Problem with an exported Mov file

I used Quicktime pro to “export for web” a video file. The problem I’m having is that when I open the file It only plays a small portion of the video, about 5mins of a 30min video. The video length shows 30min and after the video stops the counter and progress bar continue to run for the remainder of the video. I really wouldn’t be worried if the file hadn’t also been lost from the camera during the process.
Any help on getting this video to play correctly would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

OK. I checked the specs on your camera and it seems to make H.264 (video) which should work just fine in QuickTime version 7.
Export for Web is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it "converts" your file to other destination formats (iPhone, Desktop machine and "cellular") along with writing the needed html page code. I've never had any issues when using the Export for Web feature.
When you open the .html file (the ReadMe.html) in a browser you must have an Internet connection (because some of the special javascript files are served from Apple servers).
Have you tried just double clicking on the Desktop.m4v found in the folder created by the Export to Web feature? Do they play as intended?

CS5.5 Extended - problem with importing audio .mov files

I would like to import an audio file to my PS5.5 Extended. It supports .mov files, so I tried to File->Place a mov file exported from Audition CS5.5. But Photoshop says: "Could not place the document xxx.mov because the movie file could not be opened."
The mov file doesn't open in Windows Media Player either and the message is that the codec is unknown. But it opens without problems in QuickTime, as audio.
I am not sure if this is Audition or Photoshop problem, but the format, or codec which is used should be common to both programs, as they are from the same CS5.5 suite. By the way, I have all settings set to default in Audition. No idea what codec it is using.
My purpose is to import sound, and because PS Ext does not support sound files as such, I found a workaround in the internet to import a mov file. But it does not work for me..

Problems with metadata in .mov files

Hi
I'm trying to set up an archiving system for video much like the one I use for photography. In doing this, I use metadata (File Info) reated and applied in Bridge to create searchable keywords for our archivist to use.
The problem is, I can't get bridge to create the metadata files. I can access the metadata templates function through the tools, File Info, or by control-clicking the image. But the window that opens is not editable, though it is savable. Blank but savable. I also cannot access other, previously created, templates. They are viewable, but greyed.
I don't think i had this issue a couple of weeks ago. Am i doing something wrong?
filmgrrrl

I'm not familiar with movies but tried a .mov file myself. It is not
possible to add metadata or keywords because it gives the message that it is
a read only file.
And it does make sense you can't add data to a read only file
I tried also a little project that I used for try with film function on my
powershot G9 and that was saved in i-Movie as Mv4. This file is capable of
adding metadata so you should search for a way to make the .mov readable
(don't know if it is possible at all), or if you make theme yourself try a
format earlier in the process. But as said, I know very little to none about
movies...
Could this be with the version of Bridge I'm using? It really doesn't seem to
want to give me access to change the metadata on .mov files. it's fine on
photo files of various formats.

Firestore FSC problems with m2t and .mov files

I am having a problem opening files from Firestore FSC. Both m2t and Qt .mov
files will not open for me in FCE,iMovie or Qt with Quicktime MPEG2 reader
installed. Anyone having this problem and is there a solution other than
buying Final Cut Pro?
Charles Dodd

I am able to capture m2t and Quicktime.mov files from my FSC to FCE, but in
real time which defeats one of the reasons I purchased my FSC. Also
StreamClip will open the the m2t files, but not .mov files. I can't open the
the m2t/.mov files in FCE from my desktop or from a folder. Sony Vegas Pro
will open m2t files from a folder or desktop etc. I am very new at this, but
this if what I have accomplished so far. Thanks

Problems with a QuickTime movie file. Error 2048 message

I am having problems with a QuickTime file.
The file is on a TDK 4GB pen drive.
I can access the file without problem directly from the pen drive.
I am using a Sony VAIO Laptop running Windows 7.
QuickTime version 7.71.80.42.
When I transfer the file to a folder or upload to send via e-mail on Hotmail and then try to open it I receive an Error 2048 message - "Couldn't open the file.......because it is not a file that QuickTime understands.
Any help would be appreciated.

You should be fine: a standard DVD can contain up to 120 minutes of video, but this includes menus etc.
iDVD is not concerned with file sizes, just length. It will automatically compress the iMovie file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2 - which is 4.7GB for 120 minutes!
I have once made a family DVD 115 minutes long, but after the family either protested or fell asleep, I have tried to keep them under 75 minutes!

CS3 - Import and Export Quality Problems with Canon S90 .mov files

Hi Folks,
I have spent several hours searching with no results in the forums, and I am a beginner with Premiere, so I apologize for any annoying questions I may post.
Here is the problem I am having. The very first step! Go figure.
I have videos taken with a Canon S90 point and and shoot camera, in .mov format, 640x480, 30 frames per second.
When I play these videos in Quick Time or Windows Media Player they look great. Very sharp and smooth video.
When I import these videos into Premiere Pro CS3 - and don't do anything to them besides play them in either the source window or or Program window, the quality is much lower. They are not sharp, and have an unusual texture, almost like there is a tiny bit of water on the lens distorting the view as it moves.
I imported the video under the DV-NTSC Standard 48kHZ preset. I have the most updated Quick Time.
I also attempted to improve the view settings to their maximum with no results. I also exported the video to see if it was just the viewing, but the exported video is even worse. Very low quality and not sharp.
Thanks for any suggestions on the correct settings to import these videos without loosing quality.

Well, I have read and understand the Codec aspect a bit. I have discovered that my
files are avc1 H.264 Codec. Doing more research it appears that CS3 Premiere Pro has some trouble editing H.264 files.
So from what I gather so far, it looks like my best bet would be to convert the file into another format that is easier to edit by Premiere.
Is that correct?
If so, I am still unsure what to convert it to.
What is the program that is best to use to convert with?
Thanks again for your help.

Audio stuttering problems with certain exported MP4 files

I'm currently running Captivate 6.1.0.319 on my old and decrepit Pentium 4 machine that has 4GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 SP1. I'm developing an online training course on RoboHelp 10 for Udemy, and they require all lecture files to be in MP4 format. Unfortunately, some of the MP4 files I generate from Captivate have audio stuttering starting a few seconds into the generated video and nothing I try fixes the problem.
All the videos are being recorded with video dimensions of 1360 x 978 pixels. I import the .cptc file I recorded into the .cptx file, and then I import an MP4 audio file into the .cptx file. When I finish editing the .cptx file, I publish it to an MP4 file using the highest video settings and the highest variable bitrate audio settings.
I have tried the following to try to fix the problem:
Turned off SWF compression.
Created a new .cptx file and copied the slide from the problem .cptx file into the new one, and published that new .cptx file.
Disabled all software operating in the foreground and the background.
Tried generating the MP4 file on my laptop; the laptop runs the same version of Captivate on Windows 8.
As I said, Captivate generates some MP4 files perfectly without any stuttering, and others have the stuttering problem. If this problem sounds familiar, it's because I wrote a couple of messages about this a few months ago and despite some good suggestions, I wasn't able to solve the problem. I've spent my time during the past few months trying to find another program that will convert SWF files to one of the formats Udemy supports -- MP4, MOV, or FLV -- without success. Captivate exports to SWF and HTML5 format files without any trouble at all. But MP4 generation is spotty and I need to get this resolved so I can get this project off my plate and start making money off it.
If you have any further questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks,
Eric Butow

Hi,
I am having the same issue and cannot figure out what is causing it, as it occurs randomly - but fairly frequently - when I publish to mp4. And it is not tied to the project - seems to be something happening during the publishing. The issue might occur one time when pubishing a project and if republished again it may or may not occur again. I would be very interested in finding exactly what is causing this and any step that are tested and proven for getting away from the problem.

Prroblems Exporting .MOV files from Flash CS5

I am having trouble exporting my animations created in Flash CS5 (or Macromedia flash 5, or CS3) to .MOV files. I'm having these issues on different platforms (mac and pc) and different operating systems (XP and win 7) - I only get error messages and out of memory errors, even on the fastest computer I have with 4gig of RAM working on a 2mg Flash file.
I just want to convert my Flash files to a format that can play on Youtube and standard DVD players. Also I've tried many converters (flash to video) - not all free (Moyea, Roxio, iWisoft, Winfx Video Converter, Amor, E.M. Magic, etc, etc) - nothing works. The main problems are either the sound is not synched, the playback is choppy, and the quality is awful.
I think my only hope of getting a good video is starting with a good .MOV file exported from Flash. I know the program is supposed to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSBC0687D4-42A6-445d-B5FF-8032C7D3A8FF.html#WS6 A15AAE2-C176-4161-BAB6-FB082F63B65Ba

Exporting the video at a slower FPS with all the settings maxed and then speeding it up later may not be the most practical and adding a few extra steps can increase the chances of error...I wasn't willing to maniuplate the frame rate, so I tried with the highest video settings and my file ended up being 10GB in size for a video with 1689 frames, and there were STILL artifacts.
There's also the option of exporting your sequence as individual frames and recombinging them using Quicktime Pro (I found that on another forum), and Quicktime Pro is a pretty cheap program ($20?). Just remember to hide your motion guides and activate your masks (right click on your masks in the timeline and select Show Masks), or they'll show up in your frames and you'll have to start again. Also, when inputting your individual frames, remember to select the correct frame speed to it matches the one that you're working with. From there, you have a complete video clip that you can input into any editing suite (heck, Windows Movie Maker is adequate if you're just putting it on YouTube).
Either way, Flash Professional doesn't appear to be capable of generating a .MOV that works outside of the box on its own, at least not without the addition of a 3rd party plugin. Given the proliferation of animation projects on TV that are animated using Flash, I was thinking that Flash SHOULD have a way to render a .MOV file properly (ie: without dropping frames and leaving behind artifacts because it's taking too long to read the frame), but then, it's best to use the right tools for the job. You can use most of the tools in Creative Suite/Cloud to generate the same layered image, but every single application has a specific purpose:
Photoshop can handle text layouts, vector imagery, and animation, but it's best at manipulation of raster images.
Illustrator can handle text layouts and some manipulation of raster images, but it's best at creating and editing vector images.
InDesign can do some manipulation of raster images (or at least it imports them) and creating/drawing of vector images, but it's best at text layouts for multi-page documents and arranging images.
Flash allows you to layout text, draw image vectors, and manipulate rasters, but its best for animation and interactive content (I draw my characters in Illustrator first then import then in Flash...Flash drawing tools just drive me buggy).
Your video editing suite (and probably Premiere...haven't used Premiere in a long time, so I can't say for sure) can handle some text inputs, does some animation, but it's best for taking existing video and audio clips (from whatever sources) and editing them non-linearly.
I'll need someone in the biz to confirm this, but I do suspect that for studio based Flash animation projects that end up on TV (eg: Teen Titans Go!, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), they wouldn't be generating the show entirely using Flash (laying down soundtrack and dialogue as well) and then exporting to .MOV. It's more likely that they'd be exporting individual clips without audio (either using the slow frame rate method or by exporting individual frames and importing to Quicktime) and using a non-linear video editor to edit the clips and lay down audio tracks accordingly.

Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

Hi,
I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
- Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
- Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
- Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
- Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
- 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
- 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
- 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
- Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
Thanks

Hi Rene
Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

Exporting .Mov files at 24fps for Final Cut Pro 5

I work at an animation production house and we're trying to export .mov files from QT 7.1.2 at 24fps so they won't have to be rendered in a FCP project which is a 720p project with a frame size of 1280x720, we're experimenting with two codecs. We're using Motion Jpeg A and Photo Jpeg, selecting 24fps but for some reason they import into FCP 5 at 10fps. It's as though QT isn't outputting accurate 24fps .mov files. When I export .mov files from FCP they import back into FCP without having to be rendered. What's the difference between the ones exported from QT vs. the .mov files exported from FCP. We're using the exact same settings and files....? The reason we need to use QT to do this is because it needs to be a somewhat automated process (lots of stills to work with) and our PA's are working on Windows with QT only.

You should post your inquiry at Final Cut Pro section for better support. Anyway, Final Cut Pro does not always recognize the frame rate correctly, depending on which application (and possibly which codec) you used to compress video. For example, Snapz Pro X and Adobe After Effects don't get along with Final Cut Pro in this respect. Furthermore, compressing video in H.264 will be a bad idea. So simply adjust the size of Canvas so that it won't cover the whole screen. In this way, you can even replay video on Canvas and even send it for final production.

Problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files

I am having problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files. When I open the file, it shows all white. I have exported some HD footage shot on my HVX 200. I am using FCP 5.0.4. I also have created some animated clips from Vue 6 Infinite and it does the same thing.
I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
does anyone have any suggestions on what to do, or what I need to download in order to have this work?
Thanks

Export from Final Cut using the Apple Intermediate codec to view in QuickTime.
You've probably exported using an HDV codec only used by Final Cut.

Problems with mp4 (h.264) files, colour desaturated.

Hey guys. I've been having problems with mp4 h.264 files (not quicktime h.264). When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image. For so long I thought there was problem with the export from Premiere Pro, today however when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal. I exported the file through premiere pro. I don't know what the problem is, maybe it's just the playback on windows media player and window classic media player.
Playback on quicktime
Playback on media player
Can someone tell me what's going on?

When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image... when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal...
On the contrary, with more than high probability playback in QuirkTime shows you wrong colours because of its crooked colour management.
How do you judge on colour matching between your source file and what you see in media players?
What is your spec and GPU in particular? Do you use any sort of colour management in its settings?

Exporting movie file from iPhoto

I have a Panasonic Lumix that takes both still photos and movies. The movies and still photos are transferred from the memory card to iPhoto. I would like to use some of the movie clips (.mov format) in an iMovie project. I transferred the movie files from iPhoto to an external hard drive by using the File > Export function. All appeared to go well. When opening the transferred file on the external hard drive, the file size is much smaller than one would expect and the cursor goes right from the beginning to the end as if it was a still photo. In the export function box, the "kind" options include original, current, JPEG, TIFF. I chose current. It does not give an option for file size. The movie file opens and works fine in iPhoto but not the same file transferred to the external hard drive. To make matters worse, I deleted many of the iPhoto movie files after transferring them to the external hard drive and so they are lost forever. Is iPhoto not designed to export movie files ? Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance

Is there any way to export an entire album of both movies and photos at once? I want to set the movies to export as original and the photos as JPEG, HIGH, with Metadata. Possible?
No. The export window will only take one set of criteria at a time.

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?
