New HD Video + "old" Quicktime Movies

I want to purchase an HD camcorder. Vixia HF M30.
I have existing Quicktime movies saved as standard video - and will make more standard videos in software named Anime Studio.
Can I edit (combine) HD video and standard video in a iMovie project? Can the source video clips be of differing resolution?

The support article you refer to is for iTunes for Windows and is not applicable to Mac OS X. QuickTime is part of Mac OS X and is always installed, though with earier versions of Mac OS X it's possible to not have it current. That's not a factor if you have OS X 10.7.2.
I don't have a solution at this time, but I wanted to at least point out that the article wasn't applicable. Someone else here may have suggestions.
Regards.

  • No Video On Old Quicktime Movie

    I have an old QT movie that was recorded in "Integer )Big Endian), Cinepak". Since the last QT upgrade, it will no longer play any video. If I open it with VLC, it plays, but with degraded quality.
    What happened? Any fix other than using VLC?
    TIA.

    Tried what you mentioned in the last post. I checked the Quicktime folder in both machines and they match exactly.
    As an experiment, I tried copying the contents of the Quicktime folder of the G5 to the MacBook pro after re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2 again... and NOTHING! Still get just a blank white screen and audio.
    When I do the "Get info" from Quicktime, it tells me the format is: HDV 1080i60
    I really thought copying the contents, ALL the contents, was really going to do it! I'm losing my mind at this point!
    Again, thank you so much for the help... In the meantime, I will endeavor to persevere!

  • Old quicktime movies don't play, missing "fade in" file

    When I try and open a quicktime movie that I created in imovie it tells me, it can't play movie because it's missing "fade in 04 file".
    It makes me try and locate it but I can't find it.

    How would you suggest saving project files for make DVDs later?
    Usually the easiest is to simply keep the iMovie project. Buying an external hard disk helps make that possible.
    Another method is to export back to the camera, then re-import the tape as needed. That will preserve most clips as clips. You won't be able to edit things like titles, however.
    If the project will fit an a DVD, then burning the project directly to a DVD as a data file -- not going through iDVD -- lets you archive it in its original condition. When you want to use it again, you'll drag it back to your hard disk.
    Exporting to a Full Quality movie works, but you lose the ability to edit the video without re-importing it to iMovie, and you lose the "clip-ness" of clips. It's an option to consider if it saves a lot of disk space, where the timeline movie is a lot shorter than the project audio and video. If the project doesn't use a lot of the video you imported, then exporting to a Full Quality movie may save considerable disk space.

  • ERROR Exporting HD video to Quicktime Movie

    I'd appreciate any help with this.
    I have several 4-6 minute videos shot in HDV 1080i60 and edited in Final Cut Pro 5.0. Each time I attempt to export the sequences (Quicktime conversion > H.264), the exporting process seems to begin... but after something in the range of 30-40 minutes I get a "General Error" message. I've tried several different setting configurations and believe that my sequence/timeline settings are properly set. Ready to check and re-check anything suggested.
    Thanks,
    bec

    31.57 GB available.
    I have performed the export procedure described, and countless other attempted combinations. I can't get the video out of FCP, using QT conversion or QT Movie option.
    One thing I just tried, using a small 30 second clip, is using Compression out of FCP rather than either of the QT options. The 30 second clip seems to have exported properly. The same clip, when I attempt to export using the QT options, produces a General Error message. I've never used Compressor to export before now. I'm going to try the full length (5 minute) video via Compressor and see what happens. Anyone ideas why this might be happening? An Apple rep suggested that my FCP 5.0 needs to be updated to 6.0.
    Thanks,

  • Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

    I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

    Thank you so much for replying.
    I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
    I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
    I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
    My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
    I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
    Let me know any suggestions.
    Thank you

  • Mystery Quicktime Movie - codec to open it???

    Hi All
    Trying to rescuscitate an old Quicktime movie and QT Pro 7 doesn't seem to have the codec any more.
    The file is a Quicktime .MOV file, 720x480 NTSC but the codec is an Integer (Big Endian) vid DV codec.
    Movie was originated on Avid XPress Pro, I believe.
    Presently running OS 10.4.8 on a Mac dual G5 and QT Pro 7.1.3. Also have FCP 5.1.4 installed, but it won't open the file's picture at all.
    Audio opens up just fine.
    Need to get this file converted into something I can use! Could you suggest a codec that allows it to open on just about any computer?
    Thanks!
    Cheers
    Chris
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I Have FCP and I do have an Avid DV codec. I was able to take a .mov and convert it to the Avid codec. And was able to open it up in Quicktime.
    Check your codecs in the Export settings in Quicktime and see if you this codec in the drop down menu. If not, I don't know how you would get it (other that it came with FCP). And if you do and you still can't open the video file. Your best bet is to post this in the FCP forum for an anwer.

  • Audio and Video option missing from Export Quicktime Movie Include

    Today as I was exporting a clip, I noticed that the Audio and Video option was missing from the Include drop down. I only have the options of Left, Center, Right.
    I highlight the sequence, control E (or File>Export>Quicktime Movie) and the Save window comes up. The Settings drop down is the same, the Markers: drop down is the same, but the Include: has the options of Left, Center and Right. I thought the Video and Audio dropdowns were always there. I hate to admit it, but I have not paid attention to them in a while. Getting old I guess.

    Thanks, forgot about that.
    For what ever reason it started working correctly a couple of hours later, after I started an SD project. The video came out fine
    I had been trying out a couple new applications, so maybe one was causing it. I will see if it happens in the future.

  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

  • Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

    Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.  The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page.  I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video.  I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

    I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
    That should work well in YouTube.
    If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings,  here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
    follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
    In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
    Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
    Data Rate: Automatic
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Unchecked
    Audio/Sound settings
    Format: AAC
    Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
    Other settings
    Size: Choose the original size of the video

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • 4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

    4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

    Let me try again, Chenks. I'm a technical person by profession, and so can get deeper into things like this, but I have not attempted to use these methods of communication in the past. I'm trying to get some feedback to Apple on their worsening a product and really messing with existing customer configurations. I'll try to break things up below.
    1. Configuration:
    Existing Apple TV and Mac Mini configuration in place since December 2010.
    Three Apple TVs, one in Family Room for music and movies, one in Master Bedroom for music and movies, the third one in the Living Room for music only.
    I'm using iTunes as library. (Probably an obvious statement, but wanted to mention that.)
    2. Pre 4.2.1
    No problems at any location since configuration finalized and all equipment installed in December.
    Since December, Family Room entertainment equipment was updraded to a new Sony Bravia 3D, and a new Pioneer receiver. The Master Bedroom still has the original Toshiba 32HLC56 TV. That unit has only one HDMI input. I'm using the built-in speakers. This TV/Monitor is about fives years old.
    3. Problem
    I updated the software in two of the Apple TVs to 4.2.1. I updated the Family Room device and the Master Bedroom device. I had not updated the Living Room device.
    After updating to 4.2.1, the Family Room equipment works fine. That's the location with the newer TV and receiver.
    The Master Bedroom has different problems with different movies: e.g. "The Little Mermaid:" video, no audio. "The Lion King:" movie wont start at all.
    Additionally, in the Master Bedroom some movies work fine, other movies start but immediately go into pause mode. Pressing pause button on Apple remote will not initiate start of movie, screen does "flicker" for a moment but movie does not start to play, showing only the last frame that had been streamed.
    4. Not really a problem for me.
    Fortunately for me, I had not updated the Apple TV in the living room so I used it to troubleshoot the problem. Initially I thought it was a defective Apple TV in the Master Bedroom. I took the unit to the Apple Store in town and they exchanged it for me. I brought the replacement Apple TV home but I did not install it immediately.
    While testing the Master Bedroom set up once again to make it was working for our afternoon movie watching, I was again reminded that a software update was available. That message came up because it was the unit I had brought over from the Living Room. I proceeded to update the Apple TV to the new software version (4.2.1).
    As soon as I "updated" the software in the Apple TV to the new 4.2.1, the same problems manifested themselves. At that point I suspected that the problem was with 4.2.1, and not with the hardware.
    I called Apple Support and went through a series of troubleshooting techniques. We tested the Apple TV with the new 4.2.1 installed in it. This is the unit which originially in the Living Room. Under the direction of the Apple TV support technician, I used the Family Room gear and the Master Bedroom gear to try and isolate the problem to hardware or software.
    We eliminated the following as potential problems:
    a. TV speakers in the Master Bedroom
    b. HDMI cable
    c. Ethernet connection
    5: Conclusion:
    Fortunately for me, again, the Apple TV that the Apple Store had given me that morning still had 4.1.1. So I installed that unit in the Master Bedroom and everything started working normal again.
    6. Side note:
    An interesting observation: In early March I copied several movies from the Mac Mini to my iPad and some to my wife's iPad. All movies worked fine on our flight out and while we were away.
    My wife recently (about a week ago) updated the software in her iPad. and now some of the movies that played just fine on her iPad are exhibiting the same problems as the Master Bedroom TV when it is connected to an Apple TV with software 4.2.1.
    Apple has been trying to fix some problems in 4.2 when it released 4.2.1. I make that observation based on recent articles I found on the web. Most likely the Apple engineers were trying to fix things in one place and broke them in another.
    Clear as mud, isn't it?
    7. In closing:
    I'm good to go, I just need to remember not to update the software in the Master Bedroom Apple TV. I want to keep that unit at 4.1.1. It's possible that Apple might come to the realization that they hosed things for some of us. Because I do have three units in my home, I can experiement with the other two units should a "fix" come out. I can then update one of the two devices, connect it to the Master Bedroom TV, and see if the problem was corrected. If not, I stay with 4.1.1. But I'm not convinced that Apple will see this as their problem, it's always easier to point elsewhere.

  • I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie.  I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

    find the info anywhere in help.

    I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

  • Video Encoding/Capture software for Quicktime movie format

    Hi,
    We are exploring using the Quicktime .mov format for encoding live video & audio. It seems that QuickTime for Windows only allows recording Audio. The new Movie Recording option under the File menu which is present in the Mac version is not available on the Windows version. I want to find out if anyone knows of any good encoding software for the Quicktime .mov format. We want to record in either H.264 format or better quality and we want to use 240 kbps (or better) data rate.

    I used the cd-rom option and it worked!
    ... ALL iM's preset do work for youtube uploads...
    but...:
    youtube videos have a certain size, allow certain framerates, and get converted into flash-video format.. therefore, the input-format should fullfill some minimum quality ...
    e.g. this video (a filmschool project with some REALLY sad story... ehm, well, film-school... )
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvdiQrddZ7o
    was uploaded with "my" settings .. done with a 3ccd miniDV camcorder and edited in iMovie...
    movements are smooth, details crystal clear...

  • Quicktime Movie File/ MPEG-4 Video File

    how come for some of my video podcasts they are in teh MPEG-4 Video file format, while others are in Quicktime Movie File format?
    i was j/w this because i noticed it when i jus recently downloaded new podcasts (it was first time downloading a podcast from iTunes 7.0.2) and i was jus wonderin if there is any way to get it into MPEG-4 Video File....because i already right clicked and went to "convert selection for ipod" but then it says it is already in that format, but it is in Quicktime Movie File....
    any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
    transferable to your iPod.
    If you get info on the video file in question what
    does it say?
    when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

  • IMac quicktime movies [HD] play audio only on PC (video is green)

    We have an iMac w/two 500 GB external drives for video storage and a 1 TB TimeCapsule.  The iMac recently stopped running and failed to boot; after opening and reseating the memory, it is back up and running, but fails to recognize either external drive.  In a panic, we copied all the quicktime movies (all our kids baby movies) from the TimeCapsule backups to a separate PC for backup.
    On the PC, the movies play and we hear the audio, but the video is just green.  The same movie plays fine on the iMac, even when playing from the PC hard drive.

    With some googlefu I have found the problem, which lies in the icod or Apple Intermediate Codec which was used to encode the movies when they were imported from my HD camcorder.
    Unfortunately, Apple saw fit to use a proprietary codec on my personal files, limiting their use elsewhere, without any obvious notification before the files were removed from the source device to make space for new movies.  Now I have 550 GB of quicktime movie files readable only with a Mac-based product.
