Hdv quicktime movie xport settings

does anyone know the best export settings for a quicktime movie?
ie what compresion type and what export size settings.
I want to quicktime movie to b of broadcast standard.
im using a canon hv10 with imovie HD 6 on a mac book pro.
footage shot in HDV pal
thanks

... I'm not familiar with HiDef, nor "broadcast standards fullfilling QT files" (never heard of that.. which broadcaster accepts files??)
anyhow:
in Export/Quicktime/Expert Setting/ you'll find under Options the 'Apple Intermediate Codec'.
this is the codec, you're iM project is actual made of (iM converts HiDef imports automatically into that to make them editable...) .
choose AIC and in the option's drop-down the HDV settings you're working with 720p/1080i ...
that will create a really huge file (~60GB/h) ... but your 'best quality' ...
bsides: why not simply playout back to tape? best and easiest process.... (?)

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB
    Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

    HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
    1)apple pro res *for pc
    2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
    I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
    I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
    anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
    Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
    this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..

  • Output quicktime movie choppy and less sharp than original

    Goodmorning!
    I am planning to make a stand alone movie of my footage that I can keep and watch on my iMac. My sequence was made on FCP 7 on 1920 x 1080 with Prores 422 codec.
    I did a few tests with exporting to quicktime movie (standard settings), because I have read several times that converting this way results in more or less the same quality. When I compare the videoquality of the Quicktime movie with playing the footage on the timeline fullscreen (+view-external video-all frames+), I am very disappointed. Not only is the sharpness of the quicktime movie less than the original, the movie plays very choppy (not fluently at all) .
    My question is: is that result to be expected? May I compare a quicktime movie with the original as described before?
    Or maybe I should export the sequence in a more sophisticated way?
    The quicktime outcome was about 30 seconds and resulted in a file of about 500 MB. My wish is that the size of the file will not be bigger.
    I hope that you can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Tom,
    Three times "correct" to your three questions.
    Opened the exported file in the QuickTime player, Movie Inspector said:
    Structure: Apple ProRess 422 , 1920 x1080 (1888 x 1062) millions, 16-bit integer (little indian) Stereo 48000 khz
    Bps: 25
    Size: 561,7 MB
    Speed: 118,53 Mbit/s
    Current size: 1882 x 1058 pixels
    If I run the sequence through JED deinterlacer, the movie gets a better flow. Of course the sharpness deminish a bit too.
    I hope that you can help me.
    Would export in H.264 be a better option?
    Maybe the 25 Bps is too high? My Panasonic SD60 produces only 17 mb Mbps.

  • Quicktime Movie to CD

    I have a finished project that I have burned to a CD. It's small about 530MB. I made it a Quicktime Movie using Quicktime Conversion. I set the video to DV/DVC Pro and quality at Med.
    When I try to play the finished CD it starts to play then freezes.
    Any thoughts?

    You encoded it too fast a bit rate for the cd to keep up.
    Recode it.
    Quicktime Conversion -- Quicktime Movie -- Recent Settings change to Broadband High or greater.
    Then click ok
    Good luck,

  • QuickTime - Save Export Settings -  script help needed

    Currently I am using Panther 10.3.9 - with QT PRO 7.02 - ( I do not want to
    upgrade to Tiger at this time unfortunately)...
    * MY GOAL: to be able to save export preferences in QuickTime pro.
    Since QuickTime does not seem to be able to save export presets... I

    - another issue is that the settings file "set1test" says it is the kind = "QuickTime settings document" - however it has a blank icon in the Finder - and there does not seem to be any way to open the file with QuickTime 7.02 - and it can to open something classic mode when I double click on it.

  • Quicktime Movies playing 4:3 in Widescreen Menus???

    I have exported a 30 second Quicktime movie that was shot and edited in Anamorphic in Final Cut Pro by doing the following:
    1) File --- Export ----- Quicktime Movie --- Current Settings ---- Video Only
    I then set up the Movie Theatre opening menu in DVD Studio Pro in 16:9 Mode. I then imported the 30 second Quicktime movie that I just made in DVD SP and put it in the menu's drop zone. When I went to simulate the menu, the menu was playing in 4:3 mode in the 16:9 drop zone. Heads are getting cut off.
    What am I doing wrong? Am I exporting wrong from FCP or is there a menu button or drop zone button that I am not pressing in DVD SP that I should be?
    All I want to happen is that the QT movie that I exported from FCP play in perfect widescreen mode in a 16:9 menu in DVD SP.
    Thanks in advance

    If the material is anamorphic then turn on the check mark in the anamorphic column in the browser and the video should display as 16:9.

  • Bitty blurry Quicktime movie exported

    Hi folks. My first venture on iMovie is a 4-min. edit of video clips, a couple of still images, and audio. The visuals look decent in iMovie HD, but after exporting, the piece looks very bitty and blurry, really quite bad. I've exported in every option available (email, expert, etc.), to no avail. I am interested in attaching the movie to emails to friends.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Are you using:

    Or are you doing a QuickTime Conversion?
    Try the first option if you haven't already done it.

  • What settings to use when exporting HD into QuickTime Movie

    This help call goes out to any Mac user with Final Cut. I need help!!!
    I have a Mac G5 and use Final Cut Pro V. 5.1.4. I Just bought a Canon XH A1 and filmed a few test shoots. Then downloaded to FC Pro. I have been trying to export using QuickTime Conversion. Every setting I have tried comes out more or less square. HELP!!!!
    My Settings:
    In Easy Setup - HDV - 1080i60 FireWire Basic
    Under Sequence the setting is:
    Frame Size - HD (1440X1080) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio - HD 1440X1080
    No check mark in Anamorphic 16:9
    Field Dominance- Lower
    Editing Timebase - 29.97
    QuickTime Video Settings:
    Compression - Motion JPEG B
    Under Export - using QuickTime Conversion - QuickTime Movie - Options - Video Settings:
    I tied:
    HDV 1080i60 and 50
    Motion JPEG A and B
    DVCPRO HD 1080i60
    All settings come out squarish!!!

    Hi Patrick,
    Thanks for the info. But I can not get any setting to come out looking widescreen. All settings come out square looking. I have tried every setting I can think of but all the QuickTime exported movies come looking like (i.e.: 800X854) more box than widescreen. I think it must be some setting I do not know about or some combination or possibly the capture setting (easy setup).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Quicktime Export - Keynote, Streaming, and Movie Controller Settings

    A few questions regarding qt export from keynote -
    Is there a way to save quicktime export settings in keynote? Right now I'm exporting multiple files to custom sizes, and have to manually enter the size every time.
    I'm exporting for streaming as well, and have to select it in the qt settings window every time.
    also, is there a way to choose to show the movie controller when exporting a movie? Now I have to open the movie after export in qt pro and choose window>movie properties>presenation>movie controller type>movie controller (it defaults to none when exporting from keynote).
    also, oddly enough, is seems that saving the movie after choosing to show the movie controller removes the streaming setting (movies wait to load completely before playing).
    Thanks!

    No answer to the main question...but the final question--
    When you edit a QuickTime movie, even if the edit is merely to change the settings on the controller, it breaks fast-start. You should be able to fix it by doing a "Save As..." instead of saving the movie in place. But that doesn't seem to work in all versions of QuickTime; I have noticed that certain versions of QT-7 seem to break fast-start altogether.
    There is an app out there called "Lillipot" that will fix this for you. Drag your movie to Lillipot, it does whatever magical conversion is necessary to make fast-start work again.

  • Export settings for quicktime movie to use in DVD Studio Pro

    The workflow:
    I created a movie and did extensive sound adjustments in iMovie and a few video edits, and exported it to a quicktime format:
    compression H.264
    Quality: High
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 1280x720
    Since then I upgraded to FCS, and tried to create a DVD with DVD SP and import the movie, and I get this error:
    Import error:
    One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are that they do not match the current project's video standard or their file format is not supported.
    I'm fairly sure I have matching video standard...and the file format has always been supported before.
    I imported the quicktime (.mov) file to FCP and added some edits, recreated the chapter markers, and early on there was a pop-up that said my movie format did not match the project settings, so I checked the "okay" to adjust the video file to match.
    When I finished, I exported the file from FCP to a quicktime movie with the "current settings" that have always worked with DVD Studio Pro before, and I'm getting the same error.
    I don't know where the problem is.  Both the original movie I created in iMovie and the movie I recreated in FCS will import to iDVD.  I wanted the better quality production from DVDSP....
    I no longer have the iMovie project file.  (I thot I was done.)  I do  have the original footage, but I'm already three days in and hoping to  avoid starting over.
    I would sure appreciate any help!
    Thanks!

    The specifications you listed are the problem.
    I can't comment on iMovie -don't use it personally.
    From FCP, you would export a self contained movie using the current Timeline settings (not H.264 ever)
    Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your movie fits into. This will produce a MPEG 2 video file and an AC3 audio file. Bring both into DVDSP and author.
    A DVD video is always standard def 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).
    Converting the output from FCP to H.264 is adding an unneeded compression stage that will compromize quality -because DVD assets are always MPEG 2 / AC3. Even if DVDSP accepts that H.264 file, it gets transcoded again using DVDSP's own compression system.
    All of this is covered in the DVDSP user manual. Take the time to read it. DVD authoring is complicated if you just jump in and start poking around, simple if you take the time to understand the basics.

  • Exporting HDV to Small Quicktime Movie

    I need to export an HDV sequence (1440x1080) to a 320x240 Quicktime movie. Can anyone please help me on how I can export this and maintain the aspect ratio. I have tried to export it using the Quicktime conversion, but it comes out squished. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using Final Cut Pro 5.

    Why 320X240? It's a 4:3 aspect ratio, and the only way you'll get your 16:9 images in that size is to letter box it in a 4:3 sequence, then export that letterboxed movie... Or use a pan and scan technique (cropping the original) and fill a 4:3 aspect ratio that way... but you can't get a 16:9 aspect ratio of images to fit right in 4:3 aspect any other way... other than to export as a 16:9 movie.
    You can in QT conversion, select it to be letterboxed using the H.264 codec too I think if it must be that size. I think 320X180 would come out right using compressor instead...

  • HDV and FCP Export to Quicktime Movie

    Hi.
    Should I be able to "Export to Quicktime" a 90-minute FCP timeline and expect no hiccups? I keep trying and my Quicktime file has an occasional slight jump from one frame to another when I view it. This happens about once every 2-3 minutes.
    Is the file too large to play back (13gig)? Do I not have a powerful enough computer or graphics card?
    My goal is to play the movie using DVI-out to a theatre's DVI-in, so the film can be viewed in the best quality possible. I was hoping to output to a Quicktime, dump it to my MacBook and play it using the DVI-out.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Specs:
    ~ MacPro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz, 1 GB Ram
    ~ NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card
    ~ Timeline: 720p at 24fps HDV native video
    ~ Outputting to Quicktime Uncompressed
    ~ MacBook: 2.16 GHz, 1 GB Ram
    ~ MacBook Video Card: Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory4

    Choose file/export/QuickTime Movie, and check on the "make self contained" option. Turn off the "recompress all frames" option. This is the best export there is for any source media format HDV or not... Might try exporting just a bit, and see if this movie will play back ok on a MacBook first though using the DVI out to another monitor... Don't change formats. Making it any other format will cause quality loss, or create a file so large that the macbook won't play it... I'd also suggest you put it on a fw drive to play back from the MacBook.
    If it were me though, I'd not trust the Macbook to play it back OK... just not enough horsepower IMHO.

    Greetings from Vienna, Peter

  • How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

    hello everyone.
    I have a little problem.
    I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
    These are the steps I've taken.
    I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
    When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
    This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
    Thanks
    -r

    The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
    1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
    2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.
