Trouble exporting with QT conversion

Hey all-
When I export using QT conversion, choosing the LAN/Intranet option, the export takes a couple hours and the product is, for lack of better a explination, "herky-jerky." Like there are frames dropped in it.
Most of the media in the original project suddenly went offline, and I can't find or reconnect it. Thankfully, I was able to export a full quality version just prior to this happening. So I'm just taking that file, importing it into FCE, and exporting it with the conversion. Which is assume is a fine solution. All rendered and mixed-down. Any suggestions?
I have FCE 4.0 and QT 7.6.

You should have edited your video in a Timeline that reflects the codec used in the original material.
Export a QuickTime movie using "Current Settings". No recompression or conversion.
The movie can be Self Contained or a Reference Movie.
Bring that file into Compressor. Choose a DVD Preset that fits your movie. For instance, Best Quality 90 Minutes if your movie is less than 90 minutes long. Click on "All" and delete the AIFF audio file from Compressor. Click on Submit. Wait.
Bring the m2v and ac3 files into DVD Studio Pro. Author and burn your DVD.
Alternative: Bring the exported movie from FCP into DVD SP and let the encoding take place there instead of in Compressor. Or as David suggests above, Export Using Compressor. Note that this will lock up FCP for the duration of the encoding.

Won't export with QT Conversion

Hi,
I'm trying to export my footage with QT conversion (mpeg2) with chapters for a PAL DVD. For some reason it's telling me I can't until I render it but this has been done. Is it to do with scratch space?
Thanks guys.
Chuck

Thanks David!
I've never struck that before and after doing what you suggested I also needed to manually do a 'full' render as opposed 'render all'. Weird as everything in the timeline appeared OK.
Exporting now.
Thanks again
Chuck

Trouble exporting with QuickTime 7 to UNCOMPRESSED 10-bit 4:2:2

I have succeeded with shorter videos, but my 90 minute video returns "error -2125".
Somehow I managed to do this before, I'm not sure what has changed on my system. Does anyone else have trouble exporting to Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 ? I'm now exporting to ProRes instead, but would prefer uncompressed video for the sake of quality.

You don't say what's the source of your clips.
If standard DV (..though I doubt that an agency would accept standard def video any more..) NTSC DV is compressed in the camera as 4:1:1, and PAL DV is compressed as 4:2:0 ..so you won't get true 4:2:2 from normal DV, unless you're using a broadcast camera (..probably feeding into the capture device via SDI inputs).
If the source was tape-based HDV or any other hi-def source, then iMovie converts that, during import, into Apple Intermediate Codec, and wouldn't be able to output proper Uncompressed 4:2:2 material.
For Uncompressed 4:2:2, I think you'll need to be using a dedicated capture card - and massive-capacity hard discs! - to be able to import the material in the first place.
iMovie certainly isn't the program to handle pro video of this nature.
Ask in the Final Cut Pro Discussions..
"..I've also tried doing this on my Macbook with Intel processor.." ..but maybe that's just not fast enough (older Mac portables have "shared graphics memory" ..meaning their graphics processor may have to compete with the main processor to temporarily grab free RAM)!

Trouble Exporting with DeNoiser

I'm having trouble exporting using DeNoiser in premiere. It's playing back fine in Premiere but after being rendered/exported the transitions buzz a bit.

Trouble exporting with compressor

Been working on a project with multiple exports with compressor -- working just fine. Without changing any settings, FCP 5.1.4 now says "this file contains no media" when I try to export new sequence. Running with two internal hard drives, one dedicated to video files only. Will export with quicktime okay and playback is fine. Thoughts, ideas?

Hi:
It's an old "bug?" in FCP and is related with folders opened/focused in FCP browser.

Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion

I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!
Dan

You are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD?

Trouble with .dwg conversion

When I try to convert a .dwg (CAD) file to a PDF file, I only see a small corner of my original file. The .dwg file is my layout page with multiple drawings on one sheet.
Any help?

No clue why your computer is acting this way.
Once you reboot the machine, stop using Quicktime conversion. Use Quicktime Export with "current settings". Take that file into Compressor and do your conversion to H.264 there. If you have a MacPro, set up a quick cluster in Qmaster. Things will go faster.

QT Conversion Export with DVCProHD 720p60 creates black bands. Help.

Help. A recent QT movie export, using the DVCProHD 720p60 settings, when opened in QT has thick black bands across the image. 3 on the left, 3 on the right and one right in the middle.
When I export using QT Conversion in DVCProHD 720p60 the exported film actually has these black bands in it.
Is this a codec issue? I recently downloaded the QT HD codecs and perhaps I installed the wrong one? Please help!

Hey Nick,
I did exactly as you suggested but the thick black rectangles/bands still appear down the left and right sides and one smack in the middle. I'd send you a screen shot if I knew how. It seems to happen only with the DVCPro HD export but this is what the footage is in and anything else may screw with the image.
Could it be a codec thing? Any other ideas?

Audio Does not export with ideo in quicktime conversion

I know i did something with a keyboard shortcut during the editing process, but i cant figure out what i did and how to change it back. What my issue is that when i try to export it to any format in quicktime (in quicktime conversion) the video is ok, but my audio does not export at all.
I dont know what went wrong but i should note i pressed something on my timeline that i didnt realize what it did. Its hard to explain what it looks like, when you press on different clips all the clips on my time line quickly turn a more silver/light color and then change back to the normal color(not effecting the video quality just the thumbnails). But it is has a weird color
is there a way i can reset all settings without adjusting my video clips?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Does the audio play when you run sequence?
Did you toggle off the monitor icon at the left side of timeline for audio track?
When export to quicktime conversion, select quicktime movie and click OPTION.
From this point, you should see a checkbox for SOUND. Be sure to check it ON.

Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

Dear All,
Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
All the best, Sean

Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...
Open compressor and in the Help menu, Select the user manual. Navigate to page 315.

Missing with chapter markers after Export Using QuickTime Conversion

I have my FCE workflow setup as follows:
I create the sequences using relatively large video source files, in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
Then, I use Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion to H.264 Codec, but my chapter markers are lost.
If I use Export -> QuickTime Movie, the chapter markers are preserved, but the codec is still AIC.
I need a compressed file with chapter markers. What am I missing?

One more time: "Where are you looking at the exported file? After making a DVD or somewhere else?"
Can you answer this for me? How are you looking at this material? Off the DVD you've burned? Is that what you're saying? Comparing the QuickTime Movie export to a DVD burned from a PhotoJPEG export? Or are you playing it from the computer to HDMI? If so are you using the QuickTime player? Is the QT player set to high quality playback? Yes, PhotoJPEG (not JPEG Photo) is a very large file especially at full quality. You probably don't need any more than 75% quality. I'd be very surprised if you say you can see the difference between 75% and 100%.
The length of the video is important not the size of the disc. iDVD's compression is fixed by the length of movie and the amount of content that has to be encoded.

Trouble exporting graphic with gradient

Hi,
I need to make a lower third bar that goes from blue at 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is when I export it as a QT file the black background is exported with it. How can I just export the bar?
Many thanks
Rod

when exporting the project you have to change in the export preset from "DV NTSC Movie" to "Lossless+Alpha Movie", and the the black background is no more tahn an alpha channel now... taht neans you have the black rendered trasparent
hope that helps...

Trouble exporting to DVDSP from FCP5

When I attempt to convert to Quicktime a message pops up with "data needs to be rendered first," although the red render bar isn't there. It's just grey in the bar area. What is going on here. HELP!!!

Export w/ Quicktime Conversion - aduio destroyed

I do a weekly video for posting on Vimeo.com. My normal method is to finish the editing, then export using Quicktime conversion. This is the easiest method to get the final movie file I need for use on Vimeo.
About a month ago I created a new user account on my Mac. This is one that I have dedicated to video editing only as I'm working toward starting an event videography business. Anyway, the first of my weekly videos seemed to go OK, but now all of a sudden for the last two I can't get a usable video. The video portion of the movie is fine, but the audio is shot. It's all scratchy/staticy. When I go into FCP all plays fine there.
I exported the video as a movie with no audio, along with the audio file that was imported to FCP to begin with, and dropped them on the hard drive, then went to my own user account. When I tried to open the project I got some error about it being for a newer version of FCP, so I just created a new project, and imported the video movie and the audio clip, and it exported as it always has, perfectly fine.
So, I know something is out of place on the other user account, but what could it be?

I did trash all 4 of the prefs and it still does this. I've never seen the prefs manager before, so I'll give that a shot.
The audio that is used is an AIFF file. I get the file as an MP3 (that's how it's recorded live on the fly) and I use Sound Studio to save it as an AIFF. I have to do some trimming on it each week, and Sound studio is the easiest for what I need. In Final Cut it doesn't show that it needs rendering, and I generally don't, because when I do I've had major problems in the past that I still can't track down. What it will do is basically cut the audio into three sections, then reverse the first two. But just like this, when you go back into the project and play the time line all is as it should be.
Also another bit of an update, I got rid of the audio file from my project and re-imported it, and it worked. For some reason it's fine the first time, but if I go to do it again, it will corrupt it, except it's only corrupt in the project, not the file itself. That's how I ran into this to begin with - I have an intro clip that I always put on, and I had accidentally dropped the decibel slider in the timeline for that clip. Otherwise it was fine. So I went back and brought the slider back to where it should be, and that's when the troubles happened. Ironically the audio problems were not in the part with that clip, only the main video part.

Aspect ratio problem with Quicktime Conversion from FCE HD 3.5

I have a FCE 3.5 HDV project (16:9 aspect ratio) which I am trying to export using Quicktime Conversion for eventual web-streaming. I have tried various settings including "maintain aspect ratio" and the "letterbox" options. After every multi-hour attempt, the end result is just what I need, except the aspect ratio is always 4:3 and vertically squeezed.
What settings should I use for a small to medium sized version of my movie for streaming on a website, but in the correct aspect ratio? I'd prefer a 16:9 Quicktime frame, or at least a 4:3 Quicktime frame with black bars.

I too have been having some problems, same software. Export to iPod completely ignores the intended aspect ratio and is non-adjustable and squeezes the footage. It looks fine on the canvas but gets messed up on export. A 4:3 video that should be 640x480 ends up being 640x426, and a 16:9 video that should be 640x360 looks to be getting 640x426 as well.
Currently, my work-around is to export to DV file, then export to iPod. Being a double encoding, it is quite wasteful in terms of time and processing power. Is there something else I can do?
