How can I export a Video without making it darker than the original file?

Hi there!
I'm working on a footage shot with the Canon 5D and since the first step in the post I exported the raw footage with Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and worked with it in After Effects and later on FCP and then the usual Color and Compressor. But somehow every time I exported it, it got darker and darker... I tried using Animation codec instead of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and it didn't get dark but the files are HUGE and in the end I have to export the video in H.264 for internet. Does anybody out there have any idea what should I do and which compression should I use and how?
Thanks a lot!
Davi

When you say you exported the raw footage... are you working with native H.264s in FCP?

    Export with Current Settings if you are already working uncompressed. Otherwise, Send to Compressor, and choose the codec you want there.

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

  • Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

    Hi! Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

    Wild guess: you're using the the wrong export settings. You'll need to tell us more before we can help you - like the export settings you're usng, the size and format of the originals etc.

  • Lightroom displays files and exports files darker than the original or from Photoshop

    Hello all.
    I would first like to preface this by stating I am not technically minded, and I know nothing (or very little) of ICC profiles etc.
    Though assume someone will attempt to tell me to do something with them in a really technical way which I won't understand, please treat me like a 4 year child in this regard.
    I am using Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac running 10.9.4 I have CS6 Photoshop and have a Spyder 3pro calibration device and have linked all of the Adobe programs to the output of the calibration to "hopefully" ensure quality control.
    I recently have been scanning analogue film and importing this into Lightroom 5. I have noticed that the file imported always looks darker than the original.
    When I have exported from Lightroom them they look like crap.
    There are no import additional settings as they are all turned off. I did that when I installed LR.
    I have also noticed than whenever I imported a Raw file for some reason the original file would look great for a second then when clicked on would also change to something less appealing. But I digress.
    So in attempt to show what is happening. I have created some images to illustrate my problem.
    Also it does not matter if I turn the soft proofing on or off.
    Lightroom Softproof on
    Lightroom Softproof off
    Lightroom vs Photoshop Histogram - Very similar
    Left: File opened from Lightroom as the Original      Right: Original Photoshop File
    Left: File opened from an Export from Lightroom      Right: Original Photoshop File
    Any clues as this is very annoying and at the moment makes Lightroom 5 unusable.

    Can you put one of your scans somewhere, like www.dropbox.com, and post a public download/share link to it?   I'd like to try one of the scans on my computer, though, to see if it does the same thing.  You can crop an original down to something smaller that includes sky and trees like your screenshots show.
    I am guessing there is a gamma problem or a profile problem somewhere.  What Profile do the scans have embedded in them from the scanner?  You can turn on the three Ask checkboxes in your color-settings and see what it says when you open an original in Photoshop.
    My guess is that LR is using a default profile that doesn't match what Photoshop is using, but perhaps there is a gamma issue, too.
    Have you tried opening one of the originals in the Camera Raw plug-in, perhaps from Bridge or just from PS / File / Open.  You may have to set your PS Camera Raw settings to prefer ACR for TIFs.  ACR and LR should be about the same in file handling so it'd be interesting to see if that is the case.

  • How can I permanently clip video without changing filmstrip order?

    I have just recently upgraded from LR1.4 to 4.2 (Windows 7 OS) and one of the features I am most excited about is being able to work with video in LR. I started clipping videos but I know LR is non-destructive. This is great for my photography but with videos I am trying to actually make the files smaller by saving only the footage that I want. So I exported to the original folder and figured I could then just delete the original unclipped file and be all set. Only problem is the exported file now appears at the end of my filmstrip since it is dated today. If I stack it it goes with the original file, but since I was planning on deleting the original file that wont help me. This is different from the way photos behave (though I'm not exporting generally there, I'm editing a copy in photoshop, and that keeps the capture time metadata and thus stays in its appropriate spot in the filmstrip). I tried copying metadata from the original file or even manually changing capture time but nothing seems to be effective. Please help!

    I use a much, much older iMovie so I don't know exactly how the new one works, but until somebody else replies...  It may be re-encoding the whole .mp4 since some formats cannot be edited without doing that, and you would need to check something like format and quality settings to prevent it from saving to a much higher quality which won't actually make the quality any better than the original anyway.

  • Can't play libray 'could not be used b/c the original file can't be found"

    Dell Inspiron 9300   Windows XP  
    When I try to play the songs In my library I get an error message saying " could not be used because the original file could notbe found. Would you like to locate it?" This is the same for both my uploaded and purchased music. This happened all of a sudden and I don't know why. I did not remove any music files from my computer. Can anyone help me please?
    Dell Inspiron 9300   Windows XP  
    Dell Inspiron 9300   Windows XP  

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible.
    So, did you move or delete anything? Do you have any other software that might move things - such as another music player reorganising your files?
    You can use Windows Explorer to try and locate the music files, also look in the recycle bin.
    Windows search can also look for music files.
    Don't allow your iPod to synchronise as this may delete files from your iPod and you may need it to recover your music if the files really have gone from your HD.

  • Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

    I am running Mac OS X Panther.
    I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
    Problem is this.
    I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks
    J Slater

    jslat,
    It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
    This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1035.html
    littleshoulders [:-)
    edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

  • How can I get my videos without pay again ???

    I restored my Ipod Video with the Ipod Updater, and then lost some videos that purchased at the ipod store. how can I get without pay again ???

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Restoring erases everything on your iPod. The videos should still be in iTunes though.
    If they are not, then unfortunately, you have lost them.
    You may want to search the discussions for recovery methods though.

  • How can I export trimmed video clips from iPhoto?

    I have video clips from a kid's sporting event that I need to send to other parents on the team. I've got 73 clips that have been loaded from an SD card, and I've trimmed the length on about half of them.
    I'm trying to figure out the best way to export them from iPhoto. When I select 'Original', I get the full-size files, but they're not trimmed. I can drag and drop the clips from iPhoto to a folder, and I do get files that are trimmed correctly, but they're very small (around 12K), so I'm guessing that they link to files on my own hard drive, and won't work if I send them to somebody else.
    I am guessing that I could fix the problem manually by making a list of videos that I trimmed, opening each one of the 12K files files in QT Player, and saving that movie. This creates a full-size movie file which is the right file size for the trimmed portion. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this in a single batch operation. Is there a solution for this?

    You can't. Trimming inside iPhoto stays inside iPhoto. (Does that have a familiar ring to it?)  All trimming must be done outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player.  So export the clips to a folder on the Desktop and do the trimming there.

  • How do I export a video without a heavy blue cast

    I use imovie 3. I can download and edit my movies. The finished product looks good on the computer. However, when I export, the video has a very heavy blue cast even when viewing on the computer. But, if I export as an email or web file then the colour is ok but the quality is poor. I would like to copy some of my videos on to cd's with correct colours. Any ideas??

    You can only export in the same resolution that you imported.
    That is if you shot in 720p you cannot export in 1080p.
    Share > YouTube and select the highest resolution available.
