Shakey Motion Titles When Authored to DVD From FCP

Hi all, i'm having a real nightmare getting motion titles in to an FCP project then authoring to iDVD.
This evening i tried embedding some streak titles in to a piece of a footage in FCP, i use the 'Send to Motion' function. The project looks absolutly fine when played back in FCP but when i author to DVD the section with Motion in is very shakey, it's a very quick shake and it comes more across as very weak distortion. The motion titles look great but it throws out the rest of the footage.
I've tried setting the field order to none and it only slightly helps. Both of my resolutions are 720 x 576 PAL, FCP Footage is DV PAL 48 KHZ.
Can anyone help????

Hey David,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't have Squeeze...
If I use the crop tool, that leaves a black border around the frame that's visible when I open the exported QT in the QT player. Was there another way of doing it?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

30 fps projects automatically become 25 fps when export a DVD from share menu

I shoot some video at 30 fps. I made a project setting to match that.
My 30 fps projects becomes 25 fps when I make DVDs from FCPX share menu.
I thought it would make 29.97 DVDs but somehow FCPX makes PAL DVDs.
I tried different settings: all 23.98, 24, 29.97, 60 fps projects give me 29.97 DVDs when I share from FCPX.
Only 30 fps projects does not give me 29.97 but 25.
Do you know why that happen?

I am bit confused. It is not easy to make 29.97 out of 30 fps yet let FCPX handle the frame rate change?
Of course we should have the right fps setting when we shoot. I guess it is still best option at this stage to set FCP project 29.97 and let it do the math.
If, though, I am okay to have my source video slow down tiny bit, then using Compressor for frame-to-frame conversion will assure the best quality?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

Publishing to DVD from FCP instead of printing to Tape

How would I be able to put my finished timeline to a DVD from FCP rather than print to tape? as I am new to FCP?

Making a DVD from FCP X project

A few projects ago, I could render a movie for DVD from FCP X onto a DVD to burn. Then, it would be working for hours and hours and never finish.. a day later, it wasn't finished. Can't make one since.
What could be the problem? I s some part of the process too big for my hardware or software? Can I change something to allow it to work again?
Any ideas? Perhaps something is set wrong?
Thank you for any suggestions.

What version are you running?
Do you get a Publishing Error -29?

Need to author DVD from FCP X

I converted to FCP X and need to author DVDs from the footage I shot. Since I still have DVD Studio Pro I imported the footage, authored the DVD and burned it. It won't play on my DVD player, Blu Ray player or even my Mac. In the build I get notes that say:
Note: The directory ‘/Users/melbraneff/Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files/DSPPublishing’ is not a DVD-Video directory and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
Note: The directory ‘/Users/melbraneff/Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files/PAR’ is not a DVD-Video directory and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
Note: The file ‘TB_Index_Bg_HDNTSC.mov_NTSC_10000.m2v’ found in the ‘DVD Studio Pro Files’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
Note: The file ‘DVD_01_VS_EAST_BEARS.layout’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
Note: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
I don't know if that is telling me what the problem is or not. Any help would be appreciated.

FYI, DVD is always SD, irrespective of whether the authoring program is DVD Studio Pro, or something else. The only HD that DVD SP ever supported was the long-obsolete HD DVD. Nor has Apple ever integrated Blu Ray devices into their hardware.
There is a lower quality version of Blu Ray that is available in FCP and which can be burned to a normal DVD-R disk. You start with a Bllu Ray setting and select a DVD drive for the Output Device. The limitations are that it's half the bit rate and you're limited to about 30 minutes. But it is HD resolution. Give a try if you're interested.

When burning a DVD from Elements 13, it freezes at 90%

when burning a DVD in elements 13, it freezes at 90% and locks up elements until I cancel burn.

Jerry Jarrett
If you wish to pursue your question about burn to disc, then I would be glad for the opportunity to be of assistance.
The following would be my troubleshooting strategy and questions
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
2. Have you looked at the issue with and without the Intel HD Graphics 2000 and Higher preferences disabled
(See Edit Menu/Preferences/General)?
3. Where are you in Publish+Share/Disc/, DVD, AVCHD, or Blu-ray? And, what does the burn dialog's Quality Area
show for Space Required and Bitrate? What brand/type/capacity disc are you using?
4. Is the issue specific to one Timeline in one project? Or, is the problem there with another Timeline content and another
project.
I would prefer to see you sort out the burn to disc issue if possible because of the download problems associated with the 3rd party software
that is typically needed to obtain the disc product from the Premiere Elements VIDEO_TS, BDMV, or ISO Image. Excellent 3rd party software if you
can get it installed without a lot of companion garbage. Although how to have been described for the safest possible download and install, there
are no guarantees that you will not be hit with a lot of computer cleanup just to get one excellent program.

Problems encoding a DVD from FCP project

I'm trying to create a DVD from a short 3min project I just cut in FCP 6. It is an HD project and when I do a straight QT export the file is about 1.2 gigs and looks great. However, when I try to use compressor to make an MPEG, it may come out looking fine on my computer, but when I burn the DVD it looks blockly and pixelated. I assumed I'd lose some quality going from HD to SD, but this isn't looking right. Even simple the white text supers come out looking bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Judge the quality on a TV, not your Mac's display...
Use the high quality 90 minute preset for MPEG (DVD) production, but change the motion estimation to Better from Best... try that seems to me it looks better.

Burning a DVD from FCP Pro (relation between QT and IDVD)

When encoding and burning a DVD with IDVD from a QTime file (exported from Final Cut Pro plain QT uncompressed export), do I need to pay attention to the QuickTime Player settings? For example, the codec is automatically set on H.264, does it make any difference on the IDVD encoding process to choose another codec or to check the box : best quality? Thank you for your answer, BF from FCP Pro

DVDs use an MPEG-2 codec, so regardless of which codec FCP uses to compress the Quicktime file, it will end up as MPEG-2 when you burn to DVD. So as long as the video preview plays in iDVD, you should be fine just using the "Best Quality" setting.
If you are really concerned about the quality, you can also try exporting the video using Compressor and authoring the DVD in DVD Studio Pro. It's a bit more complicated, but the results are worth learning the software.
Hope this helps.

Why is Color Washed Out after making DVD from FCP

I took a 3 minute corporate video from FCP (shot SD, NTSC DV) and compressed from the timeline in Compressor (3.01) to DVD best 90 minutes. When I burned the DVD in DVDSP (4.2) and played it in a stand alone DVD player with a JVC production monitor it looked washed out. It looks nothing like it does in FCP or DVDSP.
Any idea what is going on?

Yes to the monitor. I shot the video with a Panasonic HVX200 to P2 cards, downloaded and color corrected on Color. Viewed on two production monitors: A JVC CRT and a new Panasonic 26" LCD (LH2600W) production monitor which is fed from a Kona Card via SDI. My Apple 30" monitor, which I edit on is color calibrated with a Spyder calibrator.
I have played the DVD on the 30" and it looks washed out, even after comparing it to a QT movie from the timeline and played on the 30". Something seems to be happening when the DVD is burnt. The mpeg2 file when played in the inspector in Compression looks good too.
This is weird, since I have never had this problem before, but this is the first use of the new Compression.

Making the best quality DVD from FCP

Can anyone suggest how to make the highest quality DVD from an HDV FCP project?

It's a fun website that I've seen people use recently : http://lmgtfy.com/
It basically generates a url that you can post onto forums etc, and when you click on it, it takes you to the 'mock' google page, followed by the results. It's a polite but fun way of saying "Don't be so lazy, and do a search!". No offense intended to the OP.
The Bruce image is one i had uploaded to Tinypic.com ages ago.
Glad you like it!

Best Output for DVD from FCP???

I'm a newbie and need help. I was outputting from FCP 6.0.4 using Export > QuickTime Movie, then importing that file into DVD Studio Pro. But, a college student who saw it recommended Exporting using Compressor 3.0.3 which I did using the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes. I noticed an improvement in my DVD quality, however, in every program I've tried and retried so far I get a little short segment (about a 10 second portion) in my half hour long program that all of the sudden goes crazy with distortion and pixelization and image irratic jumping movements. What can I do to create a totally smooth video when going from FCP to Compressor or is there a better way to finally get it into DVD Studio Pro? I want the highest quality solution as the video footage is originally HD. Thanks for your help, Desperate Russ

For some reason, I've always found this to work:
render your project and make sure you have only one
video track in the timeline. Drag existing sequences into
a new one so that you accomplish this. Render.
Restart the computer.
Export using compressor.
Maybe this is mumbo-jumbo, but it works every time for me.
good luck to you.
The advice is more or less sound but you have several unnecessary steps. Your idea is to consolidate all of the FCP timelines and their associated media into a single timeline; you are nesting the project.
Forcing everything to render is good.
Export the entire project as a self contained movie.
Import the self contained movie into DVDSP.
You would perform these steps with each of the individual movie clips you want to have as menu items in your DVD project. Maybe. You might be able to use one single large movie and set go-tos for each chapter. Whatever.
But there is no reason to restart your computer.
And there may be no good reason to use Compressor to create the MPEG2 files.
