Digital noise flashes in video when exporting a Quicktime.

FCP 6.06 - When exporting an SD QT for use in IDVD, I end up with flashes of multicolor video noise that is one or two frames long. Happened most recently four times in a thirty minute video. Source video is a variety of SD formats, Mini DV and DV/DVCPro. Anyone else see it or know who to fix it?

They are on the export. When I export again, they are in different places. Usually I can get a clean export after two or three tries if I bring the QT in and replace the glitches with the original timeline. Not an optimal fix I know. I have tried it with two different macs so the problem must be in the external drives or the cables as you suggest. This is an ongoing, years long contract and the media is spread over 5 drives.
I guess my next move would be to figure out if the glitched scenes all come from one specific drive or cable chain. Make sense?
Or I could spend money and consolidate all of the footage on one new modern Firewire 800 drive to go with my new Mac. Business doesn't quite allow too many expenditures right now unfortunately.

Having problems with audio and video when exporting to quicktime

I've exported a couple of keynote presentations to Quicktime and uploaded to youtube with no problems. I've now added a motion background in my intro, which looks great in keynote, but, it would appear that it causes problems. The mov file does play the animation, but, not as it was recorded, the audio then becomes out of sync and the advance on slides is all over the place with some not appearing. Is this a common problem? I am exporting at best quality and 1280 x 720, leaving all other settings as preset. I suspect that if I drop the background altogether it will work, but, it looks so great in keynote that'd be a shame. Any tips?

I'm confused with the aspect ratio when I crop them i know I have to lock the aspect but should I keep it on Original? Also i'm wondering when it comes to export them what size should I be placing if I want to print all sizes.
The crop aspect lock only comes into play while you are actively resizing the crop boundary. LR always works in a freehand manner, except that if the ratio is locked, adjusting the crop frame is allowed to alter its size and location and angle - but not its shape. If the ratio is not locked, you will be changing the crop shape freely if/when you drag the corner or edge handles around. The rest of the time, the lock makes no difference; and it is just as possible BTW to lock a random freehand aspect ratio, as it is to lock one of the standard preset ones.
If you are uploading an exported copy for printing, you could simply upload a JPG made at the original resolution (as cropped for composition and angle) - that is, unchecking the whole resizing section of the Export dialog - and give the printer instructions as to how large the various prints are to be. Or I suppose, you could resize to the largest of the sizes that you require, but you will then need to negotiate a pixels-per-inch "resolution" setting that will be appropriate - since, when resizing to a page size, this figure governs the pixel content of the file produced.
I would suggest that in the case of an export without resizing, where a generous quantity of pixels are included for the sorts of page sizes mentioned, you will likely not see any discernible printed benefit from setting the highest JPG quality setting for your export, but will be fine with around quality 6 to 8 - which brings the file sizes down significantly. Most often, printing services will presume that you have selected sRGB colourspace for your export, unless something different has been pre-agreed.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

Audio doesn't work when exporting to Quicktime

Hi there.
I've imported a FLV file with audio into a Flash file. When
previewed as a swf, the audio works, but when exported to
"Quicktime Video" (not the "Quicktime" setting) the audio doesn't
play.
I've double checked my Quicktime settings (ie the audio isn't
Disabled, and i've tried Animation, Video, None and MPEG-4
compression) but the audio still doesn't play.
The weird thing is, if i have a Quicktime movie playing in
Quicktime and then open my Quicktime Video file from Flash then the
audio in the first Quicktime cuts out.
Also in Quicktime the info on the Quicktime Video from flash
says it has a Audio Track with the settings I exported it out as,
but I'm still not getting any audio.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?
or is my question not making sense?
Thanks in advance

How do I Ensure that your MOV/MP4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion?

I have a YouTube channel. I use Sony Vegas to render my mp4 projects, but my PC uses QuickTime & I'm VERY unfamiliar with it and/or how it works, how to access it. When I record a mp4 video, QuickTime needs to be involved, but I'm unsure how to even check or know where to go, to find out how to do that. I need ensure my mp4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion. I have no idea what it even means? Does anyone out there happen to have the knowledge I would need to check if in fact the video is being exported through QuickTime conversion? If so, I WOULD FOREVER BE IN DEBT TO YOU! I hope someone can help me figure this problem out. Thanks for taking the time to view my question, and if anyone does know, I'd greatly accept your advice! Thank you very much again!

Hello,
You can do this: Set up a slow pulse train for CTR0 (1Hz). Set up a continuous digital channel read for Port 0 Line 0 on your card. Hook up CTR0 output (pin 5) to P0.0 (pin 10). Start your program to do the counter output pulse train and continuous read. You should see your digital line transition from high to low over time. The examples you can use to set this up are Gen Dig Pulse Train-Continuous.vi and Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi. For Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi, remove the DAQmx Timing VI to make it software timed, and connect the task handle and error wires accordingly. They can be ran from separate VI's as they don't use the same resources.
To be exact on the verbage used, you can perform a self-test on the device by right clicking the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Self-Test. As for testing the device manually, go with what I described above.

Build/Transition times off when exported to Quicktime

I have four Keynote presentations I have built, each of which has several Quicktime movies placed on multiple slides (not the same movie multiple times). I then have Keynote text and shape objects "interacting" with the movies as they play. In Keynote, I have set my build and transition times to perfectly match the content of the Quicktime movies.
Example: I have a movie that was captured from my screen wherein I select various menu items. In Keynote, as the various menu items are selected in the movie, I have Keynote text and arrows pointing to the relevant areas of the movies. "Click File...", "...then Save As..." etc. Looks great when presented in Keynote.
When exported to Quicktime (full size, high quality, Sorensen Video 3) the timing gets worse as the movie progresses, to the point that at the end some of my timings are off by almost 10 seconds or more!
Any ideas why this happens? The export to Quicktime is happing on a dual-processor 2.7GHz G5 with 4GB RAM... should be more than adequate!
Robert

Cheers for that, Kyn. Funny, I spent about two hours reading through page-by-page all the forum topics to see what issues people were coming acorss BEFORE I posted. Don't know how I missed this one though! Guess I should try searching next time.
Thanks,

IMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime

iMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime. Some people have posted that this problem disappeared when they upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. However, I am running Mt.Lion and it still happens. If there is no fix for this bug, does anyone know a workaround that will produce the same ultimate result..namely, a Quicktime movie that is not too large to attach to emails. Apple, please fix this. Thank you.

Update after two Apple iApps specialists spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me: There are 3 "poison pills" (that we know of) that will cause the crash if any of the three is part of the movie: Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or a circle open/close transition. Otherwise, no crash. The specialist made a movie on his own computer, containing the poison pills, but he exported to Quicktime without a crash. There is at least one report in the threads of a problem like mine. Thus, some Gremlin is causing this, in some computers. The iApps specialist was curioius to know whether a lot of people have this problem, or only a few. (If a lot, then it is worth submitting to the engineers to fix.) He said if you have this problem, call Apple. I asked if such people should post a "Me too!" on this thread. He said no, better to call Apple and report it. So that's the story. I can live without those poison pills in my export-to-quicktime movies. I am just a consumer, not a pro, and I can live with it. But it would be nice if Apple could fix this.

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

Jittery motion with stills when exported to Quicktime

I've been producing photographic AVs with FCE for a few years now and I've run into a problem with the latest version (3.5).
Any time I use keyframes to do a Ken Burns effect it gets all jittery when exported to Quicktime. Everything plays back fine within FCE - it's only when exported that the problem occurs. The problem didn't exist (for me) with version 3. It seems to be exacerbated by adding a transition but it happens even when there's no transition.
Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what I might be able to do to remedy it.
regards and thanks

That's what you did when you switched the field
dominance to none, but you see you didn't see any
effect when you did that.
No, none at all.
I have a fairly major show on Friday night (it's Wednesday pm here now) so I'm thinking I might spend the night redoing it in iMovie. I'm disappointed because I've been doing them in FCE for a few years now and this is the first time I've seen a problem. The only thing which has changed is the jump from 3 to 3.5.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

[PE9] noise or no sound when exporting

I'm putting together a video from a trip. After a while, my computer started getting slow and Premiere Elements almost instantly showed a memory error when opening my project. So I arranged a faster computer to borrow for a while, which solved the memory problem.
Now I want to share/produce/export my project as a movie, so I can watch it and write down things I want to change. Rendering as an avi results in an "unknown error", other formats seem to work fine apart from the sound. I either get a continuous noise or no sound at all. I literally tested every output possibility in PE9.
I assume it's not the project itself, because I did preliminary exports before which looked and sounded fine. The difference is: those exports where made on my own computer, the one that got to slow in the end. So it's not the footage used, everything sounds just fine in PE itself.
The new computer is brand new, with barely anything installed except for PE9, Windows, VLC and Chrome. Is it possible the computer lacks the proper audio encoder(s)? I thought those would be installed with PE9...
So in short:
- old computer exports movies perfectly fine, but when I open my project PE9 exits immediately, due to not enough memory. I simply can't open my project anymore.
- new computer can handle the load, but produces noise or silence instead of the sound.
I exported two very short clips, one in MPG and one in MP4, the export settings are in the filenames. Both clips are the same content-wise and you should hear a bit of Johnny Cash as the soundtrack. But you won't.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4832845/HD%20720p%2030.mpg
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4832845/iPod%20and%20iPhone%20-%20High%20Quality.mp4

Sorry, it's been a while since I had the time to dive into PE9 again. I updated the audio drivers and installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. That seemed to solve the problem briefly, because when I exported a short bit of the project, I had the correct sound. When I tried it again a while later, it was the old noise again. Very weird...
I continued my project in a new project (because the first one seems to be too much for PE9 to handle) and when I export bits of the new project, everything is fine. So it's probably a file used in the first project that causes the mayhem. Maybe one of the mp3's I'm using, although they're all self ripped from my own cd collection.
Still weird that it renders ALL of the sound useless when exporting. Also, PE9 doesn't indicate file problems (as I've seen in the past, with the little yellow danger triangle in the bottom left corner). I guess I'll have to split the project up in several smaller projects and see if I can isolate the troublemaker that way.
I didn't have the time yet to figure out the video codec used, but all footage is from the same camera and the mp3's used are self ripped. The computer has now been updated to the max.
I did however start the first project in PE8 and continued with PE9 later, when I moved to a new computer. But that shouldn't cause my audio to be messed up, should it? Using any of the standard presets results in noise or silence. I've tried them all
Also, when I export the new project (which was started in PE9), it exports to avi just fine. When I try avi in the first project (started in PE8, continued in PE9), I get the "unknown" error and exporting to avi or wmv is not possible.

Unable to open digitally signed Flash Application Video ( .Exe format)

Hi ,
As part of Vista Validation i am required to sign all .exe files in my application. I do digitally sign flash videos iwhich are in .exe format.
But when i try to ru them after siging they do not open. Flash player 7.0 hangs. Unsigned videos open well in flash player 7.
Can please somebody suggest solution how to open digitally signed videos ?
Thanks in advance

This is why you do backups both before and after doing other things.
So one way to do something like this:
Backup old db.
expdp old db.
Install new 11gR2, create database.
Back it up.
Turn off archivelog.
impdp
Turn on archivelog.
Back it up.
The general thought here is you would start over with the first new db backup if the imp didn't work, you turn off archiving to avoid generating lots of redo that would be for a recovery you would never do.
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), best way depends on details, including volume of data and platform changes. expdp/impdp has an over the network option if disk space is limited and network is fast.
I usually allow for several tries when going to a new box, since the new box will require testing anyways.

Audio and video not in sync when exporting to Quicktime file

I use a digital camera to shoot video, which is in .avi format. I then import the clips into IMovie HD (selecting all the clips and dragging all at the same time into IMovie). If I play the video from beginning to end in IMovie, the audio and video line up fine. But, when I 'share' to Quicktime file, the longer the video is, the more out-of-sync the audio and video become.
I didn't have this problem when I used a mini-DV cam and imported using a firewire cable (in real time).
Any ideas as to how to get the audio to sync up with the video once it's shared as a Quicktime file? I've tried .mp4 and .mov, and I have the same problem.

Anything here help?

IMovie 08 cutting off the end of my video when exporting

First off, I'm running 10.5.3, iMovie 7.1.2, iDVD 7.0.2 on a MB Pro. I have a 256mg nVidia video card, 4gigs of RAM and about 55Gigs of space left on my hard drive. The movie is about 5-9gigs in size-I made sure everything was updated before I started. I created a 45 min movie in iMovie and exported it via-"export using QuickTime." Under "options->settings" I chose Apple Intermediate Codec (frame rate current, compressor-other) with the default settings for AIC. It takes about 35 minutes to process. I import the movie into iDVD via drag-and-drop where I want the movie to go in the menu. All the menu links, music and buttons work. I test the movie and its flawless up until the very end where I have the credits. It plays all the credits except the second to last one. The one that failing is a scrolling credit that lasts the maximum 60 seconds and the last credit/frame of the video is a non-scrolling screen that lasts for 6 seconds. This 6 second credit/final frame is fine. The whole movie is exactly 45:56sec. What happens is that the movie will play through all the credits and once it gets to flawed one, instead of scrolling words it scrolls a solid white block up the screen where all the words should be. I've tried the whole share/import to iDVD twice and actually let it burn to a disc once. Same problems. I have tried exporting to the media browser as well, same problem. The video has the issue once it's exported (so the problem is not in iDVD 08). ANY tips or ideas would be welcome. Sorry if there is a ton of useless info, not sure what's relevant and what isn't. Can't find anything specific to my issue in other posts.
(I posted this in iDVD before I figured out that the problem was with iMovie and not iDVD)
THANK YOU!!!
Luke

Ditto white screen problem.
I am using iMovie 08 for a 23 minute photo-music slideshow for more control over placement and my music.
The final scrolling credits are 60 seconds long over a photo that is 59 seconds long. I have a wipe right and a new photo and the credits/music end. Everything plays well in imovie, but on the DVD i burn with iDVD, there is a white screen where the credits should be.
Applecare suggested changing to another photo. I did. No change, another DVD coaster. Applecare suggested changing the jpg photo to tiff. I did, no change, another DVD coaster.
I exported again in Media Browser, different name, but got the same white screen.
The 5 other titles in the project are fine in iDVD. When I play it on my TV, it looks fantastic, except for that last white screen and no credits.
Any suggestions?

Transparent video when exported

I am having a problem with a video I have been curently working on. I have already keyed it using keylight 1.2 and have exported it (lossless with alpha) to Premiere Pro. While previewing the video there is no visible bleed of the colors even when zoomed in. Once the video is exported to mpeg4 my black shirt allows background colors to bleed through at random intervals. I tryed rekeying multipule times with no effect and I do not beleive it was the green screen itself because I followed all greenscreen procedure (light wall, light subject, distance from wall. Do I need to rotoscope the shirt? Am I exporting it wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. If pictures are needed please ask.
