Publish vs. Export?

Is there a major difference in output by publishing a Flash
file versus exporting it? I was having major trouble publishing
some files so decided to export instead. It seems to be fine (and
much smaller files)...but I assume there is a reason to have both -
any big difference or problem in doing this?
Thanks!

It would give identical files .. if the size is different it
would be some
other reason (eg different export options)

Error code = -50 every time I try and publish or export (except Quicktime)

When I try and do any kind of publish or export (other than "Export using Quicktime") it will say "preparing" then will immediately go to a dialog that says:
Unable to prepare the project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code = -50)
I have no idea what next.

if that's already set, don't use test scene.

I can´t publish or export to flash

Hello, I have installed Captivate 6.0.1 in a Mac.
When I finished, I try to publish and a blank square was in the screen in time the publish menu.
I try upgrade Captivate, reinstalled and the problem is continuous.

I found and other problem, when you Can publish (a friend have a PC with
the program), I create a SCORM. This file is mow in a Moodle course. When
you open the SCORM all look well, but if you open and URL and return to the
SCORM, the buttons go away.
You need recalled the page in web navigator to see again.

Flash CS6 hangs when trying to publish or export

Hey,
With a Uni deadline looming I'm hoping someone can help with this. I am trying to Publish or Export a file to .swf format and when I select either Publish or Export Flash just hangs and I get the spinning beach ball of death. I am on an iMac running Mountain Lion and this is brand new installation of CS6 (this week).
If you need any more information from me to solve this issue please let me know.

Error code -2009--unable to publish or export movie

I have been using iMovie 09 for a while now without any problems. The footage I am editing and exporting into various types of files (avi, mp4, mov) have all worked fine but suddenly it stopped working and I am receiving this error code -2009. I have been trying to loook it up but can't find any answers that seem to help. The footage I am editing is from a digital still camera and is 640x480 VGA Video. The lower quality video seems to publish or export just fine (320x240) but the higher quality just stopped yesterday. Anyone have an idea what is causing this? I have about 40gb on each of my internal and external hard drives and, like I said, everything worked fine with both types of footage just a couple days ago. I have tried making new projects and re-importing the files but nothing seems to work. Tried restarting the computer. Searched for updates. All without luck. Anyway, I appreciate any advice.

Hi
The footage I am editing and exporting into various types of files (avi, mp4, mov)
Using strange file formats use to be a problem
eg .avi - is not a specific item - but a container that can hold material iMovie can use
and sometime (often) material coded in a way iMovie can't use.
Else - my old list on what to try
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

Publish settings Export frame set to 2 kills flvPlayback

To let my tiny preloader show up before its at 75% I changed
the export frame for classes to 2 in the publish settings. This
works for the preloader but now the flvPlayback doesnt work.
(except it does still work if I hit control enter a second time and
watch my preloder work.Bizzare!) The .flw file still wont playback
the .flv's when run on its own. Changing the export frame back to
"1" and all is fine except the preloader is a no show till it's at
75% or so.
Dosent seem to be any way to change properties for the
playback component itself.
help please. The last thread I saw on this subject had no
resolution and was from 2005.
ff

wow, you waited a whole of 10 minutes to complain you're not
getting help?
You might want to rethink that strategy, or you'll likely not
get any help
at all.
Things export in the frame their in, unless you specify
otherwise.
A more proper way to make a preloader is to use a separate
movie, and load
the content into an empty movie clip. Then you can use
MovieClipLoader, and
accurately monitor and display the dl.

Using Premier Elements - no sound in video after "Share & Publish" and exporting to my computer

I'm using Premiere Elements 13 on a PC (bought the disc and it's installed and registered.) I created a music video using many video clips and 3 different audio tracks. All audio was unlinked from the video. Some of the audio is from video AVIMovie and some is MP3 format. It plays just fine while I am editing it and after I save and then open to continue editing. I used the Publish and Share to export it to my computer. After it finished I tried playing it - in Windows Media Player - and there is no audio. What am I doing wrong?

I assume you already did this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … #GStreamer

I have enough space on the hard disk...is there a way to fix it?

I forgot to say that I tried to reboot my mac book Pro with no sucess...

Can not publish or export CS4, Vista

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help. I am using a new computer with Vista. I'm using Flash CS4. My flash document is huge and has an imported video in it. So the file size is 675 MB. (I'm guessing this is the problem). Anyway, I have moved the flash document from the server to my computer. I also saved it as a CS4 version - it was created in MX. I can not publish it or export it. I need it to be a swf file, html, or .mov. I was able to do it once as a swf file, but I needed to make changes to it and now I can't get it to export again. The progress bar shows up like it's publishing, but when it's halfway done, the window disappears and nothing has happened.
It's enough to drive you insane. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Well, I converted it into an flv after I read about it in the help. But the quality was horrible. It made the video into a smaller file, but it made it grainy and pixilated. I think the original format of my video was the problem, however. Because I was reading in the CS4 help docs and it said the only format you can import is flv. I originally imported the wmv into Flash MX and then opened that file in Flash CS4. So I bet when I went to export from CS4 it would process until it got to the wmv and then just stop. Would be nice if there as an error message. Still doesn't explain why I was able to export it from CS4 once though! Oh and the help also says that you should only embed a short - 10 second etc - video directly into the timeline in Flash. oops! Mine was 12 minutes, ha.
Anyway, thanks for the idea about just using Windows Movie Maker. I didn't know you could add titles to scenes until you mentioned it and then I read about it in WMM. I had to trick the program a little to get my titles to be on the top of the scene instead of the middle, but it will work for next time.
Thanks!

Can i Export as a catalog when building a Publishing or exporting plug in?

I want to build a plugin for exporting collection or a group of collection as a catalog, but I dont find any documentation on the SDK about that option. Is it Possible to export as a catalog using this type of plugins or we are limited to export individuals photos.
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you post your question again in the main forum. There are a few members over there, who write their own plug-in's who may be able to point you in the right direction.

My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
*For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

Different Export / Publish Dialog for combined Export/Publish Service Provider

Hi,
I'm writing a Export/Publish Service Provider that supports Publish and Export (supportsIncrementalPublish= true). So, there is only on sectionsForBottomOfDialog() which is used for both Export and Publish. This is nice since most of the setting options should obviously be identical for Export and Publish. A few settings though are only required by the Publish Provider. To keep the Export dialog as simple as possible I would like to hide the Publish specific settings when called via "Export".
Is there a way to identify whether the dialog was opened via "Publish" or "Export" so that I could hide some of the elements in the first case?
Martin

Excellent! Totally right! Here's what I found on p.70:
LR_isExportForPublish Boolean, read-only.
True when the current export operation is part of a publish service, either currently running or being edited in the Publishing Manager.
RTFM!!
Exactly, what I was looking for!
Thanks for opening my eyes...

Changing Export Location when using Publish Services to Hard Drive?

Hi,
I am aware that typically when using publish services it is not possible to change the export location once it has been set. This has put me in a very precarious situation; let me explain.
I work for a distribution company that sells 15+ product lines. For almost every product, they have a photograph. I was asked to set up a system whereby a number of sales representatives could access these photographs in an organized fashion from their own computers. This is how I have set things up: A media computer (backed up onto an external hard drive) has all the raw files. In lightroom I have set up two publish services to hard drive. The export location for these two publish services was an external drive that was accessible throughout the company network. Unfortunately, while I was gone, the external drive was changed over to a cloud-based system. As such, the export location for my publish services no longer exists.
Of course, I could go and re-create the publish services, but unfortunately that would be an incredibly laborious process because each publish service has 10 or so sets with 2-4 levels of folders amounting to several hundred folders that would need to be re-created. Moreover, because of the complexity of the system, I made them all smart-folders with specified attributes, etc. So re-creating all these folders would take a whole lot of time and could literally drive a guy crazy (I would know, I set the thing up and it did almost drive me crazy!)
So, I was wondering if there is any lightroom wiz out there who knows a work-around for my issue.
Now, I did do some digging already and I came across this article: http://blog.27shutterclicks.com/2012/03/how-to-change-the-publish-service-export-location- in-lightroom-3-4/ which outlines a method for changing the export location! However, as far as I can tell, I would still have to change the export location of each folder manually, which would basically be just as complex and confusing as recreating the publish service anyways. Am I correct in this thinking, or using this method is there a "root" folder than I can change, which will change every other folder?
Hopefully I have outlined this clearly enough. I will really appreciate any response! Thanks and have a good day.

Yes, it is not possible to change the export location for a Publish service.
But it is possible to set up another Publish Service with a different location.
Under <Publish Services> right-click the header bar where it says "Hard Drive: .... " and select <Create Another Publish Service via Hard Drive>.
See screen shot:
In the editor that comes up select the "cloud" as location.

Best Export / Publish Format for iDVD?

It appears that iMovie 08 has several ways to publish/share/export a Project. From the Share menu, the options include everything from specific applications such as iTunes, to a range of devices & web-based viewing through the Media Browser (which seems to be the same as Export Movie), as well as to a specific format such QuickTime. What format is best if my sole purpose in iLife (ha!) is to import the iMovie 08 Project into iDVD 08?

If you want to be able to view your movies on your computer, or on your iPhone, or on your Apple TV, I would share to iTunes, which will also be visible in the Media Browser.
If you don't care about all that, just share to the Media Browser.
If you have High Definition footage, share in Large format. If you have standard def footage, you might want to experiment between Large and Medium to see which gives you better results. (Large will give you a higher bitrate, but it might have to add pixels that are not there in the original footage.)
