Export HDV as .m4v file using FCE 3.5?

This is embarrassing - I did it once, but don't remember how!
Converted a 6-minute, 4.5GB, 1080i, AIFF sequence, to a 6-minute, 68MB, 640x360, AAC Quicktime movie that looked pretty good on You-know-who Tube. It wasn't Hi Def any more, but it wasn't bad...
Is there a way to extract this information from the created file? It doesn't appear to be in "Get Info." If not, I would appreciate a little step-by-step algorithm, which I haven't been able to find in any book or manual index or on the "Search Forum" database...

Letterboxing could be the culprit, but I don't know how to find out if & when I blundered into it. It isn't in the Item Properties panel for my sequences or in the Show Info panels for my .m4v files, which appear to be identical except for the aspect ratio.
The footage for the project that wound up 640x360 was shot on a Sony HDR/HC7 using the Easy Handycam setting.
The footage for the project that wound up 640x480 was shot with a different Sony HDR/HC7 which I demo'ed on a couple of dives before I bought my own stuff. It was set up for me, I have no idea with what settings.
Both were captured using "Capture Now" for HDV 1080i. I still have the DVCs.
The 640x480 movie plays fullscreen on the YouTube player, the 640x360 one is letterboxed(!?) If looking at them would help, my YT username is "sharronsuss" and these are the only 2 videos there...
I have another 51 dives on tape, unedited, and I'd like to avoid screwing up the export format again, even if it's just on YouTube. Can't learn from unknown mistakes...
Thanks for your help, I know this isn't actually about editing.

How to read data from analog input and export it to a file using Components Works

I've made a simple application (Delphi 5 using the activeX) that read data from analog input channel 0. After I read the data, I want to export it to a file using the Components Works on a 6035E NIDAQ. (I'm not using labview and don't want to use it)
How can I do that???
Regards,
Francis

Here's a sample code to do this...
P.S.: If you read only one channel this code won't work.
function MyFunction: Integer;
var
Low, High, i, j, ChannelCount, RowCount: Integer;
Po: P;
begin
//you are reading multiple channel
ChannelCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 1);
RowCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 2);
for i := 0 to ChannelCount do begin
for j := 0 to RowCount do begin
WriteToDisk(Buffer[i, j]));
end;
end;
end;

Data convertion while exporting data into flat files using export wizard in ssis

Hi ,
while exporting data to flat file through export wizard the source table is having NVARCHAR types.
could you please help me on how to do the data convertion while using the export wizard?
Thanks.

Hi Avs sai,
By default, the columns in the destination flat file will be non-Unicode columns, e.g. the data type of the columns will be DT_STR. If you want to keep the original DT_WSTR data type of the input column when outputting to the destination file, you can check
the Unicode option on the “Choose a Destination” page of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Then, on the “Configure Flat File Destination” page, you can click the Edit Mappings…“ button to check the data types. Please see the screenshot:

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.

Displaying HDV 1080i50 .mov file in FCE captured with Final Cut Pro

Hi
I cannot display (in Final Cut Express) a clip in a .mov file that contains HDV 1080i50. The file was created on a different Mac computer running Final Cut Pro. The source was a Sony Z1 camera. No hardware card was used.
I get the error message in FCE - "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
Can Final Cut Express work with HDV 1080i50 created from FCP?

You didn't say what format the video was, but you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert that video to something that works in FCE.
The important thing is that you'll want to match the settings you convert this video to so that it matches your timeline settings. This will make everything much easier to work with and eliminates the need to constantly render the timeline.
Do you have other content you are going to be working with in addition to just this one clip? If it's just this one clip, you will probably want to use the "Easy Setup" settings of HD, AVCHD-Applie Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50. You'll want to use MPEG StreamClip to convert that video to matching settings -- specifically tell it to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). If you have other media/clips you're working with in addition to this one, you'll then need to decide what format you want to use for the timeline and Easy Setup. If you post those details, we can try to help out.

How to export the best quality file from FCE?

Hi people. I was wondering which is the option that I have to choose to get the best quality on an exported file from FCE4. The best quality I get is from the "Export - Quicktime movie..." option, but there is a huge compression as I see. The final product isn't as good as it should. Obviously, it won't be the same as the original material, but I was wondering if there was another way of getting a movie with much more quality, like when you use "Compressor" from the Final Cut Studio. Thanks in advance.

I imported the material through firewire (it was recorded on a miniDV tape). I respected the format of the source and the files I got are top notch. The final movie looks great on the computer, the differences come when burning it to a DVD. I'm using IDVD, and the .mov file exported through the option I mentioned.
I want to burn that .mov file to a DVD, which means there will be another compression to MPEG2 once I burn it through the DVD authoring app, but the product has some kind of "shaking" in the dark areas. It's not so bad, but I would like to get the best quality, like the ones I've got from Compressor. Is it possible using the Export - Quicktime movie option?

Exporting Layers to PNG files using each layer name to create the file name??

Hi All
I'm trying to sort the following problem and was hoping somebody here could help with a scripting solution - my knowledge extends as far as actions unfortunately - which I don't think is appropriate for this.
I've created a User interface in Illustrator with many layers and have exported this as a psd with layers.
Basically what i'm wanting to do is export every layer as a png file while using the layer name to create the file name - each layer needs to be clipped.
There is no transparency in the png.
I've run the export to files script - but the names are too long and there is no anti aliasing.
I've tried running a script from Illustrator - but it doesn't see sub layers - and doesn't name the layers.
any help would be appreciated.
thanking you in advance
regards
nate

Hi,
We just released this tool: FERRY (http://ferry.thedamarmada.com). It does exactly what you want and a little bit more.
I think it's worth it a try.
It comes with a free demo that will export 5 layers.
Take a look and let us know if it's what you need.
It could be easily tweaked.

Help! Lost all Captured Video Files Using FCE 3.5 and Lacie 1TB Drive

Hi all...
I was wondering if anyone here could advise me on a most dissapointing occurence...
A few weeks ago, I started learning Final Cut Express 3.5. I began by setting my scratch disk to my new Lacie 1TB drive and loading about 5 tapes to the drive via the capture function in FCE... all went well. I then spent the next couple of days organizing all the clips and subclips into bins that I made based on the kind of clips I had shot (my first doc attempt on a local photographer).
Editing a trailer of sorts to practice in FCE, I slowly but surely came to understand the power and functionality of FCE... things were going well. Along with the clips, I also added folders on the hard drive with still photographs, title cards made in photoshop and sound clips that I had made of traffic noises with a mp3 recorder (all sound files were converted to aiff files in quicktime pro). All these files from the hard drive were then imported into FCE and put into their own bins in the browser to keep them seperate from everything else.
Late last night, while opening FCE for another session, the software reported that all of my video files were "offline" and "did I want to reconnect them". I'd had this warning before, but only when my Lacie drive hadn't been turned on while starting up FCE... this time it was on and I was still getting the reconnect warning.
Now I find that ALL of my video files are gone!! The 200 GB of space they took up on the Lacie drive has been regained... either deleted by FCE or by the drive itself... I don't know which. The weird thing is, that the folders containing the sound, and still photos that i put together are still fine, both on the Lacie drive AND in FCE. You'd think if it was a faulty drive that all files would be deleted, or if it was FCE going beserk, that it would kill all bins, not just the video files...
This issue really is difficult because I just don't know which item is at fault and I'm reluctant to try downloading all my data again because I don't know piece of hardware is killing my files... My FCE is not a pirated copy... am using a mac book pro 15" 2 years old w/OS 10.4.11.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much
Take care
Mark

Problem solved - I had deleted all the necessary preference files. I did not reinstall Quicktime, thanks for the suggestions, though. I called Apple Care. A very helpful person on the other end of the phone directed me to trash the preferences (again). No luck. He asked me to create a new user, which I had not done, the problem was still there. The fix was a reinstall of FCE HD. All's good now. Thanks, Apple Care!

Exporting Discoverer to Excel file - using command line ....

Hi Everyone,
The discoverer report has the parameter in the title.
When I click on the Xcel button in Disco., the title with parm gets included in spreadsheet
-but-
I really want to run the command line to send Disco. output to Excel.
The title line is not there!!!! (but column headings with data are there)
I really need the parm value to be included in the Excel header. Any ideas, pls? tx, Sandra
command line:
C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect testuser/tstuser123@odstest /opendb "testuser.ToWeb_Elective_Tally.DIS" /sheet ALL /parameter parm_AcademicPeriod "200910, 200920" /export XLS "C:\ARG_99_Scripts\ARG_99_DailyElectives_script\ToWeb_Elective_Tally.xls" /batch

Hi,
You could try using /export HTML but keep the file type as .xls. Then you will open the HTML file in excel and most of the formatting and title will be preserved.
However, you will not be able to use /sheet ALL with the /export HTML option.

How to export all workbook in files using a batch procedure

Hello to everybody,
can anybody help me in this issue?
I have many workbooks stored on the database and I would like to create a procedure that I can schedule and that backup the workbooks into files.
Do you know if exists an utility for this scope?
Thanks a lot,
Have a nice day

There is a command line interface with the Administration Edition
that allows you do select which items are exported, based on the
command switches you provide.
See the Discoverer Administration Guide, there's an appendix that
deals with all the command line options.

What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE? H264?

I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

Hello,
You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet. H.264 is probably not it.

Custom-size .m4v file?

How can I export a FCE 1080I60 sequence as an .m4v file that is a 640x360 "MPEG-4 Video"?
Used FCE 3.5.1 export>QT Conversion>iPhone, got an .m4v 480x360 "MPEG-4 Video File" of reasonably good quality but slightly distorted proportions, ~55M for a 7 minutes video.
I have an earlier sequence that I exported as an .m4v file, a 640x360 "MPEG-4 Video" that was decent quality & undistorted on YouTube (though it played letterboxed.) It was ~68M for 6 minutes of video. But I don't remember how I did it. I was even more lost then than I am now.
Does this make sense to anybody???
ss

640x360 is apparently an iPod size on my Mac/FCE. All I did was Export>QT Conversion>iPod and there were no further choices. I didn't know it was going to be 640x360 till I checked Get Info when the export was done.
You're right, it looks like crap - lots of pixellation. But the much larger (in MB) file I had generated for my soccer-movie 640x360 looked quite good. I may have started from a different place with that one - I was really struggling, and have versions of the sequence ranging from <5 MB to >5 GB in size. At one point (on your advice, actually) I exported the sequence as a stand-alone movie, printed it to tape, and then reimported it. That might have been the sequence I exported via QT conversion>iPod ????
I may have a testable hypothesis here... Or more likely, I'm missing some obvious point entirely...
Thanks for anything you can think of,
sharron s.

How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library in to a CSV file using Powershell

Hi,
How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
AA.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
$listname="Documents"
$mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
$myweb=$mysite.openweb()
$list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
foreach($item in $list.items)
if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
write-host $item.title
Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player. But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
Thanks, in advance.

HP Desktop E6750 Core 2 Duo, 2 Gb, dual internal SATA drives, GeForce 8500GT, 30" LCD monitor, Vista Home Premium, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Hey, I'm glad I found you guys. This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year. Maybe you can help:
I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere. (So far, so good) Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video. It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off. My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering. I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects. Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project (adobe media encoder, straight to encore). ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

I have created a .m4v file from iPhoto and would like to share it with someone else knowing that the file is quiet large (86 Mo), i used to share file with mobileme, how Can I do that with iCloud ? or another way....

In iphoto, I have create a diaporama which I exported to itunes as a m4v file. I would like to share this file with someone but it is too big to send it via email (84 Mo). This file is now in my films in itunes. Is there a way to share it via icloud.
I used to share files using mobileme which I cannot use anymore.
Thanks for your help,
Eric

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...
