Export video - AVCHD Problems

Hi all.
I'm managing m2ts files coming from Canon HF10 with PE7. Import and editing works fine; now I need to create AVCHD disc structure to copy it on HF10 SD, so I can play video on my FullHD TV.
I export video timeline using H.264 1920x1080i 30fps template (the same project configuration): the result is video.m2t file.
Using tsMuxer software, I'm importing video.m2t to generate AVCHD disk structure but I have to change m2t suffix to .ts suffix otherwise tsMuxer refuses to import the file; I take a look at video.ts properties: codec MPEG-2 1920x1080i is shown. I'm expecting H.264 codec, what's wrong???
I try to create AVCHD Disc structure anyway, but HF10 is not able to detect any scene.
I've tried Nero 9: import video.m2t file generated da PE7, I go head to create AVCHD disk but Nero starts to re-encode the video .....too much time needed......
If I import original m2ts files without editing in PE7, Nero doesn't re-encodes videos and takes few minutes to generate AVCHD disc.
What is the righ configuration in PE7 to export video, avoiding re-encoding process for creation AVCHD disc?
Thank you for any comments

Per Steve's question, I'd go with a BD (Blu-ray Disc). You can use either the H.264 CODEC, or the HD MPEG-2 COCEC. (Acutally, most feel that the MPEG-2 gives better quality in their tests, but also remember that all H.264 CODEC's are not equal).
For reference, here is a chart of Allowable BD Specs.
Good luck, and if you have more details on an "AVCHD disc," please share them,

AVC H264 720p60 video with AC-3 asynchronous after exporting as AVCHD using Pre11

Dear community,
I am currently facing a problem concerning asynchronous video and sound after rendering AVC files including H264 codec at 720p60 and AC3 sound as well as multiple stereo tracks.
The video is recorded using Hauppauge Hauppauge HVR-5500HD to record DVB-C.
After editing (only cutting, no effects) and exporting as AVCHD 720p60, vbr 2pass, I get gradually increasing asynchronity. Some exports are at the beginning perfecty synchronous and get more and more asynchronous (until reaching a peak of approximately 5 minutes delay of video at a 2 hours export), others have the delay at the beginning and are perfecly synchronous at the end.
However, that issue doesn't occur with all souce files, only with some random ones! (Unfortunately the most!)
Here is the output of the souce video using MediaInfo (1 example out of many similar ones):

I think there could be a problem with the pre-settings!
As i did buy PrE11 only for editing this and similar videos I would be very pleased if someone could help me solve my issue.
(Please don't tell me that I should buy Adobe Premiere Pro or any other version as them are much too expensive for my purpose and as PrE11 should be capable to do that job.)
Best regards

Just tested your suggested codecs. Works fine (at least on a 51s clip).
Only disadvantage: WinTV v7 (shipped with the TV card) refuses to show any image (just black screen)!

I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

I'm having a similar issue. When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render. Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing. I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it. Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

Lightroom 5.4 exported videos in PRE 10 problems

Recently started making MP4 exported slideshows in newly installed LR 5.4. When I import them into PRE 10 projects, I'm getting playback artifacts in the PRE 10 monitor that are very strange. The videos seem to be playing back fine, but all of sudden, in the middle of playing the picture videos, green screens and most often red screens are interpolated between the pictures playing back. Some of the pictures in the video are also missing in the playback. The interpolated screens will last for up to 30 seconds in the PRE timeline. The exported videos play fine in Windows Media Player and other playback programs.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:
I never had these problems with previous versions of LR exported slideshows. I experimented loading test projects in PRE 10 with video exported from earlier versions of LR (LR4 and 5.3). None of those earlier videos had the problems I'm now experiencing with the newly exported LR 5.4 videos
Any ideas as to why these problems might be happening now with LR 5.4 videos? Are there any project setttings or preferences in PRE 10 that would fix this problem? Is there a bug in either program? Or is there some other issue I'm not seeing?
Thanks!
FYI: Windows 7 Home Premium; Intel i-7 3.5GHZ Quad Core; 8 MB memory

Thanks John. Below is a comparison of 2 videos from MediaInfo. The file on the left is from LR5.4, the one on the right is from LR 4.4.
Note that the LR 5.4 MP4 slideshow export includes actual videos that are in the slideshow as well as still pictures. Since it includes actual videos, it also includes audio. The LR 4.4 MP4 does NOT include any audio since LR 4.4 only created the MP4 files from still pictures.
FYI: I realize now that also exported MP4 Slideshow files of still pictures only from LR 5.3. Those files also worked fine in PRE 10. HOWEVER, I did NOT include any video files in the 5.3 exported MP4 slideshows. Instead, I manually inserted each video as separate files in the PRE 10 project timeline.
So I ‘m guessing that the problem in PRE 10 has something to do with embedding videos in the LR 5.4 exported slideshows. I see some differences in the files data below, but I don’t know enough to know how they might impact PRE 10. I know I CANNOT change the slideshow MP4 video export settings in LR 5.4 other than the export size.
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to insert the videos in PRE 10 projects individually, but I suspect I may have to.
Does the data below provide some explanation to the problem?
Thanks again,
LarryER

Edited AVCHD video to export in AVCHD codec

I transfer AVCHD material from the Panasonic HDC-SD300 camcorder to Final Cut Express to edit the video. After editing in HD I would like to export the finished HD video (including audio) in AVCHD Codec to a SDHC card. The content of the SDHC card could be transfered with an AVCHD compatible SDHC tool (BD player with SDHC card reader or directly HD TV set with SDHC reader) to a HD TV set.
Any proposal, how to get the edited HD exported in AVCHD codec/format ?

Hello skalicki,
thank you for your answer. May the difficulty is AIC. To transcode AIC to AVCHD is surely not the best way. As long as Apple is using AIC for FCE, it will be certainly not easy to get an AVCHD export option. I understand you have also an AVCHD camcorder. I think it will make sense to get after editing the option to export the video material in AVCHD. You could load the video material to a SDHC card and than you are able to transfer the AVCHD material via a SDHC reader (BD player with card slot or even directly a LCD TV set with card slot from Panasonic) to the HD TV set.
I am still hoping, somebody has a solution..............

Trying to export video, stuck at 0%. File in project is .mp4. I only have this problem with this type of file.

Hello,
I am trying to export a video and I'm stuck at 0%. The file in the video is a .mp4 that I downloaded from my own Youtube page. I have the same problem with any project containing this type of file. I have tried to export as .mov, .Mpeg, .wmv, .avi, with the same results.
I am able to export videos that contain other sorts of files without difficulty.
I am using a PC. Adobe Premiere Elements 12.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Edited AVCHD video export in AVCHD codec

Hi gamapa.
iMovie 6 does not support the AVCHD codec.
See this link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1807243&tstart=0
If you are using Final Cut Express, you should post in that forum for a more complete response to your question. FCE 4 does support AVCHD while FCE 3.5.x does not.

Audio problem after exporting videos from imovie.

When I export videos I've made in imovie, the audio becomes distorted. Clips that I have silenced, start to play during clips that they don't belong to. Any fixes?

Hi
How did You Export videos ? To what and into what format ?
If to iDVD then
• First I would trash iMovie pref files and iDVDs likevice
• Then in iMovie - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD or other res.)
• Then in iDVD from Media button Movies import it.
• Then test play in iDVD Preview
• If OK then - Save as a DiskImage
• Test this with DVD-player tool
• Still OK
• Then burn it to DVD either via iDVD or if You don't wat to re-calculate - use Disk Util tool.
(set down burn speed to x4)

Exported video problem?

Hello, im having a little bit of trouble with my exported videos. Im either exporting as an mpeg-2 or h.264 with 1920x1080 resolution as thats what my camera records in. Quality looks great but im getting a black box around my video, its especially noticeable on youtube. Maybe i should find out which aspect ratio im exporting as and change it? Not even sure which ratio im doing. Heres an example:

Nevermind, forgot about project settings. It works now, thank you!

Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

How can I get rid of green pixelation on a re-exported video?

I recently finished a film that ended on the 18-minute mark. When the film was done, I deleted everything except the finished video file to save space. I had to use this finished video file to cut a 15-minute version of the film for a festival next weekend. I submitted the cut-down version, but it will only be played on the grounds that I can submit a version without the green pixelation that seems to have been caused upon importing the finished video file. Is this a known problem? What can I do to fix this? Here are the technical specifications.
EDITING
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
CAMERA
JVC Everio GZ-HD10
PROJECT SETTINGS
AVCHD 1080i25 (50i) Anamorphic
DIMENSIONS OF EXPORTED VIDEO
1920 x 1080
FORMAT OF EXPORTED VIDEO

Thanks.

Oh, dude...

Any way to export videos and preserve the original creation date?

I recently shot video using an NEX-5N and AVCHD as the format. Since Aperture cannot playback this format, I converted the videos using Handbrake to mp4 (H.264), and then used A Better Finder to change the creation date of the converted file back to the same date as the original file.
Importing this converted file into Aperture works great, and the imported file shows the correct metadata of the original creation date, not the date of the conversion.
But when exporting this file from Aperture, it seems like Aperture does not embed the date as metadata, and thus the only date associated with the exported video is the file-system date attached to the file, which will of course be the date of the export.
I assume this problem applies to ANY video imported into Aperture, not just those that have been converted.
Does anyone have a method for exporting video and having the original creation date remain? This is obviously a problem when exporting videos one-by-one, but would be a bigger problem if I ever wanted to export my entire video library from Aperture into another program...all the video files would have the same date!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

EXIF data and video files is even more of a gray area then EXIF data and stills.
I don't do much video in Aperture so I'll take your word for it that the data isn;t imbedded into the file. In that case the best I can see is to create a custom export preset and include the Image Date in the filename. Not great but you at least have the data and you might be able to have a script use the date from the filename and somehow add it back into the file.

Dont work keyframing to export video

I'm doing keyframing, to move a video or an image on the screen. The canvas looks good, but when I export the video, moves to jumps. Why did this happen? So far I had worked well, but I going to make the last video, this began to happen.

Hi Al:
Set to "easy setup", 29.97 fps and HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, the result is similar (video jumps). My MacBookPro has two graphics cards. I have exchanged between them and I can see a better result with the NVIDIA GeForce 9600MGT card. With the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M card the video with many jumps.
Another test that I have done is to export the video with "using quicktime conversion", options in H264 and size in HD 1280 x 720 16:9. With the exported video with these parameters, almost not seen the jumps.
Can it be the problem in the processing power or memory graphics card?

Exported Video Does Not Look Right

I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
• I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
• I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.95
Normal Size: 640x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.97
Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?

I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

Export video with Lumetri effects - 2 to 3 videos render fine, after that flickering, colored frames

After I spent 45 minutes waiting to be transferred to to right department with the support chat, only to find out technical support isn't available during the hours I called, I am going to try this outlet to get some advice:
I have about 50 video files to export, each 20 seconds to 2 minutes long. They all have Lumetri effects on them (I suppose that's what causes the problem).
I can render 2, maybe 3 videos without problems. The next one might be fine for a while, but then all I get is strobelight frames, flickering, and different color frames. One time I even received a blue screen of death. I restart Media Encoder, add files to the queue, same thing happens. 2 - 3 will work, after that it exports garbage.
I am using Premiere Pro CC to edit the video, Media Encoder CC to export it.
The original footage is HDV 50i - 1440 px by 1080px - 1.333 pixelr ratio.
Besides some dip to black and cross transitions the only other effect is a title layer with some static color effects on it, and 2 Lumetri effects (warm midtones and dream 1).
I thought at first maybe it is because I encode in FLV, 1800 mbps, but also when I used uncomressed AVI with the same settings as the original footage the same problem occured.
I have two ATI radeon HD 6950s 1GB in my pc hooked together with cross fire, 16GB ram, the project file is on a SSD, the raw footage on a HDD. AMD Phenom II x4 processor with 3.4 GHz.
OS: Windows 7 64bit.
I did update to the latest GPU driver last night - that didnt fix the problem.
Since I noticed the fans becoming quite loud during rendering, I did put two Ice packs from the freezer on top of the case and pulled it away from the wall a little bit to allow for better cooling (and it did stay a lot cooler with the ice packs).
I do also get funky looking frames inside Adobe Premiere after trying to watch the footage with the Lumetri filter for a while. I'll have to restart the program and it'll work fine.
Any suggestions what I could do? Settings, or something? I dont want to attend to my machiene for so many hours, importing 2 video files at a time, having to review each of them for errors. I'd rather set it up once, and let them all render...

@Peter Garaway:
Thanks for the response.
I use two Lumetri effects:
Warm Midtones
Dream 1
Both applied directly to the clip of raw footage which is in the sequence that gets exported. There is actually one sequence, where I fixed some of the footage putting it into another sequence first, then the sequence into the final sequence that gets exported.
All my clips have both Lumetri effects applied to them. The flickering took place randomly, but it would definitely get worse the more I attempted to render (the first 2 to 3 no problems, on the 3rd or 4th maybe a few flicker seconds in the middle, any more would be 100% flickering - if any flickering or only like a green solid...)
Now Shrishti from tech support insisted the problem was within the sequence. And that kind of made sense, because once we successfully rendered one sequence, there would be no more trouble rendering it a second time, even if the program was already in flicker mode. And also for some reason while we were playing around with it when one sequence failed, even after restarting Media Encoder, it would fail again afterwards.
However last night after it failed I would just try again, doing 2 at a time and it would be successful.
Now I say it failed, but of course no errors no nothing... Just as in the result didn't look the way it was supposed to.
Also I want to mention that especially when I kept it running after it failed (meaning you leave it runnning, producing only garbage) the fans of my computer kept running louder and louder. Not sure if it was the GPU or CPU. Rigth now it keeps rendering in Software mode and the fans are barely louder than under normal usage.
I use the AMD catalyst driver which I downloaded from here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-64.aspx
While Shrishti was trying a couple of different settings at one time the screen went dark, as it came back on there was a message coming from the windows tray, saying the display driver had crashed, but recovered. One time I also received a bluescreen message, which I will try to attach to this post.
well i guess it doesnt have too much information on there other than... what is that? a memory address?
This happened I believe after the first attempt with the updated driver (I updated from 13.3 to 13.4 )
