Audio dropout in long quicktime movie

I have a long movie (8 hours) that I've compressed and exported in Final Cut Pro as a Quicktime movie. After the export I end up with a 2gb Quicktime file that plays in quicktime player. So far so good. The video part of the quicktime movie is great. But at around the 6 hour mark the audio cuts out completely. The video keeps playing fine, but no audio. I've tried 3 separate times now and each time the audio cuts out around 6 hours in.
What gives? Is there some maximum length in quicktime for audio or something?
Thanks,

Hi!
Can you tell us the bits rate, frame rate and other setting options that you have given for the Video and Audio during your hinting process.
thanks

Adjust audio BitRate for a Quicktime .MOV export

I am trying to export a >MOV file. Settings are Quicktime > H.264 codec. Everything looks and sounds fine, but I am uploading to a TV station and they are saying that the audio BitRate is too low. I can't seem to find anywhere to adjust the audio bitrate in the export settings. There is no option. Unlike when exporting a .Mpeg2 or other formats where it is an option. Any ideas?

Strange. I do not have the option. Are you using CC?

Audio missing from imported QuickTime Movie

I imported a mpeg off my cybershot. the audio is loud and clear in iPhoto and again when clicking to play the same file in QuickTime. I was trying to create a smaller file to email and post on the web - imported it to iMovie (iWeb suggests "use iMovie's QT web export settings to reduce file size"). But after importing file, there is no audio. Apple "Help Topics" suggest checking to see if the movie is MPEG Muxed 1 or 2. It in fact is, but there is no further suggestion on how to overcome this problem of no audio in iMovie/QT.
Please help! Thanks!

Hello-
I am trying to download the MPEG Streamclip because I am having the same exact issue as the above poster but when I try to open the download it says that Safari can't open because there is no available application. I'm sure that this is basic but I can't figure it out. Can you please walk me through how to complete this process and convert the files??
Thank you.

Copy Audio off of a QuickTime Movie

Is there any software out there for Macs that will capture the audio from a QT movie and convert it to mp3 format?
Thanks,
Jim

You can do this easily if you purchase Quicktime Pro.

Adding audio to a Quicktime movie (after the fact)

It's been so long since I've done this, can't remember how. And for some reason my Quicktime Player (Pro) help is completely zats, won't work.
Could someone remind me the 1,2,3 to add an audio track to a Quicktime movie? I'm actually wanting to strip the existing audio, and replace it with an audio done in Logic - much lower bitrate, but still very good quality.
All ears,
Ben

No problem.
On the Windows side of things, my help isn't working well either at the moment. Getting a bunch of page not found errors. I think the furniture might have been moved round on the Apple Website, and someone forgot to warn the QuickTime help.
(I'm not entirely sure how the QuickTime help works on the Mac side of things, so I'm not sure how relevant that is to your troubles, though ... can anyone else get their QuickTime help to work at the moment?)

Audio mangled when outputting to uncompressed QuickTime movie.

I'm trying to export video and audio to an uncompressed QuickTime movie. (8-bit video, 48KHz Linear PCM audio). I'm having problems with the audio. My music tracks are coming out fine, but the voiceover track is messed up. It's there, but the volume jumps from barely audible to normal volume to back again about once a second. When I play it in Final Cut Pro, it sounds fine.
Same results whether I output via Compressor or directly from Final Cut Pro (version 5.1.4).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The problem turned out to be a very strange one. This is a project that I haven't opened in over a year; in that time, I've switched Macs, going from PowerPC to Intel. Turns out there were filters applied to all of the dialogue tracks that were clipping them. Either:
1) those filters weren't there before, and they were mysteriously added due to some bug in FCPro
2) they were put there deliberately by me, but didn't used to behave in a way that clipped the dialogue.
2 seems more likely than 1. Removing those filters made it work.
Thanks.

Quicktime movie HD file I received won't play when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3, it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type?

Large, 5min long Quicktime .mov HD file I received says it's converting when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3 but then stops and tells me it's not a supported file type, a program I downloaded to try and convert the file type also told me the same thing.
Doesn't let me see a preview so I think the file is to blame.
I believe it's a faulty file as it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type but is there any way to be sure?
(Doesn't open in iTunes.)

Audio Dropouts on H.264 Quicktime movies playing from CD ROM or DVD ROM

I've been consistently having trouble getting H.264 .mov files saved on a CD-Rom or DVD-ROM to play back smoothly on Windows computers. The files will open, but there always seems to be sporadic audio dropouts, every 5-10 seconds the audio will drop out for half a second or so. This doesn't appear to be affecting the video.When the files are copied to the hard drive, the problem goes away, and the problem isn't present at all when playing back on Macs (regardless of whether the file is on a disc or on the HD).
I've read elsewhere on this forums that this is perhaps a data-rate problem, but this really doesn't make any sense to me, seeing as these are highly compressed, very small files (5 fps on the video, audio is AAC mono, 32kbps). Unless my understanding of data rate is completely backwards, a DVD Video or Audio CD would have a much higher data-rate. Seeing as Macs have no problem with this, I'm inclined to think it's some sort of problem with Windows' ability to handle AAC audio. If anyone has any experience with this, and/or ideas for a solution, I would greatly appreciate some feeback.
Thanks!

If the problem goes away when the file is copied to the hard drive, then the problem is almost certainly with the data transfer rate from the CD/DVD drive. If the problem were with Windows decoding H.264 and/or AAC, the problem would also appear for files copies to the hard drive. H.264 is a pretty data-intensive format, so it could easily exceed the available data rate of a CD or DVD. (note that file size will make no difference; it's the data rate, which comes from a combination o the image size of the video and the compression of the video and audio tracks) that's the only factor).
Run QuickTime Player, open one of the videos, and open the Movie Inspector for the movie (Window -> Show Movie Inspector). Then take a look at the data rate and compare that to the data rate of your CD/DVD drive. If the drive's rate is lower, you have your answer. If it shows that it should be able to handle the data rate, you may need to update or replace the drivers for your CD/DVD drive and/or update the drive's firmware.
Hope this helps.

Random audio dropouts from FCP 4 to Quicktime Movie

Never experienced this headache before, until today...
I've built my project as per usual in FCP4 - no problem. Then I exported project as Quicktime Movie for iDVD4 but I noticed that audio disappeared in two different sections - each portion of silence lasting a minute or so.
I went back to FCP and exported a new Quicktime Movie - almost the same result only audio disappeared in a different section for three minutes or so. Back to FCP and I built my project on a new timeline (Sequence) - same result when I exported to Quicktime but again, dropouts occur in different sections.
At present, I'm exporting each of the 10 Sequences that make up my project as separate Quicktime Movies and so far, I've completed 2 with no audio dropouts.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Export as QuickTime Movie - lose audio sync

I have a 10 minute project that basically is a sequence of 10 nested sequences. It is an HDV project. I need to export it as a QuickTime Movie to maintain the ability to show it in HD. When I do so (using Export->QuickTime Movie - I am not using "Using QuickTime Conversion"), I maintain "Current Settings". The resulting .mov file, when played back in QuickTime Player (or anything else) has a progressively severe loss of audio sync. This is not present when playing the project within the timeline in FCP (6.0.3).
I have tried opening the project on a different computer with a virgin version of FCP 6.0.3, with the same results. I also made sure to render the individual sequences as well as the master sequence. I created a new sequence and added the individual chapters again, with the same result. I tried using the Media Manager to bring the project over to another computer - same problem. I also took this to an Apple One-to-One class with a FCP expert who couldn't figure it out either.
I could really use some help here.

First of all, thank you for responding.
I don't have a capture delay. The audio rate is 48 khz.
Interestingly, I had previously tried the separate export and stitching you suggested, but a strange thing occurred. If the resulting quicktime movie was created through a Save As... command, you wind up with a self-contained movie. When I did that, I started to get weird audio repetitions or dropouts as the movie went on. On the other hand, if I left it a reference movie, this didn't happen.
Anyway, this is a workaround, but it means that the whole thing has to be done over every time I make any change at all, and I am also concerned about getting rid of this problem for the future.
Any other thoughts?

Missing Audio from Quicktime Movie Export

I've exported a Quicktime movie from FCP 6.0.4. It's an infomercial show so the call-to-action is a nested sequence on the main sequence timeline. When playing the Quicktime movie, the audio drops off in several 2 second bursts right in the middle of the show during the call-to-action. When played directly from the timeline, the audio is there fine. Early in the show, the same call-to-action nested sequence does NOT drop the audio.
I dragged the audio clip to a new track (one track above) and then re-rendered and re-output to a Quicktime movie. The same audio drop occurred in the same place again. I then marked an In/Out just for that small segment in the timeline and re-output again to Quicktime and the audio is fine.
My final Quicktime movie size is 150 GB (gigs) because it is full HD, uncompressed, 8-bit 4:2:2, and 28:30 long.
I've had a HORRIFIC experience the past 3 months just getting files to render properly and stay connected. It baffles me why Apple is working on SO many bells and whistles for FCP without having mastered their basic file management. It makes me want to check into AVID to see if they can at least give us the basics competently.
Thanks for any advice on this - I'm going to try to render out now in smaller segments and then patch together. Sad...

Make sure you do an audio mixdown. The manual explains the process.

Since upgrading to osx 10.9.5 the audio on my quicktime movies are now garbled. is there a fix?

since upgrading to osx 10.9.5 the audio on my quicktime movies are now garbled. is there a fix?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component. It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it. everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.
This info may help;

Also serch this forum for Mix Down you should find lots of info.

Audio file missing from MOV when exported as a quicktime movie.

Using Keynote 9, I imported video into presentation that was edited in iMovie 9. When I export the presentation to quicktime movie the audio is missing from the video file. The audio file plays fine in the standard keynote presentation mode.

This is STRICTLY a work around! Official fix will come from Apple as an update more than likely.
Duplicate item first (File > Duplicate). On newly duplicated project change file association type (File > get info). Under name and extension section take out .key). Close Get Info and save with removing .key. Double click to open the file (now a compression). Open uncompressed folder (same name as original file, now shows as a folder). Now in the Data folder find a .mov file named "Recording" with randomly generated letters and numbers behind it. Drag .mov file to desktop or any other directory. Open extracted .mov file with QuickTime to verify integrity. Save as audio file only. Get Info on file again and place .key value at end of file/extension for project. Open project. Under Play menu option delete the recording. Under Audio inspector drag the .mov of audio only to recording back in. Test play project to see if its accurate. Export to QuickTime and see if issue is resolved.
If issue persists:
Export with corrupted audio as QuickTime. Separate the audio from video track. Delete audio. Import the extracted .mov audio file. Share > File. Enjoy.
