No Picture with mov files

I'm trying to view mov files on Quicktime Pro. I can hear the sound, but no picture. Any suggestions?

Codecs codecs codecs. You need to have proper codecs to play certain types of video. What does ti say when you look at the movie inspector option for your video?

Help: Working with .MOV files in FCP and forced to RENDER FOR EVERY EDIT

I'm working with .MOV files from my digital camera in Final Cut Pro and every time I make a new edit, I have to render it in order to see it in the canvas.
How do I make it so that I don't have to render every edit in order to see it?
(I've worked with files straight from a DV camera, and editing went fine. I'm assuming it has to do with the .MOV files)

DV Cameras are not the same thing as a Digital camera. Digital cameras offer video on a limited basis and it's usually highly compressed in a non-editing format such as MPEG-2 or similar. NLEs are made to work with video cameras, not still cameras which is why you're having trouble.
That's not to say you can't edit video captured with a digital camera, but you need to know how to prep it for editing. Some digital cameras shoot at odd frame rates and they all use some form of compression that is not typically used in editing. This means that you'll likely need to convert your clips to an editable format first using Compressor.

Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
Error Message
"The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
Please HELP

Hi MartinSalteruk,
Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.

Premiere Pro CS6 issues with .MOV files

I am having problems with .MOV files from my Nikon 5100.
They play very choppy. Multicam REALLY has issues with the .MOV files as it will play ten frames and freeze. Usually crashing Premiere altogether.
Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with? I've updated my videocard firmware and Quicktime.

Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with?
The logical steps would probably be:
Get a better PC
Don't use QuiRcktime but rename the .MOV file to .MPG
Tune your system. Also for Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...

Problems with mov. files

I have a JVC Everio camcorder. I have been messing with it for weeks now with little luck. When you save files it is a moi. or mov. file.
The only program i want to watch the vidoes on is Quicktime. I am recording sports videos and want to use the scroll bar so i can look for errors in technique.
I have downloaded dozens of fixes and none of them work.
I can watch the clips in any viewer except quicktime. I have used power director, VLC Player, Windows Media Player, power cinema, and nero but none of them do what i want them to.
I can change the file name. I have changed the name to avi, mpeg, mpg, and everytime i try to open it in quicktime i get the message (quictime will not open it because it is not a file quicktime understands) well what does it understand? I bought quicktime pro because that was supposed to work well it doesnt.
Please help

I am also having problems playing .mov files. My problem is that I just bought a Canon camera that shoots 720p video and when I save it to my computer and try to open it in quicktime, it plays but the picture hangs up. I have a Dell monitor that plays HD videos that i've downloaded from the internet all the time. The sound is fine but the picture lags and nothing i've tried seems to work. I have quicktime 7.6 and I want to know what I can get to make my computer play 720p files.Can you help please?

How can I share a document with .mov files in it?

I have written an article using Pages and used .mov files. How can I send the article so that it included "playable" videos? When I try to share it publicly it turns the page into a PDF and the .mov become like pictures.

Do you know that the resource entitled Pages User Guide is also for you ?
Searching for the keyword export bring us to page #253 where we may read the description of the formats available to share documents.
PDF don't retain the movies attributes
RTF don't retain them
Plain Text don't retain them
The last format available is Microsoft Word and I didn't know this one's behavior.
So, I did what you were able to do by yourself, I inserted a .mov in a Pages document and exported it as a Word one.
When I opened it in Word, the movie was always a living movie but it's true only for MicroSoft Word. In clones, the movie is just a black rectangle.
It seems that you choose the wrong tool.

Windows 8.1 with .mov files crashing

I have spent 12 hours with the so called professionals at Microsoft trying to get my daughters laptop to open .mov files.
This is as I write an unresolved issue that a tier 2 technician is supposed to be responding to today 05/01/15.
Although unresolved it made me wonder if this problem is unique to windows 8.1.
The answer would seem to be NO.
I booted up my old desktop PC running windows 7 32 bit with media player 11.
Guess what. The files don't crash the explorer window or indeed media player, although they will not open either.
As these files have been on my desktop for maybe two years I have to ask is this due to some update posted by either Microsoft or Apple as part of a compatibility enhancement?
I cannot be certain, but I feel sure they used to open with no problem at all.
Apple or Microsoft?
I will keep you posted as to the outcome of my discussion with Microsoft.
In the meantime has anyone else had a similar issue and managed to resolve it?

I have tried lots of fixes including renaming files. The only thing that works for me is to remove the following windows updates:
KB2995388
KB2975719
Turn off auto updates before you start as you need to reboot afterwards.
I set auto update to the download but let me choose option otherwise these 2 re install themselves.
I'm hanging on for our free upgrade to Win 10 now....

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

Restoring picture and movie files after hard drive failure and repair

I need some help restoring photo/movie files from my external hard drives after my iBook was repaired following a storm. I have backups hidden all over my external hard drives. I have unburned burn folders that may have pictures on them. I was using iPhoto from iLife 05 and iLife 08, and Kodak Easy Share. I have searched on spotlight using ".jpg", "pics", and ".mov" and titles of various images, but I am still missing images that I am fairly sure I duplicated to external hard drives. Any ideas for searching?

Thanks, I just downloaded EasyFind. I ran an initial search and it looked very effective. I will have to manually check the search results to see if it is getting any files I haven't already been able to find.

Help with .mov files that QuickTime Player says it can't read

Help. I have .mov files (on an external hard drive) I can see that they are there, but every time I try to open any of them with QuickTime Player I get the error message "could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
Help....suggestions...ideas????

Same boat, hope someone has some ideas on this.

(need help) Replacing AVI files with MOV files in a edit.

I'm working on a large edit that uses low res AVI files for editing,
Though all the high res files are written as MOV's with exactly the same name (just being a different filetype)
Is there a way to automaticly re-link all those avi movies with those high res MOV files?
The edit is quite big, so it would save me a very tedious job

Close Premiere. Change the name of the folder the current AVI files are in. Reopen Premiere. When it asks you where the files are, point it to the new ones.
The only stumbling block may be the different extension. I'm not sure if Premiere will pass that by or trip over it.

Problem with .mov file type in premier elements 10 on windows 7

My canaon power shot elph movie uses .mov (apple file) which I sent to PE10. When I try to play it in PE10 only audio plays, there is no sink between audio and video. If I move the marker under the vidio the vidio will follow the mark playing. I am on window 7 pc. Any ideas? There is a audo vidil link in CLIP, but if is not hi-lited so I can activate it. I want to do some editing and then burn a DVD to play on my TV. Help!!!!

There is an epidemic of display issues targeting specifically Premiere Elements 10 users whose computer use a NVIDIA video card. For now, the answer is to roll back the video card driver version rather than to assure that you have the latest video card driver installed on your computer. Please check out the following thread in this regard and determine if any this applies to your situation.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5836037
Once we rule this factor out, we can move on to other troubleshooting schemes.
What John T. Smith has asked is do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with your Premiere Elements 10. If you do, the latest version is 7.7.4. You should be able to find confirming information on that in Help Menu/About QuickTime in the opened QuickTime. That is not a codec number. It is the version number (latest version) for the QuickTime program on which Premiere Elements is very dependent.
As for codec, in this case, the question being asked is what is the video compression in your file that has the .mov file extension. If you do not know and do not have access to a video properties reader (such as MediaInfo), perhaps we could get the needed information from the brand/model/settings information for the camera that was used to record the video.
Please review. We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

Playback artifacts with MOV files from GH3

I have successfully played and edited MOV files from GH3 on this computer, but I suddenly (End of August) started having rendering artifacts in preview, after rendering in the timeline monitor, and on export. I've tried several different MOV files with the same issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. When I first open quicktime after an installation, it plays the source files cleanly. But after I run Premiere Pro, I can't get clean playback in either PP or QT. I've disabled the Nvidia Drivers for the GeForve GTX770 video card and still get the artifacts.
Any ideas about what might be going on?

Thank you so much for your reply.
Yes, I have CUDA installed. I see the artifacts in the source monitor as well as the timeline monitor. I have tried exporting in several formats and the artifacts appear randomly in all outputs. I can get a clean export of the same files and projects from my laptop - HP Zbook.
Quicktime Player also displays the artifacts, but when I uninstall and reinstall Quicktime the display is clear until I try to edit again in Premiere. Then the artifacts start to appear randomly in Quicktime Player as well.
Windows 7Pro 64bit, Intel i7 3.4 Ghz processor, 16 GB Ram, Nividia GEForce GTX 770 video card.

Video freezing, audio continues with .mov files

I just tried taking video with a new Kodak M1033HD camera, which it creates .mov files. When I play the .mov video file on the camera is works fine. But when I try playing it on my computer (using Quicktime as well as Windows player (using Vista OS), the video freezes, stutters, stops and starts, but the audio plays right through perfectly. Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jay

This sounds similar to what I reported in, "Problem viewing video in QuickTime 7.5.5" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1864506&tstart=105
Sorry that I don't have a good answer yet.

XDCAM-EX problem with .MOV files on Premiere CS6

Hello!
I've been working in a video project on Premiere CS5 with video files .MOV from a JVC camera and from a Sony XDCAM EX. I've installed the Premiere CS6 TRIAL. The project has been converted: I get to watch and edit the .MOV files from the JVC Cam, BUT I can't load the media .MOV from XDCAM EX, It says the codec is missing or unavailable... I got the same problem with some .DV files working before on CS5...
I looked for the codec info and I found this one: MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS6.xml
It shouldn't be working?
Why if all the files were working with Premiere CS5, They are not with Premiere CS6, being this one the latest version of the software? Is it due to be a trial version of the software?
I would really appreciate your help on this issue!
Have a good day!
Zoila

Officially you need FCP installed to work with XDCAM EX Movs. Are you on a mac or PC?
However, this is an update for quicktime on macs that gives you the XDCAM EX codec:

Not sure if there's an equivalent for PCs.
