Exporting timeline...

Hi,
I always like to be here and read other's issues, fixes, suggestions, tips and ideas. Great!!! and really like it.
As I'm a newbie who moved to Mac from painful Windows recently, I might be asking fundamental questions now and then. So, please bear with me. So, here is my question:
1. Say for example, I'm exporting FCP timeline (the timeline is not just straight cuts. It has multiple transitions, effects, filters etc). Now, my dilemma is this: If I export the timeline as a QT self contained movie file, will there be a generation loss of any kind as I'm again recreating all my clips + other stuff (transitions, effect, filters etc) to a QT self contained .MOV file?
Secondly, what happens to the clips with transitions, effects, filters? Aren't those rendered by Compressor?
I will then import the resulting QT movie file into a external encoder (Compressor, BitVice etc).
2. If I go for a QT. ref file, apart from the file size, how different is it when compared to QT. self contained movie?
3. Finally, when exporting can I strip the video from the audio as I may encode the audio as a DD/DTS file. My target is always DVD.
I already asked this question on some other thread but unfortunately, nobody really answered my question.
Appreciate feedback.
Rgds.

FCP is using FCP to render. When you export from FCP as a self contained file, all you are doing really is COPYING all the data from the timeline to a self contained QT file. If there is stuff not rendered, then FCP renders it before it exports. That self contained QT file has the exact same resolution as your timeline, only it is one file instead of many.
Compressor only comes into play when you choose EXPORT via COMPRESSOR, or if you open COMPRESSOR directly.

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.

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

10.0.9 Unable to Export Timeline

I'm seeing a lot of discussion over this and have searched the forum. No definitive answer so I am reposting here.
Problem: If I try to export aka "share" my timeline FCPX will crash at some point. I have gotten then Error 1 message with an offending frame value but most of the time it just stalls and I get the spinning wheel. Shortly after this the computer will lock up (not kernel panic just all applications and Finder freeze - and cannot force quit) and I then have to manually restart the machine by holding down the power button.
I have had this issue on MULTIPLE projects using different media from MULTIPLE cameras, all of the Canon 5Dmk2/mk3 and 7D variety. The projects all use mulitcam clips created in the latest version of Plural Eyes 3.
I am running FCPX 10.0.9 under OS 10.8.5. All projects running off of firewire 800 drives. I have not updated to Mavericks yet as it appears this does not solve the problem. I have a MBP 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo with 8GB RAM and GPU enabled, not the neweset machine but works just fine for editing even without proxy media.
I am not using any proxy media.
I have deleted all render files.
I have trashed prefs.
I have repaired disk permission.
I have created a new user account.
I have reinstalled FCPX.
I have checked for updates - there are no updates besides the new OS, FCPX and QT ProApp Codecs are up to date.
I have copy/pasted my project into a new project.
I have duplicated my project and events to a fresh drive.
I have hidden unused projects and events.
I have tried exporting using different codecs ProRes 422, 422 HQ, H264 etc. they all fail though at different points it seems.
**The only thing I have noticed that works is that if I go to a DIFFERENT MACHINE - either my iMac at the office or my friends MBP it renders out without any problem...** I cannot figure out what would be different about my machine after doing all of the above!
So, I am able to create and edit on the timeline but render it out on this machine. It will also crash when I try to "render all" on the timeline. The video is only 5 minutes long and contains no type or motion effects. No third party plugins are being used on the timeline.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have not done a witch hunt for bad frames as some suggest with ther error 1 message because I only have seen that message once and from what I am finding on the forums it doesn't seem to help much anyways and the issue seems to widespread. I am reluctant to update to Mavericks becuase I have not seen that it will solve the problem, just introduce "app nap" and possibly other issues.
Again I've tried about EVERYTHING as you can see and need to get this project off to the client, please if you have read the above and have any insight it would be massively appreciated.
Thanks,

When I asked about codecs I was thinking of conflicts that FCP might have with one that would have been installed from a third party vendor…
It would seem to be something at the system level since all the user-specific fixes appear to have had no effect. And you've already tried a comprehensive list of the suggestions that I would have thought of…and probably more.
You didn't mention available disk space but I assume you checked that as well and you have at least 15% free on your start-up and media drives.
Has any version of FCPX performed for you as expected in the past?
When you uninstalled the app, by any chance did you use FCS Remover? If you didn't, give it a try.

Premiere does not export timeline... Urgent!

Hi there,
I just came back from grading with my 40 minutes film.
They gave me a 4K 10bit DPX sequence.
I dropped in into my timeline, added some effects and want to export the film with audio now.
Unfortunately Premiere and Media Encoder do not export the film.
I can't even render the timeline with the command "Render Timeline".
I'm on the latest Premiere CC on Windows 7 Professional.
Thanks

Every time I tried to export the timeline Premiere started rendering audio clips.
I had about 200 seperate audio files spread across the timeline.
After the audio rendering was done Premiere wouldn't start with the video. It just stuck at 0 percent.
I just made a copy of my project and deleted all the audio files from the timeline.
Now premiere is rendering and exporting without any problems.
I might have to merge the audio channels into one file and then put it all together.

Batch Export Timeline Clips?

I have over 100 separate physician interviews in need of web export. I have created sequences (timelines) labeled Day1, Day2, etc... with 5-10 separate interviews on each timeline.
I am now needing to export these to a web capable format..
I have scoured the web for a solution to a batch export option, and so far, no luck..
I can't be asking too much from final cut, right?
Specs:
Final Cut Pro 6
Canon 7d H264 (1080, 30fps)

Select the Sequences in the Browser and goto File>Batch Export
Select desired format etc for Export.

Exporting Timeline from Speedgrade

I am working with Premiere Pro and Speedgrade CC. I find using the direct-link is fine but a bit limiting in terms of the full potential of Speedgrade. The direct-link from Premiere Pro also seems to slow up my system and grading becomes very clunky despite my 3.5Ghz i7, 3Tb fusion drive, 4gb graphics card, 32gb ram brand new iMac27 !
So I have exported my timeline from Premiere pro as an EDL and imported the clips natively into Speedgrade. I can now add grading layers etc and the processor seems to deal with this much better. Grading is fast and efficient working with the clips this way. The problem i have now is exporting from Speedgrade and getting my timeline back into Premiere Pro for finishing , titling etc and final export.
I have managed by default i think to export my timeline as individual clips using the PathElement-0 option from the Render panel ( i found this on a tutorial ) and the clips are saved in a folder as .mov files. When I import these back into Premiere Pro they are in a random order and not in sequence.
How can i now re-form my timeline from these clips in Premiere ?
I have tried saving an EDL from the Timeline tab in Speedgrade but this just refers back to the imported non-graded clips NOT the new graded clips in my Speedgrade timeline ?
Does anyone have a good Premiere Pro / Speedgrade roundtrip that excludes the Direct-Link to Speedgrade ???
Thanks
Best

Sorry to be so long in replying ... but here's my bit. Adobe's staffers have indicated they are moving from the "old" EDL process to the direct-link, and so ... it's not a heavily supported nor even considered part of the internal thinking process ... I think that's fair to say. Still available but not emphasized? I've noted the staffers don't tend to work here so much with internal-Adobe EDL questions, mostly for those who are clearly working with timelines from other sources and therefore MUST use EDL & XML importing.
I'm wondering if part of your slow-down issues are waiting until your editing is finished to edit-lock & THEN only taking a "final" timeline into Sg? Prior to the CC-model with the Direct Link so heavily incorporated, that was the ONLY thing that made sense. Now, it's so fast to buzz forth & back that working sub-sequences is becoming common and "standard" ... if for no other reason than Sg is faster in d-l mode with shorter sequences, rather than say working a single 87 minute sequence. My personal model is to take sequences over for basic correction early on, pretty much as soon as I've got them mostly sorted. Especially if I've got b-roll the quality or "feel" of which I'm not sure. (Some of my b-roll is provided by others ...) After seeing the way the look can be worked with each, I may even change some of my sequence editing choices. And playing back the full Master sequence in the Program Monitor I can see if I need to adjust any sub-sequences to better match.
As to using the old way ... I think using proxies might work better, but I don't have much experience with that. I know that was standard and most colorists knew how to do that sleeping. I did it a few times, and once or twice even got it right first off without futzing. Other times I was on here for questions, which got some raised eye-brow comments back & forth between the Experienced Masters ... "geez, dumb noob's anywayz ... "
SpeedGrade can do this, the controls are still there and pretty much unchanged if I never learned to decipher the Gobbledeegook Speak. Check out some of the tutorials for CS6 days, as that was still heavily used at that time.

Can't export timeline as a Windows Media file anymore.

Using Premiere 5.0.3 for over 2 yrs now. No problems until now. I first export my 30 min. timeline as a H.264 file as a master. No problem. Then I would export my timeline as a Windows Media file (NTSC Widescreen) for easier viewing on other computers. Again, no problem - until last week. Each time I try to export now as a WMV file, it takes the usual over an hour to do the conversion, but then when I look at the file information after it's completed, instead of the approx. 400 Mb file size, it will be some other smaller file size anywhere from 4 Mb to 217 Mb. Everytime I try to export again, (and waiting again over an hour each time for the conversion to complete), the file size will be something considerably less than it should be and different each time...but the time will always be what the video should be - approx. 30 min. If I view the video, it will abrutly end corresponding to the file size, IE - if the file size is 200 Mb, the video stops at about 15 min. What happened? Nothing changed in my computer. No new program was added. No settings were changed...and my editing computer is not connected to the Internet so as to avoid any possible contaminaton from outside sources.

Thanks Jim for your responses. It's suggestions like yours that get me to think in another direction, which is a good thing.
I never suspected anything wrong with the hard drive or any corresponding components because the drive worked fine otherwise - playing back clips already on it, transferring files from one drive to another, etc. At any rate, I opened up the computer case and swapped out the SATA cable to that drive (I have lots of spares of everything) and then did a defrag and check of the drive which all showed good. I then exported a couple more videos in the WMV format to that drive and everything worked fine, so hopefully all is good from now on.
Again, thanks for your help.

Exporting timeline in PE11

I have spent many hours video editing a wedding video filmed on a Canon XM2. The time line has many transitions and clip breaks. I am new to this and was hoping to export it as an AV file to embed the transitions and allow further editing (eg reduction of screen size to whole movie to maintain image quality on large screen TV) with minimal quality loss - is there any way to do this as the share options seem to be for final export only and no specific 'export to AV' option.
Many thanks
Richard Hazelwood

RichardHazelwood1
What are the properties of the Canon XM2 footage that you have on your Premiere Elements 11 Timeline? And, what is your Premiere Elements 11 project preset, selected by you or the program? (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate)
Could you clarify/verify your workflow? Are you working on the workflow concept of working with a large project in smaller segments and then importing the segments into a new grand project for the final export or something else?
For now generalizations addressed to what you wrote
the share options seem to be for final export only and no specific 'export to AV' option.
In Premiere Elements 11
Publish+Share
Computer
AVI
Is it that you are not seeing the AVI choice? If so, scroll down to it, using the scroll bar to the right of the Presets choices that start with Adobe Flash Video.
The presets under AVI should be
DV NTSC Standard
DV NTSC Widescreen
and
the PAL counterparts
and
Microsoft AVI
Export settings can be changed under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of a particular preset.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Exporting Timeline Information

Is there anyway to export the FCP timeline cuts. transition, takes, etc to a text file? In other words, I need some sort of text file of what takes where used in the right order. I run FCP 6 and I am getting a 7 file. and in case the XML FCP 7 file won't open in 6, I would like to recreate the timeline quickly knowing what takes were used. Some people are having problems opening XML FCP 7 files in 6.
Any way of doing that?

kind of. It's called an EDL or edit decision list and it's an export option. It's not particularly intuitive so you should expect some heavy sledding for a while. And it will only contain the information that is compatible with online edit controllers, basically, timecode ins and outs, source reels andsimple transition effects. It will not be of any use for shots that do not have a reel source, i.e. material that was not captured with device control. You can add source reels to most clips BEFORE you do the export and they will probably show up in an edl.

Exporting timeline error

Hi, Everytime I try to export, from either Premiere or Media encoder, I get an error that reads 'WinFile.cpp-785'. I have tried switching the formats and the settings. Nothing seems to work, be it H.264, Quicktime, MPEG, AVI, F4V. If I continue the process after the error message sometimes it will lock up and sometimes it will export the file with a horrible shreiking audio throughout the video. Can anyone help me with this? I really need to get this file exported.
Thanks in advance.

Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.

Best way to export timeline footage to Toast 10 (blu ray)

I have a 2hr production that has been shot on a Panasonic HMC150 AVCHD cam, L/T into FCP as Prorez LT and I would like to export this into Toast and burn a Blu Ray disc for my client. Is the best method to use Quicktime conversion to H264 or export as a Quicktime movie using current settings (prorez LT). My end destination is Toast 10.
Any help would be great ..........

Export current settings/self contained/video and audio/no recompression.
Don't do QT conversion.
Set your preferences for encoding in Toast, and use that self contained file.
Be prepared for a long encode.

Error exporting timeline to Quicktime

I am getting this error message.... "Error compiling movie, Unable to create or open file." I have no idea why this is happening.

I'm having the same problem. Every website I find on the
topic simply says to change the publish settings to Flash 5 - but
it's still not working. Anyone have insight? I even uninstalled my
previous version of QuickTime and re-installed the most current
(7.4.5) - no luck.

Gypsy-rigging a fast, "fake" XDCAM timeline export

I work in a training environment of a production facility where we currently shoot and edit XDCAM 1080/60i 35VBR footage. We started out shooting on DV and editing on Final Cut Pro G4 laptops, and gradually upgraded to XDCAM footage over a few years, and are now editing on macbook pro's, which are designed to handle XDCAM.
As a training department, I don't always have access to the newest equipment and have inherited alot of the older, retired, G4 powerbooks to use as training vehicles to bring staff up to speed on Final Cut Pro editing. While I start staff on standard definition DV material, we gradually work our way up to XDCAM, as that's the format they'll encounter when shooting real material.
Although it's a given that the G4's were never meant to edit HD XDCAM footage, when installed with FCP6, the G4's can handle the editing of XDCAM timelines fine, as long as you're doing mostly cuts. Any rendering is obviously extremely slow.
The big problem is exporting the timeline out as a quicktime file. That takes FOREVER on a G4. However, I suspect that if I change the paramaters of the export so that I'm not trying to export a 1440 x 1080 XDCAM file, I hope I can speed up the time it takes for the G4's to export that timeline. The end product they're exporting will never be used...it's just a practice package timeline, therefore, it doesn't really matter what the end format and size dimensions of that exported timeline are. I'm just trying to get them familiar with the export workflow.
So here is my question...can anyone recommend a particular spec I can use for exporting that XDCAM timeline that will speed up the export? I need to try to do the same thing for exporting XDCAM via COMPRESSOR...finding a droplet / codec or creating one, that will export a 2 minute XDCAM timeline in around 5-10 minutes, instead of the 30-45 minutes it would take to actually export it full size. Again, I'm not trying to make it end up as an XDCAM exported file. Any format and size will do...I just want the export to go faster on these older machines.
Any input or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nested timeline exports without audio (CS4)

Hi!
A problem with Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows Vista is puzzeling me quite a bit:
Timeline A consists of several timelines and effects. B is a timeline embedded in A. Timeline B by itself exports fine, i.e. with audio and video. However, when I export Timeline A, the part with timeline B has no audio.
What am I missing? Is this a Premiere CS4 bug?
Some more info: The raw material is wmv, for the parts that work as well as for the ones that don't. I also export as wmv. The original material was generated from mov files using the adobe media encoder.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer A.T.
