Export adds 200MB to a 13MB clip

Greetings,
Unfortunately I have run into a bit of an issue when exporting from CS5. 
I have trimmed about 10 seconds off a small 14MB Quicktime clip and when I export, as a Quicktime file, it comes out as more than 200MB.
Am I doing something wrong?  I have completed the same, seemingly, quick and easy process in iMovie and it does not add hundreds of MB's.
Seems like I shouldnt have to compromise the quality of such a small clip by adjusting settings when my only intention is to shorten it (make it even smaller).
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Billy

See below -- thanks!

  • How to SIMPLY add audio crossfade between two clips ?

    Tried to make a simple cut edit for tv news.
    How to add an audio crossfade between two clips to soften transition ?
    Detach audio, then create audio only scenario, then add transition ? Unusable.
    When importing 8 tracks from Xdcam HD, how do you choose wich audio track to add your transition to ?
    Also, impossible to re-export to Xdcam disk on the field.
    This piece of software is simply unusable in real life pro conditions. Some very nice features, globally a disaster.

    First thank you all for taking time to reply.
    I found these solutions myself but for me these are only workaround.
    In Fcp7, you just had to drag and drop dissolve transition to clips junctions TO AUDIO TRACK ONLY. Very quick and simple. In Fcpx, it is very time consuming if you want to add audio crossfade to every clip junction in a full project. That's really not a software evolution in my opinion...
    I think "easy transitions to audio tracks only" has to be implemented in next version.
    Thanks again !

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

    Greetings -
    Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have.  I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means.  I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip.  If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
    Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip?  I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • How to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline?

    Is it possible to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline without going 1 by 1?  I have over 1,000 clips in the timeline and I need to add a chapter marker for every clip.

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not. I've been using Compound clips, and I wanted chapter markers at the start of each compound clip, with the text in the marker set to the name of the compound clip.
    I developed a keystroke workflow to do this, then used an application called "Keyboard Maestro" to record the keystrokes and reply them each time I press a hotkey. I had to add some timing delays, but once I did, it works great. All I have to do is press the hotkey, and it moves to the start of the next clip and adds the chapter marker. I even created another keystroke that does this 10 times in a row, so I only had to press it once for each 10 clips (because of timing issues, you can't just press the hotkey 10 times quickly).
    If you're interested in more details, I can supply them, but I won't bother unless this sounds like something that might help you.

  • HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
    I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try.  The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
    Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
    In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
    These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
    So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

  • FCP won't add cross dissolve transition to clips

    After putting two Quicktime clips into FCP, I attempted to add a cross dissolve transition in between the two clips. When I dragged the cross dissolve transition to the two clips, nothing happened. That transition had been used before, and as far as I can tell, nothing was different this time than all the previous times. For some odd reason, FCP refuses to add the transition to those clips.
    Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas on what could have happened? More importantly, is there a way to work around this problem?
    Thanks!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    This is a problem when you do not edit down your raw clips and drop them into the timeline as they have been captured.
    The operative concept is 'handles'.
    For transitions to work, you need enough unused footage AFTER the OUT point of first (outgoing) clip and BEFORE the IN point of the second (incoming) clip.
    Drop the first clip into the Viewer and set an OUT point 30 frames or so from the end of the clip. Drop the second clip into the Viewer and set the IN point 30 frames or so past the beginning of the clip.
    Now try to place your transition.

  • Exporting video holds on the second 'clip', but audio exports correctly

    i'm exporting a project from imovie, i have a number of clips in there (which was originally a single video, but split up) and an audio track. when i first exported it as 'web', it worked fine, but when i tried to increase the quality settings via exporting to quicktime, it exports video up until the end of the first clip, and then just holds on that frame until the end of the video. the length is correct, and the audio exports correctly, but the video is just still.
    any thoughts?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? Have you created the narration in Premiere Elements
    using the Narration Tool? Do you have the problem in the export if you move the narration clip to one of the numbered Audio Tracks before export?
    Are you using the SmartFix feature in this project? If so, have you checked your background foreground settings?
    But, before that, is the sound on all the audio tracks OK when evaluated in the Edit area? Is the sound a problem only in the export?
    If you are having sound problems in the Edit area before export, are you adjusting the volume while viewing the Audio Meters
    typically found under Window Menu/Audio Meters.
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Can't add Transitions b/w LiveType clips in FCE

    I'm making small promo movie in FCE, with a lot of LiveType clips interspersed with some movie clips (Apple Interm. Codec--but I've also tried using DV-NTSC). My problem: when I've strung together several LT clips (.ipr--but also .mov after rendering) I can't add transitions b/w them in FCE (and can't add trans. b/w a LT and movie clip). I get msg: "insufficient content for edit."
    I don't understand well the whole codec process. I've read here that the properties need to be the same b/w LT and FCE, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. The property options in both programs have slightly different presets and I've tried to match the codec & aspect ratios etc. as best I can. Since I don't know what I'm doing in this area, I've tried to match things up as best as possible, yet no luck.
    BUT, even when I've opened a brand new project in FCE, brought in several .ipr clips (w/out bringing in any movie clips), I still can't add transitions b/w .ipr clips (or LT .mov files).
    Help! What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    OKay, but how do i do it..
    I have 2 movies...I want a transition of 2 seconds..do i Mark in from the point of the first movie where i want to have the transition to start ? And out in the 2nd movie where i want it to finished (maximum) ?
    Or do i mark out on the first movie and mark in on the 2nd movie ?
    The whole day i am trying things but nothing works for me.
    I even did see a video tut that says it's because the videos are not NTSC...But they are HD so that wouldn make a problem ? Or does it ?
    Sorry for these simple questions but there is no tut in my language and i can't find a forum that explains it in dutch..
    Thanks in advance

  • How to add .mov extension to Quicktime clips ?

    Not to exported movies but to all the individual clips / movies, created
    by capturing process. I know I have seen the box to check / uncheck ( add
    .mov extension.
    Obviously I didn't check it, but now need to.
    Doesn't seem to be a quicktime option / preference.
    Where in FCP ?
    tHANKS

    Too, you can download a simple Automator Action, like Change Extension. Then in Automator choose, File > Import Actions, point to this new file.
    Then the fully constructed Automator workflow is quite simple: 2 steps. Like this:
    Or, you can download a super simple app like R-Name.
    It's got an option there, "Add Extension". Couldn't be easier to use. I use this app quite a bit.

  • Export adds black space to front of quicktime video

    I have an iMovie I wanted to include on an existing web page so I exported it, selecting Quicktime and Export for Web. But when I view the movie in Quicktime, the first 6 seconds are a black screen!
    Thinking I did not have the starting position right, I placed the start bar a few seconds into the clip and tried again. Again, 6 seconds of black, then the movie started where I indicated.
    What setting am I missing? I've gone thru various preferences but cannot find anything. Why would I get this black space???

    You can make use of column properties->Horizontal Alignment = Right and Vertical Alignment=Top, But you have multiple requests in your report. The approach is to differentiate different levels and apply conditional formatting. Try this approach,
    1. Click on the combined request so that you can see "Add Result column" option in the left pane
    2. Click on "Add Result Column", in the column formula type in your time dimension column (if the column is in first posiiton type saw_0)
    3.Again Click on "Add Result Column" , in the column formula enter : case when LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 then 2 else 1 end
    Here LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 will return only month records (i.e)200901,200902 etc
    4.Now click on column properties of the new column added in step2, goto conditional formatting->Add Condition ->Select the column added in step 3 ->
    Case when LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 then 2 else 1 end = 2 then format -> Horizontal Alignment = Right and Vertical Alignment=Top
    This will indent the month column to right. This will work when exported to pdf.

  • When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

    We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
    What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
    I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
    I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
    Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    64bit OS
    After Effects 5

    I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
    Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
    It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
    Thanks for your responses thus far.

  • Trouble Exporting movie with Media Encoder, weird clip sizes and errors

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP Professional with 2gb RAM and 1.6GHz.  I'm trying to export a short movie (2.5 minutes) with no audio.  It is just a bunch of stitched together videos imported from 1280x 1024.  I'm sizing them into 720 x 480.  I get very poor video quality unless I use uncompressed formats, so I am using an Uncompressed AVI with UYVY Codec and 1.0 square pixels.
    1st problem: I get an error running more than around 35-50seconds:
    The Operation was interrupted by user

    Unknown error.
    Its very consistent with having this error.  I'm pretty sure there is plenty of room for the files, it only gets up to around 2.5gb.  I can watch the movie up to where the error occurs and there is no problem.
    2nd: I tried spliting the video up into 4 different files and the last clip won't match the others.  I export all of them the same way, with 1.0 aspect ratio and the first 3 come out saying .9091NTSC.  The last one will say it is 1.0 ratio if I do it the same way or 0.9091 NTSC  if I change it, but either way, it will come out wider that the other clips (they will all still have black space on sides).

  • Final Cut Pro 7 exporting adds frames before transitions.

    When I export a movie from my sequence the movie adds one or two blank black frames before the transition starts. It does not happen when I render the video out and watch it (preview). It only happens when I export the movie. There are NO breaks in my time code and every video has plenty if handles on either side. Any ideas on how to fix this or why it is happening would be greatly appreciated!
    Key Points - Only happens when I export the movie and never when I am previewing it. There are NO breaks in my time code.
    -Martin

    Thanks, it was actually a mixture of your two questions let allowed me to figure the issue out. I was exporting it at 25FPS while the sequence setting was at 30FPS. I bumped up the export setting to the 30FPS and it plays through the transitions just fine.
    It was a user error! :-D
    Thanks guys.

  • Add length to animated background clip--how does one do that?

    Howdy there,
    I am kind of new with Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express...I just purchased some animated clips off a website to use as a background for a foreground clip after getting the chroma key worked out with the green screen thing. What i am struggling with is to add length to the animated background clips. I can easily do that with still image where i can just change the time length but with a video, i.e. a .mov file used in the V1 track to go with a video in the V2 track it would not let me do that. The animated background clips that i have are something like 30 seconds long and i want to make them to be as long as i want them to be.
    By the way, on my MacBook it is Final Cut Express, so i don't know if that makes a difference in having such capacity.
    Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

    You could change the speed of the animated clip. But if you want a longer clip without a speed change, you'll have to either buy the length you need, use a loopable clip, or make your own.
