Compressor won't export a clip selection

I'm having difficulty exporting a portion of my FCP X project to Compressor 4. When I select a portion of my clip, Compressor 4 exports the entire project.
Any ideas?

Yes - it's a sadly missed feature.
There are several workarounds. Duplicate the project and then delete the unwanted material and export. Then if you want to, you can use Ctrl+Z to get everything back as it was (it helps to keep backups by duplicating a project fairly regularly anyway).
There are other ways, but this seems to be about the best.
As I said, a workaround, but that's what we're stuck with for now.

How can you export a clip selection from FCPX to motion? Round tripping?

How do you export a clip selection out of FCP into Motion? In Motion, you have the option of exporting a selection out of motion? I don't understand why FCPX does not have this functionality. I do not want to export an effect or transition. FCPX is good, but it looks like the application team have no clue about workflows. Especially integration between FCP and Motion.

Not sure if you are asking a question or having a rant .. also not sure what your point is about it being 2013 ? Roundtripping is not in these apps .. sold for very little (relative to FCS which did roundtripping) and most of the functionality used daily from Motion is now in FCPX in one way or another. Perhaps it would be a 'handy' but to highlight this as some BIG deal is a tad missing the point ... .
What exactly is it you cannot do in FCPX and need to send to Motion to work on ?
These may help you with the basics of new compound clips ...

Compressor won't export my bluray no matter what I do.

I've used compressor repair, and I've used both a reference file and a self contained file. Within seconds of submitting it estimates it will take around 20 hours to export, when it usually only takes 8-9 hours. The export either gets stuck on waiting, or progresses a couple percent and "pauses". I should mention, I've used the same exact file to burn a DVD successfully....but bluray just doesn't work. I have always had success with burning blu rays in the past, and now the past 2-3 projects I haven't been able to.
I desperately need an answer, my clients depend on it.

1. Exactly how did you uninstall iTunes? (It can't be done!)
2. What happens when you attempt to connecg? Any messages?
3. Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

Compressor won't export in MPEG-2.

Hi,
I'm using FCP 4.5 HD to edit a film shot with the Panasonic HVX200 and P2 cards. So far everything went pretty well, except I wasn't able to ingest the P2 files — I found a workaround solution by converting the .MXF files into .MOV files).
So I now have a 720HD .MOV teaser that I wish to export in MPEG-2 for DVD burning.
However, everytime I try to export through compressor, I get a message that says "can't process in background".
I tried to export the HD movie into a DV movie and then export in MPEG-2, but it won't work either: I still get this "can't process in background" message. I cannot export to MPEG-2 using Quicktime either...
Is there a way around that problem or am I doing something wrong?
Thx,
Jeff

I've done my "homeworks".
I read various yet often quite similar posts about Compressor, which doesn't work properly with Leopard (Compressor 2.3 and later would work better, if I understand correctly) and found out there wasn't much I could do to fix this bug...
I also read an Apple article about this problem: I did remove the Compressor files from the frameworks and receipts folders and reinstalled as indicated, but to no avail.
I'll try to get a used copy of Final Cut Studio, so I can get a more recent version of Compressor (as well as more recent versions of Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, etc.), which should solve the problem. I just can't afford a brand new product right now (indie cinema is very expensive — editing is no problem, so output will have to wait until I generate more funds to cover the expense).
Until then, I'll export using Toast... I know, the available menu templates are... well they're just plain bad. But it works fine, so it will be okay for a while.
Don't hesitate to post your suggestions if you have any: they'll be most welcome.
Thanks,
Jeff

Can't export some clips, can others, Compressor failing me

I've been exporting a large series of clips from FCP HD using compressor. I didn't have a problem with the first 15 or so clips. Now, I can't get my remaining sequences to export. Each time I try I get a notification in compressor that the export failed citing Quicktime Error 27.
I switched to exporting using Quicktime and everything stops exporting at 4GB. Also, if I try to move a file between an external hard drive and the desktop or in any other way where it is switching drives, it fails when it reaches the 4GB mark.
I don't know what happened in the middle of all this exporting but I have around 8 more sequences that need to be exported at a very high quality. They need to be .mov files in the end and most are in the neighborhood of 6GB.
I haven't found anything on the FCP, Compressor, or Quicktime boards that comes close to explaining my problem. Please let me know what I might be able to do to get these clips out of FCP HD and get Compressor working.
Thanks,
Scott

b here are 3 external drives in use. The original footage is one one, I was exporting to a second, filled that one and started exporting to a third.
Make sure that all the LaCie FW drives have been formatted MAC OS EXTENDED you can check that using "GET INFO" command on each drive.
If you want to delete your preferences download an app called FCP RESCUE, works great.
http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
Make sure to get the proper version for your version of FCP.
If you want to export with the best quality you can for want you have in the timeline, just use Export Quick Time Movie and and select USE CURRENT SETTINGS and Make Movie Self Contained.

Why can't I export only a selected clip?

I am a teacher. I used to record all the kids in a class doing a certain task, and then select the clip of each child and export each child as a separate QuickTime movie. We upgraded machines and now for the life of me I cannot figure out how to export only a selected clip in iMovie '08. Any help appreciated!

Make a separate Project for each child.
Drag the clip of that child into the project. Then Share to whatever format you choose.

EDL won't export in source mode

Hey, I'm trying to export an EDL in timecode order and it simply won't work. I select source mode, and it keeps giving it to me in master mode. Any thoughts?

Not sure if this is your problem, but you can have problems with edls is you have elements that don't have a source reel, such as files imported into fcp (audio files, picts, etc) and clips captured without device control. You can add a source tape name in the browser to any clips and this may help solve the problem.

Exporting multiple clips at one time

Hi, My school has asked me to convert old videos onto DVD media for archiving and for distribution amongst all teachers in my department. Yes I am sure some will mention legal stuff here but the videos are no long made and what we have is being held together with cellophane tape or cracking laserdisc videos (remember those?).
So far I have been able to import all the videos into iMovie. Each clip is about 1 minute or less in duration. I am now exporting one clip at a time into the requested WMV format but I can only export 1 clip at a time and I have several hundred to to. Is there a way to select multiple clips and export them one at a time without me having to select and export on clip at a time?
thanks in advance now back to exporting....

Never mind I am doing it one clip at a time. The school seems really happy about this since these video discs are no longer available for repurchase. Thanks.

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

FCP won't export M2V

I am running FCP Studio and trying to export an m2v. I recently upgraded my G5 and basically put my old hard drives right into the new G5 box. Since I did that, FCP asked for a serial number again, and I entered it. OK. Now I am trying to export the Mpeg2 and it says it can't export until DVD studio Pro is serialized - but then I run DVD studio pro and it IS serialized and registered. Restart did not fix it. FCP just can't seem to tell that DVD studio pro is already serialized and won't export. Should I trash my preferences? FCP or DVD studio pro or both? Any suggestions?

FYI....
Trying to uninstall DVD Pro and then re-installing it will not work! I ran through this problem when I upgraded to FCP Studio. The issue lies between DVD Pro and QT7, it is a bug that apple is currently trying to resolve.
I spent numerous hours on the phone with apple to get this issue resolved. The best work around at the moment is going through Compressor and making a M2V. Compressor will retain your chapter markers from FCP no worries.
The only issue is time, it takes longer using compressor but the quality is 100x better because you have more control of the VBP.
Good Luck

Export to Clip Notes

Hi
When I try to export to clip notes After Effects freezes and trying to select anything gives me the 'ping' noise. The only way out of this is then to close the program down from the windows task list.
Anything?????
thanks

I never used Clip Notes myself, but I did a quick search, and came up with the following:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=clip+notes&siteSection=home&loc=en_us
There are no Clip Notes references in this list beyond AE9 (aka CS4). I suspect that the application was not retained in later versions. If you have any intentions of upgrading software beyond AE 9, I don't think I'd get in the habit of relying on Clip Notes.
If I'm wrong about this, an Adobe employee will most certainly set me straight.

Pages won't export to Word

Running latest Pages in latest Lion on a new iMac. When I try to export to Word, I get an error message: "The file format is invalid."
A Word doc IS actually created, but it has all Comments stripped out...making it utterly useless to me. I've tried uninstalling iWork 09, restarting the iMac, then reinstalling (and re-upgrading) iWork 09 from the original disc, but no love -- it just won't export a Word file with Comments.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!
Barry

Well, I tried export to Word before saving the document in Pages. It worked fine! I didn't finalize the changes in any way. I could open the .doc document and it still showed the changes and comment field.
I think something is corrupt in your document. You could select the content and paste into a new blank template and save it and then export to a Word document. Then undo all changes in the original document to the point you started the changes and copy and paste into a new document and give it a different name. Now you have a before and after the changes and hopefully the corruption didn't get copied over.
