Export (AVI) project to a DV ???

I created a project inside iMovie4, from AVI clips (from my digital photo camera). I can burn that project on a DVD, that's fine, but iMovie says i cannot export it to a DV, because it's not the same kind of clips than the DV.
Any solution ???
I've exported "regular" iMovie projects, from recorded clips on the DV, back to my DV before. I use those "exports on DV" as best quality archives, not using too much memory on a HD.

This is the Final Cut Pro forum and all the solutions I could name involve using plugins within FCP.
You may find more help in the iMovie forum, located here:

good luck.

  • How to export HD-project to .avi including HD-quality and timecodes

    Hi,
    I have an iMovie HD 6 project that I have imported from my Sony HDR-HC3 HD video camera. The project is a HD-1080i-25 project. I want to export this project to an AVI keeping the HD quality (same quality as the DV-tape). What settings should I use to make this happen? I don’t want to export it as a QuickTime .mov file but as an .AVI file that I am able to play in a media player that supports HD. I also want to keep the 16:9 format and timecodes. One other purpose with this file is as a backup (if the DV-tape should be damaged) so it must be possible to import it into iMovie again if that should be necessary.
    Is all this possible?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jarle

    Your best option is to export to .dv using the Full Quality DV preset. It will preserve all quality including the timecode.
    On the other hand the Expert export settinngs of iMovie 5 and 6 are buggy because exporting via the expert settings as a DV stream or .avi deinterlaces video and loses the timestamp!!
    Workarounds: Export .dv via the Full Quality preset (this is more convenient anyway). Exporting as .dv (or DV-encoded .avi) via QuickTime Player Pro also preserves interlacing and timecode.
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#expertsettings
    If you export via QuickTime Player Pro, then use the following settings:
    Export: Movie to DV Stream
    DV Format: DV
    Video format: PAL (I am European)
    Scan: Interlaced (notice that this option only sets the corresponding flag -- it does not do ANYTHING else to the video!)
    Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (this options also sets the corresponding flag so other apps can properly treat the file)
    Audio Format Rate: 48.000 kHz (I believe there is not much difference between locked vs unlocked audio -- unlocked seems to be the default)

  • I am trying to export my project to an avi file, but its only exporting the audio, help?

    I am trying to export my project to an avi file, but its only exporting the audio, help? I can open the avi file but there is not video. I am choosing uncompressed avi, 1080x720 frame rate 29.97, what can i do?

    The above was a quote and AME is not necessary.  From the Timeline selected Ctrl-M brings up the Export window.  There select "AVI" and under Video Codec below select "None"

  • How can I export my project which is a fla. format to a avi. format? I am using FlashPro CC.

    How can I export my project which is fla. format to avi. format? I created my project using the "timeline" in FlashPro CC. I would like to have it as a avi. file. Thank you in advance.

    That should do the trick! Then convert using Adobe Media Encoder, if desired.

  • Exporting AVI clips (error: "[\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-759]" after 4 %)

    The following problem:
    I have 2 adobe premiere project. both have the same film and film length but different video codecs.
    1. project (low quality video codecs (mpeg4)
    export works fine
    2. project (high quality video codecs (avi)
    export stops every time after 4% with the following error notice:
    "Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-759]"
    or if I want export the project with other codecs, eg H.264 then Adobe premiere freezes and I can close Adobe Premiere then.
    Premiere memory settings (valid for both premiere projects):
    Installed RAM: 3,7 GB
    RAM reserved for other applications: 1,5 GB
    Ram available for Adobe: 2,2 GB
    Optimize rendering for: "Memory"
    computer details:

    installed RAM: 3,75 GB
    processor: AMD Athlon, 2 x4 635 processor 2.90 GHz
    graphics card: ATI Radeon HD4200
    windows edition: 7
    How can I solve the problem, so that I can export my whole project in AVI codecs without freezing problems or error problems?
    Is it a hardware or software problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Adobe media encoder dont export avi

    i work in premiere cs4 and i try to export that project in avi format but it dont appear in the batchlist of media encoder. If i choose the mpegdvd option, it works. which is the problem? codecs missing? helpme please!!!.

    Whether I'm an acquired taste or not, I leave that up to you to decide.
    What irks me enormously is the number of posts by absolute NOOBS, who have never looked in the manual, who have never used the HELP file, assume that everybody should be at their disposal to solve the problems they have due to lack of understanding the basics of NLE, who act as adolescent nitwits that feel frustrated when named just that, who give a clear indication of using hijacked and illegitimate software, while the majority has payed dearly for an official license, and they still complain about things not working as they thought it would, using material not suitable for editing, trying to do things the program was never intended for on machines that are inadequate to start with.
    Remarks like: HELP, URGENT, BUG and the like are abundant, but very, very rarely can this be substantiated other than by plain OE. Unfortunately, most OP's have a very difficult time understanding that the cause of their problems is their own doing and often they complain when someone mentions this.
    C'est le ton qui fait la musique. If OP's would understand that even though their problem may be obvious to them, it is quite different when trying to ask somebody else's help. They have to go back to the basics and explain it for someone else, so the responder can understand. That is quite different and requires the OP to distance himself from his problem. Be objective, don't waste time on inconsequential details, show that you have searched the web or these fora, don't assume that saying: I don't have the time to search for an answer, so you do it, will win you a positive response.
    People, get real. This is a great place to share knowledge and experience. Everybody had to learn sometime and even noobs deserve their attention and help. It just makes it frustrating when one is continuously confronted with users of illegal software that demand priority service from Adobe on a user-to-user forum or that fail to clearly state their situation.
    Thus, I have this message:
    i "I reserve the right to call anyone a noob. Especially if you haven't read the ******* manual!!"
    i "The two most abundant things in the universe, are Hydrogen......and Noobidity!"

    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    iMovie/iDVD preference file
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file or "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    _ Library - at root level
    _ Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
    Klaus1
    You need more free space on your hard drive.
    Where do Your material come from
    Camera
    External hard disk
    USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
    from: jonorparkerjon
    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set - I only use PAL (25fps)

  • Exported AVI from FLA deosn't work

    I exported my project from FLA into AVI format for powerpoint
    presintation, but when i try open my AVI file in any video players
    (windows media player, real player, dvx..etc) it doesn't wanna work
    !!! Player shows that this files needs a codec or it was currapted.
    I tryed to export it in different ways and still the same results.
    And its sucks, because powerpoint can't play .MOV files, because i
    dont have any problems to export it into quicktime move. What can i
    do or what kind of codec do i need?

    Found the problem.
    The lower-third has a lens flare feature. This lens flare has a black background that, for some reason, doesn't become transparent when you bring it in to FCP. (If you place an element behind it in Motion, it's fine.)
    Kind of ***** because that was the main reason I like that particular template.

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

  • When I Try To Export My Project, Nothing Happens

    So during editing in Final Cut Pro X I noticed that there were a couple of hiccups in my movie, but scrolling over these events didn't reveal a problem. I decided to see if it was a processing problem by exporting my project. I went up to File, clicked on Share, clicked on Apple Devices 720p, clicked on Next in the window that came up, titled the project, set it to save to the desktop, clicked Save... And then nothing happened. I checked my desktop for the file but there was nothing there. I've tried saving the file to several different places but when I click Save nothing happens and the file isn't in the place it should be if it had been saved. FCPX is working fine in all other regards but it's just not exporting this project. I've checked and I don't have any broken pieces of footage. The only possible thing I can think of is the song I'm using is one I purchased off of iTunes, so maybe it won't let me export if the song is protected by iTunes, but that seems like a stretch. Any help is appreciated.

    Nevermind, I solved the problem. FCPX isn't showing me that it's rendering or whatever it's doing, but after about ten minutes the files show up. Still, any idea why it gives no indication that it's working?

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

  • How is the best way to export my project with clips and videos?

    I would like to save my project and export the project with clips and videos included. What is the best way to do it?

    Can you clarify:
    clips and video
    Seems as though you want to retain the original media?

  • Unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks. Please Help! Due date coming up!

    I've unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks.I have a late 2012 iMac with 8gb of RAM and 700 gb of free space on the hard drive. The video I am trying to export is 48 mins long with most of the source footage from a NIkon D3100 and several other cammcorders. I've been exporting with Apple Intermediate codec because that was the only one that has work so far but it only worked once and since then I have had to make changes to the project and now I'm unable to get it to work. For all Quicktime exports in H.264 or AIC (my prefered format for this export since I figured it'd offer the highest quality when I import it into Encore for making a dvd out of it) Which just stops exporting in the last few minutes without explination as to why or it crashes and quits. It either leaves a partial file or nothing at all. When I do "export movie" I get a "not enough memory Heap zone error"
    I don't know what to do any help would be greatly appreciated!
    By the way I happen to have Adobe CS6 Production Premium but didn't know how to use it as well when starting the project and now really regret not using it because it appears to be 10x more stable and capable of handling all the tasks I want it to do.

    Hi
    Error -108 memFullErr  Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
    Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
    (the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
    But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
    Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)
    AppleMan1958
    Are your event clips in h.264? If so, you can solve this by Right clicking on your Event Name and choose "Optimize Media". You can choose Full for 1080P or Large for 960P according to your preference.
    After you have optimized your Event, you should be able to Share with no problem.
    Lennart Thelander
    -108 mean you are running out of (free) RAM.
    Try restarting the computer just prior to sharing. That frees up RAM.
    from mynameisearl
    Final Entry
    Ok - after much cutting, trial and error and days of work I have never really established a root cause for the -108 error. Nothing I did resolved the issue to the orginal project.
    The only work around I have found is to split the Original Project into two.
    What I found was that anything around the 60 mins mark and above just failed to render in HD and showed the -108 error.
    What worked for me was creating two project files - one around 57mins long - the other a part 2 - around 17 mins long. All using exactly the same source clips, photo's, music and transitions as the orginal.
    This now works. I guess having it split in two makes it a little easier to work with as I wont have to keep rendering the first part which does not change but really wish Apple would throw some light on this.
    Anyway - I hope all of the above at least proves useful for others.
    Good Luck
