Importing FCE sequence to Quicktime movie to Idvd

I imported a FCE sequence to Quicktime movie, then into iDVD. Where I had made freeze frame images with cross fade transitions in FCE, when i previewed them in iDVD the transitions were "jumpy" in iDVD. Any suggestions?

Try deinterlacing the freeze frames in FCE.

Having difficulty exporting FCE sequence as Quicktime movie

I've completed a couple of short 5-6 minute FCE movies using FCE HD 3.0. I can't get them to export to Quicktime movies for placement on the desk top. Every time I try I get the "General error: Out of disk space" warning. I've got oodles of space on the hard drive. I looked through the manual and on page 853 it talks about managing disk space, stating that I might want to delete old render files. I'm not sure if this is relevant; there aren't that many render files. Anyway, I'm not at all easy about deleting render files any way; what if I want to go back and rework some clips? Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dan,
Use the Finder to check the space available on your system drive. Tell us exactly what size the disk is and how much space is available. ("oodles" doesn't tell us very much)
Also, are you using any external drives. If so, what are they, what size are they, how much free space is on them, and are you connecting them via FireWire or USB.
What version of QuickTime do you have on your iMac? How much RAM?

Exporting a part of a sequence to Quicktime movie!

Is there a way to export a part of a sequence to quicktime movie in FCP?
I come from Premiere world. In premiere there is a work area bar in the timeline; During AVI export it can be set to export clips within work area. That kind of ability seems to be missing in FCP. When I try to export, its exporting entire sequence. Is there a way to limit export area within a sequence?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks henners, I just figured that out myself. Thanks for your help anyways.
Another question, Is there a set-up that I can make so that the clips that are exported to quicktime movie, automatically imported into the project. I know I can manually import the clip. Again, Premiere had the ability to do this. I looked through the preference set-up, didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Help Please ::: Quicktime .mov into iDVD 5 playback or encode problem issue

Originally Imageready files burned into Quicktime. Importing Quicktime .mov into iDVD results in project which looked great in preview, but after burning images were elongated, flattened. I am stumped, especially given preview results would indicate no such problems but unsure where to analyze on the DVD burn end to check. Any tips on what/where to check? Have tried re-importing original ImageReady (Photoshop) files into new Quicktime .mov (original project was done on OS 9 fyi). But no change in results.. any help greatly appreciated.
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't privy to the process that converted these files originally but suspected the theory on compression/codec initially used.. may re-convert. Also will try Disk Imaging... seems that this is not an uncommon problem in the iDVD 5 world...
regards, Senor Peaches

Problem with split screen quicktime movie to iDVD

hey folks, i've just spent two 6-hour renderings for naught and have the following problem:
QT Pro 6.5.2
iDVD 5
OS 10.3.9
I pulled together a Quicktime movie consisting of talking head interview, then split screen (two clips simultaneously), back to talking head, then split screen again, etc etc.
the first time i rendered the composite Quicktime movie to iDVD, my split screen background was a sickly lime green color. blech
so, i added a black slide in TIFF format ONLY to the split screen video portions. played around with the Layers property until my split screen video clips were in front of the black background. recut and pasted my full Quicktime movie again.
However, upon my second iDVD rendering, a funny thing ocurred. Now, when the DVD gets to a split screen portion, the VERY LAST FRAME OF THE PREVIOUS TALKING HEAD CLIP freezes, and appears in the background of my split screen clips.
What gives?
I plan to do some testing, but sure would like to shortcut this problem, it's eating away at my weekend and i need to get this project done.
thanks for any insight you can give
mike

Lost chapter markers from QuickTime movie in iDVD '08

I have edited a movie in Final Cut Express 4 and exported it to a Quicktime movie. I put in four chapter markers in FCE, and these appear perfectly in the QT movie. When I import this into iDVD 7, there are the correct number of buttons on the scene selection menu, but they all open the movie at exactly the same place.
Is there any way to make iDVD open them properly?

j/c .... are there more than 36 chapter markers / sceenes in your FCE movie?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA40250?viewlocale=en_US
if the above simply doesn't apply, then might you have any of these chapter markers located within 2 seconds of the start or end of your QT movie?
might there be any chapter markers located within a transition?

Keynote to quicktime movie to iDVD, no sound on dvd

I know this has been asked a million times, however I (a relatively recent Mac convert) absolutely can't believe that Apple would not allow this to work.
I have a keynote slideshow with music. I "send to iDVD" as well as "export" into a quicktime movie. Resultant files are movie and soundtrack. I bring into iDVD. Sound plays in iDVD. Burn dvd from iDVD, no sound on dvd.
C'mon, the instructions are there, the menus are there. Apple can't expect us to "import into iMovie, match movie and soundtrack" or "burn using disk utility" or otherwise do anything other than take a keynote and make it in to a dvd.
Worst case, can I just burn a CD or DVD that automatically plays the keynote with sound and doesn't have the cool DVD Menu?
Again, sorry for the "same old question", however I have not found a fix that worked nor do I believe that Apple means for this to be so difficult.
For those experts out there that have seen this question before, I really have spent a significant amount of time researching the problem and haven't found a fix that worked or an official response from Apple.
Thanks again.

I am not running this on an intranet, I am creating a video for my students and posting it to my Internet web page. So if I were to post the keynote file itself, 4/5 of my students would be unable to open it because they don't have Macs. Some do not even have desktop computers and view stuff on their smart phones. I solved the issue, at least partially, by saving the presentation as html and posting it to my site that way. It works but it is a bit buggy. Would still rather make it into a movie.

How do I prepare a FCP Quicktime movie for iDVD?

Hi out there, can someone please explaine in detail what I have to do to a FCP Quicktime movie to prepare it for iDVD. Its 12 minutes long and 4.8GB. I tried putting it as is into iDVD and burning a DVD and the quality was bad. Do I have to put it through Compressor? Or, should I make a different kind of Quicktime movie?

Compressor is a program and you want to use it to convert your movie into an mpeg file and an ac3 file. 2 files to drop into your DVD program. Now, I haven't used iDVD so i don't know what it's asking for but. DVDSP is really easy to use if you just wan tto make a DVD without a menu. this requires an mpeg2 file and ac3. this you can make in compressor. in FCP have your timeline with your sequence in it active. FILE>EXPORT>USING COMPRESSOR. in compressor you can use the DVD 90 minute setting to make these two files. you have to check the manual cause it's different on how to do this with diff versions.
once you have your files drop them in DVD SP asset box then drag them in the timeline. delete the menue blue box right click the green track box, select 'first play' build/burn button at the top and you're on your way.
sorry if this seems confusing, but dvd technology is funky. idvd is great for making easy template menus but if you want to just make a playable dvd wihtout menus, DVD SP is the way to go.

Quicktime movies into iDVD

When I drag my movies into iDVD, it shows the names of the files on the main screen. How do I do away with all the names.
And how can I get the movie to play through without stoping after each one.
I'm using 8 little quicktime movies of my son.

Hi David,
Welcome to the Discussion.
If you have QuickTime Pro, you can concatenate them one after another to form a long QT movie, and then import this to iDVD. If you don't have QT Pro, you can also use iMovie to import and chain these movies together into one iMovie project, and then use this iMovie project in iDVD.

Quicktime Movies in iDVD

I have a G5 and iDVD 4.0.1. For some reason I cannot get it to burn films that I export from Final Cut Pro to Quicktime movies. Any ideas why this might happen would be most approeciated.

I drop the file into iDVD from the desktop. What happens is it gets stuck on step 4 - there is no error message it just acts like it's burning forever and ever. When you cancel and take the DVD out, it has not burned at all.

How did you export the movie in the first place? Did you choose Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion?

Quicktime Movies to iDVD

I have a number of short Quicktime movies. Is there a way to piggyback them into iDVD and burn so I have several of them on a disc??
Jack

would it speed up the decoding process by having the Quicktimes on the computer's hard drive first?
iDVD use you boot (system) hard drive for scratch space during the encoding process. You keep plenty of free space (15 to 25 GB) free on this disk just for iDVDs use. In many cases, with large projects, this means you will need to keep your source video material on an external drive(s).
I suspect (although I've never tested it) that keeping plenty of free space on your system drive will speed the encoding process up more than putting your source material on a crowded system drive. Use an external drive if you have it.

Help importing Quicktime movies to IDVD 5

Hello,
I am trying to make a DVD of music videos and I have found that iDVD 5 will not let me import a Quicktime file. It either will not allow me to drag and drop or the video will have no sound. I've tried importing to iMovie HD first but there is never any sound encoded with the video. Please help.

Some file formats are muxed formats... MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 for example. Basically there is only one track... both audio and video are on the one track... hence when you export a muxed file, you only get one track... the video track, no audio.
Once the file is demuxed, you will usually have two separate files, one audio file and one video file. You will need to further convert these to an appropriate format. Some apps will do all this automatically for you and create, for example, a DV file. Quicktime cannot do this.

Importing FCP 4.5 to Quicktime movie to IDVD to burn

I am getting a rhythmic tic in the audio once the disc is burned. Everything else seems fine. May be slightly slower than as viewed during FCP edit but might be my imagination. Any ideas on how to get the audio clean?

What frame rate was your FCP edit made and exported at?
