Export to WMV file type

I am having serious problems exporting my finished video into a Windows Meida file type. Ordinarily I would not want to publish into this format but when my clients need it in that format I have no choice.
For some reason it exports only part of the whole video. around the first 30 seconds then stops. I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie then using Quicktime to convert that movie and slao exporting straight from FCP.
What do I need to do to get the full video exported properly?

Ok, when I choose export in Quicktime or Final Cut Pro I have a list of default quicktime conversions and one of them is Windows Media File.
I am coming to the conclusion that the Flip4Mac FREE download will allow a short export from QT pro or FCP. I see what you are saying that I should pay for the Flip4Mac full software so then I can do the full sequence.

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

How to Export a WMV file in High Quality but low MB?

I'm really afraid you are the only person who can answer that.
ANY compression is totally relative: what do you think is small? What do you define as high quality?
I can get a 5 minute wmv file at just under 100mb that I find acceptable for browser downloads. You might think that's too big. I don't.
Trial and error is the only way. Personally, I've set up a compressor preset to crunch my wmv files. While it's doing it's thing, I can do something else.

AE CC not exporting to any file type on Mac OSX 10.10.2

I have been trying to export my AE sequences to pretty much any file type possible. Initially thought it was the Quicktime/H.264 error that people had noted in other threads, even tried it with AME. I've tried exporting several different projects too, some that had third party plug-ins and even test projects with just in-software assets in them. I was having no problem up until just a few days ago when I upgraded. My best guess is that it's OSX 10.10.2 related bug?
Computer specs:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processer 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Oh yes. My bad. It is in face the one-second mark. And it is in every
project I have tried.
The assets in the first project that I noticed this happening on (which was
also the first project I opened after upgrading to OSX 10.10.2) include:
- Solid background with a color gradient
- Alpha Track Matte
- Optical Flare
- Particular
- Null object
But this exact same problem occurs with every project I've tried to export,
regardless of what's in the project/comp

Premiere Pro CS5 crashing when exporting (only certain file types)

Hi
I have found that when I try and export media in Premiere Pro CS5, it often crashes during the export. It says
It's only certain file types. For instance, Vimeo HD seems okay but Vimeo SD always crashes mid-export. MPEG is okay too, but MPEG2-DVD always crashes.
Sometimes it says this: "Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error" but doesn't throw me out of Premiere altogether.
Other times it crashes altogether and Windows gives me this error message: "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 258.96 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". Premiere Pro then stops responding so I have to re-open it and start exporting again.
I have checked there are no gaps in my timeline and I have rendered the whole work area. Besides, I doubt it's anything that I'm doing wrong with the project itself because it's exporting fine in some formats.
I am also experiencing random crashes when editing too. Not that often, but occasionally it throws me out - and twice it has made the whole screen go crazy, with weird dotting across the screen (it's scary, it looks like the monitor itself has broken!).
Any help would be appreciated!
Nick
PS I have a pretty decent new PC - Dell Studio XPS, 8GB, 2x1TB drives, etc. Premiere itself is working great, except for these crashes.

Some drivers do not work well in some systems... so go to nVidia and try a different (usually newer) driver for your card
These notes are for Encore, but they MAY also work in Premiere

Large file after Exporting to wmv file

I just exported an mp4 file to windows media (wmv) and the file is 4x larger than the original. Is that normal after a conversion?
Nano

I have a similarly related problem. I am converting some video files to .m4v and i notice that even though the total size of the new files will be (for example) 1gig, the size of the folder i save the files to will be around 7gigs. i accidently saved a group of files to the desktop and it seems to have curtailed my harddrive size. i was wondering if you knew of a way to find all the extra fat and free the space back up on my harddrive.

Exporting existing .wmv files using CS4

Another department at my work made a series of training .wmv files using Camtasia. Each video is 1024x 768. They want me to put them in Premiere and
output them all as one long video. Since they are .wmv that means they are alrady compressed what export settings should I choose to insure that I
don't recompress them?
Also I set the output size to be 1024 x 768 (the same size as the originals) but the rendered video comes out looking cropped.
Actually it seems more like the visible part of the video is slightly enlarged thereby making the egdes go off screen. Can anyone give me some advice
on this project?
Thanks,
Al

Unfortunately, unless you can get another Export from Camtasia, you have no choice. The WMV's will have to be uncompressed, either internally, or via a conversion program, to be edited. You will then re-compress them, for Export. That is the biggest problem when working with compressed material.
Actually, Windows Movie Maker might be your best bet, as it is designed to work with the WMV CODEC's. PrPro is not.
Good luck,

Low quality exports as .wmv files

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4/Windows XP.
I've seen a couple other posts relating to this subject, but was wondering if someone could advise me on the best way to export to achieve a 320x240 wmv file. I'm scaling down from an avi file, edited with chroma key so I could replace the background.
I tried some of the NTSC Source export settings, but was unable to open the exported wmvs on my computer. The only setting that seems to work is the Zune Video setting, which specifically exports to the size I need. However, the quality is not very good.
Will I ever be able to achieve a wmv file that matches the quality of H264/mp4? We're using a webcast service which requires us to upload either wmv or flv videos, so are rather limited.
If anyone can recommend the best settings, I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Christine

hiya,
might as well post this here....
Bill...just did wmv export for youtube ( sample as per other thread )
to bring into focus for this post...I am putting my project settings too...basically I matched the project settings except for the audio going down to 44khz from 48... I coulda kept that at 48khz...
IF THIS was interlaced I would check the box that says " allow interleaving "...
IF THIS was interlaced that I want to export progressive I would check "deinterlace" and NOT have allow interleaving" checked....also I would make the progressive dimensions roughly HALF of the interleaved size...cause you lose half the vertical resolution going from interleaved to progressive.
In my sample for youtube I really crank up the bitrate... seems to work well....as it gets converted by youtube...
added some youtube screens also, reference how to upload the video to that place...for Bill ----
NOTE: The settings put you into a custom mode...where you are choosing all your settings..not a preset ...

How to export to a file type that will be editable on a PC in Premier Pro?

The footage is HD. I just want to export out of FCP a file that is "HD" and that can be edited on a PC in Premeire Pro.
Any ideas? This question seems to stump everyone.

I am not an editor so do not understand what the EDL does exactly but I made one and found out it is not a video file. It is just a file that retains the info of the edited footage but not the footage itself? So what about the video? How do I render that out?
I find it amazing that there are no files that FCP outputs that cannot be used in Premier Pro but so far nobody has came up with any ideas.

Exported images are being exported as hidden file types

So when I export my images using the current up to date version of Aperture 2, the files were not visible until I clicked "show hidden files." This really ***** because then when I burn a CD it appears as the CD is blank.
Has this happened to anybody else? And what could cause this so I can fix it?
Any help would be great!
Thanks.

Welcome,
Where on your system are you exporting them? What export preset are you using?
Also, it would be helpful if you added your configuration info to your public profile. That way the contributors here can see what your set up is at a glance. Look at the bottom of this post for an example.

Can't open .wmv file type

HELP! I can't seem to open email attachments from friends when they're a .wmv.
I've tried the drag into an open Safari window - no worky.
I've downloaded the free version of FLIP4MAC - no worky.
Have not downloaded Windows Media Player 9 for Mac yet (and really don't want to).
Any ideas?????? Thanks in advance for any help!

I'd suggest you use VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html). It plays close to all file formats without problems and it's free. So except for the above mentioned case it will solve your problem.

Exporting movies to wmv files

Trying to export short movies into wmv files. After I create the file through Expert Settings and choosing wmv, I open the file and it is only 30 seconds long. The original file in iMovie is 3 minutes long. I have tried other movies and even saved them as MOV's and they all are only 30 seconds after exporting as well. Is there a setting that I am not seeing that is defaulting to 30 seconds for the length? How do I change it so the exported movie is as long as the original in iMovie? Thanks!!

I purchsed the Studio version and it works fine now. Thanks for the help. One issue I do see is that I can't change the size of the movies while exporting as WMV files. Before I upgraded I was able to choose the size of the movie I wanted to export, now that is all greyed out. Is there a reason for that?

Exporting from a MAC in FCP to a WMV file

Hi,
Having some issues with exporting a WMV file on Final Cut 5. It will only export a 30 second clip. I have been reading that I need to buy Flip4Mac or Quicktime Pro to convert a Quicktime file into a full lenth WMV file. Do I really need to purchase more software? Or is there a way to to do that in Final Cut or Compressor? I am trying to export a 720x480 WMV file from a 1280x720 file.
Thanks in advance.

I have used Media Converter for mac by iSkysoft for the past year - $50.

Anamorphic nightmares - exporting .wmv file

HI, I'm trying to export my DV Pal anamorphic 16:9 file to a .wmv file to be used in a Powerpoint Presentation. When I've exported the file through QT conversion / windows media, I can't get it to show the right proportions and with the black bars top and bottom.
Could you let me know what settings I need to choose for DV Pal to export this .wmv file?
I've also tried exporting it using compressor, but can't get it in the right proportions either. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, it works for part of the sequence but not all of it! Sighhh. In the nested sequence I'm highlighting the whole sequence and changing the aspect ratio like you say but it is only picking up part of it!
In the origingal sequence you can see the clips where it has changed it as it looks very stretched. Any idea how to get it to do the whole sequence?
I exported using .wmv and the section that was altered looks fine, so where nearly there.
Thanks for your persistence, I really appreciate it.

Trouble with WMV files in Premiere

Hello,
I searched first but didn't find my issue or really old discussions came up.
Basically I recorded some screen captured tutorials with Microsoft Expression. Since I'm using the free version when I'm done my only option is to export a WMV file. It won't let me pick MP4 for example.
Anyway I exported fairly lightweight files from Expression, 10,000 kbps, 29,97 fps. In total I'm only talking about 243 MB of footage.
These files play perfect in Windows Media Player and completely aweful in Premiere Pro CC. This is on a Dell 7600 Nvidia Maximus setup with Mercury CUDA playback enabled. It should fly with only one video track playing. On other projects I've used DSLR 1080p footage with AE linked comps in the timeline with heavy effects and I could still play back in realtime.
I'm currently rendering a proxy file so that I can actually work and see footage play back. Typically my render times are great but with the WMV files it's terrible. It's going to take 4.5 hours to render 22 minutes of just video. No crazy AE comp or anything like that.
So anything I can do to fix this? i see myself doing more of these in the future and this workflow is horrible and a huge waste of time. There's gotta be a better option.
Thanks!
Rich

Aweful as in 30fps playback in WMP and 0fps playback in Premiere. The video will play choppy for the first 1 or 2 seconds then stop updating alltogether. Only when I stop playback (and after a several second wait) will the video refresh.
Again, plays 100% perfectly in WMP. Files are small, 50-100 megs each. Only in Premiere do they not play correctly.
To even work I've had to create proxy videos in another format. That wouldn't be that big of a deal but the slow playback affects Media Encoder too. Encoding 250 megs, about 25 minutes of footage in a low bit rate, took about 6 hours. Normally with another format that would only take a couple of minutes.
Kinda funny / sad. My video was full frame until I tried uninstalling that update described in the other thread. Now it's half frame, ha ha. Now to try and reinstall that update that broke their system in the hopes that it fixes mine.
