FCP 7 Export issues

Hi,
i shot on iphone 4s, using 25fps. converted files via mpeg streamclip to pro res 422, but when i try and export the file from FCP 7 (at Pro Res 422 1920x1080 25p 48hz) using quicktime converter, i notice on the 50 min mov that there are areas which seem to glitch and freeze. please help!

Macbook Pro
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
There were filters such as Magic Bullet Looks, and that was all, but i've not applied them in the new version of the cut i'm trying.

PP CS5.5 FLV To MP4 Export Issues / Problems

I just upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. I do a fair amount of converting/exporting of imported FLV files (downloaded from internet news sites) to H.264/AAC w/ MP4 wrappers using Premiere Pro (PP) and Adobe Media Encoder (AME). My equipment is a 1+ yr. old HP Win 7 Pro w/ an Intel i970 Quadcore, 12 Gb RAM and MSI nVidia GTX 470 GPU. I have never experienced any queue or export issues w/ CS5 (at least that I noticed), but I am experiencing noticeably degraded queue export and direct export problems with these files in CS5.5.
Description: (1) The queue export times for the exact same imported FLV clip(s) using the exact same sequence settings and H.264/MP4 export settings are noticeably slower in CS5.5 (sometimes 2x, depending on the export settings, e.g. using maximum render quality) than in CS5; (2) My MSI Afterburner GPU monitoring software indicates 5-10% GPU usage during queue/export in CS5, while indicating 0% GPU usage (flatline) in CS5.5; and (3) When I attempt to direct export these files using CS5.5 I get the following error message: "The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist."
I suspect that it may have something to do with "conforming" anomalies when the FLV file is imported into PP, but I would put that squarely in the category of rank speculation on my part.
Has anyone experienced the same or similar problems or have any insight into what may be the problem(s)? Of course, thanks for any help/insight you can provide.
Jim

What do you mean by a better routine?
A better compression routine than H.264.
Is the quality better than H.264?
Yes.
Does this use an MOV wrapper?
Yes.
Also, would it import correctly into PPro?
Yes.
we would import files into PPro exported out of FCP and would get a red pixelated glitch during preview and export. Does this codec solve this problem as well if it is an MOV wrapper?
I don't know anything about FCP.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to get things right before diving into a new codec.
It's harmless, and free.
Download it and run some tests.

FCP 5 export to .AVI for Windows client? Advice needed!

I have a Windows platform client that wants my Exported FCP 5 Sequence in .AVI format.
Obviously, I normally always use Export to Quicktime Movie in FCP, and I do know that their is not a direct choice in FCP to export/convert as an .AVI file. (I usually hand off the FCP file to another facility that does DVD Studio Pro authoring work, and haven't had a need to make different file formats).
This has made me to ponder of few bits of info, that I'm sure I could get great ansers to, here.
My normal "workaround" for making an .AVI for a Windows user is to Export as Quicktime Movie in FCP, like normal, and then open that exported file in Quicktime Pro, and use Export Movie to AVI in Quicktime Pro. Is this the best method? Secondly, I am a little unsure as to the best settings I should use in QT Pro to achieve this. For example:
I just did a routine NTSC 48k,16 bit stereo, 30 second ad in FCP, and my normal, Export to Quicktime Movie was about 260 meg in size for the finished, self-contained movie file.
I opened this in QT-Pro and ran Export to AVI. In the settings dialog, I chose "uncompressed" for video and 48k-16 bit stereo for audio. The resulting export was about 680 meg in size! Because of file size restrictions for the clients product, what settings change or choice should I be making in QT-Pro to get an "equivalent" of the 260 meg file the FCP is exporting? Should I not get an equal file size of the QT-Pro AVI versus the FCP export (both 260 meg?).
If the answer is compression, what is the best settings in QT-Pro? Cinepak? Intel Indeo?
Perhaps, I have always misunderstood what FCP Export to Movie is giving me, but I thought that was uncompressed video? If so, why do I get the 260 meg out of FCP, and then 680 meg from QT-Pro Export to AVI (uncompressed) for the same 30 second clip? Is it simply a data rate difference?
Lastly, I have actually had a Windows user take a FCP Export to Movie file, straight from me, and they say it opened fine in Windows Media Player as is for viewing. However, there is no (dot) file extension name on the end of the filename. They can simply click File/Open in Windows Media Player and choose the "unrecognized" file because of no extension, and play it just fine to at least view the clip.
So what exactly is the file type that FCP is creating? It's not a .MOV and not an AVI file. What would be the equivalent file type association (just for my curiosity).
Thanks for any help to the above as I value the more-experienced users here.

Hi Wade,
Sorry for letting your post unanswered for two days, we were all busy (I know, it is not an excuse).
Seriously, I think the reason you are not getting answers is you have asked too many questions in one post. Don't know about others, but I get slightly confused.
Let me tell you what I do with FCP material when I send it to our sound department where they work with Nuendo on PCs. I export sequence using QT Conversion. My settings are: Format - AVI, Compression type - DV-PAL, Compressor quality - Best. I do not bother much about the sound. I sent the resulting file over network to a Maxtor FireWire external drive connected to a colleague's PC and then take the drive down to the sound guys. If the AVI file is smaller than 2 GB I can burn it to a DVD and a PC can open it, if it is larger, PCs cannot open. Also, the sound guys ask me not to use Cinepac, they do not like it. Therefore, I use DV-PAL; I guess you may safely use DV-NTSC but it depends on who will open the AVI file. Ask your client what it wants.
I think my routine is a bit more streamlined than yours - I export straight from FCP and do not bother with QT. You are wrong in saying that there is no direct way in FCP to export AVI.
Hope this is a starter for more answers. Also, have you tried searching the forum? I am sure all the answers are already there.

Bizzare export issue

Here is a very weird export issue. Windows XP.
Project is set at h264 1920x1080 mono audio 29.97 fps
I have 30 shots that make up the sequence. Each shot is exactly 90 frames. I exported each sequence at h264 1920x1080 with one channel of audio. The first shot exports just fine and is 5 MB. The second shot exports at 10 MB. The third is 15 MB, the tenth shot is 50MB. But the picture is still 90 frames for each shot. BUT, when I export without audio each exported file is just 5 MB. If I look at the properties of each clip the duration of the video and audio is just 90 frames. If I open one of these clips in QuickTime Pro and re-export it as source then the files size goes back to 5 MB; same video, same audio yet with the correct file size.
Anyone seen this before?
Is there a setting that could be incorrect?

Weird, man. Not sure what might cause that.

Anyone get FCP to 'export using compressor' without it crashing?

As per the subject lads, for a long while now FCP 6 produces the spinning beachball and hangs indefinitely when I try to 'export using compressor'. I have to export using QT, then import the QT file into compressor where it works from time to time ( I think it's a really buggy app ).
Done all the usual things to try to fix it including full updates etc but it still crashes FCP. It would be handy to get it to work so if anyone has an answer I'd be grateful.
Peter

Yep trashed the lot, but I do use instances. I've come across some folks who allow compressor to employ all the available instances but expect FCP to function in the background and they experience hangs and crashes. I have allowed compressor to use half my instances and it fairly whizzes through the work when dealing with self-contained QT movies ( when it isn't playing up ) but I didn't think that using half my instances would still crash FCp when exporting directly off the timeline.
I'll disable instances and see if that cures it. If it does then it's actually worth abandoning 'export using compressor' off the timeline when I know Compressor works so quickly with self-contained QT movies and instances.

Can FCP X export .m4v directly?

Can FCP X export .m4v directly without usig Compressor?

Looks like .m4v to me.
iPad is the same. Do not use the Mac & PC compatible option. That makes .mp4 for PC compatibility.

Please help. Color Crashes on "Send to FCP" or export XML

This error has just started happening and it's driving me nuts.
I'm using FCS3 and I've got all the latest updates.
I'm grading 60 sec commercials (source is XDCAM EX HD 1080p and I'm rendering in Pro Res HQ 1080)
I did 3 this morning with no probs.
Now on my 4th; Color "quits unexpectedly" every time i try to export XML or send to FCP.
I haven't done anything differently.
After trying and crashing 3 times, I restarted the computer and tried again.
No change.
I thought that maybe the file is corrupt so I started a new project and did the grade again.
Still no joy.
Anybody got any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks
Hills

I also am having this problem. I am running a Macbook Pro with 2 gigs of ram, OS 10.6.2, FCP 7.01 and Color 1.5. I am working on a film which is is in small 4-5 minute segments with nothing fancy, DVCPRO HD-1080i60. There are some B/W tiff files at the start of each segment. They are all rendered fine. Color crashes the second I try to send back to FCP or export XML. The error code message is:

Crystal JRC PDF Export Issue

We are experiencing a PDF export issue with Crystal JRC version 12.2.202. The PDF report shows 1 of 3 pages but ONLY the first page is generated. When this occurs, ALL other users that are exporting to PDF experience the same issue with any multiple page report. I can't find any errors in the log that would indicate what the problem is. To resolve the issue, I have to recycle the WebLogic application server that hosts the JRC, which would indicate something gets "locked" in memory and gets cleared when the app server is bounced.
Any ideas on how to resolve this ?

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the response!
Though, the mentioned Sun JVM Bug explains the root-cause, the Bug status also state that it is not fixed yet.
Also, we are reluctant to change the JVM Option to -Xint due to unknown impacts on JVM optimizations.
Is there a patch released for CrystalReports to deal with this behavior? We are using CRJ runtime 11.5.7.620 and seeking for a patch on this version.
Thanks.

Simple flash export issue

hello
I'm trying to export a flash video using Adobe media encoder from Premier Pro, but when I do I get this error " there are no clips to build".
I have another file that I am able to export and it does not have this problem.
They are Windows Media files and play in Premier fine. I am using Premier Pro CS3.
Lastly, I'm not a video expert but I really need to get these up on the web for work, there is a lot of pressure and I need to get it done.
Regards,
Tom

Exporting ISSUES! Help

I am a relatively new user to lightroom. I haven't had any exporting issues until today. I am attempting to export a photo/photos to a specific folder with a custom name. When I do this it exports the WHOLE library and NOT the edited photo. What am I doing wrong??

Lightroom usually exports all images that are highlighted. If you only want to export one image then make sure it is the only image that is highlighted.

FCP cant export any video

Hi,
I have been dealing with editing a feature film for some months now. I've been able to easily export the sequence until now. I have tried a few things. I exported a self-contained quicktime movie, I used compressor in FCP to export it that way and none work. I even erased my hard drive, and installed all the software again. With no luck. I use to have an aja kona LSe card connected to an external monitor, but that stopped working about a week ago. When the problems started happening. I am trying to play with that and see if I can get it to work again, but no luck. When the project is open now FCP in general has become very slow. My settings now for FCP are the standard DV-NTSC anamorphic set-up. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

You likely have some media that's corrupt and that is what is stopping the export. The LHe card is another thing altogether.... you might call AJA about that. Try moving your media to another folder on the same hard drive, then open the project and reconnect the media files a few at a time until you see a crash or warning, or something that lets you know that the media needs recapturing. If this fails to fix you up, I'd suggest a clean erase and install of OS X, then FCS on top of that on a fresh startup disk. If you've not done this in a while, it's likely time anyway to do it.

FCP keeps exporting progressive ProRes files as Interlaced

I have captured a clip from tape using 1920x1080 25i setting on Kona3 card with the ProRes HQ codec. The tape is progressive but there was no option to capture 1080 25psf so I was informed that 1080 25i would be fine.
FCP states the clip has Upper field dominance so I set it to 'None' and dropped it into a 1920x1080 ProRes HQ 25fps sequence.
The Sequence timeline settings were 'None' and the Prores Advanced codec options the Interlaced option was also unchecked. All fine, exported the clip based on Current Settings to render a new (progressive) Quicktime.
I then reimported the rendered clip it back into FCP and it stated that the rendered clip is still Upper Field dominant. Short of reencoding through Compressor (v slow and creates a second generation encoded file) I cannot seem to get FCP to export this material as progressive.
Is there a way I can just change the Field Dominance flag/tag of the clip within FCP or another application to "None" withut any rerenders/encodes?
Any help gladly appreciated as this is becoming a real mystery/headache!

If I manually change it for every source file to progressive (which should be done automaticallt by Compressor), I then get a progressive output.
But that defeats Compressor's purpose and is a source for error.
Jérôme.
I'm not sure what this means.
And I wonder whether it's a metadata thing and, and while disconcerting, whether it will have any practical effect on your project.
As a test try a single clip. Turn on frame controls with output fields set to progressive. See if it is now identified correctly. If it is bring that into FCP and compare against that against the one that is identified as interlaced.
If Frame Controls doesn't work, then I think I would use MPEG Streamclip. It's fast and has a very good batch feature.
Good luck.

FCP to Compressor (can I still work in FCP will export is happening)?

This may be a dumb question. Usually I export from FCP to a master ProRes, THEN bring the ProRes into Compressor to make various formats. And I know I can continue working in FCP while this is happening.
I want to short circuit that process on this job, go straight out of FCP to Compressor. Which works fine. I'm wondering, once I've started the batch process in Compressor, can I be working with FCP while it is exporting THROUGH Compressor?
Or am I going to crash the whole process?
All ears,
Ben

Please excuse typo in question:
FCP to Compressor (can I still work in FCP WHILE export is happening)?
S'cuse me.

Exporting issues after 4.2 upgrade

Has anyone else experienced exporting issues after installing the 4.2 upgrade? It used to be a breeze but now I keep getting the message that a destination folder has not been specified even though I've done that. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Are you using an Export preset, or setting the Export up manually each time?

Reporting Export Issue from Taleo

Can anyone help? We have a work around for the Exporting Issues into Excel 2010 regarding figures and dates only reading as text, however, a new issue has arisen. In one field we have Aggregated Agencies assigned to any particular Job Code. In the legacy reports, every agency name exported into one cell in Excel, now they export into individual rows, this causes a report to be too long and there is no way to amalgamate them into one cell. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

is there someway that it was reformatted by the Iomega drive being daisy chained to it?
No. That is not possible -anyway, reformatting erases everything on a drive.
You would have noticed that first.
You can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the clients drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern Windows PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.
