Why is AE Pro CC not exporting my lower thirds properly?

Hello! I'm having a very strange issue today with AE Pro CC. Before I start in, let me explain a couple things:
1. I have updated my Mac Pro to Mavericks; and
2. I have downloaded and applied the patch that was released.
I can open, edit, and export my files just like pre-Mavericks; however, when I go to import them into Premiere via Import, I get an import error:
"The importer encountered a generic error."
Oddly, when I look at the exported files in Finder (which, by the way, do not throw an error during the export process -- I have clean logs), I don't have a preview thumbnail like I did before. Now, it's a placeholder Quicktime logo. Hitting space bar to preview them only offers the information window, which show "Zero KB" as the file size... but in Finder, it clearly shows the correct file size.
Opening the files in Quicktime gives me a "converting" message before opening (these are .MOV files that shouldn't need converting at all), and exporting them from QT won't allow for an Alpha channel, ruining the transparency of the lower third.
Anybody have a clue what's happening here, or having the same issue? It seems there's some new problem with Mavericks, or QT, or After Effects rendering out in RGB+Alpha .MOV ~
Thanks for the help.

Sure -- it's actually all over the Quicktime forums right now. Lots of people having TONS of issues. Mine just happened to cross over into After Effects, because I use Alpha Channels in my .mov

Can someone tell me why my Macbook Pro does not have IDVD?

Can anyone tell me why my $$$$ Macbook Pro does not have IDVD? I when to do an IMovie and media shared to IDVD and me computer could not locate. I thought that all Macs have IDVD. Maybe they forgot it. I did a search in applications and it said it had no file. I uploaded the newest IDVD and it told me that I needed IDVD it was not on my computer. Something is wrong with this

It could be that you haven't set up your machine properly. Or it could be just a mistake. But since you give us no information - heck, you don't even give us punctuation - how on earth could we know?

Quicktime pro will not export movies

Last year, after I updated to qt 7.X I and bought the pro key, it would no longer export movies correctly. It was a common problem and the fix was to uninstall it and reainstall 6.X. Since then it has been updated several times and is required for itunes. So, I finally reupdated to 7.X (7.2 as of this morning) and what a surprise, qt 7 still does not export movies correctly. It takes hours to export and then fails. Just like when qt7 first came out. Now, I cant even find the link to uninstall the crap and reinstall 6.X

Ok, let me see if I can clarify some. What I want is for the quicktime pro 7 that I payed for to work. I do not want to have to uninstall it and go back to qt6 (which I already know works properly because I had to resort to reinstalling it once before). Yes, I was irritated that I could not find the link to revert to qk6 as a last resort. But, I would rather not take that last resort. I would like the product I bought to operate correctly. Especially since itunes and other apps will no longer work with qk6. QT7 has been update around half a dozen times since it was released and still does not operate correctly. And I certainly don't want the hassle of reinstalling the entire operating system.
The two problems I am having with qt7 are... (1)It takes hours to export the same files that qt6 used to export in minutes. (2)With qt7, when I export an mp4 video, only quicktime on Macs will play the video. Any other player, even quicktime on windows, can only play the audio. Wmp does not play it at all. This did not happen with qt6. Any player could see the entire movie with no issues. Now, I can avoid the second problem by exporting it as a quicktime movie instead of an mp4, but it is nowhere near as efficient as an mp4. The file sizes with a qt movie are much bigger, yet the quality is much lower. I don't believe I changed any settings that could have caused the mp4s to suddenly stop working correctly on other players.
And i'm currently at work on another computer, so if teh problem doesnt sound familiar to anybody and I cant be helped without knowing the codecs i'm using, I guess i'll have to wait until I get home to look that up. But if you can suggest codecs in the meantime that maybe I have not tried, I could try those while I wait to see if the codecs I am using are wrong.

Acrobat X Pro Does Not Export to Excel with Proper Format

I just upgraded from AA8 Pro to X Pro because 8.0 didn't run well in Windows 7. It was much easier to export a report from a PDF to an Excel table and in 8.0 I never had this issue with the formatting.
Sorry for all of the screen grabs, but I don't know else to explain what is happening.
The the original PDF of the report I need to convert to a table in Excel:
Using Save As... > Spreadsheet > Excel Workbook, here is the resulting table created by AAX. Note that the date is displayed correctly the format is "Custom":
Note the "Custom" format displays the date using the standard U.S. English convention, but when you change the format to "Date" it switches to the Chinese convention.
When selecting the cell containing the September 4th date, it recognizes it as a "Date", but it thinks it follows the Chinese convention, hence believing September 4th is actually April 9th.
If I select all of the cells and set the format to "Date" and "English (U.S.)", the dates where the Day value is below 13 and could be interpreted as Month, switch with Month and September 9th becomes April 4th.
Now here is the kicker, if I export the report PDF to a Word doc, the data appears as a table in Word, as it should. I can copy of the table from Word and paste into Excel and the dates are formatted properly. I am frustrated that in AA 8.0, I could select the data, right-click and send to an Excel doc that automatically opened. It now seems that I have to export to a 3rd program and copy and paste the data. Please tell me this is a known issue and there is a fix coming soon for it.
Again, I never had this issue with AA 8.0 and other than upgrading to AA X, there has been no other changes to my system.

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,

This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

My 20 minute video in Pro will not export

When I try to export my around 20 minute trip video it will begin to encode the video but will stay at 0% - I have let it load for 2 days now and no progress has been made. I have restarted it many times and it does the same thing. When I try to cancel the video export the entire program crashes.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.22
Yes all updates are installed
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Stuff in the Project:
MPEG-4 format with AVC video codec and AAC LC audio codec
MPEG-PS format with MPEG-2 Video video codec and MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2 audio codec
MPEG-4 format with AVC video codec and AAC LC audio codec
MPEG Audio format with MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 audio codec
A few titles made in Premiere Pro
No error messages
I was trying to export the video when the error occured
This has never happened before
I am also running After Effects and Photoshop
I have no third-party effects or codecs installed
Computer Hardware:
Intel i7 4770 CPU @ 3.4GHZ overclock to 4.0GHZ
16 GB RAM
AMD RADEON 7870
I am not using Mercury
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - THANKS!

First off, in case you haven't already done so, the most basic troubleshooting step: reboot the computer.
Next, I would start by creating a new project, creating a very simple sequence--like just a Universal Counting Leader or a Bars and Tone--and seeing if that exports successfully. This is just to test whether exporting is completely broken on your system or if the scope of the problem is limited in some way.
If the minimalist sequence succeeds, then I would use the divide-and-conquer approach to try & isolate what part of your sequence is throwing the exporter a curveball. You can do this several ways:
disable first all the video tracks, then all the audio tracks
If there are multiple video +/or audio tracks, then disable one track at a time. Or if you have a lot of tracks, disable half of them, then the other half.
Use In/Out points to divide in half by time.
Select all>Remove Effects.
For all these test, use a copy of the project so you don't run a risk losing any work.
By this approach, you should be able to zero in on the problem area in a few tests.
If encoding fails no matter what you do, I'd disable overclocking. I have a rather dim recollection of reports that overclocking introduced problems with exporting.

Premier Pro CS4 not Exporting to Media Exporter

Hello all,
We've purchased Master Suite CS5, and we are using the complementary Premiere Pro (and After Effects) CS4 on the computers (32-bit systems). Premiere Pro installed fine (as best we could tell), but we are unable to export the finished files to Adobe Media Exporter. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm trying to avoid a reinstall, if there's anything we are missing on settings right after the install. I'm hoping it's not an issue with CS4 vs. CS5.
Thanks for any help offered!

Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...

I got a new iPod video for Christmas. I downloaded iTunes (7.0.2) and then upgraded to Quicktime Pro using the quicktime installed on my Windows PC (7.1.3). I fired up quicktime and tried to export several different AVI files to ipod format. Every time, it starts the process, shows 'initializing...' and then hangs indefinitely. I noticed my computer is running at around 60% cpu. I've seen this same problem shown in a number of different posts - but no one has found a solution to this problem yet. Since I'm new to quicktime/ipod, I can offer only a very limited viewpoint, but it seems to me based on my experience and the number of other unanswered posts on this same issue, that there may be a bug in the software. I'm really excited about my new ipod video, but I'd enjoy it much more if I could actually get my videos on to it.
WhiteBox - Homebuilt Windows XP Pro

Converting to iPod settings takes a long time.
Try this as a test:
View and save any online video (a movie trailer for example).
Open this file, note it size and time, and export to iPod.
Time the export so you know how long the conversion takes.
Multiply this two minute (or whatever) conversion by the time of your AVI and you'll know about how long it will take.
My Mac and QuickTime converts while I sleep.

Fat EQ in Soundtrack Pro does not export the mix!!!!

I am very frustrated. I have been trying to export a mix from Soundtrack Pro with a preset using the Fat EQ. How complicated can this be?????
I export to FCP6 as a AIFF file. How complicated can this be????? This software has a flaw. It will not turn my sound file from FCP which I import into STP. It works fine in STP but then will not convert into an AIFF by the time it gets to FCP/Desktop. All I get is a blank sound file. Not happy with this software so far. FCP6 seems fine. What the heck is going on here???
I am limited as to what I can mix in FCP6 with the audio tools. I thought STP could be helpful, but it is driving me up the wall!!!!!!
Please someone help me export my file some way so I can use the EQ's and mixers in STP like it is designed to do.
Frustrated with STP.
Rory

Yes, just a stereo file. STP version 2.0. Final Cut Pro 6. One of the filters worked once in STP 2.0, then it does not, it seems very finicky.
I am sending my audio files from the timeline to STP for audio editing. Then I apply the EQ once the project is in the main page of STP. Everything is good here, the EQ applied works, everything works just fine.
I then go to File >Export > Save As .... and then export it as a AIFF file. This is where something happens. It seems my fat EQ is working in STP, and then after it is exported back to FCP 6 there is nothing, nothing. There is an audio file, just no data at all, no sound waves.
The Autofilter seems to work when it is applied. It worked for the first 2 times anyway and then did the same as above. I am going to just edit audio at an external independent studio I think. I can't be bothered trying to figure this out for the duration of the project. It is too time consuming.

Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
The same happen on my Satellite A300.

QT Pro does not export sound...

Hi there,
I just bought QT Pro to convert my camera movies (MPEG1 Muxed, 640x480) into a format supported by iDVD but without any success...
When I click on the movie file they open and play with sound in QT but when I choose Export (to various formats, eg Movie to Quicktime Movie - H.264 Decoder, 640x480, Millions) they turn out with no sound to them!
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks,
Simon

I use QuickTime Pro as an Authoring tool. Since I don't own a "video" camera I make most of my QuickTime files (Web use only) from still image files.

QT Pro 7 - Not exporting MP3 from ANY format.

Here are links to images showing the problem.
http://t3st.com/qt/QT_exportscreen.jpg
http://t3st.com/qt/QT_errorscreen.jpg
When I try to export anything, I repeat ANYTHING as an MP3 I get an error screen. (mov, avi, mp4, aif, etc..)
I noticed that my export to MP3 options are a little slim. Ideas?
For now taking the files and opening them in iTunes to convert works, but I'd rather not have to hack things to make them work.
Thanks.

You appear to be using a third-party plug-in or codec to enable the MP3 export since to the best of my knowledge Apple doesn't supply an MP3 codec with QuickTime. The only Apple-supplied solution is iTunes.
Perhaps you need to go back to the third-party solution provider or to the customer support area for that particular product. If it's unsupported open source or freeware then you may be out of luck, but it could be useful if you identified the source of your MP3 codec.

Final Cut Pro X Not Exporting

I am a brand new mac user, and I only upgraded for the use of editing with the software Fincal Cut Pro. The program does everything it's supposed to whilst I edit, but I'm done edititng now and I can't get the file to export. I click on the "share" button and then the "export media" button, the computer loads for half a second, and then it does nothing. Nothing. What do I need to do to get my file to export?
I have Final Cut Pro 10.0.3 and am using the operating system Mavericks 10.9

Kristin - sound like you're doing everything correctly. I nmoticed you're somehow on the latest OS but using a very old version of FCPX. I kinda wonder if that might affect your results. Typically people who are running Mavericks would be on a more recent release of FCPX (I think?)
Do you have compressor? Do you see an option to "Send to Compressor"? I know it is possible to do a trial of FCPX so perhaps it might be possible to trail Compressor. If so, try sending your project to Compressor and select a setting and destination for your project and see if that works.
Sometimes when you try something and report back, others who are very experienced will jump in with solutions.

Premiere Pro CS5 not exporting audio

Hi all,
I've already searched Google and these forums extensively but can't seem to solve this problem even with all the solutions I've seen. I've never had any trouble in the past with exporting and/or audio, but the project I'm working on won't export properly.
I'm exporting a ~4 minute video with a mix of camera (Canon 60D) audio, audio from my Rode mic, and an mp3 as background music. The audio plays fine in the timeline, but I can't seem to get the export settings right. I've tried H.264, Vimeo HD, and exporting JUST the audio to no avail. The audio is AAC, which I've tried 48 and 44.1 kHz.
The video exports perfectly in 1920 x 1080 but has absolutely no audio.
Can anyone help me with this? The render time is super long on my old Macbook so I've just been exporting sections at a time.
Thanks! Let me know if I should provide any additional information.
Edit: I've also tried exporting through Media Encoder CS5; same result.

Hi, I'm having pretty much the same problem but after trying several of these solutions i'm still stuck,
I've completed a 30 minute film using 3 different types of digital cameras.
When i try to export it my system crashes and i have to open it again.
the project file is 35GB and i have over 100GB space on my external usb hard drive, so i know there is enough space, i also deleted temp files and unused files too.
I contacted an experienced film maker and took my hard drive to him so he could export it on his system and that also crashed, but he was able to export the entire video of the sequence but unticking the export audio, so i have a 30 minute film with no sound and i've put it down to an audio issue.
I had the same problem when trying to export the film when it was just 20 minutes long, i then cleared the media cache and deleted a lot of unwanted files etc, and then i was able to export the film. now it's 10 minutes longer and the issue seems impossible to solve.
the only solution i can think of is to delete the last 10 minutes of audio (which isn't really an option) or somehow record the audio into a seperate file and import it into the project
I'm not entirely sure of the exact details you would need from me but if there is any please ask
Using windows 7

Premiere Pro CS5 Not exportting to tape on TWO different Computers!!! HELP

I had a prior post in january with a new desktop having problems exporting to tape. when it would export a blue screen would come up at random times breaking up the recording. almost like the camera was losing signal with the computer.
Im capturing and exporting using a Canon XHG1 HDV camera.
Both the Laptop (sony vpcf11x) and Desktop (custom with intel sandybridge motherboard) can CAPTURE tapes fine. but export causes problems on BOTH machines.
Both of my computers (a laptop and desktop use the Intel i7 chipset.
I have a Third desktop (gateway something or other) that ive been using Sony Vegas to Export to tape and it WORKS EVERYTIME! with the same Camera and Firewire Cable.
Itried installing Sony Vegas onto the new Desktop to export and I get the SAME problem that I get with Exporting with Premiere.
has anyone else heard of these problems? it is really starting to irritate me. with everything ive done, it has to be something with Adobe. how can i have the same problem on two different computers?

Here are more specific information with my system and settings for you to see. I also included a video of my workflow and showing you what exactly is happening on export.
Project Settings:
Capture Format DV
Video Rendering and Playback: Mercury Playback Engine Software only
Sequence Settings:
DV NTSC
29.97 fps
720x480
Aspect Ratio 16:9
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode

Aspect Ration Conversion: Hardware Only
External Device Audio
Export: external device DV: 29.97 720x480i
Disable video output when in the background is not checked
Export to tape settings:
Activate recording device is checked
assemble timecode, delay movie start, and preroll _ frames (none are checked)
abort after _ dropped frames (not checked)
report dropped frames (not checked)
render audio before video (is checked)
I render out the video to one file (on my desktop).
then import the clip into a new sequence with the above settings.
file>export>tape>
then it begins recording and drops out like the camera loses signal.
this is really frusterating.

Why is AE Pro CC not exporting my lower thirds properly?
