Why do I lose video content when exporting/backing up a video clip to DVD in iPhoto?

I am transferring/backing up my iPhoto library to a DVD. When I do this, I see the "content" of any video clip does not transfer. By this I mean I can see the image identifying the clip on the DVD but the "time" is 0:00. Can someone pls advise how to get this content to transfer so I can eliminate these clips from the iMac? Thanks! (I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and IPhoto 11 9.4.3)

How are you backing up the library? Are you exporting the photos to a DVD or a folder on the Desktop and buring that to a DVD? If so be sure to select Kind = Original in order to get the actual video file.

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting to PDF?

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting in PDF? I can seee the TOC in iBooks Author but when I want to see what it looks like in a regular PDF, the TOC does not show up.

Strange question you ask here. Not sure why that is relevant to "why" IBA won't publish a table of contents in a PDF.
But since eyou asked, it's simple, I want to author some books in IBA and also see what they look like - completed - in PDF. Again, any suggestions as to a work around so I don't have to cut and paste back into Pages?

Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows

720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows
I have an interesting problem that I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have several short videos (2-4 minutes) in 1080i HDV that I have edited in FCP. When output to 720P 30 H.264 in Compressor at either 10 or 6 MB they look just drop dead gorgeous when played back on either of my dual processor Macs.
However when played back on a Windows machine with QuickTime 7, they stutter to the point that playback locks up. This happens on 1.5 GHz to 3.2 GHz P4 class machines with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM and 64 to 128 MB video cards. On the 3.2 GHz P4, the processor utilization peaks at 100%. The interesting thing is that all of these same Windows machines have no problem playing back 720p 24 trailers at 6 MB.
Thanks all.

First a correction. I am using the latest version of FCP – 5.
Regarding the encoding, I have tried going from native HDV MPEG-2 to H.264 at 720P from 10 to 4 MB at 24, 30 and 29.97. The Mac seems to play everything back very well, but most PCs (the latest IBM T 40 – 43 series laptops) a couple of Dell desk tops (2.6 GHZ with 64 and 128 MB graphic cards) and a 3.2 GHz Shuttle PC with a 128 MB graphic card (that we routinely use to decode four MPEG-4, 4CIF images simultaneously and display on a 42” ED Plasma) choke/stutter to varying degrees with processor utilization hitting 100%.
So, the real issue here is what is the difference between a 720p trailer that I can download from Apple and what I can output using Compressor 2 at a similar data rate – other than the frame rate?
And why does the Compressor output stutter on most PCs?

Why is my video pixelated when exporting from Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I'm a musician wanting to make some basic videos for YouTube. The videos will consist of an intro (logo, title etc) and audio playing over a still image which will last the duration of the song. I've edited the still image for the video within Photoshop (CS5.1). The image is of a woman screaming and is intentionally very dark. When I export this image from Photoshop, the quality is excellent. When I then import this image into Premiere Pro (CS5.5) and export as the finished video, the quality of the image is significantly reduced and is rather pixelated. After spending hours searching online and trying different settings to achieve the result I want, I've had no luck, and I'm now in desperate need of a professional opinion. Is it possible to get the same quality image within the exported video as I get from an exported Photoshop file?
Things I've tried:http://www.ashmathos.com/Musici
Photoshop - Exporting image using different file types - .tif , .PNG , .PSD etc
Premiere Pro - Exporting video using different formats - .FLV , Quicktime and MPEG4
- Changing the Capture format between DV and HDV
- Different presets - AVCHD, HDV, DV - PAL/NTSC etc
Both the image exported from Photoshop and the video are 1080p (square pixels)
An example of what I've explained can be found here:
http://www.ashmathos.com/Musician/Test
(The video can be found below the image)
To any responders,
Thank you!

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

When exporting separate audio and video streams, the audio drifts out of sync

So this is my first slightly larger project in Final Cut Pro X.
When I export my finished project (around 12 minutes long) straight to quicktime, it plays back perfectly.
When I export using compressor, the resulting audio and video streams are two different lengths. The audio comes out a full second longer. If you try to lay them down in a program like Adobe Encore, the audio starts out perfectly in sync. Two minutes in you notice the video is slightly out of sync with the audio. By the end of the video it's comically bad, over a second out of sync.
What's even more vexing is if I try to take the quicktime file that IS in sync upon playback, and try to convert it burn that to a dvd or blu-ray using toast, the problem re-emerges.
I triec searching around, but most of the suggestions that came up were vauge, like, "Upgrade to a real program like Final Cut." (This was in reply to people who were using free software programs.)
I did see one idea surface where 44 and 48 kHz sampling rates don't play well together. So I combed through my project and found all the 44.1 songs that were used, and swapped them out with upsampled versions. Nothing changed. It didn't sound like it would fix it, as people usually said it was a specific amount of frames off, not something drifting out of sync.
So the question is, does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this? Thanks! :-)

Project settings can be accessed and changed by selecting the project and pressing command-J. Then, in the inspector, click on the little gear in the lower-right hand corner to access the settings.
Why are you trying to output video/audio separately? If the content plays in-sync when exporting a quicktime movie (using current project settings), you could try separating the video/audio using MPEG Streamclip as a second step instead of using compressor. For audio, don't change the sample rate from the project settings, and use uncompressed audio (AIFF) as the output format.

Poor video Quality when exporting to DVD

I cant seem to get a clear video. I am downloading from DV from a canon and the quality is sentational.
When on the time line averything is brilliant. When rendereing everything is still ok.
When exporting to DVD it goes pear shaped. I have tried dozens of different variations with the same results.
I am in AUstralia and am using PAL.
I get motion blur and what appears to be very poor quality result after exporting.
Help... I dont have much hair left.
Premier Pro Tragic

@Harm,
"Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
@John,
Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

Why summaries are converted to character when exported to excel??

Hi,
When i export my discoverer workbooks to excel, all of my summaries are converted to character type and excel gives error messages for each cell and asks to convert them back to numbers. Its not possible to do so because Discoverer plus is a client tool and no client would prefer rework. They'll simply say why to use Discoverer then?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Using Acrobat DC and the acrobat arrow tool. By right clicking on an image a submenu pops up. One of the items in that list is "Edit Image". Ordinarily or historically this would then open the image in Photoshop as a temp file. Edits could be made and saved and the image would be auto updated back into the PDF. In DC when selecting edit image, the document goes into a edit mode and the entire file gets converted into RGB color. From here one could again right click on the same image and get the option to edit using another program, (like photoshop). When returning back to document mode, the RGB conversion remains.
I determine the files are converted to RGB by using the inspector tool in Acrobat as well as looking at the colorspace in Photoshop
I determined the files were CMYK by building them that way and again verifying using Pitstop inspector.
Following screen grabs show image before / and after selecting "Edit Image"

Videos Blurry When Exported

I am using CS4 and whenever I render a video it comes out blurry. I am using the default settings when exporting media.
Any idea what I can do?

Audio/ video unsynced when exporting?!

we have a FCP project that uses both HD and SD properties.
our video tracks are in 1080i60 and our audio is in 48k SD. when we export they become unsynced and the video jumps...what is the fastest fix to this...is there a fix?
we have also tried exporting the audio and video seperately and to different drives.

Yes... so SD refers to the definition of the image...
just because you have HD and SD, it doesn't mean that audio has the same attributes... 48kHz / 16bit audio is a 'standard'... you don't get 48k HD audio, nor do you get 48k SD audio...

Stair-stepping artifacts when exporting H.264 426x240 video for web

I'm trying to export a 16:9 video clip for web using H.264 compression at 426x240 resolution from compressor using square pixel aspect ratio. No matter what bit rate I set it at -- 600kbps-6,000kbps I still get these really jagged edges. Even though my source is DV, the original file does not have anything close to this; also I have never had this issue before. One other thing to note is that if I export at full resolution H.264 -- 640x360, I don't get any stair-stepping.
Here is a frame grab of the video with the problem:
http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264-frame.jpg
You can download a video clip of it here (data rate is around 600-700kbps):
http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264.mov
I'm also noticing some sort of horizontal lines in the artifacts?? This is progressive scan footage shot on a DVX100B 24pA (and captured properly w/2:3:3:2 pull down removal, the original file doesn't have this)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is getting really annoying having to export huge files...
PS: I'm using Compressor v3.0.2

It could be some scaling artifact. Make your stream progressive using frame controls (stay away from the best setting) and that should help.

Why is there a green screen when trying to watch any videos on any website?

I currently having trouble trying to watch any type of videos. On Youtube, Abc Player, any videos I try to watch all it gives me a green screen. Audio is playing fine. But the display is just a green sreen. I've tried about all I can do but it gives me nothing.
I've clicked on the right on a video into settings. But the Adobe would not show me the Display to Enable the hardware. I don't know what else to do.
I've also checked if the ActiveX Filtering was checked I unchecked it and stuff but still gave me a green screen on every video.
I'm just tried of not being able to fix this. The Adobe Flash Player it up to date. I have a HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC. With Windows 8 Installed.

Hello ToriTorres,
You question seems quite general, and this is a CQ5 dedicated forum dealing with CQ specific questions. If your problem is linked with Adobe Flash Player, please try to post in the corresponding forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer

Media Offline when Exporting back to FCP from STP. Lesson 10 in APTS book.

Hello, I am going through the Apple Pro Training Series Book by Martin Sitter found a road block in Lesson 10. The topic is conforming at that seems to work decently (except for garbled text in the right side of the Conform tab). My issue is when trying to export back to FCP. I choose to Send Files to FCP sequence. A new sequence is created in the selected project as expected. The audio is fine, but instead of using the video from the correct sequence, it seems to be trying to use clips from the older sequence. Additionally, all the video clips show up as Media Offline. I can reconnect media, but the problem is that it is the wrong video sequence. Oddly, in STP the video looks perfect. Is there an error in the metadata? can this be fixed or prevented? Thank you

Barreltone,
I am exporting back into Final Cut Pro via Send to Sequence. I have been exporting from the browser of FCP (sequence), and not the timeline (clips). I'm going to try that tactic, and see if that works.
