I can't export to QuickTime, it gives message "Codec not found."

I have long sequence, in which I have some Channel Swap effects. I get an error message saying it can't be rendered for a sequence this long (72 minutes) with my hardware (2009 iMac running OS 10.6.8). When I try to export to QuickTime, it tells me "Codec not found." I'm trying to export to Apple Pro Res HQ. What should I do? I took out the Channel Swap effects and didn't get the message anymore in the sequence, but I'm afraid the codec issue will crop up again, even though I changed it to Apple Pro Res in the Render Options tab under Sequence settings, rather than just "Same as Sequence". Eventually, I will have to export to HQ, and I'm not sure this codec lets me do that. Help!

You don't give any details about your format or sequence settings, so I'll be general here.
Just a couple of observations...
The only time limitation messages I've seen (in the last decade) have been resource-oriented, not NLE constraints so if your system doesn't like a 72-minute sequence I'd be looking at drive space or something like that. Have you tried outputting two 36-minute pieces?
I don't understand your logic in using the sequence codec option (which is limited to two specific formats) to control output of the sequence rather than the output "same as sequence" dropdown) options. Personally, I don't use either, I output the sequence as is and transcode in Compressor.
Simple as it sounds, "Codec not found" generally means exactly that, so I'd be looking at whether the codecs need to be re-installed.
Hope this helps

Can AE Export a Quicktime Reference?

If so, how? If not, what is the best way to send footage back into Avid Media Composer?

Can AE Export a Quicktime Reference?
No. How should it? Ref movies are just what the name implies - basically playlists inside a MOV container referencing the original OMF/ MXF clips. No program other than Avid's own tools have a way of creating this, because it would require to be able to access the media database.
If not, what is the best way to send footage back into Avid Media Composer?
Set your QT CoDec to the Avid CoDec you are using anyway, then do a fast import. Otehrwise any otehr QT CoDec will do as well.

Quicktime codec not found - can't open in FCP

I have the FCP:Beyond the Basics book. The media files are largely HD quality. Upon trying to open them, FCP gives me the following error,"Codec not found. You may be using compressor type without the corresponding hardware card." This is followed by a "not enough memory" message.
The source files also cannot be opened up in quicktime, so I assume it's a quicktime codec issue. My FCP and QT Pro are completely updated. Nowhere can I find where I might gain the missing codec or why it isn't present to begin with. I have reinstalled the media and am inprocess of reinstalling QT.
My old MacBookPro (last year's model) could read all of these files, no prob.

QT reinstall did no good.
As a side note...this is a totally new computer. Oringinally, I installed FCP but not DVD Studio Pro. At a later date, I installed Studio Pro. I don't know if this messed with codecs or not.
Also, I couldn't find any apple hdv codec in the qt library. There is the apple intermediate codec, though. Hmmmmmmm.

Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
Here is some additional background info if desired:
I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
Maybe this helps someone?

You need to restart the iMac and hold down the Command and R keys immediately.
You will then have the utilities drop down and you choose Terminal
When Terminal opens, type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Return.
When the Reset Password window opens, select the user for which you want to change the password.
Enter the new password twice, and then click Save.
Accept the next dialog window,
And then Apply
When finished click the apple at the left side of the menu bar, and the Restart.

How can I export via QuickTime in iMovie '13 (10.0)?

Prior versions of iMovie had an export via QuickTime option, which allowed me to select the file format, encoding settings, etc. After upgrading to the new iMovie, that appears to have gone away. The Share -> File option does not allow me that level of control over the output file. Has that functionality been removed from iMovie?

I'm also having trouble with this. The new version of iMovie lost a lot of its features and is clearly focused toward the social media side of things. After importing using SD cameras that import video in a *square* PiP format, I am finding it impossible to update any of my settings to export the video in any other format that wouldn't cut out the picture. Basically, the only settings I've found in the share option of the iMovie 10.0 cu off the tops and bottoms of all my recording. Previously, I used QuickTime settings to pick what format and quality I wanted to export in. Does anyone have any insight about how to export using, say, a 640 x 480 format or in being able to adjust to any format other than the standard ones giving.
Is there any other video software I can be using to import and export with that gives me more functionality?

How can I export a Quicktime with Alpha embedded?

I have a few titles that I've created in Premiere. I've placed these titles into their own sequence and would like to export them as a Quicktime movie using the Animation codec with an embedded alpha channel (Millions+) so that I can import it into After Effects and do some animation work with them. I don't want them against black though.
When I Export Media in Premiere and select Quicktime with the Animation codec, the "code settings" button is greyed out.
Please help. There must be a way to export media with an embedded alpha channel like you can in FCP.
Thanks.

WoOWavE_Sync_Pro,
I don't see what is complicated about it at all. I don't mean to start an argument, but making a title is easy, exporting it with an Alpha channel is easy (as shown above). Where is the problem? Why go to TIFF? I certainly would never "export normally and key out the backgrounf (sic) in AE"
Perhaps you would care to explain your comments in more detail?
If you are interested in the font style I used, it came from Tim Kolb back in the CS3 days or before. I have a link to his styles on my web site. I used to count the downloads, but over the years I lost track.
Of course, having said that, if I was going to have a complicated title with motion, I would use AE to begin with. And I would probably use a downloaded template as a starting point. But that is because other people are more creative than I am. I am just a techie dabbling on the creative side of things.
By the way, I suppose I should get around to testing your product. If I like it, I will post a link on my web site to direct people to it. Feel free to send me an email from my web site telling me why people should use it and what you want people to know about it. And you might want to suggest how to test it as well. I used to get a LOT of visitors every day. It has cut way back since I have not been updating it. Now that I have started to update it again, I expect the visitor count will rise again.

Can't export to Quicktime in proper aspect ratio.

I'm working on a project with a:
-Canon XL2
Set to:
-16:9 SD
-24p 2:3:3:2 Pulldown
Capture Preset:
-DV NTSC 48 kHz Advanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown Removal Anamorphic
Sequence Preset:
-DV NTSC 48 kHz - 23.98
When I try to export to Quicktime it smashes the image from the left and right. The Quicktime window appears to be displaying a 16:9 aspect ratio, but for some reason it distorts the image and places black bars on both sides. Does anyone have any idea what kind of export settings I should be using for this? If you need more info to answer my Q. just ask...I will be monitoring this post closely.
thanks,
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.0 GHz, 400Gb Hard Drive, 2Gb Ram, 250Gb External

I've tried exporting in several different ways. My first attempt was just the obligatory Export: Quicktime: Current Settings. Then I played around with the various settings to no avail. Unfortunately, I'm really not sure what the difference is between exporting to Quicktime and using Quicktime conversion. I also don't know the difference between 23.98, 24@25, and 24. Maybe if I understood the settings it would be easier to figure out.

Can't export to quicktime v10 from FCP 5

I have recently loaded FCP 5 (Not Studio) onto a G5 iMac.
When I try and export to quicktime it only exports the first
18 seconds or so. My FCP 5 worked fine on my iMac G-4 with Quicktime 7.6 but it doesn't export on my G-5 using Quicktime 10.
It will export using quicktime conversion, but then I cannot get my chapter markers.
Any and all help appreciated.
Michael the Hunter

Thanks for the response.
On my G4 I am using 10.04.11 and it works just fine with my FCP 5. The G 5 that I am having trouble with FCP 5 is Snow Leopard. I figured that the Snow Leopard OS was probably the problem along with Quicktime 10. And you have confirmed that.
Looks like I will have to purchase a newer version of FCP for the G 5 and use my FCP 5 on my old G 4. Thank you apple.
Thanks for your input.

Suddenly can't export anything...."Codec Error"

I'm using FCE HD 3.5.1 on a Mac Pro and have been using the program successfully for months until just recently.
It has now come to the point where I can't export my four minute movie at all. I simply get a message that reads "Codec error".

One quick update - I tried uninstalling using AppZapper and then reinstalled STP 3.0 again - and it seems like I can now export to MP3, but not WAVE or AIFF.
Also, the mic input being garbled seems to have been fixed as well.
Am I missing something? All I'm trying to do is:
1. Create a Multi-track project
2. Record about 10 seconds of audio to one (stereo) track.
3. Do a multi-take on that track
4. Pick the pieces I want in the final composition
5. Render out the main composition to wav
I've been able to do steps 1-4 just fine - but for whatever reason I can't get ste 5 working at all!

Enough Disk Space Exporting to Quicktime once...now NOT. Why?

Attempted to export my video to Quicktime...and the first time no problem except that when I was working with iDVD, saw that I had titled my chapter markers too large as they were running into each other and overlapping. So, I went back over my video project...edited and changed my chapters to single words...and when I tried to export to Quicktime again about 30 some minutes into the process the message came to screen saying I did not have enough disk space.
So...I saved my video to an external drive as a back up (to be safe)...then reopened the original video project file from my system's hard drive saved in my "Movies."
Using the hard drive icon on my desktop I then deleted two files saved there, which included a copy I had made as well...(by deleting, thinking I'd make available perhaps disk space). I then re-saved my project with a new name to my system so that the project was saved only once. Note- a couple weeks ago in preparing for this project, I transferred whatever other completed saved movie projects, Quicktimes and so forth to my external drive, and deleted existing files on my system's hard drive. I have therefore only one other three minute video project and Quicktime in my "Movies" folder.
Okay...so I then emptied my trash (thinking that might open disk space) ...and once more tried to export this video to Quicktime. Again, the message not enough disk space came up.
Again, remember...the FIRST time I attempted to export the project to Quicktime it DID succeed to go thru the entire process, and showed up in my media content of iDVD. I also had exported it at the higher Quality setting in "Safe" mode.
Thus I presume my original video fell within the allotted disk space or it wouldn't have made it to iDVD to begin with. Why do you suppose after making my edits to chapter titles, now...there is supposedly not enough disk space when exporting?
thanks

I realize I may have erred (not knowing 'til reading in the manual later...that not setting a high enough disk space size at the time of capture may cause this problem). I may I suppose have to redo the entire video, and figure out how settings are supposed to be changed.
Let's say I was a dummy and didn't first assign disk space to the project like I should have...(something I'll have to learn how to do) ...I would still like to know why the entire process first succeeded to export to Quicktime at my higher quality settings? Why DID it export...why DID it work, and not now?
Why DID it first have enough disk space apparently such that working in iDVD the completed video was available...but I would have had to burn it with problems in chapter titles.
I know disk space was unaffected by chapter markers. I fixed chapter markers because in iDVD they were too long and overlapped. It wasn't until AFTER that fix trying to export again...the video suddenly was out of disk space.
My video is 90 minutes in length. A teaching instructional video. Where do I locate size and available space on my drive? Isn't that shown at the start of making the video? I have looked.
The drive is my internal drive of my Mac 10.4.3 an intel duo core...2 GB
