Trying to export a small video using Quick Time conversion

Hi...i apologize if this is a stupid question...i'm still kind of new at FCP. I'm trying to export a small one and a half minute video into a Quicktime file that's less than 1 GB. I exported as a Quick Time movie and it came out to 2.6 GB. I tried compressing using Compressor that and it took over 2 hours so I canceled it. I then tried exporting using Quick Time conversion and it came out to 66 MB, which is more what i'd expect. Except that the picture was only in the upper left hand corner of the Quick time viewer...the rest was black. I tried adjusting the dimensions, etc. but it didn't work. Any idea why this is happening? Are there some standard settings I can use for this? The video is for the internet so I'm not too terribly concerned about the picture quality. Thanks.

What format is your media, Easy Setup and what are your Sequence Settings?
They should all match.
When you export, do so using the following path: File > Export > Export to QuickTime.
Make sure that "With Current Settings" and " Make Movie Self-Contained are selected.
This will give you an independent movie that is not compressed and uses the same codec as your source material.
Depending on how you want to deliver your movie will determine what happens at the next stage.
Post some details about it.

    Does it always happen at the same time during the export?
    Can you play through the entire Sequence in FCE without any problems?

    Have you rendered fully prior to exporting?

  • How do I export a Final Cut Express 4 movie using quick time conversion without stretching the image?

    I have created a movie in Final Cut Express 4 using videos and still photos of various aspect ratios and resolutions.  Some of the photos are verticals.  When I try to use File>Export>Using Quick Time Conversion, my images end up being stretched horizontally when the video is finally processed.  I have tried preserving the aspect ratio but the video still ends up stretched horizontally.  What should my settings be in Quick time conversion?  I just want to make a video for YouTube.
    Thanks.  -Bob

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Final Cut Express Quits when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2

    I'm new Mac user and I'm trying to compress a movie from Final Cut Express HD when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format when I do that Final Cut application quits.
    and if helps you to answer I have the same problem trying to do the same from iMovie HD and from Adobe Premier 6.5

    "exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format"
    I'm not sure how you can get to that point: I cannot even find MPEG2 in my list of compression types while exporting with QuickTime Conversion... (I have 31 of them, and QT 7 Pro installed).
    In any case, if you want to make a DVD and have iDVD installed, you have simply to Export/QuickTime Movie (without conversion): iDVD will take care of compressing your movie for you before burning the DVD.

  • Can't use Final Cut Express Export Using Quick Time Conversion with iDVD.

    I am using iDVD 08v 7.0.4 and until 3 days ago I could import and create iDVD's using Final Cut Express export using Quick Time Conversion. There was an update that downloaded for iDVD. Since then, I can only use Final Cut Express Exports that is a self contained Quick Time Movie.
    I have never had this kind of apple and apple problem. I am disappointed that I'm having apple issues like this.

    Are you on latest 10.5.x release and latest FCE updates? Your info line says 10.5.1 and you didn't list FCE version. Not saying that will fix problem, but might help. You also might want to explain how you did your Quicktime conversion.

  • FCE crashes when export using Quick Time

    Hi All,
    When I select "Export - Using Quick Time Conversion", FCE crashes. I tried to repair permissions and rebooted but it did not help.
    Export using QT was working fine last week. I did some maintenance checks with Onyx over the weekend. Could it be the problem.
    Any suggestions for fix?

  • Exporting Large videos as image sequences using Quick Time Convert

    I am trying to export some fairly long videos as image sequences >10000 frames with Final Cut Pro using the quick time conversion tool.
    I am working with SD and HD videos.
    While some sequences export without error (both SD & HD) occasionally an "error" occurs which results in the 10000th frame (and in one case the 1000th frame) not being written. The File is opened as "MyVideoName#FFFFFFF.png" but no data is written to it. (Obviously it should be MyVideoName10000.png)
    There is 500Gb of free space on the disk I am writing to.
    At the moment I can't even work out why it fails in some instances - apart from the fact it seems to be related to the file name.
    I would appreciate any help any one can offer!
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply!
    So far I've not managed to come up with a workable solution.
    Exporting as an image sequence is infact a work around... I originally was planning to export the videos as uncompressed .avi files but (as documented elsewhere) this does not work for videos >10Gb.
    Some videos have exported fine both those longer and shorter than 10000 frames. However, for some videos only the first 9999 frames are exported. As a workaround I was planning to export the remainder of the videos seperately (as a subclip) but this only managed to export the first 999 frames (the 1000th file opened is called MyVideoName#FFFFFFFF, but no data is written to it).
    At the moment I can't find any explanation for the cause of this problem. Are there any logs or any way to get more detailed error information?
    Thanks again for your help,
    John

    Thanks for the follow up.
    From what you wrote, you have Premiere Elements 10. Is that on Windows 7 64 bit or other. For now I will assume Windows 7 64 bit. If version 10 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit it is a 64 bit application running in the 64 bit system which makes it possible for full use of the 64 bit resources. That is good news especially when you are trying to take a large project to completion.
    You set up the project preset in the new project dialog to match the properties of your source media. That setting directs the program to establish the right space in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes. That project preset also directs the program as to what disc menu set (s, w, or hd) will be available to you in the disc menu section. The project preset also has more subtle effects on the project settings.
    What is you plan for exporting your Timeline, export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray? Keep in mind that the setting for the project preset do not prohibit variations in the export choice under most conditions. If you post a description of your source media and how you would like to export it, I will offer some very specific guidelines on that.
    If you do go the purchased book route, please try for one which is specific to your version 10. There has been a marked change in interface starting with version 11. Often principles remain the same from version to version, but features do not. And, I always write "It is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature."
    I suggest that you start with the Premiere Elements 10 Help PDF and then decide what next.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/10.0/Using/index.html
    Also check out
    http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-premiere-elements-10/
    A lot of these links that say version 10, roll over to 11.
    Steve Grisetti, the moderator of this forum, writes books on Premiere Elements if you are interested in the purchased book route.
    Hope the information above is helpful. Above all do not hesitate to ask if you have questions on your Premiere Elements workflow or need clarification on anything written.
    Thanks.

  • When exporting a small area using in-out points, why does Premiere render audio for ENTIRE sequence?

    I'm trying to export a small section of my timeline using in and out points... but it looks like Premiere wants to render the audio for the entire sequence and not just my in-out points.
    I added a bunch of audio effects to the entire sequence so it's taking 10 minutes to render this audio. When I click on the cancel button, Premiere just freezes and I have to force shut it down.
    Is it possible for premiere to only render the audio in the in-out points I originally asked for to cut down on export times?
    -Pete

    Similar problem here but on a Mac.   AME is always much slower than directly exporting from Premiere, but if I start to get slow renders a reboot always sorts the issue out.

    Trying to watch a video on quick time player and i keep getting this message You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. what do i need to install and how

    I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
    The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
    http://www.perian.org/
    and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.

  • Using quick time videos (for web)

    Hi guys,
    In my project I am using quick time videos within director,
    which work fine when it is published and play back in the
    projector. However when I export for web, the videos don't play
    back in the web browser. Is there something I am missing when
    exporting?
    Many thanks,
    Rich

    Yeah, I did upload them in their relative folder. They are
    about 15MB each and 30 seconds long. I don't have a "dswmedia"
    foler, what do I need to do with that? The error message I get
    is...
    "This application requires an Xtra (QuickTime) that either
    does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure
    the appropiate Xtras are in the Xtras folder"
    Thanks!

  • Export using quick time

    Hi there everyone
    I have just exported using quicktime and the appropriate settings in imovie, when I went into idvd to set up and bring in movie it said that it hadn't been prepared for sharing and to share using media browser. Do I have to also do this if I have exported using quick time ?
    Or as normal am I missing something
    Thanks

    Mate trust me stick to the computers i'd say...... It was fun and I miss it alot but its not easy. We were farming a particular species called discuss hanni - asian i think and they are so delicate compared to others, they're the hardest to keep from dying and maintain a decent growth rate but they fetch serious money..... Its ok for the farms in japan and places alike as labour is so cheap but we were here in I Ireland and Labour is lets just say a wee bit on the expensive side. To cut along story short we were flying it we were the biggest farm farming that species in Europe and the first in the world to start using recirculatin water systems ( only use 5% fresh sea water per day ) - less pumping costs and manual cleaning labour costs. We were looking to sell 100 ton a year so needed appropriate investment - around 5 mill over 10 years - along came mr recession investors pulled out and bang. I now wake up in the morning look over the sea and see a ghost farm out on the point....... Thats why I have now ventured into the wedding business ( video booths ).......
    Ireland is not in a good place at the mo....
    Thanks for help

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road. 

  • Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

    Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

    Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.
