Why do my clips indicate rendering needed when exporting?

So I have noticed this before but until now, it's never been a problem. I have rendered "all" for my entire project but when I go to export, some of my clips have red bars, indicating they need rendering. Obviously, I can't render them again because I'm exporting. Maybe it makes no difference, but on my current project, several of my stills show weird color or opacity effects in my exported video. In the past, I think I remembered the plugin Alex 4D vignette causing problems, so I unapplied the filter to my clip and re-rendered the entire sequence.
Hopefully it's not a hardware or software issue. Just not sure about the whole rendering thing...
Thanks,
Bob

Do the Render Items have check marks against them in the Sequence>Render All menu?
If there is no check mark then no rendering occurs on that particular item, in effect you have told FCE not to render it.
Green bars mean it will play in real time but you should still render.
In the FCE>Sequence Menu you will find the Mix Down option, always Mix Down just prior to exporting.
You must be exporting as a Quicktime Conversion?
Exporting as a Quicktime Movie will give you the exact properties of the FCE Sequence.

Why does my photo slideshow quality deteriorate when exported to iDVD?

I have a client whose photos look great in iPhoto & iMovie, but look all pixelated when exported to iDVD. I've tried making a slideshow directly with iDVD, but the photos still look worse than they did in the iPhoto slideshow.
The size of the photos is pretty large (as big as 5233 x 3546), which I'm guessing might be part of the problem, so I tried exporting them from iPhoto with a limitation of 720 x 540, but they still look bad. I expect a decrease in quality once I burn the DVD, but these look bad even in the DVD preview.
Any ideas?

All DVD slideshows are defaulted to 640 x 480 pixels. That's the standard. As long as the photos are in the 4:3 dimension ratio you can leave them at their fullest size. You can try using the Pro Quailty encoding to get better quality images. IMO the best image quality is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from still photos. You don't get the Ken Burns effect, but in my opinion it's a bit over used too many time.
If you are creating your slideshow in iMovie then try the following.
1 - when your slideshow is how you want it quit iMovie.
2 - open iDVD, create a slideshow and open the slideshow edit mode.
3 - drag the iMovie project file into the slideshow pane on the left. (NOTE: this lets iDVD scale the movie file to the TV safe area when played on CRT TV sets.)
This also lets iDVD do the encoding for the iMovie assets and avoids two compressions, one by iMovie when you export to iDVD and the iDVD encoding.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why does the rendering stop when exporting in Premier 2014?

I am running Premiere 2014 on Windows 7. I have a fairly simple sequence (without audio) that I'm trying to export in H264. Every time I attempt this, the progress bar stops at the same point and it never completes.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Break it apart and try to find the spot of stall. For example, if you get 3/4 through as your progress bar indicates, in/out or work area the first half and render out, then render out the last half. Or, render out the first half, then the next quarter, then the next eigth.
Break it apart and try to find the spot in your sequence that causes your rendering to stop,

Why is that two SPA400 is needed when a voicemail is requried?

Do we really need to acquire 2 SPA400 if a voicemail is required? Voicemail is supposed to be a standard feature of any voice system now a days... Would a single SPA400 do the job of PSTN analog connectivity and voicemail at the same time?
-= if you're not scared, you're already dead =-

you do not need 2 SPA400 to have voicemail in a network..actually, the documentation says that when using 2 SPA400 (if you have more than 4 PSTN lines) you can only use the voicemail feature of 1 SPA400
you can read additional information in http://linksys.com/kb -- just type the model number on the search box

Why won't FCX use all cores when exporting a file?

Hi folks,
Latest version of FCX and Lion.
I'm trying to export 7 'projects' (or sequences) for archiving then processing for DVD.
Compressor still busts my kahonies so I'm not using it. I'm using Bitvice (far better compression as well).
Anyhoo, when I Share - export media and choose the file, click ok etc..., the file starts.
But my cores are barely operational. It's quite ridiculous. A 1 hour 22 minute ProRes file to 720x480 16:9 widescreen is taking near 23 minutes.
That doesn't seem right. I shouldn't have to beg this software to rip all 24 cores to their max (I have a 12 core 2.66 with 32 GB Ram).
I've been on so many "how-to's" over the year, that my head is spinning so can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong.
It sure seems like a simple thing.
Cheers,
Keebler

Thanks WG.
Of all things Apple that I've used and owned, I've never been able to get Compressor to go full force. Well, I should say with ease and consistency. There have been a few moments of sparkling hope lol
Latest was a long series and tests with Apple FCP team. They recommended a complete rewipe and only installation of Compressor 4 and FCX without installing FCS3. Sounds like something was messed up with QMaster along the way. But that's another story.
You are right about these - already rendered and FCX probably needs to re-render as it outputs.
My irk is that my cores just aren't being used - I'm exporting a file right now and my CPU usage shows
<GULP> 95.57'ish % IDLE!
cheers,

Why is video size different to original when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6 to Encore?

Hi there
My source files in Premiere Pro are 1920 x 1080.
When I export the sequence to Encore to burn to a DVD the size in the burned DVD changes to 720 x 576
In Encore project area I have these two entries
The encoding settings for the above two entries are
this (for the first entry above)...
and this (for the second entry above)...
It does not seem to be possible to change the encoding to 1920 x 1080 for the first enry and as such the video is being burned as 720x576.
How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong?

DVD is 720x576 you cannot change that.
If you want 1920x1080 which is HD you need to make a BluRay.
You can however make an AVCHD disk which is HD on DVD.
About 20 minutes will fit on a DVD and will only (but not all) BluRay players.

Why do I lose my midi tracks when exporting a song to iTunes from GarageBand?

I have been using GarageBand for many years and have never had any real problems--it has always delivered. Recently, though, I finished a track that I wanted to share online, so I tried to get it into MP3 format via iTunes. After listening to it in iTunes, I noticed that none of the midi tracks were there. I tried exporting it again at a higher quality, then in a different format (AAC), and every time, I ended up with a track lacking all midi parts. Does anyone know why that would be or, more importantly, how to fix this problem? Many thanks!

I received the following response from email support:
The reason you saw an amount higher than what was actually in your account may be due to your account information not being updated. This can happen, for example, when you use multiple computers to make iTunes Store purchases. You can refresh your account information at any time, which will in turn update the store credit amount iTunes displays next to your account name. To do this, sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign in again.
It seems that the balance itunes is originally reporting should not be there and it is refreshed (and removed) once the new balance is added.
It's kind of unfortunate that the itunes store can't properly track an account balance (especially since I only use 1 computer for my account), but that's your answer. Hopefully Apple will get around to correcting this in the future, as it's pretty frustrating.

Why do I only get 2 pages when export PDF to Word?

I have a PDF document that was created from Word (probably 2003). I was asked to convert this document back to Word. When I do this, the progress bar shows that it's converting all 16 pages, but when I open the file in Word, I only have the first 2 pages. I've tried adjusting the layout options and not exporting pictures (don't think there are any in the PDF). Does anyone know what I can do to get all the pages to export?

Hi Bill,
I can't post the file because it is company confidential.
To answer your questions:
I tried both File>Export>Word document and File>Save as and got the same results for both.
The Document Properties file might contain the clue to the problem. Here's what it contains:
The original application the file was created in is Microsoft Word (version not defined)
The PDF was created with doPDF Desktop Ver 5.2 Build 225 (Windows XP)
The PDF version is 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)
It's not a tagged PDF
Would I be right in assuming that the problem is likely due to how the PDF was created?
Thanks.

Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
Thanks !
Franc St-Louis

The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:
Bitrate Calculator
CustomFlix Bit Budget Calculator
Chris Linke Bit Budget Calculator
DVD-HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator

Why don't I get any sound when export from imovie to quicktime DVD

Help. I am a new imovie user so hope not being stupid. am using G4 powerbook with OS X 10.3.9. imovie 3.0.3 and quick time 7.1.2. Have made 2 films so far - first exported fine into quicktime with sound. Second exports but without any sound. This film is 5 mins long. It plays fine in imovie, and if exported as low quality for web also records sound (when 188 kg), but big version for DVD gives the problem. thanks for any advice. Sue

Hi Sue: (Nice name)
Welcome to discussions!
It may be that your quicktime is not getting along well with you OS X version...try to revert back to another version of quicktime (BUT- I don't know if this will work with your current QuickTime though)

First clip appears in edit when exporting- work losses!!!

I just got a gig editing on adobe premiere pro cc, I downloaded the trial and started to figure out the software- Im using the muticam function cause the project was shot like that.
so I edit and go to esport a short intro to the client and blammo a bunch of my work is gone and been replaced by the same first clip over and over. - is this a bug in the trial? i was given 7.0.0 for the download???

It is a known issue that was corrected in the 7.0.1 update.

Flash CS4: why movie clips are static when exporting to video formats ?

Does anyone know why the movie clips are non animated when I export my flash animation into a video format ?
Please see the next flash example I made: (4 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/flash_movieclip.swf
And now see how it looks like once exported into video format: (160 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/Video_movieclip.avi

You must need a suitable codec for that like DivX codec, it will also import the nested movieclip animations. otherwise whatever you have on the main timeline is exported for avi. you will get the codec on the export settings for avi.

Reducing Time of Rendering when Exporting to Encore

Does anyone know how to reduce the rendering time when exporting from Premiere Pro CS3 to Encore? I'm trying to create a DVD of a 90 minute event using VBR 1 Pass and is taking 22 hours to get the job done! I have a 5 GB Mac Pro with 2 X 3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon Processors running on OS 10.4.11. Will "Forcing CBR" help? Will it compromise image quality? Any thoughts?

With your machine the encoding to MPEG should be better then real time: a 90 minutes timeline should take about 90 minutes or less. However the effects and transitions rendering can greatly add to this time. Some effects can take "forever" to render. If you provide the effects you are using, we may be able to tell you which ones are time consuming to render.

AVCHD clip's always needs to get rendered when inserting. Media info about .mts file attached

Hi
I have previously discussed this problem in another thread. I have .mts files that I insert in a project (project preset set to PAL-AVCHD Full-HD)....when inserting i always need to render the clips and as many peole have mentioned, this should not be needed, instead PrEl should take care of this by itself..and it really sunds weird if it doesnt...
So, why is this happen...i get so frustrated when I have to re-render the clips all the time, since also - it takes a looong time for jsut tiny tiny clips ? I posted the hardware specs I have two days ago in this same forum, and it looks from the answers I got that this hardware should be enough for not having to wait several minutes to jsut add a 6 second AVCHD clip ?
Please look at below image that is a screenshot from MediaInfo about the details for my .mts file I'm trying to add - resulting in new rendering needed, plus the fact that it takes about 5 minutes to render it ??
Please, suggestion or solutions ? I'm lost...I got feedback yesterday that this is a known problem with both PrEl 8 and PrEl 9 ..that AVCHD clips needs to get rendered manually when they are added....i.e a known bug in these versions ?? Any experience ? How can I move forward, I have problems to understand that such bug should exist without anysolution and/or workaround since I see this as a feature that MUST work for people not getting crazy :-)

Hi Neale
many thanks for your time trying to help me out.....
Please see my answers below in bold, hope you and/or someone else can help me with some further answers
Are you opening a project created in PRE8 with PRE9? If yes, that is the most likely cause of the problem. Create a new PRE9 project and see if the same problems after you import the clip and save the project. No, I'm only working in Pr 8.0 - I have this problem as soon as I add a clip..not that into the different formats, just know that the best possible output from my camera (Canon HF10) should be AVCHD..thats why I added teh detailed info from "MediaInfo". can you tell from that info I'm correct, i.e that the .mts file is really AVCHD as expected ? Just to help me confirm that. So, I havent been using PrEl 9.0...another person two days ago told me that PrEl 9 also got similar problems as I reported for my PrEl 8.0 ?
When you first added the clip to your project did you receive any messages that the file was not suitable for the format? If so did you accept the offered preset? If you didn't start a new PRE9 project and this time accept the offer. No, I did not get any messages as all about the format. Occasionally I get something like "Do you want to fix the quality in the clip" ..cant recall exactelly what the message is, but its for sure nothing about the format
When you put it into the project, did you have a red line running the length of the timeline? If you do then your preset is not correct (this is purely PRE9. PRE8 always required rendering AVCHD footage).Yes, always when I add a clip I get this red line. If I understand everything correctly this means I have to hit ENTER key to create a preview file....thats my second problem - as soon as I do that, it renders the clip very very slowly although I should have prety good hardware (According to spec posted two days ago).
So, as a summary. Do you think that buying Premiere Elements 9.0 should get rid of this problem when adding AVCHD ? If that is the case, I feel I just want to be sure about this and that I will not experience the problem again. Can it not just be some setting that is, by default, not correct in Premiere El 8.0 that is causing this or is this really a known bug without fixes available from Adobe?
Best Regards
Helmut
