Exporting clip to quicktime

I am building a poerpoint presentation and i want to export clips to each slide. How do I save individual clips as their own to export the one clip and not the whole movie at the same time. I split the video into the individual clips but dont know what to do next.

hi adam,
welcome to the  board
select clip by clicking on it
choose share
in the export dialog, lower left, is a checkbox "selected clips only"
boom! done...
hope that helps................

Poor Quality in Wide-Screen When Exporting HD to Quicktime

Hello all...
I'm working on a fairly large project in iMovie HD with wide-screen footage from my Sony HDR-HC3 and have hit a wall.
I can't seem to get a good result when I export clips into Quicktime in a wide-screen format. They are a bit choppy & you can see bits of some horizontal lines. The same video exported in full-screen VGA looks great. Any tips...? I basically just want to make good quality QT movies watchable on my computer that maintain the original aspect ratio (and LOOK like they do in iMovie!)
The entire project is around 100GB and I currently have almost 40GB of free space. Any help appreciated!

What do you need to end up with? Just a file to play back or burn to a DVD or make a web stream or?

Exporting clips from one file

I am trying to export clips in Quicktime format onto a cd for someone else to edit.
I imported a sequence from FCE that appeared as one clip in iMovie 06. I split the clips. There are 32 separate clips now. I need to copy these onto a cd so that someone else can edit them into a movie. When I tried copying them, the clips appeared as one file NOT 32 separate clips.

.. a bit exotic, that workflow.. ? why not using FCE for that task..
in iM:
select/'highlight' the clip, goto export, check the box 'selected clips only', choose FullQuality or whatever quality.. done.
note: a CD fits 3secs of dv.. probably a dataDVD is better, an external Harddrive best practice..

Exporting Flash Files (which contain embedded movie clips) to Quicktime!

Since the recent Quicktime upgrade to 7.1.3 I have had trouble with the
animations I've made in Flash and exported to Quicktime. Most of the time,
my flash animations require flash movie clips embeded in the flash timeline.
In the past, when I have exported these flash animations as Quicktime files,
there is no problems, but now, since the upgrade, the export does not play
back properly, and it is obvious that Quicktime is unhappy with these
embedded clips within the flash timeline. Is there a way around this
problem? A way for me to maintain embedded movie clips in my timeline and
still export a working Quicktime file!?!

I've never mastered Flash but I know a lot about how QuickTime works.
I do know that some Flash features are limited to specific "publish" versions and some newer ones are not supported in older publish states.
Could you export two files (background and focus object) and test the actions?
QuickTime uses "layers" (lower layer numbers are on the "top"). Adding multiple layers to a .mov file is easy with Pro but Flash tracks that contain mouse actions must be on the top layer. If the track layer is behind another it may still appear (via transparency) but not be able to hold mouse actions.
One of my "movies" that uses Flash tracks and sprites:

Should I export captured clips as Quicktime movies?

Do I need to export my captured clips as Quicktime movies if I want to import them as source clips in other projects?
I had been importing directly from the capture scratch folder, but this resulted in mono audio tracks, rather than stereo. Everything else looked fine...
This problem has been driving me nuts...perhaps this is the explanation.

I figured it out elsewhere.

Why is file size of exported clip so large?

I have a movie clip in MPEG-4 format, 3 minutes in duration, 720x400. I ripped it (using Handbrake) from a DVD I own. Let's call this clip Clip A. I wanted it to be smaller, so I used Quicktime Pro 6.5.2 to export it. Let's call the exported clip Clip AE (E for exported). Clip AE has these properties:
Compression: Sorenson Video 3
Quality: High
Frame rate: 15
Width x Height: 310 x 200
Sound format: QDesign Music 2
Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
Channels: Mono
File Size: 5.5 MB
Great. That's just what I wanted. Now I go to a second movie clip I have in MPEG-4 format. This Clip B is only 90 seconds in duration, 720x400. I export it to Clip BE. Clip BE has these properties:
Compression: Sorenson Video 3
Quality: High
Frame rate: 15
Width x Height: 310 x 200
Sound format: QDesign Music 2
Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
Channels: Mono
FILE SIZE: 25.8 MB
In both exports I set the Key Frame Rate and Data Rate to automatic. So, everything is the same except Clip BE, which is half as long in duration as Clip AE, is 5 times larger in file size.
I'm no expert at using QT Pro, but this result just does not make sense to me. Why is the second exported clip 5 times larger than the first one. I wanted to email both of them to my wife at work as a little surprise, but the second one is way too big for my email account. How can I get the file size of that second clip down to the size of the first one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iMac G5, iBook (dual USB) G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The second clip probably has more detail or motion than the first.
Open Clip AE and choose "Get Info." Note the data rate of the video.
Now export clip B again, but instead of setting the data rate to automatic, set it to the same number as Clip AE's data rate.
You will lose video quality, but the file should come out smaller.

Audio not working properly on exporting keynote to Quicktime

Hello everybody,
I've created a Keynote presentation, with voiceover. It runs perfectly when launched in keynote, standalone, but as I try to export it to quicktime, the audio from an embedded video clip (just one out of 3 clips embedded in the whole presentation) stops after a few words (while the other work perfectly).
I'm going nuts! I tried saving the file afresh under different name, redoing the voiceover, tossing and reinserting that clip that stops, and save again, no luck!
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
thanks,

Hello, I have the same problem, my Quicktime movie has some of the audio files but not others. This is for a professional job so the delay while I try various settings is not helping my cause. I thought Quicktime was a well-proven solution!

Error when merging large clips in QuickTime

I am trying to merge two 2-hour clips into a 4-hour clip in QuickTime (OS X 10.7.2). If I combine very short clips and export for iPad all works. But the long clip combination generates an error "The operation not supported for this media." What is the problem? Is there a size limit I don't know about? I can create the large (4 hour) film in Quicktime and I can watch it. But I can't export the result. Anyone have an answer? [The two long clips were generated by HandBrake for Apple TV2 and the clips work everywhere they should.]
Thanks for any advice or help.

But the long clip combination generates an error "The operation not supported for this media." What is the problem? Is there a size limit I don't know about?
What is the encoded resolution and file size of each file? While HandBrake generates iPad files using "Large File" addressing, the QT X player may or may not be programmed to use this mode for smaller resolutions based on the contextually adaptive nature of the preset. Just a guess, but it is possible the QT X player may refuse to "export" the content if the target file is projected to exceed 4 GBs or exceeds the available memory required to perform the processing of the files.
If true, then depending on the original source files' compression format(s) and apps available, I might try one of the following:
1) Create a merged "reference" file containing the two source files using QT 7 Pro or create a single "merged" file from the two source files in a single wrapper and then use HandBrake to make a single conversion/export to the target iPad compression format.
2) Use QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip to save the data in the two M4V files to a single MOV file (without recompressing the data) and checking to see if this file can be imported/managed by iTunes for use on your iPad.
3) Try a lower resolution export from QT X to see if this obviates the error message.

Issue : How to get better definition of fonts/typography in Keynote when exporting to HD Quicktime ?

Hello,
I understand there are no possibilities to "add" a vector button to future keynote allowing crisper and smoother fonts. However, when writing texts with effects in a Keynote presentation, and exporting it to Quicktime , whatever the resolutions chosen and clors and settings, still,effects are smooths, but fonts/typography/texts are not clean, crisp and when using a big display in full screen , the .mov or .mpeg4 outcome still always displays poor resolution for text.
Anyone could suggest something ? I want to be able to choose my texts effects on Keynote, while securing an outstanding fonts/texts resolution and apperance when in HD movie, quicktime or else.
Thanks a million for any suggestions guys !

I have several video clips from iStockPhoto. I don't know what camera's/settings were used, but know that they are all 640x360 px and vary between 25 fps and 30 fps. I also have 3 still images that I have insterted that I formatted to be 640x360 to keep everything the same size. Everything appears correct when viewing the project as I've built it. I'm attaching a few screen shots of the most recent settings for export, though these are not the only that I have tried. Everything comes out with the same result.
I can't insert screen shots of my settings for some reason (?) but here is some info on my most recent try. I chose to export as a Microsoft DV AVI. Then in the Video options I'm using the DV NTSC codec. For size, I chose the D1/NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2) option.
As for other times I've tried this, there are only 2 other codecs to choose from when saving as a DV AVI. I've tried both of them too. Everything has had the same result. I've tried a Quicktime file as well.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to the best file/codec/setting combination?
Thanks,

Can I export clips with the poster frame already set?

Does anyone know how to do this? -
I want to set custom poster frames in FCP and have them remain as the set poster frames in the mov clips that I export so I don't have to open the individual clips in QuickTime and re-set the poster frames from there.
Thanks for any input!

Apparently the low-resolution preview that InDesign creates on first placing the PDF does not store a transparent background. If I recall correctly, this is also visible in the UI.
If you don't have access to the original image, you don't have access to its transparent bits, so you have to think of something else. Would it be enough to treat all white pixels as transparent?

Why is the SmoothCam (smooth cam) filter not applying to an exported clip?

I have a clip that required some masking (which my graphics guy did on his PC). After importing the masked clip into FCP, I can't get the SmoothCam filter to apply to it. SmoothCam works great on the original shot from the camera (an MXF file), but not on the clip after it was "tweaked outside" of FCP.
Does anyone know if SmoothCam has a limitation on what types of files it will work on (ie only raw footage files, MXF files, etc) or is there perhaps some metadata in the raw file that's needed for SmoothCam?
We had tried exporting a smoothed version before I gave it to him for masking but he couldn't open it on his PC (don't get me started on that! haha).
He did a wonderful job on the masking (using AfterEffects) but the clip still requires the SmoothCam. And SmoothCam is working just fine (I can still apply it on "raw" clips). But when I try to apply it to this "outside exported" clip, it just doesn't do anything...no error, no indication of analyzing the clip or even trying, nothing at all happens.

I apologize. I posted this question a little prematurely. After looking through the FCP manual, I found this quote:
+Note: The SmoothCam filter can be applied only to clips that refer to QuickTime+
+media files. Also, the SmoothCam filter compensates only for the original video+
+within a QuickTime media file; the results of filter and motion parameter settings are+
+ignored. Make sure filters applied to a clip are ordered so that the SmoothCam filter+
+is applied first.+
I decided to post this reply in case anyone else came across this issue. Basically, it appears that SmoothCam will only work on QuickTime files (.mov I guess?). My graphics guy had made the file as an MP4 (again..don't get me started I opened the his MP4 in QT and re-exported it as a .mov and SmoothCam is analyzing it right now! So all is well.
Sorry for the almost unnecessary post. Feel free to comment to expand/clarify my findings.
Thanks!

Export clip for website

Hello
I am trying to export a clip using quicktime for use on a website. The clip has been green screened and distorted a bit to make person like a bit thinner.
What settings would I use in quicktime to be able to send this clip to my webmaster (he uses a PC)
so that he can put it onto website. Once I ICHAT it to him he crops it and puts it into flash (swf)
When I do regular quicktime with default settings, hes getting it, but the clip is not looking nice and sharp, looks pretty crummy?
I need help
Thank you

I will assume you are using Compressor 3 as part of Final Cut Studio 2.
1. Either Export to Compressor or Export to QuickTime and drag the file into Compressor.
2. In the Settings tab, go to Apple > Other Workflows > Web > Download > QuickTime 7 Compatible. For simplicity's sake, we will use one of the presets. H.264 300Kbps usually provides a decent trade-off between file size and quality but you should ask the webmaster what he is looking for.
3. Drag the setting onto the file in the main window. Click on the setting in the main window to open it in the Inspector tab. Click on the Geometry tab.
4. Under the Dimensions section, enter the frame size (resolution) that your webmaster is looking for. Then click Submit. On my machine, Batch Monitor doesn't open automatically (it used to with the old Compressor; maybe this is a feature of Compressor 3) so you may need to click the button at the top. This will give you a window detailing the progress of your render (you may have to click the name of your computer on the left).

FCP quicktime "iphone "export diff then quicktime "export for iphone web"??

so what i dont get, is when i export out of quicktime using "export for web" and i choose the "iphone" 900 kbit option, i get 480X270 beautiful true widescreen clips. But when I export using quicktime conversion in final cut pro 6 and i choose" iphone"....i get 480X360. Why does this happen? I want true widescreen, just like everything i get from itunes.....not this 360 size (which i know is the phones screen res, but who cares)?

Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(
Cheers

How can I export clip markers?

Is there any way to export clip markers? When I export to a QuickTime movie and select All Markers neither my timeline nor my clip markers are visible when I bring the exported clip into Final Cut or Compressor.

Both of my markers are chapter markers and I have selected "All Markers", but when I bring the exported clip into Final Cut I see no markers.

Exporting Movies as Quicktime Issue

I've been having major issues with exporting animations from Flash CS4 as Quicktime movies with and alpha channel. I seem to always get some kind of artifacts showing up. Basically, it looks like chunks of the graphics remain in place for a few frames and then disappear. I am exporting as Animation at 100% quality... and I work on a Mac. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a way to solve it? Please see the attached file for reference.
thanks

One more thing to add: when I move the clip to the correct place in the timeline (in this case it's at 16:20:30;00) the exported clip does not start on the same frame that it was set in the original sequence. I was off by a little over a second so I repositioned it in the original sequence and exported again. The second export had the correct starting frame but the last frame was off by over 3 seconds.
Any ideas?
