FCPx 10.0.3 (exporting video, "proxy" - "original")

When you import video into FCPx and create proxy video from your original video, you must remember afterwards to change in the settings to "use proxy video when editing video", or else in defulte settings you use the original, even if you chosen "create proxy" in import video.
Then I noticed when exporting the finnished work that you have to remember to change back to original video in settings before encodning (exporting) the video, to the original video and  highest quality, otherwise you are encodning in proxy quality, and you will have a poor quality of the finished product.
Wish Apple would warn about this when encodningen with folowing message "do you want to change proxy video to export with the original video instead", or that this is done automatically, or to say the Apple words "it (should) just work".
It chould be common sence that the user wants to use proxy if chosen, for HQ HD material, for better working flow and export in original when finnish with project.
(otherwise very happy with the new layout for FCPx, feldt in the beggining like an amateurprogram, but now feels more and more professional, i have jumped from Adobe Premiere CS4 to FCPx).

I have written this to "Apple FCPx" (Provide FCPx Feedback), but for now I am writing this as information for those who wonder why the quality of the video does not get good at the finished product when encoading is done.
(Thats why i have written it here on Apple "diuscussion")

  • Presets not included when exporting video as original

    Hello everyone. I am having a nasty issue when I try to edit and export video out of Lightroom 4.3 on Mac 10.6.8. When I export as "Original" the presets and clipping are not applied. Another user on another discussion had suggested to flag the video, but it does no good for me. It just copies the video to the folder with no preset adjustments applied. When I try to export as H.264, it sets the output to 640x480, which is undesirable, and when it does export, the video quality is completely ruined, with a sort of milky white overlay and heavy pixelization.
    What can I do to export my video as "original" with all the presets applied?

    The second part of this is the answer, the first part is irrelevant.

    Lightroom never writes to the raw files.  Exporting as "original" gets you the original raw file. However, you can have LR output an XMP sidecar file with all the edit instructions in it, which still probably does not get you to where you want to be.
    The short answer is, to get your edits applied to the exported file, you need to pick a format other than "original".

  • Color on exported video on Adobe Premiere Pro Is a bit off from the original source video

    I have both Cyberlink powerdirector 10.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro C6
    I noticed that adobe premere cs6. when exporting the video.. colors are a little off.. never matching the same tones as the original
    source
    i took a screenshot  so you can see what i mean.. Notice Adobe is a a little mor orange. is there a way to fix this? Cyberlink powedirector always matches the source color when you export it. except Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6
    i have windows 7 64 bit (Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M

    Thanks for answering. I ddi notice different media players show colors different. But on the screenshot i just showed you.. all 3 are from the same media player.
    For some reason everytime i export a video from Adobe premiere pro the color is never the same as the source on media player. I tried it on 4 different videos. Other software programs like cyberlink power director export the video with no color change.
    1)The original source from the picture is a mpeg-4 (avc)
    2)i always use wmv codec to encode all videos. So the shot from Premiere Pro was using WMV codec. and the other shot (cyberlink powerdirector) was also wmv to encde.
    3) I even tried to see if maybe i used a  different video format to encode it would fix the slight color change. like h264 and mov.. but nope still same issue
    4) I did what you told me to show the source and exported video on Adobe Premiere and really weird. the exporterd video from Adobe Premiere now shows the exact color as the source.. but the exported video from Cyberlinkpowerdirector shows the color a bit different.
    Heres the media codec information

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Fcp X share export media export video & audio but I simply can't work with audio

    I simply wanna (and even tried to) save a movie using whichever codec, I make sure to set it up on "export video & audio", but I cannot do anything on audio since the audio file format won't be highlighted (just like if there was no sound on a video & audio file !!) It works if I choose an "audio only" file, but that's not what I want - I want to export video & audio. !!!
    Is it a matter of codec or a preference setting... I just cant figure out !
    Has anybody ever got the same trouble?
    Cheers

    It was set to Surround and 48Khz. I set it to Stereo (and 44.1Khz for good measure, as that is the sample rate of my soundtrack) and then re-exported to H.264, and now the audo is perfectly centered.
    So that's perfect, thanks.
    Now the only thing wrong with FCPX is how it crashes every ten minutes or so!

  • Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

    Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
    Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
    Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

    Just turned off background rendering.
    I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,083
    Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
    Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,274
    Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
    The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
    If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
    Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

  • Final Cut Pro X exports video clip as black

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a big problem, I'm trying to export a project with many HD clips, the first of which is the only one being shot as AVCHD on a Sony DSLR and converted to .mov by Voltaic HD because otherwise I can't import it in Final Cut Pro X. The rest of the clips are directly imported from another camera, no conversion.
    The first clip (the one I had to convert) plays and gets edited fine within FCPX, but after I export the whole project, all the part that had that clip is just black picture with no sound. My titles, photos in the meantime are still there, but otherwise all black until the next clips show up.
    The sources clips are hd1080p but I'm trying to export the project as 720p. My FCPX version is 10.0.9. I've edited videos from the same source and conversion before and never had this problem.
    So now I just took the same single clip into a new project and exported it at 720p and there it just works fine ... Arrrghh!! How can I fix this?

    I am having an almost identical problem:
    Trying to export (doesn’t matter to what: Master File, Apple Device, etc. all lead to the same result) the project I am working on is producing a black screen with no audio (for the length of the project) – only the start and end titles get rendered.
    The project plays fine in FCP X 10.0.9; the initial screen on the export dialog produces a correct looking screenshot (with both the picture and title visible), and predicts realistic sizes for the export file, which ends up being tiny by comparison.
    Other projects with a similar workflow are exporting fine: basically I have shot a couple of concerts, and each project is one song with start and end credits and some color correction, stabilization, etc.
    The source was 1080P video from a Canon SLR 5D Mark III, and it is being exported to 1080P -- however, I don't think that's relevant, because video from the same source to the same export files worked fine before - FCP X can obviously handle the format involved.
    I tried deleting the FCP X preferences -- didn’t help. I had already tried deleting the render files.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

  • Flicker showing up in exported videos with various codecs

    I am exporting videos using various codecs and all of them are showing a flicker occasionally that is obviously not in the original footage or in the editing footage. The flicker is a brief one-frame looking jump to black. The flicker only seems to occur viewing it on the web. Viewing the same file on my system using "Preview" (Mac OS X) produces the same flicker. However, watching it using the full QuickTime viewer does not show the flicker.
    The footage was shot using a DSLR and is from a Pentax K7 and is 1280 x 720, 25 fps.
    Edited footage in Premiere CS6 looks fine. I am using export settings for 720p from H.264 for YouTube, Vimeo and straight HD 720p at all three available frame rates (23.976, 25.0 29.97). I have also exported using QuickTime codecs at HD 720p, H.264
    Here is a link to two examples of the videos with the flicker probelms. One flick occurs in the first one in several places, the first one right at the beginning as the fade-in is still occurring, but occurs in both videos throughout occasionally.

    Any idea as to what is causing this and hot to fix it?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

    How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?  Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

    Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original.  That should get the original video file exported.  Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player.  If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

  • Bad Bug in iPhoto 8 exporting videos to folder

    I have recently been archiving my photos by making a DVD slide show, and also including the original photos on the data portion of the DVD. I typically would make a slideshow in iPhoto, and then export all of the files in the album to a folder, which I would then put onto the DVD to access later with iDVD. I noticed in iPhoto 8 that when you choose File>Export, and select Original format, that it DOES NOT export the Videos correctly, like it had in iPhoto 6. It actually only creates a little image of the first frame. I learned this the hard way. And to top it all off, I tried to grab the files with TIME MACHINE, only to realize that you need to restore the ENTIRE iPhoto library, you cant just do a few videos. BUNK!!!
    Apple Please get on top of this. Time machine is USELESS if I have to restore my entire 40 gig iPhoto library, and lose all the work I've done that day. Luckily I am craftier then you, and manually accessed the photos on the drive, which is a chore to navigate. Most people aren't as savvy. Git er Dun!

    cmelious:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's working correctly for me, i.e. exporting with Kind set to Original. What version of iPhoto are you at? Have you installed the latest iPhoto update as well as the iLife Support 1.1.1 update?
    If you have try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    If that doesn't help then:
    1 - create a new text library, import a couple of video and photo files and try again. If it works you library is the culprit. If it doesn't work try #2.
    2 - log into another account and try from there. If you don't have another account it a good troubleshooting tool. Create a plain, non-administrative account, run iPhoto to create a new library, import a couple of video and image files and try the export. If it works then something in your primary account is the culprit and could be a damaged pref file for some other app that iPhoto uses. Here's how to check that out.
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
    4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    5 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
    5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Exporting videos from iPhoto

    For the life of me, I can't figure out a way to export videos which I imported into iPhoto from my camera. I can export it to my desktop but can't export them in a format that I can then import into Vimeo or other video sharing site.
    What the heck does a guy gotta do to share his simple .avi videos with others on the Internet?
    I tried exporting it from Quicktime too, but sadly, exporting my own video from Quicktime requires that I have a Pro account. Sad but true.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    To export a video from iPhoto:
    Select the video in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. Set the *Kind: to Original*. This will export your video.
    can't export them in a format that I can then import into Vimeo or other video sharing site.
    Why? What formats do they require? Do the videos require shifting to a new format?

    Who can tell, when you don’t explain where the procedure breaks down for you.
    I tried exporting it from Quicktime too, but sadly, exporting my own video from Quicktime requires that I have a Pro account. Sad but true.
    Why is that sad? When you export from Quicktime you are shifting formats or otherwise editing the video.

  • Exporting Videos in Premier Pro CS4

    hey all!
    When I go to export my finished video it asks to set all the properties like the codec and its details, res and all that jazz - I was wondering, is it not possible to have the exported video use the exact same properties as the original? It seems like I HAVE to re-encode it...
    I dont want to risk losing any video or sound quality so why do I have to change the videos codec? Is there no way of just using the source video properties?
    Any info would be great, cheers guys!

    Nexus,
    One thing to consider with Export, is what do you plan on doing with the resulting file?
    If, for instance, you need to get the Exported material onto an iPod, you would work within the restrictions of that medium, and set your Export to match that. If you are going to BD (Blu-ray Disc), you would work within the specs. of that medium - and so on, and so on.
    What is your intended delivery medium?
    If it is to exactly (as close as you can) your source footage, except with the edits and additions, then sticking with the same format/CODEC and size settings will get you what you need.
    Let your needs dictate your Export settings. Remember, you can Export to many different settings, so you will not have to do any conversions, of the original Export.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
