No sound in QuickTime exported videos

Not sure if this should be posted in iTunes, but being as I used Quicktime to export as .mp4 and .m4v, it seems pertinent to post here.
So I have a movie that is .mpg. I opened it in QuickTime and exported it as .m4v and then opened it in iTunes. There is no sound from the .m4v when played in iTunes, and no sound when played in QuickTime.
I tried exporting as .mp4 and the same problem occurs.
The original has sound in Quicktime and iTunes, but is about 93 MB (so I don't want to add it to an iPod anytime soon at that size).
Can anyone help?

Since your files are MPEG-2 format you'll need the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple) and MPEG Streamclip (free).
Convert your files to DV Stream. This will help preserve quality.
Open the new .dv file with QuickTime Pro and export. Version 7.0.3 has a new "iPod" preset to use but you can use your own custom settings if you wish.

I don't own an iPod so I doubt I'll ever use the feature. It appears that there are many supported file extensions that can be used for videos on an iPod.

Quicktime exported "Video format not supported by the iPod". Why?

Any help appreciated.
-I just downloaded new version of quick time 7.6.4, alongside iTunes 9.00, paid for Quick time Pro, entered the key code successfully and the Pro-only options of Quick Time become available.
-I exported my quicktime video files "movie to iPod". (File type m4v).
-Added file to iTunes library.
-When I sync my ipod (160GB "classic"), i get an error saying the "video format is not supported by the iPod". (I can watch downloads from the Itunes store without a problem.) It happens several times.
Any suggestions?

MagnusX,
I feel your angst on the Apple Rep poor communication skills, we've been there too, so as end users, we try to help other like yourself who comes up against a brick wall.
Your iPod classic firmware 2.0.4 support the following video format
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Most likely the resolution or bitrate doesn't fall into the supported Video spec.
If you are using a Mac, I suggest you download a free video converter, called handbrake
You can also Google for other version of the video convertor if you are using Windows.

Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

hello,
i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost, than exported sound separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
thank you very much,
Poly

It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export. Can you upload them?

Export Video but no option for sound

I would be grateful if anyone could offer any suggestions on how to fix an audio issue with exporting video from Photoshop.
I am choosing the quicktime format however the option for sound is alwas greyed out. from the animation panel I have the audio enabled and I can hear it when I play back from within Photoshop.
I am using Photoshop CS4 extended on PC Windows 7
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I understand the following -
For audio I need to choose Quicktime format
Photoshop is primarily image editing software (with video capabilities)

Here is a past post, hope this helps.

JP,
I do not have my CS5 Extended handy, so will go from the Premiere Pro (Adobe's video editor) side of the street. Bear with me on this, as PS-Extended might do things a bit differently.
When one is Exporting an AV file, there are two things that must be set:
Exporting both Audio & Video (in PrPro, these are done via checkboxes in the Export>General dialog screen)
Then, one must set Multiplexing * on the Export>Multiplexing dialog screen, to anything but "None." The choice is usually "DVD."
It's the Multiplexing Tab, that many miss. If set to None, then there will be two separate Export files - one for the Video stream, and one for the Audio stream.
Hope that gets you close, and sorry that I cannot open things up, and give you the exact screens and tabs in PS-Extended.
Hunt
* Multiplexing is the combining of both the Audio & Video streams into a single, discrete file. Multiplexing is usually OFF by default, though in PrPro, it's a "sticky," in that it retains the last setting, so if the user wishes to make a change, they must do so manually, and that setting will then stick, until changed again. The Export of separate files for Audio & Video is most often used, when one is doing the Export to go to a DVD, or BD authoring program, like Adobe Encore. It works best with elemental streams, rather than muxed files, and especially with MPEG Audio.

Quicktime fails to export video

Hi, I have quicktime pro and was trying to export some videos for my iPhone. I'm having trouble with certain movies and i'm not sure why. They are all in the same format (H.264), but some of the videos won't export video, just the audio portion. When i try to play the exported video it just shows up as a black screen with the audio playing. anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

i have the same problem!
it's frustrating the heck out of me
i think it started after the last update of iTunes & Quicktime
i can't export my videos to .m4v anymore to get them to play on ipod
i guess the encoder is broken
the option in - iTunes/advanced/make iphone compatible file - won't work - it just gives the same white video and the sound is fine.
streamclip won't work - it just fails using that encoder
i really really want to fix this!
it used to work fine
i've even tried deleting quicktime and its folder of encoders in /Library/
and then reinstalling but that hasn't helped!

No sound when exporting videos to iPod

It blows! I have bought the new iPod with video. When I export videos to iPod format in quicktime Pro, after eternal times of waiting for small videos, it results that it doesn't export them with audio. Any ideas? Any solution to this problem? How to make it faster? I cant imagine how much it will take if I convert a movie or something... Any other free software for this?
Thank you very much.

Are you attempting to convert mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 in QT? QT does not export the sound from those formats. QT Mpeg Limitations
If it is mpeg-1 you can use this freeware Windows app to convert to uncompressed avi. QT will read that format and will export both sound and video from it. VirtualDub
Open the mpeg-1 in VDub and then use Save as Avi in the File menu to save the new file.
As far as speed goes, you could try using mpeg-4 instead of H264 compression. H264 does nice work but is just plain slow.

No Sound with QuickTime 7.0.4 video streams on Intel

I just ran the latest QuickTime software update (7.0.4 Pro) and now I get no sound when viewing streaming video. This only happens on my MacBook Pro. None of the PowerPC-based Macs that I've tried experience this issue. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Is there a way I can go back to 7.0.3?
Since updating to QuickTime 7.0.4, Real Player 10.0.0 has also lost its sound with streaming videos. I've also tried VLC (0.8.4 & the latest Intel build) but it isn't working properly on the MacBook yet.
Again, the video works fine, just no sound & this only effects streaming video.

Video track/layer missing on QUICKTIME export - not missing if I use H.264 export?!

Having a strange issue with Premier Pro CS5.04. I'm exporting a video - 2 layers of MP4 video and one TITLE layer over the top. The top video layer is a cropped and blurred section of the same file as the clip below, to obscure some text on the video. When I export as an H.264 mp4 file it all exports fine - all layers intact and the blurring looks fine.
However, when i change to a QUICKTIME Pro Res 720 codec, the export does not include the blurred video layer - the settings on the timeline are identical, no opacity changes etc, and if I move the clips around to different video tracks the same issue occurs. Any idea why it would ignore the top video clip in a quicktime export?! Seems bizarre.
I'd love to include a screen grab but the uploader isn't working on this window. Useful.

I've spent the last week searching the internet, reading articles, posting on forums. Found several people with the same issue, but no answers.
The code is fine. I've tried code from several other articles/posts... they are all the same. Standard <object><embed> method.
Only thing I can think of is that the QT file is NOT being properly exported with Fast Start encoded.
I was using QT Alternative, which MAY be part of the problem... But real QT has a major bug in the installer that Apple appears to be ignoring for a long time now (...non-admin accounts get an error when trying to run QT, as the registry keys are not properly set as far as permissions).... which is preceisely why I went to QT Alternative. I tried installing QT (real) again today, but got the same error with QT (...can't find ActiveX files... which is what appears as a result of the installer bug).
What I'm trying now is I (reluctantly) switched my account to an Admin account (...QT now actually works, rather than getting an error on startup), and I'll try exporting the QT renders again, and see if there's a difference.
But, ya, there appears to be a lot of people out there who can't get the Fast Start working lately.
I'm open to any alternatives... as long as they are not complicated, and as long as they work. Just want embedded files on my site that Fast Start (or equivelant), and only start downloading when you click play (...otherwise, I'll have 10 clips competing to download while my HTML page still tried to finish downloading it's own content).

Issue with Exporting video as Quicktime, Self Contained

Hi, I am a new Final Cut Pro user, and a new Mac user really. I am taking a film editing class and we are required to capture and edit HDV footage into essentially a 2-3 minute edited video. So I completed the capture and editing, and my finished product came to about 2:15. My professor is requiring us to turn in the assignment on a flash drive. Problem is, my exported video lags/skips/pauses throughout the entire thing, especially when played on a flash drive. Also, I noticed the file size is abnormally large for a 2 minute video, clocking it at around 2.3 gig. I also noticed that it exports a bunch of source files as well, and the exported video won't play without them. However, I am 100% positive that I exported "as a self contained video." So shouldn't that mean the video should be able to play on its own, no strings attached so to speak?
Something is just fishy about my video when I export it. All I want is a simple quicktime that should play without lag, and play on its own, but instead I get a huge video with all the source files, despite the fact that I checked the "self contained" box. Is there anything that stands out that I might be doing wrong? A particular sequence setting I should change? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi -
The reason that your video is playing back poorly is that a USB flash drive does not have the speed necessary to support playing back your movie. I am confident that the flash drive is just a way of delivering the file to your instructor, and that once delivered, they will transfer the mov file from the flash drive to a regular disk drive for playback.
You can test this yourself right now by dragging the mov file from your USB flash drive to your hard drive and playing it from there.
If it does not play correctly after having done that, post back.
In regards to the having other source files on the drive, are you confident they were created when you exported your finished movie to it?
What exact method did you use to export your movie - it should have been: remove all in and out points from the timeline, click on the sequence icon for the sequence you wish to export, go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie and when the dialog box opens, make sure Make Movie Self Contained is checked, as well as Current Settings and Audio and Video, unless otherwise specified by your instructor.
If it were me, I would export the mov to my hard drive, the copy that export to the USB flash drive, but it is up to you.
The size of the resultant file is depends on the codec and frame size you used for the edit.
Hope this helps.

No sound when I export my movies with QuickTime for windows.

Using QuickTime Pro for windows and getting no sound on my exported movies. Won't even give me the option of adjusting the sound on options then movie settings. Any ideas? Thanks...

QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
MPEG Streamclip (free) can.

Final Cut + Lion + Quicktime Export = no video?

Ever since upgrading to Lion I cannot export video from quicktime. No matter what settings I use, it only produces an audio file.
Oddly this only happens with movies exported from final cut. After effects renders using the same prores codecs export normally as well as do generic qt files.
It seems that this is Isolated to Final cut.
I can still produce a small enough file for online client review using quicktime conversion or compressor in the FCP export process, but the render times are exponentially longer. Rendering from FCP and then reformatting via Quicktime export was a Crucial part of my workflow.
I've came across a few posts from people having the same issue, but have not been able to find any resolutions. I had hoped this would be resolved with apple's latest release (10.7.2) but no luck.
Any advice or workaround solutions would be welcome.

How to export video to quicktime and keep it looking good?

Hi,
I am just wondering, what is the best codec and what are the best export settings to use to take DVCpro50 footage to something that looks good for web/browser viewing? is it recommended to use the animation codec at 100%?, and then via quicktime export to something like mp4?
When I try to export from FCP to mp4 (h.264), I get "codec error".. Which always makes me just export to dv ntsc, and then from quicktime I convert to mp4.. However, when going to DV NTSC, the picture immediately becomes blurry and fuzzy..
Would love to know how is the best way to do this.
-p

Not sure why you are getting a codec error...
Try this method first...
File - Export - Quicktime Conversion... then when the window comes up change the default (or Recent Settings) to BROADBAND HIGH... then, click OPTIONS and change the size to something you want... if you choose 480x270 it will be widescreen 480x320 will be 4:3.
This will give you great clarity at about 3megs a minute.
Good luck,
CaptM

Sound does not match video - H264, animation etc?

Hello,
I am having a little trouble with Quicktime. I am exporting a music video (from After Effects CS3) with H264 compression (at a variety of settings, I also have an archival copy with animation compression) and the exported video, when played back, plays faster than the sound, or the sound plays slower than the video.
The sound source file is 32 bit, 41,000 kHz, and I set the output for the .mov to be 16-bit, and 41,000 kHz.
I have tried a lot of different settings. I have a very powerful workstation, so I don't think that is the problem.
The most telling thing seems to me to be that when I play the exported .mov in After Effects, the sound plays back at the right speed.
I want to show the H264 version on the internet, and because it is a music video the sound sync is vital.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks very much,
Simon

Sorry I had that the wrong way round - the video plays back slower than the sound - or the sound plays back faster than the video.

IDVD burn has no sound in iMovie timeline video only

I used iMovie and iDVD to create a DVD. The DVD has an intro movie (that plays when the DVD is inserted), menus with motion and sound, a main feature with chapters, and a "bonus" short movie clip.
The intro movie, the bonus movie, and the menu movie all were dropped onto iDVD from individual .mov files. They all work fine in the disk image that I exported.
However, the main feature with chapters, which is an edited project that resides in iMovie's timeline, does not have any sound in the final exported disk image. Its sound in iMovie is contained in the 2nd audio-only track (the only one that is checked in iMovie) and it plays fine in the iDVD project.
Why is the sound missing in the exported DVD disk image, ONLY in the main feature when it works fine in the iDVD project?
It took 4+ hours to export the disk image... now it appears that time was wasted. I want to be sure that it exports correctly next time.
I have iDVD 6.0.1 and iMovie 6.0.1
Please help!

Welcome Ricky Brigante
Not exactly sure what the issue is here on why it failed to burn the audio as well but did you look thru the iDVD help menu first?
Here's the info I found and I hope it's helpful:
Preparing QuickTime movies to work with iDVD
If your video-editing application can export to QuickTime, you can create movies that you can add to your iDVD project. iDVD supports most video or image files supported by QuickTime.
QuickTime movies smaller than the standard DVD size of 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL) are scaled to fit the DVD window, which may decrease the image quality.
For best results, in the QuickTime export settings of your video-editing application, choose NTSC-DV with a frame rate of 29.97 or PAL-DV with a frame rate of 25. Choose No Compression for audio and set the sample rate to 48 kHz.
Not all QuickTime formats can be added to your iDVD project. For example, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files, QuickTime VR movies, and movies with sprite or Flash tracks cannot be added.
Note: If you drag a QuickTime movie file to an audio well in iDVD, iDVD uses the first audio track in the file and none of the video.

Export videos to YouTube but audio isn't there after exporting

I exported my video to YouTube via Quicktime but audio isn't there after I go to the YouTube link. I turned up my volume all the way but no sound comes out. I JUST upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 TODAY ON JUNE 23RD! Has anyone else experienced this AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8? With 10.6.7 I could export videos perfectly. AND AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8, it takes FOREVER for the video to export to YouTube. It takes hours!

OK so I tried a few more videos. The first had the problem but the several more I tried a few more and they worked fine. Then I went back to the first and it started working fine again. So the problem seems to have gone away.
