Exported MP4 Pixilates on PC (OK on Mac)
I exported a MP4 for you tube settings and it plays fine on the mac, I transfered it to memory stick then played on PC, it is pixilating in certain areas. I then formatted the stick and tried again, same result so I put it on another HD and tryed (this time on 3 different PC's) and same result but still playing fine on Mac....Any ideas other that telling everyone to get a Mac??
telling everyone to get a Mac??
What media player? Have you actually uploaded it to YouTube yet? How does it look there?

Why does my exported mp4 file look so bad when it is viewed in adobe acrobat pdf file?
I have embedded an mp4 (exported from premier pro cs6) video file into adobe acrobat and its not sharp viewing of my video anymore. It was a sharp video when viewed in both premier and the exported mp4 files, but once embedded in acrobat it looses sharpness, anyone know what the problem might be? Could my settings in adobe acrobat be wrong? I would think the problem is in adobe acrobat since the exported mp4 video views crisp and clear before its embedded, any ideas to assure sharpness with my video after its embedded into the adobe acrobat pdf?
Hoping someone has an answer to this, I think my problem might lie within the adobe acrobat settings????
or maybe there is no way around and I need to expect this video not to look as crisp and clear after I embed it into acrobat.... as it is when viewing in premier pro, mp4, etc.????
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Someone Im sure is taking theri exported premier files and embedding them to create pdf files? Would love to hear if anyone has encountered this issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help offered.Hi Dave,
I just completed a test and comparison between the two PDF's,
compared the file as you suggested with the floating option and changing setting to actual size of the original premier pro / mp4 file size and
the old pdf that did not utilize the floating and file size option.
I do notice a slight difference. The PDF with the floating window with the match of the media clips original dimensions appears to be crisper.
I will be having the final pdf document set utilizing this method for the embeded mp4 movie and hope that the department doing this (next stage of this job) will agree that this is better to use your steps to embed all the video files into a pdf.
Thanks so much for your time.
Hope you had a happy holiday, and hope you have a very happy and healthy new year.
Thanks, Amy -
Iphoto - export pictures and import in an other mac
is it possible to export pictures which are stored on one mac in the iphoto lib and to import them an an other computer. So that i can manually sync the folders.
Or does any one knows an other way to sync (both directions)
Thanks
Hansis it possible to export pictures which are stored on one mac in the iphoto lib and to import them an an other computer. So that i can manually sync the folders.
Yes - you just export them from iPhoto on computer 1 - move them to the other computer and import them into iPhoto there
There is no way to sync
If the computers are connected in some way you can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - -to move photos between the libraries

Gamma shift when exporting MP4
I know this is a known issue, but I have yet to see a viable solution.
Working off PC and exporting via Adobe encoder.
When exporting H.264 in an mp4 container, there are significant gamma shift issues that void several hours/days of color correction work. It really washes out the color. I have viewed these exported mp4's in quicktime and VLC on multiple computers and the issue is still present.
Quicktime MOV exports seem to be fine, it is only when exporting H.264 mp4.
Some have mentioned changing the NVIDIA settings which seems to be an internal fix for that monitor, but I am exporting video's that will be going on the web for distribution. I really need consistency across all media platforms.
This is a very big deal that needs attention and hopefully a fix is in the works if it is not already out there.
Thanks,
AustinGamma shift once clip starts
Pure black before clip starts
Thanks for the reply!
The above demonstration is the same in VLC as well.
We exported black for a few seconds and then faded into a jpg image using the generic fade in effect.
All that was used in this clip was a jpg image at the end that we faded into. For this test we used no video.

Only third party installed effects are film impact transitions, but they were not used in this clip.
Let me know if any more info is needed.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011
Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method. -
How do I export mail from windows xp to my mac? Can I just copy all my windows mail to a USB storage device and plug it into my mac?
Select "export' while in Windoz/Outlook and cerate an export file, then while in MacOS/Outlook select "import" and select the same file to import. You can use a thumb drive to sneakernet the file.

Why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's?
why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's? Everytime i try to export h264 mp4's the final export is an unrecognizable .m4v file.
I read about this 'bug' in a thread started over 8 months ago, and read that the 'work around' is to export with audio on. (my videos have no audio channels, so why would i want to save them and make them larger, by encoding them with audio?)
I am preparing to switch from Final Cut 7, to Premiere Pro, but i'm concerned to do so as this bug apparnetly was never fixed by adobe, almost a year later. There seems to be no way to encode an .mp4 without audio using Premiere Pro CS6 or Media Encoder CS6. Is there any kind of patch or another way to export .mp4's?
thanks.That is exactly my point! Why should I have to export an audio channel and increase the file size to work around a known bug of the software...
We export about 100 videos a day and it will add up. These are files that will be online, and size is an issue.
I'm just not sure that we'll want to invest in software with a known bug that hasn't been addressed after months.
I was hoping that maybe there was a patch or update that I haven't found yet. Thanks all. -
I want to update the library on my old mp3 player.
Copying from iTunes works but the mp3 player will only play tracks that are in mp3 format.
That is fair enough.
So how do I export iTunes tracks that are in mp4 format and convert them to mp3 at the same time?
Cheers
JohnAh so that's how it works.
I understand now. Thanks.

I have a number of MP4-files (H.264) that I need to edit in FCP.
I've used Handbrake, since it gives me the option to burn-in subtitles to the final video file.
But .mp4 is not good for FCP. MPEG Stream can export to .mov, but has no option to include subtitles.
Is there a software like Handbrake (with subtitle option) that produces FCP compliant files?I don't have Premiere for Mac, and it would perhaps take me loger to learn how to use the software than converting the clips and edit the stuff in FCP. :-)
Didn't realize that MPEG Streamclip could handle the .mp4 files as well. I figured it was for DVD/MPEG-2 only.
Converting now (and sure it takes a while) but at least I can get on with the work.
Actually, Compressor seems to be able to convert .mp4 as well, but then I would have to go to ProRes422 (LT?) and it seems that MPEG Streamclip is a bit faster (I choosed DV25 as output, just to make editing simple in FCP).
Thanks Shane for your info! As always, you rock! -
Frame Rate Issue Exporting .mp4 using h.264 compression
I really like the h.264 codec, but I have to use Quicktime Conversion, instead of QT Movie, when I export. I get a 'Codec Error' when I try to export as a QT Movie. That is the first problem, but I work around it.
The frame rate issue comes up when I try to export at larger screen sizes like 640x480. I have no problems at 320x240, but when I move up to the larger screen sizes the resultant QT mp4 plays back at 1/2 the specified frame rate, no matter what frame rate I try. It is really bizarre.
I tried lowering the key frame number to reduce the processor load on playback, but this had no effect. This was a tip I picked up here.
I tried lowering the bit rate, too. The only thing that 'fixes' it is to go back to the lower screen size.
The problem is reproducible when the file is played on other (faster) computers.
Any ideas?
thx

Exporting to avi or mov on a Mac
Hello. I'm just learning how to use Captivate on request from a client so this may be a bit of a noobie question. I'm using Captivate 5 on a Mac. All the tutorials I've seen on how to export captured video to .avi format has been for the Windows version of Captivate. When I go to publish the video and navigate to the Media tab, there is no useable video formats available. There's .exe .app .f4v and .f4v with a fixed frame rate. I need these videos exported to cut together in after effects, but without a video option as described in the Windows version of this software, this is making my task impossible. I can't seem to find any help for the Mac version.
If anyone can help with how to export to any sort of video file (avi, mp4, mov, whatever) on the Mac version, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!These .f4v options are both in fact videos, which you can use in video player / editors directly.
If you want to convert this video to MP4, you can do it with Adobe Media Encoder which is installed free with Captivate 5. Inside the Adobe Media Encoder, you need to select H.264 as the format. The select one of the suitable preset to get MP4 output.

QT 7 Pro (Windows) missing WMV export option? It's in QT/Mac...
Bought QT Pro for my wife's XP computer, so she can convert small .mov files from textbook-bundled CDs to .avi/cinepak or wmv so that powerpoint can import them natively, and she can give them to teaching assistants to use in class sections. The exported file, when properties are viewed, has the exact same specs and codec as an avi file that plays fine within powerpoint. WMV plays them fine standalone.
Except, using the Window QT 7 pro, the converted .avi files will play within powerpoint (2003). It thinks it can read the avi (powerpoint will import them) and the slide shows the preview, but things just goes blank when you attempt to play. No error messages, no sound, no disk activity.
If I put the original .mov on my Mac, and export it with QT Pro, I have WMV 9 audio and video export formats available. QT Pro 7 Windows, has only mp4 (no formats of which are readable natively in powerpoint) and other non-useful formats, not including WMV9. It's just not there. avi w/cinepak/InterVideo etc. also fail to be properly formatted- they don't play in powerpoint.
What gives? The Windows version of QT Pro can't export to WMV format, the only one that goes natively into powerpoint?
The mp4 might be playable if I update to the latest directX, but you can't count on everyone having that, while WMV just works. And the Mac version actually works?
Granted powerpoint isn't the best thing but it is clear to me that the QT-exported avi is not properly formatted. And wy is there no WMV option- it's not ghosted as if the file was wont bit depth or or something for the format, it's just not an option when exporting from the Windows version of QT Pro.
If I wanted to et her up with ffmpegX and make this complicated, I could have. Buying the QT Pro was supposed to make it easy.
Thoughts?sorry for typos, to make it clear, .avi files converted by QT 7 Pro Windows from .mov do NOT play in Powerpoint 2003, although they do import. The video codec and audio are same settings as .avi files that DO import (and were not converted by QT).
Performing a conversion to WMV9 format on my Mac QT Pro 7 imports fine into Windows powerpoint. There is not a WMV export option on the Windows QT pro.
I'd prefer to have WMV export but would settle for .avi it it would import and play as I need it to.
The converted .avi file plays fine in Windows Media Player under XP. Just not in Powerpoint.
Office and XP updates are very recent, within 2 months for sure.
Thanks for help. -
Exporting MP4 to 3GPP Mobile MP4
Ok so I have this new phone Samsung A940 and I was able to take out the trans flash card and upload a converted MP4 to 3GPP Mobile to it BUT it had NO SOUND. So I was wondering when I export am I doing something wrong?
ThanksTry this:
Record a 30 second clip on the phone and transfer it to your Mac.
Use QuickTime Pro to examine the Movie Properties and settings.
There are a lot of settings and options for 3G phones. Make sure you're using the correct settings and formats for your phone.
At the bottom of the export settings window it will show that your settings "conform" or not. -
AE CS6 won't export MP4. "Some of the required components could not be found."
After Effects CS6 (from Production Premium) running on 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series video card
64 Gb Corsair Ram (DDR3)
Quicktime 7.7.4 Installed
Currently attempting to export a short (2 second) video based on the predefined "H.264" preset with the only alterations being that I want the VBR 1 Pass to target 3.5Mbs (though I've changed this with no difference in outcome) and I want the video to multiplex as MP4. I immediatley get the error prompt: "Some of the required components could not be found."
*Just tried using the 3GPP multiplexer and received the same error message. If I try to use the MPEG4 format I get an "unknown exception" error.*
I've exported literally hundreds of items as H.264 with a MP4 multiplexer on this machine with current hardware and software. And now...no dice. After Effects boots correctly (or at least it seems that way) though I think it takes a little longer than it used to (not sure if the system cache just needs to be rebuilt).
After Effects CS6 has all available Adobe updates. Quicktime 7.7.4 is also up-to-date. Video Card driver is up-to-date.
What could be going on? I'd prefer to skip re-installing this program. I've had to do this numerous times already with this suite throughout the past 12 months; really getting sick of the down-time during reinstall. Worth noting that I have closed the program, closed all programs, restarted computer multiple times.
I am currently going through my Adobe program files for After Effects. I am specifically looking through the 'Support Files' directory. A couple interesting things: 1. My 'MediaIO->Codecs' directory was last updated on 11/8/2013 (perhaps an AE update??) but each of the files within said directory have a last modified date of late September. Did something get wrongfully deleted in the hypothetical update? 2. In 'Media Core plugins->Common' I again have a last modified date of 11/8/2013, but again each of my files within the common directory were last modified late September. I have many expected .prm files but NO ImporterMPEG4.prm; should I have a MPEG4 specific importer file, or does the MPEG importer file do all of the work. Also, I have no ExporterMP4 (or anything of the MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 flavor). Should I have one of these?
Don't know if this last paragraph helps at all but my fingers are crossed.Thanks Katrina for all your help.
I talked to an Apple tech support person. Actually, my call had to be elevated to the next support level. Joy. You are correct, there are multiple listings of the files in the error report even though there is only one copy.
The support person had me do a few things. Here is what eventually seems to fix things:
1) For the mp3's that DID copy but were listed as not found... Some files were duplicated so deleting the duplicate with the "!" was an easy fix. I found one file that I could search by song name in iTunes but could not find it by song name search on the iPod. Looking at the iPod playlist I found the file listed by the filename (not song name) and the file played fine. Then in iTunes I double clicked on the song name ("!" showing) and selected locate. I then pointed to the location on the NAS. Resync and now the name of the song on the iPod changed from filename to song name. The file was no longer listed in the error report.
2) For the m4a files that didn't sync... the problem songs appeared three times in a search in iTunes. Two of the listings showed the "!" next to the name. I deleted these two for each song that didn't sync and all transferred fine afterward.
Perhaps there is an issue with ID3 tags since I use filenames more than tags in organization. Still, I would think that iTunes would not get so confused or be a little more friendly with its errors, especially considering how long its been around.
Thanks again for your help. Looks like I have a manual way to correct this issue. -
Exporting selected contacts from Outlook 2011 for Mac
I've wanted to easily export a set of selected contacts from Outlook in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I've been through many threads about synching to Address Book and then exporting, but I've found a host of troubles, including duplicate copies of contacts being created.
So, I finally broke down and wrote an AppleScript script to export all of the currently selected contacts from Outlook to a file in either vcf (vcard) or csv (comma separated value) format. The best use of this script is to:
-- Install this as a script in Microsoft Outlook by saving the script below to Documents>Microsoft User Data>Outlook Script Menu Items
-- Change to your Contacts in Outlook. Use the Outlook search bar to find the contacts you want to export. You might search by name, category, company, or anything else that identifies the contacts you want to export. Or, you might just leave the view showing all contacts.
-- Select the contacts you want to export
-- Launch the script
The script will have you select between vcard and csv and select a destination file. This hasn't been optimized for speed, so if you're exporting 100's or 1,000's of contacts, be patient. And there isn't a progress bar at present, so you have to wait. It will display an alert when it's complete.
Sorry not to have a download location for you. You'll just have to copy the script text :-). Keep in mind there's been some but limited testing. Read the comments for details. And enjoy.
