Exporting Video for iAd Producer

I was wondering what to use to export video for use in iAd Producer. I have quicktime 7 and also premiere pro. I am trying to go by the specs that I get in iad blue prints, but I can't seem to find the correct way to make it work.
TIA!

The spec document attached to any downloaded iAd Blureprint project contains the requirements for video you'll include in iAd Producer projects. The settings you'll use to export to these requirements will vary based on the tools you're using but knowing the specs is the hard part.
Cheers,
-Mark

Exporting video for iPod - audio OK but video is "white"

I know this issue has been raised before but I cannot find a clear resolution anywhere - happy to be pointed to the right place.
Some time ago I converted some old VHS home movies to DVD and they play fine. To view them via AppleTV I've converted them to MP4 using H.264/AAC via MEGUI, and they work fine in iTunes on the PC and on AppleTV.
Once they were in iTunes I tried converting them for iPod but the output is a blank white video screen though the audio is fine.
To diagnose the problem I tried loading the MP4 version directly into Quicktime (Version 7.6.8)where the play fine. Then I tried exporting them for iPod and I get the same white screen plus audio.
I've seen this issue dismissed as due to some form of DRM but I doubt that is the case here. The video is my own, the DVDs I created are not CSS protected and the MP4s are also unprotected.
I've also seen it attributed to a missing codec, but that is unlikely given both iTunes and Quicktime play the videos without a hitch.
Any clues on how to proceed?
John

Last post before I leave things alone for a while.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes no longer chews up lots of CPU when trying to convert one particular Quicktime created file.
I've also recreated each file again from the same source, the AVI encoded as DV-PAL with screen res of 720x576. I created a series of test cases to try to pin the problem down and I think the best exposition is the following -
The problem
An MPEG4 file exported from Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV and can be converted for iPod.
An almost identical MPEG4 file created by MEGUI using the x264 encoder, latest build 1649, and all the same settings as Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV but when converted for iPod produces a file with audio but the video is "white". Looking at the file size, less than 2mb, it is pretty obvious that the video stream is simply not there.
Clues
Quicktime Movie Inspector reports the screen resolution of the file it exported as 720x540 while for the MEGUI created file it reports a very odd 787x576. Note that Windows Media Player and YAMB (MP4Box utility) both report this same file as 720x576 which is what I would expect as MEGUI did not resize the video. As an aside, WMP and YAMB also report the Quicktime created file as 720x540 so they agree with Quicktime on that score at least.
Obvious Question
Why does Quicktime report an incorrect screen resolution, and is this contributing to the conversion problem in iTunes?
My understanding is that MPEG4 uses 16x16 macroblocks and so the dimensions of anything to be encoded must be in multiples of 16 and 787 is not a multiple of 16.
Of course, the 787x576 screen resolution could be a red herring.
Details from Quicktime Movie Inspector follow:

Exporting video for ipod is making huge files.

I am new to Final Cut Express. I have been playing with exporting videos, specifically for ipod. However, the size is coming out huge. Instead of getting an 8mb file as I am used to in imovie, it is coming out 3 times as big about 24 mb.
I am using the same format, it has to be somewhere in settings. However, QT is not allowing me to adjust the size.
I am wanting to put these files on my .mac site using iweb, so any advice would be appreciated.

Premiere CS4 exported videos for ipod all show black screen when played

Hi,
I am trying to export a video for an ipod from an mp4 source file.
The project settings are set to ipod and so are the export settings. I get a normal video file (mp4) with the right resolution etc. The sync with itunes works without problems and i get the right thumbnail of the video in the Ipod menu.
But when i try to play the video i only get a black screen, the timer is running and i have sound.
I think i have tried all the possible settings. None of them worked.
Can you help me? Where is the problem?
Thank you

export to a regular .wmv file, or any other type you want.
now use a program like this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-movie-converter.html
If you have deep pockets you can try Sorenson Squeeze.
or you can try this one
http://www.xilisoft.com/ipod-video-converter.html
unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem the way you wish. ( a free fix )
I'd do a good Google search for answers, with some good keywords, and you may find
a solution that won't cost you anything.

Error -108 while exporting video for Apple TV

Anyone have a clue why I would be getting at error -108 in QuickTime Pro while converting an MPEG-4 file to Apple TV format? I was just doing File/Export and selecting "Movie to Apple TV" as the export format.
I'm using QT Pro on Vista. The full error message is "Error -108: An unknown error has occured." It came up (probably) at the very end of the export. (The export seemed to running fine, and it was past 50% when I left to go out for awhile. The error was up on the screen when I came back.) The source video is about 2.5 GB, and should be a fairly normal MPEG-4 video, 30fps, 720x480. The error message itself isn't very helpful, obviously.

sorry, are you sure?
when I bought my ATV I compared ATV1 and ATV2 and the video performances are the same, infact I play my video in 1280x720 with my ATV but it is convert with toast.
I compared the same video in ATV (720p) and in mpeg 2 (1920x1080 25 Mb/sec) with my medley 4geek and the quality is the same.
Sorry, am I sure about what ?
Apple TV 1 will only play 720p movies at 24 or 25 fps up to 5 Mbps or 960 x 540 at 30 fps, the Apple TV will play video at all frame rates at 720p and around about double the data rate.
Are you sure your camera produces mpeg2 files. If so you might not see an awful lot of difference between the original and the converted videos because h264 is significantly more efficient than mpeg2, although I'd expect you to see some. If your files from your camera are actually h264 wrapped in an mpeg2 container then I'd expect you to see more difference.
another problem, is impossible to create a video .mpe2(fullhd) with imovie, for that I bought ATV.
I don't fully understand what you are asking here.
why toast convert correct to ATV and apple software no?
Possibly because when you are using toast you are choosing a datarate that is compatible with the Apple TV (ie 5 Mbps or less), whereas if you are using (for example) quicktime preset for the Apple TV, you might be making files that are compatible with the Apple TV 2 but not the Apple TV 2, but it's difficult to say without knowing what settings you are using.

What are the best settings to export video for Blip.tv?

I have CS5.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Their suggestions are anything but helpful for Adobe:
http://support.blip.tv/entries/344530-how-should-i-export-my-videos-fo r-blip-tv
Thing is, I had Premiere Elements 8 and 10, which both had no issues with making and uploading MPGs, but Pro's settings are... well, I'd call them "messed up". Part of the issue might be that Elements and Pro ands unforgiveably disimilar in too many aspects (I'd argue 8 was functionally better than 10). Why are settings seemingly unavailable, or completely different? I wasted an entire day, rendering the same video in different formats, because Pro didn;t have the same available settings as I could with Elements 10.
Regardless of my complaints. The question is still this: What settings should I use for esporting videos to Blip.tv? The answer never really gets answered over there, but I am asking there too.
Ultimately, I'm sending MP4 videos, and they are absolutely fine on my computer, but are squished over there. So if anyone else has any more experience with Blip.tv, maybe they can answer it. They don;t seem to like Adobe/PC software much to care to give settings.

Try a YT or Vimeo preset, adjust framerate accordently
I do not understand their field suggestions. Web is always no fields regardles the source.

Exporting video for the web for windows Media player

What software can i use to compress an AVI file for the web. The finished product will be WMA file.

WMA is Windows Media Audio. I think what you meant is WMV (Windows Media Video). To export to that format on a Mac you'll need Flip4ac, available from www.flip4mac.com Once you've installed it, it adds the WMV and WMA export option to QT and other apps such as Sorenson Squeeze.

Exporting video for use in website

I know this topic has been addressed before, but after using the search feature, I wasnt able to really get anywhere for my particular situation.
I have used FCP HD to edit a 3.5 minute video. Now I want to export it so that it can be posted on a webpage. I exported it as a QT movie, using the H.264 codec, and a frame size of 320x240, and the file size is about 30 megs. The guy that does the website Im tyring to put this video on said to shoot for the 5-10 meg range. Is it possible to get this video down to that size range ? I have read before somewhere to shoot for about 3 megs per minute. That would put this 3:30 video around 10 megs. How can I get it smaller ?
And I also know that cutting size also reduces quality. I tried some other settings and got the file down to 18 megs, but that was using 15 fps and the quality did not look good.
Should I be using the H.264 codec for this, or is there any way to use a different codec that is more widely accepted and still achieve a small file size ?
Thanks.
Powerbook G4

So is 30 megs a reasonable size file for posting on a website ? Will that just make the download times longer ? And would it be better to set it up for streaming ? I know I've seen it many places where you just click on the movie link on the web page and the movie window pops up and begins playing the video as it downloads the rest. Is this actually downloading ? Im guessing it is either the "fast start" or the "streaming", but Im not sure which.
And I know I've read somewhere on this forum to expect about 3 megs per minute - is this referring to something else like wmv files or something ?

Exporting videos for use in PowerPoint

I have a seven minute video I am trying to export for use in a PowerPoint presentation. Everything plays fine - the video is more grainy that I would have liked - but the titles just show up as black screens. I can still hear the audio but it will just flash the words for a split second and then turn to a black screen.
Do you have any idea why this may be happening? Is there a different format I should be using or is it simply a PowerPoint problem?

I don't know what "Optimize Stills" means. When I say I'm very new at video editing, I mean brand new. I was able to put together a 45 second news-clip-style video of our latest staff function but this is pushing eight minutes and is an integral part of our organization's upcoming forums next Tuesday.
Do you think I should be contacting Microsoft about what the issue might be with PowerPoint, instead of worrying about my file?
The weird thing is, when I just Export-Movie, it comes out fine in Windows Media Player but wonky in PP. When I Export-Adobe Encode-WMV, it won't even open on my computer or play in Windows Media Player. Any suggestions on compressing the file further without any problems?

Exporting Video for iTouch

I have been at this for hours. Talked to Apple support and they can't help me. Quicktime Pro cannot export a .wmv or anything so that I can use it with my iTouch. Un-believably when I open Quicktime Pro. It goes to the internet. When I ask it to export a file to say MPeg4 it encodes the internet page. This does this on both a Vista Machine and a XP machine. All I want to do is import .wmv from my camcorder and put these small video's on the iTouch.
Can anybody here help because normal Apple support can't.

QuickTime for Windows cannot import, play nor convert WMV files. So if what you have are WMV files, you'll need a different tool to handle the conversion.

Exporting video for Palm T5

I have a new Palm pda which plays Quick Time videos, but I can't get them to fill the 320x480 screen. I tried rotating them, which at least gets them in the right direction, after exporting them as Quick Time movies, but they show up in a much reduced size. I tried setting the screen pixels in Quick Time video properties to 320x480 but that makes no difference when viewed on the Palm (which, if it matters, converts them in the synching process to .asf files).

Well, that worked in the sense that it produced a nice image on the Palm screen, but still one surrounded by a big black border with more than enough area to allow the image to be quite a bit bigger without changing its aspect ratio or going beyond the edge (so to speak). It's probably something to do with the Palm importing procedure, although the same thing does not happen to still pictures from iPhoto.

Exporting video for web

I'm needing to export a 1 minute 20 second clip for use on a client's web site and I was wondering what the best export settings were for this. The client just said, "I want the highest quality with the most compatibility." What would be my best options here?

Wow -- we get this here a lot. Use the forum search for your exact title and you'll get a bunch of replies.
I like File - Export - Quicktime Conversion - Change Default to BROADBAND HIGH and use the OPTIONS button to change the SIZE if you are dealing with 16:9 footage. I like 480x270 for that.
Anyway - good luck,

Exported video, issues with the PAT/PMT

We are trying to export video for use on a cable TV system. When I try to bring the video into the system, it fails with the follwing error.....
Import Failed: (FAIL: Unable to find a valid PAT, PMT, or PID described in the PAT/PMT)
We have tried to export the video as an .mpg, and .avi, and a .ts file. I am not sure if this is a Codec issue or if there is a setting htat is being missed when we are exporting the file.
Has anyone had an issue like this and if so what was the solution?
Thank you in advance for your time.

I have no idea what those parameters are, but I'm pretty sure there are no user setting in any Adobe software to control them.

Choppy Export Video - Export Settings, Sequence Settings, Capture Settings

Hi all,
New to this forum and new to Final Cut Pro. Please forgive me if I ask bonehead questions... Please humor me and help me solve my problem.
First off... Equipment
CPU:
12" Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz
~1.25 Gig RAM
Camera:
Canon GL2
Problem:
When exporting video, it comes out choppy... as in three to seven frames per 45 seconds of video. The quality of the images is also poor, with horizontal lines where there is movement of the subject. The audio turns out just fine.
What I am doing now:
Capture:
MiniDV through FireWire - DV NTsc 48 khz
The footage looks good while editing... smooth
Exporting:
I have tried quite a few different settings using the Quicktime Conversion.
Ultimately, I would like to export video for the following uses:
-Full-Size .mov Files burned to DVDs to play in Quicktime (also .avi)
-DVD quality for putting together DVDs that will play on a DVD player
-Web upload
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help...
-JBH

Not 'bonehead' but certainly basic stuff...
Full size to put on data DVD:
Two options (one of which is NOT avi): File - Export - QTMovie - Current Settings - Selfcontained. This is the highest resolution you can export of your cut film. However, it will be a HUGE file size and you will only be able to fit a limited number of minutes on a 4.x gig dvd disc. Second option is to File - Export - QTConversion... Choose the highest quality from the dropdown menu and hit export. This will end up smaller... but will indeed have a 'quality' loss due to compression. Do take them OFF the disc when playing on a computer as they will choke during playback from the disc itself.
Export for DVD Player to TV (and DVD Player on Computers):
File - Export - QT Movie - Current Settings - not selfcontained. Take THAT file to COMPRESSOR and use the export presets for your length of movie. I like the 90 minute high quality 2 pass version for anything 90 minutes or less - I stay away from the 60 minute one. Do make sure you export the ac3 audio too. This will give you two files that you need to take to DVDSP to put together and build a DVD with. (else you can take the exported file before compressor and drop it into iDVD if you want). The quality will STILL be compressed, but is what it is for 'dvd quality' on a mac.
Web Upload:
File - Export - QT Conversion... pulldown to Broadband High. I like that setting as is, but if I'm working with anamorphic material I'll need to hit the OPTIONS button and change the size (480x270).
Looks like this and is 3-5 megs per minute: http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ThreeBoysMovies/Entries/2006/7/20_Entry1.html
Good luck,
