Export just part of Timeline?

Hi,
Is there a way to export just a minute of the timeline? I'm exporting for tests and I don't want to export the entire timeline. I'm using Quicktime Conversion.
thanks

Yikes, thanks!
By the way, how would I loop playing the timeline between in and out points?

Problems when exporting to AVI, firts gave me "unknown error compiling movie" and then just exports small parts of timeline, I have to export the different parts, put it back in a timeline and then I can export it complete...it was working fine, HELP!!!

I proyect is 30 minutes long, im using only AVI files, no mpegs or anything, when I tried to used the encoder because it gave me the message "Failed to return a video frame", but i checked, started the proyect over...and there is no empty frame or anything....Please help!!!!!

The Failed to Return Video Frame error is often associated with a gap between Clips in the Timeline.
Zoom your Timeline view to max horizontal, hit Home and then PageDn repeatedly. Watch the CTI and also watch for any visible gap. The CTI should jump directly to the next Clip (be careful, as it will also include any Clip on any other Video Track, or Audio Track). If it seems to "hiccup," or "jutter," you have likely found your gap.Though it can only be as small as 1 frame, even with the Timeline zoomed in to max, they can be difficult to see.
Close the gap, and do not create another along the Timeline by doing so. Test your Export without the gaps, and see if it completes.
Good luck, and be sure to watch closely and carefully, as gaps can be tough to spot.

Exporting a part of a sequence to Quicktime movie!

Is there a way to export a part of a sequence to quicktime movie in FCP?
I come from Premiere world. In premiere there is a work area bar in the timeline; During AVI export it can be set to export clips within work area. That kind of ability seems to be missing in FCP. When I try to export, its exporting entire sequence. Is there a way to limit export area within a sequence?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks henners, I just figured that out myself. Thanks for your help anyways.
Another question, Is there a set-up that I can make so that the clips that are exported to quicktime movie, automatically imported into the project. I know I can manually import the clip. Again, Premiere had the ability to do this. I looked through the preference set-up, didn't find anything.
Thanks.

When I share video to my macbook it cuts off opening titles and starts vid a few seconds in. I have tried making titles part of timeline, not appending them, but it does the same either way. Any advice on how to get it to include opening titles?

I'm having trouble getting FCPX to share my entire video, it cuts off the opening titles and starts a few seconds in when I share to my MacBook. It's my first vid so I've done a few daft things like editing the audio after I put the visual together, so had to detach it and re-attach it. Is this the possible root of my problems?

Hi Tom
Version 10.0.5 FCPX. Can't send screenshot at present. However on all three versions of the video I have in Projects there is a shaded area on the left at the start. Shaded from top to bottom over the credits and sometimes over the first two or three seconds, this extends to the left and fills the project box before the 00.00 counter and the timeline starts. This only appears when I expand the timeline so I can see the clips I've attached. It's not visible if I just have the timeline and no clips or audio showing. I think it corresponds to the part the export is cutting off. I'm self-taught from tutorials and handbook and it's all new to me, no editing experience prior to the last two weeks.
Couldn't upload to Youtube at all, though it did go to Facebook, but with two audio tracks playing, so export is proving a bit tricky. Also after attempting to share two different versions of the vid an icon has now appeared beside it's name in my Projects next to these two versions showing an audio sign and triangle with exclamation mark. Another version of the vid has the same icon and freezes the computer when I try to open it and is just a black space where the timeline should be. I can't even Move To Trash. I think there may be an audio problem: the main timeline footage should have had audio but was silent, probably a mistake made when it was shot. So I synched audio. However, I think there is audio on the main footage but just unavailable to me. Could be this is messing it up? I'm clearly doing something wrong! Also as mentioned, edited the audio after I'd synched it, so had to detach the synched audio and re-attach an edited version. Could be I went wrong there. I just highlighted, deleted and attached the new audio.
Might download an unexpanded version and see if anything's different. Failing that may go back to scratch, synch edited audio and try again and just not put on start credits. However, could it just be a bug in the software? Would re-installing help?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Export just the clip that I'm on in the sequence

Let's say I've just made a change to a clip in the sequence (an effect or whatever) and I want to confine my export to just that area. When I say 'clip' its not a clip I have in my project window - its a clip I've created from cuts in the sequence. So, sure, I can woefully scroll horizontally both ways until I've set the work area bar to the start and finish of my clip but what I really want to do is to be able to find a quick shortcut that would do exactly that - so that i can export just that clip. I feel that this should be a frequent and therefore stunningly simple thing to do in PPro but, uh... no. And, of course I'm not finding a way to confine the export to just the clip from within the Media Encoder...
I can right-click on the Work Area Bar and Mark Clip but what does a marked clip do for me? I'm sure not seeing a way to export from there. All I get from it is a selected (shaded) area on the time markings at the top and right-clicking there is the same right-click menu I get from within the work area bar.
Frankly, usability weaknesses like this is what has held back PPro in the past (IMO) and the big features are nice but Apple has always had a better intuition on making their software usable. Anyways, didn't want to rant.
So, am I missing a quick way to do this export? Thanks.

I agree that 'segments' would be a good word for these cut parts of my imported clips that I have on the sequence timeline. I think Avid uses that terminology. My point is that since effects (Fast Color Corrector, for example) can only applied on a per-segment basis, why shouldn't exporting be permitted on a selection of these segments (one or more of segments). Exporting is such that we want to do so to the limited extent necessary, right?
My workflow for color correction is often to first cut imported clips into scenes based on the lighting type (color temp), then apply the FCC effect to these cut segments. I realize keyframing would be an alternative, but I don't think that subclips would be a work-around here since they don't retain effects when they go back in the Project Window as subclips.
So, what I was doing was trying different FCC settings on the same segment and wanted to limit my export to this segment. Yes, I can use the Work Area Bar and all is fine, its just that why can I use 'Mark Clip' very conveniently in the timeline and then not use it for export purposes. That would be the perfect answer to my request. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what 'Mark Clip' is supposed to lead to next, but I guess that's another topic.
I've just found that zooming in on the timeline just to where my segment(s) cover almost all the area and then double-clicking on the WAB will cause the WAB to span just this area (not the whole sequence - as the shortcut page would suggest - but just the zoomed-in section) and cuts down on the horizontal mousing around when positioning the WAB on the boundaries of the segment. So, that's a helpful feature. And, of course, the ALT+[ and ] shortcuts are helpful as already stated.
Absent the scripting and expressions that After Effects has, PPro needs to make use of all the timesaving shortcuts it can, IMHO.

Any way to export just an audio file?

Hi All
Is there any way to copy part of a larger audio file, paste it in another track (or open it in the file editor) process it in some way and then export just that file? Been reading manual and books, but this one has me stumped. Only see tracks and busses for export.
Thanks
John

If anyone is interested, and it seems not, a helpful person another list answered my question: copy snippet from one file onto another track; solo new track; select just snippet; save. Finally I can add time-based effects to parts of a larger audio file!

Can I export just the "show" conditional text to a mif?

When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf, just the conditional text that is set to "show" (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf. That's good, but I want the same thing when exporting a mif. There are two reasons for this:
(1) We have an in-house tool that parses a mif and extracts data from certain tables to populate a database. The tool doesn't parse pdfs. And the tool won't always handle conditional text correctly, particularly conditional text table rows. The tool would work fine if the conditional text were already "resolved" during the export to mif.
(2) I'd like to use the Boolean logic for conditional text that is available in FM9, but I need to furnish files to other groups in the company that use FM7. Their FM7 wouldn't display conditional text properly if it depended on anything other than OR logic. But they would be happy to accept mif files that didn't have any conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a mif7 file for them.
I've tried various ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and the editable text. I'd be willing to accomplish this in some round-about fashion involving Framemaker, Acrobat Pro and/or some other tool.
But the happiest outcome for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export just the "show" conditional text and the unconditional text to a mif.
Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?

Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?
Writing a custom script to filter the MIF to parse out the conditions is non-trivial. You can try a Google search for an existing filter or script that does the job. However, if there is no such thing, then you're on the right track, getting FM to do the hard part - filtering the conditionalized content correctly. For example:
* In a copy of the original file, delete the condition(s) you want to hide; during the deletion, you have the option to delete the corresponding text. Then save as MIF to a descriptive name, or save as .fm to a new name, then open and save that file as MIF. Close the source file without saving.
* Reopen the source file and do the same process from this fresh instance, deleting the condition(s) you want to show. Save as above.
* Within FM itself, however, there's no way to automate this process. With one of the free FM utilities - dobatch from cudspan, or dzbatcher from datazone - you can script opening and saving an FM file as MIF. Search Google for dobatch, cudspan, dzbatcher, or datazone.
* To automate setting the conditions, a keystroke-macro recorder might serve, otherwise you'd need the commercial FrameScript product, and a customized script if there's no existing script for this purpose. For FrameScript info, check with Rick Quattro at frameexpert.com.
* If you're using Structured FrameMaker and have the expertise available to customize an EDD, you could take advantage of the "filter by attribute" feature, but it's not trivial to adopt Structured FM just for this narrowly-focused need.

How to export just a portion of video in PE9?

I just upgraded to PE9 (from PE2) and cannot find the same menu options that let me export just a portion of my video to a file or DVD. anyone know where these settings are? Looked in the PDF online, but no luck finding this info.
thanks
david

David,
Besides the Share to Disc limitation of using the WAB, there are a few other Export options where it will not be available, but for most options it is. Here is a look at the WAB (Work Area Bar), and how it is set:
Hope that this helps and good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you want to Burn to Disc, only a portion of the Timeline, you can do that, though not as directly, as the above WAB limiting. You would first Open your Project, and then do a Save_As, renaming to something like Project Name_Short (very important), and then Delete the elements that you do not want. When done, do a Save of this edited Project, and then Burn to Disc from it. As you did a Save_As first, you still have your original Project un-edited and safe. That is why the Save_As step is so very important.

Exporting sections of a timeline

Using Premiere Pro 5.5:
I am editing several days worth of classroom instruction. I am making clips of examples of the instruction techniques used by the instructor, and not the actual class memebers participation. As such, I am only capturing and rendering for final output snips of the instructor's comments and coaching.
Is there a way to highlight a section of the timeline video and export just that selection of the timeline, without having to notate the time code in and out points?
I have been making a note of the time code at the In and Out points, selecting the File>Export... command, then chosing the "custom" choice in the dropdown box and manually entering the time code to get the selection I'd like to export to a final file.
Is there a better way to do this in 5.5?
Many thanks!

Yes, that little WAB is a "hidden gem," IMHO. I use some aspect of it, almost daily. Now, if there WAS a way to completely restore the "auto expand" function, after it has been adjusted. Maybe time for another Feature Request?
I look at my wife's iPad, and her iPhone, and can tell that they do not like me - even when they are turned off.
One day, I will start thinking X-platform better, and mention Mac & PC keystrokes, like good authors do. I am just so danged PC-centric, that I too often forget my Mac-brothers, across the street.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to export just a little piece of a comp?

Can I export just a little piece of the comp rather than "Export active comp to new track" which delivers the whole comp?
After I comp my take and then listen to it again, sometimes I just want to go back and change one little part. The workflow would be alot easier if I could just export a small part, either with the loop indicator or another way.
Thanks.

Try hold the shift key while comping. This allows you to adjust the boundaries of one take, without filling in the area from another take. You can make holes, or create a comp with just one phrase. You'll probably end up with a couple of really narrow slices on a couple takes in the middle of a blank area - just grab and move them all the way to the edge with the regular swipe tool. Also when you now export, or move, this comp you may end up with a couple extra regions on the very front and back of the whole take area, but those are easy enough to delete.

Trying to export a 47 minute timeline

I am trying to export something form my timeline, it is about 47 minutes long, I have set an in point at thes start and an out point at the end, and I am selecting to export this particular sequence as a quicktime movie.
It takes ages to export it, as it usually does, and when I open it up in final cut again to check it, at about 7 minutes in, it goes to black for the rest of the movie, but on my timeline this does not happen.
This has happened three times now and Im lost for ideas as to why this could be!?!
Any ideas?
Lianne

my source footage is from a dvcam and is captured at Blackmagic PAL-DV
my sequence settings are DV PAL 48Khz
and im exporting it as a quicktime movie, i just use current settings, which I use for everything I export, and make it self contained.
When I was batch exporting it, I was always selecting use item in to out.
I have just done a full render, which I am exporting now, but I usually get told not to bother with a full render, that it does it hile its exporting.

Parts of timeline render out, the whole timeline wont..!

I am trying to export my 90min-long timeline, tried with Premiere, tried with AME, CUDA on and CUDA off, but no luck - it kept failing, sometimes minutes into the render, sometimes hours, sometimes moments before finishing. As a troubleshooting attempt i tried rendering out the timeline in 20min chunks, hoping to figure out where in the timeline any potential faulty clip may lie... and well, all of those partial renders came out fine! (well, with some hiccups - had to restart a couple that failed, but in the end all exported fine). I thought it was maybe an issue with MB Looks or Denoiser - but individual clips of those export just fine!
It's a pretty heavy project so I'd guess my PC may not be keeping up? But i've rendered much bigger stuff in the past on my set up; it's always taken long time, but in the end it always worked!
Can anyone suggest how to tackle this problem, please? It's quite urgent, the film has to screen next week...
Thanks,
Matt
PS. I'm on Premiere CC / Win7 64bit / Nvidia Quadro 2000 / 8GB ram - not ideal setup but it's served me well...

If you've succeeded in rendering every second of the sequence when it was broken down into smaller chunks, then I would look at overheating issues. It's been a while since I had occasion to monitor temperatures, so I can't recall what utilities I used. If you don't have a utility handy, post here and I'll wager others will come along with suggestions.

Print to tape OR just play the timeline

IS there any quality difference in just playing a timeline and recording it OR use the :Print to Tape" function. At times when a fully rendered timeline is olayed back it will stuter. Shold I Export the timeline as a QT stand alone and play that back to record to tape?

If the new timeline and QT is just referencing the clips and renders and text stuff how does it playback cleaner (no stuttering) on the new timeline?
The reason they usually do is because when you load a sequence in FCP, your machine stores all the edit information -- cuts, level adjustments, render file connections -- into RAM and, for complex sequences, this is a lot of stuff to store. During playback and Print To Video, your CPU processes that edit information from RAM. Depending on the processor load, you can get some stuttering while all this goes on. With reference movies, storing info into RAM is less stressful for your machine since it has a physical file containing the edit information which your CPU can access directly.
That said, zebulun is right, reference movies don't always playback cleaner (usually because of fragmentation of your media files and/or a render issue). In that case, exporting a self-contained movie is the way to go.
I'm hesitant to recommend this upfront because self-contained movies take so much longer to write and reference movies, in my experience, solve 95% of issues.

How do I export only part of a pdf?

how do I export only part of a pdf?

Hi eannablack,
The only way to export part of a PDF is to remove the pages that you want to export. And to do that, you need Acrobat. You are welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Filliable PDF to Excel- tell me Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields?

I created a filliable form with over 100 sections. I purchased Adobe's ExportPDF to extract the information to and Excel sheet. However every time I upload a completed PDF it only converts the format and doesn’t capture any of the fields’ typed information. I thought that was why I named each field something when creating the form.
Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields?

Hi,
ExportPDF is just a convertion tool, it is not meant for extracting information out of the form.
You may want to consider Adobe Acrobat. You can extract information from form fields via Tools> Forms > More Form Options > ExportData. If you'd like to try it out, we offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/
