When export imovie 6 file to quicktime it freezes

What causes it to freeze when exporting imovie 6.0.3 files to quicktime?

Hi
I would open the iMovie HD6 movie project (icon with a Star on it - opens by ctrl-click on it and select Show package/Content)
Here I find
• three folders and two documents
• The folder - Shared Movies - contain two folders (at least) - GarageBand and iDVD
• iDVD folder contain a QuickTime ref movie   moviename.mov (eg My fantastic movie.mov)
This I open in QuickTime Pro and Export as self-containing in any format I like.
(The QT.mov in iDVD folder is a ref document = very small and containing no movie at all - but able to create one from by Exporting in QuickTime)
Yours Bengt W

  • Exporting iMovie Files

    Was wondering if anyone knows about exporting iMovie files to Final Cut Pro. I have two questions:
    1) Is there a way to actually export the sequence of files (i.e. the timeline) so that you can open an iMovie file in FCP and see the same sequence of files that was laid out in iMovie.
    2) I've split clips in iMovie, yet when I import those files into FCP, the split doesn't appear. In other words, the dv file shows up as the single original clip, and not two smaller clips.
    Thanks!

    jhsimon,
    I'd use File>Share>QuickTime>Full Quality DV to output your movie.
    Then import the resulting file to FinalCut.

  • Mixed fonts when exporting ePub file from InDesign

    I am an ePubs newbie and have been watching some of the training videos on Lynda.com and  tried creating my first ePub document today.
    I am having problems with mixed fonts when exporting the file and viewing on iBooks on an iPhone.
    I have a document with paragraphs of text to be in a regular weight and certain words within the paragraphs are to be picked out in bold. So I've used a Paragraph Style for the main text and then used a Character Style to pick out the bold words. Simple enough!!
    On export I am not embedding any fonts as I have unchecked that option on the export dailaogue. I have used the same font family in InDesign, but I cannot work out why I am getting both Serif and Sans Serif fonts displaying when viewing it on the iPhone. The main body appears in the Sans Serif font, but I have the bold character styles, subheads and even the numbers in the numbered lists are all displaying in a Serif Font.
    In iBooks I can change the display font (I have the choices: Georgia, Iowan, Palatino, Seravek and Times New Roman) and this affects the fonts which are displaying as Serif, but the main body font remains constant as a Sans Serif (looks like Helvetica).
    I would ideally like all the fonts in the document to display as Sans Serif with certain words, plus the headings and subheadings to be in the bold weight version of the same font family.
    I've tried this in CS5.5 and CS6 with the same results.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please.

    Hi Steve,
    Yes, you are correct. It is Anne-Marie Concepcion's videos that I've been watching.
    I understand what you are saying about testing in other readers and I will be looking into that further. However our main task is to get some of our client's manuals and documents into a digital version that can be read on  Apple devices, as these are what are being used by their sales force.
    We have already produced some documents for use on the iPad and have used iBooks Author for that with some success. They have now asked about getting something onto iPhones, so we are now looking into the ePub format to do that. I realise that ePubs can also be used on iPads, but we would still be pushing the iBooks Author files for use on iPads as there is more interactive widgets that can be included. But the main ePub reader that will be used is going to be iBooks, so we are looking to get something to work in that App. Other formats may follow, but we are starting with getting something to work on iBooks first.
    I have tried viewing the file in Adobe Digital Editions as you have suggested and have to say that this displays the file in a way that is certainly more appealing, as the fonts are at least consistent. However, I understand from Anne-Marie's videos that ADE is rather basic and is only intended as a rough proofing device. Which is why I transferred my ePub to my iPhone and iPad to view in iBooks.
    As I have mentioned, I am a total ePub newbie. I come from a mainly print background and my knowledge of CSS and HTML is very basic. I have an understanding of the concepts, but I would always rely on developers to produce websites that I may have designed.
    You seem to be implying that it may be in iBooks where the issues lie and from viewing the file in ADE this would certainly look that way. So I am simply trying to establish what I would need to do to make it work in iBooks in a more satisfactory way.
    I have included some screen grabs below to illustrate my problems...
    ePub viewing in ADE
    If it looked like this on the iPhone I would be relatively happy!!!
    ePub on iPhone
    The main body copy is displaying in a sans serif font (Helvetica?) yet the heading, subheadings, numbers of the numbered lists, address, URL and legal line are all displaying as a serif font. All the style sheets are assigned to the same font family in InDesign (Helvetica). I have managed to get the bold text to appear in the sans serif font, by mapping the character style to the "strong" tag in the Export Tagging dialogue. All other paragraph styles are left as "Automatic".
    I can change the font in iBooks and this affects the displaying of all styles apart from the main body, which stays consistently in the "Helvetica" font.
    iPhone Fonts
    iPad Fonts
    On the iPad I'm also getting some elements coming in justified which looks awfull (see the main heading above). This image also shows how changing to an alternative font changes the heading and subheadings, but does not affect the main body!!!
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks

  • LR4beta shuts down when exporting .cr2 files

    LR4beta shuts down when exporting .cr2 files..exporting them too .jpgs while only changing the size?

  • Looking for some help with an error message when exporting master file. I'm stuck and would even pay to get this sorted out!

    Hey guys, I'm really in a bind here and need some urgent help tonite. I would even be willing to pay for some actual help and not some vague information that i may not be able to understand if we could do something via skype or some other way that would be much quicker than a message board. Of course I have to have the project done by tomorow . so I'm new to fcpx, but have succesfully exported 2 other projects. I've also ran into this predicament before (error message not allowing me complete export) and have been able to solve that by converting the files i imported off my camera (canon g20) to a different file type (prores).
    so where I'm at now: i have a 13 min short, all shot on my canon g20, imported and converted to prores422 with the brorsoft video converter with all the shots in a single event in fcpx. i'm using fcpx version 10.0.08. I have one main video track in my timeline that is completely full of very fast edits. (all quick 2-5 second clips, sped up shots in 2x, 4x, or 8x, tons of transitions, titles, and a little fx. theres 2 audio tracks, one is narration/speech and the other is an ongoing music track that constantly ducks everytime the subject speaks (tons of ducks/edits). Have you seen mtv cribs? Well i filmed an EXACT replica. So If you've seen one of those episodes, its literally the same exact same thing. I have all of my work completed, everything has been fully rendered, and i have it exactly as I want it.
    I'm including all this information in case it may help. my successful projects ive exported in the past were rather simple, and this one is very complex and full of edits. here is what it looks like in the timeline:
    Ive tried exporting the master file using almost all the different ways with no luck. My primary objective is to get it on youtube by any means by tommorow for a showing to a potential buyer (long story) and so I've been told using the h.264 is the best format for that. This, along with the other methods give me the same error message:
    It think it gives this error message when i reach 24% everytime during export.
    So first of all, what is that error message? Do i need to be concerned about the specifics of it, or is there something major that I'm missing? Like i said, i dont care how, but I need to get this video up on youtube tonite for an important viewing tomorrow. Conceptually, I think if i can figure this one out I shouldnt have any more trouble in the future doing something so basic, yet critical, such as exporting my 40+ hours of work for someone to see.
    anyway, I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge with this software, and for my extremely long winded question which will probably have the opposite effect for me as most wont want to take the time to read all this, BUT i figured if i was as thorough as possible it might help actually getting a concrete answer, instead of a "read the manual, exporting is on page 37." or "use the share button on the right of the timeline then just click export master file and it will work everytime."
    Cheers everybody, and thank you. Like i said if someone is up, and willing to talk via skype, phone, messanger or any other method that works for you I would be totally down and will compensate you generously for your time. thanks again.
    Taphabit

    boom! that advice was correct and worked. i was able to export the full project as a quicktime movie and it can be uploaded to youtube.
    NOTE, theres is definately quite a few noticeable audio glitches/lags/pops that werent there before doing this. I believe, and will test to make sure, that having a project such as this one needs to render before exporting. I'm not sure if the advice requires the project to be unrendered before exporting for a specific reason, because if it will export fine after rendering the project that's the way to go. like i said the edited version i have in my timeline plays back perfectly but this exported version has quite a few noticeable audio glitches (a few video glitches too). I'm going to retry doing the first few steps of your advice, but then at the end render, then export and compare the results...
    OK, so this leads to a big question, Is this something that is standard for everyone when trying to export? If its not, what causes this error?
    is there any way of preemptively avoiding it in future projects?
    thanks again, and hopefully this information will help others as exporting seem to be one of the biggest problems in fcpx. any word on a new patch or firmware update?

  • What's the best encoding format to export iMovie files?

    So far I experted various compressions starting from H.264 and NTSC HD, although the result ends up in lots of 'noise' in the final file (which I don't have on the original clips). Any suggestions to get the absolutelly best quality from an iMovie file to a QT file or similar?

    Best is the default SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE which will be an h.264 file.
    By tinkering with the QuickTime Settings, you may be able to get a smaller file, but it is unlikely that you will improve on the quality.

  • Can't play exported imovie .dv in quicktime

    I made a movie in imovie and exported it as a dv but when I open it in quicktime it is blank (meaning it plays for the duration of the film but there is nothing on the screen), I know the information is there because I can watch the preview play in finder. I also tried exporting as a mov etc. but the result is the same.
    As a little bit more background, I did export it to idvd and successfully made a dvd HOWEVER the quality was awful and I really need it to be very good quality. The film is a stop-motion created in imovie because I could control the transition times better than any other program. The movie is going to be played from another mac and looped continuously. So I do not need a dvd, just a full quality version that will play with quicktime!!

    Try VLC.

  • I get an error when exporting imovie

  • Exporting Large File to QuickTim

    My file is almost 18GB when exporting to QuickTime. What is the best way to compress to a smaller size with out affecting the picture quality too much??
    I need the project on one dvd.
    Thanks!

    Don't worry about the file size. Export to a normal Quicktime Movie, and import it into iDVD. iDVD will handle the compression so it fits on a normal DVD. Exporting to Quicktime will guarantee maximum quality, and iDVD will make sure it fits on your disk. The only reason it would be a problem is if the movie is longer than 2 hours.
    If you want the file size to be smaller, uncheck the +Make Movie Self-Contained+ box in the +Export to Quicktime+ window.

  • Mov files and quicktime keep freezing computer

    Hi all, im new to this. My new digital camera outputs mov movies. When i play mov movies in quicktime, it plays for about 5 seconds then the computer completely freezes. This also happens when i try and play them in other players such as VLC and windows media player. I tried to reinstall quicktime but on installation it freezes the computer towards the end of installation when it does file extension types. Now i have a partially installed quicktime, and still cannot play these movies!! Really look forward to, and appreciate any help, as this has been annoying me for ages now. Many thanks, Andrew

    It should also be noted that even opening quicktime without playing a movie freezes the computer also!
    Cheers

  • Uploading iMovie file or Quicktime file to YouTube

    Is it possible to upload my iMovie file (which is in Quicktime) to YouTube? It's about 4 1/2 minutes. When I tried, I got the message: "Failed, .mov file empty" ----or something like that. Step by step help would be great - I'm not very proficient.

    You don't need to post a question more than once, it just gets confusing for people trying to respond.
    I posted a reply in your other topic.

  • Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

    Hi:
    I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
    flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
    very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
    very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
    before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
    it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
    as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
    to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
    the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
    have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
    would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
    and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
    the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
    the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
    may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
    placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
    causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
    .swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
    Sara

    I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
    reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
    and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
    stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
    sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
    enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
    animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
    reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
    sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
    be the issue.

  • Winfile.cpp-759 error when exporting .flv files

    Hi,
    Just got over the P2 file problem (stopped using them in CS5, gone back to CS4) and a new problem has occured.
    I have been exporting .flv files since I first installed CS5, suddenly today Premiere crashes when trying to export individual .flv files and so does the media encoder.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The given problem doesn't have the obvious cause. But it can be avoided.
    The problem emerges after Premiere import video clips with attached audio files, while 'confoming audio'. After the conforming, the 'broken' audio files cannot be heard with playback, or incorporated in export.
    There are two solutions to this problem.
    First: While ripping material, or importnig previously ripped material, import separately audio and video data.
    Second: If you, while working, run into audio stream that doesn't hear ( because of the given 'conforming' ), edit audio of original clip in some sound editing program ( Adobe SoundBooth, for instance ) by cuting it to new file, resampling it, saving to *.wav ( for example ) and importing it to your Premiere project, replacing the broken audio data.
    That should do the trick. At least, it did it for me.
    Cheers!

  • IPhoto shuts down when exporting a file

  • Mac Mini crashes when exporting imovie projects

    Hi.
    When I try to export imovie projects, my Mac Mini crashes. Not ever, just every two or three times.
    My system is 10.6.7 and imovie is 11. Can anyone help me? Thanks, I apologize for my bad English

    Thank you, I'll try!
    I hope you're right, because is boring to see out of the blue all the screen getting grey and the window that invites you to reboot, without hope... It happens, for example, after two or three succesful exporting projects, then I reboot and go on for another two or three projects and then again... I'm afraid it's a RAM problem, but I'll try to update system and software.
    Thank you again
