Saving project as MP4 file or .mov file
I want to burn my finished project as a DVD but my burning program needs it to be in a .mov or MP4 format. Can I save my project as such??
kevinbwatkins
Thanks for the reply.
The project file is the project.prel. You cannot change the project file (project.prel file) into a project.mp4 or project.mov file.
But, what is possible is to export the Timeline content of that project.prel file to a file whose format has a .mp4 or .mov file extension.
For Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, I would suggest
for the .mp4
Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 NTSC DV Widescreen - using default export settings
for the .mov
Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9 - using default export settings
If you have a HD source on your Timeline and your destination is a DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc, you forced into the
properties of the DVD-VIDEO product, namely 720 x 480 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (with 16:9 flag stretching
the 720 x 480 to 856 x 480 for display after encoding).
But, if you have a HD source in this project that just produced the DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc, you can opt to export
a file with the same resolution as the DVD or export to a file with a resolution comparable to the HD source. Please clarify and
we can fine tune the suggested export setting accordingly.
Thank you.

When I attempt to save projects as QT files, the audio information seems to be missing although I checked the box for "include audio source file".
Does anyone know why? And which preference I need to set to save the project so that the audio information isn't missing? This doesn't seem to be a problem when I save the audio information ONLY.back to the QT file-
By doing this, then one has to RECOMPRESS the QT file again- whereas I just want to save a new audio track along with the QT file as I don't want to lose another generation by recompression.
I think the problem is that I just want to change the audio on the QT file- but when attempting to save the QT file- the audio component is missing. Is there a way to remedy this without having to recompress the QT file? -
Saving Projects and Organizing Files
I am having trouble storing my Sites in folders and accessing
them after I've done so. As described in the DW tutorial, I saved
the test Site (Cafe Townsend), to a folder called Local_Sites.
However, when I created a NEW Site and also tried to Save it in the
Local_Sites folder, DW told me that it would create a conflict. (In
Windows you can save many documents to one folder. Can I only save
one Site to a folder in DW?) To get around the problem, I created a
folder called Local_Sites2. When I named my next Site ("Exciting
Web Site"), and put it in Local_Sites2, and moved my mouse over the
folder, DW showed a long path (C:/........), and showed the name as
"Local_Sites2/Exciting Web Site." Finally, at other times when I
looked for a Site that I created it didn't show in DW dialog boxes.
(I notice that some folders show as green, and some as yellow). I
would like to be able to store my Sites correctly, give them root
names I intend, and retrieve the sites when I want to. Any ideas
would be appreciated. Thanks.It would not be out of place to say that the F1 Help files
have a full and
comprehensive explanation of sites, and how to define
them....

For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos. Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960. For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format. They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto). When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out. And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos. I also installed Perian and rebooted.
In case it helps:
- I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
- QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
- VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
Any ideas? This is incredibly frustrating!Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format. -
Premiere CC crashing when MP4 files in timeline?
I have a project that keeps freezing up whenever I try to play MP4 files in the timeline. Other codecs aren't having any issues, and this wasn't a problem with the previous version of Premiere CC.
It seems to be the newest version of Premiere CC that crashes every time a certain mp4 file plays in the timeline. The previous version of Premiere CC didn't crash with the same project and mp4 file. It has only started crashing since the v8 update. It crashes about 10-20 seconds every time it plays through the file.
Haven't installed any additional codec packs that I'm aware of. -
Mp4 files as reference movie only?
Hi
I have several mp4 files created out of a PPro sequence. It's impossible to use QTPro to either export (result is not playable / all white 8KB file), save as (both Self Contained & Reference movie options show to be 13 KB), edit (clipboard empty after copying segments) or export using MPEG Streamclip ( Error: Can't prepare file).
Inspector:
AVC Coding 1280x720
50fps
no audio
I'd like to further export & edit the file in QTPro
Any solutions?
Thanksyes.... the timeline is completely rendered... and the files are located on my WD 500gig external Harddrive.
It appears to be a reference movie. The 14 gig file I have created and saved on the desktop will not play when the external drive is ejected from the computer.
I had a major FCP crash last week working on a project with the desk top G5. I was not able to get the program to reopen. I read here on the boards to trash the prefs. and that worked to get FCP to reopen.
This week I got a new macbook pro. I migrated from the g5 and it seesm waht ever problem I encountered on the G5 has migrated to the macbook. I am re-installing FCP fresh today to see if that solves the problem on the macbook.
This also seesm to have messed with the compresor program. I have several (10-13gig) one hour SD video files captured (raw) that I sent to compressor last week to export as QT7 download 300Kbps. Those files took a reasonable amount of time. NOw this week I try again and the same files are taking over 6 hours to compress.
I wonder if I have a larger overall computer issue here.
Thank for the help so far!

I am working on a project and shot guerilla style footage with a Go Pro camera, which produced .MP4 files incompatible with FCP7. When I converted the files to .MOV, I realized the rendering time in the sequence editor is impossibly long. I am working with a deadline and the rendering time exceeds the deadline, let alone editing time. Suggestions???
Telling us you converted to .mov doesn't tell us much. MOV is a container that supports a very wide range of codecs. It is the specific CODEC that matters.
You most likely did not convert the material to a FCP7 native format. ProRes is recommended and, given the compression of the GoPro, ProRes LT would be the best choice.
Use Compressor to convert everything to ProResLT and life will be much simpler.

Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:
4.08GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 2
MP4 File is as follows:
3.02GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1280 x 720
Duration: 12:33

I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.

"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,

Creating MP4 file from my Premiere Elements 11 Project
I am publishing my elements11 project as a mp4 file, and gets "Error compiling movie. Unkown error. Can someone assist with reason and fix for error? If I render the project in timeline view, I do not get an error, but when I am trying to Publish/Share it, the software does not want to compile the movie.

Thanks for the follow up. Great news with regards to the mini test troubleshooting. In view of what seemed to help turn things around in that case, cropping and resizing of photos used in the original should be top of your troubleshooting list.
As for project preset and such....The project preset should match the properties of your source media.
Are you saying that your source media is:
PAL AVCHD 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second.
The project preset is set up to be set by the program based on the properties of the first video clip to the Timeline. So, if you do not intervene, the program should be setting your project preset at:
PAL/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p24
when you drag that AVCHD 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second clip to the Timeline as the first clip to the Timeline.
If it does not, then you set it manually File Menu/New/Project, making sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" before existing the New Project dialog.Then you import this file with the program's Add Media.
The major contribution of the project preset is to direct the program to set the correct space in the Edit Mode monitor (in this case 1920 x 1080) from which to edit. So the frame rate does not becomes a deal breaker if it is not 24 progressive frames per second unless you are doing frame to frame editing. But, these project presets have other subtle as well as obvious affects on project settings. So best go with the best match between project preset and source media properties.
That does not necessarily tie you into a particular export.
Please review the original project's settings and Timeline content arrangements. You might have to start cutting up a copy of the original project in a search for an offending clip or effect or transition or other.
Please review.
Congratulations with your success with troubleshooting on the mini test run.
.Looking forward to further developments.
Thanks.

I am creating a DVD and made some home movies (VHS) into .mov files. I was thinking that if I converted them into mp4 files, they would be a lot smaller. I converted one of them already and it seemed to degrade the quality a little.......I guess due to the compression ? The .mov files aren't super huge, but I was wondering if all four of them might not fit on the DVD. How much can I put on there?
I wanted to put each one on the DVD where you could click on the one you wanted to watch.
Just trying to get a little input and advice from people who have done this.
I used iDVD about a year ago for a small little project, but haven't done one this size before.
Thank you for any help.Scott:
iDVD is concerned with total playing time, including menus, of the source material. You can get 120 minutes of playing time on a single layered DVD by using the Professional Quality or High Quality settings.
You can create 4 slideshows in iDVD by using the "+" button at the bottom and select Slideshow from the drop down menu. Then open each slideshow in turn and drag one of your movie files into it. This will let iDVD scale the movie to the TV Safe area like it does with slideshows from still photos. Be sure to set iDVD's slideshow preferences to always scale slides to TV safe area.
When you're ready to burn the project do a File->Save as Disk Image first. That will let you mount the disk image and play it with DVD Player to check the encoding (and typos-my biggest problem) before you commit it to disk. Once you're satisfied with the disk image you can burn it to disk with Disk Utility.
As long as the total playing time of the 4 movies is less than 120 minutes you're good to go.

My iBook project will not open. It is saved as an .iba file.
I Am in the middle of making an iBook project but it will not open. It is saved as an .iba file. When I go to open it it says it can't be openEd is there anything I can do to open it?
Your post says you are using iMovie 08. In iMovie 08, a Project must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder of the startup drive. You can move it there in the Finder.
For Events, it sounds like the other Mac sees them. Hopefully, you moved them to the external drive from within iMovie. If so, once you move the project to the proper spot, all should be well.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09 or iMovie 11, you can have the Project files on the external drive as well. -
Prel 13 saved project files will not open, or Prel stops working.
Sandgrass-Saved files of Prel 13 projects will not open in Prel 13. Is there any way to reclaim/alter these files to where they will open? Could there be a missing codec?
My computer—Hpe 580t, Win 7 Professional 64-bit OS with second internal 1 TB hard drive;
Intel R Core, TM i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHz, RAM 9.00GB
All of my clips and stills were taken on my Nikon CoolPix P500. They will import just fine from PSE organizer or from Prel 13 organizer and I can edit just fine. The trouble seems to be when I attempt to open the saved project files for further editing or adding movie theme and scene markers for a 54-minute movie.
I have tried opening from within Prel 13 and from the stored files on my Data Drive E:. Prel opens the project and tries to load; then an error msg appears: “Premiere Elements has stopped working. Windows will close the program and let you know if a solution is found”, or an error message says "Cannot open:---this file is not compatible with Pre"l. Only one copy of several edited and rendered copies of the project will open, and I am very afraid to touch it until someone can maybe suggest a solution. I tried saving copies of the one working file, but none of them will open. Thank you for your assistance. SandgrassLionkillerArt
Did you say that you were working on Windows or Mac? For now, assuming Windows,
1. Go to the Adobe Folder in Documents (should be there unless you changed the default).
2. Locate the project.prel file of interest in Adobe Folder/Documents Folder/Premiere Elements Folder/11.0 Folder. Inside the 11.0 Folder, among some folders and other files, are the project.prel files if you did not do any special organization. Right click the project.prel of interest and select Open With, followed by Premiere Elements 10. Does the project now open?
Do you have any versions of Premiere Elements on your computer except this Premiere Elements 10?
Have you deleted or moved any of the source media that went into your project after you saved/closed any of these projects? Where are your source media stored? If on an external hard drive, is the drive letter of that drive changing on its own?
What happens if you rename one of the problem project.prel files in the Adobe Folder and then try to open it from there?
Just some thoughts for now.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thanks.

Why does my Full HD .mp4 file increase 10 times in size when imported to iMovie as .mov?
Is the conversion to .mov really necessary? Can I not work directly with the .mp4 files in the event library?
Thanks for explaining what the import does.
Yes it is H.264.
However, this is what I found:
I copied the files in Finder so I did not have to go through the import conversion.
After this I opened a new project and trimmed the clip and added a theme after which I could Finalize the project.
In a 2nd test I skipped Finalize the project and just exported the edited clip to a Full HD movie.
It seems iMovie allows me to edit without converting it to .mov as you mention. -
I have been trying to transfer some different movies from my PC to my IPad, but they are not showing in the "movie" folder. I have sync'd the movies (these are mp4 files) that I wanted transfered, but only one is showing in the folder. There are 13 other movies in the folder that have the ICloud symbol in the corner of their picture. I understand that I can pull those movies from ICloud any time I want to watch them, but I want to watch the ones that I've just sync'd with my IPad. How do I find them? After I checked the movies I wanted, I "applied" them and watched it sync and copy the wanted movies to my IPad. Now what? Thanks.
There are some good programs that you could use to convert the format, Handbrake or Mpegstreamclip are two good free ones. Convert them to MP4 and then try importing them again.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
var pos = sym.getPosition();
if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
sym.stop(0);
clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
