Exporting to avi or mov on a Mac

Hello. I'm just learning how to use Captivate on request from a client so this may be a bit of a noobie question. I'm using Captivate 5 on a Mac. All the tutorials I've seen on how to export captured video to .avi format has been for the Windows version of Captivate. When I go to publish the video and navigate to the Media tab, there is no useable video formats available. There's .exe .app .f4v and .f4v with a fixed frame rate. I need these videos exported to cut together in after effects, but without a video option as described in the Windows version of this software, this is making my task impossible. I can't seem to find any help for the Mac version.
If anyone can help with how to export to any sort of video file (avi, mp4, mov, whatever) on the Mac version, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

These .f4v options are both in fact videos, which you can use in video player / editors directly.
If you want to convert this video to MP4, you can do it with Adobe Media Encoder which is installed free with Captivate 5. Inside the Adobe Media Encoder, you need to select H.264 as the format. The select one of the suitable preset to get MP4 output.

Exporting to .avi or .mov format

How can I export and iMovie to a .avi or .mov format? For use by others with PC's , etc.

both, avi and mov are no formats, just containers, some say wrappers...
in the share/expert settings dialog, you're offerd with zillions of options...
PC users need to install the latest version of QuicktimeForWindows, free for download at apple.com...
avi is little supported on Mac... old school & wrong side of the street..
think about investing into some plug-ins from www.flip4mac.com …
form a users point of view, I collected some info on a website: CODEXX

Back to basics on Exporting to AVI or MOV - HD

Hello all!
I can't believe I'm asking this because I have exported from Premiere for years. (But not to MOV and AVI when dealing with HD -- it was always to some compressed format such as FLV or MP4, etc.))
And I asked a similar question just a few days ago. But now I need to be very specific about this specific project.
I need to export from premiere CS5 to a file I can use in After Effects. CS5
Yes, I've been trying dynamic link -- and have had nothing but problems, so for now, for this project I need to export from premiere to a old fashioned AVI or MOV file and then import into After Effects.
My sequence settings are 1920 x 1080. 29.97 FPS (FYI My orignal MOV video file sizes are Image Size: 1920 x 1080
The only AVI and MOV files export options I see will not give me the above sizes, or will give me sizes with black bars above and below.
I don't want to lose quality during the export for many reasons, including I will export out of After Effects back into Premiere when I am finished in After Effects.
Thanks
Rowby

OK some screenshot. Dont look at the source as i am on pal and HDV.
This is what you see after selecting Lagarith via the Preset DV AVI
The Preset turns to Custom
Uncheck the chain or lock or whatever it is called (Maintain aspect ratio while resizing)
and set every thing manually.

Export to .AVI in Premiere Pro on Mac

We are hoping to migrate from Final Cut to Premiere Pro CS5 (Mac) to produce video for a big screen in our gym (among other things), because of the seamless interaction between After Effects, Premiere and Encore. However, the program for the big screen needs the file to be an .AVI and won't accept any other format. I can't seem to find how to export the video as an .AVI on Premiere ProCS5. Is there a way to do this?

No, not directly. What codec do you need in the AVI? AVI is just a container, and can hold many different types of codecs, so you need to know what codec you specifically need for your use.

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

[email protected]
VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
I trust it much more.
And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
That codec will not be displayed in the extension.

I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
That is an uncompressed format.
While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
Good luck to you all!
And have a great week!

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!
Thanks!

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.

Exporting HD to AVI or Mov

Hi there
We have produced a movie in HD (PAL 1440 x 1080 , 25 frame p/s) .. running CS4, all good so far!
We are needing to get it to Eurosport on a digibeta tape, in Standard Definition 720x576.
We have a local guy who can convert from either AVI or MOV (prefers from HD) to the required format for Eurosport..
However we are having issues converting to either AVI or MOV:
1/ CS4 cannot seem to convert to AVI or Mov in HD PAL 1440 x 1080.. first prob
2/ ...so we thought why not just export to AVI Standard Definition 720x576 but find it distorts the graphics, photos and text captions ... Video and audio is fine
We also tryed exporting as a MPEG2 (1440 x 1080 , 25 frame p/s) and converting to AVI via Streamclip .. created a very large file (which is ok..) but the audio quality was bad, and when playing it seems to skip a frame (not sure if this is just how it plays on my machine...??)
Most likely our settings... but after many hours google searching hasn't quite got us the answer :-)
Welcome any suggestions ..
Thanks ..
Jen

HT3775 How can i play my avi formatted movies with the new mac OSX 10.9.2 update?

How can i play my avi formatted movies with the new mac OSX 10.9.2 update?

Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

HT3775 How to open an .AVI file (movie) with my new Mac

I'm not able to open an AVI file (movie) with my new iMac, any good advice? thanks gnogno

Down load from the Internet VLC media player. That should solve your problem.
Ciao.

Is it possible to export uncompressed .avi files over 4 gigabytes?

I want to export my 70+ min movie as one uncompressed .avi - file with FCP
but it turns out only 4 gigabytes of data (35-50 seconds) are visible in the exported clip. The rest is black.
How do I get around this problem?

The drive is mac standard (not FAT32) and I have checked + confirmed that the drive can take files larger than 4 gigabytes.
The .avi file I export IS the right size (200+ gigabytes).
Even though the audio and video doesn't show up after a certain point.
I use Quicktime conversion - avi (compressor : none, quality: best) etc.
I've tried saving with and without sound (48khz 16bit uncompressed)
When I save without sound, the exported file contained a little bit more video data (a few more seconds)
which supports my 4 gig limit theory.
I just want to export the movie in it's uncompressed state
for editing on a PC (premiere cs4)

No option to export as AVI?

Hi,
I am having problems with AME CS6 - having upgraded from 5.5. Initially running AME CS6 was a nightmare and it hung on loading the QuickTimeEncoder - the best fix for which was reply 15 (Seth) here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4540908 - thank you so much.
Now, however, I have no option to export as AVI - I had to completely reinstall and then overcome a "not activated" issue to get more export options than just H264 and FLV - once I did that and got a more comprehensive export list, it still omits AVI - has it been dropped as a standard? I doubt it, but I am at a loss - any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Ah, I had not made that connection. I have known export options like wmv from my mac in the past, but have recently switched to AME. For backwards compatibility, where windows can export dv, mov etc which are mac compatible, I feel the same should have been true for mac! For my colleagues with windows machines locked down by admin control who cannot install any decent encoders, I need to export as mpeg1 (yes 1 of all things) or avi for powerpoint purposes! At a bit of a loss now what to do to get my .mov files out to windows users with a limited system - them changing their system is not an option!
