Export from Quicktime as DV Stream to FCP: Always requries audio rendering.

Hello,
I am trying to export some mp4 files to DV Stream so that I can import it into FCP. I want to do this without having to render in FCP.
When I export at DV Stream NTSC 48.0 Khz, I don't have to render the video but the audio always needs to be rendered. This is very strange because my audio sequence in 48.0 khz. I'm totally bewildered.
Thanks.

I am using quicktime player to export out. Are there specific export settings to use?
It looks like when export at quicktime, H.264, it compresses it. Then when I import into FCP, I have to render the video when I do my subtitling over the video... is there any way to avoid this?

  • Exporting from Quicktime for optimal editing in FinalCut Express

    I've read that it is recommended to export H.264 for best quality in Quicktime, but Final Cut Express doesn't play H.264 in real time. It forces you to render if you want to edit in the timeline. What is the best format to export from Quicktime in to enable real time editing in FCE?

    To convert the file so that FCE doesn't need rendering you need QuickTime Pro and do the following:
    - open the file
    - menu File > Export...: then select +Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie+ and click Options.
    - In the +Video > Settings+ dialog select:
    - Compression Type: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (or DV-PAL) and make sure that:
    - Frame Rate: 29.97 (or 25), Quality is Best, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (or 16:9 if anamorphic)
    - In the +Sound > Settings+ dialog select:
    - Format: Linear PCM, Channels: Stereo (L R), Rate: 48000, Quality: Normal, Sample size: 16 bits
    The result is a .mov file (not .dv) that doesn't need rendering when imported to FCE to a sequence with setup DV-NTSC (or PAL).

  • Exporting from Quicktime to reduce file size

    I'd like to export from quicktime to a smaller file size. That is, I have a 16.9 meg file I want to optimize for my website. When I try exporting it using the share function, there's no audio on the exported file. I've tried the Export function as well, using Movie to Quicktime movie settings, and the default H.264 compression. Same result...no audio. What settings should I use that will retain audio and shrink the file size so it'll load faster? Thanks.

    QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from MPEG-1 files (muxed) so only the video is converted.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can export to QuickTime formats and include the audio track.

  • Firewall nags every time I start an export from quicktime!?

    Every time I start exporting from quicktime the firewall asks me to allow incoming network connections and to enter my admin user name and password.
    I've checked the firewall in system preferences and quicktime is on the application list and set to allow incoming connections.
    I've also tried reinstalling quicktime but to no avail.
    Any ideas on what might be causing this?

    Go to "/Library/StartupItems/LexSleeper.app” and delete the file. You'll likely need to use an admin password and be prompted to enter your password before the app will be Trashed. Reoboot and the message should be gone and you should be able to empty the trash.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open a PNG pct exported from Quicktime

    I exported a move to still from Quicktime Pro, using the PNG compression settings, and when I try to open it in Photoshop CS5 I get the error message "Could not complete your request because the PICT contains data that is no longer supported in this version of Photoshop." Photoshop CS4 has no such compunction. And I was able to open them in CS4 and recompress them and get CS5 to open them, but this is really annoying. I often have to make screengrabs of Quicktime movies. Looks like I will have to do it staight from within Final Cut and not use Quicktime to do it.
    I have included a still of the error message:
    And a still of the Quicktime compression settings:

    "I am curious. How can changing the the extension of a file format trick photoshop or software in doing something that it can not do.
    I thought that it did not have the engine to translate the data. So what happens to a file by simply changing the extension. Is the data altered ?"
    That's a real good question and something that's been a frustration since the introduction of OS X. Such behavior was never a factor in an Apple OS until Unix. Such nonsense was always part of Windows behavior. It seemed to me it was actually worse immediately after the transition from OS9 to OS X, then improved, now is very stringent again.
    I have thousands of Illustrator files (suffix .ai). I have been working with several other vector programs lately, including Intaglio, a Cocoa product. Intaglio refuses to recognize a .ai file, although it is nothing but a plain text file with proper PostScript code. If I save the file out of Illustrator as an EPS file (suffix .eps) Intaglio has no problem opening it. The difference between a . ai file and the same image as a .eps is only a subtle change in some of the PostScript comments in the file, but nothing that really changes the graphic data. So why does the program give an error message with the .ai file that it is an Unsupported File type?
    Even more perplexing, if I simply change the .ai suffix to .eps, Intaglio is perfectly happy with the file. It opens and displays perfectly. Nothing has changed in the file data by changing the suffix.
    This kind of behavior seems to be an interaction between applications and the OS. The application calls the OS to perform certain functions and the OS demands a particular convention of the file name, or it sends back an error message and the application stops at that point.
    Have you noticed that the OS asks if you really want to change a file name suffix? That's how insistent it is that the name be a certain type.
    TextEdit is a program with no graphic capabilities. If I try to open a PostScript file with it, it balks. (I don't want it to display the graphic page layout - I want to edit the content of the file) A PostScript file has mostly plain ASCII text that can be read and changed by anyone who is familiar with PostScript. (There also can be some long streams of binary image or font data. Such data can't easily be edited, but a programmer could locate it, remove it, or move it around in a text editor program). TextEdit will not open a .ai or .eps PostScript text file as text, unless I change the suffix to .txt. Older (OS9) editors have no such problem and other "programmer editors" ignore the suffix also.
    Programs should (and can) open and display (or reject) files correctly by the nature of the data in the file without any need to examine the file name.
    Apparently, some applications (Graphic Converter?) have decided to ignore the file name nonsense and deal with the actual file data, as they should just like OS9 and previous Mac Oses did. But OS X "conforming programs" insist on the strict Unix way of doing things.
    I have always felt there was some kind of passive-aggressive, arrogant insistence on this by the Unix/NeXT programmers who came with Steve Jobs when he returned to Apple. Early NeXT/OS X implementations of the Mac Desktop were very un-Mac-like and were eventually changed after howls of protest from the Mac community. But they never relented on the file suffix thing, apparently insisting that the human-readable file name was critical to the machine's understanding of the file type.
    All this nonsense is unnecessary as the very simple workarounds prove and very inconvenient for the user. There's just finger pointing and standing on principle and insisting on adherence to some pedantic specification, rather than operational effectiveness.

  • I burnt a dvd from a file I exported from quicktime using the share with apple and pc option.  It was burnt directly from the finder. The dvd works perfectly on my mac, and also runs in my windows, but the sound in my windows pc is stammered.

    This is file I created in SnapzPro (which was saved as a Quicktime mov - Animation) of a Powerpoint Presentation.

    Jon, how do I re-compress the Snapz data for dvd playback?
    That depends on your specific work flow strategy. I normally perform the processing in two stages if editing is involved or in a single stage if I don't plan to trim, title, add a narration track, add special effects, and/or add filters to the Snapz Pro X captured screen data.
    In the two-stage process you export the captured data to an intermediate low-compression, high-quality fomat. (This can be the default settings for Snaps Pro X or a more modern editing specific format like ProRes 422/Linear PCM depending on the codec components for which your system is configured and your personal editing preferences.) The Snapz Pro X intermediate file is then edited in the application of your choice and the results are re-compressed to your final target compression format.
    In any case, whether you are re-compressing the data using QT 7 Pro, iMovie, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, Snapz Pro X, or similar third-party app that accesses the built-in OS X QT routines, the export process is essentially the same. Whether you use a "Movie to MPEG-4" or "Movie to QT Movie" export, you must export to a data rate limited, multi-pass H.264/AAC compression combination to take advantage of the "Optimize of CD/DVD" option. Specific data rate limits depend on the playback dimensions of the file you are creating, the minimum level of quality you will accept, and the playback speed of the hardware to be used. (I normally target 4X-8X settings for SD content but if you know the recipient has a higher rated optical drive and your content is HD, then you can use higher encode settings for improved quality.)
    I captured the slideshow again in Snapz, and saved it as H264/AAC. Is this good enough?
    If you did not specifically use the "Optimize for..." feature, then the file is automatically targeted for "Computer" playback which assumes playback is from an hard drive which has greater bandwidth/faster throughput than an optical media player. If the target display dimensions are resonably small, the the contextual nature of the H.264 video encoder may or may not be within the playback limitations of an optical drive usually depending on the encode matrix dimensions, graphic complexity of the source data, overall brightness of the scenes, and limitations you may have place on the target file—i.e., the larger the encoding dimensions, the faster the data date and the less likely the file will be compatible with optical drive playback without having to constantly interrupt playback to cache/rebuffer additional data. However, you can always tell the recipient that if this happens, he or she should simply copy the movie file from the CD/DVD to their hard drive for playback.
    What now? Do I open it in Quicktime and use the "share for mac and pc", then right-click on it in the finder and "burn to disc?"
    What you do next depends on how you plan to burn the file. The steps explained above allows you to create a file that is compatible with playback from an optical drive in a QT Player app but is not authored for playback from a commercial DVD Player. Your next step is to burn that file to an optical disc that can be read by your recipient's computer. I my case, I normally burn the disc using a hybrid (HFS Plus/ISO 9660) format which supports HFS Plus, ISO-9660, Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge file systems. How you do this is up to you. You can, for instance, use a third-party app like Toast or Dragon Burn to create a data disc; create/burn an image file with your Disk Utility app (this is a good option if you plan to burn several discs now and/or in the future); create a named "Burn" folder, drop the file to it, and press the burn button; or simply insert a blank optical media disc into you optical drive, change the default disc name to whatever you want, drop your file to the blank media's Finder window, and press the "Burn" button. (NOTE: Burn options may differ depending on the software installed on your system and/or the version of OS X under which you may be operating.)
    Dont see any specs re playback from an optical disc drive? The slideshow is only 3 min long, and I want to avoid turning it into a video DVD using iDVD, iMovie etc, as the quality of the pictures and type degrades badly. Thanks for the help. Been struggling with this for weeks.
    As noted above, this is an encode setting that only becomes active when you are targeting your H.264/AAC encode for multi-pass/data rate limited compression. When active, the "Optimize for..." pop-up allows you to select "computer" (targets playback from a hard drive), "CD/DVD" (targets playback from optical media), or "Streaming" (targets playback from a realtime streaming server) options. This option prevents data rate excursions from exceeding limits normally associated with each of the named types of playback. This option has nothing to do with the file system used to burn the media disc which determines which platforms/OS can read the disc and the file it contains.

  • Export from Quicktime to Flash

    Hello, I have several Quicktime trailers (1 minute and 8
    minutes long) that I want to encode in Flash so that I can place on
    my website. I can either export from Final Cut Pro using the FLV
    codec or use my Flash 8 encoder. These are my questions:
    1. Does one way produce better quality than another? I have
    also heard that Sorenson Squeeze produces better quality
    compression than either of these two methods. Is this true?
    2. I imported the QT movie (.mov) into the Flash 8 encoder
    and saved using Flash 8 medium quality. I then placed the FLV file
    on my site. However, when the link to the Flash file is clicked,
    the flash movie does not play; it asks you if you want to download
    the file. When I download the file, it will not open. What am I
    doing wrong? Shouldn't the flash file stream open?
    3. Are there any tutorials available on QT to Flash that can
    help me?
    Thank you for any advice you can offer me.

  • Export from MPEG1 to DV Stream loses audio

    The title says it all really. I have an MPEG1 movie shot on my digital camera. I want to export it to DV stream so that I can put it on a DVD using iDVD. When I try this, the resulting .dv file has no audio. Is there something I am doing wrong?
    I have the export options set to DV, PAL, 4:3, Interlaced, audio not locked, audio rate 48.000kHz.
    If there's no way round the loss of audio when exporting to a DV stream, is there a way I can add the audio back in afterwards?

    QT does not support the export of the sound from mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 files.QT Mpeg Limitations
    This freeware, however, will export both sound and video from mpeg-1 as is (mpeg-2 requires the Apple Playback component). Mpeg StreamClip
    Mpeg-1 is usually 41.100, I believe. You may need to set it to that via the MIDI settings. Others have reported problems hearing sound in QT with the 48000 setting. That, however, is a separate issue from the lack of sound in mpeg exports from QT.

  • Export from QuickTime: Just the music

    Posting this under QuickTime and GarageBand2.
    Is it possible to export just the music from QuickTime Player? If so, how?
    To, for example, iTunes. And/or burn song to a CD?
    Brought in some music I created via keyboard and a music program called Band-in-a-Box. Plays perfectly in Quicktime, but I want to get it into iTunes, or burn it to a CD.
    When going through GarageBand 2, I lose some of the original sounds and effects I created.
    It comes into QuickTime as MIDI.
    I'm using QuickTime Player 7.5(v149.5) Computer specs are below.
    Thanks.

    MIDI isn't really "music" (in the CD sense).
    QuickTime Pro could export what it "hears" into an AIFF file (like those found on CD's).

  • Flash Export from Quicktime not available

    Just installed Flash 8 on my mack book pro (os 10 .4.9) but
    the option to export to .flv from quicktime pro is not coming up in
    the menu. Does anybody know why this is not appearing. The
    component is installed but not showing up in quicktimes pull down
    menu.
    Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem. Except I had installed CS3 and
    I had encoded quite a few quicktime files to FLV. Then today for no
    reason the flv option is gone from the quicktime menu. I haven't
    done anything different from yesterday to today. I installed the
    new version of Mac os X last week but that didn't change anything
    in my quiktime. So I am really getting annoyed at this and really
    don't have time to be chasing ghosts all day.... You know you just
    want your tools to work when you pay for them... So if anybody has
    any info that would be great.

  • Export from Quicktime...and...no sound. Why?

    I have a 16.9 meg movie file and when I export it from Quicktime there's no sound. Why is this, and is there any way around this? I've tried using MPeg streamclip to export it, and it will, but the file ends up being bigger than I'd like. I'd like to shrink it down to about 4 or 5 megs.

    You cannot export the sound from a muxed file like an mpg file, as this article from Apple states:
    QT Mpeg Limitations
    Fortunately there is a workaround this limitation, in the form of this freeware that will export both the video and sound from mpegs:

  • Retaining timecode when exporting from Quicktime

    I want to use imovie to capture video I will eventually edit in Final Cut Pro. The .dv clip that is captured in iMovie resides inside the iMovie project file package. When I import it into Final Cut Pro, the audio needs to be rendered because it is still in the .dv format where the audio is not on a separate track. I'd like to avoid that rendering process, so I'm opening the .dv file in Quicktime and exporting it as a Quicktime movie. The file plays with no problem in Final Cut Pro. The problem is the timecode that was present in the .dv file is no longer there and the video in Final Cut Pro now has timecode that starts at zero.
    Is there a way to export and retain the timecode from the .dv file?

  • Error when exporting from Quicktime Pro

    I don't really like how any of the Adobe products export H.264 .mov files so my normal workflow that I've been doing for years is to export as a high quality MPEG4 and then open it in Quicktime and export as H.264 from there. I went to do this today and it gave me this error message "Export Controller has stopped working". When I click OK on that it gives me this error in the progress window:
    http://screencast.com/t/N2ZjNjcz
    I've tried this with multiple videos and got the same thing, as a test I tried exporting as MPEG4 and I got a similar error (different code). As I was typing this I tried Export For Web and got the same error. Any idea how to fix this?
