DVD Export - Problems

Hello,
I shot some video a while back and I am trying to make a DVD with the footage. I have several questions and any help would be greatly appreciated!
First Camera: JVC GZ-HD5
I used the 1440CBR (1440x1080i, 27Mbps Constant Bit Rate) record setting.
Is there are difference if I capture the footage versus taking the file off the camera? The camera files are .tod files and I have to change the file extension to .m2ts for them to import in to Premiere?
Second Camera: Sony SD Camcorder
If I want to make a DVD using both cameras footage which sequence preset should I use?
What is the best option for exporting to DVD?
Thanks!

There are two quick and easy ways to resize your HD footage to SD. The first I'm not sure about, the second I know works.
1) Select it in your bin and choose the "Clip | Modify | Interpret Footage" command, and make your adjustment there, bringing it to match the framerate and frame size of your SD footage (be careful, though, not to "squash" your video if you've got 4:3 SD...)
2) Select your clips in the timeline, right click, and select "Scale to Frame Size." This may perhaps be the best option, though may not be as quick as selecting it all at once in the bin. Note that you can select multiple clips in the timeline by pressing the "A" key on your keyboard and then clicking on your first clip. It will select that clip and all that follow it.
As to the instructions in your user manual, it sounds like it's asking you to brink the footage in over firewire, which isn't the proper workflow for digital format stuff... If the footage works copied to your computer and changed to mts files, then go that route. If PrPro doesn't recognize it, then you'll need to figure a different way to ingest it. However, playing back and capturing over firewire doesn't seem to be a very sensible option.

DVD Export Problem

I want to export a birthday video with audio in a reasonable size for burning on a DVD disc and playing in a DVD player. I've even tried H.264 but the file was too big. and also it generated two files. and it was also rendered interlaced.
When trying the many kinds of MPEG I got a file too big also , and there were other problems too like quality too low.
[Thread title changed for clarity.]

Big Problems with PP - AE - Encore MPEG2-DVD export

Hey guys & gals
For the last two days I have pretty much torn the remaining hair from my scalp...
I have a 190 minute 1920x1080 25p Video, all prepared in Premiere Pro.
The Video has ONE audio track and THREE video tracks.
Each of the Video tracks has some transitions (in my case: Roll Away (page peel)).
One of the vids is the main video, the two others should appear in Picture-in-Picture Frames created with After Effects.
The end result should then be rendered to MPEG2-DVD and a DVD created with Encore.
Here are my two (?) problems.
Problem 1: Premiere Pro & After Effects
- When replacing my nested sequences (each video track is its own nest) and send it to AE all seems well.
- However: None of my transitions will render out of AE (basically clip 1 cuts right away to clip 2 without the transition)
Problem 2: MPEG2-DVD export - sound is too short
- When I render my footage to MPEG2-DVD using AME, the sound is always too short.
- Example: I got a 24 min chapter and the sound only lasts around 23 minutes. Then it just goes silent while the rest of the video plays.
- (I multiplexed the sound into the MPEG2 file).
Possible Solution?
I have tried so many things already... Now I am thinking about this:
Is this a solution for #1?:
- export every video track separately and lossless (Windows Media, 1920x1080 25p ?)
- export the sound sound track as AAC sound.
- Create a new timeline with the newly rendered (have all transitions in them) videos.
- THEN send them to AE again. AE does its thing.
For Problem #2 (sound too short) I have no idea right now. That is the most vexing of my problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael

Thanks John & tfi for clearing up the audio/video issue!
I will try that now - I am confident your advise works!
As far as my system is concerned: Pretty fast i7 with multiple disks, Software is Creative Cloud Subscription (so all should be up-to-date).
Maybe I don't get this whole Premiere / After Effects combo. I am a PPro advanced user, but an absolute AE noob
So: I have a sequence in PPro. It has all kinds of transition effects in there, such as the "roll away" page peel.
When I replace the sequence with an AE comp, I lose my transitions. In AE it shows all of the effects, such as 'roll away' between the clips, but they all have 0 duration.
AE cuts from one clip to another without the transition.
I hope I don't have to render my three videos out to lossless WMF or something and then put them in AE. In total, I have 6 disks with 90 chapters to go. That would be 270 exports before I can even begin working in AE...
Again, thanks guys! And more help is even more appreciated

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Final Cut Pro DVD export failure?

What does this mean?(com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
Have had no previous problems exporting via FCP , sharing to DVD. To youtube ....... trying hard not to hate.

OS X 10.9.5 3.5GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1333MHz DDR3
FCP 10.1.2
Have burned 3.5minute DVD no drama, earlier did 1hour plus DVD, no problem also.
Thanks

Exporting problems, won't stay in original aspect ratio..... (black bars!)

So I'm trying to export footage off of my 5DMK2, I've worked in Final Cut Express, added in transitions and some audio edits, fine, works great.
But when I export it adds black bars to the top and bottom, I fully understand why they exist on videos that are not actually 16x9, but my video IS, the files that were imported were true 16x9 ratio, and now in the export it has black bars.
I just want the video to have no black bars at all and keep the original aspect ratio of 16x9.
I've tried almost everything I can think of. Exporting it in various different ways. It makes no sense to have 16x9 videos to have black bars on them to fit into 16x9 windows..... I have no idea why it's doing this.
Message was edited by: AncientNation

There you go, that's the problem. You placed 1920x1080 footage in a DV-NTSC sequence, and it scaled it down to fit, thus adding the black bars.
Here's what you do now:
1. Create a new sequence ( +File > New Sequence+ )
2. Select that new sequence in the browser, and go to +Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset > Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60+
3. Copy your edited footage in your original sequence
4. Paste it into your new sequence that you created
5. Select all of the clips in the new sequence
6. Go to +Edit > Remove Attributes+
7. Check the +Basic Motion+ and Distort boxes
8. Click OK.
That should make it look better. If you did any keyframing or adjusting within the motion tab of the viewer you will have to redo that work, but at least this gets your original problem fixed. You can then export as you'd like, for DVD export to Quicktime Movie.
In the future, if using 1920x1080 footage you should change the sequence to match it before putting the clips in the sequence. You can make the sequences default to this setting by going to +File > Easy Setup+ and selecting the +AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60+ option.

AME CC MPEG-2 DVD Encode Problems

Having an issue with MPEG-2 DVD exports using CBR instead of VBR. I've always used CBR before with no problems at all. Now, when I export with CBR (actual bitrate doesn't matter), I get this weird pulsing artifacting in the video. It doesn't do it in VBR, but I'm not altogether happy with how crossfades turn out with VBR (lots of blocking).
I'm using the latest versions of Premiere CC and AME CC. The source video files I'm converting are Quicktime ProRes 422LT files at 1920x1080 23.97. I'm on an iMac running Mavericks - 3.5ghz i7 32gb RAM with NVIDIA GTS 780M with 4gb video RAM.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
-Edwin

I'm getting something similar with HD MPEG-2 encodes in PPCC and AMECC. I've got a couple of broadcast outlets that specify 29.97fps 20mbps CBR MPEG-2, one in 1080p and one in 1080i. Any time I encode in CBR, I get that weird kind of pulsing. I've tried it with automatic GOP placement on and off, doesn't seem to make a difference. The only way I've found to fix it is to (with the stations' blessing) encode as VBR MPEG-2.

Export Problem in LR 3.5

Hi folks,
I have been working with LR 2.7 for a while now and was happy with it.
PC - Win XP - LR3.5
Photo's stored on external hard disk (K:)
The RAW captures of a Nikon 3100 I recently won were not being recognized/imported by LR 2.7 and I installed the 3.5 version to see if it was any better. I would have to buy it anyway by the time I switch to Win7. In 3.5 the Raw files were imported, the settings of 2.7 were nicely taken over but now and I cannot export the files I have worked on to the K: drive of the external hard drive as I used to do with 2.7.
I get the message 'The folder could not be found' though it is set in the Export Window and I am looking at it in Win Explorer.
The original RAW captures are on the D: drive but that was always the case with 2.7 as well... I am doing it exactly as I used to with 2.7.
I tried with a photo from an older folder of my usual camera and everything works fine there.
The problem seems to be only with the Nikon files. Now I start wondering if there is something with raw format of this Nikon camera that is putting LR in a twist...
Anybody any ideas to help me out?
Thanks and grts
Nil

@ web-weaver:
Of course they go to a different folder and they also get different
titels/names once processed in LR. The originals are always RAW (NEF) and I
export them as jpg or tiff files depending on what more I will do to them.
@ ssprengel:
I get the message when I have renamed the file in the export window, set
the folder it has to go to and hit export.
In the 2.7 version I got it already when I tried to import.
As I said, this only happens with the Nikon (NEF) RAW files. With the
Olympus (ORF) RAW files I have no problem at all and had no problem in LR
2.7 either.
I cannot see anything wrong in the Export panel nor in Preferences.
Plug in is Metadata Wrangler and has been updated to the latest version >
no joy...
I tried import/export with jpg files and no problem there.
Yesss! Got it! What I had overlooked was a question mark next to the folder
in Library (sooo small). A rightclick and telling LR where it was solved
the problem. Strange, though, as it has never done this before... the main
folder and the path are still the same as the ones that work perfectly with
Olympus exports... just a different subfolder named Nikon and another named
Test... Also strange that if I started off with jpg, it was no problem
either...
Anyway, thanks a lot for shaking my senses for me

DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?

Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985

+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip.

Leopard DVD player problems

every time I launch the DVD player program it crashes instantly i've tried to restart cause I thought it might need a restart but it still does even after the restart.

I too am having DVD Player problems, though certainly not that consistently. About 1 in 10 times I start up DVD Player it will immediately dim the screen and display in front the multilingual "you must restart your computer" message. Never happened with Tiger, but that was also a different computer. Doesn't matter whether I'm playing a VIDEO_TS folder or whether I'm playing a disc, doesn't matter whether there is even a disc in the player or not. For VIDEO_TS folder doesn't seem to matter if the folder is local or on a network. Also, I have had the same effect when viewing VIDEO_TS movies through Front Row; thus I think the problem may be pretty deep in the OS's video code, perhaps even in the driver. My system has Santa Rosa motherboard with x3100 built-in graphics.

Export problems- it's renaming my MOVs to strange things and they're huge!

Hey guys,
strange fcp export problem. I have a 10 minute anim compressed fcp project, 1920x1080, 30fps on a top-of-the-range macbook pro with external terabyte HD. I did a test export a couple of days ago, because our deadline is really soon, and that all worked fine - a 10 minute quicktime, 100% anim codec, was 26GB. That was fine. I did another test clip, just a spinning bitmap for 10 mins, from AfterEffects with similar, succesful, results and file sizes.
Now, however, when I export, it comes out as 60GB, and FCP changes the filename to something which is the first half of the filename I chose, and a strange number for the second half which is different each time I try it. Something like "filena#CF342.mov", for example. This file seems to have video in it OK, but it's 3 times the size, and the data rate is much higher, too high to play back.
The only changes I've made since my successful test are replacing many of the low res previews with hi res versions, and adding 1 minute to the end. And I changed my QMaster setup, not sure if that's anything to do with it.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm getting pretty worried.....
thanks in advance....

Thanks for the quick reply! No, don't think that's the problem. The new render doesn't have an alpha channel - it's Animation 100% Millions (not Millions+), and I don't think that would add more than 25% to the file size anyway. It also wouldn't account for the strange renaming of filenames. And the increase in length is only 10%. The file size has tripled!
The final delivery format was going to be animation, 1920x280, because it's going to projected on a 30m wide cinema screen and live TV tomorrow night but our playback solution (while it handles the test files ok) can't handle the data rate of these strange new files: it's 800mb/s, which is pretty ridiculous.
The renaming of the files suggests (to me at least) some kind of bug/error, but it doesn't report any kinda error in either fcp or quicktime.
Plan B is to recompress the strange big file using h264 which gives an ok quality and is 10% of the size. Reason I'd like to do it animation is I need to do several versions with different gamma, so I need to do further processing on the rendered file after it's dumped from FCP.
Any thoughts? I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
one thought - I didn't tick "recompress all files" and some of the source DOES have alpha - would it be taking the alpha channel even though I didn't ask for it?

Export Problem Solved (new problem)

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

Excel export problem using craxddrt

Hi,
I'm using craxddrt v.11.5 in our intranet application to export rpt.reports to different formats. My code works well with PDF and text exports, but when it comes to Excel after the .Export(false) method executes the browser window just goes into idle then the session finally expires. I never catch any error. I have tried several export options with no prevail.
I suspect the Excel export is missing some info to complete and it is trying to prompt me, but no visible prompt gets displayed/answered so it just expires.
Could anyone help me out. I've spent several days researching and fixing the code and ran out of ideas.
Sincerely
Steve Komaromi

Hi Steve, Is there some reason you are posting this question over and over again?
Try looking at your same post: Excel export problem using craxddrt
