Export slideshows to codec other than h.264?

I'm trying to export a slideshow I've created for use in a larger video project. I brought up the "custom" option in the slideshow export options in iPhoto '09 and changed my QT settings to fit within the Final Cut Pro project.
720x480, 29.97 fps etc. I changed the codec to a few different things (animation, prores, uncompressed) and every single time it snaps back to h.264 and turns the options for fast start and audio back on even though I unchecked them.
Anyone know how I can get iPhoto to stick with a higher quality codec? The compression really makes the photos ugly and they are going to be edited with other video elements and recompressed for DVD eventually... I was hoping iPhoto would save me from having to put moves on 160 photos!

No.

What video codecs other than "avc1" will show .mp4 as a TV program?

What video codecs other than "avc1" will show .mp4 as a TV program in iTunes?
Some of my TV shows have the video codec "mp4v" and show only as movies in iTunes.
My Philips portable DVD player will play .mp4's with video codec "mp4v" but not "avc1".
I'd like to save only one format of the files. Is there a conversion or update that will allow iTunes to identify the "mp4v" as a TV show?

CS4: Is it not possible to export States to anything other than GIF?

I see the option to "export states to files," but there's no option to choose a file format other than the pre-filled GIF format. Is there no way to export states to flattened PNGs without going through and saving out each one? If not, I'm going right back to Photoshop and layer comps. If it matters, I'm on a mac.

Even though I didn't ask the question, thank you for this tip, Jim. I was having a problem with gradients banding and I knew the problem was related to the images being .gifs - I just couldn't figure out where to change that.

Export of results into other than LMS

Hi there,
As a Captivate newbie, I'm having difficulty in getting
results experted seamlessly into a system other than a LMS.
I've seen some articles on using Cold Fusion and Excel
spreadsheets to export the data, but there is too much interaction.
What I'd like to do (if it is indeed possible) is to export
quiz results to a comma delimited file seamlessly on a remote
network drive, where the Company ERP system can then pick them up
and import using a perl script (or similar). The last part is
relatively easy, but the export from Captivate2 is what is
perplexing me.
Does anyone have any ideas that they could lend me on how the
setup of this could happen?
Thanks for being patient with this newbie.....

Hello Gunnadothat.
There are a couple posts near to yours that give possible
solutions, such as access databases to sql databases. In your case
you specify a results.txt. If you choose either, getting commo
delimited files is easy.
Look at them and try it. All you would have to do, is instead
of pointing the results to a database, you specify the commo
delimited file.
Here is code and an example to do that.

Sorry, but you can't get away from the interaction. :)

Export audio for itunes other than aiff?

I'm exporting some audio, dv based and ultimately want it in itunes (v7) both as an apple lossless and as an aac. I can export from fcp using quicktime conversion to both apple lossless and aac, audio only, .movs. For some reason I cannot get itunes to open or play these files.
The only thing Itunes seems to like is if I export audio to aiff. Then itunes will play it (and of course I can convert it from there).
Two questions... How do I get itunes to recognize these files. They are in a format it shoud recognize, no?
If I can't, is there a quality loss by going up to aiff and then back down to apple lossless or aac?
thanks

AIFF is lossless, so no quality loss by going out that way.

Preferred video formats/Codecs other than QT/MOV?

We’ve got a project coming up that will involve a lot
of short (2 min) videos so I’m thinking it’s time to
review our video standards. The source is typically a mastered DVD
video disk (I know, not a good source but most corporate clients
don’t know any better) or in rare cases hi-rez MOV’s
straight off something like an Avid system. Either way we’ve
got to crunch these files into something that plays well with
Director 11/XP-SP2 and Vista (I love Mac’s but it has been a
long time since any of our clients cared if a project was Mac OS
compatible).
In the past we’ve used MPEG-1, MPEG-2 in limited
circumstances, and our current standard is 720 x 480, WMV-9 (main,
not the advanced profile), 1000-5000kbps depending on storage
constraints. Delivery is almost always disk based so bandwidth is
not an issue however some of our clients like the 3” mini-CDs
(180Mb) and even on a full sized CD storage is often a concern
(distribution of our projects on DVD-ROM is still uncommon). Lately
we’ve been getting requests to convert the source files to
FLV/On2 or Sorenson for web/Flash applications and I’ve been
wondering if it’s time to start using these in Director as
well. Has anyone been using this format or have opinions on getting
the best possible video into Director while still being compatible
with an average corporate user’s PC?

FLV/VP6 is excellent quality with small file size and
possible to play
within Director with no extra codec/application installed -
just through
FlashAsset Xtra. Highly recommended !!!

Export Slideshow better than H.264

Hello,
I have iPhoto 11, v 9.5. I like the way creating a slideshow timed to the length of a music track is built in. I dont see that sort of template with iMOVIE.
In iPhoto, is there a way to chose a codec for export higher than H.264? I want to take a slideshow and export to Prores 422
rather than export as h.264, then reencode to Prores.
Note: Post production here is with Final Cut Pro.. working HD with Prores 422.
Thank you,
Bob

Exporting SlideShows in H.264 Format?

Hi,
I was just trying to export an iPhoto Slideshow to Quicktime H.264. Currently i see only Export -> Large (720 x 480). Is any way to export it has a HD Quality Quicktime film?
Many thanks

Hi Alex,
I am not sure if you can export a slideshow to H.264 within iPhoto. I do know that you can open the exported slideshow with Quicktime Pro and export it is H.264. By the way, it does a fantastic reduction of file size and the quality is great.

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

How to transport a VC model other than the simple import/export?

Hello,
What are the other options I have to transport a VC moel from one portal to another other than the export/import option that goes through my local filesystem?
If I will use the portal transport package to transfer the iView generated it won't work since the iView doesn't contain the complied application in it that needs to be deployed to the server. So what are the other option I have? And as a followup question, does VC integrated with NWDI or NWDS in some way?

Hi,

Are you Compiling the VC model with "Deploy Model with PAR" checkbox in compiler tab checked? If you create a transport package and add all objects in the model folder, it will work.
What are the issues you are facing in portal transport import?

Exporting other than english language pdf's into word

Hello,
I have pdf's that are in languages other than english e.g. german or sanskrit.
I have Acrobat X1 Pro which I used to export the pdf's into word. The word documents really look nice but most of the words come up as garbage and random symbols. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Acrobat XI does not support Sanskrit, but you can specify the document language as German.
When exporting the file, on the Windows "Save As" dialog, select the "Settings" button. Then slect the "Set Language" button and set the language in the next dialog.

Can I export a movie other than to iPhoto?

How to export slideshow without losing resolution?

I've used Macs for years, but I'm now having my first experiences with iLife. I've found similar questions to this one discussed here, but not exactly this question, I think.
I have created a slideshow in iPhoto, complete with painstakingly set up Ken Burns effects timed to coincide with transition points in the music that accompanies the slide show.
I would now like to send the slide show to a friend, in some way so that the friend can view it in very high resolution, just like I can, and maintaining the timing of slides to music.
How can I do this? Exporting the slideshow as a .mov was a huge disappointment. Iphoto 6 only offers three resolution settings, and even the highest is much too low. Also, the timing got messed up in the .mov -- the slides advance too fast for the music.
I tried Share->Send to iDVD, to see how that would work, but that failed entirely. I got an error message saying "the export movie file could not be created." Some day I'd like to figure out how to fix that problem, but it's only a high (i.e. pre-Christmas) priority if it's necessary to get my friend the slideshow.
So what should I do? Will I need to re-make the entire slideshow in another application? That would take me a lot of time, and also I'm concerned about the level of editing control that I'd have in applications other than iPhoto. It looks like that would give me more control over exact duration of each picture, but less control over exactly how the Ken Burns effect pans and zooms over each picture, which is important to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Medhead:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The largest you can get any slideshow will be the size sent to iDVD, 720 x 540. If you create it in iMovie and export as Full Quality that will be the same. If you select Expert Settings you can select the H.264 compression with Best Quality compressions and multipass for best quality.
The best quality slideshows, IMO, is to create them in iDVD from imported stills. You are restricted to just one transition for the slideshow, no KB effect but can add titles or subtitles to selected slides.
The slideshows I've created this way and burned play on my plasma HD tv with great sharpness and clarity. Again its my preference to go this route to have the better image quality. Also with this method it's a true slideshow where the viewer can go backward slide by slide with just one click. No rewinding of the movie like with a regular movie file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Working with Audio Premiere as well as Exporting to right codec

Hey guys,
Before I explain my problem let me tell you my setup. I have 2 Mac Pros. One is the new 12 core with 20 gb of ram(snow leopard) and 1 Early 2008 8-core Mac Pro with 20 gb ram(snow leoaprd). One the 12 core machine I am using After Effects CS5 to which I do my composting I render the file as the default animation codec with audio. I import the footage into Premiere CS5, which is on the 8 core early 2008 mac pro which has a 1gb ATI card so not Mercury engine capable, He has problems with it crashing when trying to keyframe and applying effects to the audio. Also as a test we render a sequence and there are drops in audio when in fact there are none in the sequence. What could be causing this? This is concerning because this small 9 minute sequence is only part of a short kids movie for our church which we shot in HDV 720p footage via a Sony FX1000. There will be many sequences that will make up about a hour and 15 minute movie. Should we render the sequences that make up the movie with the changes in audio, Import back into premiere that then piece them together with transitions to put out the final product, or should we, which I was thinking we could do is just use the sequences as they are and put them together? Or this why we are having so many problems? Sorry for the long explanation. I just wanted to be thorough. The editor is new to premiere, he used speed edit by Video Toaster for years. I have used After Effects for a few years now.

What do you mean by a better routine?
A better compression routine than H.264.
Is the quality better than H.264?
Yes.
Does this use an MOV wrapper?
Yes.
Also, would it import correctly into PPro?
Yes.
we would import files into PPro exported out of FCP and would get a red pixelated glitch during preview and export. Does this codec solve this problem as well if it is an MOV wrapper?
I don't know anything about FCP.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to get things right before diving into a new codec.
It's harmless, and free.
Download it and run some tests.
