Keeping chapter markers intact when exporting as QuickTime file

Created a 30-minute video in FCP7. Exported using QuickTime Conversion (H.264 file).
When I pulled that QT file into iDVD (wanted a menu from there for this project instead of DVD Studio Pro, this time) -- chapter markers are gone.
How to get them back?

Exported using QuickTime Conversion (H.264 file).
Why are you exporting as QT conversion to H264? The iDVD authoring process automatically encodes your source files to MPEG 2. You are going through an unneccesary compression cycle that is degrading your video.
Do this from FCP instead: File > Export > QuickTime Movie > Current Settings > Self Contained.
Make sure the marker selection button shows "All Markers" or just "Chapter markers"
Bring that file into iDVD and let it do the rest.

Audio and video not in sync when exporting to Quicktime file

I use a digital camera to shoot video, which is in .avi format. I then import the clips into IMovie HD (selecting all the clips and dragging all at the same time into IMovie). If I play the video from beginning to end in IMovie, the audio and video line up fine. But, when I 'share' to Quicktime file, the longer the video is, the more out-of-sync the audio and video become.
I didn't have this problem when I used a mini-DV cam and imported using a firewire cable (in real time).
Any ideas as to how to get the audio to sync up with the video once it's shared as a Quicktime file? I've tried .mp4 and .mov, and I have the same problem.

Anything here help?

Keeping chapter markers after compressing

Why are my chapter markers disappearing after I compress a file. Example: start with a DV file with chapter makers created in FCP and the markers show up in the Quicktime player but when I compress them to H.264 with Compressor or any other type of program (included exporting them out of the Quicktime player) the markers are gone. I have seen many other H.264 movies on the web with the markers in them so I know that it can be done.

Thanks for the tip, and I got it to work but here are a couple of things to clairify for others. To extract the chapter(s) info out of the movie you go to Window:Show movie properties, enable the Text Track(not called chapter track) and select only that track to Extract. A new movie is created, that just looks like a white bar with the chapter names in them, select all and copy. Then go to your compressed movie and Edit:Add to Selection & Scale.
Now the movie will not look right, to fix this: go to Window:Show movie properties, uncheck the enable button on the text track, in the "other settings" for the text track make sure "Chapters" is selected to "Text track", now go to "Visual Settings" and change the scaled size to match the width of you movie and make the height 20 pixels (320 x 20 for me) and all is well. If I enable the text track the name of the chapter markers appear in a white box at the top of the screen.
It sounds complicated but once you do it once or twice it's easy to do. Now if anyone knows of a better way???????

Audio doesn't work when exporting to Quicktime

Hi there.
I've imported a FLV file with audio into a Flash file. When
previewed as a swf, the audio works, but when exported to
"Quicktime Video" (not the "Quicktime" setting) the audio doesn't
play.
I've double checked my Quicktime settings (ie the audio isn't
Disabled, and i've tried Animation, Video, None and MPEG-4
compression) but the audio still doesn't play.
The weird thing is, if i have a Quicktime movie playing in
Quicktime and then open my Quicktime Video file from Flash then the
audio in the first Quicktime cuts out.
Also in Quicktime the info on the Quicktime Video from flash
says it has a Audio Track with the settings I exported it out as,
but I'm still not getting any audio.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?
or is my question not making sense?
Thanks in advance

IMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime

iMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime. Some people have posted that this problem disappeared when they upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. However, I am running Mt.Lion and it still happens. If there is no fix for this bug, does anyone know a workaround that will produce the same ultimate result..namely, a Quicktime movie that is not too large to attach to emails. Apple, please fix this. Thank you.

Update after two Apple iApps specialists spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me: There are 3 "poison pills" (that we know of) that will cause the crash if any of the three is part of the movie: Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or a circle open/close transition. Otherwise, no crash. The specialist made a movie on his own computer, containing the poison pills, but he exported to Quicktime without a crash. There is at least one report in the threads of a problem like mine. Thus, some Gremlin is causing this, in some computers. The iApps specialist was curioius to know whether a lot of people have this problem, or only a few. (If a lot, then it is worth submitting to the engineers to fix.) He said if you have this problem, call Apple. I asked if such people should post a "Me too!" on this thread. He said no, better to call Apple and report it. So that's the story. I can live without those poison pills in my export-to-quicktime movies. I am just a consumer, not a pro, and I can live with it. But it would be nice if Apple could fix this.

Build/Transition times off when exported to Quicktime

I have four Keynote presentations I have built, each of which has several Quicktime movies placed on multiple slides (not the same movie multiple times). I then have Keynote text and shape objects "interacting" with the movies as they play. In Keynote, I have set my build and transition times to perfectly match the content of the Quicktime movies.
Example: I have a movie that was captured from my screen wherein I select various menu items. In Keynote, as the various menu items are selected in the movie, I have Keynote text and arrows pointing to the relevant areas of the movies. "Click File...", "...then Save As..." etc. Looks great when presented in Keynote.
When exported to Quicktime (full size, high quality, Sorensen Video 3) the timing gets worse as the movie progresses, to the point that at the end some of my timings are off by almost 10 seconds or more!
Any ideas why this happens? The export to Quicktime is happing on a dual-processor 2.7GHz G5 with 4GB RAM... should be more than adequate!
Robert

Cheers for that, Kyn. Funny, I spent about two hours reading through page-by-page all the forum topics to see what issues people were coming acorss BEFORE I posted. Don't know how I missed this one though! Guess I should try searching next time.
Thanks,

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

How can I keep 16:9-format when exporting to the camera

Yesterday happened something, what never happened before:
A movie recorded in 16:9, edited on IM HD6 in 16:9 can only be exported back to my Sony HD-Camery in 4:3. Camera is preset for 16:9. That means, the globe in my movie is becoming an oval! When I imported this "Oval"-Tape back to an new iMovie-Folder, it is again 16:9.
Can everybody unravel that mystery?
Thank you for help.

Besides starting with a 16:9 iMovie Project you must choose the "Expert Settings" when exporting to QuickTime.
Choose DV Stream. Double check those settings by clicking the "Options" button. This is where you'll find the aspect ratio for your DV file.

Jittery motion with stills when exported to Quicktime

I've been producing photographic AVs with FCE for a few years now and I've run into a problem with the latest version (3.5).
Any time I use keyframes to do a Ken Burns effect it gets all jittery when exported to Quicktime. Everything plays back fine within FCE - it's only when exported that the problem occurs. The problem didn't exist (for me) with version 3. It seems to be exacerbated by adding a transition but it happens even when there's no transition.
Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what I might be able to do to remedy it.

That's what you did when you switched the field
dominance to none, but you see you didn't see any
effect when you did that.
No, none at all.
I have a fairly major show on Friday night (it's Wednesday pm here now) so I'm thinking I might spend the night redoing it in iMovie. I'm disappointed because I've been doing them in FCE for a few years now and this is the first time I've seen a problem. The only thing which has changed is the jump from 3 to 3.5.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.

Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space

Hi. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum for specialized attention to your situation.

I'm attempting to export a quicktime file to an AVI file via quicktime pro. Which settings would yield an uncompressed AVI file? There seem to be just a few options, would I choose cinepak?

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.
