Exporting a quicktime file to a .mov format file

I'm having difficulty exporting a quicktime movie file from FCP 4.5 to a .mov file. How long is it supposed to take. The file is only 10 minutes long. It says at 22% done it will take an additional hour... Is this correct? What am I doing wrong? Why is it taking so long?
Ken

It all depends ...
Perhaps we can help you if you give us some information.
What are your:
Sequence settings?
Media codec?
Filters?
Layers of video and audio?
Export settings?
RAM?
Computer model?
free hard drive space?
you know, stuff like that.
cheers,

  • After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

    after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?  The self contained movie box is not checked.

    Hi
    Did You go via Compressor ?
    Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
    I don't
    I do
    • In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
    • Select ALL - Clips and Audio
    • Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
    • then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
    • then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
    • I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
    Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,

  • Exporting a quicktime file on 4:3 format, preserving 16:9

    I'm trying to preserve my 16:9 footage when exporting into a 4:3 quicktime file 720*576
    My footage is shot on 16:9, I have edited on a sequence that uses 16:9.
    I'm exporting using quicktime conversion, I'm selecting all the settings needed. I need the film to be viewable on 4:3 because that's the requested format of the screenings (it's a video art presentation).
    I'm clicking on the preserve aspect ratio using letterbox, but instead of geting a 4:3 foramt picture on the quicktime, the letterbox squeezes the frame into a square thing...it's as if the letterbox goes on the right and left side instead of up and down of the frame...
    I managed to export the film into a quicktime file 720*576 16:9, but what I really need is a quicktime file 4:3 that shows my film in 16:9 with letterbox bars up and down...
    how can I do this?
    thank you all in advance
    how can I resolve this

    Hi,
    Open the movie with QT>Hit command +J to open properties>presentation tab>conform aperture>choose production or as appropriate to you>Save changes.

  • Audio and video not in sync when exporting to Quicktime file

    I use a digital camera to shoot video, which is in .avi format. I then import the clips into IMovie HD (selecting all the clips and dragging all at the same time into IMovie). If I play the video from beginning to end in IMovie, the audio and video line up fine. But, when I 'share' to Quicktime file, the longer the video is, the more out-of-sync the audio and video become.
    I didn't have this problem when I used a mini-DV cam and imported using a firewire cable (in real time).
    Any ideas as to how to get the audio to sync up with the video once it's shared as a Quicktime file? I've tried .mp4 and .mov, and I have the same problem.

    Anything here help?

  • IMovie 11 - Export Using Quicktime - File Disappears after Export......

    Hey everyone:
    I've got a weird one here.  I've made my first project using iMovie.  I want to burn a DVD, so I clicked >>Share >> iDVD and it comes over fine.  I then setup a menu and stuff and burned it.  However, when I play it on my 52" plasma, it doesn't fit correctly.  It fills the screen, but it's almost like it's zoomed in so it cuts off of ALL edges.
    So I did some research and found this post and went to try it out.  So within iMovie, I click "share using Quicktime" and change some of the various settings and export the movie as a Quicktime (.MOV) file to my "Movies" folder.  The movie is about 55 minutes, it says it'll take about 35 minutes to export.
    35 minutes later I come back and the export box has closed, iMovie is still open, just like it should be, and the file I just exported is nowhere to be found.  It just disappears.  The second and third time I tried, I open a Finder window and watch the file get created, then get larger, and larger.  But once it's done, the file is gone.
    So then I created a new project and made a movie that was only 10 minutes long.  It exports fine and the file is there when it's done.  In other words, I can't replicate the problem with a new project.  However, I have a lot of time in editing this movie and don't want to start over for fear of finding the same result.
    What should I do?
    Thanks!

    I have this same problem and there are several threads running about it.  I have the paid-for version of iMovie, and cannot even get it to export a Quicktime movie.  This makes it even more useless than I already find it to be.  I spent the last two days working on a video, and for me to send it to my client, I would have to freight my computer to them so they could view it.

  • IMovie 2.1 export to Quicktime File under 2 megs

    Using iMove 2.1 how can I export a file to Quicktime File sized at 320 X 240. The file must be under 2 megs... also has to be able to be played with QT 7.
    867x2 Mirror Door G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    If your movie is under 2 seconds, that's easy.
    If your movie is longer, it is (of course) harder.
    Here are some guidelines for calculating the size. Just replace the CD size with your 2MB:

  • Keeping chapter markers intact when exporting as QuickTime file

    Created a 30-minute video in FCP7. Exported using QuickTime Conversion (H.264 file).
    When I pulled that QT file into iDVD (wanted a menu from there for this project instead of DVD Studio Pro, this time) -- chapter markers are gone.
    How to get them back?

    Exported using QuickTime Conversion (H.264 file).
    Why are you exporting as QT conversion to H264? The iDVD authoring process automatically encodes your source files to MPEG 2. You are going through an unneccesary compression cycle that is degrading your video.
    Do this from FCP instead: File > Export > QuickTime Movie > Current Settings > Self Contained.
    Make sure the marker selection button shows "All Markers" or just "Chapter markers"
    Bring that file into iDVD and let it do the rest.

  • Export to Quicktime bug with embedded movies

    Hi
    I'm having an annoying problem when having Quicktime movies inserted in slides, then recording a slideshow and exporting it to Quicktime. I do the following:
    1) Create a new slideshow
    1) Insert movie into first slide
    2) Create another slide
    3) Insert copy and paste movie into this slide as well and add some animated object (i.e. a shape with a motion path)
    4) Record slideshow so that the animated object appears while the movie still plays
    5) Export recorded slideshow to Quicktime
    *What happens when viewing the recorded slideshow:* Start of the presentation. The movie on the first slide starts playing immediately without clicking. *1st CLICK*. Second slide shows up. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well. *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the movie and the animation play simultaneously.
    *What happens when viewing the exported movie:* The exported movie seems to ignore some of the recorded settings. Slideshow starts, the movie doesn't play. *1st CLICK.* The movie starts playing (when actually it was supposed to advance from slide 1 to slide 2). *2nd CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2.
    It seems as if the export does not interpret all the settings the same way the direct presentation does, which is quite annoying as you don't get the same result in the exported movie you see on the screen.
    Workaround: Go to the "QuickTime inspector" button in the inspector window, select the movie, check the option "Start movie on click". Then, go to the "Build inspector", hit the "More Options" button. The movie object now appears in the list. Select it and select "Automatically after transition" in the lower "Start build" part of the inspector. This way, the movie will start playing also in the exported movie.
    Still there is another problem now.
    *What happens now when viewing the exported movie with workaround:* Slideshow starts, the plays. *1st CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well! YAY! *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the animation plays but the movie stops as soon as the animation is triggered.
    So, instead of playing animation and movie simultaneously as in the normal recorded slideshow on screen, in the exported movie, the movie stops the moment the animation is triggered.
    It seems as if the "Play Slideshow" and "Export to Quicktime" have different timelines, or different parameters the two modes evaluate.
    This happened in iWork '08 and also happens in iWork '09. It's quite annoying. For me it's clearly a bug that should be fixed and is worth fixing. Please Apple, fix this bug.
    I also noticed a tremendous amount of crashes while using the export to Quicktime function. While I was trying Keynote in iWork '09 I exported several times to Quicktime and had several crashes just by using this function.

    Hi all.
    I do exactly have the same problem since Keynote 4.0 and was hoping that it's solved in Keynote 5.0.
    As soon as I try to export a previously recorded slideshow, (that has a quicktime-movie embeded on one slide) and one or two little textanimations on it. The embeded movie stops playing when the first animation starts in the exported quicktimemovie. When I view my recorded presentation, everything looks fine.
    I do also believe, that the Quicktime-Export-Function does not work correctly because of timeline differences or so.
    I would really appreciate a fix, specially becaused I upgraded in the hope that this should have been solved since around 10 months now....
    Too bad.
    P.S. As a workaround I am currently using also screenflow to record a recorded keynotepresentation to finally receive a movie. But that is kind of awkward too....

  • One Keynote slide + one 7.4 MB mp3 exported to QuickTime = 110.2 MB MOV ???

    OK... Title says most. Combining a single Keynote slide with a 7.4 MB MP3 and exporting to QuickTime is giving me a HUGE file of 110.2 MB.
    Same slide, same MP3, exported to Flash yields an 8.2 MB SWF.
    What's up with that??
    I just want one slide to open up in full-screen, and click to play one song with the slide... and a file small enough to email.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, the magic key seems to be a Custom frame rate of 0.01. With a frame rate that low, I'm getting file sizes of just larger than the music file. Set Keyframe and Data Rate to Automatic.
    The reason why this doesn't happen with Flash is because flash does things the way iPhoto does. Display one static image and leave it there until it needs to change. Keynote COULD do that with QuickTime, but it doesn't
    Also, if that H.264 gamma change is causing you problems, I just found you can use PNG. Make the same change to the frame rate (you don't have to alter anything else for PNG) and you get a file just a skosh bigger, but closer to your original colors.

  • Exporting uncompressed Quicktime files

    I have been asked to create an uncompressed Quicktime HDV file of a short film that I edited in Premiere Pro CS3... Having done some research, it appears that this is not as easy as it at first sounded. I know you can export an uncompressed .AVI file, but I can't seem to find a way to export an uncompressed Quicktime. Is there a codec/plugin avilable that would allow me to do this, or can I export the .AVI and convert it to an uncompressed Quicktime file somehow?
    Any help is very, very greatly appreciated.

    Export cannot crop selectively, it's all or nothing.
    You need to make your edits such that the program monitor shows you what you want to see. If you don't see what you want in the program monitor then it will not magically change when you export.
    If you don't want the footage to be "bigger" then don't scale it up. If you want to hide something use other editing techniques like masking or picture-in-picture.
    You will find links to many
    free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

  • Cannot export to QuickTime file with PE8

    Hello,
    I have an issue when I want to export my video choosing My Computer, QuickTime. The e^port cannot start, APE8 stop immediatly after launching export (message : unxpected errors; PE8 must closed).
    I already uninstall and reinstall Quicktime (last version), same pb. I also uninstall and reinstall PE8, with the update, same issue.
    I do not know what to do.
    I cannot have files MOV to export to Youtube (also the direct export to Youtube from PE8 is still not working, I have a serveur error, already dscribed by other members, but means to have no solution)
    Eric

    I'm sorry, Eric. I have no solution for you. If your computer is crashing whenever you select Share/Computer/Quicktime and your unable to install a program update, there may be a problem at the operating system level.
    How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is onyour C drive?
    The best solution, assuming your computer is well tuned, would be to upgrade to version 11 of the program. Version 8 was notoriously buggy and does not work at all well with AVCHD video.
    Video 11 edits AVCHD natively and has been optimized for this format. You may be able to find a good deal on the software on Amazon. It would certainly save you a lot of aggravation if you spent the few dollars on it.

  • Premiere and Media Encoder Crashing During Export of Quicktime Files

    Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC crashes when exporting Quicktime H.264 files. Sometimes the export will work, sometimes it crashes the app. After crashing, the app will freeze while loading "ExporterQuictimeHost.bundle" and requires a hard re-boot of the system to startup again.
    I have tried removing some Quicktime codecs from the Quicktime library folder, as suggested in other threads. This has not solved the problem.
    I am editing with Quicktime ProRes 4444 files.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's some system info:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    OS X 10.9.4
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    36 GB Memory
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1536MB
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
    Cuda Driver Version 6.5.14
    Creative Cloud CC 2014

    I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.
    It gets about 75% of the way through and bails with this error message:
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    That's really helpful. Addtionally, when I tried to export out of Media Encoder, I was greeted by an extremely loud bleating goat noise when it failed. Nice. I had a room full of clients. Thanks Adobe.
    I'm seriously doubting the claim of "Pro" at this point.
    This was not beta tested with a ****.

  • Garageband export to quicktime gives "error opening movie"

    hi
    i've tried to export a movie without success. i imported video from imovie and added 3 audio tracks from itunes. i exported at full resolution several times to quicktime, but each time gives "error opening movie" could not open movie dialogue box. i exported it to idvd and succeeded. but i need quicktime. any help?
    thanks
    bill

    I have tried trashing the plist file. The files look fine through the media manager when copied to the other profile. They look like they are suppose to. The small videos also look fine when played on that computer. Unfortunately our other mac pro computer doesn't have final cut so i can't open and play proress files and my laptop, due to the extreme resolution can't be played on my laptop with final cut studio installed. Tomorrow i'm going to install the proress decoder on the one mac pro to check the files and make sure the self contained is checked but i'm almost positive on that. Other than nuking the profile i don't know what else to do. This is really weird.
