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).

    Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?

    Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library.  How is the flash drive formatted?  If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
    If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Tbl exporting to Quicktime mov file

    need to make a mov file from a timeline with SD dv avi video.  On a win 7 i7 920 PC machine--I can export as avi fine but one person wanted an mov file so they can re-edit.
    I chose export,  Quicktime, Ntsc dv and the video codec 1st choice is dv25 ntsc when I export I get and error as below
    Adobe Media Encoder--error compiling movie--unable to create or open output file-seems like I did make a mov file bak in CS4.
    Am I doing this right

    Make sure that you have gone to
    www.apple.com and downloaded QuickTime onto your computer.  This
    download gives you the codecs you need to make QuickTime files.

  • I record a video of my screen in Quicktime.  I then open the video in iMovie and do the most basic of edits: cutting portions of the .mov I don't need.  The edited file is ~2-3 times bigger than the original Quicktime file.  What gives?

    So my question is, how do I get iMovie to edit the file without changing the size of it?  It can't improve the quality of the Quicktime movie by making the file size bigger, so why does it do this?  The Optimization options do not help the situation.  Any insight into this is greatly appreciated!

  • Upgrading to iTunes 10.6.0.40 imports MPEG-4 movie files as "QuickTime movie file" not "MPEG-4 Video file"

    Recently updated itunes to 10.6 and since then adding any new MPEG-4 Video file itunes is flagging as QuickTime.
    This creates an issue since my Apple TV doesn't recognize these types of files in iTunes.
    To validate it's the itune upgrade, previous "MPEG-4 Video file" entries added and played on Apple-TV were imported an now show as "QuickTime Video file"
    Thx

    This problem has been resolved after the ATV update was received. 
    The ATV now recognizes the videos marked in itunes as Quick time eventhough they are Mpeg-4 video files.

  • QuickTime Movie File-Uploads on iWeb but no playback on the internet

    Hello, Forum Techies,
    Always trying to go beyond and want a movie clip on my website,  but I may have met my match
    I have the following QuickTime Movie file uploaded to the web page as noted below.
    The file extension is MVI_038-#3-13. The file size is 663.8 Mbs
    The website space is 1 GB using 10 Mbs upload speed.
    The movie clip does not play on the website.
    Question arising: I believe the space is sufficient on the website, but not sure if it this is a internet speed issue? I have other movies mounted successfully on another website, but their file size is not a huge and the webspace is not as much.
    Therefore, I am curious to know if it is an internet speed issue?
    Here is the URL for the page that I have included the movie clip:
    http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Backgrounder_Trail_Scouting.html
    It's a well visited site internationally and because it is a major project in our County, documenting the construction of a new trail is an interesting feature to include on this website.
    Hope there is a solution. And, YouTube is not an alternative because for some strange reason I cannot get signed on no matter what efforts have been made with Google and I am not able to find a channel that applies to this kind of a movie, which is not entertainment, musical, etc. It's an information-based movie.
    Thanks!

    This is the movie :
    http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Media/MVI_0368-%233-13.MOV
    It's not an extension, it's the filename. Sanatize it.
    Size = 632MB (Megabyte)
    663.8Mbs = Megabits per seconds = speed
    Videosize = 1280 x 720px
    Filesize after download = 10.3MB (download stops at this size)
    Nobody will wait for this.
    Resize you movie to something smaller ie. width x height = smaller filesize.
    Use common sense.

  • 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.

  • How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

    hello everyone.
    I have a little problem.
    I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
    These are the steps I've taken.
    I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
    When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
    This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
    Thanks
    -r

    The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
    1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
    2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.

  • File sizes increase steadily when exporting to Quicktime movies

    I have a series of short (90 seconds or so) little segments in a sequence that are very similar to each other that I've just created one after another in the timeline. There are about 50 of these. They are each made up of still frames (a .PSD Photoshop graphic), overlayed text (Premiere text) and audio - no video. As I create each little segment, I'm exporting them to a Quicktime movie (H.264, 50% compression) and the Range set to Work Area Bar to control what gets exported. Although the resulting Quicktime movies play just fine, the problem is that as I get further and further down the timeline creating these movies the resulting Quicktime movie files get larger and larger. The first movie is around 12MB, the second around 16MB, the third around 21MB, and so on until the 50th one is over 400MB. Again, the movies play just fine, but there's no reason I can see that the 50th one is so gigantic (over 400MB in size) compared to the first one (at around 12MB).
    This is a Windows XP Pro machine with 4GB RAM using Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0.

    Silly question:
    Are you sliding the Work Area Bar down the timeline to cover the new segments, or are you just extending it?

  • CS6 won't export movies with previously exported Quicktime .mov files in them?

    On several different projects now, I've made videos which include previously exported CS6 Quicktime .mov clips in the timeline. When I go to export these new projects, Premiere will start compiling and exporting for a few moments, but then will stop and freeze up the program or even my Mac, or it will show an error message. I've tried changing my settings and everything. The only way my projects will export correctly is if they contain NO old .mov files. I'm trying to do a demo reel, so I kind of need those old files. They aren't even old, I exported them out of CS6 a few months ago. Why isn't Premiere exporting correctly and is there any way to fix this?

    There are files, and there are files... the important thing is what is inside the file?
    MOV (or AVI or MP4 or ???) is a wrapper that may contain many things... not all of those things edit well
    Report back with the details of your file, use the program below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

    Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    Please, please can someone tell me why?

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.
