No audio when I export as a quicktime movie

I am exporting my movie from FCE as a quicktime movie, but there is no audio on the exported file. Why would this be?

The audio tracks are switched off in the timeline. You're not monitoring it properly. Where are you watching in the video? In the QT player? In FCE? Somewhere else? Are there any meters in that application? Are they moving? Is the volume turned up?

My film looses color saturation when I export it to Quicktime Movie from FC

My film looses color saturation and punc when I export it from Final Cut Pro. I have tried Compressor, but I think Compressor is quite difficult to use.......
I did add color in FCPRO with Color Corrector and the saturation slider......
Probably not the best way. But I think using Final Cut Pro is a challenge and using the other applications like COLOR etcetera is a quite heavy task to overcome.....

No - it has no effect whatsoever on either the original captured footage or what is in your project.
It can do no harm.

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

Exporting Custom Resolution Quicktime Movie with Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio

I want to export some 16x9 sequences (and others) at different resolutions with different pixel aspect ratios.
I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie, but I get a codec error (with my required H.264 & AAC audio).
I have tried exporting using Quicktime conversion, but there is nowhere to enter a custom pixel aspect ratio (if they added that as an option in “preserve aspect ratio”, that would be nice).
I have tried exporting using Compressor, but it doesn't seem to accept my setting of pixel aspect ratio (HDV 1080i 16:9)—at least when I play back the video it is not using wide pixels.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I would like to have arbitrary control of the pixel frame size on export as well as arbitrary control of the pixel aspect ratio. However, in this case I specificially want to export some video in a 4:3 pixel arrangement (such as 360x270) but have its display be 16:9 via non-square (i.e. 4:3) pixel aspect ratio.
In that sense, yes, I want to have something play back at 16:9, but at least some of my attempts to export video are squished at 4:3.
While it may be possible to adjust the display in the Quicktime Player, the AVC video syntax as specified by ISO and MPEG standards bodies allow the specification of the pixel aspect ratio (actually sample aspect ratio in the standard) within the bitstream, and when it is there, the latest versions of Quicktime will (from my experience) render the video with the correct aspect ratio.

Random audio dropouts from FCP 4 to Quicktime Movie

Never experienced this headache before, until today...
I've built my project as per usual in FCP4 - no problem. Then I exported project as Quicktime Movie for iDVD4 but I noticed that audio disappeared in two different sections - each portion of silence lasting a minute or so.
I went back to FCP and exported a new Quicktime Movie - almost the same result only audio disappeared in a different section for three minutes or so. Back to FCP and I built my project on a new timeline (Sequence) - same result when I exported to Quicktime but again, dropouts occur in different sections.
At present, I'm exporting each of the 10 Sequences that make up my project as separate Quicktime Movies and so far, I've completed 2 with no audio dropouts.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Cant export to a Quicktime movie! Export fails.

Im trying to export to a Quicktime movie.
I keep getting the error message,
"Operation could not be completed. OSStatus Error -9459."
I got the export to work once and since that I keep getting the error message and failure.
The slide show originally had a couple of Quicktime movies in it as slides.
When I took them out, the export worked once.
But now it simply wont export.
What can I do to fix this?

Terence,
Youre a genius!
It worked.
(My machine was going to sleep while I was trying to export.
I changed settings to prevent sleeping and the render completed.)
Thanks for the help.

ERROR MESSAGE: Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie

I keep getting this message every 2 or 3 files that I try to export a keynote presentation with audio as a movie file.
I'm trying to export movies from presentations that are around 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 min long with audio.
Sometimes Keynote '09 exports the files and sometimes it doesn't.
No idea why.
The exact message says:
Your slideshow cannot be exported as a quicktime movie
There is not enough disk space or there was a problem with the file. Error -1
I have 28 GB of disk available.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Kyn. I checked for missing audio icons, but they are all visible. Besides, I exported different batches of slides, such as 11-20 and 21 - 30 and 11-12, all with the same result. So, it is not just one slide causing the problem.
I was able to save the entire presentation as an iWork 05 document, then export it as QuickTime from Keynote 2 with success. I'd like to get it working in Keynote 3 as well.

Your slideshow cannot be exported as a QuickTime movie.

Hi,
I have created an Keynote presentation and had exported it many times, over and over, since I need it to be exported. Today, I did it three times, and when I went to change the preference for exporting...
I was using Custom > H.264 @ 60frames @ Key all frames @ Multipass.
I wanted to change to > DV-PAL > @ 30frames @ Quality Best @ Scan progressive @ 4:3.
When I tried to export, 1/3 down the export I got the Error -50.

I have enough disk space but what can be wrong with the file?
I have unchecked exit after last slide.
I need answer fast. I cant rebuild the whole presentation.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply.
I used the default "Full Quality, Large" settings, and the Keynote I'm working on is based on Keynotopia's iPhone-mockup/wireframe slides, so they are 640x960 in size. Here is the export screen:
This is on Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest version of Keynote from the App Store.

Exporting MPEG-4 Quicktime movie

I'm trying to export an iMovie MPEG-4 project to Quicktime. The movie size (all clips sizes added together) is around 64MB. I'm setting 'full quality.' The result is a 13MB movie that Quicktime cannot open (simply 'The movie could not be opened').
If I export with 'expert settings' to MPEG-4 it works. I get a 45MB movie out of it that Quicktime can actually play. But why doesn't it work if I just choose 'full quality'? With 'expert settings' the are lot of parameters to set, and honestly I have no idea what are the best settings. What I want out of it is a movie with the same quality as the incoming clips. Since it was reduced to 45MB, I assume it's further compressed. Also, I would prefer that it was more user friendly without a lot of parameters to set. My wife will never be able to use it if she has to go through a lot of settings. Is there an easy, automatic way to do this?

Full Quality exports to a QuickTime movie that's the
same type and quality as the project itself. So a DV
project exports to a DV movie, but an MPEG-4 project
exports to an MPEG-4 movie. (The project type always
determines the export movie type.) Usually the Full
Quality movie isn't good for sharing for it is too
large.
All the other "Compress movie for" popUp menu
selections create an MPEG-4 movie too, suitable for
the item shown in the menu.
There are other ways to export simply too. They all
begin with choosing Expert Settings and hitting the
Share button.
Note the two popUp menus at the bottom of the window
that opens. Use the "Export" popUp to set the type of
export you want. In your case, "Movie to MPEG-4".
Then you can configure your export two ways:
1. Click the "Options" button and configure your own
settings. Not easy to do unless you know quite a lot
about QuickTime.
Or;
2. Set the "Use" popUp to "Broadband - High" or some
other configuration. This popUp lets you pick a
"recommended" group of export settings, eliminating
the need to configure your own.
The various categories in the "Use" popUp are
associated with the purpose of the movie, letting you
pick settings best suited for everything from
high-speed networks to dial-up connections.
Note too that after you set the "Use" popUp, you can
click the "Options" button to examine those settings
and adjust any you want. The bottom of that window
tells you the expected size of the export and other
useful information.
Many of the "Use" popUp menu settings are similar to
the "Compress movie for" settings in the iMovie
export dialog. But "Use" settings are more
configurable and more details are shown.

TIP: it can take a long time to export an iMovie
project. When testing the quality of a particular
export, don't export the entire project. Use the
"Share selected clips only" button in the export
dialog to export a minute or so.
Good idea. Why didn't I think of this? I just tried to export the whole movie repeatedly. The interesting thing is, if I just export a single clip, the resulting movie can be opened by Quicktime (as opposed to the whole movie). Alas, the quality is awfull. The size has been reduced from 9MB to 2MB, so obviously 'full quality' does not preserve the quality.
Also, exporting as MPEG-4 movie (.mp4) doesn't work either, again it reduces the quality. Exporting to QuickTime, but choosing the MPEG-4 coder works, though. There are some settings to choose, but most are straightforward, except 'key frames'. I have no idea what it means, I just set it to 'automatic'? I don't really know how to set the quality slider either. I guess I can experiment, and set it so that the size of the output is approximately the same as the input. I would assume that that means there is no quality loss?
Once I have set up this, it seems iMovie remembers the settings (are those project specific?), and then my wife can just use those without modifying anything.

How to export a multitrack quicktime mov?

Hello,
So I'm trying to export a multitrack quicktime movie, so that my clients on the other end can have all 6 audio tracks laid out on their end. I've tried assigning roles to each track, and exporting using the option (export as multitrack quicktime movie), but it always ends up collapsing all audio tracks into one single track.
Has anyone found a more reliable workaround for this?
Specs. FCPX 10.1.4, OSX 10.10.2

You have to set how you want the roles to be exported in the settings tab.
Use the "Add Audio Track" button to create as many audio tracks as you need, and use the popups to switch the roles on or off, as desired, per track.
For example:

Have new iMac with latest version of quicktime. But still have FCP5. When try to make a quicktime movie this version only processes 8 sec of a 7 minute sequence. What's up?

It is strange. I thought 10.x might be the more recent but it also locked up when I tried to the web export. I ran into the no autoplay issue with the webpage so I'll need to look elsewhere to replace a Flash gallery... oh well. Looks like there are probably JS option that might work.
Thanks.

Audio file missing from MOV when exported as a quicktime movie.

Using Keynote 9, I imported video into presentation that was edited in iMovie 9. When I export the presentation to quicktime movie the audio is missing from the video file. The audio file plays fine in the standard keynote presentation mode.

This is STRICTLY a work around! Official fix will come from Apple as an update more than likely.
Duplicate item first (File > Duplicate). On newly duplicated project change file association type (File > get info). Under name and extension section take out .key). Close Get Info and save with removing .key. Double click to open the file (now a compression). Open uncompressed folder (same name as original file, now shows as a folder). Now in the Data folder find a .mov file named "Recording" with randomly generated letters and numbers behind it. Drag .mov file to desktop or any other directory. Open extracted .mov file with QuickTime to verify integrity. Save as audio file only. Get Info on file again and place .key value at end of file/extension for project. Open project. Under Play menu option delete the recording. Under Audio inspector drag the .mov of audio only to recording back in. Test play project to see if its accurate. Export to QuickTime and see if issue is resolved.
If issue persists:
Export with corrupted audio as QuickTime. Separate the audio from video track. Delete audio. Import the extracted .mov audio file. Share > File. Enjoy.

No Audio when I export using quicktime conversion

Hi,
This problem has just started. In my time line my movie places with both audio and video. When I try to export it using quicktime conversion I get a file with video but no audio. If I go to the audio settings button and click preview, I hear nothing. I have exported using the exact same settings many times before without problems.
If I export the file using quicktime movie, I get both audio and video.
This is driving me crazy, Can anyone help? Thanks!

I got no audio on the DVD when I exported from FCE using the Quicktime Movie setting. I finally determined it was because my audio was at 44.1k Hz. I upsampled to 48k and there was sound on the final DVD. This is not normally a problem when input comes from a camera, but if you are doing a DVD of a Keynote presentation and adding separate sound to it from a CD, this becomes a problem.
Certainly no more than a little annoying that there's nothing said during the FCE export that this audio won't be exported. It's just not there.

Exporting Keynote to Quicktime movie with audio

I am struggling to get this to work although I have done so previously. I have a fully functioning keynote with an embedded quicktime movie and an audio file. The Keynote works fine.
When I try to export it I just get the audio file!! I am opting for 'manual' even thought the Keynote is a looped production without the need for any manual input.
Any ideas? thanks

Exporting to Quicktime with sound seems to have been restored ok in Keynote 09 as I have just tested it on the trial download copy. Up until then I have been importing into Garage Band without sound and adding it there which is successful but I think the quality of picture is better with only one step i.e within Keynote itself.

Embeded videos in keynote don't play when exported as a quicktime movie

I have a keynote presentation with videos in it. I want to export it as a QuickTime movie but when I do the videos do not play. What do I need to do to resolve this?

Exactly the same issue for me. Went to Snow Leopard and now the videos won't play in Iphoto. Software update is up to date, tried to manually install Quicktime again but it won't let me as it's already on the HD. Tried to delete it and try again but it doesn't seem to be working. Some help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
T.
