Are you communicating with a network? This could prove slow if there is a communication jam. We had a similar thing whereby the G5 in the morning would take an age to boot up.

[Wayne Carey] “Export to Compressor feature to output your timeline directly to Compressor”

If you do happen to do this bear in mind that you will not be able to put in chapter markers as easily as if you imported a Quicktime. When you export directly to Compressor you mpeg stream will be made up of ‘I’,’P’&’B’ frames; you cannot insert chapter markers on anything other than an ‘I’ frame. When you export to Quicktime every single frame is an ‘I’ frame which makes inserting chapter markers a lot easier.

In your User Preferences about halfway down on the right-hand side there is a small drop-down menu.
” On Timecode Breaks ” and menu Make New Clip
Abort Capture
Warn After Capture

Choose one, default is make new clip, which is helpful if you decide to go to lunch while capturing a two hour long feature!

No effects, no mixed codecs.
Bars and tone from generator to uncompressed 10bit sequence, exported to Quicktime using current settings.

The only real problem might be she doesn’t have a Sorenson codec. What you could do is start a new sequence; 10bit uncompressed PAL ( 625, PAL being a colour encoding system ) and drop your sequence into this new one. Render and export to Quicktime using current settings. Could, should, work.

O.K.
Have you got mixed aspect ratios in your timeline? If so, correct, then render the whole timeline. Export this whole timeline as a self contained Quicktime. Import this Quicktime movie into the batch window within compressor. Select, from the drop-down menu your requied setting and submit that.
See how you go with that.

O.K. Just done another quick test and for 10 seconds of bars and tone an exported ‘self-contained’ movie is 274.4 MB! It’s exactly the same size as the same movie exported, as asked to be, self contained. So, what goes on there then?

The size of the file would indicate how much data has been exported wouldn’t it? A reference movie will only contain a couple of megs whereas a self contained movie would be much bigger, right?

The “PAL” bars that are generated when you ask for PAL are in fact what you would usually find at the line-up for N.T.S.C material. If you go to the same generator, (filmstip with A) and go to >others>more bars and signals, you will find true PAL bars. The default being 100:0:75:0. If you then go to the controls tab you can choose which test signals you want.
