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.

Thanks.

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.

How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

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.
Regards
TD

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

What format video/movie files will the iPod 80GB Video play?

Hi there!
My iPod is working well, but I cannot get it to play movies. Does anyone know what formats the files have to be in for iPod to play it? Will it play .avi's, mpeg4, .vob etc?
Thanks in advance and happy 2007!

The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
-or-
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.

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.

Exporting .mov files from iPhoto...

My iPhone barely has free memory so I wanted to transfer my pictures and videos from my Camera Roll to iPhoto. Then, I tried exporting all those files to my external hard drive. After waiting for an hour, exporting was finished but I observed something weird: the size of the folder containing all of the photos and videos that were just exported was 16GB, while it is said in iTunes that those files should take up 21GB of memory. I tried to investigate why. Scrolling down, I noticed that nothing seemed to be wrong with all of the photos (.jpg). But, when I tried to play the videos (.mov), the QuickTime Player only displayed a black screen with no accompanying audio. I tried using VLC, but it wouldn't play anything as well. The duration of the videos were the same, though. So, my speculation is that the reason why the folder had a smaller size was that the videos imported from iPhoto weren't properly copied. Afterwards, I checked the file properties of one .mov file. To my surprise, the videos were working in the preview found in the lower portion of the properties tab. The size of one video was: 70,255 bytes (131 KB on disk). That kinda confused me because (even though I'm not a tech buff), I know that 70,255 bytes is not equal to 131 kb (unless you can prove otherwise). I also do not know what "on disk" exactly means --- maybe this is the reason why the folder says it has a size of 16 gb instead of 21 gb? I really do not know...
OK, so I tried to give what I thought was helpful info so that I may receive a solution to my problem. If ever you need to ask for more information that may be necessary for you to answer my case, please do state what they are. I'll check on this question from time to time and I'll try to respond as immediately as possible. Thank you!

Thanks for the questions TD!
Mac Pro OS X 10.9.2
Ipad is 7.0.6 and the videos are still on my Ipad and I can play them on the Ipad. This is where they were originally created, on my Ipad, March 2013.
Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2
No, the videos do not play in Iphoto. They have the camera icon on the lower left identifying them as a video and the seconds or minutes, as the as the case may be on the lower right, ex. 0:23, and also identified as a Quicktime movie with size information, ex. 480x640, 12.2 MB.
Some of the videos were taken in portrait and some in landscape, same problem regardless of orientation.
I have videos created before this date and after which play fine and also which exported with no problem. Haven't tried all of them because I have a lot of videos but just a few to test.
I'm now wondering if I can simply delete the videos from Iphoto and reupload them from the Ipad since they are still on there and playing no problem. Or has the software changed and is no longer directly responsive.
I appreciate your time and any suggestions you may have for this particular problem.

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.

Problem exporting .mov file

I'm trying to export a :30 second sequence using quicktime conversion to a .mov file. I use the default settings with the H.264 codec and uncompressed 16 bit audio. (I've also tried a few other settings with Sorenson and Sorenson 3) The same thing happens everytime. The export takes forever (about 20 minutes) then stops when the progress bar gets to about 79%. A general error comes up. On some occasions, I have also gotten a notice that says my startup disk is close to full. This is confusing because all my drives have at least 10gb of space available on them.
It was suggested in another thread that this could be a result of a corrupt media or render file. If so, how does one determine that this is the cause? It was also said that bad RAM might be to blame.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...
I wouldn't jump right into upgrading as a fix at this point, since your program shouldn't have any trouble exporting a simple Quicktime, and the upgrade to Final Cut Studio from FCP 3 is $799 USD. That isn't full price, but still may be a bit steep if you've chosen to keep using FCP 3 for so long. Although I will say that subsequent versions include many improvements that you might actually appreciate so keep it in mind.
Have you tried exporting using Quicktime Conversion from any other projects with any other clips? That would also be a good idea, to narrow down the problem. Did you try exporting a Quicktime Movie using Current Settings? I realize that may not be adequate for your final intention, but it would help the troubleshooting as well.
I once had a problem exporting a clip from FCP and after trying everything, I recaptured the clip and it ended up working. There were no visible glitches or skips in the video to indicate that the clip itself would have been corrupt, but turns out it was. So if you can recapture, since it's only a 60-second clip, maybe give that a whirl.
You should also trash your FCP prefs (search for com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist on your sytem drive and delete that file), repair your permissions (in Disk Utility), and restart.

Freezes when exporting .mov files in CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder

For the past 7 hours now I have been trying every internet remedy for the following problem, and was wondering if any of you nice people could help:
I just came back from a ski trip, and wanted to make an edit featuring my fiends. I recorded large parts of the trip on my new iPhone, both in 720p 120fps (120.15fps, h.264 1280*720) and the normal 1080p 30fps. iPhone files are in the .mov format. I also recorded some parts on a GoPro hero hd2 camera at both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps. GoPro files are in the MP4 format, and i've never had a probvlem with them.
Now all imports fine into premiere pro, and although I had a few problems with freezing while editing initially, this was quickly solved by terminating all unused (non-adobe) processes in task manager.
So I spent a good 4 hours making a 2.5 minute edit of our day, and wanted to export it.
So I selected the sequence, and went file>export>media, selected all of the preferences i wanted for exporting, and sent it to the Adobe media encoder.
The media encoder loads the files for a few seconds, and then starts the encoding process. And promptly freezes. It freezes at around 10-20 seconds (depending on export preferences) after starting to encode, and never restarts. i can then pause the encode, but cancelling it crashes adobe media encoder and subsequently also crashes Premiere Pro.
I may be mistaken here, but I have a strong suspicion that It is quicktime that is causing all this.
So I tried the following:
- reinstalling, downgrading, updating, etc. Quicktime
- renaming file extensions from .mov to .mp4
- all sorts of export preferences, from image sequences to dvd to blueray and dv. (Image sequences, interestingly, occasionally export to about half a minute into the video(also depending on preferences), then freeze)
- crossing my fingers
- checking for gaps in video, found none
- updating premiere pro and media encoder
- throwing my mouse at the wall in frustration
- making a new project with different settings and copying in the sequence
- disabling "Include source xmp metadata"
- making a new user account and trying it there
Is there anything else I can try?
Could I copy the project itself into a different program (e.g. iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) and export from there?
Is there an alternative to Adobe media encoder?
Need more information?
Thanks for the help!
Specs:
Premiere version: 4.2.1
Encoder version: 4.2.0.006
Comp specs:
16Gb ram
quad core i5
256 Gb solid state (system, program files are here)
2TB HDD (video files, scratch disk are here)
Nvidia gtx 660 graphics
Windows 64 bit
1 monitor

I bought quicktime pro today to try this, but to no avail. it just freezes up again during export.
I tried some other fixes on that page, like renaming files to .mpg extension, which worked once during an export of a test sequence (although everything was shifted and it cut off the export at the gopro footage).
Is there any way I can export this project to another program to export it from there perhaps?
Thanks for the help!

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).

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.

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.
