Help needed in exporting a ProRes 422 clip out of CS5 AE

First, I have very limited skills in AE, but I just used it to rescue a scene from a high profile interview.  The subject had taken a sip of water that left a incredibly shiny reflective spot over is mouth and I was able to use the clone tool and paint over the affected frames.  I could probably have used the Motion Tracking tool and a mask...but I've probably learned the hard way. 
So here's my question...
This project started in Final Cut Pro.  The footage is 1080p 29.97 ProRes 422.   I duplicated the affected ProRes clip (about one minute) and started an AE project with it.  The clip resides as a layer in the composition.   The clone tool changes that I made are recorded in the Effects tab that is now part of the dropdown menu in the clip.   Although I probably should have done this on an adjustment layer (so it's non-destructive), but will make a note for next time.
I have reviewed the clip in AE frame by frame and the results appear to be great.
The question is...how do I get my corrected ProRes clip out of AE so I can use it in Final Cut?   Is the way that I did this did I end up baking in these changes to existing ProRes 422 clip and I don't have to render it, etc.?
Or do i have to go in to the AE project and toggle something within the composition, highest quality, collapse something...and then possibly do a render output?   I want to end up with how it began...ProRes 422.
Any detailed advice would be extremely helpful so I can preserve the high quality work I've done in AE!
Thanks, John

Well, I answered my own question.  Rendered out the clip with the lowless animation codec Quicktime movie.  Then used Apple's Compressor to convert it back to ProRes 422.  Brought it back into FCP and it looked great.   You can't tell any repair work has been done on the image.  
I would have used Adobe's Media Encoder to convert it to ProRes, but from tests I've done previously, and in fact did a thread on it in Premiere's forum about one month ago, the Media encoder tends to slightly soften a ProRes image.  And this is something I've reported back to Adobe...along with a chroma tearing issue as it encodes back to ProRes.  Hopefully there will be a patch to correct this behavior.

  • Aren't FCPX and Compressor supposed to be able to export Apple ProRes 422 LT?  I just bought FCPX and Compressor and there seems to be no way to transcode HDV clips to Apple ProRes422 LT.  Before buying I read LACUG tutorial by R Taylor that says it can.

    Tom is right. Codecs are shared software system-wide ("Core Video"). If you cannot find the option with any software (such as MPEG Streamclip), you won't find it in Compressor or FCPX either. The Quicktime ProRes codecs is part of the FCP menu > "Download Additional Content" you need to make after install FCPX (or Compressor.) These "pro video" codecs are part of all "ProApp" licenses for video related software from Apple (QT7Pro, Motion, Compressor, Final Cut, etc....) [you can also download them here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1396]
    Most articles/tutorials you read by "long time" users are apt to assume the reader has been working with pro-video on Macs since the days of disk installs (like they have). In those days, the installation of those codecs wasn't even really an option (well, it was if you did a custom install - but who *didn't* install all available codecs??), it was automatically installed with the main software. Since the "App Store" venue... things have changed somewhat.

  • "Importer reported a generic error" message while importing ProRes 422 clip

    Hi all.  I am getting an "Importer reported a generic error" message when I try to import a ProRes 422, linear PCM clip into Premiere Pro CS6.  I have imported other ProRes 422 clips in previous projects without a problem, although those clips did not have the linear PCM codec included.  I have tried to solve the problem using advice on other forum threads.  Changing the file name did not work.  Removing underscores in the file name did not work either.  Copying the file and pasting to a different folder before re-importing did not work either.  The file DOES open in AE, but I am getting the error message without fail when I try to import into Premiere.  Any thoughts on how to remedy the situation?  FYI - I am still running version 6.0.0 of Premiere.  Thanks for your help!

    Try going to Help | Deactivate in Pr.  Close Pr.  Reboot.  Launch Pr and activate if requested.  That procedure has helped some users restore missing codecs and presets, maybe it'll help your Dynamic Link.

  • HDV exported as ProRes 422 produces 4:3 in iDVD?

    AVCHD exported from FCP X as ProRes 422 works perfectly in iDVD producing a 16:9 DVD.
    HDV doesn't, even though QT Player plays it perfectly.
    The odd thing is that 4 years ago, using legacy FCP my exported HDV videos had no problems being recognised as 16:9 by iDVD.
    So why are FCP X produced HDV videos not recognised as 16:9?
    P.S.  I know that iDVD never recognised DV in the 16:9 format but it always worked with HDV.
    Incidentally, the old trick of opening it in QT Pro and changing the frame size to 1024 x 576 does not work!

    The AVCHD was actually 50p footage in a 25p project exported as ProRes via Share>Export Media.
    Worked perfectly in iDVD.
    The HDV was standard 1440 x 1080 treated just the same and came out as 4:3 in iDVD which I suppose is what it is when the pixels are square.
    I have found a workaround/solution.
    Make a ProRes 422 custom preset in Compressor specifying a frame size of 1920 x 1080.
    Works perfectly and iDVD sees it correctly as 16:9.
    Only downside is that converting using the custom preset takes at least twice as long.
    Regarding the weird moire pattern when using FCP 7, I have just exported the clips as ProRes 422 1920 x 1080 and they appear normal.
    The moire pattern appeared when I exported the clips as native HDV, something I always did years go with no problems.
    So I have found workarounds but not solutions.

  • Help needed in Export to Excel

    Hi All,
    I needed some clarifications/suggestions on using the export to excel.
    1) When I click on export to excel, a <div> tag also gets exported. I came to know that this is becuse of selecting the "Enable Partail Page Refresh" to Yes. Now, I have pagination in my reports and I also need to export to CSV/Excel. Is there no way where in I can use PPR as well as export the report without the DIV tag?
    2) I have a number column to which I have given APEX inbuilt hyperlinks. When I do an export the columns where I have given these links do not get Exported. Any way to overcome this? I cant give links in SQL query as then all number formatting would be lost.
    3) In my report display I have colspan = "2" for some alternate rows. In my excel output I obtain these correctly but without colspan. Is it possible to merge the cells in excel output wherever there is colspan="2"? Or am I asking too much?
    Any suggestions would be welcome. Please let me know what can be done to solve this.

    Hi
    One solution which I've used before is to have a separate page for the export. Have a report on that page that uses the same query as the actual report (including any filters based on page items) and set the report to use the Export: CSV template. The Export link on the original page needs to be removed and replaced with a link to the new page. When you click the new link, the page opens as a download file automatically.
    This way, you don't need to worry about pagination and you can use different fields on your export.

  • Help needed to export 19MB PDF to Word

    I have a 19MB PDF, created by scanning, in which the text is recognizable (searchable, copyable). I have tried to convert it to MS Word (both .docx and .doc) from IE9, latest Firefox and latest Chrome, as well as from Reader 11.0.3, all in Win 7 x64 SP1. From the browsers, I get " 'name of PDF' failed to export to Microsoft Word. There was an unexpected problem." From Reader, I get "An error occurred while trying to access the service."
    After searching this forum, I went back and tried again, turning off the "recognize text" feature. Still I get the same errors.
    We purchased this subscription specifically to convert this one file. Help!

    Hurray, Hisami converted the file for me. Here is part of his email:
    "Thank you for reporting the issue using Adobe ExportPDF service.
    I reviewed your PDF file and noticed that the PDF is a big file and it seems the export process encountered a time out on our service."
    If you're having trouble with your own conversion, try submitting the file to Adobe. I apologize, I can't remember exactly how I found that page. It's titled "File Conversion Issues" "Send Us Your File Below" and there is a form to fill out where you attach the file, and a few days later, I had my converted file. Yay!

  • Need some help exporting to ProRes 422 (HQ) NTSC

    Need to turn my film over to our distributor and they request the ProRes file.
    My original sequence is 720x480 at 29.97fps.
    When I export to Pro Res 422 (HQ) NTSC the size reads 720 x 486 (in quicktime movie inspector).
    The video looks good, but subtitles do not look as sharp.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    Message was edited by: guygadbois

    What's your source material? DV or DVCPro50? If it's just DV, just use ProRes, not HQ.
    Rather than exporting to do the conversion, I would either export a QT at your current settings and use Compressor to convert it, or, duplicate your sequence, open the sequence settings to your new copy and change the Compressor to ProRes, then export that at current settings.

  • Help needed in Exporting tables data through SQL query

    Hi All,

  • Problem with exporting Apple prores 422 HQ

    Hi!
    I'm trying to export a 2:40min long seq in apple prores422hq and the result after export is always just a 1:39 min long clip. Any ideas why?
    Thanks for your help.

    Likely because you have a corrupt item at 1:39.  See, if removing or replacing, or re-instituting any footage, stills or plug-ins at that point on your timeline.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED with exporting avi

    I have the following problem: I am using Flash 8 Professional
    to produce a series of avi files showing the motion of a dot along
    different paths. Whenever I use the drawing tools to draw the path
    everything is all right: I can export both a swf and an avi file
    showing the motion. The problems start when I use action acript to
    specify the path: then a swf can be exported, but not an avi file
    (Flash acts as if it is exporting but the avi file produced shows
    only a stationary dot). Can anybody help me?

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Urgent Help Needed... iDVD Playing Muted Clips

    So I just finished editing and creating a project for school with three friends in iMovie. We filmed a scene of Hamlet in the style of the godfather, and to explain our shot choices we copied the entire movie to a new project, muted the audio on all of the clips (Select all, then dragged to zero on audio option), and then added the voiceover that we recorded on garage band. This plays fine in iMovie, but when I added this movie as a special feature in iDVD not all of the clip audio was muted.
    Around halfway through the movie the clip noise starts playing. I have gone back three times to iMovie and made sure these clips are muted, but each time I put the movie on iDVD the clip noise returns.
    This project is due Monday, so I am in need of some quick help. I really appreciate it, and you might even get a mention in the credits of our film, lol.

    Hi
    a. There can be a problematic iDVD pref file. Delete this and start a new project.
    b. There can be to little free space on internal boot hard disk
    c. There can be problems with what iDVD got eg strange file formats as .avi, .wmv
    and audio from iTunes
    Converting them to .aiff audio and use this in movie projects solves this.
    Else (some stray ideas)
    1. *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    2. *No audio on DVD disc.*
    Most common origin:
    1 Imported audio from iTunes:
    • In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    Before burning the DVD:
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD:
    Burn at x1 speed:
    • In iDVD08 - or -
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
