Problem exporting for TV viewing

I am finding FCPX most frustrating and  have the following problems with exporting and saving to a USB HDD then viewing on a HD pal TV.   If there are any Ken Burns effects in the project then the file won't play on the TV. Without the ken burns it plays.  I had an MP3 audio track which also caused the TV to reject it as Invalid File.  I change the audio for a wave file and the file played on the TV but suffered lots of drop outs.  The exported file plays normally on my MacBook with QuickTime player.
The settings are 1080x1900 50p. Computer  H264 audio AAC. I tried also audio and video prores 422 and the audio was ok  on the TV but there was no video.
The project is mainly still pictures with some MTS video clips.
The same project created and exported from iMovie works perfectly.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Luis for your help. I don't think that the frame rate is the problem as the video plays correctly on the TV without Ken Burns effects in the timeline.
I just did a trial project with about 30 images at 8secs each with 3 sec transitions and a wave file . The video played fine but the audio suffered dropouts. I read on another post that someone fixed this by deleting the transitions so decided to give it a try. So I end up with 30 images  with a wave file attached no transitions. Exported and the setting was Computer 1080 x 1900 50p H.264 high quality and audio shown as AAC.IThere doesn't appear to be anyway to modify these settings without compressor.
Result - the file would not play oon the TV just an invalid file message. The only difference in this file and the one that worked ok was the absence of transitions.
It seems a bit strange. As I mentioned previously the same project recreated in iMovie works perfectly but I notice that that one shows the audio as pcm.

  • Export for QT viewing.

    I recently completed a 2-minute movie that I wanted to share over the internet. I exported using QuickTime conversion, using the standard (default) settings. The result was a 31MB file which looks fine when viewed with the QT viewer. However, I thought that a movie exported as a self-contained QT movie in DV encoding would produce a higher-quality image, so I did that, getting a 421MB file (much too large for internet sharing), which I intended to record as data on a DVD-R to send to those who want the best quality. The problem is:
    The smaller file, highly-compressed movie looks much better than the large file when played on the QT viewer! This is not what I expected. I checked the clip properties with the video files loaded into QT and verified that the MPEG file (H.264) looks better than the DV file.
    What's wrong here?

    Thanks Tom,
    I did find the setting for high quality in QT and it made a huge difference. However, I don't see a lot of difference between the DV and the MPEG versions, but this could be because the image is not complex (it's a video of the recent eclipse in Turkey) and compresses well with both codecs.

  • Problem Exporting for Web files created in FCE using Quicktime

    I have been using FCE 4.01 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
    I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec.  This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
    So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
    The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file.  GRRRR!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Steve

    Why not bring the exported AIC file  back into MPEG Streamclip instead of QTX? You'll have a lot more control.
    Compress the file to H.264 and restrict the data rate according to the resolution you're working with and to something consistent with the guidelines of the Web Service (say, You Tube) you're uploading to, (For example, something like 6 Mb per second would be about right for a 720P file.)
    Or use Quicktime Conversion from FCE.
    Good luck.

  • How to export for general viewing

    I am very new to keynote. I made a basic 30 sec commercial/promo. I would like to send to all the people within my work place. The problem is that 90% of the machines are Windows/P.C.'s
    How can I export so that
    - they can open the file and view it
    - it is a reasonable size to email
    Help?
    I have a couple of cool effects from keynote that I would like to keep. The effects are nice if I didn't want them I would have used powerpoint.
    Any thoughts.

    you can export the keynote to power point. be careful, in the past i have realized that some formatting is off. just give it a test trial before sending it to everyone.

  • Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

    I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
    I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

    Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
    Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
    Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
    Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.

  • Export for computer viewing.  H264?

    I exported my 33 minute FCE film as Export>QuickTime Movie and got a beautiful end result and a file size of 13.47 GB, all as I expected. I will use iDVD to make a DVD of the film from this QuickTime movie.
    I would like to export another version of the movie to keep on my internal hard drive purely for viewing on the computer (no additional editing or burning to DVD). Although I would like to have decent quality for this version, my main concern is to end up with a relatively small file size. It doesn't have to be tiny, but certainly smaller than 13.47 GB.
    I intend to use Export>QuickTime Conversion, but have some questions about how to accomplish what I want. First, though…..
    My video is:
    Frame size: 1280x720
    Vid rate: 29.97fps
    Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec
    My audio is:
    Aud Rate: 48.0 KHz
    Aud Format: 16-bit integer
    Data rate: 187.5 K/sec
    My sequence settings match my video and audio.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    2. The default video settings for h264 are:
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 556x313 (Current)
    Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    (The default audio settings match my audio settings in FCE so I assume they're fine.)
    3. Since I don't intend to put the movie on the Internet, should I uncheck "Prepare for Internet Streaming"?
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    Yes - right now H.264 is pretty much the go-to codec for universal video playback. It's a highly compressed codec (meaning that it generally requires a more powerful processor for playback) but gives you great quality at relatively small file sizes.
    2. ... Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    The dimensions will be whatever the size of your Quicktime window. So if you've reduced your QT playback window, you'll see those values are smaller than expected. You can change this to full-frame if you want to keep your true frame size.
    Yes, you can turn off Internet Streaming.
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Yes, and here's why. When you originally exported from FCE, the system wasn't doing any transcoding. It was using the same codec and frame size as the raw video you're working with. That's why the file size is so large. When you export to a more compressed codec, like H.264, there's a lot of processing to be done. The speed of your system will greatly affect the time that this takes. Three hours for a half hour piece is not unheard of. Perhaps you can run it overnight?

  • Problems Exporting for Podcast Use

    I've been doing some podcasting using iMovie HD and iWeb. some of them have been going fine. however, i've had a few where the video freezes (after export) but the audio keeps going. no matter how many times i export it or try different formats, they always freeze in the exact same place. can somebody help explain this to me and how i can fix it?

    I have the same problem. The podcast created from iMovie freezes like 20 seconds into the run and the audio keeps going.

  • Problem exporting for iDVD

    I have a completed movie (using iMovie 2.1.1 and Mac OS 9.2.2) that won't export. I've tried exporting to both iDVD and Quicktime.
    The process begins normally but about 8 minutes into the predicted 40 minute duration, the "exporting" message changes back to the video clip. The output MOV file vanishes.
    The output disk has PLENTY of space remaining. The clip that is being processed at the failure point plays just fine in iMovie. But I've tried the export several times now and the failure appears to happen at or near the same frame each time. Is there some hidden message file or any other technique that would help me determine what is wrong?
    Gary

    Hi
    +The output disk has PLENTY of space remaining.+
    Nearly of no interest BUT How much free space is there on the internal boot hard disk ?
    I would secure a minimum of 25Gb at least.
    To iDVD
    Don't use Share to iDVD - but -
    • Close iMovie
    • Find Your movie project - icon with Star on it
    • Open iDVD and import Your movie project
    How does this play.

  • More trouble with exporting for web

    Alright,
    Sorry to say but I am still having trouble converting/exporting my film trailer to the website for PC users to be able to access it.
    I converted it to a quicktime movie film from FCP, which plays beautifully but apparently PC users can't see it still.
    I have tried exporting to Compressor and tried every format there (mobile devices, web and so on...) they all came out pretty blurry.
    Does anybody have a full proof plan for converting/exporting for website viewing (PC and Mac compatible)?????
    P.S. It may help some of you to see the problem on the page http://www.inthelandofsmiles.com/Site/Film_Trailer.html
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    I will second the Flash suggestion. Great a .flv file and play it on your site with a flv player. Some are more difficult than others to use.
    NOTHING is fool proof with this kind of stuff. Flash has the highest install rate on all computers and is as close as you can get to fool proof. You can also put a link on you site to download the latest flash player. The other plus is that it tends to have the best results with low file sizes. This is what YouTube and similar sites use to play their video.
    PS. I highly suggest this flv player... It's free for non-commercial use and almost free for other uses...

  • Problems exporting HD video from Premiere Elements 9 for Vimeo (program crashes or video is blurry)

    I have a 10 minute wedding video I am trying to export from Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to upload to vimeo. I followed the directions from this video: Exporting for upload to Vimeo with Adobe Premiere Elements on Vimeo to figure how to accomplish this. The first time I followed the directions, the resulting video file was fuzzy and blurry, not at all like the HD video I could view in the program before export. Since then, I've tried exporting it multiple times with different settings, and each time the program crashes when the video is around 95% complete. How can I rectify this situation? This is a wedding video I made for a paying customer who would like their video on vimeo as soon as possible.
    Thanks for your help!
    Let me know if you need more details or clarifications.
    Laura

    Laura
    What are the properties of what you are putting on the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline? Are you working with a SD or HD file?
    What have you set as the project preset when you started the projec?
    1. So, video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio...as
    much information as you can supply....sometimes the brand, model, settings of the camera recording the video will give us all the
    information that you need to set up the project correctly or to verify that it has been set up correctly.
    Case Study....
    Let us assume that your video is 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second.
    Project Preset in New Project Dialog
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
    When you go to take your Timeline content to Vimeo from within the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 feature
    Share/Online, you will discover that there is no Vimeo choice in that version.
    So, what you are going to do is to export your Timeline to a file (AVCHD.mp4) saved to your computer hard drive and then upload that file
    to Vimeo at the Vimeo website.
    Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    Have you been there and done that?
    Summary...
    The answers are in the details....needed
    a. properties of source media
    b. project preset
    c. details of your project's Timeline content
    c. export settings used
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

    I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
    What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

    Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
    A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
    Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
    The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

    So far, this is good file size for online uploading, and good quality. Good enough. But there are still color issues, like some color blotching, and color transitioning, and the quality of the photos in the imovie when exported is not as good as when I view the slideshow in imovie. It's very important that the quality of the photos remain top quality as this for fine art photography promotion.
    If you have any ideas how to export slideshows from imovie, in top quality, please reply. This is for online viewing, to be uploaded in free-hosted sites like youtube, facebook, multiply, etc. I am aware that youtube and facebook have HD options for video viewing. I need someone's help. Thanks.

    Yes, I did. Not so good. The settings I mentioned above is actually the best I've tried so far.
