Quicktime 7.0.3 AVI export problem

I recently agreed to an automatic update of Quicktime, to 7.0.3.. After that my exports from FCP PAL to AVI was hit by major problems. Every other second or so a frame would freeze,and thereby making it unusable by my VideoToaster unit. After making the same exports at anothers editors laptop G4, and experiencing the same problem I had to downgrade to Quicktime 7.0.1. That solved the problem. Any other out there with the same problem ?r

Nothing wrong with QuickTime 7.0.3 (or you'd see more posts).
Open your Utilities folder and then the Audio MIDI Setup app.
Set the Audio Output /Format to 44100 Hz.
Quit and restart QT Player and see if all is well.

  • After Effects Lossless AVI Export Problems

    Hi,
    I have a very strange problem that only occurs sometimes. It is kind of hard to explain, so bare with me.
    I'll just explain my process first:
    I import and edit all my video files in premiere pro CS5.5. Then I import my Premiere Pro Project into After Effects CS5.5 for Color Grading. While I scrub through my footage everything looks fine.
    I then Add my Comp to the Render queue, and select Best Settings, and Lossless AVI with Audio Output.
    After the footage renders, I watch it and every now and then a frame will be inserted from at least 7 frames up into the current time. This makes the footage look choppy/jumpy. Example: The character is walking and for one frame he will jump a couple inches forward, and the next frame he will be back again.
    This might happen a couple times in a row or every other shot. I thought maybe my computer was just playing it slow in Windows Media Player - but I imported the Lossless AVI file into Premiere Pro to play it in that, and it still has the same problem.
    I don't know what the problem is. I would just like my AE Comp to output smoothly without adding those extra frames on my footage.
    Here's an example image:
    If any of you could please help me, that would be great! Thanks!

    Okay, I just made a bunch of tests.
    1) I converted an .MTS file to an .AVI with the Lagarith codec. Then I imported that into AE. When I RAM Previewed it, I did not get the jump from frame to frame thing.
    2) I also imported the same video file, only an .MTS version and RAM Previewed that. Again, I did not have the problem I have been having.
    3) I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence and imported the same .MTS file I had been using. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro project (trying to go through the steps that got me to the problem in the first place), and tried RAM previewing that. Again, I did not have the problem I had been getting.
    So I obviously cannot re-create my issue. But the issue is still there in my other AE project. If I open up my AE Project that I had the problem with in the first place, I still get the jumpy frame issue when I preview it!
    I even tried creating a new AE project (willing to re-color grade all my footage), hoping that the problem would not be there. But when I create the new AE project and import my Premiere Pro project, the issue is still there.
    Is there something wrong with my Premiere pro project? When I play my premiere pro project without it going to AE it works fine, no issue. But when I import it into AE the issue is there!
    It has to be the Premiere Pro Project or the sequences in that project. Since, like I said above in test number 3: " I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro sequence, RAM previewed that. And I did not have the problem."
    What is going on? Will re-editing my entire project in a whole new Premiere Pro project fix my issue? What if it doesn't, and this happens again? How do I fix this?
    I really appreciate your help. I'm glad there is a place to go when I have a problem with Adobe Programs. I would never be able to figure this out by myself. Thanks!

  • Flash AVI Export Problem

    I am trying to export a short Flash animation that uses a
    snowflake effect. The animation exports fine other than the snow
    does not fall in the AVI. The snow actionscript and symbol are on
    seperate layers, both in the first frame of the animation.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance,

    nope - this won't do it - in fact no actionscript based
    animation of any kind will render to
    fixed-frame rate video format as of flash 8. You will need a

    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.
    Earlybird
    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 :-(

  • Quicktime exporting problems

    Hi,
    I have just exported my finished edit using quicktime movie (current settings). The problem is some of the footage is stuttering and slow. It looks perfect in the timeline but when exported the quality has dropped significantly.
    Iam using footage from two different cameras. primary vision comes from a handycam with AVCHD files. I logged and transferred them into fcp using apple pro res 422. The frame rate is 25fps, frame size 1920x1080.
    The other footage came to me on a disk so unsure of what the camera is but it was mp4 format NTSC 29.97fps, 1280 x 720. I converted these files to .mov and to pal 25 fps to match the frame rate of the handycam primary footage.
    Sequence setting in timeline:
    1920x1080 (HDTV 1080i 16:9)
    25 fps
    apple PoRes 422
    field dominance:none
    The poor quality footage is from the handycam when exported. The 1280 x 720 looks fine. Is this to do with the frame sizes not being the same in the sequence. Or is there something wrong in my sequence settings?
    Im utterly perplexed.
    please help!
    thanks

    I would have expected the problem to be with the mp4 sourced material.
    How did you convert the timebase from 29.97 to 25 fps?
    Was it interlaced or progressive?
    The AVCHD sourced material is interlaced. You are playing it in a progressive format.
    What happens if you change the dominence setting for the sequence to "upper field"
    fwiw - If it is an interlacing problem, you'll not see it in FCP as FCP displays a proxy that is deinterlaced.
    To see problems like this you need an external monitor that is being fed a real broadcast TV signal. Computer signals/displays don't show you the real deal.

  • Quicktime .avi preference Problem

    what is lacking or am I missing something, I have quicktime pro 7.0.4, in my preference>video the only box not ticked is playing avi files movies.
    However, when I had it selected, it will be unticked after i close preference, thus, I can not play avi files using qt.
    Is there a plugin that I should be installing for quicktime?
    cause i already have divx 6 for Mac and it is not working still.
    VLC can play avi but not in my ibook G4 1.33 with Tiger 10.4.4.
    What's wrong? anybody?

    It's important that people understand just what an .avi file is. Like .mov the .avi extension is an envelope. There are literally dozens of different codecs that use the .avi extension. There are quite a few .avi files that will simply not play on anything other than a Windows machine. Period. You'll have to get used to the idea that Quicktime will play some .avi files but not all. VLC will play some but not all. Flip4Mac will play some but not all. Even Windows users have problems with .avi files and may have to search a long time to find a proper codec.

  • Export problem: incomplete video

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using iMovie 5.0.2 on Tiger (QuickTime 7.3.1). A problem I've experienced with some of my iMovie projects is currently bugging me again:
    I'm working in iSight mode to edit videos taken with a digital (still) camera in video mode. When exporting the final video, e.g. in iPhone format, everything seems to go fine, there is no error message. But when I open the resulting m4v file (or mp4 file) with QuickTime it only plays up to a certain point. After this point, I can hear and navigate within the audio soundtrack, but the video doesn't move anymore, ie just displays a still frame.
    I've had the same problem with a few other QuickTime settings, such as the high quality setting. Interestingly, if I choose CD-ROM in the QuickTime export settings, the resulting file works perfectly.
    Has anyone experienced the same behaviour? Any ideas?
    cheers
    Hendrik

    Now, I've managed to free 6 GB on my hard drive and still the video was truncated at exactly the same point.
    However, I've discovered something else. I don't know whether this is a solution or a workaround. When I made a slight change to the clip in which the video stopped (e.g. remove one frame at the start), the resulting exported video would continue until a later position. Repeating this procedure finally got me all the way until the end of the film.
    I don't quite know what to make of this – I think the issue might not be related to lack of HD space after all. Maybe it's just another iMovie bug?
    Boy, I think it's time for me to upgrade to a recent Mac with a) a larger hard drive, b) iLife '08 and all the other goodies in Leopard. Maybe the iMovie problem will be resolved in iLife '08. And if not, at least with a faster Mac I don't have to wait as long for the result.

  • Widescreen Exporting Problem

    Hello everyone, I finally managed to get my Premiere to work, however I now seem to be held back by another problem.
    I am trying to export some 16:9 widescreen clips (taken from a flip mino HD) into a widescreen quicktime file. When the export area comes up, its all set to widescreen and the preview is in widescreen at all points.
    However, when it goes through the media encoder and finishes on my desktop, the image is squished up into a standard 4:3 square, and I really cant figure out why.
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    David

    The squishing is normal.  You need to unsquish it during playback.  Most software players won't do this automatically.  Windows Media Player and Quicktime in particular have issues with this.  VLC is a much better option.

  • AVI Export in Full HD-Auflösung in Premiere Elements 10 PC nicht möglich

    Ich verwende Premiere Elements 10 auf PC und habe ein Video Projekt in Full HD (1920*1080) erstellt,
    dass ich in bestmöglicher Qualität exportieren möchte, um es mit Soerenson Squeeze zu komprimieren.
    Der AVI Export lässt bei mir jedoch keine Full-HD-Auflösung zu. Das File wird per Werkseinstellung auf 720*576 reduziert.
    Es erlaubt keinen Zugriff auf die manuelle Skalierung.
    Was tun?
    Mit welcher Einstellung kann ich in Full HD und unkomprimiertem Audio exportieren?
    Vielen Dank

    Hi ATR,
    thank you for your advice.
    I´m just testing your setup but it serves actually not completely my
    purpose.
    My aim is to export one AVI format with an as good as possible
    resolution to serve as a master file to be subsequently
    compressed with the Soerenson Squeeze Pro to various different
    distribution formats.
    I need to do it with the Soerenson Squeeze as I get the presets from my
    distributors so that I can deliver different output
    to the particular distributors.
    The problem is that premiere elements does not offer individualized
    pixel size within the AVI export option.
    I have now purchased Premiere Pro (within CC), trying to open the
    Element projects in Premiere Pro.
    Unfortunately it does not work. Just the source files are imported but
    not the actual movie project with the time line
    so that I would have to start from scratch which is no option at all as
    I´m done with a 1h:30min tutorial.
    If you have advice on the AVI export of Elements or how to import the
    full project with Premiere Pro you would make me happy.
    Thanx
    Friedemann

  • Export problems- it's renaming my MOVs to strange things and they're huge!

    Hey guys,
    strange fcp export problem. I have a 10 minute anim compressed fcp project, 1920x1080, 30fps on a top-of-the-range macbook pro with external terabyte HD. I did a test export a couple of days ago, because our deadline is really soon, and that all worked fine - a 10 minute quicktime, 100% anim codec, was 26GB. That was fine. I did another test clip, just a spinning bitmap for 10 mins, from AfterEffects with similar, succesful, results and file sizes.
    Now, however, when I export, it comes out as 60GB, and FCP changes the filename to something which is the first half of the filename I chose, and a strange number for the second half which is different each time I try it. Something like "filena#CF342.mov", for example. This file seems to have video in it OK, but it's 3 times the size, and the data rate is much higher, too high to play back.
    The only changes I've made since my successful test are replacing many of the low res previews with hi res versions, and adding 1 minute to the end. And I changed my QMaster setup, not sure if that's anything to do with it.
    Anyone got any ideas? I'm getting pretty worried.....
    thanks in advance....

    Thanks for the quick reply! No, don't think that's the problem. The new render doesn't have an alpha channel - it's Animation 100% Millions (not Millions+), and I don't think that would add more than 25% to the file size anyway. It also wouldn't account for the strange renaming of filenames. And the increase in length is only 10%. The file size has tripled!
    The final delivery format was going to be animation, 1920x280, because it's going to projected on a 30m wide cinema screen and live TV tomorrow night but our playback solution (while it handles the test files ok) can't handle the data rate of these strange new files: it's 800mb/s, which is pretty ridiculous.
    The renaming of the files suggests (to me at least) some kind of bug/error, but it doesn't report any kinda error in either fcp or quicktime.
    Plan B is to recompress the strange big file using h264 which gives an ok quality and is 10% of the size. Reason I'd like to do it animation is I need to do several versions with different gamma, so I need to do further processing on the rendered file after it's dumped from FCP.
    Any thoughts? I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
    one thought - I didn't tick "recompress all files" and some of the source DOES have alpha - would it be taking the alpha channel even though I didn't ask for it?

  • Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

    Summary:
    With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
    Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
    The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
    If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
    We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
    It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!
    Expected Results:
    Error -43: file not found
    Actual Results:
    The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
    Regression:
    All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
    Notes:
    All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

    Not sure what file your are referencing?  Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
    It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
    i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
    they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
    If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works!  Same path, same user, same permissions.
    The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG.  If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

  • Final Cut Express Export problems

    I am trying to export a .dv file into a .avi format but it only seems to export 9 mins of a 1 hr file.
    What am I doing wrong.

    I am not sure what is going on, but i would be inclined to do the following,
    a) check to make sure that you have not set the in/out markers to limit the export to only 9 minutes.
    b) empty your render cache, you will need to do this manually via the finder.
    c) re-render the timeline.
    d) but to eliminate the .avi conversion, try exporting as a movie reference 1st, then using quicktime pro export to another format, such as mp4 and see if the same limitation happens. if not try again with the .avi export.

  • Best AVI export settings for a XDCAM EX 1080i60 35VBR FCP timeline

    I've editted a couple of XDCAM EX 1080i60 35VBR timelines in Final Cut Pro. The dimensions of the source footage and timeline sequence settings are 1920 x 1080 XDCAM EX 1080i60 35VBR.
    They will be used at a large conference center and the client has asked me to delivery HD AVI files.
    So far, everytime I export an AVI file from either the FCP timelines, or HD Quicktime XDCAM EX 1080i60 35VBR composites that I've made from the timeline, the AVI file that results is either alot smaller than the 1920 x 1080 quicktime file and/or pixelated to some degree, and not as clean as the HD quicktime.
    I have very little experience with AVI and was hoping someone could suggest appropriate export settings. As I said, the client only indicated they want AVI files, and that their equipment can display HD files.
    So I'm trying to maintain the quality of the original and editted footage.
    I'd like to work with the tools and export options available within FCP7 (FCS3) and quicktime, as opposed to having to purchase some AVI transcoder, but I guess I'd be open to that if I had to otherwise take a huge quality hit.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    I'd like to work with the tools and export options available within FCP7 (FCS3) and quicktime, as opposed to having to purchase some AVI transcoder
    As far as I know there are no tools/export options within FCP7 (FCS3) and/or Quicktime to do what you probably want to do (compressed HD AVI export). But if a fully uncompressed 1920x1080 AVI export is ok for you / your client then you can use Export > Quicktime Conversion, set the Format to AVI and change the Options >> Video >> Settings >> Compression type to "None" ... bear in mind that this will produce some pretty big exports file size wise (about 6-7 GB per minute).
    Or instead, you can download and use MPEG Streamclip. Open your HD Quicktime XDCAM EX 1080i60 35VBR composites into MPEG Streamclip and choose File > Export to AVI ... then in the AVI Exporter window you can +choose the codec+ you need and press the "Make AVI" button (leave the settings at default, especially Frame Size which should be "unscaled"). Note that AVI is just a wrapper, not a codec. Make sure you chose an HD capable codec that your client can handle (it's unlikely that they will be able to play back any Apple XDCAM EX variant, or indeed any codec that starts with "Apple").
    Or just send them an unscaled H264 test file and see how they get on with that (and you can export H264 from FCP, Compressor, Quicktime and/or MPEG Streamclip). It's scalable (handles any resolution including HD) and is pretty much universally supported delivery codec. I'd expect your client would be happy to accept it if you explain that the format will offer the quality the need.
    However you proceed I'd strongly recommend you send the client a few test encodes first to have them confirm that they can indeed read / handle your encodes correctly.
    Hope it helps

  • Corrupt avi export

    Hello everyone,
    I have a 82 minute long piece that I had to export to avi (DV codec) and give to another company to finish off. The problem was that I exported the clip and discovered that of the 82 minutes, the file would only play 4:29 of the clip, even though the file is 17GB large. I tried again and the same thing happened. We finally exported a QT/DV and used Vegas to convert to avi but I still need to fix this problem. I tried taking 10 minutes worth of the video and it exported fine. I then tried a 40 minute clip and got it to run for 2:01 (8.42 GB). So I'm a little confused here and would welcome input and suggestions on my problem. Thanks!

    Just a follow up on my experience with this problem. I tried exporting a FCP movie (not a self contained movie) and I loaded that clip into another computer we have here also with FCP 5.0.4 and did an avi export from that computer. Well the results were the same. A large 17GB file that only has the first 4:28 of the 82 minute video playable. This is too strange
