Exporting video (PAL DV .avi) to a Mac computer (PAL DV .mov) - will I lose quality?

I have this timeline which I am exporting from Adobe Premiere (cs3). The format is PAL DV, .avi file.
I then have to put this footage into Final Cut (Express) and re-export it as a MOV file (there is a good reason for this). This format is also PAL DV (.mov)
Anyway, my question is: will I lose any quality in the "conversion" ?

If you have CS3 Production Premium or Master Collection it comes with Adobe Encore for DVD burning. You can also create the chapter markers in Compressor before bringing them into DVD SP, or create them directly in DVD SP (provided they are on a GOP boundary).
Alternatively, my company makes an app called QT Edit that will quickly add chapters to a QuickTime file without needing transcode it and it can import marker lists from other apps too.

How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
Ut Video Codec Suite
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
you should consider using the Project Manager.
Trim or copy your project
By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
I have already tried the following...
1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.

There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

QT taking so long to bring up a video "WMV or AVI" on new Mac Intel

Well, that about says it. I've loaded quite a number of the "add ons" but still taking forever to load and sometimes never comes up.
Any advice please?
Thank you tons.

Get rid of "a number" (which I supect is a big number) and use Perian and Flip4mac only.

How to export photos from an ipad to a mac computer

I have an iPad Retina on which I took approximately 350 screen grabs for my work.
(The screen grabs were made on the iPad with the home and lock buttons pressed together, I use them for app reports).
These screen grabs didn't go into the Photos folder called "Albums" when I saved them, but instead they were saved into a folder called "Photos" (in which are three sorting options, called "Years", "Collections" and "Moments").
I now need to put all these photos into a folder on my iMac and then delete them to clear up a working session.
But if I click more than 5 of them, the "mail" option disappears, and the remaining options are "Message", "Flickr", "Copy" or "Print".
"Message" didn't work, it seems to be designed to send text messages, but I could still manage to write an email address in the "to" field, and it didn't get through.
"Flickr" didn't work at all (the "+" sign to add a new account let me to a white pop-up window, I added an account from the Settings page, sent the photos to Flickr but they never arrived on the Flickr account).
"Copy" didn't work, I thought I could afterwards paste them into an email, but no luck there, it just crashed the mail app.
...and "Print", that seems to be far away from what I'm trying to do.
Airdrop cannot work between the iMac (pre OS X10.10) and the iPad. Flickr doesn't work either, at all.
When I use third-party apps like Dropbox, Instamail or any other WiFi photos sharing/exporting app, the only photos these apps can access are the ones in the photos folder called "Albums", and not a single one of the photos from the "Photos" album.
Also, as sad as it may seem, and as I've said earlier, the third-party applications I installed such as Dropbox are not an option when I select the photos in the roll and then click on "Share", but "Flickr" is...? Both "share" buttons, the one on top and the one to the right of each date give the same very limited results.
iTunes cannot do it. This iMac doesn't have iPhoto.
I was thinking about using a software like iExplorer to manually go dig into the root folders, but surely there has to be another way?

You should be able to do it with Dropbox.

If I restart my mac without finalizing a project, will I lose all of the editing I've done after start up? (iMovie'11)

iMovie'11
I've come to a road block here, after so much editing, I've suddenly lost music and sound within iMove. Not sure what happened. All the other finalized projects are also not making any sound (within iMove). With this current project, it is not finalized, but I cannot edit anymore because I can't hear anything. YouTube is giving me sound, and other websites as well. Just wondering if I can restart my mac without finalizing this project and see if I get sound back with iMove. I just don't want to lose all of the work I've done. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

You can purge the swap files etc. from the Edit menu. Try that. Otherwise there is simply no way to salvage the situation once PS runs out of memory, virtual and real one...

After FCX export, video of stills are choppy on YouTube

I have a series of videos that I have uploaded to YouTube, they are made up of entirely high-resolution images (which have been shrunk a bit in Photoshop). The images are mostly panned throughout the video, and appear a bit choppy at times on YouTube, obviously varying from what I am seeing in FCX.
I have tried pretty much all the types of exports, and have even tried re-exporting the video through Photoshop (it has more export options that FCX?) This obviously degrades the images a bit, but still results in some lag in YouTube video.
What am I missing / what is the optimal way to export videos of just still images?
Being that the photos are of such high quality, I'm trying to keep them as clear and smooth moving as possible.
Thanks!

a part that is smooth the first time may be choppy the second go round. It is also varies from machine to machine (windows, mac)
Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand. You mean varies when played from YT site…or played from files located on a computer?
YouTube recompresses your video – as does Vimeo, et al. You gave them a video formatted file – not stills. So the question I have is how well did FCP treat your PNGs when it encoded to that video format. Which is why I was asking how they played in QT from the file stored on your computer.
Here is an article on compressing for YT that you may find helpful.

Any way to export videos and preserve the original creation date?

I recently shot video using an NEX-5N and AVCHD as the format. Since Aperture cannot playback this format, I converted the videos using Handbrake to mp4 (H.264), and then used A Better Finder to change the creation date of the converted file back to the same date as the original file.
Importing this converted file into Aperture works great, and the imported file shows the correct metadata of the original creation date, not the date of the conversion.
But when exporting this file from Aperture, it seems like Aperture does not embed the date as metadata, and thus the only date associated with the exported video is the file-system date attached to the file, which will of course be the date of the export.
I assume this problem applies to ANY video imported into Aperture, not just those that have been converted.
Does anyone have a method for exporting video and having the original creation date remain? This is obviously a problem when exporting videos one-by-one, but would be a bigger problem if I ever wanted to export my entire video library from Aperture into another program...all the video files would have the same date!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

EXIF data and video files is even more of a gray area then EXIF data and stills.
I don't do much video in Aperture so I'll take your word for it that the data isn;t imbedded into the file. In that case the best I can see is to create a custom export preset and include the Image Date in the filename. Not great but you at least have the data and you might be able to have a script use the date from the filename and somehow add it back into the file.

Will i lose use of my @mac address if i accept an @icloud address?

I prefer to keep using my @mac address because I want the world to know that I am an Apple and Mac owner and enthusiast since 1984, but I don't want my proposed @icloud address to be given to someone else.
So can I accept the @icloud address just so no one else gets it, and still keep using @mac or @me?
Or, Will i lose use of my @mac address if i accept an @icloud address?
Can we get a definite commitment from Apple on this?
Thanks,
Nate

Your @mac address should continue to function whether you use @icloud or not.

Export Media from DV Pal to AVI: Best recommended setting for Output file?

I have a project in CS4, on Windows, in DV format (original videos were M2t).
What is the optimal setting for export (and possibly for the sequence settings too) for the best quality and then smallest size?
If my input is M2T files - is the best settings to work in Premiere is DV 1 for Pal?
I always use Progressive Interlace - is that required or is the default of Lower field OK as well (I am not sure exactly what is the impact of using just one field, but from previous versions of Premiere Progressive always improved the video image)?
Is the frame rate of Pal as 25 FPS must be adhered in the sequence setting and export to avoid re-rendering?
As for the Export side:
Is using the DV Pal is best for quality without going uncompressed?
Is starting with 16GB of DV as m2T and ending with 20GB of DV reasonable?
Is the method of exporting to DV and then compressing it using a 3rd party is the best way going about the creation of the movie and then compressing it for distribution?
What is the the recommended tool for compressing - and with which format?
The end result is meant to be consumed as an AVI on people's desktop. Not on mobiles or YouTube or DVD.
On BitTorrent I see many files that are in HD but have an amazingly small size of less 1 GB - what do these guys use to achieve such small sizes yet amazing quality?
What is the best tool and codec to achieve a compression based on a file size?
Is DivX better than XVid? And is "Multipass nth pass" is the way to configure the DivX for best results?
I really feel we lack any guidance on these aspects and a huge of time is wasted every time I get to this stage when it should all be pretty standrad for me.
I know I am asking a number of question but if someone is able to jot down the basics of the tool, codec and settings to achieve best quality (regardless of the time it takes to get to it) - I'd be very grateful!
Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to all,
Eroka00

I find your post somewhat confusing.
These m2t are they converted?
Run a file that you are using in Prmeiere through Media Info and post a screendump.

What is the endproduct going to be? YouTube, DVD, media player or .....

tyler57,
it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

I can't export any video as an avi. file, any help or ideas?

I own Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and after finishing up a video and rendering it I try to export it with unexpected results. After clicking 'Export', 'Media', I choose to export as a 'Microsoft AVI' file and no matter which settings I use I cannot get it to work. The Adobe Media Encoder starts but no file appears in the queue no matter how long I wait or how hard I try to fix the problem.
Does anybody have any ideas, help, or a solution to this problem?
Anything that can help will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.
First, a couple of questions:
What is the upgraded version of CS4?
What OS and version are you using?
Do you have the MS AVI DV CODEC's installed on the system?
Good luck,
Hunt

Imovie 10 export video avi ?

Hello everybody,
sorry for my bad english, i'm french. i was updated my imovie into 10 in the last night. from this update, i dont see the process for export my video editing in avi files or quicktime's files.
i this normal ? have you any issue for my problem ?
thank you so much for your responses.

Don't you just love Apple's approach to software engineering ?
All other software *add* new functionality. Apple *removes* existing functionality. Removing the ability to export from iMovie to other formats is just one example.

HT3775 Bonjour, j'ai télécharger une video avi sur mon mac... Après avoir télécharger divx plus, il ne sait toujours pas la lire. Que dois-je faire ?? merci beaucoup

Bonjour, j'ai télécharger une vidéo avi sur mon mac... Après avoir télécharger divx plus, il ne sait toujours pas la lire ... Que faire ?? Merci bcp

Je ne suis pas sûr que je comprends parfaitement. J'utilise Google pour traduire cela.
Mais, si l'avi ne joue pas, essayez d'utiliser VLC (VideoLan Player). Si vous souhaitez afficher dans Quicktime, vous pouvez essayer d'installer Perian et Flip4Mac, qui sont des aides pour jouer différents codecs dans le lecteur Quicktime.
