Exporting High Quality Flash to Quicktime for use in FCP4.5

I am currently working on a interactive DVD production
including various Flash animations. I've tried exporting them as
almost every possible combination of compressions I could think of
using. Every time I import any clip (although seeming smooth in
previews or as stand alone clips...in both flash and quicktime
formats), they always seem to be choppy once imported into Final
Cut Pro 4.5, DVD Studiio Pro , or Motion !!! .
If anyone could give me some advice on what would be the best
compression to use within Flash's export functions , to then be
able to use within FCP 4.5 .... it would be very appreciated ! This
is tormenting me right now !!!!
Thx

You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

Higher quality recordings with quicktime screen recording?

Hello all, first post here.
I was just wondering if it is possible to achieve higher quality recordings with quicktime player?
Because right now the recordings seem bad quality. I am a game developer and I am planing to use quick time to take videos of various special FX demos...
So here is the best video I could get with quicktime... Note this is not a very good video I was just testing.

Thanks for all your help!

I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.
thanks,

Exporting the Browse Sequence XML file for Use in Another Project

When I generate a browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.
My workaround was to auto-create the browse sequence at a 0 level and then manually manipulate it to output according to how my readers would actually read my online book (ie A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).
Now that I have my browse sequence in the correct order for this project, I do not want to repeat these steps every time I create a new version of my OLH for the same guide after some minor updates have been made to the FM source.
There is a file named whbrs.xml inside the output folder and it contains the browse sequence order I specified during my workaround steps.
Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project referencing the same guide?
This methodology is much preferred as I am working at an enterprise level with multiple documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my workaround for each project I update over the next few years.

Hi Kristopher
You probably wouldn't want to use that particular file as it's an output file. You would likely have better luck using the ProjectName.BRS file as that one should be a source file.
However, keep in mind that whether (or how well) this will work will entirely depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.
Cheers... Rick

How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
Anyways...
I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
I am losing my mind over this.
I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

What Image Export Preset settings are you using? (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format. If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12"). Make sure size is set to "Original Size". "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.

Iphoto 5 : problems with exportation high quality photos with music

as I want to export some photos in an acceptable quality with music, I found the only possibility was by exportation them as quicktime file (xx.mov).
There you can choose the resolution of your photos.
By doing this there exists a button "momentan ausgewählte musik zum film hinzufügen" which even after many trials did not work.
even apple support couldn`t solve the problem.
Does anyone have an idea how it would work?
PS: I tried also other ways by using exportation as diashow in iphoto , or by using idvd - in both ways music is exported but photos are visible only in very low quality.

Hi Léonie, All the sw is at latest update. The library was simply copied from the old machine to the new machine. When I launched the new version of iPhoto (on the new machine) I pointed it to the copied iPhoto library and it picked it up without any issue. The first time I opened it, iPhoto spent some time migrating the data format from the old iPhoto version to the new, but that was done only once. I am not sharing the library between the old iPhoto and new; now the migrated library is for the exclusive use of the new iPhoto.
Regarding error messages in syslog, it's quite funny, I do see them, and they reflect the fact that iPhoto has gone off to la-la land for extended periods of time, ignoring all user input (this is what results in the spinning disc in Mac OS):
1/28/14 9:16:18.792 PM WindowServer[127]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "iPhoto" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
1/28/14 9:16:20.926 PM WindowServer[127]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "iPhoto" after 3.13 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
So that was a common 3 second "hang" of iPhoto. Nothing apart from those kinds of messages.
Thanks for the links to iStat... i do in fact have the latest version of it and don't have that problem with Mavericks.

App to capture high quality video; clip; bulk export high quality?

Our students capture long videos in a high quality format (.DV), then often want to define clips within the movie, and hand them off to Compressor for compression. Unfortunatly, with the changes in Final Cut Pro X, we can find no viable way of doing that, and we've searched for hours in the app and online. The closet we found was to export stems out of the FCPX timeline using Roles:
http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/export-stems-out-of-your-final-cut-pro-x-timelin e-using-roles/
For simply wanting to define multple clips (no combining of clips involved), this is rather tedious, but moreso, when we use this technique, indeed only the video and audio of the clips we hand off to Compressor is seen and heard, but we end up with video black on both sides of the clip, which greatly lengthens the processing time, not to mention that we then need to trim the dead air afterwards.
We tried using iMovie 11, but unlike one or more previous versions, it is no longer possible to export multiple clips.
We've downloaded Adobe Premiere, and will be testing this.
Is there an OS X app that can capture high quality (.DV?) video/audio, make clips, then bulk export to .DV on disk, that doesn't cost over $500?

Thank you, I'm exporting to DV now to try that out.
I was choppy at my explanation, so let me go a little further. Maybe I do just use a DVD player to play this - but, let me explain further - maybe I'm not doing something right in creating the DVD.
I 'shared' from iMovie to iDvd - and burnt right to a DVD. Again, the movie was shaky on the computer. We played it on a DVD player, still a little shaky.. but not near as noticable - it looked pretty good. BUT - this is when the dvd stopped. I hit play, and it picked up right where it left off. I also was skipping through chapters, and it stopped all of the sudden. I had to go back to the main menu to start over. This was all done on a dvd player. Eventually, we played the rest of the video and it went ok. But, something tells me there might be a glitch in the DVD I created.... ?
Someone mentioned they had problems when exporting/burning right to dvd from iMovieHD. They said they exported out, then dragged the file into iDVD.. is that an option - if so, how would I go about doing that?

Exporting high quality still images?

Is it possible to export a high quality still image from video? I have used the export using qt conversion, exported it as a photoshop document and when I bring that doc into photoshop the image quality is poor at 300 dpi. It comes in at 10 inches X 6.67 inches at 72 dpi, but when I make it 300 dpi the image size is only 2.4 inches by 1.6 (this, of course, is when I turn off "resample image")
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

Is it possible to export a high quality still image from video?< </div>
Yes and no. it is no better than your video camera shot it. Generally, for conventional DV, that's roughly 500x800 pixels at a shutter speed of 1/30th second. HD formats and special frame rates, of course, produce other still images.
720x486 at 72 DPI.< </div>
I beg to quibble, or at least to be a pedant. The 72dpi is an artificial construct imposed by Photoshop. There is no dpi or lpi in video. You only get the raw pixels. You can make the pixels bigger by scaling up or you can throw some away by scaling down but, without additional work like resampling or applying a tool like Genuine Fractals, you cannot get any more pixels.

Will alienate? They've already alienated users a long time
ago. That isn't the point, though, because it doesn't matter if
users are alienated, it only matters if the users need flash.
The only thing that could make flash player better is open
source. I don't see why they don't do it. They make money on the
authoring tool, not the player. All of my Linux machines are ppc
and x86_64, no flash there. I also don't have flash on my PDA, a
Palm T|X. If the player was open sourced, people would stop
complaining about how much flash sucks -- because, right now, there
are very serious, legitimate, complaints against it.
Anyway, for now I'm hoping that SVG matures quickly.
Although, I"m sure that once Adobe sees that train coming, they
will extend Flash (dev.) to export SVG movies containing embedded
binary data that can only play with their binary plugin.

Cannot export private key: "key not valid for use in specified state"

Hi,
This is a bit of a long story but I hope someone can give us some guidance.
We use authentication certificates issued from our own Enterprise CA to control user and machine authentication via RADIUS/NPS for our wireless network. Certificates are deployed via group policy/autoenrollment. In general this works well but
we have an intermittent problem where user authentication stops working for a user who was fine before. The user certificate looks OK via Certmgr (shows as valid, shows that there is a private key associated with the certificate). The NPS server
logs show that the machine has been authenticated and granted access, but the user in this situation doesn't show up in the server logs at all.
The only solution in this case is to connect to the wired network and request a new certificate for the user (either via certmgr or just by deleting the duff cert and logging off/on again to get the cert via autoenrollment).
The interesting thing is that while a "working" certificate can be exported with no problem, a duff certificate cannot be exported with its private key, giving the error "key not valid for use in specified state". (Obviously the certificates
come from the same template, and the key is not marked unexportable). The key files are present in %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA and the user permissions on these files look correct.
After much searching of the forums I tried running certutil-repairstore on the duff certificate and that also returned the same error. I also tried an undocumented switch Certutil -user -key -v and again, got a very similar error "Loadkeys returned
key not valid for use in specified state. 0x8009000b (-2146893813)".
I'm assuming that the fact that the key is unexportable/corrupt is also the reason why the certificate can no longer be used for authentication.
Does anyone have any clues as to what might be causing this, and/or if a certificate with a key in this state can be repaired?
Thanks!

I can just share an experience I once had that was somewhat similar:
In this case certificates could sometimes not be enrolled and the CSP came up with a related error message.
The root was the software / driver (?) for a hardware dongle required to run some software. This "driver" added a registry key to the list of CSPs (under these HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider - but I have seen this with
XP, so the exact location might be different now).
This fake CSP entry that had quite a weird name effectively broke other CSPs. After removing the access to / generation of keys worked fine.
So it would be interesting to know if you run some software that is "close to CSPs or cryptography".

Whats the best way of delivering high quality Flash on web?

Hi Folks,
I do short ads on Final cut pro and i need to load them to
Flash comm server. I tried all posiblities but i dont get high
quality videso like the ones you see on yahoo and the rest.
I would appreciate if you can let me know whats the best
practice in steps.
Many Thanx
By the way I have Flash 8 and dreamweaver 8

Encoding is one factor.
What are your encoding choices?
If the video is jerky, could be bandwidth and latency
issues.

I am downloading a digital album and i have to choose between apple lossless, flac, and high quality mp3. i am using itunes and i have a pc running windows 7 does that make a difference?

I am downloading an album and I don't know which format to choose. Flac, apple lossless, or high quality mp3. I want to play it in itunes, on my iphone and i have a pc running windows 7. Does that make a difference?

Go with Apple Lossless. It will play readily in iTunes vs. FLAC. You can convert it later to mp3 if you wish but you cannot convert mp3 to ALE or FLAC and get back the quality that was lost. You can also convert ALE to FLAC if you need to.

Export MPEG2 from Final Cut, HDV for use it on PC platform

My client needs to upload the videos in a PC network, he asked me to deliver the final videos on MPEG 2. I have tried to export by using compressor but the clips come out without sound. How can I have the videos with sound and in MPEG 2?
Or is there any other format that I can export on, so the videos can run on a PC? I tried WMP from Quicktime but it only exports up to 30 seconds. Do I have to buy a Flip4mac to be able to export a longer file ? and if so which version of Flip4mac is advisable?
Please help me. Thanks.

I noted that by doing WMP videos the files are way smaller in size, which is very good for me because I have to FTP 20 videos of 2 min. each to my client. Is WMP the same quality or equivalent to MPEG 2?
I assume you mean WMV files?
Yes, WMVs can be superior to MPEG2 files, but it's all about the choices you make when you encode encoding them. It's also possible to get very acceptable WMVs at very small file sizes, again depending on your content and your encoding expertise.
Flip4Mac's documentation will take you through the steps and the choices. Pay attention to the details and test, test test.
I've found that Windows users are always happier with WMVs, as there are never any compatibility issues - and the last thing I need when the deadline is getting closer is troubleshooting my client's windows installations.
Best of luck.

Final cut export high quality

I'd like to know what are the best compressions to export a full hd file from final cut pro,
for these cases:
1) best quality full hd ( but not completely uncompressed or too heavy) to show the video to clients on my computer.
2) best compromise quality/weight to put the video in my website. Do you suggest full hd or smaller?
Thanks a lot to everyone

I agree if you suggest h264 to have a good quality to display the video with Quicktime or Vlc. But unfortunately on other players ( pc ) these files have often many problems. For example my file 16.9 h264 that are well displayed in Quicktime in other players goes 4:3...
I'd like to have a really good qualitu file that I can give to anyone without any suggest to play it correctly.
Hmm
Also, for internet I'd like to have a file that anyone can see without downloading anything.
To see a Quicktime h264 video people need to have quicktime.
So I was thinking about flv files..

How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
*The file:*
*Retains sound, builds and movement.*
*Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...

Exporting HD footage from Avid (PC) for use in FCP (MAC)

Hello,
Here is my issue, there was and HD shoot of my business for local promotional use. I wanted the footage for marketing purposes down the road. I put together most of our promotional video using FCP 5.1.4. The footage was edited on a PC Avid system and exported using an animation codac to quicklime. (This is what the editor said would work)
The footage will not play back correctly, starts off playing for the first second or so and freezes. When I import it into a sequence and render it I can here audio but the canvas remains black. Before I have them export this thing again I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end. Below are the clip details and CPU info. Thanks in advance for any help.
Clip: 1920 x 1080, 29.97fps, Apple lossless Animation compression, Data rate 190.2 MB/sec, Pixel aspect ratio: square
CPU Info: Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2

Animation files are much too large data-wise to play back. YOu need to use Compressor to convert them into a codec that is more editable. DVCPRO HD for example...or ProRes. Depending on what hard drives you are trying to play this footage from.
Animation is a good transfer codec, but it needs to be converted.
