FCPX Export Issue: Choppy/glitchy video

When I'm exporting the finished MOV will be extremely choppy with the video. The audio will play perfectly (it's a 3 minute song) but the video will go glitchy and play 3 or 4 frames on a very fast loop, almost like a strobe. The footage was shot on a Canon 550d at 24fps and 50fps (the different frame rates hasn't given me issues while editing. Any help is much appreciated.

Guys really appreciate the help, so thanks.
This is what happens when the file is exported, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dui1uBnArRk lots of skipped/glithcy frames.
My set up is: Macbook Pro, 4gb, using a 500gb external drive as the capture scratch with all video files on the external drive. The link I've given is exported straight from Final Cut to Youtube but the same thing happens regardless of codec used on export Some of the footage was shot in 25fps and some 50fps. It's all being played back at 50fps and works fine on playback so don't think it's the issue. The footage was shot on a Canon 550d (t21) and imported/edited as the imported file, no conversion done. This all worked fine for editing, on playback within FCPX it's all perfect but only on export that the issue occurs.

  • FCPX Export issue. Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

    I am having issues with exporting a project I just shot and I missed my delivery day and am now late. Need help ASAP. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and stick to the pertinent information.
    The Shoot: -2 Panasonic HVX-200's shooting on P2 Media shooting a live event -Dumped footage onto external hard drive via Macbook Pro on set into separate folders for organization using a Panasonic P2 Reader. -All dumps were confirmed completed and all footage accounted for.
    The System: -Using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2 -Mac Pro Tower 2009 quad core running OSX Mavericks 16gb Ram -Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card
    The Edit: -2 Camera multicam edit -Imported footage using import media function -Imported from external drive -(important note: a camera has never been connected to the computer for this project) -Edit is finished, about a 2hr 20 min finished sequence (live event 2 cameras switched in post, all graphics and everything is done)
    The Problem: -When I go to export via the "Share" function i get an error that says "This Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" -Imported footage has the camera logo in the corner meaning that it is referencing camera media; yet no camera has ever been connected.
    Solutions I have tried: -Re-importing media with re-import function --Says that the camera is not connected yet I never had one connected in the first place. -Deleting preferences -Biting the bullet and starting from scratch to do a re-edit -- footage will not import without referencing "camera media" -Tried importing via dragging and dropping. Says it cannot importing the following files, lists all of the XML and MXF files -Started a new event, with a new project, with a fresh import; same results -Googled this to death, no solution seems to work, but I'll try whatever I have to; client needs this ASAP.
    Questions: -The external drive is not showing up as a camera, so why is it importing as camera media? -Is there a way to salvage my edit and get it exported? I have a lot of hours into this and quite frankly, no time to redo the whole thing.
    Please help!

    I have had this issue too, and figured a work around.  FYI, I rebooted, tried everything imaginable, and still no luck.  I opened up iPhoto, and imported all the video clips into iPhoto.  I then took the missing video from iPhoto, copied it to my desktop.  Then I re-imported the video (same name) into Final Cut. I had to do some slight editing of the video, but everything worked fine, and allowed me to upload the video to YouTube. 
    Not certain it will work for others, but to recap, try to import the video into another program, then copy the missing video file to your desktop, and re-import to Final Cut.
    Hope this helps.

  • WMV Import/Export Issues (Odd Resulting Video)

    Hello all,
    I've been plagued with a problem that has had me scratching my head for days now. My scenario is I need to create a number of short slideshows. I've been using PhotoStory 3 to create the basic slideshow, then importing the video from PS to Premiere to add a voiceover. The problem is when I import the video slideshow, when I play the video on Premiere's timeline some parts of the video have been dropped (i.e. one picture will start fading to the next, and the video will suddenly go black for a few seconds, then fade to the next picture) and some of the fade transitions in-between pictures have been abruptly cut short.
    What's even weider is that deleting the video from Premiere, shutting Premiere down and then restarting it and re-importing the slideshow sometimes fixes the problem. Sometimes it introduces different missing video segments; sometimes there are more problems than before.
    When (by simple luck) the video plays properly on Premiere's timeline, I've tried to export the video as a WMV. The result is more black segments and skipped transitions. I also tried rendering the same as a DV file, which fixed everything except one black segment. On another occasion, I managed to render one slideshow as a WMV with no issues at all. But only once, and after a number of failed attempts.
    What should I do? Any WMV file not from Photostory imports and exports just fine. I tried using Premiere's slideshow capabilities (automate to timeline), but the pan/zooming is far too manual. Encore does the job great, but it can't export to anything other than DVD (I need WMV!). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs: Dell XPS 410, 2.66 GHz w/ dual core processors, 4 gigs RAM, Vista Home Premium

    I would avoid the conversion to DV and then to mpeg. If you really need to edit the video, then do not use Photostory.
    If you are leaving the video from Photostory alone, why not do the voiceover in Photostory? Or do some kind of conversion of the video so you can play it in PPro and do the voiceover (such as Colin's method, and even leaving the type1 if it plays evenly), but use the wmv in encore. It is far from ideal, but a Photostory export (wmv, use settings for DVD) looked pretty good. (I don't actually remember whether I did the transcode in Encore or DVDIt.)
    I would not do my own slideshow in Photostory with only wmv for export, but for the school musical I was doing, it was the Photostory slideshow done by the school for a DVD "bonus" or nothing.

  • FCPX export issues

    Has anyone got any ideas why I see these terrible marks/ wavey lines after I export my project? - they are on fades that I've made by key framing. I don't see these when I play my project in fcp, it's only after I have exported it. It doesn't seem to make any sense.

    I've already tried exporting the project on every setting I can including uncompressed 10 bit.
    I have had a problem with error 1 when I was trying to export it which I've noticed lots of people have when I tried to export it in H.264 (where it says an error occured while creating frame 7223) however I managed to export it as a master file in Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) but this didn't make sense to me as this is a larger higher quality file size.
    I don't really think this error should have any effect on the problem in the picture I posted I've taken a smaller sample of my whole project and exported it just fine and this is still a problem. I've also tried duplicating the project.. re rendering, creating it as new project etc etc just incase it was some kind of render issue but I've had no success at all.
    Also I've not used any third party effects it's just simple keyframing to black and from black to colour.

  • PP CS5 Video Exporting as choppy.  HELP!

    I am running PP on a MacBook Pro with the i7 processor.  I have edited and exported a ton of videos with no problems- most of them include projects from After Effects as well.
    Video's are shot using a 7d,5dmk2, and contour camera.
    I am mixing some 24p and 60p footage- but interpreting properly and haven't had issues before.
    I am using the following plug-ins:
    Colorista 2
    This edit is the first time I have used Twixtor
    I am now working on another video and now running into major issues on export.  On export of this video it is so choppy I can't watch it.  The export is in h.264.  I have tried exporting as Vimeo HD and Youtube widscreen HD.  It plays perfect on my machine in Premiere Pro prior to export.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    You're rendering to a lossless codec which is the default.
    Please read the help section on rendering and export. Press F1 then look at the 3rd from the bottom heading. Click there and read. Especially the choosing formats section.
    I can't tell you what codec to use unless I know what you are going to do with the video.

  • LR 5 Slideshow Video Export Issue

    I've created a slideshow where all of the photos display properly within Lightroom's slideshow module.  But when I export the slideshow to video (this doesn't happen for the pdf export), a few of my photos are rendered on screen at very low resolution/fuzzy.  This only happens to a few of the photos and these same photos look fine if viewed within the LR slideshow module.  It's just after export that a few of the photos get rendered at low resolution; all other photos in the slideshow are fine.  Reading some posts, i tried deleting the previews for all of the photos and then re-rendering them at 1:1 and then trying the export again, but i get the same outcome...although this time, different photos were rendered at low resolution.   Is this some kind of bug or have i failed to set a setting properly?

    I can duplicate the issue of some landscape images appearing very soft in the MP4 slideshow video on my Windows 7 LR5.3 system.
    To rule out issues I started by selecting all of the image files to be used in the Library module. Then I selected toolbar Library> Previews> Discard 1:1 previews. Next I selected Library> Previews> Build 1:1 Previews and then created the slideshow video again. None of the images appeared soft in the 1080p video created from Canon 5D MKII video files. In fact the results actually appear better than LR4.
    If this doesn't resolve your issue please provide image file types you are using (Camera model, raw, JPEG, resolution), Slideshow video preset you are using (1080p, 720p etc.), and your Catalog Settings> File Handling> Standard Preview Size (2048, 1680, etc.).

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro CC Export issue on still images

    Premiere CC latest version 2014.
    Hey guys. So I've recently had some serious problems on a couple of projects where I have exported videos with stills (jpegs) in the timeline, and they flicker or have dark lines running through when exported to h264 files - but only on the still images. It is not interlace issues. The exports have odd dark lines flickering over that portion of the export file. The video elements in the timeline seem to export fine though. It has happened on both my main desktop PC on a large complicated edit and on my VAIO laptop on another separate projects that was a very simple talking head with JPEG overlays. So I don't think its an isolated issue in a particular project or on a particular graphics card. Is this a bug in Premiere? 
    This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi James,
    This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
    Any suggestions?
    Sorry about that. Did you apply any effects? If so, what were they and with which combinations? Did you apply effects to clips or to adjustment layers?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • 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,

  • Stair-stepping artifacts when exporting H.264 426x240 video for web

    I'm trying to export a 16:9 video clip for web using H.264 compression at 426x240 resolution from compressor using square pixel aspect ratio. No matter what bit rate I set it at -- 600kbps-6,000kbps I still get these really jagged edges. Even though my source is DV, the original file does not have anything close to this; also I have never had this issue before. One other thing to note is that if I export at full resolution H.264 -- 640x360, I don't get any stair-stepping.
    Here is a frame grab of the video with the problem:
    http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264-frame.jpg
    You can download a video clip of it here (data rate is around 600-700kbps):
    http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264.mov
    I'm also noticing some sort of horizontal lines in the artifacts?? This is progressive scan footage shot on a DVX100B 24pA (and captured properly w/2:3:3:2 pull down removal, the original file doesn't have this)
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is getting really annoying having to export huge files...
    PS: I'm using Compressor v3.0.2

    It could be some scaling artifact. Make your stream progressive using frame controls (stay away from the best setting) and that should help.

  • Does anybody know how to solve this exporting issue?

    I am trying to export my video and this message keeps coming up and failing my export. I have never had a problem before and have been using Premiere for over 6 years now and have never seen this before. I have changed settings here and there, but regardless what I try to export into I get the same error message. Tried opening a new sequence and copying over my project to then export by still nothing.
    On a few instances it did export some of my video, but only about half of it, even though it was set to export the entire video.
    I can't find a solution to this issue. I have enough disk space, so that isn't the issue.
    Please can someone help?

  • Firefox box around zoomed out images issue w/ (xf86-video-intel)

    When I zoomout on a page firefox displays a insetted box around my images.
    Most notably in my webmail client, however it happens even on the forums if I zoomout.
    Regualar zoom: http://world.pyther.net/files/Firefox/regular_zoom.png (The way it should look)
    Zoomed Out: http://world.pyther.net/files/Firefox/zoom_out.png (Inset boxes around images)
    This happens with both the offical arch build of firefox and the spookyet build. I have no idea how to fix this, it is very annoying!
    Any help would be great!
    EDIT:
    After doing some more research I have narrowed this down to being an issue with xf86-video-intel. The problem does not happen if I use the xf86-video-vesa driver. I have filed a bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468366

  • Final Cut Pro takes time to share/export a 40 minute video

    I bought a brand new new Macbook Pro (4 GB RAM, i5, HD 500 GB (300 GB available) Mid 2012 model and it takes 3-4 hours to share/export a 40 minute video without any effects applied on the clips. I have another Macbook Pro, same model and same specs and it just takes an hour to render the same video/project which I think is reasonable time.
    Video files are from my Canon 60d camera which are .mov files. I usually export my projects to H.264 Video and AAC. (Share>Master File)
    I don't have any problem exporting/sharing a 3 minute video with effects applied on the clips on my macbook Pro where I'm having a problem with because it has the same export/share time with my other MBP. It takes 5 minutes to share/export a 3 minute video which I think is reasonable. The problem is why my new Macbook Pro takes time to share/export a project with a video duration of 30-40 minutes compared to my other Macbook Pro.
    Thank you for your help!
    Final Cut Pro version: 10.0.8
    Macbook: OS X 10.9.2

    If you have two MBPs with exactly the same specs (including GPU) – and you have comparable free space on both system drives –and comparable free space on any media drives  – then verify that your perceptions of their exporting times are different by doing a test with identical projects media and export settings – and ith no other apps running. If you confirm that one is much faster than the other, I'd suspect the GPU. Also open Activity Monitor to see what's being reported – particularly to see whether there are differences in the way memory is being used.

  • CP 6 issue with inserted videos

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with inserted videos in CP6. They play in preview (F8) but not in published output (swf nor html).
    This is what I do:
    The videos created with CP6, Record new Demo
    output cpvc
    open cpvc in CP 6
    publish see settings below:
    Now I want to insert the captured and published demo into my training CP6 project
    click 'Video' on menu bar -> Insert Video -> select 'Event Video' -> browse to the file on my computer -> select file (mp4) - click OK
    Video gets loaded into CP6 project with default skin
    Before save the changes of the project I change the settings on the property panel to:
    Now I preview my project
    Press F8
    Preview is generated
    video demo plays automatically as expected
    This all even works well with multiple demo videos on one slide which can be selected by clicking different show me buttons (advanced actions created to show and hide according videos)
    BUT now I publish my project and nothing works anymore, videos do not show on scene and cannot be selected with respective show me buttons
         Publishing settings are:
    At the end of the publishing dialogue I click to view output in web browser (IE9) and there starts the trouble:
    IE shows up withfollowing dialogue:
    I allow blocked content and select cancel in the following dialogue box:
    And the training loads, everything works fine except the videos integrated to start automatically there is a blank space nothing.
    Does anyone have an idea solution for me?
    I am so puzzled and do not know hoe to proceed...
    Thanks in advance for your reply!!!
    Stephanie

    Hi RodWard,
    Thanks for your fast reply!!!
    The video files are present in the same folder as the SWF publish location.
    The drive letter is on my local PC with multiple partitions and not a network drive.
    Flash global security settings are set for E:
    To your last suggestion about file naming I did the following:
    Generate new mp4s
    Name them only with alphanumerics ie. DemoScroll
    insert them into project
    preview OK
    publish and check if demos are in folder - yes they are
    open html in IE9  - NOK!!!
    Now frustration rose...
    So I tried one thing that I had not yet tried - open html in FireFox and there it is OK :-)
    I do not understand....BUT we need to be able to support IE!!!!
    Do you think there are specific settings that need to be changed in IE to make it work?
    I would highly appreciate a suggestion what to look for in IE...
    Do you think it is related to IE9?  ´
    Since I have IE 9 and CP6 I also get the LMS messages and actriveX message when viewing projects in browser.
    Looking forward to your help.
    Thanks in advance Stephanie
