Help HDV quicktime export is breaking

I am working with this footage in FINAL CUT PRO that was shot on HDV 720p format.
So i needed to lay off a small Quicktime for the music composer. I used a Custom Setting with the same settings as my sequence and exported. When i tested it on another computer, it was White and had been cut short. ( i am assuming it was a missing codec on that second computer that caused the White image)
My second attempt was to export the second 1/2 and used DVCProHD50 and it cut off again!!!
Please let me know what i can do to have it export entirely. The piece is 20 minutes.
THANKS!!

I think i found a temporary solution, when I export as a Quicktime, i use a custom setting, and in their matched up my sequence settings to the Quicktime export settings.
I was able to export the HDV footage in 3 different pieces. i ran out of space when i left my whole 16 minute piece exporting overnight.
we will see tonight if i am able to export my entire timeline.

HELP!---Quicktime Export Loosing Audio

Thanks for reading this.
I have a quicktime that I downloaded. It's called Batman Dead End. Perhaps you've seen it. Well I saved it from the site and now want to bring it into after effects so that I can crop out the black bars, so I can save it as an MPEG4 file and copy it to my PSP.
My problem is when I try to import into after effects, I get an error. AE doesn't like the compression codec or something. However this isn't my Quicktime Problem...
My problem is that I can't export the Quicktime file using QTP 7.0.2, with AUDIO. Video is not a problem. I tried many different codecs, but I am never presented with the option to export my audio. When I save the file in whatever codec, I loose the audio.
These are the codecs I've tried:
MPG4
MPG4 (ISMA)
MPG4 H.264
QUICKTIME MOVIE
AVI
Here's one thing... I tried DV. It gave me the audio option and the video exported nicely out as a .DV file. However I am sure I won't always have such nice big video to export without it looking like crap. If I am downloading a movie trailer (as I like to do) then I will have a problem saving those files as .DV.
Can you guys & gals help?

What's the format of the original clip? If it's MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, you've run up against a limitation WRT QT & muxed audio tracks in those formats.
You'll need to use MPEG Streamclip to demux/transcode into another format.

Help with Quicktime Export from FCP

Hi,
I just completed a wedding in Final Pro 5.2, and exported as self contained movie. I open it in IDVD, and the quality was not so good with converting from HDV to Mpeg 2. What is the best setting for HDV conversion to SD Anamorphic for a DVD? any special tweeks in the bitrates that I can ajust for greater quality? I am also encoding to H.264 HD for Studio Pro so there will be two veiwable versions on DVD. Ideas?
Thanks Tim C.

Search these boards, using the amazing - and FREE - 'Search' function. There's been ENDLESS numbers of threads on this topic, and the issue is very well covered indeed.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

Can anyone help me recover a corrupt Quicktime Export file?

I recently erased a hard drive by mistake. Yes. I really did.
So I took it round to my computer guy, Les Mannos, in the SF Valley and he recovered the material to another drive.
It all looks fine and the files are all the same size and the icons are there. So I thought I had dodged a bullet but ...
When I went to open the only really important file - a 72 gig Quicktime export file - neither FCP, nor SOuntrack Pro, not MPEG Streamclip nor anything would get it to open. It sits there saying that QT does not recognize the file.
Since the file size has remained the same, it makes me think that the actual track is probably intact, but that the information (wrapper?) is corrupted.
Can any of you boffins out there tell me if this file can undergo surgery and, if so, who could do it? I can pay a nominal fee.
Best wishes, and thanks for reading this,
Harry.

Sounds more likely that the pointers were recovered, but the area that they'd pointed to was already overwritten. Unlikely that anything can be done at this point.
VLC will make a more valiant attempt to parse the file if you wanna try it -

Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in FCP on a mac at work) on PC

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

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..

Flash and quicktime export not possible at all!

hi iwork dev team!
as there was no result on my prev post, here again:
i use keynote'08 4.02 on imac with 2gb and osx 10.5.2.
i created a presentation with 15 slides and over all 16,5 minutes.
each slide has a mp3 sound file attached (the speakers voice recorded externally).
now i am facing following problems on *export to flash* (export is around 18mb):
1) synchronization of voice and effects is different than inside keynote - i fixed this by changing times and export/test cycles, as long until i run sync in swf (please make it sync - this is terrible).
2) starting with slide 13 some objects do not appear - in further slides many objects do not appear. the sound and time is ok, but not much to see. if i split the presentation into 2 parts, the export works fine, all objects appear in all slides, but i found no way to combine those 2 swf files....
3) in one slide i found out that the order of appearing/disappearing objects confuses the swf export, so that many objects afterwards are not at all shown.... i played around long and splitted the slide in 2 slides and with some workarounds i got it show all objects.
4) it would be great if at least some transitions and most effects would be supported and times of effects would be the same inside keynote and in exported swf.
*exporting to quicktime*:
1) first i had one large mp3 for the whole presentation and added it as soundtrack and synced it inside keynote. exporting this to quicktime made it run async. but at least export was possible for the full presentation.
2) i splitted the mp3 for each slide and added each mp3 to each corresponding slide. this way i made it possible to export to swf (see above). but quicktime export now has no sound and slide shows up nearly endless.... qt export is impossible.
what can i do?
at least it would help me if i can export ONE swf file.
best would be if it has same sync inside keynote and in swf - but i can live for now with swf export optimized sync that doesnt work inside keynote. but it should be fixed at least in the future....

I'm currently having a similar problem, where the Flash exported by Keynote seems to randomly miss some objects on the page that appear after a click or a delay. In fact, in one case, I had embedded a EPS file in the slide, and some parts of the embedded file were exported to Flash but not others. I'm using Keynote 3.0.2, so I'm sorry to hear that Keynote '08 still has this bug which makes Flash export pretty awful to deal with.

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.

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.

Quicktime Export causing Out of Sync Audio?

I'm trying to export a self contained Quicktime movie from my timeline, and every time I try, the audio ends up being out of sync. What am I doing wrong?
The audio is set to just the defaults, 16 bit, 48khz.
Sequence settings: HDV1080p30
When I bring the final exported movie back into FCP, it plays out of sync.
Exporting through the Share feature to bluRay resulted in perfect sync audio, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.
Please help!

Allright, since nobody out there seems to have the answer - I'm going to share what I discovered so that the next person will actually get an answer without having to spend hours and hours finding it in other forums. Here goes:
Problem: Audio plays in sync on the timeline, an export from the timeline through Share to bluRay results in correctly synced audio; but a Quicktime Export with current settings results in a final movie where audio is out of sync with the video.
Solutions: I found two solutions to this problem:
1- When exporting to Quicktime Movie, check "recompress all frames". This solution had mixed reviews, with lots of people saying you should never do this, as it will reduce the quality of your final output; while others said the reduction in quality was not noticeable to the naked eye. I guess you can try it and be the judge.
2- In your sequence settings, change the compression setting to Apple Pro Res. This is the setting I decided to go with, as I'm currently awaiting the 10 hour render.
I did do a quick and dirty test on the ProRes option, where it appeared to work. Since the audio is correctly synced in the beginning of the video and then slowly falls out of sync (obviously the 30p to 29.97 problem), I had to run a test using my entire sequence. If you run a test on a 2 minute sequence, it will appear to be correct, because it is a slow falling out of sync issue - the problems occur later in your project (just fyi). Here is what I did (in case you want to try it on your project):
I created a new sequence and then changed the compression setting from HDV1080-30p to Apple Pro Res 422. I dragged my sequences into this sequence (so they were nested). I unlinked the audio and then selected about a 20 second area from about 3/4 of the way through the project. I sliced this section and then removed all the video before and after (so it would speed up render time and only render black, but I would still be able to see if the audio synced up later - I hope that makes sense - this made my export time only 12 minutes). After it exported, I reimported the movie, found the little 20 second area, and it was correctly synced. So, now I am exporting the whole thing. I sincerely hope this works. I don't have lots of 10 hour blocks just lyin' around!
Since my audio issue was most likely due to the fact that I captured and edited in 1080 30p, I believe it must be a bug in FCP that exports the Quicktime movie in 29.97 regardless of whatever your sequence settings are (believe me, I tried to change it to 1080-30p and it didn't work). That is why I think the Apple Pro Res option works, but it involves a total re-render of your project. This is also why I believe it plays fine in the timeline, because my timeline was set to 30p. Again, I also believe that is why my export to BluRay through Share resulted in correctly synced audio - the bluRay export I believe uses the Pro Res codec (which, by the way, took 19 hours).
Wish Apple would fix this bug.

Quicktime Export Does Not Play Music

I am having problems with the Quicktime export function of iPhoto not exporting the background music with the pictures. The old quick time files with the music in them seem to be playing fine in quicktime, so it isn't a quicktime issue. The music plays fine with the slide show, so I wonder why this problem.
Help is appreciated. I am using 5.0.4 version of iPhoto.

If anyone reads these posts and is experiencing these problems I think I have a solution! I spoke to Apple today and they are aware of the problema and are working on a solution. In the mean time they have a work-around and it works!! The problem centers on importing music that is not in MP3 format in some instances. So the easy explanation, or fix, is to reformat any troublesome music selections as MP3. The trick is how to do this if you are using iTunes. This is how I went about it:
First I had to set iTunes to become MP3 friendly. I learned to do this from a post in the iTunes discussions (thanks to Peter Miller!)
1. open iTunes.
2. select iTunes preferences.
3. go to "Advanced".
4. select "Importing".
5. In the drop-down menu for "Import Using" select "MP3 Encoder"
6. Select files in iTunes Library which are not MP3
7. In the "Advanced" menu select "Convert selection to MP3"
Steps #6 and #7 were not adequate to convert my clips to MP3, however, so I had to take a couple of additional steps.
1. Create a folder on the desktop - I labeled mine "Slideshow Music"
2. Drage your music from iTunes to your new folder. You'll have to trash the original copies eventually, but I'd wait until you're sure the conversion to MP3 works to do so.
3. Use a utility to convert the files to MP3. I used one called iLoveMP3 that I found on the internet. It worked perfectly. I also found a commercial program called Sound Grinder but didn't try it.
4. Once you convert your music to MP3, discard the copies in your "Slideshow Music" folder that are not MP3.
5. Discard the copies of your music in iTunes before re-importing your MP3 copies of the same music.
6. FINALLY! Drag your new MP3 copies of your music in to iTunes. They are now copied as MP3 and will work in your slideshow!
I know it is a lot of work, but if you keep the iTunes settings as they are now, and all NEW music is imported as MP3, I think future music usage in slideshows should be a little easier.

Quicktime Export settings for projected slide presentation

I'm looking to find the best quicktime export settings to use in order to have a Keynote 3 presentation as a stand alone movie. I will be projecting the movie from a PC onto a large screen at 1024 x 768 resolution. The project is for a photography club public presentation, and needs to be top quality.
Thanks for your input

Barbara,
The 640X480 vs 720X480 dilemma is an interesting subject! DV Video and Video DVDs use 720X480 resolution. TVs do not have square pixels, but computer monitors do have square pixels - so some adjustment is needed, and 640X480 is the square pixel down-converted equivalent for computers to the 720X480 in non square pixels used by TVs......make sense?
iDVD supports high definition video
Well what this means is iDVD can read HD video files, and convert them to standard definition Video DVDs. It does NOT mean that iDVD can produce HD DVDs. HD DVDs and HD DVD players are not on the market yet.
Today's Video DVDs are not high resolution, they are 720X480. The only way to get higher resolution is to avoid the Video DVD standard, and just make a data DVD. This will not be playable on commercial DVD players, only on computers with the right software and codecs. If I needed to make professional presentations on large screen high resolution monitors, I would not use Video DVDs. Bring a new powerbook and use H.264
If you want to go the DVD route anyway, then 720 X 480 is the best you can get. I'd tell FotoMagico to export in HD (720p). This is a bit of overkill, as iDVD will encode at a lower resolution, but I've gotten good results that way.
You may have to use the anamorphicizer to get iDVD to realize the movie is Widescreen.

Quicktime Export - Double Speed

I have had more problems with Quicktime Export ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. My usual way of doing things is to edit my movie, then export to +Quicktime Movie+ using the same format (ie not +Quicktime Conversion+...). However, every time I export that way, my movie is running at 200%, while the audio is running at regular speed. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

Quicktime export question

hey guys
i know that quicktime export is the best for dvd because it is the same source coming out as it was going in.
my one video i exported was roughly 17 minutes long...i exported it and it came to about 300mb
i then exported a video that was only 7 minutes long and it came to 1.5gb!
both videos has the same amount of stuff going on it it...possibly the 17 minute one had even more! so why would the shorter lengthed video be such a huge file size?
i am planning on making a dvd with about 25 short lengthed films on it. most blank dvds hold 4.7 gbs so that one video being 1.5gb is kinda hurtin
why would it export that much larger? is there anything i can do to help that?
thankyou

hey
i rendered everything and exported again, althought unfortunately it still came out to be 1.5 gb!
i can't figure out what it would be...i tried something after...i imported the 1.5gb video into a new project and exported that...it came out to 80 mb which was good, but then when i deleted the other file, that 80mb video file all of a sudden became currupt! i dont know how it did because it was a totally separate exported file? :/
well i just ran out of space on my mac book pro so i was trying to find stuff to delete to save some space to continue.
i saw that itunes copies all of the songs from lime wire, so i deleted all of the lime wire copies, which was about 3 or 4 gigs.
unfortunatly when i opened my projects back up a ton of the music was offline! i suppose when i imported alot of music i chose the limewire copy instead which is unfortunate
i was freaking out when i saw this! all of these files were offline...is there any way to reconnect them with the exact file copy, thats in itunes?
even though alot of these files were offline, i still heard them on the timeline which was releaving...
im still trying to export this 7 minute long video to hopefully be less than 300mb. would there be any more of a problem now that some of the audio is offline?
all i need is a quicktime dvd quality export of it, if i get that, i suppose it doesnt even matter if i keep the project or rough stuff
please help!
thankyou
