Exporting movie with AC3 5.1 Surround audio

Hello, I'm trying to join a QT movie file containing the HD ProRes 422 HQ video content to a ready-made AC3 5.1 file created by the sound editor on Pro-Tools. The files are synchronous and I'm just trying to avoid converting the ProRes video into an HD Mpeg, which is how I normally get the two tracks together. Is there any way to do this with either Final Cut or Compressor which would yield a Quicktime movie and avoid an Mpeg? Unfortunately QT Player Pro doesn't seem to allow adding AC3 content to a movie, which is a shame. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Is this any help?

My DVD Movies with AC3 (Dolby Digital) to H.264

Hello,
i want to use QT to convert my movies from DVD to a H.264-file with
ac3 sound.
The Apple-FAQ says, that i need QT Pro and the DVD2Playback module,
but AC3 sound has no support (for playback too).
Ok, VLC show me H.264 movies with AC3 Sound coded with Nero Digital,
a Windows software. So for me it is possible to put AC3 sound into a mp4 container.
So i have some questions:
1. What kind of Mac program can i use, to merge (mux) a H.264 mp4 file and a AC3 sound file ?
2. How works the DVD2Playback module, read it automatically all matched
vob files after selecting the first one ? Because the DVD main movie is splitted in three or four vob files.
3. If not (see point 2), what kind of Mac software can i use to merge h.264 files to one ?
Thank you and
regards
F.

This freeware program will export both the video and ac3 sound to other formats, like DV Stream and others. It also will allow you to edit out portions without require you to re-encode mpegs. It works with mpeg-1 by itself and with mpeg-2 if you have the Apple mpeg2playback component.

Export Movie with Transparent Background

I created a lower third from a PNG with a transparent background. I brought that into FCPX and animated it. Now I want to export it and create a movie with a transparent background so I can use the animated lower third in other projects. I can't seem to find a way to make the movie's background transparent. How do I do that?
Thanks, Happy New Year!

Thank you very much!

Creating mov with 6 or more mono audio channels

Hello,
I have FCP X and I would like to create a mov from 1 video and 6 or more mono wav files. In FCP 7 it was possible to do this by changing the number of "Audio outputs" to 6 or more (dual-mono) in the "Sequence" settings window. How can one achieve the same output with FCP X?
Thanks

I was able to generate a mov with 6 mono audio tracks by:
Adding new audio roles 1-6
Assigning these roles to the audio clips on the timeline
Changing the "Roles as" field under "File | Share | Master File | Settings" to "Multitrack QuickTime Movie" and then choosing "Mono" for each audio track.
One difficulty was that the scroll bar for this portion becomes inaccessible/hidden due the "Delete" icon that pops up to the right of each audio track. In my case, it would be impossible to modify these setting once the number of tracks exceeds 6.

Export movie with transparent background, Adobe Premiere Elements 9

Help!
I'm now using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I'm trying to create a few regularly used lower-third animated graphics. There will be 4... each with the same animated background, but with different names in text.
I was able to do this just fine in earlier versions of Premiere Elements... using Quicktime Export, and changing color settings to "Millions + of colors"... or something similar...
Is there a way to do this in this version? Help!

You can not export video with an alpha channel from Premiere Elements. Sorry.

Exporting files with AC3 audio

Forgive me if this is not the right place to post this question.
Using QT Pro, I want to trim and edit some files containing AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio. When I export or save the edited video, will they retain the AC3 audio?
More specifics: These files contain both AAC audio (in the default track) and AC3 audio (second track). These files were encoded using Handbrake, and I will be playing them on my AppleTV (hence the desire to retain the AC3 audio). The source files come from my DVR, and I want to trim some commercials. I tried to trim them prior to encoding, but I'm having trouble finding reliable software for editing MPEG2 streams on a Mac. Thus, I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can trim them afterwards using QT Pro and still retain the AC3 audio.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Aaah, I wish I could help! I have exactly the same problem! I was going to post about it, but since there's this workaround, I didn't want to take up bandwidth with a problem that was not a total showstopper.
Indeed. I have stopped doing what I used to do before. Before, I used to select "All" in compressor - the files generated were the video, the aiff, and the ac3. Well after burning a few coasters through DVDSP 4.1 where there was picture but no sound, I realized that I needed to drag the aiff file to compressor again, and use that - at that point everything is fine. So, right now, my workflow is to export just the video from FCP through compressor, let it encode. Then export the aiff separately and encode it to a3 in compressor, then import the video and ac3 to DVDSP for good results. In short, no more exporting "All" from FCP through compressor, it's a waste of time.
But as to why, I have no idea, and I'm eager to hear what folks have to say! Anyhow, just letting you know you are not alone. Btw. my set up is: FCP 4.5 HD, compressor 2.1 and DVDSP 4.1.0... what's yours?

Trouble Exporting movie with Media Encoder, weird clip sizes and errors

I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP Professional with 2gb RAM and 1.6GHz. I'm trying to export a short movie (2.5 minutes) with no audio. It is just a bunch of stitched together videos imported from 1280x 1024. I'm sizing them into 720 x 480. I get very poor video quality unless I use uncompressed formats, so I am using an Uncompressed AVI with UYVY Codec and 1.0 square pixels.
1st problem: I get an error running more than around 35-50seconds:
The Operation was interrupted by user
- Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\imurphy\LOCALS~1\Temp...
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\imurphy\My Documents...
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 720x480, 25 [fps], Progressive, Quality 100
- Audio:
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:05:03
7/15/2009 1:18:56 PM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
Its very consistent with having this error. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of room for the files, it only gets up to around 2.5gb. I can watch the movie up to where the error occurs and there is no problem.
2nd: I tried spliting the video up into 4 different files and the last clip won't match the others. I export all of them the same way, with 1.0 aspect ratio and the first 3 come out saying .9091NTSC. The last one will say it is 1.0 ratio if I do it the same way or 0.9091 NTSC if I change it, but either way, it will come out wider that the other clips (they will all still have black space on sides).

Why does exporting .mov with Nero have no sound?

I recently bought a Kodak Digital and as you know it produces a .mov file when using the movie feature. It plays fine when using Quicktime. I use Nero Express 3 to create a DVD of my photos. When I export the .mov file or when I transcode to DVD format the Video will complete but playback has no Audio. Do I need an additional codec? Does anyone know how to solve this problem so I can use Nero and watch my DVD with sound?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
3. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
4. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
5. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
6. Reset the NVRAM.
7. Reset the SMC.
8. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Movies with AC3 "Cannot be played"

Hi hope someone is in a position to answer this.
Tried out the ios 4.2 beta a few weeks back, found that while folders and multitasking were useful there was a huge problem with playing back my video files.
Have a large collection of m4v files with multiple audio tracks. First track is AC3 passthough, second is AAC downmix.
With the current version of ios this is great. If I stream to Apple TV I get 5.1 surround.
If I sync to the ipad it automatically selected the stereo track to play back.
When I tried out 4.2 this no longer happened. Clicking on video that worked fine in 3.2 failed to play back with 4.2 "Video cannot be played". SYNCS - but doesnt play.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved with the finished release? Not keen to update if I lose the ability to play back my video collection on the ipad.
Folders would be nice, but not really worth the trade off.
Anyone in a position to confirm if this has been resolved in the final release?

Hello there,
Not sure as to why this is happening suddenly. I would take a look at this Apple support document related to this issue. It's a good place to start at least.

Quicktime X Won't Load movies with AC3 track

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, it is more than likely that this is the case but maybe some people don't realise it.
Any movie file I have that has an ac3 track on it will not open in quicktime player x for me, but will work in quicktime player 7. When I use quicktime player 7 to completely remove the ac3 track (not just disabling it, that doesn't work), it will open fine in QT X. If I open a file that I ripped from DVD 6 months ago, quicktime x will open it fine as there is no AC3. A file I ripped yesterday won't open as it has AC3.
I tried to call the apple helpline but they were next to useless, considering the chap thought I wanted to put a password on quicktime when I talked about passthrough, and then directed me to download quicktime 7, like I hadn't used it to diagnose the issue!
Has anyone else encountered this issue, and more importantly does anyone know how to fix it, apart from using quicktime 7?

Another questions occurs to me: May I use Quicktime 7 for playing MPEG-2 videos with audio AC3 files? Or do I need Quicktime 7 Pro? And where do I get these applications -- if they will solve the problem? Do I have these applications on my Snow Leopard DVD? I checked my utilities folder and they are not in there. Will QT 7 and QT 7 Pro even work with Snow Leopard? I'm new to Mac and very confused, obviously.

Export movie with alpha to png sequence

I'm trying to export tweened animation to .png image sequence
with alpha transparency.
The individual png files appear to be clean -- but when I
open the file sequence in QuickTime, it looses the 8-bit alpha.
Anyone know how to get around this? Thanks!

MCs are dynamic and designed to play at runtime in the flash
player - to export to video you simply
need to convert them to Graphic symbols.

CS6 won't export movies with previously exported Quicktime .mov files in them?

On several different projects now, I've made videos which include previously exported CS6 Quicktime .mov clips in the timeline. When I go to export these new projects, Premiere will start compiling and exporting for a few moments, but then will stop and freeze up the program or even my Mac, or it will show an error message. I've tried changing my settings and everything. The only way my projects will export correctly is if they contain NO old .mov files. I'm trying to do a demo reel, so I kind of need those old files. They aren't even old, I exported them out of CS6 a few months ago. Why isn't Premiere exporting correctly and is there any way to fix this?

There are files, and there are files... the important thing is what is inside the file?
MOV (or AVI or MP4 or ???) is a wrapper that may contain many things... not all of those things edit well
Report back with the details of your file, use the program below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

Exporting movies with nested animations

Hi! I'm hoping someone out there can be of some assistants,
I'm currently working on a animation, and I've pretty much finished
now and am trying to export the full animation so I can use this
within Director MX 2004. Only, now I've discovered that ideally to
produce an animation I should have done my entire animation within
the main timeline of Flash, I have now found out that if I'm trying
to export a animation that includes nested movie clips I'll have
problems exporting the entire animation.
I've spent sometime researching this problem and found that
there is a third party applicatiion that will solve this problem,
called: swf2avi, my only problem with this is that this program is
only available for PC's and I'm using a Mac. Has anyone else ran
into this same problem? Does anyone know of another third party
application that sloves this problem but is mac friendly? Or if not
does anybody have any helpful suggestions that will help me over
come this issue?
Anybody's help / advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Director handles SWF files though doesn't it? I could be
wrong about that.
Sounds like you are exporting to a video format. First see
this article:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash_to_video.html
and yes, SWF2video is for PC only.
The workaround is for you to simply go back into the FLA and
set all movie clips to Graphic symbols
- you can still have nested animation that are in sync with
main timeline *if* they are *Graphic*
symbols - you will have to do this for every movie clip
instance on the stage for every keyframe.
hope this helps.
