Slow export on H.264 format

When I try to export a quicktime movie into H.264 format,
streaming or download,my Windows XP machine becomes so
slow and my computer stops responding.

It's a complicated process and takes a long time on any computer.
Since the video quality is so good I've been converting at smaller dimensions (480X360 instead of 640X480). This speeds up the process a bit and I play back at double size.
I also do large files while I sleep.

Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4

Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs.

When publishing video files in H.264 format, I get the error "No rendered photo exists on disk"

I want to export images as well as videos (.mov files) by using the Publishing Manager in Lightroom 5.6 under Windows 7, 64 Bit. For this I activated "Include Video Files" in the Publishing Manager and set "Video Format" to "H.264". When publishing, all photos are correctly published. The videos, however, are not published. Instead Lightroom returns the error: "Some export operations were not performed.", "No rendered photo exists on disk" followed by a list of the videos that could not be exported.
If I select "Original, unedited file" for "Video Format" instead, the videos are published. Also, if I manually export the videos (without using the Publishing functionality), the export works.
How can I publish videos using the H.264 format?

Thanks Brett, I'll try to recreate it
I just tried to export it again but this time to the desktop, not a Sandisk USB, and this time it created 4 different files, one being audio only and when I tried to play/open the others it gave a 'server error' dialogue window and I couldn't get a screen shot while this was open.

Horrible final video quality in After Effects CS6 when rendering a 1920x1080 video with H.264 format

I've been using After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro for over a year now with no issues. However, today when I exported a video to be rendered in 1920x1080p with H.264 format, I got the worst quality final video I've ever seen. I filmed my video files in 1920x1080p (like usual), and I clicked all the same buttons I normally do to export a video, but every HQ video I try to export looks horrible. I haven't clicked any crazy buttons or anything out of the ordinary.
I always export a video following this sequence:
File > Export > Add to Render Queue > Lossless > H.264 (quality format) > video output (make sure it's checked) > audio output (make sure it's checked) > OK > Output to Desktop
My render settings are always set as "best settings" including "full" resolution and "best" quality.
Now, when I click H.264, a "settings mismatch" pops up and says:
"Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1.00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6.00 PAR) to meet format constraints"
The rendering quality and playback quality within After Effects is great, but once the video is exported, it is horrible.
PLEASE HELP?! I have deadlines I need to meet!

Use the H.264 encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
The H.264 export features in After Effects have been removed in later versions because of numerous problems.

Suddenly very slow export

Hi. Basically, my export has gone very slow. I will give what details I can, but the main thing here is that I am doing what I have always done, but suddenly it is going very slow. I export to MPEG2 DVD as that goes straight onto a DVD without further render in my Sony DVD maker program. Export in Premiere usually takes between 30 and 40 minutes. Latyest project is warning me of over 3 hours! I thought I would ask here before waiting and seeing if it still works okay in case there is an obvious answer. MPEG audio, multiplexer on, maximum mrender depth, CBR slider set to make a file that will be as large to preserve quality and still fit on a DVD (I go for around 4GB or just over) Stick to CBR as the estimated file size is more accurate than messing about with VBR sliders. Projects are standard definition, two video sources mixed (full DV) and separate sound source added and synchronised. I film stage plays with two cameras. Projects typically between one and a half and two and a half hours long. This project is actually at the lower end. No other obvious problems with the PC in general. Is it worth a system restore? It was fine for a project similar size rendered last week. I am asking befoire i try system restore as they are getting hard to do. They never seem to work unless I remove all my virus protection stuff! CAn I think of anything different about this project? Well, only that the venue I was filming in was not quite level, resulting in a bit of an angle that I corrected by tilting the film just a few degrees. (Only affecting the part of the picture that would be off the TV screen) just to make the stage look level. I often do this with a few shots from one of the cameras, but maybe not the whole film for both cameras like in this case. I even tried pressing enter and doing that render thingy before export. That did not help. Maybe that is just to get something better in the preview window. Normally it just takes around half an hour or just over. Media player can be a bit crackly and choppy playing the rendered movie, but then it is always fine on the DVD so I just put that down to windows media playing being a bit rubbish and not important in my case. Sorry if I have neglected to tell you anything important. I usually get told off for this on this forum, but I have tried to give you details about the settings I am using. The main thing is that I am only doing what I usually do. If I was exporting to a different format I might expect a different time. I can tell you that I got bored waiting and cancelled a few times before coming on here. A couple of times the screen went very white and said windows would close the problemn and notify me of any solution. Program closed but no useful information (I would not really have expected Windows to give me any!). Maybe someone here can? I suppose I had better wait for the three hours or more and at least see what comes out, but cant help being scared it will freeze at 37.34 percent and I will give up after waiting three weeks! But any suggestions would be helpful. Sorry not very tech-savvy so please keep it to plain English. Thanks in advance

Without knowing your computer specs, hard to comment on how long an export ought to take. However, you said yourself that you may have applied rotation to much of the video, and perhaps that is slowing things down from normal.
Please check that your hard drives are defragged and are not getting more than 70-80% full as performance can quickly degrade. I would turn OFF the "Max Bit Depth" and "Max Render Quality" if being used. Should not be needed for DV clips going to DVD. As for pre-rendering the timeline, not recommended. This just adds another layer of compression (quality loss) to the final render, IF you check "Use Previews" in the Export area. If not using Previews, then it is all getting re-rendered anyways, so just a waste of time and drive space really, unless playback is so terrible that you want to render a section to check the results before exporting.
I notice you have MultiPlexing ON for the export - is that how the Sony DVD software wants it? Most authoring programs (like Encore) perform better with separate elements of audio and video, meaning the .wav and .m2v files. Reason being that the DVD program will usually be creating Dolby (AC3) audio for the final DVD, so if you feed it the raw elements, it can convert the .wav to .ac3 quickly, and will NOT need to transcode the video. If you Mux (combine) the audio and video, the audio has then been compressed to lossy MPEG audio, then the DVD software needs to separate the audio and video and re-encode them again in most cases. Not the best workflow. Unless your final DVD uses MPEG audio, but I'm not sure that is a legal part of the spec worldwide, is normally PCM or AC3 for player compatibility.
Not a big fan of anti-virus programs, have found many of the popular ones to really take over and bog down the system. Personally, I use and recommend the free solution of Microsoft Security Essentials. My computer, and those of my kids, have been virus-free the last couple of years since going to that solution, and I see no decrrease in performance and it runs in the background totally transparent to me.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

Stuttering and synch problems after export to H.264

I edited some AVCHD video in Premiere Pro 5.5.0, rendered a 5 minute sequence, and exported to H.264 for Vimeo, using Vimeo's guidelines:
NSTC
1280X720
29.97 fps (as shot)
Progressive
Square pixels
CBR 5 Mbps (tried VBR 1 pass and 2 pass as well, with no difference)
Audio output AAC
44.1 khz (from 48khz original)
320 bps
bitrate precedence (tried frequency precendence first, no help)
The export plays fine in VLC player 2.0.1, but in Quicktime and after uploading to Vimeo, the audio plays well, but the video stutters and is mostly out of synch.
If it makes any difference, MacBook Pro, 9Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.7.3
Any ideas?

Well this is weird, and a likely candidate for the Journal of Irreproducable Results. I deleted the videos from Vimeo last night just before I posted to this forum. I then shut down the computer for the night. Booted up this morning, and the H.264 export played fine in QuickTime, and in VLC. So I uploaded it again to Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/40655208 (password protected, by the way, intended for my client's approval. PW = DIYEFT) and it now seems to play fine.
To say I'm puzzled doesn't begin to describe it. If my internet connection had been slow last night (Time Warner cable, not the quickest out there) that might help explain the sutttering on Vimeo, but it wouldn't explain the similar stuttering in QuickTime.

Can't export Quicktime H.264 from AE CS4

Whenever I try to set the export module to Quicktime H.264 I immediately get the error/message, "For reliable output with H.264 compression, please choose it directly from the Output Module Format menu instead of via Quicktime."
If you try ro render, you only get an error and there is no render.
What could be going wrong? Is a plugin not working? The only thing I can think of is I updated to Quicktime 7.6 a few days ago. Anyone else experienced this problem?

I'm encoding at 640x360. I usually use profile level 4.1, but this is only going to be directed towards software not hardware. There are work arounds to this, lots of them. Like encoding using Quicktime Animation codec and then re-encoding to Quicktime H.264 out of PP CS4, Sorenson Squeeze, or even Quicktime itself. All will work well. But the thing is that a person shouldn't have to go through a two-step work around like this. You want to maintain quality but Animation files are relatively huge. (By the way, its funny how PP CS4 has no problem exporting QT H.264).
How would I use Adobe Media encoder directly? Just drop the project from AE into the queue?

Slow export for no reason

Hi fellow mac users. I have two macs. One of the macs has a much faster exporting speed that the other for Imovie HD. I heard about it being something about one using DV maybe?
Well it takes on the slow exporting mac 20 minutes to export a 10 minute clip in CD-ROM format. But on the other it takes about 4 minutes. Considering I don't want it to take 20 minutes because the 4 minutes quality is fine - how do I make it go faster again on this computer?
Thanks,
-G

Hi
Not really understanding Your problem I can make a guess.
The most common origin to that a Mac slows down is the amount of free space on
the internal (start-up) hard disk (no other counts)
• 5Gb or less - most probably Your Mac doesn't work or have an occult behaviour
• 5-10Gb might work but slow
• about 25Gb free space - my way of getting things done
Second reason:
DVD discs has a speed no: on them eg DVD-R x16 (most often to fast for most Macs
to make good burns) I use iDVD08 or Apple Disk Util tool to burn at x1 speed
Much better result and DVDs that most often works.

Should I keep video in .avi or .mov h.264 formats -- or both?

We have older Canon cameras that shoot video in .avi format. I export these from QuickTime Player 7 in H.264 format (high quality, key frame rate 24) before uploading them to our MobileMe Gallery for online viewing. The .mov H.264-encoded video is often 1/3 to 1/2 smaller.
I'd rather just keep the .mov files around and delete the original .avi files, but I'm worried about being able to read the files 20 years from now. Should I keep both formats around, or does H.264-encoded video stand just as good a chance of being readable in 20 years as .avi?

The AVI container enjoyed popularity because it didn't have (use) many industry standards. Your 4 year old camera used AVI to save some money (not having to pay licensing fees to the MPEG-4 Group).
If you're happy with the H.264 video codec version of your source files and they work as expected, I recommend deleting the AVI version to save hard drive space. You could back them up on external media (hard drive or DVD as data) if you wish.

No audio when exporting to h.264 (mp3 - aac conversion fails)

Using QuickTime Player Pro 7.5.5 on OS X 10.5.6:
I have a video file (video format: On2 VP6, audio format: MPEG Layer 3 mono) that I am attempting to export for high-quality YouTube.
When I export to H.264 my only audio export option is AAC-LC. But the resulting mp4 file has a silent audio track. I've tried different settings on the audio (mono/stereo, different data rates) but that makes no difference.
Is there a way to successfully export the audio when using the H.264 format?

Thanks -- it's too bad QuickTime Pro doesn't properly handle this. I successfully used iTunes as a workaround as well (I exported the audio track to a standalone mov, opened in iTunes, exported as an MP3, then added back to the video in QuickTime Pro).

Extremely slow exporting

11 giga is the total viedos size, and i'm trying to export it to 1080HD and the remaining time is 102 hours :))))))))))
to be honest i've been waiting for the last three days and the process is very slowwww! I moved my project to another mac but it shows the same result and time.
I have 44 giga of free space,

Make sure you aren't exporting to H.264 from iMovie. This will make the process very slow. Export to a Quicktime file with the Apple Intermediate Code instead.

Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
               // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
               configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
               // get data source of crystal report
               Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
               // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
               ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
               LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
               ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
                         exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
               reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

How to change the default structure when exporting data in CSV format?

Hello,
can some one tell us how to change the default structure in CRM when exporting lists in CSV format (with Option "Always use unformatted list format (CSV) for download" ? Because we want to add a new structure for our own -is it possible ?
If it is possible where can we find these structure ? In the blueprint customizing ?
Thank you very much,

There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
Excerpts from sun docs:
However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
Details are here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
Will update if i find more information

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?
Edited by: dforde on Jan 27, 2010 11:12 PM

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.
