Exporting Windows compatible footage.

I am converting from years of video editing on Pinnale 12 on a Windows XP machine, to Final Cut Pro X, but I still have a lot to learn. So that I can create DVD menus on Pinnacle, I need to export my rendered videos from FCP to my Windows machine. The .mov files are "unsupported" and will not open. Is there a conversion or a different file format I shoud use?
Ultimately, I need to learn how to create and burn DVD's with menus from FCP, but I am in a bit of a time crunch, and am hoping for an easy way to open my footage on my other machine for now.

I use iDVD if standard DVD is the preferred delivery medium.
It is easy, powerful and very customizable.
With a small amount of study the menu options can be juggled to suit pretty much anything your need.
Way better than the FCP X issue.
Also If Bluray is requested FCP X can deliver that as well with a little more control over the menus than the FCP X DVD sharing option. Again it is not comprehensive.
It seems delivery is moving away from the DVD/Bluray method to Online services or media players etc.
My thoughts are that delivery options are more about local needs rather than an overall "one type fits all" method
In Oz, DVD is still very popular and Bluray is gaining slowly.
In the right here, right now environment, change is certain.

What export options in Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro should I select to export HDV video in .MOV files to highest quality Windows-compatible files?

I have some HDV video files imported through iMovie to .MOV files with Apple Intermediate Codec.
I need to convert these to Windows compatible video files of the highest possible ( least loss) quality. What export options in Final Cut Pro or in Quicktime Pro should I select? The codex in the converted files must not be Apple Intermediate Codec, for which there is no Windows version.

Okay, I read the whole Flip4Mac website.
Flip4Mac is an application for Apple computers.
Perhaps my question was unclear. When I posed it I was thinking of asking somebody with an Apple shop to do the conversion for me, and wanted advice on settings for his QUicktime Pro /Final Cut Pro that would produce the highest quality Windows -compatible files.
The Windows version of Quicktime will not play Quicktime files with Apple Intermediate Codec. You get black screen video, although the audio does come through.
So here's what I need: I need a Windows application that will transcode Quicktime files in Apple Intermediate Codec, with no loss or very little loss, to WIndows-compatible files. All Windows, all the time. Thank you.

Export thats high res and windows compatible

Hi Guys,
How do I export from FCP 6 for a windows compatible version of my movie? The settings are currently 1440 x 1080. In the sequence settings window under quicktime video settings, if I change this to H.264 instead of HDV 1080i50, will this work? I don't have a windows to check it on before it goes to client.

Do not alter your sequence settings. Leave the as they are.
On File>Export>Quicktime Movie or File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion you'll have lots of options.
One of them is indeed h264. Of which in the other post is said that it s supported with windows.
You could export as h264, then rename the clip from Clipname.mov to Clipname.flv
Then flashplayer (installed on most computers) can play it.
If you really want to go to .wmv you'll need [Flip4Mac WMV Studio|http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/wmv-studio.htm] (or Studio Pro or Studio Pro HD)

Multiple sheets in one window - Windows compatible application?

Is there a Windows compatible application that can view a spreadsheet saved from Numbers '09 so the sheets all show up in one window? When I export using the various options in Numbers, then try to open in Excel, I get separate sheets.
I need to work on a project with some Windows techs, would love to be able to do in Windows what we do on Mac...gang up multiple sheets in a single window.
Thanks,
Don

In Excel you can open multiple windows of the same spreadsheet and thereby have more than one sheet viewable at the same time. For Mac it is the menu item Window/New Window. Then you can arrange them on the screen with Window/Arrange. I do not know the equivalent way to do this in the PC version but I'm sure the feature is there. It is useful for viewing 2-4 sheets at the same time but not much more.

I need to be windows compatible and I downloaded windows templates but people still don't seem to be able to open my documents, what have you done?

I am new to the mac, and I am trying to get compatible with Windows. I need to be able to receive and send window items, that i and others can read and work on. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andrea

I assume most of the documents you need to transfer and edit are MS Office derived.
Well there are several options for you to consider
Use the Apple productivity suite iWork although this will open .doc and .xls allow you to edit and export them again in the same formats some formatting and font issues are common place when transferred between native MS OFFICE programmes and Pages applications.
You can try the fee open office suite or neo office ( a version of the same)
These are more familiar in work flow to MS Office and allow saving to .doc .xls and .rtf plus .docx and xlsx.
Or you can buy and install MS OFFICE for MAC2011 which includes a version of Outlook in the full (expensive) package that can be set up with an Exchange server for e-mail and contacts and calendars, and also POWER POINT.
Oh and you can also use the built in Mac text editor to view edit and save as .doc as well.(Its not feature rich ) but it works for simple documents.
If you are using the Mac Mail application to send/receive e-mail with attachments from/to Windows , make sure you have set it to send windows friendly attachment.
To do this open Mail, click on Edit in the Menu bar (Strip at top of screen), scroll down to Attachments and click on the small triangle to the right. In the pop out window click on the Always send windows friendly attachments (A tick should be added to confirm done)
If sending documents to anyone that are to be read only best to print as a .PDF to fix font issues and formatting (these can also be secured with a password).
If you need more complex print editing or image manipulation tools they are also available (at a price) from the likes of Adobe,and design tools such as CAD Vector works/Turbo CAD are also available.
You can also setup complex and secure Windows compatible Networks.
Finally if you absolutely have to view/access some windows specific software for instance a MS Access data base well you could install something like Parallels/Fusion/Virtualbox with a copy of Windows right on your Mac.
Or even use Bootcamp with a copy of Windows (full) on a separate partition.
These days your Mac is very windows compatible.

Exporting sony ex3 footage to avi file

I am newly to adobe premier cs5. I am working with footage of Sony Ex3 in PR Cs5 and want to export it's footage to DV avi format while doing so picture quality is loss. what to do any suggestion?

I wanted to convert three test files to video for windows but felt the mac conversion programs were too expensive just for client testing. I'm running Parallels and found a great program called OJOsoft Total Video Converter. I output the FCP timeline to the desktop using the H.264 codec. Using parallels the file shows up on the windows desktop. Using that workflow I have been able to convert to avi, video for windows and other windows centric files.
PS It was a Sony EX3 timeline and the results were stellar.

How to export green screen footage.

I recently shot on a green screen, i keyed it in after effects with keylight but want to do color correction in FINAL CUT. when i export the video it comes out with a black background instead of transparency so it doesn't allow me to composite footage over the background so i can't color correct or do anything because the clips with the black solid background are useless. how can i export the already keyed footage so that i keep the transparency for the background?????
thanks

This thread has become a mess of confusing information. Just to clarify a few points:
1GB RAM is not really enough to run AE well. Your purchase of 4GB is a smart move.
AE manages its own RAM usage, so its very possible that it may only use 20% of available RAM, depending on the contents of your project and the amount of precomping etc that you've used. Once you have the extra RAM, enabling Multi-Processor rendering is the best way to utilize RAM during the rendering process.
The "Secret" option mentioned refers to a secret preference menu in AE, which is enabled by holding the Shift key while choosing preferences. Unless there is clear evidence that your system is running out of RAM while rendering, there's no need for you to use the Secret prefs menu.
The "3 GB switch" referred to is not relevant in your case - it applies strictly to Windows XP users.
In summary, install the extra RAM and activate multi-processor rendering to speed up your renders.
Export your keyed footage using the "Lossless with alpha" Output Module in the Render Queue. This will provide transparency info when you take the footage to FCP.
Alternately, as suggested by Mylenium, do the colour correction within AE.

Mail setting for attachments default on 'windows compatible'

I have difficulties sending pictures of iPhoto directly via email button to windows clients. The comment I get is that the files arrive with extension .bin and pictures cannot be opened. I do succeed by exporting as jpg to a folter and then to send via mail as attachment using the button 'make windows compatible'. I find this a long way to proceed.
Who can help me by:
A) adjucting my mac so that attachments in mail are default windows compatibel instead using 'that' button which I forget so often.
B) giving me another/better shortcut so that I can send 'windows compatible' photos via iPhoto's email button.
Your help is much appreciated. Regards from a mac user in Holland.

When you send these messages with attachments that fail, are you sending through, or via the Exchange Server?
Many problems associated with Exchange Server originate with improper Rich Text somewhere along the way. In one situation the exchange server alters the file format information, and attachment arrives unreadable.
If you could conduct a test, using Plain Text (plus attachment) only, and without a Signature, it would help us to home in. Even more useful, would be sending a test to me, so I could investigate further. My address can be found by clicking on my name to left of this post, and looking in the bio line of my Profile.

Using VisualHub to be Windows Compatible

Hi guys,
When I am exporting my videos I am exporting as current settings using Quicktime. I also need to make a copy that is windows compatible. At the moment to do this, I am using VisualHub to create an .AVI format. However this is pretty low res, for example a 1.5GB video is being reduced right down to 30MB.
I am using Final Cut 6, and I also have Compressor but have not used it before.
Any help would be great, cheers

gogiangigo wrote:
Oh yes that works for sure, the OP was asking about a codec to choose as compressor type for AVI.
Not to argue but that's not how I interpret the OP; AVI was just what he thought he maybe needed. The key phrase is "windows compatible."

My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work. Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
Works about 50% of the time.
It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.

How to automate the Export Window feature?

How can I automate the Export Window (while in the All Computers view) feature?
I've looked in the Automator program but the Export Window Action is unavailable. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Unexpected Quits in multiple applications at Save or Import/Export window

Hello,
For several months I have Apple and Adobe applications as well as Firefox, randomly quit when bringing up the Save, or Import/Export window. (I have copies of the error logs.)
I thought I had it fixed since I haven't had any issues for some time after running Disk Utility and Onyx. But, I posted the same issue a couple of months ago and the solution (at the time) was to keep the desktop clean (see "Crashing at Save" by katorama) . So, after I cleaned up my desktop and only had two aliases to my folders I needed, all went very well until now.
However, what didn't help is that yesterday we had three power outages and my iMac did an auto-restart after each. Since then, the problem returned and nothing seems to fix it.
I feel like this issue is haunting me! I was a tech for many years and normally can fix the issue. But, I can't seem to figure out the reason behind these crazy unexpected quits. Seems I've run out of tools in my toolbag.
TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS:
– I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk and Onyx to clean out caches. After this, it seems to run fine, then a different application will have the same problem.
– When I create a new user account, there is no response when I double click the hard drive (it does not open) and when testing an application for the quit issue, it happens again.
– Also, when I restart into Safe Boot the problem appears to stop initially, but can appear intermittently again.
I suspect it may be a RAM or even a Quartz issue? But, honestly, I have no idea.

Any suggestions welcome!
thanks!

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

Export window format changed, don't know why

You know aperture is a love/hate relationship. What do I love? I became an advanced user fast, it's intuitive, but the bugs are just maddening and apple has never responded even once to my countless bug and crash reports. Apple has strayed so far from computing as it's central focus... the impression I get is they just don't care about my bug problems or if I stay an apple customer after owning that little baby Duo laptop, PowerPC, ibook and now MacBook Pro. I think that's sad. Just keep pushing the phones and ipods- Steve, and don't worry about me. I'll eventually just go away. That said, the format of the export window changed to first line: export preset, 2nd line: Subfolder Format, 3rd: "Grayed out" customer subfolder name, 4th: Name Format, 5th: Custom Name, 6th: File Name Example. To my knowledge, this new export window format changed without any action on my part. I don't like it because I can no longer just export it to the desk top without it being automatically put in a folder. The old export window format just had an option for tiff, jpg, psd and a name to type in and where it was heading. How do you get back this old export window format? This is baffling like the disappearing library in the trial version every time you shut down and restarted.

Addressing your final remarks, I don’t see any problem. First: have your current Preset -> Image Export set to what you want in terms of JPEG or PSD etc. Second select the image(s) you want to Export. Select something like File -> Export -> Versions (or whatever you want). The Export panel defaults to the Desktop, and the images will be placed there - no folder is required.
Maybe I’ve missed your point, but I don’t see any problem.

Bridge: when I want to export from .psd to .jpeg the export window opens but the target (Ziel) window is empty, thus no target can be selected. This happens since a brigde shut down after "out of memory"
