Rendering a Quicktime .mov in CS5 as 16:9 but getting roughly a 4:3

Basically what it says in the subject line. I'm using basic settings on a PC and here's a screenshot. A friend of mine is having the same trouble and on top of that his sound mix guy, who uses a mac, can't get any sound from the .mov file. Any thoughts?

There are a number of ways of sorting your issue.
In your case easiest way is maybe:
Dont use a DV Codec because it has a fixed aspect ratio.
Try H264 for example with square pixel output.
You may have to adjust the vertical dimensions of the movie.
Do that by unlocking the dimesions from each other then adjust the vert dimension while watching in the OUTPUT TAB of Media Encoder.
example - I have built a QT preset for small preview movies from 1080p source footage and the dimensions are 680 x380 square pixels. This is guaranteed to open correctly in my clients displays.

Quicktime movies saved on mac have sound but no video in QTpro (windows)

I have QT files saved on a hard drive by someone on mac (hard drive formatted to be compatible with both mac and windows) The QT files wouldn't open initially, I upgraded to QT pro and now they open and play, but only sound, no video. When I try to import them into Adobe Premiere elements, i get a missing codec error message, but it doesn't tell me what codec I need.
Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution?

Open the file using QuickTime Player and then open the Movie Inspector window to view the codecs used.

Quicktime MOV washed out

Hi, I had a movie edited in AE and rendered with format of Quicktime movie while everything remained default. But the color of the rendered movie was washed out when played in quicktime player.
If I rendered the movie with Windows Media format, the rendered movie was OK.
Was I missing something in the output module settings for quicktime mov?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
jusko

Thanks Steve, Steven and Todd for your responses. I am sorry that I hadn't mentioned my OS is Windows Vista with AE CS3.
Steve : In the output module, I selected Quicktime Movie format and by default the codec is H.264 which I think is the culprit for making the washed out mov. I then followed your advice to use Animation and the result was great! I'll try different settings for a better result. But I wonder why H.264 yields such a poor result as most movies nowadays use this codec.
Steven : I tried switching on "Match Legacy After Effects Quicktime Gamma Adjustments" in Project Settings, and left everything default, but the result was the same, e.g. the color of the rendered mov was lighter than the original.
Todd : I'll read carefully the information on the link that you mentioned.

Cannot export quicktime movie from iPhoto

latest imac (brand new)
iphoto slideshow...
when i try to export a slideshow as a quicktime movie...it renders the quicktime movie...then when it goes into the "saving" phase...it just keeps saving and never ends...
but it will let me save a high quality mp4 movie...
it seems to be something with the quicktime format
(i posted to the iphoto forum...no replies...it seems to relate the quicktime format...so thought maybe someone here could help)

I had the same problem and figured it out. I had a FLA from the office and took it home to work on. At the office I was exporting to a folder on the staging server and had my SWF and HTML Publish settings set up that way. At home I tried to export the same FLA to quicktime (along came the aforementioned error). I made a folder on my local drive, set my publish settings for my SWF and HTML to export there, published, and low and behold, I was able to export to Quicktime. Problem solved.

Can not export to a quicktime movie

So, I've spent the past two weeks putting this wedding video together on final cut express HD 3.5.1 and I'm all set to burn it to a DVD. I figured the easiest way to do this would be through iDVD. iDVD recommends that, while in FCE, I choose the "Export to quicktime movie" command to create a quicktime file that I can then drag and drop to iDVD. Sounds easy enough, but I simply can not export my project to QT in FCE. Every time I attempt to do so, one of two things happens: 1) after about a second of "writing audio and video" it quits w. the following error message: "file error: unknown file" or 2) the entire project is "written," but the created QT file will not open up and does not give a helpful explanation as to why.
By no means am I married to iDVD or QT if anybody has any other suggestions as to how I can feasibly get my FCE project somehow burned onto a DVD. But if anybody has any suggestions w/ or w/o exporting to QT, please please please help me as soon as you can. This is my sister's wedding video and she and her husband will be moving to colorado next week! I really need to get this to her before then.
My scratch disk is an external HD - USB-HDD (FAT32) Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I have to plead ignorance regarding the firewire "drive" that you're referring to. My USB-HD is connected with a firewire cable. I'm not familiar with the distinction between this type of connection and a "firewire drive."
You might be interested to know I was able to successfully export a ten-minute DVD clip (with multiple tracks and rendered video) excerpted from my final cut project and subsequently burn it to a DVD. It didn't look like it had exported successfully, because it was still a .fcp file. I simply changed it to a .mov and changed the default opener from FCE to Quicktime and "voila" I had a quicktime movie. Too bad I can't get the same thing to work for the two-hour project.
Nonetheless, the fact that I was able to get the clip on a DVD gives me confidence that somehow, some way I can convert my whole project to a quicktime file. It's my hope that someone will read this forum and burst forth with a fresh, imaginative approach keeping in mind I'm not about to run out and spend two hundred bucks on a third hard drive I don't need.
Thanks for your suggestions. Please keep them coming if you have any other ideas.

Embedded QuickTime movie malfuncioning

I'm using Keynote '08 (vers 4.04) under Tiger.
One of the slides in my Keynote presentation is a short QuickTime clip with audio. Everything works perfectly when I play the Keynote presentation.
However, after adding a narration to the presentation and exporting the presentation as a QuickTime file, the short clip malfunctions. The clip's audio starts, but the movie itself only starts rolling towards the end of the short clip.
Any clues what could be causing this please?
Thanks

Mine is not a true test as I am using Keynote '09 with Mac OS X 10.5.8, but just did a test and the slide that had both a Quicktime movie and a narration did export but the movie did not start until everything that I said in the narration had finished. So when I was trying to talk over the movie, it did not export that way.
One workaround for you would be to record the narration in Keynote and save, then right click the file in the Finder and Show Package Contents (if you don't see this option see below how to find the file) and look for the file called narrationTrack1.m4a and drag it to the desktop.
Then go back to your Keynote file and Export, but uncheck the box that says to include the Recorded Audio. Then add the Quicktime movie to iMovie and then add the audio file to get the narration with it. Then export the whole thing from iMovie.
Definitely not the ideal workaround, but hopefully it will work for you.
If you don't have the option to Show Package Content, follow these steps
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder and drag out the audio file
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)

Viewing iWeb Quicktime movies on PC

Greetings,
I've posted several Quicktime movies on my iWeb site and am getting reports from most of the PC users who've tried to view them that the movies won't open. I know that Quicktime 3 or later is needed. Is there any other advice I could give PC users toward viewing these movies?
Thanks!
BnB

Yes, Quicktime 3 is wayyyyyyy outdated.
Post a hyperlink on your web page with this link
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
add hyperlinks on you site in iweb easily by highlighting your text-
then menu>
insert>
hyperlink>
webpage>
the inspector will open on the right hand side of your screen
first drop down menu should say link to "external page"
second input your full web page link in the next text box
repeat as needed.
Good Luck

QUICKTIME MOVIES HANGING UP ONCE OPENED.

A problem has developed when I import and place a Quicktime movie into my timelines. The processor gets overwhelmed with one click, eventually will allow one movement such as repositioning the playhead, but every jump takes about 5 minutes. A complete stop to my work. I am using: Quicktime Player 29.97 480x368 mpeg4 square. Everything seem to be routine here. What is the problem?

If that's you're routine, you need to change it.
MP4 is a delivery codec. You need to be working in a production codec like DV, or DVCPro50, or Uncompressed 8-bit, or DVCProHD, etc.
And work at a resolution that is native to the codec you're working with. Convert to MP4 and resize as your final step before delivery.

Quicktime Movies Problem

I just noticed that when I click on a Quicktime movie file in my hard drive, I get an alert that says - "Windows - No Disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive". I can't get rid of the alert, and when the Quicktime movie viewer eventually opens, it doesn't respond. When I put a DVD into the disk drive, the Quicktime player does open, and I can play my file.
What gives?
Thanks!

If you are using QT 6.5. Go to C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application data\QuickTime you should have QuickTime qtr
Where there is a box for Read Only, you either put a check in it or uncheck it, I forget. You may have to right click on it and go to Properties for the Read Only box to appear.

HELP?! Quicktime movie rendered won't play?

I made a movie in After Effects and rendered it as a quicktime movie with Soren (Soerenson?) compression type. It played on my computer and some friends' both PC and MAC computers. Now I am out of town and trying to play it on a PC that was Quicktime version 7.1.3 installed. the music plays, but the movie is all scrambled with green and blue nonsense, you can't see anything in the movie. WHy would this be? HELP PLEASE!!

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly! Now can you explain to me what that did? Do I need to switch it back for them? So that I know in the future.

Looping Quicktime Movies in Keynote & Keeping them Looped when Rendered

Okay I have a quicktime movie that I am using as the background of my slide show. I have text fly in and out over the movie. I can get the movie to loop when I view the slideshow but when I try to export the slideshow to Quicktime the Background quicktime movie only plays once and then stops. I want the quicktime background to continue to loop when I render the entire slideshow to quicktime. And yes I have checked the loop box in the quicktime tab in the inspector window. Please Help!

Yes, it is one slide with layered builds going in and out. The first 2 times I tried this it worked then on the same keynote file it stopped working on the second render and now it does not work even if I create a new file.
While I do understand that I could make my slideshow, time it and loop the movies together in iMovie I do not feel that I should have to render two separate things loosing quality on each render because of the time aspect.
Why would it work and all of a sudden stop? I should not have to go through iMovie making loops and rendering things twice when Keynote should be working.

FCP 7 crashing on render and when exporting quicktime movie & rendering

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded to Lion and am still using Final Cut Studio 3.
I have a 1.37min sequence which i wanted to export and burn the DVD. My normal workflow for this is:
- Export/quicktime movie/make self contained
- Open compressor and convert
But FCP 7 keeps on crashing on export, in fact is very unstable recently. It also crashes on rendering, and quite often when im editing.
- Final Cut Studio 7.03
- Footage is HDV 1080 50i
Any ideas on a solution??

Are you converting those clips to ProRes in ClipWrap? Or keeping them native? You MUST convert them to ProRes.
The NXCam came out just before 7.0.3. FCP did update to mesh with that camera, but it's still rocky. And now that FCP 7...legacy...has been discontinued, there will be no more updates. But you have ClipWrap so that should be fine. As long as you convert to ProRes.

Dropped audio when sequence rendered to self contained quicktime movie

last week i rendered my project to quicktime movie file and all was fine --today --after having done some minor tweeking of the project a clip is missing audio when i send project to quicktime--i've tried rebuilding the troublesome clip--the clip has a segment of audio with one segment that is linked to it and 2 other clips that xdissolve before and after the linked items --total duration about 30 seconds---i've checked audio on and made sure there are no track volume adjusters turned down---is this an fce hd problem or quicktime and might the sequence be corrupt?--i'm at a loss with this one? any ideas folks?

Try Mixing Down the audio just before you export.

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?
