Exporting to flash from FCE

Hi people!
We've recently got FCE in work and we are trying to export to flash files but it tells us we don't have the relevant license. Does anyone know what this means? I've scoured the manual and there's nothing about exporting to Flash ( at least I've not found it!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Matt

I've only just brought FCE myself but I think that the feature is possibly only available in Final Cut Studio.
I need to save in flash format myself and with a little searching found VisualHub, it is available from the 'Downloads' page on the apple site. From reading the spiel it will convert the file that is created from FCE to any number of formats including .flv
Not sure if it works yet since while I've downloaded the program I haven't actually got a video to try it on right now.
Hope this helps and I'd certainly like to know how you get on since I need to convert to flash myself.
If I'm wrong about the feature only being available in Final Cut Studio I'm sure someone who is more experienced with FCE can point you in the right direction.

Exporting HD video from FCE

Hi,
What would be the best process from the point of export (in what video format) to actually burning an HD DVD when exporting from FCE 4.0 without losing quality?
I have -
DVDSP 4.0
Compressor 2.0

MacBook Pro Intel

CAn I export a Video captured and assembled in HD to a standard definition so it will fit on a normal >DVD?
Yes.
How to burn to a DVD with chapters etc?
You enter Chapter Markers into an FCE Timeline.
Try a search for details. Here's one;

You have to export the FCE Timeline using File >Export>QuickTime Movie.
If the Timeline is under 2 hours (single side, single layer DVD) it will work in iDVD with the correct settings entered in iDVD
iDVD also has to be configured to accept chapter markers.

Has anyone had any luck exporting to Flash from FC Server?

We haven't been able to get it to work with any of the third party encoders (Telestream, On2, Adobe) for Flash. If anyone has it working we would love to know how you did it!

I've also had no luck exporting to Flash, very frustratingly. In the logs I get an error message:
*ERROR: EMISSINGPARAM*
*Wrapper format missing from destination media format*
I'm not using Episode, just have Flash installed on the server and created a Compressor QuickTime Export Components preset.

Exporting to Quicktime from FCE

Here's hoping one of the more experienced members of this forum can guide me with answers to two questions please.
I shoot and edit 16:9 SD (as opposed to HD) and I have Quicktime Pro. My films are about 3 minutes long.
When I Export as Quicktime, the file is quite large, the quality seems good, but the format switches to 4:3 with the images all tall and thin.
** Is there a way I can export to Quicktime and preserve the 16:9 format?*
When I Export as Quicktime Conversion, I can preserve the 16:9 format. But the file is smaller and even the highest settings are not particularly good quality. Sometimes this is OK if I want to upload it to Vimeo or similar site, but it takes me two steps to get this 16:9 into a 4:3 ratio. (There is an option to switch to 4:3 by letterboxing, cropping or fit within frame - but this doesn't work in one pass from the FCE project). I have to export it as a 16:9 Quicktime Movie, open this in Quicktime Pro, and then re-export it in the 4:3 format using either letterboxing or cropping etc.
** Is there a way I can go from FCE to a letterboxed 4:3 file which is small enough to upload yet still looks good.*
Phew - long question. I hope it makes sense. After many years working with Avid I'm just entering the Final Cut world.
thanks
Simon

To answer your first question
1) Open your exported Quicktime movie in QuickTime Pro.
2) Go to Window/Show Movie Properties.
3) Click on "Video Track", then "Visual Settings."
4) Deselect "Preserve Aspect Ratio". In the "Scaled Size" box, type in a width of "853" pixels for NTSC or 1024 for PAL. Leave the height at 480.

Exporting to flash from keynote.

Am I able to export a keynote presentation to flash then add the flash file to my iweb .mac site? Like moving words etc...?
Thanks,
Andrew.

You can export to flash, but getting that file into your iWeb page would require editing the HTML after export.

Exporting HD video from FCE to iDVD

I'm finishing my first project with Final Cut Express and want to be sure I'm exporting my video correctly for iDVD.
I imported my NTSC 1080i video to FCE using the Apple Intermediate Codec 60-frame interlaced setting. Edited the video and it looks good.
I've rendered the video and mixed down the audio. I then exported a QuickTime reference .mov file and added that to my iDVD project.
When I look at the preview of the movie in iDVD I'm seeing a lot of interlacing lines. Ouch! Will this burn OK or am I in trouble? When I watch the reference movie on my computer it looks fine with no interlacing problem. I'll be making a test burn this evening but the suspense is killing me!
Every reference I've found says to do this just as I've done. Did I miss a step? Is there something else I should do for HD material? Should I use QuickTime Conversion in FCE to make a standard def 16x9 movie and use that for iDVD?
I've made lots of DVDs from HD material in iMovie and never had a problem.
Thanks for your help!

Not sure about what settings to use, but wanted to remind you that iDVD has a Save As Disc Image option which creates a virtual DVD on your desktop. You can mount and play this on your Mac just like an actual DVD (using DVD Player). So it's a cheap and precise way of previewing your video in standard DVD format.
You'd Copy the disc image to actual media using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility. The only differences between the two videos would be the result of viewing on a different monitor/TV, or errors introduced during the copy/burn process (typically bad disks or bad quality disks).

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.

What are the exact steps to export a sequence from FCE 4 to idvd.

New to mac/FCE, I have attempted to export sequence to quick time movie then save onto desktop. Then I just dragged the quick time movie from desktop into idvd. This worked, but is there a better way. Thanks - Chad

That's the way you do it. If you making the DVD right away and have finished work on the project you can export a reference movie, not self-contained, smaller and quicker.

Export to DVDSP4 from FCE 3.5?

Hi All,
I'm using FCE 3.5. I'd like to export a short segment to DVD SP4 in the same way that I can export from motion (and can later edit) so I can edit withiut disrupting the structure of my Dvd project. Any ideas?

That's not possible. You can't do that with FCP either. When you export you're sending a QT file of some sort not a project file the way you can a Motion project. That's only possible with a Motion or a LiveType project.

Exporting HD video from FCE to Standard DV format

CAn I export a Video captured and assembled in HD to a standard definition so it will fit on a normal DVD? How would I do that? and then How to burn to a DVD with chapters etc? You probably gathered I am new to this and learning very slowly... But many thanks for any help! Floor

Exporting still frame from FCE

When exporting a still frame created in FCE, is there a way to make it so the resolution is as high as possible?

There is no point in making the resolution higher than the original frame as it will not improve it.
You might be able to do it in Photoshop or a similar program.

General error when exporting to Quicktime from FCE

I've built a slideshow with still photos, text, and audio. I've done this at least 20 times. When I start exporting to Quicktime, as I want to burn a dvd in iDVD, the export stops at 27% completed and I get a "General Error". there is no explanation. I've rendered the single sequence many times and it says ok. It plays fine in FCE but won't export to Quicktime. How do I correct the problem?

I think I had the same problem that you are now having. I would get unexpected errors when trying to:
1) Log and Transfer videos to external hard drives.
2) Save my exports to an external Hard Drive.
3) Copy large video files to the External Hard Drive.
Assuming that you are using an external hard drive, chances are that isn't formatted correctly. It cannot be formatted in FAT32 or else large files (usually video) over 4GB cannot transfer. It may be that the file you are trying to export is larger than 4GB. If it is currently formatted FAT32 it needs to be formatted to Mac OS Extended. Hope I was of some help.

General Error (49) when exporting to Quicktime from FCE HD

I don't know what a "General Error (49)" is or how to fix it.
Any insight that can help me with a successful export would be appreciated.

"There's about 15GB free on the drive"
Right there could well be a problem.
DV uses about 13 gig an hour other formats even more. If the Timeline is over an hour you will have to sort something regards space. Over full drives are not a good idea in any case. Many consider drives 80% full to be just that.
Another option to explore is a faulty render file/s. Try deleting them and re-render if the drive option fails you.

Final Cut Express project exported to flash?

Is it possible? I have a video I want to host on my site, but in flash format.
Help/suggestions!
Thanks,

You need to either have Flash or a Flash encoder like one from On2 Technologies. You can then export to Flash from FCE.

Best way to export from FCE for compression?

Hi again, folks!
I've read/learned that, when you plan to compress your video, you should ideally export from your editing program in the final resolution (size) that you want the video to be. Apparently this is because editing programs do a better job of sizing the video than do compression programs (such as Sorenson Squeeze, which does its best work doing only compression). What I'm wondering is this: When I export to QuickTime from FCE, I have two options, namely Export as a QuickTime Movie, or Export Using QuickTime Conversion (which allows me to save as a QuickTime or other format). So, my question is, if I Export Using QuickTime Conversion, does this actually "convert" the video to some 'bastardized' version of QuickTime, or does it just reduce the size? I'm asking because I don't understand why, on the one hand, FCE refers to exporting a full size video as simply "Exporting as QuickTime" while on the other hand (eg. when I'm lowering the resolution), it's called "QuickTime Conversion" (which is lumped in with a whole bunch of other output format possibilities such as .avi, mpeg4, etc).
I'm probably not being as clear as I'd like, but more simply put, why does FCE consider going from hi-res QuickTime to low-res QuickTime a 'conversion'?

One suggestion I received (just tonight) from another forum was to export the video from FCE, but not as a self-contained movie; this way (I'm told), the video is not being compressed or otherwise altered, and hence will give me the best results when I compress
The information you received on the other forum was half right and half wrong. The difference between a self-contained movie and a movie that isn't (known as a 'reference' movie) is NOT the quality; it's that the self-contained movie is an exact copy of what's in your Sequence while the reference movie only refers to the original media and renders ... it doesn't copy it. Since reference movies rely on the original media (and render files) for playback or when used in other applications (like Sorenson Squeeze), they will not work properly on any other system nor will they work if any of the original media or render files are moved, deleted or otherwise altered.
The quality of the two types is identical.
