CS5 export of H.264 is jerky and twitchy

Hi,
I upgraded to CS5 Suite and am exporting music videos as H.264. Each exported video is jerky and twitchy, the audio is fine, only the video is affected. I've tried several of the presets and created a few of my own all with the same result. Exporting to MOV and WMV works just fine. I exported similar files under CS4 Suite and it worked just fine. Anybody got a cure??
Thanx,
Mel

Thanx for that but I think I sorted it out. I use Sony cameras and the sequince settings that worked well in CS4 do not work well in CS5. I changed the sequence presets that I use and found one that works.

I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

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.
More later.

Stuttering and synch problems after export to H.264

I edited some AVCHD video in Premiere Pro 5.5.0, rendered a 5 minute sequence, and exported to H.264 for Vimeo, using Vimeo's guidelines:
NSTC
1280X720
29.97 fps (as shot)
Progressive
Square pixels
CBR 5 Mbps (tried VBR 1 pass and 2 pass as well, with no difference)
Audio output AAC
44.1 khz (from 48khz original)
320 bps
bitrate precedence (tried frequency precendence first, no help)
The export plays fine in VLC player 2.0.1, but in Quicktime and after uploading to Vimeo, the audio plays well, but the video stutters and is mostly out of synch.
If it makes any difference, MacBook Pro, 9Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.7.3
Any ideas?

Well this is weird, and a likely candidate for the Journal of Irreproducable Results. I deleted the videos from Vimeo last night just before I posted to this forum. I then shut down the computer for the night. Booted up this morning, and the H.264 export played fine in QuickTime, and in VLC. So I uploaded it again to Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/40655208 (password protected, by the way, intended for my client's approval. PW = DIYEFT) and it now seems to play fine.
To say I'm puzzled doesn't begin to describe it. If my internet connection had been slow last night (Time Warner cable, not the quickest out there) that might help explain the sutttering on Vimeo, but it wouldn't explain the similar stuttering in QuickTime.

Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4

Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs.

CS5 - Exporting images and captions to epub

I am exporting an inDesign document to epub and would like to create image captions that stay with their images as the text flows across page breaks.
I am anchoring the images inline to the text, and the images are fine. When it comes to the captions I am grouping the images with manually created captions in text boxes (prior to anchoring). The captions stay with the images while in inDesign, but when exported to epub the captions float separately and onto the next page without their images. And I have tried the built in live/static captions, but am having the same issue.
What are your recommendations for creating captions that stay with the images in an epub?
Thanks!

There is no way to get InDesign to automatically keep captions to images when exporting to epub other than making the caption a part of the image itself.
If you want to keep the caption live text then you have to edit the CSS. How to get this to work depends largely on what devices you plan on publishing your epub to.

QT Export to H.264 Files Crashing FireFox and my Mac Pro

I'm trying to create videos viewable on Apple mobile devices. Using QT Player 10 (114), I did an export and got the m4v file and support other files and the movie works fine on the mobile devices plus Safari. But FireFox crashes HARD, and I can't Force Quit as my Mac Pro is even crashed. I tried again. Crashed again.
Then I tried using QT Player 7 Pro which on export creates a bit more code and parameters, and again Apple devices and Safari work fine, but FF and my Mac crash hard.
I have to hard quit my computer in after trying to open the exported files from QT. Has anyone had this same experience or any advice how to fix this?
Yes, I exported for both iPhone and Computer.
QuickTimeKirk are you around? Have any input? Help!
Thanks,
Steven

I use the same intial settings as I see in the Apple ads Hollywood movies. But get much higher file sizes. What is the trick to getting the same quality and small file size I see in the QT and Apple ads?
Many factors are involved here. Try reading the following document which covers many of the elementary basics.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/h264.html
Once you master these techniques, you can then move on to more advanced strategies which optimize encoding based on changes in the actual scene content (e.g., complexity of motion vectors, lighting, application of editing effects/filters, etc.) and manually keyed into the project by the user. Afraid others would have to help you here as this is beyond my current level of expertise.

Jerky and choppy video

Good morning all!
I'm not sure this is a Final Cut problem, but that's all I use so I'm asking here.
Using FCS3 on a Mac Pro. When I preview a video, everything is fine. But, when I bring the video down to the timeline, it's jerky and choppy. Also, when I export to a Quicktime file the video is not smooth either.
It's only on my machine that this is happening. If I do this on another FCS2 machine, or video the Quicktime video on any other machine (Mac or Win) it's fine.
Seems to me it's something to do with a codec somewhere but I've not the slightest idea where to go looking. I've dumped all the FCS3 preferences and still no good.
All of this started when I upgraded from FCS2 to FCS3. I'm using a Mac Pro with 13GB of RAM and I've got gigatons of free space on all my drives. I'm seeing this problem with video shot on a Nikon D90 in AVI format as well as video shot on a Canon DSLR in their format (forget exact format).
Remember, in the preview, everything looks fine.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Seems to me it's something to do with a codec somewhere but I've not the slightest idea where to go looking.
open any of you files with QT and hit command + I. What does the QT inspector say?
(Alternatively in timeline select a clip and hit command + 9).
If it is a delivery format (like H.264, MPEG etc) then you need to convert
all your material to an editing format like ProRes
Use [MpegStreamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert.

Premiere cc 2014 don't let me export thru media encoder its stop and close the software after few min

premiere cc 2014 don't let me export thru media encoder its stop and close the software after few min

Peferling... I have a positive update! I went to the area that typically made things die. I noticed it was at the tail end of where I inserted a sequence into another sequence. I also noticed I had three tracks in that section with graphics. So I copied all the tracks from the inserted sequence... then removed the inserted sequence and re-inserted the actual tracks. At this point I no longer had an inserted sequence. I then simplified the three tracks of graphics into one. Re-applied my transitions and did last tweaking. I once again tried exporting as H.264 HD... et voila! It worked! Something must have been breaking it.
For now I'm okay and have been able to export into other formats. I want to thank you so much for your input. Regards, Nelson

Final Cut Pro X - Share - Export Media - H.264 - Audio is panned to the left?!

My video has a soundtrack that is a stereo .WAV that I can play in QuickTime with no problem.
I added the .WAV to my FCPX project, exported H.264 of the finished video, and when I play the resulting file in QuickTime, the audio is panned to the left. There is still some stereo separation but it's like the right channel has been turned down. Alternately playing the video and the original .WAV in QuickTime makes it extremely obvious, but it's actually noticeable (and very annoying) even without the comparison.
Does this happen to anyone who exports H.264 via the Share -> Export Media menu item, or is it something in my project? (I didn't do anything to the audio apart from dragging it onto the timeline - I tried deleting the audio and dragging the file back on again but it still ends up panned to the left in the output).

It was set to Surround and 48Khz. I set it to Stereo (and 44.1Khz for good measure, as that is the sample rate of my soundtrack) and then re-exported to H.264, and now the audo is perfectly centered.
So that's perfect, thanks.
Now the only thing wrong with FCPX is how it crashes every ten minutes or so!

Sequence w 23.976 fps exporting as h.264 QT with 22.69fps

I exported an h.264 QuickTime from Premiere Pro CC (Mac). The project/sequence was set to 23.976 fps. The export settings for the QuickTime was also set to 23.976 fps. However, the QuickTime that was created had a frame rate of 22.69fps. I have never had an issue like this before.
I had Premiere add the QuickTime to the project on export. That QuickTime file displayed 23.976 fps in the Premiere Pro Project Panel. However, the same QuickTime is showing as 22.69fps on the QuickTime inspector in QuickTime, as well as a third party application.
The odd thing is, after several attempts with the above set up, sometimes the exported QuickTime has the correct frame rate of 23.976 fps and sometimes the exported QuickTime has a frame rate of 22.69fps (incorrect), so it is not consistent.
I have reported this issue to Adobe. The Adobe tech, via a screen sharing session, also noticed this inconsistency first-hand and agreed there was an issue of some kind.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?

You're using QuickTime. It's buggy.

I can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro

Hi,
I just got the CS5 production DVD's. I only installed AE on my macbook pro osx 10.6.8.
When I go to export my project/composition I only have 3 options, i can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro.
Where are the options to export as a quicktime movie and all the others?
Do I have to install the entire suite for these options to appear?
If so, why?
Thanks,
Jason

Render Queue.
More importantly, for the newly initiated, some time spent here would go a long way.

Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
2. You can use AE's full power to render.
3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
This workflow actually saves time for many people.
And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
Frank VA wrote:

They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.

Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

Flash CS5: Export SWC doesn't work

Could anyone help me with this problem. I have Flash CS5 and I'm trying to export SWC from it to use as a library with Flex SDK (FlashDevelop). I have "Export SWC" checked in publish settings and for a while it worked. Now, even if it still is checked, SWC isn't created (at least in the same directory as SWF). I even tried creating a completely new FLA and copied everything from the old library in there. Still it doesn't work.

I periodically run into this issue too. I tried various 'voodoo' practices like:
removing old versions of the exported files first
reverting to "Use Default Names" on the Formats tab
adding HTML as a Type
removing HTML as a Type
un-checking "Include XMP metadata"
But I still haven't found out what makes or breaks the magical SWC export...
I'm using Flash CS5 Professional 11.0.2.489 on a PC
Publishing as AS3, Player 10
The .fla is quite large, 7,200 KB,
The resulting .swf is 1,808 KB...
still no swc...
Anyone else have any tips on this issue?

Premiere Pro CS5 Export taking a very long time

Hello there.
I have a project that is taking a very, very long time to export. It's 45 minutes long and usually projects that long only take about 7 hours, whereas this one has been going for 6 hours and says it has 15 hours remaining.
I'm not sure what information to give. My footage is AVCHD and I'm exporting to H.264 for the web. My project, scratch disks and media are all on a RAID drive and I'm using an iMac 2009.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

No, all I have is the original footage, color corrected, with one music track and a watermark.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).
