Export HDV1080 16:9 to Quicktime DV720 16:9

Hi there Mac guru's
I've had a bit of problem exporting my HDV movie in Final Cut Pro HD. I burnt the exported Quicktime file to a single layer DVD (pioneer DVR109) and the movie plays very 'streaky' - horizontal lines when the camera-shot is panning.
I thought this must be because I burnt a HD file to a standard DVD and played it through a standard PAL UK DVD player. I then re-saved via a different setting in the export (video setting - DV) but the video is now 4:3.
I guess I'm gonna have to try different variations of exporting the movie; essentially I want to export at the best possible quality and burn from iDVD, keeping the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Does anyone know which setting (from the quicktime drop down menu) is the one to choose to get the best picture for a UK 16:9 TV.
Much appreciated.
PC the poor Mini Mac is gasping for breath rendering and exporting HDV!.
PS- Video captured on Sony HDR-HC3, highly recomended, but not so good low light recording as my old Sony DCRPC-330
Mac Mini 1.25Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4)  

It sounds like it is okay until you encode it for a DVD (in other words the FInal Cut Project itself looks fine?)
What you should do is export it at the highest quality possible. 8 or 10 bit.
Then what you need to do is use either Compressor or other encoder to encode. Compressor has some 16:9 PAL Presets.
You should use 2 Pass VBR at the highest quality setting (designated "best" for the shortest time period that exceeds the running time of your footage) material. Of course there are more factors that go into encoding, but this may be a good place for you to start.
You probably want to export a moment or two of the problem sections to test.

  • How do I export an imovie as a quicktime small enough to work on iweb well?

    I recently tried exporting a imovie into a quicktime choosing web page quality. Once this process was done I opened a iweb movie page and it inserted the quicktime movie in but also included a warning that it will not play well for all computers. It said the best way to have it work is to compress it to 10 MB. I went back and didn't see that option or understand all of the options that might make is smaller. It's about a 1/2 hour school concert. Many thanks for any help!

    Hi Mt514,
    If it's 30 minutes, I wouldn't worry about the 10 MB thing, I'm not certain, but I think that would apply to like a 5 minute movie... afterall, it's how big it is per second, not really how big overall!

  • Exporting Still Image Sequence in Quicktime 10?

    I've been spoiled by the feast of 'export as' options in every quicktime I've used before, especially exporting as a still image sequence.  Just got a new macbook pro (os 10.7) that came loaded with quicktime 10, and now there are virtually no options for exporting.  I also need to be able to import the still image sequence again back into quicktime.  Is it possible to run an older version of quicktime?  Or is there another way to do it in the new version?  OR is there some free program out there that will let me do the same thing?
    Thanks
    Nate

    Is it possible to run an older version of quicktime?  Or is there another way to do it in the new version?  OR is there some free program out there that will let me do the same thing?
    You can run the QT 7.6.6 Player Pro app under either Snow Leopard or Lion. Both QT 7 and QT X players can be installed simultaneously. The QT X.1 Player app does not have this feature. MPEG Streamclip will open a sequence of images but has a fixed frame rate unlike QT 7 Pro which offers user selectable frame rate options when opening image sequences.

  • Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

    Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

    Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

  • Can't export from keynote 09 to quicktime

    When I try to export from keynote 09 to quicktime 10 I get an error code there is not enough disk space or error 34.  I have taken off some graphic intensive files and have 30 GB of space left, but that does not seem to help.  Waht can I do?

    Until you receive a specific answer from an expert, I would suggest finding somewhere to put unnecessary (or less important) larger files.
    Macs need 10% free space to work correctly and 15% is much safer. Any less and you could run into all sorts of unpredictable problems. I think you will find that some of the free space is being used to process your exporting request, so that is multiplying the problem.

  • Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion

    I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
    Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
    I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
    One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
    Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!
    Dan

    You are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
    Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
    Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
    Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
    Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD?

  • Exporting from STP to a quicktime movie?

    Can anyone tell me why STP exports such a small file size.
    Example...
    I Send a sequence from FCP to STP as a multitrack project.
    I then added music in STP and exported the master mix as a quicktime movie in h.264 format with no compression.
    It cam out at just over 200 MB. Which is way to compressed.
    So then I exported it from STP to FCP and then exported the same movie as quicktime h.264 uncompressed and it came out at over 2GB.
    Seems like a major waste of time having to send it back to FCP just to export a decent size quicktime movie.

    When you export your mix "Using compressor" adjust the video compression so it's more to your liking. Or use the preserve Video setting which will pass the video through unchanged from the original.

  • Unable to export Keynote '09 document to QuickTime

    I have been trying to export a keynote document to quicktime. I choose the manual transition but when it exports there are no controls that allow me to skip through each video. The manual function works, in that I can click through the presentation but only once each video is finished. How can I rectify this problem?

    The movie controls are made visible in QuickTime -- from the Window menu, choose "Show movie properties...". Click on the Presentation tab.
    But it won't change the behavior. QuickTime won't respond to any mouse click or keyboard entry until the video segment concludes. Of course, you can physically drag the movie slider.

  • Problems in Exporting in FCEx HD using Quicktime Conversion

    I am currently editing video footage for web delivery using Final Cut Express HD and am having problems with the export using Quicktime conversion. When exporting to a Quicktime movie, there are no problems with the export. When exporting to MPEG-4 using Quicktime conversions, the audio is fine but the video image is very choppy and quality is significantly reduced. Is there a filter I need to apply to enhance the video for MPEG-4? Are there specific settings that work best with MPEG-4 in H.264?
    Thanks for the help

    MPEG-4 export only works in specific frame sizes. The greater the image size the higher the data rate you'll have to use to produce a good quality image. The quality of the compression is going to be to a substantial degree dependent on the quality of the original recording and the original compression.
    YouTube uses Flash video for delivery BTW, not MPEG-4.

  • 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)?

  • Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?

    Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?
    I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps.  The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file.  How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

    joegez,
    There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
    Hope this solves the problem for you.

  • How do you get to the options for export settings with the new quicktime?

    I'm having trouble with the new quicktime pro. I'm trying to export a video with specific settings when exporting. It seems that in this version of quicktime you export and the only options i get is how to format : for ipad/pod/phone or 480p which is not what I want I need to change the settings to make my video 480x360 and fast start for web. can someone help

    How do you get to the options for export settings with the new quicktime?
    You don't Use QT 7 "Pro", GarageBand, a video editor app, or a third-party app like MPEG Streamclip all of which can access user conversion settings.

  • How can I export a Keynote presentation to Quicktime while maintaining my set transitions?

    I try to export a Keynote presentation to Quicktime. This works, obviously, although it doesn't maintain the carefully timed transitions I set up. Instead, it just the default transition time for every slide, instead of the custom transitions I entered.
    The default transition time now is 5 seconds. I tried removing the 5 but it just returns and entering 0 seconds does exactly that; 0 seconds.
    Does anybody have an idea as to what I should do to fix this dastardly problem?

    This is a well known problem with Keynote 6.1, the only thing you can do is use Keynote 5.3 instead, if you have it.
    Meanwhile sit back and wait to see if Apple issues a fix in the schedule of updates they said they would issue during 2014.

  • Export Help for PE8 to Quicktime

    Hi -
    I am a bit over my head and need some video output advice!
    I put together a webinar in my new Premier Elements 8 and I've tested no less than a dozen output fomats and I'm not getting the results that I need.  The images look great  but the text looks fuzzy.  I am working with a series of still images (which inlcude the text) and an audio track.  Here was my process:
    - The webinar was built in Powerpoint which I then exported each slide to a TIFF file (resolution for each looks good)
    - I then brought in the individual images as media and added the audio track, adjusting timing accordingly
    - The finished webinar is long - 41 minutes.  I need to export this to .mov for Quicktime for playback that will stream through a website
    I've tested a 30 second piece with both of the existing Quicktime presets and neither one produces clear enough text.  I've tried MPEG in HD and it looks much better, but of course that's a huge file that will then need to be compressed into Quicktime, so that doesn't seem ideal either.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much.....

    Unfortunately, the transition from PowerPoint to Premiere Elements is not a smooth one. PowerPoint  just doesn't produce a clean enough image
    Getting a clean image out of PowerPoint (or other elements of Ms Office) always proved difficult (I believe) because of the Metafile format. This always seemed to dupe most image capturing software (pixellation, tears, noise, false colour backgrounds).
    However there has always been one piece of software, on every Windows PC sold, that deals with it beautifully - the oft derided MS-Paint application. I've always been able to get a good clean image by copying an image from PowerPoint, pasting it into MS-Paint and then saving it out as .BMP for further processing. There is a symmetry here with PRE workflows - trying to get an image into a format that can be easily edited.

  • Clip Notes in CS4/Acrobat 9: exports transcript, no controls for QuickTime

    When I use the Transcribe feature, then export my project to Clip Notes, it exports every transcribed word as a separate comment. There doesn't seem to be any way of suppressing that, and there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a transcription either in PP or in Acrobat. The result is that the reviewer sees all these comments and has to fight with Acrobat to insert new comments. When I import the xfdf back into PP, I get the whole transcription loaded into markers along with the reviewer's comments. Unless I open every one, I can't tell what's what.
    Is there at least a way of deleting the transcription in PP or Acrobat?
    Also, if I export the video as QuickTime, there are no player controls in Acrobat. I only get player controls if I export as Windows Media. That means that some Mac users won't be able to use my Clip Notes exports. I've seen others asking about this, but no answers. Any ideas? I'm running this under Windows Vista Ultimate.

    But I find it amazing that there's no way to delete the damn thing. Adobe made a big deal of transcription, but it seems they didn't regard it as more than a gimmick, since they did it half-baked. I think you're right that it's best not to use this "feature".
    I don't know if it's necessarily half-baked, so much as it is an overly optimistic appraisal of the capability of the technology at this point in time. I mean, it does create words, and sometimes very interesting ones at that
    What's interesting to me is that when I tested out the transcribe feature back when Adobe released the beta of Soundbooth CS4, it was MUCH more accurate--and I was testing it on the mixed, final soundtrack of a documentary captured from Betacam SP. The transcription wasn't anywhere near 100%, but it was actually usable. Now, it struggles on pristine audio from a single, clear voice track. Wish it wasn't so...
    Anyway, you can stop the transcription from appearing in a Clip Notes export. Check out the following screenshot for the how-to:
