HELP - after publishing to Media Browser, still images do not match video

OK - here's what I'm trying to do:
I've got my family's video on an external HD (1TB) hooked up to my (new) imac. I'e created a rough cut project (1.5 hours). I'm trying to transfer it to my (new macbook) laptop so I can work on it when I'm travelling.
I've published the project to the media browser and transfered it to the other compuer. However, the still images in the project library window do not match the video, which makes it hard to edit. When I go back to my imac and disconnect the hard drive, the same thing happens. When I reconnect the hard drive, the video stills in the project library window match the video.
Any fixes?

For DVDs, share to Media Browser - Large. You are correct that DVDs cannot handle HD and would cut it down to 640x480 anyway. The Large size (960x540) seems to provide the right balance of quality and enough material for the compression to MPEG2 to sink its teeth into.
No need for HD size unless you are sharing to BluRay, Sharing to YouTiube, watching on a device like the Sony PS3, or watching on your computer.

Publishing to media browser?

I've got a sony handycam hdr that i use for capturing footage of our kiddos. i'm upload video clips to imovie then i go to share -- media browser -- and then open them in iDVD in order to burn them to discs. My question is, how do i know what size i should select when i publish to media browser? i'm burning to regular DVD-R so not sure if that would even support HD quality. I believe the options in the media browser are tiny, small, medium, large, and HD.

How do i play my imovie project after sharing to media browser

I created an imovie project and clicked the share menu then clicked media browser. I do not have iDVD because it didn't come with my mac. The movie is no longer under my project library and it is only under the movies folder, but it won't play at all.

You need to get a Mac. Then you need your RCPROJECT file as well as any Events or Photos that were referenced in the Movie. The RCPROJECT file is a hexadecimal file that contains the paths to the Event video clips with In and Out points, Titles, transitions, paths to music, paths to photos, etc. If you want to play it on a PC, you need to use the SHARE menu in iMovie. Share it as an h.264 file or as an MP4.
To play on a PC, get QuickTime for Windows (which is free) and play it there as is.

Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

Dear All,
Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
After effects:
“[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
AME:
"Can't read from source."
I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
E.g.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
Not really an option.
Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:

I don't no why Adobe puts out such a buggy piece of software (I know it has to with Apple's poor 32bit quicktime implimentation, but hey, this was known information no?).
Upgrading to CC has given our office nothing but problems.
Hope someone can help to find a work around until Adobe realeases a proper update and solves this problem once and for all.
All help is much appreciated.

Hello Tim,
Thanks for the really quick response!
Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
I've uploaded the crashlog to:
http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running? Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Hope this helps.

I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share Media Browser, but it is not highlighted. What should I do?

I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share >Media Browser, but it is not highlighted in IMovie. What should I do?

Is the clip only in your Event Library in iMovie?
You need to create a Project (File > New Project).
Then move the clip into the project, do any edits and you should be able to Share your Project to Media Browser.

Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
Brightness
Cropping
Scale
Position
I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

Stan,
Thanks again for your input.
When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time. In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again. If there is a workaround to this please let me know. It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing. Could you confirm?
Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills. That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied.
I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work. Have you heard of such a short-cut?
Much thanks again!!

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

What audio output are you using? What mac and version iMovie

IMovie won't publish to Media Browser

First let me say that iMovie 8 has been a disaster. The only changes I have made to my setup in the past 12 months has been adding memory (up to 4GB) and upgrading to Leopard.
My latest (and show stopping) frustration occurs when I try to run iDVD and burn a movie to a DVD. Apparently, I nos need to publish the movie to the Media Browser in order to have iDVD access my iMovie project. But when I try to publish it to media Browser as a Medium sized Movie or a Large Movie, about 20 minutes into the process I get an error message that says, "Unable to prepare project for publishing - The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code = =43)"
Does anyone know what this is all about? I have tried this three times and get teh same error message every time.
I'm just about ready to uninstall and go back a few revs. This is ridiculous and it's very frustrating.
Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can offer any assistance.
John

(Error code = =43)
If you are referring to -43 error code, I believe this is a "File not found" error. Most likely either one of your files has been lost or deleted at the finder level or one (or more) of your thumbnails has a bad reference pointer.

Problems finding movie in iDVD after sharing through Media Browser

I created an iMovie in the '08 version and am now trying to burn to a DVD. I have followed the tutorial for rendering the project through the Share-Media Browser option, but when I open the iDVD application, I cannot find my movie under "Movies". It's listed, but grayed out.
Does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
Thanks.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with how I created the file originally. I could be missing something very obvious here.
If you shared your iMovie '08 project to the "Media Browser" (or published to the Gallery), the file creation should have been automatic and supposedly foolproof to specific settings. However, just to be sure, have you tried opening the "Project" package at the finder level to play the movie in the QT Player and examine its statistics to ensure they are what they should be? It might give some clue as to why the file is "unavailable" in iDVD.

Media browser still hanging up

ok, so i updated pp cc 2014 today to see if they'd addressed our issues with the bugs.
i just opened media browser to find some files and only about half of my files loaded showing the preview thumbnail, then other half just say "Processing...filename.mov"
when i double click any file that the preview hasn't loaded on, it says media offline and hangs up with the "Open Files" dialog box that just says Open Files... and the progress bar never filled in. when i try to click cancel it just gives me the wheel of death.

Quicktime from Media Browser loads but controller not working

I exported a film from iMovie HD to media browser. Dragged it in to iweb. the cursor works in iWeb. When I publish it, video shows, controller shows, BUT clicking the play does nothing. Only double clicking the image area works. no way to play, pause or adjust volume. Can you guys help?

Wydor...... you are AWESOME! Thank you so much. That was it. An invisible layout was obscuring my controller. That really should be made known to iWeb users. Not everyone has their own Genius buddy like I do

My Still Image will not fill the Canvas????

I want to create the effect of panning down through space.
I took a still frame from a movie in FCP sized at 720 x 576 and brought it into Photoshop, and made the canvas 720 x 1146 and copied the image and pasted it on top of itself. So my image is now 720 x 1146, and I exported it as a .psd and brought it into FCP.
When dragged from the Browser and into the Timeline, the image does not take the full width of the Canvas. It seems long enough, though now not wide enough to fill the Canvas. What is going on?
Thanks.

well 720x576 is PAL. Why you've got a 640x480 sequence only you can say, if you want it to be 720x576 then you should make a new sequence and choose an appropriate sequence setting.
The reason your still is displaying small in the centre of the frame is that fcp is automatically scaling the 1146 pixels down to fit the 480 pixel height of the sequence. If you set the canvas view size to a small size (25 or 50% and turn on overlays you can click on the corner of the wireframe around you still and drag to resize it to fill the width of the frame and overlap the top and bottom. Move the playhead to the frame you want the tilt down to start and then you can click anywhere within the wireframe to reposition the still. Double click the still in the timeline to load it in the viewer, then go to the motion tab and make a keyframe here, then move the playhead to where the tilt down will end and make another keyframe.

How do I play a video on a still image - for example - a video playing on a TV screen in a still living room image?

Hi All,
I am just starting to work with video and image and have a question - probably something quite easy but I can't seem to find any tutorials to show me how.
Basically I want to have a video playing on a still image - for example a tv screen in a living room.
I am currently struggling to find out how to resize the video to the exact angle of the screen. I can get it playing but at the dimensions of the original video but can't seem to find out how to adjust the video to be sized at the angle the tv is sat at?
Any help would be appreciated.
Andy

An Opacity Mask plus Corner Pin is what I would use.
I like when an "insert" comes from behind the matte... and also ....this way allows feathering of the edges.

Importing still images...matching properties...getting squished!

I am importing jpegs created in Photoshop at 1440 x 1080 into my FCP timeline and they look squished, or compressed from top to bottom.
My clip properties show 1440x1080..."anamorphic" is also not checked. To me at least, the video properties match the still's properties, so I basically don't get why FCP squished my image as the end result after importing the still and placing into the timeline.
I thought maybe it had something to do with non-square/square pixels, but I'm not sure.
Thoughts on this?

Is this what we're talking about here?
+Pixel Aspect Ratios in SD Video Signals Versus Computer Displays+
+SD video images use pixels with a non-square (rectangular) aspect ratio, whereas computer displays represent images using a grid of pixels with a square aspect ratio.+
+Digital NTSC video+
+Non-square pixels Square pixels+
+Computer display+
+Chapter 18 Working with Freeze Frames and Still Images 373+
+SD NTSC pixels are taller than computer pixels and SD PAL pixels are wider than computer pixels. As a result, a 720 x 480 pixel image looks different (taller) on an NTSC video monitor than it does on a computer display. For example, if you capture a clip of video with a globe in the picture, export a frame, and look at this frame in a graphics application, you’ll see something like this:+
+NTSC square vs. non-square pixels example+
+Looks right Looks wrong on a video monitor on a computer monitor+
+The Viewer and the Canvas let you display non-square pixel video correctly on the computer’s display. You can choose this option by choosing Show As Sq. Pixels from the Zoom pop-up menu in both windows.+
+Pixel Aspect Ratios in HD Video+
+Uncompressed HD video transferred via an HD-SDI signal has pixel dimensions of either 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080. However, HD video recorded on tape is often horizontally compressed to reduce the data rate. DVCPRO HD, HDV, and HDCAM are three examples of formats whose native horizontal dimensions are squeezed. For example, 1080i60 DVCPRO HD is 1280 x 1080. 1080i50 DVCPRO HD is 1440 x 1080. Because of the discrepancy in dimensions even within a single format, it’s usually best to create HD graphics at either 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720, depending on your final output format. If you are uncertain which HD format you plan to output to, you can always be safe by creating your graphics at the largest size possible (1920 x 1080) and then scaling down if necessary.+
