Export .mov files compatible for Google Video

I upgraded to QTpro so I could post my imovies to the new Google Video in the mp4 format. No problem, except GV wants the audio as an mp3 file. iTunes uses it, why not QT? Did I waste my money? How can I do this, export as an mp4 video, with mp3 audio?

I just looked at the new Google Video upload and specifications.
It seems they'll take almost any video formats (even .mov and .wmv).
I don't think they know much about MPEG-4 formats or what an .mp3 file really is.
The .mp3 "format" is really part of the old MPEG-1 specs (MPEG-1 Layer 3).
A properly encoded .mp4 file would not use such an ancient audio setting.
They are also asking for video uploads in the MPEG-2 format. Most computers don't have the needed software to even play these files.
I think Google should edit their pages and clear up this confusion.
You should upload your .mp4 file because at least it conforms to industry standards.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problems viewing exported .mov file from Mac for viewing on PC

    I am working with a reporter who has a PC at home while I am editing a video for her using FCE 4.1 on a MacBook Pro, using HD footage from a Canon Vixia HF20 AVCHD camera. I burned a draft of the video we are working on for her to look at on her home PC, exporting the FCE project as a straight .mov file. But she could not view it on her PC even though she has viewed .mov files on her computer in the past (but this is the first time she has tried to look at .mov file exported from FCE on a Mac). What might the issue here be? Do I need to export the file in a different way? Might she have an older version of Windows Media Player or be unable to view certain versions of .mov files on her computer? Should I hand it off to her instead as an .mp4 file? Any help much appreciated.
    Douglas

    You'll need to copy the Apple HDV Codec to your MacBook. Since it won't be Intel native (unless you get FCP 5.1) you'll have to force QuickTime Player to run in Rosetta; it should be a setting in the Get Info window for QT Player. You should then be able to view the video (though I haven't tested this myself).
    Hope this helps.

  • Exporting .mov file from CS5.5 Premier Pro for playing through QuickTime Player

    Dear All,
    I would most appreciate any assistance on a problem that I am experiencing with a current project.
    I have a HD1080i50 project which I have completed editing. The work consists of two video tracks on top of a black video track that presents two identically sized images side by side that run con-currently. To achieve this presentation I have solely reduced the scale of the clips to 44% and then positioned them side by side. After rendering, within Premier, the playback is exactly as I want it and the imagery is sharp and clear. The problems occur when I either try to export the project as a mov. file (to play using Quicktime), or when I export to Encore and produce a DVD. In both cases, the audio is fine but the imagery is slightly blurred.
    In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
    To date, with earlier projects, I have not experienced this problem. I am obviously doing something wrong in the export settings process and would appreciate it greatly if anyone can advise. Should more info on the project be required to respond, I am happy to provide it.
    With thanks in advance.

    In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
    Sure, but we need to know what you intend to do with the file. Is it for distribution? Archiving? Watching on a computer, or watching on the web? Do you absolutely need to have a QuickTime MOV? There are many variables, not the least of which concerns the exact specifications of your sequence and the footage you're using in the sequence.
    To make a better recommendation, some more information is needed.

  • Exported .mov file gives me a purple video

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export a .mov file but the end result is always a purple video.
    If I export as a .wmv file it shows the colors just fine.
    Screenshot:
    My video card driver is up to date and so is Quicktime.
    Who can help me?

    Have something for your to try, that is, deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file.
    In your Windows 7 64 bit, the path to it is:
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
    Make sure that you have the computer Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path described.
    Let us see if that has any influence on the results.
    But just so that we are clear, please confirm
    a. before the Timeline content, the Timeline content plays back in the Edit Mode monitor without any color problem - no purple images
    and
    b. it is only in the export that you see the purple result
    If none of the above helps, could you post a screenshot of your QuickTime export settings under the Advanced Button of the preset that you have selected.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Thanks.

  • Keep video metadata after exporting MOV files

    Hello !
    I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
    I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
    Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
    If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
    Thanks

    Cragen,
    A very Good Day!
    Lightroom does not read metadata from the video files till the version 5.3.
    However, the functionality may came as a feature in the coming version of  Lightroom!
    If the same is not visible in Lightroom make sure the files are copied to the system and then check the same in Lightroom

    Let me know how it works.

  • Need help exporting .mov files for editing in PE3

    hi,
    i'm trying to export HD .mov files from an Aiptek GO-HD camcorder that seems to record in QT format with some funky codecs. I need to export it into a format that i can edit on a PC using Premier Elements 3.0. The few tests i've run have shown a huge increase in size when exporting from .mov to .avi (100m to 30 GB).
    Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing this?

    You just need to open the .mov file with Elements.
    You don't need to convert it using QuickTime Pro
    first.
    Premiere may "convert" it to some other format to
    allow editing (I don't know) and that would only take
    some time at import.
    HD files are anywhere from 10 to 60 MB's per second
    (some even higher) so a DV version will drastically
    increase in file size.
    What, besides editing, is the goal of your work?
    that doesn't work with this camcorder. apparently the encoding is called QT, but it really isn't. i have to export into something else in order to edit.
    the goal of my work is to convert choppy family video into something clean that i can share with friends and family via CD / DVD (not streaming on net).

  • Exporting a quicktime .mov file to rework the video in imovie- pixelated

    Hi- I have a 17 minute clip saved in .mov that I want to break apart into 3 segments. When I try to import the .mov file into imovie- it says no way... so I have exported the file as a .mp4 and the file is totally pixelated... so not worth breaking apart.... what can I do to export it? So, it views properly when I import it? anything would be really helpful and i really appreciate it! thanks for the help! spence

    I had similar issues when importing shorter clips. The solution that eventually worked for me was to export each clip from Quicktime Pro as Progressive footage in a DV stream using the DVCPRO50 settings. Exporting in the regular DV format caused the footage to look very pixelated in certain parts. The downside to this is that the DVCPRO50 settings produce clips that are twice as large. (A 1 min clip will be around 400MB in size, compared with 200MB for regular DV.) Try that (assuming you have upgraded to Quicktime Pro).

  • Exported MOV file from Express - what do I compress it as for media???

    I exported a MOV file from Final Cut Express. Looks great. Now I need to send it to broadcast - CNN, NBC, etc.
    What format should I compress it with Sorenson Squeeze 6? I've tried different presets but want to know what's the best one to use. Please help. Need responses ASAP.

    I'm sorry, I meant to write you have to ask the broadcasters what they want. They can have a lot of very different demands.
    This is also very dependent of what your material is. Fine, you exported to QuickTime Movie, but what did you export. HD? SD? What specification? If you don't know, open the file in the QT player and report exactly what it says in the movie inspector.
    You can put anything on a big enough FTP server provided you have the time and a wide enough pipe. It's probably going to be a really big file or files so you'd better have a really fast connection and/or a lot of time. Sometimes FedExing a drive is faster.

  • Quicktime 10 won't play FCE exported .mov files?

    I have edited several videos using Final Cut Express and exported them as .mov files to my desktop. Now, because I have a small internal hard drive (128GB SSD), I copy all of my raw footage to an external hard drive and then delete the files from my Mac HD. But, I keep the finished videos on my desktop. When I try to play the video while the hard drive is plugged in, QuickTime opens and plays the video just fine. But, when the external hard drive is NOT connected and I try to play the video (from my Mac HD), QuickTime won't open it nor play it. If I absolutely have to, I will carry the external HD around with me so I can play my videos, but I was just wondering if it had to do with the codec (H.264) my OS (10.6.8) QuickTime X or FCE (4.1). Can anybody help me?

    Can anybody help me?
    At this point one can only make guesses as to a solution since you have not really provided any useful information.
    I have edited several videos using Final Cut Express and exported them as .mov files to my desktop.
    For future reference, an MOV file is any compressed data in an MOV file container. Data can be any compression format compatible with the system configuration on which the file was made—to include both Apple QT native compatible codecs and "Pro" app installed codecs to third party codecs like WMV, DivX, XviD, MPEG-2, etc. In order to eliminate codec problems, in the future please indicate the specific codecs involved.
    Now, because I have a small internal hard drive (128GB SSD), I copy all of my raw footage to an external hard drive and then delete the files from my Mac HD. But, I keep the finished videos on my desktop. When I try to play the video while the hard drive is plugged in, QuickTime opens and plays the video just fine. But, when the external hard drive is NOT connected and I try to play the video (from my Mac HD), QuickTime won't open it nor play it.
    This would normally be the playback description of a "QT Reference" file. Basically, a reference file is a very small/quickly created file that tells the player to play data that is actually contained in one or more other files. However, since the reference file cannot be played if the main data file(s) are not accessible (i.e., when the external drive is disconnected), you should also be getting an error message telling you it cannot find referenced data and you have yet to confirm this here.
    If I absolutely have to, I will carry the external HD around with me so I can play my videos, but I was just wondering if it had to do with the codec (H.264) my OS (10.6.8) QuickTime X or FCE (4.1).
    Once again, since we don't know what form of compression was used or what settings were used, it is impossible to determine if there are any secondary problems to be delt with here. In most cases, a high date rate/low compression format is used for import/editing purposes and the final file is "exported" to a specific compression format depending on its specific target use. In most cases, H.264/AAC is the best compression format for "distibution" since it has a very wide range of settings which allow you to adjust the file size and quality aspects to suit any specific device or target use and to do so as a "standalone" (re-compressed) files which are independent of any data in source/other files.

  • Error: -8969 trying to export .mov file to MPEG-4

    I have a .mov file of a band performance. The file is 1Gb in size. When I try to export this file to an MPEG-4 format with H.264 codec using QuickTime Pro on both my laptop and a work desktop, I get about 17% into it and then Error:
    -8969 Unknown error has occurred. I can't find any reference to that number in this forum, on Apple's search or Google for that matter. Does anyone have an idea? I suspect it is a problem with the file itself since it crashes the same on two different computers. Here is the original file properties:
    Format: Apple Planar RGB, 354x240, 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48kHz
    Frames/sec: 29.97
    Data Size: 1.0 GB
    Data Rate: 5.34 MB
    Duration: 3:12
    I am certainly not experienced with this stuff, but apparently neither is the 'videographer' who recorded it.
    HP laptop   Windows XP Pro  

    Take the file to a friend that owns a Mac and QuickTime Pro. Pay for it if needed as it will sort out your mess.
    http://www.multimedia.cx/8bps.txt
    Basic understanding of export formats may have helped the original exporter of the file.
    What you have is a nearly "raw" file composed of an image format and a raw audio track.
    If you can ask them to send a DV stream of the same file you should be able to continue your work.
    Is the video some special image format prior to export from QuickTime?

  • 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.
