Exporting video from Avid editor to MPEG-4

HELP!!!! I have an internet film contest to enter by the end of this week. I have finished editing it on AVID XPRESS PRO and tried to export it as an MPEG-4(it was a requirment) AND a QT movie onto my desktop. When I play it out, there's audio, but the video is a snowy pink/green/white mess. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone explain to me in layman's english what I have to do to make it play right. I have invested almost $2,000 in my film and for it not to be shown because of this error will be VERY dissappointing.

Do you have QT-Pro? If so, try exporting from the Avid as a QuickTime reference movie, then using QuickTime Pro to export the reference movie as an MPEG-4 QuickTime movie (or just as an MP4 file). It only takes a few seconds to create the reference movie (as that just references the Avid OMFs on your media drive) but I have found that QuickTime Pro's export features often work better than Avid's.
That's particularly true when I use the 3ivx codec with 2-pass output...there isn't any way to do the second pass using Avid's export utility, but QT-Pro allows for it.

  • Exporting Video from Avid to Final Cut Pro

    I saved video clips from Avid Adrenaline as .mov files and burned to disc. When I try to open disc, I have audio but no video. This may be a Quick Time issue, but I am out of time. Does anyone know an easy way for me to get the video out of Avid into my system?

    additionally, you might want to export some sample color bars along with your media. I have found there is a rather drastic color shift, that took two CC filters to correct for, when following this workflow.

    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; DSCN0164.jpg).
    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. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    II'm afraid not.
    Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
    Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

    (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.

  • Trouble exporting Quicktimes from Avid Express Pro?

    Hello! I'm operating Avid Express Pro version 4.3.0 on a G5 Mac OS 10.3.9 and I recently upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.5. I can no longer export quicktimes from Avid Express Pro because it is not compatible with this version of Quicktime. It's only compatible with QT 6.5.2. I've tried to use the reinstaller 6.5.2 and it doesn't work as it cannot seem to find 6.5.2 on my system. I now can't load 6.5.2 as I already have a higher version of quicktime on my system. I've tried deleting QuickTime files and starting from scratch and did delete a few items, but dragged the majority back into my computer from the trash as I realized I didn't know what I was doing and which 3rd party programs also utilized QuickTime.
    If I wish to reinstall QuickTime 6.5.2 but the reinstaller won't work, what would you recommend?
    HUGE thanks!

    Not sure that anyone in the iPod Nano forum can help you. You might try searching/posting in the Quicktime Forum

  • How do I export video from a Canon Optura 30 camcorder to my iMac/ iMovies? I've tried a Firewire cable but imovies doesn't seem to recognise the camcorder.

    I've been trying to export video from my Canon Optura 30 camcorder to imovies with a firewire lead, however nothing happens and imovies doesn't semm to reconise the camcorder. Can anyone help please?

    Here is a compatibility chart for iMovie:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    I did not see yours; however, as long as it has firewire, it should work. Did you read the instructions in both your camcorder manual and in iMovie on the steps needed?
    If you can't get it to work after following the steps, what format does it record in? Is it on a memory card? If so, it'd be easy: just use a USB card reader, plug it in and import your footage that way.

  • Export video from iMovie with maximum iPod Touch quality specs

    We got an iPod touch to playback short films (made in iMovie) using Apple's composite video cable connected to a projector.
    The published *TV and video* specs on the iPod touch webpage shows what the iPod Touch should be capable of playing back the following:
    [1] +- H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
    [2]+- H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;+
    [3]+- MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats+
    Exporting from iMovie using the *Share > Export Using Quicktime...* option and adjusting the settings to match any of those above creates files that iTunes refuses to copy to the iPod.
    iMovies' *Share > Export Movie...* and iTunes' *Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone version* create videos with a bitrate of only ~1.6Mbps - both of which don't look great projected on a big screen.
    Has anyone had any success exporting video at the published 2.5Mbps spec AND been able to copy them to the iPod Touch?
    Thanks!

    Figured out how to get HQ 2.5mbps video on the iPod Touch.
    By changing one of the options in iMovie's "Export using Quicktime..." option: "Export: Movie to MPEG-4 > Options... > Video Options..." resulted in a file that works on the iPod.
    Here's a screenshot of the settings: http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-hq-export.gif
    Select the 'Baseline' profile ONLY (deselect the default 'Main' profile) and the iPod Touch will accept the file at 2.5Mbps - and, oddly, even bitrates higher than that, I managed to put a 20Mbps file on the iPod Touch.
    Here are some test files:
    4:3 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
    16:9 - http://readingpsc.org.uk/files/ipodtouch-test-wide-2500kbps.mp4 (6.9mb)
    Hope that helps someone out there!

  • Trouble exporting Flash from FCP, and, no MPEG-2 option?

    Hello. I'm trying to export a short 5 minute video from FCP. There doesn't seem to be an option for MPEG 2 anymore. Am I missing it?
    Second, when I export with the Flash (FLV) setting FCP "stops responding" every time. Any idea what's up with that and what I can do to resolve it?
    Thank you!
    Eric P

    I was hoping to export MPEG2 directly from FCP, but I used Compressor as you suggested. Now, here's a really silly question: After I "submit" the file, it processed (I can see it processing in the Batch Monitor), but I can't find the file anywhere on my computer!
    I thought I changed the destination to my desktop, but even searching the computer for the file name it doesn't come up. Am I overlooking something obvious??
    Thank you again,
    Eric

  • Exporting video from PPro CS4 to Encore CS4 is jerky

    Hi Guys
    I need help urgently as I have to finish my client's work today:
    I used a HDD camcoder to record video & I downloaded to my PC via Bridge
    The video is in MPEG format
    I used the media encoder to convert from MPEG to AVI: microsoft avi, pal, 720 X 576, lower field first, 48Khz audio
    I imported in PPro and edited: used fast color correction, dip to black video transition, edited audio using soundbooth
    I then went to each video clip I edited and reversed field dominance (set to always deinterlace, then tried flicker removal)
    Then I imported the sequence into Encore using adobe dynamic link, and then created a timeline
    If I test the video in Encore or on TV, guess what? The video is crap - it's jerky
    I have also tried to first export the video from PPro to an AVI file and then import into Encore as AVI but it's the same bad result
    Please, I don't know what to try now. I tried converting using ulead video studio from MPEG to AVI, using DV-AVI settings: frame based, 720 X 576, 48KHz audio, type 2 compressor
    The other thing is I don't know what the media encoder uses as a compressor (type 1 or 2) and how come there's no option of choosing DV-AVI. There's only microsoft AVI.
    Many thanks in advance guys
    Live Fantasy

    Glad that you got it sorted.
    The "Preview" in Encore is just that, an emulation. You method of Burning the DVD RW is the best method to check all aspects of an authored DVD. Besides some of the quality issues you noted, there are also some other "gottchas" in En Preview. One of the most notable is the "black flash," when using Button Transitions, or transitioning from a Play First to a Menu. The emulation is just not perfect. Also, depending on which navigational aids one uses, things can work differently, than with a remote on a set-top player and can trip one up when testing a navigational scheme.
    I even find that testing on hardware is preferable to doing so on a software player, unless the delivery is exclusively to a computer and not to a set-top player.
    Good luck,
