Exporting video help...

o.k. here it is. I'm not a pro but I'm not new to fcp. I mostly film and edit church events, and they are mostly an hour to an hour and a half long. So I've never had a problem exporting the project to DVD Studio Pro. Their really simple edits (titles transitions and some background music that's it). I do an "export QT movie, name it, leave the settings as they are press save and vuala I import it to DVD Studio pro. (maybe it's wrong, but it's worked for me until now). This film that I'm trying to export is too big, It won't fit into a DVD for it's 4.8gb. the movie is not even 1:50min, but, anyways. I've tried several things exporting it by using QT conversion with QT format and mpeg2 format and when I try to importi it into DVD Studio pro it says incompatible format. I tried doing it through "using compressor" and using Mpeg2-120 fast encode and Mpeg2-120 high quality encode, but as the process begins it fails. HEEEEELP for I'm 5 days late with this movie for it took like 19hours tp export when using the QT exports......I am so behind on this pleeeeeeeease help. I'm using FCP 4.5 HD, Compressor 1.2.1 and DVD studio pro 3( all academic, if it means anything, besides not being able to upgrade)

You just need to set an appropriate bitrate for the duration of your video. You can do this in a number of places. With FCP4.5 and DVD SP3 I would go with the Export to QT Conversion method. Not sure why you had trouble the first time but try this...
Select your sequence in the browser in FCP. Select File - Export to QT Conversion. Select MPEG-2 from the format pulldown and hit Options. There's two tabs, the one on the right will give the bitrate options. I would select one-pass VBR, set the max bitrate to about 7.8Mbps and move the target bitrate slider around until you see that your file size is as big as it can get without going over for a DVD. It should show you the expected file size at the bottom. I'd keep it at or under about 4GB. Give it a name, export, then import this MPEG-2 and AIFF file into DVD SP, author and burn.

Exporting crops video - HELP!

Hi all,
I am a newcomer to CS4, so forgive me if this is a simple fix, but for whatever reason it seems like my exported .mp4 file is cropped by comparison to the original source clip. In other words, the exported video mirrors the program preview. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:
The circled portion is what I want the video to look like after I export it, however it ends up looking like the preview to the right. How can I fix this? It seems like the source is being read as a completely different resolution even though it was shot on a Canon 5D MK II/7D at 24p.
Here are my export settings:
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ah...good call - thank you for the timely response, Bill! It seems the sequence settings are the culprit here. however, it seems like the settings themselves cannot be changed for some reason. Any ideas on how to work around this?

LR4 no exported video change-help please

Exporting from LR4 video there is no change to adjusted clip. I went through the clips from the the 5D mark II before I had LR4 in Quicktime and trimed and saved them. Made adjustments to the jpeg still. and synced the jpeg preset and exported. Video exported with no change. Using 2.7 GHz Intel Corei5 10.6.8 12 GB of ram. Please help or guide me to a disscussion that I haven't been able to find among the many.

Original :Exports the video in the same format, and at the same speed, as the original clip.
under this Adobe help link exporting video - it doesn't say anything about not exporting the file without changes. Why would I want to export a copy of the video without changes made in LR?
When exporting as H264 I see a change. S0 "Original" means just what it says" and "Of course - same as re-saving a JPEG" isn't answering the question of exporting the video as original not exporting with lightroom changes.
Is the DPX format lossless to the "original" or is the export choice of save as Original not functioning correctly, saving the files with the same format, and same speed as the original with LR adjustment?
It looks like the DPX format is according to this link
http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000178.shtml
under the Quality and Functionality Factors subsection isn' t for use in desktop PC applications. It seems that DPX is for archieveing much like the DNG or so it would seem in what I have found so far.
All in all is the DPX format what should be used for lossless work flow or is the save as Original not functioning the way that it should?

Help a Complete Beginner Improve Quality of Exported Videos

Hello all, I'm completely new to Adobe Premiere Pro and I am experiencing lots of difficulty with the quality of my exported videos. My source material is a 720 x 480 .AVI (Note: I intend to export in a format like .WMV or .MOV) that was recorded with a screen recorder called CamStudio. The original material looks incredibly nice in Windows Media Player but the minute I import it into Premiere Pro and export it, it looks awful. Exporting the same video through Windows Movie Maker results in incredibly better quality. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with both the project presets and my export presets. I just don't know the kind of numbers and settings I need to input in order to fix the quality. Could someone be kind enough to break down all the numbers and settings and explain to me what to do? I have looked through several guides but it just doesn't seem to be working out for me. Maybe all I need is a human touch to the advice...thanks in advance.

You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Trouble exporting video files HELP!

I have a few Flash animation projects that I want to put on
my demo reel, but I can't get the animations in a usable format.
The bulk of the animation is a walk cycle in a movie clip. Of
course, when I hit play in flash, I see frame one of the movie clip
standing there for 16 frames, then it skips forward and stands over
there for 16 frames, then it skips forward, but the whole animation
plays smoothly when I export the .swf file.
However, whenever I try to export a video file all I get is
this useless frame one skip that you see when you hit play in
Flash. Anyone know how I can fix this? Are there video editing
programs that will take .swf files?
So far I've tried exporting into .avi and .gif.
Whenever I try exporting to .mov, I get this message.
"The installed version of Quicktime does not have a handler
for this type of flash movie. Please consult the documentation for
further information."

There are a couple of things you can try. None great but most
will do. First, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime
installed. If you can afford it buy the Pro version. Its pretty
cheap and you won't regret it. It makes converting all sorts of
files simple.
Second. I'm not sure what version of Flash you are using. The
older versions of Flash were pretty crappy at exporting video.
Flash CS3 Professional is little better but its something. Anyway,
if you don't have this download the 30day demo and give exporting
.mov from Flash CS3 a shot (after you install the latest version of
Quicktime)
Another thing you can try do is use a screen capture software
such as SnagIt or CaptureWiz. They will allow you to capture your
Flash movie as video and both have demos you can try before you
buy.
And one other thing I have done to capture my Flash files,
which works great, is to capture my screen to video. If you have
the capability to export your monitor to video or better yet a
firewire videocam and then someway to edit it your Flash to video
life will be easy as pie.
Good luck

Photoshop Help | Saving and exporting video and animations

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/saving-exporting-video-animations.html

Sorry, I meant the original file, the footage I am trying to edit. Not sure what to call it. It's a .mov file. (I do work with the RAW format for photos but in my workflow call unedited video "raw" as in raw footage–I did not mean to imply that was the video format.)
Thank you for your reply. The problem is present in the timeline, before the file is rendered. At first I thought it was because I trimmed some time off the beginning of the clip, but when I placed it to play from the actual beginning the problem persists.
Again, I apologize if my terminology is unclear. I do know that I can sync them if they are on separate tracks but I was hoping to not have to go to that length (also, at that point I would have to move into Premiere or another program, I assume?)
Thanks again for your response. I was really excited to be able to do quick videos in Photoshop, which I know so well, but this kind of stumped me!

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!

Exported Video Does Not Look Right

I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
• I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
• I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.95
Normal Size: 640x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.97
Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?
Message was edited by: ChoreoGraphics

I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

How to export videos on my iPhone?

Hi all, I just got my new MBA and I'm getting used to how mac handle photos and music differently from a PC now. Since iPhone doesn't show up in the Finder as a "device" like on a Windows platform, how can I export videos on my iPhone then? The videos don't get recognized in iPhoto and I couldn't find any way to export it in iTunes. Can anyone help me here?

One convenient way is to use the Image Capture utility that comes with the MBA. Connect the iPhone to the MBA with the USB cable and launch Image Capture located in Applications -> Untilities. The iPhone will show up in the sidebar on the left and the videos and photos will be shown. Select and download to desktop or wherever.
iTunes will do it too. In the View menu make sure you have the sidebar enabled. The iPhone will show up under Devices. Click on it and then select the movies tab and your movies should show up for selection and download.
Hope this helps.

Error Message when trying to export video

I've been getting the following error message whenever I try to export video I've edited in Lightroom (picture below).
The error message reads, "amecommand has encountered an error. [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/DynamicLinkMediaServer1/main/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Ma ke/Mac/../../Src/Sequence/Sequence.cpp-1315]"
The error message shows up as soon as I hit the export button to export video. After I click "continue," the export progress bar at top left makes no progress.
-I'm running Lightroom 4 with updates 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 installed.
-I'm running it on Mac OS X version 10.6.8
-The video files I'm color correcting are .mov quicktime files that have been sent over from Final Cut 7's Media Manager.
-I haven't been able to make any video exports at all. This problem occurred as soon as I made my first attempt.
-The only other software I have open currently is Final Cut 7, Safari and my email.
-Processor is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory is 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 32.92 gigs available on my laptop's (C:) drive.
Would appreciate any help! The error message is pictured below:

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Export without using the computer for anything else.
Oh, and if you're using 10.9 switch off App Nap.

Cannot export video's from iphoto '08

I want to export videos in mp4 format that were imported from my camera into iphoto '08.
The first problem is that "export..." won't work. I selected the 7 videos, then "Export...". I selected file format. However, it doesn't recognize that anything has been selected and grey's out the "Export" button.
So, I came up with an alternate plan...burn them to a cd. I selected the same 7 videos and then "burn" section from the "share" menu. It prompts me for a cd, which I inserted. Then, I see a report that these 7 video's take 90MB of space...I hit continue and the cd is burned. However, when I look at the cd later(and I have done this twice now), the cd doesn't have any of the videos, but it does contain the 172 photo's that are in the same album. Again, I did this twice. I selected the album, then typed mp4 into the search window, then selected the 7 resulting videos. And the program was telling me it had 7 photos.
I am VERY frustrated that I have found 2 bugs in this software. I used to be able to export video's all day long. Not good.
Since I am complaining now, the only reason I am doing any of this is because I want to give my friends a CD with all the photos and videos from our recent trip. They have a mac...should be piece of cake. It is not, because the video's just sit in iphoto, but I can't do anything with them. I wish slide show would seemlessly integrate photo's and video in order. My Sanyo camera does this, but my Mac doesn't. I tried sending all the photo's and video's to iDVD, and it worked, but that takes hours to do all the rendering...and at the end of the day, the quality isn't as good.....
Please help.
Thanks,
Phil

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
ANYONE CAN HELP??
