Transition Delays following movie clips in Exported Quicktimes (Solution)

My problem was that I would add a quicktime clip into Keynote, and set the slide's length to match the clip length. This worked when previewing in Keynote, but when I exported to Quicktime, there would be a delay once the clip ended, and the next slide would be held up...
I discovered a work around, in that if I set the slide that holds the clip to have no delay, the QT playback finishes without a pause.
Of course there's the problem that this presentation is now useless for running straight out of Keynote, but if you're aiming for a Quicktime output, you now now what to do.
Hope this helps some of you.
Cheers
Toby

I may have found the answer to my own question in PP FAQ. Have not tested this procedure, however.

CS6 won't export movies with previously exported Quicktime .mov files in them?

On several different projects now, I've made videos which include previously exported CS6 Quicktime .mov clips in the timeline. When I go to export these new projects, Premiere will start compiling and exporting for a few moments, but then will stop and freeze up the program or even my Mac, or it will show an error message. I've tried changing my settings and everything. The only way my projects will export correctly is if they contain NO old .mov files. I'm trying to do a demo reel, so I kind of need those old files. They aren't even old, I exported them out of CS6 a few months ago. Why isn't Premiere exporting correctly and is there any way to fix this?

There are files, and there are files... the important thing is what is inside the file?
MOV (or AVI or MP4 or ???) is a wrapper that may contain many things... not all of those things edit well
Report back with the details of your file, use the program below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

Newbie: Help with Interactive Movie Clips

I'm just starting off with Indesign and am already running into an issue on a seemingly simple issue. I'm trying to create an interactive document that I will play movie clips when exported to pdf. Ok so far so good. I've inserted one movie and started to play around.
1st issue - The only option I can get to actually play the movie when clicked is when the pdf export option for compatibility is set to 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
                 How come no newer options work? Using Acrobat reader 9 by the way and tried to toggle options such as 'embedding' the movie.
                 No luck with playing on any setting except 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
2nd Issue - Inside the movie options dialog box for this clip, there is an option for a poster that I can 'choose movie frame' as poster. The dialog box       comes up and is completely empth with no video controls or anything. What the deal with this.
I'm just starting out and I know I'm not totally incompetant but I'm not very pleased with what I'm seeing right now.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

Here is some help for starter.
For embedding, do that in InDesign. I think you know the movie will only play in the PDF.
If you export to PDF 1.3/1.4•Non-RGB movie or sound posters aren’t visible in the exported PDF document.
•SWF and MPEG movies aren’t playable in the exported PDF document.
•Clipping paths applied to movie or sound posters don’t appear in the exported PDF document. Posters are resized to match the movie page item.
•Movies cannot be embedded.•Sounds cannot be linked.
If you export to PDF 1.5 or laterQuickTime is specified as the preferred player when exporting to PDF. To change the preferred player, you must edit the rendition in Acrobat 6.0 or later.
If you export to any PDF version•Non-rectangular media frames don’t appear in the exported PDF document.
•Hyperlinks applied to movies, sounds, or buttons are not active in the exported PDF document. However, you can add those hyperlinks using Acrobat Professional.
•Rotated or sheared movies and posters may not appear correctly in the exported PDF document.
•Any masking applied to movie frames or posters is not supported.

Missing Graphic in Movie Clip

Am I missing a step? I have a movie clip created from a jpeg
by importing the jpeg to library. Dragging jpeg to Scene selecting
and Convert to Symbol (movie clip with exports set and Named). Both
the graphic and the movie show in the library, but only the bitmap
shows the picture in the preview Library pane (or in the Scene).
When I test the movie the movie clip behaves and displays
correctly, but I thought that it should display in the preview
pane.
Has any body got any ideas what I am doing wrong (if
anything)?
Many thanks

Movie within Keynote, export to quicktime transition delay

I have a very strange problem I can't seem to figure out. I create a Keynote presentation every week that is used to show our announcements at our church. I create the keynote with automatic advancement, then export it to a quicktime movie (which is then put on an iPod and used to project at church). It wall works very well and I have used this for several years. Here's my problem:
I inserted a movie into a slide in Keynote, the movie is about 30 seconds long and I am playing about 10 to 15 seconds of it. I then have the slide transition to another slide. When I play the keynote it all seems to work great - however, when I export the movie via quicktime, it plays through the movie then hangs for 10 seconds or so at the end of the movie before making the transition to the next slide. It is apparently "stuck" for that time. I have played around with every setting I could find to see if I could get it to work right but nothing changed this behavior. I tried shortening the movie length under the quicktime tab in the inspector, changing the delay in the slide tab in the inspector, nothing.
To make matters worse I apparently can't just cut out the 10 seconds of offending material via quicktime pro as it somehow only registers by the slide number and I cannot get the index arrow to pick a portion of the movie to splice.
Its all very frustrating - I've spent about 3 hours on this silly thing this evening telling myself "it can't be this hard." But either I am really missing the obvious, or there is a bug in Keynote, or this just can't be done.
BTW I am using Keynote 09.
Any help would be very appreciated. For tonight I've given up on the movie and just cut that part out.
thanks.

You've found one of my frustrations...here's the way it works:
In keynote, you MUST set the slide delay for a movie to stay on screen, and you can see that you're able to transition before the movie is done by cutting the delay shorter than the movie. The draw back is, if you want the whole movie to play, you MUST set the delay to at least the same length as the movie.
When exporting to QT, this doesn't work. The export forces the movie to play in its entirety. If you weren't trying to cut the movie short, you'd still have to remove your auto advance delay so that it transitions after the movie plays. This is why you're seeing that long hold, it's counting your movie length AND the delay time you added in Keynote.
The only thing I can suggest is removing that transition delay and living with the movie playing through to the end. You could always trim the movie in QT Pro and use that in Keynote I suppose.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Exporting Flash Files (which contain embedded movie clips) to Quicktime!

Since the recent Quicktime upgrade to 7.1.3 I have had trouble with the
animations I've made in Flash and exported to Quicktime. Most of the time,
my flash animations require flash movie clips embeded in the flash timeline.
In the past, when I have exported these flash animations as Quicktime files,
there is no problems, but now, since the upgrade, the export does not play
back properly, and it is obvious that Quicktime is unhappy with these
embedded clips within the flash timeline. Is there a way around this
problem? A way for me to maintain embedded movie clips in my timeline and
still export a working Quicktime file!?!

I've never mastered Flash but I know a lot about how QuickTime works.
I do know that some Flash features are limited to specific "publish" versions and some newer ones are not supported in older publish states.
Could you export two files (background and focus object) and test the actions?
QuickTime uses "layers" (lower layer numbers are on the "top"). Adding multiple layers to a .mov file is easy with Pro but Flash tracks that contain mouse actions must be on the top layer. If the track layer is behind another it may still appear (via transparency) but not be able to hold mouse actions.

FCP 6 - Exporting Quicktime MOV distorts audio (clipping), plays fine in FC

I've just finished a project and have exported my finished video to a Quicktime file, using the same settings as my original capture (HDV 1080i50). However, when I do so, the audio in the exported file is clipped quite horribly, and makes it hard to make sense of what is going on because of it.
I have several sound files that have been amplified +9dB in the project, and was originally worried about clipping, but they play back absolutely fine in Final Cut, with no distortion at all.
Any ideas on how to remove this clipping on export? If I have to reduce the sound level on my clips, is there a way to do it via batch? I've got heaps of keyframes controlling volume, it would be an absolute pain to do manually.

Keep your audio peaks between -12 and -6 inside FCP. Never, ever clip the audio. Use of some compression and/or limiting - if done correctly - will help you control your levels: Putting a lid on loud stuff and bringing up the level of low stuff. And does a better job of level control than manually riding-gain with a fader or inserting audio level keyframes.
Compressors will help you.
Search the web for tutorials on how to use 'em and you'll never look back.

Exporting presentation with movie clips .

I want to export for sending to CD but movie pictures end up twice as long and freeze after playing.
The movie clip was created from FCP and also iMovie.
I have added a transition to the movie slide and this seems to cause the problem. It appears to double the length of the slide (if original movie was 5 secs it becomes 10secs).
I need the CD to run the presentation automatically.
The export is for QuickTime, Manual advance, Full Quality,Large .
I have spent 2 days on this and I am going crazy, not sleeping! You know it all!
Help please.
I hate to mention this but I tried the same thing in PowerPoint (ugh) but the result was the same.
Products iMac and

Presumably you are creating a self playing movie:
1- Inspector > Transitions > start transition select; automatically and set the delay to match the duration of the video
2- in the export dialogue box, delete the slide duration values. The timing from each slide will be now used instead.

2 basic questions/ viewing clips and exporting to quicktime

I have to problems thus far. 1stly, I'd like to figure if I can utilize the playback feature for more than one clip at a time. Whenever I try to use it, it only plays one clip then stops at the end, though i'd prefer it continue on through the transition into the next clip.
2ndly, I've exported the clip into a quicktime file and uploaded it to my .mac account. People using apples can view it, but window's users cannot. NOr can they view it when I export it to a full size .mov and just email it to them. It tells them they're missing some compressor. Downloading the newest version of QT does not help either.
Any help in either or both of these matters is greatly appreciated.

Hi John,
the uploading to .mac usually uses a sorenson codec in a .mov container.
That can be watched on PC just when the free Quicktime Player for Windows is installed. does your friends have done that...?
It tells them they're missing some compressor. Downloading the newest version of QT does not help either. newest version for PC or on your Mac's side?
QT7 offers now the brandnew h.264 compression codec... this isn't supported on the Windows side yet (just experimental/beta)... so using the "latest" is maybe the wrong way...
in the iM export dialog you'll find the option ".avi" (PC container + sorenson codec) try that for a mail (big files!) and your friends should see your movie...
and tell them, they shall buy a Mac, hey, c'mon!
you can offer downloads of your project on .mac, but not as convenient as the "upload to" function. ... but that is another cup of tea......

Quicktime 7 pro movie to picture export fails

Using quicktime 7 pro, on OS X 10.6.8, I am trying to capture a still photo from a video taken with my iphone, imported into iphoto. If I use export, movie to picture, it will work for the first one then will give me the fail catch all... message for all others. Or, if I try to copy and then paste into my preview and use new from clipboard the images pastes as grey.
Am I missing something obvious in preferences or settings???

The QT 7 Pro "Movie to Picture" export option creates a PICT file with or without a user selected "compression" option. Unfortunately, PICT files are no longer the default Mac image format nor are they supported by all apps under Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion. While there are several alternative options here, most users tend to rely on one of the following:
1) If you prefer working in a QT 7 Pro-like environment, open you movie clip in the free MPEG Streamclip app, locate the frame you wish to export, select the "Export Frame..." ( "Alt-Command-F" keyboard shortcut) File menu option and select your desired export settings.
2) If you prefer a quick "screen capture" work environment, open the movie clip in either the QT 7 or QT X player, locate the frame you wish to capture, press the "Command-Shift-3" keyboard shortcut to enter the screen capture mode. Once in the screen capture mode, you can
a) press the mouse to anchor one corner of an area you wish to capture and drag the mouse to a diagonal corner to select the capture area or
b) switch to the "Object Window" screen capture mode by pressing the "Space Bar" and select the "window" you wish to capture by "hovering" the mouse over the desired object.
In case "a" above, releasing the mouse captures the selected area while in case "b" clicking the mouse captures the highlighted object window. If you capture your image without honding down the "Alt/Option" key, the the captured image will include a transparent border area and drop shadow. If you hold down the "Alt/Option" key during capture, then no transparent border or drop shadow is generated. Since entire "object" window is captured using this screen capture process, I use QT X for capturing "frameles" images and use QT 7 when I want the player frame included in the captured image (with or without transparent borders/drop shadows as previously described).
3) Alternatively (under latest OS versions), you can simply open Preview and select one of the "Take Screen Snapshot" options to capture a portion, object, or entire display screen from within Preview.

IMovie HD 6.0.3: After making 10 movies where I clipped portions from a larger clip (and exported the smaller clips), suddenly iMovie clips are much shorter after I export them.

Hi there,
I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an older MacBookPro (OS X, 10.4.11).
I took an AVI video and imported that into iMovie HD.
I then created smaller clips out of that - like editing a 20 minute video into small, 30 second clips.
I made about 10 of these smaller clips, exported them using "expert settings," and burned the results to DVD. These all worked fine.
Suddenly, the final product that I export is much shorter than the clip I created. For example, I'll create a 30 second smaller clip from the original. When I review this 30 second clip, it is what I wanted.
When I export this 30 second clip, it makes a QuickTime movie that is only 23 seconds. (The first 10 I made did not do this).
I tried extending my clip by 7 seconds, hoping to end up with a 30 second clip after exporting. The result was even shorter - like 15 seconds.
I have checked disk space - it has at least 500 GB free space. I have tried exporting the clip to both my laptop and to an external hard drive. The results are the same.
I just tried using the "crop" feature to see if my end product was better - but it was the same.
Does anyone know what is going on? Why did this start after making 10 successful exports? What can I do to get it working right again, as I have 3 more clips to make and am running up against a deadline.
Thanks so much!
Heidi

Since I can't edit this post... (Why?) I'd add: fast forwarding and fast reverse (shift key and arrow left or right) the HA files is also not smooth. They play alright. I'm surprised iMovie can't handle them either. I didn't have a problem with the earlier camcorder's HA files... (All were converted MTS files using Movie Converter.)

FCP "Export - QuickTime Movie" gamma shift

Above is an example of what happens when I do a direct export in Final Cut Pro, using the Export -> QuickTime Movie function. As you can see, the image is significantly brighter and the colors are a little more washed out (this image isn't particularly colorful, but trust me, it washes them out). I always thought the Export -> QuickTime Movie meant the image would not be compressed--that it was a straight export using the sequence settings.
The image you see above was shot natively in ProRes 422 (HQ) using an Arriflex Alexa. It has never been transcoded. The bottom image is what it looks like using Export -> QuickTime Movie. Totally unacceptable for a piece of professional software, if you ask me.
I can't express how infuriating this is, to have everything looking perfect in FCP and then exporting only to have it look like garbage. I've been able to play with gamma correction a bit and have gotten it PRETTY close to the original look, but this seems like a horrible workaround.
Anyone else know why this is happening? Is there a fix for this?
I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 10.1.

Sure thing, Meg.
Here's a source clip with "approximate" gamma correction:
"Approximate" gamma correction makes the image look flatter within Final Cut Pro than it actually is.
Now, the very same clip and frame, but with gamma set to "Accurate" :
Now, things are switched. The exported image looks flatter than the source clip within FCP.
Here's another tidbit of info--the frame from my first post was professionally color graded and exported as a self-contained movie--so there were no filters, FCP or otherwise, being applied there. But the difference is just night-and-day to me.

Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

+"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
Andy Neil,
I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.
