File type options to add to video track

I am creating custom videos for my client. They want us to put a 30-second commercial of their product at the beginning of the video. What file types can I use. Im thinking I would simply load the file onto the track in front of the video.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I use Final Cutes Express 3.5.1

Hi(Bonjour)!
It's better to use a movie compressed in a codec handled natively by FCE to avoid rendering.
Try (for video) DVCPRO 25 NTSC or PAL (to match your sequence), (for audio) AIFF linear PCM 48 kHz 16 bit for standard def, or Apple Intermediate codec (frame size that match your sequence settings) at 29.97 fps.
If your client provides the movie, he has to use one of those codec to compress into quicktime movie and burn it on a data DVD.
Or he could use any uncompressed format like quicktime animation (if his clip is generated by computer animation software).
Avoid any video DVD as their content (video and audio) are muxed in MPEG2 format (a heavily compressed format).

  • My mac says that it has 40 gb of movies on it but when i finder search for file size, and for file type it gives me no videos

    My mac says that it has 40 gb of movies on it but when i finder search for file size, and for file type it gives me no videos or movies. I have called apple 3 times and each time they do the same thing and then do something that takes awhile to finish so we hang up and then it never works.
    Please Help

    each time they do the same thing
    And what thing might that be?

  • Can customize sequence of file type options while clicking export icon?

    In our project, we are using Vs.net2008 + CrystalReport2008 component.
    But there's an issue while export reports. We are using the standard CrystalReportViewer and show the "export report" icon on the toolbar. When user clicks that icon, it pop-ups the Export Report dialog for save to a file.
    But our customers wish to see the "PDF(.pdf)" at the default file type option not the "(Crystal Reports (.rpt)".
    Is that possible to configure inside CrystalReportViewer?

    Only option is to create your own export button and display then in the order you wish and which export types you want to support etc...
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to set the aspect ratio or file type in the camera for video settings?

    I always convert my .MOV videos to WMV so I can upload to my web site.  However, with my new iPhone (iOS7), the vidoes are distorted due to aspect ratio issues.  I'd like to set the output aspect ratio and.or file type when I create a new video on my iPhone 5s.

    There is no user setting for this in the native iOS app. It is possible that if you use some other 3rd party app you can make some changes to that, but I'm not sure. There are also no settings for changing the file type on the phone itself.
    I've not experienced any issues with distortion on mine, but it could be your converter. Have you tried another one?

  • What file type needed to add behavior?

    I have a logo created in Photoshop (I have the illustrator file as well), and I'm trying to animate it in Motion. However, when I add a behavior to the PSD file, nothing happens. What file types can be animated using behaviors in Motion?
    Katie
    PS-I know I could animate it using keyframes, but I'm looking to use the behaviors.

    Euro spelling. It's the only thing people find interesting about Canadians.
    No reason you can't put a Spin on a psd. Make sure you've assigned a spin rate to it. Look in the Inspector, click the BehavioUrs tab, and dial in a spin rate. See if that works. For Wriggle, make sure you apply to Properties (X,Y,Z, or combo of).

  • Photosmart C5580: PDF File type option has disappeared from Scan Shortcut Settings under Documents

    For 6 years I have used PDF as the file type for scanning documents.  Yesterday it switched to TIFF.  This creates files of ~8.5 MB per scanned page.
    The PDF option does no longer show in the dropdown menu.  Remaining options are:
    Bitmap, TIFF, TIFF Compressed, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX and FlashPix.
    How do I get PDF back on the list.
    I run Vista Home Premium

    Hi @vliegendeboer ,
    I see that you are having issues with the PDF option missing from the scanning software. I would like to help.
    In the HP Solution Center Software, select the option to change settings, select Save to File Save Options, on the File Type, try and select PDF and press OK. I don't have the exact Version 12 software you are using to go by, but the steps should be similiar.
    If you are still not able to select PDF ,download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    If there was any updates recently done on the computer, you can restore your computer back to before everything was working properly. How To Use System Restore in Windows Vista.
    If you are still having issues, the software might have become corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • What music files types can you add to itunes?

    I download alot of different music files types.  I just want to know what music files I can add to itunes.

    John Lockwood wrote:
    Apple Lossless works on the majority of the worlds portable music players which of course are Apple devices
    Apple Lossless works not only in iTunes on both Mac and Windows but also can work in dbPowerAmp, WinAmp, Foobar2000, VLC, XBMC aka. Kodi, and even Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. (Yes I am aware FLAC also works in all of those except iTunes.)
    Apple Lossless is free open-source code like FLAC, but arguably less likely to be subject to a random Patent Troll attack as it is backed by the might of Apple's lawyers.
    Apple Lossless is identical quality to FLAC.
    You can of course convert between FLAC and Apple Lossless and back again with zero loss of quality.
    My point with all of the above, is that there is no need to be so hung up about FLAC anymore.
    (Full disclosure for our readers:  My colleague John and I have this same conversation every once in a while.)
    John - You are exaggerating the degree to which ALAC is accepted outside of Apple.
    Although Winamp and WMP can be modified to play ALAC, the normal unhacked versions that most of us have cannot.
    Yes of course you can convert between ALAC and FLAC with no loss of quality.  That is what lossless means. 
    In lossless music retailing, FLAC is very common.  ALAC is rarely seen.  Even Apple's own iTunes Store does not sell songs in ALAC format.

  • Using Win 7, I cannot utilize the "Folder Options" "File Types" utility to add/change file properties

    I am trying to use a batch file that worked perfectly on my WinXP system to create "shntool.txt" reports of my music files - usually .flac, and sometimes .shn - listing file time duration, size, etc.
    When I try to copy the batch files onto my WinXP system, I get all sorts of error reports that prohibit me from generating those text files. This is an example of such a batch file ("shntool-flac.bat) that always worked in the past.
    "cls
    shntool len *.flac > C:\Burning\shntool.txt
    :: cmg 4/18/2001
    :: the syntax above uses the new parameter style,
    :: previous ver was "shntool len -u mb *.shn".
    :: alternately, you may use other params,
    :: such as "shntool -len -mb -debug *.shn" for more info.
    :: see "shntool -len -h" for specific help on the '-len' params.
    pause
    exit"
    The error message includes "shntool: fork: No such file or directory
    shntool [len: error: error while forking child process. see above"
    I downloaded "FileTypesMan" which allowed me to make some changes in the file menus (e.g., "Enqueue in Winamp, Play in Winamp," but I CAN'T get "shntool-flace.bat" and "shnlen-flac.bat" to work for the reasons list
    above.
    I would be grateful for any assistance here. Thanks in advance.
    Because I am new to this forum, please re-direct my question if this isn't the proper forum.

    kglad,
    Thanks for the suggestion but I have attempted this many times to no avail. As I said in my original post, "I have researched this problem on this forum and the Adobe site and believe that I have tried everything over the past week."
    It is very late here (I am in Greece). I will have a further attempt in the morning. The windows machine is hut down. Thanks for your help.

  • Saving for web does not give me a file type option

    I have been using Illustrator for a while and used Save for Web a lot where it would default as a jpeg now all of a sudden it is default save as type images only and saves the file as png??

    traceye,
    This may call for a reinstallation the full three step way:
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Can Save and Save As dialog boxes be modified to show fewer file type options in CS3?

    I'm looking to simplify the choices for the Save and Save As commands to the just the formats that I use on a regular basis to make some repetitive file processing tasks go faster. Is this possible?
    Thanks for your help.

    Scripting can save to Folders relative to the File’s location or to absolute Folder-paths, so that may be beneficial in Your case.
    Scripting can also amend the name a File is saved as, one could even number copies progressively.
    It’s naturally easiest (to create, at least) to make one Script per file-format/target-location/name-change, because otherwise creating a dialog is necessary.
    The thing I have to admit here, though, is that it would probably take a little time to grasp the matter (JavaScript specifically) – so if You should be under time-pressure already it may not be very useful in the short run.

  • How to add video track below v1 ?

    Hi all experts,
    It is driving me nuts figuring out these.
    I have a reasonable big project file in the sense that there are many pictures & videos stack on top of each other.
    Now I want to add a video track to the most bottom layer (ie below track v1). How do I do that ? When I dis a right click to "Add track", it automatically adds track to the top !!
    At the moment I have to select everything & move up so that I have a clear track at the very most bottom. In so doing, I sometimes missed out some clips & it got messed up.
    It would be good if there is a way to add track below v1.
    Any ideas ?
    Thank you
    Cheers

    Thanks Tom,
    This saves me lots of tedious work !!
    Cheers

  • Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

    I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
    Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
    - QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
    So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
    First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
    All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one.  iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
    Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
    All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
    Anyone else see similar behavior?  Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

    I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

  • I want to edit the application associated with pdf files, but the pdf file type is not available on the Applications tab under edit preferences. How do I add file types?

    I am running Firefox 5.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) under Kubuntu 11.04.

    Thanks jscher2000, I tried your suggestion, but no joy (as expected). None of the extensions were .bin, and in fact, I can't find a single listing for handling the .bin extension in the entire (unfiltered) list.
    That's why I'm so confused. Where is Firefox getting the name "VLC.bin (default)" from in the first place?
    cor-el, I checked out the link that you posted.
    I don't have an entry for "browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes" and the entry "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" was empty (default setting).
    My bad, but I forgot to mention in my first post that I had also tried renaming the mimetypes.rdf file in my "Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default\" to .old to no avail.
    Firefox created a new, almost empty file, but it didn't change the behavior for .bin files. I removed the new file and put the old file back in place after determining that clearing the file did not help, since I am otherwise happy with my current file-type options.
    However, since the option to "Always perform this action" is grayed-out, I am looking into the possibility that the website is sending a misconfigured MIME type or is assigning "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the download. What's odd, though, is that I've never had problems getting binary files from the site in the past, and the problem started when the VLC player was installed.
    I'll post back after I check into the server header data.

  • File Type Filter: No video filetypes?

    I upgraded from LR2 to LR3 as soon as they emailed beta testers telling us it was available.
    When in beta I never really played with the video functionality - I wish I did so I could give feedback earlier - I am quite dissapointed in video support.
    None of my videos will play within lightroom itself (like their demo videos show) - it always opens them in Quicktime. Video files are from a 5D MKII and I am on a Mac running 10.6.
    I could live with that - but honestly the file type filter doesn’t display video filetypes? This means I can't create a smart collection based on filetype to see all my videos. What gives? I thought it would at least do that.
    I have resorted to adding a "video" keyword to all of my video files - but has anyone else noticed this oversight?

    The videos have never played within LR, only within the defalt video player for that file type.
    There is a video selection in the file type filter.  Don't know why you haven't seen it.

  • Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

    hello,
    i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files.  when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks.  my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif.  the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks.  can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
    kind regards,
    charlie

    If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
    If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.
