Video layer under lower third dropping out during share from Final Cut X

I am having a problem when I "Share" an H264 video file or when I upload directly to Youtube.  The Video that is under my lower thirds sometimes does not get output.  The video is there and plays fine when I hit the spacebar but when I "share" the project in some of the places where I have a lower 3rd the video is missing with on the the lower third being visible over black.  Any audio in the video is also missing.  Re-rendering often fixes the problem but it a real pain in an half hour show when I am crunched for time. 
Is anyone else having a problem like this and what is the solution?

This really seems to be a problem with some corrupt render files.
Delete render files, turn off background render and do not rerender before export.
Also, export to your hard drive first, then use the browser to upload. That way you have a chance to make sure it is all ok, rather than wait for the upload and conversion on youtube and then realize it came up wrong.

  • I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

    Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

  • Airplay dropping out during music playback

    Since all the software updates I have developed a very annoying problem between iTunes 10.5 on my Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) and my ATV2.
    If I am streaming from iTunes to the ATV2 using airplay I will get audio dropping out during playback. It happens intermittently and randomly. The song keeps playing on iTunes, but ATV2 isn't getting the audio.
    If I am pulling music or stored movies from iTunes the other way around (i.e. using the ATV2 menu) there is no problem. Everything works as expected, but of course I get no iTunes DJ and no crossfade between songs.
    I did notice that when this problem happens the wireless light on my router stops flashing, so I am assuming that iTunes is not buffering it's airplay, or perhaps there is some kind of a network error. At first I thought it might be too many devices active on the router, but this is never more than 4 items at once, including the ATV2.
    Anyone else with a similar problem?

    I think you're correct that Airplay doesn't buffer ahead, if it does it's a tiny amount, whereas the whole song can buffer when you pull/play direct on AppleTV.
    If you think about it too because you're applying effects in iTunes, crossfades etc these have to be processed not just played and I think itunes does this in real time rather than processing ahead of time in case you say adjust eq settings/volume etc.  Also, the Airport/Airplay devices playing 'live' effectively allows multiroom playback with a degree of synchronisation.
    The cutting out is to me a sign that data is not getting across the network as robustly now for some reason - I used to have terrible problems with cutting out streaming to an older Airport Express over wi-fi due to interefrence locally from microwaves, cordless landline phones etc.  Of course something may have changed given all the software updates but you'd expect the stuttering in iTunes if it was a processing bug.  If many others see the same could still be software related,but unless that's the case I'd say it's almost certainly the network.  ANyrthing changed? New competing networks from neighbours?

  • Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

    Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
    It's working fine.

    @ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    @ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
    My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

  • Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

    I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
    I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
    By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
    This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
    This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
    - Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
    - Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
    - Switch hard drives
    - Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
    - reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
    - switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
    None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
    Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
    Thanks

    For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
    Editing in FCP 6.0.2
    QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
    On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
    Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
    DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
    In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
    I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.
    Grr,

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

  • Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

    When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
    iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

    The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
    o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
    o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
    The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • Best video format to export from final cut pro to encore

  • Video quality bad when compresed from final cut pro to dvd studio pro. HELP

    Hello,
    I have a dvd project im working on and first i tried the video that i captured from final cut to just use in dvd studio pro but that didnt work. then i used the compressor and used the 60min high quality video and that looks even worse. what do u suggest i do?

    You must get to know what these settings do to be able to use Compressor. Try using a 10 second test of your video file and encoded at different settings to get a feel for how compression works.
    Min 4 and peak at 7, a difference of 3 between min and peak is a good start at CBR, but you must test.
    Just like using a video camera, if you use the same exposure setting all the time, most of your pictures will be unuseable, either too dark or too light.

  • Exporting HD video clips from Final Cut Pro in a format readable from IPad

    There are many ways to convert mp4 formatted videos into a file that can be sent to IPad via Itune and be read by IPad. However, my problem is that my videos are in a format 16 x 9 and the IPad screen is near 4 x 3 format and the pictures of my videos are squeezed horizontally.
    Which application could help me creating a letter box stype with black bands on top and bottom of the IPad screen so that I can have my 16 x 9 dimension of the picture kept correctly?

    Whatever your output from Final Cut, if you open in Quicktime and export or share and select Apple TV (iPad), your video shouldl be exported in a format playable on iPad.

  • Is it possible to export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera

    How can i export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera?
    Please advise....
    Thanks & Regds

    II'm afraid not.
    Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
    Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

  • Problem playing video made from final cut

    In my digital media class we use intel mac pros with the newest version of final cut pro. I made a 4 minute horror movie using a sony FX-1 HDV camera.
    When i exported it from final cut, i exported it as a quicktime using the HDV 1080i60 video codec. Then i brought the finished final cut quicktime clip in quicktime and exported it as a pure .mov file that is 881 megabytes in size.
    After that i put it on my flash drive and brought it home to my windows XP machine with specs listed below.
    I attempted to play the movie and it said i needed a codec to play it. There was no video but the audio was clear and pristine.
    Obviosly my PC is well beyond that of a normal consumer PC (seeing as it was built as a gaming PC) and it cant be that i havent met the requirements.
    I cant find the HDV 1080i60 codec any where on the internet and the apple support team doesn't list a phone # to call.
    I also have a 22" sceptre 2ms 300 nm, 2000:1 contrast ratio monitor capable of playing 1080p video so it cant be the monitor.
    can anyone help me to play the video. Im running the newest version of quicktime 7 pro.
    Help me plz, i would greatly appreciate it.

    Export to QuickTime movie and set the size to 1080 and the codec as H.264.
    Adjust the audio codec also to help reduce the file size.

  • I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.
