Making quicktime movie without rendering?

can i export a quicktime movie from my timeline, without the timeline sequence being competely rendered, or will the lack of complete rendering affect the quality of my movie?
or will in fact the exporting take care of the rendering at the same time?
(i am having 'not-enough-time-to-do-both' issues you see...)
cheers

Exporting will built the render files into the export. Qualitatively it will make no difference. However, you won't have access to those render files when you're finished exporting as they will only exist as part of the export file. If you render first those renders live in your Render folder and are duplicated into the export, or are used in the reference export.

Making quicktime movie

Hi, I burned a DVD of my movie on iDVD tonight, and when I checked it on my computer's DVD player, it played fine, but it looked terrible. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what the problem is and how to burn the DVD properly?
My movie is HD, and I edited it on Final Cut Pro. I exported it to a quicktime file, and then used that quicktime file on iDVD. Is there a special setting I need to select when I export the quicktime file to make sure it is HD? Or is it possible that iDVD is degrading the file when I upload it there? I would really appreciate your help!! This is my senior thesis, and it's due on Thursday! Thanks!

When exporting from Final Cut, be sure that you choose: Export/Quicktime Movie. This is different from: Export/Using Quicktime Conversion.
From the dialog box choose Self-Contained. This will create a file that is identical to the sequence settings in Final Cut.
However, after that, you'll be compressing it down to fit into a standard def DVD so there are places that could cause problems.
For one, I'm not a big fan of iDVD and haven't used it for years. It uses a different compression than DVD Studio Pro which is what I would suggest for the best possible DVD.
Take the exported file into Compressor and use the Best DVD preset. Probably the 90 min preset is fine, but if your thesis is longer you may have to choose 120 or 150. From there import it into DVDSP and use one of the templates if you're uncomfortable with the program. A quick start tutorial can guide you in the basic DVD authoring process inside DVDSP and I believe that the result will be better.
Finally, when you play a DVD on your Mac, keep in mind that you are playing a standard def DVD. That is to say it's 720x480. The average 23" Cinema Display is displaying at resolutions similar to 1080 HD. So if you're watching it "blown up" on the screen then you are not seeing a correct representation of what it'll look like on a normal TV screen. When playing the DVD in the Mac's DVD Player, hit CMD+2 to play it at the resolution of the DVD. It may look small, but it'll be correct resolution. Better yet, play the DVD on a TV.

Streaming QuickTime movie without any links (i.e.:"file, edit, view, help")

Hello all,
I am streaming videos, using 'VitalStream', for items I have for sale. The local governing board of the organazation/web site I am posting these movies on will not let me post any 'links to other areas of the web site where there is promotional information'. So, the 'file, edit, view, help' on the quicktime player or movie is considered 'links' according to the organization.
Is there a way I can export the movies, from iMovie HD or GarageBand or QuickTime Pro, so those links do not show on the streaming video? All I want to show is the movie and the play/pause functions, or if I can get it to just show the movie and sound that would be o.k. too. The majority of people who will be viewing these movies are using PC's. Should I get 'flip 4 mac' and convert it to wmv, will that cut out the 'links'?
PowerBook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 80 G, iLife '06, iWork '06, QuickTime Pro, Sony DCR-HC96.

Not familiar with Vitalstream...but if you embed your QuickTime movie into a web page, you can control whether or not there is a controller, and there is no player skin involved. The movie you embed can be either a full movie, or a reference to a movie running on a streaming server somewhere.
The key is that instead of opening the movie in QuickTime player, you want it to run in the browser plug-in. Here, let me show you a couple of examples from my own pages. The code is fairly clean; feel free to rip off my embedding code if you want.. 8-)
The most basic form of movie embedding can be seen on this page where a movie plays within the page, with its controller, which includes a play/pause control and a scrubbing bar.
By comparison, on this page, about halfway down on the right-hand side there is an embedded movie with no controls on it, set to loop continuously. Again, you can look at the source to see how it was done.
Please note that I'm using an old form of object embedding that has some issues in Internet Explorer. It still works, but in order to use the controllers the user has to click on the movie twice. Also, in my case, the movies are stored on my web site, and are not streamed at all. If I were using a streaming host, I could put a reference movie on my site and use it to point to the stream.

Record quicktime movie without audio track?

There are many posts out there trying to troubleshooting when there is no audio during quicktime recording, but there are some scenarios that I would like to do recording without audio track at all. What is the best way to achieve this besides muting my microphone? Thanks!

Music purchased from iTunes is protected and can't be exported to other formats.

Keynote does not support exporting with embedded Quicktime Movies

I hope this helps a few of you out before you run into this problem.
Keynote does not support export to Quicktime with any slides that contain a quicktime movie.
Created a 27 page slide show with transitions, music, narrations and 6 Quicktime movies (Actually LiveType Text scrolls)
When I attempted to export it never finishes the export cutting it short after about 20 pages.
And the pages with the movies, don't start playing.
It exports fine as a quicktime movie without the movies inserted though.
Spoke with Apple Support and they confirmed that quicktime placed files within Keynote playback is only supported from the native Keynote Application.
I read somewhere on this board that it was an issue with Quicktime version 7.5, not so as I tried the same test on a mac with Quicktime 7.42 and it had the same issue.
So, beware.

Maybe I didn't understand well what you said but it is possible to export a Keynote file with embedded Quicktime movies to a quicktime movie. Actually, I'm doing it and I works. BUT, the issue I get is that I can't get my embedded videos to loop. Grrr...

Looping Quicktime Movies in Keynote & Keeping them Looped when Rendered

Okay I have a quicktime movie that I am using as the background of my slide show. I have text fly in and out over the movie. I can get the movie to loop when I view the slideshow but when I try to export the slideshow to Quicktime the Background quicktime movie only plays once and then stops. I want the quicktime background to continue to loop when I render the entire slideshow to quicktime. And yes I have checked the loop box in the quicktime tab in the inspector window. Please Help!

Yes, it is one slide with layered builds going in and out. The first 2 times I tried this it worked then on the same keynote file it stopped working on the second render and now it does not work even if I create a new file.
While I do understand that I could make my slideshow, time it and loop the movies together in iMovie I do not feel that I should have to render two separate things loosing quality on each render because of the time aspect.
Why would it work and all of a sudden stop? I should not have to go through iMovie making loops and rendering things twice when Keynote should be working.

HELP?! Quicktime movie rendered won't play?

I made a movie in After Effects and rendered it as a quicktime movie with Soren (Soerenson?) compression type. It played on my computer and some friends' both PC and MAC computers. Now I am out of town and trying to play it on a PC that was Quicktime version 7.1.3 installed. the music plays, but the movie is all scrambled with green and blue nonsense, you can't see anything in the movie. WHy would this be? HELP PLEASE!!

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly! Now can you explain to me what that did? Do I need to switch it back for them? So that I know in the future.

FCP 7 crashing on render and when exporting quicktime movie & rendering

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded to Lion and am still using Final Cut Studio 3.
I have a 1.37min sequence which i wanted to export and burn the DVD. My normal workflow for this is:
- Export/quicktime movie/make self contained
- Open compressor and convert
But FCP 7 keeps on crashing on export, in fact is very unstable recently. It also crashes on rendering, and quite often when im editing.
- Final Cut Studio 7.03
- Footage is HDV 1080 50i
Any ideas on a solution??

Are you converting those clips to ProRes in ClipWrap? Or keeping them native? You MUST convert them to ProRes.
The NXCam came out just before 7.0.3. FCP did update to mesh with that camera, but it's still rocky. And now that FCP 7...legacy...has been discontinued, there will be no more updates. But you have ClipWrap so that should be fine. As long as you convert to ProRes.

Dropped audio when sequence rendered to self contained quicktime movie

last week i rendered my project to quicktime movie file and all was fine --today --after having done some minor tweeking of the project a clip is missing audio when i send project to quicktime--i've tried rebuilding the troublesome clip--the clip has a segment of audio with one segment that is linked to it and 2 other clips that xdissolve before and after the linked items --total duration about 30 seconds---i've checked audio on and made sure there are no track volume adjusters turned down---is this an fce hd problem or quicktime and might the sequence be corrupt?--i'm at a loss with this one? any ideas folks?

Btian
Try Mixing Down the audio just before you export.

Export Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export Quicktime movie?

Export>Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export>Quicktime movie?

When you converted the original files via MPEG Streamclip, what did you convert them to?
Have you tried trashing your preferences in FCP? Trashing FCP prefs is usually the first step when FCP is performing strangely.

Quicktime movie rendering for time lapse does not work in CS4

Hey guys,
I m trying to render a time lapse video on PS CS4 and the process works well up until the export window. When i go there the first option under file options, quick time export, is unavailable( grayed out). The only available option is Image sequence. What do i have to do to enable the quicktime movie creation or any other movie format for that matter? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
For PS CS4, I assume that you have PS-Extended. Is that correct?
What OS/platform?
Do you have Apple's QT installed on that computer? If so, what version?
Good luck,
Hunt

Making a Quicktime movie a link

I have exported a Keynote presentation as a Quicktime movie to my webpage I have created in iWeb. Does anyone know how to make the Quicktime movie a link to another page?
Thanks.

Thank you for all of the replies.
Kyn, I see on the link you provided that you were able to incorporate a link in your movie. That's what I would like to do but I do not find instructions on how to do it.
Just to clarify, I created a Keynote presentation and exported it as a Quicktime movie to place in my iWeb made website. It is just a photo slideshow but I would like to also make it a hyperlink so that at any time the slideshow is clicked on, it goes to another page or website, etc. My first problem is that when the slideshow is clicked on it stops the slideshow and restarts when I click again instead of going to another page. How can I eliminate the click activated stop/start of the slideshow and instead create a click activated hyperlink.
Thanks again for everybody's help and great information.

Help with making DVD from quicktime movie

I just made a dvd using IDVD of my FCE sequence. I selected make dvd from movie. The FCE sequence was comprised of two parts. The first part of the time line was a sequence I imported as a quicktime movie and the remaining time line was the edited sequence which was the later part of the completed fce project. When I made an IDVD copy of the sequence (after exporting the full sequence to yet another quicktime movie), the only part of the sequence that recorded on the dvd was the first part --the quicktime movie I imported into the full sequence. As I watched the video asset encoding process I saw the 2nd half of the sequence encoding onto the burn but when I play the DVD it only plays the first part of the sequence over and over again and is missing the second part.
Any ideas why this happened?
Karen

thanks, Ronda, for your warm welcome!!!
nope, not yet, no door, no key, no membership card yet…
I think, I should give the folks at Cupertino a few hours… it's way too early…
oh, why do we Europeans don't use PST, or even EST…
nice smiley, Ronda, does anyone remember my old avatar…?
sorry, Karen, for jacking your thread!!!
… but, today, this is … excitin' for me... ;-))

Making a Quicktime movie clip from non-commercial DVD

I want to capture a five minute clip of video from a non-commercial (i.e. homemade) DVD and save as a Quicktime movie. How do I go about this?

You will need QuickTime Pro and the Viewer, both available for purchase from the Apple Store. One word of caution, when I try to pull video from my home-made DVDs, QT only play the first 2 to 6 seconds of the video that may be almost an hour long. I am trying to find a solution, but before I would recommend that you spend the $50 to purchase Pro and Viewer, I would wait until there is some resolution to this problem.
