Export from Timeline Issue
We are working with a client and they are running CS3 on the PC. We need them to export clips as DV so we can encode them for their web blogs. We tried to export using the DV codec and the export fails. This is what we are getting:
Error compiling movie
Unable to create or open output.They are exporting to WMV files and it seems to work fine. The only thing that will not work is the export to DV. Anyone point me in the right direction. I have never run Adobe Premier so I not sure what to look for.

If they keep trying to save the DV clip over its crashed version it might keep crashing. Is it a DV avi or DV mov. AVI should be working. MOV might not if they have the latest version of QT. (7.4.1) there is an error crashing exports from Adobe software (PPro+AE).
Export the DV AVI to another location. Otherwise they will have to reinstall the software. It sounds corrupted. DV AVI should be set properly to the standard theya re working in. Default settings for DV export is 24PA not the setting your project is.
Should still export anyway.

I actually went their and we were trying to export using the DV mov. Will give it a try avi. We are also trying to decrease the export time. I though using the DV codec would be fast and simple. On FCP a 30 minute movie could export in 3-4 minutes self contained. Thanks for the info

In FCP when you export a 30 minute move in 3-4 minutes you are actually creating a reference movie. Try taking that to a different computer and playing it back. Ha!
Both FCP and Premier Pro export to a large variety of file types, but if you aren’t going to use them, then simply exporting to movie/avi will be the fastest – though it will still take much longer than 3-4 minutes since it’s creating a completely new video and not just a reference video.
