Movie to Quicktime Move

I am trying to export an mp4 to a Quicktime mov file, but it never finishes. It gets just a little ways into it and stalls. I have version 7.04 and have paid for a key, but it's not working. Please help.

How do you move a quicktime movie from one iphoto library to another?

How do you move a quicktime movie from one iphoto library to another?

1 - export it from Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with Kind = Original.
2 - import it into Library B as you normally would.

Need to export Movie to Quicktime Movie w/ similar file size and quality.

Let me preface in that I am not in the video editing profession. Many times I have exported my work to the professionals. I'm sure knowing what you're doing is half of the battle. Here is my dilemma. First, I'm using Quicktime pro just to add a text track to the movie. I then save the file as what Quicktime pro calls Movie .mov. This looks good and has the quality of the original .mov and the small data size. However, no other player than quicktime will recognize the text track. I then tried exporting from Movie to quicktime movie format (still .mov, can anyone explain the difference of the two .mov types???), but I find that the image quality is poor. Yet, in the quicktime format other players (except windows media player) recognize the text track. By poor quality I mean that I think what I have is the blocking effect. I assume that this is due to the bitrate being to low. Again, I would like to keep the file size low and managable for data storage and downloading purposes. I was hoping that in the end all video players would be able to have no issues.
My current file sized are all less than 1MB and are of good quality.
Just adding a small test track the Movie .mov is still less than 1MB
The size of the image is 512x512
I should also say that I'm a PC user with a quicktime pro windows version. I'm sure that doesn't help me one bit!! However, I believe my issues are more with the fact that I'm not experienced in compressing files and knowing exactly the right settings.
Here is what I've tried thus far. Movie to quicktime movie
H264 codec
Current for fps (Which is in the original is 8fps)
Key frames automatic
frame reordering checked
I've tried Automatic data rate and setting the bit rate, even at 2000kbps (the quality is low). My original movie with the highest kbps is only 1151kbps and has no artifacts
encoding Best quality multi-pass
custom size 512x512
deinterlace checked

am i correct that this 'my photo stream' process is not removing any image data?
Yes, as long as you have iPhoto's iCloud preference pane configures as follows:
You're be getting the full image file, pixel dimensions, etc. which is essentially a bit by bit copy of the photo on the Phone.
When you add tags and other metadata and export the file out of iPhoto as a jpeg with the checkboxes selected to include that metadata there will be some image compression. However, if one chooses High or even Medium JPEG Quality one will be hard pressed to detect any image degradation unless printing very, large prints or otherwise displaying the image at a very, large size.
I ran a test on a 1.4 MB photo from my iPhone and compared the original to two exports, one at High and the other at Medium JPEG Quality and got these results:

Move a quicktime movie to apple tv

I recently made a movie in iMovie, I accidently deleted the original imovie file, but I have both a DVD copy of the original and Quicktime file of the movie. For the life of me I cant figure out how to either save the DVD copy as a new file in imovie or take the quicktime file and move it to movies on my appletv. When I drag and drop the quicktime file on to itunes movie it doesnt appear. Any help....thx dave

I'm guessin the quicktime movie is DV as suggested and that it won't drop into itunes because of it's size.
If you haven't bought Quicktime pro you won't have it, it's not free and will cost you $ 30 (I think).
If you don't want to do that you have a few options but the two that have been discussed here are handbrake and mpegstreamclip. Both are free and good quality products but you might want to consider which route you want to go down.
Handbrake is easier to use than mpegstreamclip but there's a bit more to it than that. You might want to try to understand the type of compression used in each option.
DV, this is likely the compression type used by your camera, imovie and I'm guessin the compression type your quicktime movie is in. DV is basically the best standard definition compression at consumer level. It involves very large file sizes and let's say a quality of 100%.
Mpeg4/10 (AVC), This is the compression type you will use to make your movie compatible with tv. It will reduce the size of your DV file to less than 10% of it's original size for a small loss in quality of lets say 20 %.
Mpeg2, This is the compression used when you made your DVD, it reduces DV sizes down to about 25 % of there original size for a let's say 20 % reduction in quality.
The actual reduction in quality here is my guess work but you get the idea.
The other things you need to remember are that you can never regain quality you have lost and every time you convert you will lose quality.
So we already have the mpegstreamclip scenario, you'd be going from DV to AVC and losing about 20 % quality.
If you use handbrake, you've already lost 20% of your quality because you are starting off with mpeg2 which has been converted from your original DV. However even though AVC is the same quality at a smaller size you will still lose some quality because of the conversion process. So your end result may be a 30% loss in quality compared to a 20% loss by using handbrake.
The first thing to do is to make sure you do have DV in your quicktime file. Open it in Quicktime and from the windows menu select the movie inspector and fom the window that appears take note of the format.
Having done that decide which route you want to go down, do a search for the appropriate software and download it. Handbrake will convert your DVD, mpegstreamclip your QT file. If you want any help with setting just post back.

Compressing HD Movie into Quicktime Movie

Im trying to compress a movie i made with imovie HD into Quicktime Movie but it always fail, iMovie HD is not responding... i was able to compress it into Mpg & AVI so I dont understand why I cant compress it into quicktime... anyone ?
thanks in advance!

Are you storing your projects on a hard drive formatted as FAT32? FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB.

Exporting Flash Movie to QuickTime Movie...

I am having problems Exporting from Flash to QT. I go through the steps and all appears to going well, except when it comes to the final bars of export, that is when the exporting stops. What is going on here? Any suggestion on correcting the problem? Please help.
boijacks

The same thing happens to me. It is a bug with Adobe Flash. I convert my Flash projects with Visual Hub or After Effects CS4. Handbrake can convert Flash to QT now, but the quality, while acceptable is not as good as Visual Hub which is now out of business.
The other thing that I suggest is lengthen your time when coverting to QT so as not to chop off your video. Then edit, cut the excess time in QT pro.

When i want to export movie as a quicktime movie in imovie09 i've saved it, it exports somewere, take a hard drive space but movie does not exist or i can't find it, please any help

In imovie (8.0.6) i click share, then export movie as quicktime movie, choose a folder then click save and it starts working. At the end of job movie is not there but hard disc space is gone. So I'm keep loosing space but not getting movie. Please can someone help me with this.

If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

Convert a movie from Quicktime to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip

I want to convert a movie from Quicktime (.mov) which I created in Final Cut Express to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip to be able to see it on my Samsung TV. The problem is that the uncompressed movie, comverted only from Quicktome to MPEG 4, stops almost every moment on my Samsung TV. I have connected an external harddrive in NTFS there via USB 2.0 (Samsung TV cannot play movies in HFS etc.). The uncompressed movies are bigger than 4GB in Quicktime.
I got the following information from Samsung (in German):
"Sie berichten, dass Filme zum Laden stoppen, die auf Ihrem MacBook Pro flüssig laufen. Bitte beachten Sie hierbei, dass der Fernseher hinsichtlich Rechenleistung nicht mit einem Computer vergleichbar ist. Weiters verfügt der Fernseher über einen USB 2.0 Anschluss, was die übertragbare Datenmenge ebenfalls begrenzt.
Die allgemeinen Spezifikationen für Videodateien finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch ab Seite 248:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201112/20111208190112921/Web_GSDVBE UA_GER.pdf
Auf Seite 251 finden Sie für MPEG4-Videos folgende Beschränkung: Bei "mehr als 1280 x 720: max. 30 Frames".
Als Alternative schlagen wir Ihnen vor, Ihr MacBook Pro per HDMI direkt an den Fernseher anzuschließen, die Videos auf dem MacBook Pro abzuspielen und den Fernseher als Monitor zu verwenden. In diesem Fall entfallen die vorher genannten Beschränkungen."
I ask here how to use MPEG streamclip (free version; I use 1.9.2) so convert my movies into MPEG 4 so that I cann watch it on my Samsung TV.
I filled out "Bildrate" "30" but this did not work. I have chosen less quality but there are still - less - interruptions and I find it laborious to test different versions of less quality so that it might work.
I ask you also because I want to create my movies to give it to other people via the internet (f.i. via rapidshare) but I need a smaller size of my movies and do not know all the different TVs my friends have. I cannot imagine that it is not possible to create a movie in MPEG 4 that cannot be seen in many TVs via an external harddrive?

I know that I can do that also in FCE. It takes much more time to convert a movie into MPEG4 than to export it as uncompressed movie in QuickTime which I can use f.i. in iDVD to burn a DVD or watch it on my MBP.
But I don't know the versions of TVs of other people if I want to send them the movie via internet f.i. via mydrive.ch etc. which have limited space if used for free. So which settings to choose for an output in MPEG4?
For my one use it is o.k. if the movie can be seen correctly in MPEG4 on my TV but I can also watch it via my MBP on my TV via HDMI.

Black screen appears after exporting to Quicktime movie

I'm having trouble exporting a time-lapse video to a QT movie. The screen is always black when I try to watch the finished product. Here's what I'm doing:
I import the jpeg files into QT 7 Pro using "Open Image Sequence." At this point I'm able to watch the video in QT. Now I want to export it to a QT movie so I can import that file into iMovie. From "File," I choose "Export>Movie to QuickTime Movie." I check the Options button to view the Settings and Size. Settings show compression is Apple Intermediate Codec, with Frame Rate set to "Current." Size is HD 1280 x 720, with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" box checked. I give the file a name, hit "Save" and it begins to export.
When that's done, I go to my desktop and click on the newly created movie file, which opens in QT version 10.1. However, the movie shows up as a black screen.
Can anyone spot the error in what I'm doing? It's got to be something simple. I've created a time-lapse using these steps (I think) before, so I don't think there's a bug in the program anywhere. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Btw...My OS is 10.7.4. I'm also not trying to create a movie with an audio component -- this is only video.

Not exactly an error, but I do have a question. If you are sourcing JPEG images to an image sequence file which creates a QT Photo JPEG compression file which is already import/edit compatible with iMovie and currently plays in the QT 7 Player correctly without a "black screen" problem, why are you exporting the data to the AIC compression format instead of simply saving the Photo JPEG sequence file and importing it directly to iMovie?

Quicktime movie opens really slowly...

I just uploaded a movie to my website, and the big "Q" logo shows for a REALLY long time before the player shows up. What causes this, and how can I fix it?

Basically your movie was not created using the "Fast Start" option. Therefore, when the movie page opens it caches the entire movie to the viewers computer before displaying the poster frame in the player controller. Rather than using the e-mail pre-set, you might try sharing/exporting by using the "Movie to QuickTime Movie" option. One of the available user options in this work flow is "Prepare for Internet Streaming." Simply check this option and select the "Fast Start" pop-up. This tells the browser player to automatically start playing the movie while it is still downloading/caching the movie. Delay in this case will be determined by the size/data rate of your movie and the user's connection speed.

QuickTime Movie not importing

I have a file of Halloween video shot by a professional. He gave them to me in .mov - kind: Quicktime movie. I downloaded them from his portable drive directly onto my desktop. The folder has 30 clips in it, with a total of 11.85GB of info - so I know there is something there.
I cannot open them in Quicktime version 10.0 - when I try I get this message:
The document “Halloween001.mov” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.
the icon next to each title is the Quicktime icon, so I don't know what's up with that. When I click on the "Learn more" button it takes me to the Apple support page that talks about Codecs. That page seemed to be saying that I needed one of the other products listed there to convert the video, so I bought iLife 9, installed it, but it has not helped.
If try to use the Import Movies command, all the .mov files are grayed out.
I downloaded MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b2, and tried to convert the clips into other formats - like the Apple Intermediate Codec suggested in another post. Basically the clip seems to open, but it is blank - black screen, and no audio.
Interestingly, when I tried to open them in iTunes, I could hear the audio, but the image remained black.
I figure I need to know 2 things - what was the original format the video was shot in, and how he converted it - but this is a busy guy so I want to make sure I ask him the correct questions the first time - that is what I am hoping you can help me with... what do I need to ask the original videographer about the format...
from there I assume you can help me figure out why my Quicktime player won't recognize Quicktime videos, and what program I need to convert these files into a format that I can use in iMovie.
any help with this is greatly appreciated ... this footage is a Halloween production that I wrote, directed and produced (as well as co-starring in LOL). It is valuable family History so my kids can remember what a kook their Mom was

Actually, my friend would probably be willing to supply the video clips in some other format, if you can tell me the format that is best for him to give them to me in...
I am really new at working with video so I don't know what to ask him for
MAHALO!!

Quicktime movies slow to upload

Dear Team
Is it possible to get Quicktime movies to be ready to play on accessing the page? At the moment I have four very short movies – each under 4MB on a page. It is taking about a minute, sometimes more, for them to upload. I’ve tried them on individual pages but the same problem.
Also impossible to get them to play all the way through in the program itself – they stop, start and jump.
I have followed instructions and converted movie to Quicktime movie, and then compressed them even more. The file size doesn’t seem to make much difference.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks

Sometimes depends on how you encoded it to begin with...
For example:
Starts right away (that's a tag in iWeb to auto play)--
http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ZacharyFilms/Entries/2007/9/1_ElmoShirt.html
Loads right away but must click play --
http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ThreeBoysMovies/Entries/2007/6/11_Entry1.html
and
Won't register until almost fully loaded
http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ZacharyFilms/Entries/2007/8/25_Portion_ofThyself.html
Not sure why the last one is like that other than in previous versions of QT not associated with iWeb08 (that seems to have fixed this)... I had to encode these movies with fast internet play. But then, if I changed the posterframe it would loose that tag and I'd be left with a slow internet play.
How did you encode and is what's happening to you the THIRD option here?

Has anyone ever tried diplaying a quicktime movie iniweb?

• Movies: Copy QuickTime movies into this folder and you can use HomePage to display them on your Web pages.
this is what the idisk says. u can put quicktime movies in your iweb site. anybody tried this? if so did it work?

This applies to the older Homepages system. If you put QT movie files into this folder, then log into your .Mac Homepages account and start a movie page, you will be prompted to select a movie from this Movies folder. This is unrelated to iWeb, but it could certainly be used in concert with an iWeb site.

Flash type movie controller for Quicktime movies.

I plan on changing flash movies to Quicktime movies on some websites I manage so that they will play on iPads and iPhones but I want a movie controller that disappears when the cursor is not over the movie and I want a movie controller that is semi transparent like flash movie skins. All I get is the same "old" controller that has been on Quicktime movies for 15 years. How do it?

Here's my implementation of the HTML5 videos :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/camendesign/
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/camendesign/compact.html
Look at the source to see how it's done.
Camendesign defaults from *HTML5 MP4* to *HTML5 OGG* to QuickTime to Flash.
The compact.html page is my implementation. It's the easiest to understand and does not use JavaScript.

How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
Apple describes ProRes here:
About Apple ProRes
And in that document says:
"while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import, the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.
