*** Why is the AppleTV export preset making my HDV 4:3?

A couple of weeks ago I was exporting my HDV sequences with the quicktime conversion>AppleTV setting and things were great. My worflow is to export for AppleTV and then put all the files on my MacMini that is hooked up to my LCD flat panel.
Today I tried to create some more file exports for AppleTV and the final files are in 4:3. I checked my sequence settings and they are set correctly for HDV and when you export for AppleTV it doesn't give you any chance to change any of the settings.
Does anyone know how I can get the best quality export for my HDV sequences for AppleTV but still retain the correct aspect ratio? I don't want to drop this into an 720x480 anamorphic timeline because it's not as good quality. Any suggestions would be great - thanks in advance!

Hi.
I could be wrong about this, but I think this can be cause due to the pixel ratio.
I dont own an Apple TV, but I had this same issue exporting to photoshop.
The problem would be that I'm assuming apple tv has "square" pixels, while HDV video has anamorphic pixels. I dunno if you can change the pixel ratio within apple tv, but if you cannot the only way to fix this issue would be by exporting the HDV video again, but in a square timeline. This would maintain the 16:9 look but with letterbox.
Like I said, I could be wrong about my theory but I think it would worth a shot.

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop?

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop? I'm trying to save an image to "Press Quality" as a pdf and the settings are grayed out.

Maybe a screenshot of your Photoshop working area with the image opened, image tab and the layer panels showing might give us an idea. I can't guarantee that I can help, but someone might be familiar with the situation.
Also a screenshot of the Save as Adobe PDF and the PDF settings dialog as separate shots would also help as well. That way we see what you see.

Where is the LR5 export presets folder located on Mac Mtn Lion?

I cannot find this folder?

On Windows I can get to this folder with:
LR -> Edit / Preferences / Presets (tab) / Show LR Presets Folder (button) and this highlights the Lightroom catalog folder because I have my presets stored with my catalog.
Once I click into this highlighted folder, the Export Presets subfolder and all the rest of the presets subfolders are under a folder called Lightroom Settings.
With LR 5.2 RC, at least, it appears that the Adobe presets are internalized in LR, and only the User presets are in this folder structure.

Why is the latest windows update making iTunes unusable?

The program constantly freezes and won't let me update my iPods. Am I missing an iTunes update or do I have to wait for Windows to fix this?

If you believe the issue is with a Windows update, why would you ask the question on an Apple forum? Contact Microsoft.

How could anyone possibly know? You have provided no details like the version of iTunes on your computer.
Did you check to see what version of iTunes is on your computer?

I'm drowning in the sea of HD export presets. Salvation wanted please..

Hello,
I hope the forum proves again its functionality like it did before. Cause my head's getting a little bit blurry now, from all the presets.
So, the big issue is that I want to export a HD project to a format in which I dont get a wrongly cropped/stretched/laggy/wrong-frame-rate/... image. I know it's not that hard, but I just cannot figure it out anymore.
I checked other topics and discussions, and found some concerning more or less the same question but I didn't find the right answer, sorry.
Let's make a list of the settings/info:
     - OS: Windows XP service pack 3, Premiere CS4 (and AE, Photoshop, ...)
     - My captured and imported images are shot with a Canon HV40 HDV camera, and have, according to the title display in the left bottom corner of Premiere the following specs: 1440x1080 (1080p), frame rate 25 fps and PixelAspectRatio 1,3333 (HD anamorphic 1080 i guess?).
To make sure that these are the exact specs of my video files, i tried - following the ever-returning advice of this forum user Bill hunt- importing my video files in Gspot. But, don't ask me why, Gspot only displays that my files are MPEG-2. The file extension is .m2t.
     - The Premiere CS4 preset I used to make my project is -to match the video files specifications- the HDV 1080 p(rogressive) Preset, displaying the same specs as above.
     - I do not want to export my video to youtube, I want to show the video to an audience using a beamer, which is the reason why I want to keep the quality pretty high. I don't know whether I am going to play the movie on a MAC or a Windows computer, so I need to make 2 versions (each one smoothly compatible with the according OS). Also I want a copy of the movie in HD quality to show to someone on a strong computer.
     - I live in Belgium, Europe. Does this matter in this case? I know that NTSC is the standard in the US and and Japan etc, and that PAL is the standard in Europe. But does this still matter up to this day, with the rather, uh.., global economy and quick exporting of products etc... I do not know alot about this, I hope you understand my question. I mean, what are the consequences from these standards? Do they concern your screen/monitor... ?
     - When I want to export - using Adobe Media Encoder, a HDV export preset with 1080 p, 1440x1080, P.A.R. 1,33333 and a 25 fps is NOT AN OPTION?????
There are other export presets available of course, for example the MPEG-2 / HDTV 1080p 25 (fps) High Quality. But in the summary it goes: PAL (??), 1920x1080, 25, p . It is right that the PixelAspectRatio on this exportpreset becomes 1.0 (square), right?
Yes, I know that the eventual size is the same, because both the pixels increase in number, but decrease in size (badly explained i know).
Is this the export format i should use? Will my image not crop, shock, stretch.. ?
I'm sorry, for many of you this must seem a stupid and lazy question but I can't figure out the whole system behind this, I would very much appreciate it if someone could explain.
Thanks in advance;
Sincerly but dazzled,
Jef

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

Why does the export to word from adobe conversion tel me everytime their is a problem when I attempt

Why does the new export from PDF to Word programme tell me evrytime that thier is a problem with the export?

Hi Tony,
Have you tried submitting your documents via the ExportPDF web interface: http://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html ?
Could you also open one of these files in Adobe Reader and choose File > Properties. What does it say next to 'Application' and 'PDF Producer'?

Lightroom Export Presets Missing!

I have tried the restore presets under preferences and doing a repair as an installation option but neither restored Lightrooms presets. I am using V2.6. Any ideas on how I get the Lightroom export presets?

I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
I am experiencing two problems:
1. Firstly I am missing presets
a. By presets I mean
                a. keyword presets,
                b. filter presets, and
                c. custom develop presets.
b. "Just missing presets" constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
2. I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
I've been using them for months.
This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
Restores have not helped.
There have not been any recent system updates.
The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
Are they not part of the catelog?
Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

Why is my FCP export blurry/pixelated?

I'm using FCP 4.5 (upgrade next year!) and complete newbie to FCP/video post.
I've captured video from a Sony PD150 using "DV PAL 48KHz". Now when I play back the video is horribly blurry and pixelated. When playing, but when paused it's nice and sharp! Is this just the "Canvas"?
When I export the clip to "Quicktime Movie" using "Current Settings" the video also comes out blurry - although according to the manual it's supposed to be "broadcast quality". If I change output settings to "Uncompressed 10-bit PAL 48KHz" it's way better.
My questions are - why is the default export so blurry? And what format/codec do I need to export for hi-quality DVD playback - i.e. format/codec to import into DVD Studio Pro or iDVD?
Thanks!

No render bars are showing. I don't believe I've changed the footage in any way. This is all working off a brand new project and straight after capture. To give you an idea..
This is a still frame in FCP when it's not playing:
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4552/stillw.png
This is when it is playing:
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9269/moviee.png
And this is an export to DV - PAL:
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/4733/dvpal.png
What format do I need to be exporting to plug into DVD authoring? If I can export ok to this format maybe I don't need to worry, although I'm still confused why export to DV - PAL is giving such a poor picture since I thought that was like the lossless format for post editing?

Default Export Presets completely vanished

Hi all;
I was busy exporting images for a project, and when I went back to export another, all the default export presets were suddenly gone - all that is left in that box is something called untitled with all the settings set at 0. How do I get them back? Where did they go? Is it a view options problem or something more serious? Do I need to re-install Aperture to get them back? I would just make up my own preset, but I know diddly about gamma and color stuff etc. etc.
Thanks to all in advance!

Hi!
I figured this one out by calling Mac support. I couldn't say exactly what they guided me through, but I did have to go to applications - library and delete some presets plists. All is good now.

Exported Image Doesn't Match Export Presets After Use of Straightening Tool

Unlike my experience with previous versions, in Aperture 2.1, after applying the "Straightening Tool", I cannot get an exported image to match the dimensions set for "Export Preset." The results are a reduction in size.
It appears that the output is being based within the rectangular confines defined by the out of view corners of the rotated image rather than that of what is actually being displayed.
Is there a new method I am missing or is this a bug?

So, like really, no one has experienced this problem?
The resulting dimensions of the exported image, which was rotated by the "Straightening Tool" are smaller than that of the export image, of the same picture, not rotated, but with the same "Export Preset" selected.
Example:
I want all my exported images to be a dimension of 200 x 300 pixels. Those exported without the "Straightening Tool" applied are exactly 200 x 300. Those, say with a 10º "Rotate" applied to the original and, exported with the same "Export Preset" dimensions, result in an image which is 145 x 216 pixels in dimension.
This is very unlike Aperture 1.5.6, in which the exported output of both image versions would be identical, at 200 x 300 pixels in dimension.

Image Export Presets won't save

Hey folks, since I've upgraded to Aperture 2.1, I hadn't setup any new export presets since using Aperture 1.5 and noticed that my export behaviour is all messed up.
Specifically - if I try to add my own preset, upon hitting the OK button and revisiting the image export preset screen, my added presets do not persist!
Even more surprisingly, if I delete many of the existing presets (say all the TIFF presets) when I come back to the Image export presets the deleted presets have returned from the dead.
Can anyone provide some insight on this? I can't find any other place in Aperure or the OS that governs the preset settings.

Fyi - if you run into this problem completely un-installing and re-installing Aperture seems to have fixed it.
I'm not clear on what lead up to the issue tho.

How do I import custom export presets from PPro CS6 to PPro CC?

In CS6 I have a big list of custom export settings specific to the various broadcasters that I upload content to; would like to not have to rebuild them all in CC. How can I transfer them over? I cannot find where the custom export presets are stored in the system. Mac OSX 10.7.5

Here's what I did on a PC. Should work similarly on a Mac.
Open Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
Select your customer preset.
From the "Preset" menu, select "Export", and choose somewhere to temporarily save the preset file.
In AME CC, you then need to import these files.

Export Preset Name list, it disappeared !!

I have problem with the Export Version option from Aperture software; when I used this option to export an photograph I selected the 1024 x 1024 option, next, the system send to me an alert message, something like: "..corrupt transfer.." and when I tried again the same action, the default Export Preset Name list, it disappeared !!
I reload all the software, 1.5 Version and 2.0 update software and the problem continues.
What I need to do in order to fix the problem?
Thank You...

Hi Damian,
I tested in my environment, change the column name and export to excel list, the exported field name is the correct one.
Please check the column name from somewhere else from site UI, you could check from SharePoint designer or powershell script.
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$site= New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite ("http://siteurl")
$web=$site.OpenWeb()
$list=$web.Lists["CustomList"]
$list.Fields |select ID, title, internalname| more
In addition, I wonder if the issue occurs to all lists or one specific list. If the issue only occurs to one list, please try to save this list as template and create a new list based on this list and test the issue again.

Why are the iPhone/Apple TV export presets better quality than QT h.264

I've been exporting a lot of content to the web lately and we use Compressor to batch encode most of it, but one thing has always puzzled/frustrated me! If you export using one of the Apple device presets, then the quality of output is pretty **** good, and these presets are all H.264 based. But if you export as a QT file with the H.264 codec, with all the same settings the quality is noticeably worse!
Does Apple have some special H.264 encoder hidden way for use in theIr presets?
Its really starting to frustrate us as we want to get that some quality but have a bit more flexibility with the data rate and resolutions.
Any ideas?

That's why I find this so puzzling. The extra blockiness is VERY apparent when watching the video played back. The main difference I see from the Media Info analysis is that F4V says "CABAC/3 ref frames" instead of just "2 ref frames". I suppose my main question is whether or not its possible to get the same quality in an mp4 file.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.
