Need help exporting video

(I have Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm pretty new to it)
All my videos are 640 by 480 AVI files and the frame rate is 30fps. What are the best settings to export these videos at?
For some reason when I set the dimensions at the beginning to 640 to 480, and then I set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to "Square Pixels" because that is the only setting that will give me a 4:3 ratio, which is what I need since the videos are 640 by 480. But when I go to 'Export', the dimensions have been changed to 720 by 480, and I can't change the settings. What should I do? (I'm trying to save them as AVI)

Can you give us the full details of these AVI files. If you do not have that, the great, free utility, G-SPOT will give it to you.
You will want to set your Project/Sequence to that. If necessary, choose Desktop for the Preset and then fill in all of the attributes to match your source footage.
What do you wish to Export to?
What is your delivery scheme?
That will determine your Export settings in AME. You will need to choose a Preset that matches that. You have probably chosen a DV Preset.
Good luck,

Need help exporting videos in final cut

Hi guys, I have been using Final Cut for about 6 months now and I am STILL having trouble exporting my files. I mean there are so many options I am unsure which one to choose.
This current wedding video I did for a client...due to my lack of expertise, the footage turned out very grainy. I still put together a decent video, and it was time for me to export the video in order to upload on vimeo. I do not know the proper settings to use when uploading to vimeo, so I just use Final Cut's Quicktime Conversion and I just export the file with LAN/Intranet settings. When I saw this footage, I noticed the grain was ALL GONE... but has aliasing
question # 1...why did this happen?
If I export the file as quicktime movie, the grain is all still there.
When its time for me to burn the movie, exported sending the the file to compression, and then using DVD: Best quality 90 minutes setting
when I saw the footage, GRAINY again!!
I threw the smaller file which had no grain on it but had aliasing...and the dvd, looked okay but the aliasing was still there, so obviously I'm doing SOMETHING wrong..
here's the file
http://vimeo.com/5312419
pass: vimeoaccount101
Question #2: What is the best way for me to export my movies so that I see minimal grain and no Aliasing..
Thanks!

First of all let me say you do great work. I was very impressed! I would hire you to do my wedding.
#1 As far as vimeo is concerned if you go to their help section they have very clear instructions as to the best specs for uploading video.
#2 With the graininess & Aliasing, we need to know more info. What camera/s did you use and at what settings(e.g. interlaced, progressive, etc.)
Off subject, I am curious to know how you achieved your pan effect. Was it hand held, did you use a glidecam? Once again I am a fan of how you pick and choose your shots...great work! You should be doing movies, not weddings.

Need help exporting video to avi

Please if anyone can help with advice on exporting to avi it
would be much appreciated.
I have Adobe Flash CS3. I continue to try and export the fla
file to an avi and go through the process of selecting the
appropriate sound settings, codec, etc; however when I complete the
export there is no file composition or export taking place, like it
happens instantaneously. Then I go to the directory where the file
was exported, it exists; however it won't play and the file is very
small. It's like there is nothing in the file.
I have reinstalled flash several times and this continues to
happen. Any one else experienced this issue or have a workaround or
any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
SCISGR8

I guess I don't understand what you're saying. I don't know
what you mean by saying that "it doesn't show movie clips". A
different encoder wouldn't have anything to do with what's being
shown except for the amount of compression artifacts.
If you mean that the uncomprssed AVI plays kind of
herky-jerky, that's normal. Most home computers don't have the
horse power to play them very well if they're more than a few
seconds in length. But after you compress them they'll be fine.
I upload stuff to YouTube all the time. Don't believe the
silly hype about DIVX. Windows Media 9 is the best codec for small
file sizes like YouTube requires. The only problem is keeping them
in sync with the audio. The best solution I've found is to use an
NLE like Premiere to convert your uncompressed AVI to a DV-AVI but
with 16/44.1 sound and bring that into Windows Movie Maker to
convert it to a wmv file. WMM doesn't dither sound correctly so
you'll want to have it as 16/44.1 before you bring it in.
But if you take a DV-AVI file with 16/44.1 sound into WMM and
output a wmv file, I gaurantee you it will look and sound as good
as possible on YouTube.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Need help exporting animation to Wordpress (I've looked at all the tutorials I could find).

Alright, I've been working on a slide show animation for sometime now, but I need to export it to wordpress and I can't exactly understand how to do it correctly. I've even used the edge wordpress plugin, but it doesn't seem to work at all (I tried on two different sites, first seems to be a projram script error, the other site didn't upload anything). I've done a few of the tutorials floating around but none of them make sense to me, I don't know exaclty which parts of code to edit and in which clients to work them in. If someone could help make these five hours of confusion make sense for me that that would be amazing.
Where should I start on trying to get my animation to wordpress?

I've come with the same issue myself. I love Adobe Edge and i find it dead easy to make wonderful stuff there, though making it work in Wordpress has become a challenge. I followed the instructions in this video and in this guide and they seem to work only if you happen to use wordpress with a plain theme with no fancy jquery animations and functionality using these libs. I tried intergrating an Edge animation in my wordpress site, though because i happen to use a theme with a slider which uses jquery, when following the instructions step by step then neither the slider worked neither the edge animation itself. I found somewhere that you need to edit some .js libs using the noconflict mode though that did not work either (it was an example for joomla).
I tried installing the Edge Suite wordpress plugin which is still in developing stage. You need to export your Edge composition using the File > Publish tool found in edge in order to import the .aom files. Unfortunatelly no luck with that. I'm still looking for a solution in order to make animations for my website. I sent a tweet to Adobe Edge and they refered me to the support forums. Uhg!
I'm sure there's a workaorund using the .js libraries. Im not experienced with them so i'll have to wait for a solution to come about. I'm sorry for not helping though be sure to check the links above

Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
I looked all over on how to fix this..
So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8170/ituneshelp.png
I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

Need help exporting .mov files for editing in PE3

hi,
i'm trying to export HD .mov files from an Aiptek GO-HD camcorder that seems to record in QT format with some funky codecs. I need to export it into a format that i can edit on a PC using Premier Elements 3.0. The few tests i've run have shown a huge increase in size when exporting from .mov to .avi (100m to 30 GB).
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing this?

You just need to open the .mov file with Elements.
You don't need to convert it using QuickTime Pro
first.
Premiere may "convert" it to some other format to
allow editing (I don't know) and that would only take
some time at import.
HD files are anywhere from 10 to 60 MB's per second
(some even higher) so a DV version will drastically
increase in file size.
What, besides editing, is the goal of your work?
that doesn't work with this camcorder. apparently the encoding is called QT, but it really isn't. i have to export into something else in order to edit.
the goal of my work is to convert choppy family video into something clean that i can share with friends and family via CD / DVD (not streaming on net).

I need help export on dvd premiere pro cs4

Hi, I am a new consumer of Premiere Cs4 and I need help. I have used, in my life, only simple authoring programs as well as Pinnacle studio and now I have some problems with Premiere. I hope that someone help me and it answer my simple questions.
1) In studio I knew, in real time, how much space the project occupied on the DVD but in premiere? How I can know speedily how much space occupied my project? I have noticed that the space occupied is visualized in encore but it is the unique methods for to have this information?
2) Because the space occupied from the project not change when I change the preference of project? An example: I create a project and I export it in encore. I set bitrate 8 and the project occupied 50mb. If I change the bitrate, an example 6, the space occupied not change! Why?
thanks

Projects don't have a bitrate. You choose your desired bitrate when you export.
You will find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Need help with videos!!! Please

i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

Need Help Converting Video

Hello - I have a couple of separate questions that I need help with. I know basic FCP. I have FCP7. I recently shot a wedding with 2 different cameras. Both are HiDef Cameras. 1 Camera is a Prosumer Camera where the files were taking off the camera and imported by Final Cut. The second is a new, home camcorder which saved the files into a hard drive in MPEG 4 format.
I need to marry the two. I can import the all the files (from both cameras) directly into the timeline. But the ones from the camcorder (the mpeg4s) seem to have that "hitchy" feel to them when I play them back. Also, both types of files (even the ones that were directly imported into Final Cut from the Prosumer Camera) have the "render" lines when they are in the timeline, so I constantly have to render which takes forever.
The files that were imported directly into FCP from the ProSumer camera were imported on a different computer with a different version of FCP, so when I drag them into my timeline it tells me that they were from a different version and asks me if I want to update for my version. If I click YES then it stretches the files from 16:9 to 4:3. If I say NO then it keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio, but adds yet another layer of render I need to do.
Normally I do simple, Standard Def edits where I import things into the timeline via FCP7 with firewire from a deck and edit directly from there, then firewire back to the deck. Simple - no rendering, etc. My questions are as follows:
1 - Do I need to reset my timeline settings because I am now working with HiDef? Or does FCP automatically know that it is HD and it doesnt matter how I drag it into the timeline?
2 - Do I need to convert the MPEG 4 files to quicktime format, or does it not make a difference
3 - When I export, what settings would I use to keep it in HiDef. I am only going to make DVDs with it.
4 - Is there a way to do it so that I do not have to render constantly while editing
5 - To view, I am firewiring out to a deck which is then going into a Standard Def monitor. Is that the reason the footage appears "hitchy"?
Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have any help, please drop me a note at [email protected]
Thanks

YOu need to learn how to use FCP. Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record. This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit. Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly.
You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP. No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...). It needs to be converted to ProRes. And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals. 4-5 times larger. That's how FCP works.
Here's a quick tutorial to get you started. But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.
