Failure on exporting Qt Mov with sound synced

I have 2 problems.
First, Keynote can only export Qt video by creating 2 files separately, one is for video, the other is sound track. But I need the combination. Plz HOW?
Second, even worse is that the video and the audio don't match properly. For the audio works fine but the slides move much slower as its normally played. it delays every time between the transition of two slides, which is especially obvious when there is no transition effect between the two.
It frustrates me for a whole week but I can't still find ways to fix it...
Is my wrong operation or the software *****?
God helps...

Hello Patrick
That's what I thought and that is how things worked on the old G4 with FCP 3 but unfortunately there is now a significant difference between a self-contained and reference file movie. The colors in the self-contained movie are washed out and the deep blues are now light purple so there appears to be shifting in the hues also.
Thanks
Tim

Just use the App called Photo Booth and send the MOV file as an attachment.

Exporting Reference Movies with Lion and QT X

Has anybody else had issues exporting Reference Movies from FCP7 under Lion?
When we open a Reference Movie created with FCP7/Lion in QT X 10.1 (the version that ships with Lion), we're only able to see the first frame of the movie, followed by black/blank video, and audio only.
Curiously, QT7 (on Lion) and QT X 10.0 (on Snow Leopard) are able to play these movies without a problem. However, a number of 3rd-party applications and devices that we use in our facility (most notably an Omneon Spectrum) choke on the reference movies in a similar manner to QT X 10.1.
We've got a support ticket open with Omneon, although they claim to have never heard of the problem, and are currently picking their way through the issue as well. However, there are scattered reports of others who are having similar problems.
For the sake of thoroughness, it's worth mentioning that this is a brand-new Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.2, and FCP 7.0.0; both fresh installs (apparently downgrading to SL is unsupported on this machine). We tried patching FCP to 7.0.3 with Pro Application Update 2010-02, which did not resolve the problem. We've since reverted to 7.0.0, to rule out the patch as the culprit. The reference movies in question do not contain any edits that would require a render, and everything's stored on a NAS that's accessible to the whole office (hence the fact that we're able to view the files on our Snow Leopard machines.
Picking apart the reference movie using Apple's Atom Inspector shows one curious detail in the alias data inside 'dref' atom inside of the reference movie (which is how QT figures out where the original media is). Rather than being a simple file pointer, the alias actually contains a whole bunch of information, including the "relative" path to the video data, relative to the original location of the reference movie, as well as the absolute path of that file, starting from the root of the filesystem. Both of these paths are presented in "Mac" and "Unix" formats, ie:
Mac: volume:folder1:folder2:filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
Key difference is the use of colons, rather than slashes to separate folders in the path. At least, that was the key difference prior to Lion. We've noticed that, while the SL machines export reference movies with paths that resemble the above, our Lion machine generates:
Mac: volume:folder1: folder2: filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
(Notice the spaces)
When we attempt to play the movies with our Omneon applications or in QT X 10.1, our NAS throws a whole bunch of 'File not Found' errors. Presumably, those spaces are the culprit. Removing the spaces with a hex editor completely mangles the QT movie, and renders it compltetely unplayable.
Unfortunately, the alias data inside the dref atom doesn't appear to be a standard Mac OS alias, and the only documentation of the alias file format (linked above) is hilariously out of date. Presently, the format is undocumented, and it appears that developers are discouraged from interacting with the files directly. In other words, I have no way of knowing whether or not the spaces are actually significant, or are a completely innocuous and documented part of the file format.
Has anybody encountered anything similar, or found a solution? I'm at a bit of a dead-end here, and would welcome any advice.

I totally understand where you're coming from; Apple's support of some of QuickTime's more advanced features has unfortunately been waning for some time now.
Avoiding the buggy parts of the program is always a good strategy, although the ability to quickly export reference movies is something that is absolutely vital to our workflow. Simply put, losing these files is an absolute dealbreaker.
Two things seem to be going on... FCP on Lion appears to be generating slightly malformed reference movies, and QT X 10.2 seems to be freaking out when it tries to play back those movies (while prior versions are seemingly able to work around the problem). I suppose this could have something to do with the introduction/evolution of QTKit and AV Foundation on Lion, although I'm surprised that this would be affecting FCP7, which was built around older APIs.

Exporting Quicktime .mov with audio

I searched for a solution to my problem for a while and haven't found any so I felt I'd finally ask.
I am exporting a movie in Premiere Pro 2.0 as a .mov. Yet everytime I export the audio quality is awful. The audio plays fine within premiere, and the video exports perfectly. I've tried uncompressed audio, and the result is a loud static sound. I've tried multiple compressors (oblivious to which I should be using) none of which offered good results (sometimes it was even silent). What settings should I be using? (By the way, the audio in the scene is .mp3 and .wav, but I felt using the uncompressed setting would be find since I wouldn't be recompressing the audio)
I'm sure this is a very basic issue that has been addressed multiple times, but I couldn't find a thread or resource on the internet that helped with this issue I'm having. Thank you for any help you can offer, I appreciate it.

I use the same settings, as you, with one exception - instead of 8-bit, choose 16-bit for the Sample Depth.
I also dislike using MP3 as a source. With the exception of tiny SFX files, I always convert these to PCM/WAV (Uncompressed) 48KHz 16-bit, before Import. That does NOT restore all the data lost with the MP3 compression (I hate the sound with MP3, but that's a different topic), but it gives me the best source to edit. I use Adobe Audition, but the free Audacity does a great job of this.
Hope that the 16-bit does the trick for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what are you using to play the resulting MOV?

Converting movies with sound

I just gor Quicktime pro after buying my SLVR L7 phone from singular. I wanted to put movies in it but needed to convert them. I FINALLY found out how to convert movies for my SLVR L7 but now they don't have sound. How can I convert MPEG movies into 3gpp with sound? I don't get the choice when exporting.

I had issues with this same thing on a number of music videos I pulled off of "enhanced" CD's. Sound would be fine in QT but the iPod format file would be soundless. I ended up having to use VLC to export the video to a new file (I think I streamed it to a new file) and convert that one with QT Pro.

Some movies with sounds others not

Hi,
My AppleTV can play video and audio perfectly with almost files (songs and movies) but htere are some movies which ATV can't play but iTunes does in my iMac. Some of them (but not all) are HD and some of them are from handbrake or Visualhub.
Why can't ATV play 5.1 sound? which I think it's the real problem. I have no 5.1 setbox device, I listen in streaming with my mac and watch smoothly synced movies with 2.0 sound. Should I have all my movies in 2.0 sound to play them? No 5.1 sound decode to 2.0 to listen it in my Samsung's flat TV?
thanks

Ian Parkinson has aqnswered to a question by me incorrectly. In Spain it's NOT illegal to do a private copy from a DVD which I own. I've lost some DVDs because I hacven't done any private copy. AppleTV lets me to do a private copy without to write a single DVD disc.
In Spain we have to pay a Canon to some "insatiable" artists asociation from letting us to do a copy from OUR bought DVDs.
So, please be informed before you post.
Again, my question. Do I need a external audio set box to listened the audio track for 5.1 audio, I thought it could be heard from TV speakers.

Quicktime no longer exporting my movies with file extensions

Hi all, QT is no longer exporting or saving movies with file extensions. The only way i can view extensions is to turn on all extensions in finder which means i get .app in my apps folder which i find looks naff, have i changed something to cause this?
Cheers

In the export or save dialog windows is a check box to "hide" the file extension.
Remove that check mark.

Export QuickTime movie with Compressor running in background

I've rummaged through the forums many times to figure out the absolute fastest way to get an FCP sequence compressed for DVD Studio Pro while maintaining the best quality. I always seem to come up with:
Export QuickTime Movie (not self contained) --> Compressor (DVD best quality settings)
This seems to work fine. I am currently exporting sequences in HDV 1080i60 and they take an extremely long time to export into QT movies. Because of that, I am editing a sequence, waiting for it to export, then dropping it into Compressor. At this point, FCP is available for editing again while Compressor is working, so I repeat the process. However, when I export to QT from FCP while Compressor is still running in the background it seems to take much longer to export.
Here is my question:
*Am I doing anything wrong by allowing Compressor to work while I am trying to export QT movies from FCP to the same drive?*
Is FCP actually taking longer to export, or is that my imagination? Would it be faster if I only did one at a time, or should it take the same amount of time either way? Am I putting the data on my final movies at risk by doing these things at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated as this is a time sensitive project. I am working in both FCP 5 and 6 on two different computers. 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB.

Compressor takes a lot of system resources. It will slow the computer down in other tasks.
Because Compressor can run unattended, why not take advantage of that?
Do your regular work that needs you to be there and run the Compressor Batch overnight or at other times when the system is idle.
Compressor's default destination for its processed files is the same directory as the original -writing the files to a different drive might help, at least that way your media drive is not reading and writing at the same time.

Export a Movie with with the chart only - no background

I need to integrate charts into a training film I am doing and I am having a problem. I need to export the chart to QT as the chart only so I can import it into Final Cut and use it as an overlay on top of other footage.
I understand transparency and "No background" come into play here be no matter how I export the chart/QT move has a background.
Is this even possible...how do I do this?
Thanks a lot.
M

1. You MUST set the background of each slide to NONE. It will look black I think (possibly white) but make absolutely sure it's set to NONE for every slide.
2. You must check the include transparency function in the QT export window
3. You MUST MUST MUST choose either PNG or Animation as the QT codec, and then you MUST choose Millions+ (not just Millions) as the color in the setting for that codec.
That will get you a QT movie with included alpha channel and no background.
If you need more details on how to get to those screens just post back.

How can I export a movie with audio that I have edited in logic 9 to a quicktime movie

I imported a quicktime movie into logic and added audio and effects but when i export it the original audio from the quicktime movie is still there even though it doesn't sound in logic!

Hi
One of teh final steps in the Export to Movie process is a dialog box where one can select which of the audio tracks embedded within the movie are included.
You must actively de-select those tracks that you do NOT want to include in the Export.

Loaded movie with sound problem

I have some movies with attached sound. The movie uses the
sound position property and preset cue times to drive action in the
movie. They play fine on their own but when they are loaded into
another movie using either loadMovie or loadMovieNum, the sound
does not play and the cue driven action don't work. I made sure to
set the _lockroot property to true in the loading clip with
loadMovie and also put it in the original movie and tried using
loadMovieNum.
What happened to the sound?

when instantiating your sound object try:

Problems with sound sync for HDV import (MPEG file)

I've imported a one hour tape from my Sony HDR-HC3 (HDV import), and within a few minutes the sound and video get out of sync when I play it. I have elements v4 and also tried version 8 (trial) which was better but still a second out of sync vs 4-5 seconds for v4. The imported files for both versions both play perfectly in Windows Media player with no sync problems.
I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with 4GB ram and a 4 core AMD processor which isn't struggling. In searching the web I've seen some old workaround solutions for similar problems which involved deinstalling quicktime, installing streamclip and a quicktime alternative and then converting the files imported by Elements. I am hoping there is a more straightforward solution within Elements which avoids having to go through this workaround.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for the pointer Neale. I tried converting the file with Streamclip (quite slow - about 1/3 play speed) and noticed there were some errors reported near the beginning. I reimported the HDV into Premiere Elements 4 but this time in a number of smaller sections. I think it may have been related to those errors because when I cut to a later section the sound was in back in sync where it previously had been out of sync. This seems to have solved it for me. If I get some time to have a play with the converting solution I'll post the results back here, but for now I can catch up with the video editing which has fallen behind a bit.
Thanks again.

Using a movie with sound in a drop zone

I want to use a movie, and its sound, in a theme drop zone. The movie plays just fine, but no sound. I tried using the inspector and turn up the sound (it's set at zero) but no luck. I know I can drop music into the background of a theme, but how can I use both a movie and sound?
Thanks

Thank you for the quick feedback. The fact of the matter is disappointing. Is there another software I should look at, to convert still images (I use Photo to Movie to manipulate those) and movies (I use iMovie) into DVDs?
Thanks again,
John Nall

Export to MOV with embedded Movies -- sound erratic

Help! I've trying to do too much with Keynote, I'm sure: I need to make a multi-media presentation with bg music, VO narration, standard Keynote transitions AND embedded movie clips -- then exported as a MOV file. When I do export it, and play the MOV file in QT, the embedded movie will play nicely, but only the first second or two of it's embedded audio will play.....can't figure this out. Anyone recognize this fail?
Ultimately, I'm wanting to bring the file up into iDVD and make a dvd presentention for distribution; will it matter that this happens in the MOV file?

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....
