Exported Video Dark on a PC Monitor

Hi, I am using QuickTime Conversion to produce a 720 x 480 16:9 QT video for stories for our newpaper. We then feed the master into YouTube or
Flash CS3 to output a video to put on the web. Several of my colleagues have PC monitors and claim the video is dark. It looks fine on my Mac and external monitor. What can I do on output to brighten the video for a PC monitor, unfortuneatly, the majority of which our viewers will have. I have
Cleaner, the encoding program, on my personal machine and there is controls to brighten and alter the contrasts for PC monitors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This might help:

Is it possible to export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera

Hi,
Recently i buy on 27inch iMac with Final Cut Pro X installed.
Also I buy Thunder bolt to firewire adapter & firewire cable from Apple.
Now i am abel to capture my video from DSR-PD175 mini DV camera to FCP X.
How can i export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera?
Please advise....
Thanks & Regds
Abin Thomas K.

II'm afraid not.
Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

X61s, Video driver, Win 7, External Monitor, Low Res

I've seen this problem posted before or similar, but no solution mentioned so far has any effect. Replaced totally failed HDD last week and moved up to Win 7 Professional (so something good came of it). Now the X61s can't run external monitors at anything higher than 1280 x 1024. The old OS (Win XP) went to 1600 x 900 and 1900 x 1080 with no problems. Latest BIOS is in (2.21) and the 965 Express Driver is the latest Lenovo 8.15.10.1867. One monitor is Samsung P2250, the other an LG 19 inch. Intel says the driver is manufacturer-tweaked, so best not to move to a generic from them directly. Anyone any ideas? 1280 x 1024 is a waste...

I believe I accepted default settings in Media Encoder, Format: Microsoft AVI, Preset: NTSC DV, "Export Video "checked, Video codec DV NTSC, Quality 100
Type: AVI movie

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

Color Correction: Canvas color is off from exported video

Hey everyone,
Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I've been searching around and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
When I color correct a video, I get it to where I want in the canvas, and then go to export. When I export the video, it looks different from what I did in the canvas. The exported video ALWAYS looks like its never been color corrected. It's very aggravating because I have to over color correct it to make it look the way I want. Like raise the contrast a bit more, to get the exported video to look right, while the preview in the canvas looks bad.
Any suggestions to how to perhaps change the color settings on the canvas? or how to correct this problem?
Thanks a lot,
Jonathan

It's unfortunate that the word "calibration" has been co-opted to mean something along the subjective lines of a daily set-up using a blue gun gray scale or a blue screen with NTSC or PAL or HD bars, performing white/black and chroma level adjustments by eye.
Calibration of a monitor in the literal sense is performed by an engineer with engineering tools to perform precise, objective adjustments of the r,g,b bias and gains as well as any yoke alignment in the case of one of those old fashioned cathode ray tube type displays.

Trouble exporting video files HELP!

I have a few Flash animation projects that I want to put on
my demo reel, but I can't get the animations in a usable format.
The bulk of the animation is a walk cycle in a movie clip. Of
course, when I hit play in flash, I see frame one of the movie clip
standing there for 16 frames, then it skips forward and stands over
there for 16 frames, then it skips forward, but the whole animation
plays smoothly when I export the .swf file.
However, whenever I try to export a video file all I get is
this useless frame one skip that you see when you hit play in
Flash. Anyone know how I can fix this? Are there video editing
programs that will take .swf files?
So far I've tried exporting into .avi and .gif.
Whenever I try exporting to .mov, I get this message.
"The installed version of Quicktime does not have a handler
for this type of flash movie. Please consult the documentation for
further information."

There are a couple of things you can try. None great but most
will do. First, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime
installed. If you can afford it buy the Pro version. Its pretty
cheap and you won't regret it. It makes converting all sorts of
files simple.
Second. I'm not sure what version of Flash you are using. The
older versions of Flash were pretty crappy at exporting video.
Flash CS3 Professional is little better but its something. Anyway,
if you don't have this download the 30day demo and give exporting
.mov from Flash CS3 a shot (after you install the latest version of
Quicktime)
Another thing you can try do is use a screen capture software
such as SnagIt or CaptureWiz. They will allow you to capture your
Flash movie as video and both have demos you can try before you
buy.
And one other thing I have done to capture my Flash files,
which works great, is to capture my screen to video. If you have
the capability to export your monitor to video or better yet a
firewire videocam and then someway to edit it your Flash to video
life will be easy as pie.
Good luck

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?

Export video from iMovie with maximum iPod Touch quality specs

We got an iPod touch to playback short films (made in iMovie) using Apple's composite video cable connected to a projector.
The published *TV and video* specs on the iPod touch webpage shows what the iPod Touch should be capable of playing back the following:
[1] +- H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
[2]+- H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
[3]+- MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats+
Exporting from iMovie using the *Share > Export Using Quicktime...* option and adjusting the settings to match any of those above creates files that iTunes refuses to copy to the iPod.
iMovies' *Share > Export Movie...* and iTunes' *Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone version* create videos with a bitrate of only ~1.6Mbps - both of which don't look great projected on a big screen.
Has anyone had any success exporting video at the published 2.5Mbps spec AND been able to copy them to the iPod Touch?
Thanks!

Figured out how to get HQ 2.5mbps video on the iPod Touch.
By changing one of the options in iMovie's "Export using Quicktime..." option: "Export: Movie to MPEG-4 > Options... > Video Options..." resulted in a file that works on the iPod.
Here's a screenshot of the settings: http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-hq-export.gif
Select the 'Baseline' profile ONLY (deselect the default 'Main' profile) and the iPod Touch will accept the file at 2.5Mbps - and, oddly, even bitrates higher than that, I managed to put a 20Mbps file on the iPod Touch.
Here are some test files:
4:3 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
16:9 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-wide-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
Hope that helps someone out there!

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?
Message was edited by: ChoreoGraphics

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.

How to export videos on my iPhone?

Hi all, I just got my new MBA and I'm getting used to how mac handle photos and music differently from a PC now. Since iPhone doesn't show up in the Finder as a "device" like on a Windows platform, how can I export videos on my iPhone then? The videos don't get recognized in iPhoto and I couldn't find any way to export it in iTunes. Can anyone help me here?

One convenient way is to use the Image Capture utility that comes with the MBA. Connect the iPhone to the MBA with the USB cable and launch Image Capture located in Applications -> Untilities. The iPhone will show up in the sidebar on the left and the videos and photos will be shown. Select and download to desktop or wherever.
iTunes will do it too. In the View menu make sure you have the sidebar enabled. The iPhone will show up under Devices. Click on it and then select the movies tab and your movies should show up for selection and download.
Hope this helps.

Error Message when trying to export video

I've been getting the following error message whenever I try to export video I've edited in Lightroom (picture below).

After updating to PP CC 7.2.1 exported video badly scrambled

I have had no issue exporting a 7 minute film using the Vimeo 1080 codec on PP CC Version 7.0.
I recently updated to the latest, 7.2.1.   I then exported the same exact timeilne, using the same exact Vimeo Codec. After serveral attempts, the last 3 minutes of the exported video are badly scrambled. No audio issue, just video.
I then tried media exporting * Only the troublesome spot from minute 6 to minute 7.   This clip exported perfectly.   This problem only seems to happen when I media export the full 7 minute sequence.
Please find attached images for reference.

Hi Mark,
I'd be glad to provide you with my settings but I think the main issue here is that I had no encoding problems whatsoever with the exact same timeline and encoding settings in version 7.    I literally just updated via Creative Cloud and re-opened my existing project.
In any case, please find screengrab for my settings.   I use the Arri timeline as indidcated by tech support back in version CS5.5 and moving forward. I have also tried the DSLR sequence; same result
Checking max render and previews on/off makes no difference.
The film is scrambled consistently from frame # 8112 to the end of the film.   I tried encoding on two different computers; same result.
If there was an issue with my settings or clips, I would not have gotten great results with the 7.0 encoder.

Cannot export video's from iphoto '08

I want to export videos in mp4 format that were imported from my camera into iphoto '08.
The first problem is that "export..." won't work. I selected the 7 videos, then "Export...". I selected file format. However, it doesn't recognize that anything has been selected and grey's out the "Export" button.
So, I came up with an alternate plan...burn them to a cd. I selected the same 7 videos and then "burn" section from the "share" menu. It prompts me for a cd, which I inserted. Then, I see a report that these 7 video's take 90MB of space...I hit continue and the cd is burned. However, when I look at the cd later(and I have done this twice now), the cd doesn't have any of the videos, but it does contain the 172 photo's that are in the same album. Again, I did this twice. I selected the album, then typed mp4 into the search window, then selected the 7 resulting videos. And the program was telling me it had 7 photos.
I am VERY frustrated that I have found 2 bugs in this software. I used to be able to export video's all day long. Not good.
Since I am complaining now, the only reason I am doing any of this is because I want to give my friends a CD with all the photos and videos from our recent trip. They have a mac...should be piece of cake. It is not, because the video's just sit in iphoto, but I can't do anything with them. I wish slide show would seemlessly integrate photo's and video in order. My Sanyo camera does this, but my Mac doesn't. I tried sending all the photo's and video's to iDVD, and it worked, but that takes hours to do all the rendering...and at the end of the day, the quality isn't as good.....
Please help.
Thanks,
Phil

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

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.
