Editing offlineRT, recapturing media at full quality comes back too big

I have been editing offlineRT (motion jpeg) then recapturing the media at full quality, in some cases HDV, others DVntsc, but when I create copy of the project and recapture, the video is coming in way bigger than the canvas space. I have had to manually resize each clip.
When first capturing as offlineRT, the prompt warns that the project preset doesn't match the media, would you like to change the project settings? So, I have tried it both ways.
What have I missed?
Thanks, John

DId you go through Media Manager when you did this? Because if not, then your sequence is still probably an OFFLINE RT setting sequence, 320x240. Your clips will be full res and full size....720x480 if DV. So yeah, if you are dropping them into an offline RT sequence, not only will they be too big, but you'll have to render them and they will get rendered into an OFFLINE RT codec.
If you used the Media manager, you'd get a new sequence with the proper settings and frame size, and no need to render.

  • MY deleted emails come back too! Please help

    OK.. This is driving me nuts now. Not happened for a while but today - I have tried to delete the same 27 emails NINE times now and they KEEP FRIGGIN COMING BACK!!!! Grrr
    Always been a huge huge fan of apple - til I got the iPhone! Only had it 3 months and would switch back to my blackberry in a heartbeat!
    WHat to do ?
    I delete some - or all - or one - then the others - and they keep coming back. Restarted... not restarted... Driving me mad.
    I get up to 100 emails each day - so to KEEP ON having them come back is driving me a bit nuts!

    This happens to me constantly and I can't believe none of the Apple experts, either with Apple or not, have addressed this problem. I have spent so much wasted time just trying to clear out messages from the In Box. In one account it shows 46 messages even when the In Box is blank. I even tried deleting the account and bringing it back, but it did not help. Also, like the rest of you, I get constant shutdowns when deleting, then when I go back, there are those deleted messages again. This is driving me crazy! Help!!

  • Cant export AV Self contained but can export QT Conversion Full Quality DV

    Having trouble exporting Quicktime movie, "Self-Contained"is checked. Include Audio & Video. It exports about 3/4 of the way and than get general error. I have searched the forum but found nothing that would help. I have exported it using quicktime conversion Full quality Dv and it exports fine and plays fine. But when I import full quality dv back into fce and render it, the last 10 minutes of the 22 minute video has no sound.All music is aiff and all pics are jpeg, tif, And video is all original DV. Have have made several videos using all the same types of format and have never had this problem. Could someone help. Thanks.....Rick

    Did you render all and mix down the audio before you attempted to export the movie?
    Sequence > Render All > Both
    Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown
    Do both of them, in order, then save your project, then try exporting again.
    What version of QT do you have on your system?

  • Editing Audio from PP CS4 in Soundbooth coming back out of sync.

    After cleaning up audio from PP CS4 using the "edit in Soundbooth" option. The audio comes back out of sync. How do I solve this?
    thanks!

    I am sorry for the confusion. When putting the playhead in the middle, the instrumental sounds as if somebody has slid it to the right. No, it does not start early and end late. It (the instrumental) is just at a later part of the song no matter where I put the playhead. For example, I put the playhead at a certain point of the song, and at that point the instrumental is sounding a part of the track located at an earlier location of the song (maybe a second or 2). There is no change in pitch...the instrumental sounds the same...it is just at the wrong location every time I put the playhead anywhere but the beginning of the song.

  • Final Cut Express Edit = TOO BIG for iDVD - Why?

    I am trying to import my 16:46 edited wedding video into iDVD, but it is far too big to fit on 1 DVD.
    The edited version is 16:46 minutes [in Final Cut Express], but when I convert it to a quick time movie [to import to iDVD] it ends up being 14 GB and 271 minutes [and I have tried various conversion types]. I don't understand this?
    THE ONL THING I THINK IT COULD BE IS:
    I have a lot of "extra duration" in Final Cut Express that I did NOT cut off. Would that affect the size of my video?
    If that is my problem...Is there an efficient way to get rid of all the extra duration?
    Thanks...Keep Seeking and SMILING:O)

    You mean you left 254 minutes of empty space at the end? Yeah, that would do it.
    FCE doesn't know to cut off anything that you don't tell it to. If you have a lot of "dead" space, it's probably because you left a small clip somewhere at the end of all that space. Try going back to your sequence in FCE, positioning the playhead over your intended ending, tap "T" four times, and click. This should select everything after the playhead, which you can then delete.*
    *this shortcut may be for FCP only, I'm not sure. Anyone?

  • Editing with proxy media

    Does editing with proxy media files affect the video quality once its time to export project?
    I shoot 1080P HD video, import both optimized and proxy media files. When its time to export the project or share to yutube the video comes out grainy and dull. I color correct during the edit process. I don't use compressor because I don't create dvd's.
    This is a bit frustrating. Any comments or suggestions?

    John Lyons wrote:
    Even if I checked optimize and proxy video at the same time?
    Do I lose the color corrections I did when I go back to optimized?
    You don't lose anything. Edit in proxy mode, then before exporting go to preferences->playback and select Original/Optimized media. FCP X will keep all your edits, but will then use the high quality media so that you export your work in full glory.
    If you choose this workflow, you really do not need to create optimized media.
    I don't see any point in creating both proxy and optimized versions of your media. Either edit in proxy (if your mac or drive is relatively slow, or if you use multicam with several angles) - and then you don't need optimized - or edit in optimized and you don't need proxy.

  • We can't export as .m2ts files?? how can i retain full quality?

    so we can import .m2ts files into CS4, we can edit them in CS4, but we can't export them out of CS4?
    how can I retain full quality?

    i see, well i have the hdr-sr12. you can export to h264 blu-ray, then do the following - NTSC, 1920x1080, framerate(mostly you would want 29.97), Field order: UPPER, Profile: HIGH, LEVEL 4.0, VBR-2-pass: 16mbps target rate with max of 18mbps. After that, export and see how it looks like on VLC or windows media player.

  • Questions about exporting to full quality?

    Hey there -
    I just wanted to make sure that if I want to give my friend back a DV file from the converted tape that I choose Export, then Full Quality? I know that creates one file vs individual clips but her tape was one long one, I did chapter markers for the dvd and make splits but I don't think she wants those (some are arbitrary, e.g. the tape was long than an hour so iMovie HD split it into two clips). So, I just want to be sure that that's the right choice for exporting?
    And, on that, does that remove transitions or keep them?
    Lastly, there is a weird screen in QuickTime in the resulting file. It's a colorblock screen of sorts - a whole punch of pixels (big TV ones, not sure what they are called) in a bunch of colors. It's happening RIGHT at the end of the footage - not thrilled about it but it is the DV file, I guess. Depending on answer to above, I may at least extend the end transition so it doesn't make future editing difficult. Any way to eliminate it from happening?
    Thanks for your help -
    Alexa

    +You should be able to move the cursor frame-by-frame with the arrow keys to get to the precise 'cut' point.+
    I know - it's strange but I lost a few seconds of just black screen at the end - I even went back and checked against the actual movie. At any rate, I'm slicing them off carefully and now am adding just a few seconds of still time at the end so it's not an issue.
    +What exactly is it that your friends want to do with the digitized footage? I recommend that you make them a DVD of the edited movie, and then export the movie back to the camcorder so they also have a digital mini DV tape of it. This way, they can view the DVD to see their movie and show to others, but they also have a backup on tape.+
    Ah, let's see - somehow I've agreed to convert a bag full of VHSC and VHS tapes (and hours and hours of my life for footage that's not even my family!) At any rate, I am giving them the deluxe end product - a customized movie with smoother transitions and chapters, a customized DVD menu with images and chapters (and music, if it fits) and a customized case and printed DVD (Taiyo Yuden printed Watershield DVD). Yes, the works. So, then I told them to buy a external HDD and I would move the resulting DV files to it so they would have them should the ever want to use the footage again (e.g. make an "anniversary" montage that pulls in just clips from their wedding, or a wedding montage for their kids that includes the baby footage that I digitized.) So, they have the VHSC and VHS originals, they'll have the movie on DVD and they were going to have the DV files on a hard drive of the appropriate size. That was my recommendation since the problem was that the tapes sat around in the first place - they aren't going to convert them without help. But, if that's the "best" option for longer-lasting backup, I can offer it to them.
    +If this were for your use, I would recommend that you also create a disk image of the iDVD project as backup. ...Because the disk image file is self-contained, you can safely delete the iMovie and iDVD projects without losing the ability to burn DVDs of the iDVD project that is now saved as the disk image. You use Disk Utility (or Toast if you have it) to burn the actual DVD disk.+
    That is the best advice I could have received! I hadn't really figured out what I was going to do with the actual iMovie and iDVD projects after I was finished. I was reluctant to delete b/c - ahem - they've come back to me after 2 months of the last project and asked for another copy!!! But, I've already added one external for this, I can't house their memories in various forms forever. So, if I do the disk image, I'll retain the ability to make the disk - that's exactly what I need. I've already been caught once by the dreaded "you've updated the move file" bug once, simply because I had opened the original iMovie project - and I had to build the whole DVD again (and it had 24 chapters!)
    Thanks so much for the counsel on the disk image - I had heard about it but just wasn't sure how I should directly apply it to these projects.
    Appreciate it!

    I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  • Exporting full quality problem.

    i shoot my movie in 16:9 on my sony camcorder. everything works perfectly in regards to editing and transfering to iDvd. the one thing i noticed that was weird is 2 days ago i made a short clip. about 5 minutes in 16:9 format. got it in and edited it in iMovie. so then i wanted to export it twice. once to put on youtube. i exported for webstreaming and it was fine. then another i wanted to export in full quality so i could send it to my brother to watch on his TV (he is in cali). but when i exported it into full quality it went back and squished it into a box format and not widescreen. so i fiddled around with "advanced" and got it to export 16:9 but the quality didnt look very good.
    how can i get it to export perfectly widescreen at full quality? Thank you.
    PS. I hope i make sense.

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • How to export full quality in photos

    In iPhoto you used to be able to export a modified picture in 'current' quality, which was full quality as shown in iPhoto.
    Now in the new photos app this option is gone (only allowing to export original image in full quality). The best now seems to be exporting the jpeg at maximum quality which it's compressing the image from what is seen in photos app.
    Does anyone know how to get around this...incredibly annoying as I want to edit images in photos, then export out that full quality to share or print or whatever.

    You misunderstand what 'quality' means in this context. Quality is about the amount of compression applied to the image when the Jpeg is created. Is had very little to do with the quality of the photo. A well exposed image will print pretty much the same from a 1, 2 or 5mb image, especially from a  domestic printer. You might see artefacts on a very high quality printer, but it's really not that mooch different.
    Jpeg quality really comes into play if you use a lossless editor after exporting. This is in the nature of the Jpeg format. It's not an image format at all, it's a compression format attuned to images. Essentially its a special kind of zip file. When you open a Jpeg it's decompressed, so that 5mb Jpeg could contain a file that uses 50mb of RAM.
    However, if you edit the image, then the file is recompressed and that means that some data is thrown away. In theory, edit a Jpeg enough times and you'll have an empty file. To overcome this, when you edit in apps like iPhoto/Photos the original file is not touched. The edit decisions are recorded in the db and only committed to the file when exported.
    Exporting create a new file, containing the same photograph. But the quality of the file - which is the amount of compression applied - can be selected. If you found that the Preview in iPhoto always matched the reported size of the original then either a: that was a fluke or b: the image wasn't edited.
    Medium gives about the same quality as the Preview, that's all.
    The best quality to export at depends on the next use the file gets: if it's going to editing further, then high. Other than that it doesn't make a huge amount of difference.

  • How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
    then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
    Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
    http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
    Ut Video Codec Suite
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
    But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
    you should consider using the Project Manager.
    Trim or copy your project
    By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
    with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
    Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
    it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

  • Using Project files to recapture media?

    I have lots of video that I captured using capture now. If anything were to ever happen to the media captured, can the project file somehow be used to recapture the exact segment of video I originally had without having to go through the whole process all over again?
    What about if the project file includes edits and I somehow lose the media. If it is recaptured, will the edits in the project file apply to the recaptured video?
    Thanks.

    Pre roll is adding time to the head and tail of each clip, also called 'handles' so you have some room to change edit points, add transitions, recapture media etc. in the future. Pre roll is a FCP setup item prior to capture.
    That's not quite right, Don. Pre-roll and handles are completely un-related. Handles are what you are describing in your post. Pre-roll is a recognition of playback ballistics in that a deck needs to cue to a point prior to the in-point on the tape to be captured. This is because the tape needs time to come up to speed and stabilize before you begin capture.
    The amount of pre-roll required varies with the deck. I believe DV decks are often set at 6 seconds. Digibeta is lower, at 3 seconds.
    As to why Capture now is generally a bad practice (or at least a sloppy one that can cause trouble) - By logging prior to capture, you can name your clips, and the quicktime media generated will have the same name. This is a LOT better that having a bunch of clips labeled untitled-1, untitled-2, etc littering your hard drive - especially if you run into the need to re-link your media.
    Also, historically, there were drawbacks to using capture now - one of which was that FCP tried to allocate your entire hard drive. Revisions 5 and later deal with this more gracefully.
    You also keep from filling your hard drive by FCP informing you if what you want to capture will actually fit on your scratch disk.
    Finally, that little pre-roll thing mentioned above can thwart your attempts to recapture your media at a later date... (or certainlly complicate them).

  • Export in Full Quality??

    With iMovie '06, all I had to do was click on "Full Quality" when exporting to have the video export in the same quality that it had been in as I was working on it. I can't find any way to do that with iMovie '11. I've tried Export Medium & Export Large, Export to Quicktime Broadband High as well as the default option, and every time the final video comes out fuzzy and not nearly as clear as the project I had been working on. The material is not in HD, but nevertheless the final exported product is always much lower quality than what it should be.
    Someone please tell me there's a way to export my video without vastly reducing the video quality. Thanks

    Hi
    The problem is - What do You mean by Full Quality. It's very different if Your original material is
    • miniDV tape PAL or NTSC refered to as DV and 25 or 29.97fps               
    • DVPRO
    • DV-HD
    • DV Widescreen (16x9)
    • HDV 1080i
    • HDV 720p
    • MPEG-4
    • iSight      
    • MPEG-2 from Cameras that records on DVD or miniDVD - some versions are OK
    • .mov 
    • .avi
    • AVCHD (= H.264)
    And - where You aim Your movie
    • as a DVD
    • YouTube
    • AppleTV
    • else
    IF You are as Me in miniDV tape age and aiming to do a DVD as result.
    Then and Only Then - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not the tools to USE as they all discard every second line
    in interlaced video on export - How-ever You trie to do it. Not Possibly.
    Tools to use are
    • iMovie up to HD6
    • FinalCut any version Express or Pro
    To re-install iMovie HD6 - You need the iLife 6 Disks or the one that Came with Your old Mac.
    From here You must seek the forum to figure out exact steps - Has been delivered several times during the Years.
    As I get it iMovie'11 has to be removed first - then iMovie HD6 installed then put application into a folder
    named iMovie Previous versions - Then iMovie'11 can be re-installed.

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?
