Procedure to edit .mov file in iM09 and burn to iDVD for best quality

Just started using iM 09 and have done a lot of reading resulting in a lot of confusion on my part so.....
1. I've already gotten SD tapes transfered to .mov files. What procedure would I use in order to edit them in iM 09 and then burn them with iDVD to get the highest quality possible given what I'm working with.
2. I've already downloaded MPEGstreamclip but am unsure what format to convert the .mov files into for editing in iM 09 so that I can then burn them w/ iDVD.
3. Is there a file format I can use during editing that will export to iDVD w/out loosing the secondary line due to field dropping?
4. What are some examples of progressive file formats which might work in iM 09 to deal w/ item #3 above?
Thanks for your patience.

I mostly work with HDV imported at full quality, so I don't face the so-called dropped fields issue while exporting to DVD. However, while working with SD MPEG2 files, I found that using QT Pro to convert the source files to progressive, before importing them into iM09 helped maintain good quality both for editing, as well as the export.

Help: Working with .MOV files in FCP and forced to RENDER FOR EVERY EDIT

I'm working with .MOV files from my digital camera in Final Cut Pro and every time I make a new edit, I have to render it in order to see it in the canvas.
How do I make it so that I don't have to render every edit in order to see it?
(I've worked with files straight from a DV camera, and editing went fine. I'm assuming it has to do with the .MOV files)

DV Cameras are not the same thing as a Digital camera. Digital cameras offer video on a limited basis and it's usually highly compressed in a non-editing format such as MPEG-2 or similar. NLEs are made to work with video cameras, not still cameras which is why you're having trouble.
That's not to say you can't edit video captured with a digital camera, but you need to know how to prep it for editing. Some digital cameras shoot at odd frame rates and they all use some form of compression that is not typically used in editing. This means that you'll likely need to convert your clips to an editable format first using Compressor.

Importing and Editing .MOV Files

Hello,
I would like to know if After Effects can edit .MOV files or should these type files be converted to another format? I imported a .mov file to After Effects and although I can view the movie in the composition window. I don't see any other information that would allow me to edit the video. No layer info.
Can someone fill me in on why this is happining?
Thank You
Tontyp

Hi,
Thank you all for your advice and help. I only wanted to change some text in a video template that was created with the Adobe After Effects program. As you said it is proving to be more trouble than it is worth. I will go back to the drawing board so to speak and start from the begining Mean while I will just create a new video with another software. I do thank you very much for your input as it may have saved me hours of wasted time.
Thanks Again,

How do i edit move file in pre elements

I shot in a canon 60d the footage is not supported in pre elements ,how do i edit move file in pre elements

issac
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
When you write "move" file, do you mean "movie" file?
Do you have QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements? If not, please do so.
Generalizing because you did not give all the details, I would say that the Canon 60D AVCHD.mov file should be supported by
Premiere Elements as long as you have QuickTime installed on the same computer with Premiere Elements.
Please review and consider and supply more details.
We will be watching for the details.
Thank you.

Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, MOV can hold all sorts of "stuff." See this article for some more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
Can you let us know what is inside that MOV "wrapper?"
Thanks, and good luck,

Premiere Elements 2.0 how can I edit MOV. files from my camcorder

I have Elements 2.0 and I can't get it to work with the mov. files from my canon digital camcorder. The picture does not even come in and then I tried to convert the mov. file to mpeg2 and that worked ok but when I moved it to the elements editing software the video played perfect but the sound would not come in at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, MOV is but a "wrapper," and can contain all sorts of "stuff," mostly different CODEC's. This ARTICLE will give you background on what can be inside those "wrappers," plus tell you how to "peek" inside of them.
For most MOV files, I use Apple's QuickTime Pro (US$29 upgrade/unlock), and choose DV-AVI w/ the DV/DVCPRO CODEC (compression) and 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV for the Audio.
About the only MOV format/CODEC, that I do not have issues with is the Animation CODEC. I use those in PrPro to edit natively, when an artist, or client provides me material from a Mac. I just specify the Animation CODEC, and things work fine. Other MOV CODEC's - well, not so well.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

Hello
For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
Post your current VI if possible.

I trimmed a .mov file within Iphoto11 and now I can't copy & paste to my desktop

Hi
I imported a .mov file from my digital camera to my Iphoto11 Library.
I wanted to email someone the video clip but wanted to TRIM it to remove an unwanted section of the .mov
So I used the functionality within Iphoto to Trim the .mov
I then right clicked on the .mov selected COPY
I then went to my desktop and selected Paste.
Instead of pasting the 50MB video, it pasted an 80kb .mov file.
The files opens using Quicktime but is blank.
The .mov file still plays fine in Iphoto11.
I have tried searching for the .mov filename but can't find it on my MAC.
Other ,mov files can be copied and pasted with no issue.
I have opened up Iphoto using the special key stroke and selected all the options. this has not worked.
Anyone got any ideas?

thanks Terence,
So I went into Iphoto, selected the Trimmed Movie and selected. PHOTOS, revert to Original.
Now I can COPY and PASTE the MOVIE from Iphoto to a normal Folder.
I then opened the original .mov file in Quicktime and trim the movie. I then go to close and save
"The Operation could not be completed, an unknown error occured"

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Final Cut Express movie or iDVD - need best quality

I have tried various settings, rendering, and burning, and I am not satisfied with the quality of the iDVD burning of the FCE movie. I used an HD camcorder - looks awesome straight from camera to HD tv via hdmi plug. Movie loaded into computer via FCE and still looks good on browser and canvas. When I use File, Export, Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion, to save the movie, the quality does not seem as good. Then in iDVD it doesn't get any better. What are the best settings on FCE and iDVD to make the best quality movie.

Zak- from all that I've read, QT Movie is better than QT Conversion for quality - Correct?
The FCE program supports the HD quality. When moving to iDVD, it seems Best Performance is the best quality. Are there any specific settings I need to do in iDVD, as there aren't many to choose from. I have a 3 1/2 hour movie set up in FCE with transitions, double video, editing, etc. I have split the movie so I can produce on 2 separate dvd's for best quality and I am using the 7.7 double layer dvd's to burn on. I have also put in photos, iphoto, that look perfect on the canvas of FCE in the movie, but when on idvd , even before i burn the dvd, the pictures lose quality have are a bit fuzzy.

What format to import AVCHD for best quality and how to export?

Hi
My boss has got himself a panasonic HDC camcorder of some sort that is formatting the video in AVCHD.
Basically he was using adobe premiere pro from around 2003 on an pc running xp and loved it. My I.T. director persuaded him to buy an iMac and Final Cut Pro 7. As we stand now he states he hates macs because he can't figure out how to get his home movies off his camcorder and onto a dvd without them looking blurry and fuzzy.
Can anyone advise what format we should be importing the AVCHD files into final cut pro for best video quality and how we should be exporting the final movie for best quality to go onto dvd?
I will also note that he is using toast 10 titanium to burn his movies to dvd.
Also he is not looking to burn to blu-ray as none of his familiy have blu-ray players. He just wants his HD footage off camera and onto a dvd with the best quality picture he can get. Also his movies are approx 2 hours long and he has just ordered some Dual Layer DVDs
Thanks
Kieran

I take it you mean Pro Res 422 from the AVCHD plugin options? And not going for any of the other 422's with bits in brackets?
Sorry for being dumb in this area but my boss and i are both pretty new to FCP
How do i ensure i edit in a pro res sequence?
Export straight to quicktime no quicktime compression or anything?
Thanks for your help
Kieran

Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Chris

The problem:

(Scroll down about two thirds to "What's the difference between locked and unlocked audio?" )
The solution:
Always use 16-bit/48kHz audio.
