Exporting a part of a sequence to Quicktime movie!

Is there a way to export a part of a sequence to quicktime movie in FCP?
I come from Premiere world. In premiere there is a work area bar in the timeline; During AVI export it can be set to export clips within work area. That kind of ability seems to be missing in FCP. When I try to export, its exporting entire sequence. Is there a way to limit export area within a sequence?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks henners, I just figured that out myself. Thanks for your help anyways.
Another question, Is there a set-up that I can make so that the clips that are exported to quicktime movie, automatically imported into the project. I know I can manually import the clip. Again, Premiere had the ability to do this. I looked through the preference set-up, didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Exporting only part of the Sequence

I do not have any in and out points on my sequence, but when I export, only part of the sequence exports. I have chosen numerous encoding presets, tried placing in and out points at the beginning and end, but it still does not work.

I've tried exporting through DV NTSC and DVCPRO720p60.
Say if I had a 10 minute sequence, then it'd only export 3/4th of it.

Importing FCE sequence to Quicktime movie to Idvd

I imported a FCE sequence to Quicktime movie, then into iDVD. Where I had made freeze frame images with cross fade transitions in FCE, when i previewed them in iDVD the transitions were "jumpy" in iDVD. Any suggestions?

Try deinterlacing the freeze frames in FCE.

Having difficulty exporting FCE sequence as Quicktime movie

I've completed a couple of short 5-6 minute FCE movies using FCE HD 3.0. I can't get them to export to Quicktime movies for placement on the desk top. Every time I try I get the "General error: Out of disk space" warning. I've got oodles of space on the hard drive. I looked through the manual and on page 853 it talks about managing disk space, stating that I might want to delete old render files. I'm not sure if this is relevant; there aren't that many render files. Anyway, I'm not at all easy about deleting render files any way; what if I want to go back and rework some clips? Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dan,
Use the Finder to check the space available on your system drive. Tell us exactly what size the disk is and how much space is available. ("oodles" doesn't tell us very much)
Also, are you using any external drives. If so, what are they, what size are they, how much free space is on them, and are you connecting them via FireWire or USB.
What version of QuickTime do you have on your iMac? How much RAM?

How to export an IMovie as a small file quicktime movie

I have searched and searched for answers or tutorials explaining how to export an IMovie as a quicktime movie that is small enough for emailing and posting to the internet. If I use the default setting my quicktime movie ends up being over 500MB which is way to large for sharing. I tried exporting using the "custom" or "compression" settings but don't understand what H 264,DV Pal, etc. means.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To get a movie to that size, you can 1) make it shorter. 2) make it a smaller dimension. Like scale it down from 1920x1080 to 320x240 3) Take away quality by reducing the bit rate, reducing the number of key frames, etc. 4) Reduce the frame rate from 30 frames per second down to maybe 15 frames per second. The resulting movie would be postage stamp size and not very good. Use h.264 because it compresses very well.
By far the best way to send a movie is to post it to YouTube or similar site in full resolution and then link to it in your email.

Export 1280x720 sequence to quicktime movie for web

Hi, trying to export a quicktime that is 1280x720 59.94 at photo-jpeg and compress it for viewing/download over then net.
Unfortunately, compressor keeps crashing.
What are the easiest settings to accomplish this with? I've tried exporting a self-contained movie and exporting to compressor from final cut but get the same results.
Thanks for the help!

I typically used H.264 or Sorenson 3. And I use the dimensions 640x360 or 320x180. Try those and see what happens. PhotoJpeg isn't what is typically found on the web.
And I export a self contained file then bring it into compressor. Or use a Compressor Droplet I created. I love those.

Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
In the manual it says:
"Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
Total bit rate: 29,794
My exported file has this format:
Dimensions: 720 x 480
Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,151
I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.

Double check:
There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
Is this what you see?
The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

Exporting to quicktime mov

I have been trying to export a sequence to quicktime mov.
It creates a file which quicktime cannot recognize as a file to play.
I have followed the same process as I always do.
Why would it stop working?

Hi,
What are your sequence settings ? How did you export, Quicktime movie with current settings, Quicktime conversion ?

Export settings for quicktime movie to use in DVD Studio Pro

The workflow:
I created a movie and did extensive sound adjustments in iMovie and a few video edits, and exported it to a quicktime format:
compression H.264
Quality: High
Frame reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 1280x720
Since then I upgraded to FCS, and tried to create a DVD with DVD SP and import the movie, and I get this error:
Import error:
One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are that they do not match the current project's video standard or their file format is not supported.
I'm fairly sure I have matching video standard...and the file format has always been supported before.
I imported the quicktime (.mov) file to FCP and added some edits, recreated the chapter markers, and early on there was a pop-up that said my movie format did not match the project settings, so I checked the "okay" to adjust the video file to match.
When I finished, I exported the file from FCP to a quicktime movie with the "current settings" that have always worked with DVD Studio Pro before, and I'm getting the same error.
I don't know where the problem is. Both the original movie I created in iMovie and the movie I recreated in FCS will import to iDVD. I wanted the better quality production from DVDSP....
I no longer have the iMovie project file. (I thot I was done.) I do have the original footage, but I'm already three days in and hoping to avoid starting over.
I would sure appreciate any help!
Thanks!

The specifications you listed are the problem.
I can't comment on iMovie -don't use it personally.
From FCP, you would export a self contained movie using the current Timeline settings (not H.264 ever)
Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your movie fits into. This will produce a MPEG 2 video file and an AC3 audio file. Bring both into DVDSP and author.
A DVD video is always standard def 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).
Converting the output from FCP to H.264 is adding an unneeded compression stage that will compromize quality -because DVD assets are always MPEG 2 / AC3. Even if DVDSP accepts that H.264 file, it gets transcoded again using DVDSP's own compression system.
All of this is covered in the DVDSP user manual. Take the time to read it. DVD authoring is complicated if you just jump in and start poking around, simple if you take the time to understand the basics.

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.

Audio dropout in long quicktime movie

I have a long movie (8 hours) that I've compressed and exported in Final Cut Pro as a Quicktime movie. After the export I end up with a 2gb Quicktime file that plays in quicktime player. So far so good. The video part of the quicktime movie is great. But at around the 6 hour mark the audio cuts out completely. The video keeps playing fine, but no audio. I've tried 3 separate times now and each time the audio cuts out around 6 hours in.
What gives? Is there some maximum length in quicktime for audio or something?
Thanks,
-Rusty

Hi!
Can you tell us the bits rate, frame rate and other setting options that you have given for the Video and Audio during your hinting process.
thanks

Need to open .fcp project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

Hdv quicktime movie xport settings

does anyone know the best export settings for a quicktime movie?
ie what compresion type and what export size settings.
I want to quicktime movie to b of broadcast standard.
im using a canon hv10 with imovie HD 6 on a mac book pro.
footage shot in HDV pal
thanks

... I'm not familiar with HiDef, nor "broadcast standards fullfilling QT files" (never heard of that.. which broadcaster accepts files??)
anyhow:
in Export/Quicktime/Expert Setting/ you'll find under Options the 'Apple Intermediate Codec'.
this is the codec, you're iM project is actual made of (iM converts HiDef imports automatically into that to make them editable...) .
choose AIC and in the option's drop-down the HDV settings you're working with 720p/1080i ...
that will create a really huge file (~60GB/h) ... but your 'best quality' ...
bsides: why not simply playout back to tape? best and easiest process.... (?)

Audio mangled when outputting to uncompressed QuickTime movie.

I'm trying to export video and audio to an uncompressed QuickTime movie. (8-bit video, 48KHz Linear PCM audio). I'm having problems with the audio. My music tracks are coming out fine, but the voiceover track is messed up. It's there, but the volume jumps from barely audible to normal volume to back again about once a second. When I play it in Final Cut Pro, it sounds fine.
Same results whether I output via Compressor or directly from Final Cut Pro (version 5.1.4).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The problem turned out to be a very strange one. This is a project that I haven't opened in over a year; in that time, I've switched Macs, going from PowerPC to Intel. Turns out there were filters applied to all of the dialogue tracks that were clipping them. Either:
1) those filters weren't there before, and they were mysteriously added due to some bug in FCPro
2) they were put there deliberately by me, but didn't used to behave in a way that clipped the dialogue.
2 seems more likely than 1. Removing those filters made it work.
Thanks.

Uploading Quicktime Movies to iWeb

I've exported a photo slideshow with music to Quicktime movie format, but even though I've selected the small size file, when I try to upload it to iWeb, I get a message saying that the file's too big. I can't figure out how to make it any smaller, and it already looks to me like the quality is compromised -- the pictures are blurry in the smaller file size, and I'd like people to be able to view it in a larger window. Suggestions? Thanks!

Just because iWeb says your file is too big does mean that you can't use it. It just means that it will take longer to download for the end user.
The file size selected as being "too big" is arbitrary. It really all depends on the speed of the internet connection used to download the file.
The best thing to do is publish it and see for yourself if it takes too long to download.
One of the things you can do is to put a text introduction on the same page for viewers to read while the movie downloads. As long as people have something to hold their attention they will wait a bit longer.
