Export vs Burn

What is the difference between File>Export and Share>Burn? I just want to get a bunch of picture files to a CD, preferably full-size images in TIFF format and the iPhoto titles.
I got an error message with Export ("can't create") but Share>Burn worked fine. What's up?

bethl:
Are the files already in tiff format? If not you won't gain anything by converting to tiff and you will create much larger files. Best to keep them in the format the current are in.
If you want to keep the titles then use the File->Export-File Export menu route and select the option to "Use Titles". That will export the files to a folder on the Desktop of your choice with file names that are the same as the titles in iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

How to Mix Export and Burn 5.1 Surround in Premiere CS4

Ok I'm attempting my first 5.1 mix in Premiere CS4. I have a couple of basic questions about mixing and exporting in 5.1.
I have created my 5.1 master sequence in premiere and have broken out my 5.1 track to 6 mono audio files. Right now they are all .wma with a very high bitrate because that's the only format I was able to rip off the Blu-ray disc I'm experimenting with. I have also learned to change my audio hardware to run off of my Matrox Driver to utilize my hardware for my matrox axio LE. The end result I'm trying to produce is a 720p 23.967fps H.264 Blu-ray disc with 5.1 sound.
Questions:
Should I use wma files for audio or something else? At first I noticed a little bit of a lag in performace before switching my audio hardware to the Matrox Driver.
Do I have to use Dolby Surcode upon export to burn in Encore? When I first upgraded to premiere CS4 I used my 3 free encodes while testing our the program, is there any way to get them back?
When importing the Audio into Encore is there anything special I need to do or can I just drop the Dolby 5.1 track onto the timeline as I would normally with at stereo track?

Should I use wma files for audio or something else?
PCM WAV 16 bit stereo @ 48 KHz.
Do I have to use Dolby
Surcode upon export to burn in Encore? When I first upgraded to
premiere CS4 I used my 3 free encodes while testing our the program, is
there any way to get them back?
Yes, no.

Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Chris

(Scroll down about two thirds to "What's the difference between locked and unlocked audio?" )
The solution:
Always use 16-bit/48kHz audio.

Exporting to burn onto a DVD or to stream

what are the best exporting options if i want to burn on a dvd, and what are the best options if i want to stream it on a website? i am trying to export a 35 minute movie and i keep having quality problems.

For the DVD:
Export as Qucktime Movie. That is the one that keeps the quality of your Sequence Setting. You have the option of making it self-contained (creates a large file that can remain independent of your project) or not self-contained (creates a smaller file that references your project) ... this latter one works just spiffy. Also use this export setting to export chapter markers if so desired.
This Qucktime movie will work in DVD Studio Pro (you have the option of exporting it thru Compressor later), iDVD or Roxio Toast. Do not use Quicktime Conversion settings for a DVD
As for web settings: Not really my area of my expertise but I think if your end users have updated Quicktime viewers H.264 is very high quality (tho really slow export) and if not, maybe Sorenson or MPEG4. Others more web savvy than I will chirp in, no doubt

Multi-tasking while importing, exporting, encoding, burning, etc, etc.

Am I in any way endangering my project if I use the mac for other functions like being online, receiving email, wordprocessing, etc, while my IDVD project is busy encoding assets, and getting ready to burn, or burning dvds?
I ask because my experience with IMovie is that I need to be disconnected from everything else--the internet, even my printer/fax/copier/scanner when working on a project or horrible stuttering occurs. The stuttering will eventually happen regardless after I have enough extracted audio and audio edits in the project (it doesn't seem to like that), but at least I can put off working around that when disconnected.
It has been taking about 7-8 hours to create a disk image of a 90-minute project and I've been afraid to use the computer for anything else lest the virtual dvd gets screwed up with stuttering or slow motion audio.
Any suggestions??
Thanks a lot.

In theory, you should be able to do anything while running a non-realtime application (like iDVD). If there are side-effects, it is because there are bugs. The only thing you would do is slow the application down by contending for resources (like memory or the disk). If the application is written properly, you should not notice problems. I quite often will work on something else while processing a DVD. Typically, I am working on something else in iMovie for a different DVD. I have not noticed problems.
Now, iMovie is a different application because it does involve some realtime operations. Anytime you are importing video from or exporting video to a device then you do not want to slow the application down. If your machine is fast enough, you might get away with it. But I wouldn't recommend that. If you are exporting DV to the disk or extracting audio, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't work on the computer at the same time. I do it all the time and don't notice any problems.
Again, just because you can do it, doesn't mean you won't experience issues. These are bugs that need to be reported. As always, write your DVD to a disk image just in case something happens. Mac OS is supposed to be an OS where an app crash doesn't affect anything else, but I wouldn't want to live by that. Most of the time I let iDVD run by itself because I just don't have enough to do for the amount of time that it runs.

Exporting photos & Burning a DVD-R

I have an album with some pics I'd like to send to a relative. I can't export the album - nothing happens. I have to make a slideshow first, then export the slideshow to a folder, insert a DVD-R, and
drag the folder to the DVD in the Finder. However the result is a QuickTime movie (of course, it's a
slideshow). How can I export the pics and burn a DVD so the result is not a movie. I just want to
view these pictures on my DVD player one-by-one. Does this make sense ?? Thankx for a quick reply........pfalcon.

You want to create a slideshow in iDVD.

? Export and burn project in .avi format

How do you export a FCP project to disc so that it is just an .avi file. My video clip needs to be uploaded to a website and the site requires an .avi file. I tried emporting it as an .avi file from FCP but after I burned it in DVDSP it comes up as audio TS and video TS. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn

There may be other ways but I export things as Animation or Intermediate and then just throw them into VisualHub for web conversions like that. It may be good enough for you, I'm not sure.
If I'm understanding you correctly you need to dump it onto a Data DVD for delivery? Toast will do that or burning a disc from the Finder.

Export and Burn On A PC

Adobe seems to be toying with me. In LR2 on an XP 64bit machine. I now have the export option of "burn full size JPG's". However this feature seems to be disabled: "Disk burning is not supported by Lightroom on this computer. It has been disabled." Strangely, I can tell LR to create a folder on a CD and export to that folder. LR says it won't do it - but if you ignore the warning it works. So if I can get LR to do do it, why won't LR do it on its own? Any Ideas?

Wolf
Here's the work around. Don't tell LR you want to Burn to a CD. Insert a disk. Tell LR you want to export to a specific location. Select your CD drive as that location. You will need to tell it to create a new folder (don't forget to rename) or it will absolutely refuse to let you do this. As it is, it will pop up a warning telling you you can't do this. Ignore the warning and go back and tell LR to export to the folder you just told it to make. Part way through the export, the "you've got files waiting ......" bubble should pop up. When the export is complete, either click on the bubble, or open the cd drive, and tell XP to write the files to the CD. An odd work around, but it seems to work for me.

IPhoto slideshow export -- Ken Burns "jerkiness" on playback

Have an iPhoto slideshow of 25 pictures. On some, I used Ken Burns effect to zoom in, out, etc.
When I export, the result is a .mov file. Everything looks great when I play it on Quicktime, except for some of the photos on which I had used Ken Burns (meaning there's motion). The bad ones don't render properly, and are "jerky" for lack of a more technical word. They get stuck for a couple of seconds, jump forward, get stuck again, etc.
Amazing thing is that I did an export out of Quicktime using Sorenson3, and that seems to have smoothed everything out in a nice way. Result is a movie with no jerkiness, and everything works right.
Two questions:
1) Can I count on the Sorenson3 export method to fix the jerkiness for three other iPhoto slideshow-based movies I'll need to generate, or was this a one-time fluke that Sorenson3 fixed this movie? In other words, is there a principle behind the fix that makes sense and can be counted on?
2) What caused the jerkiness in the first place? Is there something I can do so the original output from iPhoto on Ken Burns photos isn't jerky?
Thanks for any insights.

the audio associated with that set of photos was a piece of music off of an audio CD that had been transferred to iTunes for the purpose of making this section in the DVD. It's not a big problem that the music didn't transfer, since I can add it back into FCX. Thank you so much for your concern and help. This was a very key bit of info that you provided me. Thanks again. bill

Project screen when exported and burned becomes tiny

Hello,
I am working on a project in Adobe Encore CS4. The project appears to be fine when we preview in the program, though there is a thin black border around it. When we export it and burn it to a dvd something changes. We play it on regular dvd player and tv and the picture becomes tiny and there is a huge black border around it. My boss and I cannot for the life of us figure out what setting is causing this. My boss has done projects before and not had this problem. We have compared previous projects to this one and can't find any settings that are different. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help

Exporting to burn dual layer disc from FCP

Greetings,
I have a 90 minute HD show that is 5.7 gigs after compression, do I need to export the show in two parts in order to burn a two sided disc, or does the toast software or any other disc burning software recognize and splits it accordingly.

Is this meant to be a regular DVD or a HD DVD (the kind that only play on those obsolete Toshiba machines that lost the fight with BluRay)?

Exporting Ken Burns

I haven't seen this addressed in the forum (and I think I've read 32 pages so far!) When I export a slideshow where I have set the global settings to do a Ken Burns, it chops off some parts of my pictures. I've gone back and corrected the pictures by doing a manual Ken Burns on just those affected, however when I export again, different pictures are cut off. Is there any way to save the Ken Burns as they are in one particular slideshow? I hope this makes sense to someone.
I'm also having other issues, but I'll start with this one for now.
iMac4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Intel Core Duo

OK - this might help you.
Click on the Settings button in your slideshow and select Auto Ken Burns.
"Then back in your slideshow in the selection bar at the top of the screen select all of the pictures (apple a) and click on the Ken Burns check box at the bottom of the screen to turn Ken Burns on for all of the pictures.
Then go back to the settings and turn OFF Auto Ken Burns.
Your pictures should now have a random generated Ken Burns effect but it remains the same every time you play or export - it should no longer auto regenerate the Ken Burns effect as this is now off.
You can also manually update ones that you don't like the random genreated effect of and they should now stay the same."
any ideas for the new iPhoto which has no Ken Burns box at the bottom

Export and burn - Final Cut Studio to DVD Studio Pro

I think I am doing all the right settings when I try and convert material that was filmed with an HDV camera into a suitable format for burning and playing on a traditional SD DVD recorder. But even with encodings of 720 x 576i PAL, the disc once burned is rejected by my DVD player, although it plays fine on the Macbook Pro I amusing for editing and burning. Am I missing something obvious? I looked for a standard MPEG -2 setting in the Quicktime Conversion window, but couldn't find one. I have the first version of Final Cut studio, which I think is really FCP v.5.1.
Thanks
Nick

It sounds as if you are choosing the HD DVD checkbox in DVD SP.
You shouldn't.
