No option for export pro res 422 from after effects cs6

There is no option for export prores 422 from after effects cs6 on new mac os 10.8.2 shows up and works on older mac 10.6.8
How can I get this option back?

I will guess that you used to have Final Cut Pro, but you no longer have it. Generally, only machines with Final Cut Pro installed are able to write to ProRes 422.
There are third-party codec packages that do write to the ProRes family of codecs. They have been discussed in this forum, and you could search for their names. I'm sorry to say that I don't remember them.

Exporting layers of audio from After Effects cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?

exporting layers of audio from After Effects cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?
Help - I have an After effects project with multiple layered files and want to copy these to Premiere / Audition. For example I know if you select multiple video files from After Effects these can be pasted straight into Premiere intact - but this does not work with audio. I want to take existing layered audio files from After Effects to Audition / or Premiere but can't copy and paste - is there a simple solution for this?

Hi thanks Dave for responding - yes that could work as a 'workaround' - I was hoping there would be a way I can keep the existing independent audio layers and corresponding audio levels from After Effects- in the same way I can copy and paste video files from After Effects to Premiere - rather than exporting a flattened AIFF /WAV from After Effects.
This would then allow me a lot more control working on the final edit - especially as currently a lot of the audio layers overlap. It does seem there is no simple solution for this, so otherwise I can do what you suggest - and 'stagger all the audio files' in sequence so they do not overlap on the timeline and then when I import the flattened exported AIFF file into Audition/ Premeire / I then can cut it up again and recreate the overlaps. Was hoping there might be a simple copy + paste method or other 'export method' but I guess this is simply not possible. It would save me about 7 hours of work, but not the end of the world I guess
One final point - some of the audio clips are .mp3s but the majority are WAVS, hopefully this should not create any issues on the export.
thanks again for your help, if you or anyone has any other solution pls let me know
Best

CS6 Export Settings for Apple Pro Res 422 HQ

My project is 1920 x 1080 (1.0) 23.976 fps, progressive and my special effects guy is asking for the project to be rendered out to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ. I can not find an export setting that offers 23.976 fps and is progressive. I have offered to give him an "XML" file but he is insistant. What can I do?

I believe you will only find this option on a Mac that has ProRes installed from some other application, like QuickTime Pro or Final Cut.

Exporting Pro Res 422 HQ

I have a customer that wants his output files to be delivered as a Pro Res 422 HQ .MOV file.
I have given him every possible output for Quicktime that is available in the Media Encoder for PPro5 and he has rejected every one
He refuses to even look at any file that is NOT in a .MOV container.
Does CS6 include Pro Rez outputs? Is there an aftermarket transcoder or plug-in that can do the job? Any help?

Hi Dave,
but the "hardware recorder" have a valid licence - for sure they don't use the Apple SDK because there is no MAC OS to run it on ;-)
"The group behind FFMBC have reverse-engineered the codec themselves, which places them at risk of legal action (particularly in the USA where software patents apply)."
If you plan to incorporate this into 2000 NLE's or plan to sell software with Prores support you better get a licence.
If you are a individual or small company using ffmpeg to render some Prores files...
If you just live you are placed at risk of legal action esp. if software patents apply.
"Adobe certainly isn't about to engage in that type of thing."
How does this help? What is adobe about to engage? Are they offering a solution to the problem or do they only don't suggest the passengers of the Titanic to take a liveboat because there isn't a captain on board to ensure secure operation?
Lot's of questions and still not a good answer for Premiere on Windows users to export Prores...

Log and Transfer: Options besides Apple Pro Res 422 ?

Hi, I am now using a camcorder that records files to a card. When I use Log and Transfer in FCP, the resulting files default to Apple Pro Res 422, which are absolutely huge. Is there a way to set this up to transfer to a smaller file type, maybe of a quality similar to HDV?
Thanks, BOb

There's a reason HDV files are small - they're highly compressed files. Final Cut is a professional product - it's built for high quality video, which requires storage space.
In some instances can change Log and Transfer preferences to transcode to ProRes422 LT, which is a lighter weight version of ProRes422. The files will be smaller, but they probably won't be as small as you're hoping they will be.
Open the Log and Transfer window. On the upper region there will be a gear, pick that and pick preferences. Find the camera type you're using and change the Target Format to ProRes422 LT if possible. As you did not tell us what kind of camera this is it is impossible to tell which one you need to change.
All that said, storage is pretty cheap. If you don't do a whole lot of editing a 320gb G-Drive Slim for $80 would be a great investment. If that isn't an option and you really need small files I would suggest editing in iMovie. I believe it converts everything to H.264, which is very small in comparison to ProRes. Don't try editing H.264 in FCP.

Color in .mov file from After Effects CS6

Scrren shot of how my animation looks in After Effects CS6 (on the left), vs. how it looks when rendered to a .mov file. (on the right). See how washed-out the colors look?
I am on a Mac, latest software versions and OSX.7.4. The source material is in RGB mode, Color Setting is Adobe RGB 1998, which is my wRGB working space. Color settings are synchronized across the entire suite. In the AE project settings, I see that color management is turned on and we are indeed in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
Possibly export settings, because I do not know thing one about those!

Read this FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?
Then I would suggest trying a different codec. When you send your comp to the Render Queue it says lossless next ot the Output Module Settings, that means that it's using After Effect's defualt lossless settings, which uses a codec called Animation. Animation is an ancient codec that delivers huge files and it isn't used so much in production anymore. If you click on lossless the Output Module Settings screen will come up where you can change the format of your render and you can change the codec by hitting the Format Options button.
I've seen that washed out issue before with the Animation codec and just did some tests. I also played with the Color Management settings using the Animation codec by going to the upper right hand tab in the Output Module Settings menu. That seemed to have no effect on the final look of the render. A quicktime render with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec seems to match the AE screenshot almost identically.
Unfortunately, you can't get the ProRes codecs without having either Final Cut Pro installed or Apple Motion. I think it's possible to buy them from the Apple website. However, there are other lossless codecs you can try such as Uncompressed YUV 10bit or 8bit, but I just did a test and I got a much darker render than the ProRes renders and the screenshot. Judge for yourself what's best...

How to export 4K H264 direct from After Effects?

When we try exporting our 4K project (4096x1707) direct form After Effects using H264 we get the yellow mismatch warning at the bottom. It then resizes the file to 2000x1707. Other formats work fine. If we take it to Media Encoder then H264 works fine but took over 30 hrs to render vs 6.5 hrs coming from AE using another codec. Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks
Mike

Short of motion picture theaters, I can't think of anything that can even play back in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
What device are you using for playback, and what kind of device are you using to show it? And if you have delivery specifications from someone else, what are they?

Export 720x1280 flv file from after effect

Hi
I made a verticle 720x1280 24fps composition in after effect and i need to render the flv file. But when i render flv its automatic resize the file to 720x1080.
how can i render the 720X1280 flv file. I need the flv file because i need to play it in digital signage software that only accept flv file.
Thanks
Hassan T.

Some formats are very particular about frame size. It's built in. Nothing you can do about it except follow the advice to always use the presets for AE comps unless you know exactly what you are doing. Your vertical file is a non standard FLV file size. Simple as that.
If you are going to use the rendered movie in a Flash project I'd suggest that you embed an h.264 file. Use the AME (Adobe Media Encoder) to render the file. It won't matter if the file is vertical or horizontal, but FLV files will always be resized. I would even go farther than that and use HTML 5 and Javascript so your project would be mobile compatible.

Hard drives for Logic Pro 8, Final Cut, After Effects, etc.

Hello gang, although i have read through many threads re: hard drive configs for different people's uses on many different forums (thats why i am here to get it straight from the apple's mouth) that i frequent and contribute to I have read everything from '10k drives only give a slight speed to boot up times' to 'with these 10k drives my machine is FLYING/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png'. The ladder posted by a crazy i am sure . So, If i were to purchase 2 10k drives (raptors are my only choice?) and use one for osx and my programs and the other for my scratch disk would i then use the stock 250 seagate that came with the machine as my itunes, pictures drive (i have an external FW800 750 seagate for back ups)? If i were to do this sort of configuration what would be my benefits if any at all? I had posted this in another forum and it pretty much had me more confused as people were going back and forth as to their PERSONAL preferences and it ran the gamut . I was hoping someone that uses the programs in the subject line or know what the new drives would do to make workflow more efficient. THIS IS THE LONGEST POST EVER. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my 1st Mac Pro so i would like to set this lovely lady up correctly. Again, thank you for making it this far if you have .
Best,
Pandasarus

Yes, the latest 300GB VelociRaptor is still king, and one G5 owner (not Mac Pro) installed three and was very pleased.
http://www.barefeats.com/hard103.html
There are other options.
A WD Caviar 640GB would do fine.
http://www.barefeats.com/harper14.html
RAID configurations of SAS vs SATA:
http://www.barefeats.com/harper13.html
TB drives: http://www.barefeats.com/hard94.html
Boot drive (doesn't have every model):
http://www.barefeats.com/harper9.html
I would go with 3 drives.
Backups: always have two or more so one is safe and off-line, things happen. TimeMachine plus SuperDuper backup clones combination.
Boot drive with just OS and applications, media drive, editing, and so you want to have a stripped scratch RAID.

After Effects CS6 export to Lightwave option isn't available

I'm trying to export a camera motion from After Effects CS6 to Lightwave 11.5, but the option isn't even available in the File>Export menu. Is there a special download I need to install?
I watched several tutorials, and none of them mention a special plugin.

I gave up on LW after that Core debacle and only loosely follow things there, but I would assume that the new workflow would require a specific plug-in to be installed similar to Cinema 4D's exchange plug-ins. Maybe refer to the LW help ofr ask on the NewTek forums...

Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export... no movie at the end of it

I just let an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) export go for four hours. At the end, there was no error message. There was also no movie. My sequence settings are for Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) as well. What happened?

were you doing a file: export: quicktime movie (NOT quicktime conversion) with current settings?
Have you done a search on your hard drives for the file name?
Was your target drive formatted macosextended? Some pc drive formats have a file size limit which might have caused a problem.
You might try doing a short export by marking an in and out in the timeline and see if that works.

When sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108

when sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108 and message saying could not complete because an error occurred when encoding frame 3297 - error 108!!!
what is this frame...is it a jpeg file i have imported...how do i locate it... its a 40 minute movie and it will share to dvd just wont let me create a quicktime .mov file... any suggestions.

What frame rate is the project? Divide the 3297 by the frame rate to get an approximate location? What are the specs of the media at that location, video and audio?

Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export - "render at max depth" and "24 bit or 48 bit depth"?

I'm exporting my 90 minute feature for DCP using the Apple Pro Res 422 HQ codec. The film is 1920x1080 and that is what the export will be. We used a variety of cameras (Canon 7D, Sony XR160, GoPro, Blackmagic in HD) for the film.
For the export options:
Do I check "Render at Maximum Depth"?
Which do I choose - 24 bit or 48 bit depth? - one has to be chosen even when "Render at Maximum Depth" is unchecked
When I asked the DCP house, they said that "Render at Maximum Depth doesn't actually do anything when using this codec" and haven't answered the 24 vs. 48 bit question.
This discussion:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4529886#4529886
says that you "never need to enable the Max Render Quality (MRQ) unless you are exporting in a format/pixel ratio different from your original video."
This discussion:

A question for you - what is your workflow where you think you might need this? Keep in mind that the majority of cameras only record 8-bit color, and also in a very highly compressed format, so you won't necessarily gain anything by going to 4444, as the source video is of limited quality already.
Basically, if you don't have any high-bit-depth sources in your timeline to preserve the quality of, there may be little or no benefit to enabling "Max Depth".

Exporting a DV PAL Timeline as Apple Pro Res 422.......Any Advantages????

Hello
Apart from the file space you save are there any quality advantages in exporting a DV PAL sequence to Pro Res 422? Some of my students are convinced that it looks better and plays better on their monitors.
I'm thinking that their final output will be DVD so will DVD Studio Pro allow you to import Pro Res 422? Is there any point being that the final sequence is going to be re-encoded to MPEG?
I'm yet to test things myself so any pointer would be great.
One particular student says that their QT sequence looks grainy in QT player where as Pro Res looks GREAT!!!
Thanks
Til

QT plays DV files at low quality by default. You can change it to high quality playback in movie properties: Apple + J.
You will not *add quality* transcoding the movie from one format to another. For DVD use you'll get the most of the quality exporting to MPEG2 using Compressor directly from your timeline with any extra transcoding in the middle.
Hope that helps !

Export to quicktime audio out of sync Apple Pro Res 422

hello forum!
In a tizz as have an film due tomorrow but when I export to quicktime from final cut 7, the audio is out of sync...
I've scoured the forums and lots of other people seem to have this problem when using H264, however I converted to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) before pulling files into final cut, plus all of the sequence and final cut settings (as far as I can tell) are already set to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT). I don't understand what I am doing wrong!
nb. the files seem to play okay in VLC

Thanks for your reply David! Indeed my audio is 16 bit 48 kHz and there is no MP3 audio (have a wav music file included).
I just spoke to a techy friend who said the fact it is playing smoothly in VLC indicates the problem is with quicktime and not with the film itself, so I am currently compressing to something smaller and will see how I fare from there!
