Export Flash to .mov file

I work with Flash CS5.5 on a MacPro with OS 10.7.5 with a 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon processor and 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB graphics card. When I export my Flash to a .mov file the results are cluttered with artifacts of previous frames over the current video. What causes this? And are there preferences or settings to correct it?

Hmmm I would say as an image sequence would be best. The only programs that support swf files are After Effects and the Adobe Media Encoder which actually works nicely to convery from one file to another. I got it with my Flash CC download so you might try that.

Exporting slideshow to .mov file using Ken Burns looks low res?

I've created a slide show using the Ken Burns effect exclusively, and after I export as an .mov file and pull that into iDVD (or watching it in QT player) the moves look like a very low resolution image was used instead of the high res files that I know are there. Any ideas of how to fix this? or is this just the way iPhoto handles the files when using Ken Burns FX.

Have your tried the procedure that seems to solve a variety of problems for the iLife applications? Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
Ken Burns also...images do not fit to screen any more.
I am not aware of an option to make the Ken burns effect "fit to screen". This effect is applied in a somewhat random fashion, so what you see on one playing of your slideshow can be slightly different when viewed again. You can avoid undesirable changes, like cutting off the tops of heads, by manually applying the KB effect to photos in question. The control is at the bottom of the window when in the slideshow mode. When you are satisfied with the way the slideshow looks, export it as a QuickTime movie.
I hope this helps.

Export 16:9 .move file with FCP

Hello,
Since May this year I cannot export my FCP 16:9 project to a 16:9 .mov file anymore. The last good one I exported was May 4th, 2009. When I open this QuickTime file with FCP it is widescreen. I exported the same project on May 27th. That .mov file is letterboxed when opening it with FCP.
I never used QuickTime Pro because this program could and can only display my videos letterboxed.
I tried several options to try to export the movie 16:9 (Current Settings, DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic).
Someone advised me to use the Cmd-J option in Quicktime, but before May 27th, the export was good and I could use it in iDVD. But since that date it is not possible anymore. When importing the movie directly in iDVD, it is 4:3 format. And after changed it to 1024 with Cmd-J in QuickTime it is halfwidescreen in iDVD (looks like 14:9 i.s.o. 16:9)
How can I get my old good working version of FCP back I had on May, 4th and earlier ?
Or how can I export to QuickTime movie that gives me a 16:9 video again as it was before May 27th ?
Thanks,
Hubert

Hello,
I tried a new 16:9 project. In this new project FCP the video is exported in 16:9 format.
So there must be somewhere a 16:9/4:3 option switch in my old 16:9 project.
Where can this option be set to 16:9 ?
Thanks,
Hubert

How to export as a movie file

Hello- I am a teacher and make a dvd for my kids with all of their pictures and videos on it at the end of the year. As I was taught in the apple store, I made the video in imovie and then added the music in garageband. Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice, only music choices. Is there any way to still export this as a movie file? I believe it was a quicktime .mov file. Any help would be appreciated.

Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice,
Are you now using GarageBand 10.0?
Then import the movie,
Track menu > Show Movie Track
File menu > Movie > Open Movie
Mix the sound track song
Then use the "File" menu > Movie > Export Audio to Movie.
This will write the audio aa an audio track into the imported movie.

Export to QT Movie/File Size Triples?

Hello fine folks,
Having a problem exporting a long sequence out of FCP to a QuickTime Movie (NOT self contained), for import into iDVD.
The final file that is created is 22 gb! Way too large to use easily in iDVD. (And way too slow in creating it, obviously.) I also tried it as self-contained, but that was so slow that I canceled it (45 minutes, and 15 percent done). I am using chapter markers.
The assets in total are only about 7.5 gb, and I'm not using all of the assets, just edited parts of them.
I have done this before, but not on my laptop, as I am doing now (on the road for the holidays).
Anyone have any advice for what I'm doing wrong/what the issue is?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the response.
I'm using a PowerBook G4 1.5, with 1 gb of ram. Using FCP 4.5. I have only the internal drive, so all files are on the system drive.
I'm intrigued by your idea of rendering. I had problems rendering. Quite a bit of it needed to be rendered (especially audio -- there are many mp3s in the sequence). I would select render all, and it would render a bit of it, then quit with a "general error." I had to select render all several times ... actually once for each mp3 in the sequence -- before the whole thing was finally done. I've never had to do this before.
(Another issue I was having -- not sure if this helps -- my sequence contains a couple of old home movies transferred into dv ... they have audio files attached, but the home movies are silent. So before I placed these assets into FCP, I opened the home movie files in QTPro, to export them without sound/get rid of the soundtracks. I have also done this before on my MacPro, with success. But on my laptop, this exporting from QTPro was so slow and ponderous that I gave up ... it would have taken me three or four hours just to export a 2.6. gb file into another file without audio. So again, I gave up.
There is something going on that I can't quite figure out.)
Many thanks.

Tbl exporting to Quicktime mov file

need to make a mov file from a timeline with SD dv avi video. On a win 7 i7 920 PC machine--I can export as avi fine but one person wanted an mov file so they can re-edit.
I chose export, Quicktime, Ntsc dv and the video codec 1st choice is dv25 ntsc when I export I get and error as below
Adobe Media Encoder--error compiling movie--unable to create or open output file-seems like I did make a mov file bak in CS4.
Am I doing this right

Make sure that you have gone to
www.apple.com and downloaded QuickTime onto your computer. This
download gives you the codecs you need to make QuickTime files.

QuickTime exporting a trimmed .mov file

I've successfully trimmed a .mov file to the beginning and ending that I want. But when I come to export it (save it) and pick Format for Mac & PC for some reason it automatically exports the file as audio only. The trimmed version of the orginal has both audio and video, but the trimmed exported file only contains audio. Anyone know why even though I'm not choosing to export it as audio only?

The following may not be "exactly" what you are looking for, however, it's worth a look/read...

Exporting a quicktime .mov file to rework the video in imovie- pixelated

Hi- I have a 17 minute clip saved in .mov that I want to break apart into 3 segments. When I try to import the .mov file into imovie- it says no way... so I have exported the file as a .mp4 and the file is totally pixelated... so not worth breaking apart.... what can I do to export it? So, it views properly when I import it? anything would be really helpful and i really appreciate it! thanks for the help! spence

I had similar issues when importing shorter clips. The solution that eventually worked for me was to export each clip from Quicktime Pro as Progressive footage in a DV stream using the DVCPRO50 settings. Exporting in the regular DV format caused the footage to look very pixelated in certain parts. The downside to this is that the DVCPRO50 settings produce clips that are twice as large. (A 1 min clip will be around 400MB in size, compared with 200MB for regular DV.) Try that (assuming you have upgraded to Quicktime Pro).

Can't export 25 minute .MOV file to .AVI

I am trying to export a 25 minute QuickTime .MOV file to a .AVI file and am having major problems.
The .AVI file I get is about 5.21GB but only contains the first 5 minutes of the video.
I have tried exporting directly from Final Cut Pro and from within QuickTime Pro (both Mac and Windows versions) with the same results. I have even tried using programs such MPEGStreamClip with no luck.
My export settings:
VIDEO
Compression: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Quality: Best
Frame Rate: 29.97
Scan Mode: Interlaced
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
SOUND
Format: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48kHz
Sample size: 16
Channels: 2
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I need the .AVI and this is a major hassle.
Thanks.
Brian McKechnie

I use the Export > Movie to AVI and then select the settings mentioned.
Going straight from the Final Cut Pro timeline does not work.
Exporting as a QuickTime movie from FCP and then trying to export the AVI from within QuickTime does not work either.
Settings for the QuickTime file that FCP exports:
DV
720 x 480 (640 x 480)
16-bit integer (Big Endian)
Stereo
48.000kHz
29.97FPS
It seems that this only happens on files that are longer then 18 mins. I need the AVI in order to convert the file to WMV in Windows Media Encoder as Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD 2.0.2 exports files with green blotches all over it.

Exporting presentation to movie file: build/slide duration

I have been unable to find this in Keynote's help file.
When exporting a Keynote presentation to a self-playing movie file, you are asked to specify:
[1] Build duration
[2] Slide duration
I suppose this should be obvious, but I can't quite figure out what they mean with respect to a .mov file.

In case Brian's answer wasn't what you were looking for, in the self-playing mode, build duration refers to how long each animation build/slide transition should take, and slide duration determines how long a slide should stay on-screen once all transitions are completed on it.

How to export a VCD movie file to iPhone ?

I was trying to convert some of my VCD (MPEG-1) movies to be viewable on my iPhone using QuickTime Pro's Export function. The VCD movie is viewable in QuickTime Player with both video and sound. However, after the conversion, I only get video but no audio. Any idea? Thanks for your help in advance.

Use Streamclip to break the larger file into smaller "chunks" prior to export and export to DV Stream.
Use QuickTime Pro to join these .dv files and then export to a 320X240 (or maybe 480X360) at the iPhone .mov settings (not the built in preset values). If needed you can use the built in "Filters" adjustments to adjust HSL or brightness and contrast to improve video quality.

Half gray screen when i export from HDV movie file to picture

I have captured video in HDV 1080/50i from my Canon A1 camera (in Final Cut Pro) and it plays back clean in Quicktime Pro (7.5.5) but when I try to export a still as JPEG the bottom half of the picture is mid-grey and the top half has a thin grey grid over it. If I subsequently try to open it in Photoshop it says an "invalid JPEG marker type" is found. Am I missing some codec, or is this a setting somewhere in QT?
please help - thanks!

Besides the monitor not being calibrated or a particular photo-viewer program not using complete color management, it is also possible that what you’re seeing is the difference between one program using DirectX and the video card applying the monitor profile verses the other program doing the monitor profile conversion in software only.
This difference might occur if you’ve modified the gamma of some of the video acceleration modes. You might check in the video-card control panel (perhaps in Control Panel or perhaps in your system notifications area) to see if anything has changed the gamma from being a straight line, and in general reset things back to their defaults for your video card.
And you haven’t shown us what your monitor profile is actually set to. Have you done the Windows display calibration process? This isn’t as good as using a hardware calibrator but it is something to check, and once you’ve done this, switch between the new program and the one you’re currently using to see if anything changes.

Help!--export error Flash MX mov's to Quicktime mov's

Hey there,
I normally convert Flash Mx 2004 mov's to normal mov's using Quicktime Pro.
Now, I get an error with the "Export Controller". It usually stops at about %20 through.
The Flash mov's play fine, but won't export.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Matt

Yeah, I did export a SWF
version 5
enabled flash in Quicktime
and it (the SWF) opens in Quicktime Pro, plays just fine, but then when I try to convert it to a MOV., the exporter crashes.
I can make a SWF movie into a MOV, right?
I'm trying to make a cartoon I made in Flash a MOV file I can upload to Youtube and other video sites.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your continuing help, sir!

Wrong aspect ratio when export to mov file

Hi,
Hoping that you can help me. I've being filming some Hi-def widescreen 16:9 footage which i've want to export to a mov file. However, whatever option i chose, the resutant export gets converted to 4:3.
I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Here are the details.
Original File
PAL HDV - 1080i 25fps
Export
Codec H.264
Output 1440x1080 25fps Upper 100%
Source 1440x1080 25fps Upper
Aspect: D1/DV PAL widescreen 16:9
Hope you can help. Let me knwo if you need any more information.
Cheers
Rob

Thanks for your input. I think the main issue is that i originally captured the video using another peice of software. These files were 1440x1080 so i was getting 'letter boxing' on the left and right. After doing a lot of reading, i now understand the importance of selecting the correct project setting
Leading on from this, I'm about to do some more filming and have hired a HDV camcorder (Sony HVR 27p - PAL). It's 1080i and can film in interlaced (25 or 50fps) or progressive. (25fps)
My questions are:
The required output playback file (mov file format) needs to be progressive. Should i film in progressive as well, or stick with interlaced and change the output settings when creating the output file?
If i stick with interlaced, do i film in 50 or 25 as the output file needs to be 25fps?
Although the camera captures 16:9, the pixels are 1440x1080 (which by all accounts in usual with HDV cameras.) Do i select a project setting whose setup is 1440x1080 or do i use 1720x1080?
Thanks a lot for your help so far.
Rob
