File export function is grey / inactive

I have cut manually a DV-AVI-file in different sequences using PRE 8. I deleted all the sequencies in the timeline except one. This remaining sequence I want to export as a new AVI-File using File -> Export - Funciton.
But: this function is not activated, so I can't export it.
What is wrong with my PRE ?

Neale: meanwhile I realized that I have to do the export exactly the way you described. But what happens is: date/time-information is lost. I think that has to do exactly with the descriptions made by Bill on the post of Jun 12, 2010 8:47 AM.
Since my goal is to separate a whole MiniDV-AVI-File into the different (self chosen) sequencies without loosing any metadata information and with the date/time in the file name is:
I split the file using DVMP (since I can split the file wherever I want without loosing any metadata and I can modify timecode and/or date/time)
I rename the resulting AVI-Files using ScenAlyze
The so created files I will use in PRE 8.

File Export is greyed out in after effects

I was working on a movie project to export into flash professional but when
i get to the export function its greyed out....
i've done this action a few days ago and it worked fine now i can't do it.
I thought because i imported different jpegs into the project that maybe this was the problem so i went back to the project which had allowed me to do this in the first place but the export feature was also greyed out...
Anyone?

I tried Selecting one comp, multiple comps
, its just weird...could it be a preferences thing orcomp settings?

Premiere Elements 9 Trial Export functionality

Hello,
I'm trying the Elements 9 Trial (I'd like to change my current 6.5 version) and the File/Export functionality is inactive.
Does anybody know if this is due to the Trial Version or am I missing something in the process?
Thanks

Thanks for your feedbacks, Steve,
I don't know the details of the camera the videos are from.
My final need is to transform these .mov files in flv files for an online use.
The tool i use for FLV transformation needs .avi as a source (it could also handle .mov I suppose, but it has to process many types of videos, and the avi format is the common format, otherwise i'll have to split my process according to the type of videos, I hope I won't have to do so).
I'd like to keep the higher frame size possible in order to have an avi source that would be as good as possible, so I'll only have to change my flv settings if, let's say in 2 years time, online standards should require higher quality videos. I hope you understood what I have in mind.

Premiere CS4 crashes/freezes upon File Export Media click

My system:
CS4 master collection. I have some remnants of CS3 on my computer.
4 Gig RAM
Quad Core processor
Vista
My problem:
Problem started yesterday and I've tried a lot of things but can't figure this out. When I click File>Export>Media, premiere greys out most panels and nothing can be clicked. It gives a beep of death on every click. I need to use task manager to close premiere. The only thing I've found I am able to do is click escape, which returns me to my project as if nothing has happened.
I've tried a range of different projects, including a brand new one with nothing in it except a 10 second DV avi file. Same problem across the board.
I've reinstalled CS4 Master collection but didn't uninstall it first. No change. Would it help to uninstall everything and start from scratch?
Never had this problem before.
It also does the same thing on file>export>clipnotes but I CAN export an EDL.
The only change to my PC between this not happening and it happening was I installed the new music streaming software 'Spotify'. I have since uninstalled this but it hasn't fixed it.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be hugely grateful.
Ed

Hey Ed, I had replied earlier in the other thread you posted in and just noticed you started a new topic here, so, copied from the other thread:
I had something similar happen to me a few times... if the escape key is taking you back to premiere and returning everything to normal, then your computer is not really hanging or crashing. What most likely is happening is that Premiere is opening a dialog box OFF SCREEN, so you just can't see it or click on it to attend to what it's asking. Hitting escape is like hitting cancel, which returns you to your project.
To fix: just mess around with your monitor setups in your display panel, ie.: if you have a dual monitor setup, temporarily disable one monitor - forcing everything to open on one screen. And/Or set your screen resolution to the maximum your video card allows so that you may uncover the off screen space the dialog opens on. OR... you're video card may have a control panel with the option of forcing all windows onto one screen or preventing off screen display. Basically do whatever it takes to get a view of off your screen.
Once you discover that missing window, make sure you move it onto your primary display, somewhere in the center, and the next time you try to encode it should be right where it should be.
Good luck.

What do you mean by "copy and paste a page"? What tool have you selected? Or are you just assuming you can select stuff and copy/paste as in Word?

Adobe Premiere exports white as grey

I have been searching the web for my problem, but I think I am on the wrong path:
After rendering a 3D-Animation in single PNGs, I imported these to Premiere, added them to a sequence and exported it. The problem I am getting with all codecs and all container-formats (except QuickTime!): white is rendered grey
Here is a screenshot of comparison final video/ preview in premiere:
Here is what I tried (and what did not work):
- applying ProcAmp Effect: no difference
- rendering preview (preview in premiere looks good) and using preview files for export: white still grey
- exporting in different container formats and codecs: no results for all windows container file formats: avi, mpeg, H.264 etc.
- only time it works: exporting to quick time container file (works with all codecs!) - so I have the feeling it is not a codec-issue
- using all combination of settings: Maximum Render Quality and Render at Maximum Depth, using PAL or NTSC etc.
So, at least there is a way to export it correctly using Quicktime as the file format. But I need to put this animation in a power point presentation for a presentation, and unfortunateley QuickTime is the only format not supported by PP..
Thank you for any suggestions or hints..

I would suggest a few things, more or less in this order:
- Delete your preferences (quit, hold alt and launch Pr), try again.
- Start a new project with different but similar footage, and export again. Any change?
- Uninstall and reinstall Pr.
- If all this fails, you might need to reinstall your OS, as some of the core video functions may be damaged.
I don't share your feeling about ruling out a codec. CoDec is short for Compression/Decompression. You may be compressing fine, but having issues with decompression, or vice-versa.
Don't know if this will help, but there are options in Quicktime and the WMV component for Mac (which I use) that holds settings for gamma filters, etc. And I wonder if there isn't something similar in the Windows side that you may have inadvertently set, or gotten broken because of a file corruption, preference, etc.
Sounds maddening, though. Hope you get it fixed.

Trouble shooting the export function

I am a new user to CS4 Premiere 4.1.0 as part of my master suite program bought 2 weeks ago. I can't find any trouble shooting help or explanation of error messages in the program's help section; I have tried most of the trouble shooting steps (other than reinstalling the entire suite) from the knowledge base on the Adobe site without any success; and finally would like someone on this forum to rescue my newly installed Premiere from disaster. Here is my problem:
---- when exporting utilizing the media encoder; after exporting and clicking on the encoder to start , the program would come back with the following error message " PProheadless has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Remote Import Module. Cpp-250]". I can't find any reference to this error code and how to fix it on the Adobe website. I have tried to fix it for days now without any results. Without being able to fix this my programs are useless to me.
Not finding any reference on the Adobe manual to the error code or how to trouble shoot the program is really demoralizing and disappointing to me. You can see PProHeadless as a program on the computer's hard drive but you won't find any reference to this program throughout the Adobe website.
For reference my hardware specs. are: i7 920 CPU, 6 G DDR3, Asus P6T professional work station main board, 160 G SSD SATA C-Drive, 1 tera byte SATA D and E drives, the GPU is nvidia GTX 285 with 1 GB ram, 1000 Watt power supply in a mini tower, plus Sony Blue ray, OS is Vista 64 premium. The computer is dedicated to editing video. All programs are loaded on C; the D drive is used as working space and virtual ram. E drive is for storage. The only other program running is Avast anti-virus program. The file exporting problem stays even when Avast is uninstalled. All the devise drivers are Vista 64 compatible. The computer is brand new; dedicated to Premiere - not even Microsoft word is loaded.
In addition to the above exporting problem, every time I switch between loaded programs such as between Premiere and Firefox, the cursor would stay in the "wait" mode, i.e. in a spinning circle, for about a minute before turning into an arrow in Premiere. It almost feels like Premiere has to reload the ram all over again; this is really annoying and time wasting.
If I have known of these issues, I would have bought a Mac Pro with Mac software in the first place.
I would really appreciate some help from friends and experts on this forum. Thank you.

Do you have a dynamic or fixed dimension table?
Looks like you have a fixed dimension table here...
Using -> [*] is to specify each instances of that object inside the subform specified... Here if you have more than one PSI into Row5 it would work... But as I understand you have to write only Avg(Row3.PSI, Row4.PSI, Row4.PSI)
If you have a dynamic table and your row is only named Row1... each instances of the row would be Row1[0], Row1[1], Row1[2]
So in your Average function you would only write :
Avg(Row1[*].PSI) and it would return the average of each rows

Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
When I export via the book (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
- I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
- I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
- Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
- These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
- Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
- On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
- I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
- In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
- No links are flagged as missing.
Any help much appreciated.

The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
I synchronized the whole shebang;
I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
Bingo!

Export function not working in Internet Explorer

so i've got a report displayed in IE, but when i go to export to any file format, IE opens a new tab and that's it. depending on certain settings (like adding the server to intranet zone), i can get the new tab to say nothing or "Blank Page".
i've tried adding the server to the safe zones, i've played with some tabs settings, i enabled the "run active x" options...
finally i reset all settings of IE to their defaults. i still can't figure out what i'm missing. if i copy the url to another browser the export works fine, as expected. on another machine i found this "rsclientprint 2008" addon so i downloaded
that but i still got nothing.
on a working machine, when i click the export button, a new tab opens with the name of the reporting server in it, it thinks a bit, then that tab closes and i get the "open or save" message in the original tab. on the one that's not working, it
opens the new tab, DOESN'T show the server name and that's the end of it. so it seems like it can't connect to the server on the export function. (but report creation works just fine)
anyone know of anything glaring that i'm missing??
~if this were /. this sig would be funny

good call - i'll try that now.
the app i had installed before was Classic Shell so that Windows Explorer's (win7) left hand pane doesn't jump around on you when you double click.
i just completely uninstalled the application and rebooted. still nothing.
going to do a repair while classic shell is uninstalled. brblol
UPDATE:
so i couldn't run the IE installer (per MS suggestions) because i have a newer version. so i tried the fixer that i found here:
http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/ie_performance_and_safety
and it found the following "errors":
Issues found
Data Execution Prevention disabled

after fixing, the problem still exists!

Raw files exporting in JPG coming out too low resoltion?

I am somewhat new to using a mac/aperture vs. PS/PC . I have uploaded and edited my photos in RAW. I am having trouble with the program downscaling my photos too much. I have changed the preset to high quality JPEG and the quality up to 12. But, for instance, my file size in RAW (22.65 MB) is scaling itself down to 684KB(JPEG) when i try to export or burn it to disk. I am great with a camera, but lacking in computer skills!, so I apologize if this doesn't make complete sense or if i'm missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

How are you exporting? Dragging from the browser or using File > Export > Version?
If you're using the export function, what is your export preset?

Export function is not working.

Hello gurus,
I am using the export function and I am unable to download the tsv file.
We have 2 development instances (both R12) and it works on one of them but not the other.
The file I am trying to export is under OM\Quick Order Organizer\Holds Information tab\Hold Sources button. Menu: File, Export
At the decision dialog, select Continue to End then the exporting data form pops up for a split second and goes away with no export tsv file created.
Can someone help me with this. Thank you!

Thumbnail/Quick Preview/Export have strange grey overlay

I spent quite some time googling this issue, so it's starting to seem like a "just me" issue. Yet I can't find a way to solve it, so here I go asking for help.
I have a library with a single project and a series of photos in it. Most photos have a crop, white balance, exposure, sharpen and curve global adjustments, as well as areas with definition brush strokes and dodge brush strokes. The dodge brush was used to make the "almost white" background around product in the shot completely white.
The thumbnails display a light grey (around 250;250;250 RGB, although it varies a bit) blotchy overlay in the areas of the image that are expected to be white. When I click on a thumbnail to bring up the larger image into view, for the first few seconds, while the "loading" spinner is visible on top, the grey overlay can also be seen on the enlarged image. After loading is finished, it disappears. If I turn on the Quick Preview mode, the grey overlay persists and does not go away. Images that I have viewed enlarged with Quick Preview turned off continue to display correctly when I come back to them after looking at other images, as if they are cached in memory. After I view a few dozen images, though, these correct versions seem to be evicted from cache, and I get the grey overlay during the "loading" period again.
The grey overlay does not correspond one-to-one with the area where brush strokes have been applied.
The scariest part of it all is that when I try to export versions, they are exported with the grey overlay intact.
I have tried rebuilding thumbnails, reprocessing masters, repairing permissions, repairing the database. The problem persists. I have tried disabling the dodge adjustment but unchecking it and then checking it again. The problem persists. I have tried removing the dodge adjustment and then brushing it on from scratch. The problem persists.
Out of ideas now. Please help. I would love to attach screenshots, but don't see an option to do so.

All you are seeing is the difference between the fully-decoded image created on the fly by applying the adjustments saved as instructions in the Version text file to the Master image file, and the Preview created according to the parameters you set in Preferences.
If the Previews don't meet your needs, try a higher quality/larger dimensions.
Likewise for your exports.
What are your Preview and Export settings?
Take a look at the highlighted section

PE4 File Export giving wrong field order

In PE4, when I execute File-Export with the following settings:
General/File Type: Microsoft DV AVI
Video/Compressor: DV PAL
Keyframe and Rendering/Fields: Upper Field First
It creates the AVI OK, but GSPOT shows that the AVI is Lower Field First, not Upper Field First as specified in the settings.
Why? Is this a bug or does selecting DV force LFF (if so, then why isn't the UFF option greyed out in the settings?).
What I am trying to do is create some smaller sub-projects in the form of AVI's, which I will eventually import into a final large project. The source files for the subprojects are mpgs from an HD camcorder, so they are Upper Field First (UFF), and so I am using the PAL Harddisk project preset, which expects source files to be UFF.
Since my final project will include both UFF mpgs and those AVI subprojects, I want the AVIs to be UFF also, so that I don't have to selectively reverse field orders etc.
Is this wrong?
Thanks
Dave

==> "You can even use Premiere Elements for the conversion by applying field order reversal and then exporting to DV-AVI."
Splitting hairs I know, but again to clarify for me:
For the initial conversion to DV-AVI, if I start a project in PE4 with a UFF preset, bring in my UFF mpgs, then export to DV-AVI (WITHOUT applying field order reversal), is this doing the same as what you suggest? That is, in this case, the field reversal is taken care of by PE4 behind the scenes because I told it to do so by using a UFF preset? Or do I still need to manually reverse the fields?
Sorry to be dense, but there seems to be many ways to do the same thing, and I'm trying to figure out the simplest and least error prone way to do it.

Help! I'm going crazy with the Export function!

I've spent all day googling and trying different methods but I keep having issue with the Export to Movie function in CS3. I have a short 2-minute long movie made of several video clips, cross dissolve transitions, and an mp3 for background music. Everytime I try to export it through File/Export/Movie, it fails with the "Error compiling video...". This happens to many formats available (Microsoft AVI, Microsoft DV AVI, Quicktime, etc.). The weird thing is that I was able to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I tried several file formats this way sucessfully with the same project. I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and it's doing the same thing. I'd really appreciate any advice to help me solve this problem.

Please provide
these details to help us help you.
Cheers
