Only AAC-LC in export to MP4

In QT 7.6.4 Pro, when I export a WMA to MP4, the only audio format option I have is AAC-LC (Music). The options for CELP, AAC-LV (VPR), and pass through are dimmed. My WMAs are voice and I'd like to try CELP because unless I take a major hit on data and sample rates, WMA files tend to expand to much larger sizes.
I don't see a CELP codec for download on the Web. Anyone know of a solution? Also, if CELP is a proprietary codec not offered by Apple, then how and why does QuickTime present it in the list?

Pass-through only works for supported audio formats. CELP isn't a supported format for MP4.

It's on the list for playback. It's not on the list for export.

Export multichannel mp4/h.264 with Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Dear community,
we currently test the Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial (German) on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
However, we are not succentful in exporting a multichannel mp4/H.264 clip.
We haven't found an answer on our issue so far, so I hope that this question was not answered several times before in this forum.
If we chosse the H.264 exporter, we cannot select a multichannel audio export (only mono, stereo, 5.1).
In contrary, if we select the Quicktime exporter, we are able to export our sequence with a 4 channel audio master with 4 mono tracks, but we can only export it with a DVCPro Codec in a mov container.
If we try to select a HD H.264 preset we get an error alert stating that the preset contains a not compatible video codec.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks for every suggestion.
Thanks in advance
André

Thanks for your thoughts, Richard.
Your are right, we currentky use the Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version.
We managed it to solve at least the error message. It was caused because Quicktime was not installed together with the Adobe Premiere Pro / AME setup on our computer.
After we installed Quicktime 7 manually, we can select a Quicktime/H.264 preset without any problems within the exporter settings.
However, the Quicktime/H.264 export dialog seems to only allow a mono or stereo audio export. No multichannel-audio export.
This possibility is only displayed in Richards case, if we select the Quicktime exporter and an Uncompressed Video or DV preset.
Our question to the Adobe developer guys is the reason behind this limition? Other video authoring prograns can export a mp4 with H.264 Codec with multichannel AAC without any problems.
How can we do this with Adobe Premiere Pro (not necessarily via Quicktime)?

Export to mp4 audio out of sync

I have a .mov that I'm trying to export as mp4 for web streaming. Actually this is the 2nd I've done and the first went OK. But the 2nd one loses it's audio sync with the video. audio is slow and gets off by maybe 2minutes by the end of the 45 minutes. The .mov is fine but the sync problem is happening when I export to mp4
Here is what I've done:
I record a webinar w/screenrecord2 and first I tried quicktime pro export (Boy it took a long time!!) to mp4 w/default (H.264, 640x480) except slower frame rate and set for webstreaming. The audio sync was off.
I read something about hinting helping audio sync problems so I then tried export to a hinted .mov and then to mp4 and still not good audio sync.
Next I tried export the hinted .mov via Streamclip and it went much faster and better video quality than the export via quicktime pro but still the audio loses sync.
The .mov is about 2.5gig and 45 minutes long exported mp4's about 80meg
Any help is much appreciated!
Is there a way in quicktime pro that I can speed up the audio of the mp4 and get it back into sync??

Hi Robert, i just want to check you are actually going to be posting your material to a real streaming sever i.e quicktime streaming server, darwin server, helix server.
If not then you won't actually be streaming the file, i've been doing a lot of work on streaming servers recently and the first thing i found was that the term streaming is often misused. If you are only posting your file on to a web server for people to view then quicktime has something called quickstart which will allow you to watch the video as it downloads like youtube, this isn't streaming.
With regards to extensions i would be much more inclined to use .mov over .mp4, it will make life easier for your viewers because you can guarantee at some point real player will try and hijack the .mp4 extension for some of your viewers.
Cheers
PS: Can you post hwre the file originates from, it's possible the problem stems from further up the chain but only comes to light when the file is exported. I find editing in quicktime and then exporting can often be problematic.

Export to mp4 720p de-interlaced from 1080i AVCHD

How do I export to mp4 720p de-interlaced from 1080i AVCHD footage from a Sony HDR-SR12? The raw source at 1080i looks fine from iMovie 09' but the exported through Quicktime 720p video is baldy jittered. However, the only previous export I have of the same movie is an iMovie 08' version and sadly not what youtube considers HD source material at 960x540 but it was clear of the jaggies.
The previous exports were made with iMovie '08s medium and large to m4v. The export I made of the same edit was to Quicktime via Movie to MPEG-4, 1280x720 5000kbps/sec, framerate current, Key auto, preserve aspect ratio using crop and H.264 options Main, multi-pass.
You can see the results here. http://gallery.mac.com/mpitogo#100281&bgcolor=black&view=grid download it for best results.
iMovie-edit.png is the edited raw source played back in iMovie
iMovie-export.png is the edited and exported 720p movie bad jaggies on motion.
This looks to be a motion related problem the jaggies are not there for slow moving action. Anyone have ideas to exporting 720p without this jitter?
Thank you in advance!

This has to do with how iMovie 09' handles interlaced footage. The short answer is that it doesn't handle it well. Either de-interlace prior to editing in iMovie or use the 960x540 30p import setting. I know this is the short answer, but it has been quite thoroughly discussed in this forum, so a simple search will provide the long version.
For de-interlacing tools google "JES Deinterlacer". That will get you started.

I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and QuickTime
will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

Loading only aac tracks to ipod

I have ongoing issues with many mp3 encoded files being "skipped" when I try to play them back on my ipod. I have discovered that if the offending tracks are converted to aac tracks within itunes, that they will play fine on the ipod. To save some effort, I had itunes convert the entire music library to aac encoding. Now in the itunes application library, I have duplicate songs, one mp3 copy and one aac copy. My question is, now if I load the clean (delete all the content presently on it) ipod will all the songs (aac and mp3 copies) be loaded onto the ipod (duplicates of all songs) or will itunes just load the aac/MPEG4 songs in the itunes library folder (user>my music>itunes>itunes music). I need a way to insure only the aac encoded material is loaded onto the ipod.
Thanks

iTunes will not distinguish between AAC and MP3 tracks when syncing to an iPod, since the iPod can play both. If you want to sync only AAC tracks, you'll either have to create playlists with only your AAC content and sync those, or remove the MP3 versions from iTunes (the easiest way to do the latter is to show the Kind column and sort that that; that will collect all your MP3 tracks so you can easily select them all and delete them).
BTW, for future issues with MP3 tracks not playing correctly, the headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes and the iPod are very picky about headers. Mp3 Validator Mac version may help.

How to export as mp4 and achieve effect of "fast start" in mov export

When exporting as a .mov one can check the "fast start" prepare for internet streaming option. This option allows the end user to start watching your video without waiting for the entire file to buffer/download. That's great.
However, when export as a .mp4 file, the same option does not exist.
Does anyone know how to achieve this "fast start" effect if exporting as an mp4?
I have an existing work around...just rename the .mov to .mp4.
I would like an .mp4 file because I use ezs3 to host my videos and the mp4 player options are far superior to the mov player options.
Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same problem. I want to export an .mp4 that can start playing as soon as it starts downloading from a web site. Until I can find a solution, I'm using .m4v files, but they're huge.
Does anyone have a solution?

Error in FCE 4 while exporting an mp4 HD Movie

Hallo,
I try to export an mp4 movie, by using the quicktime conversation mode. I selected mp4 with 20,000 kBit/s. The tests of a short 5 minutes clip were successfull. Exporting the whole movie of 81 minutes was interrupted by FCE 4 after many hours with the massage 'A generell error'. I used an external USB harddisc (70 GB of free space). I also tried to export to the internal harddisc (90 BG of free space): no results.
The error also in Mac OS X 10.5.3 has happened.
What can I do?

That's not right. If i write a Quicktime movie of my 81 minutes long HD-movie, I see the .mov file growing. After 8 hours I got a correct .mov file of 45.2 GB.
But if I am using the Quicktime conversation with .mp4 encoding, the export file doesn't grow and after 6 hours, the file still is 0 KB large. Then FCE interrupts the exporting process and the file disappears. Shorter movies of some minutes were not interrupted!!! But why?
Unfortunately the using of Streamclip 1.9.1 to convert a .mov to a .mp4 file was not successfully too. After 14 hours of converting the file, I just got 51% of the mp4 movie. This seemed to by wrong.

M4V with only aac 5.1 , work in dolby with apple tv 3 and yamaha sinto?

rephrase: CAN I DEMUX ONLY AAC TO AC3?
I did not want to ask how to get around protections or encourage illegal markets, I apologize if I gave that impression.

Maintaining quality when exporting to MP4

I'm trying to export my video to MP4, but everything I've tried ends with a drastic loss of quality. Exporting to DV or Sorenson 3 look fine. But exporting to MP4 or H.264 are completely unusable. I've adjusted for higher data rates, more key frames and frame rates...I've selected best quality...I've set it for 640x480 and 320x240...I've tried Compression as well as Conversion and ended with the same results each time. I've also tried to export from Quicktime 7.0 instead of through FCPHD.
I've exported to MP4 with great results before and my software hasn't changed since the last time I exported a project.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
Emac 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you....
I've tried a couple of different ways:
A.
Select File -> Export -> Quicktime Conversion.
In the Save window, change the format to MPeg-4 and select Options.
In Export Settings, I've changed the File Format to MP4, Video Format to Mpeg-4 Improved and Image Size to 640 x 480 VGA. I've tried different figures for the Data Rate (256, 512, 768) and Frame Rate (29.97, 15, 10).
Last step was to select Save.
B.
In the Save window, leave the format as QuickTime Movie and select Options.
In the Conversion Settings window, I selected MPeg-4 Video (A few other times I tried this using H.264).
I left the Frame Rate at Current but have also tried 29.97.
Key Frames I left at Every 24 frames.
I increased Quality to Best and Data Rate I've tried changing it to Automatic but have also left it on Restrict to 6400 kbits/sec.
The Optimized selection has been always set as Download.
After Selecting Okay, I've tried setting the size as Current, 640x480 and 320x240.
I've always deselected Prepare for Internet Streaming.
After that, I've selected okay and then Save.
Each time the quality of the video has been very bad. Since the source video comes from a DVD and it looks good when I export to DV or Sorenson 3, there has to be something I'm missing.

Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films. I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software. It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here. The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
The problem is likely this...
1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here. It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
I hope this helps.

Is the problem limited to a specific file that you're exporting?

HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop. Only 1:08 seconds exports. I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08. Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try. The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

Which Version of Premiere Elements Supports Export to MP4 H264?

Which version of Premiere Elements started to support video export to MP4 using the H.264 codec for compression?

That's what I wanted to know thanks. It's a really strange way to support that since you are forced to make an indirect association between a particular viewing device and a resolution and codec.
Is there any version of Premiere Elements that will let me create a custom export profile that I can name with important attributes like resolution and codec name?

How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

Thanks Russ.
I wasn't thinking about the Apple Devices so much as the Master File set to Audio & Video which produces a .mov file.
I have normally used the Master File to export my videos but will experiment in future with "Computer".
I've taken a closer look with VideoSpec and notice that the data rate of the .mov file is about 70% of the .mp4 and the file size is correspondingly smaller.
The export/render time of the .mov is also somewhat quicker.

Only AAC-LC in export to MP4
