No image, just sound - also for Quick Time questions

Hey everybody!!
I am editing a movie on Final Cut Pro, and I use Quick Time Pro to capture the clips and source them to FCP. The type of recorder I am using is an HDV, and up to a couple of days ago, things ran smoothly.
Then I started having problems with my Mac, of a different kind, and I had a friend of mine RESTORE my system. After that, I can't work on my film anymore, cause the Quick Time files from Capture Scratch only play sound, and have a blank screen. Every time I try to open them a window box appears, telling me that Quick Time is missing some components, and cannot play the clips properly. I tried downloading most of these programms, like Divx and On2, but the clips still can't play. I also tried erasing and re-installing Quick Time, but this doesn't seem to work either.
I must have edited and delivered this video by tommorow, so what do I do??
Please advise.
Thanks.
Stef.

First, you should NOT be capturing your clips via QT Player - use FCP itself to capture. Otherwise you have no logging information. This is bound to create problems for you, and today's issue could be a byproduct of this workflow.
Second, once your system was restored and updated, the system and FCP software versions are almost certainly different. Different versions of software produce different results, and one possible outcome is that you cannot view clips, as the codecs have changed. So - what version of OSX and FCP were you using before the restore, and what versions are you using now?

Try re-installing FCP (or specifically the HDV, AppleIntermediate, and/or DVCPRO HD components depending on "Easy Set-Up" option used for capture).

  • Video exports without image, just sound

    I'm using photoshop CS6 extended, and i'm trying to put together a 'slideshow' with images in timeline fading in to eachother. I also added an audio clip, an mp3. For some reason, after exporting the video, the mp4 i created has NO images, just the sound. I've tried exporting a quicktime and the same thing happened (no images, just sound)
    Please help!

    It happens with every video format. I already tried mplayer and it doesn't work too. The problems began with the catalyst 9.5 update (I'm not really sure about that). It worked fine with catalyst 9.4 but know it doesn't. It might be some other problem not related to the card driver but I think it began with it.

    None. Just run QuickTime. It is part of your Lion system. It is in your Application folder.

    my operating system is mountain lion on a mac book pro mid 2010,Im after a codec/component for quick time player!ive tried the divx download & it is no longer supported for mac!can anyone pls direct me in the right direction?thank you.

    Hmm, yes. Didn't notice that. Looks like it's still in development. I haven't time right now to check further, but will do later on and report back.
    Camtasia 2 for Mac is the video editor I use, but it's payware I'm afraid. You can download a free, full 30-day trial to check it out though, from here, if you want:

    The QT X v10.1 app installs in your "Applications folder and QT 7 v7.6.6 (whether keyed for "Pro" use or not) is installed in the "Applications/Utilities" folder. It is recommended you keep them in these locations so they will continue to update correctly/automatically.

  • Codecs for Quick Time

    Hi All,
    1) Is there a software that can tell you for a certain file what codecs are missing?
    2) Is there somewhere where I can find a list of the latest codecs needed for Quick Time (Latest QT with Mavricks)
    thx in advance

    They're most likely either part of Perian or VLC, or simply don't exist for Mac OS X.

  • HT5016 I CHANGED COMPUTERS AND WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK LICENCE CODE FOR QUICK TIME 7 PRO PLEASE!

    FOR QUICK TIME PRO THAT I HAD PURCHASED BEFORE. HOW PLEASE?

    Problem 1, multiple iTunes accounts.
    Problem 2, no access to the email associated with those accounts.
    Creating a new iTunes account simply because your email address changed makes no logicla sense.  Instead, update your iTunes account with the new information.
    If you have no access to those email accounts, you can try contacting iTunes support to see if they can assist you.

  • Just Paid For Quick Time Pro...  For what?

    Current QTP version 7.6.4
    Just paid for the PRO?
    It will not open mpeg of any kind?!?
    Waiting for you to update is not an option.
    i get this ERROR.
    *_"Error -2048: Couldn't open the file SGDisk1.mpg because it is not a file that Quick Time understands."_*
    What can I do to get back to work?
    Please do not ask me to pay to be an ALFA TESTER.

    An MPEG-1 file wouldn't give you the "error (-2048) message.
    QuickTime Player can play MPEG-1 with audio. The Pro upgrade can't "parse" the muxed file format and will only export the video track.
    MPEG Streamclip is free. Try it.

  • Non-Acceptance of Registration Code for Quick Time Pro 7

    Electronically I purchased Qt Pro 7 after downloading the FREE Quick Time most current version 7.1.6. I've checked out "Everything" on my system, followed all instructions for upgrading on my system and STILL CANNOT get the registration code to work. I'm repeatedly told it's
    "invalid". Very frustrated and have legitimately purchased the registration code. What is wrong - what can I do to get this to work?

    Use copy/paste from the email to the registration fields.
    Name must also match (exactly).

  • Thanks for helping me look for an answer. HD Codec for Quick Time?

    Thanks everybody who sent me ideas on how to play a .mov Quick Time Movie Codec HDV 720p50, 1280x720. It's for playing on TV, as well as Mac and PC. Someone suggested H264, but I thought this is for the Internet, not for HD quality 1280x720?
    Could it be that the Mac and PC people who can't play it don't have a strong enough video card in their computer? I'm looking at various answers.
    I appreciate any help gratefully.
    PS: I didn't see Helpful above the window, only Yes question answered and No.

    if you can't play an HDV file on your computer, it most likely means you don't have the HDV codec on your computer.
    It's a free download - google it and you can find it. You will have to drop the codec into your Quicktime library - it's all explained in the download. I've installed it for several people and it solves that problem right away.

  • Slow load time for Quick Time in Mail

    Does anyone know why when you receive a video file (like WMV) in Mail that Quick Time takes so long to load it? It did not use to take so long before Snow Leopard. If you click on play before it is loaded, you get audio only. Are there any work arounds or something other than Quick Time that can be used?

    From Adobe Support:  17 secs response time is a normal time interval for the "Print Settings" dialogue.

  • Need serial number for Quick Time Pro

    I bough Quick Time Pro two years ago need to reload it can’t find serial number. Have reformatted, how can I get my serial number?

    Unless you kept a copy of the email from Apple with the key or have the old QuickTime preference files in a backup, you'll have to purchase a new key. Apple only keeps order information for 18 months now.
