H.264 export give useless files in Mavericks

When swapping to Mavericks (Os 10.9) the export/convert files, now gives unwanted big files.
A normal 1 hour dv-file, is about 12 GB, and converting it to H.264 normally compresses the size to about 10%.
When selecting Quicktime as the "first choice" and then H.264 (in both Effects and Encoder) the files work fine in QuickTime (QT10) for Mavericks, except that the files don't get compressed.
Chosing H.264 first, the files gets compressed, but are not readable by QT10.
This problem has been around for some years, but it's only now the problem is a real problem and there is no work around in Adobe.
It's possible to use other programs, like iSkysoft, but there all files have to be loaded manually, a complete waste of time...
(I have about 1.000 hours of sampled videos, now obsolete using Mavericks...)
It would be much easier to use Encoder, to just drop the files into different folders, for different conversions, and then let it all happen in the background.
So, is there any other having the same problem ? and/or is Adobe coming with an update ?

converting it to H.264 normally compresses the size to about 10%.
That depends entirely upon the bitrate. An H.264 file using the same bitrate as DV would be the same size as DV. Witness AVCHD.

Excel export gives csv file occasionally after multiple exports

Hi experts!!
I have the following problem.
After several exports to excel from the web UI the file format turns to csv, even though the user runs MS office 2007.
I found 2 notes describing the issue but these are for other releases and cannot be implemented.
(I am working on CRM 2007)
Any ideas????
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,
for investigating this problem a short introduction to the Excel-Export function is helpful.
On serverside JavaScript tailored for interaction with the current Table is generated. This code is invoked on the client machine and tries interfacing with Excel via ActiveX-Controls. In a third step the data is requested from the Application Server, this request is processed in the handler class CL_CHTMLB_CONFIG_TAB_EXCEL_EXP.
I guess that the problem is caused by the JavaScript code executed on the client machen. There is a fallback, if no ActiveX-Control could be initialized a csv-File is requested from the server.
I would try some JavaScript debugging, the function thtmlbExcelExport in library scripts.js would be a good entry point.

Exported blue ray files currupt

Premiere Pro CS5.5
Mac
For a 98min project:
I exported an m2v BluRay settings file from a 1080p ProRes Timeline and then tried a h.264 export and the files that come out are currupt and wont open?
Why is the file bloating all of the sudden? Is this a problem with Premiere or Encore? or is this a codec problem?
Thanks

It may just be the file size. It is 20 GB Blu ray file. It wont play in quicktime pro or VL it locks up.
When I try to drag it into Encore I just get the spin wheel.
Weird thing is I exported a h.264 5 min test, and I tried to preview it and it just locked up quickitme, finder preview, and VLC each time I tried it. Weird.
My system is
Mac
2.8 Ghz quad core intel
Memory 12 GB

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 cant export mov files to QT h.264: export failure

Hello,
I edited my project in Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and want to color correct it in Davinci Resolve Lite. I tried to export my mov files (shot on 60 D 1920x1080 25 fps) to QT h.264, so I can import them in Davinci. I have the same Problem when I want to export to uncompressed YUF 8bit.
The pc says something like: Failure during creating the file. Cant open or create the export file.
Is it a problem of the progamm? Is it impossible to export it in that codec ? Should I use another export codec ?
Greets Stefan

Hello,
Sry I didnt find any Premiere Elements in my selection, next time I post it directly here.
Im using a windows hp 7 64 bit, Adobe premiere elements 10, last version of Quick time and running an account with admin privilegs. I also opened the programm with admin power, just to see if anything happens, but still the same.
My camera films in 1920 x 1080 25p, so I guess its proogressive. For the audio I dont care if its 5.1 or mono, because my microphone is a mono microphone.
I made some pictures of my settings, sry all in german:

PBDOM : Exporting to XML file gives a single line

I've been starting developing with PowerBuilder 12.5 a few weeks ago. I had to write some XML files, so I got familiar with the PBDOM library.
I can build a lot of different things, it's very nice, but one thing still bothers me :
In the output file, the whole XML is written on a single line.
I use the SaveDocument function.
For example, here is some code :
PBDOM_Document doc
PBDOM_Element noderoot, node1, node11, node12
doc = CREATE PBDOM_Document
doc.NewDocument("NodeRoot")
noderoot = doc.GetRootElement()
node1 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node1.SetName("Node1")
noderoot.AddContent(node1)
node1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
node11 = CREATE PBDOM_Element
node11.SetName("Node11")
node11.AddContent("Here is a value")
node1.AddContent(node11)
node12 = CREATE PBDOM_ELEMENT
node12.SetName("Node12")
node12.AddContent("Here is another value")
node1.AddContent(node12)
doc.SaveDocument("myDoc.xml")
Here is the result when I open it with notepad++
<NodeRoot><Node1 Attr="AttrValue"><Node11>Here is a value</Node11><Node12>Here is another value</Node12></Node1></NodeRoot>
Whereas I wanted :
<NodeRoot> <Node1 Attr="AttrValue"> <Node11>Here is a value</Node11> <Node12>Here is another value</Node12> </Node1> </NodeRoot>
With the notepad++ XML tools plugin, I can use the "pretty print" function to get this nice representation. But I would like my file to be formatted this way from the beginning. I noticed that the "line ending" was set to UNIX format (indicator on bottom right of the window), but I'm working on Windows. When I use the menu to convert it to Windows format (CR+LF), it changes this indicator, but the code stays on one single line.
Is there a way to tell PBDOM to export the XML file with a nice output ?
Thank you !
Notes :
- Opening the XML file with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome gives me a nice vizualisation, with indentation, line breaks...
- Adding a <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> does not help (I've been doing it while exporting some more complex files, but I still get the output on one line...)

Here is a very simple powerbuilder example. It uses MSXML instead of PBDOM. See my comments for hints how to use it with PBDOM.
oleobject lole_dom, lole_root, lole_element1, lole_element11, lole_element12
oleobject lole_Writer, lole_saxreader
string ls_result
// build DOM (you don't need this if you use PBDOM)
lole_dom = create oleobject
lole_dom.ConnectToNewObject ("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
lole_root = lole_dom.CreateElement ("NodeRoot")
lole_dom.documentElement = lole_root
lole_element1 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node1")
lole_root.AppendChild(lole_element1)
lole_element1.SetAttribute("Attr", "AttrValue")
lole_element11 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node11")
lole_element11.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is a value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element11)
lole_element12 = lole_dom.CreateElement("Node12")
lole_element12.AppendChild (lole_dom.CreateTextNode("Here is another value"))
lole_element1.AppendChild(lole_element12)
// this saves the DOM without formatting
//lole_dom.save ("d:\testxml.xml")
// this part is for formating
lole_Writer = create oleobject
lole_saxreader = create oleobject
lole_Writer.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.MXXMLWriter")
lole_saxreader.ConnectToNewObject ("MSXML2.SAXXMLReader")
lole_Writer.omitXMLDeclaration = True
lole_Writer.indent = True
lole_saxreader.contentHandler = lole_Writer
// instead of DOM you can also put a XML string to parser: lole_saxreader.parse ("<node>...</node>")
// so you can also use the PBDOM output directly
lole_saxreader.parse (lole_dom)
// here is your formatted output
ls_Result = lole_Writer.output
MessageBox ("", ls_result)
lole_writer.Disconnectobject( )
lole_saxreader.Disconnectobject( )
lole_dom.Disconnectobject( )
DESTROY lole_writer

Best settings for highest quality for exporting a .mov file to h.264

Hi,
I want to know what the best settings are for the highest quality for exporting a .mov file (720p50) to h.264. I want the same quality as the original.
I want to know the data rate etc.
regards,
Jeroen
Message was edited by: Woudgraaf-AV

There is no way to get the exact same quality when transcoding from an editing source to a highly compressed H.264 QT. However, you can get a real high quality by adjusting the data rate.
However, these things depend on the length of the original. I routinely encode H.264s with good results in the 3000-5000 data rate range. I also make sure that I use multiple pass encoding. Take a short snippet of your project (10 seconds or so), and try various bit rates until you have one you like that doesn't take forever.

Best practice for exporting a .mov file for YouTube

I am using FCPX 10.0.9 with a MacBook Pro. We are needing to upload relatively small-size high school football videos as .mov files to YouTube for my newspaper. I have been choosing the Export File option with the setting set to h.264, exporting the file to the desktop and then uploading that .mov file to YouTube. (I do not have Compressor installed on this Mac.) The other night the first of three files done like this uploaded fine, but the next two just kept processing and processing at YouTube and never finished. The following morning the files processed fine. Any thoughts about why ths might be happening?
And would it be better to export in another file format --.mp4 files -- instead that might cause less of a problem and which of the export options would be best?
Thanks,
Douglas

Am I correctly uploading a .mov file to YouTube by using the Export File command with the export setting set to .h264 then if I wish a reasonable size file for upload?
Sure. There are many ways to get videos to YT and yours is a reasonable approach.
"Reasonable size" should be thought of in terms of upload time. Again, YT will re-compress whatever you give it. So depending on how quickly you need to get it up on the Web, it's better to upload files that have more information than less information. (To that end, some folks upload very large Pro Res files; they also have a lot of patience.)
Just to let you know, the majority of FCPX users follow one of two workflows:
1) Share>You Tube option and have FCP handle the uploading;
2) Export as a Pro Res Master File; bring the master file into Compressor and apply the user's custom settings; upload using YT's uploader.
FWIW, I prefer the second workflow.

Is a 2 minute exported avchd mov file supposed to be 1 gb?

Is a 2 minute exported avchd mov file supposed to be as large as 1gb? There aren't even any edits or changes done to the original video! What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Quicktime Conversion; Compression H.264. How do you get these files into the low double digits (i.e. 40 mb) for the web?
Any help would be terrific

Import your video into Compressor, open Apple Devices and choose HD for Apple Devices (5Mbps) if it is HD or SD for Apple Devices if it is standard def.
The HD setting will give files of around 40MB per minute and the SD will give around 15MB per minute.
You don't want anything less or the quality will begin to suffer.

Editing H.264, exporting with current settings results in transcode?

Hello, I just edited a H.264 (.mov) home video and exported it using "Current Settings". The original file size was 400 MB but the export resulted in a 4.5 GB file. FCP X obviously transcodes the original material. I've also tried exporting the same file using the "H.264" setting, the result then was a 300 Mb file. This corresponds to the cutting I've done but the export process still took a lot of time and CPU to finish which proves transcode taking place again. In the past I used Quicktime 7 Pro to cut and edit H.264, it never transcoded the files and the saving was quick an painless. Am I missing some settings here or is FCP X currently unable to edit H.264 and export it without transcoding the original material? Thank you

Hi Badunit,
thanks a lot for this clarification. It perfectly makes sense in the way you describe it.
Maybe you can give me an additional recommendation ?
At the end I need my film in h.264 format and of course I'd like the film to be in terms of quality as close to the original material as possible. Original files are AVCHD HA (so h.264 codec with 17Mbit/s) in 1080i resolution.
So far I have exported my material directly from FCP X (using either the "export to h.264" from FCP itself but also trying several h.264 export formats from Compressor). All these attempts ended up with a quality that is visibly worse compared to the original AVCHD file, even when I use a bitrate for the output that is much higher than the 17 MBit of the original material. Resolution is fine but scenes with fast moves are really bad in some cases. From a "naive" point of view this seems strange to me: An output file in h.264 25MBit/s should be as good as the input material that was h.264 17MBit/s, shouldn't it ?
From what you stated above, I now wondered if I should better export to ProRes first (thus building what you called the "master" in best available quality) and than build the h.264 file from the master with Compressor in a second step ? means: go the way "Highly compressed" -> Master -> "Highly compressed" instead of directly doing "Highly compressed" -> "Highly compressed" ? Would there be any difference ? Or is the material anyway transcoded to ProRes in the background when exporting to h.264.
Happy to receive any recommendations / experiences on this.

Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
I've tried:
- Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
- Turning off all other applications
- Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
- Restarting the computer
- Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
I had to:
- Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled) --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
- Save EPS file out of Photoshop
- Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
- Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
(the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
- Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

Hi again Raja!
I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.

RED Footage has strange banding with H.264 export

Exporting RED footage to H.264 (just as review files) from Media Encoder CC 2014 and it has some strange horizontal banding going on. Never happened with CC. Anyone know what this is??

Would you be able to post an image of that issue here on the forum message? that help us better understand the issue you are referring to. Also, what Settings in H264 did you have? Maybe you can post image of your settings as well.
Thanks.

Embed H.264 exported videos in Powerpoint 2010

Hello,
We are using CS 5.5 on Windows 7 x64. Our videos are exported using the H.264 format.
The problem is:
We can embed the video in powerpoint (assumed quicktime is installed) but when we want to play it in the presentation, it simply shows a black screen, audio works. The weird think now is, when I fast-forward for at least one time, it works. It only shows a blackscreen if you dont fast-forward for atleast one time.
The problem could be solved, by installing the k-lite codec pack, but since we are sending presentations to other people, outside of our company, this isnt a solution.
I checked it on Windows 7 x64 and x86 with office 32 bit and quicktime, I get always the same result.
Anyone else having trouble to get their H.264 exported videos working in powerpoint 2010?
Thanks in advance
Malte

As for using the solution in post 8 above, this has problems. If you change to ipod multiplexing, then the quality of the exported video is quite a lot worse than a normal MP4. You get crawling noise on fine detail and an odd pulsing of the noise every few seconds. (This is related to the keyframe setting.) I have a video here that students shot in a forest, lots of fine detail in the tree trunk bark and all the leaves on the tree and the floor. With the Adobe YouTube H264 preset (1080p25 @ 8Mbps) the end result is fine but can only be used in Mac PowerPoint 2011 and not windows PowerPoint 2010. (2013 version has not been rolled out here.) If I repeat the export, changing only the multiplexing setting from standard to ipod then you see artefacts in the exported file. It does work in windows PowerPoint 2010, but its not a clean export.
Back to wmv for windows and mp4 for mac, until 2013 PowerPoint arrives and then we try again.

Exporting an .ai file to a bitmap file

In Illustrator Scripting (VBscripting), how can you export an ai file to a bitmap file?
In Illustrator you can open an ai file and by selecting the Export option you have a choice of formats and one of them is BMP. How can this be done in scripting? I did look at the AIExportType, but BMP is not in the list.
aiJPEG = 1
aiPhotoshop = 2
aiSVG = 3
aiPNG8 = 4
aiPNG24 = 5
aiGIF = 6
aiFlash = 7
aiAutoCAD = 8
I will also need to do this same method by Exporting to an eps file.
The task is the following:
When a client uploads an image file, we need to automatically export the file to bmp and to esp, thus having 3 files (original upload, bmp, and esp). The file types that we are exporting, so far, will be ai, esp, and pdf (more to follow I am sure).
We also need to get information about each file.
Is it vector or a bitmap?
Color: RGB, CMYK, or Pantone?
Is there text or curves or both?
What is the DPI resolution?
What is the image size?
Any help would be beneficial.
Thanks,
Tom

Larry,
On a different issue...
If you have a groupitem (contains a textframe and a rectangle object), I can
loop thru the group item, but it seems that it gives a type back as group
item for each item in the group. But it should give back TextFrame and a
rectangle. Any ideas?
