Motion 5 not exporting Play Range with Compressor

I've been trying to export portions of certain Motion projects, but I prefer to use Compressor to take advantage of my cluster. However, Compressor insists on ignoring the "Duration" setting. It will only ever export the "Entire Sequence", and if "In/Out Points" is selected, it won't care.
I've tried this in every possible permutation of Compressor exporting. I've clicked Send to Compressor, both in the menu and through the Export Movie>Advanced dialog, and even using Export using Compressor Settings. Every single option completely ignores my play range.
Meanwhile, exporting through Motion handles the play range fine, but it's slower and more crash-prone than Compressor.
This is a bug, right? I'm not missing something obvious? (Yes, I have Compressor 4)

In/Out points inside Motion are ignored when you Send To Compressor. Inside Compressor you need to manually set In/Out points in the Compressor Preview window.

Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

Motion not exporting transparency....

after exporting text project from MOTION 2 to FCP HD 5.1.2.my backgrounds are not transparent--even though i exported the files from motion with transparency on--yesterday's project DID export transparency--after second try--is this a corrupt file issue?--i'm importing transparencies intoMOTION with no problem but exports are not working--- anybody with ideas on this?---thanks

i said to myself DOAH! DOAH! and DOAH! about a half hour later that i was---by habit---in instances where clips are doing wild things and i render them as quicktime movies before they are imported to FCP ---that this was the cause of my troubles---i apologize--i'm new to motion and have spent the better part of this week exploring it--i LOVE it!--it's amazing and exciting!--however i expected certain behaviour characteristics from other applications and assumed that it acted accordingly--live and learn--having said that--MOTION (2) unexpectedly quits on occasion---if you have ideas about that i'd love to know what you think--thanks for responding--ciao

Export QuickTime movie with Compressor running in background

I've rummaged through the forums many times to figure out the absolute fastest way to get an FCP sequence compressed for DVD Studio Pro while maintaining the best quality. I always seem to come up with:
Export QuickTime Movie (not self contained) --> Compressor (DVD best quality settings)
This seems to work fine. I am currently exporting sequences in HDV 1080i60 and they take an extremely long time to export into QT movies. Because of that, I am editing a sequence, waiting for it to export, then dropping it into Compressor. At this point, FCP is available for editing again while Compressor is working, so I repeat the process. However, when I export to QT from FCP while Compressor is still running in the background it seems to take much longer to export.
Here is my question:
*Am I doing anything wrong by allowing Compressor to work while I am trying to export QT movies from FCP to the same drive?*
Is FCP actually taking longer to export, or is that my imagination? Would it be faster if I only did one at a time, or should it take the same amount of time either way? Am I putting the data on my final movies at risk by doing these things at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated as this is a time sensitive project. I am working in both FCP 5 and 6 on two different computers. 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB.

Compressor takes a lot of system resources. It will slow the computer down in other tasks.
Because Compressor can run unattended, why not take advantage of that?
Do your regular work that needs you to be there and run the Compressor Batch overnight or at other times when the system is idle.
Compressor's default destination for its processed files is the same directory as the original -writing the files to a different drive might help, at least that way your media drive is not reading and writing at the same time.

Acrobat X Pro Does Not Export to Excel with Proper Format

I just upgraded from AA8 Pro to X Pro because 8.0 didn't run well in Windows 7. It was much easier to export a report from a PDF to an Excel table and in 8.0 I never had this issue with the formatting.
Sorry for all of the screen grabs, but I don't know else to explain what is happening.
The the original PDF of the report I need to convert to a table in Excel:
Using Save As... > Spreadsheet > Excel Workbook, here is the resulting table created by AAX. Note that the date is displayed correctly the format is "Custom":
Note the "Custom" format displays the date using the standard U.S. English convention, but when you change the format to "Date" it switches to the Chinese convention.
When selecting the cell containing the September 4th date, it recognizes it as a "Date", but it thinks it follows the Chinese convention, hence believing September 4th is actually April 9th.
If I select all of the cells and set the format to "Date" and "English (U.S.)", the dates where the Day value is below 13 and could be interpreted as Month, switch with Month and September 9th becomes April 4th.
Now here is the kicker, if I export the report PDF to a Word doc, the data appears as a table in Word, as it should. I can copy of the table from Word and paste into Excel and the dates are formatted properly. I am frustrated that in AA 8.0, I could select the data, right-click and send to an Excel doc that automatically opened. It now seems that I have to export to a 3rd program and copy and paste the data. Please tell me this is a known issue and there is a fix coming soon for it.
Again, I never had this issue with AA 8.0 and other than upgrading to AA X, there has been no other changes to my system.

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

InDesign CS4 not exporting to ePub with a TOC

I've been trying to export a file to ePub this morning but keep getting the error "Cannot export filename. Export failed" . I narrowed down the problem so that when I uncheck the "Include TOC", the file exports. The only trouble is, I need the TOC. There are no hyperlinks within the document, so that rules out that error that some people have had. I have tried redefining the style, moving it to the top of my paragraph styles panel, typing in the text by hand, creating a separate new document, creating a idml version...I even tried a test of just typing one word with a completely different paragraph style set for the TOC and still got the error. Any suggestions on things I should try? I'd rather not have to type out this TOC by hand in the code.
Thanks a bunch!

Best suggestion is to upgrade to CS5.5. The EPUB features have been dramatically improved.

Exporting to Vimeo with Compressor 4.1.2

I have created a custom setting to export to Vimeo, including my email and password.
However when applying the setting to the films to be compressed, the password information is missing and it seems like I have to input it manually for each file. What am I doing wrong?

Some sign in information is retained. You must drag the group not the setting onto the file.
The job action is retained. If you select the job in the pane, not the setting, the action will appear.
The username and password is retained as long as the application is open. Once the application is closed and re-opened the job action is retained but the password is not. That has to be entered in the job action in custom settings each time the application is opened.

Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...

I got a new iPod video for Christmas. I downloaded iTunes (7.0.2) and then upgraded to Quicktime Pro using the quicktime installed on my Windows PC (7.1.3). I fired up quicktime and tried to export several different AVI files to ipod format. Every time, it starts the process, shows 'initializing...' and then hangs indefinitely. I noticed my computer is running at around 60% cpu. I've seen this same problem shown in a number of different posts - but no one has found a solution to this problem yet. Since I'm new to quicktime/ipod, I can offer only a very limited viewpoint, but it seems to me based on my experience and the number of other unanswered posts on this same issue, that there may be a bug in the software. I'm really excited about my new ipod video, but I'd enjoy it much more if I could actually get my videos on to it.
WhiteBox - Homebuilt Windows XP Pro

Converting to iPod settings takes a long time.
Try this as a test:
View and save any online video (a movie trailer for example).
Open this file, note it size and time, and export to iPod.
Time the export so you know how long the conversion takes.
Multiply this two minute (or whatever) conversion by the time of your AVI and you'll know about how long it will take.
My Mac and QuickTime converts while I sleep.

Motion 3 not exporting entire sequence

I'm trying to export and sequence from Motion and it will not export the entire sequence. My animation is not terribly complicated, just photos with some animated text so I don't think that it's something my computer can't handle. Motion doesn't crash or do anything strange. I'm not having any problems with any other Motion projects (some that are much more involved too). It just stops the export around 3/4 way through. I've checked all my settings and everything appears to be in order. I've even tried exporting parts of the animation and it still won't export everything between the in and out points. Any suggestions?

when you export are you using "export play range"?

Premiere will not export Uncompressed or DV compressed video files

Working with CS4 with all current updates...
I have no issue exporting any other format (that I know of) including flv and wmv and m2v.
I am using PCs with Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a Desktop with 8GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Laptop with 4GB RAM. I've had nothing but problems with CS4 since I cleanly installed my Desktop and purchased my Laptop. Adobe Premiere will not export DV compressed with video, only audio, and will not export uncompressed at all! I have a system with Vista Pro 64bit at work, and none of these problems are there.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole suite (plus removed all preferences files and went in to the user profile and manually removed any traces) to no avail. As I am experiencing this same issue across two totally different systems, is it a known bug with Windows 7 64bit? Is there any way to fix the issue?

Sorry it's taken a bit to get back with you... I've been busy on another system. My assets are R3D files at 4k resolution under the Red 1080p preset. I have a Core2Duo with 8GB RAM, 2TB HDD, Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit and CS4 Production Premium. What other system specifics do you require?
I do have a Matrox RTX2 card; and did not uninstall and reinstall it when I uninstalled and reinstalled my CS4 software.
As for Export:

Ingested videos not playing in stereo with Quicktime or after exporting with compressor

Why does it seem like every time I try to do something just mildly complex I'm stymied by some bug or problem with the software?
Here's the deal:
0) I have footage was shot with a stereo camcorder, a JVC GR-DV3000 (circa 2003), with built-in stereo mics.
1) I ingest the footage from the Mini DV tape and save it to a camera archive using Final Cut Pro X (latest version).
2) I use Final Cut Pro to pull the events out of archive.
3) When the events are played from within Final Cut Pro X, I hear strereo and audio meters indicate the audio is in stereo (left and right channels have different volume levels).
4) When the events are played with the open source software, VLC, I hear stereo, too.
5) When I export the files for playing on an Apple device using Final Cut Pro, the audio is in stereo as you would expect.
BUT:
5) When I play the event clips with QuickTime from my hard drive after step 2 above, I get no audio from the right channel. Weird, right?
But most annoying of all:
6) When I use Compressor 4 (instead of Final Cut) to output the event clips to "SD for Apple Devices" using the default audio settings, I get no audio from the right channel, either.
7) I've got hundreds, if not thousands, of clips. I'm not about to save each clip manually with FCPX. I need to batch convert these files with Compressor.
8) I've tried various combinations of the audio import settings ("Analyze and fix audio problems," "Separate mono and group stereo audio," and "Remove silent channels." These options have not solved the issue for me. The clips still play in mono in QuickTime.
When I look at the properties of the file in QuickTime, here's what it shows:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Left
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Why it's telling me the other 3 channels are unused, I have no idea. As I mentioned, the footage was shot in stereo and even Final Cut plays it in stereo.
Here's what VLC says about the very same file:
Stream 0:
Type: Audio
Codec:PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Channels: Mono
Sample Rate: 32000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16
Stream 1:
Type: Audio
Codec:PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Channels: 1
Sample Rate: 32000 Hz
Bitrate: 512 kb/s
Stream 2:
Type: Audio
Codec:PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Channels: 1
Sample Rate: 32000 Hz
Bitrate: 512 kb/s
Stream 3:
Type: Audio
Codec:PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Channels: 1
Sample Rate: 32000 Hz
Bitrate: 512 kb/s
Stream 4:
Type: Video
Codec: (DV Video (dvc)
Resolution: 720 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.970030
Decoded Format: Planar 4:1:1 YUV
If anyone can point in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it.

I ended up just using iMovie to capture video from the camera. The clips now play in stereo in QuickTime perfectly.
It's interesting to note that iMovie saves the clips as .dv file types, not .mov file types like FCPX does.
And it turns out the iMovie capture is *much* smoother. It actually "just works." Ingesting tapes with FCPX, I had to cross my fingers, spin on my head and pray three times to a statue of Steve Jobs before it would work (and even then it would do weird stuff).
The only downside of using iMovie is that it doesn't have the camera archive feature.
I really don't understand why, with $120 billion in the bank, Apple seems to be churning out software as an afterthought. No, software is not where they make their money, but they are ruining their reputation. Ah, well, first world problems.

Motion- Exporting with Compressor

I'm new to Final Cut Studio, and I tried to export a movie the other day, I did it with Compressor, and in the final version, I saw that in random places, it dropped a lot of my effects. Is there a reason that this happened? It was fine when i viewed it it Compressor.

The answer is Compressor and Motion are both buggy software applications and have been since day one so instead of using the features the applications supposedly feature, we have learned to not use certain features for fear of the ceiling falling in on us in the middle of a project.
For example, some people will tell you not to do audio in Motion, even though it has some great audio features, because of bugs with audio. They'll tell you to use Final Cut Pro for your audio (and ignore those nifty audio behaviors in Motion).
If you are rendering Motion projects in Compressor, realize that it's still using the GPU and video memory on your video card. So if it's rendering and you are in Motion doing other project work, or in another application that uses the GPU, this issue you are having might be because you are spiking the GPU's capability or RAM at that spot so it drops the frames in Compressor. Just a guess. We don't know. Good luck.

Strange. I can play all my clips in FCP 7, but can not export them via share, nor submit them via Compressor. What happened? Thank yiou for your kind help, I can not continue my work! FCP 7!

IMoviemobile export to Camera Roll will not play with quicktime on PC (video plays but with black screen, audio ok)

Videos created in iMovie on the new ipad will not play on PC with Quicktime after being exported to the Camera Roll and copied to the PC. Movie will play but with a black screen only. Audio ok. Was able to do before ios 6 but not now.

I'm having the same problem. All of the movies I export out of iMovie since upgrading to the latest version show up with no video, only audio, in Quicktime. Ironically the video place just fine in Windows Media Player and also in iTunes.
