Exporting multiclip sequence

How do I export a multiclip sequence?
When I select the sequence and go to Export a message tells me I have no media.
But of course I do.
Where is it?
Just want to export an uncompressed 1 minute sequence.
Can't find pertinent instructions in the manual.
Thanks
LD

LynnDiana,
Are you trying to export a Multiclip, or a multiclip sequence? A multiclip sequence should export just like a standard sequence.
Perhaps if you could provide a bit more detail on exactly what it is you are trying to do here. What format are your source clips? Have you created a multiclip sequence? How many clips are in this multiclip? How are you attempting to export? Plus any other details regarding your workflow. Without details, we can only guess.

Creating a multiclip sequence, HERE'S A REAL STUMPER for all you Pros...

Ok,
this one is a real doozy. We've tried everything we can think of.
Workflow: Three HDX-900 cameras, jam-synced to clocktime and shooting a sports event at 30p (59.94fps) DVCProHD. Recording onto FireStore-100s and backing up onto DVCProHD tape. Dumping firestore DVCProHD footage directly into FCS2. Everything looks and sounds great. We labeled each angle field in FCP according to the camera (A, B, C). We carefully labelled the reel numbers according to our project (P1031308A0101).
I selected the 3 bins (each bin holds the footage from each camera) and made a multiclip sequence. It was UNABLE to make a 60 minute multiclip with the footage from the three cameras spread out according to their timecode. It kept trying to make about 30 multiclips, few of them with overlapping timecode. a couple of the clips did sync together into a 3 camera segment, but most of them failed to find each other. We played with the overlap slider and all of the settings in the multiclip window, and at various points FCP tried to offer us 4 or even 5 camera angles of footage, all from our three angles, each with its own embedded and (seemingly) functional TC. It would NOT simply do the obvious-- take the free-run timecode and arrange each clip along a linear timeline within that timeframe and multiclip them together to form a three-angle view of the sports event.
Why not?????
Now, one issue we have with this workflow is that the FS-100 drives are unfortunately FAT32, meaning every 2.2 minutes (2 gigs) the FS-100 automatically cuts the footage into 2 gig chunks. but in a regular non-multiclip sequence, this split-up doesn't seem to affect the footage, or timecode at all, and the first frame of the new clip is one TC frame after the last frame of the previous clip, the way it is supposed to. I don't know if this is relevant.
Also, I don't know if this is relevant: We have been shooting in 59.94 fps, 30p, and we have been using the 60@30 method of viewing TC in the viewer and the project settings.
I am thinking that if there was a way to take all my 2.2 minute clips and put them together into a giant master clip (without exporting and losing quality) then my simplified work environment would allow for a working multiclip.
There are three of us in the edit room and we have been trying to multiclip this stuff for hours. We need this solved today. Is there anyone who has an idea? I think we've tried everything obvious. Our computer is a new MacPro with 4gb RAM, capturing onto an eSATA hard drive

Kevan,
Thanks for the hey hey.
TonyTony,
I have lots and lots of 2 minute clips. But we finally figured it out. It's a failing of FCP's multiclip feature to recognize segmented files that originated on a FAT32 drive. Basically, you simply can't, as of FCS2, make multiclips from several files that were automatically split into 2gig segments, even if their timecodes were maintained.
So the solution: I took each camera's footage, lots and lots of 2 minute clips, and pasted them together in quicktime pro to make a longer sequence. then i saved a reference file to the long sequence and brought that into FCP. I did the same for the files from the other 2 cameras. Then multiclipped those reference movies.
The newest version of the FireStore firmware has a setting that lets you create a quicktime reference movie from within the firestore that links the segments together. so my workflow for the future involves making these reference movie, bringing only the reference movies into FCP, and multiclipping them. problem solved.
probably 2 people who are reading this understand what i'm talking about; i'm not particularly great at explaining things. but we're back up and running . thanks for reading.

Make Multiclip Sequence glitch in final cut pro 7?

Hi, I'm trying to sync two cameras and audio, all with the appropriate timecodes.
Within final cut pro 7, i select all of my video clips and audio I want to sync, right-click and hit "make multiclip sequence," and the appropriate menu even pops up with the matched up files by their respective timecodes, but often when i create the sequence it will be blank, or contain just random clips of audio towards the end. does anyone know why this happens? very frustrating because it works great sometimes, but frequently i get a blank sequence and end up using plural eyes.
xdcam footage
compressor is xdcam ex 1080p24, files are from an f3 camera that i rewrapped in xdcam transfer before bringing into fcp 7.

Thanks Michael, the problem is definitely the audio (syncing the two video clips by themselves works, it creates a new synced sequence), but I edited the audio in a new sequence and exported it, and when i tried to sync it it didn't work.
the frustrating part is that when i select just the audio and the two video clips (that have audio), the multiclip menu pops up syncing them (so close!) , but when i create a new sequence it's blank! even more frustrating is that this process used to work and no longer does.

Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
Here is some additional background info if desired:
I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
Maybe this helps someone?

How to export a sequence as an AAF without media and then relink in Avid

Just in case it helps anyone else sharing material Avid ←→ PPro....
If I export a sequence as an AAF then it expects me to want to include the media, whereas I don't want to duplicate media.
If I put the AAF in a bin - with a piece of media (I used black) - then it will export just the AAF without media.
Importing this to Avid results in Media Offline - and I could not get normal relinking to find the media (is it possible?).
However using this as a guide I found that I could get the media to relink, having imported the AAF to Avid (and ignored the warnings):
1. AMA link to all the media that is in your Pr sequence in a fresh Avid bin (you'll need to know where that media is)
2. Select all the clips in that bin
3. Go to the offline sequence, right click and select relink
4a. Select radio button that says 'Relink selected items to selected items in all open bins'
4b. Under 'relink by' select 'start' and 'name', check 'ignore extension'
It does require that you haven't renamed any of the clips in your premiere project - that the clip names match the file names.
(In FCP7 there was an option to rename clips to match files OR rename files to match clips.)

There is one drawback to the Copy/New from Clipboard method. It does not pick up all the elements of the chart. It doesn't give you the axis titles, legend, or chart name.
I do this:
1) Print using the Open PDF in Preview setting
2) In Preview, select the chart and whatever surrounding area you want to have with it.
3) Copy
4) New from Clipboard
5) Save in the desired format.
You can often skip steps 4&5 and paste directly into another document if that is where it is headed.

Best options for exporting a sequence and making a DVD

Hello,
I have a sequence that is 79 minutes long with the following properties:
Vid Rate - 29.97 fps
Frame Size - 1440 x 1080
Compressor - Apple Int. Codec
Pixel Aspect - HD (1440x1080)
This project began with the intention of being a short video, which is my background, and I can usually deal with exporting issues for short videos. However, it is no longer a small project. This was unexpected, and I frequently find myself in over my head. I am at the point where I need to give small theaters copies to view for consideration for a real screening, and would like to ask the folks here some questions:
How would you export this sequence for viewing on a DVD? Export through QuickTime Movie (not conversion)? Wouldn't that make a file too large to create a DVD with iDVD? DVD is only SD, yes? How is that (watching on a DVD) taken care of, if at a later time I would want a DVD of this sequence to be in the best quality possible?
This is a lot of questions, and I hope not too vague. Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
My notes on this
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R (plays on more even older DVD-players)
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
If problems:
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

Using the latest FCP..
Im working on a project with some heavy boris effects stuff... SLOW SLOW rendering.. The entire sequence is already rendered.. but when I go to export the sequence as a QT movies.. using the current settings.. it wants to rerender the **** thing.. 4+ hours.. instead of just spitting out a QT built with the ALREADY rendered sequences.. The timeline is 1080i XDCAM. The sequences is only 5 minutes long.. So it should export in a matter of minutes if it didnt want to RERENDER EVERYTHING..
This is killing me right now..
Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

Joe
Lets start at the bottom and work back ....
What is your target format? You want to export the sequence but for what purpose? Is it for broadcast delivery, for burning to DVD, for web, or ....?
You note that the timeline is 1080i XDCAM ... well that is a native Long GOP format. When you export it as a single self contained clip then all those GOP structures that make up the different elements of your sequenvce must be broken down and re-conformed into a singole semaless GOP structure that describes the whole. Thats why it is re-rendering.
And GOP's are a hog to decode and encode ... thats why you're seeing such SLOW SLOW rendering.
Suggestion number 1) Set your sequence's Render codec to ProRes 422 ... th erender files will be bigger but they rendering itself will be much faster.
Suggestion number 2) If you are not exporting back to XDCAM media specifically then there is no real reason to export your edit as XDCAM HD. Try exporting as ProRes 422 (as per the render setting) ie choose Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Setting: Apple ProRes 422 (+not Current Settings+)
Suggestion number 3) If you are working on a big and powerful mac like the latest and greatest MacPro's, then in future just set your sequence codec to ProRes 422 and edit the XDCAM files directly in that ProRes 422 timeline, when done then Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Current Settings
Hope thats helpful

Embedded animated Symbols won't export as sequence

FLASH CS5 using Windows XP. I have created an animation that I want to export to sequence of .png files. The file has Symbols that contain embedded animations.
For instance, I have a flashing light in one Symbol. That is embedded in a bouncing police car Symbol. The police car Symbol (with the embedded flashing light) is brought onto a flat bed truck at the "scene" level which is driving down a road. It all looks nice if I render an internal swf file. However, when I export the individual frames, all that is rendered is the flat bed moving down the road. The bouncing car and the flashing light are there but without the animation of each.
Does someone know how to export an animated sequence that include the animations embedded in its Symbols?
Thanks,
Klaaninka

you cannot change a movie clip into a symbol, it will be converted into a still image.

Re: Best options for exporting a sequence and making a DVD

Can't export a sequence

I have a 45 min Long HDV sequence and when I try to export it with quick time conversion set at DVPRO NTSC it immediately say General Error with no number, and the canvas window turns solid red and say "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
I seem to be able to play the sequences with no problems. Other sequences in the project exported fine. When I try to export the sequence using Compressor or QT export it gets about half way through and FCP crashes. I trashed preferences but it still does not work. What's going on?
Vince

It might be possible that some portion of media or render file is corrupted,
render files could be deleted and replaced by new renders.
Should you trash renders do so using Render Manager (manual III-673), which can be found in FCP main menu>Tools>Render Manager.
If instead some corruption of the original media has occurred you need to find the corrupted file.
Set in and out on portions of your sequence and try export again to see if a specific portion produces the general error again.
Finally did you try exporting as QT movie reference (self-contained unchecked)?
Hope that helps,
G.

Exporting TGA sequences from FCP

I have been successfully exporting targa sequences with embedded Alpha's from FCP using QT conversion. However, the compression that is automatically put on this, (which is probably RLE or LZW?) is creating individual targas with different file sizes, ie, 128kb, 72kb etc etc.
When exporting from AE you have the option to turn off the RLE compression which results in consistent file sizes, (about 1.6mb for D1 Pal frames). Does anybody know if it is possible to turn the compression off when exporting from FCP?

Shane helped me out, I was expecting the video on the screen to show in high quality. he explained that that's not how it works, video to the screen is not of the quality you get in the final export.

Exporting at Sequences settings... Changes aspect ratio.

I'm preparing some 16:9 DV footage for a Multi-Clip edit. So I'm Exporting a few sequences to my HD to re-import as a clip, at that point they are in sync for Muli Clip.
When I Export and deselsect 'make self contained movie', it comes back into FCP at Full Screen. I really want to use this option to save a ton of HD space. If I export and check 'make self contained movie', it re-imports at the correct Wide Screen aspect ration. How can I not make a self contained movie and maintain aspect ratio? I've had this problem since I bought FCP and gone through all the updates.
When I Export a Movie, I'm simply going to Export>QuitimeMovie (use sequence settings).
Thanks for your time.
-Monty

I don't know where else to access that checkbox besides Sequence Settings, there it has been checked since the project started.
Well my Multi Clip training only goes as far as Lynda.com's coverage. My original clips that I capture were from two different cameras that didn't share the same time code or start time. Also, both camera started and stopped many times individually and lastly I had an external audio source to fly in. So to my thinking at the moment, I had to sort the video and audio clips into 1 sequence per camera so they all share the same start/stop time and duration. At this point since Multi-Clip doesn't edit Sequences, only clips, I export the sequences and re-import them as clips. If you feel like explaining an easier way, I'm all ears, thank you.

Exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC is taking hours

I am new again to Premiere after a 10 year hiatus. I have Premiere Pro CC and as exciting as it is to have the entire suite of products, I feel like resorting to iMovie after trying to export. I was initially getting acquainted with After Effects and solved my render times there after a little frustration, but this seems to be taking me down!
I am creating a "movie" that will be projected on a 4:3 aspect, 20'x15' screen. I created a sequence that's 4 minutes long and it's got a .mov that I rendered from After Effects at the beginning, then a bunch of still images that each last around 5 seconds with a cross dissolve in between each. In the middle there is another .mov from After Effects (bubble effects).
I created the sequence with settings of: Editing Mode - QuickTime DV NTSC, 29.97 fps.
When I try to export the sequence, I use QuickTime for the format; the preset is NTSC DV. This sets the video codec to DV25 NTSC. I've tried rendering with this codec and changing the codec to mpeg-4. I've also rendered with the quality set to as low as 65% with the mpeg-4 codec.
Each time, the "Estimted Time Remaining" just climbs and climbs. I've managed to get to 13% encoded and the time remaining is around an hour, but keeps climbing with each percent rendered.
I have a 27" iMac with 3.1 ghz Intel Core i5 processor, 4gb memory and running OS X 10.7.5
If anyone can help me with export settings or a way to decrease the time, I'd very much appreciate it. I have searched for this topic and each solution I found involves exporting for the web.

How to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?

Hi All,
I am new to premiere cs4,
earlier i used premire 6.5 for video editing.
in premiere 6.5 for exporting video i had used procoder 2.0
after procoder instalation it comes as plug in premiere 6.5 by using procoder i can export timeline as my desired video format.
but now this procoder is not working in premiere cs4
after i installed procoder it is not showing in premiere cs4.
i tried export option in premiere cs4 but it has no .vob option for export
now how can i export timeline sequence as .vob file and
how can i work with procoder in premiere cs4? is there any chance to install procoder in premiere cs4?
Thanks,
Murali.

I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.
Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.
While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.
To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:
You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.
Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.
Hunt
PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

Export tables, sequence, and package question

Hi all,
I've export table like: exp username/password file=export.dmp log=export.log tables=A statistics=none.
The export statement above just export only the table "A" structure not the table "A" data. So, how can I move all the data from table "A" to table "B".
How do I export the sequence, and package and its data also?
Thank you very much
Kevin

Can you create a DBlink in order to do the insert into B select * from A.
Also, you can use the SQL*Plus Copy command.
Here are some links for COPY command:
