Problem exporting Quicktime Mov with Premiere / Media Encoder

I have a MOV-file which has been exported from Final Cut. I imported and edited it in Premiere CS 5.5 and then tried to export again to Quicktime Mov. Problem is that the output looks terrible. There is some kind of "Motion bluriness" or fuzziness in the video and looks like there is a maybe "frame rate problem".
Does anyone know what the problem is? I use "real" Quicktime from Apple website.
Here is the information of my Premiere project:

Exporting Quicktime .mov with audio

I searched for a solution to my problem for a while and haven't found any so I felt I'd finally ask.
I am exporting a movie in Premiere Pro 2.0 as a .mov. Yet everytime I export the audio quality is awful. The audio plays fine within premiere, and the video exports perfectly. I've tried uncompressed audio, and the result is a loud static sound. I've tried multiple compressors (oblivious to which I should be using) none of which offered good results (sometimes it was even silent). What settings should I be using? (By the way, the audio in the scene is .mp3 and .wav, but I felt using the uncompressed setting would be find since I wouldn't be recompressing the audio)
I'm sure this is a very basic issue that has been addressed multiple times, but I couldn't find a thread or resource on the internet that helped with this issue I'm having. Thank you for any help you can offer, I appreciate it.

I use the same settings, as you, with one exception - instead of 8-bit, choose 16-bit for the Sample Depth.
I also dislike using MP3 as a source. With the exception of tiny SFX files, I always convert these to PCM/WAV (Uncompressed) 48KHz 16-bit, before Import. That does NOT restore all the data lost with the MP3 compression (I hate the sound with MP3, but that's a different topic), but it gives me the best source to edit. I use Adobe Audition, but the free Audacity does a great job of this.
Hope that the 16-bit does the trick for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what are you using to play the resulting MOV?

Export QuickTime movie with Compressor running in background

I've rummaged through the forums many times to figure out the absolute fastest way to get an FCP sequence compressed for DVD Studio Pro while maintaining the best quality. I always seem to come up with:
Export QuickTime Movie (not self contained) --> Compressor (DVD best quality settings)
This seems to work fine. I am currently exporting sequences in HDV 1080i60 and they take an extremely long time to export into QT movies. Because of that, I am editing a sequence, waiting for it to export, then dropping it into Compressor. At this point, FCP is available for editing again while Compressor is working, so I repeat the process. However, when I export to QT from FCP while Compressor is still running in the background it seems to take much longer to export.
Here is my question:
*Am I doing anything wrong by allowing Compressor to work while I am trying to export QT movies from FCP to the same drive?*
Is FCP actually taking longer to export, or is that my imagination? Would it be faster if I only did one at a time, or should it take the same amount of time either way? Am I putting the data on my final movies at risk by doing these things at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated as this is a time sensitive project. I am working in both FCP 5 and 6 on two different computers. 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB.

Compressor takes a lot of system resources. It will slow the computer down in other tasks.
Because Compressor can run unattended, why not take advantage of that?
Do your regular work that needs you to be there and run the Compressor Batch overnight or at other times when the system is idle.
Compressor's default destination for its processed files is the same directory as the original -writing the files to a different drive might help, at least that way your media drive is not reading and writing at the same time.

Missing Render Files / Problem Exporting Quicktime Movie

Everything was going great on my 21 minute project.
I had exported it to iDVD via a Quicktime movie and it looked great in widescreen format. It worked perfectly.
Now, for whatever reason, when I load my project, I get a message saying the Render Files are missing. I am unable to locate them anywhere. I had them stored along with my project on an external firewire 400 drive.
So I press "continue" without finding the missing files.
Now when I export my movie, it appears 4:3 with gray vertical bars on the side!
When I view the project on the canvas, it looks perfect as 16:9. Everything looks normal in FCE.
Did a render file get corrupted or something? Is there a way to delete all the "old" render files and tell Final Cut Express to re-render my entire new project? Would that solve my problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I did what you said and the "exported" file says:
Kind: Final Cut Express Movie File
Under More Info it says:
720x480 Integer (Little Indian) Timecode
Total Bit Rate: 30,313
Why am I trying to export?
Before I ran into trouble, I would export my FCE project using the Export Quicktime Movie command.
I then used iDVD (set to 16:9) to burn to DVD.
It worked perfectly before.
But now, all of a sudden, the same project always shows up at 4:3, whether played in Quicktime or when burned to DVD using iDVD set to 16:9.
The version of FCE is 4.0 and the version of Quicktime is 7.4.5
Thank you again for trying to help me!

For some reason, I can't compile a video or image sequence anymore with Premiere, Media Encoder, or After Effects... All CC

I have been working on a video for awhile now and I've recently noticed that my .flv export format has been removed from my choice of encoders. I export from Poser Pro Game Dev to Png Image Sequence. I organise a cam angle in After Effects...I re render out to a png image sequence.. continuing to hold quality. Then when a scene is done; I use Premiere to export a 1080 by 720 wmv format 29.97. But now I can't encode from Premere, Media Encoder, or Affter Effects. Please ...Any help would be much appreciated.

Cropping .mov with Adobe Media Encoder Problem????

I have a qt.mov that is 1920 by 1900, I needed to crop it down to 320 186. I did the conversion in Adobe Media Encoder using the same settings as the original movie. In QT the movie plays fine but when I embed it in the page and upload to the server the movie does not play as I would normally see the player then the stream and finally the movie. Any reason why this would be?

Went and got QT pro, I see that it has the streaming option, when I exported the file I chose streaming, uploaded the finished file and it works perfect.
thx

Problem Exporting QuickTime Movie.

Hey guys, when I vew my project in the canvas it doesn't play smoothly between clips. It's like it gets stuck on the last frame of the first clip for a split second. So I exported it to Quicktime movie and when I play it back and it skips and sort of glitches when it gets to the second clip. However, when I exported it using quicktime conversion, it plays smoothly. So why would it do this in FCP and when exporting to QuickTime movie?
My Sequence settings and clip settings all match, and they are: 23.98fps, 1920 x 1080, and the compression is H.264.

Sigh....
You are editing H.264 files in FCP. FCP doesn't work with H.264 well. Why the heck Apple allowed it to seem like it would work is troubling. But...whatever.
You should not edit H.264 files in FCP. FCP may LOOK like it will work with the format, but really, it won't. It's problematic. It isn't an editing codec, it's a delivery codec. A lot of NLEs don't work with it native. In FCP, you need to convert the files to ProRes first...BEFORE you edit. If they come from a camera like the Canon 5D, you can use Log and Transfer for this, if you install the EOS log and transfer plugin. Or you can use 5D2RGB, or MPEG STREAMCLIP, or Magic Bullet Grinder, or Compressor. No matter what, the files need to be ProRes before you begin editing. That's why you are having all this trouble.
YOu can use the MEDIA MANAGER in FCP to convert all the footage you already have in FCP to ProRes. Just highlight the footage, open Media Manager, and use the RECOMPRESS option.

Can I export Quicktime movies with the same quality/compression as DVD

I would like to export iMovie HD 6 projects as quicktime movies of about the same size, compresson level and quality as I get with iDVD. I would like to watch them on my macbook, but don't want the dvd interface. My attempts have tended to produce something close to full quality that requires too much disk space (10 to 12 G per hour) or tiny, overly compressed videos that only an ipod could love. Does anyone know how to set the custom settings to get this?

if your projects are Standard (=not HiDef), the iPhone preset in the export options work good for my standards..
or..
Export with Quicktime/Options... h264, original res of your project.. ='small' and good looking..

Set CABAC option exporting mp4 h264 with Adobe Media Encoder cc2014

hello everyone!
i would like to be sure that i'm setting an mp4 h264 video with the CABAC option.
in the video settings of the Adobe Media Encoder cc2014 i didn't find this option.
i know that i have to put the profile at Main, and i did! somebody can tell me where i can set or verify that CABAC option in On?
thank you!
pier

AME only uses the CABAC option for h.264 so there is no setting to set.

Problems exporting quicktime mov...

I'm having recurring issues exporting out a 960x540 h264 quicktime on my macbook pro running 10.8.2 to the "iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV" setting...(actually, it's happening to ANY quicktime clip I choose regardless of size or codec)
I choose export, select a destination, and hit EXPORT. Nothing happens. I have been having this issue for a good month.
Is this a preference issue? Am I missing something obvious?

Try an alternative work flow.
1) If you have a secondary account on your susyem, try exporting the same file using the other account. If it works corrently, then the problem is likely a corrupted QT X PLIST file. If it doesn't work correctly, the pthe problem may be in either the QT X player or the QT structure embedded in the OS.
2) If the H.264 file is in/can be moved to iTunes, then try exporting the file as a new version within iTunes. If it works correctly and your normal QT X work flow does not have a PLIST file problem, then the issue may be in the QT X player app itself.
3) As an alternative to paragraph 2 above, you could try an export using QT 7 Pro if installed, GarageBand, or the free MPEG Streamclip app. All of these work flows access the "classic" QT 7 routines. Once again, if the QT 7 based apps work correctly and the QT X player does not have a PLIST problem, then the issue may be in the QT X player itself.
4) If both QT X and QT 7 based apps are having a problem, then try using a third-party app like HandBrake. HandBrake uses its own codecs so if works correctly while both QT 7 and QT X based apps are having issues, then the problem may be a corrupted QT structure embedded in the Mac OS X v10.8.2 system software.

Additional Problems exporting quicktime movie out to ext. drive

I saw the previous discussion and will reformat my hard drive (Thank you for that info!!!), but can I copy these files (with av attached) to another drive and put them together again as a qt movie? I've captured many hours and would like to use what I've done already. When I open the original av file, qt asks me to open other associated files, and they all play together on the screen. But I can't save them. When I've tried to save them as other formats, they just get saved as audio files, even with avi or dv extensions.

Example, I captured a file I called Tape4broll. Instead of getting a qt file of that name with .mov extension, I got Tape4broll-av, Tape4broll-1-av, Tape4broll-2-av, Tape4broll-3-av. When I got to look at the files, when I open the first one, -av, it says it needs -1-av, so I locate that, then it says it needs the next one, -2-av, etc. When all are located, the file opens, the audio and video are there, but then I can't save that, can't save as, can't export as .avi or .dv. So I've got the working video and audio on the desktop but can't do anything with it.

Problems exporting a movie

hi, i hope you will be able to help me, (and forgive my poor english).
i use adobe cc, and it works great except when it comes to exporting a movie.
many times when i export a movie using the media encoder to MPEG2 - DVD, and the sequence is longer then one hour it doesn't export the video, and i get a black screen. when i do the export threw premiere pro it works properly. but it prevents me from using the computer and exporting multiply sequences.
today i had another problem, and this time the premiere pro didn't help, i tried to export a movie from a p2 camera (resolution of 1440X1080) to H264. i couldn't do it in both programs, and it only worked when i used my old adobe cs5.5 premiere pro. are you familier with this problem? if so' is there any soloution for this?
thank you!

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?

Help! Exporting problem in Adobe Premiere & Media Encoder

Hi guys,
I have a problem for which I did not find any solution on the web. I am not a very experienced Premiere Pro user. Maybe you can help me!
I made a project using Adobe Premiere Pro.
It has only one Sequence, but I have multiple clips which I want to export in that sequence as separate videos (see video 1, video 2, video 3 in the image)
The problem is that when I open Adobe Media Encoder, I open the sequence and I export all the different clips, exported videos do not keep all the Effects that I've applied to the video (contrast and brightness adjustments, other different image adjustments / effects etc).
So, I can automatically export all the videos with Media Encoder, but with no color corrections or other adjustments. When I play the Sequence in premiere it all looks good. When I export all the videos using Media Encoder, they do not have any effects applied.
If I export the sequence directly in premiere as a long video, it keeps the effects, but I get only one single video, and I need all of them exported separately.
The only way it works is making different sequence manually and exporting each one at a time. But I have 200 of them. So it will take a lifetime
I assume there is a smarter way to do it.
Did it happen to you? Is it something that I don't do right?
What should I do to keep all the Effects that I apply when exporting from Media Encoder?
Is there another method which I could use to correctly export all the 200 videos in that sequence besides doing it manually?
Thank you!

Did you happen to select clips from the Project panel in Premiere Pro and queue to AME? Can you export a timeline correctly (select a timeline > File menu > Export > Media > Click "Queue")? Effects are applied only on clips in timeline and not on media clips under the Project panel.

Premiere & Media Encoder show Quicktime presents but fail on encode

My Premiere & Media Encoder CS6 both show Quicktime presents but fail each time I try to encode directly to Quicktime with .mp4 codec.
Quicktime is installed on my machine, which runs Windows. I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud CS6.
Goal: to use the Quicktime format and sucessfully encode video sequences as .mp4 files at various settings.

BUMP! To this thread as I am still having an issue encoding QuickTime files. Below is a quick recap with some new information.
All testing is done on a system running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 with Adobe Media Encoder CS6, CC, and CC 2014 (same results across all versions).
The failure occurs after a few seconds of attempted rendering, with only the following message from AME:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie. Unknown error."
Important note: This problem DOES NOT exist on a similar system running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. So it would appear the problem may be OS specific to Windows 7 Professional (although there are a few forum threads with people experiencing the problem on Macs as well).
That said, here's what happens on the Win7 Pro system:
QuickTime movie encoding fails at 1920x1080 both from a dynamically linked Premiere timeline and from a rendered file.
TESTS:
1) H264 video with AAC audio FAILED
2) H264 video with uncompressed audio FAILED
3) Uncompressed video with AAC audio FAILED
4) Sorenson video with uncompressed audio FAILED
5) Uncompressed 10bit YUV .mov with uncompressed audio WORKED!!!!!
Of course, a :30 second television commercial rendered this way is near 5GB and is not the way most broadcast stations want a file delivered.
To sum up: all of the HD presets and custom settings for QuckTime with any sort of compression, fail to render on systems running Windows 7 Professional.
Here is a link to a similar issue, but the solution listed did not work in my case.
