Creating a wmv file?

I sometimes need to supply wmv files of videos created in FCP to folks.  What's the best way to covert a .mov to a high quality .wmv?
Thanks.

Flip4Mac.
It is a plug in that will give you the option of generating WMV files out of Compressor and/or FCP.
There are a number of levels of Flip. The least expensive option works for simple stuff. If you need more complex options, spend more money for the higher level offerings.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

  • Using QT to create a wmv file - can I include a live link?

    I'm using QT to create a wmv file. I'd like to be able to include a live link in the movie. Is this possible?

    Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum. You might also try asking in the Flip4Mac forums (I presume you're using the Flip4Mac codecs to do the WMV export).
    Regards.

  • Proxies not created for WMV files

    One of my FCSrv installs is having difficulty with .wmv files. The system has Flip4Mac Pro installed, and if you open the files directly, or even use the "view" popup in the FCS client on that system, the clips play fine. Also, in column view I see the previews. However, server doesn't create poser frames or thumbnails on scan, and the clip proxy transcode jobs stall (progress bar in Search all Jobs doesn't move) I was under the impression that if Quicktime on the server could play it, Final Cut Server could transcode it.

    WMV is not native to APPLE thus is is trying to upscale to a MOV.

  • Can't create a movie file (wmv)

    Whe I try to create a wmv file the process freezes and eventually gives an error message saying the file cannot be created.  Then it closes the program.

    Which version of PSE you are on?
    Please try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408940.html
    As a first step, you can try running Organizer directly from its exe in c:\program files or program files x86\adobe\elements organizer Ver\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe by right clicking it >> run as Admin. Now try taking slideshow output. Keep all background processes turned off from Edit >> Pref >> Media Analysis, while taking output.

  • Can't Burn WMV file created by Premier Elements 8

    I organized a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 8 which then opened Adobe Premier 8. Adobe Premier 8 created a .WMV file of slide show. I have tried to burn the .WMV file using Ashampoo Burning 8. Ashampoo runs but in the end annouces DVD burn has failed. I can burn a CD so I dont think its Plextor drive. Ashampoo tech seems to be of no help. Am wondering if anyone else has trouble burning WMV files of slideshows?

    Thanks again.
    I did as you suggested and I'm basically back to where I started.
    I outputted a Pr8 slideshow to PrE.  I then burned the slideshow onto a DVD using the "share" function at PrE. 
    It is incredibly slow -- takes about 3 hours -- but it did burn the DVD.  I did this before on earlier versions of Elements (Pr6, I think), and now I remember why I stopped doing it. 
    The resulting DVD is not acceptable.  Two main problems. 
    First, instead of smooth, continuous panning and zooming, every single slide, after the fade transition, is still, and then it jerks into panning and zooming. 
    Second, the overall quality is not so great.  Lots of shimmer/jiggle during the panning and zooming, and a lot of general mushiness.  Text I've inserted onto slides often has really mushy edges.  I've completely given up trying to use a shadow color behind text because even though it looks good in the preview when I'm making the slideshow, on screen using the DVD, it just compounds the problem of the mushiness.
    We have a brand new, high-end HP computer with Windows 7 with all programs and drivers fully updated, so I don't think there is a problem outside Adobe.
    Because PrE generated DVDs that weren't so good (sorry) , I started saving the Pr8 slideshows as .wmv files and then trying to use Roxio to burn the .wmv file onto a DVD using its encoding.  Roxio generated one DVD that way that worked very well:  much sharper quality photos and text and smooth, continuous panning and zooming, but then Roxio started generating error messages at the end of the DVD-creation process and Roxio tech support tells me it is an unsolvable problem, so they're refunding my money. 
    I prefer Adobe anyway and only tried Roxio because of the problems with Adobe DVDs mentioned above.
    So, is there any other way I can go about this within Adobe that will help solve the pan-zoom and mushiness problems?
    I really appreciate your help.  It takes me many hours to create these slideshows of family vacations and it's very frustrating to then end up not being able to generate the end product - a quality DVD - at the end.

  • Uploading a wmv file using del.interoute?

    Hi there
    I created a wmv file through Final Cut and uploaded it using yousendit.com as I always do. However the client says that those kind of links dont work on their sites and they need to be like 'del.interoute.com'
    Does anyone have a clue what this is? I've googled it thinking it would be like yousendit.com but it isnt. I've asked people in the know, who dont know. And I am stumped. I'm probably being super dumb right now, but can anyone shed any light on this.
    I've emailed the client a few times about it, but I dont want to seem completely clueless.
    Thank you in advance.

    tell your clients that liking to a video on the site has nothing to do with the type of movie file you use. As long as it lives on a server that can be accessed, they can post a link to it. Now, they may want a streaming movie, not a downloading movie, in which case you would have to make sure you set it up that way, but still, they need to have a streaming server. They may also have a computer without said codec installed in the browser. So they need to tell you exactly what codec, bit rate, and image size to encode at. It's not your job to guess.
    I just tried to go to that del.interoute.com, and there is no such site. So I don't know what king of voodoo it is. I found several video with it as the link type, but I am guessing you can't actually access the server, but sites can embed the files into their own site. So type in del.interoute and go to the first site that has video options to watch. Wait til one loads fully, then do a "save as source" and open the file in QT to inspect the settings. Then create your movie that way.

  • Corrupt WMV files

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premere Elements 8. I have created a slide show with various music clips. The slide show is about 25 minutes long. After completing the slide show in Elements, I went to output and selected burn to DVD. It then opened Premere Elements where it created a WMV file. This is where the problem occurs. I have tried many times to successfully create the WMV file and every time it either deletes some of the music or skips one of the slides leaving a black space. Each time it is a different type of corrupt file. I go back to Elements and check to make sure the source file is still good and it is. I have also had problems where I have created a successful slide show in Elements and saved it and then opened it the next day to find half of the music gone. That has not been the case however, when the WMV files become corrupt. I would appreciate any information on the cause and how to remedy this problem as well as the problem where my source file deletes some of the music when I reopen it in Elements.

    Try creating the slideshow with Premiere Elements.There is an option to do this in Elements Organizer

  • PSE 5 and creating  WMV file

    I hope someone can help me as Adobe will not because they do not support version 5.  They suggested I ask the forum.  I am receving the following error message "an error has occured while writing the slide show to to WMV. The WMV file has not been created." I am trying to create a slide show of pictures to burn to DVD.  I have Windows Vista with microsoft IE.

    What types of clips are you using to create the  slide show. If the image size more than 1000 x 750 . Please reduce the files size and  import the  images. Do you installed any other video editing software. Please uninstall that softwares and try to export from PSE 5.

  • Creating WMV files

    I would like to know the best way to creat WMV files with a Mac. I need to be able to put my video presentations on my HP Ipaq that only excepts WMV files for video.

    an easy way that I noticed is that when you "right click" the document go to "get info" and change the name so that it's not a .m4p or the quicktime file and change it to a .wmv

  • PSE 8 - recurring error creating WMV file

    I'm in Windows Vista Business using PSE 8 but with PRE 8 available but not in play here.
    I have successfully created one slideshow and saved it to an 8GB ur drive using high quality output and saving the file as wmv. at 800x600.  It only took up about 350 megs of the drive.
    When trying a second slideshow with fewer slides of about the same size +/-, I continually get the message headlined by Windows Media File Server -- "An error has occurred writing the s/s to WMV. The WMV file has not been created."  I have tried both at 1024x768 and 800x600.  Same message.  I also tried a different  and unused thumb drive.  Same thing.  This all takes place within the Slide Show Editor of PSE 8 with no apparent involvement of PRE 8.
    Help anyone?

    What types of clips are you using to create the  slide show. If the image size more than 1000 x 750 . Please reduce the files size and  import the  images. Do you installed any other video editing software. Please uninstall that softwares and try to export from PSE 5.

  • Creating (sharing) a video with a sound-track as .wmv file,  no sound track. Any ideas?

    I'm a new user, and I have imported a video file (created by PowerPoint, and a sound-track (created by Cubase software from Steinberg.
    When I view the video within Premiere Elements it's all there - video and audio both. However, when I try to create an external .wmv file (Publish+Share), I don't get any audio.
    Set up is Windows PC running Windows XP SP3, with 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GByte hard drive. Premiere Elements version is 11.0
    What I'm doing:
    I imported the input video file and dropped it on the main Video1 timeline. Then I dropped the finished sound-track on Audio 1. When I click Play, I hear the sound-track and see the video. To Publish+Share, I select Computer from the drop-down menu. Then, in the location and settings list I select Windows Media.I choose 720*480 pixels, 4:3 aspect ration and 29.97 frames per second. In the Advanced.. panel, I make certain that Export Video and Export Audio are both checked. Ther dialog box reports that it will create a 174 MByte file, with 440 kbps/ 96 kHz audio in a 2-channel configuration.
    So I click Save, and the program hems and haws for about 34 minutes, and says it's done. All I get is the video - in a 16.414 MByte file (the original input file, also .wmv was only 9.1 MBytes), so something must have happened. However, all I get is video, and no sound-track.
    I'm totally convinced that the problem lies between my ears, but I'd like to hear someone provide some guidance. I've missed the deadline for an important project, and I don't want to slip any further :-(

    Let us back track through the details.
    Premiere Elements 11 on Windows XP 32 bit.
    What are the video compression and file extension of the file created in PowerPoint? What version PowerPoint? What is the frame size and frame rate?
    What are the audio compression and file extension (mp3 or .wav) of the audio created with this Cubase software? Are you dealing with mono, stereo, or 5.1 channel?
    From your description, it sounds like you are letting version 11 set the project preset for you. What is it setting? We can find that out from the reading under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General - Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if the fields appear to be grayed out.
    If you import your .wmv export back into the Premiere Elements project, do you see content in both the video and audio tracks? If so, do both play back when you press the play button of the Edit area monitor?
    Have you checked Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO and have you checked out your audio in the Edit area with the Audio Meter opened to verify sound level? See Window Menu/Audio Meters.
    Is the problem confined to this PowerPoint video and Cubase audio? What happens if you try this with a video from your camera and soundtrack from one of the SmartSound soundtracks?
    Please review the above and then let us know the answers to the questions.
    Thank you.

  • How to create clips in old WMV files

    Hi
    I have lots of old wmv files created with movie maker 5 years ago.  Can i import/add them into premiere elements and then somehow automatically split them into clips based on scene change or time/date chage etc.?  If so how do i do this, i'm struggling to find help documents about this and i dont have time to manually go through every single file  and split them.  
    Also is there a way i can easily improve the quality of these files, they seem very pixelated when i play them in Pr elements.
    thanks for any help you can provide.

    >improve the quality of these files
    Not really... WMV is a highly compressed file, and once a file has been compressed, there is no way to bring back that lost information
    As for the rest... some reading (and, you did not state your PreElements version, so info for all recent versions)
