Problem exporting new sequence

I created a new sequence, then I copied and pasted the project from the first sequence. I then made changes in the new sequence.
Now I want to export it as a small QT file to e-mail it to someone.
When I export as a QT file, it works. When I try to export as a "QT conversion" and use "low streaming", it says "movie file "2nd sequence" cannot be found".
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Gerry

Can you take your successfully exported file, open it in QT pro and do the streaming conversion from there?

Problem exporting large sequence in Premiere Pro 5.5

So I am currently creating a compilation of many videos for a contest this weekend, and am having trouble exporting it all together.
This is a mix of SD and HD footage, from various framerates, resolutions and aspect ratios that I have conformed (using the "Scale to Frame Size" option) to a 720x480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, progressive scan environment (started with the DV NTSC preset and modified from there).
The project has expanded to become 1 hour and 45 minutes long, with many titles (at least 58). I should also note that it appears to have become very unstable, crashing quite frequently, though other projects will load just fine. And before anyone asks, I have already attempted moving everything into a new sequence and exporting from there, as well as importing the sequence into a new project, to no avail.
My normal export settings are:
720x480 resolution,
4:3 aspect ratio,
29.97 fps,
Render at Maximum Depth checked,
VBR,
2 pass,
Target bitrate: 8,
Maximum bitrate 12
I should also note that I have not prerendered any of the footage.
Now, whenever I try to export it begins the process, and then always hangs at 18%, when the m4v file has become 2.15 GB, and then even after leaving it for several hours it progresses no further, and the file size of the m4v and others does not change. I have attempted a new export now that runs with
VBR 1 pass
Target bitrate 3
Maximum bitrate 6
to see if that changes anything, though I don't expect it will.
Please get back to me about this as soon as possible, as an event this weekend is riding entirely on my ability to create this video.

Never leave empty gaps in the timeline, fill with black. File > New Item > Black Video will create a slug you can use.
When I mention Media Encoder, I do mean exporting direct from Premiere - that is just an integrated version of AME. If you choose "Queue", that then opens AME as a stand-alone app.
Advice on check boxes - boxes that are unchecked by default are in that state for a reason - they only help in certain situations, so if unsure what the result might be, stick with the defaults. For instance "Max Render Quality" sounds like a no-brainer, but in reality only helps when scaling the output. If exporting 1080 to 1080 for example, then no need for that.
In another thread today, someone had poor quality video output and it was a direct result of checking the "Frame Blending" box - for reasons unknown ;-)

Problem exporting image sequence

Hello,
Somehow the rendering of my fileout node fales.
I want to export my composition as an image sequence (tiff). When I render the fileout node, the flipbook is working, but the exported images contain only the foreground image of my composition and the background image is missing.
What do I do wrong?
I just connected a foreground image sequence to a background image, using the over node. Then I attached the fileout to the over node.
Maybe it has something to do with the imagename of the fileout?
Thanks for any advice,
Wypke

sorry,
discovered that preview (the application in which I opened my shake-output) doesn't recognize shake exported files...
problem solved.

Problem exporting AVCHD to H.264

I am having big problems exporting a sequence to H.264. I will try and provide all the information. Please let me know if I have missed something.
Problem:
The sequence will not export cleanly. I have tried H.264, MPG 2 and MOV files none works. My preferred output would be H.264. I have exported files in this format before (taken on the same camera) with any trouble but this time there are jumps in the video (i.e. the picture jerks for a fraction of a second) and/or massive distortion of the whole image - see screen grab. The problem is not present when viewing the sequence.
I would really appreciate help with this.

New sequence problems

Hello
when i go to make a new sequence, i my picture becomes either small or big
example of big picture, and when i got to export to quick time to put in dvd studio pro it says the file is wrong
/Users/randall/Desktop/Screen shot 2010-10-17 at 2.03.54 PM.png
can some please help me, this is my first time using this discussion so if you respond please email me also thanks [email protected]
Thanks

I need to see the item properties for the clips and for the sequence. Video is exact numbers. I need to see the numbers. Frame sizes, codecs, frame rates.
What it looks like is that you're putting a standard definition video in an HD sequence. Exactly what the media is and what the sequence is I don't know because you will not give the exact information. The information is in the browser. It's in item properties. It's in sequence settings. I told you where to look. Give use some numbers and real information here.
If you're copying and pasting from one sequence to another, you need to tell us the exact specs of the clips in the first sequence, the settings of that sequence, and the settings of the sequence you're pasting into. They don't match. It's got screwed up somewhere along the way, but without knowing what's what we can't tell you how to fix it.
The lines in the canvas are the safe action and safe title area. They have nothing to do with your problem.

How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
has anyone resolved this issue?
This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

Hi David,
Coming in and whining loudly is rude. We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture. Speaking just for myself: although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use. If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X). Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images. You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD. Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky. There are _many_ possibilities. Some things can't be done. Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above). What have you tried? What was the result? In what way did this differ from what you expected?

Problem exporting 16:9 sequence

Hi everyone. I am trying to export a 16:9 sequence (tried both QT and QT conversion) but I'm getting a 4:3 result every time. Following Tom Wolsky's suggestion, I made sure the sequence is 16:9, to match my captured anamorphic footage. Is it possible that I need Quicktime Pro to be able to get the right, 16:9 aspect ratio for the exported file? If not, any other suggestions on what to do? Thank you for your help.

After much trial and error, I have figured this out.
Here is my 7-step guide to getting anamorphic 16:9 DV onto DVD through iDVD. There might be easier ways but I just couldn't find them... this one works...
1. export anamorphic sequence with QT (without conversion) to desktop (it will look 4:3)
2. download myDVDEdit from the internet (free)
3. create new project with iDVD, and follow these myDVDEdit instructions:
http://www.mydvdedit.com/viewtutorial.php?t=27e&pg=forum
4. when you run into the challenge of trying to save the modified Video TS file, here is what to do about removing the 'read only':
http://www.mydvdedit.com/viewtopic.php?t=53&pg=forum
5. download LiquidCD from the internet (free)
6. with LiquidCD, you can burn a DVD pointing to the modified Video TS folder
7. end result: 16:9 great picture on DVD

Problem exporting sequence

I'm trying to work with some footage that is 1920x1080, h264, and cut together a 6 minute sequence. First, I often get the dropped frame alert. My system is a Mac Pro running a quad core 2.66, with eight gigs of ram, with a dedicated internal sata drive for the project. I'm wondering if this is enough. I have been able to export my sequence to a quicktime file with success, however, when I try to include any dissolves or cross fades, the file plays up to the point of the first effect, and then I get a green screen and quicktime hangs. Any thoughts?

h264 is not a suitable editing format. Although it may work for a while, I promise you, you will eventually have problems (oh wait, you are having problems).
Convert the h264 footage to a more fcp friendly format (pro res is a great idea) using compressor and then edit with it.

Export work area to new sequence - how to ?

Good morning,
I have a piece of footage on my time line, which I would like to
export and put into another sequence, is this possible to do ?
thank you,
Dave.

Yes, various ways. Duplicate sequence, ripple delete fore and after, or just copy & paste to new sequence, or export and import.

Problem exporting sequence as aaf Premiere Pro CC.

Hi all,
I have been trying to export a sequence as an aaf to bring into Avid Media Composer and I have just been getting this error:
Any ideas? Thanks

Make sure there are no gaps in the video.
Fill them with black video.
Why do you want mpeg2?
Why do you need to Export and dont want to use the Queue?

Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
Here is some additional background info if desired:
I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
Maybe this helps someone?

Resolution problems exporting to DVD

I am brand new to FCP 5 and everything I have learned has been within the past two weeks. I have read MANY posts on resolution settings, square pixels vs. retangular pixels, iDVD problems, exporting problems, etc. However I have not found an answer to my problem, but many helped.
I am currently trying to project video from a DVD. The projection needs to be an EXACT size. After exporting and viewing with projection in QT Fullscreen, the video is exactly what I want.
However, when I burn a DVD using iDVD and project it from a DVD player, the projection is slightly stretched horizontally. Why is that?
The sequence is originally from HD and the export settings are -
-Frame Size: 640x480 (4:3)
-Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1440x1080
-Exported using QT Conversion NO COMPRESSION
(There are many other combinations of frame size and pixel aspect ratio's that also work initially, but they project with the same problem.)
I had to have missed something.
ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Eric
Power MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The footage did come from an HDV from Sony.
I use QT Conversion because if I export it as an QT Movie, the video is distorted. However, when exported through Quicktime conversion/quicktime movie/no compression, the movie is exported in the correct dimensions, though the DVD play back issue still persists.
I am running off of iDVD v 5.0.1 and could not find a place where I could choose a 16:9 option, if that is what you meant.
The sequence does include a PSD mask which was imported as a Layered Graphic Sequence. That shouldn't have any impact on the burning issue though.

Problem exporting using Compressor in FCP?

I had a problem exporting using Compressor in FCP and then I found an interesting article from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1099
but it doesn't really explain the solution. What steps do I need to take exactly in Compressor to make it work?

James M. has it right. Convert the MP3 and the WAV files to AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit and use those in your Sequence. You might even have to convert the existing AIFF file(s) if they aren't 48khz, 16 bit.
Once you've edited the new files into your Sequence, do an Audio Mixdown, then export.

Best options for exporting a sequence and making a DVD

Hello,
I have a sequence that is 79 minutes long with the following properties:
Vid Rate - 29.97 fps
Frame Size - 1440 x 1080
Compressor - Apple Int. Codec
Pixel Aspect - HD (1440x1080)
This project began with the intention of being a short video, which is my background, and I can usually deal with exporting issues for short videos. However, it is no longer a small project. This was unexpected, and I frequently find myself in over my head. I am at the point where I need to give small theaters copies to view for consideration for a real screening, and would like to ask the folks here some questions:
How would you export this sequence for viewing on a DVD? Export through QuickTime Movie (not conversion)? Wouldn't that make a file too large to create a DVD with iDVD? DVD is only SD, yes? How is that (watching on a DVD) taken care of, if at a later time I would want a DVD of this sequence to be in the best quality possible?
This is a lot of questions, and I hope not too vague. Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
My notes on this
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R (plays on more even older DVD-players)
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
If problems:
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving
Yours Bengt W

Can't export a sequence

I have a 45 min Long HDV sequence and when I try to export it with quick time conversion set at DVPRO NTSC it immediately say General Error with no number, and the canvas window turns solid red and say "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
I seem to be able to play the sequences with no problems. Other sequences in the project exported fine. When I try to export the sequence using Compressor or QT export it gets about half way through and FCP crashes. I trashed preferences but it still does not work. What's going on?
Vince

It might be possible that some portion of media or render file is corrupted,
render files could be deleted and replaced by new renders.
Should you trash renders do so using Render Manager (manual III-673), which can be found in FCP main menu>Tools>Render Manager.
If instead some corruption of the original media has occurred you need to find the corrupted file.
Set in and out on portions of your sequence and try export again to see if a specific portion produces the general error again.
Finally did you try exporting as QT movie reference (self-contained unchecked)?
Hope that helps,
G.
