PP won't prerender or export via AME.

System specs:
AMD Quad Core 965 @3.8ghz
DDR3 1400MHZ 4gb
2tb of space
Win 7 Pro 64bit
ATI Radeon 4870 1gb
The problem is, which just started happening recently. If I press "enter" to prerender my clips, it works then at about 50%, it just freezes. I don't really need to prerender my clips as my computer can play the clips smoothly. The clips are from a Canon 7D at 720p 60fps and from a SD940 at 30fps. Converted using Mpegstreamclip to Avid DNxHD clips to make it easier for the NLE to edit.
If I try to export my sequence, the same problem occurs no matter which format I use... but use AME, it will get to about 75% and then freeze when an "Unknown error"
It was working fine.. the only thing that I can think of that has changed is, I added some Magic Bullet looks effects to all the clips inside PP.
I guess I could try to remove all the effects and see if that works? If anyone has any insight to why prerender would just freeze and why AME would just freeze as well would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

When a program, or system hangs, or crashes, there is often a breadcrumb trail left behind. This ARTICLE will give you tips on finding clues as to what is happening when the hang/crash occurs, amongst those breadcrumbs.
Also, I am not sure what role your workflow is having on the problems. This ARTICLE has a bunch of links on Canon 5/7D MK II files. Maybe there is an easier way to get to editing.
Also, it seems that MB Looks had a recent update. Do not recall if that was for CS4.2, or for Win7. Might be worth a look on the MB site.
Good luck,

Export via Motion or Compressor?

I have a 2-minute motion graphics video that I put together in Motion 3. I want to export it for the web (YouTube, etc.) and so I'm using H.264. Assuming I'm not getting into Compressor's fancy batching / clustering features, are there any advantages to exporting via Compressor as opposed to direct from Motion?
Thanks,
Scott

You haven't said if the original video you imported into Motion is MP4 or H.264 or some other highly compressed media. It won't matter what you export if those "damaged" frames are in the original (and mp4/h.264/etc are prone to bad frames at the very beginning and very end depending on how they were prep'd for delivery).
You should (I'd say always, except I'd be a hypocrite) transcode original media into ProRes (any flavor) before importing into Motion. Check frame by frame if you have to to see if there's any damaged frames (usually there won't be.) I'd highly recommend using Quicktime 7 Pro (it's still available from apple's online store at apple.com) to transcode your video. Others might recommend MPEGStreamclip (but I just can't); or if you have it: Compressor.
If you have Final Cut Pro X, you'd be better off editing video in that app. You should be designing your Motion "add-ons" as effects, titles, transitions or generators for use in FCPX and leaving the video completely out of Motion. FCPX also takes care of transcoding to prores for you (opt to Transcode Optimized Media when importing.)
PS - you'll get better performance out of Motion if you use ProRes video. (Same goes for AIFF/WAV audio and NOT mp3.)
Hope this helps... otherwise I don't know what the problem would be.

Exporting via Compressor - submit - failed

When I use Export via Compressor - and I use QT Pro Res - and destination is Movies Folder, then submit - then in the History window it has returned "Failed" 3 times now. The status bar shows, but never any indication that it even starts to work its magic or anything - just after a few seconds, maybe a minute, the word Failed appears. Argh. The motn project is 5 minutes long full of stills and a little video with audio. Help - what am I doing wrong?
In looking thru this forum, I thot the best export would be QT ProRes - is that causing the failure?
I previously exported via QT(not compressor) and the resulting file is 10gb which doesn't run smoothly but jerks and hiccups like a pre-rendered file. And 10gb wont fit onto DVD which is where this project will go - as a gift.
help

I surely do not take it personal. I have learned that you folks in this group are the best resource I have. I know I am in way over my head. I truly do not know about codecs.
I have taken Motion directly in to FCP - but I didn't think it would work this time. I should have tried.
Someone came along at work and told me to use Visual Hub and use setting for mp4, and also try using the DV - ready for FCP - I did both. I really never think of it as wasted effort if I can learn by what I doing, and that is occurring as you are all explaining to me what I should be doing.
Now as for workflow - I think I did the right thing by starting with Motion, then with the big file sizes went to Visual Hub - but probably could have just gone to opening the Motion files in FCP - then rendering out for DVSP.
System settings are a boggle to me - so I just use NTSC - DV 720x480 and hope that works - so far the results in my projects are good.
Again, Thank you for taking time to explain - I appreciate all comments.

How can I export via QuickTime in iMovie '13 (10.0)?

Prior versions of iMovie had an export via QuickTime option, which allowed me to select the file format, encoding settings, etc. After upgrading to the new iMovie, that appears to have gone away. The Share -> File option does not allow me that level of control over the output file. Has that functionality been removed from iMovie?

I'm also having trouble with this. The new version of iMovie lost a lot of its features and is clearly focused toward the social media side of things. After importing using SD cameras that import video in a *square* PiP format, I am finding it impossible to update any of my settings to export the video in any other format that wouldn't cut out the picture. Basically, the only settings I've found in the share option of the iMovie 10.0 cu off the tops and bottoms of all my recording. Previously, I used QuickTime settings to pick what format and quality I wanted to export in. Does anyone have any insight about how to export using, say, a 640 x 480 format or in being able to adjust to any format other than the standard ones giving.
Is there any other video software I can be using to import and export with that gives me more functionality?

Final Cut Pro X won't let me export because I worked from an SD card

Hello,
I made the stupid mistake of editing my project from an SD card and now FCPX won't let me export it. I have since exported the original files onto my hard drive and I attempted to relink the files in the project folder but no luck. The option to relink files opens a dialogue box but the computer can't seem to find the files and the option to manually locate the files is greyed out. This is a time sensitive issue and if I can't solve the problem I will have to stay up all night to complete the project again. The video files are AVCHD, does this have something to do with it? I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea what to do. Help??

TTry the reimport from camera function to import from the card.

Video/Movie won't play when exported as a PDF.

Hello,
I am creating an interactive PDF using CS5 to display video work. Unfortunately, the video won't play when exported as an interactive PDF, I am just left with blank space. I find this very odd as it plays in preview and also when exported as a SWF but that file type is unsuitable for the project.
Initially when I exported it I got this message: "One or more of the interactive elements are clipped in ways the pdf files can't reproduce...." Obviously, I have ensured the file is resized correctly and also tried .mov, .mp4 and also .flv file types with no success. I have also checked the simple things like ensuring all the right boxes are ticked when I export.
This is not the first time I have embedded video but it is the first time without success despite following the same pattern. Any ideas as to why this would be and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Laura

Use Flv or f4v format, after you have placed video into your layout, make sure that you don´t scale or crop video frame at all.
(Whren you File > Place a video, you will have a loaded cursor with video icon. Click the empty spot on page with loaded cursor, don´t draw a rectangle or click on the top of some exisiting frame)
It´s important that you have your video in 100% encoded size in your layout. If you need to scale or crop it, load that video into Adobe Media Encoder and do it there, and re-encode the video to the correct size and shape aftrwards.
Adobe Media Encoder ships with InDesign.

Twice the length of a cinema epic?
How are you expecting to distribute it?
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pima ip100

Why won't dropbox documents print via bluetooth to a pixma ip100 from a Mac Pro. The ip100 prints gibberish continuously until it is unplugged. There is no other way to stop the printing.

Pages can save documents to PDF format, but does not open them natively. Use iBooks or one of the many free apps available for that purpose on the App Store.

PDF Export via DI API

Hi All,
I know this topic has been discussed previously, but I just wanted to clarify whether anything's been enhanced in version 2007. I know in 2007 you can export (via the GUI) to PDF, but is there an interface to this via the SDK DI API? I want to export the invoice layout of a specific invoice to a PDF file.
I would sooooo like for the SDK to be able to do this as I am currently using Crystal Reports to accomplish this task, which makes my add-on unneccesarily expensive as they also have to purchase Crystal.
Thanks in advance,
Adele

Hi Adele,
I'm afraid that nothing I've seen in the 2007A SDK makes me think that this is directly possible through the DI API. I had heard that there will be an API available for the ALD, allowing you to create and generate reports via an addon. ALD has built-in PDF export options. There will be a fee for this API (the ALD addon itself is free for 2007A) but no cost indication was given. I'm hoping for more information on this as (depending on cost) this might be the neatest solution.
If you are only interested in the PDF format then there are APIs out there capable of turning, for example, an XML document in to a PDF printout. Most aren't free though...
Kind Regards,
Owen

IMovie won't let me export in HD

I imported an MP4 into iMovie, set the project preference to 16:9 and it still won't let me export the movie in anything but the "tiny and mobile" options. The "medium, large and HD" options are greyed out.
What could be the problem? thanks

After hours of searching through forums I have found the solution to our problem.
iPhone 4s video is automatically shot in HD. There is no way to turn this off.
In iMovie Version 9.0.4 iLife '11 you can set your project properties (File>Project Properties) to either either 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 standard.
Now HD is specifically widescreen and you can not create HD video in a 4:3 screen ratio. This is what my project was set to after spending over 16 hours working.
Once I change the ratio I was able to share and export my project in 720P and 1080P HD
You will have to tweak your project a little as when I went from 4:3 to 16:9 it cropped some of my video weird.
I hope this helped you as I am thoroughly relieved to have figured this out and slightly proud that I did it on my own.

Premiere CC 2014 crashes when exporting via the Queue

Having issues exporting from Premiere CC 2014 via the "Queue".
My system:
Dell Precision T5600 Workstation
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Xeon E5-2680 @ 2.7 GHz processor
Nvidia Quadro 4000 graphics card, driver ver 347.25
32 GB RAM
Creative Cloud 2014
Premiere Pro CC (2014) Up to date
Media Encoder CC (2014) Up to date
Exporting via the Queue has work just fine in the past. Had this issue awhile back and cleared some cashed files which fixed the problem but don't remember what I did. I have uninstalled and re-installed Premiere. This took care of the problem for awhile, but now the same issue has cropped up again.
Symptoms: When exporting a sequence from Premiere, clicking "Queue" launches Media Encoder but it doesn't completely hand off the sequence to Media Encoder. Premiere locks up, leaving a small blank window open named "Export Media (Not Responding)". It never completes the hand over to the Media Encoder queue. If I reverse the process by launching Media Encoder and import the same Premiere timeline directly into the Media Encoder queue, it loads and renders just fine. If I do an "Export" from Premiere, it works just fine. This seems to indicate something is going on with the exchange between Premiere and Media Encoder. I have this issues on multiple projects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Is it possible via AME?

Hi I need to make changes in the approver levels, for 3 levels in the Class Enrollment process SSHR.
I guess that should be possible via AME.
Now my doubt is this.
On the Final Level of Approval in the 3rd level after the approval is done, i would need to send a FYI Notification to 2 more guys. This would be a post approval thing.
Would that be possible via AME or do i need to modify the WF?

Pl see if MOS Doc 316871.1 (Does SSHR Support AME FYI Notifications ?) can help

Won't connect to ipad via Bluetooth

why won't my iPhone connect to my iPad via Bluetoot?

Well, I should have asked Pagancelt not sleeky as he said above he says he DID it.

Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth
Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
*Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

Premiere Elements 9 Won't Let Me Export Video. What's Wrong?

So I have been trying to edit a recent Let's Play video for my Youtube channel, but there is a huge problem. The program won't let me export my video. I tried to export it as a .mpg; but it will never finish rendering. I've tried other formats and the same thing happens. I tried making a new project file and the same thing happened. It will usually get to 1% or 47% and then the estimated time will start increasing and the video won't save any further. I've edited videos with these type of files before (.M2TS, .MP4, .WAV, & .PNG) and it has rendered just fine. Please help me because I have people who are asking for this video. My computer runs Windows 7 Professional and has 2GB of RAM.

You've got a couple of issues to be concerned with, Cwood.
First -- are you really running a Windows 7 Professional computer with 2 gig of RAM! If so, it's surprising you can even run Premiere Elements. I highly recommend you upgrade to 4 gigs of RAM at the minimum -- and, if your OS is Windows 7 64-bit, possibly 6 or 8 gigs. RAM is your computer's lungs. Without adequate RAM, your computer can barely breathe!
Also, make sure that you have adequate free space on your hard drive (I'd recommend at least 100 gigs) and that you have run Disk Cleanup and the Defragmenter so that Premiere Elements has adequate free space to use for temp and render files.
Second, editing video from recording software like Let's Play can have a number of inherent problems. What format is Let's Play recording your video as? If you open the video file in Media Info or G Spot, what frame rate, resolution and codec is displayed?
Finally, I would very much recommend AGAINST using an MPEG output for your YouTube output. MPEGs, like DV-AVIs, are interlaced videos, and they are really not going to look good at all when you post them online?
Have you tried using Premiere Elements 9's Share/Online/YouTube to output your video?
