XDCAM EX file loses contrast when exported

I NEED HELP from any genius!!!!
As I explain with pictures so it's easier!
This are the properties of the file i'm editing
this is how video looks like:
The problem is that when i export the timeline the resulting video looks like this:
This export was made with several codecs: h.264, sorensson 3,animation (all quicktime`s mov)
When i read the levels of the resulting video, in the hystrogram I notice that all the gray scale is squeezed to the black side (left)... and the withe side begins in the middle of the histogram...
WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!????
PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE TO SOLVE THIS UNTIL THE MORNING COMES!!
LOVE YOU!

Thanks a lot!

Imported quicktime files lose resolution when exported from FCE

I am having trouble with quicktime files losing resolution after I add titles and transitions to them in FCE.
I'm doing some video morphing so I use different software to create the quicktime files, and then I import them into FCE in order to add titles and transitions, and then I want to export again as quicktime files.
The problem is, when I export the completed movies from FCE, the quicktime file section of the movies ends up being a much lower resolution than when I had imported it. I am using all the same compression settings throughout: Sorenson 3, Best, Frame rate 15 fps. The movies are 1001x751 in size.
Any ideas on how to get the movies to come out as crisp and hi res as the original clips?
Thanks.
FCE 2.0.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
FCE 2.0.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Quicktime 7.0.4

Sorenson 3 is a web compression codec. You need to create your videos in DV NTSC at 720x480 at the 29.97fps. That the format that's specified in FCE.
All the best,
Tom

Image loses contrast when transferring from ACR to PSE11

I have a new PC running Windows 8.1 x64 bit and have reinstalled PSE11 from the CD (previously it was installed on a PC running Vista x32 bit).
Apart from having to go into all my most frequently used sections to re-set the parameters to how I had them before, all seems to be well with one rather irritating exception ...
I get the image looking just about right in ACR, but when I click Open Image to apply a few final tweaks in the PSE11 Editor, the picture seems to lose contrast in the move. With my previous setup, once I was satisfied with the general look of the part-edited image in ACR, it appeared pretty much the same when opened in PSE.
This will have nothing to do with monitor calibration, since the common factor here is the monitor screen. The issue is to do with the general appearance of the image when viewed in ACR as compared with how it then appears in PSE. I have the colour space set as sRGB and the PSE viewing parameters as 'optimised for viewing on computer screens' (I don't do that much printing).
Anyone else experienced this problem? What have I missed or what can I do to rectify things, please?

OSX outputs pdfs at 72dpi if there is any transparency such as shadows, reflections, charts and of course directly specified transparency.
The jpeg is generated from a pdf and is the wrong method of producing an ad, which should remain text/vector to stay sharp, with photographic style images at 300dpi.
jpegs should only be used for purely photographic material because it makes everything else fuzzy.
Your ad should be supplied as a vector pdf. If it has photographic material do not use transparency effects and make sure the images are at least 300dpi at final size.

File name trouble when exporting

Sometimes FCP is adding three characters (like for example #DD2) to the file name when exporting (cmd+e). I have never had trouble with this before. What can be the reason for this?

I don't know what's causing your problem. The only time I've seen additional characters added to file names is if the target drive is formatted as FAT16/32 and the file has to be broken into 2/4 GB chunks or if you are using compressor and you've set it up to append the preset name to the output name.
Is there anything unique about material source, processes, settings, etc when it happens vs when it doesn't?
Good luck,

Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.

Muse buttons appear garbled when published to BC. Files look fine when exported to html.

See attached. BC publishing can not be trusted. This has happened several times.

Why does this forum miniaturize attached images so you can't see the detail? See attached enlargement. This only appears when published to BC. Ok when exported to html. Can't trust BC

In elements 6, certain edited files lose color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Why is this happening?

Using Elements 6- when editing files in certain applications such as Portrait Proffesional, the edited versions lose their color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Also, when I use elements 6 e- mail attatchment to e-mail a single file, I get a message that says too much has been taken up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well here's my workflow. I'm using Firewire external HD for storing Aperture library.
1. Creating Folder with client's name
2. Creating New project with shooting name in the clients folder.
3. importing all RAW files into project. During that process i'm adding all keywords, time adjustment, credits etc....
4. sorting photos, adding ratings (1 - for delete, 4 and 5 - to keep).
5. making smart albums (according to ratings). Deleting all 1 star files.
6. Editing all 5 stars (the one i'll give to the clients). If i'll need to edit it with photoshop, i'll use open in external editor. And keep the final psd file also in the Aperture library.
7. Adding "final version" keyword to all files ready to be send to the client.
8. Making a new smart folder (sorting by "final" keyword)
9. Using internal web publishing - i'm publish them on my .Mac account. Sending the link to the client
10. Using presets exporting tiffs and jpg versions and burning them on DVD for my client.
11. Also - i'll print them using Aperture.
12. Backing up the project - both on DVD and Aperture Vault (using external HD).
13. I'm also backing up Aperture library using TimeMachine (using 3rd external drive).

Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

Why are files going offline when exporting from premiere

Hi all
I've got a feature length documentary of 2 hours. All files are online but upon exporting from premiere via media encoder the finished file has 'media offline' on some shots. I have NO idea why this is happening. All clips are online on the timeline.
I'm exporting both blu-ray mpeg and dvd mpeg. The project is on an external hard drive. Can anyone help this is a nightmare!?
Will exporting via premiere pro direct fix this problem?
Thanks

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

Errors when using "Limit file size to" when exporting images

When I try to use the "limit file size to" option in Export, I often get at least one image that doesn't export, and I get a dialogie box like the image attached here:
As I am exporting in batches, it geats really messy and risky too!I have tried various file size options but that doesn't seem to be a factor.
Any ideas on solving this, or is it an unfixed Lr bug?!
thanks in advance

I can't reproduce it here, so you could try trashing the preferences file http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1148/198/how-do-i- delete-the-lightroom-preferences-file
If that doesn't do the trick, post it on the Official Feature Request/Bug Report Forum

Weird file format produced when exporting to Compressor

I em exporting to Compressor from FCP to create an MPEG 2 video. In the past, it's always produced an "_MPEG - 2 Video_." Now it's creating an _"MPEG-2 ( which is followed by a bunch of Japanese symbols)"_. Don't know why this is happening. The default app to open is now a Droplet instead of Quicktime. Also when I try to export to compressor I am getting a message of "Selection contains no media." I am able to work around this, but this is coinciding with this other problem.
I also recall that some of my MPEG - 2 files that were created as QTs have been converted (how? I don't know, but I am suddenly recalling) to this weird Droplet format.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
this rings a bell, anyhow, here something to try:
-Try to export as QT movie self contained (this will keep identical quality) from FCP and import that in Compressor.
-- Use [this little application|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to trash preferences of bothj FCP and Compressor (note: with preference manager you can back up and reinstall your current preferences if you wished to).
Finally something I'd rather suggest if I had more info handy, however,
--- In Compressor's main menu>Compressor>Click on reset background process then resbmit.
Any of all these help?

From 1.5 to 2.1 - file path resets when exporting multiple ddl files

Situation:
I regularly export data using the following steps - right click table name->export data->insert
I am then prompted for the file path and file name. I type the path and script name, save and then move on to the next table.
In 1.5, when I was prompted for the file path and name, the last path entered automatically populated along with the file name (equal to the current table name).
However, after migrating to 2.1 and importing the settings from 1.5, the behaviour changes. Instead of filling in the prior path, the prompt always resets and provides the default windows session directory. Since I export multiple tables to the same directory on a regular basis, this becomes problematic. I have a work-around that involves cutting / pasting the path each time but I'm looking to streamline where I can.
I suspect I merely need to set the correct preference value somewhere. Does anyone know what that preference setting would be? Again, the goal is for the file path prompt to fill in the value of the last path entered when I exported the previous table during a mullti table data export.
Thanks in advance....

I'd rather say that's a lost feature (no preference, sorry). Probably an accident, but might be by design. Anyway, makes sense to put it back.

Files not found when exporting (Neat's fault?)

Hello everyone!
It's been a week trying to export my first documentary and I'm getting totally nuts.
I used Neat noise reducer in 10.1.3 fcpx, and in my first export I found that many parts of the video were in red with the 'file missing' icon. I think all of them
had been filtered.
The library icon has this sign as well.
But in the timeline and project videos everything seems ok. I'm using the 2 internal HD's and I tried to change the 'Original Files' to the same folder.
But....when I restart fcpx (I already removed Neat and unticked every single box). Magic! The reduce noise boxes are ticked again. I untick all, in the timeline I see how the red parts turn to normal and then I export again. But the same parts remain 'missing'. I'm desperate and I don't know if I misunderstood something basic in the process of importing. I reimport everything and it says that anything needs to be reimported.
Shall I reinstall Fcpx? Shall I start from the beginning? I don't know what to do yet. I'll add a screen shot just in case you see something strange.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Martí.

Thanks for the replies.
In the Proxy folder there are both the compounds and the full videos. I started to compound to gather some cuts and make it easier to set a common sound eq or the same exposition. In some instances I used different settings for every cut and after another setting to the compound (specially audio).
Kind regards.

Lose quality when export to internet

I created a slideshow in iPhoto vs iMovie to maintain the photo quality (or so I thought). I exported it large and uploaded it to YouTube. However I lost too much quality to be useful.
I exported it to .mov to Large size then opened it in iMovie. However, it lost the quality going into iMovie so I didn't even bother exporting it.
Please help. I'm creating a plant tour for my company.
Thanks!!

I exported it large
so your photos were compressed in the process
and uploaded it to YouTube.
And then the compressed video was compressed again in this step too.
Export from iPhoto at the largest possible size, then try upload. But there is always an element of luck when you upload to YouTube or similar sites as you have no control over their compression routines.

Remove file name prefix when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I found a script here which exports the active document as a PDF to the desktop.
I would like for it to change the file name such that the first two characters are removed.
Example:
The existing file name is: X_pagelayout.indd
I would like this script to create a PDF named: pagelayout.pdf
Thoughts?
Your help is very much appreciated.
var myFolder = "~\Desktop";
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocname = myDoc.name.split(".indd");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(new File(myFolder+"\\" + myDocname.join(".pdf"))));

Hi tlumbis,
I didn't get any issue, any way try the below new one.
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
var myFolder = "~\Desktop";
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocname = myDoc.name.split("_")[1];
var myNewName = myDocname.replace(/.indd/gi, ".pdf");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(new File(myFolder+"\\" + myNewName)));
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
thx,
