Visual glitches in exported QuickTime movie (but not in FCP); any ideas?
We shot a short film with a Sony camera (standard def), but it apparently isn't compatible w/ FC Studio software. So we captured and did a rough-cut on my friend's PC rig (Adobe Premiere Pro), burned raw files of our rough cut on to dvd's, then transferred from those discs to my rig. The codec of this footage worked fine in FCP, but wasn't supported by Color. So I used Compressor to convert all referenced files to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), as it seemed the best conversion I tried (no loss of film quality) and obviously now is supported by Color.
However, the final rendered QuickTime movie (exported from FCP) had some odd visual glitches that occur right before the end of a clip (perhaps 10-15 frames before the end): it's like the brightness or gamma level suddenly drops a noticeable amount right at the end of a clip (again, ~10-15 frames). I couldn't say for sure if it's the last 10-15 frames that are appropriate and the REST of the clip is what's out of whack.
Initially, I thought it was a problem with Color (as these were Color-corrected sequences I was exporting). But I just tried it with a non-color corrected sequence, and the errors are still there.
Any ideas what's going on? Any suggestions/solutions? Did I pick an inappropriate conversion on Compressor?
I think this may be an AVI conversion glitch.
Well I am guessing that from Premiere Pro they came out as AVI? If that is the case well the best thing to do would be to open it with Quicktime Pro and export it as DV/DVCPRO NTSC .MOV
From there you should be able to bring it into FCP without a hitch and then put color down,
But in order to save time I would try first exporting just that last little segment again throwing it into Compressor and see if it comes out okay. It may be that on capture there was some dropped frames on the end so double check that last little bit.

Export>Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export>Quicktime movie?
When you converted the original files via MPEG Streamclip, what did you convert them to?
Have you tried trashing your preferences in FCP? Trashing FCP prefs is usually the first step when FCP is performing strangely.

i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?
PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band. PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back. You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition. Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction. NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

After lots of different things, it appears that my Airport won't let me download on to my Nook. It used to but not anymore. Any ideas?
Hi Karen,
The means that iTunes can no longer locate the songs (mp3/m4a) on the hard-drive and as such they won't even play in iTunes, let alone transfer to your iPod.
Have you recently re-organised your music folders? If you know where these songs are on your hard-drive then you could clear all of the tracks that display the symbol from iTunes and then add them again from their location either through the 'add folders to library' function or by dragging and dropping them diectly into iTunes from Windows Explorer.

Scratching sounds on Quicktime movie but not on iMovie
I was wondering why, when I listen to the video on iMovie, does it sound fine but save with these loud scratching noises. There's absolutely no reason for it. It's off a new CD. It doesn't do it when I'm watching on iMovie. But when I save it and open the Quicktime movie there's loud scratching noises... What is that?
Sorry to make it look like advertisement, but I copied a small part of the video.
http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n50/TripPix_2006/Personal/?action=view¤ t=scratches.flv
It scratches three times, mostly in the second half of the video. I'm not sure if it's because the video is overloaded. It just seems to do this on THIS video and none of my other ones. The size of the iMovie file is 2.62 GB so that might be a reason, but I'm hoping it's something fixable.
Any help would be great. Thank you. -

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when I'm in Apple Mail, but not always. I have been restarting and it seems to work fine. Any ideas what it might be? I just repaired permissions.
thanks!

Thanks,

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work. -
the protocal that works in IE is

This drive is shared and opens in IE but Firefox gives msg
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (p) isn't associated with any program.You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

I developed my web site and published it with myserver. However only the first page shows up, no other pages, and the links to the other pages are missing on the welcome page. The host tells me that it is a software problem, that the pages are on the server. Pleae advise?
Thank You.Rest assured, your pages are there :
http://www.lynxag.com/Welcome.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Products.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Contact_Us.html
http://www.lynxag.com/feed.xml
You could have determined the presence of the pages by typing the pagenames in the URL.
The second option was to connect to the server and see with your own eyes what is there.
And since you do not use a Sitename in the URL, I assume you uploaded the files yourself instead of letting iWeb do the honours.
Regarding the Photo page, I do not see any photos on the page. Yet they are on the server too :
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos_files/Media/
If you did put the files on the server yourself, verify that you did upload every single file iWeb creates.
Edit : since the directories are open, you may want to consider closing them. Ask your webhoster to do it for you. -

"Share Error: Quicktime 0" error message in FCP - any ideas why?
Getting an error that states "Share Error: Quicktime 0" when using the share function to write to blu-ray. Of course, this comes at about 3 hours into a four hour encode, and of course everything is lost after this completely useless message. I've got the most recent version of QT, all the updates have been added, etc.
I burned one BD and one BD on DVD with no problems, and nothings changed. I've gotten this error twice in a row now, and rendering for three hours just to get this is beyond annoying.See if anything here helps: iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.
Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens
I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers? -
