Exporting 16:9 help please!

I just recently got Final Cut Studio 2 and have been working on a short trailer for an independent film.
Just for starters: I shot everything in widescreen with a Sony PD170 and imported everything through Final Cut. The trailer is all put together but I'm having trouble exporting and have it show in Quicktime or w/e in true 16:9 widescreen. In Final Cut, it looks great and things seem to be all in widescreen, btu when exporting or trying to, I'll open the Quicktime file and it looks like its in 4:3 and there's no letterbox. I've gone through settings and everything clicking letterbox/widescreen but it doesn't show me the true bars when I open the Quicktime file.
Any ideas!? This is driving me crazy because I worked with Avid a lot, but love Final Cut and I just want a decent looking widescreen quicktime file to put online/DVD!
Thank you!

You're giving me instruction for DVD Studio Pro, but I posted my question on the FCP forum. I'm having trouble exporting my file from FCP and have not even gotten far enough to get into DVD Studio Pro yet.
Here is a further description of the problems:
The movie looks fine in FCP. When I created the sequence "Easy Setup" I selected DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic. As soon as I did that, the 4 x 3 windows that were in FCP previously were replaced with wide 16 x 9 windows. I then captured the footage from my DV tape shot with the Canon XL2 set for 24p and 16 x 9 settings on the camera. After capturing the footage all looks fine. Looks like 16 x 9 wide frame.
But....here is where I start having problems....
What do I do next? Normally when I work with 4 x 3 DV, I just select "Export/Quicktime Movie/Current Settings". But if I do that with this project, I end up with a 4 x 3 movie when I view it in Quicktime. So I tried it again. I selected "Export/Quicktime Movie/DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic". The resulting Quicktime movie still appears in a 4 x 3 window. When I look at the specs for the Quicktime movie it says it is 720 x 480. This is 4 x 3.
Should I be exporting with Compressor instead of straight from FCP? Why is the movie showing up in a 4 x 3 window after exporting when in FCP the windows are wide and narrow? Did my camera actually shoot 4 x 3 video and just insert bars at the top and bottom to give it the "appearance" of wide when it really isn't? Can someone please give me some enlightenment please?
Please excuse my ignorance. I am not a professional in the video field as most of you probably are. I am a firefighter who is helping out my fire department create training videos using the XL2 that the department purchased. I am their "expert", even though I am just a self-taught hobbyist who has only worked with DV in 4 x 3 aspect ratio in the past....and I'm not all that knowledgeable even with that. I would really appreciate some help. I am trying to read through the material, but it is a little challenging for me....and the department wants this project finished soon. Thanks a lot if anyone can help me.

No .mov option in Export movie. Help, please!!

Hi there,
I am using flash professional, the newest version on Windows 8. I downloaded it a few days ago, and when I try to export the file as a movie there is no .mov option.
I have QuickTime downloaded, I've tried saying it as SWF and converting it but the conversion softwares don't work too well.
I downloaded QuickTime AFTER downloading Flash, should I reinstall flash?
Please please help!

are you clicking file>export>export video?

IMovie 08 v 7.1.1 - Can't export - Error -108 - Help Please!

Please can anyone help?
I'm a new Mac user and have just imported and edited my first iMovie. I tried to export it (assuming I could then burn it to a DVD?) but never got that far.
I'm attempting to export it as a 'large movie' to Finder.
I get an error telling me it has been 'unable to prepare the movie for publishing due to an error (error code -108)'
Please has anyone got any ideas if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks!
D

Looking up error -108, I got a lot of hits on goggle about memory errors returning error -108.
On this hunch, I simply rebooted my Mac Pro.
I opened iMovie 7.1.1, and exported the same file, no problem.
So it must be a memory leak or some sort of memory related issue. (I have 4 gigs of ram in my machine.

IMovie won't let me export my video HELP PLEASE QUICK

So I have the iPad 3, 64gb Wifi + Cellular and I have iMovie on my iPad. So I've made a 30 second video, with no music and I clicked to export it on my camera roll and it's said "An Error Occurred During Export" or something along the lines,and so I tried doing that with the other options, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube and all said they could not export. All the footage was taken on my iPad and its not working. I then downloaded another app and it did the same thing. I'm so frustrated. Yes I have gone through my privacy settings and turned on iMovie it was already on. Yes I have done everything everyone else has done, but this is not working. can someone please help me !!!!.

Hello RamoziummOxide,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I would also be concerned if I could not export my project I made in iMovie. You have done several good troubleshooting steps. At this point, I would troubleshoot the iMovie app in general:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
There are a couple of things to keep in mind regarding that article. Step 4 guides in you restarting the application, but I would quit any open application at that point. Also step 6 states to reinstall the application, but before you do that, you will want to backup the content of iMovie to iTunes before you do that because your movie will be deleted if you delete the application. I would skip this step if you are not able to export to iTunes. You can find steps to export your movie to iTunes here:
Send to iTunes

I hope this helps! I know how much time and work goes into iMovie projects.
Best,

Sound problem with QuickTime .dv files exported from iMovie ~ help please

Hi
I have been working for ages on an important project which is intended to wind-up as a numbered edition DVD, limited to 50 copies.
When I worked in iMovie HD 5 this NEW PROBLEM didn't arise: I did what I thought was the right thing and bought iLife '06, then upgraded from the Apple site, so now I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1, iDVD 6.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.0.4.
I've designed my own menus and the procedure as most anyone will know [thanks iCreate magazine!] is...you have to 'export' (or now 'share') the iMovie to QuickTime (or with QuickTime) which produces a .dv file which you then drag-and-drop into iDVD.
I've got 4 of these .dv files for the start-up and some menus.
THE PROBLEM IS whereas the sound (it's actually music) has been faded out (in synch with the image) ~ in iMovie everything seems fine ~ but THE QUICKTIME .dv FILES HAVE AN ANNOYING LITTLE "FLARE-UP" OF MUSIC AT THE END OF THEM.
Imported into iDVD, in preview: sure enough! ~ you hear the annoying, untidy-sounding snips at the end.
It's ruining my project ~ please help, someone!

I am having the exact problem, it's a real show stopper.
I have tested hardware, software, media as below.
Tested on
1 Intel 17inch iMac
2 G4 AGP 450 + 1.2Ghz Model
Each have a fresh install of iLife 06 on
Each have been tested with different project files.
Differnet music files
The issue seems to be with apples iLife software to me.
I am on the phone to apple right now, they only surgest I create a new user as it generates new prefs, but the above test has already rulled out preference files!
Also rebuilding and reinstalling, but again the above test has rulled that out as the 3 machines were freshly built.
I have already upgraded my graphics card in my machine at home to sort out preview problems with iMovie, hopefully it's not going to be an expensive audio card aswell.
If any 1 can throw any light on this please do as apple support can't.
Regards
Paul

LR4 no exported video change-help please

Exporting from LR4 video there is no change to adjusted clip. I went through the clips from the the 5D mark II before I had LR4 in Quicktime and trimed and saved them. Made adjustments to the jpeg still. and synced the jpeg preset and exported. Video exported with no change. Using 2.7 GHz Intel Corei5 10.6.8 12 GB of ram. Please help or guide me to a disscussion that I haven't been able to find among the many.

Original :Exports the video in the same format, and at the same speed, as the original clip.
under this Adobe help link exporting video - it doesn't say anything about not exporting the file without changes. Why would I want to export a copy of the video without changes made in LR?
When exporting as H264 I see a change. S0 "Original" means just what it says" and "Of course - same as re-saving a JPEG" isn't answering the question of exporting the video as original not exporting with lightroom changes.
Is the DPX format lossless to the "original" or is the export choice of save as Original not functioning correctly, saving the files with the same format, and same speed as the original with LR adjustment?
It looks like the DPX format is according to this link
http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000178.shtml
under the Quality and Functionality Factors subsection isn' t for use in desktop PC applications. It seems that DPX is for archieveing much like the DNG or so it would seem in what I have found so far.
All in all is the DPX format what should be used for lossless work flow or is the save as Original not functioning the way that it should?

Cannot export iMovie project - Help please

When I try to share the project I've worked on for over a week, I get the following ...
However, that event is in the iMovie library.
The only thing that happened differently this time is that I mistakenly deleted the event files from the event library before I exported the project to save disk space. But once I found out I needed the event clips in iMovie in order to share the project, I found out the clips are still in User > Movies > iMovie Events > British Isles Cruise 2013, so I imported them back into my Event Library in iMovie. So the Event and all the clips are back in iMovie, but I'm still getting the above error, as if iMovie doesn't realize the event is still there, and I cannot share or do anything with my project other than view it in iMovie.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

you haven't renamed any files/folders?
just dragged them out of the Events folder, and back, right?
try this …
quit iMovie
goto Library/Preferences and trash com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
launch iMovie again ....
How do I trash the iMovie Preferences File? and Why?

EXPORTING TO OMF HELP PLEASE

Hey,
All of a sudden the audio I export to omf is playing back distorted when played back through the new OMF file? Can anybody help? It has previosuly worked.

Had the same problems as Albert8119. My presentation had five slides of varying length, each with multiple builds, also of varying length. Had a music presentation in the background of the presentation, together with individual voice-overs to each slide. As a Keynote presentation it was fine; so much so that the client asked for both QT movie and iDVD copies on disk. Exporting to either proved to be an absurdly complex task (it should be easy!) as timing in builds and transitions went awry. Eventually, after much experimentation, I found that lengthening the builds (often by several seconds) resulted in excellent QT movie and IDVD. It is a pity that such an excellent presentation program (leaving Powerpoint for dead) should come up short at that point. Apple can do better than that. Next time I'll try King_Leo's solution.

FCE not exporting color corrections (help please)

I see there are some really experienced Final Cut folks here. Anyone care to help with this glitch?
I've imported AVCHD footage from a Canon Vixia in 1920x1080. I edit it in Final Cut Express. I add Color Correction and Brightness / Contrast Filters. Then I export it as regular Quicktime (no compression). For some reason the brightness changes get exported but the color correction changes do not. I have tried rendering the footage before export. No change. It only exports brightness edits.
How can I fix this?
thank you for your help!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
What are your sequence settings? Are you seeing the color changes in your canvas before export?

Export to NTSC help please

Hi,
I've finished my project in PAL and done a quicktime export. I need to do an NTSC dvd, so do I have to do another QT export for NTSC or can I do the conversion safely in Compressor with the PAL copy?
Also when doing exports to NTSC, is it simply a case of selecting NTSC as the output format or are there more settings that need to be tweaked?
Thanks

I question whether iskysoft will convert all the elements to another format.
Copy everything-yes / remove protection -yes / Change PAL to NTSC- maybe
I didnt' see it listed in the features page I looked at nor did I see anything about changing the region code of the disc. More than likely you will end up with a Region 2 or 0 DVD-/+R that will only play on a computer or in a region free DVD player.
PAL and NTSC menu elements(motion or not) are different sizes. Asking a program to resize and copy elements "automatically" and have them look right and function right in another format is a tall order.

On external monitor: GOOD. after render & dvd: BAAAAD. help, please!

Hi, I edited a 60i NTSC video from a canon XL2, and it looks fine on the external monitor (TV), the FCP preview and everything. It even looks good when I export a QT mov with no compression.
But as soon as I burn it on iDVD and play it on a DVD player, the whole interlacing business goes terribly, terribly wrong.
I've tried all possible exporting settings, but it doesn't work. Should I de-interlace the clips? I've gathered from reading the forums that it might help, but it sounds like a desperate solution, since the text should be interlaced but not the video?
I mean... what did I do wrong? Isn't ot supposed to just work straight-through with the NTSC DV Easy Setup and changing only to "None" on the compressing settings at export?
Any help, please? Anybody?

oh, OK.
For exporting, I used the Export>Quicktime movie, just like you said, using the current setting (i.e. Compression:None)
The DVD player was connected to a PAL TV, but it's OK because the DVD player can read anything. I know because I've watched NTSC as well as PAL dvd movies before.
The Canon XL2 the Mac is connected to, via Firewire, is NTSC, connected via RCA to the PAL TV. Which means the signal I'm watching is Black & White... (I know this sounds WEIRD)... but it's O.K. because what I'm really checking as I edit is the interlacing problem that I got when playing the DVD on the dvd player.... : the BAD problem.
How bad? Really bad. Any sudden movement, or panning of objects with vertical lines, like a painting or a building looks all wobbly and curvey and blurry and wrong, which is unnacceptable for the project I'm doing, as it is a professional work (Meaning that I'm charging money for it, despite the crazy assemble of different products and formats I'm using).
I've gotten things that look good before, but never on Final Cut Pro.. I'm new to the program, and to Mac, and this is the first video I'm exporting to a DVD on this platform.

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

Help please problem with export

I had some problems with safari on my imac (OS X) so I did some "repairs" I ended up deleting some keychains and I believe that is what cause the problem I'm having. However I don't know how to fix it.
When I try to export RAW images from my Lacie rugged external hard drive to the desktop into jpg I get this error...
"An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)"
I have a deadline very soon (in about an hour) and need help please.

Fantastic, these things always happen at the most inconvenient time!!!
When you've got the job out of the way reboot the Mac and try the export to desktop again. If it is still broken then in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions on the Mac and La Cie.
Who do I send the bill to???

May we know the database version of your exported and imported database ? I believe that , you trying to import into lower version of database. If yes, then loging as a sys and run the script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql .

HT1329 Hi All - My hard drive failed and I am trying to move all my music from my ipod to the new hard drive. I am operating on Win 7 64 bit. Can anyone help please?

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
Thanks

I used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.

Exporting 16:9 help please!
