Imported Quicktime movie clip has no audio

I am putting together a wedding video. We have a Sony HD-12 camcorder. I used FCE4 to Log and Transfer the individual video clips. These are fine. The bride and groom gave me two additional video clips recorded by someone else they want inserted in the sequencing. These two video files are already in Quicktime format. I imported them into the FCE4 browser. When I click on them the video plays but there is no audio. How do I get the audio so that I can move it down to the sequence bar? Thank you for your help.

When I click on them the video plays but there is no audio
Chances are that the two files are muxed. Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the files into a format that FCE works with natively.
NOTE: You may also need Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Component for MPEG Streamclip to be able to convert the files if they are MPEG-2 based.

Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
Error during import
The file could not be imported: (-2002)
This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
Thanks!

I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

Cannot import Quicktime movie clips into i-movie 08

How do you get QT movie clips from a Sony Digital Still camera which has a movie mode on it - into i-movie )08 ?
I copied the movies in MPeg format onto an external HD (imported from PC Win Vista) and then they became QT movie clips. They just will not import into i-movie >

I am a novice but I downloaded Perian software which allowed me to usemy Flip videos in avi format in iMovie.

Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

Importing Quicktime movies into iMovie 6i

I'm currently running iMovie 6 on an iMac G5 (iSight) with system 10.4.11 and trying to import Quicktime movies. The movies are nothing more than 10 minute slideshows created in iPhoto 6. The first four imported with no trouble but the fifth created an error screen that said "The file could not be imported, unknown error". . . . very informative. There are still 20 gigs on my internal drive but, to be safe, I created the iMovie project on an external drive with 60 free gigs. I tried updating iMovie and iPhoto to the latest versions with no success. Then I went back to iPhoto and broke the erring slideshow into two halves, before exporting them to Quicktime movies. The first imported correctly into iMovie but the second created the same error code. Since then, I have tried three or four other "slideshow/movies" with the same recurring error.
A year ago I followed this same process successfully to end up with a final DVD. I used the same versions of iLife 6 but, of course was not at Tiger version 10.4.11. My guess is that I was at 10.4.6 at that time.
If anyone has a fix or a suggestion for this issue, I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I stumbled on the problem and it's solution so I thought I would post it for those interested. After two days of frustration, I accidentally discovered that the culprit was the backslash character in the name of my slideshow. While iPhoto has no problem exporting a file with that character in the name, iMovie won't accept it for importing. This sounds like an issue related to our PeeCee friends for whom the backslash is off limits. What is most puzzling is why Apple's iMovie programmers couldn't flag it as an "illegal character" error. It certainly isn't an "unknown error".
Anyway, thanks for any thought you may have given to this issue.

Quicktime Restarts Computer, Has NO Audio

Quicktime Restarts Computer, Has NO Audio
Quicktime 7.7.2 Restarts Computer.
Summary:
1.     Change the setting so the Computer does NOT Restart on Error.
2.     Update the Video Driver.
See article on how to change the setting so the computer will NOT Restart on Error: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/743448?start=0&tstart=0
•     Changed the Setting so the Computer will NOT Restart on Error.
•     Updated ATI Video Driver from the Internet ( Computer > Properties > … > Device Manager, right Click on Video Driver and click Update Driver.
Now Quicktime did NOT Crash but still had NO Audio (See below).
Quicktime 7.7.2 has NO Audio.
Summary:
1.     Install an older version of Quicktime (Ex. 7.6.5)
•     I Updated the SoundBlaster Audigy Driver from the Internet (Still NO Audio when running Quicktime).
•     Now that the Drivers were Updated, I Uninstalled and then re-installed Quicktime to see if it would make a difference (Still NO Audio when running Quicktime).
•     Trying something else - I installed an older Version of Quicktime ( I used 7.6.5).
Now Audio worked when using Quicktime.
Computer Specs:
•     AMD 3000+
•     3GB RAM.
•     Windows XP Service Pack 3.
•     ATI Video Card.
•     SoundBlaster Audigy Sound Card.
Extra Notes: Even with my Windows 7 Computer - I only have 7.6.7 - it also works correctly - with audio.

Qualcomm Pure Voice is still an export option in version 7.3 (as it has been in every version).
It fails to play in 7.3 as others have noticed. I didn't catch it in my beta tests of this version and expect it to be fixed with an updated version.
I just tested exports using that codec and they do play the audio. Only a few Pure Voice audio tracks I have on my machine fail. All use 22.050 Hz at mono settings.
A bug.

Quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list. after export

when I export an album to quicktime the quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list. The slide show works in i photo with all songs in the playlist but the quicktime only takes the first song and repeats it over and over

I used the garage band method to string the songs together. Then used the mega song to play with my album. and it even exported to the quicktime movie. Thanks for the post.

No audio when importing quicktime movies

I have a set of Quicktime movies that I'm trying to edit in FCE. I can hear the audio without any problems in Quicktime, but not in FCE.
When I import the files, I get no audio waveforms; the meter bars seem to move ever so slightly, but it's hard to tell. Boosting the audio level has no effect at all.
Details about the QT files:
- 1v, 1a track
- 29.97 fps
- DV/DVCPRO NTSC
Audio:
- mono mix
- 48 KHz
- 24-bit integer
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
JY

I have the same problem, though I don't know as much about audio and video formats as I should. Two questions follow:
My footage plays fine, with audio, in QuickTime, but when I try to import into FCE, it only imports video.
Also, for some reason, I also cannot import these files into iMovie. I get to the step where it asks which movie I'm looking to import, and it won't let me choose as in won't let me physically click on a file a movie file.
Problem with iMovie is that it does not automatically generate thumbnails anymore, for some reason, and I can't figure out how to get it to generate them.
Do you have advice for these two issues (in relative layman's terms?) Thank you so much in advance.

Quicktime movie clips

Being new to iMovie, I'm not sure whether I can import a number of quicktime movies and have them play as one...? If this is possible, am I able to edit the clips as well?
Cheers,

mish,
I really appreciate your posts here, but in this case, I have to grab into your steering wheel:
...You can import the QT movies ...
iM has some (many) limitations, to make it simple & convenient.. by concept, it is restricted to miniDV imports... so, any QT.mov which fullfills the specs of a miniDV will import flawless.. that is DV as codec, PAL/NTSC according to your standards...
ANY other codec (...hmm, ok, some mpeg4, Apple Intemediate also work...), format, framerate, resolution has to be converted first to work within iMovie.. that could work, but sometimes fail; well known example on this board: downloads from the iNet, mpegs, youtube.com videos etc....
esp. playback-formats as mpegs will lose their audio when imported into iM; you need 3rd party tools as Streamclip to convert them BEFORE importing to iM...
so, if something gets wrong, Royboy, don't hesitate to come back....!
besides: welcome to the  board......

I encountered a similar problem. I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams". I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change. Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault. It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage. Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.
I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda. We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.

Can't import Quicktime .mov into iMovie 10

Is it possible to import a Quicktime movie into iMovie 10? I used to be able to do this with iMovie 9 but cannot get it to work with 10. I can drag it into an event but no clips show up. I can't believe that Apple would require a 3rd party product to get this to work.
As a separate rant, you used to be able to edit clips directly in Quicktime but Apple removed this functionality a while back; ie. deleting parts of clips rather than just trimming from the ends. It is getting tougher and tougher to do basic editing even if you stay within the Apple ecosystem...

.mov can contain a variety of different movie formats not all of which are importable into iMovie 10. Try playing it in Quicktime player 10 - does it say it has to convert? If it converts it, the resultant file should import into iMovie 10 OK. see: OS X Mavericks: Some files may be converted when opened in QuickTime Player - Apple Support
In Quicktime 10 the way to do this is to split a movie into clips and trim each clip as required. These can then be imported into iMovie and joined as part of a project. See: QuickTime Player 10.x: Rearrange your movie’s content
Quicktime 7 Pro (which does allow removing 'middle' parts of a movie) still works in Yosemite

Is this a bug?: copied movie clip has wrong frame rate and ruins the main movie's sync

Hello,
I am trying to copy a movieclip with a frame rate of 30 frames per second to a movie that has a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Both movies are actionscript 3 movies. When I do this, my copied movie clip's frame rate reverts to 12 frames per second and all my audio synched animation is trashed. Then when I change it back manually to 30 frames per second it makes my main movie's stage animation go crazy at full possible speed and the audio is all out of sync. I have not set export for sharing or action script on this movie clip. I've tried other movie clips that are 30 frames per second and it is all crazy!
Is this a bug? What can I do? I've got 100s of movie clips I need to make. I can't keep remaking them just because flash has a screw loose. I'll go crazy!
-theGibler

Oh sorry I goofed! My main time line is 12 fps! I can't belive I didn't see this before.

QuickTime movie clips won't play in video player

I have movie clips generated by my camera that are in Quicktime format that are in iTunes and iPhoto (playing in both) but will not sync to the iPad because they are in an "unsupported format"
I have a few other QT clips that did sync to the iPad from iTunes, but not all of them will transfer.
What is the problem?

Just because the videos from your camera are Quicktime, doesn't mean they will play on the ipad. Open the videos with Quicktime on your computer and get info, COMMAND+i. Here are the video specs for the iPad:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format. http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
