Importing a Quicktime movie into Motion 5: Why no video?

Hi,
I have made a Quicktime movie from a Final Cut Pro file. The movie plays OK opening it with Quicktime but when I import it into Motion 5 the audio plays but there is no video. Can anybody help?
Cheers,
Martin

Addtionally
What computer do you have (Type, Graphics card, OS)?
What codec did you use for the video?
Which version of Final Cut Pro (Express /7/X)?
We need more specific details to be able to help.

Hi
And if You
Share to file - and as 480p - then drop this file into iDVD bigMenu window (avoiding dropzones) - You get an even better result.

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

Importing a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong: when i import a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie the background goes orange... and i cannot get it to go white again... help! please!

Thanks for the link. We still had a the problem, but we found a woork around. It seem that if the power point has any sound in it then it only imports the sound. So we took all the sound out and then it imported fine. Then we put the sound back in and imported that so that then we had the sound effects. Any way it works! Thanks!

Importing quicktime movie into imovie

When I input some quicktime movies into iMovie, they are blurry. It happens with my ToonBoom quicktime movies.
Any ideas?
Adam

well what resolution are they inherently?
you could try the stabilization or convert it to another video format first.
what do you think of my first video?

Having trouble getting Quicktime movies into iMovie

Hi everyone. I'm on an iBook with OS 10.3.9 and I'm working with Quicktime 7.0.3 and iMovie 4.0.1. I've been making a student film, and I've been trying to drag or import Quicktime movies into iMovie to edit and use. However, when I attempt to do so, it doesn't work and I get a message that reads, "Can't open file (insert file name here); skipping it and continuing." Is there any way to fix this problem without having to get Quicktime Pro? Thanks.
Brian

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure the files are indeed mpegs. I tried out the program you sent, and it worked for the first clip when I converted it into DV. For some reason, when I tried importing the next two mpeg movies, I got a message that said, "The DV File (insert name here) is the wrong video standard and cannot be imported into this project." Any reason why that should be happening? Thank you very much for your first reply.

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

Help Please ::: Quicktime .mov into iDVD 5 playback or encode problem issue

Originally Imageready files burned into Quicktime. Importing Quicktime .mov into iDVD results in project which looked great in preview, but after burning images were elongated, flattened. I am stumped, especially given preview results would indicate no such problems but unsure where to analyze on the DVD burn end to check. Any tips on what/where to check? Have tried re-importing original ImageReady (Photoshop) files into new Quicktime .mov (original project was done on OS 9 fyi). But no change in results.. any help greatly appreciated.
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't privy to the process that converted these files originally but suspected the theory on compression/codec initially used.. may re-convert. Also will try Disk Imaging... seems that this is not an uncommon problem in the iDVD 5 world...
regards, Senor Peaches

Is there a way to Import After effect files into motion

I was wondering if there is a way to import after effects files into motion.

hi
no there is not. The only thing you can do is to export the layers out of AE as movies and import them into Motion. Of course you are then hard baking everything and you lose control, but that would be the same if you went to any other system.

Import an MP4 movie into my event library...

I'm trying to import an MP4 movie into my event library...all I get is the audio with black thumbnails. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry I couldn't help.
Here is one idea. Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. It is free.
Open MPEG Streamclip. Drag your MP4 file into MPEG Streamclip.
Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME...
For Compression, choose h.264.
Leave everything else the same.
Then try to import the resulting file into iMovie, same as before.
If it still does not work, try it again and this time choose Apple Internediate Codec for compression.
This should produce an MOV file with h.264 inside (or AIC inside).

Putting a quicktime movie into keynote?

When I put a quicktime movie in to keynote it shows video controls in the raw set but when I export it to an interactive quicktime movie it does not show the video controls is there any way to show the videos controls?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

EDIT: The below answer is wrong. I just read again, No, you can't do this in Keynote. Sorry!
Ohh, I think I get it. When you export as a normal movie, the controller is turned on by default. When you export an interactive movie, the standard controller is turned off. To turn this on for interactive movies, you'd have to have QuickTime Pro, open the movie, do a command-J to open the properties, go into the Presentation tab and change "Movie Controller Type" from "None Movie Controller" to "Movie Controller".

Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
Anticipating your reply....
Thanks,

As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No. You can not. You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

Quicktime movie into iMovie

How can I convert a quicktime movie into iMovie or somewhere I can burn it? I have lost my iMovie footage, but had saved it a couple years ago as a quicktime movie. I need to make my quicktime movie into a DVD.

You might find that Toast 6 (well now 7 but I use 6) is a good choice - I find at times when it chokes on MPEG-1 files, I convert them to QT using a lossless codec and then use the QT files to author a DVD. Great results.
I have even found that QT movies using the 3ivX codec or Sorenson , 1/2 hour in length yet only 500-600 MB turn out to look amazingly good in DVD format through Toast. Even though the comparable amount of DV or MPEG-2 as a source woudl be many times larger, so the QT codecs, the good ones do OK when transcoding.
So assuming your source is a decent codec it should look OK - author a disk image first then mount it and see how it plays and looks in the DVD player. Saves a DVD blank and some time initially.

I can't import Quicktime movies into FCE 4?

Hi, I'm trying to import an eight second Quicktime movie (that I made in the new Motion 5) into Final Cut Express 4. When I try to import it, a message pops up saying "Error: Unknown File." Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

FCE works with two types of QuickTime codecs: DV and AIC. When you exported the file from Motion 5, which of those two did you use?
