Only part of IMovie HD movie will export into Quicktime

I'm trying to export a movie from IMovie HD into Quicktime, but the video will only export up to a certain frame, while the entire audio exports. Hard drive space isn't an issue. I tried saving it on an external hard drive with a ton of space and it did the same thing. It doesn't give me a message, it just doesn't include the video after a certain point.

Hi
a. Does it indicate low on free space ? NO THAT'S why I parrot it !
Only internal (booth/start-up) hard disk counts.
b. QuickTime is the heart of iMovie, iMovie HD, FinalCut Express and Pro.
If it doesn't work - non of above will
c. There should be ways to mighrate material to FinalCut. I only know howto
with the imported/captured material
• old iMovie - Movie project in a folder. In this a Media folder - Drag and drop
• iMovie HD - the folder is dressed like a movie project icon - but it's a folder
anyway. Ctrl-click on it and go down the menu to "Show content of package"
Now find Media folder

IMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime

iMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime. Some people have posted that this problem disappeared when they upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. However, I am running Mt.Lion and it still happens. If there is no fix for this bug, does anyone know a workaround that will produce the same ultimate result..namely, a Quicktime movie that is not too large to attach to emails. Apple, please fix this. Thank you.

Update after two Apple iApps specialists spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me: There are 3 "poison pills" (that we know of) that will cause the crash if any of the three is part of the movie: Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or a circle open/close transition. Otherwise, no crash. The specialist made a movie on his own computer, containing the poison pills, but he exported to Quicktime without a crash. There is at least one report in the threads of a problem like mine. Thus, some Gremlin is causing this, in some computers. The iApps specialist was curioius to know whether a lot of people have this problem, or only a few. (If a lot, then it is worth submitting to the engineers to fix.) He said if you have this problem, call Apple. I asked if such people should post a "Me too!" on this thread. He said no, better to call Apple and report it. So that's the story. I can live without those poison pills in my export-to-quicktime movies. I am just a consumer, not a pro, and I can live with it. But it would be nice if Apple could fix this.

Should I export via Export Movie, or Export using Quicktime?

Hello,
I am making a "yearly video" of our family video clips. The movie is 45 minutes long. I have an HD camcorder though I have uploaded all the video as "large" as suggested since I dont have a Bluray burner anyway. I know how to export as a DVD file, but if I just want to create my movie to play on my computer, what is the optimal way to do it where I loose the least quality? This way I can save the file for later, should a better "burning" situation come about in a year or two. Should I export movie as "HD" or use "Export using quicktime" or some other option?
Thank you!!

Sorry.
By all DVDs until the master, I mean any preview copies that are used to preview content only, not video quality.
I export a reference movie, which means a movie file that refers to all render and media files on my drives, instead of creating a new self-contained quicktime movie. By using a reference movie, I save drive space (they're much smaller). But reference movies will only work on a machine that contains all the media and render files.
I've used reference movies in Sorenson Squeeze before, so they may work in BitVice as well. But I much prefer Compressor to any other option.

Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Editing Time base: 23.98
Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
Depth: 16bit
Clip format:
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Vid Rate: 23.98
Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Rate 48 KHz
Audio Format: 16bit

I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

Problem with .mov files exported from Quicktime working with iMovie

Since iMovie won't input .mpg files, it has been my practice to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .mpg to a .mov file and then import the .mov file into iMovie. With Quicktime 10 (no longer a Pro version), when I follow this procedure I get a .mov file that iMovie refuses to import. Why is this?

I am having the same issue. Just purchased QT7 Pro. Converted .3GP format to .mov and cannot open in iMovie. Have you found an answer?

Only part of my character style will apply when used in a numbering format.

I have created a NOTE: format. I used a numbering format to create it, as follows in the Bullets and Number section of the paragraph styles dialog box:
List Type: Numbers
Format: None
Number: NOTE:^t
Character Style: My Special Character Style
And here is my character style:
Underline: ON
Weight: 15 pt
Offset: -4
Color: Black
Tint: 20%
And here is the problem:
The underline does not show up when the character style is used from within the Bullets and Numbering section of the paragraph style. I can apply the character style to plain old text and t will work fine. But that portion of the character style will not show up when it is referenced from the Bullets and Numbering screen. Interestingly enough, strikethrough has the same problem. The rest of the attributes of my character style (font, color, etc) work fine. But the underline won't apply.
Any ideas as to why?

I believe this is a known bug; underlines don't work in this situation, though other text attributes, like bold, color, italic, do.
Search this forum and Google for terms like underline indesign autonumbered paragraph style to see some past discussions on this topic.

I have files from a windows quicktime player. i am trying to get them to play on my mac quicktime and it doesn't work. i have used flip player to try and export my files to iMovie and it will export but will not play on iMovie. help!

help! cannot figure this out at all

What are the file types? Are you just trying to view these video files? To watch video files that Quicktime doesn't support use VLC media player.

Using imovie 10.0 - No export for Quicktime and no export setting options

Hi Everyone
I am working with imovie 10.0 on Mavericks 10.9.2 and I am trying to export my video for better qualities then just using the share button and choosing file.
It seems the export to quick time is not there anymore and I want to make sure I get the best quality possible.
Any help with this?
Thank you,
Ash

I'm in the middle of importing family home videos from VHS. It used to be awesome and I could export the exact file I was hoping to upload to a shared media server. Now my 480X640 Videos have black bars on the sides and I can change the proportions of my project! A 26min video at standard def resolution with 480X640 source video is a whopping 2.6Gigs!! These won't even stream from my beefy synology media server on a 30MBS UPLOAD because the buffering keeps pausing these massive files. I have 2 hour movies in 1080p that buffer faster than this 26 min SD VHS video!
C'mon Apple, simplify but lets us dive in and find our original workflow so we can continue to use your products how we have been.
Sincerley, loyal mac fan.. optimistic some export & project features start to magically appear in updates. :-(

My ripped .mp4 movies will play in QuickTime and AppleTV 3; but not in iTunes? Anyone else have this problem?

I used Make MKV and Handbrake to rip 2 purchased DVDs to mp4. Both will play on my AppleTV 3 and in QuickTime. But in iTunes I can only can see a still-frame, and use the slider to fast-forward and rewind them. They won't play.
If iTunes incorporates QuickTime into playback, I don't understand, as I can play them in QuickTime. I really didn't understand after I watched one of them on my AppleTV 3.
Anyone else having this problem?

What's your output settings in Handbrake?
MP4 is a container format that can be encoded with H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, Divx, etc. iTunes support common MP4 files but not work with all the codecs.
Try some other settings and rerip it. H.264 is mostly recommended.

Exporting into IMovie

Help - I followed the last discussion about moving sideshows from Iphoto into my Quick Time Player so I could be able to view my sideshows back-to-back. After exporting into QuickTime, I then followed the instructions to drag the sideshows into IMovie. I opened IMovie and clicked the setup button and then it directed me to name my project which I did. The instructions in IMovie said to drag my items to the bar that said drag photos or movies here. I did it repeatedly and it does not work. They just pop back to Quick Time Player. What is my next step to get my sideshows into IMovie?

The Finder is the file browser on your Mac. So find the file of this movie and drag it to the iMovie icon, or use the Import command under the file menu.
Some links that might help:

Audio Sync Issue When Exporting to Quicktime

Currently using Premiere Pro CS3 3.2 and Quicktime 7.5.5
When I export to a quicktime .mov, my audio is a few frames out of sync. I've tried downgrading to older versions of quicktime with no success. Everything is completely in sync inside Premiere. If I import my rendered out-of-sync .mov back into Premiere, it magically syncs up fine again. It's the weirdest thing.
Help!

Scott:
There is a workaround.
I never really found a solid cause/solution, but if you're noticing that you have a couple of white frames at the end of your Quicktime exports, then you're probably suffering the same problem I have. Tech people I have checked with have suggested that the problem may be related to the use of .mp3 sound files (as opposed to .wav) in the Premiere project, but after removing them and replacing them with .wav's the problem persisted.
I am not technical enough to figure out exactly what's causing the problem, but I think it must have something to do with the Adobe Media Encoder (at least how it works on my computer). From what I've read on the subject, the Media Encoder is Premiere's Achilles's Heel.
Changing versions of Quicktime did nothing. Others trying to solve this problem have tried exporting their files with every conceivable variation of options and settings in the Adobe Media Encoder with no positive result.
I'm not the only one with this issue, but searches of the Internet show it to be relatively rare, so it's probably some weird glitch somewhere deep in my system. It's not widely-reported enough for anyone to care about addressing this bug. Of the few people that I've found suffering from this anomaly, none have found a fix.
But the good news is that I have found a workaround that accomplishes getting a quicktime file out properly that does work for me. I avoid the Adobe Media Encoder completely.
Step 1: Go to File > Export > Movie, and under Settings > General choose QuickTime, under Video > Compressor choose H.264, then Uncompressed Audio. I have not experimented with other settings, but believe that most of them will do just fine.
If you examine the quicktime file you've just exported, you'll see it works just swell; i.e. no white frames at the end of the movie and the sound syncs up perfectly. Okay, sounds great---but there's no way to limit the data rate using this method, which means we're stuck with a ridiculously large file.
The solution is to load the Quicktime file that you've just exported into Quicktime Pro, and now export it using data rate compression / sound compression options to suit your tastes. Bingo!
The other workaround that I have heard from some is to export your movie (again, avoiding the Adobe Media Encoder, instead using File > Export > Movie) as an Uncompressed AVI, and then compress with QT pro as before. This method didn't work for me, something about not having the proper codec on my system to read the AVI file that was exported, which makes absolutely zero sense but I couldn't find the right codec anywhere, even after identifying it with some super-duper codec identification utility. Go figure!
So, you'll have to get QT Pro ($30 I think) to use this workaround, but it does work, and that's what counts. I have no idea if there's a QT Pro clone or similar program available out there. Compression/decompression and all that jazz is way beyond me and I'm just happy to be able to get my file finally out there in working condition.
The only other bit of information I might share with you is that I tried searching the Internet at great length to try and solve this issue, but on the rare occasion I did find someone suffering this problem they were as confounded and frustrated as I was, and no one had a real solution. I continued to search with different search terms and tripped over the clues to this solution when searching for "white frame problem" in relation to Premiere. I even believe that if you search the Abobe forums you may find some posts about it, so if you're inclined to learn more about it, I suggest concentrating your searches with terms that refer to the white frame problem/issue, instead of the terms I used for so long, such as "Premiere Audio Sync Quicktime" and the endless permutations thereof.
But I'll bet this workaround works for you. Let me know, and if you'd like me to try it on one of your exports on my computer I'd be happy to give it a go.
I have often wondered if upgrading to CS4 would solve this problem. Are you using CS3 like me? If I could be sure CS4 made this issue vanish I would jump on it, but there just isn't enough information out there to know for sure. I'm inclined to think not.
Please do let me know if this solution works for you, or if you dig up any new information.
Thanks!

Horizontal Gray Line appearing on my movie (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Hello, I have been looking for a solution to my issue but all I get is references to iMovie and movie impot/export via iMovie.`
http://gyazo.com/b58cb0236664e7aef5f9561ad8761ec4
This is the issue - on Star Trek Into Darkness - a horizontal gray line appears at the bottom and doesn't go away at what ever resolution I put it at.
http://gyazo.com/a27fb2cb9e40c9886b71677fd0443716
Alternatively, this is Star Trek and there is no gray line. I legitamtely purchased both of these movies, both Standard Definition (SD) but somehow, Into Darkness is giving me this gray line.
Solutions?
I've tried updating, restarting, tweaking preferences and so on.
Thanks,

Jon, I really don't. The only thoughts on audio desync I may have is VirtualDub
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tqDQNqDoGo
Or Adobe Premiere which is probably a more advanced video and audio editing software, but I've never used either one
Okay. Was concentrating more on finding a problem source that might be affecting both QT based apps (QT Player and iTunes) albeit with different problems. My basic assumption here is that the purchased file was correctly created and not corrupted during both download actions and doesn't really have either a video or audio problem. If true, then it is the players that are causing the playback problems and one point of commonality for both would be the QT structure routines shared by each. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain why each player manifests a different symptom for the same file. Was therefore asking if you were familiar with any known installation issues in this area. Also did not know if indiscriminant re-installation of the structure and/or affected apps would create a problem with the active media library under Windows if such action should become necessary. Did not find any reference to similar problems during a spot chack of movie file reviews and/or reported iTunes/QT problems under Windows OS but was hoping you might have come across something in your own experiences. Looks like this issue is a real mystery...

Can't export to quicktime v10 from FCP 5

I have recently loaded FCP 5 (Not Studio) onto a G5 iMac.
When I try and export to quicktime it only exports the first
18 seconds or so. My FCP 5 worked fine on my iMac G-4 with Quicktime 7.6 but it doesn't export on my G-5 using Quicktime 10.
It will export using quicktime conversion, but then I cannot get my chapter markers.
Any and all help appreciated.
Michael the Hunter

Thanks for the response.
On my G4 I am using 10.04.11 and it works just fine with my FCP 5. The G 5 that I am having trouble with FCP 5 is Snow Leopard. I figured that the Snow Leopard OS was probably the problem along with Quicktime 10. And you have confirmed that.
Looks like I will have to purchase a newer version of FCP for the G 5 and use my FCP 5 on my old G 4. Thank you apple.
Thanks for your input.

I export using quicktime and it loads and acts like its working then when it is finished there is no exported file. It's as if nothing happened!

I have used imovie in the past for editing gaming videos but due to a software issue i have had to make a return to imovie. The issue is when i try to export either just by exporting movie or exporting using quicktime, it acts like it is working then at the end it finishes and there is no sign it worked at all. no exported file in any folder and no error message. also there is an error when i try to optimize but i can do without that if need be. Thanks!

Keynote 06 - Exporting to Quicktime

Okay, so I know how to export keeping the audio intact.
My main problem is keeping all the timings I've created intact as I don't have ANYTHING happening "on click" in my presentation. It is all timed and I'm finding the delay between slides is too long (when one "ends" and the other "begins").
Thus my question:
Using Keynote 06 ... how do I export into Quicktime KEEPING all my timings intact ?

This version doesn't have the recording function --- http://grab.by/3QBb
Thus I cannot do that work around ... anyone got any assistance on offer ?
Should I just give up and save it as a presentation not try to export to Quicktime (make into a movie)

Only part of IMovie HD movie will export into Quicktime
