Export to .mov leaving artifacts everywhere...

I have made a simple animation with music, 800ish frames, no actionscript, using CS4
When I export it as a Quicktime Mov it breaks up and leaves artifacts everywhere,
I read that the spec of your mac can affect the export but I'm working on a mac pro with 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad core Xeon and 16GB Ram so I very much doubt its that.
The only other forums I've seen (working) answers on are ones where you save the video and audio separately and rebuild it in after effects or something similar but I do not have that software (and surely you should'nt have to do all that).
I need to import the movie into iMovie to add to another piece of film.
Any Suggestions??
Thanks

I tried everything, including all the other sites threads on this subject. (there are many). Changing the frame rate (nope) - Setting "Stop Exporting" and enter a time rather than "When last Frame is Reached" (nope) - Change the frame rate of the entire movie (nope) - Changing quality (nope) - and countless other variations in the output settings. But finally, because I was working on several files at the same time, one file worked - and it was because there was a animation of a starburst that was animated across the entire movie. I believe this forces all frames to render, refreshing every frame. (Set "Keyframes to "All") So try adding a simple element like a starburst and animate (360 rotation in the center of  the frame) across the entire movie, you can hide it on a lower layer. This worked for me, nothing else did. It must have something to do with the way flash renders the tweens. Give it a shot! Good luck!

  • Export Quicktime Movie only exports fades and composites (FCP6)

    I'm trying to add a couple of lower thirds and a fade in and out to a live capture of a lecture; but for some reason, it's only exporting the effects - the fades and lower thirds. Everything else is skipped in the final QT movie.
    I right-click the sequence and say 'Export > QuickTime Movie', leaving the settings as they are. The exported movie is 1.45GB - around the same size as the imported movie - but it's only 29 seconds long. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on? I tried clicking 'recompress all frames' but I have two problems with this: (1) it's going to recompress unnecessarily, and (2) it's looking like that will take about two hours.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    FCP6. Right there in the question title. Version 6.0.6, if that's important.
    It was actually recorded off WireCast, with one camera and desktop streaming. Sequence settings are 720p square pixels, H.264 video.
    Export from the File Menu has the same effect.

  • Flash Quicktime Export leaves artifacts

    I have a simple frame per frame based animation of graphical objects with audio. When I export it as Quicktime Movie I always get artifacts from moving objects left behind. For example a simple blue circle on white ground, leaves parts of the circle behind and parts of the background inside the circle.
    I have tried every possible option (compressed as Animation, H264, uncompressed, double framerate etc.) in Flash Mac CS4 and its always the same problem. Now I thought this bug would be fixed in Mac CS5 or CS 5.5 but no, its still the same.
    Anyone else having that problem?

    Alright so I figured out what happens. I currently work with the CS5 version of flash and when you go to export a movie using quicktime, quicktime has settings like this:
    click the quick time settings button and you get this:
    you may want to change the size for whatever purpose, but that's not what causes a problem. You want to click the settings option to get this:
    Alright here is the technical part of the explanation: These are Quicktime's Settings, NOT Flash CS5's. If your frame rate doesn't match the frame rate for the motion part of this window you can/will have artifacts in your video in quicktime. This is NOT a bug. It makes sense that your video may have artifacts because it is glitching with the difference in frame rate. I know this is super hard to figure out what happened, but it works. All you have to do is change these settings to match your frame rate, or you can change your initial frame rate in the original animation in Flash.

  • Error exporting long movie in Premiere Elements 4

    I just finished editing a movie in Premiere Elements 4.  Every time I try to export the movie, it begins rendering, gets as far as about 15%, and then says "Export Error: Error compiling movie.  Unknown error."  This happens no matter what format I choose.
    I've read that this problem can be caused by titles and transitions, of which this movie has both.  But I think the problem is entirely due to the movie's length, which is six minutes and fifty-five seconds.  I say this because if I split the movie into 25-to-50-second chunks, leaving all titles and transitions intact, all the chunks export with no problems whatsoever.
    I'm not running any other programs while the movie exports, but that doesn't help.
    The source files are MOV (and one PNG), and the resolution is 1920x1080.  I want to export it at the same resolution, otherwise what was the point of shooting in that resolution?  I'm running Windows Vista on a Samsung R522 laptop, if it helps.
    For what it's worth, I did manage to successfully export the audio portion of the movie as a WAV file.
    What can I do?  My movie is due to premiere at a local arts festival in a few weeks, so I need to sort this out.  I read somewhere that the ideal setup is to have three drives -- one for the source videos, one for running the program, and one to export the file onto.  Will that help?
    Many thanks for any suggestions you may have.
    -Grant

    Thanks Bill -- and thank you mods for moving the thread.  I couldn't find an Elements forum so I assumed there wasn't one.
    Actually, the progress bar in my version does tell you what frame it's on.  When I tried to export it just now, it gave up around frame 2328 of 12447.  Frame 2328 would be 01:17:18... which is the middle of a clip, with no titles, no effects, and no transitions, just ordinary video and sound.  30%, the number you suggested, gives frame 3738, which is 02:04:18, which is a different clip but the same deal.
    The exact number varies from attempt to attempt anyway, which is why I think it's a "system memory" problem rather than a problem with a certain moment in the film.  As I said, each part of the film exported fine on its own.
    The videos are all MOV format, 1920x1080, ranging in size from 40 MB to 666 MB (maybe the devil is trying to stop me from exporting).  There are 41 of them, giving a total of 11.9 GB.  The single PNG is also 1920x1080 and 6.02 KB.  The movie's audio is actually muted -- the audio that I successfully exported before was just the original audio from the raw clips.
    I've got 55.3 GB of free space on my C drive and 580 GB of free space on my external drive; Premiere won't successfully export onto either of them.
    Thanks for the link to the KB article, but I'd read it before and it didn't really help.  As it says, "unknown error" really does mean just that.  And it's clear that none of my clips or effects are problematic since they all exported fine when split into chunks.
    I really do appreciate your help!  I don't know too much about computers so if I didn't give you the information you were looking for please let me know.
    Thanks so much,
    -Grant

  • Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

    Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
    Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

    +"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
    In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
    I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
    But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
    I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
    At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
    Andy Neil,
    I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.

  • Trying to export a movie compressed with H.264 out of AE

    I am having some issues with exporting a movie compressed with H.264. I am using AE CS3. When I output with the settings of this image:
    http://intuitionusa.com/ae.gif
    I get an error message that is below in the image.  I have to leave Quicktime in the top settings in the output module and then select H.264 in the format button.  It allows me to render out, but a message appears saying it is better to select H.264 from the "format" dialog box.
    * Also, when I export out to H.264 the file size is much larger than just using quicktime pro.  I think it might be better to export an uncompressed file from AE and then use QT pro to compress but that is going to use up a lot of disc space.
    SHoutzager

    You're probably getting that error because of a frame size/codec conflict.
    Your comp is 900x600, and the MainConcept codec is looking for a frame size of 720x480 (NTSC DV).
    Using the Quicktime wrapper to export the H.264 is a fine optioin, however, AE will not do as good of a job compressing to that codec as Quicktime Pro, or a dedicated compression application would do. AE can only cache a limited number of frames for the compression process (frames before and after the current frame), and as a result, the compression quality and filesize will not be as small as they could be by using a different tool for the job.
    As such, your supposition about rendering out an uncompressed/losslessly compressed movie and then running it through QT Pro (or another compression application) yielding superior results was a correct one.

  • How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

    Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

    I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
    Apple describes ProRes here:
    About Apple ProRes
    And in that document says:
       "while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
    I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import,  the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

  • How do I export a Movie to Quicktime? And do I need to?

    Hello, how do I export a Movie in iMovie 11 to Quicktime, when the option is not listed?
    I have created some short videos with Lavelier Line6 mic, which apparently records your voice in stereo on one track, I am told (although I can't see stereo tracks anywhere within iMovie project, it looks like one track below the picture - but then I wouldn't know what to look for as I'm new to this!).
    I need to, I am told, export the final movie to Quicktime, in order to create a mono track rather than stereo.  I can't see how to do this, as Quicktime is not an option in my Share menu (facebook etc is there, but not Quicktime).
    Could someone advise me whether I need to do this at all?  Is a movie soundtrack automatically converted to mono if there is only one track?
    (Also, there is a small amount of hiss in the recording, which I have removed with background noise reduction, but could that hiss come from the unused track, does anyone know?  And if so, what is the best way to get rid of that track?  Of course, it may not be that at all!   I don't really want to get into complicated removal of audio tracks into other software and then readding to the picture, if I can avoid it.)
    Thanks for any advice you can give.  Fran x

    Use "Share to File".

  • FCP 7 Export Quicktime Movie Suddenly Stopped working

    I use FCP7 on Mavericks 10.9.2. Working in Final Cut with raw ProRes 422 footage and wanting to export my sequence as Export Quicktime Movie. Worked fine until one day it just didn't. Final Cut exports a QT file that QT opens and immediately attempts (and fail) to convert. Then I get a message that QT cannot recognize file type, even though file is a .mov.
    I send the file to the VLC media player, and it opens the file but only plays the audio. I have no idea why any of this is happening.
    Using "Export Using Quicktime Conversion" I can still get the uncompressed ProRes 422 sequence out of Final Cut, but that's a pain. I want Command-E back. Any ideas?

    If you love FCP7, you don't move UP to FPX - you move over to a new set of operational activities, a new vocabulary and a new media management structure. Notice the word "new" as in different, not "updated" as in a faster version of the same system.
    If you want a 64 bit version of FCP7, look into Premiere Pro CC.

  • FCP "Export - QuickTime Movie" gamma shift

    Above is an example of what happens when I do a direct export in Final Cut Pro, using the Export -> QuickTime Movie function.  As you can see, the image is significantly brighter and the colors are a little more washed out (this image isn't particularly colorful, but trust me, it washes them out).  I always thought the Export -> QuickTime Movie meant the image would not be compressed--that it was a straight export using the sequence settings. 
    The image you see above was shot natively in ProRes 422 (HQ) using an Arriflex Alexa.  It has never been transcoded.  The bottom image is what it looks like using Export -> QuickTime Movie.  Totally unacceptable for a piece of professional software, if you ask me. 
    I can't express how infuriating this is, to have everything looking perfect in FCP and then exporting only to have it look like garbage.  I've been able to play with gamma correction a bit and have gotten it PRETTY close to the original look, but this seems like a horrible workaround.   
    Anyone else know why this is happening?  Is there a fix for this? 
    I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 10.1.

    Sure thing, Meg. 
    Here's a source clip with "approximate" gamma correction:
    "Approximate" gamma correction makes the image look flatter within Final Cut Pro than it actually is.
    Now, the very same clip and frame, but with gamma set to "Accurate" :
    Now, things are switched.  The exported image looks flatter than the source clip within FCP. 
    Here's another tidbit of info--the frame from my first post was professionally color graded and exported as a self-contained movie--so there were no filters, FCP or otherwise, being applied there.  But the difference is just night-and-day to me. 

  • How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

    I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...
