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.

Possible exporting help for a old mac...

Hi, me again.
Trying to find a way to burn my 1 hour 30 movie to disk. I've found out that Final Cut Express cannot burn to disk, and to top it off, my copy (that came with my PowerPC Mac) of IDVD won't work either as i don't have a superdrive. Great!
I need to burn this movie to disk to be able to watch on dvd players.
Would it work, if i export the movie as a quicktime movie, transfer it to my PC and burn it on a program such as Premier Elements? Or would the file be the wrong format to play on such devices?
Many thanks.

The only thing that's playable on a DVD player is MPEG-2. FCE does not export MPEG-2. Usually the authoring application encodes the video to the correct format. That's what iDVD does. If you're going to take it to Premiere Elements on a PC to do the encoding and burning to DV you have to tell us what format you're working in.

Need Help for Itunes and quicktime

Hi there,
I just formated my computer and my os is windows 2003 server. When I installed itunes, everything is fine however when I installed quicktime I got an error code : -3. What's going on? and after I done with the installation, I couldn't open an itunes as well I got an error message said : The exception Privileged instruction. (0xc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0x7ca2af84. I don't know what happened I did install itunes and quick time under windows 2003 before and it works fine, but now I got an error. I appreciate the answer, Thanks in advance.

by any chance, did you try downloading the QT Player
from the "QuickTime 7.1 with iTunes 6 for Windows
2000/XP" link on the QT download page? that one
actually leads to an itunes/QT installer bundle.
I did it this way
let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
from there rather than online.) switch off
antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
launch properly again?
I did like you said and I can not even uninstall quicktime from my computer. When I double click the installation package: It shows
Unhandled Exception
Error Number : 0x80040707
Description : DLL function call crashed : QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallProc
Setup will now terminate
Also, itunes does not launch properly. I think there is something wrong because when I install the windows from the cd I can install and run these two programs(itunes and quicktime). They work fine and no problem at all. However, after I update windows by using windows update web site, I couldn't use these programs since then. I have no idea what is going on? Before I reinstall my os, I also use windows server 2003 with sp1 and I could run these two programs. I think may be the new version of itunes and quicktime that they put on the web site have some issues with the windows server 2003, not sure about that.
Thanks.
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone
reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
message numbers if you're getting any.)

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.

Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
Hello,
I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7. Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc. But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed. As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec. I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD. I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000. My audio is set at AAC.
It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline. I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export. The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
I could really use could some wisdom today!
Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

Exporting the file for YouTube by QuickTime 7 Pro. Error Message-36:I/O.

Quickime 7 Pro.
I can't export the video file to put it on YouTube.
I use Fast Start.
When the export becomes 100%, the error message-36:I/O appears and I can't go on.
Please help!

Make sure you're entering in _both_ the user name and key code _exactly_ as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to fail.
Also make sure you did indeed purchase a key for Windows. QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
Hope this helps.

Exporting .mov file from CS5.5 Premier Pro for playing through QuickTime Player

Dear All,
I would most appreciate any assistance on a problem that I am experiencing with a current project.
I have a HD1080i50 project which I have completed editing. The work consists of two video tracks on top of a black video track that presents two identically sized images side by side that run con-currently. To achieve this presentation I have solely reduced the scale of the clips to 44% and then positioned them side by side. After rendering, within Premier, the playback is exactly as I want it and the imagery is sharp and clear. The problems occur when I either try to export the project as a mov. file (to play using Quicktime), or when I export to Encore and produce a DVD. In both cases, the audio is fine but the imagery is slightly blurred.
In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
To date, with earlier projects, I have not experienced this problem. I am obviously doing something wrong in the export settings process and would appreciate it greatly if anyone can advise. Should more info on the project be required to respond, I am happy to provide it.
With thanks in advance.

In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
Sure, but we need to know what you intend to do with the file. Is it for distribution? Archiving? Watching on a computer, or watching on the web? Do you absolutely need to have a QuickTime MOV? There are many variables, not the least of which concerns the exact specifications of your sequence and the footage you're using in the sequence.
To make a better recommendation, some more information is needed.

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 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!

Best QT export setting for istockphoto?

Hi.
I want to export my footage using PPro CS5 for uploading onto istockphoto.com.
The required format is QuickTime (Photo-JPEG).
This is the source summary:
1440x1080 (1.3333), 29.97fps, Upper
(was shot with Sony AX2000)
Does anyone know the best export setting for this footage?
I tried this...
Format:QT
Preset:Custom
Codec:Photo-JPEG
1440x1080
29.97fps
Upper First
Aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
Then, the exported video looks vertically streched...
What am I doing wrong?
Please help.
Thank you!
Kitty_Kai

You're probably doing nothing wrong. Many players will not unsqueeze the footage automatically, you have to tell it to do that with a keypress or menu setting.

Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

Exporting movie for IDVD.

I have been posting some recent problems I'm having with dropped frames when viewing on timelime in FCE 2.0.3. I am now encountering a dialog box "file: I/O error" when I try to export the project as a Quicktime file for use in IDVD. I can find nothing in my manual on what an I/O error is. I can't seem to be able to export the project at all now. I have recently moved up to FCE 2(with Tiger), I was using FCE1 (Panther) before and rarely had problems. Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks, Dave.

Tom,
I have tried exporting the project both ways--as self-contained and not self-contained. The timeline is rendered and mixed down. I'm exporting to the same hard drive as FCE is on(I have only one).
I have been having problems playing the project from the timeline as well. It locks up, drops frames, and then continues. It could be that these two problems are somehow related. I recently upgraded to FCE 2 from 1, and upgraded from panther to tiger. Not sure if this has somnethging to do with it. I have been trying to get Apple Help...but they don't know a lot about Final Cut. They say I have enough RAM(1gb).

QT player export function for iPod doesn't work!

hello
i just bought QuickTime Pro.
unfortunately, the export function for iPod (.m4v) doesn't work...
it stops after a short while and dont't go any further.
thanx for your help!
greetings, iMats

While I haven't used it, QT 7 and the iPod preset (H264 encoding) seem to be quite slow compared to other compressors. Many people have mentioned the seeming freeze, while other state that if you let it run long enough it will eventually finish the project. If you don't have the patience to wait, you might want to try exporting to mpeg-4 and see if that works a bit faster.

Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

Hi all,
I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
Roughly, the answer is:
Quicktime container
Video codec: H.264
Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
Audio codec: AAC
Output channels: Stereo
Frequency: 48kHz
Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
Bitrate: 8000
Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.
