Rendering and exporting a QT File

Does it take longer to export an unrendered sequence vs. a rendered sequence?
My client wants his final product in a QT format, so, I thought to speed up the process i would skip the render.

I absolutly agree... it makes much more sense to render a timeline first before exporting. I don't think I've ever exported an unrendered sequence... until yesterday for the little test.
I guess I was imagining the OP having just one timeline to export, as QT movie, not QT conversion... hence the simplicity of my little demo...
He has one long unrendered timeline... does he:
a. render first in FCP then export as QT movie (current settings).
b. export via QT movie (current settings) without rendering.
In this scenario it doesn't seem to make a huge amount of difference... they will both be rendered. It was quicker exporting the unrendered sequence but, it makes sense to render the timeline first though, as you pointed out...
However, the OP did ask for the quickest option... not the smartest option.

Premiere Pro CC - Playback issues, rendering and export

Hello all -
I am trying to edit, render, and export a video for play on YouTube. The source is a Camtasia Studio 8 Screen capture with a 1080P High Defintion PTZ camera that is hooked up to the computer as the "webcam". We recorded the screen, used Camtasia to produce and edit, and saved it as a .MOV
I then transferred the .MOV to my computer and opened Premiere Pro CC. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos and have a read a lot of threads, so I decided that a simple edit job would be the easiest and fastest. I have attempted this 3 times now, each try has been a failure.
Attempt 1:
Opened a new project. Imported my video. Dropped it into a sequence. Added an opening and closing title card, plus lower third captions to video, and added transitions. Playback was choppy, so I read that it needed to be rendered. I rendered the sequence (it took most of the evening). When I went to play it back, I just got footage that said "Media pending" in 7 different languages.
Attempt 2: I decided not to render, just export. Followed the steps above, but instead of rendering, and exported it. I exported as media file, chose the TechSmith Capture Codec, and .AVI as the format. Let it do it's thing. The result was very fuzzy, plus the audio was about 10 seconds out of sync from the video.
Attempt 3: I didn't get very far here, because when I started playback to check my audio syncing, my computer started flipping between Premiere and my desktop, just swtiching back and forth.
Any help here, suggestions, would be very much appreciated. I need to post this video for work as soon as I can.

Very slow Rendering and Exporting

Hello,
I switched to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7 after FCPX came out and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better for certain tasks.
In others, it's not. Initially playing back "red-lined" content worked fine and i was able to view the edit before I committed to render/export.
Now, I see every 10 frames or so and it skips and stutters. Rendering and exporting times have spiked dramatically over the past month
for some unknown reason. I have a small prod company and we're using Mac Pro's (8-Core) with min of 16GBs of RAM in each.
I know there are 101 factors that go into export time, I'm just wondering if anyone if encountering the same issues.
I just pieced together a 10-min video in FCP7, all ProRes files with minimal cutting and it exported in 2.5 minutes.
The same project on Premiere was telling me 3 hours. I don't get it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Dan

Rendering times are not decided purely on the length of the video.
The type of effects you have added have more impact.
Also you cannot always trust the estimated time you are given.
Have you let it render for about an hour to see whether the estimate drops dramatically?

General error in FCP re: rendering and export after Quicktime 7.5.5 update

Hi
My FCP 6.0.4 rendering and export to Compressor no longer works after an update to Quicktime 7.5.5.
Rendering fails after a few seconds "General Error!" pops up. Exporting to Compressor, after setting it compressing, Compressor after a few seconds fails. (audio is processed) My current work around is exporting a sequence using Quicktime conversion (time consuming) and then opening in Compressor.
I've done the usual, deleting prefs, new sequences and projects, even saving movs in different codecs.
(been using H.264)
My sequences are all custom sizes but tests using presets also fail.
Any ideas anyone?
And I was so happy the Quicktime upgrade could play sequence movs recorded months earlier that until now I couldn't play properly due to previous Quicktime upgrades!
Apple gives with one hand and takes with the other....

Hi There,
Thanks for your reply on this.
Well basically since I'm using content already in the H.254 codec (eg: a trailer off the internet, or the downsizing of HD footage) i'm just exporting to a codec that didn't have to be rendered and gave quality results. I used motion jpeg B as an export codec because it was quick (although HD space hungry) with no drop in quality. The resulting exports could be imported into a custom sequence (720 x 405) as square pixel aspect ratio files. Overlapping the canvas with other windows (eg: viewer) meant I could play a clip (with dropped frames) but not have to render it. I selected the H.264 codec as the sequence codec because I've found other codecs introduce darkening or lightening or blurring or other undesirable artefacts when exported to Compressor. H.264 used in the sequence settings exported through Compressor would give resulting m2v's as sharp and contrast accurate as the source file.
That was until the recent 7.5.5 Quicktime update where attempts to do the same things I did before result in "General Error!" coming up after a few seconds of play or rendering.
Traditional DV codecs are "blurry" in my opinion, especially when coping with web content or conversion of HD downloads.
If you can suggest an editing codec that works best with FCP that is quick, doesn't introduce blurring or general degrading of the image I'd be happy to try it out. I typically downsize HD content from the web for DVD playback, so it's usually in a H.264 codec already. So i would need a codec for export from Quicktime that would work best with a codec in FCP. That doesn't alter picture quality when compressed to m2v in Compressor.
Thanks!

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

@Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

Quick question about rendering and exporting with multiple presets

Probably a very simple question but I'm pretty new to PPro, so I'd appreciate your help...
I've got an uncompressed AVI video that I want to export to mp4 using several presets (that means several exports). What I intend to do is the following:
I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset and without rendering go to export media, select my export setting, and put it in the encoding queue at the Media Encoder. Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue. I repeat this for as many times as presets as I want to apply. At the end I have created (in no more than 2-3 minutes) several exports in the Adobe Media Encoder queue, that I can launch and go and do something else while encoding...
My question: will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered? if it does not work, would that work if I were to do this with each preset applied on a different sequence, even without rendering?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset.
Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue.
Does "apply the preset" mean selecting an encoding preset
before sending the Sequence to the Queue?
If I understand what you are trying to do...
It sounds like you want to do multiple, different format
exports from the same Premiere Sequence.
If so...
I would Queue the Sequence to Media Encoder once from Premiere,
then duplicate the entry in the Queue (Ctrl+D) and assign the
different encode types to the duplicates in Media Encoder,
(instead of Queueing the Sequence multiple times).
...will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered?
A Sequence will be encoded using the assigned settings.
You can set multiple encodes in the Queue, each with different settings.
I'm not sure what you mean by "even though it was not rendered...".
Unless you have specified 'Use Preview Files' in your encoding,
it will make no difference if your Sequence is 'Timeline Preview'
rendered or not.

Slow renders and exports.

Jello,
I have a standard config, 2x2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
It has only 2 GB of RAM.
I am editing HDV 1080p footage for output of the same encoding.
It recently dawned on me that my render and export processes might be significantly expedited by an increase in my RAM.
Yes, no? Why, why not?
Glad to answer any questions, just want to make sure I make the right move.
RAM cheap, but it ain't that cheap.
Out,

I have the same Mac Pro with 10GB RAM but I'm also disappointed. I'm rendering VOB files (ie only the audio needs fixing) and it's taking looong. The activity monitor says the processor is only using 9%.
However, when I use MPEG Streamclip for conversions I see that the activity monitor shows how it is using real raw power, unlike FCP.

How to restrict users from printing documents and exporting to local file

Hi SAP gurus,
I have two questions.
1. How can I restrict users from printing a document? i.e. billdoc? I would like to know if I could block it though authorization. If yes, what auth obj to use?
2. How to restrict certain users from exporting to local file? the System> List>Save-->Local File. I have tried restricting it using auth object S_GUI but it seems it is only applicable to older versions of SAP. im on ecc6.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Check this:
Create your own gui status and attach it to the list in the event START-OF-SELECTION.
In the menu painter extra -> adjust template.
Make it a list status and you will see all the standard list options appear including list->download
Deactivate the ones you don't want.
If you just want to prevent users from downloading the list you can achieve this with authorization object S_GUI, activity 61. Menu option will still be there though.
Please note that if you remove authorisation for S_GUI activity 61 then all downloads will not be possible.
If you just want to disable downloads only for a particular report, you can try this test program:
Code:
REPORT ztest.
DATA: PROGNAME LIKE SY-CPROG value 'Z_CHECK_AUTH',
        FORMNAME LIKE SY-XFORM value 'F_CHECK_AUTH'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SET_DOWNLOAD_AUTHORITY'
         EXPORTING
              FORM    = FORMNAME
              PROG    = PROGNAME
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS = 1.
WRITE: / 'TEST'.
You also need this:
Code:
PROGRAM z_check_auth.
FORM f_check_auth USING pe_result TYPE i.
pe_result = 5.
ENDFORM.
Also have a look at the exit SGRPDL00.
Hope this helps you.

Import and export of word files with references (iPAD)

Hi,
Does Pages for iPAD supports importing and exporting of files with references generated by the prog "ENDNOTE" (http://www.endnote.com/). it s a must for grants and papers writing.
is their any way to ask the apple guys directly (new to the apple world...)
Thanks,

Pages for iPad does not support export/import of Endnote references in the form of formatted bibliography.

Yes, indeed, feedback directly to Apple is possible
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
While Pages does not currently import/export and preserve the Endnote formatted bibliography, another app known as Documents to go does; there is not citation software for adding references though, but preservation is good.

Silence added to the end of 1 of 2 songs that were "split" and exported as .aif files.

Hey folks,
I have 2 songs that run seamlessly (ideally) together. When splitting them apart in garageband and exporting them seperately as .aif files, I find that the first song ends up with about 4 seconds of silence at the end, while the other does not. This obviously affects their ability to run smoothly together in playback. I've tried doing this a couple different times but have only had luck when sending the songs directly to iTunes as a compressed file. Any ideas?
Thanks

Import from dsv files and export to csv files

hi every body..
how can I create a project in NetBeans which does:
1- import a .dsv (Delimiter-Separated Values) file content and save it to array
- the values in this format separated by fixed commas
example
"AIG" "Insurance" "64.91" "25/11/06"
2- export into .csv file (Comma Separated Value)
-the values in this format separated by commas
example:
AIG,Insurance,64.91,25/11/06

Well, you need to learn Java so you can read files, divide the data by the delimiters, and then write it out as a csv file.
Can't really give better instructions than that...maybe start by reading the basic tutorials?
We don't give out full program code here so you'll need to ask more precise questions. Such as what is it that you're having problems with.

How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file. It keeps reverting back to the original.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
