Playback to Video

After completing an edited video, I've tried playback to video several times, but with repeated failure. Always the audio abruptly quits about 4 minutes into the show. If I just play the show the audio and video both freeze about 20 minutes into the show. How can I avoid these problems?

welcome to the forum.
a bit more information would be VERY useful.

You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output. Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs. Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.

Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Michel (Bonjour)
Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
Once again, Thanks in advance

In a links only presentation, advancing through the slides is only achieved by clicking a hyperlink.
creating a hyperlink:
place a shape on the slide from the shapes tool or (Insert > Shape) to act as a clickable button,

No Playback on videos in the Project (PE9)

Hello
I need some help with a serious problem. I have been having some problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for a while. Whenever I go to playback a video in the project the video won't play, but the audio will. This goes for what is in the timeline and the actual videos (not in the timeline) when trying to replay them in the program. Also whenever I move the marker (the thing that represents where you are in a video) if the video changes it is extremley choppy. Please help. I am running a Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC with an Intel(P) Celeron(R) CPU 900 @ 2.20 GHz. I have 2.00 GB of Installed memory (RAM). I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. My system type is 64-bit. Please help.

1st, you need lots more memory... 2Gig is BARELY enough to load Win7 64bit... with nothing left over for programs
2nd, a notebook will usually have only one 5400rpm hard drive... you need a 2nd 7200rpm hard drive for all of your video files (see below)
3rd, depending on the type of file you are trying to edit, you may simply not be able to edit at all with a Celeron
4th, what is the type of video graphics adapter, and what is the driver version?

You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything

FCPX - instant playback of video clips

Have just downloaded trial FCPX in order to speed up the importing of HD clips onto my Macbook Air - works a treat!
However I now need to know how I can instantly playback the video clip full screen size and at the same time see the timer, as well as FF, PLAY, PAUSE, STOP and BACK controls so I can easily and quickly play certain parts.
Many thanks

Tom, the fact is I'm not sure.
What I am looking to do is simply play back video clips from my camcorder as soon as they are imported to the laptop - I have no need to edit them.
When I play the clips, my clients need to view them on a large screen or projector in the room we are working in. I attach the large screen to the laptop via an Apple miniport to VGA (sorry not RGB) adapter, then a VGA cable to the large screen.
(I plug in speakers into the laptop for sound if the large screen / projector does not have speakers...)
In an earlier reply you mentioned that the functionality I am looking for is not possible with one monitor, hence me describing in more detail about the use of a second screen / projector in the hope that might provide a solution.
Thanks again

Stop & playback a video

Hi,
I'm making a player that should be able to playback sequencies of video(that means start and end time of a sequence have to be set with setMediaTime() and setStopTime(). I call setStopTime on a started player. Is that ok?). Sometimes the player stops, sometimes it doesn't. I saw that it was a bug, but it should be fixed in JMF 2.1.1 that I use?!
The other problem that I have is the following:
(I use the default control panel)
After I had stopped a playing video(with a click on the stop button) I clicked on the play button to playback the video further. But after this action the movie had been played faster.
I don't understand why it happens.
I'll appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks.
Di

We encountered increased speed too.
We filed this bug in the BugParade, but Sun
cannot reproduce the error.
What is your setup?
Ours is
1. Install JMF 2.1.1a on a Windows 2000 PC with DirectX 7
2. run JMStudio: MPEG-1 video works fine
3. Install DirectX 8
4. run JMS again: failure.

I get "General Error" when trying to playback unrendered video, and when trying to export to my desktop and I'm not sure why.

I import video footage into Final Cut Pro 7, added some effects like motion blur and colour correction, and cannot playback the video whilst it is not rendered. I click the play button but it just says "general error". This also happens when trying to export to my desktop "general error" once again. Does anyone know what is going on?
My RT settings are:
Safe RT or Unlimited RT (I get the error on either setting)
Framerate & video quality - Dynamic
27" iMac i7 @ 3.4GHz
4GB Ram
2GB Radeon 6970m

Hmmmm it seems to be just that file. The rest of my files are fine. I tweaked some settings and tried other files and it worked, so maybe it was just me, I am very new to Final Cut after all. Turns out I'm OK now! Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the reply.
Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

AfterEffects won't playback rendered video at full speed.

Hi,
If I hit play on a video and let it render (let the timeline turn green) when it finishes rendering it will max out at about 20fps, not reaching full 24p. Im wondering if this is a problem in the program or with my computer or possibly a setting I need to change. I doubt it is my system because it seems that my system is powerful enough to play back pro res 422 video without any effects on it at 24p.
System Specs:
MacPro Mid 2012
2x 2.4GHz 6-Core Xeon
12GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (with latest web drivers, and compatible cuda drivers)
Yosemite and latest AE version.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

The thing that still baffles me is that even with just plain ProRes video (no effects or adjustments made) I get extremely slow render speeds for playback, ram preview, and output renders.
That's because AE is not video editing software and does not work at all like video editing software.
INCOMING LONG EXPLANATION (borrowed from Rick Gerard):
Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Avid are all NLE's (Non Linear Editors) and they are specifically designed to playback a video stream. With any of them, if you stack enough layers or effects on the video they will have to render a new video stream based on pixel based calculations for every pixel in the stack. This rendering, especially for HD sources or for complex plug-ins, will take quite a bit of time.
After Effects, Flame, Fusion, Shake -- are all pixel based image processing applications that act very much like Photoshop. They calculate the values of every pixel in every frame, come up with a new pixel, and then play those pixels back as a video stream. More importantly, AE and all the other pixel based compositing apps, always work internally with completely uncompressed pixel data. NLE's rely on codecs and in some cases, hardware, to playback the video. It's an entirely different way of working with moving images.

Can't get sound from playback of video from curve 8500 series

I video taped my daughter singing. I took it off my phone and placed it on my computer so I could post it online. I don't get any sound when I play it back on my computer using Windows Media Player. It keeps telling me the Network is too busy to playback in original quality, The picture is great but there's no sound. I'll try using Quick Time player but how do I get the sound back. Playback on my phone is perfect, sound and all.

PITT66,
Try doing a cleansweep and reinstall of the sound card. Follow these instructions to cleansweep. After you have finish reinstalling, try the EAX console again

Playback of video and music slow after unit has been in standby

I recently purchased a 64GB playbook and loaded a few movies in AVI and MP4 format as well as afew albums in MP3 format, When playing the files all works fine until the device is put into standby and then restarted, the video and music playback is running at around a quarter of the speed ond is choppy, even the HD demo plays back at the reduced rate, when the device is switched off and restarted then everything is back to normal until the unit goes into standby again, I have a 16GB device abd this one plays the same files with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be
Thanks

any apps running next to the video player ?
go to the options of the playbook, then About, then Hardware in the dropdown menu. How much "Free memory" do you have while the video is lagging?

Chooppy playback of video using iTunes 7.0.2

I have finally gotten things, two months on, to where I can view iTunes m4V files (TV shows that i downloaded) in a rather normal way, using iTunes, on small screen only,
however,
the skipping persists when in iTunes I click on to FULL SCREEN mode.
This skipping of audio and video does not occur with other file formats in players such as WIMP 11, and InterVideo DVD.
Followed all instruction to set everything correctly.
Please help.
Please advise.

I built a new computer over this weekend (well, I purchased a Dell XPS 410 and did some upgrades to it) and am having teh same issue rj is describing above with stuttering playback. However all my video playback in iTunes is choppy - even videos that I have converted from other formats.
I have to lean toward this being an iTunes problem as I just checked some Quicktime HD and Windows Media HD trailers at 1080p and they play just fine (spectacularly, actually, as compared to my old PC). I tested the Windows Media HD file from both my RAID arrays and it plays perfectly from both (I only have QT, not QT Pro, so I can't download the trailers from Apple to try them on both arrays unfortunately).
I have to head in to the office now but I will do some more troubleshooting this evening.
I did NOT have the latest version of iTunes on my old PC (was running 7.0.1) but I hadn't watched any movies probably since upgrading to 7.0 (at which point what I was watching - Heroes - was just fine in full screen mode).
System Specs:
Dell XPS 410
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB DDR-667
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all available updates
2x WD Raptor 74GB in RAID0 (benched at 109MB/s ave transfer, 211MB/s burst)
2x WD Caviar SE16 320GB in RAID0 (benched at 113MB/s ave transfer, 310MB/s burst)
DVD-DL (SATA)
CD-RW/DVD (SATA)
ATI Radeon X1950Pro with modified Catalyst 6.9 drivers (only thing that works right now, was thinking this was the problem but since all other video works fine I'm sure it isn't now)
Dell XPS 410 Modified Windows XP Pro

Best setup for playback of video in Keynote?

I use keynote on a daily basis and find inserting video elements can cause sputtery playback and even flash frames?!! which can be a bit of a problem on a 14meter screen!!
What is the ideal set-up for playing back video in keynote? I see that the video plays fine in quicktime but as soon as you inbed in keynote you get splutters and the odd flash frame.
Is there a recommended codec - max size/dimensions - prefured system configuration - hardware recomendations... I see I'm not the only one to have these problems...
Keynote is a great advancement over powerpoint and should be developed further, even a “designer” edition with more complex design/motion features for us that would like to push the bound’s…. THINK AFTER EFFECTS...
Thanks,

I had this problem and it drove me batty. Went to Apple store and 'stumped the stars' with the issue. We tried changing compression to make video smaller, etc to no avail. Sometime video would even lock up.
I found the solution on this discussion board. Can't recall who to thank. I put the Keynote on an external drive to my MacBookPro. Now it worked much better. Occasionally I will get a short milli-second flash, but no sputtering or no locking up. So I just carry a 80GB external drive with me with my lecture on it an it works great. If you figure out how to get rid of the random flash let me know, on your 14 meter screen it will look like a nuclear test!
I think what happens when you drive an external projector, in addition to showing the instructors version on your MBP, it is simply too much for either RAM or hard drive to deal with fast enough. So when you put the presentation on an external drive it takes that load off your internal drive. Maybe that is not what really happens but sort of sounds logical. Let me know if it works for you, and let me know if you get (and later solve) the random flash
