Export Selected Area | Motion 3

Trying to export a selected area on my canvas only. I have created a 3 screen video intro and need to export each "screen area" separately. Is it possible to select a pixel area to export only?
Thanks!
Nate

What problems are you encountering? Either uncheck the layers you don't want and export or use the selection tool to select the object and then export selection.
Good luck.

Rotobrush changing selected areas upon export

I've been working with the rotobrush in After Effects for about a year now and never experienced this problem. I am using After Effects CC 13.0.0.214. When I add the composition to the render queue and begin rendering, it is starts to show areas that I did not select and getting rid of areas that were selected. The export setting are Quicktime file (.mov), RGB+ Alpha, Animation codec.
Basically, the final file doesn't look like what I originally selected with the rotobrush. Any idea what is happening? I already tried restarting the program, tried using .mts files, tried using .mov files. Again, never experienced this issue before in the year I've been using this feature.

Cash??
In terms of frame rate, it gives me a warning on a regular basis that the frame rate is mismatched. At first it told me to change it to 59.97 and then told me to change it to 19.98. The footage was shot in 29.97 and that is what it was set to. Also, 19.98 wasn't even an option.

Export Selection Video Juddery?

Hello, i am very new to motion and i am currently working my way through chapter 2 of my Apple Pro Training book on Motion 3. Very much enjoying the lessons, a few paragraphs i am not quite sure of but i am sure i will get it later. Anyway, i got to a section on 'Baking' which basically frees up your CPU, followed the book which told me to highlight some layers, file export selection, select import into project then done. But the video that was exported back into the project was very juddery, i even went to the desktop to check the quicktime file that was saved & that was juddering all over the shop also. I also deleted the file & started again but the same. Any ideas or am i panicking over nothing. Cheers, Daz

OK, open up the movie in QT Player and export it in h.264 with best settings and then see if that is jittery.
If that is also jittery, it has something to do with the export settings you are using in Motion and I would look at those output settings' FPS.
If it's not jittery, your Animation codec movie's bandwidth is too big for your system and it's only a playback issue, which means you can go ahead and use it in Motion and when you export out your final movie it will be fine. If you can't live with that, bake it again and try a difference codec, like Apple Intermediate or ProRes or see if h.264 at highest settings is good enough.
One of the best ways to bog down Motion is to have layers/objects that are no longer on the screen, but are extended out in the timeline and are underneath the stuff on top. To Motion, that stuff is still there and it gets unresponsive, especially with images that have large dimensions. So make sure you clean up your timeline and trim the duration of each layer and object to only when they are on screen.

Export selection

Is there a procedure for exporting the outline of a selection from one copy of an image to another copy of the same image. I want to export only the size and shape information, not the content of the selection.

-More imported: how can I export an selected area of an movie?
In motion this was very easy by using the markers.
Mark the in and out points on the timeline - on the timeline then press I key for In and O key for Out then export (File->Export) or send to Compressor if you like

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Exported images are too small

I shoot in raw and when I export images to photo labs the size is too small. Instead of mb, the size is reduces to kb. I have export set for tiff 16 bit. What am I doing wrong?

Can't say without more information.
What command are you using to export?
What Export Preset are you selecting?
What are the settings in your selected Export Preset?
Presets and settings are listed at "Aperture→Presets→Image Export ...".

Export selected photos with comments

How does one export selected photos (or an album) in such a way that when someone else imports them (on a different computer), the comments are preserved?
That is, the recipient gets to see in their iPhoto the comments that the originator added in their iPhoto.
I've done some searching in this forum and it kind of looks like there is no way using iPhoto, and that probably the best bet is to use iPhoto Library Manager. Is that right, or have I missed something?
(As an aside to my main question: I think I recall an older version of iPhoto having an option to export selected photos in what was essentially an iPhoto Library structure (not the entire library, just a library of the selected photos), and this structure could be copied to another computer and then imported into the other iPhoto. But I haven't found any such option in iPhoto 08. If I'm correct I'm puzzled, since it seems like a step backwards.)
Thanks in advance!

Don:
Use the File->Export->File Export menu option with the options shown below:
You can change the size and quality level as needed. The description as well as the keywords and titles will be included.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

"Export selection as MIDI file" problem...

Hi, i'm having some trouble when exporting my MIDI tracks to MIDI files. I select File, Export, Export selection as MIDI file and when i listen to the midi file, it's the same rhythm pattern but the instrument is a piano instead of the instrument it was originally.
What the ****'s wrong! am i doing something wrong? I'd be really grateful if someone could solve this for me as i don't have a lot of time, it's for a college assignment!

You're not doing anything wrong......if you are using Quicktime to preview the exported MIDI file the piano is from the Quicktime Synthesizer....

Dimensions set to Selectable are not selectable w/in Smart View Data Forms

When trying to use a data form by clicking "Select Form" in the Hyperion toolbar in Excel (not exporting from webspace), Dimensions that are defined as Selectable are not actually selectable within Smartview. Below is a portion of the script:
BackgroundPOV=S#***.Y#***.w#***.V#***.I#***.C4#***
SelectablePOVList=P{***}.E{***.[Base]}.C1{***.[Hierarchy]}
Within the web, the form works fine and everything selectable is selectable. Within smart view, only Entity is selectable. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have found this and its generally because the dimension is referenced in the column
i.e Year and period is displayed in the column.
In HFM you can select the members from the POV but when opening in SmartView you can't
Solution is to remove the dimension from the col or row.
Thanks

Prerender selection in Motion 5?

Motion 4 had s thing like "export selection" and a choice of putting the result back to the project. Is there any such a feature in Mo-5? I dont see... please?

Motion 4 had an option to import the exported video back into the project; there was an After Export dropdown menu in the Export dialog. That option no longer exists in Motion 5.
Have you tried grouping your animation and Cloning it? [select the group and type K]. It's essentially the same thing (unless you make changes to the source.) You can offset (transform, rotate, scale, etc. [and retime the clone - create loops, ping-pong, reverse animations etc.]) the clone from the original. Fundamental changes to the original grouped animation will change the clone though.

[AS CS3] Export JPEG options, setting, export selection

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting a JPEG export of a selected group of items to adhere to the export options I'm setting. I swear I've done the same thing with PDF export prefs and it works OK.
I need to export a group that is selected, not the whole page, using the options I specify. Every time it's 72 dpi, and probably medium quality.
thanks a million
PS if the only way is to use javascript I will consider that, but Applescript is best for me.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell JPEG export preferences
set resolution to 600
set JPEG Quality to maximum
set JPEG Rendering style to baseline encoding
end tell
set myJPEGPrefs to JPEG export preferences
export selection format JPG to "PREPCTRL-10:Users:chris.paveglio:Desktop:test.jpg"
end tell

>You can only export whole pages; exporting selections has been broken since
CS2.
I just ran into this, and I'm a bit confused.
In my testing, it appears that a page item cannot be exported to most of the export formats in that trying to do so will result in the entire page (or possibly it's the spread) being exported. However, I
am able to export a JPEG of a single page item, though setting the JPEG Export Preferences of the application seems to have no effect on the rendered JPEG which is always at 72 ppi and of a quality less than maximum as reported by the OP.
Are these two separate bugs? Is there no way to get the JPEG preferences to "stick"?

Excel Export - Numbers are displayed as text

Hello,
When the report is exported to excel from SAP LIst Viewer screen -
List -> Export -> Spreadsheet ->All Available format --> In Office 2003 XML format.
The report opens up in excel, the numbers (numerical values) are displayed as text. How can we change the system setting, so when the report is exported to excel, the numbers are not converted to text.
I found SAP Note 1393974 - WD ABAP ALV: Excel export: Numbers are interpreted as text - which is related to WD setting.
But it does not mention about the GUI ALV.
Appreciate helpful replies.
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi,
Try this
List->Export->Local file and then select spreadsheet from the list.
You will get the actual data in excel sheet.

Exporting "Selected Clips" and iDVD Chapter Markers from iMovie

I've tried exporting "selected clips" from iMovie . The iDVD Chapter Markers do not appear as a menu option on the initial iDVD menu screen when "selected clips" is checked in the iMovie Share option. The chapter markers are limited to the clips I'm exporting. The "Share" dialog box seems to indicate that Chapter Markers should export but they don't. // I'm trying to break up a movie that's too long for a DVD (but I will later share to video from iMovie). I'd prefer not to make two iMovie projects out of this. Thanks!

Hello, John,
Welcome to the discussions.
You can either do your 'share to video from iMovie' before or after creating your iDVDs. But, you will need to create a second iMovie if yours is too long for one DVD and you are wanting to make 2 DVDs from the one long movie.
To make the second one before sharing the entire movie:
Select the clips you want in the second movie, then go to 'Edit' and 'Copy'.
Then, select 'New' iMovie. When it opens, give it a name like "Part2" and then 'Paste' your selected clips. Save the movie, then go back to the first one. Delete the clips you just copied.
Close iMovie. Open your DVD project. Find the 'Media' tab, go to 'Movies' and drag and drop your first movie into iDVD. Finish the iDVD project. Save and close.
Then, create the second iDVD project for your second movie in the same way.
Do 'save as disk image' for each iDVD project. That way your project is intact for each one, and you will not lose anything when you change the iMovies. You can burn your DVDs from the disk images.
Now, go back to your second iMovie. Select the clips and copy. Close that movie and open the first one. Paste the second set of clips. Now you have your original movie back and can do your share to video from it. Delete the second movie.

How to export selected comments thru code

Is there any api by which we can export selected/some comments thru code. As exportAsFDF exports all the comments of the document.

I believe there are plugin Apis for serializing a subset of comments. Also in Javascript

Export out of Motion uses all my Ram?

Why when I export out of Motion it uses all my Ram? Whether I have 6GB or 10GB of Ram it uses it all.
Then it starts all the page outs. Right now I am at 12GB of page outs.
From what I understood you should not have a lot of page outs thats why I purchased more Ram.

Well, as a bit rate, HDV has the same throughput as regular DV. The throughput for ProRes is higher so if you have a lot of multiclip angles, you'll need RAID speeds to run it.
However, HDV is a Long GOP format and as such is not really meant for editing, it's designed for file compression. Pro-Res is an intraframe codec. You can wiki the difference if you want to get into specifics, but the gist of it is that HDV requires a lot of processor power to uncompress the GOP structure, allow for editing and then rebuild the GOP structure on export. This is what makes HDV undesirable for editing. It also eats up a lot of what Motion uses to perform math for motion gfx.
If you're working with multiclips, and you have FCS 3, then you have access to the ProRes LT and Proxy codecs, both of which are high-quality/low bitrate codecs. I would convert the HDV to proxy or LT (whichever your system can handle), edit, and then batch re-digitize to the source tapes. However, I would want the high-rez source to be ProRes regular, not HDV.
