Motion strobe 24p export trouble

hey all.
new to posting but reading posts has helped a lot. thanks.
i am having trouble exporting files to DVD. i am getting ugly horizontal lines during movement within the frame whenever i burn to disc.
the material is 24p anamorphic in a 4:3 timeline. (it isn't squeezed, i'm playing it widescreen with black bars.) it is a multicam edit.
i have exported the files 'using quicktime conversion' and i've tried many different setting combos. there is minimal strobing on the quicktime files when i play back but exagerated strobing on the actual disc. in the final cut canvas the image looks great.
i am trying burn three programs ranging in length from 30 mins to 1:49 mins. i am dragging mpg-2 quicktime file into iDVD. (doing tutorials on DVDSP to learn now.)
these are the settings a friend instructed me to use.
method: 1-pass CBR (constant bit rate)
Data rate: 4000 for a 2 hour program, 7000 for a 1 hour program (do not exceed 7000)
Frame Size: 720, 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Field Encoding: Bottom field first
I Frame Rate: 15
additionally you want to make sure that the mpeg2 is set for deinterlacing.
just not sure what i'm doing wrong here. could it play the dvd burner itself? i've test multiple types of discs as well (including the apple brand.)
any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks,
dan hayes...
p.s. i've read the ken stone 24p stuff and other posts but haven't seen my exact problem.

wow.
thanks for the quick replies. wes. i am editing in a 29.97 timeline.
It sounds an awful lot like pulldown frames.
what exactly does this mean? (is it the half field explanation you provide?) my problem looks somewhat like this example. i have posted two screen shots on my blog if you wouldn't mind taking a look.
http://freethinkpictures.blogspot.com/
as per your suggestion i have tested my dvd's on both NTSC and progressive monitors. i see these horrible lines on both screens.
my impression is that i DO NOT need to do anything different/special to regular 24p footage (as opposed to 24pa). i imported in dv ntsc anamorphic (29.97) and edited the same way.
But while you may perceive this as a problem, it is not really visible played back on an NTSC interlaced monitor. You only see it on a progressive computer monitor...
i am making this DVD available to a group of people, they may use progressive or interlaced monitors, so i'm hoping to create a disc that can be played back on both.
thanks very much for your time. any additional feedback is appreciated!

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...

FCS/Motion 3:Library makes trouble - always

Hi,
I still work with Motion 3 and having trouble with the utility window. When I click on library or then switch between icon and list view the window freezes. Funnily enough I still can work with the other windows and panes. I know about deleting com.apple.motion.plist in the User/Library/Preferences. But I do this a couple of times each day which really is annoying and no solution.
What might cause the problem?
Thanks for any advice.

Howdy,
If you're on your MacBook Air with Intel integrated graphics, then Motion isn't supported. That's probably related to the crashing.

Motion 5 Share/Export Buttons Greyed out

Hi, just got Motion 5 on it's own for a project we're doing in FCP7 and for some reason all the "next" or "share" buttons in the export menus are greyed out or disabled. We've messed with a lot of settings but to no avail.
Is there something I'm missing here? There's nothing written on the Motion product page about requiring Compressor or FCP-X to export and I haven't found anyone else online with this issue.

So there's nothing I can do to get this fundamental part of the software working? It's pretty stupid if it can't save.
The only option I have to take this higher is to get Apple Care video and that's $800 for something that appears to be a bug in Motion validating an external framework. From a software design perspective, the only reason that I'd want to grey those buttons is if there were a setting in each dialog that you needed to set before you could export or you were only using a trial version and you wanted to stop people from exporting it or if the dependent framework (e.g. ProApps export manager) wasn't validated in the registry within motion.
If they throw anything else at me like you need FCPX or Compressor or Lion then that's not right either since they had no mention of that on their website when I purchased it.
This is just really frustrating!

Web Gallery export troubles w/ LR 2.3 update (Mac)

I regularly export web galleries (WG) using templates I have created. Earlier today I began having trouble, where LR2.2 would freeze
during a WG export, and I had to force quit LR.
At first, because LR was dragging so slowly, I thought it was a near-full startup disk, so I opened up 31 gb of free space, quit LR and restarted. After the problem reoccured, I thought it was because I had large Tiffs in the WG, which I had never done before, so I excluded them, but it did not help.
Finally I upgraded to LR 2.3, and immediately tried to output a small test WG. When I clicked 'save,' nothing would happen, that is,
the export window would disappear and there would be no indication in the progress bar that the WG was being created, and in Finder sure enough
nothing was created.
I tried several times. Then I tried it using my template without altering any text in the gallery, and it worked. I repeated this and it worked about 90% of the time. Then I tried it again with my larger web gallery (59 images) and again, nothing happened. I went
back to the simple gallery and it worked; back to larger gallery with text altered: did not work.
EDIT: I am finding it does not like a string of numbers in the "site info" boxes, such as my file number 090217.
Any ideas?
I am on an iMac Intel, with 4 gb ram, running 10.5.6
Thanks,
Jerry Mann.

>Bruce Morton:L.R. 2.3 windows and printer seem to be fighting for color control. I can not print in L.R. and get good colors. My monitor is calibrated and I have checked for a color managed by L.R. box. The color seems ok in CS4/Bridge. What am I missing or doing wrong? HELP!
There are quite a few printer related threads in this forum and you don't say what OS/printer you have but you could start here:

Motion won't export just hangs

I've been using Motion more recently and was wondering about a few things.
When exporting I often get a hang during exporting an HD project using the Sequence settings (ProRes 444). Motion just sits at frame 1 and doesn't advance. I have to force quit. Does anyone else have this problem and know of a solution? Is it caused by the render setting? A normal render setting seems to hang less.
Also, I have an early 2008 MacPro 2.8 GHz Dual Quad with 8 gigs RAM and the updated video card with 512 MB VRAM.
Can I use one of the newer MacPro 1 GB VRAM video cards in this 2008 MacPro and would that speed up Motion?
Thanks,
Richard

You should be able to note some kind of common threads in your crashes or failures. Types of source files? Destination disks? Do simpler projects render propelry?

Not likely any of the above but no way to tell from here.

Duno, you haven't stated the model of the cards you're talking about. The VRAM is only one factor but, generally, the more the better. The 5870 (or is 5780? card seems to be the best option now. Search down a few pages to see a post form me linking to an objective test of the available Motion cards.

24p export to Blue-ray

Could someone fill me in on the settings I need in ENCORE and PREMIERE PRO in order to successfully produce a Blu-ray disk from material recorded at 24P?
There are so many confusing settings in BOTH applications. I've tried originating my PREMIERE projects as 23.whatever, 24P as well as 29.97 and compressing them at the same rate. I have successfully transferred and produced a Blu disk, but longer files compressed in PREMIERE PRO (45 minutes plus) either won't import to ENCORE or will fail during the burn process, or will crash ENCORE altogether.

I am not sure if this will help, but I am having the exact opposite problem.
I shoot and edit with a 720P camera at 30 fps. Premiere CS3 allows me to create a project at those settings, but when I try to export BluRay 720P, the only option I have is 24FPS.
So... you can try exporting your project using Adobe Encoder > BluRay > 720P settings and it will give you 24 FPS as an option.

Motion with 24p

If I were working in Final Cut 7, using 1080/24p footage that I'd shot with a Sony HXR-NX5U, how would I go about setting up Motion so that what I created would be compatible with my FCP sequence, which is at 23.98? It seems the Motion templates are set at 29.97, but there are also Project Presets which let you choose different cameras and frame rates. Which one for the HXR-NXU5?

Well, if you use Send to Motion from FCP, the project should be created that matches your timeline.
Otherwise, chose custom from new project and alter the settings as appropriate.

Import/Export troubles

Hi,
I'm testing import/export scripts to export components
and pagegroups from a 10g (9.0.4.0.99) Portal (upgraded from 3.0.9.8.5), and import them into a fresh installed 10g
Portal instance.
I have some troubles with privileges on the components after the import: every component which had specific privileges (not inherited from DB provider)in the origin portal, seems to be imported with no privilege at all (only 'export' link is displayed) in the the new one.
Any idea?
I also have troubles importing pagegroups, export works bu no Pagegroup is created during import.
Any help would be great (before I log a Tar).
Thanks.
Christophe.

i'm also new to export/import portal, so i can reply just with a question.....where are the transport sets saved ???
I might also guess a solution at your problem:
did you placed a tick on the "Export Access Control List" option ??
bye

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.

Premiere CS3 and 24p exporting

Hello,
I've been working on this problem for a long time.
I have some clips shot with a Canon XL2 in 24p mode with 2:3:3:2 pulldown. I import in Premiere CS3 in a 24p project, go in "Interpreter footage" and set "Remove 24p pulldown", and in the timeline the clips are good, 24p without interlaced frames.
Then I go exporting: I want export in 24p (23,97) DV format.
1) If I choose "Microsoft DV AVI" with "DV (24p Advanced)", the clips I get are in 29,97 with still the flagged frame that should have been removed. So I have the same output format that I get setting DV NTSC with his 29,97 framerate.
2) If I choose "Microsoft AVI" and then I go with an alternative DV codec, such as the Panasonic's one (but I've tried many and I've got the same results, so I don't think it's their fault), I get a 23,97 clip, but the frame that has been removed is not the flagged and interlaced one, is one of the progressive. Watching the clip frame to frame I see that I have 24 fps: 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, and so on.
Let me know. Sorry for my bad english but I'm italian.
Thank you

My own testing shows that Premiere doesn't create 24p friendly DV files. I've had much better success creating 24p MPEG2-DVD files.

CS4 Exporting Trouble - Audio / Video Sync

I'm having a lot of trouble exporting from Premiere CS4. I have a 5 minute video project shot in 1920x1080 and I'm just trying to export it into a format that can support its HD. When I try the H.264 BluRay preset, though, the audio and video are hugely off sync from each other. I've exported smaller portions using the Windows Media Video format, and that looks great, but it won't render my entire video without the export failing due to an error.
Is there any way I can get this exported without selling myself short on quality?

Dang, for most users, the MainConcept H.264 has been about perfect.
Maybe another user will have some ideas on the OOS issues. Most of those seem to revolve around Apple's H.264, but that is not the case with your Project. Sorry that I could not help.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Exporting Trouble

Hey guys, I have been having trouble whenever I export my video. I have a video all set up, ready to export (all rendered) and
it doesn't matter what format, file type, size, quality, or anything, it just keeps doing this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb2qt3XHFhI
It seems like some of the clips aren't loading correctly, or something.
Help would be appreciated. I just need this done, and I have no clue why it is doing this.
Thanks!

This looks like it could be the problem. The thing is though, I exported it once, and I had no trouble at all. It just seems odd to me. But the time remapping is just like,
Time Remapping- Speed 100.00%- Velocity 100.00 / second
So should I just create a new sequence, with the settings such as "AVCHD - 720p - AVCHD 720p60" ? or should I have the frame rate the same as the clips?
If you have google talk, we can use that, it would be a lot simpler than doing this, and would provide faster help. [email protected] is mine.

XML export trouble

Im trying to create a dynamic photo gallery using Spry and XML that will ultimately resemble the spry gallery demo(http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/). My troubles occur when i attempt to create a dataset off of a dynamic recordset in an XMLexport.php file (like the tutorial - Using XML Export to create dynamic Spry data sets) i have trouble.
I have my dynamic XML file named export.php and when i navigate to export.php it displays the data in the proper format (xml style). My trouble comes when i try to incorporate export.php into my XML dataset. I navigate to the file and click schema and i get a Design Time Feed error. The first line states that it failed to get schema from dynamic data, it then ask me to provide a design time feed.
When i close the pop-up window i get an error message in the row element window of the - invalid document structure (1,1).
What am I missing when i do this?
Just so its easy to establish my document structure i use Xampp on my laptop with htdocs being my root and each site in their own folder within htdocs. I have my localhost set to htdocs so the database will.
Cheers
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I navigate to the file and click schema and i get a Design Time Feed error. The first line states that it failed to get schema from dynamic data, it then ask me to provide a design time feed
at this point Spry´s Dreamweaver UI expects a "hardcoded" XML file containing all the nodes & values etc -- the XML structure and data of your export.php will be parsed and generated by your server, but Dreamweaver itself is no web server and can´t parse PHP files from within.
That said, code yourself a real XML file containing just one node with "dummy" data, and make sure that its XML structure plus data format will be identical to what your export.php file will also generate -- use this static XML file to feed Spry´s UI, and when your page can be considered "ready for consumption", replace the pointer to your "dummy" XML file with a link to export.php

MOTION not allowing export of project after MAVERICKS upgrade. What do I do?!

After upgrading to MAVERICKS, MOTION 5 has no response when I choose to export my project.

When you say "no response", what do you mean? Does the share menu not come up? Are the options grayed out? Does Motion freeeze? You'll need to be more specific.
As starting points, I'd recomend deleteing the application and re-installing it. Also, do you use any third party applications like MacKeeper?
