FCE export to disk - file big! help

Hi there friends...
Ok, I have completed/exported my editing on FCE but my 1 hour 13min video comes in as 12 gig to the quality i want.
How can i compress it to a 4.7g dvd disk??
Thank you

I'll contribute a few more tips ...
Before you export your final movie, do the following. This will ensure all video is rendered and your audio is also prepped for exporting:
*Sequence > Render All > Both* and
*Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
Then, when you export to QuickTime Movie, UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained." This will give you a relatively small file that will export quickly. Import it into iDVD the same as you would any self-contained QuickTime file. Doing this will greatly speed up the export from FCE and does not alter the quality of your movie.
If you have placed chapter markers in your Sequence, when you export to QuickTime Movie, be sure to select the option *Include > Chapter Markers.* Also, in *iDVD Preferences >Movies*, select *Create Chapter Submenus* before you import the file you exported from FCE.
Also, in *iDVD Preferences > Projects > Encoding,* select +High Quality+ or +Professional Quality.+

Export Layers as Files - Please Help on Error Message

Hi, Not sure if I'm doing the right thing anyway, but I'm trying to export all the layers in one file as separate JPGs. Each layer has its own name and ideally, i would like to save each layer as its layer name.
When I choose the script 'export layers to files' it flashes on each layer and then eventually comes back with the error 'Specified value greater than maximum allowed value'.
Does anyone have any idea of what this means? I have no real knowledge of scripting, it was just that this option sounded like it would do exactly what I needed!
Thanks in advance,
Gill

Export file size help...output seems way too big

I have a 12 minute movie with audio, video and stills in it.
Currently when I export it the file is 865MB... I need it to be less than 100 with decent quality. It is a tutorial video that will be downloaded from the web.
Can you please give me some direction on how to do this? On what variables to change etc. I know if I exported this out of Camtasia Studio, it would be around that 100 or less bench mark .... problem is I don't know what the settings for the Camtasia preset are.
I am using the following setup:
Quicktime Format
Summary:
Output:
1400x790, 15(fps), quality 100
48000 Hz, Stero, 16 bit
H.264
Source:
Sequece, 01-OverviewSWKit
1920x1080 (1.0), 24fps, Progressive, 00:12:03:12
48000 Hz, Stereo
Settings:
Video Codec: H264
Basica Settings:
Quality 100
Width/height (1400 x 790
Aspect: Square pixels (1.0)
Render at maximum depth - "UN"-checked

Advanced Settings
Key Frame every 1 frame - "UN" checked
Optimize stills - "UN" checked
Frame Reordering "UN" checked
Bitrate setting:
Limit data rate to xxxx "UN" checked
Use Maximum Render Quality - "UN" Checked
Use Previews "UN" Checked
Use Frame Blending "CHECKED"

Well, with the Apple H.264 encoder in a QuickTime container, you're a bit limited to the number of things you can tweak to decrease final file size. Using a more advanced H.264 encoder, like the free x264, will give access to many of the more "high-tech" bells and whistles that are part of the H.264 standard. One potential would be to tick the "Key frame every # frame" box and try a few values there, usually at multiples of your frame rate. Key frames are "whole" frames that take up much more space in the final file size, and decrease their frequency might help slightly decrease file size, though it will also affect quality.
Short of changing the dimensions of your destination video, decreasing the frame rate, or changing the bitrate of the video and audio streams, you will eventually reach a limit of how much you can push one parameter or another. You might try using H.264 in the Format (not codec) dropdown; this will give you a bit more control over encoding to an H.264 MP4 file. Unless you specifically need a QuickTime MOV, you might find you get better results with the H.264 MP4.
These are of course just the options in Premiere itself. Once you go outside the castle walls, you can find a whole bunch of other options, though they usually come at a steeper learning curve. The big thing to remember is that there is no free lunch when it comes to encoding; you have to give a bit here to gain there, and it's all about setting thresholds of what you're willing to accept.

I want to create a 10 minute track combining 3 songs then export as an m03 file. any help would be appreciated.

I want to create a 10 minute track combining 3 songs then export as an mp3 file. any help would be appreciated.

Pull the 3 songs into GB's timeline (the big gray area), they will appear on 3 different tracks (unless they are DRM protected songs from the iTunes Store.) You can push them around, cut them, etc. When you're finished, use the "Share" menu to send them to iTunes or save them to your disk, make sure you check the "compress" box and pick mp3 as the compression method.

Quicktime 10 won't play FCE exported .mov files?

I have edited several videos using Final Cut Express and exported them as .mov files to my desktop. Now, because I have a small internal hard drive (128GB SSD), I copy all of my raw footage to an external hard drive and then delete the files from my Mac HD. But, I keep the finished videos on my desktop. When I try to play the video while the hard drive is plugged in, QuickTime opens and plays the video just fine. But, when the external hard drive is NOT connected and I try to play the video (from my Mac HD), QuickTime won't open it nor play it. If I absolutely have to, I will carry the external HD around with me so I can play my videos, but I was just wondering if it had to do with the codec (H.264) my OS (10.6.8) QuickTime X or FCE (4.1). Can anybody help me?

Can anybody help me?
At this point one can only make guesses as to a solution since you have not really provided any useful information.
I have edited several videos using Final Cut Express and exported them as .mov files to my desktop.
For future reference, an MOV file is any compressed data in an MOV file container. Data can be any compression format compatible with the system configuration on which the file was made—to include both Apple QT native compatible codecs and "Pro" app installed codecs to third party codecs like WMV, DivX, XviD, MPEG-2, etc. In order to eliminate codec problems, in the future please indicate the specific codecs involved.
Now, because I have a small internal hard drive (128GB SSD), I copy all of my raw footage to an external hard drive and then delete the files from my Mac HD. But, I keep the finished videos on my desktop. When I try to play the video while the hard drive is plugged in, QuickTime opens and plays the video just fine. But, when the external hard drive is NOT connected and I try to play the video (from my Mac HD), QuickTime won't open it nor play it.
This would normally be the playback description of a "QT Reference" file. Basically, a reference file is a very small/quickly created file that tells the player to play data that is actually contained in one or more other files. However, since the reference file cannot be played if the main data file(s) are not accessible (i.e., when the external drive is disconnected), you should also be getting an error message telling you it cannot find referenced data and you have yet to confirm this here.
If I absolutely have to, I will carry the external HD around with me so I can play my videos, but I was just wondering if it had to do with the codec (H.264) my OS (10.6.8) QuickTime X or FCE (4.1).
Once again, since we don't know what form of compression was used or what settings were used, it is impossible to determine if there are any secondary problems to be delt with here. In most cases, a high date rate/low compression format is used for import/editing purposes and the final file is "exported" to a specific compression format depending on its specific target use. In most cases, H.264/AAC is the best compression format for "distibution" since it has a very wide range of settings which allow you to adjust the file size and quality aspects to suit any specific device or target use and to do so as a "standalone" (re-compressed) files which are independent of any data in source/other files.

I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
To find out if it's formatted as PC:
Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.

Palo Alto Joins the Ban Against
         Non-Recyclable Materials
       This Spring, Palo Alto joined the list of more than 30 cities and counties in California who are making good on their efforts toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions
       by enacting partial or comprehensive bans on polystyrene (PS) foam and/or non-recyclable disposable foodservice containers. Around the same time, a California statewide ban on the use of PS containers was tabled before reaching the State Assembly floor. Representative
       Jerry Hill, one of AB 1358’s sponsors, pulled the bill due
       to concerns addressed in the Appropriations committee hearing of the bill, regarding the fiscal impacts which
       were not addressed in bill’s contents.
       Largely represented by the California Restaurant Association, opponents of AB 1358 lobbied legislative representatives and argued there would be a negative fiscal impact on struggling restaurant owners and their customers in order to accommodate the more expensive alternatives to PS containers.     There are the unquantifiable and “hidden” costs of contaminating our bodies and environment which would far surpass the fiscal impact on the plastics, restaurants and consumer industries. Studies published by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education have indicated that varying levels of styrene residues
         are present in 100% of all human fat tissue in the
         United States, as PS products are found to lose weight after in contact with hot or fatty/acidic foods and liquids, causing migration of the styrene into the food or fluid, ending up in the human body. On the high end, the levels were “one third of levels known to cause neurotoxic symptoms”. In the environment,
         PS is rarely recycled and does not biodegrade.     Supporting safer alternatives to polystyrene, in addition to the collection infrastructure and processing mechanisms for the compostable and recyclable products would help create more green jobs in the long run and would be a move in the right direction away from unnecessary harm
       to our health, our communities and our world. Keep your eyes open for a revised version of AB 1358 in Spring 2010!     For more information about polystyrene

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Export to disk compressed files only? bad bad bad

When I select the export to disk under the share menu, it will only export compressed files. This is a drag because the only way to export an aiff is if you send it to itunes. Am I wrong about this, is there something that I am missing?
Exporting to disk allows you to select a destination for the export and this is highly desirable because I don't like cluttering up my itunes library with snippets of songs or individual tracks.
If this is the case than GB 3 has a serious design flaw. Export to disk is a basic function of all music software. To hobble this on purpose is beyond my understanding.
Anyone out there know the answer?

Garageband 1 and 2 have the same flaw. 8^) Exporting to iTunes is the "official" Apple way. I would create a special playlist for your GB exports so you can keep track of them and delete them as necessary.

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

Export Flash 8 file - strange conversion behaviour. Please Help.

Equipment:
I have CreativeSuite CS2 and Macromedia Studio 8 loaded on Tiger 10.4.11 on two computers; an iMac Intel Core Duo 2.8GHz which is the main tool, and an upgraded G4 450 DP which uses a Dual G4 Sonnet Encore 1.8Ghz (7447A chips) as back-up. Both computers have use Tiger 10.4.11 OS.
Problem 1:
A .swf Flash file is exported and saved on the iMac without any problems. However when the same file is transferred to the G4 as back-up, the file undergoes a change wherebye the icon looks like a 35mm filmstrip and sports the Illustrator CS2 yellow flower. Double clicking the .swf file opens Illustrator CS2 which, unsurprisingly, tells me it cannot open the unknown file type (.swf). Flash 9 Reader is loaded as is Flash 8 application. Flash fails to open the converted file on the G4!
Problem 2:
As a work-around, I open the movie artwork file on the iMac, export the movie as a QuickTime.mov. A dialogue box opens telling me the installed version of QuickTime does not support the installed version of Flash and I should open Publish Settings in Flash and save as Flash 5 file. I do this. I export the file and again am presented with the same message! Every Quick Time export attempt has failed either on the Intel Core Duo or on the G4.
Two Questions:
1. Why is the original .swf filed changed to an illustrator file on the G4 and how can I retain it as the Flash file?
2. What is the problem that prevents ProQuickTime version 7.6.4 (518.35), recognising the Flash 5 export conversion process?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Praise be to Lord above! I have fixed it! And because I'm a nice guy and wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same frustration - I'm going to tell you how...
It was a problem with the registry that was causing the issue and funny old thing - uniblue's 'Registry Booster' solved the issue. It's ironic that software from the same company was used to solve the problem I know...I had almost decided to uninstall all uniblue products, but decided to run one last scan with registry booster to see what happened....So just to sum up, this is how to solve the above issue:
1. Re-create/rebuild your library as detailed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 or replace itunes folder with backup. Delete any corrupted/damaged files.
This alone should solve many issues but if you keep getting repeated corruption problems like I did then the problem seems to be within the REGISTRY.
2. To solve the registry error - I ran uniblue's 'Registry Booster' programme. I have no idea how to fix the registry manually. Sorry.
