ITunes 7 exports as Quicktime. Why?

I edit a radio show in GarageBand, using Podcast setting. Since iLife 08, GB-edited shows "shared" to iTunes as mp3s now export out of iTunes in Quicktime instead of iTunes. I upload shows through Transmit to a PC that may not recognize Quicktime. How can I control this behavior & get iTunes to export as itself?

In the past, I have dragged my edited programs from iTunes onto the desktop and uploaded via Transmit to the show's server. Now, when I drag out of iTunes onto the desk, the edited program turns into QuickTime. Why?

Why is EXPORT to Quicktime "greyed" out? GB3?

Wondering why export to quicktime is greyed out.
In addition, is there anyway to export tracks individually?
Thank you!

FWIW, I know the work around, export to iTUNES, drag to desktop (if preferences are set up right, in iTUNES) it will be a AIFF file.
Just want to know why quicktime is greyed out unless of course it needs video or images in order to work as export to quicktime!
thanks!

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

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

Why Can't I Export to Quicktime from Garageband?

Has anyone else experienced this or would know how to fix it...
I created a .mov file from Keynote and brought it into Garageband as a Video Track to sync the music to the Keynote presentation. Now I'm ready to Export to Quicktime from Garageband. When I choose the Export command from the 'Share' menu in Garageband, it runs through two dialog boxes - first "Creating Mixdown" and then "Converting..." - after the second dialog box disappears no Quicktime file is created.
I have tried several things to remedy this, but have had no luck - such as updating to Garageband 3.0.1, running Disk Utility, restarting the computer. I also made sure to check the Preferences in Garageband before exporting.
Can anyone tell me how I can get it to export?
Also, the final Garageband file size is approximately 180MB and the presentation runs approximately 8 minutes. The final file will need to be 'full quality', as it will be shown from a projector at a meeting.
Mac OS X (10.3.9) Keynote v3.0.0; Garageband v3.0.1; Dual 1GHz G4; 1.5GB SDRAM

Which export did you use?
Try going into prefs->export, enable the export to disk option.
Than in the Share menu choose export to disk.
Then do a search on the name of your song (in the Finder) and see if it shows up.

Export to Quicktime Movie rerendering. Why?

Hi
I have a DV project edited in FCP 5.11 which is all completely rendered. It's actually made up of a number of sequences joined end to end each of which is rendered before rendering the final 'top' sequence. There are some heavily rendered motion still sections in there, so I don't really want to render them again.
However when I Export to Quicktime Movie, using the current settings, ie not making a self-contained movie, it takes hours to render and looks like it is rerendering everything I painstakingly made sure was rendered to full quality already. Is there anything I can do to stop it doing this? (I am doing this to make things much easier for Compressor, rendering the whole project as a referenced movie.)
Thanks for your attention.
Regards

Just checking that you are, in fact, leaving the menu as Current Settings... and not changing it to match the settings of your timeline...
Also, you say you are not making a self contained movie - you've left that unchecked? Are you sure you don't have any gray realtime bars over the top of your clips - resize, dissolve, etc don't require rendering until export. You need to check the Render All menu (opt-r) under Sequence has everything checked...

Problems Exporting to Quicktime. Would you use Profcast?

Using the new Keynote, which is promising, we recording a seminar that was 2 hours long. We wanted to distribute it via CD. We have tried to export it so many ways to Quicktime. We get the old "Your slideshow cannot be exported as a Quicktime movie. There's not enough disk space, or there was a problem with the file." Of course, disk pace is not a problem. We just found out that this is some sort of bug that the Apple community has been trying to figure out for years and has errupted again with this new Keynote version. We've tried the couple solutions posted elsewhere on the internet, and nicely summarized here: http://www.madebymark.com/madebymark/2006/04/keynote30expo.html
As with the author above, they haven't worked for us. And we don't have a stray "audio icon" that the author describes. Our Keynote presentation is very bare, with new fancy slide transitions or effects.
I'm thinking that Keynote cannot be trusted with audio presentations of over a few minutes. We recorded a nice four minute or so presentation and exported to Quicktime. It worked wonderfully. Has all the nice effects. When we tried a longer recording (10) minutes, all the sound and transitions were out of sync.
Our problem is that we record whole lecture and seminars. If Keynote has a glitch, we are then having to re-record. It's painful and expensive.
We were using Profcast, which allows us to import Keynote presentation and record the lectures. Now Profcast doesn't allow fancy transitions. It also doesn't (or did not) export to Quicktime. It exported to mp4 (I believe) which a Quicktime user could open. But the audio was perfectly timed with the slide pagination. And two other important benefits. The lecturer could easily start and stop the audio. If I'm not mistaken, that's not on option under Keynote. If you start the recording under Keynote, you're on until you finish. If you pause (I don't think there is a pause. I think you must exit) the recording, you end the recording. The final nice thing of Profcast (although I have not used it) is that you can export to GarageBand. At that point you can edit out extraneous material. I'm not sure what to do with it at that point. I don't think GarageBand allows you to export to quicktime. I think you can export to iTunes which is a type of QT. Assuming that one had to edit using GarageBand, that would require person to have iTunes to listen and watch the slide presentation, if I'm not mistaken. The other problem is that when you are using Profcast, as I remember (and I may be wrong on this), you lose all the nice transitions and effects. You still see the same slides with the same quality, but minus the effects.
ProfCast has proven a reliable workhorse, but without the effects. Quicktime is wonderful if you are not recording audio. If you are, nightmares ensue, and there seems little hope for an immediate solution.
Here are my questions. Beyond the few solutions for the Quicktime export problem, does anyone have any solutions? Any suggestions? We have a three hour presentation (it's huge) and are loathe to rerecord it.
Should we just stick with Profcast? Why or why not?
Oscar

Oscar I feel your pain !
We had similar problems from a recent seminar recording.
However I don't think it's length related. We recorded 15 presentations. 7 of which did not have slides. All those were fine with just our placeholder screen (25-ish minutes each)
Of the remaining 8 half exported finem, half crashed with the "disk full etc" error. All 8 presentations had slides imported from Powerpoint PC. Slide numbers ranged from 10 to 30. We could not determine a common denominator between the ones that crashed.
We tried removing transitions, deleting and re-inserting the original slides and a whole raft of other voodoo especially trying to hack the contents of the KN Package file in the hope of stumbling on to a fix ... to no avail.
This was a one-off live conference, no re-record possible. You don't want to hear this but we were forced to extract the audio and manually resynch All the presentations in Flash
You may have a better workflow, but you DO know you can control click the Keynote file, choose "Show Package Contents" and in there you will find all sorts of stuff including the .m4a audio file
This is a serious bug that render KN completely it's recording feature completely unusable.
But what has been most disappointing to me has been the absolute lack of any feedback from the stuff I have filed on this. Bug reports, Feature Enhancements, and the lack of comments from any of the Apple KN staff on this Apple KN board, does not speak well to the type of support for this product.
But here's the sting in the tail:
Having JUST completed the Flash workaround (at a cost of several thousand dollars in contracting) I just installed the KN 4.01 updater released today and all the files that would not export now do so just fine ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........

ITunes 8 *without* QuickTime 7.5.5?

I want to upgrade my iPhone to 2.1 (who doesn't!), so I need iTunes 8 (as I understand it).
I don't want to upgrade my QuickTime to 7.5.5 (I'm in the middle of a Final Cut Pro project, and QuickTime updates are rarely forgiving). I've heard that iTunes 8 only needs QT 7.5.5 for HD TV shows playback, so if all I'm looking for is the iPhone upgrade...
Can I install iTunes 8 without installing QuickTime? Does iTunes 8 mess with anything else (it should be pretty self contained, I know)?

Ben R wrote:
With all respect, Paul, that's why I'm asking the question.
Thats fine. I am just making a point since you mentioned that you were in the middle of a project - at the very least you should wait until you are done before risking an incompatibility. The reason - You really cannot install iTunes without upgrading Quicktime - You may be able to hack the installer, but we cannot talk about that since it would not be supported by Apple

Export to Quicktime Movie Results in Aspect Ratio Distortion

All of my original footage was shot in miniDV. I have created a sequence with the following settings:
Frame size: 720 x 480
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
Vid rate: 29.97 fps
Ultimately the sequence needs to go to DVD with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. To export, I am using:
File > Export > QuickTime Movie...
I have tried using several different settings including:
Apple Pro Res 422 NTSC 48 kHz
Apple Pro Res 422 NTSC (HQ) 48 kHz
Apple Pro Res 960x720 30p 48 kHz
DV NTSC 48 kHz
etc...
All settings yield the same result: a slightly squeezed aspect ratio. At first, I thought that this might simply be the fact that I was playing back files in QuickTime which uses square pixels I believe. But in both DVD Studio Pro and iDVD, the simulation shows the same effect. (By the way, Finder's "Get Info" reads the resulting Final Cut Pro Movie File dimensions 720x486.)
I'm fairly new to FCP so I'm hoping there is something obvious that I have missed. Can anyone explain what I need to do to get the video to DVD without a distorted aspect ratio?
(Incidentally, I have managed to export using quicktime conversion with no problem. But I need the export to be a Final Cut Pro Movie File so as to maintain chapter markers, etc.)
Advice welcome!!!

Hi David, I know this was discussed in you posting already but I just wanted to make sure I had it clear. I have a 4:3 film and I've exported as a quicktime movie with current settings, which should be 4:3 and found that the image when played back in quicktime, looks horizontally stretched. Almost as if quicktime is trying to play it back as a 16:9 image. I think this is the same issue the other fellow was having but I just wanted to be clear. You're saying that the 4:3 image distortion is perfectly normal when played back in quicktime on a computer screen and that the export will look fine when put to DVD or sent to a monitor? I just wanted to make sure because this problem is freaking me out and I don't want to deliver a distorted image to my client. Could you also explain briefly why this happens with quicktime export and not quicktime conversion and what causes quicktime to distort the 4:3 image? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
james.

FCP project not the correct aspect ratio when exporting to Quicktime

Hello All;
I am trying to export a FCP project in its native resolution (1440 X 1080) to Quicktime but everytime I try, the aspect ratio is messed up and people look taller and thinner than they should.
The project is a resolution of 1440 X 1080 as determined by examining the sequence settings in FCP.
I configure quicktime (see below) to a resolution of 1440 X 1080.
So why isn't my Quicktime video the correct resolution when I play it with the IMac's Quicktime player ? I shrink the player to 1/2 size to fit it all on the screen.
My exact settings are below ...
Export - Using Quicktime Conversion
Format - Quicktime Movie
Video Settings - Compressor - MPEG-4
Quality - Best
Not sure if I changed the framerate - if I did, I probably changed it to 29.97
I didn't touch the other settings in the video settings - left them to default
I didn't change the filter settings - I left them at default
Size - 1440 X 1080 (The actual resolution of my source video)
I checked the box - preserve aspect ratio using letterbox (If applicable)
Other settings were left at default
Sound Settings - Format - AAC
Rate - 48 KHZ
Render Settings - Quality - Best
Target Bitrate - 128 KHZ (This was left at default - I did not change it)
Prepare for Internet Streaming - Fast Start checked (This was default - I did not change it)
All other settings not specifically mentioned were left at default.
Thanks. Tim

I don't have much of an answer for you, but to test try not checking the preserve aspect ratio. Rather than reexport the entire 1 hour just export 10 seconds so that you can trouble shoot different things.
Hope that helps a bit,
Eric

Keynote 09 exporting to QuickTime playback issue

Hello,
I am looking for some amazing expertise and really appreciate any help and guidance.
I've exported a presentation from Keynote 09 to Quicktime and have an issue. When I try to play the presentation in QT X, I click to advance from slide 1 to 2 and it works perfect, but then when I click to advance to slide 3 it returns me to the start of slide 1 every time. Meanwhile when I use the spacebar/quickview without opening QT the entire presentation plays perfectly.
When I look at the QT file on a PC (using a thumb drive or a CD) QT 7 the file plays correctly in my testing. I have heard from others who these CDs were provided to that some may have had a similar issue, but I can not verify.
Please let me know any additional information I can supply. Can anyone help me understand this issue better and possibly help me correct it? Is this a known issue, or a simple user error?
Many thanks,
Michael

Thanks Dani and Glad...
As an update on my side:
I called in to Apple to try and find out if I jump up to Final Cut Studio (with a bit of a learning curve), if I would be able to replicate exactly the (slideshow) video I made easily in Keynote, hopefully avoiding this issue with the assumption that it is specifically related to Keynote.
Prior to getting on the line with a Final Cut expert, I did fully explain why I was calling with the hope of getting a solution for this issue as I would like to keep Keynote in my arsenal, especially since I am semi-fluent in it.
The person helping was very nice and asked to put me on hold for 3-5 minutes, which I am perfectly happy to wait for complete and accurate information. The solution I was presented with was as follows:
1) Go to export to QT as usual.
2) Click the second drop down (Formats) and select 'Custom...'.
3) A new window will pop up, click the 'Settings...' button.
My 'Compression Type' drop down was set to 'H.264'....I was told to
4) Change the 'Compression Type' to 'MPEG-4 Video.
(I do not think it is related to the fix being suggested or just as a preference, I was told to slide the Compressor - Quality slider on the bottom left to 'Best')
5) Click the 'OK' button on the bottom left
That window will close.
6) Click the 'Next' button and continue with your export.
I did this and the QT file worked, unlike the original I had done. I can not confirm it isn't a hit or miss like Glad saw...but I did ask if this was a "just try this and let's see" (like Microsoft, altctldel...try restarting your machine) or if this is a known issue....it wasn't totally clear, but I was told (not exact words, but basically) there may be something funky about Keynote or QT with H.264. I don't know codecs so have no idea, but I continued....
In case I still don't feel comfortable with this "fix" (which I am not sure I do...I also made a new, but less complex video and switched back to H.264 - this one worked...) I asked to still be connected to a FC expert, just to ask my questions anyway as it would be good knowledge to have, even if just for future self development.
I again did my best to explain what was going on, and the Final Cut person did not understand how changing to H.264 would make any difference...to mention, it is possible I had a hard time getting on the same page as this person who was trying to help me so he may not have understood exactly what I was asking exactly - but he did understand my bottom line - I need to make this video that works when exported to Quicktime!
Not sure if related (would be curious if this is relevant to others here), again not being familiar with codecs, etc - I had dropped a few QT movies I was given from someone else not being sure what they used to create it. I thought a Quicktime movie is a QT move - universal standard....apparently so for playing but not for re-exporting.
I was advised to get a QT 7 Pro key so in the future I can open QT movies I am sent in QT and re-export it as a QT movie from my machine (OS, codec, etc, etc, etc) before dropping it into a project I am working on.
Being on OS 10.6 I have QT X, which does not have this functionality (as mentioned - no Pro version) and when I tried to get a QT 7 Pro key in the past I was misinformed that I wouldn't be able to install it on my machine since it is running a newer version and wouldn't let me install an outdated/older version. Apparently, this is not totally accurate - it is missing from my Utility folder, but I need to do a custom install of it (only way to do it - can't just DL it) from the 10.6 OS disk.
Please, let me know if any of this worked for you or if I can add more details I left out.
Best of luck (...for us all)!!!!
Michael

Install iTunes 8 without QuickTime

I'd like to install the new version of iTunes without installing QuickTime. How do I do this? And why does Apple not have this as an option for the installer?

Apple doesn't ask you about 4 programs it install with itunes including quicktime. I believe that quicktime includes some codecs mp4, m4a that itunes depends on, so you won't ever be able to install itunes without quicktime. There are other free softwares if you just want to put music on your ipod without itunes.

Trouble exporting to quicktime

I created a new keynote file using keynote08 trial version and tried to export in quicktime.
However, new slide transitions are not exporting as shown in keynote.
Is it just me only, or exclusively to trial version?
Is anyone experiencing same problem?

The bug has to do with wave file in my slide.
When I delete the wave file in slide, slide transition effects work same way as in quicktime export or in actual keynote presentation. But slides with wave file shows the problem.
I am not sure why it has such problem. Previous keynote version did not have this kind of problem. Slide with wave file was exported to quicktime without any problem in keynote 3 version in iwork06.

Export as quicktime versus vimeo

hi,
If I export my movie as a quicktime movie --versus choosing Vimeo-- it seems to take a long time (over an hour). It hasn't finished yet, so I can't see the size, but I did this since many suggest this is the best way. I chose H264, current frame rate , data rate 5000, size 1920x1280, audio 44.1, etc., etc.
I wonder why it's taking so long this way? Did I not check some necessary box to indicate the right compression?

I am done editing a video (usually a sermon message) and not only have I already checked it as anamorphic, but it plays like that in the preview (?) screen inside of FCE.
I want to create an MOV that is of the highest resolution, as to have a digital master. So, I go to "File" and then "Export Quicktime Movie". Yet, after it is done exporting, when I view it with Quicktime (or in Preview, using spacebar)-it is square (4:3).
The only workaround is to export using quicktime conversion and make sure I select 720 x 480 (16:9), but in doing it this way, it is compressed-which not only takes a heck of a lot longer, but it is not the highest quality.
Please help!
Thanks!
