Export from FCE is different then the timeline

hi there, when I try to export from FCE the output file is different from the video in my timeline.
It concerns a screengrab recorded with QT10. That QT file is converted to a Apple intermediate codec - as I normally do with QT files.
I edit it & then export it to a h.264 QT HD file. There's clearly a difference between the final QT and the video in the timeline.
Shots mysteriously appear where they can't be seen in the timeline, cuts are not exact where I've put them.
I've tried a different output codec, re-did my AIC encoding but nothing helps..
Can't find any logical reason why this happens. It's the first time I've had this happen.
Thx for feedback
WS

I've tried several things but the problem remains.
I made a new AIC file @15fps and exported again to h.264 @ 15fps but I still see shots that are not in the timeline.
I have the impression that the exported files add about 10 frames ahead of the cut that I make in the timeline...
Any helpfull insights are welcome
Thx

Firefox 19 was just released. You may want to consider upgrading, then trying again.
Glad to hear IE worked though!

If a file with the same name is saved again then a version is created. You can see versions from the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. From the Files page click on the file to go to its page. Switch from the Details tab to the Activity tab if needed. You will see the Current Version and any past versions.

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

Quality problem exporting from FCE

Hi,
i have a quality problem exporting from FCE. I have finalized a 30 minute movie and want to send it to friends on DVD or CD-ROM. when i use "export as quicktime movie" the file has 6.5 GB and won't fit on a DVD-ROM. when i use "export with quicktime conversion" and choose quicktime movie with H.264 compression and highest quality the movie goes down to 4.2GB. Now it would fit on a DVD-ROM, but the quality is not good. The picture looks blurred and i see some type of interlace-effect.
which type of export format do i have to choose to avoid the interlace and blurred pictures? is there a magic format that does not cost that much quality and reduces the movie by 30-40%? or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
thanks for your help!

or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
That's what Id do.
Export as QuickTime Movie (reference file is OK) and drop the export to iDVD.
You will get 1 hour of FCE Timeline on a single sided disc using Best Performance (iDVD setting).
Two hours using Best Quality (iDVD setting)

Best way to export from FCE for compression?

Hi again, folks!
I've read/learned that, when you plan to compress your video, you should ideally export from your editing program in the final resolution (size) that you want the video to be. Apparently this is because editing programs do a better job of sizing the video than do compression programs (such as Sorenson Squeeze, which does its best work doing only compression). What I'm wondering is this: When I export to QuickTime from FCE, I have two options, namely Export as a QuickTime Movie, or Export Using QuickTime Conversion (which allows me to save as a QuickTime or other format). So, my question is, if I Export Using QuickTime Conversion, does this actually "convert" the video to some 'bastardized' version of QuickTime, or does it just reduce the size? I'm asking because I don't understand why, on the one hand, FCE refers to exporting a full size video as simply "Exporting as QuickTime" while on the other hand (eg. when I'm lowering the resolution), it's called "QuickTime Conversion" (which is lumped in with a whole bunch of other output format possibilities such as .avi, mpeg4, etc).
I'm probably not being as clear as I'd like, but more simply put, why does FCE consider going from hi-res QuickTime to low-res QuickTime a 'conversion'?

One suggestion I received (just tonight) from another forum was to export the video from FCE, but not as a self-contained movie; this way (I'm told), the video is not being compressed or otherwise altered, and hence will give me the best results when I compress
The information you received on the other forum was half right and half wrong. The difference between a self-contained movie and a movie that isn't (known as a 'reference' movie) is NOT the quality; it's that the self-contained movie is an exact copy of what's in your Sequence while the reference movie only refers to the original media and renders ... it doesn't copy it. Since reference movies rely on the original media (and render files) for playback or when used in other applications (like Sorenson Squeeze), they will not work properly on any other system nor will they work if any of the original media or render files are moved, deleted or otherwise altered.
The quality of the two types is identical.

Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long

Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long will the DVD hold??? if i have an hour and 40 minutes of HD footage all cut together with FCE and has been saved as a movie file, how many hours will IDVD let me burn to it?
if i run over the allowed amount will it say i need to drop quality, i am editing loads at the moment and dont want to get to the end and it come up with an error message. also will idvd include the chapter markers if i export with them?

Sure, no problem.
1. Go to Project > Project Info in iDVD.
2. Make sure "DVD Type" is set to a single-layer DVD.
3. Under "Encoding," choose "Best Performance." Is the arrow solidly in the green portion of the quality bar? If so, go ahead and burn your disc.
4. If not, choose "High Quality." Again, go ahead and burn your disc if the arrow is solidly in the green.
3. If the arrow still isn't in the green, select Professional Quality. If the arrow's in the green, burn your disc. If not, you'll have to delete some of the menus (scene selection, etc.) or menu content and check again. You should be able to burn up to 2 hours if you don't have a lot of other menu content.

Exporting From FCE 4 to Quicktime in HD

Whenever I try and export my finshed HD project from FCE 4 to Quicktime, it exports fine but is no longer in HD. Its quality degrades by quite a bit.
How can I export from FCE 4 to Quicktime and keep its HD quality?
thanks, will

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is your sequence format?
Do you export a +quicktime movie self contained+ or export +with quicktime conversion+?
What settings (video codec, frame size, bit rate) do you use in the second option?
How do you monitor your exported movie (on your mac, SD TV set, HD TV set, apple TV, DVD, blur-ray, SD DVD)?

Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

I can offer suggestions, but I can not fix it.
Press enter three or four times before you start typing and then move the cursor back to the start. What happens is your point of insertion gets outside your predefined font range, it is a know bug and that will help you "stay in the lines" Another option is type Rick, go back to the start and then type your message. Anything which keeps the insertion point from the very end of the email really.

Best settings for export from FCE to Web

I'm trying to get a 20-minute project (audio and video) exported from FCE to iWeb in reasonably high quality. I've consulted the manual, and have tried various compression settings and consulted some online tutorials, to no avail - more often than not, if it "publishes" to iWeb, the resulting file looks like it will take the better part of forever to buffer. Any recommendations?

Well, not sure about what you mean “in reasonably high quality”...?
What export-settings did you use...? size and codec...?
A twenty minutes project for the web in reasonably quality...?
Did you start with your project in FCE with the best and highest uncompressed resolution ?
Did you export (compress) from this resolution once to your desired web format ?
Doing file compression properly, I guess, one needs years of experience...
There are far to many variables one has to consider...
t’s rather an art-form than exact science...
Anyway...
If you like, here are one of my settings:
Compression H.264 / Frame Rate Current / Key Frame Automatic / Quality Medium /
Data Rate Automatic (higher rate - higher file size) / Encoding Best Quality /
Size 480 x 270 (16:9) / Sound AAC Stereo 44.1 kHz (Mono and lower Rate reduces size).

Best codec for export from FCE?

Heya, I'm sort of a newbie, so please be patient with me
I'm trying to export a video from FCE using QT conversion. I'm going to be putting it on Youtube. What is the best codec for export? I've always heard that H.264 is the 'best', but my videos have always been pale and washed out. I tried exporting using MPEG-4 video, and it's not washed out. Is H.264 better and I should just deal with the paleness, or does it not matter too much?
Thanks

All the Web video sites re-compress your videos. So it's generally best to upload high quality files – typically determined by bit rate.
My suggestion would be to export as a Quick Time movie at current settings. (Guessing that you edited an AIC sequence,)
If you don;t have MPEG Streamclip, do a search and download it. In Streamclip, open the file you exported from FCE. Export to Quick Time. For Compression, choose H.264 from the drop down menu. Don't change Frame Size. If your movie is interlaced, check De-interlace. Check the Limit Data Rate box and type in 12,000 if the size of your movie is1080; 6,000 if your movie is 720; 3,000 if your movie is 480.
Use the YT uploader and you should be good to go.

Why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd. The OPEN and EXPORT steps in the Action

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd.
The steps in the Action such as Open and Export seem inextricably linked to the file from which the original Action was recorded.
The steps in the Action do not seem to be generalized commands that I can apply to any folder of .ai files.

I'd recommend to exactly describe what you're doing. How did you set up your action? Which settings did you choose in the Batch Process dialog? What exactly went wrong? What did you expect instead?
Whatever issues you're suffering from, there is no way to provide a hasty answer and no way to give an elaborate answer without knowing the details.
