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.

  • 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?

  • PP CC 14 & AME CC 14 Exporting Sequence to MPG2 DVD Problem

    I am trying to export a HD sequence out of PP CC14 to AME CC 14 for DVD.  All my settings are set, exporting to MPG2 DVD.  In the PP export window, if I choose either "Export" (which renders the files through PP) or "Queue" (which exports sequence to AME and renders the file there) both finished files are Re-transcoded when brought into Encore CS6.  That should not be the case.  It is transcoding the file twice and producing terrible quality.  Exporting to a H264 for blu-ray works fine, only the audio is re-transcoded.
    I found in the previous version of PP CC and AME CC (not the new "14" version), the workaround was to render everything through the PP Export Window and NOT send to AME.  If I did that, Encore CS6 would show "Transcoded or Do Not Transcode" in the video status window - and once again, would only re-transcode the audio. 
    Has anybody else experienced this? Or have any idea what I am talking about?  How does anybody else export to DVD?
    My workaround now is to use the H264 blu-ray file, import into Encore, choose "Max Render Quality," and burn the DVD that way. 
    I am running the New Mac Pro 10.9.3
    Thanks...

    Re Stan:
    This problem is happening when I am burning to DVD, not blu-ray. 
    When I do burn to blu-ray, the H264 file created in the PP 14 export window works fine in Encore - no re-transcoding. 
    The MPG2 file created for DVD in PP 14 has to be completely re-transcoded in Encore.
    On this particular project, I had both a h264 file and an mpg2 file, one for blu-ray one for DVD.  I just ended up using the h264 file for DVD, and let Encore re-transcode that file for DVD.  It was better quality than using the mpg2 and have encore re-transcode.
    I know it sounds confusing - let me know if you understand.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to export sequence to P2 card?

    Hi everybody
    I saw a tutorial in Adobe webpage explaining how to export sequence back to P2 Card, as Premiere CS3.2 (updated) is able to recreate, from a edited timeline, all the folder and file system needed to be read on a P2 card under mxf format.
    This can be a great way to export full resolution HD edited footage from one PC to another.
    Unfortunately, I cannot find "export to P2" choice in my menu. I get export to Encore, to Tape, but no "P2" mention. But this mention appear in the Adobe tutorial... concernig any version from Premiere CS3.1
    How comes this feature doesn't appear anywhere into the menu of my Premiere pro CS3, version 3.2?
    Any clue?
    Thanks

    I found the link explaining how to do it.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WSE32B8568-2904-4e95-861 A-F09F75AA6C7B.html
    Here is what they say:
    "Select the sequence or clip in the Timeline panel or Project panel.
    (Optional) If exporting from the Timeline, set a timeline marker, numbered 0 on the frame you want used as the P2 icon for the exported.
    If you do not set this marker, the first frame of the sequence will appear as the P2 icon by default.
    Choose File > Export > Export To P2."
    Problem is that: I don't get any "export to P2" at this place in my Premiere CS3.2

  • 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.

  • Exporting Sequence Unknown error

    Impossible to export sequence, I keep on getting the message "Error compilling movie.  Unknown error."
    I even tried to export in batches, it still does not work.
    The sequence is under 5 minutes with mix camera footage:  GoPro, Iphone, MPEG4, MXF files.
    Working on a MAC PRO 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel. 16 CB memory. 
    Editing with Premiere Pro Cloud CS6.  Editing mode AVCHD Square pixel 23.976 fps matching the MXF files.
    I had previously exported another sequence of shorter length just fine. (it was a minute long) but this one is a no go.
    I took out the majority of effects I had created which were all done with CS6 (repo, resize, etc.. ), still getting the same message.  Started new project, new sequence, etc.. Same issue.
    Project was previously edited on another computer, on a PC, and the names of the folders and the clips were modified on the drive (from the original folders which do not exist anymore)  I had to relink the footage clip by clip to keep the original description, and yet sometimes when I shut down the program, the clips go unlinked, and I have to start again.
    I am just trying to export for Youtube.
    Suggestions are welcome.

    In my experience, having mixed content (codecs, resolutions, frame rates) does not cause encoding to fail.
    Your graphics card is not supported for PPro's GPU acceleration, and new drivers will not change that. For the purposes of your current encoding problems, being able to enable GPU acceleration is not likely to fix the issue. In fact, it's more likely that GPU acceleration would cause the problem, so I was going to recommend switching to software only had the GPU been in the mix.
    Here's what I'd try:
    Clear the project's cache file in case one of them is the fly in the ointment. You'll find them at the following path (unless you set a custom path for this project): /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common
    Download the trial version of PPRO CC, load your CS6 project, and try to encode. It's possible that you're hitting a problem that was fixed in 7.x. Be advised that if you make any edits to the project in 7.x, you will not be able to open the new version of the project in CS6.
    If neither of those measures work, then the best bet is to try to isolate the cause of the encoding failure. I do this by dividing the sequence: 1st half/2nd half; or video-only/audio-only; or if there are multiple tracks, disable one at a time.

  • 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.

  • Problem exporting .mov file

    I'm trying to export a :30 second sequence using quicktime conversion to a .mov file. I use the default settings with the H.264 codec and uncompressed 16 bit audio. (I've also tried a few other settings with Sorenson and Sorenson 3) The same thing happens everytime. The export takes forever (about 20 minutes) then stops when the progress bar gets to about 79%. A general error comes up. On some occasions, I have also gotten a notice that says my startup disk is close to full. This is confusing because all my drives have at least 10gb of space available on them.
    It was suggested in another thread that this could be a result of a corrupt media or render file. If so, how does one determine that this is the cause? It was also said that bad RAM might be to blame.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hmm...
    I wouldn't jump right into upgrading as a fix at this point, since your program shouldn't have any trouble exporting a simple Quicktime, and the upgrade to Final Cut Studio from FCP 3 is $799 USD. That isn't full price, but still may be a bit steep if you've chosen to keep using FCP 3 for so long. Although I will say that subsequent versions include many improvements that you might actually appreciate so keep it in mind.
    Have you tried exporting using Quicktime Conversion from any other projects with any other clips? That would also be a good idea, to narrow down the problem. Did you try exporting a Quicktime Movie using Current Settings? I realize that may not be adequate for your final intention, but it would help the troubleshooting as well.
    I once had a problem exporting a clip from FCP and after trying everything, I recaptured the clip and it ended up working. There were no visible glitches or skips in the video to indicate that the clip itself would have been corrupt, but turns out it was. So if you can recapture, since it's only a 60-second clip, maybe give that a whirl.
    You should also trash your FCP prefs (search for com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist on your sytem drive and delete that file), repair your permissions (in Disk Utility), and restart.
    Post back,

  • Problem exporting HDV to NTSC format

    Hello!
    I have a problem exporting my HDV timeline to NTSC 48Khz format. I simply open the timeline and click Export as Quicktime Movie and choose NTSC format 48Khz format and keep everything else the same.
    It exports, but then all of a sudden it stops 3/4`s of the way through and only captures it to there, not to the end. This is leaving me really really confused!
    Any ideas what is wrong?

    Make sure there's no in or out points selected in the timeline window. If it fails again with those gone, it's likely a media file it hits when it stops... about the same precentage in from the head of the sequence.

  • Project manager - problem exporting a project with AE compositions.

    I have a problem exporting my project to another disk, this is what happens:
    I needed to move the project from the windows partition of my Mac to the Mac partition, in order to be able to continue my edit under MacOS, my sequences include a series of After Effects compositions of footage that has been stabilized in warp stabilizer using the option "replace with AE composition" from the timeline.
    Using the project manager I started my backup operation, with these options:
    Source: all sequences selected
    Resulting Project: Collect files and copy to new location
    Include Audio conform files
    Destination: a folder in the Mac partition
    The resulting project had a message popping up saying that AE rpject file is missing (it was, I had to manually copy and paste it from ithe win partition to the mac) and once copied obviously AE couldn't find the source video clips of its compositions, so I had to manually re-link them all  (quite difficult job to do among almost two years of footage).
    What have I done wrong ?
    Why AE lose the connection with the fils?
    Thanks

    Thanks Jim,
    I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software.  I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented.  Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives.  The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix.  As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
    Best,
    Jon

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?

  • Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

    hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
    much respect,
    tommy bravo

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

  • 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

    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?
