How to export a multitrack quicktime mov?

Hello,
So I'm trying to export a multitrack quicktime movie, so that my clients on the other end can have all 6 audio tracks laid out on their end. I've tried assigning roles to each track, and exporting using the option (export as multitrack quicktime movie), but it always ends up collapsing all audio tracks into one single track.
Has anyone found a more reliable workaround for this?
Specs. FCPX 10.1.4, OSX 10.10.2

You have to set how you want the roles to be exported in the settings tab.
Use the "Add Audio Track" button to create as many audio tracks as you need, and use the popups to switch the roles on or off, as desired, per track.

Exporting MPEG-4 Quicktime movie

I'm trying to export an iMovie MPEG-4 project to Quicktime. The movie size (all clips sizes added together) is around 64MB. I'm setting 'full quality.' The result is a 13MB movie that Quicktime cannot open (simply 'The movie could not be opened').
If I export with 'expert settings' to MPEG-4 it works. I get a 45MB movie out of it that Quicktime can actually play. But why doesn't it work if I just choose 'full quality'? With 'expert settings' the are lot of parameters to set, and honestly I have no idea what are the best settings. What I want out of it is a movie with the same quality as the incoming clips. Since it was reduced to 45MB, I assume it's further compressed. Also, I would prefer that it was more user friendly without a lot of parameters to set. My wife will never be able to use it if she has to go through a lot of settings. Is there an easy, automatic way to do this?

Full Quality exports to a QuickTime movie that's the
same type and quality as the project itself. So a DV
project exports to a DV movie, but an MPEG-4 project
exports to an MPEG-4 movie. (The project type always
determines the export movie type.) Usually the Full
Quality movie isn't good for sharing for it is too
large.
All the other "Compress movie for" popUp menu
selections create an MPEG-4 movie too, suitable for
the item shown in the menu.
There are other ways to export simply too. They all
begin with choosing Expert Settings and hitting the
Share button.
Note the two popUp menus at the bottom of the window
that opens. Use the "Export" popUp to set the type of
export you want. In your case, "Movie to MPEG-4".
Then you can configure your export two ways:
1. Click the "Options" button and configure your own
settings. Not easy to do unless you know quite a lot
about QuickTime.
Or;
2. Set the "Use" popUp to "Broadband - High" or some
other configuration. This popUp lets you pick a
"recommended" group of export settings, eliminating
the need to configure your own.
The various categories in the "Use" popUp are
associated with the purpose of the movie, letting you
pick settings best suited for everything from
high-speed networks to dial-up connections.
Note too that after you set the "Use" popUp, you can
click the "Options" button to examine those settings
and adjust any you want. The bottom of that window
tells you the expected size of the export and other
useful information.
Many of the "Use" popUp menu settings are similar to
the "Compress movie for" settings in the iMovie
export dialog. But "Use" settings are more
configurable and more details are shown.
Karl
TIP: it can take a long time to export an iMovie
project. When testing the quality of a particular
export, don't export the entire project. Use the
"Share selected clips only" button in the export
dialog to export a minute or so.
Good idea. Why didn't I think of this? I just tried to export the whole movie repeatedly. The interesting thing is, if I just export a single clip, the resulting movie can be opened by Quicktime (as opposed to the whole movie). Alas, the quality is awfull. The size has been reduced from 9MB to 2MB, so obviously 'full quality' does not preserve the quality.
Also, exporting as MPEG-4 movie (.mp4) doesn't work either, again it reduces the quality. Exporting to QuickTime, but choosing the MPEG-4 coder works, though. There are some settings to choose, but most are straightforward, except 'key frames'. I have no idea what it means, I just set it to 'automatic'? I don't really know how to set the quality slider either. I guess I can experiment, and set it so that the size of the output is approximately the same as the input. I would assume that that means there is no quality loss?
Once I have set up this, it seems iMovie remembers the settings (are those project specific?), and then my wife can just use those without modifying anything.

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

How do I import a quicktime movie?

Hi,
I think this is a super simple question, How do I import a
quicktime movie onto my page? I presume you go to
insert>media>? not to sure what comes next though? Is it
shockwave,applet,active x or plugin?
Thanks,
Beth H

There's not a default insert behavior for this built into
Dreamweaver, but a
quick search on the Exchange show that there is an extension
for this,
although I've not used it. Do a search for "quicktime" here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn120#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=E xchange%20Search
Make sure you set the program dropdown to Dreamweaver to
minimize the number
of hits. Should be the second one on the list: "Insert a
QuickTime Movie,
V1.0.1".
Hope this works for you. There is some additional information
about the
extension on the detail page that you might want to look at
to ensure
everything works properly.
Best regards,
Chris

Cant export to a Quicktime movie! Export fails.

Im trying to export to a Quicktime movie.
I keep getting the error message,
"Operation could not be completed. OSStatus Error -9459."
I got the export to work once and since that I keep getting the error message and failure.
The slide show originally had a couple of Quicktime movies in it as slides.
When I took them out, the export worked once.
But now it simply wont export.
What can I do to fix this?

Terence,
Youre a genius!
It worked.
(My machine was going to sleep while I was trying to export.
I changed settings to prevent sleeping and the render completed.)
Thanks for the help.

ERROR MESSAGE: Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie

I keep getting this message every 2 or 3 files that I try to export a keynote presentation with audio as a movie file.
I'm trying to export movies from presentations that are around 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 min long with audio.
Sometimes Keynote '09 exports the files and sometimes it doesn't.
No idea why.
The exact message says:
Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie
There is not enough disk space or there was a problem with the file. Error -1
I have 28 GB of disk available.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Kyn. I checked for missing audio icons, but they are all visible. Besides, I exported different batches of slides, such as 11-20 and 21 - 30 and 11-12, all with the same result. So, it is not just one slide causing the problem.
I was able to save the entire presentation as an iWork 05 document, then export it as QuickTime from Keynote 2 with success. I'd like to get it working in Keynote 3 as well.

Your slideshow cannot be exported as a QuickTime movie.

Hi,
I have created an Keynote presentation and had exported it many times, over and over, since I need it to be exported. Today, I did it three times, and when I went to change the preference for exporting...
I was using Custom > H.264 @ 60frames @ Key all frames @ Multipass.
I wanted to change to > DV-PAL > @ 30frames @ Quality Best @ Scan progressive @ 4:3.
When I tried to export, 1/3 down the export I got the Error -50.

I have enough disk space but what can be wrong with the file?
I have unchecked exit after last slide.
I need answer fast. I cant rebuild the whole presentation.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply.
I used the default "Full Quality, Large" settings, and the Keynote I'm working on is based on Keynotopia's iPhone-mockup/wireframe slides, so they are 640x960 in size. Here is the export screen:
This is on Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest version of Keynote from the App Store.

Anyone know how to get subtitles into Quicktime movies?

With Quicktime now supporting subtitles. Does anyone know how import subtitles into Quicktime movies?
After following the instructions from Apple's support pages for timed text, I tried pasting in timed text. This displays text below the video in an ugly black bar, but isn't recognised as subtitles by Quicktime. Ideally, I'd like to convert srt files into a compliant format, but without knowing the correct format, it's a little difficult.

There haven't been any really clear instructions on how to get subtitles into QuickTime movies yet. Apple has posted a QuickTime component that will convert an SCC file into QuickTime and you'll find that here.
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ClosedCaptionImporter/index.html
Also, a discussions user has posted instructions on how to CC a QuickTime movie in this thread.

Exporting Custom Resolution Quicktime Movie with Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio

I want to export some 16x9 sequences (and others) at different resolutions with different pixel aspect ratios.
I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie, but I get a codec error (with my required H.264 & AAC audio).
I have tried exporting using Quicktime conversion, but there is nowhere to enter a custom pixel aspect ratio (if they added that as an option in “preserve aspect ratio”, that would be nice).
I have tried exporting using Compressor, but it doesn't seem to accept my setting of pixel aspect ratio (HDV 1080i 16:9)—at least when I play back the video it is not using wide pixels.
Thanks for any suggestions.
G5

I would like to have arbitrary control of the pixel frame size on export as well as arbitrary control of the pixel aspect ratio. However, in this case I specificially want to export some video in a 4:3 pixel arrangement (such as 360x270) but have its display be 16:9 via non-square (i.e. 4:3) pixel aspect ratio.
In that sense, yes, I want to have something play back at 16:9, but at least some of my attempts to export video are squished at 4:3.
While it may be possible to adjust the display in the Quicktime Player, the AVC video syntax as specified by ISO and MPEG standards bodies allow the specification of the pixel aspect ratio (actually sample aspect ratio in the standard) within the bitstream, and when it is there, the latest versions of Quicktime will (from my experience) render the video with the correct aspect ratio.

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.

Can not export to a quicktime movie

So, I've spent the past two weeks putting this wedding video together on final cut express HD 3.5.1 and I'm all set to burn it to a DVD. I figured the easiest way to do this would be through iDVD. iDVD recommends that, while in FCE, I choose the "Export to quicktime movie" command to create a quicktime file that I can then drag and drop to iDVD. Sounds easy enough, but I simply can not export my project to QT in FCE. Every time I attempt to do so, one of two things happens: 1) after about a second of "writing audio and video" it quits w. the following error message: "file error: unknown file" or 2) the entire project is "written," but the created QT file will not open up and does not give a helpful explanation as to why.
By no means am I married to iDVD or QT if anybody has any other suggestions as to how I can feasibly get my FCE project somehow burned onto a DVD. But if anybody has any suggestions w/ or w/o exporting to QT, please please please help me as soon as you can. This is my sister's wedding video and she and her husband will be moving to colorado next week! I really need to get this to her before then.
My scratch disk is an external HD - USB-HDD (FAT32) Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I have to plead ignorance regarding the firewire "drive" that you're referring to. My USB-HD is connected with a firewire cable. I'm not familiar with the distinction between this type of connection and a "firewire drive."
You might be interested to know I was able to successfully export a ten-minute DVD clip (with multiple tracks and rendered video) excerpted from my final cut project and subsequently burn it to a DVD. It didn't look like it had exported successfully, because it was still a .fcp file. I simply changed it to a .mov and changed the default opener from FCE to Quicktime and "voila" I had a quicktime movie. Too bad I can't get the same thing to work for the two-hour project.
Nonetheless, the fact that I was able to get the clip on a DVD gives me confidence that somehow, some way I can convert my whole project to a quicktime file. It's my hope that someone will read this forum and burst forth with a fresh, imaginative approach keeping in mind I'm not about to run out and spend two hundred bucks on a third hard drive I don't need.
Thanks for your suggestions. Please keep them coming if you have any other ideas.

How to export a iTunes HD movie file?

I was wondering if it's possible to export a full res HD Quicktime movie as an HD iTunes movie? I know how to export a Quicktime movie to an iTunes movie but don't see an option to export an HD iTunes movie (the 720p quality like when you purchase an HD movie from the iTunes store). I want to be able to watch my 1080p work on Apple TV in the best quality. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I want to be able to watch my 1080p work on Apple TV in the best quality.
The TV device is limited to max of 720p playback. While the TV1 did have an option to scale content for output as 1080i or 1080p, this was discontinued with the TV2 since 1080p native HDTVs will automatically rescale the negotiated input as/if needed for proper viewing. To maintain compatibility with the TV1 device, Apple presets will export 720p content only if the source file is larger than or equal to these dimensions and the frame rate is 25 fps or less. They will not allow you upscale smaller dimension files. Thus, your 1080p source files will be exported as either 720p24 or 540p30 files depending on the source frame rate. If you have an TV2 device and wish to ensure a 720p30 output, then use a free third-party app like MPEG Streamclip or HandBrake. Both have TV2 specific conversion options.

Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD, Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD

Hello,
So I've just finished a 30 minute long project on Final Cut Express. I want to get this project onto a DVD-R (holds 4.7 GB) so I can get it to a television station where it will be aired. I exported the project to my desktop as a Quicktime file. The file is 22 GB. This doesn't seem right. What do I need to compress this file to get it onto a DVD-R with minimal loss of quality? I used iDVD to get a 36 minute version of this project onto DVD and it worked great. The thing is, if I'm giving the 30 minute version to a television station, the movie shouldn't have the interactive DVD title screen at the beginning, so I need to find another way to compress the movie. Any advice?? Thanks.

Hi
To get Maximum quality over to TV-Station - I would Copy back to miniDV tape (100% quality) and let them use a Camera or tape-deck to play it.
(BTW - DVD is as standard SD-Video - so HD material will not be any better - in some cases it even get worse)
Else if DVD is a must.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things to know
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Drop it into the Auto-Play box (top left one in organization menu in iDVD)
Use a Very simple theme - eg "Brushed Metal" (old themes)
Drop a black photo here to make it invisibly
• Now it will Auto-Start and end on a Black frame - There are no - No Menu choice else.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Problems then
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving
Yours Bengt W

Exporting 4 channel Quicktime movies

Does anyone know how to export a 4 channel quicktime movie using quicktime pro? I can't seem to figure it out. I know quicktime can handle more than two channels because i have captured 4 channel audio using a Aja Kona 2 card and breakout box. Any help would be great.

Have had some limited success creating H.264/5.1 AAC clips and less spectacular results with H.264/5.1 AC3 files. Unfortunately, QT will not output Dolby Digital to my decoder via the optical line but will allow Pro Logic II playback. What is worse, the AC3 file will not playback in VLC due to the unrecognized fourCC (4 character code for this format combination).
In any case, you simply need to merge your video track (in whatever format you use) with an AAC audio file converted from either separate (mono) audio tracks, two stereo tracks (in your case), or a single multichannel PCM/AIFF track using the add and scale option. If you have an extracted AC3 file and a working QT AC3 codec, you can use a similar approach to add/scale the video to the AC3 file. In either case, once you have the merged file, AAC channels must then correctly "designated" to their appropriate AAC channel in the properties window.
Not a very good example, but here is the result of my initial test H.264/AAC test. (Need to go back when I have the chance and try an AC3 version: http://homepage.mac.com/jrwalker4/.Public/SoundTestChaptered.mov

How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks!

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!
