Audio, but no video when compressing FCPX files

I am trying to compress a 4-minute video for use on YouTube. I send the edited video from FCPX to Compressor 4 and have used several of the preset settings (H.264 for Video Podcasting and HD 720p Video Sharing). In both cases, the .mov file has audio, but no video. When I use the Export Media option to export the raw .mov file, there is video and audio. Any idea why this is happening? What are the best settings to use for YouTube? When I send it straight to YouTube via FCPX (by logging into my YouTube account), everything works fine. But I need a separate .mov file to send around elsewhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing Warwick is correct.
One other thought: if you have an "Export Media" option, your version of FCPX is not current and should be updated. Afterwards, Id suggest running repair permissions in Disk Utility.

My experience is the 720p YT and Vimeo presets are fine for uploading. If your project is 1080p, you'll have that option as well.
By send around elsewhere, the usual tradeoffs between quality and file size apply. Usually h.264 – either Quick Time or MP4 at the original resolution and frame rate – provides the best tradeoff. That is, unless someone is going to be showing it in a movie theater.
Good luck.

FLVPlayback audio but no video when streaming

I have a flash program that loads an external flv dynamically. I first create an empty movie clip then I attach an instance of the FLVPlayback component using Moviclip.attachMovie();. Then i control the FLVPlayback component with AS2. I have a play and pause button, a scrubber, and a loading progress bar. None of these are components. When I publish and preview the file in Flash CS4, Adobe Flash Player 10, and all my internet browsers everything works fine, all the buttons, the multiple functions of the scrubber, and even the loading progress bar. However when I uploaded all the files from my computer to my company's server and tested it from there, I recieved audio but no video. All of the various controls still worked for the audio but I couldn't see anything on the stage. If I waited for the loading progress bar to complete and then reloaded the external flv then I got video, but the purpose of this program is to stream the video and I cannot have the users waiting for a preloader. Please help me to get my video to show and not just my audio.
If you want to look at my FLVPlayback code here it is:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lesson_mc",-16381);
lesson_mc.attachMovie("FLVPlayback","lesson_video",0);
lesson_mc.lesson_video.contentPath = page.attributes.url;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoSize = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoRewind = false;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoPlay = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.bufferTime = 20;

I don't know what cross-domain issues are, but i had double checked my flv's path/file name and since reading your post have checked it again.
Heres the thing though, I can still get video, so it can't be these problems. I previously wrote this:

But I can't get it before it finishes loading. I want to stream it.

I get audio but no video when trying to AirPlay from iPad to apple t.v.

I tried to play from CCTV app to Apple TV I only get audio when I it the airplay button it tells me to double click home button and swipe left select mirror button but that is not there. When I try to play normal movie already on my iPad it works no prob.

Yes, but if the icon is there, then it's been enabled, right? So if you're getting audio and not video, it's enabled, but not working properly. I have enabled apps, and they barely even get chunks of audio. Useless...

Audio but no Video when using MediaPlayer object

I'm attempting to get a simple OSMF Player to play an FLV using the MediaPlayer object. Audio is played, but no video is shown.
I've adapted the example code from the AS3 Reference docs for MediaPlayer. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/org/osmf/media/MediaPla yer.html (MediaPlayerExample.as) I've altered the code slightly to play an FLV in accordance with the Plugin developer documentation (OSMF_plugin_dev_guide.pdf - p.3 provides example player code where URLResource & MediaFactory are used together to load MediaPlayer with an FLV)
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
     import org.osmf.media.DefaultMediaFactory;
     import org.osmf.media.MediaFactory;
    import org.osmf.containers.MediaContainer;
    import org.osmf.elements.AudioElement;
    import org.osmf.events.TimeEvent;
    import org.osmf.media.MediaPlayer;
    import org.osmf.media.URLResource;
    public class MediaPlayerExample extends Sprite
        private var mediaPlayer:MediaPlayer;
        public function MediaPlayerExample()
            super();
            mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
            var factory:MediaFactory = new DefaultMediaFactory;
            var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/strobe/content/test/AFaerysTale_sylviaApostol_640_500_short.flv");
            mediaPlayer.volume = .5;
            mediaPlayer.loop = true;
            mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE, onTimeUpdated);
            mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.DURATION_CHANGE, onTimeUpdated);
            mediaPlayer.autoPlay = true;
            mediaPlayer.media = factory.createMediaElement(resource);
        private function onTimeUpdated(event:TimeEvent):void
            trace('time: ' + mediaPlayer.currentTime + ' duration: ' + mediaPlayer.duration);
This code compiles and runs, but no video is shown - only audio. Why won't this play video?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

For legacy reasons, we need to support MediaPlayer, so MediaPlayerSprite isn't an option. (even though simple replacement of MediaPlayer w/ MediaPlayerSprite does play the video in this example)
Hmm. Passing a VideoElement doesn't seem to play audio or video:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
     import org.osmf.elements.VideoElement;
     import org.osmf.media.DefaultMediaFactory;
     import org.osmf.media.MediaFactory;
    import org.osmf.containers.MediaContainer;
    import org.osmf.elements.AudioElement;
    import org.osmf.events.TimeEvent;
    import org.osmf.media.MediaPlayer;
    import org.osmf.media.URLResource;
    public class MediaPlayerExample extends Sprite
        private var mediaPlayer:MediaPlayer;
        public function MediaPlayerExample()
            super();
            mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
            var factory:MediaFactory = new DefaultMediaFactory;
            var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/strobe/content/test/AFaerysTale_sylviaApostol_640_500_short.f lv");
               var vid:VideoElement = new VideoElement();
               vid.resource = new URLResource("http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/strobe/content/test/AFaerysTale_sylviaApostol_640_500_short.f lv");
            mediaPlayer.volume = .5;
            mediaPlayer.loop = true;
            mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.CURRENT_TIME_CHANGE, onTimeUpdated);
            mediaPlayer.addEventListener(TimeEvent.DURATION_CHANGE, onTimeUpdated);
            mediaPlayer.autoPlay = true;
            //mediaPlayer.media = factory.createMediaElement(resource);
               mediaPlayer.media = vid;
        private function onTimeUpdated(event:TimeEvent):void
            trace('time: ' + mediaPlayer.currentTime + ' duration: ' + mediaPlayer.duration);

Blu Ray Burned in Encore CS4 play audio but no video

I've burned this project multiple times and everytime I get the menus and the audio, but no video when played on a Blu Ray player. The same disc plays fine in computer/laptop. And when I tried a shorter version of the project (10 minutes vs. an hour and a half for the original) it plays fine everywhere. Could the file size be causing my disc not to play in a BD-R player? Then why would it play on a computer/laptop?

Why can't I get video when watching wmv files. I get audio but no video. And yes, I've loaded the latest version of flip4mac.

When I try to play a wmv file on my Mac I get the audio but no video. I've downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac but that doesn't seem to help. I recently "upgraded" to Lion. Any connection?? Any ideas??? I posted this a week or so ago and was told to download the latest version of Flip4Mac. Let me repeat: I've already downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac and it doesn't seem to help.

So did you download the latest flip4mac? (just kidding)
Does this happen with all wmv's or just specific wmv files?
Try playing them with vlc to see if they play there.

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

Audio but no video on .mov files

I'm trying to watch a tutorial disc (working with Ableton Live). The video files are .mov, the disc comes with the install for Quicktime 7.03. I have Quicktime Pro 7.12. When I try to play the video files, I get audio but no video.
When I try to play the files in VLC Player, I get video but an audio error (and no audio)...
Anyone familiar with this issue (I've searched the forums and found similar issues, but nothing the same as this...)?

Nothing about Sorenson 3 (video track) AAC (audio) or Apple BMP (image format layer) that would keep the file from playing on your machine.
Do you open these .mov files directly from the CD (double click) or is there some app that is used from the CD to play them?
Try a double click and test the files while logged in under a different user account.

Audio but no video for .mov file.

For Windows XP (Home Edition 5.1.26700 Service Pack 3 Build 2600):
My QuickTime Player 7.6.6 shows a window but the window is empty only the audio is present.
The same or similar is the case in VLC, RealPlayer, and DivX Player.
Additional information from my Mac OS X:
- The .mov file plays perfectly on my iMac in my QuickTime Player 10.0(114).
- Cmd-I reports for the .mov file: codecs: H264,AAC.
- The file is produced by AddMovie version 1.8.6 from a .flv file and the developer states:
’AddMovie uses Mac OS technology "out of the box" so to speak. In other words all it does is call system functions that in turn call the codecs installed on your system to do their job. I don't write any codecs (i.e. compressor/decompressors - i.e. exporters/importers) - other third party developers do that. So, getting the output of AddMovie to be compliant for other software depends on your choice of these third party add-ons, and the selection of them in the preferences window.‘
- Perian 1.2.1 and Flip4Mac 2.3.4.1 are installed.
- VLC version 1.1.2 is installed and it plays the .mov file with audio but no video like QuickTime Player in Windows.

Thanks again, QuickTimeKirk.
I think the audio rate was to blame. I changed the audio format in QuickTime Player 7 Pro from (I think) Linear PCM to AAC and the kbps number from the default value 128 to 64. Then I changed the mark for the video rate from automatic to the option of setting a limit and set a suitable limit. That way I was able to control the total kbit/second rate for the exported .mov file so that it got a reasonable size.
When I compare the source .flv file with the produced .mov file for the case when they have about the same total kbit/second rate, I can see that the .mov file is smoother or has less detail than the .flv file although the difference is not big. Increasing the video rate limit in QuickTime Player 7 Pro causes a bigger .mov file with better quality to be produced.

...Here you can see "TV OUT", where it says "widescreen" make sure is ON.
I have my iPad Video set to "widescreen", but it didn't make a difference when I briefly tried it with a HDMI connection from my iPad2 to my Samsung TV. The video was letterboxed as was the iPad homepage when it was displayed on my big TV.
I didn't try a streaming video so I don't know if that would be letterboxed or not. I do have a movie on my iPad and I'll give it a try (perhaps tomorrow). If it isn't letterboxed, I'll post it here.
Overall (at least via HDMI), I was very unimpressed with the process. The picture seemed washed out and the resolution certainly suffered. I don't remember what my test video was, but the results were what one would expect with a SD signal. At this moment I don't see any serious usage of this process for me.

Audio but no Video on a Quicktime ".mov" file

I captured a clip from my video camera, which is HDV 1080i60, using Final Cut Pro HD. I can play my video clip on my G5 , in Quicktime, but when I try to play the video on my MacBook Pro I get a white screen and just the audio plays. I tried importing the clip into iMovie HD on the laptop and get the same results... audio but no video.
I tried downloading and re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2, and NOTHING! Same thing still happens!
Any help would bre GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Ezi

Tried what you mentioned in the last post. I checked the Quicktime folder in both machines and they match exactly.
As an experiment, I tried copying the contents of the Quicktime folder of the G5 to the MacBook pro after re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2 again... and NOTHING! Still get just a blank white screen and audio.
When I do the "Get info" from Quicktime, it tells me the format is: HDV 1080i60
I really thought copying the contents, ALL the contents, was really going to do it! I'm losing my mind at this point!
Again, thank you so much for the help... In the meantime, I will endeavor to persevere!

Use a different browser?
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
Even if it's just to redownload the driver. I recommend another browser.

Audio, but no video on Kindle Fire?

Hello,
We have an application that streams video over the rtmpe protocol (also tried just rtmp) using a flash video object for display (flash.media.Video). The video plays fine on the Nook Tablet and the Blackberry Playbook. However, when run on an Amazon Kindle Fire we get audio, but no video shows. We tried setting video.opaqueBackground = 0xffffff; to make sure the video was even loading, and we do see a white background, but as soon as the video begins to play (we hear audio), the video object goes black and we don't see any video.
Anyone run into this?

It's been quite a while since you asked, so I'm checking in.
What version (of everything) are you using?
Have a sample I could try?
