Cannot export to .mov

Hello!
When I try to export to .mov, AME will load. When I click "Start Queue," the progress bar immediately successfully completes, and the encoding is marked complete. However, no file is generated is this split second. Does anyone have an idea on what might be wrong here? I'm not getting an error, but something is clearly not right. I'm using the default NTSC DV preset.
I can successfully export to .wmv and .avi. I've tried opening the .avi in AME and converting to .mov, but the same issue occurs.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
It sounds like you have not applied the latest CS4 updates.
If you have then please provide these details to help us help you.
Cheers

I cannot export my movies from iMovie since updating to Mavericks.

I cannot export my movies from iMovie since updating to Mavericks. I can get it into Theater then it says "Creating movie" but nothing happens. I can select share movie into a file, I can pick a name, resolution and location, but it doesn't save. I get the blue circle in the top right hand corner but nothing seems to happen. iMovie used to work perfectly, I cannot believe the update has ruined it!!!!

Cannot export to movie without media encoder!

Past workflow has involved exporting an avi to a watch folder. With CS4 I cannot export an avi without using the media encoder. I see no problem with using the encoder to do the work, but there are instances when I would want to export "same as source."
Pre-rendered elements
Export edited segments to other edit suites
Utilize a second computer system to do the encoding
Use other encoding software
It is much slower to export an avi using the media encoder rather than the export > movie route of the previous cs versions. For example, I edited a 3 minute video on cs4 and it took 11 minutes to export as an avi. It actually took even longer (up to 20) to use encore's transcode settings to encode for dvd.
I ran a test on cs2 with a 30 second spot. It took about 15 seconds to export the avi and another 15 seconds to encode as mpeg2 using a 3rd party encoder.
I have a project coming up that has an extremely tight deadline. I will be editing hour long programs and exporting them for dvd. If I am to use cs4 I will have all kinds of time problems, not to mention I can't do this on multiple computers for processing (1 for editing, 1 for encoding, 1 for authoring). Just to estimate: In CS2 it will take 1 hour to export and encode the video, and up to 7 hours to encode if I were to use cs4.
Are there any solutions to the mandatory media encoder process of cs4?

Media encoder sucks! It's slow and buggy. And it crashes 5 times at 10. The performance of Premiere CS4 on a top notch workstation is 60% slower than working with Premiere Pro 2. Media's batch feature is a failure unlike Premiere 5.5 - 6.0 ver (i think)
my dear Adobe
Why not try listening to pro users suggesting handy features and instead of getting so anxious eliminating your competitors (FCP) and launching buggy and expensive software? This ain't gonna last for long, you know!
I think if I simulate OS X and run FCP, will work faster than CS4 (have to test it)

I CANNOT export a movie in CS4, that was simple in CS3

Recently upgraded from CS3, and have run into an absolute brick wall - CS4 will not allow me to export a movie. It opens Media Encoder, and I run the queue, and after about 30 seconds it comes back with an error log saying "Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error" That is NOT a useful error message.
I have tried Quicktime with a number of different codecs, including "none", I have tried H264.
All I want is an uncompressed mov file that I can continue working with outside of Premiere / Adobe.
There are no blank portions in the video.

I have exactly the same problem. Premiere Pro CS4. MP4 files in a 19 minute movie. Tried to export as MPEG 2 DVD, .MOV .AVI .WMV. All failed in Adobe Media Encoder. Last test said Could not write XMP date to outputfile. AME shows the encoding running but then yellow warning triagle in the status box. I tried the keyframe suggestion, no difference. I have reinstalled CS4, no luck. Very fraustrating as the client expects their DVD tomorrow. Any ideas would be apprecited. I called Adobe and they had no idea.

Cannot Export to .mov - Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I've been having this problem for a while and I cannot find a soultion for it. When I try to export a sequence as Quicktime (.mov), the Adobe Media Encoder opens but what I was trying to export does not appear in the render queue. It's completely empty. I also have After Effects CS4 and I can export to Quicktime fine there.
Any ideas what might be causing the export to not appear in the render queue?
Thanks.

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.

Imovie 11 says that i cannot export my movie because lack of storage and i have 26gb free

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Try the failed operation again.

You cannot export the request at the movement -while releasing the request

Hi.. Experts
Today, we had message from our functional consultant that When he is trying to release the TRANSPORT REQUEST (not tasks) he is getting the error " You cannot export the request at the movement "
After 2 / 3 hours, we discovered file exists in Transport Profiel directory
" /usr/sap/trans/bin" directory Fine Name : T_OFF.ALL
After removing that file - The request releasing were happening normally.
In this juncture, Even though the issue is fixed ,
We would like to learn how this file got created and which transactions / which configurations will create this T_OFF.ALL file and stops all Transport releases
Thanks in advance
Rgds
PR

This file T_OFF.ALL has to be created manually in the bin directory to basically stop release of any transport request from all systems. No transaction creates it .
Please go through the links to get more info on this mechanism.

Cannot export movie files from iPhoto 11 (9.5)

Hi. Am not able to export movies from iPhoto 11. I leave the type as Original and get an error - see screenshot. Running on Mavericks and up-to-date iPhoto. Have tried to export to multiple places so hard drive space, etc. isn't the problem. Can export 32,000+ photos just fine but all the movies are erroring out.
Any ideas, and thanks for the help.

Having the same problem.
Upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5, and now getting this, every single time.
Happens with both Original and Current exports. The failed files are all point to the Previews location. I checked the first few, which do exist, but are 0KB big. However their master file location is fine.
This ends up leaving 120GB out of my 170GB collection of 1533 photos/videos.
Incredibly frustrating! iPhoto is useless to me now, and I have no way to get my photos out of it.
Here's the exact feedback I sent apple:
I'm experiencing this issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5478191?tstart=0
Since upgrading to Mavericks and getting the latest iPhoto version. I cannot export my entire photo collection (using original, and current settings).
It always fails with about 120GB of my 170GB collection left. The missing files are videos that iPhoto is trying to copy over the preview location, rather than the master location it seems. The discussion thread has more information.

[Error 333] Cannot export movie at all

Hi All,
I have created a new movie using iMovie 8.5 (latest version included in iLife 09).
Unfortunately, when I try to export my first project, after few minutes of processing (the blu progress bar fully completes the process) it gives me an error saying that is Imposssible to export the movie, error 333.
I have not registered yet my iLife, could be that one the reason or could be something else?
To me is so weird, if was the registration it should have been said before..
Thanks a lot
Daniel

Hello,
Are you having a similar problem as this?:
CIRCUMSTANCES:
I have the most recent version of OSX and of FCPX and yet I cannot export or "Share" my timeline's Project.
I have the simplest project (a sequence of small video clips with no effects at all) and the program does not let me "share" anything.
I have been using FCPX since the first week it came out; it's not like I'm completely lost (I have already done many jobs).
DOUBT:
WHY ARE ALL THE SHARE* OPTIONS INACTIVE?
*Either selecting the Project from the browser or clicking directly on the Timeline, the Share options I'm referring to are found on File > Share > ....
ANSWER:
If your Sequence contains one single Clip which was not well imported from the camera, FCPX will not let you "Share" (Export) the Project at all (The timeline's sequence). FCPX is probably wanting to alert you by means of a yellow triangle on the Event's icon, right at the corresponding missbehaving Event. Click on that Event, scroll down through all your clips on the Browser and you will most probably find a clip with the same yellow triangle with exclamation mark.
In order to detect the wrong clip (or clips) on the timeline, you shall click on the timeline you are not able to export (that is, to "Share") and, once you have clicked on the timeline itself, open your "Timeline Index" ( which shortcut is: shift cmd 2 ).
Once in the Timeline Index, click on "Clips" (upper left, under the small search window) and also click on Video (at the bottom of the whole Timeline Index box).
Now you have the whole list of all your clips which are used in the Timeline. Scroll down until you find all the marked clips (they are all marked with the same yellow triangle with an exclamation mark). Eliminate them from either the Timeline Index or directly from the timeline if you want to export anything.
I hope this was helpful to anyone with erroneously imported clips or any misbehaving imported media.

I cannot rotate + export a movie! Save first necessary?

I have a DigiCam movie which is in landscape format.
So I load it into QT Pro, rotated it and shrinked it.
Finally I tried to export the new movie.
But it does not work. The created movie has always a size of 2 Kb.
Do I have to save the rotated and shrinked movie first (before exporting it) ?
Yes, I know, QT can play it without exporting (=reencoding). But other players do not recognize the rotation. So I have to export/re-encode it.
Furthermore I wonder why the audio checkbox is disabled when I go in menu
Export to Options.
Any hints?
Peter

Hi mrpearldrums,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you would like to export the movie with audio you created, you will choose File > Movie > Export Audio to Movie, choose your options and then export it. This will give you the movie with audio. Please use the link provided below as a resource. I know the title of the article doesn’t sound like the steps you need, but this should do exactly what you are looking to accomplish.

I cannot export or share a ProResLT movie, why?

I have never had this problem before. I exported a 59:00 master from FCP as a ProRes LT movie, but when I try to export said move to an iphone or Apple TV template using the QT player, I get a warning the operation has stopped because file not supported. Even if I try to "share" the movie using any of the share templates, I get the same warning. I tried this with an ProResLT movie and a ProRes 422 movie. I am currently downloading Mountain Lion, maybe that will cure the problem. Any ideas what is going on?
Best.
Tom

Thanks Russ. Yes, the frame rate is different. I shoot in 720p 60 and for some reason the output of the smaller file was 29.97p. It Looks good, does it matter if I change the timeline to 29.97? Or should i just shoot in 720p30? I shoot a sports show and stream it on the web. All looks good, but I am trying to keep the file size down a bit, so the smaller bit rate seems to help. I am an old Betacam shooter and still confused by all of the different formats. Any insight will really help. www.northcoastgameoftheweek.com

FCP 7 Export Quicktime Movie Suddenly Stopped working

I use FCP7 on Mavericks 10.9.2. Working in Final Cut with raw ProRes 422 footage and wanting to export my sequence as Export Quicktime Movie. Worked fine until one day it just didn't. Final Cut exports a QT file that QT opens and immediately attempts (and fail) to convert. Then I get a message that QT cannot recognize file type, even though file is a .mov.
I send the file to the VLC media player, and it opens the file but only plays the audio. I have no idea why any of this is happening.
Using "Export Using Quicktime Conversion" I can still get the uncompressed ProRes 422 sequence out of Final Cut, but that's a pain. I want Command-E back. Any ideas?

If you love FCP7, you don't move UP to FPX - you move over to a new set of operational activities, a new vocabulary and a new media management structure. Notice the word "new" as in different, not "updated" as in a faster version of the same system.
If you want a 64 bit version of FCP7, look into Premiere Pro CC.
Best,

Can not export my movie from iMovie '09

Hey there,
Have a problem.
Been working on a nice clip, wanted to export the movie and I get this error message that sais:
Unable to prepare project for publishing.
The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)
What shall I do?? Can anyone help me out?
I have enough memory on my disk...
Thanks in advance!

I cannot help you because your description of the problem is very vague. First what software did you update, iOS or iMovie. Second where are you trying to export iMovie Films to?

I can't export my movie because a file is missing, how can I find it?

I've spent ages making a movie and now it says cannot export because a movie file cannot be found. I have no idea what file this is! It says it is called 'Trim 1' but this doesn't appear to be any of my movie files. I did have some problems importing some movie files which then wouldn't show up - could this be the problem? And it says that without this file, the movie cannot play properly! How can I identify this file and delete it?

many thanks, that's perfect.
it tells me that the feature i am trying to us is on a network resource that is unavaiable. click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package. 'iTunes64msi' in the box below.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
