Cs 5.5 low quality exported avi file

i imported a avi file and recorded audio clips to voice over the avi.  the original avi file was a screen capture using Camtasia software.  when i edited the avi file i had to make cuts and copy and past and sometimes stretch the avi to accomodate the voice overs.  so after all is said and done the exported file looks like crap and you can't read the words or make out the transistions.  How can i improve the quality of the avi on export?  please help

As Harm alludes, AVI can contain almost anything. Take a look at this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
For Camtasia footage, see this article, and especially Jeff Bellune's comments in the linked threads: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2324919#2324919 There are many references to earlier versions of PrPro, but most will apply to CS 5 and later.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Why does Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?
    but when I watch Youtube video, there are avi file format option in CS6!!!!!!!
    Can anybody help me?
    WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Flash uses the Adobe Media Converter to create the video output. If you select the "Use Media Converter" option after selecting to output to Quicktime, and, if your computer has the AVI codec installed, you should be able to export to an AVI file.

  • Low quality exports as .wmv files

    Hello,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4/Windows XP.
    I've seen a couple other posts relating to this subject, but was wondering if someone could advise me on the best way to export to achieve a 320x240 wmv file. I'm scaling down from an avi file, edited with chroma key so I could replace the background.
    I tried some of the NTSC Source export settings, but was unable to open the exported wmvs on my computer. The only setting that seems to work is the Zune Video setting, which specifically exports to the size I need. However, the quality is not very good.
    Will I ever be able to achieve a wmv file that matches the quality of H264/mp4? We're using a webcast service which requires us to upload either wmv or flv videos, so are rather limited.
    If anyone can recommend the best settings, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thank you,
    Christine

    hiya,
    might as well post this here....
    Bill...just did wmv export for youtube ( sample as per other thread )
    to bring into focus for this post...I am putting my project settings too...basically I matched the project settings except for the audio going down to 44khz from 48...  I coulda kept that at 48khz...
    IF THIS was interlaced I would check the box that says " allow interleaving "...
    IF THIS was interlaced that I want to export progressive I would check "deinterlace" and NOT have allow interleaving" checked....also I would make the progressive dimensions roughly HALF of the interleaved size...cause you lose half the vertical resolution going from interleaved to progressive.
    In my sample for youtube I really crank up the bitrate... seems to work well....as it gets converted by youtube...
    added some youtube screens also, reference how to upload the video to that place...for Bill ----
    NOTE: The settings put you into a custom mode...where you are choosing all your settings..not a preset ...

  • Export AVI files to iMovie

    Hello, sorry for my english,
    I'm getting mad...
    I have an avi file with following parameter:
    DivX 4 (Perian), 720 x 480, Milioni
    MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
    29,97 FPS
    it's about 600 MB
    I would like to import it in iMovie, so I try to export it as iMovie doesn't like this format...
    I really don't know what export format should I choose in order to:
    - Keep same quality
    - Keep quite same dimension
    I tried so many ways but I get either urgly video quality or dimension like 60GB !!!
    What am I missing ?

    iMovie is meant for camcorder imports = very few 'formats' supported, divx is not.
    use Mpeg Streamclip (hey, Italian invention!! ) to convert into dv-stream, NTSC, 48kHz audio, 29.97 framerate.
    1h of such an encoded file is about 13GBs..
    don't forget to set iMovie to NTSC/29.97 fps either!
    (changes take effect after relaunch of iMovie!)
    otherwise, iM will convert it again.. to PAL ..
    dv-stream is iM≤6 native format - as from miniDV camcorders..

  • Low quality export for stop motion animation stills from Canon 5D Mark ii

    Thank you very much beforehand to anyone who is willing to look through this issue, it's been a long and frustrating process so far...
    I am attempting to put together a stop motion animation in Final Cut Express but my exports are always either low quality, or medium quality and stretched. I am shooting on a Canon 5D Mark ii set to take pictures at 21M 5616x3744 [999] (though I'm not entirely sure what the 21M or 999 mean).
    When I first assembled my stills (unedited or altered in any way) and exported, it looked like this:
    A relatively drastic loss in colour and quality. This was achieved exporting through quicktime conversion using the following settings:
    Compression Type: H.264
    Compressor Quality: Best
    Size: 1920x1080 HD
    Preserve aspect ratio using: Crop
    Deinterlace source video: unchecked
    Unhappy with the result, I went through hours of testing and researching which only yielded a result after I discovered the control-Q Easy Setup menu. I tried setting up as an apple intermediate codec using HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 at 29.97 fps. I kept the export settings the same as above, but knowing that I was now working with a canvas that keeps to the 16:9 proportions, I tried cropping one of my stills in photoshop to fit that 16:9 ratio.
    I then imported my 16:9 cropped still and an unedited JPEG version from my camera and exported the resulting 10 second video. The result was better quality, but still noticeably degraded from the original stills. More importantly, both the cropped 16:9 and the unedited JPEG were stretched out of proportion as seen below (16:9 version):
    Of course I forgot to note the original settings on Easy Setup so I can't figure out how to get back to the original lower quality, yet undistorted image (not that I want to do that). I tried numerous different sizes for the export including changing the Crop (when necessary) setting to letterbox. Nothing worked.
    The canvas, however, immediately looked 100% better after switching the Easy Setup to HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 at 29.97 fps. It held the improved quality without distorting the image:
    I'm not sure if there's any hope of having a great image quality, but at very least I would like to be able to export at the decent quality of the second screenshot without the stretching and cropping.
    I need to have this resolved ASAP for work, I've already wasted too much time here. Any help is so appreciated, I'll be active in providing whatever additional information that I can to responders, though please keep in mind that I'm relatively new to all this, I don't know where to find everything

    I've decided just to try to get back to the export that I showed in the first screenshot. That result came before I started tampering with the Easy Setup. Like I said, when I changed the setup the canvas quality improved drastically and the dimensions seemed to fit much better, but the export was vertically stretched and cropped. I just reset my FCE settings and it turns out the default setup is DV-NTSC, but it's giving me a terrible quality still...
    I just want to get back to that second screenshot's quality.. Could someone suggest what I should switch the easy setup to for importing stills from my Canon 5D Mark ii to yield the right results?

  • Aperture crashes upon trying to play video. Exporting .AVI file wont play.

    Hi,
    I uploaded my holiday pictures and 4 videos into Aperture and when I try to play the videos I get pretty bad beachball with no playback of the video. When I export the file I am presented with a SAM_xxx.AVI file. (SAM from Samsung camera). I have tried to play the file with Quicktime, VLC & MPlayer X. I ran the 4 files through DivFix++ and I am given the error, "Input file is not .avi"
    Any thoughts as to whats going on? Aperture shows a thumbnail for the videos and VLC shows correct length but no playback.
    Thanks

    I have both an iPad and iPhone connected to my Mac. I disconnected both, then restarted my Mac and Safari. No improvement. Used Lion Recovery System to reload Lion. Interesting thing, Safari 5.1.7 was installed rather than Safari 6. This made me happy, as Safari 6 has been nothing but trouble for me. When I opened Safari, it took me back to apple.com, even though my homepage is yahoo.com. I was immediately confronted with the infamous Steve Jobs video, that has crashed my computer every time it's popped up on my screen. This time, however, it didn't crash ... I just got the spinning beachball for about 30 seconds, then the Quicktime thermometer at the bottom started moving and I was sure it was going to work. After the thermomter passed about one-fourth of the way over, the screen blanked and the Quicktime thermometer started all over again. This behavior persisted until I got tired of it and went to my home page. However, I can open Quicktime and watch videos again, even the YouTube ones that were crashing every time. Now I just have to figure out how to never let a Software Update stick me with Safari 6 ever again. If it does, I'm simply through with it and will make Firefox my default browser. Thank you so much for getting me this far. I will keep monitoring these discussions to see if Apple ever gets Safari 6 to the point that I'll give it another trial.

  • Export avi file

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export an AVI file in fcp 4. But the result is that the movement is not 'flowing'. Wich settings do I have to use.
    Thanks,
    Mable
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm working in pal and I want to export a 20 min
    movie as a AVI file. I tried several settings but the
    movement isn't 'flowing'. What's the best setting:
    Cinepak or DVpal, how many frames etc.
    Cinepak is an old compression method. You are better off using one of MPEG-4 algorithms.
    Since you are in Europe, the best frame rate will be probably 25. But it all depends on what you are exactly working on and how your client uses it.
    I tried to play the .AVI on a Mac and a PC, and on
    both computers the movie wasn't playing smoothly.
    Simply, reduce the video bitrate.

  • Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

    Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
    I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
    Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
    It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
    also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
    Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.
    Message was edited by: tlsolutions

    Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
    QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

  • Quicktime exporting AVI files

    At Videography Lab we are testing the Pentax Optio W30 and W60 cameras. Both are waterproof but the W60 has a wider lens which we prefer. Unfortunately in upgrading their camera, Pentax moved from a native Quicktime movie to an AVI.
    We had gotten quite happy with Quicktime Pros quick edit trimming capability. So we started opening the AVI files with Quicktime Pro and trimming. Than when we were finished we Save As . . . and only get the Quciktime Movie format.
    We would like to save them as AVI files. One reason is that Windows XP gives a key frame for AVI movies but only a Q logo for Quicktime movies.
    So is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?

    is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?
    What KIND of AVI file. AVI is just a wrapper. Many of the newer cameras use some form of mpg-4 codec in the AVI files. Open the file in the Quicktime player and do a "Window>Show Movie Properties". What video and audio CODEC are shown?
    BTW, I use VisualHub to work with my problem AVI files on the Mac side.

  • Is there a way to export .avi files to .mp4 en masse in Quicktime Pro?

    Hiya.
    What I've been doing for some time now is taking the .avi movie files my Canon camera creates, and exporting them as h264 .mp4 files which cuts the file size by more than half with minimal quality loss. But at this moment, I have almost 100 video files that I would like to do and this process would be much, much, better if I could que them up.
    Can you do this in Quicktime Pro and if not, another program?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    This can also be done with SimpleMovieX.

    Note that I'm the developer of this application. It may not be as free as MPEG Streamclip, but at least it's supported.

  • IMovie crashing during export. Only works with ultra low quality exports.

    I'm using the most recent version of iMovie with the mid-2011 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and a 500GB Hybrid HDD with over 200GB free. I have a project and everytime I go to export it beyond the "Mobile" version I get several different errors. If I try a "Large" or "720p" export, the software crashes and I get this error:
    "Process:         iMovie [908]
    Path:            /Applications/iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie
    Identifier:      com.apple.iMovieApp

    If I try exporting with 1080p, I get a message saying "unable to prepare project for publishing."
    This just about stays consistant no matter what medium I use to export the project, I've tried exporting to different sources and it doesn't work, I've tried exporting directly to YouTube, I've tried exporting to a various different types of Quick Time format. Nothing works.
    I've restarted the project and built from scratch with several different files used, nothing works. It is seeming consistat with the different projects I have and hasn't worked for months now. I need a solution asap.
    Any reccomendations?
    Thanks

    Thanks guys!
    I will try your suggestions right now, so, In order to be sure that I will not f**** up my project during the process:
    1)   Do a backup of my whole project, which only (?) consists in dragging/copying my "Event file" (Library) to the USB3 External Drive.
    2) Delete Pref's with "Pref Manager"
    2**) If the problem continues, delete FCPX / Fresh re-install it, using http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    3) Just drag & drop the "Event Folder" (37,59GB) from my External Hard Drive, to a new Libary.
    Is this it?
    I would also like to know:
    All my purschased Effects/LUT's/Plugins, if I must Delete & Fresh install, will I have to install them all again one by one?
    Would it be useful to ask for a Genius Bar appointment, before trying all this, or not worth it?
    THANKS!

  • Problem exporting avi files to Flickr

    Hi,
    I'm using iphoto '09 and I have a pro subscription on Flickr. When uploading one of my albums to Flickr which contains a few small avi videos (I'm talking of duraitons no longer than a couple of minutes) in amongst the photos, when I look at the set on Flickr the videos are just photos (the thumbnails of the video in iphoto). Any idea why this happens? Incorrect video format? iPhoto/Flickr simply doesn't let you do this? Does a newer version of iPhoto allow it?
    Thanks,
    Ali.

    Thanks. I feared as much...
    It's actually easier if I just locate the videos through the flickr upload dialogue box. I just look for Media > Photos > My album

  • Replacing lower quality files with better files on iTunes Match

    I have an iTunes library that is years old so some of the music files are of a lower quality than the files that are now on Match.  Rather than ripping these CDs again to iTunes, is there a way of replaceing the old files with the Match files on iCloud?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Hi,
    If the tracks are match, you can delete the original and download the upgraded version. If the track is uploaded, you will need to rerip your CDs to get better quality.

  • Exporting .dv files to supported files types for Windows Movie Maker

    I am digitizing all of my friends' family videos with iMovie and I now have them all as Apple .dv files. Unfortunately some of my freinds do not have Macs, so I must convert them. There are many options for converting .dv files to formats that Windows Movie Maker can import, but every combination of wrapper and codec I have tried has either resulted in low quality or results in a size that it is at least double. Because these are family memories I do not want to lose quality compared to the Apple Mac .dv files that I have. On the other hand, I would prefer not to double the file size for the same quality that I had.
    What converter do you recommend and what combination of wrapper (mpeg4, avi, mov, etc.) and codec (h264, jpeg, etc.) can convert Mac .dv files into full resolution files for Windows Movie Maker?
    What I have tried:
    I was advised by Applecare to try DivX converter, but it does not accept .dv files. I have been trying Mpeg Streamclip with the following combinations:
    exporting to AVI with DivX Codec seemed low quality
    exporting to AVI with H.264 was not readable by Windows Movie Maker
    exporting to AVI with Apple Photo JPEG Codec was more than twice the orginal .dv file size
    Thanks.

    mkl111 wrote:
    ...  There are variants of dv files and .. .
    best to my knowledge - no.
    .dv is a standard, created by movie-cams. iMovie handles this codec 'natively'.
    only allowed differences are PAL and NTSC …
    I copied a zillion .dv files without processing/editing directly from the Events folder onto a fat32-formatted HDD.
    but even edited movies are compatible: Export using Quicktime and in the drop down DV-STREAM ...
    afaik, in Movie Maker you have to choose 'Import file'  - done.
    sorry, no idea which of the hundred of versions of WMM is in use on the other side of the street
