Help!! The lenght of my quicktime file is different when I import it to fcp

So I have a project on fcp. 23.98 fps. total length 1 hour.. I exported a quicktime file at 'current frame rate'. THe outputted quicktime shows that the length is 1hour and 5 seconds. When I import this quicktime back into final cut - the lenght goes back to 1 hour.
Can someone plese tell me what is happening???

OK, so i figured it has something to do with the frame rate. I am editing in 23.98. when i edit in 29.97 then the quicktime file has same length. BUT... why should qt length change when i output from a 23.98 version AND the qt file is playing at 23.98?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

  • I dont know how to get rid of the black bars on the sides of my videos. The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts them there

    The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts black bars on the sides of my video and i cant get rid of them

    Here's my final (and simple diagnosis) You have 4 x 3 footage that your are trying to screen at 16:9. This won't work.
    Artistically, you have three options:
    1.) Stay with the "black bars." What some of us call "Bat Wings," in the biz.
    2.) Do what some editors do and create a large "fuzzy" background to extend the edges...
    3.) Or transform / crop the image. (Or just use the "fill" option in the "Spatial Transform" section of the inspector
    But... You WILL lose some of the image

  • HELP! Can not play quicktime files and no audio when it does!!!

    i tried opening a .mov file and the message said "you are missing a component that is necessary to open...blah, blah." then it gave me the link to the quicktime site for the 3rd party filters...but which one do i need? there were several and i have no idea. plus, the audio thing is making me mad.
    quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime and that corrected my video problem. but now i'm having all this other stuff. and help will do. thank you.

    "quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime"
    You lost me.
    I have never heard of an "iTunes" install disk. Where did you get this disk from?
    The latest version of QuickTime is v7.1.3. Is this the version you currently have?

  • Putting the name of a Quicktime file in the txt track?

    I want to take a list of files and take the names and place the name in the txt track of the Quicktime. For instace if a shot is named "454-44.mov" I want to place 454-44 in the txt track of the Quicktime. Is this possible?

    I've given that a try, but to no avail: the collection of scripts you can download from the applescript/quicktime page errors out when you try to change elements from the txt track. I've posted a question to my AS user list, but no response until now. I'll keep you updated if I get anymore info.

  • The waveform of output from file is different from original one

    I've a new question about displaying a waveform from a text file. The waveform which its data is from file is different from the original one.
    I attached image files which included my two vi files and 3 waveform. In the compressed file, "ReadData_Waveform1.jpg" is a image of waveform from "ReadData.jpg" vi file with the configuration of "Transpose" is True,
    "ReadData_Waveform2.jpg" is a image of waveform from "ReadData.jpg" vi file with the configuration of "Transpose" is False,
    "WriteData_Waveform.jpg" is a image of waveform from "WriteData.jpg" vi file.
    I attached the source file of waveform with text format as well.
    Please help me to solve this question if there is anyone who can figure it out.
    Thanks, Andy.

    Hi Andy
    If you transpose the data when you write it, you also have to transpose it when you read it.
    Just have a look at the simple example attached. I write data and read it again. Each file operation is called with the default-value for transpose (false). The data is read correctly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imported quicktime files lose resolution when exported from FCE

    I am having trouble with quicktime files losing resolution after I add titles and transitions to them in FCE.
    I'm doing some video morphing so I use different software to create the quicktime files, and then I import them into FCE in order to add titles and transitions, and then I want to export again as quicktime files.
    The problem is, when I export the completed movies from FCE, the quicktime file section of the movies ends up being a much lower resolution than when I had imported it. I am using all the same compression settings throughout: Sorenson 3, Best, Frame rate 15 fps. The movies are 1001x751 in size.
    Any ideas on how to get the movies to come out as crisp and hi res as the original clips?
    Thanks.
    FCE 2.0.3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  
    FCE 2.0.3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Quicktime 7.0.4

    Sorenson 3 is a web compression codec. You need to create your videos in DV NTSC at 720x480 at the 29.97fps. That the format that's specified in FCE.
    All the best,
    Tom

  • What is the best way to move files to different folders in a plug-in?

    I am writing a plug-in that needs to move files on the hard drive.  I am using LrFileUtils.move(from, to) and everything is fine except that the catalog is not updated when the file is moved.  After the plug-in runs I can use Library > Synchronize Folder to get the catalog back in sync with the new locations of the photos on the drive, but this manual step is less than ideal. 
    I am unable to find a way to move the files within the plug in that also updates the catalog (like dragging photos to a new location within the LR Navigator pane).  Lacking an API for this, I looked for a way to programmatic execute the Synchronize Folder menu item, but was not able to find this either..
    Can anyone recommend a better way to move photos to different folders within a plug-in that also updates the catalog?

    Hi Andy,
    There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
    ASCII
    Binary
    Datalog
    ASCII
    ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
    Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
    You will not need to perform random access file I/O
    File I/O speed is not crucial
    Disk space is not crucial
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
    Binary
    Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
    inary files when:
    File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
    Files are smaller than ASCII files
    Easier and faster random access to data
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
    Datalog
    When to use datalog:
    If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
    Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
    Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
    Good luck!

  • TIFF & JPEG renders of RAW files appear different when viewed in Bridge

    I am working with the demo of Photoshop CS6, with ACR 7.1. CS6 System Info will appear at the bottom of this post. Summary: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T, 16GB RAM, Win7-64bit, nVidia GTX 460 video w/1GB RAM, approx. 2.5 TB free space on multiple internal physical drives, Canon 50D, CR2 files. I have a camera profile generated through Profile Editor, and the monitor is calibrated with i-1 Match.
    I have been practicing with the new Basic Panel controls (Process 2012). When I felt that I was getting the hang of them I started saving JPEG and TIFF files and noticed differences between what appears in Bridge and ACR. I worked on this for some time and searched out some other discussions in the Forum which seemed to talk about similar results. I have now tried Image Processor via Bridge, Save Image in ACR, and Open>Save manually in PS CS6. By whatever route, the TIFFs and JPEGs are different (lighter in the following examples, but this is not always the case), while PSD saves seem to be close, but not identical to the CR2 when viewed in Bridge or Photoshop. Here is a screen capture of Bridge thumbnails which show the differences.
    I hope the labels come through legibly. The two images on the second row are CR2 and PSD respectively. What is really odd to me is that when I resaved the PSD file as a TIFF, the same sort of difference shows up in the TIFF. (See _MG_7960_via_PSD.tif above.) I have uploaded the CR2, its XMP, a TIFF and a JPEG on Sendspace (107 MB). I did this earlier in my experiments and regret that the file naming is not as informative as might be.
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/t0lhko
    I have run a few other ACR adjusted CR2 images through Image Processor and seen a variety of differences between the rendered files and the RAW versions. The differences seem to be in Exposure and Contrast. Most of these looked somewhat darker, unlike the examples above.
    I will happily provide any other information on request. Thanks!

    Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
    Thanks again,
    Kieren
    EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
    Many thanks!

  • Bridge is opening all of my RAW files as jpegs when I import them from iPhoto

    I have set my iPhoto preferences to send my RAW photos as RAW when using an external editor. If I only use ACR, this works fine, but if I want to use CS4 they are all coming over as jpegs and I then have to work w them as jpegs. I have PSE 8 . Do I have to do something before I open CS4 to have them come over in RAW format?

    Not Very familiar with iPhoto but I think you do confuse two approaches for
    your files. If you choose to work from iPhoto it takes the originals but
    when using Bridge it might be an exported version in jpeg.
    If you have PSE 8 with Bridge CS4 I would suggest you make a choice in
    workflow and use Bridge as starting point. You can import your Raw files in
    Bridge using Photodownloader (get photo's from Camera in Bridge) preferable
    use a card reader for this.
    And/or copy the older original Raw files to a new folder.
    You can find the originals that have been imported using iPhoto in the
    picture folder/iphoto library. Click on the icon and with right mouse click
    choose show package content. In this new window you will see a file called
    originals with subfolders. Inhere find the ones you want and copy them to a
    new folder from your choice (either in the picture folder or elsewhere, but
    obvious not in the package window for iPhoto, you won't see them after you
    closed the package content window...)
    Choose copy because in this way your iPhoto library and folder structure
    stays as it is.
    Now point Bridge to the folder with this copied files and let it cache the
    files first (takes some time).
    With this workflow you can manage your Raw files (rate, rename, adding
    metadata and keywords etc.) and develop them in ACR and PSE. If you do want
    to use the album structure from iPhoto you can choose to save your developed
    files either as jpeg or tiff and place them in iPhoto.
    It might be a better workaround because iPhoto is not the best application
    to handle and develop Raw files, you have a lot more options in Bridge and
    PSE

  • Video file size triples when transferred from camera into FCP

    I recorded about 16gb of video in avchd on a canon hf10. When I import it into fcp6 using pro ress 422, the file sizes are enormous, about 100 gb from the original 16. How did this happen and how do I shrink my finished project it back down to fit on a dvd. I used compressor and Mpeg2 and got it down to 3.7gb but the quality was horrendous. I used compressor and h.264 and it took 24 hours then crashed before finishing.
    using a canon vixia hf10, and FCP 6.
    Thanks!

    AVCHD is not a convenient format for editing so FCP converts it to ProRes which as you have discovered is around 50GB for an hour of footage.
    ProRes enables it to be edited more easily and with better quality.
    The size in gigabytes of your project is completely irrelevant  .  .  .  .  it could be a terabyte with no problems.
    All that matters is the length (time) of the project  .  .  .  .  as long as it is no more than a couple of hours or so you will have no problems fitting it onto a DVD as iDVD or DVD Studio Pro etc. will compress it all down to around 4GB  to fit.

  • FILE SIZES DIFFERENT WHEN UPLOADING

    I'm almost bald from pulling my hair out!!! I have exported photos to my harddrive as jpegs that are less than 1mb but when I try to upload them for an assignment on the school website they are 25 mb??

    How are you uploading the files?   Could it be you’re uploading the original RAW or DNG files which could be 25MB?
    Perhaps provide some screen-captures of the properties of the JPG where it says its 1MB and the properties of the uploaded photo that says 25MB, with enough of the surrounding screen context to make sense of the numbers.

  • Is there a way to shrink the size of a quicktime file? NO SOUND?

    Whenever I try to share the item, there's no sound. Whenever I try export, same result Does anyone know the settings to export from quicktime pro that will preserve the sound? I've tried this on two different computers. I have a 16.9 meg file and I want to reduce it so I can upload it to the web. Please help. Thanks.

    If it's a muxed MPEG, you need to use MPEG Streamclip to export it; no setting in QuickTime Pro will preserve the sound. Click here for more information.

  • How to get a flv file to match the quality of a quicktime file?

    - here's a 400kbps flash video
    http://gelconference.com/mov/cc-flash-400kbps.html
    - here's the same footage at a *lower* bitrate, 391kbps, in
    quicktime
    http://gelconference.com/mov/cc.mov
    - QUESTION: why is the quicktime so much better-looking than
    the flash?
    what settings should i be using in flash to convert a dv file
    to an flv file?
    i prefer to show the footage in a flash player because it is
    cross platform.
    i appreciate any advice anyone has!

    Just thought i'd let you know, your links are broken so its
    hard to give you any advice. Depending on the pixel size of the
    movie, your data rate might be too low. The bigger pixel size of
    the file the higher data rate is needed to keep details clear and
    pixelation down.
    A good middle of the road data rate i've found is around
    1500kbps. If you are hosting the file, just make sure to set the
    buffer time to 3-4 seconds, to allow the users internet connection
    to keep ahead.

  • Help, the last part of my file goes missing

    I am adjusting my file so it fits a certain length. for example, 20 characters per line (the length is not fixed). I broke down the file into words and put it in an Arraylist(al), I check the length of the line and add a word if it is not over the limit then put the line in another ArrayList(adjLines) if the next word will cause it to exceed the limit. It is doing the job except for the last line where some words get cut-off so I'm wondering, what did I overlook in my code???
    StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(maxLength);
              String temp = "";
              int idx = 0;
              while(idx < al.size())
                   temp = al.get(idx);
                   if ((str.length() + temp.length()) <= maxLength) // FIX ADJUSTMENTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!
                        str.append(temp + " ");
                        idx++;
                   else
                        adjLines.add(str.toString().trim());
                        str.delete(0,str.capacity());
                 adjLines.add(temp)

    Change the last line toadjLines.add(str.toString().trim());db
