CS3: Exported .mov file plays back very slowly and choppy

I'm exporting a 1020x574 stage to Quicktime, H.264 High
quality, no sound. The resulting video, no matter what size I make
it, always plays choppy at parts. It plays fine in Flash and as a
.swf, but the .mov lags badly.
Any ideas what's going on?

Yes, that's the exact same problem I'm having. And I see the
same thing, where areas with more objects tweening and effects and
such have the lag. The thing is, when I play the .swf in the Flash
Player it runs without *any* lag, so it doesn't make sense to me
why lag is picked up when it records it for QT.
I have noticed that if I shrink my entire stage and export at
a smaller size, it runs without lag. That is not an option,
however, I need the larger size.
Well, that's disappointing. Next step is to try and find a
good screen video recorder and manually record the playback.

Prroblems Exporting .MOV files from Flash CS5

I am having trouble exporting my animations created in Flash CS5 (or Macromedia flash 5, or CS3) to .MOV files. I'm having these issues on different platforms (mac and pc) and different operating systems (XP and win 7) - I only get error messages and out of memory errors, even on the fastest computer I have with 4gig of RAM working on a 2mg Flash file.
I just want to convert my Flash files to a format that can play on Youtube and standard DVD players. Also I've tried many converters (flash to video) - not all free (Moyea, Roxio, iWisoft, Winfx Video Converter, Amor, E.M. Magic, etc, etc) - nothing works. The main problems are either the sound is not synched, the playback is choppy, and the quality is awful.
I think my only hope of getting a good video is starting with a good .MOV file exported from Flash. I know the program is supposed to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Exporting the video at a slower FPS with all the settings maxed and then speeding it up later may not be the most practical and adding a few extra steps can increase the chances of error...I wasn't willing to maniuplate the frame rate, so I tried with the highest video settings and my file ended up being 10GB in size for a video with 1689 frames, and there were STILL artifacts.
There's also the option of exporting your sequence as individual frames and recombinging them using Quicktime Pro (I found that on another forum), and Quicktime Pro is a pretty cheap program ($20?). Just remember to hide your motion guides and activate your masks (right click on your masks in the timeline and select Show Masks), or they'll show up in your frames and you'll have to start again. Also, when inputting your individual frames, remember to select the correct frame speed to it matches the one that you're working with. From there, you have a complete video clip that you can input into any editing suite (heck, Windows Movie Maker is adequate if you're just putting it on YouTube).
Either way, Flash Professional doesn't appear to be capable of generating a .MOV that works outside of the box on its own, at least not without the addition of a 3rd party plugin. Given the proliferation of animation projects on TV that are animated using Flash, I was thinking that Flash SHOULD have a way to render a .MOV file properly (ie: without dropping frames and leaving behind artifacts because it's taking too long to read the frame), but then, it's best to use the right tools for the job. You can use most of the tools in Creative Suite/Cloud to generate the same layered image, but every single application has a specific purpose:
Photoshop can handle text layouts, vector imagery, and animation, but it's best at manipulation of raster images.
Illustrator can handle text layouts and some manipulation of raster images, but it's best at creating and editing vector images.
InDesign can do some manipulation of raster images (or at least it imports them) and creating/drawing of vector images, but it's best at text layouts for multi-page documents and arranging images.
Flash allows you to layout text, draw image vectors, and manipulate rasters, but its best for animation and interactive content (I draw my characters in Illustrator first then import then in Flash...Flash drawing tools just drive me buggy).
Your video editing suite (and probably Premiere...haven't used Premiere in a long time, so I can't say for sure) can handle some text inputs, does some animation, but it's best for taking existing video and audio clips (from whatever sources) and editing them non-linearly.
I'll need someone in the biz to confirm this, but I do suspect that for studio based Flash animation projects that end up on TV (eg: Teen Titans Go!, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), they wouldn't be generating the show entirely using Flash (laying down soundtrack and dialogue as well) and then exporting to .MOV. It's more likely that they'd be exporting individual clips without audio (either using the slow frame rate method or by exporting individual frames and importing to Quicktime) and using a non-linear video editor to edit the clips and lay down audio tracks accordingly.

Exporting .Mov files at 24fps for Final Cut Pro 5

I work at an animation production house and we're trying to export .mov files from QT 7.1.2 at 24fps so they won't have to be rendered in a FCP project which is a 720p project with a frame size of 1280x720, we're experimenting with two codecs. We're using Motion Jpeg A and Photo Jpeg, selecting 24fps but for some reason they import into FCP 5 at 10fps. It's as though QT isn't outputting accurate 24fps .mov files. When I export .mov files from FCP they import back into FCP without having to be rendered. What's the difference between the ones exported from QT vs. the .mov files exported from FCP. We're using the exact same settings and files....? The reason we need to use QT to do this is because it needs to be a somewhat automated process (lots of stills to work with) and our PA's are working on Windows with QT only.

You should post your inquiry at Final Cut Pro section for better support. Anyway, Final Cut Pro does not always recognize the frame rate correctly, depending on which application (and possibly which codec) you used to compress video. For example, Snapz Pro X and Adobe After Effects don't get along with Final Cut Pro in this respect. Furthermore, compressing video in H.264 will be a bad idea. So simply adjust the size of Canvas so that it won't cover the whole screen. In this way, you can even replay video on Canvas and even send it for final production.

Quicktime .MOV file plays audio only - no video

Okay, here goes...
I created a .MOV file from Avid via the H.264 codec. This file contains video and audio and was made on a Mac using Leopard. I played it back successfully on that machine.
I then copied it to a data DVD and put it on my XP PC with all OS software up to date. I have a freshly updated QT 7.6 install. The files will only play back audio on my PC - video appears black (if preferences are set to Direct X) or white (if preferences are set to safe mode). Video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO; driver is up to date.
Anybody have any insight into what I need to do to my PC to get this video to play?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't directly address the issue I am having (though it does show me the world of hurt out there when FCP and Avid bump up against each other in the same post process).
And the third-party page doesn't have any codecs for Avid.
Again, I am at a loss. I created the QT files from my Avid project on a Mac. The files played back properly on that Mac. They won't play back on my Windows machine, so I can only assume that there's something missing or different between the QT versions for Mac and Windows.
Since I can't figure out how to get these files to play properly on a PC and since my home machine is a PC, I guess I will not output footage from Avid to a .MOV file in the future. I will try to find a format that Windows Media Player likes, I guess.
Thanks for the help.

Exported .MOV file is faded like the gain or saturation was turned down.

Hi,
When I export a misic video as an .MOV file it is 1. extremely large and 2. faded like the saturation was reduced.
Does anyone have settings for exporting MOV files of a 3 minutes music video so that it will come in under 415 MB.
Could someone help me figure out how to compensate for the desaturation?
Thank You,
Mel

Thanx Hunt for pointing me in the right direction,
I'll research that.

My screen cuts out half way of opening it but comes back on when i start to close and then very slowly and little bit at a time it stays on why

Could be a bad inverter cable, that's a classic symptom.

No .mov files play

I upgraded to Pro from version 6 to 7 and now no .mov file will play. Not even the main trailers for movies on the quicktime page plays. Everything worked fine until I upgraded. I've tried .mov files all over the internet and my computer and none of them will play, I just get a flickering screen, usually a brownish color.

By the way, I just tried to view my Quicktime info from the system tray icon and got the following error:
Error signature
AppName: qtinfo.exe AppVer 7.1.0.210 ModName: usbmn2x2.dll
ModVer: 0.4.1.14 offset 00001f57
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled with the Quicktime only install file and rebooted.

I know very little about windows but security software is notorious for causing the type of problem you have, you may want to contact Symentec and ask them which settings you need to change.

Exporting movie file from iPhoto

I have a Panasonic Lumix that takes both still photos and movies. The movies and still photos are transferred from the memory card to iPhoto. I would like to use some of the movie clips (.mov format) in an iMovie project. I transferred the movie files from iPhoto to an external hard drive by using the File > Export function. All appeared to go well. When opening the transferred file on the external hard drive, the file size is much smaller than one would expect and the cursor goes right from the beginning to the end as if it was a still photo. In the export function box, the "kind" options include original, current, JPEG, TIFF. I chose current. It does not give an option for file size. The movie file opens and works fine in iPhoto but not the same file transferred to the external hard drive. To make matters worse, I deleted many of the iPhoto movie files after transferring them to the external hard drive and so they are lost forever. Is iPhoto not designed to export movie files ? Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance

Is there any way to export an entire album of both movies and photos at once? I want to set the movies to export as original and the photos as JPEG, HIGH, with Metadata. Possible?
No. The export window will only take one set of criteria at a time.

Can't export .mov file to FB/You Tube in any format other than Mobile.

I'm exhausted. I feel like I'm either not wired for a Mac or Mac intentionally makes interacting wtih non-Mac applications next to impossible.
I have a 720X1080 .mov file I imported to iMovie and on which I did a bit of cropping/editing work on. When I attempt to export it in mp4 or any other format, the quality is shot. When I attempt to upload it directly onto FB, the only option iMovie gives me is "Mobile" sized, or 480X260.
I just want to get this video out of iMovie and either into a format that is more universal or uploaded in a size that can be viewed without giving people a squint headache.
This shouldn't be that hard. But it is. Please help. :-(

Thanks - Walking away for a bit and a new day helped tackle the problem with a renewed energy. :-)
That actually exactly what I'm doing... but when I hit "Export" or "Share" (or anything, for that matter) all options *except* mobile are greyed out/disabled. When I check the specs on the origina video, it's a 720X1080 (taken on an iPhone4), and yet by the time I get the video into iMovie and edited, somehow I'm only left with the 480X260 option. All other options I can see, but aren't available for my video clip.
Thanks so much for helping me try and get this figured out.

Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

One mov file plays in Media Viewer on Ext Hd Drv, imported into FCPX it plays 5 sec then goes black. No problem with other mov files.

One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?

Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly? Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords. Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on. Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.
