Export to .avi Leaves Undrendered Frames?

I'm trying to Export a Sequence in QT Compression to .avi. But when I do it leaves a few frames unrendered. What am I doing wrong?

Before exporting, you must make sure you render all (opt-R) and mixdown audio (opt-cmd-R). This should not leave any frame unrendered.

Exporting as AVI 720x576 @ 25 frames per second

Hi, I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to export an iMovie 9 project as an AVI 720x576 @ 25 frames per second in the PAL format. When I click on the export as button I have a number of options but not this one. This is to be submitted to a TV station and they say that it must be in this format.
Thanks for any help that may be offered.

It can be done using the Share menu item in iMovie '09, but the AVI option doesn't appear to offer a size setting (as in 720 x 576). Follow these steps to at least get an AVI movie:
Share>Export using QuickTime>Movie to AVI>Options>Video-Settings>Frames per second: 25
I haven't tried this export method myself, so can't verify that it works - but at least it is a starting point.

Exporting to AVI too large

I'm trying to convert a Flash file to .MOV, then take it into QuickTime Pro and export it as an .AVI file so it will play on a Windows PowerPoint file. The exported .MOV is under 2MB, but when I export the .AVI file it either hoses or grows to 280+MB. I'm not sure what compression option I need to use, but most of them seem to strip the quality a bunch. Are there any resources you can recommend that I can read up on about this? Once the file leaves Flash I'm pretty much clueless .. I need it to be clear and small if possible.

David's answer is on the mark but a bit more confusing than it has to be.
Flash files use "objects" or "elements" that are reused during playback. They need only be created once to be used over and over again. The format is also "vector" based which simply means that they also need only be created once and then scale (based on the video playback) to the size the author wishes to use.
So. A bush or a shrub can be used over and over again in the playback (changing size or shape) without adding to the total file size.
It is the entire reason for creating using the Flash format. One object, used dozens of times, doesn't make the file any larger in file size. These objects can also be used at different video ratios (for want of a better word) because they are "vector" based. They enlarge or diminish in size based on the authors control of the object. They can also have "actions" (the bounce of a ball, for example).
When you convert these vector formats to "video" you must convert each stage as a "frame". Each image (at 30 frames per second) adds to the total file size and is now "fixed" as a pixel (dot) in an image.
So. Your .swf export now becomes a very large file size and is "fixed" (no longer scales to the screen). Ugly and large.
It's not a fault of the export once you know why (and how) it happens.

Problem exporting uncompress AVI

Problem exporting uncompress AVI. The output file will have in-between frames that appear like this:
Help!

Thanks for response! It's not the player's problem (it's mpc btw), I import it into Premiere for post editing and it's disaster to see the failed rendering.
Mmm need time/Everest to find out the system info. Generally render setting is just straightforward AVI lossless/best quality with no codec assigned.

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

Can't export 720p .AVI in Premiere CS6

I have a bunch of 720p videos that I'd like to export as .avi, but none of the codecs or presets availible allow for this. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Premiere CS6 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC

Let's take a closer look at this.
When you say "AVI" do you mean the old NTSC or PAL AVI that was used with the original DV cameras? If so, that codec can't handle the larger 1280X720 frame as Ann pointed out.
Why do you want to export to AVI? Because you always did in the past? Or is there another reason that would help us help you?
Is it just that you want an archive? Something you can edit again? There are ways to do that. Lagarith creates a fairly large file. Is hard drive space an issue? If not, then Lagarith is fine. There are other, more compressed codecs that you may or may not find acceptable.
My camera, for example, records an all I-Frame file at 72Mb/s and if I want to back it up, I merely export to the same all I-Frame format at the same data rate.
What does your camera record?
Once you tell us what the whole story is, we might be able to point you down the correct path.

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

@Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

Why is "Export Video" greyed out? I need to export an AVI (PP2.0)

Yes, I'm still on PP 2.0. I've never seen this until today where Premiere won't allow me to export my AVI with video as Microsoft DV AVI. It will if I switch it to Microsoft AVI. (See screen print image.)
I've re-booted, I've tried importing the settings that I had previously saved for times like this. Still nothing. When I open ANY project, now, I have the same issue. Any ideas?
I remember with an old version of Premiere when something quarky like this happened we'd have to delete the prefs and then re-open the project for the prefs to reset. Is there something like that for this?

Problem solved. In the past, I have actually had Video mistakenly uncheck and rendered out AVI's that were audio only. (I only work with DV AVI's, although it's entirely possible a setting got switched to the non-DV.) So this time I simply panicked when I saw it grayed out and don't ever remember it being like that. Hunt, you are right that even though it was grayed out, it was still checked, so I did a test movie and the video IS there. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try this sooner. I simply panicked. Thanks guys!

FCP 5 export to .AVI for Windows client? Advice needed!

I have a Windows platform client that wants my Exported FCP 5 Sequence in .AVI format.
Obviously, I normally always use Export to Quicktime Movie in FCP, and I do know that their is not a direct choice in FCP to export/convert as an .AVI file. (I usually hand off the FCP file to another facility that does DVD Studio Pro authoring work, and haven't had a need to make different file formats).
This has made me to ponder of few bits of info, that I'm sure I could get great ansers to, here.
My normal "workaround" for making an .AVI for a Windows user is to Export as Quicktime Movie in FCP, like normal, and then open that exported file in Quicktime Pro, and use Export Movie to AVI in Quicktime Pro. Is this the best method? Secondly, I am a little unsure as to the best settings I should use in QT Pro to achieve this. For example:
I just did a routine NTSC 48k,16 bit stereo, 30 second ad in FCP, and my normal, Export to Quicktime Movie was about 260 meg in size for the finished, self-contained movie file.
I opened this in QT-Pro and ran Export to AVI. In the settings dialog, I chose "uncompressed" for video and 48k-16 bit stereo for audio. The resulting export was about 680 meg in size! Because of file size restrictions for the clients product, what settings change or choice should I be making in QT-Pro to get an "equivalent" of the 260 meg file the FCP is exporting? Should I not get an equal file size of the QT-Pro AVI versus the FCP export (both 260 meg?).
If the answer is compression, what is the best settings in QT-Pro? Cinepak? Intel Indeo?
Perhaps, I have always misunderstood what FCP Export to Movie is giving me, but I thought that was uncompressed video? If so, why do I get the 260 meg out of FCP, and then 680 meg from QT-Pro Export to AVI (uncompressed) for the same 30 second clip? Is it simply a data rate difference?
Lastly, I have actually had a Windows user take a FCP Export to Movie file, straight from me, and they say it opened fine in Windows Media Player as is for viewing. However, there is no (dot) file extension name on the end of the filename. They can simply click File/Open in Windows Media Player and choose the "unrecognized" file because of no extension, and play it just fine to at least view the clip.
So what exactly is the file type that FCP is creating? It's not a .MOV and not an AVI file. What would be the equivalent file type association (just for my curiosity).
Thanks for any help to the above as I value the more-experienced users here.
Wade

Hi Wade,
Sorry for letting your post unanswered for two days, we were all busy (I know, it is not an excuse).
Seriously, I think the reason you are not getting answers is you have asked too many questions in one post. Don't know about others, but I get slightly confused.
Let me tell you what I do with FCP material when I send it to our sound department where they work with Nuendo on PCs. I export sequence using QT Conversion. My settings are: Format - AVI, Compression type - DV-PAL, Compressor quality - Best. I do not bother much about the sound. I sent the resulting file over network to a Maxtor FireWire external drive connected to a colleague's PC and then take the drive down to the sound guys. If the AVI file is smaller than 2 GB I can burn it to a DVD and a PC can open it, if it is larger, PCs cannot open. Also, the sound guys ask me not to use Cinepac, they do not like it. Therefore, I use DV-PAL; I guess you may safely use DV-NTSC but it depends on who will open the AVI file. Ask your client what it wants.
I think my routine is a bit more streamlined than yours - I export straight from FCP and do not bother with QT. You are wrong in saying that there is no direct way in FCP to export AVI.
Hope this is a starter for more answers. Also, have you tried searching the forum? I am sure all the answers are already there.

Stop flv when leaving a frame

i want to stop a video from playing,when leaving a frame
i tried to use SoundMixer.stopAll(); but it only stops the sound,
i think my video is still streaming in the background because im starting to notice performance problems when i go back and open the video again
the website gets very slow.
please help

I am sorry, my answer may be too late.
Anyway, I guess you have to stop streaming by calling close() method.
Have a look at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html#include ExamplesSummary
Then you can call stream.close() to stop it.
Or if you have a flvPlayBack component on stage then you have to call stop() on that.
For an example, if flvPlayBack component on stage has been named as "myVideoObj" then you have to call myVideoObj.stop();
Also may be you have to set
myVideoObj.autoPlay = false;
Good luck

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Listeners - Entering a Frame and leaving a Frame to Call a function

OK, I am trying to get the following functions to load and unload the video to my main timeline when I go in and out of a frame. I tried on Enter_FRAME but it is now working properly and load many instances.
What are the listeners I need to do to call the functions of oCoach when enetering a frame and fclickCV when leaving a frame? Many thanks in advance!
//========Scenario Movie===================
var pCoach:coach_mc = new coach_mc();
var spriteCoach:Sprite= new Sprite();
spriteCoach.x = 5;
spriteCoach.y = 30;
//----------open scenario---------
function oCoach(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
     stage.addChild(spriteCoach);
     spriteCoach.addChild(pCoach);
    pCoach.myVideo = myVideo1;
     pCoach.my_ns.play(myVideo1);
     coach_btn.visible = false;
//     pCoach.scenario_txt.htmlText = myScenario;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,oCoach);
//coach_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,oCoach);
function fclickCV(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
     coach_btn.visible = true;
     pCoach.my_ns.close();
     stage.removeChild(spriteCoach);
     pCoach.removeChild(videoVO);
     pCoach.clearInterval(loaded_interval);
pCoach.closeCoach_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);

enterframe and exitframe are loops. they aren't one time events like their names suggest.
to execute code upon entering a frame, attach the code to the frame or, better, create a function containing the code and call that function from the frame. to execute code upon exiting a frame, create an object that is removed from the display list when you exit the frame. you can then apply a removedfromstage listener to the object to call a function that will execute when exiting the frame.

No option to export as AVI?

Hi,
I am having problems with AME CS6 - having upgraded from 5.5. Initially running AME CS6 was a nightmare and it hung on loading the QuickTimeEncoder - the best fix for which was reply 15 (Seth) here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4540908 - thank you so much.
Now, however, I have no option to export as AVI - I had to completely reinstall and then overcome a "not activated" issue to get more export options than just H264 and FLV - once I did that and got a more comprehensive export list, it still omits AVI - has it been dropped as a standard? I doubt it, but I am at a loss - any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Ah, I had not made that connection. I have known export options like wmv from my mac in the past, but have recently switched to AME. For backwards compatibility, where windows can export dv, mov etc which are mac compatible, I feel the same should have been true for mac! For my colleagues with windows machines locked down by admin control who cannot install any decent encoders, I need to export as mpeg1 (yes 1 of all things) or avi for powerpoint purposes! At a bit of a loss now what to do to get my .mov files out to windows users with a limited system - them changing their system is not an option!

Is there an "export as AVI" file size duration limit?

I would have thought this question had already been addressed, but my choice of key-words didn't find any recent discussions.
I created a 5-minute movie (iPhoto stills w/ Ken Burns effects). Saved as H.264 encoded QT movie at 768x576 size, but it will be shown on a PC, and I'm uncertain as to whether I'll find the most recent version of QT (or, ANY version) on the PC. I noticed iMovie HD has an AVI export option under the expert settings, so I tried exporting an AVI version. Compression time was only a fraction of the H.264 compression (big "plus" as I'll be doing one of these a week), and the quality was excellent... so, what's the "but"? No matter what option combinations I try, only the first 30 seconds of my movie are exported (which explains the short compression time).
Since the H.264 version is under 400 MB, there's room for a copy of the QT for Windows installer on the CD, so I just need to arrive early enough in case I need to install QT (I'll want to transfer the movie to the PC's hard drive anyway), but I'm curious to know whether there is a known reason for this limitation, or whether I'm missing something obvious.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to Windows Media Player formats without additional software and expense.
I understand that, but when you're choosing an export option in iMovie (not explicitly in QT), one is not likely to make such an otherwise tangential association.
Can I infer (from your reference to QuickTime Pro) that the export to WMV option in iMovie would appear only when a QuickTime Pro license is present?
