Why is my exported movie cropped?

When I export my movie project to Quicktime movie (or to mp4), it is cropped as if a widescreen mask had been applied, although the project properties confirm it's a standard 4:3. The project looks fine in iMovie's canvas.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.

Hi Marilyn,
I'd like to help. Would you mind providing more detail? Is your doc a PDF (you wrote prn)? Is there actual text on your document for the converter to grasp?
Let me know!
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

Why are my exported movies not complete?

When I try to export a movie from FCP HD (and now 5) as a Windows Media file, it only creates a new movie out of the first 20 seconds of the movie. The original is only 38 seconds long. The same thing happens as an AVI or trying to do this from Quicktime Pro.
I can only export the whole thing as a Quicktime but can't get it small enough to email it.
Compressor did the same thing.
Help!

You might have some sort of a trial version of Flip4Mac on your computer... I seem to remember that the old demo only let you export 20 seconds...
But my memory is fading in later years.
What are you using to export to wmf - Quicktime alone won't do it...

Slideshow exported movie format

When I export a slideshow to movie and then try to burn the movie to DVD, Toast says 'Your data is in NTSC format - do you want to re-encode to PAL format?'
Why is my exported movie in NTSC format?
Can I export from iPhoto in PAL format?
I can't find the option in iPhoto.

Why don't i use iDVD ????
Well to me (the uneducated) at this moment that is like saying "if you want a piece of toast with your tea why don't you employ the Queens head chef and his army of cooks to make it for you."
All I want to do is burn my existing movie (which already has music) to a DVD.
When I open iDVD it reminds me of those menu options you hear when you call many companys nowadays. They offer you 5 million things you don't want and do not offer the one thing you do want. (same for most websites)
EG: "If you would like to take your grandmother to the moon on every second Tuesday in March - press 1..." etc etc
iDVD offers me 10 billion ways of embellishing my DVD with countless menus. photos, music and God knows what else.
But all I want to do is burn my movie to DVD, as it is - in the correct format. (PAL widescreen) !!!!!!
I have just looked through the iDVD help and I actually can't work out how to do that very simple thing ! (and it took me half an hour to read it all)
I cannot find any mention of 'aspect ratio' (I need 16x9 - widescreen)
I tried somehow burning one and it did work but it plays in 4x3 format.
So thats why I was using Toast.
Does that answer your question?
You have a nice name.

Export movie is slow... but why Send to Compressor is so much faster!)

Hi,
I have a question. I had a about 60 seconds long animation to render and as usual, I just whent to Share > Export Movie and wondered how on earth it can take more than 30 minutes to render... After 20 minutes and estimate time was still rising, I just clicked cancel.
Then, for some reason I clicked Send to Compressor and suprized how much faster it rendered! Same file, same settings and same output took only 6 minutes!!! Why???

Good question... I didn't think of that. I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, both made by Apple. My friend has a wired keyboard and mouse, plus an external hard drive. I am using wireless internet and my router is about two feet from my computer, and my friend is using wired internet. He has DSL, I have cable. He has a printer connected, and I have one connected to my router.
I know some of those details may be irrelevant... If you need any more information, just ask.

Hello, If you don't mind to help me to find this out
I have A movie that I have just edited and the video is only approximately 8 minutes. When I want to export my movie there is an error page
this page suddenly came out
when I click the "export movie" it's suddenly turn off

Hi

Extreme poor quality in full screen preview and exported movie

I have spend evenings and evenings to create the content of a project.
After dealing with error -108 and extreme poor quality in full screen preview and in exported movies (extreme stuttering) I decided to install my iMac new again.
The error -108 disappeared, but the extreme stuttering still remained in full screen preview and in exported movies.
If I make the preview screen in the iMovie browser as big as possible there is nothing to see of any stuttering.
Now I am getting pretty annoyed and have no clue what to do anymore (how to solve this problem) .....
Anyone any suggestion ?
The orginal video was recorded with a Panasonic HD camcorder.
I do have a mid 2011 iMac with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD and 1TB HD with a complete clean installation
of OS X Lion and iLife. This configuration should be enough to create a proper movie :-(

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

Exporting Movies: Disappearing Export Box

I'm having trouble exporting a movie using iMovie.
I created a movie and successfully exported it. After watching, I went back and made changes to the movie and successfully exported it a second time. I had to go back a third time and make changes and this time it will not export. I have tried changing the file name, changing save locations, but nothing has worked. The exportation begins (a new window with a blue bar appears with text that reads "Exporting movie...") however, the box disappears shortly after and nothing happens.
Any ideas and/or suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Oh, man. If that's it, I will scream, I am so stupid. I never chose "Finalize Project" and have been just using "Share". I have a feeling that if I check the package contents of the project file...that there are some files in there, like the 1080p that I did earlier...and that's why the Exporting dialog goes away so quickly. But it's still possible something is wrong..because I could swear I tried to use Share and then Movie to a different location and the Exporting thing went away quickly, and nothing was saved.
But I could be wrong. Thanks for this lead. I will check it out before crying wolf for sure. It could be that the software is just fine and I was expecting something different.

How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears? How can I correct, what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD? Finalize movie? I want to burn it to DVD!

How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted.
I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain. Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
What is a heap zone????

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

When exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end

when exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end. trying to export just one picture, i realize that when exporting multiple pics to a movie it fades to black at the end, but im just doing one pic. settings are as follows, ken burns effect is being used, settings in slideshow, transition are "none". settings in "adjust" show transition as "none" also. this is my first post so hope that this makes sense. thanks.

wcminor:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I tried to duplicate your settings and exported to a QT movie. The movie did not fade to black at the end. It does fade when played in iPhoto.
My settings were:
In the slideshow window:
Effect: none
Default transitiion: none
In the settings pane:
KB is checked, transition is none.
It's the same whether there's music or not.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

Text jumbled in exported MOV

I have a credit screen at the end of my movie that looks fine when paused, but certain words gets jumbled when playing in FCP and even more jumbled when viewed in the exported MOV. Why is this?
Message was edited by: rsherid

credit rolls are tricky. you need to match the speed of the roll to the refresh rate of the monitor for it to appear smooth. font choice is also critical as is font size. your exported movie quality depends on the codec you have chosen and the originating codec.
look at rental DVDs and see how they look. Most of them are totally hammered. personally I prefer stills that dissolve into each other if you want to actually have someone read the credits, but I guess it's just not "hollywood" enuff for some folks

Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

OK, so you want to put it on your own web page. That's fine as long as you know how to create a web page.
The next thing you have to decide is how big do you want the video to appear on the web page. Many people just post on YouTube and then embed the video into their web page. That way, the video can take advantage of all of the various sizes that YouTube provides.
In any case, I suggest that you use H.264. But the data rate depends on the size of the file. If you are going to display it in HD, then you probably want to start at about 20Mb/s and go up or down from there. The required data rate depends on what you find acceptable, and that depends on the amount of movement in the video. For example, a talking head next to a white board explaining something requires a lot less bits to represent the image because less changes are taking place from frame to frame. If you use 10Mb/s for that, you might find 20Mb/s or more is required to make you happy if you shot a football game from the sidelines.
I generally use settings that look like this image. If you have any questions as to why I choose these settings, feel free to ask.

Flash CC error with exported mov

I'm trying to export my animation as a mov file and it does so successfuly. Then when I try to open it with Quicktime it says there is an error and can not open it. The error states "The movie can't be opened because the file is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
On top of that, when Adobe Media Encoder CC opens up it also states there is an error with the file.
I am exporting as a video and haven't chosen any settings that are out of the ordinary. Why is the export not working?
D

Hi Sarah,
I have just tried the Video Export of the file that you have provided vincecamuto-600x150-2.fla and it looks like it is working as expected.
I have used Flash CC 2014 and Windows 7 and QuikTime Player 7.7.2
Please let me now your Flash version and OS details if they are different from the one mentioned above.
Have posted the exported video at http://adobe.ly/1m3CYpf
Thanks!

Imovie 11 Can't Export Movies NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE HEAP ZONE!

I have plenty of space on my hard drive, no other programs are running, and the video being exported is only 6 minutes and 57 seconds long.
I am working on a short film and 90% of the time that I try and export it in 720 I get an error, because there is not enough room in the heap zone. Then after I restart the computer if I am lucky I can get it to export 1 out of 10 trys. It has nothing to do with the title I give the video.
I need the video exported in 1080, but it gives me the same error EVERY TIME! Even when I export to quicktime and use various settings I keep getting the same heap zone error. What is the deal!?! I have exported an hour long documentary and didn't have this problem. I erased all my previous projects and events and still I get this error
UNABLE TO EXPORT MOVIE
The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Not enough room in the heap zone /)
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

I have the same problem when trying to export a 720P movie to iTunes. Reboot did not help nor did renaming the project. I have an older MacPro with dual 3.0s, 11 Gb Ram and slightly less than 1Tb free space on the boot drive. This is a software issue, not a hardware problem. Apple please fix the myriad of problems with iMovie 11. My productivity has ground to a halt with my 4 month old iLife Software. How did this software ever pass muster!!!!! I can't believe anyone would purchase the new version of Final Cut given the horrible product you've included with the last iLife Set. This is an example of why I left the Microsoft Windows community. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! I usually create 4 to 5 movies a month for the flying community I live in. I have completed one since January, and it was a mess due to software glitches. My attempt to re-render an old iMovie 9 creation has been met with failure. I have projects backing up and really have no desire to finish them or create others as iMovie 11 is no longer fun since it is broken. I'm tired of iPhoto 11 and iMovie crashing or not working and the reason for spending more on an Apple product no longer exists. Outdated expensive hardware and buggy software. Time to sell my APPL stock like Bob Mansfield, You're ignoring your core supporters and are living off the hype of the iPhone/iPad. The poor economy has allowed your "halo effect" to endure many recent short-comings - (Mobile Me (how slow and expensive can it be to stream a personal home movie - but don't worry you don't need Blu-Ray)), Mail (why do I keep getting duplicate emails in my drafts folder? and why is it always losing my password - just like Mail on my iPhone), Never providing a stable video card for 2006 Mac Pros, Crippled iPhone 4 for Verizon, no iPad Flash support, iLife Crapware)............where's the Tylenol!!!!! I need it since I promised an iMovie project for a friend's memorial that I am now unable to deliver.

What does iMovie (09) do when I select "Export Movie"?

I can't believe this isn't an FAQ, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I love iMovie but, as many people realize quickly, part of what makes iMovie so simple to use is that it assumes certain things so that the endusers don't have to worry about them.
Well, I guess "Export Movie" is one of those, but I'm curious - what does iMovie do with my video when I use that option? I realize, for example, that "Export with Quicktime" allows me to select quite a few settings for the export, but that's not the case for iMovie, except for being able to select the exported movie resolution.
What other settings does iMovie assume?

Thanks, everyone! I apologize for being unintentionally vague. To take a step back, my source is video shot with a Canon HF200 in FXP mode which records in 1920x1080 resolution.
The root of my question is curiosity around what iMovie does to my video when I'm burning to DVD, and specifically, I noticed that there's a difference in the quality of the video when I do "Share to iDVD" versus "Export Movie" (then dragging the project into my iDVD template).
I had added some text titles to parts of my video and noticed the "Share to iDVD" caused the text to be more "jaggy". Using "Export Movie" appeared to create DVDs that didn't look jaggy, so naturally, I thought "Export Movie" was the better way to burn DVDs, which then started making me wonder what magic happens when that option is chosen.
Subsequent to my posting this question, I then ran into this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2214292&tstart=90 and learned that iMovie drops half the lines in a frame when exporting.
- Is this what was happening when I use "Share to iDVD"? Was iMovie dropping half the lines which caused my video to look jaggy? Pictures of the videos below. In these pictures, the DVD was being played by a progressive scan DVD player on an LCD TV (if that makes a difference).
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/joelq/DSC_1679.jpg
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/joelq/DSC_1680.jpg
- I got even more confused when I read that iMovie only does this when exporting to 960x540 or smaller. :-/ If that's the case, then is "Export Movie" exporting to a larger resolution which explains why the video quality seemed better, i.e., the video didn't appear jaggy?
- And finally, when shooting 1920x1080 60i video, what's the best export process to get the best quality DVDs? Is this possible with iMovie 09 (or even HD)? Or do I need to upgrade to FCE? (Or should I just invest in the eBook :-)?)
Thanks everyone!
