"Writing Video" is taking forever on an animated full screen background

29 minutes to get rid of the redline on a segment that includes an animated full screen background. I'm on FCP 6 with a 3.06ghz/4gb RAM/nvidia 8800.
I'm going to buy a new iMac for something else. Is this an argument to upgrade to the ATI card? Would it perform faster on this? What about the extra 4gb of RAM? Would that make a significant impact on this process?
Your insights are greatly appreciated.

One way is to let FCP X do all the resolution and aspect ratio calculations.
When you create a new project, choose the "First Clip" setting and then drop one of your clips into the timeline. Sometimes people will use a graphic with a non-standard aspect ratio as the first clip and inadvertently create a mismatch with their video.

DPS Animation & Full Screen Video functionality failure when viewing mag in Adobe Content Viewer

HI There,
Specifically the following issues are occuring when we view the mag through the Adobe Content Viewer on our Ipad.
All Title animations are not functioning at all (although in the SWF viewer they are working fine)
Although we select the media to be played full screen when we are setting up the videos in the media panel they won't play full screen, but play perfectly well in the place we put them. - full screen doesnt function in the SWF viewer either.
The control bars to control playing, stopping, full screen etc also don't appear on our videos we selected. - doesn't function in the SWF viewer like it should with the control bars working
In terms of how we set everything up just to confirm we are doing it right.
For animations.
1. Select copy to animate
2. Click on Animations panel, chose the preset fade in, selected the time 1.25seconds, animate from current appearance, fade in.
For videos
Our videos are H264 Quicktime videos all 16x9 in ratio
1. Went to media panel.
2. Searched for file to insert
3. Inserted it and sized down the actual physical size of the video to fit in the space we wanted (NB we didn't create a rectangle to put them in or anything)
4. Chose the poster from file
5. Selected skin over play full screen & show controller over rollover
Any help to sort this out would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance

Hi BellaMove:
For the animations:
You have to create a document with the size of the animation you want to create and give attributes using the animation panel of indesign.
Then you export to fla and using Adobe Wallaby pass it to HTML5.
Then place them by the panel Overlay Creator (Web Content). Using the Content Viewer can not see it on your desktop. You'll have to climb the publication in the ipad to see the result.
Do not forget to retouch the css. Read this:
http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/3898796141/animate-headlines-or-other-things
Is the simplest way to make simple animations I've found.
I hope you find it helps

Change video resolution and get it to be full screen? How..?

Ok, so i got this small video clip i want to be in 720p. The "problem" is that its current video/image size is 640x480, and it is black on its left and right side. HOW do i edit the video so it gets full screened (and thereby stretched too) and in 1280x720 size? Like, when i play the video in media player and full screen it, it will be full screened WITHOUT those black tiles on the right and left side?

But does either of you know the answer to my other question about the fullscreen? Like, when i go into fullscreen in my media player, there should not be any black lines on the left or right. I see many tv-series that works like this
It's all in the maths. Your monitor Aspect Ratio is 1280 ÷ 720 = 1.78:1 (the norm for most commercial DVD's) also known as 16:9. Your video aspect Ratio is 640 ÷ 480 = 1.33 (the norm for traditional TV screens) also known as 4:3.
If you have a 'semi-intelligent' modern widescreen TV you will often find that 4:3 programs look distorted because your TV has stretched the image to ensure no black bars top and bottom. You then have to manually switch, with your remote, the aspect ratio to 4:3 to make the image look normal - but this then leaves black lines left and right.
But the entertainment companies know that consumers want shows that fill the screen without black bars. To do this for older shows they artificially zoom the original to take only a portion of it. But they take that portion in a 16:9 ratio. It looks good on TV BUT, and a big BUT at that, you have lost some of the original image. They are also doing this with feature films.
Two examples that arouse my ire:
'The Wizard of Oz'. Originally filmed in 4:3 (most films before, around 1957, were). But go to any video store and you can buy a widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version of that film. All they've done is cut a 16:9 segment out of each frame and, figuratively, thrown the rest away.
'Original Star Trek'. You can buy this in widescreen, or watch the TV widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version - they are cropping it to 16:9 and throwing the rest away.
You can usually tell if a film/show has been cropped: there will be many examples (frequently of close ups on peoples faces) where the top or bottom of their heads don't show.
So to (finally) answer your question: to Share your video in a widescreen format you must crop your clips to a 16:9 frame - job done.
Cheers,
Neale

Watch my video podcasts in a row all on full screen

I used to watch all of my video podcasts in a row and itunes would go from one to the next and show them in full screen. Now each next video is back in the corner and I have to click full screen. I do have my preferences set to show in full screen. Thanks for any help.

1) You'll need to put them in a playlist. Tell apple you want this changed.

Ever since I updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro my video is taking FOREVER (over 20 hours) to export.

the video is only 20 minutes long. I've exported longer videos in less than 2 hours before so I have no idea what the issue is. The first time I tried to export this same video it started at saying remaining time was around 8 hours, went all the way down and finally finished and then said it there was an error in the export after 8 hours and the exported video wasn't there. So I decided to try the exporting process again, and last night before bed it said about 8 hours to export again. I just woke up and now it's still not finished (over 8 hours later) and NOW the remaining time is over 20 hours!!!! Does anyone else have these issues?

FCP rendering AVI video is taking forever, is this normal?

Hi all,
I am rendering some HD video files. Each are about 1 to 2 GB each. Last night it took this computer almost 9 hours to render just one of these 2 GB files. Is this normal or do I need to be on the fast track to a genius appointment?
regards,
Mike

You don't mention what format "some HD files" are being brought in as...
If you are capturing HDV (for example) your output could be 5-7X that required if you were working with ProRes.
Moral: If the work was faster on a 2.0GHz MacBook, you're on the lower fringe of the minimum processor requirements. Use the tools Apple provides (like ProRes) to maximumize your efficiency, but make a more powerful system a priority if you're going to be doing much of this kind of work.

Full screen background video

Hello.
I have purchased the Fullscreen background widget and have it installed in Muse cc . When you preview the page with the widget in the browser the video displays and plays no problem, but as soon as i add text in the normal way and then preview in browser the only thing that displays is the text, no video. Could somebody please advise on this?

Hi Sanjit.
Right. The last time i tried the fullscreen background video it was on a site i was already working on. So i started a new page away from that and after a little fiddling about i got some simple text on top of the video background which is a start. Now bearing in mind i was also following the Chris Kellett video while i was doing this i also, like in the video tried to add a footer item after that and the result was the video background was pushed and squashed to the top of the browser screen. I deleted and tried the whole thing again got the video back but no text on top or footer at the bottom.

Impossible to view videos in full screen mode

I realise an animation in Flash thinking it will allow to produce a more powerfull presentation than Powerpoint. It includes some videos of about 1' in .fl4 format that are in a separate file. I published this animation in .swf; and in standalone projectors for Mac and PC .exe and .app. It works well in normal mode, videos are running perfectly. But in Full screen it blocks when it get to a frame with a video, showing a black screen and freezing the animation. It does exactly the same with checking, unchecking "material acceleration" both in the Flash player when running the .exe or .swf or .app file or in the exportation (publication) parameters of the .fla file. I also try to play the .swf file in Chrome or Firefow instead of Flash Player : same problem. It does also the same on the several machines (Windows and Mac) of a museum that is supposed to run the presentation. I used Plash Player 10, then 11 and 12 version : same problem.
Result : in normal mode the presentation is dirty and it is really ruining more than three weeks of hard work.
I get through hundreds of Google searches without finding any solution.
Thank for your help. Before tomorrow if possible...

Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

Run full screen video with GarageBand

Good evening.
I have a question about using GaraBand with full screen video.
I'm creating a movie using Final Cut Pro (which's new for me) and creating a music track in Garageband.
I will like to have GarageBand to play the music in one track, using an interface I will send a click to the drumer but also ( and this is part of my question), I need to have GaraBand to play the sync movie I created, on a video beam running in full screen.
The goal is to manage the application in my laptop but the people should not see the application or anything on my desktop, they should be able to see just the video after I hit play.
So, is there a way to have GarageBand to send a clik to the drummer mintor, play the sound track and do split monitor on a video beam that should show just the full screen movie and not my desktop?
I will really appreciate any suggestion about this.
Note: I have Logic Pro 8 too, in case logic supports it.

Thank you for taking a look into this question Chris.
This is the very first time I'm trying to do this type of presentations and I'm not sure if there is a way or another application to run a music track with a click only for monitoring of the drummer (which GB does) and at the same time run the video which was edited to by synchronized with the audio the musicians will play.
I can see the the movie preview window and make it larger, the problem is that it will not pay in full screen move on a video beam.
I'm starting to feel that with GB it is not possible.

Can't view YouTube videos in full screen mode

This is a strange one. This problem is only happening on my son's account on his Mac Mini. We have several user accounts on that machine. On my account, I can watch a video on YouTube and click on the "full screen" icon to watch it full screen, but on his account clicking on the full-screen icon does nothting. I did a system update and found a new version of Safari and installed it. Still no fix (for him). Installed the latest flash plug-in for Safari, but the problem still persists. I assume it has something to do with some personal settings? I looked in the ~/Library/Safari folder, but not sure what to blow away.
Any help would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Every time i try to enlarge a video to a full screen mode, my Macbook reboots! This started to happen after i upgraded my firefox to 4.0.1. ! This is really annoying.

I have a Mac-book, i always use Firefox and never Safari nor anything else! I had it on for a long time, never done any sever crashes! but just a few days ago, Firefox asked for an upgrade which I've done. Now every time I try to run an online video "through the Firefox page" on a full screen mode, my mac reboots! Just when i click full screen :@
It never happened before.
I shall mention that this fault happens from time to time! and most videos run slow most of the time.
I am very sure that it's not my laptop!

Firefox for Mac: accidentally disabled full screen Flash video for Yahoo. How to reenable??

I was looking at a video on screen.yahoo.com, and that annoying "Now entering full screen... allow/don't allow" (paraphrasing) dialog came up at the top. I must have inadvertently selected the option to disable, because now when I click the fullscreen icon at the lower right part of the video, nothing happens at all. No full screen, no annoying dialog. Nothing.
As per other posts on this forum from people who have had this problem, I have tried the following:
• Deleted ALL Flash Player settings in my Mac's System Preferences
• Gone to about:permissions in Firefox and set Fullscreen to ALLOW for all Yahoo URLs
• Deleted all COOKIES for domain yahoo.com
I have also quit and rebooted Firefox after having done these things. Alas, I go back to the video on screen.yahoo.com, click the fullscreen icon in the video frame, and still get nothing.
I'm stumped. This seems to be a heavy price to pay for accidentally clicking the wrong button one time. Sort of a Zero Tolerance Policy approach to video settings... Any other ideas about how I can restore this functionality??
Thanks!
DM

You can hover the image.
That should make a delete X appear.
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Videos no longer play in Full Screen-why?

My music videos and movies no longer play in full screen. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'll tell you what I did right! They've been playing correctly, and today I went to play a new music video i downloaded from iTunes and I noticed it was a small thumbnail. I checked the others and they all played back the same. I went to my iPod settings to ensure that I had it set up to play in full screen. Can someone help and tell me what (if anything) I've done wrong? Thanks so much. Lori

Viewing a video on full screen using multipule displays

Well, i run two monitors. my primary is a LG and i extend my desktop too a secondary amtranas monitor. the LG one is high def wide screen and my secondary amtranas one is just a regular 4:3 Monitor which i use as a tv..
what i want to do is watch video's on the secondary monitor in full screen through itunes and still be able to do work on the primary monitor. but when i go in full screen mode on the secondary monitor using itunes... it blacks out my primary one too.
is their a way too tell itunes too only play video's on one screen and not black out the others? i dont think its a nvidia setting, cause itunes is the only program that does this. so far the only way i can counter this is just too watch the video in a window..
any help would be appreciated

Bump
I am also having this same problem. I usually like to game and have my visualizer on the screen but it turns my primary moniter black too. Could someone please help us out.
