Quicktime Export as WMV issue...

Recently I've been having an issue converting some videos to WMV versions. In the past I have taken my .mov files from Final Cut, opened them in QT and then exported as a .wmv without issue. Now it seems I keep having an issue every time i try to export as a .wmv
I select it as an option and I get an error message every time that says "Parameter out of range!" "This version of WMV Export does not support the specified frame size."
Does anyone know what this means and how I can get it fixed? I just want to convert my .mov to a .wmv for a client who has windows media player.
Thanks,
Mike

You may need to reinstall or update your version of the Flip4Mac codecs. If you continue to have problems, you may have the best luck if you take up the issue in the Flip4Mac forums.

Exporting to wmv issues

Hi everyone. I'm using fcp 7. I'm trying to export a 1 minute movie to windows media. I'm trying to export this video so it can be played on a window computer. I export the video with in and out points, but it cuts off the last 5 seconds of the video, it will not export the whole thing. What am I doing wrong and what is the best export setting for windows media? thanks for your help.

I just found this thread, and yes its the demo version. Is there a way around this through compressor or anything else? I have thousands of dollars in editing programs and I cant convert this on my own? really?
Sounds like you're using the free (demo) version of flip4mac. You need to purchase one of their regular version to obtain full exports.

QuickTime exported .wmv get uploaded as .wmv.bin

When uploadindg my QuickTime exported (compressed) .wmv to my website's server it arrives as a ".wmv.bin" format and cannot be recognized as a .wmv movie on my website.
This just started to happen. In the past 18 months I have created and ftp'd almost 100 .wmv movies to my website's server without any problem
Any help is appreciated.

David:
You, and TopoTone before you, seem to be on the right track. I spoke with the tech folks at my server who told me there must be something strange happening during the upload. Then I uploaded the .wmv version giving me the trouble, this time reverting to my older Mac G4, and it worked--the movie now plays.
So I will check with NetFinder, my ftp program support people to see if on the new MacPro a setting was changed.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions.
At least I have until Sunday, when I upload another movie, to straighten out the problem.

Exporting to WMV: Aspect Ratio Issue

I am working with .mts files on Final Cut Pro 5 that need to be exported as WMV files. The original files are 1440 x 1080 and I convert them to .mov using Voltaic. Everything works fine in FCP, but then when I export them using Quicktime Conversion, the aspect ratio gets funky. I set it to Custom: 1440 x 1080, yet when I play it back in either Finder or Quicktime, it plays in the wrong aspect ratio, at 4:3.
Is this something that I'm doing wrong - a wrong setting or wrong aspect ratio? Or is that just how it plays back in Quicktime?
Also, any recommendations for settings to get the best quality? I've been doing two pass VBR; what's the best bit rate to use?
Thank you in advance!

I copied the images into PS and layered them with transparency. All of the images are stretched on what appears to be their long dimension.
I'm guessing it is an incompatibility between "Matt's Multi Photo Grid" template and LR 3.5, but the template works fine on my Windows Vista 64bit system with LR 3.5.

Quicktime Pro exporting to WMV -- only exports 30 seconds?

Have 7.6.6 PRO and am exporting to WMV. But I only get 30 seconds of video? Any ideas?

I am having a problem with this as well. In Quicktime Pro, when I try and export a 4:49 length .mov into a .wmv, it will only give me 4.30. Why would it cut me off? At first I thought maybe the machine hic-upped or something during the conversion but I have attempted it several times and no matter what I do, I can only get 4:30 in length.
I have Quick Time Pro and Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro HD and have spent hours going through the FAQ’s and discussion forums on both sites and can’t find anything about a time constraint once you have purchased the “paid” versions......HELP

Quicktime Export causing Out of Sync Audio?

I'm trying to export a self contained Quicktime movie from my timeline, and every time I try, the audio ends up being out of sync. What am I doing wrong?
The audio is set to just the defaults, 16 bit, 48khz.
Sequence settings: HDV1080p30
When I bring the final exported movie back into FCP, it plays out of sync.
Exporting through the Share feature to bluRay resulted in perfect sync audio, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.
Please help!

Allright, since nobody out there seems to have the answer - I'm going to share what I discovered so that the next person will actually get an answer without having to spend hours and hours finding it in other forums. Here goes:
Problem: Audio plays in sync on the timeline, an export from the timeline through Share to bluRay results in correctly synced audio; but a Quicktime Export with current settings results in a final movie where audio is out of sync with the video.
Solutions: I found two solutions to this problem:
1- When exporting to Quicktime Movie, check "recompress all frames". This solution had mixed reviews, with lots of people saying you should never do this, as it will reduce the quality of your final output; while others said the reduction in quality was not noticeable to the naked eye. I guess you can try it and be the judge.
2- In your sequence settings, change the compression setting to Apple Pro Res. This is the setting I decided to go with, as I'm currently awaiting the 10 hour render.
I did do a quick and dirty test on the ProRes option, where it appeared to work. Since the audio is correctly synced in the beginning of the video and then slowly falls out of sync (obviously the 30p to 29.97 problem), I had to run a test using my entire sequence. If you run a test on a 2 minute sequence, it will appear to be correct, because it is a slow falling out of sync issue - the problems occur later in your project (just fyi). Here is what I did (in case you want to try it on your project):
I created a new sequence and then changed the compression setting from HDV1080-30p to Apple Pro Res 422. I dragged my sequences into this sequence (so they were nested). I unlinked the audio and then selected about a 20 second area from about 3/4 of the way through the project. I sliced this section and then removed all the video before and after (so it would speed up render time and only render black, but I would still be able to see if the audio synced up later - I hope that makes sense - this made my export time only 12 minutes). After it exported, I reimported the movie, found the little 20 second area, and it was correctly synced. So, now I am exporting the whole thing. I sincerely hope this works. I don't have lots of 10 hour blocks just lyin' around!
Since my audio issue was most likely due to the fact that I captured and edited in 1080 30p, I believe it must be a bug in FCP that exports the Quicktime movie in 29.97 regardless of whatever your sequence settings are (believe me, I tried to change it to 1080-30p and it didn't work). That is why I think the Apple Pro Res option works, but it involves a total re-render of your project. This is also why I believe it plays fine in the timeline, because my timeline was set to 30p. Again, I also believe that is why my export to BluRay through Share resulted in correctly synced audio - the bluRay export I believe uses the Pro Res codec (which, by the way, took 19 hours).
Wish Apple would fix this bug.

Quicktime Export Does Not Play Music

I am having problems with the Quicktime export function of iPhoto not exporting the background music with the pictures. The old quick time files with the music in them seem to be playing fine in quicktime, so it isn't a quicktime issue. The music plays fine with the slide show, so I wonder why this problem.
Help is appreciated. I am using 5.0.4 version of iPhoto.

If anyone reads these posts and is experiencing these problems I think I have a solution! I spoke to Apple today and they are aware of the problema and are working on a solution. In the mean time they have a work-around and it works!! The problem centers on importing music that is not in MP3 format in some instances. So the easy explanation, or fix, is to reformat any troublesome music selections as MP3. The trick is how to do this if you are using iTunes. This is how I went about it:
First I had to set iTunes to become MP3 friendly. I learned to do this from a post in the iTunes discussions (thanks to Peter Miller!)
1. open iTunes.
2. select iTunes preferences.
3. go to "Advanced".
4. select "Importing".
5. In the drop-down menu for "Import Using" select "MP3 Encoder"
6. Select files in iTunes Library which are not MP3
7. In the "Advanced" menu select "Convert selection to MP3"
Steps #6 and #7 were not adequate to convert my clips to MP3, however, so I had to take a couple of additional steps.
1. Create a folder on the desktop - I labeled mine "Slideshow Music"
2. Drage your music from iTunes to your new folder. You'll have to trash the original copies eventually, but I'd wait until you're sure the conversion to MP3 works to do so.
3. Use a utility to convert the files to MP3. I used one called iLoveMP3 that I found on the internet. It worked perfectly. I also found a commercial program called Sound Grinder but didn't try it.
4. Once you convert your music to MP3, discard the copies in your "Slideshow Music" folder that are not MP3.
5. Discard the copies of your music in iTunes before re-importing your MP3 copies of the same music.
6. FINALLY! Drag your new MP3 copies of your music in to iTunes. They are now copied as MP3 and will work in your slideshow!
I know it is a lot of work, but if you keep the iTunes settings as they are now, and all NEW music is imported as MP3, I think future music usage in slideshows should be a little easier.

Quicktime Export - Double Speed

I have had more problems with Quicktime Export ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. My usual way of doing things is to edit my movie, then export to +Quicktime Movie+ using the same format (ie not +Quicktime Conversion+...). However, every time I export that way, my movie is running at 200%, while the audio is running at regular speed. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

Quicktime export contains random grey frames

Lately, doing a straight Quicktime export (not Quicktime conversion) is resulting in movies with random grey frames in them, lasting about 12 frames or so each. This is HD footage, shot on the Panasonic DVX-100. This only seems to happen when exporting certain sequences, but I haven't been able to establish a pattern as to why it's happening on certain exports but not on others. It's all footage shot, ingested, and edited on sequences with the same exact settings.
It's only been happening since upgrading to QT 7.5, but the other computer in the office also upgraded, and it hasn't encountered this problem, and can export the same sequences I'm having problems with just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this, or offer a solution?

for the record this was not my first post, I forgot my account info. I'm normally very nice but studio x was just puffing his chest and belittling a good question
This is a Final Cut issue. If it were only a drive/scsi issue the errors would also be there in the animation codec as well. The bad frames ONLY occur when doing a quicktime export [DVCPRO HD 720](referenced, render all frames, and self contained). I'm not dismissing the fact that there very well may be a drive causing problems (G-SPEED XL12).
The bad frames do not occur any other time. I render plenty of things in the exact same codec over the network to the raid from AE and Motion and never ever have a problem.
One thing I am doing differently now is long form projects. The projects having issues are a one hour show and a two hour+ show. I don't have this problem with commercials or other small packages. It also doesn't matter if it's a random 10 sec section exported or the whole program.
This is what I'm working with:
HVX200 and other mixed footage
FCP and QT last updated in early july (no internet connection)
G-SPEED XL12
Fibre channel to one station that also acts as a file server
gigabit to one station from the file server
trunked gigabit to another station from the server (seperate NIC)
All three stations exhibit the same problem including the station connected via Fibre Channel
Other people are having the same problem as I've found by searching. The earliest report of this specific issue I've found so far was stated around Jan of this year. But there are more reports from this summer.

Exporting to WMV causes Premiere Pro to crash

Hi there all,
Was wondering if you could help me here. When i export to WMV PP crashes. Now I thought i could get around this by rendering it as another file type and then using Adobe Media Encoder to code it to WMV... BUT! when i did this Adobe Media Encoder only gave me 1/2 my video!!! It too crashed!!! :-( . The video site that my work uploads to only accepts wmv unfortunatly
please help

Was exporting to wmv
has worked before, was using custome settings redcing the average video bit rate to make the video smaller for upload
no i do not have any third-party effects or codecs installed

After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108)

I am using CS3 After Effects and have been receiving this After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108). Can anyone help with this issue?
I am using a Mac Pro 6-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz with 6 memory slots at 1GB DDR3 ECC at Speed 1333MHz.

Sounds like one of those many "old version of AE on new hardware" issues... You may need to fiddle with Rosetta or install it in teh first place, if you haven't already and you may also require a specific older version of Quicktime...

Export to QT issues

Hi this has happened twice today-
I export from FCP to a Quicktime Movie- self contained is checked- current settings (DV NTSC) and is starts crunching-
When I play it back, the first minute or so may be fine, but then it goes to all video noise- just blocks of color. You can hear most of the audio, but here is noise in that too.
or it exports, but a 13:52 minute movie read as 192 mb, not a 2.92 GB file when I re-exported.
I don't know what other info you need to troubleshoot, so ask away.

FAT32 is a file system, or the "format" of your hard drive. Default for Macintosh is HFS+ and for Windows, its NTFS. FAT32 is a somewhat older format, and therefore has certain limitations, the most important of which is a 4GB file size limit. The benefit of using such a format is that it is both readable and writable by both Windows and Mac. Because of this, it is often used as the default format for external hard drives when you buy them.
If you have no need to transport your data between OS X and Window, then it makes perfect sense to reformat the drive to HFS+ using Disk Utility.
However, I've never heard of rendering to a FAT32 drive causing corruption. (I've stored video to FAT32 before, but not sure if I've ever rendered to it). I would find it a little hard to believe that Quicktime would have any issues writing to a file system that's supported by default (as long as you're not breaking the file size limit). Can anyone provide some more details about why this would happen?
PS to Maxx - There should no problem backing up the drive. FAT32 plays very well with OS X. I've used a half FAT32 and half HFS+ disk for a while, and never had any problem. In fact, most flash thumb drives probably comes as FAT16 or FAT32 formaated - and those couldn't be more common.

Error when trying to export to wmv

i keep getting an error when i try to export my movie to wmv. is anyone else having that problem?

The flip4mac update doesn't appear to solve the problem exporting from iMovie 08. I have updated both iMovie and the flip4mac exporter plug in and still cannot export from within iMovie - it comes up with said error. I have to export to a *.mov file first, and then open that file in quicktime, then export to *.wmv from within quicktime itself. Perhaps using VisualHub would be cheaper (and faster).

Quicktime export inconsistency

I have built a slideshow and have been trying to export to quicktime. The build choked on one slide that does not have any characteristics that are different than any of the other slides. I removed the slide, and the build went fine. I have since tried to rebuild the slide and export it by itself, and it just won't go. Gets to the last frame and gives me the "export failed, you are either out of disk space or there was an error" message. ANY ideas on what would make a quicktime export NOT work? Entire slide is just images and text transitions.

The only way I was able to resolve the issue was to remove the audio file that was part of the slide, export as quicktime, then add the audio in final cut after.

QuickTime exports: poor quality result

This ties in with troubles I've been having with EyeTV exporting in bad quality. Since it uses the QuickTime exporter, I've narrowed my problem to QuickTime giving very bad quality exports. I know it is definitely QuickTime and not my settings, since I use the exact same settings in VisualHub and it converts the file beautifully.
This is become more of an issue because I was wanting to export has H.264 directly from Final Cut Pro, but since it too uses the QuickTime export it provides me with very poor clarity.
My system details:
Mac OS X 10.5.4, QuickTime 7.5.
I have Flip4Mac and Perian codecs installed for QuickTime. What is the issue here?

It's just a normal computer monitor. But the thing is if I a-b the exported video compared to the video before it was ever dropped into final cut pro, there is an obvious difference. So, I didn't think the monitor was an issue although I am sure it doesn't help. But, in the end the videos I do end up getting converted to flash and put on the website. Perhaps I should deinterlace?
