Export from mov to m4v all black

When exporting .mov to .m4v in Quicktime the final video is all black with no sound.

Yep. It's slow.
The only way to get a faster conversion is to use a faster machine.
Avoid the H.264 video codec (if not needed) and use MPEG-4 settings as they are less demanding on the processor.

IPhote don't show pictures after upload from iPhone, they turned all black

After uploaden all the pictures from my iPhone to my Mac the pictures turned all black in iPhoto.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Export to MOV adds 4sec of black screen?

So I exported my Keynote files to MOV format and it just adds a 4 sec of black screen at the end. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Settings were Fixed Timing (5s for slide, 2s for build), no repeats, no enter full screen.

Is this a custom video size or the standard FLV output size?
Most likely, the custom size is the issue.
Do you get the same result if you use the default output size?

Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As to dates specifically:
There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
Also, why the file sizes are so different.
For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
Thanks for any help,
Cathy

> Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
But they're embedded in the PDF.
> It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
it's supposed to work.
Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
recognition...

Lines too dark in PDF exported from Illustrator

Hi there!
When I export from Illustrator to PDF, all lines in the design looks black, when they are light grey in the original file.
Here the examples:
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Did you use Export in Illustrator or the Acrobat process. The Acrobat process would need to have the display resolution and such set to an appropriate setting. If you did the export, then you may have to look at the properties of the export process in Illustrator, not Acrobat.

Do you feel that this is a swetting that you would like to be able to set per document so that when it is opened by someone else this feature is turned off?
Or would you prefer to have this setting turned off by default?
Would you perhaps think that a warning stating that the document contains thin lines and to see them more accurately the user has to turn it off in the preferences would bve sufficient in case the user would not be so concerned acccurac but is more worried about their vision?
And yet perhaps a way to set this up in the preferences on the authors side so that when such a document is opened the user is given a choice of how they would like this setting configured in the future?

QT Pro Crashes When I Ask It To Export a MOV to an AVI

I'm trying to use my newly-purchased QT Pro to export from MOV (captured with Casio digital camera) to uncompressed AVI so that I can edit my movie in Pinnacle. When I click the options > video settings so that I can specify the codec etc, QT disappears and windows makes an error beep (the 'thrum' chord sound). Any ideas ?

Try turning off video Hardware Acceleration in Windows.
Go to CONTROL PANEL--DISPLAY--click the SETTINGS tab--click the ADVANCED button (you may get a warning message here; just click OK)--click the TROUBLESHOOT tab and finally move the Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to NONE. Click OK
I had the same issue that you describe and this fixed it for me. However, if you are using your PC for games and other video-intensive applications, you'll want to move the Hardware Acceleration back to Maximum after you're done with Quicktime.

Missing content exporting from InDesign CC 2014 to Flash Pro CC 2014

Dear all,
to produce a larger number of similar animated swf's, I wanted to create all necessary text and graphic layers in InDesign CC 2014, then export as *.fla to Flash Pro CC 2014 for "bulk" animation.
Finally it should then just be a case of selecting the correct layers and publishing.
The problem: When exporting from InDesign to Flash, all layers are recognized but initially apart from the text layers they were shown as empty items without the content.
Rescaling the placed images in InDesign to be no larger than the final document helped to now also have the images when opening the exported *.fla in Flash.
I am still missing all other InDesign objects though, e.g. even a simple colored rectangular will not show in Flash.
Any help to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Searching for it only brought up a couple of tutorials that do not seem to have this issue.
Best regards
Christopher

I think that it's just a bug in InDesign. It happens with CS6 as well.

I tried the the suggestion of Jeff and uncheck "use previews".
Again no success.

Quality loss from .MOV to .AVI

Not quite sure what is going on here. When using QT Pro to export from .MOV to .AVI, the quality is significantly degraded. Any ideas why this is?
Thanks!

Any ideas why this is?
Both AVI and MOV files are generic containers so compare the codecs and data rates. Are the codecs used of similar or different levels of efficiency? If of the same level do they have similar video data rates? If not, did you increase the data rate to make up for the differences in encoding efficiency?

I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This might be a problem with the movies themselves, where are they from, are they your own movies that you have converted yourself.

All exports from Aperture appear as a solid black image

I am having issues exporting photos from Aperture - any photo export I make turns out solid black.
I have been using aperture for years with no problem - and all of a sudden I am having issues today. Whichever way I try to export - whether it is file and export, or sharing through facebook - the image comes out a solid black. An additional (related) issue is that when I edit a photo (crop, cimple color adjust etc.) the image then appears the same solid black in the browser. If I double click on the image I can see it again (most of the time - there are a couple I am unable to see).
I took the shots with my Nikon D7000, imported them to my iPad, and then into aperture (which has always worked in the past).
I have run all updates on Aperture, my mac, and checked other forums but can't find any solutions.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey leonieDF
Thanks for your reply. I am exporting edited versions - export seems to work OK when exporting originals. But all my images are edited a bit, even if just simple cropping etc.
I tried adjusting the color sync profile as you suggested but this didn't help. I also adjusted the gamma and watermark and again, no change.
It seems like I have some kind of bug or something within Aperture, because it is doing all kind of strange things, like now eny time I edit a photo at all it appears solid black in my "browse" view (but OK when I double click it). Similarly, when I duplicate a photo it does random funky stuff to the photo in browse view (from being solid black, to solid red, to appeairng to have some random color filter, to appearing like static from static TV). These issues are all secondary though from the main issue of not being able to export images, since I have a friends wedding photos I am trying to get out to them!
Any other ideas of what might be causing this?
Thanks for your help!

I tried exporting my project numerous times, but the first half of my exported movie is all black, with the sound. Can I get some help?

Hi.
So I decided to a class project, and found this supposedly great app.
I imported all the pictures, recorded the voices, and inserted the soundtrack via iMovie.
Then, once I clicked export and looked at the result, the first half of the product was just all black, with the sound
About a minute within the project (2 minutes total), than the images start appearing.
So basically, in the final product, the first half of my inserted pictures are all just gone, and is replaced with a black screen.
Did anybody else encounter this issue?
Need Help!
Thanks!
(the app is updated to the latest as well)

I'm fairly certain this is a Lion issue, but I'll post in the MacBook forum as well.
here's that post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766275#17766275
In that one I suggested updating to OS X 10.7.3. It fixes a lot of problems, admittedly none of yours specifically.
I understand your frustration but you should decide upon one thread or another. Since this one has more interest I suggest you stick with this one. Tracking two of them will only add to your headaches.
