Crossfades don't export smoothly

Hi everyone,
I've got a large multi-track edit of a pipe organ recording. We've edited the piece with cross-fading different takes to make one succinct song. I've found though that once I'm satisfied with my cross-fades, they don't always playback smoothly in a consistent manner. I've found also that they don't export well. When I play a two-track mix of the piece for CD, the edits either don't play smoothly or they have little clicks and pops in them.
Is it a latency issue? Any suggestions as to how to get these to export play smoothly?
Your immediate assistance is greatly appreciated as we need to get a master out quickly for an event.

No, they're each a second long or so. The timeline is merely zoomed out all the way out to show all the edits, which are crossfades into another take.
The creation of the crossfades are not the problem. Playing back the file is typically fine, the problem is exporting the mix. When the multitrack is mixed down to stereo, these transitions are very audible (clicks, pops, etc.) instead of the seamless transitions they should be.
Anyone know why this wouldn't export smoothly over these crossfades? It's never been a problem in Digital Performer or ProTools.
Your urgent response is appreciated. We've got to wrap-up this project.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

Hi! Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

Wild guess: you're using the the wrong export settings. You'll need to tell us more before we can help you - like the export settings you're usng, the size and format of the originals etc.

HD videos don´t run smooth

I am very disappointed to see that HD videos don´t run smooth.
Size is 1280x544 so I expect it to run OK but it´s not the case: it freezes for a second every now and then. Maybe is it the bit rate that is too high. Then what would be the limit?

HD video plays very smooth on mine. I can even play a full 1080p video very smoothly. It really depends on the codec of the video. For example, any 1080p video and trailers downloaded from sony's playstation network run great without and choppy frame, lag, or problems.

Online videos don't play smooth

Hi,
I pretty new to mac and now i have to following problem. I tried to search for an answer but with no result.
If i want to look on youtube or ebaumsworld all the vids don't play smooth at all. The sound is oke, but it's horrible to look at.
I tried mac updates but with no result.
Bith safari and firefox have this issue for me.
Hope anybody can help

What model G4 do you have & how much RAM? Any Mac with a processor speed below 1.25GHz will usually have sync problems between video & audio. A low amount of RAM can also cause the slowness. The stock video card is also a contributor.

.DV and .MOV files don't play smoothly in the Final Cut Express viewer

Hi,
I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 yesterday, so I have no experience with it. I only used iMovies HD 6.0.3 a little before.
Problem:
When I import my .MOV and .DV files into FCE 4.0, then try to watch them in the viewer they don't play smoothly. The sound is fine, but the video is not smooth, it plays in stops and starts.
Just to see, I tried importing a .FLV file and it plays just fine in the viewer, both audio and video runs smoothly with no 'stop starting'
I experimented with importing different file sizes of .DV and .MOV, from 3GB to a few MB even and even very small clips of a few KB. But regardless of the size I always have this problem of them not running smoothly in the viewer.
One of the .MOV files I tried to import was a reference file, and I later read in the manual that FCE may only recognise the original file. But I have the same problem even with the Original file and other self contained files that have been copied from the original. So it doesnt seem to just a problem with reference files.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Is it something to do with how I have FCE set up?
Or is it that the .MOV and .DV files are not being properly imported and is this why they are not running smoothly in the viewer?
I'm using a MacBook with 10.4.11 operating system, which the guys at my local Apple store said would be fine for using FCE 4.0.
Hope someone can help,
Ian.

Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

Don't export blank pages

Hi,
is there a "Don't export blank page" when exporting in PDF?
Thanks
Ben

Thank the Gods, no!
On several occassions, I cursed the engineer who thought it useful to include it into the Print dialog and to enable it by default.
Why would you not want to export blank pages? Disk space is cheap. (Oh alright, when pressed I could --maybe-- come up with a reason.)

Files don't play smoothly when exporting from Final Cut Pro

Hello,
I have this strange problem that's haunting me for weeks (well months now)...
I've made some videos, shot with a HD-camera (Sony, HDV HDR-FX1E (PAL)), 1080i), and I want to export it to the apple TV.
The problem is that the videos on the appleTV dont't run smoothly, they don't really stutter, but they do have a problem, like they're missing a frame...
Now, I don't know what it is, but I tried everything.
I've tried all different settings in
- Compression, like progressive, deinterlacing, keeping the interlacing, changing it to lower field, changing the framerate to 24 fps (as I read somewhere in another post as that 25 fps would be the problem).
- MPEG Streamclip
- ffMPEG
- Visualhub
Well, I even tried it on a PC...
But all with the same result.
Then I tried it to convert the to DV (through the camera). But all with the same result.
So I thought it could be on my footage, but my originals are fine. When playing on my TV they play smoothly, even the edited ones.
When exporting the same edited files to DVD, the DVD plays fine without a hitch, but you can see a downgrade in quality...
The standard conversion settings where:
1280x720 (PAL) @ 25fps, 3 kbs (I started higher, but i downgraded), and then I tried all the above settings...
I also lowered the dimensions, but that didn't work either.
Then I dit a few tests with Handbrake and converted a (home-)DVD and, as to my surprise, I had the same problem!
BUT! The apple TV plays trailers and movies from the store without any problems...
TV is set to 1080i (Sony). But I also tried 720p, 576i, 576p, all with the same effect...
On the tv side... The files are not streamed. They are played directly from the hard disk.
Even though, streamed or directly, the problem stays the same...
I'm really desperate.
If there's anyone who could help, thanks in advance!
Kind regards,

Been trying something else in the meantime...
On a Plextor MediaX, the files play fine and perfect, either in MPEG2 HD (ts), or Xvid HD (avi), on the same TV as the appleTV.
I've encoded them through Xilisofts video-converter (PC) and ffmpeg (Mac).
But still no luck with appleTV and the h264 encodings... The stuttering there remains
Could anyone give me the right settings for PAL and HD? Can I use 25fps?
(Well, the usual settings in Compressor doesn't seem to work, so if anybody has some more advise?)
Or could there be something wrong with my appleTV?
My rentals play fine? I don't understand it...
Well, thanks for your time,
Regards,

I don't think it is a CS4 issue. It seems that exporting using save for web uses the last SFW setting in the GUI. Try doing a normal save for web and make sure that all slices are selected in the slice dropdown. It sounds like it is now set to selected slices ( which would be the last one created )

Edits don't export to flickr/facebook

To elaborate, I'm on Mac OS Mavericks with PSE-10. I can upload to both flickr and facebook, but it uploads the original (.CR2) file. When exporting to Flickr/Facebook, my photos show up as originals, not the edited version, even though the edited version appears in my PSE-10 organizer window. What am I doing wrong? The edits were simple; photos opened in the "white window" (to adjust color, exposure), then clicked "done" to return to the organizer, where they appear in edited form. However, when I export from the organizer to flickr or facebook, the unedited version appeared on those sites. This is most noticeable in a night-shot, where I adjusted the color from 5050 to 3200 to cool the picture. Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

I am guessing here but I suspect that option has been removed as Apple have discontimued iWem and dont want to provide an iWeb function.
Im unable to comment on HTML export as its working for me, but I have not upgraded to the latest version due to the amount of problems it is causing users.

Fireworks CS5 buttons don't export into Dreamweaver S5 correctly

I'm very new to fireworks, I've created a design layout in Fireworks CS5 which I've sliced up but when I export the design to Dreamweaver CS5 HTML, the buttons which I've created in Fireworks lose their functionality apart form seeing them as a link,. On the Dreamweaver side I insert Fireworks HTML into a div tag. Its probaly something very simple (hopefully) that I'm missing, any help?

Any pointers?? Please advise. Thanks.
Yes. Don't allow Fireworks or any graphics editor to create HTML for you. Use Graphics apps for Images ONLY. Save images to your DW Local Site folder. Use DW to build your HTML code, rollovers and menus.

(have adobe premiere elements 10 )

Martin,
Welcome to the forum.
For those supplemental Audio files (the ones not Exporting), what are their formats? Some users have had issues with MP3 files.
When you playback your Timeline, do you hear the Audio, from all Audio Tracks, properly?
When you playback your Timeline, with the Audio Mixer Panel open, do you see the meters behaving correctly?
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,

IMovie '08 don't export on DVCam ??

I've read this. and, testing it, impossible to re-export to the DVCam !!!
Is it possible or not ??
If not , for me, it will be im06 for sure.
I often use im, just for correct, cut, save space and send back to my DV.
I DONT NEED YOUTUBE EXPORT FOR FAMILY NEED, Steve !!!

In addition, I have discovered this on GeeThree website : for your video projects that involve more than a standard dissolve transition, iMovie 6 lives on! When you install iLife '08, a copy of iMovie 6 stays on your system. And if you purchase a new Mac with iMovie '08 (my case) you can get a free download of iMovie 6 here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
So I've done it, and I will use it as far as iM8 does not allow recordinq on DV cassettes...

FW library button behaviors don't export

I created a button (symbol) in FW and exported it to DW as a
library item. In DW, I dragged the button from Assets into the
<td>. When I load the page, the behaviors don't work. Should
I export the button another way? And if so, then why have a library
item if DW won't pick up on the behaviors? Thanks in advance.
Kat

This has been a very frustrating experience. I have spent the
weekend trying to export a library button in FW but I cannot lose
the transparency (even after following the instructions under Halo
in the Help section) if exported as Image & HTML or get the
behaviors to work if I export it as a library item. If FW is
supposed to integrate with DW, why is it so difficult to make it
work like it is supposed to?

Videos don't play smoothly on brand new top spec MacBook Pro

Hi,
I've just bought a brand new MacBook Pro 15 inch retina, upgraded to 2.7ghz processor.
Video content on YouTube and Vimeo is juddering and skipping worse than it does on my 2009 MacBook Pro. It's not smooth at all.
I've had the computer a couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to install anything on it yet (aside from flash player to play the videos), so it's basically as it came from the factory.
Can anyone offer some pointers as to what could be causing this?
Thanks
