Mov file plays ok in quicktime but video is black in final cut

I'm using Final Cut Pro X - just installed the newest version 10.1.3 and applied all updates.
I have a .mov file that plays fine with QuickTime 7 - but when I import the file into Final Cut pro  only the audio imports.  All video frames are black.
Not all .mov files do this - I have another that worked just fine.
The file was created 7 years ago - probably with Final Cut Studio 2 (I no longer have any older version of FinalCut).
Here is the info from the file that is causing problems:
Screenshot of the import:
Screenshot of same file opened in QuickTime - with Inspector open:
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?
Thanks -

Thank you! 
Looking at the properties in QT7 shows 2 Video tracks - I disabled the second and that corrected the problem - although it does show that it doesn't start until after the 1st Video track is over.  But, I can work with this - thank you.

  • .mov files play on my computer but not on friend's....

    I burned several QuickTimePro-created .mov files to a DVD which I then sent to a friend. When she received it, she was unable to play any of the files and was directed to a webpage with lots of 3rd party plugins with no clear idea which one was needed.
    Under Info on the files I see they are encoded with Sorenson H.263, MPEG Layer 3.
    My friend has regular QuickTime (not Pro).
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help.
    She tried that but still no luck.
    When she tries to play the file, QuickTime launches, bringing up a black box with no video or sound. After trying the maneuver you suggested, the only difference was that a progress bar appeared at the bottom of the black box and moved, as if a video was playing. However, still no video or sound.
    Hmmm.....

  • Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

    hi,
    i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
    is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
    the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
    i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

    I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
    Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
    What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
    On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
    How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

  • Mp4 and/or .mov files play on my computer but not on host server

    I created a movie page using iWeb. When I save it and publish it to a local folder on my computer it works fine. But when I upload it to the server with my host company (not mobileme) the video does not play at all.
    I've been on the phone with the host company and they say the file is too large (90mb) and it takes way too long to load. Another person at the same host company told me that the file had to be converted from mp4 to swf (cant find a free converter to do that with to test it) and lastly I've read and tried some of the post here but they don't work.
    When I check the website on a PC thru IE, it gave me an exclamation mark on the bottom left hand corner of the browser. I clicked on it and here is the error:
    self[...].src' is null or not an object
    iWebSite.js line 496
    I check google for this error but I cannot understand what the problem is.
    If there is anyone out there that can help I would really appreciate it.
    thanks

    The file is a bit big and you would be better to upload it to somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo.
    The suggestion that you convert it to flash is because this is a more universally acceptable format. A lot of PC users don't have QuickTime player installed.

  • Mov file plays well on PC but not on MAC!

    A friend of mine converted a video in QT on his PC and it plays perfectly fine on any PC but when i play that same file on QT for OS X the audio is sped up and is out of sync from the video.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    No, the Mac only displays ONE menu bar also if you connect two monitors. You can select the monitor which should display the menu bar in System Preferences -> Displays.
    Also there is a tool called Secondbar? But never tried it myself.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

    When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
    When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

  • One mov file plays in Media Viewer on Ext Hd Drv, imported into FCPX it plays 5 sec then goes black. No problem with other mov files.

    One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

    Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?
