Any Export to quicktime causes crash

I have a iMac with 2.93 Intel Core i7 Processor running 10.7 Mac OS Lion.
Recently I have been playing with Final Cut X and trying out new CS5.5
But funny thing is, Using After Effects and Premiere, if I try to export it as a QUICKTIME format and any of its codec,
It will say that the MoOv codec is corrupted, and when I try FCP 7 and drag a new file (In quicktime format) to the sequence which
sets its sequence same with its video codec, it crashes in 5 seconds. Compressor does not open.
I try reinstalling FCP, removing CS5.5 But it doesn't change, even the CS5 gives the same response.
I believe it is the codec problem, Problem is, I don't know what, where and how to fix it.
Please Help!
I can't edit using only FCPX which is the only thing that worked!

QuickTime is not a video format. The Finder description "QuickTime Movie" only means that the file should be playable using the QT Frameworks in Mac OS X.
The .mov file type is not a codec but a container, the video inside could have been made with any one of a number of codecs.
Open one of your Premiere or Ae renders in QuickTime Player. Press command and i to open the Inspector window. What does it say there?

QT 7.04: Export to AIFF causes Crash in all QT related apps

This is similar to thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1635999
Here is my scenario though:
When trying to export a group of clips ( 2 hrs in length)
captured in iMovie 4.01,
to disc using the export to Mpeg-2 QT option, the audio doesn't fully export, it stops at the 55 minute mark, and
forgets the rest, although the file itself is the correct length ( the rest of where the audio is missed, is filled with blank space).
The capture itself is fine, and plays with audio to
the end of the two hour capture.
So I went back and tried just an export to AIFf using
iMovie to Quicktime Expert option, however, it causes
iMovie to crash.
When I go into QT Pro 7.04, and try to "preset" the
Audio export options there, it casues it to crash.
If I try and do an export to Aiff from Final Cut Pro 4.5,
it causes Final Cut to crash.
I looked back over the recent three weeks before this, and the only things I have installed recently have been
MpegStreamclip 1.7, and ffmpegx 0.0.9w.
I will try trashing the QT Prefs, as well as the prefs
for iMovie and FCP, but does anyone have any ideas?
I have aslo tried various other files, and if I try
to export AIFF, as long as i don't click the options,
it won't crash, but it won't complete either...

Hmm, I thought I had made it clear that the source originated
as a 2hour DV capture in iMovie?
When did QT abandon the Export to MPeg-2 feature?
Had to be after 7.04?
I did not have this feature in 6.0, 6.52,
and began to use it on and off in QT 7.01 and 7.02,
when I don't have the time/inclination to
setup a Batch and run it overnight in Compressor 1.2.1.
But we are digressing, because although that might
be a "fix" for the exporting to make compatible assets
for DVD Studio Pro, that still doesn't address
the issues with why just the audio drops out
(flatlines) after 55 minutes, or why exporting directly
to AIFF through QT causes every QT related app
(iMovie, FCP) to crash?

I plan on removing these, in groups of five, starting with the oldest to newest, and seeing if one of these might be the culprit. Any other input would be appreciated....

Any use of Quicktime causes a "Quicktime needs to update" window.

I have been a longtime user. Anything that even triggers quick time player through plugin, Itunes, or other ways seems to make it say that it is outdated and needs to run an update. It has been doing that for nearly 2 months or more by now. And it seems to occur whenever I am on the internet. I use Firefox and I also use Opera on my other computer. On both ends when I go to a page that plays sound or opens a TIFF image I get the update window.
Can I please have this looked into. I am often rather nervous when everthing isn't working as it should. It it likely a good idea to remove and reinstall?

Hiya. Usually the misplaced old QuickTime componentry that causes this issue (that we found off in the other thread) is installed by a different program (than QuickTime itself). Video converters, codec packs or some media players that that allow you to play quicktime content without installing "QuickTime proper" are the usual culprits. But older games and whatnot might do this sort of thing too.
Can you recall if this started happening immediately after installing something like that a couple of months ago?

HELP!!! Quicktime Pro crashes when exporting

I've had no problems until today. All of a sudden, when I export a movie from quicktime, it crashes when I click on "settings" of the codec. So I basically open the file, go to "File>Export" and click on "Options". I then click on "Settings" and boom...quicktime disappears with your usual windows error sound. Like I said, I've had no problems up till today so I don't know what I could of done to cause this. I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.2 on Windows XP Pro 64bit. I've tried uninstalling it and tried older versions...nothing seems to work. My Sorenson Squeeze software also will not load quicktimes which I believe is related to this problem. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you are having the same problem but I'm glad its just not me. I seriously don't know what I could have done to cause this. Some sort of bug or virus going around? I've heard of quicktime being hacked in the past by a worm which causes it to crash so I'm wondering if that's what's happening. It does suck you can't really call Apple about it.
Its becoming increasingly difficult these days to talk to a human about technical issues. If you do get one on the phone, its some support person getting paid min. wage who just puts you on hold forever as they look up your problem in a generic list of "help" files. I don't want knowledge base support...I want one on one support with a trained programmer who knows how to fix your problems!

IMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime

iMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime. Some people have posted that this problem disappeared when they upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. However, I am running Mt.Lion and it still happens. If there is no fix for this bug, does anyone know a workaround that will produce the same ultimate result..namely, a Quicktime movie that is not too large to attach to emails. Apple, please fix this. Thank you.

Update after two Apple iApps specialists spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me: There are 3 "poison pills" (that we know of) that will cause the crash if any of the three is part of the movie: Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or a circle open/close transition. Otherwise, no crash. The specialist made a movie on his own computer, containing the poison pills, but he exported to Quicktime without a crash. There is at least one report in the threads of a problem like mine. Thus, some Gremlin is causing this, in some computers. The iApps specialist was curioius to know whether a lot of people have this problem, or only a few. (If a lot, then it is worth submitting to the engineers to fix.) He said if you have this problem, call Apple. I asked if such people should post a "Me too!" on this thread. He said no, better to call Apple and report it. So that's the story. I can live without those poison pills in my export-to-quicktime movies. I am just a consumer, not a pro, and I can live with it. But it would be nice if Apple could fix this.

How do I export when FCP keeps crashing for large QuickTime exports?

Forum,
I have a 108-minute finished Final Cut Pro project. Ultimately, I'd like to burn it on a DVD so that it can be watched by any Joe-Schmoe using an ordinary DVD player. I'll be using DVD Studio Pro to do the burning. And before this, I plan to compress using Apple Compressor.
But...
I can't export this file to QuickTime! FCP keeps CRASHING about halfway through the process. I'm preserving the Current Settings, which, by the way, are XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR.
I have four internal hard drives used as follows:
D1 OSX and FCP
D2 audio media
D3 visual media
D4 location of FCP files and scratch disk
I also have a MyBook USB2.0 external drive available should this be of use.
Any suggestions for a viable workflow here? Should I be exporting to QuickTime first? Is my configuration doomed? Should I export straight to Compressor?
thanks,
Shanked

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT your suggested software?
Sure, but its very manual and the Corrupt Clip Finder really just automates that for you ... but I get your point about keeping things clean and can't fault that philosophy.
First, you can use the Tools > Render Manager to delete all the sequence's render files and references. Then just play through the entire sequence (in the sequence RT menu you can enable the option to Play Base Layer Only). If the corruption was in one of the render files then you should now be able to play through without issue. If the corruption is in one of the clips then you should discover that FCP will crash or throw up an error when it tries to play though that clip ... keep a note of where this error occurs as thats your corrupt clip. Similarly, after trashing renders you can re-render, keep an eye on the render progress ... the error will be thrown proportionate to the area of the timeline where the corrupt source clip is contained. Additionally, yes, you can use the Reconnect Media function to selectively reconnect your source media to your masterclips, clip by clip ... the one that won't reconnect is going to be the problem child. That's the one you need to recapture/reimport from source.
Hope it helps

Final Cut Crashes on any EXPORT

Turned on the computer today and needed to Export some projects through Compressor. About 2 minutes into the encoding Final Cut "Quit Unexpectedly".
Tried several times with the same results. Final Cut also Quits when I export to "Quicktime Movie" & export 'Audio to AIFF'.
I trashed the preferences & repaired my disk permissions through disk utility. Still doesn't work.
I can however, edit just fine. No crashes there. Only when Exporting.
I should mention im working on the latest version of FCPS2 & OSX.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thx.
Mike A.

You have pretty much the same set-up as us except we're one OSX 10.5.3
What video codec are your source files? and where you converting while exporting?
We've been using HDV 1080p and have tried export using quicktime conversion as well as a straight forward export all with no luck. Also tried deleting render files and re-rendering and still had no luck. The only work around we found was to take the footage into After Effects using Automatic Duck and then render it out from there...

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

Export to Quicktime movie continued crashes. HELP

I have sequence, it renders no problem. Whenever I go to export to Quicktime movie it crashes. I have gone and deleted all files associated with it and redone the sequence from scratch, and I keep getting the same results. Crash while exporting. I am working in DV, so all I do at export is export to Quicktime movie, which means it should be exporting as a DV movie. I am not sure what is wrong please help.
As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,
Sebastian

I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

Exporting to WMV causes Premiere Pro to crash

Hi there all,
Was wondering if you could help me here. When i export to WMV PP crashes. Now I thought i could get around this by rendering it as another file type and then using Adobe Media Encoder to code it to WMV... BUT! when i did this Adobe Media Encoder only gave me 1/2 my video!!! It too crashed!!! :-( . The video site that my work uploads to only accepts wmv unfortunatly
please help

Exporting from FCP to Compressor, FCP causes crashes

When I export a particular FCP sequence to Compressor (with the intention of then moving on to DVD Studio Pro with the resultant compressed video and audio file)on first gesture to export I receive a message saying one render file is missing. However, when I was in FCP before launching Compressor, the sequence showed nothing that needed rendering. When I "render both" from the sequence menu, there is nothing to render. When I watch the sequence in FCP it views perfectly. Then I export using compressor. I receive the message that a render file is missing. I tell the system to continue without this one render file since I have no evidence that the file is missing. I then set off the compressor work, and it grinds away. Ultimately sometime in the two plus hour processing period (the sequence is 8 minutes long) FCP generates an error and Compressor aborts its work, blaming FCP. Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it? Please let me know if you need further info. As always, I am up against a deadline with this final output. The behavior is one I have never seen before in the four years I have been using this software. Thanks in advance.

Do you have motion files on the time line - a Google search shows posts about this problem:
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1013775
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1460437
I would export a Quicktime Movie from your timeline File > Export > Quicktime Movie using current settings, then take that exported Quicktime Movie into compressor as opposed to trying to go direct from the FCP timeline.
Also, is you timeline fully rendered? Have you placed a checkmark on every Render condition -

and then clicked on the timeline, typed Command + A to select all then Command + R to render the whole timeline?
Hope this helps.

Keynote export to Quicktime fails with any animation

I'm making recordings of Keynote slideshows, and I keep running into the same problem: any time I include an animation, of any sort, the export to Quicktime fails. Any advice?
Specifically, regardless of the format (whether it's an animated GIF, a Quicktime movie, or ???), I have the animation set to begin immediately, on transition. I can see it animating while I'm talking. When I export it to Quicktime, my voice continues, but Keynote remains stuck on the first frame. Sometimes it does animate a little bit, toward the end of the time that I'm on the slide, but regardless, voice and video sync are way, way off for the rest of the movie.
Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? I've seen one person be advised to export using fixed timing, but that's not an option for me: the amount of time I spend on the different slides varies quite a bit.

Yeah, it's pretty simple- with your keynote slideshow open, just open quicktime player, go to "file" then "new screen recording". A little box will open with a record button. Press record, and then play your slideshow in keynote from the beginning. You will have to wait and let it record in real time. After it is done, it will prompt you to save it as a quicktime movie. Then you just have to open iMovie, click "import" and then select the quicktime movie you just made. Then click the musical note button on the lower right, select the mp3 of the VO track or music that you want to use, and drag that onto the timeline. You should right-click and select "detach audio" so you can move it around and get the timing you need. Then just "finalize project" and you're done! Easy-peezie.
And I have no idea about future keynote updates...overall it's a nice program but the exporting problems definitely need to be addressed.

Keynote 08 will not finish export to quicktime, or share with any apps

I have a presentation that I am using a smartbuild (160 photos) that will not finish exporting to quicktime, or share with youtube or iweb/idvd, etc. It saved once out of twenty attempts. It freezes up around the last photo in the smartbuild then quits unexpectedly. Any tips?

The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

Quicktime pro crashes on all three of my computers_Help!

I produce video using Premiere pro. I just bought QT pro 7 and the mpeg2 plugin. I am trying to export ipod compatible files and other MP4 files.
No matter what I try the success rate is extrely limited. I have manged 1 or 2 files to export sucessfuly and they look great, but were talking about 1 or 2% of the time.
Where do I start?
First I very often get this buffer overrun detected message. Other times, especially with dvavi it crashes as soon as it tries to open it. Other times it gets about half way thorugh and freezes or shows some error message.
I have played with this for about 15 hours and am getting just a little frustrated.
I have tried every imaginable combination. I have tried converring DVAVI, M2V, Mpeg2, QT exported from PPRO. You name it. I have also adjusted every possible setting in QT
I thought maybe the files were too large, so I chopped them up getting down to as little as 6 minutes and still the crash.
Is this program normally stable? If it is a computer problem why is it happening on all three of my computers. Even my 3.2ghz computer crashes every time. it is the worst of all.
Any suggestions?

Before you can export you must first be able to play the file without issue using the QuickTime Player. If it can't play it can't export.
QuickTime doesn't (can't) export audio from muxed files (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) so you'll need other software for those files.
Export from your Windows Premiere software to DV Stream. This is a large file size but compatible with QT Pro. These will export to .m4v formats (and others) to use on your iPod.
