natively captures on XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs). FCPro 7 could capture natively, but am I correct, X cannot? (Please . . . somebody tell me Apple does have the codecs for XDCAM native import!)
No problem, we open 7 to capture from our cards we shoot on. THEN we quit 7, open X and import the files! So we keep the fast import speed and "smaller" files (50 mbs vs. 65 in Prorez) of the individual captured clips. We import for highest quality at Prorez 422 into X. Edit everything - and now for the question.
It's time to export a master. I have "learned" this - I THOUGHT if X was set (in the edit menu) to ProRez 422 better performance, or the Best quality, or Proxy - I THOUGHT when you export, the quality wa always the best X can do. (Basically ProRez422 at 65mbs.)
But I find now I was wrong!
When I export to Self Contained Movie with settings left on "Proxy" the exported file is ProRes422 and plays at 20mbs. Much "lower" quality than we want. But leave all setting the same in X, except change the "quality" to original or optimized best performance OR BEST quality - the export is still ProRes422, but the data rate is 65mbs. (Which I assume is "better"!) BTW, we use 12x720.
So I was wrong! It's important (I'm guessing and looking for conformation) that if we want the BEST export quality, we should NOT have it set to PROXY!
I think everyone will agree with everything I've said so far, as that's what we're finding. But NOW I see X will export at XDCAM Prores422 at 50mbs (by changing the codec on the export menu.) Now, the result is 50mbs (lower than 65mbs, good! Takes up less data)
But . . . WHY would X export at XDCAM Prores422HD (at 50mbs) but NOT IMPORT OUR NATIVE FOOTAGE OF THE SAME VINTAGE?
What am I missing here?
Thanks - hopefully many people have the same thoughts?

Tom, it's all a bit confusing, although I have spent considerable time with Canon on this! What I KNOW is FCP 7 will import footage shot on our Canon XF300 natively. The exact codec FC uses is
"XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" It works beautifully. 2 BIG advantages for us - it uses 50mbs when it converts to QT files (vs. 65mbs in ProRes) and it imports native clips about 4 times faster than converting to Prores. (On the other side, though - when you render in FC - if the sequence is setup on the cative codec above - it DOES take considerable longer to render anything but that's life, I guess!!
FC then exports using that codec as well, making the self contained exports play at 50mbs, NOT 65 that ProRes seems to.
BUT . . . as we discussed above - FCP X will export to "XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" but NOT injest footage in the XDCAM format. We ingest with 7, then quit 7 and open X to import the files - I don't understand why FCP X exports in XDCAM, but not log and transfer files natively in that same codec?
Thanks,

Cannot export a self contained Qucktime movie

As of yesterday I have lost the ability to export a self contained Quicktime move from FCE. The sequence is complete and rendered and I have exported as recently as last month but now it simply makes what's known as a reference movie with the suffix .mov
The Export drop down menu still displays all the Quicktime options.
Additionally the Quicktime icon in my dock when clicked displays a question mark. I tried downloading Quicktime but still no go.
Please help Tom

Right but what I am trying to convey is that I need to generate the brushed chrome framed, high quality, up-loadable, stand alone video that I used to get with ease and I cannot get that with my FCE. What are you calling it, what is the proper term because I always called them Quicktime. I made one less than 2 months a go.
Quicktime is present in my System Prefs but is not in the dock. When it was a question mark appeared over it. I cannot find it, launch it, etc.

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld. As soon as I get home and connect to wi-fi the mail sends no problem

We use ntlworld as our home broadband provider and main email address. In my experience ntl doesn't usually allow sending of email except on its own network which is why yours works at home. My iPhone is set up to send my ntl email using my second email account's smtp setting (in my case is is a mac.com account and I haven't found any network this doesn't work on to send email).
So my advice is to get yourself another email account with a different provider like yahoo or google, then use the new provider smtp address to send your ntl email on your iPhone.

*** Can I archive and export a self-contained DVDSP project?

I think I'm having trouble with the burner on my tower so I would like to try my current project on my other tower. I would rather not rebuild the project, so is there a way to archive and export the project as a self-contained file so it will open up on another machine and I won't have to re-link everything?
Thanks in advance.

Nope, no way to back up project like that. If you make folders though and then with the Project right beneath the root folder and other folders beneath it, then copy the entire folder over, it will relink. Take a look here

Export several self contained movies via "Automator"?

Hi,
If we have, say a 30 minute FCPro 7 sequence open, I want to chapter mark about 30 portions of the time line with Chapter markers. Everything works perfectly, even iDVD recognizes them.
NOW . . . I'd like to export each "clip" - they're about 1 minute each - as a self contained movie. Easy - but very work intensive having an in and out point and exporting. But it works well.
Is there a way using Automator to somehow tell it to take each chapter marker (30 of them) and export every section so I don't have to each one manually via in and out points?
Anyone know any secrets as to how this might work?
Thanks,
Larry

Forget Automator. Not even AppleScript works with FCP.
Can Batch Export be convinced to do this for you? What happnes if you take that sequence with the markers and drop it into a Browser? Can the markers then be used to create clips? If so, tey might be able to addressed by Batch Export.
Sorry, got no idea if it's possible.

Does the choice to export a self contained movie or not appear in FCE?

That's my simple question. Then I will move on.
I found this in the FCE manual under Exporting Sequences to DVD:
2. Configure the Save dialog as desired.
In most cases, you will leave the Include pop-up menu set to Audio and Video. If you
have created any markers, choose DVD Studio Pro Markers in the Markers pop-up
menu. iDVD can use either self-contained or reference movies, allowing you to decide
whether to make the movie self-contained based on other requirements (disk space
and so on).
For more information, including detailed information on settings, see Chapter 72,

Did you see this in your other post? -
All you need to do for top quality results is this:-
1. Go to File>Export>QuickTime Movie.
2. In the Save window that appears give it a title and DO NOT tick the "Make Movie Self-Contained" if you are using it on your present computer and are not deleting any files.
3. Open iDVD and navigate to your QT movie and drag it into the iDVD's Theme that you have chosen.
4. Do anything else you want in iDVD and burn the DVD.

Exporting to self contained QT

I have a video clip as my first slide, and then subsequent still slides with a song playing throughout the presentation.
When I export to QT on to my desktop I get two files. One, the presentation and the second, the QT song file.
How does one incorporate both into a true self contained playable movie?

I don't think the way you've created the Keynote will allow a self contained export file.
But there's an easy way to combine them without any high-end editing software like FCP. Just open both video and audio files in QuickTimePro. Expand the selection points on the audio file to include the entire song and then copy. Then go to your video file and place the playhead where you want to audio file to begin. Under the "Edit" menu select "Add to Movie" and the music file will be perfectly inserted.

Exports as self-contained when self-contained box not checked

When exporting from FCP 7 using QuickTime movie, sometimes I get what appear to be a self-contained movie even though I did NOT check the box for that. That eats up a lot of file space unnecessarily. By way of example, today I exported two separate sequences from the same project. Both sequences were about the same length. Both sequences consisted of clips that were 1920 x 1080 .mov files. Both sequences had chapter markers. Both exports were done leaving the "Make Movie Self-Contained" unchecked. Yet one of the exports resulted in a file of about 1GB while the other was about 13GB. Any explanation? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and sorry about being in the wrong forum but I was having trouble finding the forum for FCP7. In any event, the exporting issue doesn't appear to correlate with the project having been fully rendered. I'll keep investigating.

Export completely self-contained SWF?

Dear Forum,
I have zero experience with Flash Builder, so sorry if this is a stupid or redundant question. I imported a project from Catalyst and am trying to export the whole thing as one single self-contained SWF with all the assets embedded (as opposed to being in separate folders). I have no problems making a release build with all files in the corresponding folders, but is it possible to generate only one single working SWF?
Thank you for your answers.

Thank you, David for your reply. I don't know of a way either. WHY?? Let's see, I have videoed many 'horses', edited them (each is many edits and last about 90 seconds each) all on one timeline, chapter marking them so they show up as separate "chapters" in a QuickTime movie. Or on a DVD. These will be displayed on another system (probably a PC) and they are requesting each horse as a separate entity. That's what's prompting the question. I thought maybe there's a way to do this - perhaps with "Automator" or something?
Thanks

Exporting movie - self contained = help

Hello,
I've finished my work in fcp, im ready to export; I need to make 2 different formats for every exported movie.. one is for dvd and the other is for internet (will use compressor)
when i export from fcp using quicktime movie, do I make it self contained or not? self contained takes a lot of space..... once i hand in the files, I will delete all, don't need a copy from that work...
my main question is, does it make any difference if I use compressor with a self contained movie or a NOT-self c m?
thanks

referenced movies work just fine in compressor so long as you are not about to delete the raw footagen or render files.
