Exporting .FLA or .SWF to Quicktime .MOV

I recently upgraded my iTunes and then Quicktime to version 7.1.3 - After that when I try to export a finished Macromedia 'Flash' (Professional 8) file to Quicktime .mov I get an error that "An error occurred because a required QuickTime component could not be found." Can you tell me what changed? What needs replacement? What needs reinstall? Thanks.

QuickTime can open Flash (.swf) files that are "published" as version 5, or lower. Newer versions of Flash can still create these files.
You'll also need to "Enable Flash" in the QuickTime Player to view these Flash tracks. This is new to QT 7.1.3 when Flash was disabled for security issues.

Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion

I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!
Dan

You are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD?

Converting a swf to quicktime mov file

I created a swf file useing Flash and need to convert this to a mov file. I watched a training video and under Publish Settings > Format their should be a Quicktime mov option. I do not have this option on my CS5 Flash version. Also, if I try to export as a mov file, nothing happens. I have QuickTime Player version 7 on my computer. It just will not show up as an option in Flash. How do I convert a swf file to a mov file without going online and purchasing a converter?

I tried using the movie export option. A popup comes up titled "Recording Flash Content." It freezes and does not ever finish creating the file. I tried downgrading the player from Flash Player 10 to Flash Player 5. This did not work either.

Exporting from STP to a quicktime movie?

Can anyone tell me why STP exports such a small file size.
Example...
I Send a sequence from FCP to STP as a multitrack project.
I then added music in STP and exported the master mix as a quicktime movie in h.264 format with no compression.
It cam out at just over 200 MB. Which is way to compressed.
So then I exported it from STP to FCP and then exported the same movie as quicktime h.264 uncompressed and it came out at over 2GB.
Seems like a major waste of time having to send it back to FCP just to export a decent size quicktime movie.

When you export your mix "Using compressor" adjust the video compression so it's more to your liking. Or use the preserve Video setting which will pass the video through unchanged from the original.

InDesign CS6 interactive fla and swf files to .mov files

I have created an interactive file with photos in InDesign CS6 and would like to be able to drop it into iMovie to use as part of a slideshow. How do I convert the swf or fla file to an iMovie compatible file? Any direction would be appreciated.

.. or, Plan B), use QuicktimeX' ability of Screen-Recordings to record while you playback those files in their app.
The resulting mov can be treated as any other movie in iMovie.
Vector-graphics, interactive formats, etc are of no use in an video-editor ...

Cannot export quicktime movie from iPhoto

latest imac (brand new)
iphoto slideshow...
when i try to export a slideshow as a quicktime movie...it renders the quicktime movie...then when it goes into the "saving" phase...it just keeps saving and never ends...
but it will let me save a high quality mp4 movie...
it seems to be something with the quicktime format
(i posted to the iphoto forum...no replies...it seems to relate the quicktime format...so thought maybe someone here could help)

I had the same problem and figured it out. I had a FLA from the office and took it home to work on. At the office I was exporting to a folder on the staging server and had my SWF and HTML Publish settings set up that way. At home I tried to export the same FLA to quicktime (along came the aforementioned error). I made a folder on my local drive, set my publish settings for my SWF and HTML to export there, published, and low and behold, I was able to export to Quicktime. Problem solved.

QuickTime movie in Keynote 3 want to export Keynote as QT

So I have a Keynote presentation. It is mostly images but 3 slides play small Quicktime movies. Interviews I did on DV, converted to 320x240 using Sorenson V3 and IMA 4:1 audio. In Keynote 3.0, they now have controls. They play great.
But I need to export the presentation so others can use it without keynote.
The only option seems to be exporting it as as a Quicktime movie.
Actually, with trial and error, the Quicktimes in the Quicktime play great. BUT are missing controls!
So anyone viewing the interactive Quicktime from a CD-R has no choice but to watch each clip. Longest is 17 minutes so a pause or stop is an option that is needed.
Does anyone know how to get those QT controls (or at least stop or pause) into the movie inside the exported interactive Quicktime from Keynote?
Is there a 3rd party solution? I'm desperate.
Alternatively, if anyone knows how to do same but as a Flash file, that would be fine too.
This was problem in Keynote 2.0 as well. My presentation size is big enough.
Considering the convergence of audio and video all over Apple product line, I just don't get why this was not considered for the 3.0 update. I want to export my lectures for students to self run. I'm probably not the only university professor who shows video and would like Apple to deal with this ASAP.

If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

Black frame in embedded quicktime movies in Keynote when exporting to quicktime movie

I've included some quicktime movies made in Photoshop in my Keynote presentation. When viewing the Keynote presentation from within keynote, the movie play perfectly. However when I export the presentation to a Quicktime move, the first or last frame of the embedded movie is black creating a flicker effect on play.
The quicktime movies have been embedded as loopable animations using the animation build in function 'Start movie' (after transition with 0 delay).
Is there a setting that will prevent the black frame on export or is this a bug?

Exporting errors: the quicktime movie is "squished".

Hi. I'm exporting in HD and my quicktime movie is (vertically) squished. I appear "fatter" than I really am... but just barely.
I've tried many settings, but am currently compressing to 1280 x 720.
(I eventually want to get it to youtube, but for now even the file looks wrong / squished.)
{in case it matters, I'm using the Kodak Zi6, but I can't imagine that is the prob.)
Thanks so much in advance. I need a hero
Brad

Hi Tom,
In a different thread, you adviced for Kodak zi6 users to:
" Make sure you set the 720p30 preset in FCE before you make a sequence. "
I feel like an idiot but cannot find that setting in FCE. How do I do that? Thanks.

Keynote '08 cannot export as Quicktime movie

I purchased KN '08 to create presentations. It is updated to version 4.0.2. I have tried for the last 3 hours to export my presentation as a Quicktime movie. No matter what functions I turn off, or change, nothing seems to work. In fact, after the 3rd attempt, Keynote erased some photos out of my presentation. When I tried to re-add them, Keynote said it couldn't because I didn't have access to the file, or there was damage to the files. Luckily I had back-ups I could access.
Is there a way to make this work? Why would Apple put out a product like this that doesn't work?
Robby

ditto. I have not been able export any of my presentations. Also, I could not get the recording to work consistently and correctly. I can't even get my PowerMac G5 with 5 GB RAM to play the slide show correctly.
I found that the only work around is using Snapz Pro X while stepping through the the slide show. This creates a high quality QT movie.
Keynote is not the only problem. Quick Time does not work properly either. Some movies, even high def movies, play flawlessly and some I take at only 640 x 480 gives me a "strobing" (flashing of white). This has happened in movies added to Keynote, movies streamed through Safari, and even some movies played in Quick Time Pro itself.
I thought I had a lemon MacBook Pro, since I'm now on my third logic board/video card since I purchased last July, but I think it is also a software issue. I was hoping that Leopard would magically repair the problems with Quick Time, but it has not.
Any suggestions in how to fix this would be appreciated. Why does some QT play without a problem and others so nasty? What is the ideal settings for a QT export? What is ideal resolution for movies included in Keynote to play without "strobing"?

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?

Should I export captured clips as Quicktime movies?

Do I need to export my captured clips as Quicktime movies if I want to import them as source clips in other projects?
I had been importing directly from the capture scratch folder, but this resulted in mono audio tracks, rather than stereo. Everything else looked fine...
This problem has been driving me nuts...perhaps this is the explanation.

I figured it out elsewhere.

Issues exporting QuickTime movie

Hello there,
I am working on a video project that includes HD video and still images. When I export my project to a QuickTime movie (either compressed or not) it always shows some kind of really strange jumps repeats one or the other image of the same sequence, its like a "hickup", or shows a pixelated image for a second before parts of the video play. I realize is only with the video, not with the images. And it happens always in the same place.
If you could take a look at this example and tell me what you think, or what the problem could be I would be very glad to hear from you!

Thank you!!

Stepping through the content, I see both the "skip back" (hiccup) and the pixellation you mentioned. In the first case, a number of the frames used during the transition are repeated when the transition finishes. As to the "pixellation," it looks as if sub-block decoding was interrupted before completion and render/display prematurely. Both appear to only be present during very short cross-dissolve transitions between video segments. Not sure if they are being generated by the transition effect software alone or in combination with the reduced frame rate, low data rate, and/or possible "B-framing" of content. (Not knowing the settings used, it is difficult to analyze specifics here.) In addition, I also noted you have "green fringing" which is due to the "odd pixel" dimensions used (600x337). Suggest you try something like 608x342 or 598x336 to see if you can eliminate it. (I.e., most efficient encoding occurs when H.264 dimensions are divisible by 16 but using dimensions divisible by 2 will usually help here. Optimum encoding dimensions and most exact aspect ratio dimensions intersect at 768x432 or 512x288.)

How to export an IMovie as a small file quicktime movie

I have searched and searched for answers or tutorials explaining how to export an IMovie as a quicktime movie that is small enough for emailing and posting to the internet. If I use the default setting my quicktime movie ends up being over 500MB which is way to large for sharing. I tried exporting using the "custom" or "compression" settings but don't understand what H 264,DV Pal, etc. means.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To get a movie to that size, you can 1) make it shorter. 2) make it a smaller dimension. Like scale it down from 1920x1080 to 320x240 3) Take away quality by reducing the bit rate, reducing the number of key frames, etc. 4) Reduce the frame rate from 30 frames per second down to maybe 15 frames per second. The resulting movie would be postage stamp size and not very good. Use h.264 because it compresses very well.
By far the best way to send a movie is to post it to YouTube or similar site in full resolution and then link to it in your email.
