Export part of a movie

How do you export part of a movie to Quicktime after setting in and out points?
Thanks for your help

I believe this is correct. Although I haven't had the need for Compressor yet (therefore haven't bought it yet), as far as I can tell and have heard, you export the entire thing into Compressor at which point you can mark in and out points for the compression and export of your final product. It can't be done in FCPX alone, unless you duplicate your project and delete chunks of it to export only the parts you want.

Export or Share part of your movie

So in FCP X you can not mark an IN and OUT in your timeline and export part of your movie? What is the deal with that?
any ideas or suggestions on going around that, I need to brake the movie into parts and export them, do I need to bring it into FCP 7
Any Ideas ?

Thanks for the update Tom but what has happened to my post?
I posted the link for the thread containing your answer but just your answer has appeared, almost as though you had responded to the OP, apart from the date?
Weird!
Is there any way of removing the compound clip from a project and returning it to its original status?
Somehow I seem to be posting in 2 different threads!

How can I cut off part of a movie in DVD Studio Pro created in Quicktime?

I created a project in iMovie, then exported it to a Quicktime file to import into DVD Studio Pro. Now that I have imported it to DVD Studio Pro, it is too big to burn onto 1 disc. I would like to be able to chop off a few minutes of the movie in DVD Studio Pro, but Im not sure how to do it. I am assuming there is some way to chop off part of a movie in the Track editor - can anyone please help with this?
Thanks

Yes, you can trim a track, but it is a rudimentary control, and not frame accurate.
I think Hal has oversimplified: the process is frame accurate - it is just that your choice of edit points is limited to 'I frames' only. 'I frames' occur about every 12 frames, or 1/2 second, for a typical PAL mpeg2 video track, and every 15 frames, or 1/2 second, for a typical NTSC mpeg2 video track.

Export Error, Error compiling movie. "A low-level exception occurred in: H.264"

Hi
I'm still learning AE. I'd appreciate any help. I can export to Windows. Can't export to Vimeo SD 25 fps in H.264 either. When I try to compile via media encoder the following I get this message.
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
07/30/2013 03:01:03 PM : Encoding Failed
A low-level exception occurred in: H.264 (Exporter)
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
Movie Spec screen grabs:

Update: no error on the following, media encoder didn't throw any errors... must be the project. Disk cache is 120GB BTW. I was able was unable to run through YouTube HD 1080P 23.96 FPS.

Export settings for quicktime movie to use in DVD Studio Pro

The workflow:
I created a movie and did extensive sound adjustments in iMovie and a few video edits, and exported it to a quicktime format:
compression H.264
Quality: High
Frame reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 1280x720
Since then I upgraded to FCS, and tried to create a DVD with DVD SP and import the movie, and I get this error:
Import error:
One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are that they do not match the current project's video standard or their file format is not supported.
I'm fairly sure I have matching video standard...and the file format has always been supported before.
I imported the quicktime (.mov) file to FCP and added some edits, recreated the chapter markers, and early on there was a pop-up that said my movie format did not match the project settings, so I checked the "okay" to adjust the video file to match.
When I finished, I exported the file from FCP to a quicktime movie with the "current settings" that have always worked with DVD Studio Pro before, and I'm getting the same error.
I don't know where the problem is. Both the original movie I created in iMovie and the movie I recreated in FCS will import to iDVD. I wanted the better quality production from DVDSP....
I no longer have the iMovie project file. (I thot I was done.) I do have the original footage, but I'm already three days in and hoping to avoid starting over.
I would sure appreciate any help!
Thanks!

The specifications you listed are the problem.
I can't comment on iMovie -don't use it personally.
From FCP, you would export a self contained movie using the current Timeline settings (not H.264 ever)
Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your movie fits into. This will produce a MPEG 2 video file and an AC3 audio file. Bring both into DVDSP and author.
A DVD video is always standard def 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).
Converting the output from FCP to H.264 is adding an unneeded compression stage that will compromize quality -because DVD assets are always MPEG 2 / AC3. Even if DVDSP accepts that H.264 file, it gets transcoded again using DVDSP's own compression system.
All of this is covered in the DVDSP user manual. Take the time to read it. DVD authoring is complicated if you just jump in and start poking around, simple if you take the time to understand the basics.

Export a only a Movie Clip

I am building an interactive website as my final project for my Webmastering class and need to know one thing. First I'll give you my setup. I have four Movie Clips in four seperate layers on my main timeline. I want to export one of those Movie Clips as an avi file. When I use export>movie, it exports the main timeline. I figured it would do that. So then I opened up the Movie Clip that I want to export and tried the same thing again. No luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation. I have five days to do this and have spent about four days of my life working on this if you add up all the hours that I have spent working on this. I really really need help. I don't want it all crashing down on me because I can't simply export a movie clip...
Thanks in advance,
Darth Haxor

Create a new blank document with the same parameters - size, fps, etc. - as the one the movie clip you want to export is on. Have both documents open at the same time. Select the new document by clicking on its tab, and then open the library window.
On top of the library window is a drop down list of all libraries that belong to currently open documents. Go there and select the library of the original document. From that library grab and drag the movie clip you want to export onto the stage of the new document you created. Position it where it belongs. Now you can export this new document, containing only the one movie clip you want to export.

Why won't my final cut 7 export my entire :30 movie in pro res 422 60i

And some transitions are not rendering properly.

Exporting to Quicktime or movie in IMovie

When I purchased my mac they told me to export the movie to Quicktime and save to the desktop. That way when I opened Idvd I could drag the movie over to Idvd. It takes an extremely long time for the export to take place. Today I tried exporting to "share to movie". I used a 84mb dv file and it took about 10 minutes using "share movie" and about 50 minutes using Quicktime. I then made dvd's of each and played them on my blu ray player hooked to a 50" LCD projection TV. Frankly, I could not tell the difference in the quality. I did the same with video I captured with my HD camcorder and again, I could not tell the difference. My question is--Is there an advantage to using "export to Quicktime" and if so, what would it be? When I purchase an HD burner would the answers to these questions change? In my opinion, using my PC with pinnacle was a much better program, but I bought a mac when I purchased the HD camcorder. Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I export the movie and it comes out lighter than the original everytime. I have used quite a few of the different options and codecs and can't crack this nut... So far my only work around is to darken the movie in imovie first and then export it to get what I want. Not a good work around needless to say.

Export parts of my library (referenced) to be used on other Mac w/ Aperture

I need to export parts of my library (all items are referenced, none internal) to be used on other Mac with Aperture. So my images, projects and albums shall end up on the other Mac in Aperture. A simple proejct export doe snot do the job as the path to the referenced images are not available on the other Mac. Thus, I need to hand them over within the project, or how?
How can my workflow look like to be able to do this export?

Have you tried exporting the items as a new library?
1) In Aperture 3 select the projects you want to export (you can command-click to select non-contiguously)
2) Go to File>Export>Items as New Library…
3) In the following dialog you'll have the choice of consolidating the files in the new library package: do that.
Once this is done you should have an independent library containing all the needed files. When you've copied this new library to the other computer, you can keep the files managed or simply use Relocate Masters to put them on another referenced drive. It should work.

Have you seen my User Tipp here
"Movie Magic" with Stills and Dissolve
When you 'prep' your stills in any 'picture app', you can do a lot of marvel by simply applying dissolves.
In your case, I would create a white document (in Pixelmator, Keynote, Photshop, online at pixlr.com, whatever ...) and another with your logo (and further more ones with additional logos). Drag the jpgs into your iMovie Project and apply dissolves - tadahh! - logos appear on white.

Trying to export a full rez movie from Premeire Pro CS4

I've looked aroud the forums and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue, but I haven't seen a fix for this.
Below is a screen shot of the export settings I'm using to try and export a full rez movie (I'm not picky, H264, Qtime TIFF sequence, anything). Notice the image in the preview window. That's what it's supposed to look like, and the preview within Premiere is fine.
Below is the pixelated image I get when rendering with any combination of maxed out settings.
The content of the video is predominantly motion graphics, rendered at D1/DV widescreen settings, prorgessive.
I've tried all the Quicktime settings even with "None" selected in the Codec dropdown as well as the H264 settings you see above.
I'm on a Mac as well.
Can anyone help please? I need to know how to just get an export from Premiere CS4 with all the footage intact and not pixelated.

yeah, youre dealing with a standard ntsc video size export which is 720x480, so its handling your 720x486 source and export the only way it knows how ( sorta scaling internally etc on export )..hence crop..
looks like your original graphics images ( source files -- source graphics images ) are not matching the project size....
in other words it looks like your source graphics were "scaled" to some extent when imported to the project. that should actually "match" for really good results... the source graphics should match the project dimensions ( without scaling )... the reason is that in the scaling process the editor doesn't do a good job of anti aliasing and so on ( photoshop is better at scaling for example and there are other 3rd party programs that are better for up scaling ( interpolated ) than photoshop..some can be had as plug ins for psd )..
anway, the problem looks to be the scaling....cause ideally your graphics should match the project dimensions ( without scaling )
ps...scaling DOWN is better than scaling UP...with regard the aliasing you see

Cant export to a Quicktime movie! Export fails.

Im trying to export to a Quicktime movie.
I keep getting the error message,
"Operation could not be completed. OSStatus Error -9459."
I got the export to work once and since that I keep getting the error message and failure.
The slide show originally had a couple of Quicktime movies in it as slides.
When I took them out, the export worked once.
But now it simply wont export.
What can I do to fix this?

Terence,
Youre a genius!
It worked.
(My machine was going to sleep while I was trying to export.
I changed settings to prevent sleeping and the render completed.)
Thanks for the help.
