QT Useful Basic Export Settings?

OK, I know I'm fairly new to all this mullarky so apologies for the blindingly obvious post but what I could really do with right now (apart from another beer) is some BASIC settings for exporting a PAL timetine to a self-contained PAL movie. Actually i don't quite know whether that's the correct name but at the moment I've a shed load of clips all in the right order on the timeline and i'd like to have just one IDENTICAL FORMAT file available. Is there a basic set of settings I can apply when "exporting using quicktime conversion" which will give me the same resolution and size - there's just too many options at the mo and my brain hurts!! (also I've run out of beer...) R.L. xx

there must be another beer somewhere ... have you tried behind the sofa or any other of those places that people hide their beer at a party?
on the fcp export front, use File > Export > Quicktime Movie... (not Conversion)
in trhe QT Movie export window, give it a name and point it somewhere on your disc ... keep the settings as "Current Settings"
now, if you want a standalone file that you can give to someone else and/or use after all the original media files have been deleted, then you must also check the box labelled "Make movie self-contained" (but don't recompress all frames)
if you don't check that box then it will only create a "reference" movie, which will look and feel just like a normal one, but actually is just pointers to the original media (so if you then delete the original files it won't work anymore)
hope it helps

IMovie to Quicktime using expert export settings - help with size settings

I want to produce PAL DVDs in widescreen format using iDVD. The original video was recorded in standard size and I want to use iMovie HD to produce Quicktime movies for these DVDs.
I am using the expert settings to export to Quicktime files. I am using H.264 compression.
It is the size settings that I need your advice.
Which do I use? PAL 720x576 4:3, or PAL 720x576 16:9, or one of the HD settings?
Do I preserve aspect ratio?
I have looked through many posts, etc but none readily answers my issue with size settings.

Yes - footage is in 4:3
I want to show the DVDs on widescreen TVs but not sure if TVs automatically adjust 4:3
movies into widescreen ratio (say with letterboxing).
For my standard footage video,I guess I am not sure of what ratios I should be using at the iMovie export to QuickTime stage, and then whether to set the iDVD project into 16:9 format, or leave it in 4:3 format and hope to widescreen TV do the converting.

Advice on export settings (codecs, sizes, etc.)

I have a 1-minute iMovie, non-HD, 720x480. It was shot with a basic camcorder.
I exported it using the Share > QuickTime > Web preset, and it came out as a 1MB movie, 320x240, and is REALLY grainy and kind of hard to watch.
So I tried to experiment with expert settings, but every expert setting I try multiplies the final file size (typically at least to 20MB or more).
What I'm looking for is "one step up" from the Web preset -- something that's 2-4MB in size, and looks better than my 1MB exported version.
I don't see many details on what the "Web" preset is, except that it's 12fps (I think that's fine -- this isn't sports), and 320x240. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations on other codecs/settings that would produce a better result but at an economical size just slightly larger than the Web preset?
(I'd love it to be larger than 320x240 but when I step up to 640x or 720x I get into 30MB movies...)

Even at 320x240 resolution, the MPEG-4 looks great whereas the H.264 was too blocky and grainy.
That may be due to other factors, not just whether the movie uses the Apple MPEG4 codec or the H.264 code. H.264 is able to deliver beautiful movies, as evidenced by Apple's movie trailers. (Don't expect to achieve that quality without using high-end, high-price software.)
To compare features of two movies you can open both in QuickTime Player, then choose Window > Show Movie Info. Click in the two movie windows in turn to compare their features.
The Movie Info window lets you look at important variables like the Frames Per Second, Data Size and Data Rate of the two movies. These were set by the iMovie export pre-sets used to create the movie.
If the movies aren't exactly what you want, you can use iMovie's Expert Settings export option to configure your own exports using "improved" export settings. You can increase the data rate, for example, to get better quality image. Or lower the window size to improve quality with the same data rate.
The H.264 is a particularly useful codec, delivering great-looking video at very low data rates. How low you can go will depend, in part, on the content of the video. It's often a matter of trial and error.
One strategy is to export with H.264 using a very high data rate so you see what the codec can deliver, then try other exports with lower data rates until the quality is no longer acceptable. When the movie file size achieves your goal, you're done.
Apple's new "Apple TV" export pre-set does a great job using H.264. It doesn't let you control things like the window size, however, at least not from iMovie.
But if you have QuickTime Pro, note that the Apple TV export pre-set automatically exports at the current size of your movie window. So if you want a small-window export, set the movie window to that size before exporting.

JPG - Export Settings to XMP?

When editing JPGs in ACR the adjustments are embedded and can be viewed in the EXIF Header (lines beginning with "crs"). But is there a way to export an XMP file from the JPG?
I see in the ACR option to "Export Settings to XMP" when opening a JPG, yet I cannot see where a file (if any) has been saved.
Does "Export Settings to XMP" create an xmp file somewhere when using ACR "Export Settings to XMP" with a JPG?
Thanks,
Russell

I just came across a workaround by searching this forum:
I can save a JPG as a DNG and then lock it. ACR adjustments are then saved as an XMP. That would work for my needs.
But my 1st question remains as to whether it can be done with a JPG. Locking a JPG does not work, an EXP file is not created and ACR refuses to save any edits on a Locked JPG.

BEST EXPORT SETTINGS FOR 7d FOOTAGE?

Hi I set up a dslr 1080 25 frames per sec sequence and dragged in my h.264 movs to edit, I exported at h.264 hdtv 1080 high quality and it came out slightly pixelated. I also tried exporting with sequence settings and same result- slightly pixelated and not as good as the original movs. It only rendered out as an mp4 or mpeg using these export settings, is that right? what are the best settings to export to so i don't loose any quality? please help

Hi Well I just need full resolution video to pass on to my client and then i imagine they will grade it. Here are a few images taken from my project?

What are the best export settings to use...

Operating system: Vista SP1
Camera: Canon HF100 (1900x1080 HD quality 29.97fps) -- uses AVCHD compression which is H.264 I believe.
I'm able to watch my camera video files in Vista nicely. However, I'm having trouble with the watching the results of my edited and exported videos. Assuming I want the same quality and playability as the source video, what settings should I use in the export?
In the export settings window... I select:
Format: H.264
Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
Source files have the extension: .m2ts
...I don't change the other values. Then I export. Now the result is an .mp4 file which does not play in Windows Media Player. It does play in Quicktime or iTunes however it plays jerkily... I would like to be able to play it as smoothly as the original source plays... And I'd like to be able to play it in windows media player just as the source can be played in media player. Media player seems to play the source more smoothly than does iTunes or Quicktime.
So what are the best export settings for me so that I can watch my edited HD video on my computer as easily as the source footage???
I've been able to edit and save the results of the edit using the crappy ImageMixer3 video editor that comes with the camera. The results are perfect and play in windows media fine. The files it exports the edited video as is the same as the soure... the file extension is .m2ts
So the problem is how to get Adobe to export the edited video to an .m2ts file or at least to a file type that plays as nicely in my system?

See
Exporting to iPods, cell phones, PSPs and other mobile devices in the PPro Help for details.

What project settings and export settings to use ?

So, after some trial and error i give up and need some huge help. (7.0 Pro)
I have recorded some footage through a game running at 1920:1200 resolution. So the question is what project settings should i choose under project, look at the picture below for example. Some times i get a large black area around the finished video, while one time it came out as a 4:3 vid....
http://bildr.no/view/468733
Further more, when i am done editing i want to export it uncompressed to the disk in the same format 1920:1200 (which is 16:10). Which settings should i then choose?
http://bildr.no/view/468734
Thx for any help you might be able to provide. Btw! Basically, what i want is just plain editing, no cropping of edges, resizing etc, i just want to take the raw video, edit it, and make a new file out of it with the same properties as the raw vid (source).

Your pixel aspect ratio and field order are wrong. You want PAR set to "square pixels" and field order set to "Progressive (None)". Do the same for your export settings.

What export settings do I use to creat a .mov from a .MTS file?

Hello!
I have a .MTS file that needs to be exported to a .mov file for online submission guidelines. The picture quality is bad when there is movement. I inserted screen shots of the codecs for the native .MTS files and the export settings I used for a .mov files. I played around with the settings a lot. Thank you so much to anyone who helps, I really appreciate it :¬)

I will drink to that...

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.
Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device?
Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

File Export use last usage settings of File Export Wizard

how convert a color photo to grayscale? cs6 fireworks / adobe cloud,... File > Export use last usage settings of File > Export Wizard???

There are a lot of different ways to create greyscale images. Here are three methods:
Select the bitmap and choose Commands > Creative > Convert to Grayscale.
This is a quick but destructive method, meaning that it modifies your original image. To preserve your original image, you could first make a copy using the Edit > Clone command.
Select the bitmap and apply a Hue/Saturation effect.
This effect can be found in the Properties panel within the Filters menu, under Adjust Color. Set Saturation to -100.
Select the bitmap and apply the Convert to Alpha effect.
This effect can be found in the Properties panel within the Filters menu, under Other. Set the document canvas to White.
At least one of these should work for you.
Unfortunately, I can't quite understand the portion of your question regarding File > Export and the Export Wizard. If English is not your native language, you might try using Google Translate to compose your question.

Help on using Export Settings

Hello
Supposably by using "Export Settings >> Use Another Excel File" during export of a visualization would generate a flash file with the data defined on the "Use Another Excel File" file specification.
All the tests I have performed this feature does not work at all.
What am I doing wrong? Does this feature actually works or it has a BUG?
What is the idea behind this configuration and how the data is actually swaped by using the other spreadsheet data?
Regards
BKA

Andy
Thanks for the reply but from my tests it still does not work. Or maybe I did not understand the functionality it is trying to implement.
From my understanding if we use this feature than when I press PREVIEW or export it to PowerPoint the data that xCelisus uses to generate the view comes directly from the EXCEL file specified in the entry
EXPORT SETTINGS >> USE ANOTHER EXCEL FILE
Thus if we change a cell -- conected to a text box -- in the above excel file (not on the embedded Excel) this should reflect onto changes in the visualization. Thus the text box should now show the new value (not the value on the embedded excel).
This is the test I´m performing and the result is always the value actually stored in the embedded excel (thus the feature is not working).....

Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

Dear All,
Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
All the best, Sean

Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...
Open compressor and in the Help menu, Select the user manual. Navigate to page 315.

JVC GZ-HD7U MPEG Streamclip export settings for use with FCP

There are a number of compression options in the free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 and it's unclear what's best or how I would figure that info out. My guess is Apple HDV 1080i50, Apple HDV 1080i60, Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50, or Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i60. The default setting was Apple Motion JPEG A, but this produced a huge file and doesn't seem right anyway. I think the desired frame size is 1920 x 1080, but I'm uncertain if I need to end up with an interlaced or progressive .mov file. My selectable options for progressive/interlaced are: "Interlaced Scaling," "Reinterlace Chroma," and "Deinterlace Video." Selecting "Deinterlace Video" excludes use of the other two options.
These clips will eventually be edited in FCP and I'm guessing that the appropriate settings will match whatever is selected at the export stage.
I'm using the JVC Everio GZ-DH7U HD Hard disk camcorder...I'm not sure if JVC uses the same setting across the board for it's HD cameras or maybe just the Everio cameras are similarly designed??
Thanks to all!!

the output should match the source file, generally speaking. So if you camera is making HD files then using a HD sized coded would suffice.
HDV (IIRC) is 1440x1080. I often find that using the default settings for a particular file type in Streamclip often work quite well.
As a test, take a small file. if it works, great batch process away, if not, tweak it and then try the same small file until you get a desirable result. Rinse and repeat.
