Cannot export a Motion JPEG A quicktime

I'm working with FCP v 6.0.2 and Compressor v3.0.2. I am unable to export quicktimes in the MJPEGA codec. I currently have verison 7.4.1 of quicktime. Is this something new to v7.4?

Hi There
I have this exact same problem now I have updated my final cut to the latest version hoping that it would fix some bugs, instead creating new ones. As you seem to have fixed it, would you mind letting me know how its possible to get back the export to motion jpeg A within final cut?
Thanks in advance

Cannot export slow motion w/o ghost images

Hello everyone,
The home movies and video works in my computer look exactly as I want them to and they export to QuickTime perfectly in "DV Full Quality." My problem is that the movies export both to the camera and to the DVD burner with awful ghost imagery in the slow motion clips. With my earlier version of iMovie, the slow motion rendered just fine to the camera, so I could at least create VHS tapes to share with family and friends. Now the movies export with the jittery ghost images. Color and sound are fine, it's just the slow motion that creates a problem. I'm so frustrated cuz I upgraded to solve the problem and I feel like my works are "trapped" in my computer--I just want to send videos and DVDs to family! IF I upgrade (again) to a new computer (G5?) or the latest Toast, will this solve the problem? Is there anything that can be done? Please know that I am a novice in computer language and need to be spoken to like a small, small child... Sorry for the length of this complaint and THANK YOU for any help!

Hello Bengt!
Well, as it turns out, I don't have iDVD (or whatever it is I need to activate iDVD in iMovie...), but, as I was trying to find it, up popped the prompt I was looking for and had tried to find in the iMovie "help" thingie -- "you have some slow motion clips that need to be rendered, ..." and my problems are now solved!
So, I couldn't follow your advice exactly, but, because I tried, the solution presented itself unexpectedly.
Thank you, thank you! I don't have to buy a new computer (today)

Cannot export using motion

I am trying to export a clip i just created in motion but it will not work. I click on export but the window that is supposed to pop up doesnt show up. what do i do? i really need this clip exported a.s.a.p. Is there any other way to get this clip to a video file?

You've got a deadline and you're using software that you have no idea how to use?
Open the folder containing your Motion project. Open Final Cut Pro. Pick up the Motion project with your mouse. Drag it into Final Cut Pro's browser window. Use it like any other movie.

Encode Motion JPEG Quicktimes with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

I know this is a common question, but I couldn't find a definitive answer that makes sense with what I'm seeing on my computer. I'm trying to make Motion JPEG A Quicktimes (in Compressor or QuickTime Pro) but that codec is not an option in my menus. I've read that the solution is to activate "legacy encoders" in the Quicktime System Pref, but on OS 10.6.2, there is no Quicktime System Pref pane. I have Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7.6.3. How do I make this work?

I don't know if you sorted this out yet, but thankfully it's quite simple. Open a Terminal window and enter the following, followed by the return key:
+qtdefaults write LegacyCodecsEnabled yes+
You should see the response:
+Legacy encoders have been enabled.+
They rid of the QT preference pane in 10.6, so this is the back door method to achieve the same end.

Motion Jpeg no longer an option on export

I have been using quicktime pro to convert tga image sequences into quicktimes. Our in house standard is Motion JPEG A, and I had been doing this for about two years. I now no longer have that as an output option? What happened? This is on all 3 of my machines, ver 7.4.1 on windows, ver 7.4.5 on windows, and ver 7.4.1 on a mac.
I also cannot choose motion jpeg as my export from Final Cut pro, but can choose it as my timeline settings.
Any suggetions on how to get it back?

QuickTime System Preference pane / Advanced tab.
Check the button to "Show legacy encoders".

How do I export from QT into "motion jpeg" / mjpeg?

Hello,
my digitale frame does only accept "motion jpeg" as a video format.
How do I export from QT?
I read in various notes in the Web, that QT does support MJPEG-A and MJPEG-B
Please advise

You need to get Quicktime Pro...and pick Motion Jpeg from the export drop down menu.

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP 7.
I exported (with current settings) from Motion 5 now i can't view my movie with QT Player an FCP
won't recognize it.
That's the message I get ?
I'm running Mac OSX but still on FCP 7 (upgrading to FCP X is NOT an option)
Thanks a lot for any sugestions

Thanks TOny
i think it was just a problem during the export. i tried a second time and it just worked fine

Cannot Export JPEG still picture from MPEG

I am trying to use Quicktime Pro 7.1.3 to export a still picture (in JPEG format) from an MPEG video, but this is not working. I followed the directions in the QTPro User Guide: I play and then pause the video once it reaches the desired frame. Then I select FILE->EXPORT and in the "Export" selection box, I select "Movie to Picture". Then I click on the "Options" button, and select the Compression Type of "Photo - JPEG". I must say I am puzzled as to why I then see a ".PCT" extension added to the filename. Also, I don't understand why, in the "Save as" selection field, there is no selection for "JPEG" file extension, and instead there is but a single type available which is called "All Files (.)". It makes me think I am not understanding how to use this function. After I click on the "Save" button, a small popup windows appears, and it shows that a file is written. When I try to open that file (on my local hard drive) with my Firefox browser, I get a plain text message in my Firefox screen which merely names the file. I also tried specifying other compression formats under "Export to Picture", and also tried using Firefox and other programs to open the files written by this Export operation, all without success.
If I use s different Export operation (Export to BMP instead of Export to Picture), I can get a usable BMP, and I can use another tool to convert this BMP to a JPEG, but the resulting JPEG is only a little over 30k in size, and I believe I am getting a lot lower picture quality than what I might get if QTP could directly Export to a JPEG.
Here is some info on my environment: I am running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. Hardware is a Dell Pentium 4 with 2.8GHz cpu, 512MB ram, and over 50GB of free space on the hard drive. I just installed QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 today (and I have already tried de-installing it, and re-installing it, and this did not help).
Am I mis-understanding the instructions in the User Guide? Can anyone suggest how I can get QTP to Export a still image from an MPEG video directly to a JPEG file? Thanks!

QT Pro does not export to jpeg or other image formats. Instead, the picture export (Movie to Picture) creates a PICT format file which contains the frame in the specified compression inside the PICT file. PICT is thus a container file format which can contain image in many different compression formats. If you need an actual jpeg format file you will have to export to one of the uncompressed formats and then use some other graphic utility to convert that file to jpeg format.
Alternately, you can use QT Pro to Copy (Edit menu) the frame to the clip board and then a graphic application to import that frame from the clip board and export it in jpeg format.

Trying to export as a JPEG 2000 but very jumpy when I view it in quicktime. Is this just because the player doesn't support JPEG2000?

Trying to export as a JPEG 2000 but very jumpy when I view it in quicktime. Is this just because the player doesn't support JPEG2000?

JPEG2000 for a digital projector? The option you see in Compressor, or the QT export is NOT the format they need. You can only make that with special software. I had that asked of me to deliver, I tried using Compressor and the JPEG2000 codec...and it wasn't right. Ended up sending it out of house.

Motion Lines on Quicktime Export

When exporting my sequence to a quicktime file, I get horizontal digital lines on motion within the footage. When viewing it from Final cut it looks fine (both on computer and on the external monitor) but when I create a Quicktime File (both using the Export to Quicktime and Export using Quicktime Conversion option) this happens.
On a page wipe, for example, I see the image moving frame by frame in Final Cut, but if I look at it frame by frame on the quicktime file, I see the lines scrubbing across.
I tried exporting using all kinds of different settings.
Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do to fix it???

Use google and explore for several hours the topic of interlaced video. It's a truly complex issue and neither of you have provided enough information for us to do much more than ask you to learn more about video basics so you can post a question we can answer directly.
Know ahead of time that acquisition formats can be interlaced or progressive. Your editing format can be either. Your release format can be either. And the display or video monitor upon which you are viewing any of the above can be either interlaced or progressive. And sometimes it doesn't matter one way or the other because interlacing is actually a good thing, most of the time, because it smooths out horizontal movement relative to temporal motion.

HT3775 Is there any thing I can do about playing a video that's avi through QuickTime Player that isn't apparently a motion JPEG only?

I am trying to play a show that is avi but it wont play because it isn't a "motion JPEG". Is there anything I can do about this or any application I can get that will work better than QuickTime Player?

Thank you

I just reinstalled all my backgrounds and it seems like to work now.No explaination of what went wron (or what is wrong) as i am used to lightroom .May the fact that i am tweeking the layout (using the print layout) or the padding feature quite a bit but that's what the software is supposed to do.

Dropping Frames with Motion JPEGA Quicktime Files ...720X486

Hi All,
Some help if anyone knows. Heres my setup, Desktop G5 Dual 2.3 with 1 gig of Ram. I'm working with Quicktime media: Motion JPEGA Quicktime generated out of a Discreet Smoke NLE System. Whats happening is I'll start to play a relatively short clip, 30 seconds, and it will give me the dropped frame
warning.
First thing, is 1 GIG of Ram sufficient for these files? Or is this some kind
of preference setting? I did notice that the QT files had audio at 32 Bit
where the sequence settings only allow you to go to 16.
Any responses appreciated
thanks

Where are they stored? Firewire drives won't cut it at this compression...

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.

Keynote '08 cannot export as Quicktime movie

I purchased KN '08 to create presentations. It is updated to version 4.0.2. I have tried for the last 3 hours to export my presentation as a Quicktime movie. No matter what functions I turn off, or change, nothing seems to work. In fact, after the 3rd attempt, Keynote erased some photos out of my presentation. When I tried to re-add them, Keynote said it couldn't because I didn't have access to the file, or there was damage to the files. Luckily I had back-ups I could access.
Is there a way to make this work? Why would Apple put out a product like this that doesn't work?
Robby

ditto. I have not been able export any of my presentations. Also, I could not get the recording to work consistently and correctly. I can't even get my PowerMac G5 with 5 GB RAM to play the slide show correctly.
I found that the only work around is using Snapz Pro X while stepping through the the slide show. This creates a high quality QT movie.
Keynote is not the only problem. Quick Time does not work properly either. Some movies, even high def movies, play flawlessly and some I take at only 640 x 480 gives me a "strobing" (flashing of white). This has happened in movies added to Keynote, movies streamed through Safari, and even some movies played in Quick Time Pro itself.
I thought I had a lemon MacBook Pro, since I'm now on my third logic board/video card since I purchased last July, but I think it is also a software issue. I was hoping that Leopard would magically repair the problems with Quick Time, but it has not.
Any suggestions in how to fix this would be appreciated. Why does some QT play without a problem and others so nasty? What is the ideal settings for a QT export? What is ideal resolution for movies included in Keynote to play without "strobing"?
