Just audio on .mov files

Hi! I'm trying to open .mov files in premierer pro cs6, but only get the audio. What do I need to do to open the whole file?

Why no more clips and just one big .mov file?

I had been working in iMovie and iDVD 4 for some time up until present when I upgraded to iLife 6. One of the things I like about ver. 4 was that the whole movie was saved as a file but there were also the individual clips saved as well. I could use these clips when creating my iDVD project. Now I see that those clips are gone and there's just one big .mov file to drop into my iDVD themes. Why did they do this??? Is there some benefit to this that I'm not understanding? Maybe I don't have something set correctly in the prefs.? Is there anyway around this so that I have control over what part of a movie gets dropped into my iDVD themes?
-Daryl

Thank you so much, Matt. That did the trick. I would've never thought of that. I was beginning to figure that the clips just had to be somewhere else that wasn't obvious to me. I couldn't believe that they would do away with that. Thanks again!

No Video/Only Audio On .mov files exported from Final Cut

I've exported some .mov files from Final Cut on another computer, moved them to this one, and only the audio will play when I try to play them in any program. QuickTime, VLC, MPEG Streamclip, Real Player--nothing will play the video. I either get a black screen or a white screen. I even tried converting a portion of the video to a different file type to see if that could work.
Anyone know what I could do?

Yes, you are correct--it does play fine on the computer I originally had the file on. But I just checked and I do have perian already.
I'm wondering--I exported the file in Final Cut Pro 6, and on my computer I only have Final Cut Pro 5. Could that possibly have any effect on why it might not be working?

Quicktime won't play audio of .MOV files

Quicktime displays the video portion of .mov files from my digital camera, but the audio sounds like a (very loud) jackhammer, and seems to hang. Ditto with other viewers (irfanview, etc.) that depend on Quicktime.
However, Nero ShowTime plays the same files just fine.
It's as if quicktime didn't fully install codecs, although uninstall/reinstall sequence didn't help, and no messages indicating any problems.
PS... it used to work great (months ago) -- no clue how it was broken.

I'm experiencing the same problem, with the only difference that my qt has no video on one account, and behaves normally in another account. I compared the versions, but the seem to be the same.

Quiet Audio on .MOV files

I've just finished rebuilding my OS after formating my hard drive. Everything has gone smoothly except for QT.
When I play any QuickTime file I get fine music & sound effects but the dialog is playing at 5% to 10% volume.
Whenever I play a basic MPG file it works fine. If I play music through iTunes it plays fine. Only .MOV files (HD or SD) have this problem. I read in other posts that it has something to do with surround 5.1 channels. Their solution was to update to QT 7.0.4.
Well I'm on QT 7.1.3 and still having this problem.
I have found that when I reinstall QT 6 the problem goes away. I just can't view HD files any more.
Any help here?

I have figured it out.
The problem is in Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences
Click on the Audio tab
Just set channels for "stereo L R"
Evidentally QT doesn't work well with Surround 5.1 on everything

Mp3 audio in .mov file

Years ago I created a series of .mov files that are audio-only. When I view the properties of the file it says the audio is "MPEG Layer 3".
For the life of me I cannot remember how I created this file and I need to create another one.
So what I tried is to create an MP3 using iTunes and just changed the extension to .mov The Mac opens and plays it OK, but the PC (my target system) will not. I get a an error "file is not a movie".
Can anyone lend a hand with this?
Thanks!

Open the MP3 in QT Player, Hit Save As (Self Contained).
But doing this severely limits the number of Apps that will play the MP3. Why not leave it as MP3? I'm sure PCs will play a straight MP3 easier than a MP3 in a MOV wrapper.
Whatever, do what you have to do

Help! No Audio on .MOV files using Yosemite

I just purchased the new Retina display iMac with Yosemite installed and I noticed that the audio will not play on any of my .MOV video files. The audio seems to work with my other video files such as .MP4 and .3G2. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

There are two potential problem areas with many sub-possibilities here and you will have to some work on your own to determine which issue is at fault.
1) The MOV file container is generic and may contain audio and/or video data compressed in a format no longer supported by the media player you are using or the media player may not be programmed to expect an otherwise compatible data format to now be used in the MOV file container. In this case, you need to determine what codecs were used to create the data format that is not playing or is not supported. This can normally be done by opening the file in a player and checking the Inspector, Info, Properties, or similar window or use a dedicated media utility to determine this information. Once you know the format you can report back here with the information. You will also need to confirm in which media player you are attempting to play the MOV file. It will then be possible to tell you if the file should be compatible with this player and/or how to fix the issue.
2) The file may have a "security" issue. That is, Yosemite may include a security update that takes exception to something about the file—i.e., its container, headers, or the method by which the file was transferred to your system or some application used along the way. This problem is more difficult to solve. In some cases, you might be able to simply change the extension or copy the data to a new file container one way or another. In other cases, you might have to wait for Apple to fix the problem with a follow-up update or use an alternative player that ignores the supposed "security" issue.

Premiere Pro 2.0: Losing audio in .mov files

I'm using Premiere Pro 2.0 on a PC (I know, it's time to upgrade)
A client sent me some short .mov files supposedly shot with a Canon camcorder. They play fine in QuickTime outside of Premiere. But when I import them into Premiere Pro 2.0 and begin to trim the clips, the audio plays for about 5 seconds, then it goes silent for the remainder of the video.
Does anyone know why this is happening and, more importantly, how I can get the audio to play correctly in Premiere Pro 2.0?
For what it's worth, once they are in Premiere, the properties say that they are "12000 Hz - 16 bit - Mono"
Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

No Audio with .mov files

Guys,
I need your help immediatly. I'm using windows XP and tried many times to play the (.mov) movie files on the QuickTime v.7.1.3 but the voice isn't appearing, no audio at all.
What should I do???
Thanks;
HP Pavilion dv2000 Windows XP Labtop

If the QuickTime Movie Info window doesn't show any audio codecs my best guess is that the file doesn't have any or that the codec is missing from your computer. I suspect the former.
Check the information that came with the camera and visit their Web pages to see if you can find out more.
As a "test" of your QuickTime software visit the Movie Trailers page at Apple's QuickTime page:

Do these files play with audio on your PC?

No video - only audio- in .mov files

I downloaded some training videos from the internet. They are Quicktime .mov files. When I open them in Quicktime, I get lovely sound, but a black screen. This is what I have tried:
1. Installed Perian
2. Imported into iMovie
3. Opened with Miro
None of those worked. I am able to play other .mov files, as well as .avi, .mpg and .mp4
I have the latest version of the QuickTime player (7.2). What gives?

Hi.
Have you tried loading Perian (www.perian.org)? That will provide you with many additional CODECs which SHOULD solve the problem...

No Audio with *.mov files with Quicktime 7.4 (92)

Today, I updated to Quicktime 7.4 (92) and tried to play the "Macbook Air - Guided Tour" quicktime *.mov file within a web browser (camino, firefox, safari) from the front page of apple.com and get no sound. However, when I play the new Macbook Air commercial, also from the front page. Sound works great. My system volume works fine.
My conclusion is, it must be Quicktime itself, or the way the "Guided Tour" *.mov was encoded.

I have a PPC G5 2@2ghz Tiger 10.4.11 1gb RAM, 1TB HD.
I've tested all of my movies (unprotected MP4 files) and they do not play on my Mac. Further testing indicates they also doesn't play with QuickTime directly by finding the file in the iTunes folder using QT Player. This is NOT an iTunes problem as I've seen some people say on other boards but definitely a QT problem.
The same "broken" movies do play from VLC so it's a problem with the QT plug-in and/or codec file(s). The "broken" also won't play in FireFox via the QT plug-in, reporting a QT logo with the flashing "?" error.
I removed DiVX component and that did not correct the problem. All symptoms remained the same. I tried this because DiVX is famously bad for breaking things. Further, the old standby of deleting preferences files has not changed thing.
Running QT player or Running iTunes and then opening the movie requires force quit. Running it from with a browser doesn't lock it up, though.
Movies NOT in the iTunes directory were not affected and play normally leading me to suspect it might a problem with multiple causes.
I hope this help someone figure it out.

Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you

Taking JUST audio from movie.

I have a movie that i want to take just the audio from, i want to be able to edit just the audio and im guessing the only way i can do this is to import the audio into garageband and edit from there and im ok with that, i just dont know how to separate the audio from the movie. Once its been edited in garageband i then want to be able to record the audio onto a cd that i need to send to someone to get it transcribed.
Does anyone know of a way to extract just the audio and do what i want to do?
Thank you!

Right in iMovie if you right click the footage clip in the drop down menu you can select Detach Audio. Don't know if you could do any thing to it in garage band though. Give it a try and post back if you figure it out.

No audio on mov files

I've batch captured some video using Adobe Premiere CS5. In trying to play these clips with Quicktime, most of the clips have no audio.
Using the inpsector, I noticed a difference in audio formats.
Clips where the audio doesn't play, show: Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, 4.0 (_ _ _ _)
Clips where the audio does play, show: Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, 4.0 (L R _ _)
All of the clips play correctly (with audio) in Premiere. I even uploaded one of the problem clips to Vimeo and it plays the audio fine as well. So it appears the audio is there. but for some reason Quicktime does not recognize it.
I copied one of the problem files to another Mac and the lack of audio problem persisted. Both Macs are running Lion.
Any advice is appreciated.

Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
