Uncompressed QT export

I am VERY confused!!
What is the consensus on exporting in an uncompressed 8 bit codec to iDVD or DVSP?
I edited on a DV sequence, but did add some Boris Title 3D screens and had to do some color correction. When I changed the sequence itself to 8 bit uncompressed, there were issues after rendering in the DV video sections (just blocks of color instead of video).
It seems so far, the graphics look great when exported in a better codec. Can the experts weigh in please.

Theory would state that if you up convert the DV to uncompressed, then edit in an uncompressed sequence, the graphics would look better. I think what you should do if you want this improvement, is to edit in DV, then before you add the graphics. (include the color correction in the DV sequence.
Select your DV sequence, then export using compressor. Use the preset for the advanced format conversion for uncompressed video. Reimport that file and add the graphics to it in a matching uncompressed sequence you've put the converted file in. You might gain enough quality for it to have been worth it. It also can be argued that if you do this conversion, you'll hurt the original DV video a bit.. but it might not be noticable and an OK trade off for the better looking graphics.

  • Help needed! White lines over uncompressed avi export - CS4 v4.2

    Hello,
    I am having problems exporting an uncompressed avi at max bit depth in Premiere Pro CS4. Whenever I export it, I get what is below. Please look at the image to get an idea of what it looks like. The quality is there, just the white lines are annoying.
    http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc291/madindehead/PremierePro_export_weird.png
    However, when exporting as an uncompressed avi with 8 bit bit depth, the quality is worse, but there are no white lines. I am using the UYVY codec. As you can see, the quality of the export is excellent, but it is spoiled by those lines. Does anyone know what could be causing it, and how can I fix it? I don't really want to use 8 bit depth, as the quality is nowhere near as good sadly.
    Thanks.

    I tried looking here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2105977#2105977
    Which led me to encoding the video with VirtualDub, using a lossless codec, and then re-exporting it from Premiere. However, exactly the same thing happened. I have found, that using Uncompressed Microsoft AVI, with Render at maximum depth selected and using the UYVY codec, definitely gives the best quality. If I un-tick "Render at maximum depth" the problem DOES NOT occur, however, the quality is nowhere near as good. So I think this is where the problem lies. You can see under that white layer, that the quality is there. But still no joy sadly.
    I am using StaxRip to encode the files as MP4 using the x264 codec, and this gives excellent quality, for the file size. As I am using this, I obviously want the highest quality output from Premiere that I can possibly get.

  • Uncompressed video export

    Hi everyone sorry for my english . But to the point. I've got a weird problem. I created a sequenc in Premiere CS4 from several mov files, in preview window it looked sharp. Next I wanted to export the sequence as uncompressed video (in media encoder I set file format to: Microsoft Avi and codec to: none, pixel ratio: square pixel). Rendered video size was about 3 GB but the quality of the video was very poor, it was very blurred. I'm not changeing the dimensions of the video sequence.
    Please help, i'm starting to pull my hair off .

    i'm using premiere cs4.
    trying to export the video to later compress it with virtualdub, but something gets fcuked up in the process:(
    the video will be like a square after VDUB has processed it. (xvid 2-pass encoding).
    any idea how to keep the original height of the video??
    premiere shows the source and output the same way, so i guess its VDUB that ruins it for me?
    any idea why does it do that?
    cs4 export settings:
    microsoft avi
    video codec: dv pal
    video: 720x576 @25fps
    field type: upper first
    aspect: D1/DV PAL (1.0940)
    my source is 720x576, 25.00fps avi file, taken out from somekind Canon's XM camera...
    or maybe there's a tutorial site of the same process somewhere? with all the details etc..
    thanks

  • How to compress my uncompressed AE export !!!

    am suffering from the huge size of my AE exports .. and from searching i knew that it's normal thing because the AE is not usually the last station in post production.
    but what if am done with my export file!!!
    is there any programs that reduce the size but keep the quality !!!!
    thanks in advance

    well, I enjoyed reading both of the suggested links

  • Slow export issue to 8bit uncompressed with a particular timeline.

    I have one particular project (<5 min duration) that just takes forever (3+hours) to export to an uncompressed 8bit NTSC QT movie, whether or not I make it a reference movie or self contained. It also takes a long time to render certain clips within the movie.
    If I export the same timeline using "current settings" instead of the 8bit uncompressed it exports in a matter of 3 minutes.
    I have no such slowness issues exporting other projects to 8bit uncompressed so I know it's not hardware limitations.
    I'm guessing it's not bad render files on the presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie- hence my existing render files status wouldn't be a dependency of the process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    I did notice however that the opening bumper clip takes a long time to render.. like 2 full minutes and it's only about 5 seconds long. This was a .motn file originally. I've used the same clip in other projects without issue.. maybe it's become corrupt? I'll answer back if that was it. Not in the editing room at the moment- but just thought I'd ask in case these symptoms spark any obvious solutions.

    You should render prior to export. Otherwise you end up with your system going thru the work to render, but afterwards, you don't have anything in your sequence rendered.
    The presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie
    Nope - it doesn't re-render unless it has to. Exporting in a format other than your timeline's format is a transcode. This does not require a re-render.
    You should be using Export Using QuickTime Conversion to transcode. Export Quicktime Movie is meant to use Current Settings...

  • Uncompressed exporting

    Hello,
    I'm exporting some short videos (about 2 mins) out of Final Cut Pro 7 and need them to be uncompressed. When I do this through File - export - Quicktime Movie and change it to uncompressed it exports fine but brings the frame size down to 720 x 576. They are short and edited in 1920 x 1080 and this is the size I need them to be. Why is it making them smaller? Is there anyway I can get it to export uncompressed 1920 x 1080?
    Thanks

    Ok....
    It is some videos for work - I can in part way through their filming of these videos and was given a lot of stuff that I've had to re-shoot or put back in the FCP and start all over again because they had mixed up PAL and NTSC throughout - but all these problems are fixed now and they are now ready to be exported - I have been trying out so many different options and just getting so confused with everything, been told so many different things and different things that they want and I'm sure there's a simple option out there.
    They are eventually going to a web page and need to be in .flv format. We need the quality to be the best it can be. The flash video player on the website has the option to make the videos full screen and these need to be a good quality image.
    The footage was shot on a Sony PMW-EX1 at 1920 x 1080 25fps. the sequence settings in FCP right now are 1920 x 1080, pixel ratio - square, field dominance upper (odd), compressor XDCAM EX 1080p25
    Thanks again
    Thanks Rienk for your quick reply.

  • How does a 1.6-gig clip become an 11-gig clip when exported from FCP?

    I captured some video and had to do it in two sessions because my camera kept dropping frames. My first clip was 600 megs, my second was 1 gig. I put them into the timeline and synced them up at the break spot. I wanted to have just one file to work on in Shake, so I exported the two clips as a Quick Time movie -- no compression, self-contained -- a 720 X 480 NTSC file.
    Even with no compression, I expected to get a 1.6-gig movie out of the export, but it was 11 gigs. Where did the extra data come from? And what is the extra data? It cannot get any more resolution than there was to begin with in the original two clips, right?
    Any tips on a more efficient way to handle this situation much appreciated.
    JimBe

    The two segments were each about three and a half minutes long. The camera was a Sony Handycam DV. I did not have any special settings when I captured, I made one choice, to capture both video and audio. Yes, I did select uncompressed when I exported.
    So the camera is acquiring with a codec, it sounds like, but if I select uncompressed on export does that mean FCP will uncompress the compressed footage captured by the camera? I did not think that was possible. Isn't all the information thrown away by the camera when it acquires the footage with its codec?
    I was thinking that "uncompressed" export would just give me back what I put in, a 1.6-gig file. I did not want to compress a second time.
    Is there an export format choice that just gives you what you had without any manipulation of the original data?

  • PAL files exported from FCP don't display

    This is a strange one... SD PAL uncompressed files exported from FCP 6.03 won't display, you just see black. HD files are fine, as are SD PAL files exported a while ago - prior to a recent pro apps or QT update possibly? As a workaround, if they exported via compressor instead of by 'export quicktime' in FCP, they work fine. Shake is 4.0 since 4.1 doesn't want to display via a decklink.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a new one.

    Does the computer your using to view this video have Final Cut Pro installed?

  • Quicktime Pro 7 on Snow Leopard displays black with uncompressed Quicktime

    Hi, I have searched these discussions but with no luck so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated but I have the feeling there may be no solution to my problem. Perhaps the new 64 Bit Quicktime 7 is missing the codecs I need.
    For more than five years I have been exporting uncompressed Quicktimes from an online workstation (Autodesk Flame) to my G5 to make small quicktimes to email clients to see work in progress, or to make file sequences for upload and also to make DVDs fro client presentations outside my online suite. I would export an uncompressed Quicktimes of, (for instance), a 30" TV Commercials (of around 1GB) from my online workstation fro my Mac to deal with. This week I changed my five year old G5 for a Snow Leopard Mac Mini. My Quicktime 7 Pro license transferred fine, but it seems to me Quicktime 7 is working quite differently and iDVD also. When I open an uncompressed quicktime created from my online workstation the video is Black , but I can hear the audio. It still allows me to make a small H264 quicktime but I can't export file sequences correctly. The frames created are black. iDVD also creates black DVDs but with sound. BTW I have the same problem if I export an uncompressed AVI from Flame.
    I thought it might be hardware limitation of the Mac-mini, but some simple tests indicate that's not the case. From my online machine I can export an uncompressed Targa file sequence of the Commercial and an uncompressed wav sound file instead of an uncompressed Quicktime. I can then use Quicktime 7 to put them together make an uncompresses quicktime from the Targa sequences combined with audio and it displays the video fine and I can do whatever I want with it, but it takes time to create. This uncompressed quicktime file is around the same size 1GB as the uncompressed movie file that I am trying to get Quicktime 7 to display, that I normally export from Flame. (And BTW the Mac Mini renders quicktimes nearly three times faster than my 2004 G5 and can play back the 1GB uncompressesd file it made with hardly a glitch, The G5 would choke if i tried to play an uncompressed movie).
    This kind of uncompressed Quicktime that I can make from Targa files using Quicktime 7 Pro seem to be exactly the same as the uncompressed Quicktimes my Autodesk Flame exports. In the properties window the video codec is "None, 720 x 576 Millions+" in both cases, and it is of course a .mov. So why the difference? My big problem is that the uncompressed quicktimes exported from Flame are not able to be handled as well by my Mac as before. I know I can export file sequences with a separate audio files and put them together in Quicktime but when I am working on a commercial I might want to do this 20 times a day. Exporting an uncompressed file with audio is much less hassle. I would just drop it in iDVD and make a DVD or get Quicktime to re-encode it for email. My Post Production clients pay me to work on the online workstation and I don't want to spend extra time on my Mac-mini. I was hoping to spend less....
    I hope I have been clear enough explaining my problem. Thanks very much for any tips.
    Regards,
    Harold

    Hi there,
    I can confirm that this seems to be a bug in Quicktime where it tries to multiply the alpha channel against the contents of your movie file.
    I had a bunch of Apple Animation quicktimes that are suddenly playing back as all black. I opened one of these movies in Shake and noticed that it had an all black alpha channel. So, as an experiment, I added an ellipse as an alpha channel (making sure it was not pre-multiplied against the image) and wrote this movie out as an Apple Animation. Sure enough, quicktime would now play back an image where the contents were only visible inside the the ellipse. I.e. it is multiplying the image by the alpha channel.
    So, the issue is that quicktime multiplies the alpha channel against the contents of the movie.
    The workaround is to re-encode your movies with solid white alpha channels (I have been unable to write out an Apple Animation movie without any alpha channel at all). Most likely you don't care what is in your alpha channel (the Apple Animation codec seems to add it whether you actively request it or not), but if you do, then I don't know how to get around this problem.
    Also... what a pain. I don't really relish re-encoding all of my quicktimes. I will also file a bug (or piggy back on the one already filed). Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

  • Alpha channel export question

    I have an editor that keyed the green screen out of some footage but because we're having a problem settling on a background (we're in different locations) I just want him to send me the keyed footage with the black transparent background so I can do that part.
    Is there a certain codec he needs to export with to keep the alpha transparent channel so I can place the background in? He's working in FCP 6 and I'm working in FCP7 but it's not going to be a project file, just a uncompressed .mov export from final cut. It was shot with HD 720p.
    Thank You,
    Steve

    '' wrote:
    Don't render the Animation codec sequence or the alpha channel
    will be re-written with a black bg.
    Just to clarify: Prepare your sequence with alpha, make sure it's what you want,
    (which may require rendering).
    Then, just before you export, do something to force FCP to require a re-render
    (like deleting the render file) and +export without rendering+. That will avoid
    the black background, and your transparency will be transparent.

  • Possible Export QT 29.97fps workaround

    Exporting from Keynote as 29.97 doesn't work when you specify that frame rate. KN produces its own off-standard frame rates that can be quite different from the one expected. There doesn't seem to be an internal way to have it respect 29.97fps or any exact specified rate.
    This may not be an issue unless the movie is destined for DVD or tape.
    Workaround (requires Quicktime Player Pro or FCP or Compressor):
    Export UNCOMPRESSED QUICKTIME from Keynote with settings to suit - In my case, destined for DV: NTSC 29.97, 720x480.
    There doesn't seem to be a way to change default settings, so each export has to be set manually to the desired spec.
    Could try Animation or other high quality codec if drive space is an issue.
    Perhaps could try Apple lossless.
    This will yield correctly sized image, but with odd frame rate i.e. a fraction below or above 29.97.
    Open the uncompressed file with QT Player Pro.
    Inspector will show that it's an odd frame rate, but the image is excellent quality (best you can get).
    If you don't have hardware to play real time, just scrub through to check image quality.
    Now export from Player Pro as QT movie -Conversion to desired format i.e. ntsc dv, and specify 29.97 frame rate.
    The movie should now be standard frame rate for the specified codec.
    I recommend uncompressed initial export to minimize any degradation due to interpolating or reprocessing. I don't know how the frames are adjusted to proper timing …perhaps the image frames are not affected at all and the timebase is adjusted. Dunno. Uncompressed video of course requires lots of drive space. However, once the conversion is made to the specified frame rate in the desired compressed format, the uncompressed clip can be trashed.
    More:
    It appears that QT Player Pro will not consistently convert all movies to the proper frame rate. One of mine ended up slightly more than 29.97 but played ok in a FCP timeline set for DV specs.
    I started exporting the uncompressed version from a Final Cut Pro timeline and results are correct so far with several movies.
    Could do the same with Compressor.
    This program clearly wasn't intended to support standard video production time bases, or any other base as far as I can figure. I suspect that given all the Keynote audio sync problems reported, the core cause is likely a horribly conceived and implemented timebase.

    Hi-
    OK, 1080i HDV 29.97fps IS the correct format for editing HDV. When HDV is described as 1080 60i it means; This video is +1080 pixels tall, 60 interlaced (fields per second.)+ And as we all know, there *are 2 interlaced fields per frame of video*. In NTSC this is not an even 30 fps because the TV set needs time to rescan to the top of the picture to start the next field (this is called the vertical interval) so the actual frame rate is 29.97 frames per second. This is correct and standard.
    So if you are capturing HDV 1080 60i video the correct setting is 1080 29.97fps.
    And if you are trying to export your video at 60 FRAMES per second (120 FIELDS per second) then the clip you export will be half as long in duration as it is supposed to be, because you have doubled the correct frame rate of 30 fps (NTSC 29.97) to 60 frames per second. That means it will run twice as fast as it should.
    If you are doing any exporting, you need to export at the correct frame rate (same as source which in this case is 29.97 FRAMES per second.
    I hope this helps.

  • Premiere HD sequence keeps crashing during export

    Hi there everyone,
    Today I experienced a problem completely new to me. I tried exporting an HD sequence to a small WMV for use on the web. I used Ctrl-M (export media) to export directly without using the queue. No matter what kind of export settings I entered, the export render fails roughly halfway and Premiere hangs. I also tried an uncompressed Quicktime export, which crashed at about 25% in the same manner.
    The workaround for this issue appeared to be using the queue instead of a direct export... which comes a little strange to me as SD sequences never seem to fail like this. Anyone any ideas?
    Thanx in @vance,
    Tom

    Hi Harm,
    Thanks for taking time to answer. What happens is I get a Windows error message stating 'Premiere has stopped working' and I can choose to end the program straight away or let Windows find a solution and then stop the program; a definitie frozen situation. So I guess it stops responding.
    I have a Matrox MX02 LE graphic system, Windows 7 SP 1, version 5.0.3 of Premiere, HD source material (1440x1080) in the standard Matrox HD codec and I have tried exporting to a 1024 x 576 Quicktime with compression set to NONE for both audio and video. I also tried exporting to WMV 1024 x 576 in the highest variable unconstrained bitrate for A/V available.
    There are no blank spots in the timeline.
    As said, using the queue feature for export, leading to the full start of the Media Encoder appeared to be a workaround.
    Then again, I tested exporting the same thing directly, so without queuing, from an SD project, which worked nicely.
    I therefore suppose it must have something to do with the HD to SD conversion, but it beats me what it could be.

  • LR 2.5 won't export TIFF files with LZW or ZIP compression??

    I've just updated to LR2.5 and CR5.5, I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 on an AMD x2 64 bit pc.
    LR worked fine until 2.4 came along and hijacked all my auto play settings. Adobe finally releases 2.5 and now I find if I export TIFF files from a Nikon D700 NEF all I get is a black box the same size as the image??? If I turn LZW or ZIP compression off and export uncompressed the export works again. JPEG also exports ok.
    Anyone else getting this? Have you found out what's causing it?
    James.

    Thanks for the feedback Jao,
    I just tried across the whole range of TIFF options and the only files that don't give me a black file are 8bit and 16 bit with no compression. LZW and ZIP both stuff up
    Might try a complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes things. These sorts of things only happen when you are in a rush to get lots of work done!

  • Premiere Bad Export vs. After Effects Clean Export

    I encountered this problem many years ago, but since it accours in every version of Premire Pro it's time to find a solution.
    Mainly what bothers me is that every video I export out of Premire CS4 isn't as clean as if I would export it out of After Effects.
    I had two situations:
    1. I made one animation in After Effects, exported the video in the loosles format to see how it looks and the video looked great and very clean.
    Than I imported the after effects composition via dynamic link into Premiere CS4 and put some music underneath. Than I exported the video out of Premiere CS4 with the Media Encoder into some HQ versions like Pal DV, .mov, .h264, Targa sequences...and the video just wasn't as clean as the one exported directly from After Effects.
    What is wrong? Is there a Premire encoder bug? I had this problem also with earlier version of Premiere.
    2. I shot a film in HDV for a company. I edited the material in Premiere CS4 and since I exported it for 4:3 I scaled the video down. So there were more than enought pixels to make the image clean. But after exporting it out of Premiere CS4 the PAL DV image quality just wasn't clean.
    I imported than the entire Premiere sequence into After Effects and exported the video from there and I got a great and clean looking PAL DV video.
    Again. Is there a bug in Premiere encoder?
    I like Premiere but since I can not get a nice image quality out of it I'm planing to go over to FinalCut Pro.
    Does any one have a solution for that problem?
    Thank you very much
    Agetis

    Thanks Jim and Harm!
    Jim, I exported the animation in the 1. scenario as a progressive video. There was no interlacing and I still got bad results with Premiere.
    Harm, I gathered for you fresh uncompressed image exports from Premiere and After Effects.
    Sample 1 - Uncompressed Tiff from Premiere CS4
    Sample 2 - Uncompressed Tiff from After Effects CS4
    I don't think Encore has anything to do with this problem. Because the DVD (.m2v files) wasn't transcoded with Encore but with Premire and AE.
    Anyway here are the DVD settings:
    1. Premiere settings for the DVD:
    MPEG2-DVD
    PAL High Quality
    Video Settings:
    Quality: 5
    Tv Standard: PAL
    Frame W: 720
    Frame H: 576
    FPS: 25
    Fields: Lower
    Pixel: 4:3 (1.09)
    CBR: 8 MB
    2. After Effects settings for the DVD:
    Are exactly the same as Premieres. Fields are also Lower.
    The video in AE was exported via Render Queue.
    I still don't think that this is a issue of codecs. From my point of view it's still more likely that Premiere has an export bug.
    Please try it out and let me know.
    Thanks
