Exporting large project

Not really sure how to proceed. I have a project finished and in Final Cut pro, Shot HD. It is 2:07:33:00. I need to export it and burn it onto a DVD or DVD's. I built it in one sequence. Worried about disk space. How does it work. I am using two different external drives. I have nothing but software on my computer. It has 27.49 GB free harddrive space. If I get in a pinch I can take the external drive to burn on a friends computer but should I try to export it out as a quick time or should I use compressor. I have never really edited anything in this program.

#42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it amd select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the broswer and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

Final Cut Express 4 keeps crashing while exporting large project

I have an Imac and I'm using final cut express 4. I keep having a problem when exporting project to quicktime conversion for youtube. The software just keeps crashing and giving me an error. I normally only have this proble with projects that have alot of editing or just long files. Sometimes it crashes and then ends up going thru without crashing but I can't seem to get it to work this time. The project I'm trying to export is about 20 minutes. Please help me.
Imac hardware info:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac7,1

It's not clear to me what you're describing about the upload process. It could be a problem of YT's uploader.

My final mov. file is 6 GB does that have anything to do with it?
Possibly. If you follow YT's guidelines for a 1080 res video @ 8 Mbps, your file should be more like 1.2 GB.
Your AIC sequence shoud be exported from FCE with current settings. That means it's still an AIC file when you bring that into MPEG Streamclip. Choose Export to Quick Time and in the dialogue window choose h.264 as your compresssion. Check the Limit Data Rate and enter 8000. If your video is interlaced, check the de-interlaced box.
Good luck.

I'm trying to export to my hard drive Movies folder a number of finished iMovie 8.0.6 projects. They run for 3-4 hours, then at the end I get an error message that says project couldn't be exported due to error (-49).
I've searched in help and in these communites but can't find anything.
Anyone else run into this?
THaks in advance for any and all help.

Export format for clips to be used in larger project.

Back in the PE2 days, I used to capture and trim a clip and "export movie" which resulted in a "DV-AVI" file. This is what I understood PE "liked" and the best format to use for import to a larger project (and it worked nicely every time). Now, in PE11, I don't see that option. This method is handy, not only for trimming stuff you don't want, but naming the clips to help with content id. What option should I use that preserves quality and cooperates with PE best?

How can I export a large project to multiple DVD's

I am trying to export a project to a DVD. The .approject it creates is too big to fit onto one DVD. It is about 9GB. I have tried exporting it and then using right-click on the .approject to Show Package Contents. I then burned the the indvidual files in this to about 3 DVD's. How can I re-import this to another computer/ Aperture library? Can I simply read all the dvds into to a folder named ...approject and then try and import this?

There are other more hackish solutions but I'm going to point you to DropDMG which works great for your purpose, making backups to CD/DVD, making online backup segments, and optionally encrypting all the previous.
I'm not associated with the vendor, just a satisfied customer. You know you should also be making backups, so it's $20 well spent.

Unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks. Please Help! Due date coming up!

I've unable to Export iMovie project in everyway I have attempted for the past 2 weeks.I have a late 2012 iMac with 8gb of RAM and 700 gb of free space on the hard drive. The video I am trying to export is 48 mins long with most of the source footage from a NIkon D3100 and several other cammcorders. I've been exporting with Apple Intermediate codec because that was the only one that has work so far but it only worked once and since then I have had to make changes to the project and now I'm unable to get it to work. For all Quicktime exports in H.264 or AIC (my prefered format for this export since I figured it'd offer the highest quality when I import it into Encore for making a dvd out of it) Which just stops exporting in the last few minutes without explination as to why or it crashes and quits. It either leaves a partial file or nothing at all. When I do "export movie" I get a "not enough memory Heap zone error"
I don't know what to do any help would be greatly appreciated!
By the way I happen to have Adobe CS6 Production Premium but didn't know how to use it as well when starting the project and now really regret not using it because it appears to be 10x more stable and capable of handling all the tasks I want it to do.

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

Are your event clips in h.264? If so, you can solve this by Right clicking on your Event Name and choose "Optimize Media". You can choose Full for 1080P or Large for 960P according to your preference.
After you have optimized your Event, you should be able to Share with no problem.
Lennart Thelander
-108 mean you are running out of (free) RAM.
Try restarting the computer just prior to sharing. That frees up RAM.
from mynameisearl
Final Entry
Ok - after much cutting, trial and error and days of work I have never really established a root cause for the -108 error. Nothing I did resolved the issue to the orginal project.
The only work around I have found is to split the Original Project into two.
What I found was that anything around the 60 mins mark and above just failed to render in HD and showed the -108 error.
What worked for me was creating two project files - one around 57mins long - the other a part 2 - around 17 mins long. All using exactly the same source clips, photo's, music and transitions as the orginal.
This now works. I guess having it split in two makes it a little easier to work with as I wont have to keep rendering the first part which does not change but really wish Apple would throw some light on this.
Anyway - I hope all of the above at least proves useful for others.
Good Luck

Best way to work on a large project in CS5

Hello friends,
I've recently started editing a feature length film in APP CS5. I've never worked on a project this large before (around 160 GB). Since I've been just doing small projects, it hasn't been an issue to have my source footage on my C: drive. I sort of forgot the first rule I ever learned: Don't keep your source footage on the same drive as your program. So, I set up a master project, and then set up a sequence for every individual scene. The idea was to edit a scene, the drop it on the master time line. So I actually imported all of my footage and placed it in each corresponding sequence. Seemed like a good idea at the time. But then I started trying to edit a scene and my computer laughed at me. It just couldn't process anything within a project that big. So I started from scratch. Moved all my footage to an external drive, deleted it from my C: drive and started over. Now, I'm just moving a scene's worth of material in at a time. So far so good, but will I get bogged down again as the project grows? Even though I'm pulling everything from an external? And if I probably will, what should I do? A friend told me that I should export each sequence at a lossless format, such as the animation codec, then bring them back in and place them on a new master timeline. My concern is that those files are going to be bigger than the original files, so won't that kill my computer, too. What's the best way to work on such a large project? I'm running CS5 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro, Intel Core i3, 2.10 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Windows 7 Pro (64 - bit). Thanks guys!

It's both AVCHD and DSLR. Are you saying it's too underpowered to do either of the scenarios I mentioned above, or both? One way, I will just edit each scene, and export them. Then, I'll begin with a clean slate, bringing those edited sequences back in and dropping them on a timeline in a new project. The files will be huge, but I'll only be working with those files. Nothing else will be in the way. Then I'll just have to put them in order and do a few transitions (dissolves mostly) between some of the scenes, then export the whole thing. The other way was to just build the entire movie with every scene as a sequence, editing them, and moving them to the master timeline. Are you saying I won't be able to do either? If that's the case, then I suppose I'll have to just edit each scene, export them, and then get someone with a monster machine to put it all together for me. Hoping it doesn't come to that, but it's not the worst thing I could have to do.

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. When played the DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part. It is not the DVD. When trying to export the project, I get an error message.

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. It is a large file. When played the some DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part but will not resume. Some work fine. It is not the DVD. I have burned from several batches. When trying to export the project, I get an error message with the following message: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured (-108).

Combining multiple projects into one larger project?

If I have multiple separate projects and now want to combine them, edits, titles and all into a larger project, is it possible? I expected that it might be possible to drag one project into another and place it intact onto the timeline for the new project. Since every combination of dragging a project around has evidently failed to accomplish what I'm expecting... is there a way to do this?

welcome phiphika to the  board…
in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

My daughter made an iMovie project using picures from her Camera Roll and then delted the pictures from her camera roll and now she can not export the project. Does anyone know of a way to still export this project?

Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.

How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

When I Try To Export My Project, Nothing Happens

So during editing in Final Cut Pro X I noticed that there were a couple of hiccups in my movie, but scrolling over these events didn't reveal a problem. I decided to see if it was a processing problem by exporting my project. I went up to File, clicked on Share, clicked on Apple Devices 720p, clicked on Next in the window that came up, titled the project, set it to save to the desktop, clicked Save... And then nothing happened. I checked my desktop for the file but there was nothing there. I've tried saving the file to several different places but when I click Save nothing happens and the file isn't in the place it should be if it had been saved. FCPX is working fine in all other regards but it's just not exporting this project. I've checked and I don't have any broken pieces of footage. The only possible thing I can think of is the song I'm using is one I purchased off of iTunes, so maybe it won't let me export if the song is protected by iTunes, but that seems like a stretch. Any help is appreciated.

Nevermind, I solved the problem. FCPX isn't showing me that it's rendering or whatever it's doing, but after about ten minutes the files show up. Still, any idea why it gives no indication that it's working?

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

How is the best way to export my project with clips and videos?

I would like to save my project and export the project with clips and videos included. What is the best way to do it?

Can you clarify:
clips and video
Seems as though you want to retain the original media?
Export as a Master File to get a good quality export file of your Timeline.
