Problems Exporting AVCHD videos in HD

Hi guys,
I just bought a Sony hdr-tg3.
When I want to export the HD files via QT (tried all formats up to 1080i) the result is a movie with "fading lines" whenever there is faster movement.
What am I doing wrong ? Are there certain settings ?

Hello Herbysworld,
you've come tumbled across a problem that's been thoroughly discussed in this forum. For detailed information check this huge thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1884912&tstart=0
The short version is, that iMovie 09 doesn't deinterlace your footage properly. You can avoid this by importing and/or exporting at 960x540 or using progressive material from the start. If your camcorder can record 30p/25p you're fine. It seems you can also get clean 1080i output if you don't apply any resizing (picture-in-picture, stabilization). Then you can deinterlace with a 3rd party program like JES Deinterlacer.

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.

Big problems exporting a video in Media Encoder - detailed info

Problems with exporting media through Adobe Media Encoder.
Hi there. I am really confused now, writing this, cause my Premiere CS4 has worked pretty good the year I have had it.
So it has chosen a really bad timing to cause me problems.
I am working on a big musicvideo production. The whole video is now finished, and the labels and the artists are waiting for the video. But I’m facing big problems now. And I have tried everything to solve this, without succeeding.
·         When I export the video, the Adobe Media Encoder sometimes waits and waits and waits and waits, and nothing happens.
Screen shot:
·         When it does start, if goes to about 20%, and then it interrupts and give me "an unknown" error in the log-file:
Screen shot:
·         Sometimes when I open the project , it gives me the following message when importing the media files.
Screen shot:
·         The weird thing is that this only happens to the HD version. I have the same video in DV version, in a DV project, and it exports without any problem.
So PLEASE help me here, what shall I do??? I MUST finish this video!

And here is my log-file with all the attempts I've tried with different settings...

Problem Exporting a Video Originally Imported using F4V Format

the last version of flash i used with Macromedia Flash MX. Now i'm using Flash CS6, in fact this is my first time using it and i've been trying to get this task done for just over 12 hours now but i can't seem to figure it out....
I have 3 videos that i split up into 3 scenes using windows live movie maker
then i used media encoder to convert all the cenes to F4V
From there, i imported the first Scene of each video into individual layers in Flash CS6 used the "Load external video with playback Component Method
The reason why i use that method was because when i use the other method with the video in FLV format the video and audio was out of sync when i exported/test scene
with the load external video method it works perfect in test scene... pretty much the way i want it to, however when i export the video it doesn't even play my best guess is that's because each video is only on one keyframe. and needs to be converted and action added.
am i right? where do i go from here? how can i export these scenes... what am i missing?

these are the supported youtube formats:
.MOV
.MPEG4
.AVI
.WMV
.MPEGPS
.FLV
3GPP
WebM
and, of those, only mov and avi can be exported from flash pro. those exports are usually unsatisfactory because flash pro is not a video editing program. ie, you are using the wrong tool for the job.
check adobe premiere.

Problems exporting a video in Media Encoder

Hello all,
I have a strong believe that it is a some kind of memory leak.
I have the same problem where I want to export a AVCHD file 1080i to DV. AME stops quite randomly but always around the same spot in the timeline. Even at places where the clip does not have any effects in it.
My workaround for now is to export it in small pieces and paste it in Encore again. BTW: My 2:02 hour project is now somehow 1:59 and the sound clips (AC3) doesn't fit for 100% (is 1 or 2 frames longer than the video) when I past it in Encore. For me it is acceptable in this case, but it should work in a proper way.
When I export the timeline (or piece of it) I see the available memory (I have 12 GB in total) run down from 6 GB to less than 1 GB especially when the program is working on a clip that is longer than 1 minute. And in those long clips the AME always seems to fail. Sometimes in the beginning of that clip, sometimes at the end. Quite random so it seems. If I take a next part of the timeline to export, beginning with that same problematic clip, the system can take the hurdle somehow and keeps encoding until the next long clip comes around.
Duplicating the piece of timeline in AME and expecting it to fail at exactly the same spot is not happening also. It stops always a bit earlier, so I suspect that this has something to do with the systems memory.
I havent't tried it to export the whole two hour timeline to AE and encode it from there.
Should I adress my memory a different way in Windows 7?
I have a Intel Quad Core i7-975 3.33 GHz and 12 GB memory.
Have CS4 Production on a D-drive installed
a Scratch/Page drive as advised by Harm with 8000 MB set on virtual memory
and a Video drive
I bought this system together with CS4 for video editing, so it is installed on a clean system.
Should I delete all prerendered stuff from Premiere?
Thanks, Iemke

Problems exporting HD video from Premiere Elements 9 for Vimeo (program crashes or video is blurry)

I have a 10 minute wedding video I am trying to export from Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to upload to vimeo. I followed the directions from this video: Exporting for upload to Vimeo with Adobe Premiere Elements on Vimeo to figure how to accomplish this. The first time I followed the directions, the resulting video file was fuzzy and blurry, not at all like the HD video I could view in the program before export. Since then, I've tried exporting it multiple times with different settings, and each time the program crashes when the video is around 95% complete. How can I rectify this situation? This is a wedding video I made for a paying customer who would like their video on vimeo as soon as possible.
Thanks for your help!
Let me know if you need more details or clarifications.
Laura

Laura
What are the properties of what you are putting on the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline? Are you working with a SD or HD file?
What have you set as the project preset when you started the projec?
1. So, video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio...as
much information as you can supply....sometimes the brand, model, settings of the camera recording the video will give us all the
information that you need to set up the project correctly or to verify that it has been set up correctly.
Case Study....
Let us assume that your video is 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second.
Project Preset in New Project Dialog
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
When you go to take your Timeline content to Vimeo from within the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 feature
Share/Online, you will discover that there is no Vimeo choice in that version.
So, what you are going to do is to export your Timeline to a file (AVCHD.mp4) saved to your computer hard drive and then upload that file
to Vimeo at the Vimeo website.
Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
Have you been there and done that?
Summary...
The answers are in the details....needed
a. properties of source media
b. project preset
c. details of your project's Timeline content
c. export settings used
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 7 - Interlaced problems exporting AVCHD

Hi there,
I have AVCHD material from a Canon HF-100.
Editing and exporting to AVCHD works fine.
Exporting to another format, MPEG-2 DVD or WMV, always shows horizontal interlaced stripes. It's not like it's a wrong field order, just bad quality...
Any tipps?
Thanks!
Alexander

Hi Paul,
thanks for your efforts. But this brings me back to my initial problem:
The only Windows Media Codec, according to Microsoft, actually supporting Interlaced material is "9 Advanced Profile". The others need to deinterlace the material!
If I select "Advanced Profile", the "Allow Interlaced Processing" checkbox disappears.
Hence, the resulting WMV clip has drastic "combing" effects.
The only workaround I currently see is to deinterlace the material and encode WMV progressive - but that will never reach the same quality as keeping it interlaced.
To illustrate, I've uploaded some testclips (approx 129 MB):
http://rapidshare.com/files/199081597/samples.zip.html
MD5: 647299BC3E37747734F7C37AA80D57B6
'_source.m2t' is the source AVCHD file
Three WMV files (all starting with 'Premiere') to illustrate what goes wrong. One uses the original Premiere settings 'HD 1080i 25', one uses that setting, but with a frame width of 1920, one is a test setting I made for 9AP.
In all three Premiere export clips, the people moving through the picture show the mentioned effects. If one knows where to look, it's visible everywhere, but it shows best in moving objects.
One WMV file ('TMPGEnc 4.0 Express Test 3.wmv'), which shows what I would like to accomplish with Premiere directly.
Thanks again for your time,
Alexander

Premiere Elements 12: Export AVCHD video with 5.1 sound.

The source material has 5.1 sound but when try to export into AVCHD MP4/AAc 5.1 file i get the message:
Thanks !

Roesti.TP
You need to give this another look. You can create a PAL AVCHD LITE 720p50 5.1 Channel for the new project dialog choices in Premiere Elements 12 using the principles that I used in my blog for doing this for 1080p. I just did it.
This should be a quick and easy procedure. Let us see what happened in your case.
In your case, the first instruction would be to copy the file name AVCHD LITE 720p50.sqpreset file found in Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path of:
Local Disc C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
Settings
SequencePresets
PAL
AVCHD
and in the AVCHD Folder is the AVCHD LITE 720p50.sqpreset file that you copy (paste to desktop for now).
Follow the rest of the instruction in the blog post.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-exporting-1080p50-or-1080p60-file.html
These following specific Notepad changes are the same whether the Notepad document reflects Premiere Elements 11 1080p or your Premiere Elements 12 720p.
<InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>3</InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>
<InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>3</InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>
Change to:
<InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>3</InitialNumberOfFiveOneTracks>
<InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>0</InitialNumberOfStereoTracks>
And where it says
<AudioChannelType>1</AudioChannelType>
Change to:
<AudioChannelType>2</AudioChannelType>
When the changes are made, are you placing a new file specifically named
AVCHD LITE 720p50 5.1 Channel.sqpreset in the correct Program Files location as per the path described....?
And, you can get a AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) 5.1 channel file from Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with the preset of MP4 HD720p50 with adjusts under the Advanced Button/Audio Tab. I just did.
I will write up the above for inclusion in my blog for 720p and obtaining a 720p 5.1 channel version of the preset.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

HD export doesn't export entire video.

Any help with the following problem would be appreciated:
I am having several problems exporting HD video right now. All of my HD is being filmed on a Panasonic HVX-200. We are usually using 720-30p or 60p either on tape or to our P2 card. It is being captured as DVCPRO-HD at those same frame rates. Everything captures well and can be edited without issues. We are using the most recent updates of OSX and FCP.
Export problems - using a variety of different quicktime export codecs the same problems occur.
1) export stops short of exporting the entire video. (example: only the first 6 minutes 12 secs of a 8:50 video export to quicktime) This happens regardless of the length of the video (sometimes) and regardless of the quicktime export setting - even when downconverting to DV-NTSC. (I have tried all of the DVCPRO HD settings, Apple ProRes settings, Intermediate Codec settings, and HDV settings) I have tried setting in and out points at the beginning and end of the video as well. Nothing seems to help.
2) We are also having a weird "dropped frame" glitch. The same video - when exported seems to be dropping a frame at the junction of many of the clips on the timeline. These don't occur when the video is being played back in the timeline - only after export. This is really annoying and we can't seem to make it go away. I'm wondering if this might be related to our using DVCPRO-HD codecs.
Thanks.

Your issue is that you are exporting in the trial mode of Flip4Mac. Quicktime cannot export WMV without F4M. The free downloadable player has all the features of a paid version, but with limitations, so that you can try it out and see if it meets your needs. you only get 1/2 the duration, up to 30 seconds, for an export in trial mode. I think it's $49 for the Studio Pro version. To upgrade, go to the F4M prefs.

What's the best way of importing, editing, exporting and watching AVCHD videos without losing quality?

Whenever I import AVCHD (.mts extension files) to Final Cut Pro X (via Import from camera), iMovie, Adobe Premiere Elements 10 or Adobe Premiere Pro CS4; when I later export those videos to any format I can imagine, I can't get the same quality than when I play them through the camera connected by HDMI to TV (the camera's movements are not any smooth).
How have you solved this problem? Is it just me?
By the way, maybe the problem is in watching: what apps do you use to play the exported media? Do you watch the final videos just on TV? Do you create blu-ray discs?
I was also wondering what would happen if I created a blu-ray image, have you tried this?
Thanks in advance,
Pol

My video was shot by a Canon HF100 at 1440x1080 25fps 1080i 25i (interlaced) and imported to Final Cut Pro X without transcoding to ProRes (1st time) and transcoding (2nd time).
The project settings are set to: set automatically based on 1st video clip (so they're 1440x1080 1080i 25i) and I used to leave Audio and Render to default settings (Surround, 48kHz, ProRes 422), but I have also done a few tests with ProRes 422 HQ and Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. Should I try with ProRes 4444?
I usually export the project using Current settings (in video codec), and I've also burned an AVCHD DVD (I plybacked it on PlayStation 3 - also looked choppy). I've also exported to H.264 codec.
The video looks choppy on Mac played by Quicktime and VLC. The video I could export to MP4 also looked choppy on PlayStation 3 and Samsung LED TV.
Thanks for taking your time,

Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:
OS:WindowsXPProx64Bit; CPU:IntelCore2Quad Q9650; RAM:4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 Kingston; HDD:3x500GB WestrnDigital Caviar Green; VGA: Sparkle GeForce 9400GT 512MB.
I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWR5MNYHhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
No problems with playback.
Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
2) Is this a transcoding problem?
3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
Please response me hurry!
Many Thanks!
Horsepower.

OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
I know this model very well!
It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
See those details:

The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
(6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:
-CONTAINER:
     isom: MP4 Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003]
-VIDEO:
     CODEC:avc1
     NAME: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
-AUDIO:
      CODEC: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
1c) Is this an AVCHD video codec?

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?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Edited AVCHD video to export in AVCHD codec

I transfer AVCHD material from the Panasonic HDC-SD300 camcorder to Final Cut Express to edit the video. After editing in HD I would like to export the finished HD video (including audio) in AVCHD Codec to a SDHC card. The content of the SDHC card could be transfered with an AVCHD compatible SDHC tool (BD player with SDHC card reader or directly HD TV set with SDHC reader) to a HD TV set.
Any proposal, how to get the edited HD exported in AVCHD codec/format ?

Hello skalicki,
thank you for your answer. May the difficulty is AIC. To transcode AIC to AVCHD is surely not the best way. As long as Apple is using AIC for FCE, it will be certainly not easy to get an AVCHD export option. I understand you have also an AVCHD camcorder. I think it will make sense to get after editing the option to export the video material in AVCHD. You could load the video material to a SDHC card and than you are able to transfer the AVCHD material via a SDHC reader (BD player with card slot or even directly a LCD TV set with card slot from Panasonic) to the HD TV set.
I am still hoping, somebody has a solution..............

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:

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.
