Problem rendering video

Every now and then when trying to export an MP4 movie, the rendered file is corrupt and file size is 0 KB. Sometimes when this problem occurs, but not always, I also get a warning message saying "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of... Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled". At first, I thought this was the reason for the problem, but since the warning message doesn't occur every time, I don't think it is. Also, If I try exporting the movie once again without making any changes, it seems to work fine. I have a fairly recent computer with Windows 7, a good amount of hard disk space and RAM memory and a Radeon HD graphics card also with a good amount of memory, so the hardware shouldn't be causing the problem, I think. Suggestions, anyone?

Over the past few weeks I have been preparing an
IMovie project using Video Clips, Photo Clips and
Title pages. I then proceeded to render my project
last night. However, after rendering the project,
the Photos are fine, but the Video Clips and Title
pages are now no longer there. I am still new at
using IMovie, so I do not know what I have done
wrong.
Thanks
Andy
Your problem may be, that you may have forgotten to save your program when you closed it. You may have also forgotten to save the program from time to time while you were working on it. Is this what happened? iMovie suggests that you do frequent saves to your program while you are working on it. I had the same problems until I started saving my projects about every five minutes. When you are working on your project, do you still have your camcorder hooked up to your computer? It might help to disconnect it until after you have finished editing and creating your project, and it is saved and burned to a DVD, or placed in a backup area, preferably an external harddrive or, other system backup device.

  • Final Cut Express 2 - Problem rendering video in sequence

    I've created a 23 minute video but the last portion of the video will not render in the sequence. The audio continues to render. I would like to make some small adjustments and polish up the sequence to make a final copy but I can't see it in the canvas. I tried copying and pasting this sequence to a new sequence and to a new project. Making a new project worked once - for awhile the video was rendering and then it stopped again. Any suggestions? The render command just flashes a quick window - but doesn't do more than that.

    I have Final Cut Express 2 and I'm working on a G5 with OSX. I have two hard drives and on the one with the video, I still have quite a bit of free space.
    Do you think I should try to export it in 2 pieces by using the in and out markers when I export? Will that mess up iDVD when I go to press it?

  • My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

    THE PROBLEM:
    My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
    The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
    (Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
    For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
    FIXES TRIED:
    I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
    I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
    INVESTIGATION:
    Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
    HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
    I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
    The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
    Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
    Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
    Revision ID: 0x0001
    ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
    A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
    I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Many thanks!

    Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

  • I've had a problem with previewing rendered video files

    Hey guys, I'm Justin,
    thanks in advance.
    so when I render video files in fce, the video usually renders fine, but on the canvas the video just replays the first and last frame of the rendered video, making it look like a jumbled mess. but, when I export it as a quicktime file it runs just fine, I think the problem is in my canvas and I don't know how to fix it.
    Also I recently upgraded my system from 2gb of ram to 4gb of ram, can fce recognise this or do I need to do something fancy
    Thank you so much,
    Justin

    Hello, Justin, and welcome to the forum.
    Where is the video coming from and how are you getting it into FCE? Almost always, your best bet is to convert your media into a format with which FCE works natively before you bring it into the program. If you do that, rendering and lots of other issues are minimized.

  • Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
    All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
    Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
    Here are my computer specs
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
    Intel Core2 Quad q8200
    ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
    Gigabyte Motherboard
    4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
    This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Keith,
    The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

    What are the dimensions of your sequence and the stills.
    Stills need to be RGB.

  • Having problems rendering

    Hello everyone:
    OK now I'm having problems rendering. I have about 6m:22sec of video that I need to render. But I get this Render Error:
    Insufficient disk space. Free up space with the Render Manager and Retry?
    There is no files in the Render Manager Section?
    What do I do. The project is on a 1 TB Western Digital Ext Hard Drive with plenty of HD space.
    Any help would be great.
    This is not my day

    The project is on a 1 TB Western Digital Ext Hard Drive with plenty of HD space.
    Fine. But where are the Render files being written to and how much space is on that drive?
    Look at your Scratch Disks setting to find out.

  • Problems rendering Motion template

    When I add a Motion template onto my timeline and edit it, it shows up fine on the canvas until I render it...then nothing, the lower 3rd or whatever I put in there just disappears from the rendered video. It is still on the timeline, but only shows up on the canvas when unrendered. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    My problem is verrrrry similar to yours:
    When I add a Motion template onto my timeline and edit it, it shows and plays fine on the canvas -UNTIL- I render it...then it look like interlaced noise?

  • 3D camera position in rendered video different to camera position in timeline preview

    Hi all,
    I'm trying out the 3D and animation features of Photoshop for the first time. The model is a free 3DS model. Because After Effects doesn't support importing this format, I'm animating it in Photoshop against a 'green screen' that I will then chroma key out in After Effects.
    The problem is that the rendered video output's viewport / camera position doesn't match that in the timeline preview in Photoshop.
    In the screenshots below, I've overlaid the rendered video over the 3D workspace. In the first image, the video and timeline preview are identical. However, from the second image onwards, they diverge. (The semitransparent cow is the video overlay.)
    The first time I simply clicked on 'default camera' before rendering. The second time, I added a 3D camera position keyframe to the 3D layer and set it to the default camera. The result was the same both times.
    I would be grateful for any help with making the rendered video match the timeline preview.
    Thanks.

    This was resolved by chatting with Adobe Support.
    It turned out to be a problem with corrupted preference files in %appdata%\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC .
    Moving this folder to the desktop solved the issue

  • Preview and rendered video has distortion

    Hi,
    I have scoured this forum but can't seem to find my exact problem. I am getting very jerky playback (which I have seen in other posts) but mine is getting this odd green distortion too. The distorion seems to happen the exact same place every time in the preview and the rendered video. Last week this problem was occuring so I went and updated Quicktime and deleted my media cache in Premiere. Something seemed to help... for a while. Now the problem is back and worse than ever.
    Below is a screen shot of what I mean... Any ideas would be greating appreciated.

    Thank you Ann & Jim!
    First, let me say you got me working. It was the video driver.
    I did think of this before, but I went to Device Manager (Win7) and checked for driver updates there. There were none. But becuase you mentioned it, I pushed a little harder by going to Lenovo's site and downloading the latest drivers from there, not knowing if it's what I already have... It worked like a champ! Video looks pristine again.
    Thank you, and please pardon my bone-headedness.
    Just for giggles, I'm including my system specs in case it can help the next guy somehow.

  • Big color discrepancy when rendering video

    I'm editing video on a Mac using PS CC.  My Multisync PA242 monitor is calibrated.  When I open the .MOV files for editing I select sRGB for color managing.  I'm rendering out to a H.264  MP4 file and I've checked "color manage" in the export video dialogue.  My rendered video is hugely undersaturated.  My only "work around" is to OVER saturated before performing the export render.  After much research, I can find no advice addressing this issue.

    I am afraid this is not going to be a big help but you are not alone.  I have just started shooting video after years of still photography.  I have a full understanding of colour management and my still workflow is consistent from end to end.  My impression of video is that most video editing applications do not colour manage at all.  The professionals use expensive suites to edit in which separate calibrated monitors (to something called REC709 which is close to sRGB) are used to display the output but the User Interface display where all the work is done is not colour managed.  This is probably all right if you do all your work on an sRGB monitor but if you have a calibrated wide gamut monitor like many stills photographers then you are in trouble. I was under the impression that the Video module in Photoshop CC (and CS6) is properly colour managed as we understand it and should assume sRGB for untagged video clips but I could be wrong.
    The other big problem is that video "colourists" speak a different language from still photographers.

  • Need help saving a rendered video in Premiere Elements 13...

    I have a rendered video that I am ready to save to my computer.  The last Premiere Elements program I had was 1.0 lol.  In 1.0, I would select to export the video as .avi and use that to burn to a dvd.  In Premiere Elements 13, "export" is grayed out.  What it looks like I need to do now is Publish the rendered video, but I don't know what to select to save it to my computer for future burning to a Blue Ray Disc.  I plan on using Nero to burn the video to BD.  Any help would be appreciated.

    File Menu/Export/Movie is last seen in Premiere Elements 7. Now File Menu/Export/Title remains.
    Your export opportunities for Premiere Elements 13/13.1 are in the Publish+Share area of the program. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, consider doing so.
    What are the properties of your source media on the Timeline that is destined for Nero for your burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
    Have you considered taking your Timeline directly to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 using Publish+Share/Disc/Blu-ray?

  • Problem with video playback

    I just updated to 3.6.14 and after I did I'm now having problems viewing videos. The video plays, but in the right third of the screen there is a flashing block of red. Here's a screen cap of what it looks like:

  • I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

    I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4.  How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.
