No option to export as AVI?

Hi,
I am having problems with AME CS6 - having upgraded from 5.5. Initially running AME CS6 was a nightmare and it hung on loading the QuickTimeEncoder - the best fix for which was reply 15 (Seth) here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4540908 - thank you so much.
Now, however, I have no option to export as AVI - I had to completely reinstall and then overcome a "not activated" issue to get more export options than just H264 and FLV - once I did that and got a more comprehensive export list, it still omits AVI - has it been dropped as a standard? I doubt it, but I am at a loss - any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Ah, I had not made that connection. I have known export options like wmv from my mac in the past, but have recently switched to AME. For backwards compatibility, where windows can export dv, mov etc which are mac compatible, I feel the same should have been true for mac! For my colleagues with windows machines locked down by admin control who cannot install any decent encoders, I need to export as mpeg1 (yes 1 of all things) or avi for powerpoint purposes! At a bit of a loss now what to do to get my .mov files out to windows users with a limited system - them changing their system is not an option!

How can i export as AVI uncompressed in Premier Pro?

Theres a simple question here. How do you export as AVI uncompressed? There are a number of people asking this question on the forums although answers are always steered elsewhere.
I currently have Adobes cloud service and there ISN'T the option to export as AVI uncompressed. Have adobe decided not to facilitate this now?
Just in case i get another response from someone saying well what are your purposes for this type of export when there are so many presets that will satisfy your exporting needs.. For glitch purposes its important to export as AVI. Please help.

Thanks Ann
Unfortunately there isnt an AVI option at all. According to other responses i have just seen, you need the below:
"Either get a PC for that job or export as MOV and convert to an AVI wrapper."
Heres the drop down menu so this is completely clear.
But MOV isnt provided either!

Not getting an option of exporting in mpeg 4 format? AVI file the size of the file is extremely huge

Hi,
I am not getting an option of exporting in mpeg 4 format? Infact when I am rendering in AVI file the size of the file is extremely huge. Please can somebody help me in reducing the file size & exporting in MPEG4 format.

You need to learn about encoding. The default file type is Lossless for a reason. If you are using Ray-tracing and you have a supported Cuda card you must use the Adobe Render Cue. If you are not using Ray-traced rendering then you should be using the Adobe Media Encoder.
This will get you started: Basic Workflow, the last section is on rendering.

CS4: Exporting "lightweight" AVI with chapter marks?

Prior to CS4, I recall being able to export a "lightweight" AVI file using black video filler and the "Expand Stills" option that would contain chapter marks. You could import this AVI into Encore, where the chapter marks would be recognized, and then use the "Replace Asset" option to replace the AVI with an M2V encoded in a different encoder. This worked great--but I can't seem to get it to work any more. I'm guessing that whatever enabled this feature was forcibly extracted when the Media Encoder went solo, but if not--how the heck do I do this?

Don't see anything like that in CS3. Closest thing to it is this: Export / movie / settings / compile settings ....

Is there an "export as AVI" file size duration limit?

I would have thought this question had already been addressed, but my choice of key-words didn't find any recent discussions.
I created a 5-minute movie (iPhoto stills w/ Ken Burns effects). Saved as H.264 encoded QT movie at 768x576 size, but it will be shown on a PC, and I'm uncertain as to whether I'll find the most recent version of QT (or, ANY version) on the PC. I noticed iMovie HD has an AVI export option under the expert settings, so I tried exporting an AVI version. Compression time was only a fraction of the H.264 compression (big "plus" as I'll be doing one of these a week), and the quality was excellent... so, what's the "but"? No matter what option combinations I try, only the first 30 seconds of my movie are exported (which explains the short compression time).
Since the H.264 version is under 400 MB, there's room for a copy of the QT for Windows installer on the CD, so I just need to arrive early enough in case I need to install QT (I'll want to transfer the movie to the PC's hard drive anyway), but I'm curious to know whether there is a known reason for this limitation, or whether I'm missing something obvious.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to Windows Media Player formats without additional software and expense.
I understand that, but when you're choosing an export option in iMovie (not explicitly in QT), one is not likely to make such an otherwise tangential association.
Can I infer (from your reference to QuickTime Pro) that the export to WMV option in iMovie would appear only when a QuickTime Pro license is present?

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

Export to .avi causes windows to dump QT pro

qt pro 7.1.3 XP sp 2:
ALWAYS dies if I try to export to .avi
Any ideas?

What compression are you attempting to use? Avi is a container so it can use any of numerous codecs to compress the content and the one you are using could be the problem. If you are not sure what codec is used then click on Options in the Export window and the Settings window should tell what compressor is in use.

Text fades mess up when exporting to AVI

Hi,
I'm doing some pretty simpe text fades in flash by changing the alpha from 100% to 0% for a piece of text.
This works fine in the SWF export, but when I export to AVI the text corrupts (shifts, expands and looks interlaced) during the fade portion.
I've tried doing this with a brightness shift, and even ticking he "cache as bitmap".
I tried exporting as 32bit movie with alpha. That stops the corruption, but now there's a flicker juse before the fade that's not there in the SWF!
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Flash Professional CS5 by the way.
Many thanks!

Another option is to do a screen capture. Lots of choice in software.
Google "screen capture software" for more info.
Best wishes,

Exporting to AVI too large

I'm trying to convert a Flash file to .MOV, then take it into QuickTime Pro and export it as an .AVI file so it will play on a Windows PowerPoint file. The exported .MOV is under 2MB, but when I export the .AVI file it either hoses or grows to 280+MB. I'm not sure what compression option I need to use, but most of them seem to strip the quality a bunch. Are there any resources you can recommend that I can read up on about this? Once the file leaves Flash I'm pretty much clueless .. I need it to be clear and small if possible.

David's answer is on the mark but a bit more confusing than it has to be.
Flash files use "objects" or "elements" that are reused during playback. They need only be created once to be used over and over again. The format is also "vector" based which simply means that they also need only be created once and then scale (based on the video playback) to the size the author wishes to use.
So. A bush or a shrub can be used over and over again in the playback (changing size or shape) without adding to the total file size.
It is the entire reason for creating using the Flash format. One object, used dozens of times, doesn't make the file any larger in file size. These objects can also be used at different video ratios (for want of a better word) because they are "vector" based. They enlarge or diminish in size based on the authors control of the object. They can also have "actions" (the bounce of a ball, for example).
When you convert these vector formats to "video" you must convert each stage as a "frame". Each image (at 30 frames per second) adds to the total file size and is now "fixed" as a pixel (dot) in an image.
So. Your .swf export now becomes a very large file size and is "fixed" (no longer scales to the screen). Ugly and large.
It's not a fault of the export once you know why (and how) it happens.

Exporting as AVI in certain size

I'm trying to export a video that has 640 x 480 resolution as an AVI with 320 x 240 resolution, but I'm not sure how. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I don't see any "size" options here...
APOLOGIZE!!!
.. me wrong.. !!
indeed, when choosing "avi" as container, you do not have any resizing options.. choosing "Quicktime" as container, you have all options: codecs, framerates, AND sizes..
sorry, I never export as .avi....
probably, you have to do a two stop process:
* export as Quicktime, in your wanted resolution...
* open resulting file in QTpro (.. you need to purchase a licence..), choose "avi" as export option...
.. sorry, avi is very little supported on Mac ...
Plan B)
there's a free tool, called ffmpegX, which allows converting an iM's export as mp4-encoded avi or Xvid-encoded avi... and - for sure! - resizing.. ;))
you get ffmpegX here:

No options to export

I purchased QuickTime Pro so that I could export (or convert) Quicktime clips to .mpegs, so that my classroom PC, which does not have Quicktime, can read them in a PPT. All the directions say to "export" using the "drop-down list". But there is no drop-down list, only an options button, which allows choices for settings, filter, etc.
Sorry to be so stupid, but I am baffled by this. Can anyone help? Thank you.
Windows XP Pro

You have to use "Export" in the File menu. When you do that you should then see a window with a drop-down menu labeled "Export" that lets you choose various file types for the export. However, mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 cannot be exported with QT Pro. QT for Windows should include one of the Indeo codecs for export in avi files. There also is an Indeo 5 codec available for QT for WIndows. It should make avi video files that will work with PPT:

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

@Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

Why is "Export Video" greyed out? I need to export an AVI (PP2.0)

Yes, I'm still on PP 2.0. I've never seen this until today where Premiere won't allow me to export my AVI with video as Microsoft DV AVI. It will if I switch it to Microsoft AVI. (See screen print image.)
I've re-booted, I've tried importing the settings that I had previously saved for times like this. Still nothing. When I open ANY project, now, I have the same issue. Any ideas?
I remember with an old version of Premiere when something quarky like this happened we'd have to delete the prefs and then re-open the project for the prefs to reset. Is there something like that for this?

Problem solved. In the past, I have actually had Video mistakenly uncheck and rendered out AVI's that were audio only. (I only work with DV AVI's, although it's entirely possible a setting got switched to the non-DV.) So this time I simply panicked when I saw it grayed out and don't ever remember it being like that. Hunt, you are right that even though it was grayed out, it was still checked, so I did a test movie and the video IS there. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try this sooner. I simply panicked. Thanks guys!

FCP 5 export to .AVI for Windows client? Advice needed!

I have a Windows platform client that wants my Exported FCP 5 Sequence in .AVI format.
Obviously, I normally always use Export to Quicktime Movie in FCP, and I do know that their is not a direct choice in FCP to export/convert as an .AVI file. (I usually hand off the FCP file to another facility that does DVD Studio Pro authoring work, and haven't had a need to make different file formats).
This has made me to ponder of few bits of info, that I'm sure I could get great ansers to, here.
My normal "workaround" for making an .AVI for a Windows user is to Export as Quicktime Movie in FCP, like normal, and then open that exported file in Quicktime Pro, and use Export Movie to AVI in Quicktime Pro. Is this the best method? Secondly, I am a little unsure as to the best settings I should use in QT Pro to achieve this. For example:
I just did a routine NTSC 48k,16 bit stereo, 30 second ad in FCP, and my normal, Export to Quicktime Movie was about 260 meg in size for the finished, self-contained movie file.
I opened this in QT-Pro and ran Export to AVI. In the settings dialog, I chose "uncompressed" for video and 48k-16 bit stereo for audio. The resulting export was about 680 meg in size! Because of file size restrictions for the clients product, what settings change or choice should I be making in QT-Pro to get an "equivalent" of the 260 meg file the FCP is exporting? Should I not get an equal file size of the QT-Pro AVI versus the FCP export (both 260 meg?).
If the answer is compression, what is the best settings in QT-Pro? Cinepak? Intel Indeo?
Perhaps, I have always misunderstood what FCP Export to Movie is giving me, but I thought that was uncompressed video? If so, why do I get the 260 meg out of FCP, and then 680 meg from QT-Pro Export to AVI (uncompressed) for the same 30 second clip? Is it simply a data rate difference?
Lastly, I have actually had a Windows user take a FCP Export to Movie file, straight from me, and they say it opened fine in Windows Media Player as is for viewing. However, there is no (dot) file extension name on the end of the filename. They can simply click File/Open in Windows Media Player and choose the "unrecognized" file because of no extension, and play it just fine to at least view the clip.
So what exactly is the file type that FCP is creating? It's not a .MOV and not an AVI file. What would be the equivalent file type association (just for my curiosity).
Thanks for any help to the above as I value the more-experienced users here.
Wade

Hi Wade,
Sorry for letting your post unanswered for two days, we were all busy (I know, it is not an excuse).
Seriously, I think the reason you are not getting answers is you have asked too many questions in one post. Don't know about others, but I get slightly confused.
Let me tell you what I do with FCP material when I send it to our sound department where they work with Nuendo on PCs. I export sequence using QT Conversion. My settings are: Format - AVI, Compression type - DV-PAL, Compressor quality - Best. I do not bother much about the sound. I sent the resulting file over network to a Maxtor FireWire external drive connected to a colleague's PC and then take the drive down to the sound guys. If the AVI file is smaller than 2 GB I can burn it to a DVD and a PC can open it, if it is larger, PCs cannot open. Also, the sound guys ask me not to use Cinepac, they do not like it. Therefore, I use DV-PAL; I guess you may safely use DV-NTSC but it depends on who will open the AVI file. Ask your client what it wants.
I think my routine is a bit more streamlined than yours - I export straight from FCP and do not bother with QT. You are wrong in saying that there is no direct way in FCP to export AVI.
Hope this is a starter for more answers. Also, have you tried searching the forum? I am sure all the answers are already there.
