Final cut export high quality

I'd like to know what are the best compressions to export a full hd file from final cut pro,
for these cases:
1) best quality full hd ( but not completely uncompressed or too heavy) to show the video to clients on my computer.
2) best compromise quality/weight to put the video in my website. Do you suggest full hd or smaller?
Thanks a lot to everyone

I agree if you suggest h264 to have a good quality to display the video with Quicktime or Vlc. But unfortunately on other players ( pc ) these files have often many problems. For example my file 16.9 h264 that are well displayed in Quicktime in other players goes 4:3...
I'd like to have a really good qualitu file that I can give to anyone without any suggest to play it correctly.
Hmm
Also, for internet I'd like to have a file that anyone can see without downloading anything.
To see a Quicktime h264 video people need to have quicktime.
So I was thinking about flv files..

Final Cut export quality

I exported a video segment with animated text out of motion and the quality was almost perfect. When I brought that motion project into final cut and export from there, the quality of text looks terrible-jagged and blurry. The export settings of my sequence in final cut were:
Keep current settings
Make self-contained movie
There is no compression in the sequence settings within final cut.
Does anyone know how to get a better quality export out of final cut?

Make sure your Motion project was the same setting as your sequence in FCP.. all DV or HDV or whatever...
Might post what format you're working in...

Export to quicktime from final cut producing bad quality audio

Hello
In exporting out quicktimes form the timeline in final cut I'm experiencing bad quality audio. Its almost like a fussing or noise in the background. I have tried to export the same quicktimes from a new sequence and only after a couple of attempts managed to get a quicktime with clear audio. I found the only way around this is to export out the audio as a separate aiff file which produces a clear audio file. This is not ideal as it creates more work when in a rush.
Anyone have any ideas how to rectify this?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
thanks in adavence

The sound is perfect in fcp.
I originally export from fcp using export quicktime movie, thats what causes the problem, which is why I had to resort to exporting the audio file as a separate file to the quicktime as an aiff which solves the problem. But it seem sa shame to have to export the picture and audio separately then use quicktime to marry the 2 together , then to re-export just so you cant have the files as one movie.
I just dont get what its doing.
Thanks for taking a look. I apprechiate it.

App to capture high quality video; clip; bulk export high quality?

Our students capture long videos in a high quality format (.DV), then often want to define clips within the movie, and hand them off to Compressor for compression. Unfortunatly, with the changes in Final Cut Pro X, we can find no viable way of doing that, and we've searched for hours in the app and online. The closet we found was to export stems out of the FCPX timeline using Roles:
http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/export-stems-out-of-your-final-cut-pro-x-timelin e-using-roles/
For simply wanting to define multple clips (no combining of clips involved), this is rather tedious, but moreso, when we use this technique, indeed only the video and audio of the clips we hand off to Compressor is seen and heard, but we end up with video black on both sides of the clip, which greatly lengthens the processing time, not to mention that we then need to trim the dead air afterwards.
We tried using iMovie 11, but unlike one or more previous versions, it is no longer possible to export multiple clips.
We've downloaded Adobe Premiere, and will be testing this.
Is there an OS X app that can capture high quality (.DV?) video/audio, make clips, then bulk export to .DV on disk, that doesn't cost over $500?

Thank you, I'm exporting to DV now to try that out.
I was choppy at my explanation, so let me go a little further. Maybe I do just use a DVD player to play this - but, let me explain further - maybe I'm not doing something right in creating the DVD.
I 'shared' from iMovie to iDvd - and burnt right to a DVD. Again, the movie was shaky on the computer. We played it on a DVD player, still a little shaky.. but not near as noticable - it looked pretty good. BUT - this is when the dvd stopped. I hit play, and it picked up right where it left off. I also was skipping through chapters, and it stopped all of the sudden. I had to go back to the main menu to start over. This was all done on a dvd player. Eventually, we played the rest of the video and it went ok. But, something tells me there might be a glitch in the DVD I created.... ?
Someone mentioned they had problems when exporting/burning right to dvd from iMovieHD. They said they exported out, then dragged the file into iDVD.. is that an option - if so, how would I go about doing that?

Final Cut Express 4 Quality

I'm working on an animated series using Anime Studio software to create each scene. When I export each scene to a Quicktime .mov file, the quality is crisp and perfect. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to maintain the quality when I use Final Cut Express 4 to edit the complete project. In Anime Studio, I have my file settings on HDTV 1080p, Quicktime H264 at 24 frames best quality.
Is there a way to maintain the quality of the movies in Final Cut Express? I like using FCE to synch up the Logic audio files to get a good audio quality (the animation software doesn't have great audio). I've been reviewing the user manual but it doesn't seem to address this issue.
Any help you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. I really want the project to look and sound perfect as I will be pitching my animated series to production companies.
I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8

Here's an example of a video I edited in FCE. It looks OK on a small screen, but I want to know how to get the best quality possible even if I need to get different software. Thanks.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but FCE probably isn't the right tool for you to use. FCE only works natively with 2 codecs: Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) and QuickTime DV. All other formats must be converted prior to importing into an FCE project. FCP might be a better choice since it works with many more codecs/formats, including just about every broadcast format out there.
In addition to that, H.264 (the format you're exporting from Anime Studio) is really designed to be a final delivery format - not intended for editing. Also, it is a very highly compressed format (albeit a fairly effecient one).
And finally, this is the Final Cut Studio forum. The Final Cut Express forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_expr ess_hd?view=discussions

Warning: Sometimes Final Cut exports a non-drop sequence as drop-frame

Just a heads up. This has been maddening for me. On occasion I will export my program for compressor and it will be drop frame when it should be non-drop.
These are sequences which have exported fine before. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Tonight I've lost about 2 hours because of this. At least I knew to check it before compressing the file and sending it out to our contractor because it has happened in the past.
By the way shutting down FCP and opening it up again seems to cure the problem.

Final Cut Exporting to DVD Settings Help!

Hello, all. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem that I have been struggling with for weeks.
I shot a video project in standard definition on a Sony VX2000, then edited it in Final Cut Express. I am now wondering what the best export settings would be in order to put it onto a DVD, and maintain the quality at 100 percent. I've tried exporting it in several different ways, but no matter what I do, the quality is never as good as it was shot.
So, what should the export settings be from Final Cut? And do you think I need to use a different software to maintain perfect quality on a DVD?
Thanks so much

Final Cut Export DVCPRO HD720p uncompressed/hi-res for tape and projection

Well I've been through the many suggestions found throughout the forum and have tried many combinations of exporting options, timeline options and codecs and still for the life of me can't find the one that works. Please offer any advice you can.
Objective:
Export a 30 minute film with a DVCPro HD 720p60 timeline shot in 720p 23.98fps as uncompressed and as high resolution as possible for transfer to a Beta-SP for big screen projection.
In trying the Uncompressed 8 and 10 bit exports the film's video became jumpy and some color's over saturated to the point of pixelation (is that a word?). I've created new Uncompressed timelines and exported from there as well to the same over saturated/pixel effect.
Is just an export of a Quicktime movie with current settings and then use compressor with "DVDPRO HD 720p60" my best options? I've tried that too but not happy with the softness of some of it and as we're projecting BIG, I want to have the best resolution possible.
Oh - and this time - size does NOT matter.
Thanks for any pointers.

What I mean is - how to create then a Quicktime someone without Final Cut can play. Exporting as a self-contained Quicktime movie does not seem to creat the stand alone file I may need. Any tips?

Final Cut Export XML: Command-line option

Is there a way to use a command-line function to automatically export the XML for a Final Cut (.fcp) file ? We need to see the clips that make up a .fcp file, and do reporting. Since we have thousands of these files, we need to automatically create the XML files without opening each file automatically.

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
Import your footage into Premiere Pro
Name your clips (helps find things later on)
Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do. You will notice you have no errors on the export.
Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
Anyways...
I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
I am losing my mind over this.
I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

What Image Export Preset settings are you using? (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format. If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12"). Make sure size is set to "Original Size". "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.

Exporting High Quality Flash to Quicktime for use in FCP4.5

I am currently working on a interactive DVD production
including various Flash animations. I've tried exporting them as
almost every possible combination of compressions I could think of
using. Every time I import any clip (although seeming smooth in
previews or as stand alone clips...in both flash and quicktime
formats), they always seem to be choppy once imported into Final
Cut Pro 4.5, DVD Studiio Pro , or Motion !!! .
If anyone could give me some advice on what would be the best
compression to use within Flash's export functions , to then be
able to use within FCP 4.5 .... it would be very appreciated ! This
is tormenting me right now !!!!
Thx

You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

Can't open a video file after Final cut export

Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
I've FCP 7 on Lion.
I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
I've got a .MOV file.
After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
End of the story.
Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
There is only a STOP button.
If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
(I'm translating the message from my french system)
So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
Any cue ?
Thanks !
Jean do

Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

Final Cut exports only 720x486 (640x480) when needing just 720x486

We are having issues with exporting from Final Cut or Quicktime.
We are uploading thru digital delivery. This is what we need:
Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
Codec: AVID IMX or APPLE IMX
Bit Rate: 50 Mbs
Aspect Ratio: 720x486 (1.481)
Frame Rate: 29.97
Audio Channels: 2 (or more)
We getting this error:
"The received file was:
Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
Codec: Apple IMX
Bit Rate: 51628048
Width: 720
Height: 486
Aspect Ratio: 1.347
Frame Rate: 29.970
Audio Channels: 2"
The file info on quicktime is 720x486 (640x480), but previously we were able to export files from FC that were just 720x486.
This is what we are exporting now... using exactly the same settings....
This is a file done a few months ago:

Is there something wrong with the way the video plays? There shouldn't be as the "(640x480)" is just telling you the square pixel equivilent of your 720x480 4:3 file.

Final Cut Export Issue

I recently cut together a video on final cut x (version 10.0). When I select the Export Video option under the share tab, absolutely nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Version 10.0 of FCPX is not compatible with Mavericks. You need to upgrade FCPX to version 10.1.1 which is the latest.

Exporting high quality still images?

Is it possible to export a high quality still image from video? I have used the export using qt conversion, exported it as a photoshop document and when I bring that doc into photoshop the image quality is poor at 300 dpi. It comes in at 10 inches X 6.67 inches at 72 dpi, but when I make it 300 dpi the image size is only 2.4 inches by 1.6 (this, of course, is when I turn off "resample image")
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

Is it possible to export a high quality still image from video?< </div>
Yes and no. it is no better than your video camera shot it. Generally, for conventional DV, that's roughly 500x800 pixels at a shutter speed of 1/30th second. HD formats and special frame rates, of course, produce other still images.
720x486 at 72 DPI.< </div>
I beg to quibble, or at least to be a pedant. The 72dpi is an artificial construct imposed by Photoshop. There is no dpi or lpi in video. You only get the raw pixels. You can make the pixels bigger by scaling up or you can throw some away by scaling down but, without additional work like resampling or applying a tool like Genuine Fractals, you cannot get any more pixels.
