Trouble exporting 320x240 from 720x480 sequence using QT conversion

(Opps, put this on the FCP Express discussion 1st...)
Hi,
Everytime I try to export a 720x480 sequence from FCP with "using QT Conversion" to a 320x240 size, it exports out as 640x480. Everytime. Used to work just fine. Same thing happens using a compressor setting to 320x240 and exporting right from the QT export size setting. Anyone know what gives? I tried trashing prefs in both FCP and QT. No luck.
Thanks!

This is the first time I've heard of this problem so no real basis to go on. Try the QT prefs delete again and if not that, then the QT reinstall.
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

  • Why can't I export my FCP 6 sequence using Compressor 3?

    I am wondering if anyone can tell me why I can't export my FCP 6 sequence using Compressor 3.0.5. 
    I have an hour-long 1080p Pro Res 422 sequence that I am trying to export using Compressor 3.  Whether I export using the 'Pro Res 422' preset or the 'H.264' preset, transcoding commences but then stops abruptly 15 to 20 minutes later with an error message saying 'Quicktime Error: -50.'
    For what it's worth, I have an early-2008 dual quad-core Mac Pro desktop with 6 GB of RAM and two ATI Radeon 5770 graphics cards.  I am currently running OS X 10.6.8.  The media (including Motion graphics) and project file are on an external drive connected via Firewire 800.
    Any advice on how to properly export this sequence at the highest quality without getting the error message is greatly appreciated!
    Shaun

    Are you "sending" to compressor?  Probably not the best way to work.
    First step:  make sure the sequence is COMPLETELY rendered.  If you don't understand how to do that, post back.
    Then, I'd strongly recommend that you export a quicktime file with current settings (file:  export:  quicktime movie NOT quicktime conversion) and bring that file into compressor and chose the appropriate preset.
    This workflow isolates each step and makes it easier to troubleshoot.

  • Is it possible to export tables from diffrent schema using expdp?

    Hi,

  • Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

    I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

    Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

  • Best sequence export settings from FCP7 to use in X

    Hi
    I wanted to work with old sequences created in 7 but in X. I know, I know, I could continue in 7 but like working in X and maybe adding newe material. So what would be the best export settings for a sequence to import into X? Simply uncompressed, or one of the ProRes options? How bout audio?

    Thanks, innocentius!
    i agree it's a worthy tool, but just for kicks I want to bring in the sequence in some other way because it doesn't need editing, but I'd use bits here and there.
    So I'm still wondering how to bring export it closest to it's original quality. I could choose 'none' in the compression settings or maybe one of the ProRes options. Any ideas?

  • Trouble Exporting MXF from PP Cs6

    Hello,
    I am having a lot of trouble exporting a sequence of mxf footage out of premiere pro cs6. Whenever I try to export directly from Premiere the program stalls out. I tried sending it to adobe media encoder, which worked temporarily. Now, the sequence doesn't show up in adobe media encoder. I then tried sending turning the sequence into an AE composition, which again worked seamlessly temporarily. I am working with multi-clip sequences and last night I noticed that when I turn my sequence into an AE comp, after effects began referencing the wrong angle. After Effects also began giving me error messages saying that it was having trouble conforming some of the mxf files. Any insight into how I can fix this would be most helpful. I am working on a Mac Pro Ghz-6 Core Intel Xeon.
    Thanks!

    What exactly do you mean by "multi-clip sequences." Multicam?
    If so, try dropping the same source content into a sequence without any multicam edits and see if that exports. That will help determine if the problem is limited to multicam sequences.
    Have you tried closing all the apps, confirming through Activity Monitor that all the processes shut down (including pproheadless and dynamiclinkmanager), and then relaunching the apps? Or simply rebooting the system. This feels a bit like a problem where the initial failure to export left things in a bad state, so that you need to clear the decks.
    What are your export settings? Do you have similar problems exporting to other formats?
    And just to confirm the reference in the thread's title, you're running PPRO CS6, not CC, right?

  • Exporting from FCP HD using QT conversion

    hello,
    I exported a sequence shot with the DVX100A, I used quicktime conversion mpeg-2 with motion at best and an average bit rate of 5. the video looks nice, but during motions I can see lines along the border of a face, for example. anything that moves has lines long its borders. (interlaced?)
    with another prject, which was a trailer for JFK in my editing class, I ripped the footage from the DVD, I know that footage's bitrate was higher, around 6.3 in FCP. after using the same export properties, I ended up getting no lines.
    can anybody please explain those lines along my moving objects? it really bothers me>
    thanks

    hey thanks for replying so quickly....
    the material was shot in 24p, but I captured it in 30fps with DV NTSC 48 kHz capture and sequence preset.
    so far I only viewed it on my PB as a quicktime m2v file with the player. i havent watched it on a TV screen yet, still need to burn it.
    I used the QT mpeg-2 converter with Two Pass VBR and set the target bitrate up 6 I believe.
    However, there is only regular motion, no fast pans, tilts, or whatever.
    Any more ideas? thanks

  • NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

    I was reading this
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
    however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
    Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

    Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

  • Export clips from a sequence seperately with effects as a batch export in CS 5.5

    Hi there,
    I'd like to know if there is any possibility to export all clips from a sequence/timeline seperately with all applied effects as a batch export or similar in CS 5.5.
    I know there is a chance to do that via the project manager, but a far as I know this way doesn't include the applied effects on each clip.
    Thanks for your help in advance...
    Marc.

    The only way to export a single clip with effects is to manually set up each individual export.  This applies to all version of PP.

  • Trouble exporting Quicktimes from Avid Express Pro?

    Hello! I'm operating Avid Express Pro version 4.3.0 on a G5 Mac OS 10.3.9 and I recently upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.5. I can no longer export quicktimes from Avid Express Pro because it is not compatible with this version of Quicktime. It's only compatible with QT 6.5.2. I've tried to use the reinstaller 6.5.2 and it doesn't work as it cannot seem to find 6.5.2 on my system. I now can't load 6.5.2 as I already have a higher version of quicktime on my system. I've tried deleting QuickTime files and starting from scratch and did delete a few items, but dragged the majority back into my computer from the trash as I realized I didn't know what I was doing and which 3rd party programs also utilized QuickTime.
    If I wish to reinstall QuickTime 6.5.2 but the reinstaller won't work, what would you recommend?
    HUGE thanks!

  • Can't export as a still photo using QuickTime conversion

    In FCP7 ...
    I've always been able to take one frame of a video (as a Sequence) and "Export Using QuickTime Conversion."
    When I try that today, FCP keeps locking up and crashing.
    Help!

    Sometimes my machine starts acting oddly when dealing with QT files. In my case the problem is related to when I start the computer without my firewire mixer also up and running. It is usually solved by shutting the computer down, unplugging it from the mixer and the power for 15 minutes then restarting. Unplugging the thing and letting capaciters drain seems to solve it. Your mileage may vary.
    If nothing else, running Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to delete your FCP preferences may help. It is free and can be found on DR's website.
    Please note that all your settings will be reset to defaults. Custom setups, scratch disk locations, etc will be discarded and you'll be back as though you just installed the software.
    Good luck.

  • When exporting a 16:9 project using Qk Conversion, it says file is too big?

    I just bought FCE HD, but I have been using regular express since early 2004. I want to send my 16:9 widescreen standard def. video from FCE HD to iMovie HD. The only way for iMovie to accept a widescreen video without pillarboxing it is through a DV stream file. I have done this numerous times with the older version without a problem, but now when I export my hour long video, in the middle of exporting using quicktime conversion, it says to file is too big. I have over 100 GB left of harddrive space, so why does it says it's too big? I have used the new Title program that came with the HD upgrade which offers HD text. On my DV-Widescreen NTSC project, I used HD text graphics and rendered them and they played fine, but when I try to export the text with the video, it fails. Could the HD graphics be the culprit, or is it something else entirely?

    Yes. When I am trying to export the entire hour-long project using quicktime conversion, it says: error- file is too big, right in the middle of exporting. I am working off an external harddrive using firewire, this is so I have plenty of space for my videos. When I make my titles with the new title program that came with FCE HD, I switch the format of the text format, under project preferences, to HDTV 1080i 16:9. I do this not because my project is HD, WHICH MY PROJECT IS NOT HD, but because it offers a widescreen ratio for my titles. I can use the entire frame for my graphics and titles, etc. I save each and every file into a folder and load them into final cut when I am in final cut. It just has to render them as I go. I DO NOT save each file as a movie. When exporting, I export under quicktime conversion- DV Stream- DV, 16:9 interlaced, and I don't mess with the audio setting. The WHOLE point of this is for iMovie to read my file as 16:9 so it won't pillarbox it. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A BETTER WAY FOR iMOVIE TO READ FINAL CUT HD FILES "16:9", PLEASE LET ME KNOW; if not, then what should I do about this exporting error?

  • Can't export EDL from FCP sequence

    I've been trying for days, weeks now, to export an EDL from my Final Cut Pro 6 sequence.  I keep getting the same error message:
    The media files of one or more clips are missing reel names and may also be missing timecode tracks.  Proceeding with the export will result in an EDL that cannot capture or reconnect all the media used.
    I went through all my clips and added reel names, went to Modify-->Timecode to give reel names and timecode to slugs and music tracks, and nothing seems to be working.  If I take just a piece, it works fine, but the whole thing just won't work, even though I've gone through it twice.  There is one clip that somehow (I don't know how) became variable speed.  There's actually a lot of speedramped clips and some SmoothCam slips that need to be reanalyzed. Could any of this be the problem?  It's driving me crazy. Help!

    What are you using the EDL for?
    What is the physical media the EDL is going to point to (tape, DAT, film, etc)?
    An EDL is normally used to allow a computer to acquire the media necessary to build your sequence from physical media sources - and as such you would not want to be arbitrarily changing reel numbers and TC tracks, etc.
    If your media is digital - camera files, audio files, etc, then you don't want to use an EDL to move the project from one computer to another, as the EDL would then not contain any useful information, other that edit durations.
    If this is the case, you want to move your project by taking all your digital media to the new computer (on an external dirve{s}), and then open your FCP project and reconnect to those drives.

  • Real PIA.  Exporting 1080p from AVCHD sequence

    Looking to replace FCP as my editor, and now considering another product if I can't make PPCS5.5 work, I really need some help and I have scoured the web looking for help.  I use 3 Panasonic camcorders set at 1080p/60 to collect all the footage I take.  I set my sequence for these settings and begin my editing without any problem.  But when I try to export my clip, any clip, at 1080p/60, my exported video is choppy and has glitches.  If I choose to export in 720p or less, my footage looks fine but only at the 1080p settings am I having real issues.
    Some say hardware issues.  Some say "known issues."  Others say incompatible format and others throw up hands and say I don't know.  Well, I don't know either and my eval copy has about 12 days left and before I shell out a chunk of change for a program that seems to have an issue I can't resolve, I thought to ask for help.
    Any of you sage types have some magic pill for me to take to get glitchless 1080p video out fo 5.5?
    Thanks.
    Paul

    As a new trial user/potential buyer of CS5.5, I have not yet discovered the means to get an output different from the available 1080p30.  I realize now that I mis-typed earlier that I was trying to output 1080p60 when, indeed, I was attempting to do so with 1080p30 instead.  Sorry about that.
    At the moment, I am investigating the possibility of creating nature DVD's to sell that would be on DVD (BR if possible) and presently, I am looking to test market my product on Vimeo and Smugmug.  So... short answer I guess: Higher quality PC playback now with potential HD disc marketing around the corner.
    I read elsewhere that people suggest changing camera settings to going to 1080i or 720 settings instead of 1080p60 to avoid some of the pitfalls that I (and others apparently) seem to encounter with these files. 
    Kind regards,
    Paul

  • Does Premiere Pro CC export omf from multicam sequences?

    I've got an hour long multicam sequence already cut and ready for OMFs to be exported when I realized that CS6 does not export the "inside" of the multicam audio clip (which is basically a nested clip). I've already edited the sequence to picture lock so there are many, many, many cuts (not just video, but also audio) so it's not as simple as unnest an audio clip - I would have to unnest ALL the multicam audio clip per cut (and there are a lot of cuts). Is there any way possible to work around this debacle? Does the new Premiere Pro CC fix this problem? From what I've researched, there isn't any proof in writing or from anyone's experience. For the future, I now know I have to unnest the audio before I go do any multclipping session, but for now - I need the quickest workaround and my fear is that I may have to just go to every audio clip and unnest...
    I've tried doing the Audition workaround, but that simply creates an OMF of the nest itself and not what is inside the nest which holds audio for two separate people. Using the Audition workaround basically merges the first person's audio resulting in the second person to be completely gone.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi yfury,
    In Premiere Pro CC, you can flatten your multi-cam sequence and then export an OMF from there. Right-click > MultCamera > Flatten.
