Export to QT question

So it seems from a variety of posts that Compressor 2 will at least run faster if you export from FCP 5 to a QT (either referenced or self contained). Leaving aside the size and quality issues (I've had a few compression problems like jerkiness and blockiness), how does one maintain chapter markers in an exported QT, so when you import into DVDSP your markers remain intact? I haven't dug into the manuals too much, but can a QT movie have markers that DVDSP will recognize as chapters?

Unfortunately, when you export compression markers they are apparently not used by Apple's Compressor utility...
I've got to correct myself here. I've looked into this issue with more care and I've found that the compression markers do affect the behavior of Compressor 2.0 (and I suspect 1.2.X).
Thus, when I manually add compression markers in FCP and export as a QuickTime movie those markers do cause Compressor to insert I-frames at the correct locations in the MPEG2 stream.
Also, for anyone who may be having additional questions or problems with compression markers in their exported FCP sequences I offer the following note:

  • Export a Captivate question pool

    Is there a way to export a Captivate question pool in an xml format, perhaps make a GIFT file or QTI format?

    Even if you could export them, you could not edit them. In
    other words, Adobe Captivate does not have a way to import
    questions that are not written in Captivate (you can't just type
    them in Word for example). In Captivate 4 you can make questons and
    question pools and import them, but the author needs to do that in
    Captivate 4
    One solution is to have Captivate 4 for each developer and
    that would simplify your work.
    Another solution woul be to design a Word DOC file that has a
    picture of the Question Style and then a place to type the Question
    and Answers for that style. The Captivate developer could then copy
    and paste the text into the question slides. If you run dual
    monitors, this is easy to do and it goes quickly.

  • IMovie 6 HD - Export Movie Size Question

    There is a confusing list of movie export size options that I need to get your clarification about. Some of the selections seem to be similar.
    To see what I am referring to go into iMovie HD 6, under the SHARE menu, go to Save Movie For: Expert Settings Export Settings > Select Movie to QuickTime Movie (then hit the options tab to the right > Under the Video Section, select SIZE - note the Export Size Settings - DImensions drop down list. Note there are two sections. The last two items in the top section listed are (exactly worded as) 1280 x 720 HD and 1920 X 1080 HD. In the bottom section the last three entries are HD 1280 x 720 16:9, HD 1440 x 1080 16:9 and HD 1920 x 1080 16:9. What's the difference, for example, between the 1280 x 780 HD and the bottom one HD 1280 x 780 16:9? I ask because my HD camcorder movie footage (shot at 1080i, 29.97, 16:9) with an HV30 exports smooth at 1280x720 HD but jerky at HD 1280 x 780 16:9. They sound the same, but one is jerky and one smooth.
    The other question I have is 1440x1040 is 4:3 ratio. But it exports at 16:9 aspect ratio. I don't understand why.

    Donna:
    While I have a lot of video editing experience with an SD digital camcorder, the Canon HV30 HDV cam is new to me. So I am experimenting. That said, footage that will be shot will end up in a couple of places. Some of it will be passed onto my company's web master for posting to the web in some kind of Flash video format. Other video will be used in Keynote presentations as full screen video clips. Others will be used as source video for creating 4x3 SD clips for PowerPoint on a PC by others. So, the video will be used in different formats. (In what format to shoot is another question, but I have concluded (I hope correctly) that I should just shoot HDV 1080i since it seems to be the easiest to deal with for uploading to iMovie6 HD.)
    The purpose of my inquiry was to determine what the various selections are used for and what they do. Sometimes the video is jerky, sometimes an identical movie size is smooth (but must be rendered or processed differently). I was only trying to determine why there appeared to be repetative choices in the list of movie sizes as I mentioned in my original post. To be blunt, iMovie 6 HD documentation is spotty at best. The O"Reilly books don't cover the hard parts.

  • First Video Export to DVD Question

    Hi - I have my first ever video export from Premiere to a DVD and I'm a little nervous about it.  My footage will be shot with the Panasonic ACHD (I think that's the model as I don't have the camera with me here) and the camera is set for 1280 x 720 at 24 FPS.
    I was looking through the export settings in Premiere CS4 and found the MPEG-DVD and MPEG Blue Ray settings.  When I select MPEG-DVD, I notice that two vertical bars are in each end of the output; when I select MPEG Blue Ray, there's a setting in there that makes those bars go away and the picture fits the dimensions perfectly, so it looks like I can use those settings.
    My question is - after I export this file, how do I actually get it on the DVD disk?  Should I export it like above and then use Adobe Encore to burn the disk?  Or is there some other method?
    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    Your original file is HiDef, a DVD is Standard Def at 720x480 so you will see a difference from original to DVD
    You may not use BluRay files on a DVD... see above
    You use PPro for editing, Encore for authoring... reading below

  • Newbie export and import question

    Here's the next part. I have a system with roughly 3+ billion records.
    My design is to convert the data in the company's db to ours. The db is still in production so my thinking was to export a day's worth of data using Oracle's exprt functionality. Export takes parameters so I can give it psuedo code like export... where date = yyyy/mm/dd.
    On the oracle export faq it says it may not work well with large data sets. On daily average could Oracle export 3M records and import it into another table?
    It's on this table I'd put the sequence - from thread Sequence question, need to prefix the sequence with a 4 digit incrementing
    Thanks

    Sounds like the worst possible solution but then you provided no information as to version numbers, latency, number of tables, transaction size, partitioning, or number of tablespaces.
    Assuming a currently supported version of the product why not?
    1. Transportable tablespaces
    2. Streams
    3. DataPump
    4. External tables
    Export/Import is deprecated technology. It should be the option of last resort.

  • Exporting Frames Second Question

    Premiere Pro is really starting to piss me off. I have everything set to export to 720x480, yet the exported frames come out 1260x720 in prefect quality or 720x460 in crappy quailty it will not export the frame correctly. I never had this problem with 6.5, hell i haven't had half the problems when I wanted to do something simple.
    So here is the question if it isn't obvious. WHY WONT IT EXPORT IN FULL QUALITY AT THE SPECIFIED SIZE?

    ok I also figured something else out, the still images aren't getting the same board around them, that video file does which is probably cause 80% of my issue. Why its expanding or cropping the still images to meet the frame size with the stills and not with the video I probably wont ever figure out. And if i scale the stills to match the video it distorts so im going to have to add a few extra hours to my time and just clip frame cut the images i need.

  • AVCHD in Premiere Pro CS 5 - exporting file type questions

    Firstly, this is my first post on here, so apologies if I'm breaking any kind of etiquette. Also, I'm not a very technical person and would appreciate any comments or advice to be in layman's terms!
    So, I film and edit weddings as part of a small company. I've recently had my camera and editing system upgraded to a Sony NXcam and Premiere Pro CS5 and I'm having a little trouble getting used to the new file types and settings (previously used miniDV tapes in SD with a Canon XL2 in an older version of Premiere).
    My pc handles the AVCHD footage fine but the way that I edit means that I'll want to export a sequence of edited clips as one long clip, and then re-import it. For example, I'm editing the wedding ceremony from footage from two cameras - I'm going to edit the full version of the ceremony and then I'm also going to edit it down into a version that is a highlights montage in slo-motion to music. The way I do this is once I'm happy with the full version of the ceremony I'll export it and then re-import it so it's one long clip I can play with rather than two sets of footage chopped up on a sequence. So I can alter the speed of this new long clip, and then chop it up and stick in some dissolves to put together the montage. Then I use this montage in the middle of my final film, between the preparations and the reception. The full, edited version of the ceremony is used as an extra on the DVD.
    Previously this was fairly straight forward. I was always working with footage in 16:9 and could export it as an avi file, then re-import that avi file with no problems - presto; the exact same-looking footage as I was previously working with.
    Now I'm editing with avchd mts footage (1920x1080 - 25p - square pixels?). Naturally, if I export it as a 16:9 avi and re-import it, the aspect ratio and frame size is all wrong for the project sequence.
    I just want to know what the best file format and settings are to use to export footage that will match up.  There is no option that I can see to export edited footage as mts files. There is a long list of file types, most of which I don't recognise or know anything about and have never needed to use in the past.
    Sorry if this is a silly question, I've tried searching for "working with AVCHD in premiere pro cs5" in google and not been able to find anything that can help me on there, so I thought I'd try a forum like this.
    Cheers
    Adam

    I think we may have a slight miscommunication.  This is the way that I interpreted your original post.
    Lets say you shot the Smith/Jones wedding this past weekend.  You start a new project and have a Service Sequence and a Reception Sequence.  You finish editing both the service and reception and just a standard full length video.  Now you want to create a montage with clips from both the service and reception.  In this montage you will have different effects like Black and white, Slo Mo, blurs, etc.  So what you do is export the service and reception and then import those two files (or one long one) and then cut that apart and add your music and effects to make your montage.  Is that correct?
    The way that I do it works the exact same way except that you skip the export part.
    When I edit a wedding I generally have 4 sequences when I am finished.  I have a Pre Wedding montage, service, reception, and ending highlights.  The Pre Wedding montage is just made up of shots from before the service (bride and bridesmaids getting ready, shots of the venu, groom and groomsmen and so on).  Then I have a full edit of the service and a full edit of the reception.  After I am finished with those 3 sequences I start working on the ending highlight collage.  I make a new sequence for the collage then I go to my bin and drag the "Service Sequence" up into the preview monitor (I know in my previous post I said double click.  That does not work, because that just opens it up as a sequence.  Sorry about that).  In the preview monitor I scrub through the footage until I find a section that I want in the montage.  Then I set in and out points around that clip and drop it into my Montage timline, and what ever effects to it that I want, then move on to the next clip and do the same thing.  To me it seems that we have the same process except that you have to wait for the export (which is always going to give you a quality loss, how much of a loss depends on format and settings).
    Please let me know if I have misread your process.

  • Export catalog problem/question involving previews.

    I just returned from a month long trip with a laptop and external drive containing 280gb (~11000 raw files) of photos which are in the same directory layout as my desktop (year/date -- e.g. root/Photos/2012/2012-12-01).  For speed reasons the catalog and previews are on the laptop's C: internal drive which is an SSD. Some of these photos have already been edited, and about half of them have * ratings. All of them have at least a few keywords assigned. I want to finish the selection and editing on my much faster desktop with better monitors.
    My aim is to get the remote catalog into the desktop's catalog (on its SSD E: drive) and the raw files onto my big drive with all my other photos without losing any of my work. And then wipe the portable drive so it is ready for the next trip.  The plan was to
    1. Export the catalog and previews only.
    2. Import that into the desktop.
    3. Drag/drop the the raw files into the main photo drive (and manually reconnect each day if needed). 
    ---The message I got with the export is: "Lightroom was able to export some of the photos to the new catalog, but encountered these problems."   "Photo previews could not be found (4446)" ...and then it lists the raw names in expandable groups of 100. These photos do not appear to have anything in common but there are so many of them it is hard to tell.
    So I have a couple of questions:  What does this error mean?  Are the previews in any way necessary to preserve my work? (as I understand it the previews are expendable and would just be rebuilt, and if this is the case, it is not a problem.  But that's only what I have read from various online sources). The way I read this message, it is only a minor inconvenience but that is based on the assumption the previews are expendable and the catalog is what is important.  What concerns me is the wording:
    "Lightroom was able to export some of the photos" --which leads me to think the previews are not expendable.
    If this were just a few dozen photos I would experiment, but I dont want to mess up my main catalog with thousands of potential errors!  I am running 4.4 on both machines.  Thank you in advance for any insight or advice!

    To answer your original question: You have probably ticked "Include available previews" when you did the Export as Catalog.
    But not all previews were available, hence the error message.
    I did not test if this affects the entire export of the catalog entry pertaining to the image in question.
    But as you correctly stated: previews can be built by each computer running LR again, independantly. It just takes some time. But then so does the transfer of the quite substantial preview data (depending on size specified).
    So I would not bother transferring previews, just leave it unticked. Then no such error messages would occur.
    Your description no 1. would now be: export the catalog (i.e. the .lrcat file only, assuming you do 3. separately and have "Export negative file" unticked).
    But if your travel-laptop did get a new catalog just for the trip, there would be no need to export anything.
    Then you just plug your laptop accessible for your desktop, open your master catalog on the desktop and do an "Import from Another Catalog" from the complete travel-catalog.
    Have your external-travel-HD plugged, then move the folders inside LR from travel-HD to your big disk.
    Saves you reconnecting each folder.

  • Export as PDF question

    Hello guys,
    I have just created business card. It is created in Photoshop, using 300 dpi and CMYK setting.
    My printshop requires PDF file, so I hit save as PDF, but it asks me more questions about additional export setting and I am not
    sure which to choose so I would end up with the best possible quality.
    Here are the choices to choose from:
    Encoding - ZIP or JPEG ? 
    Image interpolation - checked or unchecked ? 
    Include Vector Data - checked or unchecked ? 
    Could you please give me an idea, what choices to make so I would obtain the best possible picture quality PDF?
    Thank you so much for any advise.
    Paul

    Well as a prepress tech I can tell you 99% of the time the PDF/X settings are printer settings. That is what it is there for. Takes all the guess work out of it. Do one in PDF/X3 and one in PDF/X4 (if you have it, it is new). Let your printer decide; that will depend on their capabilities.
    ZIP and JPEG are forms of compression. Neither is needed for printing, it just makes the file smaller for sending. Zip is lossless and the best quality, JPEG looses quality but you get to decide how much to make the file size smaller. Choose none if file size is not an issue.
    Image interpolation has to do with color management and if you do not know what you are doing leave it at the default. If you do, check with your printer first.
    Printers rasterize all vector data in the ripping process. You can choose to do that before in the creation of your PDF if you do not want to leave it to your printers rip.
    These are all decisions having to do with the type of work you do and the confidence you have in your printer.

  • Exporting for Archival Question

    I want to export from iMovie in the highest quality format for archival on a Western Digital external 1TB firewire drive. I have captured my video from an analog camcorder through a Canopus ADVC110.
    My questions are:
    1. Which format is the highest quality (regardless of size restrictions)?
    2. Which settings under 'options' within this format do I need to choose?

    1. Which format is the highest quality (regardless of size restrictions)?
    DV, AIC, and H.264 with an unlimited video data rate , and Apple Animation all produce high quality files. (I tend to prefer the Animatio codec since it seems to render truer "blacks" and more saturated colors but at its fullest quality data rate setting its data rate can exceed the capabilities of my older PPC G5 to handle it.) If interested, here is a link to a file containing a motion comparison of DV, Animation, AIC, and unlimited H.264 in a single player. You can step through the short clip to compare the rendering of the various codecs on a frame-by-frame basis to see if you prefer one over any of the others. Be advised that this is literally four movies in one container and is relatively large file for its rater short duration. (I.e., it take a long time to cache or download.) SAMPE COMPARISON MOVIE FILE
    WARNING: You should also be advised that if you archives are to be re-imported to iMovie '08, the Apple Animation compression format it totally unsuitable for this purpose since it currently will not re-export from an iMovie '08 project.
    2. Which settings under 'options' within this format do I need to choose?
    I prefer AIFF ("Big Endian" linear PCM for audio. Since video data rate are either unlimited, pre-set, or tied to the quality setting, about the only thing you can change is the display size, whether it is output as an interlaced or progressive file, the frame rate (which should never be changed if it can be avoided), Key framing (which is usually a personal preference but you may want all Intraframes here), and color depth if offered (I usually prefer full where possible). These are areas where there are bound to be differences in opinions as to what "best" settings actually means so I normally advise users to experiment a bit to determine what looks "best" to them.

  • Exporting a version question

    Maybe I just don't understand Aperture yet but I have a question. When I export a version (and choose jpg) is it converting it from RAW to jpg for me or do I have to export the master and convert it in Photoshop's RAW converter? The reason I ask is because I like to fix my master in Aperture and then export it to PS to make a few more aditional changes. I don't want to lose my master RAW quality.
    Does that make sense?
    Any clarification would be a great help.
    thanks

  • Portal Import/Export problems and questions

    I recently tried to promote our dev stuff to the prod using both the exp/imp scripts (following the Imp/Exp whitepaper) and the built-in application export. The first time went without a hitch; however, after a few report updates in dev, I tried it again, and now I can't even get the Welcome page to appear. (Yes, I did import that page). The page finishes loading but nothing shows up on screen. I can login in to the change the DADs but nill to Portal. Any ideas how to even get in to see if the stuff imported?
    Along those lines, after searching through these threads, and reading the documentation, I get the general feel that imp/exp are not at 100%. So what would be the procedure to do production promotions? Do I have to delete stuff (apps & pages) on the PROD server, and then import? If so what (apps?, security?, login server?) do I delete?

    Thanks for the post Indira. Here are the answers to the questions.

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>What kind of portlets are in the page that you had imported?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    I imported one application (with a combination of Reports, Forms, Dyn Pages, and LOV's), 7 pages with portlets based on all those components in tabbed interfaces on each page. For example, each page has 4 tabs with one portlet (running one of the reports) on each tab.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>Are you able to get to the pages that you imported, through the Navigator. Can you edit/customize the page?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Well this is funny, since I couldn't get to anything, I thought I was a goner since I couldn't log in to get to the main page and fix all this, not to mention to see if the app imported at all. So, I went to my DEV box, found out what the page_id was for the out-of-the-box default page, typed it into the URL and I got the Login link. I logged in and I can see that the app imported. I can also see the pages, but with no portlets. When I try to add portlets, I get USER DEFINED ERRORS galore. So I have to recreate the pages from scratch (not a very good thing to be doing in PROD)
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>Try creating another page in your new prod instance and making that your default home page. Please can you check if that is working.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    As I mentioned above, this is basically what I had to do. I did another promotion last night, and since the pages are what I thought the trouble was, I didn't import them. I just imported sso, sec, and the app. To my dismay, the same thing happened. I call portal home and I get a blank screen (empty HTML tags). So there I was, well into the night, creating pages in PROD so that we could have a site to show today.
    Since someone else gave me the CD to install, I wasn't aware of the version I had and its bugs/issues. I have started the process of upgrading versions, but would like to get a solid idea of whats going with promotions before I do.

  • Exporting for Broadcast Question

    Hello Folks,
    Very simple question that I cannot seem to find sifting through the forums. We helped film some interviews for a broadcast station. They have requested that we send them digital files in .MOV format and .AVI format.
    The .MOV is of course no problem. It is the .AVI that is a problem. I know and have done the Quicktime Conversion to AVI and the process for Compressor to AVI as well. Multiple tests have not given me the results I need. The issue is the resolution and quality.
    The original files are off of a Sony XDCAM EX. They are 1080p at 30 fps (29.97). The image of course looks stunning and I was able to keep that quality with the .MOV
    It drops down the resolution size and the quality deteriorates substantially in the AVI format and that after I change settings as high as they can go, which I guess is not that high.
    So the question is this: Is there a way to export high resolution (1080 HD) AVI files from FCP or is there a third party software that will do this on Mac. I am fully aware that this may not be possible and I will not keep pressing for an answer when there may not be one. I am just trying to accommodate what we were asked for. So if someone could just tell me either yes and the solution or a no, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time folks.

    I would send them the .MOV files. If they can't play them, that's when you start dealing with .AVIs. A good quality AVI is next to impossible to get on a Mac. I think Microsoft has crippled the codec for Mac.
    So if they don't like the MOV files, then take them to a PC and convert to AVI.

  • DRM/MDM Import and Export File types - Question

    Hi Guys,
    We have been implementing Hyperion DRM to our existing Oracle Environment for managing the company's sales data which comes from multiple data sources. In my experience and research, I feel DRM is an excellent tool but there are some questions I have in our mind. The following are the few questions that I\we have.
    a) How does the Import and Export of data functionality works in DRM? In this forum, I have found some one saying we can only import the data through flat files, in other words, "text file" with the delimiters [ ] seperated by comma. My question is, Is there any other possible way to import the data, Such as getting the data directly from the database tables? To get the data, Do we need to have any integration points or do we need to use SOAP APIs (& programming)?
    b) While we exporting the data, can we export it directly to the Oracle database tables? What are the integration points needed for this kind of export?
    c) Is there any sample guide or design document available for creating the hierarchy and nodes. I just want to know how the attributes that we have "is transformed" into the hierarchies and nodes in DRM? In the past, I used Essbase, which is integrated with DRM and that process was straight forward since we imported and exported data directly from DRM to Essbase.
    I would appreciate any suggestion offered to me regarding the questions posted above.
    Thanks in advance,
    Leo

    Hi,
    1.As per my knowledge the Import can be done using Flat files only,we can import the data from Oracle Tables once the structure is ready in DRM.
    2.We have an utility called Export to Table(in the last tab when you performing an Export along with Export to File), which requires the DB mapping to be done properly,
    Thanks!
