Export / File Types

Hey.
I'm very, very new to the Mac world.
Just wondering how I can make my pictures that I take in iPhoto become my display picture in "Microsoft Messenger for Mac" (ver.7.0.1).
I've tried dragging and dropping, and it wont work.
I've tried using the export button under "file", and it is greyed out so I can't click it.
Is there something wrong with the files being made in iPhoto? Messenger says it wont accept this particular file type.
Do I need to download a different Messenger?
Any help would be appreciated.
D.

I will request your question be moved to the iChat forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1226 - or ask on a Microsoft forum

IMovie export file type selection for iDVD

I'm manipulating "home movies" (old Hi8 & new flash HD) with intent to eventually burn DVD's for various family members (e.g., children & grandparents) using iDVD. I have been creating Projects then exporting as either Movie (Medium .m4v) or Quicktime (.mov).
What are the trade-offs for subsequent incorporation of these file types into iDVD? For example, is one of better quality - especially in light of all future source clips being AVCHD?

Old Toad:
Thank you for the suggestions. My dilemma is HD storage. For example, one Project (~63 minutes) is derived from Hi8 .dv clip consuming 12.67GB. After export as .m4v the Project's resultant file is only 738.4MB, and I expect a QT .mov export to be ~2.74GB - both of which consume less space than the source file. I've ~40 Hi8 tapes to convert, plus am adding footage with my new camcorder. Therefore my plan, possibly flawed as I am new to all of this, is to import source Events, build Projects, export to best-mode for later iDVD, then delete the source Event and Project to save space. Otherwise I'll be out of space before I can capture all of my Hi8 content.
Your suggestion, whcih is greatly appreciated, would require me to start generating iDVD projects immediately for best quality - yet I hesitate because I want to build DVDs based on a comprehensive inventory of the old footage. Is there a best-quality export from iMovie for subsequent incorporation into iDVD?

CS4 - need to export file type: avi codec: XviD

I just downloaded the 30-day trial for PremierePro CS4 as I was having difficulty maintaining saturation when converting with Premiere Elements 4.0. I was told that I could export my files in PremierePro CS4 with the specs I need, but I don't know how. Specs I need are:
Dimensions: 1360 x 768
File Type: .AVI
Codec: XviD
30 Frames per second
I'm completely new to this so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I had downloaded some sort of XviD file online, and it added it to my export option, but it wouldn't do anything when I selected it and I would eventually have to close down PremierePro. I've since removed the XviD program from my computer in case the program itself was corrupted.

I find that the DivX (commercial version of Xvid) encoder works fine, when that is the desired delivery format/CODEC. Fortunately, I do not have to do much of this, but it works.
Good luck,
Hunt

AVCHD in Premiere Pro CS 5 - exporting file type questions

Firstly, this is my first post on here, so apologies if I'm breaking any kind of etiquette. Also, I'm not a very technical person and would appreciate any comments or advice to be in layman's terms!
So, I film and edit weddings as part of a small company. I've recently had my camera and editing system upgraded to a Sony NXcam and Premiere Pro CS5 and I'm having a little trouble getting used to the new file types and settings (previously used miniDV tapes in SD with a Canon XL2 in an older version of Premiere).
My pc handles the AVCHD footage fine but the way that I edit means that I'll want to export a sequence of edited clips as one long clip, and then re-import it. For example, I'm editing the wedding ceremony from footage from two cameras - I'm going to edit the full version of the ceremony and then I'm also going to edit it down into a version that is a highlights montage in slo-motion to music. The way I do this is once I'm happy with the full version of the ceremony I'll export it and then re-import it so it's one long clip I can play with rather than two sets of footage chopped up on a sequence. So I can alter the speed of this new long clip, and then chop it up and stick in some dissolves to put together the montage. Then I use this montage in the middle of my final film, between the preparations and the reception. The full, edited version of the ceremony is used as an extra on the DVD.
Previously this was fairly straight forward. I was always working with footage in 16:9 and could export it as an avi file, then re-import that avi file with no problems - presto; the exact same-looking footage as I was previously working with.
Now I'm editing with avchd mts footage (1920x1080 - 25p - square pixels?). Naturally, if I export it as a 16:9 avi and re-import it, the aspect ratio and frame size is all wrong for the project sequence.
I just want to know what the best file format and settings are to use to export footage that will match up. There is no option that I can see to export edited footage as mts files. There is a long list of file types, most of which I don't recognise or know anything about and have never needed to use in the past.
Sorry if this is a silly question, I've tried searching for "working with AVCHD in premiere pro cs5" in google and not been able to find anything that can help me on there, so I thought I'd try a forum like this.
Cheers
Adam

I think we may have a slight miscommunication. This is the way that I interpreted your original post.
Lets say you shot the Smith/Jones wedding this past weekend. You start a new project and have a Service Sequence and a Reception Sequence. You finish editing both the service and reception and just a standard full length video. Now you want to create a montage with clips from both the service and reception. In this montage you will have different effects like Black and white, Slo Mo, blurs, etc. So what you do is export the service and reception and then import those two files (or one long one) and then cut that apart and add your music and effects to make your montage. Is that correct?
The way that I do it works the exact same way except that you skip the export part.
When I edit a wedding I generally have 4 sequences when I am finished. I have a Pre Wedding montage, service, reception, and ending highlights. The Pre Wedding montage is just made up of shots from before the service (bride and bridesmaids getting ready, shots of the venu, groom and groomsmen and so on). Then I have a full edit of the service and a full edit of the reception. After I am finished with those 3 sequences I start working on the ending highlight collage. I make a new sequence for the collage then I go to my bin and drag the "Service Sequence" up into the preview monitor (I know in my previous post I said double click. That does not work, because that just opens it up as a sequence. Sorry about that). In the preview monitor I scrub through the footage until I find a section that I want in the montage. Then I set in and out points around that clip and drop it into my Montage timline, and what ever effects to it that I want, then move on to the next clip and do the same thing. To me it seems that we have the same process except that you have to wait for the export (which is always going to give you a quality loss, how much of a loss depends on format and settings).
Please let me know if I have misread your process.

Data Export - File type

At the moment it shows Microsoft Word or Ecel (97 - 2003), how i can change the file type name in Microsoft Word Excel (97 - 2010).
It's also possible to change the order of the file types. I would like default *.pdf an not *.rpt

Hi,
The Excel export driver only goes to 2003 but Excel 2010 works fine with it. Once Business Objects updates the driver for Excel 2010 sometime in the future the description will change.
In terms of order of the drivers, the description you see is from inside the driver itself. They are listed alphabetically and there's no real way to change the order of them.
You can remove the formats by removing the driver from your machine but not to reorganize them.
Thanks,
Brian

Exporting file type question

Made a video bio of my mom, used FCP 7, video rather long - about 25-30 minutes... what is the best format to export so that I maintain quality but file size not too big for DVD?

In FCP, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie. You can make the movie 'self-contained' or a 'reference movie.' You can include chapter markers (if needed) but do NOT 'recompress all frames.'
Use the resulting file in Compressor, choosing the DVD preset appropriate for your program's duration. You'll end up with an MP@G-2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3).
Import those two files into DVD-SP for authoring and burning.

DRM/MDM Import and Export File types - Question

Hi Guys,
We have been implementing Hyperion DRM to our existing Oracle Environment for managing the company's sales data which comes from multiple data sources. In my experience and research, I feel DRM is an excellent tool but there are some questions I have in our mind. The following are the few questions that I\we have.
a) How does the Import and Export of data functionality works in DRM? In this forum, I have found some one saying we can only import the data through flat files, in other words, "text file" with the delimiters [ ] seperated by comma. My question is, Is there any other possible way to import the data, Such as getting the data directly from the database tables? To get the data, Do we need to have any integration points or do we need to use SOAP APIs (& programming)?
b) While we exporting the data, can we export it directly to the Oracle database tables? What are the integration points needed for this kind of export?
c) Is there any sample guide or design document available for creating the hierarchy and nodes. I just want to know how the attributes that we have "is transformed" into the hierarchies and nodes in DRM? In the past, I used Essbase, which is integrated with DRM and that process was straight forward since we imported and exported data directly from DRM to Essbase.
I would appreciate any suggestion offered to me regarding the questions posted above.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

Hi,
1.As per my knowledge the Import can be done using Flat files only,we can import the data from Oracle Tables once the structure is ready in DRM.
2.We have an utility called Export to Table(in the last tab when you performing an Export along with Export to File), which requires the DB mapping to be done properly,
Thanks!

Exporting file types

Will garage band only export to either AAC or MP3 or are there other formats that it will do?

Hi DanDoor,
Yes, go to garageband's Share>Export song to disk> and leave the 'compress' box empty and click 'export'.
It should give you a browse window to save it by title and folder etc.
It usually saves it as an aiff.
I also have the Garageband>preferences>advanced>audio resolution checked with 'best' option.
The AAC and mp3 formats come when you have the track 'compressed' at that earlier stage.
Hope this helps

Try to export address book but the drop down for file type is blank. no options are offered. Version 24.5.

An unusual problem happened when I upgraded from earlier version of thunderbird - which was working fine - version 9. I decided to update. So update to latest version. Once I did this something happened:
1. When I go to address book, I select address book and then select Export.
2. The export window pops up, but the field where you select FILE TYPE is blank - there is no CSV, TXT etc. options to select.
So... I saved a copy of my profile as a back up.
Then I uninstalled that version.
Then installed the version my husband is using - 24.5 - which he uses with no problems at all.
After installing the 24.5 version I still have the same problem. We are completely stumped and don't know what is causing this.
Something must have happened when I upgraded from the very early version 9 to the 31.
Its like its not seeing the FILE TYPE to display when I go to export.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
Daphna

Restart Thunderbird with add ons disabled. You might have one that does not like the newer versions. You can do this from the Help menu.

IDVD: Files exported from iMovie 11, one works, one "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format"

I used footage from the same camera (taken on the same weekend using the same settings) in several different iMovie "projects". All were shared from iMovie 11 as "File" using the quality setting "SD 480p".
In Quicktime Player, all ".mp4" files will play and they show the following info in its inspector:
Format: H.264, 854 x 480
AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
One exported file will drag, drop, and burn in iDVD just fine. The other two files show the error "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" as soon as I try and drag them into iDVD.
The only difference I can find is that the one file that works is about 803MB, while the files that don't work are 1.87GB and 3.98GB.
All files and the iDVD project are in the same folder on my startup volume. I've tried deleting com.apple.idvd but that didn't help. I've tried rebooting and starting the iDVD project from scratch but I get the same results.
Mac OS 10.9.1
iMovie 10.0.1
iDVD 7.1.2
Any ideas?

Hello Bengt and thank you again for the replies.
As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 which has very limited quality adjustments. In every case I chose the smallest size, which iMovie 10.0.1 calls "SD 480p (854 x 480)". I used this same setting on all exports.
I still have iMovie HD (6.0.4) and iMovie '11 (9.0.9) on my iMac so I tried both of them. In both cases, they could import only the file that works in iDVD. Both older versions of iMovie choked on the longer movies shared from iMovie 10.0.1.
I have many many hours into the editing of these clips and I do not want to have to go back and redo everything in an older version of iMovie. Might I be better off going with a different DVD creation software? Or am I out of luck? Because I can't really change iMovie 10.0.1's export settings, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to get it to export it as something that iDVD can use (really, I can't even tell why it's different and why iDVD doesn't like it).
The software "WonderShare DVD Creator" has no issue with any of the files I've exported from iMovie 10.0.1.

AE CC not exporting to any file type on Mac OSX 10.10.2

I have been trying to export my AE sequences to pretty much any file type possible. Initially thought it was the Quicktime/H.264 error that people had noted in other threads, even tried it with AME. I've tried exporting several different projects too, some that had third party plug-ins and even test projects with just in-software assets in them. I was having no problem up until just a few days ago when I upgraded. My best guess is that it's OSX 10.10.2 related bug?
Computer specs:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processer 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Jishnu...

Oh yes. My bad. It is in face the one-second mark. And it is in every
project I have tried.
The assets in the first project that I noticed this happening on (which was
also the first project I opened after upgrading to OSX 10.10.2) include:
- Solid background with a color gradient
- Alpha Track Matte
- Optical Flare
- Particular
- Null object
But this exact same problem occurs with every project I've tried to export,
regardless of what's in the project/comp

Export to WMV file type

I am having serious problems exporting my finished video into a Windows Meida file type. Ordinarily I would not want to publish into this format but when my clients need it in that format I have no choice.
For some reason it exports only part of the whole video. around the first 30 seconds then stops. I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie then using Quicktime to convert that movie and slao exporting straight from FCP.
What do I need to do to get the full video exported properly?

Ok, when I choose export in Quicktime or Final Cut Pro I have a list of default quicktime conversions and one of them is Windows Media File.
I am coming to the conclusion that the Flip4Mac FREE download will allow a short export from QT pro or FCP. I see what you are saying that I should pay for the Flip4Mac full software so then I can do the full sequence.
