Motion 5.1 exports tremendously fast unusable movs

However I'm a newbie to Motion 5.1
I'm am working in FCP 7,
so I need to 'flatten' the project with the new appropriate titles
unfortunately when I export a selection of the motion project
it is a ridiculously fast / unusable prores mov
Can you offer any assistance...
I tried placing markers by the In and Out points and
and set the loop points appropriately but each export
is this horrible frenetic 40 times faster version
which takes at least 15-20 to render
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

I assume you're exporting as ProRes 422?
Share > Export Movie (Cmd-E)
Set to ProRes 422.
In the Render section, be sure Color is set to only "Color" (no alpha).
Be sure Premultiply Alpha is checked.
And be sure your Motion project is a generic Motion project, and the frame size/rate match your FCP7 Sequence settings.

Export Audio to QT Movie -- Expected Behavior and Other Questions

In the past I've reported that the Export Audio to QT Movie function didn't work correctly in LP 7.1.1. Well, it still doesn't seem to work correctly, but this time around I'm at least getting some kind of result. It would be kinda cool if I could get it to work according to play.
I'd like to get comments on this procedure, i.e., what kind of behavior should I expect; am I doing something wrong, etc.
• The movie (25 minutes long) starts with a 19-second slug (no timecode burn) followed by first picture with timecode burn starting at 00:00:19:00
• Movie Start Time = 00:00:00:00.01 (the extra bit is to work around a bug)
• SMPTE time for bar 1 1 1 1 = 00:00:19:00
• L & R locators set to the position & length of audio I want to export to the movie (L = bar 1 and R = bar 14)
• Cycle = ON
• Selected a single region of audio (track 1, outputs 1/2)
When I invoked the export function, I was presented with a dialog:
Immediately I notice that there is no 24-bit option (comments?)
Then I encountered this message:
The file listed there is the dialog track for the movie. No problem there. Now, keeping in mind that my file is only 13 measures long (at a fairly fast tempo),
Logic then performed a very long "bounce" procedure, followed by a long "converting" procedure, followed by a "saving" procedure (in which it was writing the new QT movie file).
In the resulting movie (which BTW was the full length of the film) the audio was waaaaaaay out of sync. But aside from that, is it normal to expect that the full-length of the film will be exported? I was expecting that perhaps only the first 13-measures-worth of movie would be exported. (comments?)
So I tried again. This time I moved the song end marker to bar 14 and invoked the export function. I got all of the same dialogs as above, but the "bounce" procedure took no time at all. Neither did the "converting" procedure. I expected this, as now Logic was set to think that the song was only 14 measures long. But the "saving" procedure took as long as last time.
In the resulting movie (which was again the full length of the film), the audio was again out of sync, though not by much. Still unusable tho. Again, should I expect that only a short clip of the movie would be exported? Or, should I expect the full length movie to be saved? (comments?)
-=iS=-
P.S. BTW, the reason my movie start time is set to 00 and not 19 seconds is because... well, that's the subject of another thread, but save to say that the above settings were the only way I could get first picture to line up with bar 1 of my song.

Thanks for your reply George.
I normally use QT Pro to embed audio into picture also. Thought I'd try this route one more time tho.
Regarding my movie start time, I'm finding that if I set my movie start time to 19 seconds (where the burn-in first becomes visible, and which is indeed 19 seconds into the film), my SMPTE offset has to be 38 seconds. This means that Logic's t/c counter doesn't jibe with the film. So to make it so I have to enable the SMPTE view offset in the synchronization pane. But enabling it there doesn't automatically switch it on for the Giant SMPTE counter transport display.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I'll try the settings you suggested and see if that makes a difference.
Bouncing a chunk of movie always works perfectly here <<</div>
Can you clarify something? I know you said that you end up with a null file when you try the export thing, but in your above statement, did you mean that when you've tried this that it did in fact export a chunk of the movie, but without audio?
Cheers!

Best settings for exporting and dropping a MOV file into iDVD7?

I have a movie (originally shot in HD), made in iMovieHD6, and that I'd like to export and drop into iDVD7. *What settings would the brain trust recommend?* I cannot seem to get iDVD to render a good version through direct export from iMovie. (As a side, I wonder if it is because I started this process by bringing AVCHD files from my camera into iMovie8 and "going backwards" to iMovieHD6.)

I have used Pro-res from Final Cut Pro into iDVD and it works.
*This is from iDVD help menu:*
Video and image formats that work with iDVD
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

Trying to export a full rez movie from Premeire Pro CS4

I've looked aroud the forums and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue, but I haven't seen a fix for this.
Below is a screen shot of the export settings I'm using to try and export a full rez movie (I'm not picky, H264, Qtime TIFF sequence, anything). Notice the image in the preview window. That's what it's supposed to look like, and the preview within Premiere is fine.
Below is the pixelated image I get when rendering with any combination of maxed out settings.
The content of the video is predominantly motion graphics, rendered at D1/DV widescreen settings, prorgessive.
I've tried all the Quicktime settings even with "None" selected in the Codec dropdown as well as the H264 settings you see above.
I'm on a Mac as well.
Can anyone help please? I need to know how to just get an export from Premiere CS4 with all the footage intact and not pixelated.

yeah, youre dealing with a standard ntsc video size export which is 720x480, so its handling your 720x486 source and export the only way it knows how ( sorta scaling internally etc on export )..hence crop..
looks like your original graphics images ( source files -- source graphics images ) are not matching the project size....
in other words it looks like your source graphics were "scaled" to some extent when imported to the project. that should actually "match" for really good results... the source graphics should match the project dimensions ( without scaling )... the reason is that in the scaling process the editor doesn't do a good job of anti aliasing and so on ( photoshop is better at scaling for example and there are other 3rd party programs that are better for up scaling ( interpolated ) than photoshop..some can be had as plug ins for psd )..
anway, the problem looks to be the scaling....cause ideally your graphics should match the project dimensions ( without scaling )
ps...scaling DOWN is better than scaling UP...with regard the aliasing you see

Your slideshow cannot be exported as a QuickTime movie.

Hi,
I have created an Keynote presentation and had exported it many times, over and over, since I need it to be exported. Today, I did it three times, and when I went to change the preference for exporting...
I was using Custom > H.264 @ 60frames @ Key all frames @ Multipass.
I wanted to change to > DV-PAL > @ 30frames @ Quality Best @ Scan progressive @ 4:3.
When I tried to export, 1/3 down the export I got the Error -50.
Quote:

There’s not enough disk space, or there was a problem with the file. Error -50.
I have enough disk space but what can be wrong with the file?
I have unchecked exit after last slide.
I need answer fast. I cant rebuild the whole presentation.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply.
I used the default "Full Quality, Large" settings, and the Keynote I'm working on is based on Keynotopia's iPhone-mockup/wireframe slides, so they are 640x960 in size. Here is the export screen:
This is on Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest version of Keynote from the App Store.

Am I exporting to Self Contained Movie properly?

Hi,
I think I'm doing this properly, but perhaps someone will have more experience and expertice! We shoot on a Canon XF300 camera, which natively captures on XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs). FCPro 7 could capture natively, but am I correct, X cannot? (Please . . . somebody tell me Apple does have the codecs for XDCAM native import!)
No problem, we open 7 to capture from our cards we shoot on. THEN we quit 7, open X and import the files! So we keep the fast import speed and "smaller" files (50 mbs vs. 65 in Prorez) of the individual captured clips. We import for highest quality at Prorez 422 into X. Edit everything - and now for the question.
It's time to export a master. I have "learned" this - I THOUGHT if X was set (in the edit menu) to ProRez 422 better performance, or the Best quality, or Proxy - I THOUGHT when you export, the quality wa always the best X can do. (Basically ProRez422 at 65mbs.)
But I find now I was wrong!
When I export to Self Contained Movie with settings left on "Proxy" the exported file is ProRes422 and plays at 20mbs. Much "lower" quality than we want. But leave all setting the same in X, except change the "quality" to original or optimized best performance OR BEST quality - the export is still ProRes422, but the data rate is 65mbs. (Which I assume is "better"!) BTW, we use 12x720.
So I was wrong! It's important (I'm guessing and looking for conformation) that if we want the BEST export quality, we should NOT have it set to PROXY!
I think everyone will agree with everything I've said so far, as that's what we're finding. But NOW I see X will export at XDCAM Prores422 at 50mbs (by changing the codec on the export menu.) Now, the result is 50mbs (lower than 65mbs, good! Takes up less data)
But . . . WHY would X export at XDCAM Prores422HD (at 50mbs) but NOT IMPORT OUR NATIVE FOOTAGE OF THE SAME VINTAGE?
What am I missing here?
Thanks - hopefully many people have the same thoughts?
Larry

Tom, it's all a bit confusing, although I have spent considerable time with Canon on this! What I KNOW is FCP 7 will import footage shot on our Canon XF300 natively. The exact codec FC uses is
"XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" It works beautifully. 2 BIG advantages for us - it uses 50mbs when it converts to QT files (vs. 65mbs in ProRes) and it imports native clips about 4 times faster than converting to Prores. (On the other side, though - when you render in FC - if the sequence is setup on the cative codec above - it DOES take considerable longer to render anything but that's life, I guess!!
FC then exports using that codec as well, making the self contained exports play at 50mbs, NOT 65 that ProRes seems to.
BUT . . . as we discussed above - FCP X will export to "XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" but NOT injest footage in the XDCAM format. We ingest with 7, then quit 7 and open X to import the files - I don't understand why FCP X exports in XDCAM, but not log and transfer files natively in that same codec?
Thanks,

Motion transitions affecting export

I recently finished editing a video. Originally I just used basic cross dissolves for most of my transitions. However, for a few key spots I decided to use some more involved transitions from Motion. I got it all smoothed out the way I want it, however, after burning my DVD I realized those transitions were not there. I tried opening DVD Studio Pro but it would not initialize the assets properly. I had to use Time Machine to open a copy of my DVDSP file before I added the video asset in question. I then opened the video in Final Cut Pro, and it plays fine, but when try to export it to Quicktime Movie (self-contained or not....no difference) it gets about 9% done and then it simply says general error.
I know that this is directly related to those motion files, but I don't just want to delete them. Any ideas?

Here some possible solutions that may work when a general error occurs:
Try [this small application|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to delete your preferences. Close FCP>run the preference manager>empty bin>restart the machine.
Trash your renders using render manager from FCP main menu>Tools.
From motion export using a codec that matches your sequence settings and use those export rather than Motion projects .motn straight from the application.

Export Error, Error compiling movie. "A low-level exception occurred in: H.264"

Hi
I'm still learning AE. I'd appreciate any help. I can export to Windows. Can't export to Vimeo SD 25 fps in H.264 either. When I try to compile via media encoder the following I get this message.

A low-level exception occurred in: H.264 (Exporter)

Update: no error on the following, media encoder didn't throw any errors... must be the project. Disk cache is 120GB BTW. I was able was unable to run through YouTube HD 1080P 23.96 FPS.

Export settings for quicktime movie to use in DVD Studio Pro

The workflow:
I created a movie and did extensive sound adjustments in iMovie and a few video edits, and exported it to a quicktime format:
compression H.264
Quality: High
Frame reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 1280x720
Since then I upgraded to FCS, and tried to create a DVD with DVD SP and import the movie, and I get this error:
Import error:
One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are that they do not match the current project's video standard or their file format is not supported.
I'm fairly sure I have matching video standard...and the file format has always been supported before.
I imported the quicktime (.mov) file to FCP and added some edits, recreated the chapter markers, and early on there was a pop-up that said my movie format did not match the project settings, so I checked the "okay" to adjust the video file to match.
When I finished, I exported the file from FCP to a quicktime movie with the "current settings" that have always worked with DVD Studio Pro before, and I'm getting the same error.
I don't know where the problem is. Both the original movie I created in iMovie and the movie I recreated in FCS will import to iDVD. I wanted the better quality production from DVDSP....
I no longer have the iMovie project file. (I thot I was done.) I do have the original footage, but I'm already three days in and hoping to avoid starting over.
I would sure appreciate any help!
Thanks!

The specifications you listed are the problem.
I can't comment on iMovie -don't use it personally.
From FCP, you would export a self contained movie using the current Timeline settings (not H.264 ever)
Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your movie fits into. This will produce a MPEG 2 video file and an AC3 audio file. Bring both into DVDSP and author.
A DVD video is always standard def 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).
Converting the output from FCP to H.264 is adding an unneeded compression stage that will compromize quality -because DVD assets are always MPEG 2 / AC3. Even if DVDSP accepts that H.264 file, it gets transcoded again using DVDSP's own compression system.
All of this is covered in the DVDSP user manual. Take the time to read it. DVD authoring is complicated if you just jump in and start poking around, simple if you take the time to understand the basics.

HDV project in motion want to export as a SD DV project???

hi, ive been working a hd project and been adding motin fx in motion2. my problem is that the client wants it to be made into SD DV PAL and has only told me at the end..as i would have down converted from my Deck deviceat the begginig. Is there a way to export HD content into SD format from motion. ive tried various settings but it keeps coming out squashed (4:3), how can i get it made into 16:9 aspect ratio. should i use compressor or motion's QC export??

If you are putting out a 16:9 DVD, then the squished format 4:3 is how it is stored on disc - it is called anamorphic. If you load it into DVDSP and tell it that your material is anamorphic, it will create a disc that will either play with letterbox if the display device cannot handle anamorphic material, or it will play in 16:9 format...

Export a only a Movie Clip

I am building an interactive website as my final project for my Webmastering class and need to know one thing. First I'll give you my setup. I have four Movie Clips in four seperate layers on my main timeline. I want to export one of those Movie Clips as an avi file. When I use export>movie, it exports the main timeline. I figured it would do that. So then I opened up the Movie Clip that I want to export and tried the same thing again. No luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation. I have five days to do this and have spent about four days of my life working on this if you add up all the hours that I have spent working on this. I really really need help. I don't want it all crashing down on me because I can't simply export a movie clip...
Thanks in advance,
Darth Haxor

Create a new blank document with the same parameters - size, fps, etc. - as the one the movie clip you want to export is on. Have both documents open at the same time. Select the new document by clicking on its tab, and then open the library window.
On top of the library window is a drop down list of all libraries that belong to currently open documents. Go there and select the library of the original document. From that library grab and drag the movie clip you want to export onto the stage of the new document you created. Position it where it belongs. Now you can export this new document, containing only the one movie clip you want to export.

Why won't my final cut 7 export my entire :30 movie in pro res 422 60i

Why won't my final cut 7 export my entire :30 movie in pro res 422 60i?
And some transitions are not rendering properly.

Exporting to Quicktime or movie in IMovie

When I purchased my mac they told me to export the movie to Quicktime and save to the desktop. That way when I opened Idvd I could drag the movie over to Idvd. It takes an extremely long time for the export to take place. Today I tried exporting to "share to movie". I used a 84mb dv file and it took about 10 minutes using "share movie" and about 50 minutes using Quicktime. I then made dvd's of each and played them on my blu ray player hooked to a 50" LCD projection TV. Frankly, I could not tell the difference in the quality. I did the same with video I captured with my HD camcorder and again, I could not tell the difference. My question is--Is there an advantage to using "export to Quicktime" and if so, what would it be? When I purchase an HD burner would the answers to these questions change? In my opinion, using my PC with pinnacle was a much better program, but I bought a mac when I purchased the HD camcorder. Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I export the movie and it comes out lighter than the original everytime. I have used quite a few of the different options and codecs and can't crack this nut... So far my only work around is to darken the movie in imovie first and then export it to get what I want. Not a good work around needless to say.

Export part of a movie

How do you export part of a movie to Quicktime after setting in and out points?
Thanks for your help

I believe this is correct. Although I haven't had the need for Compressor yet (therefore haven't bought it yet), as far as I can tell and have heard, you export the entire thing into Compressor at which point you can mark in and out points for the compression and export of your final product. It can't be done in FCPX alone, unless you duplicate your project and delete chunks of it to export only the parts you want.
