Missing QuickTime Video Codecs

I received 3 video files created using Final Cut Pro on a Mac. They were saved to a .mov file and placed on a dvd. The problem is when I try to play them on my pc using QuickTime or RealPlayer, I can hear audio but cannot see the video. I suspect I am missing some QuickTime video codecs I need but I'm not sure which ones or where to get them.
My computer is a special built that's why I don't list a Model.

Open the file using QuickTime Player and then use the Movie Inspector window to view the codecs used in it.
My guess is that you've got a file that uses codecs only available to FCP. They should export the file again using H.264 Video codec and AAC audio.

  • "Missing Codec" when importing QuickTime-Video into Premiere Pro CS5.5. What can I do?

    Dear Adobe Community,
    I tried importing a QuickTime-Video into Premiere Pro CS5.5, which did not work because there was a codec missing. What can I do now?

  • Unable to export Quicktime after upgrade from Premiere 7.0 to 8.0 (2014) error "incompatible video codec in preset"

    In the previous version of Premiere Pro (downloaded two months ago) I was able to export QuickTime files with preset HD 720p H.264.  It was very easy to do this in the previous version.
    Upgraded to Premiere Pro 8.0 (2014), no when I attempt to export the same project with the same settings I see error message "incompatible video codec found in the preset. present load failed" 
    When I select Quicktime, the default preset appears as NTSC DV Widescreen 24p.   Attempted to export with this setting, result is a file that plays audio but no video.  
    System is Windows, tried two different computers, including one with Windows 8, same result. Tried Media Encoder, same result. 
    I searched the forums for an answer, the new features page lists these presets as available however they are not working for me.  Nothing else was changed on the computer, only the upgrade to Premiere 8.0 (2014)
    How can I export Quicktime files in the new Premiere Pro?  

    Tech support helped me solve the issue - uninstall QuickTime and reinstall the newer version of QuickTime

  • I embedded a quicktime video in keynote, but all I have is sound, no visual.  What am I missing?

    After embedding a quicktime video in Keynote, all I have is sound, no video.  What am I missing?

    Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
    As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export? 

  • Quicklook no longer previewing Quicktime videos encoded in ProRes or Animation codec.

    I noticed that after upgrading to OS X Mavericks that I am no longer able to quicklook preview (pressing the space bar when selecting a video file) within Finder.
    This is a HUGE drawback for me as a video editor because I now have to open videos in VLC in order to quickly preview dailies.
    I've noticed this happens specifically with Quicktime MOVs encoded in ProRes422 and Animation.

    QL under Mavericks does not seem to like the Animation or PNG video codecs at all but I have sample ProRes422HQ files that do play in QL preview depending on the active audio track. (E.g., QL does not seem to like an active AC3 audio track but seems okay with PCM or AAC audio and will play a file containing an active AAC audio track with inactive AC3 audio track.) In short, many of us are still mapping out how QT X and QL function under Mavericks and the new AV Foundation/QT Modernizer routines.

  • Quicktime video for .mov files on Windows 8.1 not working

    I am using the latest Quicktime (v7.7.5) on a new install of Windows 8.1 and .mov files will play but only the audio works - there is no video.  Clearly There is a video codec missing.  Can someone at apple tell me what I need so quicktime (and other applications) can play .mov videos on Windows 8.1?
    Thank you!!!

    Hey Kirk,  thank you for your reply. All my windows media players (Windows, Quicktime, Pinnacle Sudio, etc..all  only play the audio and not the video.  The quicktime player on Windows recogizes a problem and suggests that I goto this website (www.apple.com/quicktime/rescources/components......) and download missing somftware (but gives no indication of what is missing :-)).
    So the Windows Quicktime Player shows that the .mov file is made with the Apple Intermediate Codec, 1308 x 736, Millions 16 bit Integer (little Indidan), Sterdo(LR), 48kHz.   I also looked at the inspector in the Mac.
    This is clearly the issue. I suppose I can always use my Mac to convert files to something more compatible with windows and then move these files.  I just find it hard to believe that Apple does not have a windows 8.x version of this codec. 

  • Component video codec

    okay awhile back i asked about why the quality setting couldn't be adjusted for the component video codec...not truly answered though i appreciate dick napoli for jumping in...anyway now it's just gone! no component video codec at all. anything else missing??? isn't there a file for what has been changed or fixed in each update? where is that at?

    Many older codecs have been placed in "legacy" status in QuickTime Pro exports and the Player playback preferences. Some for security issues that are real threats and others because Apple is trying to discourage their use to maintain future compatibility with some of these ancient codecs.
    Open the QuickTime Control Panel / Advanced tab and check the box to "show legacy encoders".

  • Missing Quicktime Components in iMovie 11

    So recently my iMovie had been acting up and crashing on my user so I decided to log out, switch users, and access one of my family member's empty iMovies on my mac book. However, when I tried to open it, a message came up saying that iMovie couldn't open unless I deleted some 3ivx stuff or something like that. So I decided to delete that stuff along with old video conversion apps I had once downloaded but never used again.
    Somewhere within that deleting spree I must have deleted something that created a problem with iMovie.
    Everytime I open iMovie on any user, the notorious "Missing Quicktime Components" message comes up.
    When I click "OK" iMovie opens normally. And at first I thought nothing was wrong. But then I noticed I can't export movies, import things from my cameras, change the lengths of titles, and change the speed of my clips...
    I have been searching everywhere and have tried almost everything to fix it.
    I deleted the iMovie cache stuff and plist, updated my computer, deleted iMovie and reinstalled it via the app store, with no luck.
    A lot of people suggest reinstalling through the start up discs but here's the thing:
    1. My laptop is 4 years old. I have no idea where those discs are at this point.
    2. My macbook was brand new in 2009, came with iLife 09. I purchased iMovie 11 through the app store, without a disc, so I basically have iMovie 11 and iPhoto 09 and Garageband 09. If I found my start up discs, wouldn't it just reinstall iMovie 09? I really don't want to buy the whole iLife 11 disk package, especially since I've heard it hasn't even fixed the problem for some people.
    Please help.
    I have a MacBook Pro from 2009
    Running on Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    iMovie 11 version 9.0.9 (says my computer is incompatible to update to the newest purple icon version... not that i really want to it has terrible reviews!)
    Thanks!

    Alright so I solved my own problem after hours and hours of google searches.
    What worked was I reinstalled Mountain Lion on my laptop
    I found the cause of the problem as well, if anyone out there is curious if they have the same issue.
    What happened was, iMovie told me to delete some third party video conversion stuff and when I deleted that I also accidentally deleted those super important Quicktime codecs.
    You can check if you have the same problem as me by opening Finder. Click "Go" in the top bar, "Computer" in the drop down list. Select "Macintosh HD" from the Finder window, click on the folder labeled "Library", then click on the folder labeled "Quicktime". Inside the Quicktime folder you should see these two little icons labeled "AppleIntermediateCodec.component" and "AppleMPEG2Codec.component"
    If you do not have these iMovie can't function properly.
    First, check your trash! If you accidentally deleted it, those are what you're looking for to take out.
    If you were dumb like me and emptied your trash, just reninstall Mountain Lion. The codec components of Quicktime come with Mountain Lion so they're not something you can download from the internet or pay for. Reinstalling takes FOREVER but it works.
    To reinstall Mountain Lion:
    -Restart your computer, while it's on the gray start up screen hold the buttons "Command" and the letter "R"
    -A gray screen and box should open up, simply click the Reinstall button and after a couple hours your problem will be fixed!
    Reinstalling DOES NOT delete any of your stuff!
    (Unless something goes wrong)
    I really hope this helps!

  • QuickTime, AVI, Codec

    Okay, so first off, I have searched and searched and searched for the answer to my question, but I haven't had any luck finding a resolution.
    I downloaded some .avi files (and yes, I realize .avi files are the devil, so no need to harp). I was able to get the actual video playing in QuickTime by downloading a DivX codec that the QuicktTime site suggested. However, I have no sound.
    And I realize this is pretty hit or miss regarding what codec I need, and I've downloaded a lot just to try. Nothing seems to be working though.
    So as someone else suggested I went ahead and downloaded Perian, however still no sound.
    I got info on the movie and under format it says:
    , 704 x 400, Millions
    'ms ', Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    So I'm hoping someone can suggest something else to try, or at least advise me if I should just trash these avi files (although, I'd really rather not) and forget about it.
    And, one other question, even if there's no sound in QuickTime due to codecs, if I were to burn these files to a DVD does anyone know if there would be sound for the finished disk?
    Thanks in advance for the helpful, relevant answers.

  • Premiere Pro Update 7.2.1 has lost Video Codec

    When I'm Exporting a video the option for Video Codec Tap under the Export Settings has been removed with the new Update, on the 19th December 2013. Can anyone help tell me how I can export my video as a 1080p ProRes 422 (HQ).
    Thanks        
    WilliamAplin

    for all interested - i solved the problem.
    after a few tryouts the system kept spitting out this error: "Adobe QT32server.exe The program can't start becaue MSVCP80.dll is missing"
    this got solved by reinstalling the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
    with the error message gone nothing really changed - premiere pro CC insisted on not reading prores files while still reading dnxhd files from the black magic cinema camera.
    i reinstalled the whole CC suite - same situation.
    last but ot least i tried to uninstall anything with an apple logo on it - just to find out that you can not remove all of the components entirely without using 3rd party tools.
    after that i reinstalled the prores decoder 1.0 along with the latest quicktime version (7.7.5).
    voilá.

  • What can I do to improve a blurry quicktime video that was SMS'd to me it is a 1.24MB .mov file and I have QuicktimePro. It was taken on an Iphone but I am not sure with what software.

    What can I do to improve a blurry Quicktime video that was SMS' texted to me? I think it was taken on an Iphone and it was sent to me as a 1.24MB .mov file and I have Quicktime Pro if that helps. I REALLY need to make this as clear as possible, the audio is good, video is blurry. Here is some additional data:

    anything I can even try? Sender is off the grid? I don't need a production ready copy just viewable?
    You can rescale (stretch) the size of the display but this will only make it blurier and/or introduce pixellation. When the file was encoded at a lower resolution much of the original data was thrown away to make the file smaller. This data is gone/missing and cannot be recreated from what is left. What you've got is all you have to work with. Any filters you can apply will require re-compressing the file again which will likely introduce more artifacts and increase the size of the file without really improving its overasll quality.

  • Firefox Embedded Quicktime Video does not seem to be working

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with Quicktime Videos that run using the Quicktime plug-in in the Firefox browser. I am not having similar problems with Safari and much of what I have been reading seems to talk about the Flash problem (which is not the same). I am on OSX 10.4.11 (852167), kernel Darwin 8.11.1, Firefox version 2.0.0.9, and Quicktime plug-in version 7.3.
    The videos I was trying to play are on the startrek.com site (specifically, http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TOS/episode/68730.html then click on the "Remastered Episode Preview" link -- it is a JavaScript popup from that point). The result is a pop-up with a white box where the video should be and all of the quicktime controls at the bottom. At first it seemed intermittent (maybe one out of three times the video played). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all (could just be that I cleared the cache and it was picking that up).
    I did try it with Safari and this video (and the others, of course -- that is just a test case) always works. I dug through the Apple support forum and the mozilla forum for firefox, but couldn't find anything specific to this problem.
    Thank you for your help,
    Jim

    HI and I am perplexed.
    I have the newest update for Quicktime on my Powermac Yosemite, 1gb ram and Flip4Mac installed. I have configured the prefernces for both the system prefs part and the QT prefs but I can not see the video...I can hear the music which this makes the 4th time I have installed it and I finally hear it but no pictures.
    I don't know what to do. I have OS 10.3.9, updated QT to the latest version, installed Flip4mac, fixed the prefs and even rebooted to the Panther 10.32 cd and used the Disk Utility to repair all hd's and repair permissions to the OS partition.
    As I said I can now hear the vid but no images appear. We are trying to use the vids (.wmv) to show off our members chosen each month but the few of us mac users only get moozik...lol
    I have tried .avi, .wmv and .swf, the latter I can see and hear but very choppy. In OS 9 I knew there were several codecs that needed to be installed but I thought they were installed with Panther.
    The url of the movie is Stormi's Artist of the Month Video ***may contain some nudity but it is not real people it is 3d art***

  • Settings to export a Quicktime video to play smoothly on an iBook G3

    Hi, now I that I have an A/V cable for my iBook, I can hook it up to my TV to watch videos, etc. The problem is, a lot of videos do not play smoothly because the processor is only 500 Mhz G3.
    I have tried to "re-enocde" the videos at a smaller size, etc thinking that they might play better, but haven't been able to find a set of settings that works.
    For example, right now I want to re-encode the Apple Keynote from the other day so I can watch it on TV. I tried doing this with the last Apple keynote and was never able to keep the picture smooth and the audio in sync. It was a disaster no matter what I tried, and I ended up just watching it on another computer - although i'd rather watch it on my TV from the couch!
    I do have Quicktime PRO, so if anyone could give me some suggestions in re-compressing this video, that would be great!
    Thanks!

    Tilting at windmills if I ever saw it.
    You could download the iTunes version (a little over one gigabyte) to have a file to work with and use QuickTime Pro to export.
    You would then switch to the MPEG-4 Video codec rather than use the H.264 version that is nearly impossible play without issues on a G3.
    Cut the frame rate in half (30 down to 15) and do the same with the data rate (not sure of those values).
    Size the file at 640X480 (not sure of the actual dimensions so check the aspect) and leave the audio track the same. Wait (probably a very long time) for the export to complete.
    You could test a few one minute "cuts" from the source to check your settings so you really don't waste a lot of time.

Maybe you are looking for
