Problem exporting from STP

When I export as a wav or aif file i get a file which has that extension (.wav or .aif), but the bit rate (I am exporting as 24 bit on drop down) in the file description is 12,800,700!!!! Moreover, this file cannot be read or incorporated into Logic, Protools, or peakPro. I get various alerts from these programs: Peak: "Peak can only read mono or stereo files"; in Protools it wants to take up four tracks instead of a stereo audio space(track). Any ideas??
Was working fine before I upgraded my OS from 10.5.3 to 10.5.8........
Thank you.

This is weird- with the view options checked, I do not see expanded versions such as yours.....?
Actually I do when I expand mixer view.... No bus om Master, Just Submix 1 I'll try that tho-

  • Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

    Hey all,
    editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
    FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
    Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Much thanks,
    Holly

    I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
    Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
    The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
    You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

  • Quality problem exporting from FCE

    Hi,
    i have a quality problem exporting from FCE. I have finalized a 30 minute movie and want to send it to friends on DVD or CD-ROM. when i use "export as quicktime movie" the file has 6.5 GB and won't fit on a DVD-ROM. when i use "export with quicktime conversion" and choose quicktime movie with H.264 compression and highest quality the movie goes down to 4.2GB. Now it would fit on a DVD-ROM, but the quality is not good. The picture looks blurred and i see some type of interlace-effect.
    which type of export format do i have to choose to avoid the interlace and blurred pictures? is there a magic format that does not cost that much quality and reduces the movie by 30-40%? or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
    thanks for your help!

    or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
    That's what Id do.
    Export as QuickTime Movie (reference file is OK) and drop the export to iDVD.
    You will get 1 hour of FCE Timeline on a single sided disc using Best Performance (iDVD setting).
    Two hours using Best Quality (iDVD setting)

  • PDF quality problems exporting from InDesign and Photoshop

    Hi There.
    I'm having big problems exporting my InDesign files to PDFs and retaining the res. And it's not just the images (I understand about the dpi) it's the type on there too.
    I have been exporting as the preset High Quality Print - is this wrong. Are there other settings to ensure the PDF I export retains the high-res quality and clarity?
    At the moment it comes out high-res when I export it as a jpeg or eps but not PDF.
    I have also noticed the same problem when I export to a PDF from Photoshop.
    I really need to create interactive and high quality print PDFs from my InDesign files.
    Please can you advise.
    Thanks
    Karen

    I am also having problems with pdfs exported from Illustrator and Indesign recently. I didn't have these problems before, so I don't kno if something has changed in my settings that I am unaware of.
    When I use the 'japanese dots' border in Indesign, it shows on the pdf as a kind of dotted line. I'm exporting as 'High Quality Print'. I switched to Illustrator and drew a line with the pen tool, and converted it to a dotted line; it looked just how I wanted in in Illustrator, but as soon as I exported it, the same thing happened.
    I have used the 'japanese dots' border in the past, exporting as 'High Quality Print', and not had this problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Problem exporting from FCP using compressor

    Out of the blue - I'm getting batch failures trying to export from FCP for use in a DVD. Immediately after selecting compressor for export, I get an error reading "That file already exists", and a new tab appears in the media browser with a lengthy character string. Compressor opens fine, and I select Best Quality 4:3 encoding for video and aiff48 for audio. When the batch is submitted - it promptly fails and blames FCP for generating an error.
    Did all kinds of restarts and work arounds to no avail. The promising news is that this error seems to occur only when exporting from FCP through Compressor.
    My work-around is to export a QT movie of the piece, quit FCP, launch Compressor, and then import the QT for batching.
    Hope this helps anyone else in similar situations

    Hi:
    How long is your movie?
    The best workflow is FCP > Compressor > DVDSP.
    You can encode your timeline directly to get MPEG2 video and Dolby 2 (AC3) audio files. Then import those in DVDSP and author your DVD.
    Using Compressor you control the full encoding process. You can test with small parts of your movie (those where you got problems with iDVD) and find the best encoding options fopr your footage.
    Of course the DVDSP learning curve is longer than iDVD but once you learned ir you probably never go back. Like iMovie and FCP.
    To give you detailed info about what encoding settings to use you must post some info about your FCP project.
    Hope that helps !

  • Exporting from STP to a quicktime movie?

    Can anyone tell me why STP exports such a small file size.
    Example...
    I Send a sequence from FCP to STP as a multitrack project.
    I then added music in STP and exported the master mix as a quicktime movie in h.264 format with no compression.
    It cam out at just over 200 MB. Which is way to compressed.
    So then I exported it from STP to FCP and then exported the same movie as quicktime h.264 uncompressed and it came out at over 2GB.
    Seems like a major waste of time having to send it back to FCP just to export a decent size quicktime movie.

    When you export your mix "Using compressor" adjust the video compression so it's more to your liking. Or use the preserve Video setting which will pass the video through unchanged from the original.

  • Problems exporting from FCPX

    I can not export from FCPX. Get stuck on 95% and I give up after 45 min. It´s about 15 min fotage that I tried to export in Apple TV3 format.

    I've had this issue weekly with a show I produce.  It bugs me for hours.  In my case, I have to wait until the entire timeline is rendered, and then I have to export it to ProRes 422.  Any other codec requires a re-render, which provokes the problem again.  The problem starts when I take a few clips from my P2 and use the stability function along with any color correction topping them off with titles.  It seems as though part of the rendering process involves re-analyzing the entire clip during rendering, and if I don't allow it to completely render the clips, I get missing video with graphics on top.  I have a 12-core machine with 16GB RAM, and yet it still takes about two hours to render my 30 minute show after I'm done.  This doesn't include the hours it takes to analyze the P2 clips as I import them, which also hinders me during editing and causes continual crashes.  I'm hoping this new update I'm about to run addresses some of those issues.

  • Problems exporting from Text From Final Cut

    I'm having some troubles exporting from final cut. I'm trying to export uncompressed full quality version of a short we've finished editing. When I export it as a self contained, quicktime movie, the video looks great but any of the text in the film looks pixelated and bad.
    I tried to export using the quicktime conversion option, but whenver I do that I end up with great looking text, but the video doesn't look right. I can't really describe it, but the edges of anything moving look a little off.
    I've tried making the text in livetype and importing it, as well as useing the text generators in FCP, but they both yeild the same results when exporting the final product.
    Some help please! I want good looking video, and good looking text in my exports!

  • Export from STP loses pasted clips

    I am having a recurring issue with STP.  If I create a new audio file, and then cut and paste segments from other audio files, parts are disappearing when exporting. If I save the file as a STAP, it is there, but if it is saved (or exported) as wav/aiff/mp3 it will have pieces missing in the flattened file.   It's driving me insane. Any ideas?
    STP Version - 3.0.1

    I just tried this with three stereo mp3s, made edits and copy/paste, saved as a wave file, and worked no problem.
    Are all of the files you're copying from the same channel count (i.e., mono, stereo, multichannel)? Are you just doing a save as to save the audio file project as some other file type?

  • Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

    Hey all.
    Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
    "premiere pro debug event
    premiere pro has encountered an error
    [..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
    When I close that, another window pops up saying;
    "export error
    application failed to return a video frame.
    cancelling the operation."
    I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
    I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
    Many thanks!

    FAR too small !!!
    The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
    Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    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
    Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

  • Problem exporting from large sequences

    I'm reposting here becase it could be hardware related (the system is new), and because it wasn't answered on the CS5 forum and quickly got buried beneath 100 other threads.  There's usually more in-depth support on this forum.  Here goes:
    I'm running CS5 5.02 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with an X58A-UD3R mobo, i7 930, 12 GB RAM, and a GTX 470.  The footage is 4:3 NTSC DV, 29.97fps, 720x480. The sequence is DV NTSC Standard 48 kHz.  OS on C drive, media and project on E drive, exporting to F drive.
    I often put 100 clips or sometimes even 1000 clips on a sequence.
    When I go to File-->Export and start exporting video for a small work area (10 seconds or less), it brings up a dialogue box that says "Encoding Sequence 01" and doesn't make any progress for a painfully long time if there are many clips on the sequence.  The more clips in the sequence, the longer it waits before exporting.  If I isolate the same clip in another empty sequence and try to export the same small work area, it quickly exports the file.  As I add and delete clips from a sequence, the problem waxes and wanes.  When there's over 200-300 clips, I've never seen it export the video because it just sits there forever "encoding".
    I've tried this with several export formats: mpeg2, h264, quicktime, etc., with the same results.  Exporting a still JPEG will quickly work on the large sequence, but it is very slow to export video.
    It's as if Premiere is trying to encode the entire sequence first even though I've told it to only encode the small work area.  It still only exports the small work area I requested, not the entire sequence.
    Can someone please try to replicate this a few hundred clips and/or give me advice?

    Thanks for your replies, guys.
    I'm under deadline but will try running PPBM5 on Tuesday and post back here to see if you have ideas.
    There must be something wrong with my setup, because although the project runs smoothly, the exporting lags significantly even with 100 or 200 clips.  Surely CS5 should be able to export quickly from sequences as small as that.  I had no problem doing this with previous versions of Premiere Pro.
    Can anyone try throwing 100-200 clips onto a sequence to see if it causes any lag before exporting a small work area?

  • Problems exporting from premiere pro cs6

    Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp please!
    I downloaded my recent project from cs5.5 into a trial version of cs6 and now I'm getting an unknown error (problems compelling video) when I try to export my project (in H.264).
    I tried shutting off the auto safe, exporting in a different format (quicktime), restarting offcause, removing effects from the clip where the export failes, even tried exporting without that particular clip, but then it just happened another place in the film at another clip.
    I'm thinking there could be an export limit when you're only working with the trial, cause I have been able to export smaller bits of the timeline and as well other smaller projects. I'm a mac user and not that good at computers in general.
    I can still export a early version of my project from cs5.5 but I would really love to detect the problem in stead of starting all over since it's my BA project and I'm on a deadline...
    I really hope somebody know something helpfull

    I been in this same situation for two weeks. First update your software to the latest update. Just released yesterday
    I believe you have more than one clip. At the end and begining of the clip you should have little grey triangle shape. They are called handles, meaning extra space at end point and at begining. Usaually for transition. If you dont see it on both clips (as in picture) then the one clip which is misiing need to be trimed little or more until handles disappear or some time you see full triangle (as in picture). Do same if there are more. Then just try to export the ending where clips attach each other. Set in and out points as I did in the picture. Export and make sure to choose sequence in and out setting. here is the picture:
    I hope it works. I dont use this software anymore. I had a trail version. Used for two weeks. Every day same problem then finally figured it out and moved back to Edius 6. Thanks

  • Problems exporting from iphoto to SD card

    Hi
    I'm trying to load up an 2gb SD card for a digital photo frame.
    I think this problem is more to do with the sd card than the iphoto, but maybe someone knows the answer
    I've exported the photos from iphoto and it says there is 600mbish of photos, but when I load it onto the sd card the sd card says that there isn't enough space when blatently it's saying that there is 1.87gb left on the bottom of the window.
    can anyone help?
    thanks
    victoria

    Victoria:
    Here's a suggestion that might help the digital frame transition from one photo to another more smoothly and quickly:
    1 - determine the pixel dimensions of the display area on the frame.
    2 - put all of your photos to be used into a folder as Terence suggested.
    3 - download and run Resize! on the folder to resize the photos to the frame's dimensions. Use the following settings:
    Quality Level: I use 60%. IMO that's plenty for the resolution of the frame I have.
    Box Resizing: Maximum width: width of frame
    Maximum height: height of frame
    4 - Click on Go.
    This will create a new folder with the resized photos in it. You can rename that folder it will have the pixel dimensions attached to the folder name and copy it to the SD card. I found that this increases the smoothness and speed of the transitions between photos.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Audio Synch Problem Exporting From imovie 6

    I have a created a large imovie project in imovie 6 using pictures and imported video.  The project uses a lot of extracted audio voice overs on top of the photos. 
    While trying to export the video to quicktime or idvd, the audio gets out of synch at various points.  I have tried exporting it many times using a variety of different options, and the audio remains out of synch, sometimes in different places with each export.  Lastly, I have extracted the audio from the video clips for some of the more problematic portions of the project, but that has not proven successful.
    The odd thing is that the movie plays perfectly while in imovie.
    Any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?

    Hi
    Tedious situation.
    To avoid this I'm kind of strict in Audio in two ways
    A
    • Material used if video is in same frame per minute - else I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert all to one standard. I use PAL = 25fps - one of my Cameras records ONLY in 30fps - (some people records in 24fps - to get a movie feel - I never)
    So keeping the fps from Camera to (in my cases) DVD - gives a supperior result
    B
    • I'm strict in the kind of Audio formats I use - ONLY .aiff (or from miniDV tape Cameras) AND THEN 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (still .aiff as on normal CDs) and here 44.1kHz
    If Camera is set to record in LP-mode or 12-bit Audio - Then I use an external Audio Editor to get this right
    If from iTunes - I never use this directly - BUT - collect needed audio into a New PlayList - BURN THIS as a Standard Audio-CD (NO .mp3 - but .aiff here too) and then use the files on this CD in my movie project's in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any varsion (or if forced to - iMovie'11)
    Else read this
    Audio Sync problems
    • 12.bit - should be 16.-bit (from miniDV tape - set Camera right)
    Avoid recording in LP-mode on miniDV tape. This tape must be play-backed by same Camera. When Camera dies
    so does the video material in worst case.
    • .mp3, .avi etc strange file formats - should be converted to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
    • in iMovie (up to HD6) - do - Extract Audio - it most often helps
    • from iTunes - collect into a PlayList then Export out as an Audio-CD (not .mp3) and use the files on this (.aiff 44.1kHz)
    • There seems to be a problem with slow-down resp speed-up. Has to be in specific steps as 25% 50% 150% 200%
    else problems will arise
    • Audio problems when transitions is in use - especially iMovie HD/HD6
    a. Select video clips
    b. Extract Audio (Advance menu/Extract Audio)
    c. Now apply transition
    d. eventually fine-tune end and start of extracted audio clips
