End of sequence lost when exporting

Hello everyone!
I have had the problem twice that after working on a sequence for a while it leaves out about ten seconds at the end when I export. The same sequence would have exported fine earlier on. I dont have any In and Out points, although I have tried this as well without success. I have used text on top of the image, and the audio files have been edited in Soundtrack Pro, but thats all the "fancy stuff" i have done. I have checked for blank spaces in between clips and dont have any.
Please help I have to submit something on Saturday and am feeling very unhappy ;-(
Very thankful for help

YUP! That's the problem.  FCP doesn't work well with H.264. The biggest issues are sync issues, something you might not see until you export.  The problem is that FCP SEEMS LIKE it'll work with that footage fine, it gives no warning.  Apple fixed this with FCX, making it ask if you want to "optimize" the footage...meaning convert it to ProRes.  FCP 7 and lower...didn't do that.  Thus it lead you down a bad path.
If you have H.264 footage, you need to convert it to ProREs before you start editing. Yes, the file sizes will increase dramatically, but that's what you need to do in order to work properly. Working with highly compressed footage like H.264 is difficult, takes a lot of resources. Adobe does this by having you load lots of RAM and use a graphics card that enables a special acceleration engine.  FCP 7 does not have this, so you need to convert.
The quick  solution here is to go to the SEQUENCE menu and choose SETTINGS. In the COMPRESSOR menu there, click on H.264 and scroll up to Apple ProRes 422.  Click OK.  Render the sequence (this will render it as ProRes)...and then export.

  • Formatting lost when exported to excel

    When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
    Thanks

    Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
    1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
    2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
    3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
    4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
    5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

  • The sequence number when exporting should represent stacks

    When exporting images, I would like the sequence number to apply to the first image in a stack, but the rest of the images in the stack should have the same number as the first one but with an extra suffix. Something like this:
    stack 1:
    DSCN0010.DNG
    DSCN0011.DNG
    DSCN0012.DNG
    stack 2:
    DSCN0013.DNG
    DSCN0014.DNG
    When exported, I would like them to be:
    DSCN0010.DNG --> "image-01.jpg"
    DSCN0011.DNG --> "image-01b.jpg"
    DSCN0012.DNG --> "image-01c.jpg"
    DSCN0013.DNG --> "image-02.jpg"
    DSCN0014.DNG --> "image-02b.jpg"

    Hi,
    The numbers in a CREATE SEQUENCE statement are all literals; no other kinds of numeric expressions are allowed.
    You need dynamic SQL to do anything like what you want. For example:
    COLUMN     seq_start_col     NEW_VALUE  seq_start
    SELECT     1 + MAX (val)     AS seq_start_col
    FROM     table_x;
    CCREATE SEQUENCE TEST_SEQ.NEXTVAL
    START WITH  &seq_start
    MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999
    MINVALUE 1
    NOCYCLE
    CACHE 20
    NOORDER;

  • Data lost when exporting from iPhoto?

    When exporting photos from iPhoto, the descriptions of the photos (here bird and animal names) get lost.  Is this true, or are we doing it incorrectly?
    Thanks!
    Ed

    It depends on how you exported.  To get the ITPC fileds written to the file it must be exported via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = JPEG and the two checkboxes checked:
    That will embed the metadata into the exported file.

  • 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?

  • Transitions seem to be lost when exporting to .swf

    Hi
    I am new to keynote, and intend to use it to create content for a media server that powers several networked plasma screens in my place of work.
    The media server runs on Linux, but can display .swf files alongside lots of other types of media. I want to use keynote because i can mix text and images etc in a tidy slideshow format.
    I have created a couple of presentations and exported them as .swf file. When I do this all of the transitions are lost and replaced with basic fades. This is ok, but it looks a bit rubbish compared to what keynote is capable of. Is there anyway around this? Does anyone know why this happens?
    Thanks in advance for any help..

    Oh well. That's annoying as it's one of the reasons I decided to go for iWork! Nevermind.. Any ideas on any other software that can do the same things and export to flash? I know i'm kind of describing something like Flash MX or similar. I don't need anything as sophisticated as that.. I want exactly the functionality of Keynote or Powerpoint, but with the ability to export to flash. I wonder if illuminatus does that?
    Thanks for your help..!

  • Track start times lost when exporting playlists

    I have about 1500 iTunes birdsong tracks I am transferring to a new computer. Each has its own start time which I manually edited (took 6+ hours!), track by track, to eliminate a guy's voice at the beginning of each track. Now when I export the playlist and transfer the files to a new computer, all of the track info (artist, name, album grouping, Composer, Comments, etc.) shows up, but the start times (as well as 'volume adjustment' and 'skip when shuffling') are lost. It appears this information is not encoded in the .xml resulting from the playlist export. Does anyone know how I can mass export (and subsequently mass import) these file data so as to avoid the 6+ hours work redoing the track start times by hand?
    Thanks!

    When you transfer a library to a new computer, do not try to do anything with the XML file.
    Rather, copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer. (If your library is not already consolidated, consolidate it first). This procedure brings over all the content as well as all the library data.

  • Source Timecode lost when exporting

    just a quick question:
    Hwo do I keep the sourcetimecode of a clip when I export it?
    I have a bunch of Red clips which I need to stabilize but when I export them I lose the source timecode of my clips, why?

    Thanks Brian... I did, I exported my sss.key into an sss.mov and I could run it 'manually' in QT (clicking on the screen change the slide.. good
    In QT Pro, I have an option to export this sss.mov for the web : multi-files
    sss.m4v, ReadMe.html, sss-poster.jpg, and sss.mov which is good for testing it embedded into html...
    this is where I lost the +manual functionality+....

  • Rollover effects are lost when exported as Fireworks HTML

    I created a simple graphic in Fireworks, which has a rollover
    effect. The finished symbol was assigned a LINK, ALT and TARGET in
    Fireworks, and exported as an .htm file. Every slice was selected
    and saved in the IMAGES folder.
    After I placed the htm file in Dreamweaver, I previewed it in
    Safari and FireFox. It worked perfectly. After I uploaded it to the
    Web Host, however, all effects were lost.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.jlwa.net
    The effects are limited to the word "enter."
    If anyone sees what I'm doing wrong, please let me know.
    THANKS!

    Lorraine, thanks for your advice. I will do as you

    though, my experience has not been good doing the build in
    Dreamweaver. Perhaps it is because I'm on a Mac...I don't
    know...everytime I try that the finish result pulls apart at the
    seams when viewed on a PC.
    On this page, for example:
    http://www.jlwa.net/projects.html,
    the Accordion (when viewed on a PC) has horizontal gaps between
    each of the Accordion's tabs, and all of the text, despite being
    set at "left" justification, appears as if I centered it. I'm still
    wrestling with this page to get it right.
    Thanks again - Paul
    Hmm. It looks okay in Chrome, but I see it pulls apart in IE
    7. That is probably due to inconsistencies in CSS rendering between
    the different browsers. Using Fireworks won't help you with that.
    You're going to have to modify the CSS to account for browser
    differences if you want it to address those little spaces. The CSS
    for the Spry accordion element is very simple and I don't see any
    hacks to get around the box model differences that I know people
    use. You might ask on the Dreamweaver forum, but it certainly isn't
    anything that Fireworks is going to fix for you.
    Also, there are some other maintenance issues I see in your
    page. Your navigation images are directly using the Fireworks
    naming scheme, such as jlwa_main_r2_c2_f2.jpg. When you export your
    images from Fireworks, give them good, reasonable names so that you
    can maintain the code. You have a row of unnecessary spacer gifs in
    your header. You should pull your CSS out into a separate file,
    rather than having it embedded into each and every file. That way,
    you only need to edit it in one place to have it take effect
    everywhere. Give your styles meaningful names, too, descriptive of
    their purpose. You have style1, style4, style5. If you want to edit
    them, you don't even know what they are without digging into the
    HTML code.

  • Track Sequence Lost when moving files

    Hi there,
    We had a breech of access in one of our labs, and an account that was created by a student (and set to admin) was deleted. The student was working on several FCP projects in this account, and rather than deleting the data I copied the entire user folder to the /Users/Shared folder for the student to access within his own account (set the approriate permissions and everything).
    The student is now claiming that after the files were moved, that the track sequence is now not there. There were like 4-5 video tracks and many audio tracks. The only thing that shows up is one video track, and 2 audio tracks. Is there anything that can be done, or is the data lost? Is it possible for this to happen? Thanks for any help, as I am not that familiar with Final Cut Pro.

    If you click on the desktop and press command(apple)+F and do a search for 'Autosave Vault' you will find a folder that stores all the saved FCP projects that your system has archived.
    Each project will have it's own holder within the Autosave Vault folder.
    When you look in a folder, the most recent version is at the BOTTOM, not the top.
    If you go to User Preferences in FCP, in the bottom left corner you will see the time settings for the Autosave function. If you open up the Log and Capture window and go to 'Scratch Disc' you will see where the files are saved to.
    Good luck.

  • Sound is lost when exporting or sending to iDVD

    My project has sound in iMovie (8), but when I (a) export to Quicktime, or (b) send to iDVD, the sound is lost. I presume that some box hasn't been checked, but I've no idea what it can be

    Well, I did this: I made a copy of the project, and then exported to Quicktime, and the sound was there! Then I sent the duplicated project to iDVD, and the sound was there as well!
    This is not really satisfying, because I didn't discover what the original problem was - unless it's just a 'feature' of iMovie 09 that some projects need to be duplicated in this way.
    (By the way, I've read that there are three check boxes in Timeline view (and that they all need to be checked), but I've no idea where they are.)

  • Connection to Discoverer Plus (10g) lost when exporting workbook to Excel

    I have a user who was exporting a workbook to Excel and it showed that the export failed. When she closed that box, she got a message that her Connection to Discoverer was lost.
    Anyone experienced this one? Any ideas why this is happening?
    Cindy

    Hi Kevin
    It will do this if you change the parameters away from the default and you have told Discoverer to remember parameter settings. This is controlled by an entry called SaveLastUsedParamValue in pref.txt on the server.
    If this is the cause then its not a bug. All Discoverer thinks is that you have changed something. Even switching an item in Page Items could trigger this.
    If you have users who only need to View reports why not use Viewer? You can turn off saving altogether there if you so wish.
    Best wishes

  • Interesting Problem: Songs get lost when exporting and importing a playlist

    So I exported my library as a txt playlist, removed some songs, and imported that new smaller playlist, and I get the "some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found."
    I then exported the new playlist to compare, and there were about 200 songs that itunes wasnt able to import (even though they exist in my library). I didn't alter any of the data in the origional playlist txt doc (only deleted rows), and didn't move the files at all.
    Of the files that weren't imported, I can play just fine in my Music library.
    Any ideas why some of the songs exported from itunes, can't be imported as a playlist?
    For troubleshooting purposes: none of the songs are protected, the largest text length in any field of the ones not imported is 195 characters, all of the songs are on a removable HDD but the HDD is connected just fine (I can see and play the songs it doesn't import back in from my library).
    If this is confusing, I'll tell you what I am doing and hopefully it will make sense. I like my music labeled thusly: White Stripes, The NOT The White Stripes
    The way I find to best acheive this is leave the artist field The White Stripes, but make Album Artist field White Stripes, The
    So I wanted to find all the songs with artists that begin with The (and no I don't want to just search because I end up with a lot of extra stuff, and sorting by artist doesn't group all of the bands with the in the T's). So what I did was export my library as a playlist, sort by alpha in excell (where The White Stripes shows up in the T's instead of the W's), deleted everything else (except the header row of course), and tryed to import the playlist hoping I could just change stuff by selecting the playlist). But it didn't import a bunch of my songs that the program itself exported a few minutes earlier.

    still curious why a playlist exported from iTunes is not always a vaild format for input back into iTunes
    Not sure, but editing a playlist export and then importing the change back into iTunes is kind of dicey -- maybe you edited too much and cut off some important information? Glad that your ultimate goal has a solution though.

  • Links lost when exporting to INX file in CS4 for Mac.

    I am working with a remote designer who is still in InDesign CS3, but I have CS4. We are both using Macintosh computers. When he emails me a CS3 file, I open it and it converts to CS4, and the links all seem to be just fine: They're missing, because he hasn't sent me the linked files, but the previews and the names of the links are all fine. But when I export the file as Indesign Interchange - INX - format and email it back to him, he opens it and all the links are gone -- they are replaced withe gibberish, and the only way to get the file back is to remember where the links were and manually re-link everything. This is a known bug, and I understand it was fixed in the Windows version of CS4 with an update. Does anyone know when it will be fixed in the Mac version? We are about to have to revert to QuarkXpress, because this is an untenable way to work.
    Thank you.

    The release notes for the updates indicate that the problem was fixed. If you've applied the update, you might re-check your version number and make sure that it "took".
