Exporting Snapz clips from Quicktime Pro

Hey all,
I'm editing some clips I captured through Snapz, and I exported them using the info I found here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6199057&#6199057
It works well, but the clips come out almost slow-motion, and it's not exporting the entire clip. One clip was exported entirely, but when I imported it into FCP, it suddenly lost the last 30 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

If your capture settings have a different frames per second than your export settings, then it could account for the problem.
But you haven't provided much information.

Trying to export movie from QuickTime Pro to AVI and getting white screen

Hi there,
I am trying to export a movie from QuickTime Pro to an an AVI file. It goes through the process as if everything has worked, but when I open the finished file, all I get is a white screen with no audio or picture.
I need to save lectures from school from the school website to my computer so that I can watch them when I do not have internet access. QuickTime gives me the option to save the video straight from the web, but as soon as I turn off my AirPort it tells me that I need internet to continue watching the movie..
I need some way to get the files to my computer. Any suggestions?

AVI is just a container ... specifically, which codec are you using when exporting? And why export to AVI?
QuickTime gives me the option to save the video straight from the web, but as soon as I turn off my AirPort it tells me that I need internet to continue watching the movie
That usually means that your system doesn't have the codec installed needed to view the video, but your web browser is using a plugin that does. What format are the web videos? Flash?

What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
I have used several settings with not much luck including:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
MPEG-4 Video, H.264
Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
How much are you willing to spend?
Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

Is there a way to export still images from Quicktime or do I need Quicktime Pro (and is Quicktime Pro even still a thing?)

I'm sure there used to be an option "export to still image" but not any more.
Do I need to switch to Quicktime Pro? I used to have it back in my P.C. days but I'm not sure if Quicktime Pro is even a thing any more.
I don't want to go down the "screen grab" option because my source footage is larger than the screen size and so I want to do my cropping after I've exported the stills, not before.

I played a little with live trace in CS5. Seems to do quite a good job if I had the right contrast between the blood (white stuff) and the myocardium (the dark circular wall surrounding the white round area). Picture one is the contrasted picture taken off a dicom medium (these media allow adjusting the contrast very well). Left ventricle is the smiley face on the right of image. The right ventricle is on the left, kind of D shaped. The second picture is the live trace image (with "make and expand" selection). I selected the image with the "direct selection tool (A)", then used the live trace with make and expand. The tracing can not be seen here, but it is very accurate.
The third image is the same MRI image as in picture one without contrast adjustment. Live trace did bad - fourth picture.

Export to flash from prem pro 2.0

Hi can anyone tell me the exact procedure to go from my pp2.0
timeline to my website with the best quality flash, i use the 16x9
aspect ratio.
thank you

In Adobe Premiere Pro, select File/Export/Adobe Media
Encoder. A window will open where you can select the type of media
format you want to output. Under Format, choose Macromedia Flash
Video (flv), choose whether you want to export the entire sequence
or just the work area form your timeline, and for starters, select
a preset. Flash 8 NTSC 400 may work as a starting point. Then under
the "video" tab below, select "Options" button and another settings
window opens. Select "Show Advanced Settings" to tweak any
additional settings such as quality, codec, data rate or resizing
video, etc.
Once your settings are in place hit "OK" and you're done.
Occassionally I like to create small swf movies instead of flvs for
my website or CD. Rather than go into Flash and import the video
clip, I prefer to export an uncompressed avi from Premiere Pro
first. Then I bring it into Sorenson Squeeze for Flash, which lets
me import the full avi and tweak my settings in this program,
including the option to "embed" my flv in an swf or to link it, or
to even add pre-made video controller bars to my video.
For video professionals who do not want to get lost in the
geeky actionscripting of Flash, this is a nice, quick alternative
that produces great results.

Best of luck.

Exporting renamed clips from Prelude to PP CC

I'm using Prelude to rename clips for me. But when I send them to Premiere Pro I don't always get the full clip - I only get partial clips.
When I do a direct import through media browser in PP, the entire clips is there.
Am I missing an export setting in Prelude?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

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.

Exporting Muxed Files in Quicktime Pro 7 w/ MPEG-2 Component

I have .mpg files I need to be able to get into iDVD. They are MPG-2 muxed files. I have quicktime pro and the mpeg-2 component. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. Everyway I try either fails halfway through or I get no audio. I've trying to convert them to Mpeg-4. The answer is probably easy but I am new to Mac. any help would be great.
thanks

As you have discovered, QT does not support the export of sound from muxed mpeg files. Fortunately, this freeware will export to several formats. It also allows you to do some editing of mpegs without re-encoding if that is desired: Mpeg StreamClip

Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

Hello fellow editors!
I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.
I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

Aspect ratio wrong when importing from QuickTime Pro

Movies shot with Cannon still camera came out sideways. I used QuickTime Pro used to rotate them. They then look fine. However, when I import them into iMovie HD6, they remain vertical but are flattened down. I am sure it's a settings thing but this recent PC convert needs help!

So you shot in "portrait" instead of landscape?
I hope these are 320X240 instead of 640X480 files.
Easiest fix it to create an all black image file and use it as a background in QuickTime Pro.
Make the image 640X480. Import with QT Pro.
Select all and Copy.
Switch to your 320X240 movie (now 240X320), select all and "Add to Selection & Scale (Edit menu).
Open Movie Properties window.
Highlight the video track and adjust its offset and dimensions. Set its track "layer number" lower than the image file layer number. Negative numbers can be used.
Once happy with the file export to DV Stream.
Use the .dv file in iMovie.

Rotating clips in Quicktime Pro

I shot a series of clips in which I rotated my GL2 camera to get the subject into the shots without the distracting background. So now my all my clips are imported of course with the subject not right side up. She's shown standing vertically in the clips.
I tried using the GeeThree plug-in to re-angle the shots for right side up, but her head gets chopped off when the effect gets applied. I understand why, but I'm wondering if I could try to do the same thing using Quicktime Pro for better results. I haven't renewed my copy of Quicktime Pro since the last upgrade, but wanted to check if it would solve my problem before purchasing it for the third time.
Thanks for your feedback.

2ez4u, I'm thinking that if the media you're outputting your video to is not larger than the size of your video that some of that video will be chopped off or the video will be distorted.
My rotated clips are now 560x640. While they look fine in quicktime, I don't think they're going to fit in a standard 640x480 television screen. I'm thinking I might have to put the video inside a matt and save the entire project for viewing.
But, I'm not an expert on this. I'm desperately learning what I need to do because I got a client who wants her video like yesterday, even though we did the shoot on Sunday! Go figure.

Export multiple clips from one timeline

Hi,
Is there a way to export multiple clips into separate files from the timeline. So, basically i have a time line with many clips which i need to export to individual files, not one long video. In FCP 7 I would drag all these clips into a new folder and then batch export. But in FCPX?
Thanks!

Of course i's not "half baked". Just because it lacks a feature that you want doesn't make it so.
There isn't as NLE out there that doesn't attract complaints from some users about its functionality in some area or other.
Fortunately, the fully functional trial version gives us a good chance to find out first-hand whether the design meets our requirements.

Can I covert an clip from quicktime and create an image (jpeg)?

I have a clip from a movie that I would really like to convert into an image to share. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

Open the movie in QuickTime Player and move the playhead to the frame you wish to capture (right/left arrow keys step through frames).
Enlarge the movie to get the largest size image you can get before things get fuzzy and hit the Command and c keys (Copy).
Open the Preview app and under the File menu choose "New from Clipboard". Save the file as JPEG.
