Choppy video coming out of Compressor

I am compressing 2 min. 40 seconds of HDV (1060i, 29.97, HV20-material) for export to the web (youtube, vimeo, dailymotion).
I used vimeos compression settings, through elvira's settings, and get choppy footage. I desperately need to upload this thing within the next few days.
Compressor 2
FCP 5.1.2
iMac G5
Am I missing something?

I was going to write that I have the same problem, but I think I've just found the solution! (If you can call it that…)
It seems that when you switch to the input to the one that the Apple TV is on, a signal is sent through the HDMI cable that automatically wakes the ATV. If you interrupt it with the remote while it's auto-waking, it gets upset and shuts the whole business down. Try this after you've had your ATV asleep for a few hours
1.) Turn on the television/display and make sure it's on the correct input
2.) Turn on the receiver and set it to the input coming from the ATV if it isn't set to that already
3.) Wait at least 30 seconds
This has been working for me. I just tried to replicate it before posting this, but I'd apparently used my ATV recently enough that I needed to wake it with the remote. I still haven't been able to find much consistency in the behavior, but I haven't needed to unplug and replug the device since I started doing this.
Let me know how it goes!

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.

  • Video frames to layers coming out blank on cs3 extended

    This has only just recently started happening as it was working fine earlier, but now when I try to open an Avi. file into video layers the frames are just coming out white. Anything I can do to fix this?

    Convert the file in ffmpeg/ MPEGStreamclip or another tool or export it from Quicktime Pro using anotehr CoDec. PS just sucks at dealing with these compressed files and using such an old version doesn't help with contemporary digital video from a camera...

  • Almost high def video and title menu coming out blurry when project completed

    I have been using premeire elements 10 since it came out and have been happy until this week.  I use elements to put together my daughters school performance for archival reasons.  I am working on her latest play and act one was fine and clear when completed earlier this week.  However, act two is coming out blurry, including the title menu and other texts and the burned dvd came out very blurry.  I tried to compare act one and now the title menu preview is also showing a blurry video so I know the burning will be blurry as well.  please help as I'm tired of always redoing the edits.  thank you

    Thanks for the great news of your success. Well done.
    Best give the Shake Stabilizer a good workout before making your final decisions. Major consideration there are resource demanding feature
    and file must match the project preset before the Shake Stabilizer will work. Here is the link to the Adobe document on the new Shake Stabilizer
    in 13. Note its recommendations for use.

    The first thing of note is the major change in workspaces going from 10 to 11, 12, and 13/13.1. Principles tend to stay the same from version to version, but
    the features tend to get moved, deleted, or changed. As I typically write, it is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find
    a feature that you are used to.
    The following are some Premiere Elements 13 video tutorials. Some times a 12 one might be in there. To spot the non 13 ones, look at the headers
    11 Quick and Expert

  • I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

    I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
    I don't understand why this is happening. 

    Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
    To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
    If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
    Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
    Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
    Good luck.

  • PAL anamorphic projects seem to be coming out at export at 4:3

    I have Final Cut Studio 1 with all the latest updates. I am doing more video projects these days and I've noticed that upon export things seem to be going a bit wrong. Both straight to quicktime and using compressor to export a 16:9 project and out comes a 4:3 the other end. Even in the compressor preview screen. Frame size says 720 x 576 but it's not coming out widescreen. I've done 2 projects previously that worked fine, but the latest one just baffles me.
    It's a trailer completely created in Motion 2. In the motion preview screen, everything looks fine. Export it (keeping the project settings) and boom 4:3. Drop it into final cut and the same. In a project with shot video footage previewing fine in 16:9 the motion file comes out as a squashed up 4:3?
    Has anyone else had this problem, did a crawl through the forum, and there were a few things similar but no real answers. It's like the Final CUt to motion 3 problem but around the other way....any ideas where I'm going wrong?

    pal anamorphic is a setting used when you plan to dispaly your project on a wide screen-capable tv (because it relaly is wide screen or has the ability to change aspect ratios) so it is actually a 4:3 pal format, than when you watch on your tv you squish by telling your tv to change its aspect ratio. It is actually poor man's wide screen, as you are only using 4:3 equipment and it is not as heavy pixel wise as it is not actually filling the full wide screen resolution but cheating. To make real wide screen, that exports as wide screen without the distortion and teh necessity to squish it back down, use a non anamorphic format to begin with, or do what others have said: change the resolution of your exported file by shift dragging the corner of the quick time player window, or putting in the correct resolution in pixels.....

  • My Mouse Cursor Disappears coming out of standby and screensave​r!!

    I have a TX1000z, with a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium 64.  All drivers are current, including the video, networking, mouse, etc.  I am using the xb3000 port replicator with the logitech MX Revolution mouse and a bluetooth wireless keyboard.
    My mouse cursor disappears from the screen, sometimes both the laptop and the monitor (a Dell 22"), sometimes just one or the other.  I can still use the buttons and see different things highlight, but no mouse cursor.  It is not related to Windows Media Center as I have not run that on my laptop yet.  I can reboot and everything is fine, but then it will just disappear again and I cannot keep rebooting!  I have seen this problem posted all over the web, usually in relation to Windows Media Center and the "solution" is always the same...Disable Pointer Trails and "hide cursor while typing."  Neither of these has worked for me.  In fact, when I went in to disable trails, they were already disabled.  Actually, when I clicked on Enable Pointer Trails, the mouse becomes visible.  The mouse is then choppy (even when the trail is very short) and disappears again if I disable pointer trails.

  • Choppy video in iMovie/iDVD from Sony HDD Camcorder

    I feel like I must be doing something wrong here, I've just moved from a windows XP machine to a nive shiny iMac which is lovely and I just want to hug it a lot, but.....
    My DVD's just aren't coming out right, here's me thinking Macs were renowned for their video editing, but all my stuff is looking better from windows.
    To explain further, I connect my Sony DCR-SR32 to the mac via USB (the Sony is a hard disk camera which records to mpeg2) iMovie recognises the camcorder and allows me to import all my clips. I spend hours putting together some holiday footage with appropriate fades, titles and cuts. I then import the finished project into iDVD and spend more hours messing with the motion video menus and getting everything looking right.
    I then burn to a DVD and it looks horrible, the frame rate looks like it's about 10 fps and it's jumping around all over. After some research, I find that Perion is probably to blame, and I can work around it by exporting from iMovie as a DV file or removing Perion which I've creating a DVD.
    So the output is better, not so jerky, but something is not quite right, while it's not jerky its not quite as smooth as if should be, and the colours seem to be a little more pixelated a bit like when a divX movie struggles in an area of low contrast.
    I'm comparing this to running XP in a parallels session, attaching the camcorder and hitting the "Disc burn" button which burns a lovely smooth and colourful DVD without a problem.
    I thought this must be an issue with the conversion, convert to h.264 when the file is pulled off the camcorder, and then again into mpeg to burn must be missing something, but I took the raw mpeg files and got Toast to burn a DVD and that was the same "not quite right" result. I've read a lot about OSX's difficulties with mpeg2 and suggestions to use Streamclip with the MPEG quicktime plugin - will this do anything better, it just seems that with any conversion you're going to lose some quality, and converting several times to get something into iMovie then again when iDVD prepares the disk seems to be asking for more trouble ?
    I've double checked all the obvious things, like is it set to PAL, and is the DVD burning at the best quality. I'm even burning to disk images to take the physical DVD out of the equation.
    But still the results are not satisfactory. I really don't want to have to run windows still, iMovie and iDVD - although fairly basic were really nice to use, and the overall result is great... if I could just get it to look right.
    Any idea on what might be wrong in all this, or how I can get a better quality movie to burn ?

    Ok, this time I tested it in playback mode.
    Connected USB. Chose HDD connect. NO NAME appeared on desktop. Opened iMovie (started my stopwatch at this point). Detected camera - scanning. Generating thumbnails (at this stage it is generating thumbnails for all the clips I have on my camera. For the record, I have 6 clips of 52secs, 22secs, 40secs, 27secs, 29secs and 1min). Finally, after around 1m50s, the 'Import From' window pops up showing me the thumbnails for each clip. I stop the stopwatch.
    I only want to import the 1min clip this time, just for timing reference. To import this 1min clip on my imac (see my mac profile below) took 2m30s. This includes generating the thumbnails too, although I'm not quite sure why it does this again. I think 2m30s is very slow considering that DV would/should import in real time.
    Anyway, those are my findings today and I for one now have a better understanding of how to connect my camera...playback mode only!
    Thanks.

  • I'm trying to make a poster and invert part of it but the black is coming out as a beige colour instead of white.

    I can't figure out why this is happening - I've remade this document from scratch twice and each time it did this. I made a new adjustment layer with an invert mask on it, and instead of the black coming out as white, it came out as this beige colour. I tried to fix it myself, but was unable - I adjusted the colour profile, changed the colour, as well as fooled around in the menus trying to figure it out. I've inserted a screenshott of my workspace, as it was when the problem happened. Any help would be appreciated!

  • Choppy video playback on my 1st Gen iMac G5

    Everything from internet video to DVD playback on my 1st Gen iMac G5 is choppy and getting more so as time goes on. Can anyone tell me if this is a symptom of the defect that's covered under the extension plan or is this just some other problem?

    Check the version in the Application Folder!
    (I have had no problems at all after installing QT 7.5 on my G5 iMac in case you think it can't work at all.)
    It is possible that something in either your pre-existing setup or your method of installing updates, are the root causes of whatever problems you are having with QT 7.5 particularly with choppy playback. Out of date plug-ins and add-ons could also be playing a part. Some users have found choppy playback to be associated with improperly loaded plug-ins and add-ons from third party vendors as well as those included by Apple with prior versions of Quicktime.
    Third-party add-ons include DivX, Flip4Mac, or FLV components, while the included plug-ins are AppleIntermediateCodec.component, and AppleMPEG2Codec.component. The files for these are located in the root library, therefore a faulty component will load improperly for all users, resulting in choppy playback even when a user creates a new account. Some may need updating or just reinstalling to work with QT 7.5.
    You should therefore:
    Remove and re-add all quicktime components and plug-ins.
    Navigate to /Library/QuickTime/
    Move all plug-in ".component" files from the folder (to the Desktop, for instance)
    Launch QuickTime and quit it again
    Place the ".component" files back in the QuickTime library folder
    Launch QuickTime again, and the choppiness should be better.
    A few more things to try but in each case first close all applications and repair permissions.
    1 Try opening then closing GarageBand, or launching then quitting the "Audio MIDI Setup" application located in Applications/Utilities. Failing that, go back to Audio MIDI Setup, and under the Audio Devices tab, make sure the Audio Output Format is 44100.0 2ch-16bit.
    Restart your Mac.
    2 Go to the Library on your main hard disk and find the Internet Plug-Ins folder. Try removing the following files:
    QuickTime plugin.plugin
    Quicktime plugin.webplugin
    Restart your Mac.
    Re-install the Quicktime 7.5 update
    Go to Home/Library/Receipts and delete the file Quicktime 7.5 pkg.
    Download from the Download page on the Apple site the correct version of Quicktime 7.5 for your Mac.
    Install it and restart your Mac. Repair permissions.
    3 If still no luck, it is time to look carefully at your plug-ins and add-ons. The safest way is to download and re-install all of them. The ones you need in order to see and hear virtually everything the web has to offer are:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of all recent Security Updates.
    (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    If none of the foregoing worked, then you should consider and archive and install before repeating all of the above.

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............

  • Display is all snow coming out of Sleep mode

    Just replaced a 17" LCD (using the mini-DVI-to-VGA) with a new Acer 24" widescreen LCD (using mini-DVI-to-DVI). After a little fiddling with the profile, I've got a pretty nice picture. Problem: coming out of sleep mode, the screen is all snow. If I pop the monitor off and on, everything comes back normal. I did NOT have this problem with the older 17". This is more of an annoyance than a major issue, since just a couple of hits of the on-off button correct it. But it ain't right, so I'm hoping I can fix it for good. It happens whether the Mini goes to sleep by itself or if I put it to sleep. I don't know if it's a DVI issue, monitor issue, or something goofy with the Mini's video.
    I did a search and found similar issues, but not exactly the same, and saw no suggested resolutions that fixed them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks ...

    The 9400M device driver on our Macs appears to be really bad.
    My buddy tried to put a Sharp LCD projector on the external port on his Mac laptop, which also had a Nvidia 9400M, and it was not usable. The picture kept coming and going. The projector screen would go blank, then a picture would come up, go blank, and then the picture would come back again, over and over. Being an experienced Mac, PC, and Linux user, I attempted to help him get it working using the display properties page in the System Preferences. Nothing helped.
    I'm having similar troubles with the second port on my 9400M on my new Mac mini.
    The primary display is fine. I have a 24" Acer LCD on the miniport to DVI converter for my second display, and it works most of the time, however the picture goes to snow fairly often, and blacks out sometimes, too. It usually comes back. Occasionally, I have to power cycle the LCD to get the picture back.
    Seeing similar problems with two different DVI display devices, when these devices work fine on our PCs, seems to point the problem at the Mac Nvidia display driver.

  • Choppy Video on MEGA 180

    Hi all,
    I'm suffering from choppy video playback on my MEGA 180. By choopy I mean every ten seconds or so it will freeze up for a split second, the audio stays in sync, but you can slightly tell that the video stops, or skips.
    This happens when watching .avi, DivX or even commercial DVD's. It also happens on my screen saver.
    Since I was using the onboard video I thought I'd try using a video card but the same thing.
    What I can't figure out is what the onboard video and a seperate video card have in common, since it's happening to both.
    My onboard video has the latest drivers, and the PC as a whole is up to date.
    Any suggestions are greatly needed.
    Thanks.

    can you give more information on the hardware you have installed in your Mega 180?
    and can you give more background information; ie how long have you had this system, has it ever worked correctly, did the problem start after you installed any particular software, etc etc...

Maybe you are looking for
