Export avi file

Hi,
I'm trying to export an AVI file in fcp 4. But the result is that the movement is not 'flowing'. Wich settings do I have to use.
Thanks,
Mable
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm working in pal and I want to export a 20 min
movie as a AVI file. I tried several settings but the
movement isn't 'flowing'. What's the best setting:
Cinepak or DVpal, how many frames etc.
Cinepak is an old compression method. You are better off using one of MPEG-4 algorithms.
Since you are in Europe, the best frame rate will be probably 25. But it all depends on what you are exactly working on and how your client uses it.
I tried to play the .AVI on a Mac and a PC, and on
both computers the movie wasn't playing smoothly.
Simply, reduce the video bitrate.

Why does "only" my Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?

Why does Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?
but when I watch Youtube video, there are avi file format option in CS6!!!!!!!
Can anybody help me?
WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash uses the Adobe Media Converter to create the video output. If you select the "Use Media Converter" option after selecting to output to Quicktime, and, if your computer has the AVI codec installed, you should be able to export to an AVI file.

Export AVI files to iMovie

Hello, sorry for my english,
I'm getting mad...
I have an avi file with following parameter:
DivX 4 (Perian), 720 x 480, Milioni
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
29,97 FPS
it's about 600 MB
I would like to import it in iMovie, so I try to export it as iMovie doesn't like this format...
I really don't know what export format should I choose in order to:
- Keep same quality
- Keep quite same dimension
I tried so many ways but I get either urgly video quality or dimension like 60GB !!!
What am I missing ?

iMovie is meant for camcorder imports = very few 'formats' supported, divx is not.
use Mpeg Streamclip (hey, Italian invention!! ) to convert into dv-stream, NTSC, 48kHz audio, 29.97 framerate.
1h of such an encoded file is about 13GBs..
don't forget to set iMovie to NTSC/29.97 fps either!
(changes take effect after relaunch of iMovie!)
otherwise, iM will convert it again.. to PAL ..
dv-stream is iM≤6 native format - as from miniDV camcorders..

Cs 5.5 low quality exported avi file

i imported a avi file and recorded audio clips to voice over the avi. the original avi file was a screen capture using Camtasia software. when i edited the avi file i had to make cuts and copy and past and sometimes stretch the avi to accomodate the voice overs. so after all is said and done the exported file looks like crap and you can't read the words or make out the transistions. How can i improve the quality of the avi on export? please help

As Harm alludes, AVI can contain almost anything. Take a look at this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
For Camtasia footage, see this article, and especially Jeff Bellune's comments in the linked threads: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2324919#2324919 There are many references to earlier versions of PrPro, but most will apply to CS 5 and later.
Good luck,

Aperture crashes upon trying to play video. Exporting .AVI file wont play.

Hi,
I uploaded my holiday pictures and 4 videos into Aperture and when I try to play the videos I get pretty bad beachball with no playback of the video. When I export the file I am presented with a SAM_xxx.AVI file. (SAM from Samsung camera). I have tried to play the file with Quicktime, VLC & MPlayer X. I ran the 4 files through DivFix++ and I am given the error, "Input file is not .avi"
Any thoughts as to whats going on? Aperture shows a thumbnail for the videos and VLC shows correct length but no playback.
Thanks

I have both an iPad and iPhone connected to my Mac. I disconnected both, then restarted my Mac and Safari. No improvement. Used Lion Recovery System to reload Lion. Interesting thing, Safari 5.1.7 was installed rather than Safari 6. This made me happy, as Safari 6 has been nothing but trouble for me. When I opened Safari, it took me back to apple.com, even though my homepage is yahoo.com. I was immediately confronted with the infamous Steve Jobs video, that has crashed my computer every time it's popped up on my screen. This time, however, it didn't crash ... I just got the spinning beachball for about 30 seconds, then the Quicktime thermometer at the bottom started moving and I was sure it was going to work. After the thermomter passed about one-fourth of the way over, the screen blanked and the Quicktime thermometer started all over again. This behavior persisted until I got tired of it and went to my home page. However, I can open Quicktime and watch videos again, even the YouTube ones that were crashing every time. Now I just have to figure out how to never let a Software Update stick me with Safari 6 ever again. If it does, I'm simply through with it and will make Firefox my default browser. Thank you so much for getting me this far. I will keep monitoring these discussions to see if Apple ever gets Safari 6 to the point that I'll give it another trial.

Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

Quicktime exporting AVI files

At Videography Lab we are testing the Pentax Optio W30 and W60 cameras. Both are waterproof but the W60 has a wider lens which we prefer. Unfortunately in upgrading their camera, Pentax moved from a native Quicktime movie to an AVI.
We had gotten quite happy with Quicktime Pros quick edit trimming capability. So we started opening the AVI files with Quicktime Pro and trimming. Than when we were finished we Save As . . . and only get the Quciktime Movie format.
We would like to save them as AVI files. One reason is that Windows XP gives a key frame for AVI movies but only a Q logo for Quicktime movies.
So is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?

is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?
What KIND of AVI file. AVI is just a wrapper. Many of the newer cameras use some form of mpg-4 codec in the AVI files. Open the file in the Quicktime player and do a "Window>Show Movie Properties". What video and audio CODEC are shown?
BTW, I use VisualHub to work with my problem AVI files on the Mac side.

Is there a way to export .avi files to .mp4 en masse in Quicktime Pro?

Hiya.
What I've been doing for some time now is taking the .avi movie files my Canon camera creates, and exporting them as h264 .mp4 files which cuts the file size by more than half with minimal quality loss. But at this moment, I have almost 100 video files that I would like to do and this process would be much, much, better if I could que them up.
Can you do this in Quicktime Pro and if not, another program?
Thanks!

Hi,
This can also be done with SimpleMovieX.

Note that I'm the developer of this application. It may not be as free as MPEG Streamclip, but at least it's supported.

Problem exporting avi files to Flickr

Hi,
I'm using iphoto '09 and I have a pro subscription on Flickr. When uploading one of my albums to Flickr which contains a few small avi videos (I'm talking of duraitons no longer than a couple of minutes) in amongst the photos, when I look at the set on Flickr the videos are just photos (the thumbnails of the video in iphoto). Any idea why this happens? Incorrect video format? iPhoto/Flickr simply doesn't let you do this? Does a newer version of iPhoto allow it?
Thanks,
Ali.

Thanks. I feared as much...
It's actually easier if I just locate the videos through the flickr upload dialogue box. I just look for Media > Photos > My album

Export avi

Hi.
I'm having trouble in exporting avi files from imovie.
I'm importing from camera (imovie divides in clips, how to stop this?) and exporting the entire tape to file (.avi), but it just exports the first 3 or 4 minute, though the file has 12 gigas.
How can I export a complete tape to avi?
Thanks
Fernando

Welcome fpaleixo to the  iMovie boards..
avi is an old, Windows based media converter.. little supported on Mac platform.
the media container in the Mac world is called .mov.
a media container is NO format - just 'a box of chocolate', containing all kind of codecs...- the many export settings of iMovie allow all kind of codecs, h264, mpeg4, dv, .. plug-ins allow export as wmv, divx.. 3rd party converter support codecs as flv ...
... How can I export a complete tape to avi?
so, as Sheryl asked you: what is your intend?
.. and, why should someone export a whole tape without editing ?

Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

[email protected]
VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
I trust it much more.
And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
That codec will not be displayed in the extension.

I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
That is an uncompressed format.
While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
Good luck to you all!
And have a great week!

Can't Play AVI files (revisited)

I have installed both the DivX and Perian bundles and I am still get the white frame in QuickTime when I try to play an AVI file. Does anyone have any solutions on how to get AVI files to play in QuickTime?
My workflow is this... I have created uncompressed Animation codec QuickTime movies in After Effects. I then open them up in QuickTimePro and they play just fine. I then export to my client's preferred format, AVI. I've done this in the past with success, but now in QuickTime 7.6 they do not work. Even the files I exported 6 months ago that played fine at that time, now will not play, showing only the white frame. Below are the specs on each file.
My original After Effects rendered QuickTime movie is:
Inspector
Format: Animation codec, 12320 x 24, Millions
FPS: 29.97 fps
Data Size: 358.55 MB
Data Rate: 100.05 mbits/s
Duration: :30 seconds
Properties
Format: Animation
My QuickTimePro exported AVI file is:
Inspector
Format: " codec, 12320 x 24, Millions
FPS: 29.97 fps
Data Size: 762.20 MB
Data Rate: 212.68 mbits/s
Duration: :30 seconds
Properties
Format: (none listed)
I suspect the AVI codec format of " may have something to do with this issue, but what does " mean and how do I fix "

Why do you need AVI? It is an out of date container and QuickTime Pro only supports a few codecs in its exports.
762 MB's for a 30 second file? Data rate that exceeds most modern machine playback ability.
DivX and Perian are not involved in your export.
Examine the export dialog window and find out which video codec you used in your file.

Downloading avi files from camera

I have a Canon Powershot s230 and usually I can easily download my video clips (avi format). However, every once in a while, iPhoto just acts like it is downloading but it gets "stuck." It doesn't download the video clip or anything taken after. I notice it only when the files are large. I read another user was successful with ImageCapture, but I tried that and had no luck.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any way to resolve this other than deleting the clip from the camera and re-trying?

"I notice it only when the files are large."
How large? See Knowledge Base Article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93490 QuickTime: Exporting AVI Files Larger Than 1 GB

No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.
