Motion-created QuickTime not playing back properly

I have a small animation created in Motion that I imported into Final Cut Pro and inserted into my Timeline. It looks alright on my external NTSC monitor but when I change my AV settings to Digital Desktop Display -Full Screen and monitor it on my Cinema Display, there is a lot of artifacting and pixelation - especially with graphic elements and even titling created in Motion. I thought this was perhaps an interlacing issue - but none of the standard FCP filters could get rid of it. I test-exported the sequence to QT and made a DVD of it in DVD Studio Pro. Again, the animation played back fine on an NTSC TV monitor, but was crappy looking on my 32" LCD TV (It was a 16:9 DV NTSC anamorphic sequence). Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can make this look good on both the regular and LCD TV?

Your Cinema Display isn't really capable of showing interlaced footage with any sort of accuracy. What you see externally on the NTSC monitor is what you really have. If you must use the CD as a full screen display you need to get an "adapter" box that will rectifiy the problem. AJA & Blackmagic both make boxes, or the Matrox MXO would be the solution I believe. The MXO does some pretty neat tricks other than allow your CD to display interlaced footage correctly... Down converts HD to SD for one thing in RT, as well as allowing the CD to display things as they should be looking.

  • Quicktime not playing back correctly

    In FCP I exported Quicktime Movie. When I playback in Quicktime and manually drag to the end of the movie, it freezes and then turns black. When I go back to start and replay, the screen stays black and only plays the audio. I'm running the latest version of Quicktime. What's interesting is that I have an older version of Quicktime and the movie plays fine in it. Thanks.

  • Quicktime.mov not playing back from website

    iWeb 3.0.4
    I downloaded three .MOV to my site. One is playing back ok, the other two are only displaying the QuickTime symbol. I did empty the browser cache, but to no avail. Did check with server and the .MOV files are in the html folder, but not playing back. I also re-uploaded the questionable .MOV files, but it still does not let me open the files on my site. site name : bodoholst.com
    thanks in advance

    All three movies play OK for me.
    The pages are slow to load as this method of adding them to the pages requires the movie file to download with the web page.
    If you are happy to depend on viewers having the QuickTime plugin, this is a better way...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
    So that everyone can see your movies you really need to have flash fallback since there's still a lot of people around who don't have the QT plugin installed...

  • QuickTime movie made in QuickTime 7 audio not playing back in qt 10

    I made a qt using qt 7 pro, H.264 with the AAC audio compressor and that qt will not play back audio in QuickTime 10 which is what my client has on his computer.

    The point being here is that I rendered out a movie in QuickTime pro 7 and the audio isn't being resolved in QuickTime 10, even on my own computer.
    Does the audio play correctly in the QT 7 Player? Have you determined if this is a playback or a conversion problem? I asked about the source file since some source compression formats will not convert the audio using QT 7 Pro. In a similar manner, some AAC data rate and sampling rate combinations are not supported on the Mac which is why QT is programmed to disallow their use. (Unfortunately, I do not know what would happen if a source file using such audio settings were to be used as a source for a QT 7 Pro conversion.)
    How is this possible and should I just remove qt10 altogether?
    As already indicated, there are a number of "normal" problems that could give these results. In addition, QT changes made as part of the most recent Lion OS update seem to have had adverse effects on QT 7 Pro features (as evidenced by the loss of the "loop" playback feature and "green screen" problems on some platforms). As to the removal of QT 10, the embedded structures cannot be removed without corrupting the operating system. And, while the QT X player can be removed/deleted, why bother since you can just as easily opt not to use it for manual playback and restoring it, should you later change your mind, may present a problem.
    I am a professional editor, have been working on Macs since 1992 (Avid and FCP7) and have never had a compatibility problem like this before within the Mac environment.
    Have you made any recent changes to your normal work flow that might account for this problem and is the problem consistently repeatable?

  • Slow motion not playing back after 8.02

    I have iPhone 6 plus.  I shot a couple of slow-motion videos when device had iOS 8.0.  I just noticed that these videos are not playing back in slow-mo after the upgrade to iOS 8.02.  Anybody else having this problem?  Any suggestions?

    i noticed this too. Definitely something happened during an update. Whether it be 8.02 or IG update or something.
    Before if I wanted to upload a vid on instagram with slow mo,  I did where I want the slow mo part in default photos app, then it would apply in IG automatically, now IG or any app just plays the vid at regular speeds.

  • Insert a clip into a new sequence, the clip will not play back

    Macbookpro 8G ram twin 2.5 Intel, 1333 Mhz
    I am an experienced editor coming over from AVID.  This is my second project attempt in Premiere. First was fine. I imported clips that live on my hard drive.  When I make a clip selection, mark the in and out and "insert into a new sequence, the sequence will not play back un less I render it first. I am talking about one (1) shot maybe 3 seconds long.  I have done no other edits in the sequence and have added no effects but there is an effect icon on the clip in the sequence,  This can't be right. It is not the way it worked for my first test project.  It would take 40 hours to edit a 60 second spot…  What has happened here?
    Footage is 1080p 24fps.  Short with a digital DSLR and Files are the same (.mov)  as in the first project,

    I have exactly the same problem. All of a sudden preview window is not working properly. In some projects it only plays audio with gray screen, in some it doesn't plays at all or plays audio from another projects. Sometimes preview gets frozen with the first frame in the project. I can however play video from Event Library, but without any sound. When I create new project and drag clips from Library, it plays with gray screen and again without sound. Restarting iMovie or Mac is no help. I'm using iMovie 8.0.6
    Waiting for help desparatly, thank you

  • Images in iMovie not playing back

    I added an image to a project I had already been working on.  I then added an audio file to all of the images. When I hit the play button the image I added does not show in the playback but instead an image two away and then it plays the second and third fine. This happened to two images I inserted in the project.
    I noticed that the recently added images in iphoto when I click the camera icon have a green check mark in the corner.  What does that mean and is that stopping them from showing in the playback?
    I would appreciate any help.

    Fixed the issue myself. Here's a step-by-step because I what found online pertaining to this issue were not clear on how to fix it.  (Note that this is what I did to fix the problems, some of the steps might not be strictly necessary.)
    How to get movies to start playing back again in iMovie '09: 
    1.) Close iMovie.
    2.) Delete contents of the "iMovie Cache" folder for the event that is not playing back correctly.
             - There are were two files "Cache.mov" and "Cache.plist", I deleted both.
    3.) Restart iMovie
    This appeared to force the program to generate new files and start working correctly.  From what I read on other postings it was probably caused by the program not closing properly, which I seem to recall it crashing on me or my wife a while ago.
    @ Bengt Wärleby
    I appreciate you taking the time to post a reply, but please try to read the question before you do so in the future.  I had said that files imported from the same camera work correctly (i.e. the same file type/codec), so the problem is obviously not a codec issue.  Furthermore, .mov is the extension for the QuickTime File Format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mov). 

  • Imovie not playing back video from one event

    Select vidoes in iMovie '09 won't play back for me.  All I get is a black box, no audio, no video.  The issue appears to be confined to videos from one particular event.  The preview shows up just fine, but no actual video. 
    The videos were taken and imported from the same Sony camera as the videos that do work.  They also play back fine in Quicktime.  The format is .mov.  Any ideas?

  • Quicktime not playing black magic codec files, or avi

    Hello!
    I'm on a new macbook pro (17"). my friend on an older mac laptop can play back a quicktime file in the player that has the blackmagic codec, but I cannot.
    I can open the file and play it in final cut pro, I can see it in shake, but I can't play it back in the quicktime player. it shows up all white, but does list the codec as being the black magic 10 bit uncompressed codec.
    I've downloaded the codec from black magic, and dropped it in /library/quicktime, but I'm not getting any result.
    I've also tried "touching" the quicktime folder like they recommend, but nothing's working.
    quicktime's also not playing back avi files, but I know that can be a bigger issue.
    Any ideas?
    thanks!
    -Josh

    The Blackmagic Software Codec.component I just downloaded today show it to be PowerPC. Your Intel Mac needs a Universal version or else you need to run using Rosetta.
    Your .avi issue is probably the same reasons.

  • Sound Does not Play Back

    I am playing recorded video from a Sony HDR-HC1 through the DV out and capturing in on location. All goes well(except for some red frame video) during capture, good video and audio. I captured three times. On one occasion the audio played back. The other two it did not. Audio will not play back in PP CS3. The file is an AVI T2. The same clips play back fine in Edius 3.6 with good sound.
    Any tips on what is wrong?
    Kent

    Hey There and Welcome to the mac forum!!!!
    Could it be possible that you moved or even trashed the audio files you were using? If so then they get trashed in imovie to.
    Next time, transform the movie into a Quicktime movie (once you are completely done the project). Once you have done this, you can move or even trash any of the elements of your movie (even the footage) but this will make your actual imovie project useless (The Quicktime one will be fine).
    I hope this helps,

  • Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

    I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
    Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference.  I need help?

    FYI...
    There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
    Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
    If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

  • Recorded videos on iPhone 4S don't play back properly on PC

    I've been trying for about two weeks to get videos I record on my new iPhone 4S (iOS 6) to play back properly on my computer running Windows XP.
    Most recently I installed Filmic Pro 2. One of the reasons was to be able to record the videos in lower resolution, hoping maybe the reduced file size would help the files to behave properly on my computer.
    The video files I just recorded and transfered to my PC using DiskAid (in MOV format) play back perfectly in VLC Media Player, but when I play them using QuickTime there is just a black screen with audio. The same thing happens when I import them as clips in Camtasia Studio - only a black screen with audio when playing back the timeline. These videos are 1280x720 and range from 97 MB (about 1 minute) to 430 MB (about 5 minutes) in length.
    Regarding DiskAid, the previous version I had installed started crashing every time I ran it with my phone connected - it would crash as soon as it began loading the camera roll. I just installed the latest DiskAid update, and this version successfully copies videos from the camera roll to my computer without crashing. But there is the black screen problem with these videos.
    Does anyone have experience with this problem or suggestions that might help?
    Thanks!

    This solution that worked for me and i’m using Windows 7:
    Uninstall Quicktime 7.7.2 and reinstall the older version 7.7.1, here’s the link for it:

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.
