Movie fps VS playing fps in quicktime inspector

using a 30FPS movie as example...
movie fps is the real FPS of movie.
playing fps is the FPS of:
A. the movie actual playback FPS (meaning even though it says 30 FPS it might not be)
B. the movie is indeed 30FPS but playback FPS is just FPS of playback as effected by system performance in qt player. but in an NLE it will playback true 30 FPS

The actual FPS might be 30, but the Inspector in QT Player will tell you how fast IT can play back the video. Might be 30fps, might be 27fps...whatever it can do. But the actual REAL FPS will still be 30fps.

An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

Quicktime movies aren't playing well w/ Quicktime upgrade

I upgraded to quicktime 7.5. b/c I upgraded itunes and itunes wouldn't run w/o it. Now the movies that I made aren't playable in quicktime. The audio plays fine but images are at a slow frame rate kinda like a bad streaming video.

ive had the same problems since quite some time, it started when OSX was updated to 10.4.11.
the newer iTunes wouldn't smoothly play any MPEG4 movies i'd previously had running smoothly,
i was using a rather old G4/450,through OSX 10.4.7 and '9, it was encoding DVD's to MP4, and iTunes was encoding for ipod etc, all running really well.
until i got the 10.4.11 update, I also updated iTunes (and obviously had to upgrade Quicktime as a condition) - suddenly iTunes, cannot play any of the files well.....i knew it was nothing to do with the MP4's 'cos they'd been fine until after the updates....and quicktime wasn't as smooth either.
i suspect it has something to do with updating the OS and Apple 'tuning' it for newer faster machines/CPU speeds, and leaving older (but previously well enough equipped) machines with an OS that lets them down when it comes to managing the throughput of files for this kind of streaming.
at the time i realised this, i did a backup - then a clean install of OSX previous to 10.4.11, and the related iTunes/Quicktime.....it solved the issue completely.
but more recently i decided to instead keep up to date with the OS (and use 10.4.11) but re-encode the iTunes MP4's at a lower rate. it seems that before the 10.4.11 & iTunes/QT related updates, an old G4/450 could quite easily run any 1400kb/s MP4 movies, but after the updates, it would really only play anything 700-900(max) kb/s.
at the time i was thoroughly pixxed off with these updates for clogging up old machines/CPU that were completely up to the task, just to feed the power hungry new machines. it would be better if they tried to keep older products well - it would make Apple look like builders of great machines.

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.

My older M-JPEG quicktime movies play black in Quicktime and Keynote

I was just recently asked to give a presentation that I had put together 3 years ago in Keynote. All of my quicktime movies that Keynote were using were M-JPEG and used to all play great the last time I opened my file. Since Then I've updated my OS to 10.7.1, I have a Macbook Pro, Quicktime 10.1, Keynote 09, but also have Quicktime Pro.
When I play my keynote, all of my movies come up black when they play. If I try and open my quicktime movies directly and play them in Quicktime or Quicktime pro, they also come up black. But I can open it in VLC and it plays fine.
I tried to start converting the quicktime movies using SmartConverter, but it's time consuming since I have over 50 quicktime movies that this keynote is referencing. Some of the quicktime movies are also erroring out too when trying to convert them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with M-JPEG quicktime movies that used to work just fine? Anything I could do across the board to be able to use these rather than converting them all?
Thanks,
Dale

QuickTime in Lion is not reliable as of 10.7.1. The next OS update will fix this. Should be out tomorrow when Apple updates all of its software for iCloud.
See if your problems are gone then.

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." What can I do?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. I receive the following error message:
You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete. So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it. Now I reinstall it and the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7. SMH....Now what.?

Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Quicktime movie HD file I received won't play when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3, it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type?

Large, 5min long Quicktime .mov HD file I received says it's converting when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3 but then stops and tells me it's not a supported file type, a program I downloaded to try and convert the file type also told me the same thing.
Doesn't let me see a preview so I think the file is to blame.
I believe it's a faulty file as it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type but is there any way to be sure?
(Doesn't open in iTunes.)

50 fps is play to fast on time line , PLEASE HELP EMERGEANCY

Hi.
We has shooted yesterday on RED in 3K 50fps(slow motion)
When i play QT rpoxy files, its OK, but when i do Log&Transfer RED files in FC and then put them on timeline they play very fast! The FCP creat automaticly project with 25fps.I tryed to convert with REDRushes to ProRes422 files. And get same result.They play Ok in QuickTime but play fast on timeline when i drag them.Just one differece is- Proxy files dont play on time line(i get red line,- need to render),but converted qt files(ProRes) play with no prob on timeline(but very fast)
Ok, Of course i can do render proxy files in FC(Need Render),but he need 24hours for it.Bu i have not much time
What shoud i do?!!
Please help!
Thank you!

Call your local user's group and see if someone with a much faster computer will come to your help. I don't think you can move forward until you render. Once rendered you should be able to change the speed of the clip to anything you want or need (modify - change speed - etc.). I hope someone who knows more than me responds, but that's all I can think of.
Goog luck,

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?

"Export as Quicktime Movie" -- won't play on other computers

When I use the "Export as Quicktime Movie" option and try to play it back on a Mac without FCP installed, it is missing components and won't play back in Quicktime Player. Of course, I can export with various compressions and then it's fine, but sometimes I want that big "original" file. Any thoughts? Thanks!

You do need the codec you are exporting to installed in the other machine if you wish to play the exported file. A variety of codecs are available only with FCP installed.
A couple of possible solutions are a very high res H.264 or Download [ProRes decoder|http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac] to share a prores file between machines.

In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.
