Export to Quicktime creates additional video frames!!Help!!

I am using FCP 6.0.6 and following problem happens for the first time:
I am trying to export a quicktime file from a 45 sec. trailer video. It is all rendered and when viewing the video from the timeline in the canvas, everything is correct as i cut it. But in the exported quicktime file there are additional frames that appear and are not supposed to be there. (a couple frames of video before and/or after the cut appear)
there isn't even a fade between those clips with the additional frames, just normal cuts....
I am not a pro in FCP but I edited several short films on it and such an export glitch never happened before. Any suggestions how to fix that please?
Thank you.

Set the Canvas to 100% and step through the video and see if there are any extra frames.

Export to Quicktime movie continued crashes. HELP

I have sequence, it renders no problem. Whenever I go to export to Quicktime movie it crashes. I have gone and deleted all files associated with it and redone the sequence from scratch, and I keep getting the same results. Crash while exporting. I am working in DV, so all I do at export is export to Quicktime movie, which means it should be exporting as a DV movie. I am not sure what is wrong please help.
As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,

I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

Step 1 - how does one create a video track in FCP X?

Just purchased FCP X & wow ... sparing all the rants I've been hearing, I'm sure it can do what I'm looking for, just that all the features are now hidden from view.
Step 1 - anyone know how to create additional video tracks?

Tried that & a Pandora's box of other questions opened up. Doing some research, watching videos, etc... just need to scrap most/all knowledge of previous FCP versions & start from scratch with this new interface philosophy it would seem.
One other symptom that seems disturbing: sometimes activiating a feature does not activate a feature.
Example, I wanted to silence the audio while skimming, so unchecked "audio skimming" in the view menu.
Audio still plays while skimming.
Decided to try unchecking all four options at the bottom of the view menu (skimming, clip skimming, audio skimming, snapping).
Nothing changed.
I can still skim clips, and audio still plays.
Why would this happen?

Export a Quicktime puts audio out of sync.

Hi
I've just cut some footage capture on my iPhone.
When I export the quicktime the audio is out of sync. When I play the final cut timeline it's fine.
Any suggestions please?

Hi - Do you want the detailed explanation or the quickest solution?
If the quickest solution:
Click anywhere on your timeline.
Type Command + 0 (zero) to bring up your sequence settings.
When it opens change
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSettingH264.jpg!
to this:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/SeqSetting422LT.jpg!
and click OK.
When you have done that a red render bar will appear over your sequence, click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + A and the type Command + R to render it all.
Now export your Quicktime movie.
Hope this helps. If you want the detailed explanation post back.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Exporting to QuickTime difficulties (PLEASE HELP)

I would like to start off by saying that Keynote 08 is an amazing presentation tool. I would like to convert the presentation that I have created and put it on a CD since all the transitions and the build in's and out's are set automatically. The presentation is currently set to a slide size of 1680 x 1050 and consist of 25 slides with about 17 them with full screen video playing. I have exported to QuickTime on numerous of times but for some reason or another it just doesn't export it with the full quality. Quicktime at times will get stuck as it is doing the presentation and it doesn't always follow the background music I have set. Sometimes it will finish before the song and sometimes the presentation will finish and the song will be interrupted by being cut short. When I export I'm currently using the manual advances and the Full Quality Large format. I only checked off the "include the slideshow soundtrack" option but like I said, the soundtrack doesn't completely always follow the presentation. PLEASE HELP! This is my company presentation and I have received a lot of positive feedback but I want to take it to the next level by making them in a DVD. Again, PLEASE HELP!

Had the same problems as Albert8119. My presentation had five slides of varying length, each with multiple builds, also of varying length. Had a music presentation in the background of the presentation, together with individual voice-overs to each slide. As a Keynote presentation it was fine; so much so that the client asked for both QT movie and iDVD copies on disk. Exporting to either proved to be an absurdly complex task (it should be easy!) as timing in builds and transitions went awry. Eventually, after much experimentation, I found that lengthening the builds (often by several seconds) resulted in excellent QT movie and IDVD. It is a pity that such an excellent presentation program (leaving Powerpoint for dead) should come up short at that point. Apple can do better than that. Next time I'll try King_Leo's solution.

Cannot export to Quicktime anymore. Please help.

Hi all,
I did some maintenance on my computer recently and now I can no longer export to Quicktime format. The maintenance involved deleting old footage plus a bunch of "Media Cache Files," which were taking up nearly 90 gigs of space. 90 gigs! I guess over the years it built up! This was the first time I ever messed with these files, in fact I didn't even know they existed until recently. I found them within the following file structure:
AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Common > Media Cache Files
I did some research before deleting them and everything I read said it was ok to do so, but ever since I haven't been able to export to QT in Premiere Pro or After Effects. Premiere gives me the error message, " Unable to create or open output file." I reinstalled QT, but that didn't help.
I normally don't export to Quicktime format unless I'm doing some animation projects in After Effects, which is what I'm working on now.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I've tried changing the export destination, but that doesn't help, and I don't have a problem exporting to other formats.
I've never tried using AME as a convertor. I'm not sure that's the ultimate solution to my problem, but I'm curious enough to give it a try. How would I do that?

IMovies - Export Using Quicktime - can't find the finished file - help please!

Please help. I exported several imovies projects to a designated file on my mac, using Share - Export using Quicktime and then I uploaded them to Youtube.
I did this successfully several times, now when I export a project, it takes about 45 minutes to export it, then I can't find them anymore.
I have read several threads, which suggest looking in the iMovie projects folder and locate your project Right-click to get to "show package contents" and they are not there.
It looks as if it goes through successfully, no errors but this is so annoying as I am wasting hours sharing and then can't find it. Please help anyone.
Thanks

Hi Gee
I originally spent about 10 hours uploading 3 clips directly from imovies to Youtube to a private channel and they couldn't find any signs of my 3 uploads. So I read threads that said export to Quicktime from imovies and then load them to Youtube that way. I did that for 3 short, 10 minute videos and it worked fine. It changed the thread to .mov and it worked.
Then perhaps I changed something (not sure what) but now when I use Export to Quicktime, it spends 1 hour or so doing the motions and completes but when I go to the allocated folder to retrieve it. It can't be found. I read threads and this seems to be a regular occurrence but I haven't read any replies that has solved this issue.
Hope that's clearer.

Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

Thank you so much for replying.
I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
Let me know any suggestions.
Thank you

Export as quicktime no video compressor

Hi,
I use Keynote almost everyday and I'm so far very impressed with the new features in Keynote '09. One major issue I have is that when exporting from within Keynote via Share, Export as a quicktime movie the video compressor is missing at the bottom of the pop-up which shows export type, size etc... Any quicktime movie I export is then not playing seemingly as a result of this.
In Keynote '08 this was shown as H264.
This is a major show stopper for me I'm hoping one of you experts out there can help?
Love the new Keynote Remote application for iPhone - if you have not tried it it's worth it's 59p (UK) price.
Regards
Paul

wow, you're right, it doesn't show what the default compressor is. I never use this (I always use custom and choose the codec I want) but I wonder why they removed that little bit of info.

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Please Help! PrE 4 "failed to return a video frame" on my project!

Big project, I finally pulled everything all together and on the render to H.264, I get "Adobe Premiere Elements (4) failed to return a video frame."
I really had hoped to get this in today (it's a video pitch for my dream opportunity). Any help you guys/gals can lend would be greatly appreciated!

Bill, thank you! Your article did help, and I was able to get the video to completely render. I essentially used a "Title" track, stripped down of its text/shapes to fill in all the gaps. Seems to have done the trick on that issue.
Unfortunately, I must have done something wrong, because the audio and the video are now terribly out of sync. The odd thing is, it seems to be matched sometimes, but then the video of me talking appears to speed up or slow down - the audio does not sound distorted but the video appears to be changing speeds. It's kind of throwing off my "Oh maybe I added too long of a gap Title frame and skewed the audio" theory.
I was dreading this moment. The moment when all is done and I can't export cleanly! Perhaps I should pose the audio sync problem as a separate question, because this is a fairly detailed project (lots of images/video popping up) and I fear that I'm having some sort of conversion or codec issue now
Any ideas? Thanks a million Bill, and everybody else!

How do I Ensure that your MOV/MP4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion?

I have a YouTube channel. I use Sony Vegas to render my mp4 projects, but my PC uses QuickTime & I'm VERY unfamiliar with it and/or how it works, how to access it. When I record a mp4 video, QuickTime needs to be involved, but I'm unsure how to even check or know where to go, to find out how to do that. I need ensure my mp4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion. I have no idea what it even means? Does anyone out there happen to have the knowledge I would need to check if in fact the video is being exported through QuickTime conversion? If so, I WOULD FOREVER BE IN DEBT TO YOU! I hope someone can help me figure this problem out. Thanks for taking the time to view my question, and if anyone does know, I'd greatly accept your advice! Thank you very much again!

Hello,
You can do this: Set up a slow pulse train for CTR0 (1Hz). Set up a continuous digital channel read for Port 0 Line 0 on your card. Hook up CTR0 output (pin 5) to P0.0 (pin 10). Start your program to do the counter output pulse train and continuous read. You should see your digital line transition from high to low over time. The examples you can use to set this up are Gen Dig Pulse Train-Continuous.vi and Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi. For Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi, remove the DAQmx Timing VI to make it software timed, and connect the task handle and error wires accordingly. They can be ran from separate VI's as they don't use the same resources.
To be exact on the verbage used, you can perform a self-test on the device by right clicking the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Self-Test. As for testing the device manually, go with what I described above.
