.mov export

I'm trying to export a .mov from a .fla file.
Strange thing is happening. When I export the .mov, there are small sections of the vector animation that are missing or not showing up like missing puzzle pieces.
I can't find anything about this.
I've tried many different settings and they yield similar results.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi waterdad 658. Thanks for your reply.
No, I haven't tried exporting to .flv. I don't see that option. When I go to File > Export > Export Movie, I see the following options:
SWF Movie
Quicktime
Animated GIF
PICT Sequence
JPEC Sequence
GIF Sequence
PNG Sequence
I export to Quicktime .mov and I tried all the different settings but the exported .mov file still looks degraded.
I haven't tried third party software either since it should work in Flash.
Thanks.

  • SWF movie export on frame-by-frame basis WITH actionscript

    Hi there,
    I know they're two ways of exporting flash movies:
    Export the whole timeline. This only allows timeline animations and gets messy because you have to cram up everything on the main timeline.
    Realtime-Export via Quicktime. This is a "full blown" export, but heavily dependent on CPU power or speed of harddrive, depending on resolution.
    I also work a lot with music programs and there is an option called "mixdown". This will render the whole song - as fast as the processor is capable - to a WAV-file. So time doesn't matter anymore, notes don't get skipped, etc.
    I would like to see something like this in flash, too. WITH actionscript.
    I just want flash to export one frame for each "onEnterFrame" event, NOT when the timer tells you, it's time for a "next frame". So this would mean not to trigger the onEnterEvent when the appropiate time has passed, but to trigger it, when the next frame can be exported.
    Libraries like "TweenLite/Max" are capable of doing frame-based animations, independent from the timer, so everything on that end is pretty fine.
    Would be so great if that was possible in any way.
    Is it already in CS5? Or maybe an option in CS6... argh, so many years to wait...
    until then, I have to measure the fps, look out for the lowest number, export at THAT framerate (in most of the cases just 4 or 5 fps, even on a very fast computer - just because 2 or 3 frames happen to render slower than the other 200) and afterwarts set it to 25 again (I use Blender to do this)

    Greg-
    Good Lead - Thanks.
    I learned that having skinned components (which this uses)
    keeps this preloader from working properly. The results were
    unstable. It looks like a great little preloader for other things
    though.
    I also learned that it's a problem that others have
    encountered and that hasnt been solved yet...

  • White lines on movie exported in DVD

    ehi guys. I did just a nice movie with the suggestions of some members of this forum but at the end the quality of a 30minutes movie exported in DVD was not so much principally because of some white lines present in some pieces of the movie. These white lines are not clearly detectable, but still they disturb the vision. I guessed that this effect was  due to the low ram of my laptop (512MB). is that correct?

    It sounds like it *could* be an interlacing issue, especially as it appears on the TV, and not the computer. Chances are that the computer's progressive scan masks this issue, while the TV's internaced display shows it.
    Now, are all of the source Clips on the same Timeline the same? Were they all Captured via PE from a miniDV camera, over a Firewire connection, or are the from mixed sources? Having this problem come in during the play of the DVD indicates that it might be some of the source files, but not all of them.
    More detail on the Clips would help. In the Project Panel, you can get the properties of each of your source Clips. Listing those would be a good start.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] Antonio,
    If it is a Field Reversal interlacing issue, you might get some useful information from this current discussion.

  • What does error -2125 mean when movie exporting fails?

    I have a problem exporting a 4-hour movie (720p DV video) that has been acquired and exported by EyeTV 2.3.2 as an iMovie 9 project and assembled in said project.  Some 10-14 hours later after starting a movie export in iMovie for Apple (HD) TV resolution, iMovie displays the dialogue: "Unable to prepare project for publishing—the project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)".
    What is causing this error and how can I resolve it?  The project is about 87 GB large as exported by EyeTV and I have about 194 GB free space on my work volume (which is not the system startup volume) that holds the iMovie project.
    Being such a generic error, it is apparently a problem that isn't expected or popular.  Any clues about this error would be muchly appreciated.  I'll work on it some more, but I'm getting nowhere fast!
    I'll write some more tech details about the system experiencing the problem a little later, but off the top of my head, it's iMovie 9.0.4 on a MacBook Pro (Core Duo) w/ 2 GB of memory and Mac OS X 10.6.7. Running Activity Monitor shows nothing abnormal to disks or CPU usage during the export, and there is no resource exhaustion for the entire time exporting is in progress.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    There are two kinds of sizes - one must keep in mind
    • Gbs - when regarding to store video material on hard disks - then how hd is formatted as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - Doesn't work due to the 4Gb limit - HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended (HFS)
    • DURATION - Movie time + MENU time - an d this is Vital in regard to iDVD - as Gbs Mbs etc. doesn't matter at all. I've 500Mb movies that do not fit and 50Gbs that fit nicely.
    Culprit here is most often the menu that can hide duration in many places one of them picture buttons - as they get same time/duration as movie dropped into them even if only one frame is showed and no animation. Other things is Menu audio that also can consume large Duration times.
    So - as I wrote in another answer.
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large (in TIME - Duration).
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choise of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choise of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)
    So - You have added together all things except use of strange file formats to make this as hard as possibly
    • 4 hours of material - DL-DVD is about 3:45 with as simple menu possibly - no photos, no audio or no animation - STILL TO MUCH
    • I have about 194 GB free space on my work volume (which is not the system startup volume) that holds the iMovie project. - YES BUT - Neither iDVD or Mac OS can use this space for it's temp. files - Space has to be on the Start-up hard disk - about 25Gb free space when using SD-video and about 4-5 times more when using HD-video. This can not be addressed to other hard disks.
    • iMovie 9.0.4 - Well in regard to quality this is not good. As iDVD is SD interlaced video. So using iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut will result in much better result as they don't discard every second line on Export to iDVD.
    • In iMovie'09 - Don't Share to iDVD - BUT - Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD) - helps a bit
    Yours Bengt W

  • Failed movie export, help

    I have a project I am working on that is causing me grief. The movie clips started out as Sanyo Xacti HD1000 1080i clips. That still doesn't seem to work with QuickTime above version 7.1.6 (and I had trouble een with that). I ran the clips through MPEG Stream Clip turning them into 720p clips and those play fine in QT Player and iMovie 08 though sometimes they're a bit jerky in iMovie 08 playback for reason I don't get. The proejct starts off with a cross-fade in, introl music at the start of the first photograph, a set of Ken Burns' photos with voice over and a couple transitions. Then the music fades and the first video clip should start. What happens when I export a movie using any of the iMovie export menu options is that the first clip does not start though the audio is playing just fine. The video doesn't start to play properly until about 2/3rds into the entire video and then it seems fine.
    Why is my video failing to play properly? What can I do to fix this? I cannot re-shoot the video. This is very frustrating.
    ** Ken **

    Whatever was wrong isn't now. I don't have an explanation of why it's working properly now, but it is.
    I have noticed that iMovie can be a bit flakey about clips it plays and does not play. For example, I crated a clip of slides that are positioned in different locations. THe process went like this:
    1. Create a single slide slideshow with fade in and fade out for each slide using iMovie 08.
    2. Export the movies I just made in step 1.
    4. Create a movie of a black background that is the appropriate length for the entire slideshow clip and proper size (a 720p clip) and export the clip. In this case that is a 10 second clip with a 9 second voiceover.
    5. In QT Player (Pro version of QT) open the movies exported in #2 and #4.
    6. Select one of the individual slideshows, select all, and copy
    7. Go to the background movie, place the cursor at the appropriate start point, do Edit->Add Movie
    8. In movie Properties go to the Visual Settings for the just added clip and re-position (scaling was not needed since they were sized properly already) the track to where it should be.
    9. Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 for the remaining slideshow clips.
    10. After all slides have been added save the movie as a self-contained movie.
    This worked great. I had a little MOV file that played just fine. But when I imported it into iMovie 08 the new movie did not play properly. The slides never appeared.
    I returned to QT Player and exported the movie as a MP4/h.264 file and re-imported that into iMovie 08 and it worked fine. At least in this case iMovie had a problem with the multiple video tracks that were positioned in different locations in time and space relative to the first (background) track.

  • .mov export problems

    Hello,
    I have a new WinXP computer with CS3 Master Collection and
    Quicktime 7.2. When I export a movie (file > Export Movie) the
    progress bar moves all the way to the end and hangs there. I never
    get my completed file. I can see a .dat file, but the process never
    completes to give me the .mov.
    I have tried the Animation and H.264 codecs with the same
    results. I am also able to product AVI files with no problems.
    Help or suggestions are greatly appreciated,
    - Jon

    I found another post on this forum that resolved my issue.
    For anyone else having this problem with MOV export, make sure you
    do the following:
    - Create a stop() command at the last frame of the animation
    - Make sure there are no frames after the stop() command
    Once I removed the frames after my stop() command, the export
    completed just fine.
    Cheers,

  • QT7: movie export using h.264 codec results in darker colors/loss of white

    Movie export using QT inbuilt H.264 (Sorensen and Mpeg4, too) codec results in a shift of white to soft grey (about 5 .. 10% of black). This also pertains all colors used. It looks like a certain amount of grey is added to all colors, that darkens whole movie.
    I don't have a clue where this comes from. It can be reproduced, even when using a 2 seconds single picture slideshow. Think it's Apple's turn now ...
    Found a work around for *.mov video files containing a single video track.
    Use QT for this:
    - Open video file which has to be compressed. In Properties window, select the video track and click Visual Settings and flip video horizontally. Save by name.
    - Open flipped video and compress using H.264 codec
    - Open compressed video, use Properties window, select the video track, click Visual Settings and flip video horizontally again. Save by name.
    That's it. White is back again, colors differ slightly, but that's ok.

  • I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
    It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
    You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
    What version of FCP X are you using?
    All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

  • How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro?

    How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac???
    thanks

    How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac?
    Most FCP users export them in a high-effeciency distribution/delivery compression format (e,g,, H.264/AAC) targeted for a particular application and/or device. For example, you could export using H.264/AAC at full display resolution for playback in the QT Player at an appropriate data rate if your platform and display can handle the output. TV would limid the video to 960x540 at 30/29.97 fps and normal AAC audio to 160 kbps at 48.0 KHz. Files exported for display an the Internet would be restricted by the bandwidth being targeted. Etc, etc, etc. Unless the file will only be played on your own platform, what you do not want to do is use an FCP only compression format which would limit viewers to those recipients have the same FCP codecs installed.

  • Can't get Movie Exported in Quicktime format to work in iWeb and Website

    Help!! I just completed a movie in iMovie and exported it in Quicktime Format. It loads into iWeb seamlessly, and I can view it in iweb, but once I save the files to a folder and then the folder to my host (Godaddy, for what it is worth) I get the Blue Quicktime Q with the question mark in the middle. I have downloadd the movie in different sizes, from as much as 19 Mb down to 4.5 Mb and it is all the same. It is for a real estate listing I have. For what it is worth. I created my first website in iweb 1.0 and imovie 06 (http:www.1055Prince.info) and it works great. I created my second website with iweb 2.0 and imovie 08 (http:www.1045Prince.info) and it will not work. I like the design of the 2.0 template better, but I like the fact that the 1.0 template is working flawlessly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    iWeb writes very clever page code and your page had a very common error.
    http://www.1045prince.info/VideoTour_files/VideoTour.js is a file created by iWeb that points to your QuickTime file.
    If you use the Finder to edit the name prior to Publishing in iWeb things will be just fine and the link will work as designed. Do not edit any file name before uploading to your server and make sure your files use "Web safe" naming schemes (no spaces, punctuation or illegal characters) and the proper file extension.

  • Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

    When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
    resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
    frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
    etc...
    As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
    frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
    The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
    medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
    I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
    with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
    Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
    Thank you,
    Olivier.

    The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
    feature - not the feature itself but how it
    works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
    almost unusable unless you have a very
    short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
    generated effects or something - otherwise,
    for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
    enough and not fast enough for any real
    world production environment.
    So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
    it takes any SWF and makes it into an
    AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
    quite incredible - enough so that I
    always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
    as Wacom tablets).
    Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
    Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
    are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
    - Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
    it was never really designed for animation to video even
    though many of us have found it suitable
    for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
    production.
    But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
    deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
    to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
    (Mac users could always choose to export
    to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
    For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
    timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
    the SWF2Video tool.
    hope this helps.

  • How do you improve quality of QuickTime movie exported from Flash?

    Hi
    I have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro.  I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
    I have tried various export settings and followed a few tutorials online but still having no success!  If anyone can make any suggestions I would really appreciate it or is there even another file format that can be used with Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks for your advice!!

    Whenever I export an animation out for video, I always export it uncompressed.  It gives a very large file, but then you don't have to worry about it getting compressed multiple times (as the video will be compressed when completed), and I have not had any problems with it.
    If you are still having problems with QT export - I have heard reports that setting a time in the export (stop after X time, rather than stop at last frame) will get rid of it.
    And, if you still have problems exporting to QT, then I suggest exporting to AVI and converting to MOV with a separate tool.

  • Mov Export and Flv

    Hi all,
    I want to upload a flash animation to video hosting website like YouTube, Metacafe. I've Flash Pro Mx 2004 and QuickTime Pro 7.1.6. I converted a flash animation (frame-to-frame, and tween. No Action script other than "stop" at the end) This runs good on QuickTime.When I try to upload it on Metacafe it uploaded successfully but don't run, though it gave correct movie duration. I tried to convert the file using Movavi but it couldn't read the file by giving an error "file damage or broken". I also tired online converter but they also failed to convert the mov file (may be due to the same reason as with Movavi application). I don't see any other suitable format on QuickTime>Export other than MP4. But this turns the video quality into a nightmare.
    The second problem I'm facing that I don't see flv exporter in MX 2004. I searched the net and did as they suggested. Import file into Library>Library>Select mov file>Properties>Export. The problem with me is that I don't see any Export option in Properties dialog box.  I also installed Flash Video Converter that had come with MX 2004.
    So need your help. Please let me know where the problem lies and how can I solve it? Or any other suggestion in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi all,
    I've solved my problem that I was facing regarding converting .mov file. I downloaded ZD Soft Screen Recorder and recoded my animation on it. You can record your animation in Avi and Wmv format with it. And the movie quality is also good. Those who are facing problem with their mov format while converting it can try this recorder and can upload their animation on web as movie clip.

  • How to determine AAC setting in a .MOV exported from FCS?

    I've got a small problem. I create a H.264 .MOV for use with an external product (Windows based) that is VERY picky about using AAC audio and very specific settings. So I was playing around with AAC settings (44.1K, Normal, bit rate, etc.) and finally go a working exported .MOV (working in the sense my other application can use it without a problem).
    Unfortunately, I didn't fully document exactly what I used when doing the "Export using QuickTime Conversion" from within FCP.
    I've tried using QuickTime and Sound Track Pro and Compress and in Finder Info to reveal the Audio settings used to produce the AAC that goes with the video, unfortunately nothing provides the exact details I need -- such as what Quality setting was used, what bit rate was used (ABR, VBR, CBR) etc. etc. Is there anything that can help me extract this info so I can duplicate my process again?
    Thanks, Rob.

    Get Info will not show the exact setting I used for AAC, just shows AAC and the sample rate (i.e. 44,100). What I need to know are:
    Render Settings Quality:
    Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
    MPEG 4 AAC LC Encoder Settings
    Encoder Strategy:
    Average Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate Constrained, Constant Bit Rate
    Target Bit Rate:
    64, 72, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320
    As you can see 117 possible permutations....ugh, I'm using Grab now, but a little post facto. There also doesn't appear to be any way to create a savable Preset for "Export using QuickTime Conversion" once I finally get the right setting.
    Not sure why my other application is so picky about the AAC setting, but it seems I have to get it just right (that application encoders are based on an older version of MainConcepts).
    Thanks, Rob.

  • MOV exported from FCP7 won't play on Mac

    iMac with OSx 10.5.8. My daughter exported a movie from Final Cut Pro at her film school into mov format. It shows as HDV. We were told that MPEG 2 would allow us to play this, so I purchased that add-on, but no luck! Quicktime just vaguely tells us that it needs a codec, but no clue as to what.
    I've installed perian in the hopes that this might help, but also nothing. We get a black screen for video, but can hear the audio. She's actually just going to cut it to a DVD tomorrow, but we run into this issue frequently trying either to import things into Final Cut Pro or watch what has been exported out, and it would be nice to know how to fix the issue so that we can see this obviously awesome movies she's creating
    Any help appreciated.
    Danita

    HDV isn't a MPEG-2 video so the playback component you brought won't help. HDV is an editing format not a delivery format. Your going need Final Cut Pro on your computer to be able to play the video. The work around is for your daughter is to send you the video in the h.264 format. All Macs and Windows (if the have Quicktime 7 installed) computers can play this video format.

Maybe you are looking for
