Flash 8 won't export to quicktime

I've had issues with Flash before, but this is the first
problem that has actually been *insane*. I'm trying to export some
animated scenes to QuickTime movies (exporting as an .avi gives
horrible quality no matter what the settings are), and I get an
error message:
"The installed version of QuickTime does not support this
type of Macromedia Flash movie.
Quicktime requires Macromedia Flash version 5 or before.
Please select "Version: Flash Player 5" in the Flash tab of
the Publish Settings dialog."
Now the annoying part is, I've already set the version to
Flash 5 in the Publish Settings dialog. And every time I get this
message I check the settings again to make sure the version did in
fact "stick" and hasn't switched itself back somehow. It hasn't.
I've set the version to Flash 5 just like the error message told me
to ... and it tells me I have to set the version to Flash 5.
Is the problem with Quicktime and not Flash? I tried updating
that and it still asks me to set the version to Flash 5 (which it
already is). Do I need to find an older version of Quicktime?
Someone PLEASE help.

I'm having the same exact problem. I thought maybe it was due
to one of those automatic updates or swamp gas.........

Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
Barry

Thank you both for the input.
I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
Much appreciated.

Flash 8 - trying to export as Quicktime

Hi - I am trying to export a flash movie as a qucktime file
.mov - I am working in Flash 8 - when I go to export it says
"The version selected in the Flash settings is not supported
by QuickTime. Please se the Flash version in the publish setting to
5 or lower."
When I choose 5 or lower it still doesn't work - has anyone
run into this problem.
Thanks - Eric

This is the exact problem I am having, I will be following
this thread. I'm also having the same problem with Flash MX, which
leads me to believe it is a Quicktime issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Flash CS4 won't export to .mov PLEASE HELP ME!!

Like the title says, i've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
I don't think it has anything to do with:
A: multiple scenes
B: actionscript directing to each scene
C: movieclips
since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
A: Motion tweens
B: importing .ai files to my library
C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.

Thank you Zombie. Specifying the length helped me export as a quicktime movie.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rubbish piece of coding in Flash CS4 that doesn't let you export a movie over 1 minute long without specifying the length of movie.
Ridiculous really. I expect this could be fixed in seconds by Adobe, but instead I'm left trawling the internet for hours wasting budget.

Slideshow Transitions in iPhoto 3 won't export to QuickTime

Hello,
Would anyone be able to offer any suggestions/solutions to the problem I'm having with Slideshow transitions in iPhoto? I like the Cube transition, for example, and it appears on the screen when I tell iPhoto to play a slideshow that I am developing, but when I go to export same as a QuickTime movie, the transition in effect is Dissolve and not the specified Cube.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sincerely,
ByTheLIghtOfQuiveringAspensMade

BTLQAM:
Can you give us some additional information regarding your setup: model, RAM, hard drive size and free space, system version, QT version, and exact iPhoto version?
You will have to update to iPhoto 5 in order to be able to get other than the dissolve transition in your iPhoto QT slideshows.

Keynote won't export to quicktime get a green screen.

Been using Macs for a long time but am new to Keynote '09. When trying to export a slideshow in Quicktime to use in iMovie, I get window with a progress bar and a green screen and a Quicktime file that plays back a green screen!
I have searched the forums and web and cannot find much about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The slideshow has just 9 slides with photos and animated transitions, no audio, no video. I want to use the file as my title sequence in an iMovie. I did try to export directly to iTunes and had no luck there.

Have you tried creating a simple three slide movie with just text and exporting that to see if ANYTHING will work?

Flash CS4 won't export SWF

I created a short animation using a series of photos stop-motion style, only about 18 frames long (as part of a larger project)
Whenever i try to export it into SWF (Either CTRL+ENTER or the FILE>EXPORT method) the time it takes is super-fast, but no file is created. When the export was done with a previous successful export, it simply dissapeared
How can i stop this?
Is the old file still there, wasting disk space??
Thank you

i doubt you have a long-term problem. you could quit and restart flash repeatedly to see if this is a recurring problem but i suspect it will occur, at most, rarely.
if that works for you, please mark this thread as answered.

Digital noise flashes in video when exporting a Quicktime.

FCP 6.06 - When exporting an SD QT for use in IDVD, I end up with flashes of multicolor video noise that is one or two frames long. Happened most recently four times in a thirty minute video. Source video is a variety of SD formats, Mini DV and DV/DVCPro. Anyone else see it or know who to fix it?

They are on the export. When I export again, they are in different places. Usually I can get a clean export after two or three tries if I bring the QT in and replace the glitches with the original timeline. Not an optimal fix I know. I have tried it with two different macs so the problem must be in the external drives or the cables as you suggest. This is an ongoing, years long contract and the media is spread over 5 drives.
I guess my next move would be to figure out if the glitched scenes all come from one specific drive or cable chain. Make sense?
Or I could spend money and consolidate all of the footage on one new modern Firewire 800 drive to go with my new Mac. Business doesn't quite allow too many expenditures right now unfortunately.

General error when exporting to Quicktime from FCE

I've built a slideshow with still photos, text, and audio. I've done this at least 20 times. When I start exporting to Quicktime, as I want to burn a dvd in iDVD, the export stops at 27% completed and I get a "General Error". there is no explanation. I've rendered the single sequence many times and it says ok. It plays fine in FCE but won't export to Quicktime. How do I correct the problem?

I think I had the same problem that you are now having. I would get unexpected errors when trying to:
1) Log and Transfer videos to external hard drives.
2) Save my exports to an external Hard Drive.
3) Copy large video files to the External Hard Drive.
Assuming that you are using an external hard drive, chances are that isn't formatted correctly. It cannot be formatted in FAT32 or else large files (usually video) over 4GB cannot transfer. It may be that the file you are trying to export is larger than 4GB. If it is currently formatted FAT32 it needs to be formatted to Mac OS Extended. Hope I was of some help.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

"Export as Quicktime Movie" -- won't play on other computers

When I use the "Export as Quicktime Movie" option and try to play it back on a Mac without FCP installed, it is missing components and won't play back in Quicktime Player. Of course, I can export with various compressions and then it's fine, but sometimes I want that big "original" file. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Message was edited by: elisenew

You do need the codec you are exporting to installed in the other machine if you wish to play the exported file. A variety of codecs are available only with FCP installed.
A couple of possible solutions are a very high res H.264 or Download [ProRes decoder|http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac] to share a prores file between machines.

Is there a solution to this? I really need this to work!
Thanks!

Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

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

You should also compare EXACTLY what is inside a file that works -vs- a file that doesn't work
