Export to Quicktime - in pieces?

Hi,
I am trying to solve a sudden problem I encounter. I tried to Export a sequence doing Export/Quicktime Movie/Current Settings, Self-Contained, but instead exporting it to one file, the movie is divided in several files of 2GB with the addition of v1, v2, and so forth. I checked the option to Limit Capture/Export but that is not it.
So, if you have any tips or tricks to solve this...
Thanxalot!!

Hello there... welcome to the forum.
You have probably got a new media drive, and it's formatted to FAT 32, rather than Mac OS extended..
FAT32 has a file size limit of 2Gb, so breaks the files up.
highlight your drive on the desk-top, and press command(apple)+i to 'get info'... look at the format.
to re-format you must use disk utility... (applications>utilities>disc utility)
however, re-formatting will totally erase everything on this drive.

I can't export to QuickTime, it gives message "Codec not found."

I have long sequence, in which I have some Channel Swap effects. I get an error message saying it can't be rendered for a sequence this long (72 minutes) with my hardware (2009 iMac running OS 10.6.8). When I try to export to QuickTime, it tells me "Codec not found." I'm trying to export to Apple Pro Res HQ. What should I do? I took out the Channel Swap effects and didn't get the message anymore in the sequence, but I'm afraid the codec issue will crop up again, even though I changed it to Apple Pro Res in the Render Options tab under Sequence settings, rather than just "Same as Sequence". Eventually, I will have to export to HQ, and I'm not sure this codec lets me do that. Help!

You don't give any details about your format or sequence settings, so I'll be general here.
Just a couple of observations...
The only time limitation messages I've seen (in the last decade) have been resource-oriented, not NLE constraints so if your system doesn't like a 72-minute sequence I'd be looking at drive space or something like that. Have you tried outputting two 36-minute pieces?
I don't understand your logic in using the sequence codec option (which is limited to two specific formats) to control output of the sequence rather than the output "same as sequence" dropdown) options. Personally, I don't use either, I output the sequence as is and transcode in Compressor.
Simple as it sounds, "Codec not found" generally means exactly that, so I'd be looking at whether the codecs need to be re-installed.
Hope this helps

How to Export a Quicktime Movie Reference?

I'm looking to export a quicktime reference movie that I can bring into Soundtrack Pro. I tried quicktime movie and didn't select "self-contained". I didn't see a 'reference movie' option. My timeline is a bit over an hour long. It has the 10-bit PAL sequence preset. It took around 20 minutes to make the file. The final "quicktime movie" (reference?) was 5.5 GIGABYTES (GB) in size!!! The entire timeline was already rendered out.
What am I doing wrong? I thought QT Reference Files were suposed to be tiny.

I'm also having an issue with QT Ref files this morning, and didn't think it would be prudent to start a new thread. I have searched though, and don't think this has been answered elsewhere.
I'm working on a simple timeline...I built a sequence in After Effects and exported it as a DV/NTSC sequence for use in FCP. I've synced it up with an audio track (AIFF 48khz) and am trying to export various versions of it. The first one I did was a simple QT Ref movie. It looks exactly right. When I get info on this file, it says the codec is H.264, which is weird considering the source file and timeline setting is DV/NTSC.
I made a minor edit and attempted to just export a version using Sorenson 3 w/Compressor. Wasn't happy with the results, so I tried to export a new QT Ref of the edited timeline and was going to use this in Cleaner. The new ref file's get info says it was encoded as DV/NTSC (which makes sense), but it looks terrible. I wonder if this has anything to do with my use of Compressor in between. There's nothing to render since its only native DV and AIFF, but just for good measure I've done Sequence>Render All and same results.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance. Off to toss my prefs....
EDIT: after tossing QT and FCP Prefs, no luck. When I export, it doesn't even go through the process (its only a ~:30 piece so its not that long anyway) of exporting. It flashes for a second, and the file (severely compressed) is at the destination folder.

Best way to export a quicktime for crisp/clear text

I created a few 60 second text animations and they look perfect when viewing on my NTSC monitor but the text is fuzzy in the NTSC DV quicktimes I made. I exported them at DV resolution because I was originally told the final piece would be on DVD but it turns out they will be projected from a laptop. What are the best settings for exporting a quicktime for this purpose?

When you created them, did you scale them using the "Scale" option under the Motion tab, or the "Size" option under the Control parameters? You should be using "Size".

Keynote export to Quicktime = blank white screen

We have Keynote 4.0.1. We have a slide show that plays perfectly, but when we Export to Quicktime, the resulting movie has a blank white screen and our music track, but no narration and no graphics.
Any clues?
Thanks!

From your description your problem may be that you have QuickTime video embedded in your Keynote document.
QT video will play normally in a Keynote presentation, however when you export the Keynote presentation to a QT movie, the video will be blank. This is a long-standing issue with Keynote and the 4.0.2 update does not fix this problem.
There is no workaround using Keynote only.
You can export the graphics portion of the Keynote presentation to a QT movie and then embed that movie in a video editing program such as Final Cut Pro (I don't believe iMovie is up to the task). Once you've assembled all the pieces--the Keynote presentation, your narration, and whatever else--you will then be able to export to a QuickTime movie.

How can I export via QuickTime in iMovie '13 (10.0)?

Prior versions of iMovie had an export via QuickTime option, which allowed me to select the file format, encoding settings, etc. After upgrading to the new iMovie, that appears to have gone away. The Share -> File option does not allow me that level of control over the output file. Has that functionality been removed from iMovie?

I'm also having trouble with this. The new version of iMovie lost a lot of its features and is clearly focused toward the social media side of things. After importing using SD cameras that import video in a *square* PiP format, I am finding it impossible to update any of my settings to export the video in any other format that wouldn't cut out the picture. Basically, the only settings I've found in the share option of the iMovie 10.0 cu off the tops and bottoms of all my recording. Previously, I used QuickTime settings to pick what format and quality I wanted to export in. Does anyone have any insight about how to export using, say, a 640 x 480 format or in being able to adjust to any format other than the standard ones giving.
Is there any other video software I can be using to import and export with that gives me more functionality?

Error code = -50 every time I try and publish or export (except Quicktime)

When I try and do any kind of publish or export (other than "Export using Quicktime") it will say "preparing" then will immediately go to a dialog that says:
Unable to prepare the project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code = -50)
I have no idea what next.
Thanks,

I'mtrying to upload my photos to shutterfly I've gone to file and export then the window gives me the option of file export webpage quicktime and slideshow . on my macmini I have shutterfly on there also how do I get this on my new mac

I go to file and export then a window appears with file export, webpage,quicktime and slideshow. On my mini I have shutterfly as an option and don't remember how to do it. What do I do to input this info so that shutterfly becomes an option

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Export in QuickTime with "Only Hyperlink"

Hallo! I've a problem! When export in QuickTime from KeyNote, setting "Only hyperlink", the keys with the
action back do not only work while next it works. This happens even if inserts the numeration of the page. Can you help me??!!! Thank you very much!

OK, I may have found the source of the problem: when i tried to play the movie file that I had inserted in Keynote on my PC, Quicktime asked for a codec. In Movie Inspector, I saw that the video was encoded in FLV1...
Any idea where I can get this codec for QT WIndows (I'm searching for it and haven't found it yet)

File type for export as quicktime movie

I thought I read here that "Export as Quicktime Movie" produces a .mov file (although without the extension). I'm using Brightcove to host our videos, and their publishpod says it accepts .mov files, but doesn't seem to work with the file from FCE. Is it really a .mov? Or do I need to export using Quicktime Conversion (and burn up lots more time in the process?)

Thanks...
I did search the forum and nothing addressed my specific issue. Sorry if I didn't phrase my question clearly.
Anyway, I suspect the problem is that the Brightcove software does not work well with the Apple Intermediate Codec. I had no problem with a .mov exported with H.264 compression. This adds extra time to my workflow, but I suspect it will be a necessary evil.

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.

Cannot export to Quicktime anymore. Please help.

Hi all,
I did some maintenance on my computer recently and now I can no longer export to Quicktime format. The maintenance involved deleting old footage plus a bunch of "Media Cache Files," which were taking up nearly 90 gigs of space. 90 gigs! I guess over the years it built up! This was the first time I ever messed with these files, in fact I didn't even know they existed until recently. I found them within the following file structure:
AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Common > Media Cache Files
I did some research before deleting them and everything I read said it was ok to do so, but ever since I haven't been able to export to QT in Premiere Pro or After Effects. Premiere gives me the error message, " Unable to create or open output file." I reinstalled QT, but that didn't help.
I normally don't export to Quicktime format unless I'm doing some animation projects in After Effects, which is what I'm working on now.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I've tried changing the export destination, but that doesn't help, and I don't have a problem exporting to other formats.
I've never tried using AME as a convertor. I'm not sure that's the ultimate solution to my problem, but I'm curious enough to give it a try. How would I do that?

16:9 Exported to Quicktime Becomes 4:3

How do you preserve 16:9 aspect ratio in exporting a FCP sequence to Quicktime?
File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion>and then I typically select Broadband-Medium or Streaming-Medium (I think that's 15fps). And eventhough I check Preserve Aspect Ratio, I still get a 4:3 square with 16:9 squeezed video.

Greetings,
I was in a similar situation as this fellow editor;
Most of my footage is 4:3, however I show it on plasmas that are 16:9 and some DVD players simply stretch my image. Can compressor fix this problem? I imported a 4:3 sequence into compressor and I want compressor to export it to a 16:9 format with pillarboxes. How do I do this? Thank you.
And your response was;
Hi,
select your encoding preset (i.e. DVD best quality 90 minutes) in settings window, drag it onto your video. Highlight/select the video to activate the inspector window info and tools. As you know in inspector you can click on 6 buttons to view/change settings (i.e. encoder, frame controls etc.) click on geometry.
Now in Crop to: select 16:9 and in padding select 16:9 but in the boxes below change top and bottom to 0 and left and right to 72.
Submit the encoding and once that's done import your MPEG2 as asset in DVSstudio, drag it on the track frame in the graphical window, single click it and in the track window (lower right side of the screen) select 16:9 as display mode. You should now have your 4:3 movie in a 16:9 ratio with pillarboxes.
G.
I followed your advice and after bringing into DVD studio pro, the only format I could export to was a video stream mpeg that doesn't open up for me. I want to export it as a mov file to import back into my final cut project. Is it possible to export a 16:9 format out of compressor as a mov file.
I am trying to see what would be the best road for me to go down.
I spent five years doing a documentary and half of the footage was shot 16:9, the other half 4:3. I like the 16:9 look and want to eventually try to convert all the 4:3 to 16:9.
what are your thoughts,
Thank you very much,
Julian

Keynote 3.0.2 Will Not Export to Quicktime

I have a put together a Keynote presentation that uses a Quicktime movie on one of the slides. The presentation plays fine within Keynote, but when I try to export the presentation to Quicktime, the export stops and tells me there's not enough memory or there's something wrong with the file. The message comes up when the export procedure reaches the slide that contains the Quicktime movie. Is it possible to export a Keynote presentation to a Quicktime Movie if the presentation has a movie in it? That's like a movie inside a movie. I can't get it to export to QTime.

The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.
