File sizes increase steadily when exporting to Quicktime movies

I have a series of short (90 seconds or so) little segments in a sequence that are very similar to each other that I've just created one after another in the timeline. There are about 50 of these. They are each made up of still frames (a .PSD Photoshop graphic), overlayed text (Premiere text) and audio - no video. As I create each little segment, I'm exporting them to a Quicktime movie (H.264, 50% compression) and the Range set to Work Area Bar to control what gets exported. Although the resulting Quicktime movies play just fine, the problem is that as I get further and further down the timeline creating these movies the resulting Quicktime movie files get larger and larger. The first movie is around 12MB, the second around 16MB, the third around 21MB, and so on until the 50th one is over 400MB. Again, the movies play just fine, but there's no reason I can see that the 50th one is so gigantic (over 400MB in size) compared to the first one (at around 12MB).
This is a Windows XP Pro machine with 4GB RAM using Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0.

Silly question:
Are you sliding the Work Area Bar down the timeline to cover the new segments, or are you just extending it?

    Please help me!
    Thanks Gabriel

    I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
    1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
    2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
    3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
    Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%

  • Sound drop out when exporting to Quicktime movie.

    One track of three sound tracks drops out after a few seconds then reappears a few seconds later when exporting to QT Movie. The project functions perfectly when printing to video. Am using QT 7.1.3 FCE HD 3

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Try to make an "audio-mixdown" of your final sequence
    in timeline.
    Michel Boissonneault
    Thanks for the info. I managed to overcome the problem initially by copying onto miniDV then re-capturing and exporting the result., but Mix Down is much nicer.
    However, prior to upgrading to FCE-HD, I am fairly certain I have made more complex projects with no problems. Now quite frequently I get a message suggesting I reduce the number of RT tracks, or increase the speed of my computer. Is there something in FCE HD that requires these modifications, or have I a rogue project.
    Does anyone know what is the actual difference between High Medium & Low qualities with Audio & Video?
    Thanks

  • Black frame in embedded quicktime movies in Keynote when exporting to quicktime movie

    I've included some quicktime movies made in Photoshop in my Keynote presentation. When viewing the Keynote presentation from within keynote, the movie play perfectly. However when I export the presentation to a Quicktime move, the first or last frame of the embedded movie is black creating a flicker effect on play.
    The quicktime movies have been embedded as loopable animations using the animation build in function 'Start movie' (after transition with 0 delay).
    Is there a setting that will prevent the black frame on export or is this a bug?

  • What is the av-1 file that is created when I make Quicktime Movies from FCP

    I have just experienced the -av1 phenomena for the first time.
    I have been exporting to QT movies regularly using the same internal and external drives for months - no changes, no incorrect formatting. I have used those exported movies to create One-Step DVDs in iDVD for display and distribution. This -av1 file thing is keeping me from doing that.
    The only diff with this project (and, in fact, it's a new Sequence in a Project that has successfully been exported (without the companion file)) is that this sequence had .aiff music files some of which were from iTunes (downloaded/protected).
    I thought that might be the problem, so I created mp3s (by burning to disk and re-importing) and replaced the aiff's in the timeline - it still insisted on creating -av1 files with the QT Movie.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It means that the drive that you are saving these to is formatted FAT32 and has a file size limit of 2GB. Check the file sizes and see.
    If the drive was formatted MacOS Extended you won't see this issue.

  • Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

    I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

    Thank you so much for replying.
    I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
    I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
    I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
    My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
    I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
    Let me know any suggestions.
    Thank you

  • Font changes when exporting as Quicktime movie

    Recently my the font in all my titles has been acting up when after I export to a Quicktime movie. The font that I chose will appear for a few seconds, then it will switch to some default Times New Roman or whatever font for no reason. I'm working with HDV footage. The sequence settings and project settings are all the same and when I export I just use current settings. Even odder is I've been working with this project for months (I did recently reinstall the OS and FC studio, but I'm pretty sure all settings are the same. Any ideas?

    I've had the same problem, my font kept on blowing up when ever I exported. I found it happened whenever I had DVD Studio Pro open at the same time. As long as I exported with the ap closed it would be fine. Not sure if it's the same issue.

  • File size or resolution when exporting to PDF file.

    Post Author: Esio Nunes
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Hello,
    I'm using the following code to export my reports to PDF format, by an ASP.NET page:
    CType(crReportClientDoc, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument).PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF)
    But I need to produce files with sizes lower than now. Making some tests in Adobe, I note if I reduce the pdf resolution, the files became with a reduced size. Does anyone know if is it possible to configure the resolution when generating PDF files by Crystal? I looked to ExportEx method and PDFExportFormatOptionsClass, but I didn't find any about it.
    Thanks to all

    Nope. Crystal uses an old version of pdf (1.x I believe) for backward compatibility reasons.
    There is no way to reduce the size of the pdf that you export other than changing what is on the report itself.

  • Build/Transition times off when exported to Quicktime

    I have four Keynote presentations I have built, each of which has several Quicktime movies placed on multiple slides (not the same movie multiple times). I then have Keynote text and shape objects "interacting" with the movies as they play. In Keynote, I have set my build and transition times to perfectly match the content of the Quicktime movies.
    Example: I have a movie that was captured from my screen wherein I select various menu items. In Keynote, as the various menu items are selected in the movie, I have Keynote text and arrows pointing to the relevant areas of the movies. "Click File...", "...then Save As..." etc. Looks great when presented in Keynote.
    When exported to Quicktime (full size, high quality, Sorensen Video 3) the timing gets worse as the movie progresses, to the point that at the end some of my timings are off by almost 10 seconds or more!
    Any ideas why this happens? The export to Quicktime is happing on a dual-processor 2.7GHz G5 with 4GB RAM... should be more than adequate!
    Robert

    Cheers for that, Kyn. Funny, I spent about two hours reading through page-by-page all the forum topics to see what issues people were coming acorss BEFORE I posted. Don't know how I missed this one though! Guess I should try searching next time.
    Thanks,

  • Audio doesn't work when exporting to Quicktime

    Hi there.
    I've imported a FLV file with audio into a Flash file. When
    previewed as a swf, the audio works, but when exported to
    "Quicktime Video" (not the "Quicktime" setting) the audio doesn't
    play.
    I've double checked my Quicktime settings (ie the audio isn't
    Disabled, and i've tried Animation, Video, None and MPEG-4
    compression) but the audio still doesn't play.
    The weird thing is, if i have a Quicktime movie playing in
    Quicktime and then open my Quicktime Video file from Flash then the
    audio in the first Quicktime cuts out.
    Also in Quicktime the info on the Quicktime Video from flash
    says it has a Audio Track with the settings I exported it out as,
    but I'm still not getting any audio.
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks in advance

    Anyone?
    or is my question not making sense?
    Thanks in advance

  • Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

    Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
    Given:
    1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
    2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
    3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
    4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
    5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
    6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
    7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
    8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
    9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

    Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
    I love this forum...thank you again!

  • Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

    Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
    This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
    Any Ideas!!!????

  • Audio Sync Issue When Exporting to Quicktime

    Currently using Premiere Pro CS3 3.2 and Quicktime 7.5.5
    When I export to a quicktime .mov, my audio is a few frames out of sync. I've tried downgrading to older versions of quicktime with no success. Everything is completely in sync inside Premiere. If I import my rendered out-of-sync .mov back into Premiere, it magically syncs up fine again. It's the weirdest thing.
    Help!

    Scott:
    There is a workaround.
    I never really found a solid cause/solution, but if you're noticing that you have a couple of white frames at the end of your Quicktime exports, then you're probably suffering the same problem I have. Tech people I have checked with have suggested that the problem may be related to the use of .mp3 sound files (as opposed to .wav) in the Premiere project, but after removing them and replacing them with .wav's the problem persisted.
    I am not technical enough to figure out exactly what's causing the problem, but I think it must have something to do with the Adobe Media Encoder (at least how it works on my computer). From what I've read on the subject, the Media Encoder is Premiere's Achilles's Heel.
    Changing versions of Quicktime did nothing. Others trying to solve this problem have tried exporting their files with every conceivable variation of options and settings in the Adobe Media Encoder with no positive result.
    I'm not the only one with this issue, but searches of the Internet show it to be relatively rare, so it's probably some weird glitch somewhere deep in my system. It's not widely-reported enough for anyone to care about addressing this bug. Of the few people that I've found suffering from this anomaly, none have found a fix.
    But the good news is that I have found a workaround that accomplishes getting a quicktime file out properly that does work for me. I avoid the Adobe Media Encoder completely.
    Step 1: Go to File > Export > Movie, and under Settings > General choose QuickTime, under Video > Compressor choose H.264, then Uncompressed Audio. I have not experimented with other settings, but believe that most of them will do just fine.
    If you examine the quicktime file you've just exported, you'll see it works just swell; i.e. no white frames at the end of the movie and the sound syncs up perfectly. Okay, sounds great---but there's no way to limit the data rate using this method, which means we're stuck with a ridiculously large file.
    The solution is to load the Quicktime file that you've just exported into Quicktime Pro, and now export it using data rate compression / sound compression options to suit your tastes. Bingo!
    The other workaround that I have heard from some is to export your movie (again, avoiding the Adobe Media Encoder, instead using File > Export > Movie) as an Uncompressed AVI, and then compress with QT pro as before. This method didn't work for me, something about not having the proper codec on my system to read the AVI file that was exported, which makes absolutely zero sense but I couldn't find the right codec anywhere, even after identifying it with some super-duper codec identification utility. Go figure!
    So, you'll have to get QT Pro ($30 I think) to use this workaround, but it does work, and that's what counts. I have no idea if there's a QT Pro clone or similar program available out there. Compression/decompression and all that jazz is way beyond me and I'm just happy to be able to get my file finally out there in working condition.
    The only other bit of information I might share with you is that I tried searching the Internet at great length to try and solve this issue, but on the rare occasion I did find someone suffering this problem they were as confounded and frustrated as I was, and no one had a real solution. I continued to search with different search terms and tripped over the clues to this solution when searching for "white frame problem" in relation to Premiere. I even believe that if you search the Abobe forums you may find some posts about it, so if you're inclined to learn more about it, I suggest concentrating your searches with terms that refer to the white frame problem/issue, instead of the terms I used for so long, such as "Premiere Audio Sync Quicktime" and the endless permutations thereof.
    But I'll bet this workaround works for you. Let me know, and if you'd like me to try it on one of your exports on my computer I'd be happy to give it a go.
    I have often wondered if upgrading to CS4 would solve this problem. Are you using CS3 like me? If I could be sure CS4 made this issue vanish I would jump on it, but there just isn't enough information out there to know for sure. I'm inclined to think not.
    Please do let me know if this solution works for you, or if you dig up any new information.
    Thanks!

  • Audio Drifting Out Of Synce when Exporting to Quicktime

    Using FCS2 and all material is HDV 1080i60 with audio 48k. Everything in my sequence plays and renders fine and is in sync. When I export to quicktime movie using current settings the sound goes slowly out of sync so that by the end of the project the sync is horrible and the actual project is short 11 or so frames??
    Any suggestions?? I have always done this in the past with no problems but since switching to FCS2 I have had nothing but problems when this comes up.

    I had a similar problem when I exported a 20 minute video to an .flv Playback looked and sounded fine but the .flv file direct out of Final Cut was out of sync with audio. I finally used the Render Manager under tools to remove all renders for that sequence and then just re-rendered in one shot. That export was clean. I had tried to break renders and re-render them but it didn't work, but the Render Manager seemed to fix what ever caused it. I haven't noticed again since on any other projects. Good Luck.
