QUICKIE - default settings for quicktime conversion export

Hi All...
Is it possible to set the default settings to still image when choosing export via quicktime conversion?
I do a lot of frame grabs and at present whenever i do an export via QT Conversion i have to change the default from movie to still image...can still image be set to the default and therefore be selected when QT Conversion is selected from export options?
I think that is comprehensive enough a question!
Thanks for any help or guidance..it will save a lot of mouse clicking if it is possible.

Wow! I sometimes need to do a few frame grabs, and this is a great way to do it.
Good thinking.
there are a few other editors and often it is difficult to persuade them out of their comfort zones.
Gee and they still get work?
If I didn't get out of my "comfort zone" my style wouldn't change, I wouldn't be able to handle OS and suite updates, let alone move away from linear suites.
I understand that some people might want a quick and easy solution, a single button press, but this solution sounds like it isn't so hard to make editors run and hide.
If they do baulk and cry, I would suggest you find some new editors; cause they are never going to adapt and give your clients top quality stylish work.

  • Can you make a custom quicktime conversion export be your default?

    When I go to export a quicktime conversion, I change the perameters to a custom setting for my need. Next time I go back into quicktime conversion, it goes back to the FCP defaults and I have to set my custom settings all over again.
    Is there a way to create a custom export in quicktime conversion AND MAKE THAT the new default for quicktime conversion?
    Alternatively, is there a quicker way to always get to my preferred export settings?
    Thanks.

    Why not just construct your favourite QT EXPORT setting in Compressor and then drag that setting into the box every time you want that type of movie?

    the results i get a odd. - the video exports fine, except for the beginning titles, instead a still frame image from somewhere else in the video occupies that intro, until the first transition- in this case- dip to white, then the rest of the video is fine. the portion of the beginning  that does not show are composed of:  livetype text credits in V2 - in which i have done a manual opacity fade up and down - so the livetype text fades in, over matte color solid in V1. in the exported video -i do not see any of this, all i see is a seemingly random still from somewhere else in the video. i can however hear the audio as it is supposed be.
    cant figure out why this is happening. anybody know?
    i think the livetype files are 1920 x 1080.
    my FCP sequence is 720 p
    this has only recently started happening and doesn't seem to be consistent.
    im wondering if it has to do with the live type files, or the white solid?…
    or the conversion settings above?

    Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.

    Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references  in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem.  The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
    As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

  • Is it possible to change the default settings for the slideshow?

    The default settings for any new slideshow use the dreaded Ken Burns effect and some awful background music from a standard library. Having to turn these things off for every new slideshow I start is driving me nuts. Perhaps preferring no music accompaniment and a static photo on the screen is for some people rather boring - but I would prefer it, at least as a starting point. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

    Choose "Export" and then the QuickTime option.
    It will make a 4 track video with a simple "fade" effect between photos. You can set the dimensions and the duration of your photos. You can also remove the music or add your own from your iTunes Library (no purchased music if you intend to share these movies).

  • QuickTime Conversion Exporting HDV

    Hi,
    The camera I used was a Sony HDV 1080i60 and my movie is about 10 minutes in length. Just a simple video with fade in and fade outs with audio.
    It seems that when I convert by exporting to QuickTime Movie, there is no issue. However, when exported through certain settings under QuickTime Conversion, the 'cross dissolve' effect does not seem to appear properly.
    Can anybody suggest a standard setting for this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Muglho,
    You should really use QT movie, same settings self-contained and not QT conversion as the latter causes further coompression to your video and possible loss of quality (HDV is an heavely compressed format).

  • FCP7 Quicktime Conversion Export Resetting

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export a 46 minute HD project from FCP 7, which is due to TX on national TV in 4 days time.
    I'm trying to export as the following:
    Pro res 422
    Quicktime Conversion
    1920x1080
    6 channels of audio
    25p
    49Khv 16bit Linear PCM
    However, the Quicktime conversion export keeps reaching 100%, and then resets straight back to either 0 or a different random percentage. Why is this? It's been going for 5/6 hours...

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

    Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

    Hi everybody
    I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
    First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
    The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
    As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
    Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
    Regards
    Raghu

    hi Ram & Sreenivas
    Thanks for your immediate response.
    Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
    Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
    Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
    Current Scenario
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
    Required scenrio
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
    We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
    For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
    Please help in this regard if time permits.
    Thanks
    Raghu

  • GL account given in Default Settings for Items is not taking precedence

    Hi All,
    Could you please give your valuable inputs for my query
    Which takes precedence....GL account given in Default Settings for Items at the top of the shop screen or the Product category and GL account assignment maintained in SRM GUI?
    Scenario: I input a GL account in 'Default Settings for Items' at the top of the shop screen. Then click on Describe Requirements. Here I change the Product Category and add the line item to shopping cart.
    What GL account will appear in the cost assignment? Default value maintained at the top or the value maintained in the Product category table.
    Thanks
    Deepthi....

    Hi Muthu,
    Thank you for your response.
    It is not picking the default G/L account assigned to cost center( I believe you are talking abt OKB9 trans). It is picking the G/L account which is assigned to the product category in the customising. This is happenning only if the product category is changed for the line item while adding the item to shopping cart. Otherwise the same G/L account given at the header is appearing in the line item too.
    Also While changing the G/L#  information in Default settings for items at top, if Cost center is also changed then the same cost center is appearing in the cost assignment section for the line item but not the G/L.
    Wanted to know if this is a standard design or not. I would like to have the header data to take precedence over the product category and G/L assignment. Any suggestions please
    No ..... I checked in csks table.There are many cost centers for the company code.
    Thanks

  • Any Way to Set Default Settings for HDR Toning?

    I have developed a nice set of parameters for the HDR Toning feature and have saved them as Noels Defaults, but I don't see a way to make them the default settings for HDR Toning.  Frankly I find the default color settings for the tool very garish.  I suppose that's good, because it always reminds me that I need to select my own settings, but...
    Can you suggest a way to make my own settings the HDR Toning dialog defaults, so as to save a step each time I use it?
    My apologies if I'm being dense and missing something obvious.
    Thanks.
    -Noel
    P.S., I'm on Windows 7 by the way, and of course I'm talking about Photoshop CS5.

    Thanks Zeno.
    Well, then, Adobe, could you please make the defaults settable, for example like Camera Raw?
    Thank you.

  • Shopping Cart - Default Settings for items

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 7.0  SP05 classic scenario with backend ECC 6.0 EHP4.  There is a requirement to retain shopping cart default settings so that user is no need to enter default values on each shopping cart creation.
    We are intent to develop a custom WDA for users to edit their own shopping cart default settings, the values will be saved to user position attributes and extended attributes (including some customized attributes) at PPOMA_BBP.  After that, default settings will be copied from attribute during shopping cart creation, for example:
    Item Basic Data: Product Category <== extended attribute "Product Category" value which is set as default
    Account Assignment: Account Assignment Category <== attribute KNT which is set as default
    Assign Number: Cost Center <== attribute CNT,  Asset <== attribute AN1, WBS Element <== attribute PRO  (plus two custom attributes to hold value of Internal Order and Network)
    Here are the questions:
    (1)  For GL account, we did not config combination of Product Category and Account Assignment Category in SPRO, we will create a custom attribute as mentioned above.  However, where can we insert our coding to copy custom attribute value to default setting during shopping cart creation?   Is class /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_USER_CONTEXT  a candidate?  If yes, which method should be enhanced?
    (2)  For Delivery Address, if we do not use standard address management and maintain value at attribute ADDR_SHIPT, we intent to use similar approach: maintain custom attribute and then populate to default settings.  The same question is where can we insert our coding to copy custom attribute values to default setting during shopping cart creation?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Donald

    Dear Laurent,
    Yeah, this is a very strange issue and also a rare one. We have already tried this option. User deleted the cart and created a new cart. But still no luck. The new cart is also not getting released from SOCO. User created many carts previously for different product categories, vendors and all carts were through. But for this cart,it is not getting released. If you could have any other idea, you are most welcome.
    Anyway, thanks so much for your time and patience. Appreciate your help!!
