  Exporting to WMV

  Posted by Steve Price on November 5, 2009 at 11:58 pm

  Hi All,

  I’ve been trying to export my timeline to WMV.

  My timeline is 3 minutes 20 seconds in duration but the export only gives me the first 29 seconds of the clip.

  My sequence is 960×720 DVCPRO HD 720p50 25fps.

  I’m exporting using Export to Quicktime Conversion and I’ve chosen Windows Media from the list and selected 640×360 frame size. I’ve tried a variety of bit rates and pre-sets but it’s still just encoding the first 29 seconds every time.

  All other formats work just fine. I don’t have In and Out points set, but I did export a version with In and Out points set at the beginning and end but it made no difference.

  I’d appreciate any advice about where I’m going wrong.

  Many thanks,

  Steve.

  I remedied that problem when I purchased the full version of “Flip4Mac”, a program that allows you to play WMV files with the Quicktime player. The free version will only let you export a fraction of your project. Hope this helps……….

  Thanks Alvin,

  As a temporary fix-it I transferred my QuickTime file to my PC system and converted it in Premiere.

  I feel so cheap and ashamed…

  Cheers,

  Steve.
