Saving HD projects to AVI?

I just finished a couple of HD project (1920 x 1080 square pixels) in After Effects CS3.
I'm experimenting with saving as an AVI container and I'm just wondering which formats/codecs work best on Windows for playback in the windows media player.
I'm also wanting to stream the videos from my Windows XP to my Xbox 360 in HD and I'm searching for a compatible format. I have been able to expor to H.264 with an m4v container and it plays back in quicktime.
Anyone have any suggestions or tutorials on this?
Thanks
FOO

no need for tutorials.
H264 (quicktime format i'd prefer in general) is fine.
PS3 accepts DivX without any hassles, even progressive formats! buy it and have fun ;)
PS: i mean, buy DivX Codec :)

Premiere pro 5.5 stops working when playing a sequence, saving a project or closing,any ideas why?

I can open a project, import files or other projects, but when I want to play the sequence the program stops working and closes. When I try to save the project or close the program I get a "software not responding" message.
I hope someone can help me with this as I cannot work on any projects.
thanks.

Hi john,
thanks for taking the time to help me. I have updated the software and rendered the files and now I am able to play them, but still neither the sequence nor the clip play/show on the corresponding screens, I can only hear the audio file. I also continue having problems when saving the project, the software stops working and I get the "non responding" error from microsoft.
As you suggested, and I have to say I am pretty much a dummy with the codecs and alike, I installed the mediainfo and run one of the files.
This is the info that appears on the screen
I am not getting any error messages from Premiere, so I am kind of stock. If you need other info let me know.
Thanks for your help and patience.

Issue while saving the project plans into XML

Hi,
Could anyone of you please help me here.
We are having one custom field(Type: Text) in the project level(Custom field name: ProjectComments) and end users are entering the data against this custom field more than 200 characters.
The problem here is when we are saving the project plans into XML and opening the same file again thorugh MPP, the data for this custom field(ProjectComments) is showing till 129 Characters only. Seems to be the data is truncating till 129 charachers.
Could anyone suggest me how to resolve this issue without trucnating the characters in the custom fields.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue with Project Pro 2010 SP2. Which SP do you have? How is configured your custom field?
Hope this helps,

How to make a good quality 8 Giga DVD out of a Project in AVI of 14 Gigas?I have a film in a proyect

How to make a good quality 8 Giga DVD out of a Project in AVI of 14 Gigas?
I have a film in a proyect made with a miniDV camera in my old Premiere 6.5
It has 68 minutes and after exporting it with the Microsoft DV AVI compressor in 100 % quality and not compressing the audio, it ended in an AVI of 14 Gigas.
I would like to obtain a DVD of the best quality in audio and video possible. How can I do it? SHOULD I EXPORT IT FROM THE PREMIERE 6.5 WITH ANOTHER COMPRESSOR OR IN LESS THAN 100% QUALITY WITH THE SAME DV AVI COMPRESSOR ? my INTENTION IS TO USE THE NERO VISION AFTERWARDS... I HAVE THE NERO VISION 4...-. FROM 2007- WOULD IT BE OK OR IS THERE A BETTER ONE? - I know there are newer ones...but better?
I HAVE POSTED THIS A FEW DAYS AGO. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE THAT REPIED. BUT I THINK MY QUESTION IS NOTFULLY ANSWERED YET.
i NEED THE BEST QUALITY I CAN GET, EVEN WHITH MY PREMIERE 6.5, BECAUSE IT IS A FEATURE FILM THAT TOOK ME SEVERAL YEARS AND THIS LAST REMAKE IS NOW READY AFTER TOO MUCH WORK.
THANKS A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Thanks for your replys and sorry for being so fussy about this.
I have now seen that one of the options for exporting from Premiere 6.5 is Adobe MPEG encoder. So Do you guys think it would be a good idea to do it with that, Or Would it be better AVI or DV AVI compressor from Premiere before making the DVD?
I have the Nero Vision 4.9.6.6 But I may be able to look for another one if you think it is better...
Thanks a lot for your advises...

Error while saving BPM Project to MDS: BPM-70801 : Metadata operation failed

Dear All,
I am working on BPM 11g.
I installed the following products for BPM 11g

Overall Installation is successful wth no issues.
Configuration of Weblogic server for domain is ok with admin server, soa_server1 and bam_server1 with test connections is ok.
I am using browser as Internet Explorer 9
In Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 after creating application, project and process
From BPM MDS Navigator I configured the connection for Database 11g XE as well using
Override Application Server user/password
For SOA MDS I included the dev_mds user with MDS partition as obpm
tested connections all ok (weblogic and soa_server1 up and running)
In Jdeveloper I am able to export the BPM successfully.
In the BPM Project Navigator when I use the Project --> SalesQuote.jpr --> right clicking with

"Error while saving BPM Project to MDS: BPM-70801 : Metadata operation failed".
If the error is resolved than I can see the project in BPM composer.
My queries on this error are
1) Has soa_server anything to do with this error
2) Is dev_mds schema to be reviewed
what can be the possibility to resolve the BPM-70801 error.
Please provide the solution ASAP or send me the reply to my [email protected]
Regards
Ajaz Ahmed

Hello Ajaz,
BPM-70801 is a very generic error that can have multiple causes. Please provide the error log from servers log file. From what I understand, you are using a separate soa_server1, so watch out /your_domain/servers/soa_server1/logs/soa_server1.log

tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

Error occured while Saving The Project

I have a project that is giving me a 'unknown error occurred while saving the project. Select 'Save As' from the file menu and save the project to a new location'.
It would seem that maybe it's saying that it's out of room but I'm saving on a harddisk that has over 1T of space left. I tried to do as they said and create another folder and save in a new location but it gives me the same error.
Has anyone dealt with this.? I have a wedding project that I can't make any changes to. It was doing this before and after I updated to Adobe 4.2.
Using:
Adobe Premiere Cs4
Matrox RXT2
6 Rams of memory
4T system
Windows Vista 64 Bit
Nividia GEForce 9600

Going back some time, another user (do not recall Matrox on the system) had a similar issue. The workaround in that case was to use Save_As and just increment the file name. Now, I do not recall any real "fix," and for another user, the Save_As resulted in the same behavior, so it was not a universal workaround.
Good luck, and please report your findings,
Hunt

What's actually IN a saved iDVD project?

After upgrading to iLife '06, I wanted to burn a new copy of an iMovie project I first put on iDVD a few weeks ago. I've never done this before; always burned all copies at once.
When I open the named/saved iDVD project (both from within Documents and via Open Recent), it shows me empty Drop Zones and a blank menu. Where's the theme/audio etc. I put together when I first created the project?
Thanks.

It is easiest to duplicate a video-DVD with Toast (i.e. a 3rd party app).
With the Disk Utility it is very easy to accidentally burn a data-DVD (instead of a video-DVD), so follow these instructions strictly:
- Using Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.3 and higher):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
1. Insert the DVD-R video disc that you created with iDVD into the SuperDrive.
2. Open the Disk Utility application (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility).
3. Select the disc (not just the disc session) you want to copy from the listing.
4. From the Images menu, choose New and the choose Image from "your disk name".
5. Type a file name and choose "DVD/CD Master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.
6. Click the Create button. After the image has been created you should see it in the disk listing in the Disk Utility window.
7. Eject the DVD-R video disc.
8. Select the disk image you created from the listing (that *.img is also mounted on the Desktop).
9. Click the Burn icon in the toolbar.
10. When prompted, insert a blank DVD-R disc.
11. Click the Burn button.

PROBLEM SAVING A PROJECT

Adobe Premier CS6: I can't save the project to another hard drive for safety. I've tried with large projects and then with small ones as that didn't work.
I start with the Project Manager, "collect files and copy project to a new location" and I rendered all the sequences first, then saved the project, then tried to export. It seems to go through all the motions, says "copying files" etc., and finally it says "unable to copy files due to an unknown error".
I've tried saving to two different drives. When I look in the destination folders they are empty. What am I doing wrong! I worry about my drives developing faults and then all my work will be lost. I need to save these projects somewhere safe!!
Any ideas folks? I'm not exactly an expert on computers by the way.
Alan

You can use the Project Manager for archiving Projects,
or you can simply copy your .prproj file
along with all of the project's associated media files.

After a recent clean install, unable to open all tracks / instruments in saved GB projects.

Hi
Since a clean install about a month ago, I am unable to open all saved Garageband projects without tracks or instruments missing and GB wanting to search for the files missing.
I am not sure if this is something to do with 10.8.2 or more recently with 10.8.3 or a problem installing from the oringal DVD and chaning the date my mac. I had so many problems previously trying to install iPhoto from the DVD I have now bought the app from the App Store.
Thanks in advance.

After I saved my project in Premiere Pro, a few hours later I can't open my project anymore, what can I do?

After I saved my project in Premiere Pro, a few hours later I can't open my project anymore, what can I do?

We need waaaaaaay more information. Here's the stock request for info to provide: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
And here are essential particulars:
Win or Mac? Exactly which version?
Version of Premiere Pro -- the exact number as shown in the About box.
What exactly happens when you try to open the project? Do you get an error message? Does Premiere crash? Hang?
How exactly are you attempting to open it? By double-clicking on the project file? By launching Premiere and selecting the project from the list of recently opened ones? ...
Can you create a new project?

Logic Pro Froze in the middle of saving a project.

Logic Pro Froze in the middle of saving a project. It stayed that way for 30 minutes. When I forced quit, it did not save the project, and my last save was an hour previous (including project backup files). Is there a way to recover what I did, or has that hour of work been lost?

Accept it and forget, it is lost for ever.
But.........your new ideas will surpass anything you did before!, I'm sure!
Have a nice day!

Why does SAVING a project cause a delay/freeze in Premiere Pro CC?

EASY steps to re-create the issue:
1) Enable GPU Accleration in your Project Settings.
2) Create TWO sequences and add a bunch of clips to your timeline in EACH sequence.
3) Apply an effect like "Warp Stabilizer" to all those clips (or, if you have like 30 short clips add it to say half of them) on each of the two sequences.
4) Wait for the effect to finish working/stabilizing and you'll notice the render bar where the effect was added gradually turns from RED back to YELLOW for smooth playback.
5) You can now toggle back and forth between the two sequences easily and play, edit, etc. All is well at this point...
6) BUT!!!!...once you save the project (or if the project AUTO-SAVES) then now when you toggle back to the other sequence the render bar has returned to RED and you have to WAIT for it to turn YELLOW again which sometimes can take anywhere from a several seconds to 1/2 a minute or even more (depending on how many effects (warp stabilizers in my case) you've added). During this delay, you cannot work or even play the video on BOTH timelines. Once it switches back to YELLOW you can work like normal...until it's saved again.
NOTE#1: If you toggle OFF GPU Acceleration for the project and set it to "Software ONLY" then this issue/delay does NOT occur.
NOTE #2: Another pain is that to save the project above takes upwards of 45 seconds!!!! When I turn off GPU Accleration, saving takes only up to a few seconds. Imagine have to stop work and wait 45 seconds every time your project auto-saves!
This delay above is a real pain when I have multiple sequences with effects and after every time I save the project (or after it's auto-saved) I have to initially sit and wait 30 seconds or more sometimes when I go between sequences.
Why does simply saving a project trigger this issue/delay?
Is this a bug that I should report?
I've tested this on 2 different Mac computers (2011 iMac w/ AMD6970M (1GB VRAM) GPU as well as the supported 2012 Macbook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650M GPU w/ 1GB VRAM) with the same results.

Booo.
Well, thanks Ann for testing and confiming the issue on a PC as well.
Bug report submitted.
Bummer.

Flash Pro CC saved fla project - "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged."

Hi all, I've been working on a project in Flash Professional CC in windows 7 that was started in a previous version of Flash Pro and occasionally after I've saved the project and tried to open it the next day I get the "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." message and only a blank Scene 2 in the project. I've previously been reverting back to the old saved project file and starting over. Its wasted a lot of time so far.
I can still open the same exact project in CS6 on another older computer but not in CC. I can also save the fla in CS6, transfer it to the other computer and then it will work again (for now). This isn't going to be an option in the future as CS6 was a trial version that is on its last use today.
I've tried to create a new flash pro cc project and just copied and pasted the library and scene layout from the old project into the new project. This worked for a couple of saves/ opens but the error has happened again. I'm scared that now that I've reached the point in the project were my work in the animation/ visual side will start to be more intensive that I will continuosly have to worry about losing all of my work. I'm using a document class so the AS3 code hasn't been an issue thankfully. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Amy, that is essentially what I am doing already only I'm not using version control software I'm just managing it on my own since its a solo project, though I have been considerring using git anyway. It still doesn't explain why I can open and save the supposedly damaged project (according to CC) in CS6 and only then will it work again in CC. Also I'm not gettting a chance to save as a new version over and over for long. Its only a couple of days max, usually just over one day, and I've primarily been working on the code in Flash Builder with little functional change in the actual fla project. Its primarily changing movieclips instance names, which in this project is tedious and time consuming. Having to revert back to the older working version is exaclty what I'm trying to avoid. I shouldn't have to commit the project to a repository every little change that I make to the fla file.
