Only some .MOV files import?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I have installed Quicktime to get the .MOV files to import - and it reads them, but only SOME of them. Which is weird. There are 24 .MOV files in total - and 9 of them are showing as audio files only.
Any ideas?
I have cleaned my temporary folders. Closed and re-opened the project. Started a new project. Moved the .MOV files to different locations. Uninstalled then reinstalled Quicktime and the same thing each time?
It's always the same files that show up as audio only. Really weird.
Can anyone advise please?
Best wishes,
Nathan

MOV is a wrapper... what is inside the wrapper of files that DO work and files that do NOT work?

Only certain .mov files imported from iphoto into imovie

I've been a MacBook owner for one week. When I first transferred over my photos into iPhoto, most of the .mov movie files were imported into iMovie. The problem is that the remaining movie files still in iPhoto were taken with the same digital camera and are .mov files, but I can't get them to import into iMovie!?!? There are about 5 movies still hanging out in iPhoto that I desperately want to get into iMovie...can anybody offer me any advice?
Thanks for your time.

MOV file are containers. If the compression formats contained in the the MOV are not "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not import them. Some digital cameras use different compression formats for different video clip modes. Your best approach at this point is to open the files that will not import to iMovie '08 in the QT Player and check their audio and video compression formats in the "Inspector" window. (And if you compare them with the files that did import, you may get an idea as to what the specific problem may be.) For instance, an MPEG4/AAC file would normally import (as long as the MOV container does not contain a "Tween" track) while an MPEG4/µ-Law 2:1 file will not because the µ-Law audio is not editable.

Problem importing some .MOV files into Premiere Elements 11

Hello,
I am trying to import film footage into Premiere Elements 11 and am coming across a rather confusing problem. All of the footage is in .mov format and all of it was taken on the same device on the same day with the same settings.
When I try to import the footage, some files import ok, others will not import at all and I get a message saying 'The importer reported a generic error'. It seems very odd to me that some .MOV files are OK and others are not.
This same footage can easily be imported into Premiere Elements 10 and into Windows Movie Maker - which makes me think the issue is with Premiere Elements 11.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks

What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from the camcorder to your computer?
Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer?

Premiere Pro CC freezes when processing some .mov files

I'm new to Premiere.
I just got some .mov files to be edited. I'm not sure how they were created.
When I try to do anything with them Premiere freezes and I have to force it closed and then manually kill Adobe QT32 Sever.exe in order to restart Premiere.
If I can get a clip to play, the video freezes but the audio plays.
The Media Pending screen shows in the thumbnails when mousing over the clips in the bin.
Just importing all the clips into a project will freeze Premiere.
Quicktime Player plays the files ok.
Loading the files into VideoPad results in a 4 second clip. That is, every file ends up being just the first 4 seconds when VideoPad imports it.
I do not have this problem with other .mov files from a Nikon D3100.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
The MOV files are client provided. He emailed me today that he recorded them on a consumer camera that created AVCHD files which he converted to MOV through a free utility he found on line. Sigh.
Since Quicktime Player plays the individual files he didn't know there was a problem until they were given to me to assemble into a finshed piece. As the clip numbers are not sequential, I'm guessing there was a committee who looked at all the clips and chose the ones they want in the final product and only those were given to me.
He said he could copy the original files onto a DVD (hopefully he has the entire contents of the chip so I will get all the files that were created as this knowledge base article indicates).
I tried Handbrake and what I get is a split second of live video which then freezes as the audio plays out. :-( I, too, suspect the fault is in the multiple video data types.
Thanks again for your input.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

Some .mov files wont work in quicktime player(10.2) and itunes 11.

Hi,i have quicktime player version 10.2 on my os x mountain lion (10.8.2).i am using macbook pro.the problem is i cant play some .mov files on quicktime and itunes 11.i can play this files with other media players such as vlc and quicktime player 7.My real intention was to create a playlist which includes some .mov formatted files on my itunes's sidebar.i have imported some files with the same format to the itunes without any problem but i cant these files.i even cant see these files in finder's preview.and also,i have tried to open this files in my wife's macbook pro,with os x 10.7.5,it opened and played well.
when i try to open these files in quicktime 10.2,the quicktime windows pop ups at the same time.it's trying to open and play files but cant.

Hi,when i use contextual menu's " get info " on .mov file,these things are written:
Dimensions:880x660
Codecs:Sorenson Video 3,MPEG Layer 3,PNG.
While I personally would like to know if the PNG track is being used for the display of a PNG image in the background or foreground or for Motion-PNG video, it probably makes no playback difference here... (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, it would be nice to get a look at the "Properties" window.) However, if you regularly export to "legacy" codecs like Sorenson or Motion-PNG, then you will need to re-enable your legacy audio and/or video codecs which are, by default, disabled for export use under Mountain Lion.
Basically, this looks like a legacy file (i.e., Sorenson/H.263 video with MP3 audio is a common FLV file codec combination). Since legacy codec support is, in general, being dropped from QT, I would normally recommend keeping both the Perian codec component package and the QT 7 player installed to handle older content which may or may not play in the QT X player any longer.
If these feedback is not enough,can u pls suggest how i can get more information about compression type and codec component of those files ?
If a file will not open in any media player, then the Finder's "Get Info" may provide the most basic information. If a file opens in a media player, then the best thing is to use that app's media information window (window may be called Inspector, Media Info, Clip Info, etc.) to provide additional information. One handy, independent, dedicated utility gor general use would be the free MediaInfo app which can be downloaded from the internet. Since most of my video content targets QT, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and TV use, I normally prefer opening files in QT 7 Pro and examining the content as depicted in both the "Inspector" and "Properties" windows as depicted below:
And also,is there any way to see which codec components i have in my quicktime player ?
Apple "Pro" Editing and third-party add-on codec compnents are normally stored for global use in the "~/Library/Quicktime" folder. Here is the configuration for my system:
System, add-on AppleProResDecoder, and older QT 7 MPEG-2 Playback Component are all stored for blobal use in the "~/System/Library/QuickTime" folder as seen here:
Codec components can also be installed in similar folders for "local user" use in each user account but this practice seems to have generally ceased with the release of Snow Leopard.
Suggest you check to see if your wife's third-party configuration includes the Perian codec component and your system does not since this is the codec which my sytsem defaults to for the playback of Sorenson/MP3 MOV content as seen here:
Good Luck!

I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

Hi
Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
• Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
• Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
• Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
• Then iPhoto should start up OK
• Now Quit iPhoto
• START iMovie
Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

Some movie files will suddenly start to lag or stutter?

Any idea why some movie files will suddenly start to lag or stutter?
You start playing a file and all is ok, but then about 2 minutes in it starts to play up.
If you pause it and then press play again it will be ok for about a minute then play up again.
I thought it was down to wireless or USB cable issue, but still happens when I copy the files to the hard drive. The files are ok if viewed on a PC.

Hi
Can you post more info for better understanding?
Obviously you have desktop PC and want to watch movies from....where? YouTube, saved on HDD, external HDD?
Are video files in HD or compressed video files?

Quicklook suddenly not working on some .mov files & most .m4v

Hi,
I'm kind of stuck here and could use some help.
Recently, I can no longer get a Quick Look view on some .mov files and many, if not all, .m4v files. They were working when I installed Mountain Lion and perhaps up until the first update. I'm not sure if this is related to the 10.8.2 update, but maybe.
What I'm noticing is that .mov files generated by Adobe After Effects, or even those perhaps converted from other formats usings MPEG Streamclip are no longer able to be Quick Looked. Also, .m4v files that were for certain converted by a 3rd party app are no longer viewable via QL. The files are not corrupt and open fine in Quicktime.
I followed the advice in this article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57355404-263/fixing-quick-look-issues-in-os -x/ with no real difference. I've also repaired permissions.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Am I missing a QL plugin?
Thanks,
Antonio

Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV. Why? Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you, , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand

FC 6 supports 29.97 & 25 IMX frame rates but a third party plug-in is required:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/FCP6_HD_and_Broadcast_Formats.pdf
This plug-in costs $100
http://www.nanocosmos.de/v4/en/products/quicktimeIMX.html
This software is cheaper at $30 and will let you test drive it for free

There may be a free option available but I'm not aware of it.

Automator only playing .mov files

I am working with Automator trying to create a simple video scheduling app. I created a workflow that ...
1. Gets a specific movie
2. Plays the movie full screen.
Everything is tied into iCal and seems to work well except that I can only play .mov files. mp4 files and .avi files will play in Quicktime Player but will not when called through this workscript/app.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if this is even the right forum so I apologize if it's not. Just trying to get an aswer about playing my .mov files.
I have the new Ipad and I have been recording videos. I'm looking to get these videos online on my website.
What is the best way to put this on my website so there is a video player and all.
Right now I just added the videos online but there are no play, pause and rewind options and its just 1 big page of video.
Your question is somewhat ambiguous. How you place the files on your web site will depend on how you are creating/managing the web site and how you plan for viewers to watch them. This can range from simply loading the files to an online server and accessing the content directly by its URL in a compatible browser app like Safari or dedicated players like QT 7, QT X, MPEG Streamclip, VLC, or devices like the iPad, iPhone, etc. to embedding/calling specialized "viwers/players" from within the programmed web page.
Not being a web site programmer myself, I normally just transfer the content to my system and either copy the files directly to my server or use iWeb to publish the files to my server for more generic web site viewing.

New to Premiere, .mov file import issues

I am new to Premiere Elements 10, My mom had it installed on her new computer. I am trying to edit videos but I am running into some problems with .mov files. I have searched the forums and not been able to find an answer that really helps so I am going to put all my info here and hope someone out there can help. I am not the most tech saavy person out there, so it may need to be "dumbed down" a bit for me to understand.
I have a Kodak Easy Share c160, and I am using an HP Envy17 running Win.7 Premium. My mom bought Photoshop Premiere Elements, back when she fist purchased her computer. I try and import my videos into PE10 and I get "generic problem" as a result I have checked out the "suppored file type" in the help section of premier and it says it supports .mov files. I have looked for updates on the adobe website and havent found any. What am I doing wrong?
. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ATR,
I most often encounter such, when a spammer has added a Reply. One "trick," that they use is to find old threads, and then add a Reply with their spam URL to it.
Often, most of us will never see that Reply, as a MOD will have seen it, and Deleted it, or, and more often, an Administrator will have closed a spammer's account, Deleting all of their spam posts - poof! gone before we know it.
Now, when there IS a post (even if it is almost immediately Deleted), the Jive software will show an (Updated) notice to the thread, but there will be nothing new showing.
I have also observed a few of these retain that (Updated) flag, even after I have viewed the thread. It is not until someone has actually posted to it, that the flag is permanently removed.
We do not see much spam in the PrE Forum, but in forums, such as The Lounge, it is very common for them to be hit by spammers. Also, long weekends (in the US) are prime spam times, as most Administrators are not in their office, other traffic is slower, and even MOD's might have taken the days off. The spammers assume that their endeavors will be up for at least three days, before being removed. However, John C., Adobe-Admin, usually works from home in Seattle, and zaps the spam very, very quickly.
Now, this is just speculation, since the post is gone, but as it is a common occurance, I think that I will be correct here.

Can you apply keywords and metadata for only some subfolders at import?

I thought I should make a separate thread for my second LR file import question.
It seems that LR authors assumed that most users would download single events or projects but that isn't the case with me. I'm just an amateur with a Canon 30D and a 4 gb CF card. I can get hundreds of raw files on that card and many times I won't download the contents of the card to my computer until I have taken pictures at several different events. So I may have a birthday and a campout and some landscapes in the download and the same keywords or metadata may not apply to all of them. LR allows me to group these different events by date in different subfolders but it looks like the metadata/keywords that you can add at download apply not to individual subfolders but to the entire download, is that right? If I've misunderstood or overlooked something how do you apply different keywords or metadata to different subfolders at download?

As you have discovered, Lightroom applies the same keywords, metadata and any develop settings to every photo during import. The workaround to break the import down into individual events by only selecting one shoot at a time in Import dialog thumbnail window. Deselect ALL of the thumbnails then use the keyboard modifiers such as Opton/Alt, Cmd/Ctrl or Shift to select the particular shoot that you want to import.
