IMovie problem - shaky video after exporting

I'm trying to make a DVD from some video I shot of a wedding. The movie looks great in iMovie 09, and I simply want to burn it to a disk. The problem is that some of the video clips in the movie become terribly shaky after I export it to iDVD or to QuickTime. I don't know how to stop this - I have the movie just the way I want it in iMovie, but it's practically worthless once I export it. The video is from a new Samsung HD camcorder, model HMX-H200. I think I shot the video in HD. I'm using iMovie 09 and iDVD version 7.0.4. Would appreciate any suggestions!

Nope -- you have your answer.
Sounds like you want to put data files (movies) onto a data holder and play it from there.
I like File - Export - Quicktime Conversion - Change Default to BROADBAND HIGH and hit the options button and change the SIZE to 480x270 if you want widescreen or leave it as is for 4:3.
Those should play fine on data media like a CD or a data dvd.
NOW -- if what you really want is your media saved on a DVD so you can play it on a set top DVD player (or any dvd player for that matter....) that's another story.
Is THAT what you want to do?
Else - pull the media you've saved on the DATA media and put it on your HD... will play fine from there.

Shaky Video after export

Hello. I've posted on this before, but havent quite found my answer.
I have video with some motion in it that looks shaky when I burn it to DVD. Someone suggested that I try adding the De-Interlace filter to correct it, but that doesnt seem to be it. I can watch the video from FCE on a TV going thru my camera and it looks fine (with or without the De-interlace filter). But when I export the video as a self contained movie, then pull it in to toast, and burn a DVD, the motion looks bad on the DVD. I also tried going thru iDVD, and there it looked even worse.
This problem is new to me. I've had video with motion before and didnt have this issue.
Any ideas????
Thanks!

I also read your earlier posts on this topic.
From your description I'd exclude de-interlacing and the field dominance problem: you detect these issues before burning if you Print to Video or playback through the firewire connection to a interlaced TV. And you did that.
So export might be the problem. Let me however suggest a test to check if the Export process from FCE or the burning process by Toast or iDVD is the issue.
After export you could try to open the exported .mov (with Export/QuickTime Movie !) using QT Pro, open the property window (cmd-J), select the video track, open the view settings (or something alike, I have the Italian version...) and check High Quality. Then in the main window if you go through the shaky part frame by frame (right arrow) you should see how each frame looks:
- If a frame has a comb effect (due to the fact that its 2 fields have different timing) that's not necessarily bad: what you see is interlacing, that should be correctly handled by the playback device (whether through firewire from FCE or when recorded on DVD).
- But if frames jump back and forth, then you might have a field dominance problem.
If interlacing or field dominance is a problem, however as I said above, you should see it also when you watch the movie connected to a TV.
To cross check, in FCE you can set the canvas window to 100% (no more e no less) and repeat the frame by frame test I suggest above in QT Pro: if the behaviour is the same the problem is in the use of Toast or iDVD, if they behave differently in FCE (better) and QT (worse), then Export is the culprit.
This doesn't solve your issue, but it might help in understand it.
I hope I did not confuse your ideas...

Problem with video after exporting

Hey, I finished my project and exported it to a quicktime file and it looks really good and plays fine. My problem is that every time I try to put it on a CD, DVD or memory card it always plays fine for a few seconds then freezes as the audio keeps going. Then I can skip ahead and it will play a little more then freeze and glitch a lot.
I don't even know if this is final cut related, but does anyone know what the problem is?
I am exporting another version to try but it takes a while.
Thanks
Spencer

Problem with video after export

This problem just started. I've learned to export via compressor. The only thing I've done differently, I think, is select "De-Interlace"... but I don't really think that's the problem. I could be wrong. Anyway... when opening this file in quicktime, it is fine. See here:
When I go into full screen, this happens:
Oh no! What happened? I want to burn some DVDs to send to film festivals and stuff like this makes me nervous. What did I do?

Hey Bakak,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you keep getting a message to authorize your computer when trying to transfer applications to your iPhone. Here is an article on things that may cause this. I suspect that the section "Authorize using the correct account name" may be most relevant. It is possible that you have multiple Apple IDs and iTunes accounts.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

Audio problems in iMovie11 after exporting

Hey everyone!
I have been suffering from a problem that I have no clue how to fix. So I created my video 9min long with all sorts of stuff (logos, various songs, voicerovers, detached audio, attached audio haha, cutaway picture, etc etc) and everything is fine with the sound while its still in the library. The movie is made and ready to export. BUT when I export and create a .mov file (HD 780 or 1080) the sound gets messed up and sudden gaps of silence appear out of nowhere. Usually those gaps appear at the end of the clip. Also the more I export the movie the more problems it appears to have..... So now besides the silence gaps, in 2 scenes the sound goes like you're under water for a second or so, and then goes back to normal. AGAIN this happens ONLY after exporting. Before rendering everything is fine on my imovie, sound is in tact and whatnot. But after exporting I face these issues that I have to solve somehow..
Please help someone, it's urgent!
Thank you in advance.

Extract, or detach, the audio and make sure the audio is in sync.

Small black bars on the top and bottom on video after exporting?

I'm using 1280x720 video footage in Adobe Premiere. The problem is, whenever I export my finished project as 1280x720, the newly rendered file has small black bars on the top and bottom.
These black bars are not there in the Premiere preview, only after the project is rendered.
The video file created after export is still 1280x720(16:9).
Is there any way to get rid of these black bars, as they are quite irritating because I make youtube videos regularly.

FAQ: How do I get rid of black bars around my movie?

Black video after exporting sequence in FCP7 - help please!

hello,
So i'm not doing anything new - i've edited my clips as usual, settings are all as usual, but after i export the finished sequence and try to play it back, all i get is a black screen, with audio, for the entire duration of the sequence.
in the canvas it plays back fine, theres nothing to render, i've tried both with H.264 and Apple prores 422 HQ and nothing, i have tried to export as QT and also using QT conversion, checked the video settings there, all good, the video is rendered, also i checked the video processing in settings, used both render in RGB and render in 8 bit YUV, but no luck.
and i dont think it has to do with in and out points because the black video I get IS the duration of the audio, and the whole sequence for the matter.
The only thing I am wondering about is that I added some png files to make "gifs" over the video - I exported this same video BEFORE adding the pngs and everything was fine, but it is after adding these still images that the whole video goes black after exporting. But I have done similar projects before, with the same type of files, and I have never gotten this problem.
note; there are only a few of these still images scattered over the sequence, the majority of the video doesnt have these pngs over, but it is the whole of the video that goes black after exporting.
Can someone help me please, i dont know what else to give a go at and i cant find answers to my problem online!
many thanks.

Could be your sequence is corrupt. Create a new sequence with the same settings and copy everything from the old sequence to the new sequence.
If you need help with this post back.

Problem with videos after upgrading to iTunes 9.0?

Something went wrong with my videos after I upgraded to iTunes 9.0! The videos are twice as long as they were originally. Let's say this video was actually 1 minute long. It is now 2 minutes long. For the first minute it plays normally, then for the second minute, it just repeats itself, but with no sound.
Is anyone having this problem? I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, but that didn't help at all. Help!

@atpcliff,
You mean, the vids you purchased from the official iTunes store does not play on iTunes itself....?? :O :O That shocks me to the core. May be the DRM-protection present in the files you purchased previously does not support the newest version of iTunes. Try calling the Apple support for help and explain them your situation. Otherwise, you might have to roll back to the previous working version of iTunes for those videos to play, since they wont play on other video players anyways.
@threadstarter,
Hmm...Is your issue fixed by now ? Any work-arounds ? I suggest you try this : Uninstall all Apple products installed in your computer, like iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Mobile Support, Apple Software Update, Safari Web Browser etc. If you have trouble in uninstalling them, try uninstalling them in safe-mode. IMPORTANT : Take a back-up of all the files you purchased from iTunes Store. Now use CC Cleaner and remove all registry logs related to Apple products. Restart your comgputer in between each of these steps. Now install the latest versions of all the products afresh. I think this should work. Do revert.

Problems streaming video (after 5-10 mins)

Hi,
I used to have no problems streaming video (hulu, espn3 etc), but recently my quality starts dropping out after 5-10 mins. It starts off fine but then the video starts getting jumpy then the audio starts to fuzz out. If I refresh the browser and even restart. the problem can still be there.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there any chance that this not an issue with my computer, but with my internet connection?
Thanks!

I too am having this same issue. I have only started having it after installing Lion. I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video. I have no solutions!

Lost video after exporting audio from mpeg-4

I have some mpeg-4 files of my band and wished to improve the audio. I chose the Export Audio option and yes, managed to create an audio only file but seem to have lost the video. Have I lost it permanently or is it still lurking somewhere? I suspect that I might have to reimport this particular file so having done this how would you recommend splitting the audio and video, editing the audio (I use Logic 9) and then putting them back together? Or is there another option?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You could do this in either iMovie or GarageBand.
I would open a new GarageBand Instrumental Project. Drag your TV show file into GarageBand. Then save the project to an audio only codec such as AAC or MP3.
In iMovie, you would use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and pick an audio only codec.

Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

I have the same problem!
Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro) two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
Can anyone help?

Sound Problem with Imovie09 after export to idvd

Hi !
When I export my project to IDVD, I've got problem with the soundtrack of my project,the original sound of my videos disappear, I can hear "ghost" sounds (like wind) of my videos but at wrong place in the project. It doesn't appear in the timeline of imovie.
Can someone help me ?

Hi, Paul,
iMovie 'renders' slo-mo in a way that you don't really want--as you discovered. So, get your movie into iDVD without letting iMovie render it. Try doing it this way:
Instead of sending your iMovie to iDVD from within iMovie, close iMovie.
Open iDVD, and create a new project. Click on the 'custom' button, and navigate to the 'Media' tab. Select 'Movies' and find your iMovie in the little window. Drag it onto the iDVD screen. Be sure not to put it into a drop zone. Then, make the titles and buttons the way you wish.
Save the DVD as disk image. You can play that after it is finished to see if the sound is what you want. If so, go ahead and burn your DVD.
Hope this helps!!

IMovie sound quality changes after export and is terrible

when i export my imovie the sound quality becomes bad and sounds like my speakers are blown but their not, it sounds perfectly fine in imovie but after its exported it changes to worse, anyone know how to fix this?

Check your audio levels. and if necessary, reduce the levels so that the audio stays under the 0 DB line. If you have audio that is yellow or red, reduce the level. This video shows an example of how to do this. Click on the video All New Audio Editing."
