Dividing a large movie  in half for exporting purposes to Apple TV

I am hoping someone can help me. I have a 3 hour and 30 minute movie and have been to export and it fails every time with a 2125 error code. It sounds like from an earlier question u can only process 2 hours at the time. If that is the case how do you divide the movie in half without losing transitions and special effects?? Thanks Robo S

Ctrl-click on the project and select 'Duplicate...' from the contextual menu, delete first half of copy and second half of original.

    It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
    Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
    Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee.

  • Placing SWF Movie into IDCS4 for export to PDF

    I'm trying to place a swf into an Indesign document for export to PDF.
    I made a simple swf using Flash CS4 (AS2 if it matters) and placed it using the File->Place menu.
    I checked the Movie Options and selected, Embed in PDF, and play options.
    Then I export to PDF and am sure that Interactive Elements is checked.
    I found someplace that suggested toggling "create tagged PDF" to the opposite setting of whatever it is, but that didn't make any difference.
    When I open the PDF with Acrobat and move to that page it just shows the default movie preview and shows a "buffering" window for ever, but the file is tiny so it should load immediately.
    So how do I do this? Is it possible? I've tried some searches, but most everything I'm finding is about exporting ID docs to swf. And that isn't what I want.
    At least I don't think this is what I want. I need to make a PDF that will have an animation of how to navigate a web app. So if anybody has a better way to do this, then please let me know!

    I wrote up a very long explanation of this for indesignsecrets.com.
    http://indesignsecrets.com/putting-swfs-into-indesign-documents.php
    The bottom line is:
    It's a bug on the Mac
    Windows users can play those SWFs but the Mac hangs
    Adobe is aware of the problem
    But if you want an SWF to play on both Mac and Windows, open the PDF in Acrobat Professional and add the SWF there.
    You will actually have more control than if you had placed it in InDesign and it played correctly.

  • FCP movie to MV4 for iPod/iPhone/AppleTV through QT and Compressor: QT wins

    Hello everyone, first the question, then a little background on why and what I have done and tested:
    *What are the details for compressor settings to match the export formats in Quicktime Pro 7 for iPhone, iPod and AppleTV?*
    +The background:+
    +I am adding a few titles, lower thirds, and open and end credits to a few 1 hour shows that will be distributed as Video Podcasts using iTunes and a Mac OS X Server.+
    +The source materials came from a 1024 x 768 capture using Wimba capture (set at 1024x768 @ 15fps) and I went ahead added a few Motion templates for open and end credits with a few edits.+
    +I could not see RT (Real Time) video playback in FCP, I am assuming due to the source format:+

    +I have my Motion templates set for HD (16:9) and the source materials were at 4:3.+
    +In any case I created a small sequence in FCP with settings at 640x360.+
    +Then I had to Export a QT movie, which gave me documents around the 5GB/hour mark. The quality is very good.+
    +Now, to the compression. I open Compressor and exported the movies using the default:+
    +-H.264 for Apple TV *Estimated Size: 2.05GB - Excellent Quality*+
    +-H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 320x240 (QVGA) *Estimated Size: 246MB - Bad Quality*+

    +I thought to give the QT Export through Quicktime 7 Pro feature a chance, and I did, to my surprise, the Quicktime 7 Pro Export to iPod and the Quicktime 7 Pro export to Apple TV were fantastic, great quality, and the size just right, plus the exports were very fast, around 15 minutes per hour.+

    *That's why I would like to know what are the QT default settings for exporting to the Apple devices, to add such settings to compressor and get the same results.*
    Please let me know if you know this.
    BTW, I tried using Qmaster to farm out the rendering of compressor, and with these same documents it took almost twice as long to do compress the documents because of the copying of the source. I am not sure if there is a better way to use Qmaster, since I have access to a full-time dedicated Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon , you'd think that would speed up the process, but it really didn't.
    Thank you.

  • Multiple HTS classification for exports

    Hi,
    Is it possible possible to assign 2 HTS numbers for same material and same regulation for export purposes
    If it is possible, which HTS number is determined for export customs document and how it is determined
    Thanks

    Following message received from SAP in response to the OSS message raised for this scenario:
    "The ECCN number assignment to a product is stored on the database as a combination of the product unique id and scheme which are the secondary keys. So It is not possible to assign multiple ECCN numbers to a product from the same ECCN because of the architecture of GTS where it is expected that one product has exactly one ECCN number to it.
    As a workaround I would propose creating multiple legal regulations, by creating copies of the schema that you want to use and renaming them and assigning them individually to the different legal regulations that you are using. So essentially the classification codes and the structure of the schema is the same but is renamed in GTS. This way you can assign a different ECCN in these renamed schemas to the same
    product.
    If you require further help with this workaround please consult your local consultant"

  • Adding titles after exporting large movie

    Is there any way to add titles to an exported file simply? I just want to add on title to a section that I forgot to put in. I really don't want to wait another 4 and a half hours for imovie to export a new large movie. Any suggestions?

    I suppose you could use QuickTime Pro to cut out just the portion of your movie needing titles and import that back to iMovie.
    When you're done, export and copy and paste it back in again using QuickTime Pro.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/
    It costs a few bucks, but QuickTime Pro is a handy tool to have around.

  • Best compression for exporting large files from iMovie for use in iDVD?

    I have a doco that I've made as separate projects too slow to make it all in one project - which I then exported as Quicktime .mov files. When I assembled the .mov files in iDVD I ended up with 4.7GB of material which iDVD flipped out on and crashed.
    What would be the best compression to apply to the large .mov files but reduce the overall file sizes by say 10%
    Its sometimes taking up to 6 hours to render each project average total screentime per project is about 70 minutes and each project file size ranges from 1 to 6GB...
    I feel like I'm a little out of my depth on this one!
    Any suggestions for this dilemma?
    Thanks
    Tony

    When I assembled the .mov files in iDVD I ended up with 4.7GB of material which iDVD flipped out on and crashed... Any suggestions for this dilemma?
    Not sure if your 4.7GB reference is for the source files or the resulting "muxed" MPEG2/PCM encoded content. In any case a single layer DVD is limited to 4.7 GBs of total content. To be safe, this usually means you are limited to 4.2 to 4.3 GB of encoded movie and/or slideshow content depending on how many and what type of menus you are creating created. Thus, if you are encoding for a single-layer DVD and your project encoded content exceeds the capacity of your DVD, then this would likely explain your problem.
    If your project size reference is for the source content being added to your iDVD project, then it is totally irrelevant and you need to concentrate on the total duration of your iDVD and the method of encoding instead of file size. Basically, for a single-layer DVD, only about 60 minutes content can be encoded using the "Best Performance" encode option, 90 minutes using the "High Quality" setting, or 2 hours in the "Professional Quality" encode mode. Thus, if your content duration exceeds the capacity of your encoding mode here, it would likely explain your problem.
    In either case, the solution would be to either burn to higher capacity optical media/higher capacity encoding mode or burn your content to multiple DVDs as individual projects at the current media capacity/encoding mode.

  • Why can't I export a Medium/Large movie?

    Hi,
    Newbie here - be kind. I'm just joining clips to upload to youtube. I don't need to splice anything. I am having the following issues:
    1. When you put your clips in iMovie, is there a way to display the accompanying file name? Or since I don't need to splice anything, can I just display the clips in a text list format? It would make things a lot easier in terms of makin sure I'm putting the clips in the correct chronological order.
    2. When I try exporting the movie, the option for "Medium" and "Large" is greyed out. All I can export is mini, which is terrible resolution. My source clips are from a Sony HDD camcorder and are 720x480. Any idea why I can't export a higher resolution movie?
    Thanks. I really appreciate any help out there.

    I am having the same problem!! I have imported files that were .mov (though they were converted from VHS tapes I imported). I am thinking it is because the quality of the VHS was not good enough to export into a medium to large format. (Although when I plug the VCR into the TV the picture is clear) I don't know why it can go in as an mp4 or mov and can't also export as such. I really haven't done much to them except add some transitions and a couple of songs. I am afraid once I put them into iDVD, the picture will be very pixellated, even though it was clear with the original VHS.

  • What are the settings for exporting the best possible quality movies?

    I'm trying to export movies using imove 11, there are a ton of export setting, im wondering which are the best for exporting top quality movies? assuming file size doesnt matter. 

    ok so heres what the movie inspector says:
    Format: Photo- JPEG, 1024 x 576, Million Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 2channels, 44100 Hz
    FPS: 17.80
    Data Rate:9.63 mbit/s
    Current Size:1024 x 576 pixels (actual)
    So do i want to somehow duplicate these settings?
    The other thing I was thinking about was opening the file in Quicktime and using the "trim" feature to edit it down that way, although its not as neat.  Would this preserve the quality? And would it get rid of the excess footage (which is what I want)? Or would it like keep that footage attached to the file somehow?
    Thanks

  • I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have the same question. It seems that Adobe is almost impossible to contact (I ended up here at the forums to ask the same question).
    I will never buy another Adobe product again if I can get another program to replace it. If this is customer service then it is NON EXISTENT!
    I notice that your question has not been answered and why should you have to get the information from a forum? I know of no other company that makes you do this for simple product information.
    NOT HAPPY with this version of arrogant customer service (nor am I happy about renting Photoshop products into the future - it is just a money grab in my opinion). I will be voting with my feet and going elsewhere in future.

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

  • Best settings for exporting and dropping a MOV file into iDVD7?

    I have a movie (originally shot in HD), made in iMovieHD6, and that I'd like to export and drop into iDVD7. *What settings would the brain trust recommend?* I cannot seem to get iDVD to render a good version through direct export from iMovie. (As a side, I wonder if it is because I started this process by bringing AVCHD files from my camera into iMovie8 and "going backwards" to iMovieHD6.)

    I have used Pro-res from Final Cut Pro into iDVD and it works.
    *This is from iDVD help menu:*
    Video and image formats that work with iDVD
    You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
    ◼
    Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
    ◼
    16:9 widescreen formats
    ◼
    AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
    ◼
    Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
    High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
    The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
    ◼
    Copyrighted or protected videos.
    ◼
    Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
    ◼
    48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
    ◼
    Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
    ◼
    QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
    ◼
    QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

  • Best settings for highest quality for exporting a .mov  file to h.264

    Hi,
    I want to know what the best settings are for the highest quality for exporting a .mov file (720p50) to h.264. I want the same quality as the original.
    I want to know the data rate etc.
    regards,
    Jeroen
    Message was edited by: Woudgraaf-AV

    There is no way to get the exact same quality when transcoding from an editing source to a highly compressed H.264 QT. However, you can get a real high quality by adjusting the data rate.
    However, these things depend on the length of the original. I routinely encode H.264s with good results in the 3000-5000 data rate range. I also make sure that I use multiple pass encoding. Take a short snippet of your project (10 seconds or so), and try various bit rates until you have one you like that doesn't take forever.

  • How to select slides for exporting as QuickTime movie?

    Is there a way to select only a range of slides for exporting as a QuickTime movie? I can hide the slides I don't want the movie to contain, then show them after the export, but this is very tedious. Is there a function like the "print range" when printing that will let me do this easier?
    (My presentation is 100+ slides, all with animations, which I want to export as a series of short movies of 3-6 slides each.)

    Probably easiest to open a new Keynote and drag the thumbnail of the slides you want in the Quicktime to the new presentation.
