Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:

Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
Thanks!

I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?

Problems when Exporting my video

Hello everyone,
I am an adobe flash user, and my problem is that when i go for exporting the video to avi it exports just a snapshot of few seconds. Please help me with this matter because it's becoming irritating especially after approaching deadlines.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Which platform are you using?
Which version of Flash are you using?
What are the video/audio settings that you are using?
Are you changing the frame rate from the Flash file to the video?
Are you changing the output size from the FIash file to the video?

Problems when exporting HD video to tape

I have edited several hours of HD video from a Sony HDR HC7 camcorder into a one-hour video. Capturing and editing the video with CS4 went just fine, although opening the footage and rendering it is very time consuming. However, I have been unable to export to tape without encountering several glitches on the tape. I define a glitch as a stop and start in the video, ranging from one-half to one second. I have discussed my problem with Adobe technical support numerous times, and have tried everything recommended. This includes the installation of a dedicated dual internal hard drive in the RAID 0 configuration, adding one GB of RAM using Windows, striping the tape, optimizing the system according to Adobe instructions, etc. etc. I have a quad system, 2.33 GHz, with 3.2 GHz RAM (apparently only 3 GB is effective), which contains all of the components recommended by Adobe for using CS4 with HD. I am using Windows XP, version 3, 32 bit. I have no problems when I export a standard definition version of the video. I even rented a different camcorder, a Canon HD20, which resulted in fewer glitches (in fact I was able to export one complete tape with no glitches, but only one.) I welcome any suggestions!

I guess first I have to ask why you want to recompress and go back to tape?
On to comments on solving your problem. Are you trying to reuse old tapes?
Recently I have started even having a few glitches in new tapes and yes I have run a cleaning tape several times through the cameras and the only tape I have ever used is Sony HDV tapes.

Lots of problems when exporting widescreen video

I've had similar problems to this before, but for now I'll just describe my current situation.
I shot a bunch of green screen footage in HD using a Canon XH-A1. I captured at 1080p in a 1080p HDV sequence. Everything was shot 16x9 HD using the camera's default HDV settings. I did add matte bars to give the film an artificial 2.35:1 look, though.
I had no problems with the edit at all, but when I attempt to export the video for both DVD and H264 for YouTube, it all gets crazy.
The first noticeable problem is that Premiere keeps cropping the sides of my image. If you switch from 'source' to 'output' in the preview pane you can see that portions of the image on the sides are missing. If I use a 1080p preset it looks like nothing is cropped, but for YouTube I need to do 1280x720 w/ square pixels, and for DVD I need to do 720x480 and with either of these options selected, the cropping begins.
So, my first question is, WTF is up with this cropping???
Another problem I'm having is that when I finally get the image to fill the entire 16x9 frame (through various tweaks in the many different presets - I'm not entirely sure what all I did), layers are arbitrarily moved around and thereofore placed out of sync with where they should be in my composites. Also, I always nest my final edit's sequence into another sequence so that I can crop the image to match the 2.35:1 bars (if you don't do this there's always a tiny little bit of the image underneath your matte bars that shows through when you project it).
Wtf?
Here are some visual aides:
Premiere cropping the sides on WS output:

Premiere moving placement of layers in composite when outputted:

Anybody know what's up?
Thanks!

Well, I've figured out a work-around for now...
It seems that PPro is having trouble nesting a 1080p sequence inside a 720p sequence and/or outputting a 1080p sequence to to anything other than full 1080p or 720p with anamorphic pixels at 960x720 (instead of 1280x720). I don't get it, but I found a way to get what I need... it just takes a while.
I was able to export my film to 720p H264 with anamorphic pixels. I then made a new project with a 720p sequence setting and dropped in my newly encoded 720p video. With the new project I was able to export the 720p video to any format I wanted without any of these cropping issues.
I'd still love to know what causes this.

When diagnosing a failed render the first thing you should look for is the difference between the failed project and one that is successful. What is different? What changed?
Before we can get any idea of why these renders are failing we need to know the encoding settings and the type of source footage. Encoding Failed does not tell us anything useful in diagnosing the problem. If your AE project is using effects or footage that is clogging up memory or has some other problem then we should know about your AE comp as well. That means we need to know what version of AE you are using, what effects are applied, and anything else that is different in the project that fails and a simple project that does not.

Massive problem when exporting my video from Adobe CS6

I have 25fps, 1440 on 780. On premiere pro, everthing seems fine, and the quality is good.
However, when i export my file (H.264), the video lags, and most importantly, has waves shaped stripes that difform the image. These lines and stripes occur as soon as there is any camera or character movement?
Is this one of my settings? PLEASE HELP!! I am desperate!!!
Thanks

Camera rotation problem when exporting a camera from After Effects CC to Cinema 4D 15

Looking around, this problem is happening to a few people, with no satisfactory solution.
Basically, when I export an AE camera / project into C4D, everything looks great... till I notice that the camera's horizon will jump a few times.... so that if it were tilted 20 degrees to the left, it will pop to be tilted 20 degrees to the right.
It's definitely not in the footage- it's a simple walk down a hallway. The AE track is fine- it's only in the C4D track that the problem arises.
I've tried creating new AE projects, re-exporting, etc. I'm running AE CC and C4D 15.
Anyone ever figure out how to fix / get around this?
Thanks!

It's 13.2.0.49... I just installed it yesterday.
C4D is R15.008
I'm wondering if I would have the same issue with C4D Lite, but I can't figure out how to open it (I assume it downloaded with AE). Rather than launch Lite, AE seems to automatically find C4D 15 and open that.
I've been using AE and C4D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with both. The bug is odd and quite disappointing, as I bought this version of AE specifically so that I could track footage and export the camera info into C4D.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

Hi all,
Finished editing a short movie.
Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
thanks
Louis B

Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
First steps
- Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
- Delete project and events render files
- If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
Next Steps
I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
best wishes,
Louis B

When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to cancel it.

When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to close it out. I get no warnings or any explanations. Any ideas? I am running Windows 7. No problem viewing it in LR. Thanks

Found out LR wasn't stopping but slowed way down. For 19 pictures, no video and no sound it took over 6 Hrs to export. Does anyone have any ideas to help this? Thank You.

Movie keeps stopping after 45 clicks

Hi,
My flash movie keeps stopping after I've clicked 45 times and
I've no idea why. There are lots of buttons on the page and when
you click them they count how many times the buttons has been
clicked and display this in a dynamic text box underneath the
button. Not very exciting I know, but very useful at school. When
I've clicked one button 45 times or a combination of buttons adding
up to 45 the movie goes white (my buttons disappear). I'm quite new
to flash so sorry if this is really basic.
Thanks,
Zoro

Thanks for replying kglad.
I've just realised what the problem is! I've only got 45
frames on my timeline and the code includes nextFrame so when it
gets to the end it doesn't know what to do. Dhurrr! I can sort that
out. Sorry to have troubled you.
Best wishes,
Zoro

When exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end

when exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end. trying to export just one picture, i realize that when exporting multiple pics to a movie it fades to black at the end, but im just doing one pic. settings are as follows, ken burns effect is being used, settings in slideshow, transition are "none". settings in "adjust" show transition as "none" also. this is my first post so hope that this makes sense. thanks.

wcminor:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I tried to duplicate your settings and exported to a QT movie. The movie did not fade to black at the end. It does fade when played in iPhoto.
My settings were:
In the slideshow window:
Effect: none
Default transitiion: none
In the settings pane:
KB is checked, transition is none.
It's the same whether there's music or not.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

When exporting many videos with Lightroom 5, the process hangs randomly and needs to be restarted.

When exporting few videos, the process hangs randomly. The processor performance is 0 % and the lightroom says it is working (actually it is not). I have to quit lightroom, kill all processes like amecommand.exe, Adobe Media Core, Adobe Dynamic Link Manager and restart the process. It stops randomly.
I am exporting ALL-I videos from Canon 5D mark III, into H264, high quality.
PS: The same situation was with Lightroom 4.

Hello,
i have the same problem on LR5.5 on Win 7 (8G RAM)
Thank you for any help.

Youtube videos stop after activating bluetooth headset

Anybody else having youtube videos stop after activating a bluetooth headset?
I've seen a few people mention it, but no consistent resolution. One post said to change the audio frequency under midi config, but the panel only gives an option of 8Kb.

I'd love to see some resolution on this as well. It seems any(?) flash based application or plugin will refuse to play audio and/or video when the default audio output device is a bluetooth headset. I've tested this in several browsers with flash video. Oddly, if the web-based flash video is downloaded, VLC is able to play it with no problems.
My guess is this is a conflict between Adobe's Flash player and the bluetooth drivers in OSX.
The suggestion regarding changing the MIDI frequency to 44Khz is also not an option as this particular headset is limited to 8Khz (one channel)

My MacBook will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.

My Mac book pro will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.

Hello GrahamBIOM,
I understand while viewing a video or listening to some different content, you lose audio, is that correct? I will do all I can to assist you with this issue.
Does the issue occur when you have headphones inserted? If you are not sure, if you have a set of headphones available could you test that please?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience with results.
Thanks

How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
You can also use dropbox as an option.
With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself. There are presets for iPhone compression.
