Help on using Export Settings

Hello
Supposably by using "Export Settings >> Use Another Excel File" during export of a visualization would generate a flash file with the data defined on the "Use Another Excel File" file specification.
All the tests I have performed this feature does not work at all.
What am I doing wrong? Does this feature actually works or it has a BUG?
What is the idea behind this configuration and how the data is actually swaped by using the other spreadsheet data?
Regards
BKA

Andy
Thanks for the reply but from my tests it still does not work. Or maybe I did not understand the functionality it is trying to implement.
From my understanding if we use this feature than when I press PREVIEW or export it to PowerPoint the data that xCelisus uses to generate the view comes directly from the EXCEL file specified in the entry
EXPORT SETTINGS >> USE ANOTHER EXCEL FILE
Thus if we change a cell -- conected to a text box -- in the above excel file (not on the embedded Excel) this should reflect onto changes in the visualization. Thus the text box should now show the new value (not the value on the embedded excel).
This is the test I´m performing and the result is always the value actually stored in the embedded excel (thus the feature is not working).....

Please help me with export settings and format

I'll try to explain my problem the best I can. I recently captured some footage from old VHS tapes to use in a Christmas video. I imported one of the MPGs that I captured to AE and applied a grain removal plus a couple other lighting effects to the video to improve the quality as well as I could. When I went to export it (through the render que) I found myself confronted with a huge amount of format options and after doing some reading online thought a Quicktime .MOV file with Photo JPEG compression would give me a reasonable size video but after doing the math (an a bit of the rendering) realized that my 2 hour video, that was originally only around 6GB was being converted into a .MOV file that was around 80GB, which is too large for my HDD. Now, I would love to go out and purchase a 1TB SSD right now but I can't currently afford it. I need to end up with a file as close to the original file size as possible but with the grain removed, and the highest quality (for the file size) and just need to know the best settings to use to accomplish that. I looked around for several hours and couldn't find a quick and easy answer like "just export a MPEG 2 file" with ..... settings. The file is going to be imported into Premiere for final edit with several others that are probably going to need the same adjustments. It will then be exported to a 1080p BluRay (with an HD photo slideshow). Also I am using Production Premium CS4, if that makes any difference.
Any quick tips about the grain removal effect would be greatly appreciated as well. I'm currently using a removal amount of .8 with the effect running 6 passes. I also changed the texture setting under "fine tuning" to .4. It's a little blury but MUCH better than grainy, and about as good as I can expect from a 25 year old VHS. If you've used this effect before and know a couple little tweaks I could apply to make the video a little sharper (without the grain) that would be amazing.
Thanks in advance.

The file size is defined by bitrate. The winners among production codecs regard to 'quality / render time / file size' ratio, DNxHD and ProRes, utilise almost identical bitrate: up to 440 Mbps while encoding with 4:4:4 colour subsampling and up to 220 Mbps while encoding to 4:2:2. Do some math, and you'll end up with 90-200 GB/hour.
So, the only option to save on disk space is to utilise highly compressed codec like H.264. With target bitrate set to 100 Mbps (you can set the bitrate in the Export Settings dialog) the quality loss might look affordable (don't remember if you can encode to Level 5 on CS4 though).
If you eventually choose H.264 (working with which on CS4 might in turn result in a nightmare), do not export to H.264 from AE directly. Export to H.264 via AME...

Need help with the export settings on FCPX

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X from Express and am loving all the new features and capabilities that come with it. I just helped a friend with filming and editing a play at his school. After I finished editing it, the final MOV file is about 11 GB. Pretty big. When I try to put that file into iDVD to try to burn a DVD, my Mac begins to heat up really fast and I'm worried that this might overheat the processor.
I've tried other means of compressing the file without losing quality, like Handbrake, but to no avail.

I assume, your Project is ~20min, correct?
You exported a Master File = proRes, FCPX' internal intermediate codec, not meant for 'distribution'.
Choose one of the 'Apple device' presets in the share dialogue, in the drop-down options, change device to 'computer' to create a 'universal' mp4.
concerning 'heat':
Don't use your laptop in bed while doing tasks with high computation.
The bottom of device is needed for cooling.
Any 'soft' surface prohibits that…
If Mac really gets too hot, it will automatically switch-off - no worries..........

FCP X DV Export Settings

I need help with some export settings for DV in FCP X
I've downloaded the 30 trial. I'm working with a DV clip that's about 10 minutes long. I'd like to export the finished moved to a file format so I can brun it to a DVD and send to relatives, etc.
I've tried exporting to quicktime using current settings, changing it to progressive, even exporting to h.264. In each case, I get different and undesirable results. Sometimes the footage is interlaced to the point where it is very obvious (sometimes it's so bad it's unwatchable). Sometimes the footage is "shimmery" or jumpy. My comparison point is the same film I exported to QT years ago using FCE 4. None of these exports look close to that level of picture quality.
I was hoping to use FCP X because of it's similiarity to iMovie '11 and because of the single field processing problem affectinf the quality of DV footage with iMovie '08-'11 exports. But I can't seem to get the export settings right. I'm sure it's just a minor issue.
I really need some guidance on the right DV Export settings, as I have almost 100 hours of familiy footage in DV and was hoping to see improved picture quality if I used FCP X.
I'm using a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2.53ghz processor with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB 7200rpm HD.
Thanks,
Bryan

Well, here's an interesting phenomenon. Until now, I have just been working on VHS-DV transfers for DVD end point. I haven't thrown any HD stuff at a DVD yet (except for an experiment on the pretty useless FCPX DVD export.)
All of those VHS projects have required chapters, so I just export media -> DV as we have discussed here. There was one 15 min segment I pulled out and made as a separate DVD for a friend. All of these have been SD and life is good.
Just finished a 720p project. Shared one copy out for my iPad, then went thru the proper project settings for DV Anamorphc and did the Export Media -> DV. Checked it in QTP and saw it was 853x480 as expected. Ran it straight to iDVD since I didn't need Chapt Markers. Made 5 copies and last night proudly played it for the recipients. The sucker was squished to 4:3 (yes, iDVD project was set for 16:9). That'll teach me to not play the DVD first.
Couldn't change it in QTP cuz it was already 853x480. Had to run it thru FCE first to get the 720x480 out, and then thryu QTP to change it back to 853x480.
Just thot I'd come over here and mention it.
As an additional observation, it was interesting to see that the iDVD result was no different for theVHS-DV project SD (640x480 out) whether I ran it thru FCE (720x480 out) or not.

Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
Hello,
I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7. Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc. But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed. As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec. I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD. I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000. My audio is set at AAC.
It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline. I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export. The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
I could really use could some wisdom today!
Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

FCE-HD export settings for slideshow

Hey dear specialists,
I need to have a help for the export settings for a slideshow
I am using FCE-HD 4.01 on either MacBookPro with Mountain Lion or on my old G5 with 10.6
Input are slides in JPEG with 15MByte Pixel.
As soon as I am using transition of a picture the result in export in all setting I can choose from FCE, which I found out is very bad, because picture has the interlacing effects at the borders
What can I change to get a good result
Thanks in advance for the feedbacks
Best regards
FJ
N.b.: screenshot abstract >>>> see right hand video lines

Hey Russ,
the video rate of the object does not change when I manipulate on the easy setting
If I import pictures, I do this directly from pircture folder into the BIN, and that should be independently from video input setting
The frame rate should also not be a problem for me here in Germany, because working directly from MAC to flatscreen
I put you a screenshot of the new sequence
The Mov output looks not that bad, even if one looks into detail see picture attached, the steps between one and next frame creates problems
I try also to send you the latest version of a slide transiltion example in iPhone quality ( this can not be attached ) it is a 2MB file. If you like I send you by email.
looks a bit improved vs the morning, but I do not feel confident.
What do you think?
Best regards and will come back tomorrow

What are the best export settings to use...

Operating system: Vista SP1
Camera: Canon HF100 (1900x1080 HD quality 29.97fps) -- uses AVCHD compression which is H.264 I believe.
I'm able to watch my camera video files in Vista nicely. However, I'm having trouble with the watching the results of my edited and exported videos. Assuming I want the same quality and playability as the source video, what settings should I use in the export?
In the export settings window... I select:
Format: H.264
Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
Source files have the extension: .m2ts
...I don't change the other values. Then I export. Now the result is an .mp4 file which does not play in Windows Media Player. It does play in Quicktime or iTunes however it plays jerkily... I would like to be able to play it as smoothly as the original source plays... And I'd like to be able to play it in windows media player just as the source can be played in media player. Media player seems to play the source more smoothly than does iTunes or Quicktime.
So what are the best export settings for me so that I can watch my edited HD video on my computer as easily as the source footage???
I've been able to edit and save the results of the edit using the crappy ImageMixer3 video editor that comes with the camera. The results are perfect and play in windows media fine. The files it exports the edited video as is the same as the soure... the file extension is .m2ts
So the problem is how to get Adobe to export the edited video to an .m2ts file or at least to a file type that plays as nicely in my system?

See
Exporting to iPods, cell phones, PSPs and other mobile devices in the PPro Help for details.

Forum FAQ

Please help with highest quality export settings...

I have searched the forum and web for hours (no joke!) and I am still trying to figure out what are the best video settings to give me the highest HD quality video in daylight. I am using a Canon HF200 and the latest updated version of FCE. My problem is that I am unable to produce an HD quality video at 1920 x 1080 Full HD without being "jagged". I have two questions; what do you suggest to be the best FCE import and export settings to produce the best HD video, and what settings do you have your HF200 set to (for normal daylight conditions), to produce the best HD video file? The file will be played directly thru my computer to a plasma HDTV.
I have tried several settings, but using anything above 1280x720 16:9, makes the video "jagged". Again, I don't care about the size of the file or how long it takes, I just want the best. Is there something I am missing?
My FCP settings are the following:
I log and transfer the video from the camera into FCP (on a black MacBook; 2.16 GHz with 4 GB RAM) using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i source. I then export the video using the following:
Export using "Quicktime Conversion".
Quicktime options video settings are:
Frame Rate set to "Current"
Key Frames set to every "24" frames
Compressor quality: "best" (Encoding set to "best quality")
Data Rate set to "automatic"
Quicktime options video size are:
"HD 1280 x 720 16:9" (anything higher produces the jags!)
Deinterlace source video is NOT checked
My Canon HF 200 settings are the following:
- P mode
- FXP (17 Mbps)
- 60i framerate
all others are set to the normal default
I have read some reports saying the above is good and others suggesting changing FXP to MXP (24 Mbps) and/or the framerate from 60i to PF30. I don't care about the size of the file, I just want the highest quality HD file.
Any suggestions for the best FCE settings and/or HF200 settings would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for your help,
Evan

Thanks again for the feedback
Let me try my best to answer the above (I'm new at all this and I appreciate you guys taking the time to try and help me out).
First off, I tried rendering and that did not help.
Here is my sequence. I am not going into FCE from the camera directly. I have archived the video file from the camera using iMovie (as well as just making an exact copy of the camera files; they both appear to me to be the exact same, both can be logged and transferred into FCE, and both files give me a jagged FCE result).
Once I log and transfer the file(s), I then take the clip and add it to a sequence file (rendering or not rendering the clip(s) at this point does not make a difference), and then click/highlight the sequence file in the browser and export it.
As for "editing the video in a 1920x1080i60 sequence", I think I am. I am not doing any editing to the clip. It is logged and transferred using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i and then exported using either as a Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion (set for 1920 x 1080 using H.264 compression; both ways still result in a jagged video).
That's about it...log and transfer, add clip to sequence, and then export sequence...
I hope this answers the above, but if not, I apologize; I'm still learning!
Also, if I use iMovie, with similar export (share) settings, I get a non-jagged video (I have tried with deinterlacing and not deinterlacing, and both video results are fine)
Thanks again,
Evan

Exporting Using Expert Settings Problem

When I try exporting using expert settings, which is pretty much necessary, any video that I export, in just about any format, but usually .mov or .mp4 looks very strange. Any moving objects appear to be broken up by horizontal lines. I do not know much about these sorts of issues, but I'm guessing it's a problem with the frame rate. I've tried just about every frame rate and nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help!
P.S. Same thing happens when exporting from iMovie!

It means the timeline settings. If your project is DV, then it will export a DV quality file. If your settings are Offline RT, it will export an offline RT formatted Quicktime...if they are 8-bit uncompressed, an 8-bit uncompressed QT...etc. And the same frame rate as well, 23.98, 29.97 and so on.
It basically means that no further compression is occurring.

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.

What export settings do I use to creat a .mov from a .MTS file?

Hello!
I have a .MTS file that needs to be exported to a .mov file for online submission guidelines. The picture quality is bad when there is movement. I inserted screen shots of the codecs for the native .MTS files and the export settings I used for a .mov files. I played around with the settings a lot. Thank you so much to anyone who helps, I really appreciate it :¬)

I will drink to that...

Help! Best SD export settings for web CS4

Hello and thank you in advance for your help. I'm a newbie here and have read through many posts on exporting and found some good information here for creating a master http://forums.adobe.com/message/3005601. But, I am searching for export settings to send a 3:30 min. video to a client to upload to a website and you tube that is high resolution but not too huge of a file.

I'v read all over the internet for decent export settings for mpg but cant find any. Please help.

Hai!
I have been searching for good export settings to use as I export my mpg files in adobe premier cs4
But all my results are so crapy!
I can see they are good in premiere, but after export they are as bad as if I would use windows movie maker.
I found that AVI uncompressed only gives out the sound, no images.
Avi compressed gives that bad look.
QT animation gives also bad look.
Mp4 got a max resolution of 340 x 240, so we not even gona discust that one..
My movies are in native MOD files. I convert em by simply changing the extension to mpg
720x576 resolution
25 fps
48k Hz compressed audio
Any more info needed?
Thanks alot for helping me, I really looked at many threads and stuff
over internet to find a solution but i couldn't.
This is really urgent, the movie MUST be done within 2 days. Or else i get an F

>My movies are in native MOD files. I convert em by simply changing the extension to mpg
You are starting with compressed files... and then you compress again... that is a DOUBLE hit on quality
You might try some other software (no, I don't know which one) to edit your files and export without re-compressing

Help choosing capture,sequence and export settings?

Hello, Im new to Final Cut. Im using final cut pro 6.0.2 and trying to teach my self the basics of this program. I Shoot with a Canon GL2 in the 16:9 setting and I'm not sure what the optimal settings are for the sequence, capture and export settings. Someone recommended the DV NTSC anamorphic for capture and sequence settings which seems to work fine except when I export to QT movie it appears to be displaying in 4:3 instead of how it previews which is 16:9. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi CJ,
Welcome to the discussion agora,
...the DV NTSC anamorphic for capture and sequence settings which seems to work fine except when I export to QT movie it appears to be displaying in 4:3 instead of how it previews which is 16:9.
That's normal. Are you watching it in QT? QT displays square pixels while your movie has rectangular ones.
Go to QT main menu>Window>show movie properties>presentation check box and change *conform aperture*.
