Problems exporting to MPEG 2- "footage needs to be rendered"

Hello...I am having an issue when I try to export my project as an MPEG-2 for DVD SP. The footage appears to be already rendered, but when I go to export, I get a message that says "Not Rendered: This movie mus bve rendered before it can be encoded."
So I go to Render again and there is seemingly nothing to render. There is no red on the timeline. But when I go to export, I get the same message. Can anyone help me out with this?

Red is not the only color that shows items needing to render in the timeline.
Have you selected...Sequence/Render Both...with all color coded items selected? I always also do an Audio Mixdown before exporting.

  • Problem exporting Go Pro video, footage zoomed in

    Hey ya'll.
       I've done a lot of searching over the net to look at how to fix this problem and I've had no luck. I've made a montage video using a Go Pro Hero and when I go to export it the image is cropped/zoomed in. It looks perfect in the preview window though. I'm pretty inexperienced with Premiere; all I really know is that the sequence is in widescreen. I would really appreciate some help, if you need to know more project details just ask me/tell me how to find them out and I can do that.
    Thanks!

    Once you've created a sequence you can't change the settings.
    The simplest way to make a sequence that matches a source clip is to drag the clip to the New Item icon at the bottom of the project window - it'll make a new sequence that matches the clip, and automatically add it, though you can of course remove the clip again to leave you with an empty sequence.

I've been searching the net though and I'm struggling to figure out how to match my sequence dimension settings with the source footage dimension settings. If these don't match and I've already created the sequence, is it to late to fix things or do I have to start over? If it is too late, would somebody please explain how to set up a sequence with with matching sequence/source footage dimension settings? How do I figure out my source settings?

  • Problem exporting to mpeg-2 DVD format from Premiere Pro CSF

    I just purchased Premiere Pro CS5 and have been going through the video tutorials on Lynda.com.  I have created a short video sequence and am trying to export it to mpeg-2 DVD format using the default "MainConcept MPEG Video" codec.  After the video is exported to my hard drive and imported into Encore, I see all of these green lines and green shading in the video I just created in Premiere that wasn't there when I rendered my sequence in Premiere prior to export.  Does anyone know why these green lines and shading are added to the video?  I figure I must be using the wrong export settings in Premiere Pro. 
    I've also tried to export this video segment to Quicktime .mov format using the default DV25 NTSC codec, but when I do this the final exported video has audio only and the video is black (I made sure there was a check in the Export Video check box). 
    I have a Macbook with 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and Max OS X version 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) with all appropriate updates.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to address this issue or where I can read up on appropriate combinations of video formats and codecs?

    Hi, thanks for the answer.  Yes, I just tried importing the Premiere project directly into Encore using the dynamic link function and it worked just fine.  Once I made some changes to the to the Premiere project; however, the green lines appeared when i would preview the project in Encore.  Based on your feedback, I won't worry about the extra green lines though and will attempt to build another DVD.  Like you said, I think the key is to import the Premiere project into Encore using the dynamic linking.

  • Older video footage needs to be rendered before viewing

    I've imported some old SD footage I shot years ago into a new project (NTSC 48khz).
    When playing back the footage in the viewer the video stops and starts inconsistently. When I drag the clip into the timeline, I get the red render bar. There aren't any effects or transitions in the timeline, just a straight-up video clip. Why would I need to render this? And is there a way to make it so I don't have to render each clip to see them in the viewer?
    thanks

    Thanks to Tom Wolsky, this problem has been solved.
    The original footage was captured by iMovie (back in 03, so an old version of iMovie). Apparently it captured both video and audio together not in separate tracks, so FCE had to render the footage into separate tracks in order to show the video/audio correctly.
    I used QuickTime pro to convert the files into an appropriate format. If anyone's interested, I found a great Automator script for doing batch processing of movies: http://automatoractions.com/files/compressquicktimeusingmostrecentsettings1.0.ht ml

  • All media I drop to timeline needs to be rendered, what's wrong?

    So here is as much detail as I can give about my problem.
    I have a new Mac Book Pro. I just installed Final Cut Studio 2.
    I am editing mp3 sound files and .MPEG video files that I modified from .MOD files.
    No matter what media I drop into my timeline or how i drop it the footage needs to be rendered (so say's the red line). Funny part is I can play through the clips but they drop frames.
    All other times I have used FCP I only needed to render effects.
    I have changed RT playback to dynamic and have the files stored on my hard drive camera which recorded the video. I have also tried storing files on the hard drive and a USB with same results.
    Is this a memory issue?
    All advice is welcome.

    FCP doesn't work with MPEG video files nor MP3s. You need to convert the MPEGs to a format the FCP works with, like DV/NTSC...and the audio to AIFF 16/bit stereo files. You can use Compressor for both of these types.

  • Why do ALL of my clips need to be rendered??

    Hi.
    I just captured a mess o' clips and when I drag them to the timeline I get the dreaded red line up top. Why? Why does all of my footage need to be rendered? I haven't added any effects at all.
    FCP 5.1
    MBP 2.16
    OS X.4.6
    Thanks for any advice that you may have for me.
    Tom

    Because your sequence and clip settings don't match. Often, this results from changing the Easy Setup AFTER creating a new project. The new project creates a new sequence, which is then in the old preset.
    After selecting the desired Easy Setup, create a new sequence and edit your clips into that sequence, and you should be Good to Go.

  • 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?

    You're right I tried a few different exports with varying file sizes. My thinking was it was better to have a lower file size going into the DVD. Of course you are the expert so I value your input. It's just that I have two of these files I need to send out to DVD and for both seminars there going to be under 50 GB that seems like a lot of space to take up on my storage. My assumption was that was way too big of a file and I should have a smaller file size to be able to go into the DVD any further info or articles would be appreciated. Thanks Tim
    Is there any readings on best export settings for certain type projects? It seems pretty cut and dry I just assumed I would get smaller file sizes during the export.. Just trying to understand it all.

  • What is the advantage of exporting mpeg-dvd vs mpeg for dvd if mpeg does not need to transcode audio

    What is the advantage of exporting mpeg-dvd vs mpeg for dvd if mpeg does not need to transcode audio and also burns to dvd?

    The MPEG2-DVD preset also produces a DVD spec-legal file.  If you use the generic MPEG2 preset, you can too easily create an out-of-spec file that will have to be re-transcoded by En.

  • MPEG STREAMCLIP:  I need Exact export settings please...

    Does anyone have the correct settings for exporting Via MPEG STREAMCLIP. I know that there is a H.264 and MPEG-4 option in the codecs. I DO NOT want to use the 640x480 iPod settings since there is resolution loss from the DVD's.
    So what setting and bit rates would I have to use to crate a video file that is playable in AppleTV without having to go through QT Pro. I know I can encode a 720P file (and I will do that so I don't lose resolution), but is there anything in between the two taht Apple TV will play at 24P. Threre is a 950x540 but is says at 30 FPS.

    How do you determine the proper crop values? I'm used to using MediaFork, which crops for you.There are basically two strategies:
    1) Ensure that the file is displayed at it's proper aspect ration and then crop out what you don't want. That which remains you keep and convert to your target format.
    2) Decide what the target aspect ratio is supposed to be and then crop/scale the file so it will meet those requiements.
    In addition, there are differing strategies in determining encode/decode efficiency as a trade off for the accuracy of your aspect ratio. MPEG Streamclip, for instance, sacrifices encode/decode efficiency for exactitude in aspect ratio while MediaFork/HandBrake is just the opposite. Ex. Streamclip will allow you to create a 720 x 405 (16:9 or 1.78:1 aspect) while MediaFork or HandBrake would default to 720 x 400 (1.80:1 aspect ration). Since 720 and 400 are both evenly divisible by 16 but 405 is not, the MeadiaFork/Handbrake application would likely conver slightly faster than streamclip with all oter factors being the same. But, the Streamclip file would have the more accurate aspect ratio for scaling by TV or your HDTV.
    As to actually entering the settings, you must first decide which strategy combination you plan to use. If the movies containg scenes which are display smaller than other scenes, scrub the play head to that location and set "in' and "out" points for tests. At this point you mst decide which strategy combination you plan to use before proceeding any further.
    a) In the first case, simply tick the Streamclip "Crop" option and enter estimated valus. Now press the preview button and preview the output. If not satisfied, abort the preview and modify your entries. Repeat these steps until you are satisfiled. Do this for each movie as it is common for each to be centered differently or be of a slightly differeing size.
    b) In the second case, you must now determine your target dimensions. For instance, lets say you have a movie which is specified to have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and plan to export it at a width of 854 pixels. In this case, Streamclip has probably defaulted to an 854 x 480 (16:9) screen setting in your work area. However, your movie displays with a black "letterbox" top and bottom. To calculate a proper height for you movie at this width, simply devide 854 by 2.35 and you should get an answer between 363 and 364. If you plan to go for a "most accurate" aspect rato, then simply select the "Custom" display option and enter a width of 854 and a height of either 363 or 364. Now tick both the "Crop" and "Scale" Streamclip option and process as described above. Simply enter your crop values and previed the result. In this case however, ther cropped picture will always be rescaled back to the "Custom" display size you specified for your output.
    While values will be different depending on which workflow you elect to use in paragraphs "a" or "b", the final displays should by approximately the same. In the first instance, the final output will be determined by the total amount of "overscan" included in the original content over and above the aspect ratio while in the second instance, the overscan will be scaled to fit within the aspect ratio you specified. This may sound confusing at first, but the principals and procedures are quite simple in practice once you get used to applying them.

  • Problems exporting mpeg 2 videos using Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder

  • Quicktime 7 does not export to mpeg-2

    Hi,
    Is this inherent to QT 7? I noticed it as a deficiency in Final Cut Pro 3.0.2, tracked it back to this version of QT. The export choices are the same although with different wording. Did not have this problem after a total hard disk crash which needed everything re-installed. FCP presumably with the QT version on disk. Updates on both FCP and QT 7 did not resolve this. FCP and QT 6 work fine in OS9; both have the mpeg-2 export option.
    How can I get QT 7 in OS X to perform this export to mpeg-2 function?
    Thanks, regards,
    Reinhart

    Hi Kirk,
    Next related question : can we get around mpeg-2? It was needed for compressing from Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 and importing to DVD Studio Pro 1.5, no other compression is accepted. Are there updates for DVD Studio, e.g. for using mpeg-4, H.264 etc? By eliminating the mpeg-2 compression from Quicktime Apple have effectively rendered the use of FCP (3.0.2) and DVD Studio Pro 1.5 (in Tiger) useless; 1000$ for nothing. I can use these programs in OS 9 but not everybody has that option. You mentioned Toast as an alternative for mpeg-2. Which version? I have 6.11, had bad experience with version 7. Any advice?
    Thanks, regards,
    Reinhart

  • Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

    Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2.  I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
    The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
    Possible issues:
    1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
    2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen)  (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
    2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
    I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2.  I just installed my new motherboard to replace it.  Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell).  However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5.  I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME.  I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

    I experienced this at one point.  Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime.  (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.)  However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem.  Search this board using quicktime as a search phase.  The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions.  I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

  • 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.
    Eric
    Power MAC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    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.

  • Exporting from .mpeg to .mov file loses sound

    Okays so I know that there are numerous forum discussions out there on this topic but none helped me figure out my problem so I decided to create my own.
    I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat. To get my mpeg file I:
    1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
    2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg.
    All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
    Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
    DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
    This worked succussfully as well with the M2V file playing normally in quicktime with sound. I then tried to export the M2V file to a .mov file and got the same outcome...video but no sound.
    Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong? Also I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?
    Thank you.

    1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
    If the source DVD is not encrypted, then the VIDEO_TS folder or desired non-zero title VOB series can be copied directly to your hard drive without the use of MTR.
    2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg... I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat.
    If you goal is to create a small, web compatible file, you should convert to your final target compression format while in MPEG Streamclip. Most Apple applications use the H.264/AAC compression format for posting to web sites since it generally produces the smallest file for a given level of quality. For instance, selecting the "Export to MPEG-4..." option in MPEG Streamclip, pressing the "iTunes" button, and then selecting an appropriate size/aspect combination will automatically load user settings to create your final file. The 640x480 or 640x360 iTunes option will produce a file similar to the iTunes option in QT Pro (or iTunes) but will also retain your audio.
    All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
    QT Pro does not fully support multiplexed MPEG compression formats. An MPEG (MPEG2/MP2) compression format will play in the QT player with the QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed but cannot be edited or converted and retain the audio. To retain the audio, you must use a third-party, MPEG-based conversion application like MPEG Streamclip.
    Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
    DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
    This work flow creates two elementary stream files. Both the M2V (with MPEG-2 component installed) and the AIFF file are QT Pro compatible. However, they must always be stored together on your hard drive. Since the M2V video file "resources" the AIFF audio in a separate file, if the files are separated, this reference will be orphaned and, as you have seen, you again end up losing your audio.
    I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?... Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong?
    Already covered. (See above.)
    If I export to any format (QuickTime movie, AVI, Windows Media, MPEG-4), all of the audio options are greyed out. Some say explicitly that there is no audio in the source movie. If I go ahead, I get a file with no audio.
    The "Save" and "Save As..." options do not convert the compression format. They merely take the data (which you already said plays correctly) and places it in an MOV file container where it continues to play correctly. On the other hand, when you attempt to convert the file to other compression formats (i.e., change the data within the container), then you lose the audio. As indicated above, multiplexed formats like MPEG-2 video with MPEG-1 layer 2 audio are playback only compatible with the QT structure. If you wish to convert the data to a different format and retain the audio, use a third-party, MPEG-based application.
    QuickTime is obviously able to decode the .m1a audio since it can play it. Why does it seem to not be aware the audio is there if I try to export it?
    Because QT is based on a multi-track engine that synchronizes audio and video frames with reference to external clocking. On the other hand, multiplexed content divides the audio and video into interspersed blocks of data synchronized spatially within a single data stream. QT could theoretically create two separate streams of data but has no way of synchronizing any single frame of audio with its video frame counterpart. The MPEG Streamclip engine can do this but requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component to then bridge the gap between spatial and temporal based playback engines. Without this temporal relationship the QT player would probably return the infamous "Not a movie" message.
