Export MP3 from timeline

My client has asked me to export the audio of there video to MP3 so they can use it as a "message on hold' for there phone system. Any suggestions would be appreciated - PS I've never used compressor and it scares me.
Steve

Actually, I think Compressor is really quite easy to work with... It's a much more robust compression tool than what can be done directly from FCP's exporters, and it can even run in the background while you edit in FCP.. if you export a QT movie from FCP, then open that in Compressor, you can compress there while working in FCP. If you export to compressor as I described above, it locks up FCP. However my gurus say that this is likely the best quality you can get from the Pro Apps software compression wise. Furthermore, you can setup a "cluster" or "render farm" and use the processors in more than one computer to work on the compression speeding it up. (Use the Apple QMaster control panel in the system prefs to set this up.

  • Exports differing from timeline/weird stuff

    Hi everyone.
    A couple of weird little problems going on here that I thought you may have bumped into. We're running FCP 7, AJA Kona LHi cards for I/O, snow leopard.
    It is an education institution technically so the machines do get a fair bit of use, but I've checked all usual sequence settings, trash prefs etc..
    We're running into multiple problems: clips suddenly having time-code generator filters applied to them out of nowhere (not all clips in timeline), crossfades applied to almost all clips on the timeline (this couldn't be a user error selecting all and hitting command + T since some don't have fades even though there are handles) and most annoyingly, exports differing from the timeline. For instance, I applied a blur to a duplicate of a clip, matted it out to only affect a certain area of the clip. On export, there is a quick grey flash and then the brightness of the whole image drops for one frame. Doesn't do it in the timeline.
    We're also experiencing tiny little zooms at the beginning and end of frames on some exports. We think we might have this one solved as it's only happening on footage shot on the Panasonic AG-AF101 which was transferred straight into ProRes without going natively to AVC first, which has resulted in some strange interlacing problems compared with 5D footage in the same timeline, also transcoded to the same ProRes settings. We rendered everything to ProRes LT then exported and this seems to have got rid of it.
    ANYWAY, sorry for such a long post but I just wondered if anyone has seen stuff like this, bearing in mind that we're always working with the correct sequence settings with decent editing codecs (usuallly prores), and if anyone has any tips..
    Cheers!
    Kit

    This is months later, I know, but I'm wondering if people are still having problems with this.
    I'm shooting on the ag af-101 and transfering the folder in it's entirety to a hard drive, then logging and transfering into final cut 7. Pro res 422.
    What I'm getting is, I think, what a previous contributor mentioned - a strange strobing or what I would call a juddering on some footage.
    It seems to be on pans and reveals but also on movement of characters within a motionless frame.
    It's possible it has something to do with the camera but it seems more likely to be a final cut issue.
    Any thoughts?

  • Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

    So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
    wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

    If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

  • Exporting clip from timeline as QT movie

    Hi all
    Is there an easy way to export as a QT movie a clip (or series of clips, 'mixed') to a QT movie with the same format as the timeline for easy re-importing? I often find myself wanting to export a group of clips (with matte, text or effects, perhaps) and then re-import it as one easy to manage clip. A kind of 'bounce selected clips to disk'kind of deal. I know I can export the whole timeline, but I often want to export just a bit of the timeline.
    I hope that makes sense
    Regards
    Stephen

    Absolutely. It is a basic function and I use it all the time.
    Export a Quicktime Movie (first option in the list) making it self contained and using the sequence settings. You will end up with a clip that is independant and has the same settings as your sequence...no loss in quality whatsoever.

  • How to export MP3 from iTunes to sD card

    My car radio has an sD slot and can play MP3 files. How do I export from iTunes to an sD card in MP3 format?
    Thanks,
    John

    Insert the card into a card reader and connect it to your Mac. Open iTunes and when the card is mounted on the desk top highlight the songs you want and drag them from the iTunes to the card icon.
    If the songs in iTunes aren't in MP3 Format you'll need to convert them before dragging them to your card. You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example and choose the Setting or "bit rate" you want. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    One exception to this are standard copy protected songs (if you haven't upgraded to iTunes Plus versions) purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.

  • QT Pro 7 - Not exporting MP3 from ANY format.

    Here are links to images showing the problem.
    http://t3st.com/qt/QT_exportscreen.jpg
    http://t3st.com/qt/QT_errorscreen.jpg
    When I try to export anything, I repeat ANYTHING as an MP3 I get an error screen. (mov, avi, mp4, aif, etc..)
    I noticed that my export to MP3 options are a little slim. Ideas?
    For now taking the files and opening them in iTunes to convert works, but I'd rather not have to hack things to make them work.
    Thanks.

    You appear to be using a third-party plug-in or codec to enable the MP3 export since to the best of my knowledge Apple doesn't supply an MP3 codec with QuickTime. The only Apple-supplied solution is iTunes.
    Perhaps you need to go back to the third-party solution provider or to the customer support area for that particular product. If it's unsupported open source or freeware then you may be out of luck, but it could be useful if you identified the source of your MP3 codec.

  • Editing Audio from Timeline in Another Program

    Often, one will want to edit the Audio on the Timeline, in another application, like Adobe Audition. Premiere versions allow for this to be done easily, and with exacting control.
    Let's say that one has dozens of edited Clips on the Timeline, and they wish to edit ALL of the Audio. * Editing those individual Clips is easy, but how does one edit them all in one file, which will then replace the original Audio in the Clips?
    The best way to accomplish this is to Export, or Share the Timeline as an Audio Only file. This Export/Share will be slightly different, depending on the exact Premiere program, and even on the version of that Premiere Program. Often, the Audio-only Export/Share is from the MS AVI Export/Share screen. One would choose Export Audio, leaving Export Video unchecked. If Multiplexing does not automatically set to "None," choose that now.
    For this "round-trip" process, the Audio file format is very important. The ideal choice of Export/Share is PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. This will yield an uncompressed Audio file, that almost every Audio editing program will easily handle, and is also the format, that one will want to Export, or Save from the Audio editor, for the second leg of our round-trip.
    Import, or Open that resultant PCM/WAV in the Audio editing program, and edit, as is needed. When done, just Export, or Save (depends on the program) that edited Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. In some Audio editing programs, this will be listed as WAV (Uncompressed). The Sample-Rate and Bit-Depth are important, as the 48KHz and 16-bit are the ideal for any flavor of Premiere, and though Conforming will be necessary for editing, it will be easy on the program, and there will be no issues. Stay away from any compressed Audio formats/CODEC's, like MPEG/MP3. You do not want to throw away precious data at any step. That is why we use PCM/WAV for the Export/Share, and then the Export/Save from the Audio editing program.
    When done, just Import that resultant PCM/WAV into Premiere. Wait a moment for all Conforming to complete, and then drag that WAV to the Timeline, on a free Audio Track that matches your WAV's Channel-count, i.e. a 2-channel Audio Track for Stereo, or a 1-channel Audio Track for Mono (these must match in Premiere). For more detail on channel-count and Audio Tracks, see this ARTICLE.
    Now comes a personal preference for completing this round-trip. I like to leave my original Audio, just in case I change my mind. Gathering up and Trimming the original Audio can be a tedious task. As I have placed my edited WAV onto an empty Audio Track, I just go to Window>Audio Mixer, and Mute any/all Audio Tracks, containing my original Audio. It's still there, if I ever need it, but is now Muted.
    Hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    * Sometimes we want part of the Timeline's Audio, but that part spans multiple Clips. There is no need to Export/Share the entire Timeline, and then Trim it. Just set the WAB (Work Area Bar) to the part that we do want, and make sure to choose "Work Area" in the Export/Share settings dialog.
    Also, and especially when doing just a segment, covered by the WAB, I like to position the CTI (Current Time Indicator) or Playhead (CS 5.5) at the beginning of the WAB, with Snap ON. As I drag my edited WAV to the free Audio Track, it will Snap into place, right at the beginning of the WAB.

    There isn't any simply way to where you want to go.
    You can export each track separately. Switch off the audibility for all the tracks except one. Export the track. Repeat for each of the tracks in the timeline. Export the video for reference.

  • Can I export music from my iTunes library to another application?

    I've been trying to figure out how to export music from my iTunes library to either Movie Maker or Roxio My DVD Creator. If I browse to my iTunes library, it doesn't show any music within the artist folders. I take it the only way I could use the music is to burn a CD and then open it using "my computer" and copying it to a folder on my PC and then browse to it from the other applications?
    Dell Dimension E520   Windows XP  

    I think AAC will get you a little better quality for
    the same file size of an Mp3. If I recall, iTunes
    saves the original file and makes a copy with the
    converted version. But to be safe, just make a backup
    copy of the original file
    And I take it that it makes no difference what format the file is in, it will still upload to the iPod and be playable there. I guess the default is set at AAC in iTunes and I never knew where/how to change it.
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • HDMI out from Timeline

    Hi,
    I am doing a job for an Art Gallery, in which I have to shoot, and do a quick edit (no effects), and output to a Full HD 1920x1080 TV.
    I intend to buy a Panasonic AG-HMC70U Shoulder Mounted Camcorder, which stores AVCHD 1080/60i (NTSC) video in SD/SDHC Cards.
    I intend to buy a Sony VAIO F VPCF127FX/B 16.4" Notebook Computer, with Windows 7 Premium 64 bit, processor 1.73GHz Intel Core i7-740QM, 6 GBs RAM, and nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 1GB Dedicated.
    Will I be able to output directly from CS-5 Timeline to TV, through notebook's HDMI out?
    Thank you,
    Ronaldo

    Thanks a lot robodog2
    I have a few questions bellow in red:
    I would get 1 Terabyte drives instead...they are not expensive. You might need the extra room if you have to do some exports to files.  Get the fastest ones you can for editing...esata better than fw800...make sure you turn off indexing and format NTFS and assign specific drive letters to the externals...put tape on driive with the drive letter you gave it clearly marked. If you dont you will have a hard time swapping them and maintaining links with your project(s).
    Agree.
    dont partition any drives
    Agree.
    when you say dvd you mean of course Blue Ray...for HD....  dvd is for SD....just dont forget when you look for disc burners.
    Yes...Blue Ray, I keep saying DVD....
    There's a program called neoscene by cineform that a lot of people use for avchd footage....you might want to look into having that just in case.
    I'll check into it.
    Test the tv -- output real footage from timeline to the same HD Tv you plan to use at show ....output to make sure it likes interlaced footage.
    Here is the catch, I'm in Brazil, and this work will happen in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and we arrive 1 day before....this is why i'm trying to prepare as much as possible, in theory, before hand....
    You'll probably put OS and program on C drive
    Agree.
    put pagefile on 2nd drive 1.5 x your ram with min and max size the SAME MAX SIZE so it never gets fragmented...do that first thing so the pagefile is near the center of disc.  I guess you said 2 internal and 3 external ? so you can put your scratchdisk on disc 2 also...and assets and any exports you need to do on the externals...
    I will have 2 Sony VAIO F VPCF127FX/B 16.4" Notebook Computer, with Windows 7 Premium 64 bit, processor 1.73GHz Intel Core i7-740QM, 6 GBs RAM, and nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 1GB Dedicated.
    So, here you lost me...
    1 - How do I - 1.5 x your ram with min and max size the SAME MAX SIZE so it never gets fragmented
    2 - How do I do this pagefile to start at center of dics?
    I will only have one internal disc, dedicated for OS.
    Scratchdisk, assets and exports - I will have 3 external discs in total, one to edit, one for playing to, and the third one for copying....
    plan on having an "emergency" helper that REALLY knows whats up with the computer and editing stuff in case you get stuck and have to focus on shooting and need help ...line that up beforehand.
    Agree.
    go to the gallery and see if you can do anything to enhance the lighting or color correct lights, windows etc beforehand...
    test everything .....so you dont have surprises that make you crazy on the day.
    That will be impossible as we arrive 1 day before...I'm taking my lights, tripods, color gels...
    good luck  sounds like fun..
    Thanks a lot...

  • How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
    then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
    Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
    http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
    Ut Video Codec Suite
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
    But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
    you should consider using the Project Manager.
    Trim or copy your project
    By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
    with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
    Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
    it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

  • No more exporting clips from Source Monitor in Premiere CS6?

    In Premiere CS4 I used to double click a clip on timeline (to open it in Source Monitor), and then immediately hit File>Export Media. It would then automatically selelct this specific clip for export without the need to set In and Out points. In Premiere CS6 it doesn't seem to work, meaning that if I want to export individual clips from timeline, I need to create In and Out points for each export , which is quite time consuming comparing to CS4, especially when working with many clips. I already found 2 useful features, that were just eliminated in Premiere CS6, and I don't understand why to destry something that works?!
    Or is there another way to do it?

    Jim Simon wrote:
    CS6 works just like CS4 did on this one.
    Not in my case (I'm on Mac, maybe in Windows it's different?): in CS4 I double-click a clip in a timeline, it opens in the source monitor, and I click Export. I immediately get only this specific cut selected as a work area without any need to mark in/out, or to define work area. In CS6 just doesn't happen... Can you confirm that CS6 also does it and can you tell me your configuration and version?

  • Export Comp from AEFX to Premiere - display problem

    1.I have Exported a Comp from AEFX to Premiere
    2. I open the Comp as a Timeline (Sequence) in Premiere.
    Fine so far.
    3. Scrolling the Timeline - also fine.
    4. As soon as I render it . The Program Monitor displays it "reduced" in Fit Mode and correctly in 100% Mode
    5. Using Tilde Key function the Display is incorrect (reduced) in either fit or 100% mode.
    Deleting the Render Files takes me back to step 3.
    I can not fathom this at all ( a bug maybe?)

    I need to check this out further by some Export Tests from Premiere but meantime I have to change the workflow for this project to something that works without doubt.
    Anyone able to do a little test for me with a simple 720p AEFX Project > Export to Premiere ?
    Another issue with export from AEFX to Premiere is that the Text Layers do not export.(or import - whichever way you want to look at it)
