Quicktime Export in wrong format

I use a Sony HD videocam in 1920 x 1080. All of my Quicktime movie exports show as 1920 x 1080. I have just produced one, however, which is appearing smaller and less detailed as 720 x 576. it is a film of a theater presentation. Although all of my clips are 1920 x 1080, I did begin the timeline with some still photos taken from the videocam. I subsequently converted these to 1920 x 1080 (they show as 1440 x 1080 but fit the format now perfectly). However, I now notice an oddity with my end credits. I reduce a short clip of an actor in size from 40 to 30 on the "motion scale" settings. I then add a "Shift N" freeze frame. Normally these freeze frames also show as 1920 x 1080 in line with the clip itself. But on this occassion the freeze frames are describing themselves as 720 x 576 ... although the effect still works fine. Could these 720 x 576 freeze frames be the reason that my whole 1.5 hour movie is exporting at 720 x 576 instead of the usual 1920 x 1080?

Go to Sequence>Settings and in the lower left use load presets.
Anything that's in the HD in the sequence will have to be reset using the remove attributes function. If you have mixed media, strange things will happen.
Also use easy setup to change your preset so any future sequences you create will be in the correct format.

Excel dates export with wrong format.

When I exported an Excel Spreadsheet with several date columns, they displayed correctly but because of wrong formatting, they didn't sort right. The cell display was, for example, 2/7/2013 but Excel treated it as 7/2/2013 because it was assigning another country's formatting. some of the cells were formatted correctly, but about half of them were wrong and they were wrong in different ways. some were Argentinian, some Carribean, some European. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening?

Quicktime export to dv format (preferably PAL)

Hmmm,
I just read Karsten's post and I think I already know the answer but ...
I really need to be able to export a slideshow from iPhoto to DV PAL format. For some reason I can't understand, iMovie produces really bad moire interference patterns with my mum's still photos in the Ken Burns effect, but iPhoto doesn't. I can work around this if I can just do the photo animation and transitions in iPhoto then export to iMovie to add captions, titles, music, voice overs and chapter markers.
The highest quality export I can find is 640x480 which is virtually useless to me. Karsten's post suggests that the frame rate is for NTSC and I need PAL.
I was certain this was possible in previous versions of iPhoto - am I correct.
Why does Apple keep taking away the things I want - firewire, replaced iMovie HD with iMovie 08 (yuck!), export options (what have I missed?)
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can point me at a workaround that isn't too complicated for my mum.
Steve

Neither iPhoto 4 or 5 has a PAL option under the Quicktime export, only size options. Which iMovie version are you having trouble with? If it's V7 try downloading and usingiMovie HD 6 which has been made available to iLife 08 users who want the many features of V6 that were dropped out of V7.
An alternative that I suggested in the topic with Karsten was using QT Player to convert to PAL after exporting out of iPhoto. It creates a larger file but if you're going into iDVD it will be encoded again. The extra encoding may lessen the image quality but you'd have to give it a try, save the iDVD project as a Disk Image (File->Save as disk image) and play the disk image with DVD Player to see how the encoding went before committing to disk (burn with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available).
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

HT3775 I just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

i just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and QuickTime
will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

Excel export (webui crm -- excel) wrong format of house number

Hi,
in an excel export (webui crm ---> Excel) is displaying the wrong format.
If the house number contains a special character such as "/" then the house number displayed in the date format in Excel.
And if in the field house number is a number and a letter such as "9 a", then the house number is displayed in time format (9:00 am) instead the house number.
Does anybody know, how can I solve this problem?
Thank you in adance.
Best regards, Jasmin

Hi,
There is no error from the CRM functionality. If you SAVE the excel,instead of opening it directly and then " open with "
word pad or notepad, you can see the phone no.s and fax no.s are properly transported to excel.There is a default format setting of
excel from the Microsoft, so you are getting the default format after opening the excel.
Steps:
1.Export to excel.
2.Choose the BP,PHONE and FAX columns holding the 'CTRL'key.
3.Right click on the chosen columns and choose "format cells".
4.Under the tab "number" choose 'number' and and reduce the decimal
place to '0' and click "OK".
5.Now you will be able to see the expected format.
If you are using IE then the excel file that is being generated should be an XML file which would help with the formating issue. But when there is a problem in the generation of the XML file a CSV file is created instead.
The kind of problems that can cause this could be :
- Wrong version of Excel (professional needed)
- Error in encoding (note 1560243 corrects this)
- Active X Settings on browser are not properly setup or disabled
- Other problems (some fixed in note 1457261)
I hope this helps.
Br,
Lloyd

Can't save and export to AVi format

I am trying to send a video to Facebook but it says wrong format as PRE. So I
looked at the Create pure AVi project- when I click on the timeline and then go to File, EXport is
greyed out so I can't use it. What am I doing wrong? I have files saved on a secondary drive with 1 Terabyte of space,1st hard drive only has about 7 gig of space.
Pam

Thanks Bill, I must say, I have gotten so much help from you guys!
I have version 8 but in Steve's book on page 212 it
describes the solution. I'll look more closely at the share tab. I have defragmented, cleared space, updated, all the directions given and still can't get more than 7 gigs on my hard drivie- (80Gig) The second drive has 1 Tb. Can I just move Premiere to that drive or do I still need to use the main hard drive.

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?

No one helped. Oh well.

Downloaded itunes tv shows but says it is wrong format

I have an Touch iPod. I downloaded Dexter season 6. iTunes is telling me it is in the wrong format to play on my Touch. Seasons 1-5 worked fine. Did that change video formats that has obsoleted my Touch? All hardware and QuickTime is up to date.

You should be able to download the SD version by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The sync to your iPod
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

Full Quality Quicktime export squashed the picture

Hi,
Exported iMovie HD6 clips as Quicktime export. Clips are 4:3 resolution. Set export dims to "current", but in the exported movie, people and objects look shorter and wider.
Settings used:
Compression: H.264
Quality: Best
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 720x480 (current)
Format: AAC
Sample Rate 48.000 kHz
Channels: Stereo
Bit Rate: 320 kbps
Prepare for Internet Streaming- Fast Start checked.
Settings were chosed based on youtube.com recommendations.
Why does the movie look squashed?
Thanks!!!

UPDATE:
Tried again, and selected dimensions: NTSC 720x480 4:3 instead of "Current" 720x480.
This corrected the problem, but can anyone explain why selecting "current" to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio messed things up?
Thanks!

Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server

Our company has purchased a number of Elgato h264 encoders and we're loving them. They reduce our h264 compression times on average from 15-20 mins down to 2-3 mins. It usually compresses our videos faster than real time. Which as a news organization is great for us. These encoders work great on all our Macbook Pros & Mac Pro systems. I've now installed one onto our final cut server and set up a custom compressor setting. Under the 'encoder' tab the file format had to be set to "Quicktime Export Components" instead of "Quicktime Movie" to use the Elgato. And it works great when I send a single file threw compressor. BUT I can't get this custom preset to show up or work inside Final Cut Server. I have other custom settings that do show up and work (but they are all "Quicktime Movie" file formats). I've rebooted multiple times and looked under multiple Responses transcode settings, but the new one I've created to use the Elgato never shows up.
Is it possible to use Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server?
I couldn't find any mention of this in the FCS admin manual or any other posts in the forums regarding this.

I have seen on MediaSilo.com a tip to get Elgato H.264 working with Compressor, but I can't seem to be able to find it. Basically, the trick was to create a duplicate setting in Compressor that Final Cut Server is able to read ( not as Quicktime Export Component), associate it with a Final Cut Server's compression setting and later reassign that setting in Compressor to Elgato.
I will keep diggin' for this tip, it was actually a screen recording.

Embed Quicktime export with hyperlinks in web page

I've got a project I exported from Keynote with hyperlinks -- forward, back, return to menu, etc.
The links work fine in the Quicktime export playing in the player. They work fine if I open the file directly in a web browser.
If I embed the file in a web page, however, the link functionality goes away, and it ends up as a 'click-to-advance' movie. Does anyone know if there's a parameter I need to include in the embed code to enable hyperlinks? I couldn't find any likely candidates in Apple's official list...

My apologies; something must have gone wrong with my export. Tried again, and it works fine!

Can't play Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports

I have version 10.0.09 and Ive tried every setting in the export settings to try and save the video as something other than Quicktime. This is because when I go to play my exported quicktime video, it comes up with "QuickTime Player can't open "*******" because the movie's file format isn't recognized." I need to send the video to a client but I myself can't view it and fear they won't be able to open it either..
What export settings can guarantee me to view the video?
I also need the video under 2GB and it tells me at the bottom it is at 3.18GB est. When I save it as AppleProRes 442 it comes up as 103MB in the info on my documents so I assume that's not a problem. But I still cannot open the file to view once exported.
Help please!

Choose your project (or a compound clip in the Timeline - in either case while in the timeline, put the playhead at the start and hit "I" then move to end and hit the "O" key. Now select the corresponding Project in the browser:
choose share/e-mail/settings/ Small. This will give you the smallest QT file that you MAY be able to put into an e-mail. If you want a larger file:
share/export file/settings/Format:Audio & Video/CODEC:H.264/open with QT Player/Roles as a QT File.
You can adjust as needed - in export file if you choose settings/format:Apple Devices/Codec: H.264 Better Quality/Open WITH/ QT PLAYER, click on the tiny TV icon with a check in it next to the file size & will always show you which devices it is optimized for. EVEN IF IT IS A MPEG_4 FILE... Quick Time will play it as will a PC.
Experiment with the settings of each setting in Export File. Stay away from MASTER and do not send Apple Pro Res it will be too big and they may not be able to play it.
Choose Codec h.264.
This is very basic stuff, I hope this helps, tho.
