Quicktime export problems in CS4

I am having trouble exporting Quicktime videos from Flash
CS4. Previously, in Flash CS3, I got the following dialogue box:
Flash
CS3 export box
Notice the fact that I can change the export resolution in
this box. I set the resolution to what I want, and then click the
quicktime settings box to change the movie's dimensions to what I
want. The resolution settings in this picture determine what
dimensions the flash movie is rendered at, not the final quicktime
movie. Now, take a look at my new dialogue box:
Flash
CS4 export dialogue options
Notice that I can't change the resolution settings here. If I
go into the quicktime settings and export out a movie at a higher
resolution, it first renders the flash file at the native
resolution in the picture and then upsizes it to the quicktime
resolution, resulting in a very low-quality, blurry movie.
Does anyone know how I can render out a quality quicktime
movie in CS4?

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of!! How can you remove the option for determining the size of my movie?! If the size of the frame influances the frame rate, you should have fixed that. With this it means I have to make my flash file 1920x1080 if I want the quicktime movie to be HD, not a pixel less.
Is there a way to override this? A plug-in or something that wil let me determine the size of the qiucktime movie independetly of the size of the flash file?

  • Photoshop CS4 & Quicktime Export Problem

    I am opening a still image sequence of tif files, each file containing an alpha channel. When I render this to video in Photoshop, I select the Quicktime Animation codec and set it to use Millions of Colors+. This is supposed to allow the inclusion of the alpha channel into the movie. However when I load this movie into Premiere Pro CS4, there is no alpha channel in the movie. Can anyone explain what is wrong?
    thx

  • QuickTime Export Problem

    This is the first time I have attempted to use the HDV function on my Canon XHA1. I had used it for SD many times with FCP 5.1.4 many times with no problem, but I’m having a problem exporting from FCP. Here is a snap shot of my settings in FCP. I think they are OK, but look and see.
    <www.greydogmac.com/settings.jpg>
    The video looks fine in FCP, but when I export using QuickTime Movie, I used “Current Settings” when I exported. When I look at the size of the QuickTime file that was exported the dimensions were 1920 x 1080, even though the current settings in FCP are 1440 x 1080. I have tried other export options with no success.
    What am I doing wrong?

    David,
    Thanks for the response. I guess my question is there anyway for me to correct the distortion. Here is a JPG of how the QuickTime file looks. <www.greydogmac.com/QTclock.jpg>. You will notice that the clock face is elongated and looks distorted.

  • Magic Move + QuickTime Export Problem

    Hey there,
    as I don't have an adapter for my MacBook Pro, I have to export my presentations into QuickTime for school. I use Magic Move often, but it seems to cause problems in some situations. I want to zoom into an image, and then move it afterwards. It works fine in Keynote, but in QuickTime it kind of zooms and moves from one slide to another.
    What's this about and what can I do? Thank you.

    I'll just take my notebook.

  • Quicktime export problem - failed(10)

    Hi there.
    Quicktime V7.1 has suddenly stopped working on my computer. Whenever I try to export, a few seconds after it displays 'calculating time', I get the message Failed(10).
    This seems to be irrespective of the format of the original video or the format and compression I attempt to export to. So far, I have only attempted Quicktime native codecs. Nor does changing the file name or exporting to a different drive help.
    I have uninstalled Flip4Mac as I understand it can be troublesome and I have reinstalled Quicktime 7.1 and restarted.
    No change. Same problem. Please help! Do I have to reinstall the OS?
    Thanks if you can help.
    Ben.

    Bummer.
    Double check your "Pro" status using the QuickTime Sys Prefs.
    Try a different user account. This helps isolate "users" folder issues.
    Don't muck with a bunch of changes unless you want to make even more troubles. Leave things as they are and report back.
    Try exporting to another (new) folder on your user account Desktop.
    If exporting to an external drive make sure it is recognized by Disk Utility app and is properly formatted to receive large files.
    Check "permissions". DU can help there, too.

  • 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.

  • Export problem Illustrator CS4 - help

    Can anyone help? I export a file to JPEG at max quality, anti alias unchecked as I normally do, then open that file in Photoshop, resize and save for web. Has been working perfectly, file is clear on screen when enlarged. Now when I do the same operation, my file in Photoshop is all 'jagged edges'. I did change the anti alias settings in .ai as a test but reset everything, however, now my files will not export clearly. Help.

    Turn off OpenGL in Photoshop's prefs. Sounds like you are seeing the hardware-accelerated texture smoothing that kicks in when zooming.

  • Quicktime export problem - black spots

    Instead of transitions, a number of slides are getting interrupted in the middle by a few seconds of just ablack screen before the slide re-appearing and then going through the transition. This is happening to nearly every slide transition. I have transparency set to "on," I do not know if this may be part of the problem.

    your description doesn't make any sense. Where did you turn transparency "on"...on an object? There's no master switch, but your posts makes it sound like there is.

  • Poor Quality of Photo JPEG Quicktime Export PPro CS4

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    2 Xeon Dual Core 3.2 Ghz
    2 GB RAM
    XP SP3
    Nvidia 8600 GT
    The program that I use for presentation (ProPresenter) prefers Quicktime files rendered in the Photo JPEG format.  I render it from a HDV 1080i 60 time line to a 1280x720 file.
    In CS3 this worked great.  In CS4 when I render it out, the file looks terrible.  I even bumped it to 100% quality (normally I do about 85% in CS3)
    The video has bad posterization and looks like it has been rendered at a low bit rate, which I think may be what is happening.  CS3 didn't let me set the bit rate, and neither does CS4, but 2 minute files took about 700 MB to 1 GB after being exported in CS3.  The resulting files in CS4 are 150 MBs.
    The bit rate option when Photo JPEG and many other Quicktime codecs is selected, is greyed out and cannot be set.
    So what can I do?  I NEED to be able to export to Photo JPEG at high quality.  Why would Premiere not allow me to set a bit rate, but more over, use such a low one?  At least in CS3 it chose a high bitrate for you.
    Am I missing something?  Are others having this problem with Quicktime exports?
    Here is the output from CS3.  Some banding in the bacground gradients, but that's to be expected with JPEG.
    Here is the output from CS4.  Banding is much worse, jaggedy posterization, obvious artifacts.  All of this becomes even more apparent with motion.

    I would like to follow up a little bit.  After talking to my friend, the bitrate problem was addressed in the 4.1 patches and exporting to Photo JPEG at least was fixed, at least that's what he told me and from his description of the problem, I'm quite sure he knew exactly what I was talking about.
    But still, after he listed his annoyances such as the much longer render times, and an interface and timeline playback that just never seems to be quite fast enough to keep up, I long for the simple interface of Premiere 6.5 with updated HD capabilities.  Every step since then has made the interface more unnessarily resource intensive.
    I don't think I'll be upgrading to CS4, sorry Adobe.  Please stop making Premiere for super machines.  I have a very good computer, and it's having trouble running Premiere CS4.  It doesn't NEED to be this resource intensive.  It doesn't have to bog down when it's run on anything but the best of the best computers.
    In a simple A-B-C comparison, the speed of playing an HD clip with a couple effects goes down and down and down as you go from Pro 1.5 -> CS3 -> CS4.  Why?  What other areas are so improved that we need to have such a slowdown of the core?
    Sorry, I'll stop venting now.  I was just so hoping that I could recomend we upgrade to CS4 and solve some of our CS3 problems.

  • CS4 Audio Export Problem

    Hi
    I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks to you all.

  • CS4 Export Problem

    I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing.  The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive.  I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive.  I have looked in temp files but they not there.  Can anyone advise me on this?

    That's done it S.V.  Many thanks!

    I'm a newbie so don't take my word as gospel buuuuttt....
    If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

    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 :-(

  • FCP5 - Problems with Quicktime Export Settings

    Hello -- I'm experiencing trouble when I export a Quicktime file from my FCP5 to burn to a DVD. The DVD, which I burn using iDVD, plays on my computer buut not in my DVD player -- the DVD player doesn't recognize it as a playble DVD.
    I've tested everything -- Regular commercial DVDs work fine in my DVD player, so it's not the DVD player that's broken. I haven't changed anything to do with iDVD. And finally, DVDs of the two types I'm using (Maxwell and TDK brands) once both worked fine in my DVD player when I exported from FCP and burned using iDVD, so it's not the blank DVDs that seem to be at fault.
    The problem seems to have occurred when a friend asked me to change the FCP Quicktime export settings to export a Quicktime file for streaming on the web and also for exporting a motion mpeg file (I'm not even sure what you do with one of those).
    Although I now choose "current settings" when I go to export, because I thought this would give me the old, preset standard settings that worked just fine in the past, I believe the FCP export settings must have gotten messed up, because nothing else has changed with my process, and yet now, the DVDs don't work in the DVD player.
    I am inexperienced/beginner level with the FCP program and don't know how to get back to the correct settings, and hope someone could be kind enough to help me. Especially since the help manual hasn't shed much light on this.
    Many thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

  • Quicktime export failed - out of memory

    After I managed to open AVCHD (MTS) movies with AE CS4 I just tried to export a 2 min movie. I export as H264 1280x720.
    I keep getting this error "quicktime export failed - out of memory"
    It also happend when using SD movies
    I have 2GB ram and a dual core inter E6550.
    Does anyone encountered such problem ?

    Are you rendering and exporting using the render queue, or are you using the Export command in the File menu? You should almost always use the render queue.
    See
    "Rendering and exporting movies using QuickTime components" and
    "About rendering and exporting".

  • Export problems in CS5

    hello, I recently switched to flash cs5,  I'm working on character animations, my problem is everytime I do a quicktime export, the movie generates these unwanted fragments,  like it skips frames and leave's fragments of the graphics on the movie,
    does anyone here knows, how I can fix this? I also have problems with the audio upon export, they don't sync, even if  I had it set to stream on my workspace. - everytime I do the export it mess things up

    I'm really disappointed with Flash CS5, at least when it comes to trying to export in quicktime format. I have a very simple animation I've been working on that runs about 66 seconds. Very simple and minimal animation. The swf file exports flawlessly every time. The quicktime movie NEVER exports right. In fact, it exports totally randomly in terms of what it'll screw up. A word might be missing from a speech ballon in one scene, but if I export it again without making a single change to the file, it'll be there while another word in another speech balloon is missing. Or it'll screw up a simple animation like an eye blinking. I can export the file a dozen times without making a single revision to the fla file, and I'll get a dozen completely different flawed quicktime movies, ranging in severity from one dropped word to total chaos; several dropped frames, scenes overlapping each other, botched animation and artifacts everywhere. It's a total toss of the dice every time.
    I have a 3.33GHz 6-core Xeon MacPro with 24GB of RAM running OS 10.6.5. The only open app is Flash when I try to export. I have a hard time believing the system is taxed with this 66 second simple animation file. I regularly work with photoshop files that exceed 1GB and experience no hang ups with running multiple apps while doing so.
    I visited the tech note that was suggested and tried all of the "solutiions" but nothing has worked. Changing to action script 3, eleminiatng audio, etc., etc. (The custom command script was a disaster.) And seriously, doesn't it raise any flags when I have to go back and use another app to add my audio back in, or change my frame rate after export? I never experienced these problems in CS3. Sadly, I can't even save the file from CS5 to CS3 format, becuase for some reason CS4 is the oldest option available to me. I've wasted HOURS simply trying to export a file that should have taking two hours tops from start to finish. The budget was out the window long ago.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to what else I might try, or a recommendation of a stand alone application for Mac that can convert a swf file into quicktime or other movie formats, I'd appreciate the input.
