Exporting a movie with time code when time code doesn't exist

Title says it all. I need to export a 150 frame movie from CG rendered frames that contain no time code so that I can find which frames to re-render

I do not wish to create a time code effect. I need to generate an actual time code that will display in an exported movie.
The latter is achieved with the former.
But I would ask, why can't you just watch the timeline? Why export at all? I mean, 150 frame movie is only 5 seconds long.

Exporting Reference Movies with Lion and QT X

Has anybody else had issues exporting Reference Movies from FCP7 under Lion?
When we open a Reference Movie created with FCP7/Lion in QT X 10.1 (the version that ships with Lion), we're only able to see the first frame of the movie, followed by black/blank video, and audio only.
Curiously, QT7 (on Lion) and QT X 10.0 (on Snow Leopard) are able to play these movies without a problem. However, a number of 3rd-party applications and devices that we use in our facility (most notably an Omneon Spectrum) choke on the reference movies in a similar manner to QT X 10.1.
We've got a support ticket open with Omneon, although they claim to have never heard of the problem, and are currently picking their way through the issue as well. However, there are scattered reports of others who are having similar problems.
For the sake of thoroughness, it's worth mentioning that this is a brand-new Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.2, and FCP 7.0.0; both fresh installs (apparently downgrading to SL is unsupported on this machine). We tried patching FCP to 7.0.3 with Pro Application Update 2010-02, which did not resolve the problem. We've since reverted to 7.0.0, to rule out the patch as the culprit. The reference movies in question do not contain any edits that would require a render, and everything's stored on a NAS that's accessible to the whole office (hence the fact that we're able to view the files on our Snow Leopard machines.
Picking apart the reference movie using Apple's Atom Inspector shows one curious detail in the alias data inside 'dref' atom inside of the reference movie (which is how QT figures out where the original media is). Rather than being a simple file pointer, the alias actually contains a whole bunch of information, including the "relative" path to the video data, relative to the original location of the reference movie, as well as the absolute path of that file, starting from the root of the filesystem. Both of these paths are presented in "Mac" and "Unix" formats, ie:
Mac: volume:folder1:folder2:filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
Key difference is the use of colons, rather than slashes to separate folders in the path. At least, that was the key difference prior to Lion. We've noticed that, while the SL machines export reference movies with paths that resemble the above, our Lion machine generates:
Mac: volume:folder1: folder2: filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
(Notice the spaces)
When we attempt to play the movies with our Omneon applications or in QT X 10.1, our NAS throws a whole bunch of 'File not Found' errors. Presumably, those spaces are the culprit. Removing the spaces with a hex editor completely mangles the QT movie, and renders it compltetely unplayable.
Unfortunately, the alias data inside the dref atom doesn't appear to be a standard Mac OS alias, and the only documentation of the alias file format (linked above) is hilariously out of date. Presently, the format is undocumented, and it appears that developers are discouraged from interacting with the files directly. In other words, I have no way of knowing whether or not the spaces are actually significant, or are a completely innocuous and documented part of the file format.
Has anybody encountered anything similar, or found a solution? I'm at a bit of a dead-end here, and would welcome any advice.

I totally understand where you're coming from; Apple's support of some of QuickTime's more advanced features has unfortunately been waning for some time now.
Avoiding the buggy parts of the program is always a good strategy, although the ability to quickly export reference movies is something that is absolutely vital to our workflow. Simply put, losing these files is an absolute dealbreaker.
Two things seem to be going on... FCP on Lion appears to be generating slightly malformed reference movies, and QT X 10.2 seems to be freaking out when it tries to play back those movies (while prior versions are seemingly able to work around the problem). I suppose this could have something to do with the introduction/evolution of QTKit and AV Foundation on Lion, although I'm surprised that this would be affecting FCP7, which was built around older APIs.

I'm trying to organize my movies with folders. When I click "new folder", it either doesn't add any folder or adds a new folder as a "subfolder" of an existing folder. Help!

Thank you for the suggestion - I tried it but still didn't work. When I click "New Folder" it gives me the pop-up to name the new folder, but doesn't put a new folder anywhere in my Project Library.

Export QuickTime movie with Compressor running in background

I've rummaged through the forums many times to figure out the absolute fastest way to get an FCP sequence compressed for DVD Studio Pro while maintaining the best quality. I always seem to come up with:
Export QuickTime Movie (not self contained) --> Compressor (DVD best quality settings)
This seems to work fine. I am currently exporting sequences in HDV 1080i60 and they take an extremely long time to export into QT movies. Because of that, I am editing a sequence, waiting for it to export, then dropping it into Compressor. At this point, FCP is available for editing again while Compressor is working, so I repeat the process. However, when I export to QT from FCP while Compressor is still running in the background it seems to take much longer to export.
Here is my question:
*Am I doing anything wrong by allowing Compressor to work while I am trying to export QT movies from FCP to the same drive?*
Is FCP actually taking longer to export, or is that my imagination? Would it be faster if I only did one at a time, or should it take the same amount of time either way? Am I putting the data on my final movies at risk by doing these things at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated as this is a time sensitive project. I am working in both FCP 5 and 6 on two different computers. 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB.

Compressor takes a lot of system resources. It will slow the computer down in other tasks.
Because Compressor can run unattended, why not take advantage of that?
Do your regular work that needs you to be there and run the Compressor Batch overnight or at other times when the system is idle.
Compressor's default destination for its processed files is the same directory as the original -writing the files to a different drive might help, at least that way your media drive is not reading and writing at the same time.

Exporting Quicktime .mov with audio

I searched for a solution to my problem for a while and haven't found any so I felt I'd finally ask.
I am exporting a movie in Premiere Pro 2.0 as a .mov. Yet everytime I export the audio quality is awful. The audio plays fine within premiere, and the video exports perfectly. I've tried uncompressed audio, and the result is a loud static sound. I've tried multiple compressors (oblivious to which I should be using) none of which offered good results (sometimes it was even silent). What settings should I be using? (By the way, the audio in the scene is .mp3 and .wav, but I felt using the uncompressed setting would be find since I wouldn't be recompressing the audio)
I'm sure this is a very basic issue that has been addressed multiple times, but I couldn't find a thread or resource on the internet that helped with this issue I'm having. Thank you for any help you can offer, I appreciate it.

I use the same settings, as you, with one exception - instead of 8-bit, choose 16-bit for the Sample Depth.
I also dislike using MP3 as a source. With the exception of tiny SFX files, I always convert these to PCM/WAV (Uncompressed) 48KHz 16-bit, before Import. That does NOT restore all the data lost with the MP3 compression (I hate the sound with MP3, but that's a different topic), but it gives me the best source to edit. I use Adobe Audition, but the free Audacity does a great job of this.
Hope that the 16-bit does the trick for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what are you using to play the resulting MOV?

Flight log time calulation when time passes to the next day.

I am converting an excel spreadsheet to numbers for use on my iPad. I have a flight log that records various flight information. One of the calculations is flight time. Currently, using excel, I am able to put a start time in a cell, let's say c6, with a value of 19:09. The next cell over, let's say, d6 has the ending time with a value of 01:03. Therefore, the flight time calculated should be 5hrs 54 min, or 5.9 hours. I would need numbers to calculate the total flight time. Note that the date has changed, the flight departed at 19:09 and landed after midnight, herein lies the problem. If the flight departs and lands the same day I have no issues, however, when the flight lands the next day the formula is incorrect. If it's any help here is the excel formula I use;
=IF(H6>0,(IF(H6>0,(IF(H6<I6,-(((H6-INT(H6))24)-((I6-INT(I6))*24)),((((I6-H6)*1)24)+24))),)),"-")
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone in the Phoenix area may get a free flight if you provide a great deal of assistance.
Thanks Ryan

Assuming that Date and Time values are handled the same way in Numbers for iPad as in Numbers '09,
You need to include the Date information for times of days other than the day they are entered.
Any cell displaying either Time or Date information actually contains a Date and Time value. If you entered only the Time portion of that value, the Date portion is automatically set to Today's Date.
If you enter only the Date portion of the value, the Time portion is automatically set to 00:00:00 (midnight).
So for a flight starting today (July 29) at 19:09, and ending tomorrow (July 30) at 01:03, Numbers will return a negative result if no date is specified for the landing time (unless that time is entered tomorrow, of course).
Solution 1:
Format C6 and D6 to show Time and Date, and enter both where the date involved is not the date the information is entered.
Solution 2:
If all details are entered on the same day AND no flight lasts more than 23h 59m, the following formula will correct for ending times 'earlier' than starting times:
=IF(D6>C6,D6-C6,D6+1-C6)

Quicktime no longer exporting my movies with file extensions

Hi all, QT is no longer exporting or saving movies with file extensions. The only way i can view extensions is to turn on all extensions in finder which means i get .app in my apps folder which i find looks naff, have i changed something to cause this?
Cheers

In the export or save dialog windows is a check box to "hide" the file extension.
Remove that check mark.

Export a Movie with with the chart only - no background

I need to integrate charts into a training film I am doing and I am having a problem. I need to export the chart to QT as the chart only so I can import it into Final Cut and use it as an overlay on top of other footage.
I understand transparency and "No background" come into play here be no matter how I export the chart/QT move has a background.
Is this even possible...how do I do this?
Thanks a lot.
M

1. You MUST set the background of each slide to NONE. It will look black I think (possibly white) but make absolutely sure it's set to NONE for every slide.
2. You must check the include transparency function in the QT export window
3. You MUST MUST MUST choose either PNG or Animation as the QT codec, and then you MUST choose Millions+ (not just Millions) as the color in the setting for that codec.
That will get you a QT movie with included alpha channel and no background.
If you need more details on how to get to those screens just post back.

How can I export a movie with audio that I have edited in logic 9 to a quicktime movie

I imported a quicktime movie into logic and added audio and effects but when i export it the original audio from the quicktime movie is still there even though it doesn't sound in logic!

Hi
One of teh final steps in the Export to Movie process is a dialog box where one can select which of the audio tracks embedded within the movie are included.
You must actively de-select those tracks that you do NOT want to include in the Export.

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

Error code ws-36787-1 doesn't exist??? *****?

So i linked my Facebook account and uploaded my profile pic,After a week i lost all real names and pictures from all my friends and i cant use my own anymore.Got an email from scee saying it doesn't warrant a punishment, yet i constantly get error code ws-36787-1 whenever i even try to send a real name or close friend request and when i search the error code pages on here the code doesn't exist???? I've sent a message to sony but they just ignore me.Can any1 help a desperate girl out, please.?

Ask Playstation said this about it to someone else - https://twitter.com/askplaystation/status/582793804635377664 It's worth a try I guess, it can't hurt anyway. Did you get the email from sony as a reply to one you'd sent or they just emailed you? (OP)

Premiere CS6 - keyframed scaling is not working with RED footage when Time Remapping is used

Hello,
My system is: Win7, Premiere CS6 (6.0.5), 12GB RAM, etc...
My project settings: I'm using 1080p RED timeline.
Steps:
Using 4K RED footage with "Scale to frame size" disabled after placing the clip on timeline.
Under effects time remapping is set to 50%.
Motion->Scale is keyframed from 50% to 100% to achieve zoom in effect while preserving image quality.
Clip stays at 50% Scale ignoring the keyframes.
Problem is present during preview and in the exported file. I tried with CUDA enabled and disabled and problem persists.
If I turn off Time Remapping, then the clip responds to scaling keyframes.
Is there any workouround or can this bug be fixed?
Thanks!

Thanks.
This seems to work but I had to apply TR to the nested sequence and scaling to the original clip.
Otherwise scaling operations are messed up.
This situation reminds me of after effects and effects processing order.

No sound when I export my movies with QuickTime for windows.

Using QuickTime Pro for windows and getting no sound on my exported movies. Won't even give me the option of adjusting the sound on options then movie settings. Any ideas? Thanks...

QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
MPEG Streamclip (free) can.
