Exporting to web size Quicktime video from FCP Problems

I have run into a problem...
A few weeks ago and checked my Software Update and noticed that their was a newer version of Quicktime, so I installed the update and now have the newest version of Quicktime. Every since then, when exporting to Quicktime using the Export - Using Quicktime Coversion commands. The Use settings have changed. They are now...
LAN/Intranet
Broadband - High
Broadband - Medium
Broadband - Low
Dial Up
Dial Up - Audio Only
Streaming - Medium
Streaming - Low
These are the choices I have now after updating my Quicktime. They have changed since before. With the older version of Quicktime, I used to be able to select the highest quality option, LAN and get a very good picture and a decent file size. For example, a 2 minute 16 second video was 16.5 MB.
Now when I go to export using the LAN setting, it takes forever and always seems to start at 7% completed, saving that less than a minute until completion, then it slowly savs, 2 minutes until completion, 4 minutes etc. until it says 45 minutes.
Something is wrong and I don't know what. Please help.
Thanks

Well I did a search of the forums and found this infomation...that Compressing as H.264 means that only people with Quicktime 7 can view the movie. I checked my compression settings and indeed the default compression setting I was exporting with was H.264.
What was the compression I had before I upgraded to Quicktime 7? I think if I switch my compreesion to this from H.264 my problems could be solved.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

(1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
(2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

Exporting video from FCP scrunches it.

When I export my video from FCP it gets scrunched. Imagine that you start with a square and you export it and it comes out like a vertical rectangle. It looks correct in FCPs image and wireframe box, but it is not correct according to the title safe boxes. When I play the exported video it includes black space on both sider of the video. What can I do? I set the Motion project presets to NTSC DV (720 X 480) and FCP sequence settings to NTSC DV (3:2) (720 X 480) and I don't have the Anamorphic 16:9 checked. How can I export this without scrunching or squeezing it?

Welcome to the family.
You can only go through your settings very carefully, one at a time. If the sequence is DV, the clips are DV, and the export is DV, the resulting file will be DV. Our experience around here is this question is 99.9% user error caused by the fact that FCP's various settings are weirdly conflicting with common sense or other parts of the process.
Good questions to answer: Why are you exporting out of FCP and where are you viewing this exported file?

My iphoto doesnt let me export an album to quicktime video.

Since i updated my iphoto, when i try to export an album to quicktime video says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it. Anybody know why is happening that.

i try to export an album to quicktime video
What do you mean? Are you trying to render a slideshow as a quicktime video? What exactly is the error message?
says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it.
What file cannot be found? If it is an image file, remove the offending photo from the slideshow. Maybe for one of your images the original master image file cannot be found. Do you see any exclamation points on the thumbnails of your photos?

BTW: This is the iPhoto on IOS devices forum. I'll ask the community hosts to relocate your question to the iLife iPhoto forum. You will get more help there.

None of the quicktime videos from websites play anymore. This started yesterday. Before that I could play them all. Now none of them work. Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

Help Emergency for Exporting Quicktime Movie from FCP

Hello -
Not sure if anyone is up at this hour, but I have a huge grant deadline TODAY and we are having trouble getting my film trailer onto a DVD. NOT newbies, checked manuals and searched more than a few forums.
Details: 11-minute sequence made with FCP version 5.0.3 G4 Tower Dual 800 Processor.
Following suggestions found here and other places, we selected sequence in FCP > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion
There is supposed to be an MPEG 2 format choice that comes up but it does not. Other choices but not MPEG 2.
In the past the editor has exported as a regular quicktime movie, self-contained, and dragged it into DVDSP and the conversion was done in DVDSP. When we try that we get "incompatible format."
So we have the trailer sequence as a regular quicktime movie, and an MPEG4 which may be of use as a coaster since from what I've read it's not readable in most DVD players.
Is there any way to convert the MPEG 4 sequence to MPEG 2 so it can be seen on a DVD player?
Please, Please help with any suggestions. Manuals HAVE been consulted prior to posting. Have been up all night, and I have to get this trailer in today. thank you for any help you can offer.

so we have one cooking in the oven now -
we ended up going with Best/120min/4:3 because the 90-min one didn't allow us to choose "all"
It's an 11-minute sequence, and hopefully in not-too-long it will be recorded on a DVD. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you responded to my smoke signal! (I am, in fact, quite fried at this point).
I'm kind of surprised that after an hour searching about this on this forum and others, no mention of how to actually do this despite a lot of mentions of "threads about this." I tried so many searches using different terms and date ranges, but i'm just glad that you were at or near your computer.
Again, thank you and sending lots of gratitude from NY. It's still cooking, so hopefully I'm out of the woods, but it will be nice if things go smoother now that the sun is up over here.
grazie

How can i export lossless video from FCP for Episode Pro?

Hi,
i am looking for a way to export videos from Final Cut Pro in order to use it in Episode Pro for further converting.
I know i xould use Compressor an just import the Episode settings into Compressor, but that's gonna obstruct my workflow and - to be honest - i hate Compressor.
So what video format is the best for this kind of project?
Thanks,
Heidi

If i do it like David says the titles are displayed with different fonts.
Unfortunately the source material is on an external Drive connected via Firewire 800 to a mac in the office next to mine. Our macs are connectet via gigabit ethernet.
Something doesn't sound right.
First, If you render the Sequence before exporting it for Episode, it should not matter whether or where the fonts are installed. Are you sure everything is rendered?
Second, are actually saying that your are editing material in your Final Cut timeline that is coming in over a network connection in another office? You must spend an awful lot of time, drumming your fingers on the desk!
We export everything we do to Episode for conversion to Flash. It just works.

Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
Is there a way to save the other videos?

Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

Safari-Leopard: Quicktime Videos from Web Pages - GARBLED AUDIO

OK, so here is the problem:
1. I am using (the new) Leopard, and all updates have been downloaded and installed successfully.
2. In Safari, when an (embedded) video is present, the video appears perfect. However, the audio is garbled, and unintelligible. This is true for EVERY video I've tried to view on a webpage.
3. I've saved a few videos as Quicktimes to my desktop, and opened directly with Quicktime. The same problem occurs, without fail - GARBLED AUDIO
4. The most recent "test" was a Quicktime using the AAC, H.264 Codec.
5. It seems as if I have installed all of the appropriate plug-ins, but can't be sure of this.
So it seems as if this might indeed be a Quicktime problem, and not a Safari problem, but thought I would post here in case others are having similar issues. I will make the same post in the Quicktime forum as well.
What is the solution?!?!?!??
rw

Hi Robert
A number of Quicktime/Safari issues have surfaced with Leopard. Here's one example.
Have you looked at your Audio settings in your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings panel? In my panel, everything is selected except for Sound Designer II. Might be helpful to uncheck the Audio setting, select "done", then go back to the panel and select it again. Close the panel and try an audio in Safari again.
In your response here, please provide a link to your thread in the Quicktime forum. While Apple discourages posting the same issue in multiple forums, I think in this case the issue may be more Quicktime related than specific to Safari. So good to cover both bases.

IDVD behaving strangely with HDV video from FCP X and FCP 7?

AVCHD exported from FCP X as ProRes 422 works perfectly in iDVD producing a 16:9 DVD.
HDV doesn't, even though QT Player plays it perfectly.
The odd thing is that 4 years ago, using legacy FCP my exported HDV videos had no problems being recognised as 16:9 by iDVD.
So why are FCP X produced HDV videos not recognised as 16:9?
P.S. I know that iDVD never recognised DV in the 16:9 format but it always worked with HDV.
Incidentally, the old trick of opening it in QT Pro and changing the frame size to 1024 x 576 does not work!
Even stranger, I have just opened the HDV clips in FCP 7 and exported them as a QuickTime Movie.
iDVD plays them back in the correct aspect ratio but look at the effect . . . . muted colours and green patterns all over.
This never happened in the past!

I mentioned several problems so I don't know which one you are referring to.
After experimenting I found some workarounds.
To cure the squashed image I created a ProRes 422 preset in Compressor 4 with a frame size of 1920 x 1080 and exported from FCP X using Compressor Presets.
Everything now works perfectly except the encoding seems to take longer.
I got rid of the moire pattern when using FCP 7 by exporting as ProRes 422 1920 x 1080.

How can I export a slideshow as Quicktime video in iPhoto 9.5.1?

I want to export a slideshow I created in iPhoto 9.5.1 as a Quicktime video, but neither File > Export nor the Export button at the bottom give me a Custom Export option. I believe this was an option in older versions of iPhoto. Thanks in advance!

iPhoto 9.5.1 no longer can export as a QuickTime movie.
You will have to convert the exported video file to add a QuickTime wrapper. Try to save a QuickTime movie from QuickTime 7. (download here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.)

No HD Video from FCP w/ QTP

I have filmed a series of videos in HD and edited them in FCP Studio 1 (this includes QTP). I have exported the videos and can play them with my PPC G5 Dual Core (10.4.11) in QTP.
The problem is when I transfer them to my Intel iMac G5 (10.4.11) there is no video only sound. Both computers have FCP Studio 1 that includes QTP. I have done all the nessesary updates.
I can play HD trailers from the Apple site fine.....any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure what codec is used, but I'm using the Sony Z1 HDV. Capture, edit and export a sequence (using current settings) When the video is played in QTP I have audio and no video, QTP says it can't play the video. But I transfer the same video to the G5 dual core and it plays fine and looks amazing in QTP.
I checked the advanced tab but the only options were for synth, transport, kiosk and to use older codecs (legacy)
We have the exact setups on both computers, same OSX 10.4.11, FCP Studio 1 and QTP 7.5.5. The only difference is PPC G5 dual core and G5iMac Intel.
I would think that FCP studio would supply the codecs and I wouldn't need any 3rd party software.
Of course I can play the video in FCP but I would like to be able to show the video in QTP.
any ideas?
It must be an Intel processor problem!

Copy QuickTime video from Safari.

After updating to QuickTime 7.0.2 I found a web site called Video-C that plays music video clips in Safari.
http://www.video-c.co.uk/classic.asp?vidref=mado004
I'm looking for a way to save copies of these short videos if there is a way to do this. I'm using Panther and Tiger, but I don't have Quicktime Pro, not yet at least. In the past I've copied QuickTime music videos that came on a CD as a bonus, but that was just drag and drop.
Photoscene

The "web archive" thang is new to Safari 2 in Tiger.
In versions of Safari 1.x bundled with OSX.3.8 & earlier, you could select "Window > Activity", locate the line item for the embedded mov and then option double-click to download it, no need for QT Pro and no problem with reference movs. Unfortunately, this sneaky feature was removed beginning with Safari in OSX.3.9 (specifically, embedded movs were masked to prevent them from showing up in the Activity window).
If you have an OSX.3.8 Combo Updater lying around, you could try to use Pacifist to extract that old version of Safari, but no guarantees that it would work properly running on a newer version of OSX.
EDIT: FWIW, the direct URL to that clip you cited above is http://www.vids-c.co.uk/vids/madonna/mado004.mov . Safari in OSX.2.8 told me so!

Wanto output video from FCP to tv-monitor..

I've been searching for an answere in this forum aswell as PD150 forums..
Please help, I think of myself as a logical person but just can't figure this one out.
I try to output the video signal from FCP to a tv-monitor usin a Sony PD150 in the middle.
That is; Firewire from my G4 into my camera, s-video to scart into my monitor.
I've been fiddeling with the camera settigs but found nothing that indicates signal in/out or likewise.
I know that this isn't a PD150 forum but i thought I could find someone experienced here.
Thanks for answeres in advanced, Erik

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section
