Ref movie slow export, like it is rendering

I have assembled some 640x480 Animation Codec clips in a 640x480 Animation Codec sequence. The goal is to export to QuickTime so that I can compress (and resize to 720x480) in Compressor and then add to a DVD Studio Pro project.
Some clips needed some help with speed changes and transitions, so I rendered all of that. In fact I selected all of the options in Sequence -> Render All... to be sure the sequence get entirely rendered and when I press Option-R. Pressing Option-R flashes the progress bar on and off to suggest the sequence is all rendered, nothing more to do. The places where there was red render bars now slows bluish render bars. That means rendered, right?
Yet when I export a video-only QuickTime reference movie, the progress seems to slow as it gets to the parts of the timeline where the blue render bars are, like it is rendering during the export. Why would it do this if I rendered everything first? In fact to prove that something is going on during the export, the reference movie is clearly not just a reference movie, the movie that is created in the end is over 14GB in size.
Any suggestions for how to set up sequence in a case like this, export the reference movie quickly and into a small file size (like you'd expect a ref movie to be)?

Jerky Ref Movie QT Export

I have a sequence with the following settings under Sequence-> Settings:
1920x1080
HD-TF 1080i (19:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dom: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
QT Video Setting: Apple ProRes 422
I then Save as Ref Movie File->Quicktime Export: current settings
The ProRes files that I am editng play great in QT, and in the sequence, but when
I play the ref movie it is very jerky. Any convertion i try with Compressor is jerky as well,
but since the ref movie is jerky I would expect Compressor to do that same.
would like to be able to produce a ref movie that is not jerky.
Thank you for your help

FCP quits when exporting ref movie or self contained

This one has be pulling my hair out. When I try to export an hour long project, FCP quits about half way in. Doesn't seem to matter if it is a ref movie or self contained. I get the unexpectedly quit window. I have no idea how to fix this. It is extremely frustrating. Any ideas?
Best.

Don't use an XDCAM sequence setting. Mixing that format with ANY OTHER FORMAT causes issues. I have had 3 jobs in the last 2 weeks that were HDV and XDCAM, and when they were in their native timeline settings, with other footage and graphics mixed in, I had HORRID times exporting and outputting. The solution? Changing the sequence compressor to ProRes, and rendering again. Then the projects exported fine.
So my rule #1 when dealing with HDV or XDCAM, is to edit in a ProRes sequence...all the time. No matter what. Dealing with GOP native, when you add other things like stills or other footage, is cause for nightmare issues. That GOP format is just too whacky to deal with.

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HDV export as QT ref movie is an incompatible format in DVDSP

Just in case anyone runs into this:
I have a 15 min. program edited HDV 1080i 60. Sequence setting is set to handle renders as ProRes 422. No prob so far, edits, plays fine. I export as a QT reference movie. Still ok. Try to import into DVDSP and I get an "unable to import, incompatible format" error. Huh? Ok, back to FCP. Now I export QT movie again, this time instead of using the default of >setting >current settings I try Apple ProRes 422 HQ 1080 60i 48Khz. Now it imports into DVDSP.
In FCP audio in the sequence setting is showing up as 32 bit floating point. (can't change this) Source audio is 16 bit integer. It's the only thing I can figure. Ideas?

ref movie both times. It took 2 hours to make the ref movie, I can't imagine how much time a self contained movie would take. I think it's taking so long because I'm using a modified template from Motion in several places.

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

Put silent audio in exported QT ref movie

I have a number of sequences that has no audio.
These sequences should be put on DVD, and I've understood that you need to have audio in your DVD Tracks, even if it's silent.
Now, what's the easiest way to achieve this?
Put audio slug on all sequences and then export as QT ref move, for later compression?
Or, can I somehow tell FCP to capture the audio, without actually capturing it? (The latter would be most convenient, then I don't have to create ref movies, but can use the footage file directly in my compression software).

I've understood that you need to have audio in your DVD Tracks, even if it's silent.
Where do you get that idea? Never heard of such a thing...
Or, can I somehow tell FCP to capture the audio, without actually capturing it?
Uh...what are you trying to do? you are talking about completely different things here...capturing and exporting for DVD.

Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 647/ / / /L/ /

Guyz,
Firstly despite the plant+storage location + warehouse no. assignments are done , my replenishment delivery (delivery for stock transport order between plants under same company code) is not picking up storage location and warehouse no and thus stopping me from doing picking and PGI (post goods issue).
However in VL02N when i'm trying to change storage location for line item, i'm getting following weird error
*Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 647/ / / /L/ /*
I found a SAP Note(133223) regarding this error and VL02 transaction but that note was specific to older versions. I'm on ECC 6.0
Any suggestions please ?
Thanks

Warehouse managment has its own movement types, most identical to inventory management movement types.
These WM movement types are determined via reference movement types.
the error you have just looks like your customizing is not complete.

Error messag -'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S:'

Hi Guys,
I am currently facing some issues with respect to the deliver creation.
The scenario is somthing like this.
I have assigned a FOC Item category to an Consignment Issue order type.
The system is able to determine the Item category successfully.
However when the delivery is created it throws an error message
'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 903/X/X/W/L/X/'
Not sure why this occurs.
All the settings seem to be set.
If any one of you can help me out it would be great.
Thanks.
Regards,
Pandi

Dear Pandiraj
The standard process is that consignment issue order should be created with reference to Proforma invoice. Having said that I dont understand why you have assigned a FOC item category to issue order. Not sure, whether this will work. Also I feel that you should explain in detail the process for which you are configuring this.
thanks

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop. Only 1:08 seconds exports. I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08. Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try. The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

The will.
Or at least they can, and do, sometimes, if you have good MOV karma..
Why not supply a little more info, like:
* Which OS
* Which version of Lightroom
* History of MOV files.
* Export format.
* Do other video types export OK
* How many different MOV files have you tried - all with the same history?
and of course:
* What, exactly, happens, when you try?

Render for a ref. movie?

I exported my sequence, 10bit 422, as a reference movie. The odd thing that happens is when I drop it into the sequence, it says it needs to render?
It was exported as simply a QT movie, not self contained, using the Current settings.
The anomoly is, I took a simple 10 sec chunk to test first and that dropped back in fine no render needed. Why would the longer 16 minute section need a render when the two were done the exact same way?

CCE = CinemaCraft Encoder.
Of course I realise that exporting a ref movie is quicker than a self-contained movie.
I now understand that exporting to AVI with DV means re-compression of all frames, which you don't have to do if you export a QT movie with DV codec. (Not sure why, the AVI is just a container...)
I normally use DVDSP for authoring and BitVice for compressing, but CCE give a good result in about real-time. The BV takes about 10 times real-time to encode to MPEG-2.

No vendor defined in Table T321 for ref. movement type 632

Hello Friends,
We are facing strage issue during trasfer movement from SAP ECC to SAP WM, the scenario is as follows -
For the Consignment returns (from Consignment stock to warehouse), we are using 632 movement type of transfer movement transaciton MB11. When executing the document, system showing the following error message -
No vendor defined in Table T321 for ref. movement type 632
We checked the entries, I am not able find the problem...Please suggest
Apreciate your feedback. Thanks
Best Regards,
Goutham

looks like your WM is defined as decentralized system.
The message number is L9 524
And system expects vendor number for the inbound deliveries.
I wonder anyhow why you are using MB11 transaction for 632 movement (which is an automatic movement triggered from a SD document)
