Expert Settings - Help

Hi -
I have filmed and edited in 16:9.
I export using Full Quality and it comes out 4:3
Then when I tweak at the expert settings it works BUT....
...when dragged into an iDVD project and previewed it goes back to 4:3.
I'm struggling here!
Can anyone give me a foolproof way of exporting and saving as 16:9. I have a lot more to do! (I cannot just share to iDVD as I have 2 separate iMovie projects to take from)
Thanks in advance
Pete (London)

Can anyone give me a foolproof way of exporting and
saving as 16:9. I have a lot more to do! (I cannot
just share to iDVD as I have 2 separate iMovie
projects to take from)
Instead of Sharing, drag the iMovie project icon from its Finder window into the iDVD project window. Then iDVD will know to use the 16:9 aspect ratio.
(iMovie stores a movie inside the project specifically designed for iDVD. When we drop the iMovie project into the iDVD window iDVD grabs that movie.)

Trying to share movie with "Expert Settings" - nothing happens (help?)

When trying to "share" (export) my movie, if I select the "Expert Settings" option, nothing happens. That is, if I select "Expert Settings" and click "Share", then a dialogue window displays briefly and disappears, and the main iMovie window returns.
I'm running iMovie 4.01 on Jaguar. I tried deleting my iMovie prefs and the ~/Library/iMovie files, didn't help.
My iMovie project was previously corrupted somehow, I started a new project and imported the old ".mov" file to try to salvage it. This seems to have worked somewhat (I can play the movie and I can export it in some formats). But I can't use expert settings.
Help?
Neal

Two things you might consider:
- QuickTime export may fail if the ~/Movies folder is missing. Re-create that folder if that is the case.
- iMovie 2.1.1 can't export to QuickTime if Roxio Toast Titanium 5.0.1-5.1.1's Toast Video CD Export 1.0 is in iMovie's Resources:Plugins: folder. Toast Titanium 5.1.2 installs Toast Video CD Export 1.4 which fixes this. With new Toast versions this is not an issue.

Help needed for exporting video under expert settings

I was exporting my 4+ minutes video that I had created under expert settings (Compression type: H.264, Frame rate: 29.95, Key frames: automatic with frame reordering checked, Compressor quality: Best, Encoding: Best(muti-pass) & Data rate: Automatic). After the process was finished, I found out that the video would play normally for the first 25 seconds and then the video will freeze but the audio continues to play as normal. I then tried using the CD-ROM option instead of the expert settings and the video exported was playing fine.
I was using iMovie 5.0.2 and I have Quicktime 7.1.3 and iTunes 7.0.1
Help is much appreciated!

Open the poorly working file in QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Info window.
What is the data rate of the file? If it is too high your machine is probably too under powered to play it.

IMovie to Quicktime using expert export settings - help with size settings

I want to produce PAL DVDs in widescreen format using iDVD. The original video was recorded in standard size and I want to use iMovie HD to produce Quicktime movies for these DVDs.
I am using the expert settings to export to Quicktime files. I am using H.264 compression.
It is the size settings that I need your advice.
Which do I use? PAL 720x576 4:3, or PAL 720x576 16:9, or one of the HD settings?
Do I preserve aspect ratio?
I have looked through many posts, etc but none readily answers my issue with size settings.

Yes - footage is in 4:3
I want to show the DVDs on widescreen TVs but not sure if TVs automatically adjust 4:3
movies into widescreen ratio (say with letterboxing).
For my standard footage video,I guess I am not sure of what ratios I should be using at the iMovie export to QuickTime stage, and then whether to set the iDVD project into 16:9 format, or leave it in 4:3 format and hope to widescreen TV do the converting.

Exporting Using Expert Settings Problem

When I try exporting using expert settings, which is pretty much necessary, any video that I export, in just about any format, but usually .mov or .mp4 looks very strange. Any moving objects appear to be broken up by horizontal lines. I do not know much about these sorts of issues, but I'm guessing it's a problem with the frame rate. I've tried just about every frame rate and nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help!
P.S. Same thing happens when exporting from iMovie!

It means the timeline settings. If your project is DV, then it will export a DV quality file. If your settings are Offline RT, it will export an offline RT formatted Quicktime...if they are 8-bit uncompressed, an 8-bit uncompressed QT...etc. And the same frame rate as well, 23.98, 29.97 and so on.
It basically means that no further compression is occurring.

File Compression Error Occurred on Expert Settings

I finally thought I had a decent set of settings to compress the QT movie for YouTube (and will tweak this now that each ten minute movie can be 1 gig! Hooray!). So I used what had worked on the previous movies and got the error
File Compression Error Occurred
The movie could not be properly compressed. The movie may contain some data that is invalid for the type of compression selected.
The movie itself contains imported footage from my camcorder (DV), as I usually use. And I used only iMovie stock music loops and one Sfx...all aif files.
I've tried tweaking the settings of Expert Settings here and there. Changed the 15 fps to 30. Made the Key At this point, what do I look at? Something within the movie itself? Or the settings (H.264, qual. Hi but also tried med, Frame rate tried 15 and 30, Key frame rate tried Auto and 10, Encoding multi-pass, Dimen. 640x480, Scale Letterbox. Sound is ACC, 24,000 kHz, stereo, bit rate 48kbps. Prepare for internet streaming is unchecked currently. Think it was that way when I last made a movie.
Don't know where to continue to troubleshoot this. URmpfff. Help!

Wow...this is a sticky problem. I could not resave the movie as another name. Frozen program, pinwheel of death, etc. I've had about three frozen attempts since I first wrote...
Googling phrase from error message got only a few lost souls who never did post the solution. One solution someone had figured the problem was with Flip4Mac...to uninstall it, but they had problems uninstalling it. So did it...frozen computer).
I did get this solution to work to move my movie along. It saved rather quickly to a 350 meg or so full quality file on Expert settings. Then got a single .dv file. Imported that into a new iMovie project (wonderful....that I titled My Great Movie fer petes sake...Hope I remember to retitle it.
Along the way were error messages like Error 54, no permission to write to file, no hard drive space, etc. Baloney, I think...or is there any clue in all this?
Thanks.

Expert Settings in iMovie to create one-minute clip for "wmv"?

Hello,
I want to send my Windows pals a one-minute clip from an iMovie Project. I hit "expert settings," choose "WMV-9" and "default settings." File is not created.
Then, I try again and choose "custom" after "WMV-9," and the clip created is only 21 seconds long. I tried this many times and it was always the same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frankie G.

http://www.popwire.com/
It's $30. And it "sort of" installed if WMP options
are offered to you.
QTKirk,
I'm proud and grateful to report that it was your previous message that put me on the right track. In the QT Library I found the WMV-9 doc, which made me look for the program. I found it using Spotlight, and when I tried to install it--no go. So, I googled "WMV-9 Export" and it took me to the popwire site you mention above.
Something else I discovered (I'm fairly new at this): It's best to Copy and Paste the Key you buy to make the download viable. I had to register the key online, and then open QT, choose a clip to "Share" and Export to WMV-9, then look for a Key tab and paste the Key into it.
Once I got that straight I was in business. My WM players pals are happy they can see more than 21 seconds of my video clips.
Thanks again for your help. Problem solved. On to the next one.

What format in expert settings for fast start on the web?

I exported a slide show to QT from iPhoto. Unlike imovie that gives you the possibility to use expert settings to export a fast start, iPhoto doe not have the option to export to expert settings.
I want my QT slide show to begin to play as it uploads on the .mac web page. By accident, (I don't know what I did) one of my video has a fast start on my web pages, it starts playing before it has finished uploading. On the other hand, most of my other videos or QT slide show, have to fully upload, which can take 5-10 minutes, before the viewer can see it playing.
Also, If I open my QT slide show exported from iPhoto in the size of 7.1MB, and re-export it using QT pro expert settings using Fast start, the file become 91MB big...... way too big to post on the .mac account!
What is the difference between hinted, streaming, fast start, and compressed header? I'm getting a little confused with the choices!!!
please help!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
michel

Some iPhoto slide shows (those that use only the fade effect) do not fast start. They are made up of three video tracks slightly offset in time and a tween track that sets the fade.
You could open them in QT Pro and use the save as menu. No re-compression but the file size will become three times larger because each of the video tracks will become independent (for lack of a better word). This new file will fast start.
Exporting isn't a good choice unless you use identical settings to the original (Photo-JPEG video codec and an extremely low frame rate).
The file size of the original is "trick" that can only be performed by iPhoto.

Experts plz help its very urgent

hi expert
plz help- me
previously i was getting dump in this statement
TRANSFER v_tab TO p_file.
FYI:
here v_tab is a table which hav som records
and p_file contains the path of a file like c:\new\ggg.txt
DATA: v_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_line WITH HEADER LINE,
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_line,
       pspid(9) TYPE c,
       tab1 TYPE x,
       post1 TYPE proj-post1,
       tab2 TYPE x,
       vernr TYPE prps-vernr,
       tab3 TYPE x,
END OF t_line.
DUMP I WAS GETTIN :
For the statement
   "TRANSFER f TO ..."
only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "T_LINE". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.
to avoid this dump i used feild symbol
assign V_TAB to <IN> casting.
      p_file = <in>.
      unassign <IN>.
nw there is no dump
but problem is p_file contains the contents of v_tab not the file path .
plz help me its very urgent
thanx in advance

Hey, no probs,
after your initial declaration, do this.
TYPES: BEGIN OF n_line,
pspid(9) TYPE c,
tab1(15) TYPE c,        "check the length you want
post1 TYPE proj-post1,
tab2(15) TYPE c,         "check the length you want
vernr TYPE prps-vernr,
tab3(15) TYPE c,         "check the length you want
END OF t_line.
DATA: n_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF n_line WITH HEADER LINE.
now after you fetch data into v_tab,
move it to n_tab.
using a loop at v_tab and move corresponding fields to n_tab's work area
append to n_tab.
once you have populated n_tab and are ready to TRANSFER.
OPEN your file using
open dataset <file> for output in text mode encoding default.
now
loop at n_tab.
TRANSFER n_tab to p_file.
endloop.
CLOSE DATASET.

read textpool rname into rpool_1 language sy-langu.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING rpool_1 TO rpool.
write : rpool-id, rpool-text, rpool-name.
later on in the program we r using name and text fields but in this when i debugged it is nt able to identify name and text fields only showing the value of id bcoz id is also dere in textpool structure.
