QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

  • CS4 won't save as a jpeg

    Hi!  I'm trying to make a 4" x 8" greeting card and I did all of the work and now it won't allow me to save as a jpeg!  I need to upload it to mpix if that helps at all.  Has anyone had any issue with this and how did you fix it?  Thanks!

    Depending on the format you started with, Jpeg is not always an option for saving.
    If you create a document from scratch, but select the wrong bit rate, or color profile you may only be able to save it as a gif or png or other format but not jpg.
    You could try opening it with Preview and then using Grab (in your utilities folder) to capture it as a jpg.
    I do this all the time with downloaded gifs that aren't able to edit or save as jpg.

  • Firefox won't save photos as jpegs, rather it saves as firefox docs

    When I right click a photo and choose "save as image as", Firefox saves the image as a Firefox document, not a jpeg as it used to.
    I can, however, save the photo as a jpeg if I add ".jpg" to the photo's file name prior to saving it, which becomes burdensome if saving many photos.
    Any ideas how to make Firefox save photos as jpeg files by default?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Exported jpegs unable to open on some TVs: need to pen in MS Paint and then save again!!! (Noooooo!!

    I export jpegs from InDesign to be displayed on flat screen TVs for a client. On some TV models they are unable to load the jpegs and the only work around is to open them in MS Paint (I am on a Mac so boo!) and save as a jpeg again.
    Can someone please advise what the problem is and how I can fix this, rather than having the client use MS Paint to fix?
    Many Thanks.

    My best guess is that you have exported your JPEGs in CMYK colour space and your TV does not understand it. Make sure you have chosen RGB as Colour Space in Export JPEG window.
    There´s some other options too that you could try to toggle (like Format Method and Simulate overprint which may cause troubles in some special target devices)

  • Safari 6.0.5 Mac won't "SAVE IMAGE AS" jpegs from web pages

    Hi. Trying to figure out what has changed here.
    In the past, when I've located a specific graphic on a web page — say, a .png or .jpg file through a Google image search in Safari — I could right click and choose "SAVE IMAGE AS" and download the image to my desktop.
    No more.
    Now Safari insists on appending ".webarchive" to the end of the file (for example, "image.jpg.webarchive" or "image.png.webarchive"), but won't let me download it. I tried to "SAVE IMAGE AS" a file called 27.png from a web page, for example, and got this error message:
    If I try to remove the ".webarchive" extension, I get this error message:
    I used to be able to simply right click an image, select "SAVE IMAGE AS" and save .jpg and .png files to my desktop. It still works that way in Firefox.
    I am not looking for workarounds or other ways to do this, as I have spent many years doing it this way and it has become habit; I am trying to find out how I can get the old Safari behavior back. Any ideas on why this behavior changed in Safari and how I can revert?

    @andyBall_uk
    Inexplicably, it is now working as it should. I don't get it, but I am not going to question it. I tried to figure it out for an hour, then read your reply, did the duck search you linked to and had no trouble "SAVING PICTURE AS" in .jpg form. It now works on the original images I was trying to download as well. I did not close or open Safari, nor did I restart my computer.
    I'm just going to go ahead and say that you fixed whatever was wrong. Nice work!

  • Safari won't save or export a pdf file which otherwise displays correctly.

    I can download a pdf item (form) and safari displays it correctly. however, if I try to save it or export it as a pdf, the resultant file is empty. Chrome works just fine. This is not unique to just one downloaded pdf file.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Photoshop CS2 won't save files in JPEG format

    I have Windows Vista and am using Photoshop CS2 Version 9.
    Until today everything was working fine, but there are two problems.
    1. Only today I have a limited amount of formats to save a .PSD file in:
    PSD, CIN, PDF, RAW, PNG, and TIFF.
    Whereas if I want to save a JPEG file per say as another format, I get the full list to choose from.
    2. If I choose a layer on an image, not all the filters show up that I can run it through. The 'Artistic, Brush Strokes, Pixelate, Sketch, and Stylize' are not clickable.
    Thank you.

    You slipped into 16 bit mode. Try going back to 8 bit.

  • Quicktime won't save or export

    In Leopard, I can no longer export or save any files in Quicktime pro. I get the "save" dialog as a flash on the screen, and it leaves me no option to save. Anyone have any ideas?

    Bad component?
    I've got 11 components in /Library/QuickTime/Components
    Try removing them all...then add back in one at a time until you find the one that has broken it.
    For me, so far, so go. Exports fine.
    Although I just noticed that my Turbo h.264 is having problems...time to re-install!

  • Motion 4 won't save or export

    I'm using motion 4 and for some reason I can work on a project fine but when I go to save my work or export anything nothing is happening, there's no drop down box at all or anything. I've seen some similar cases that people have had but I haven't seen a correct solution. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Please Help!

    Are you talking about Motion 4 or Motion 5?  This is the Motion 5 forum, and it works a bit different for saving and exporting than Motion 4.

  • 3rd Party Plug-ins won't save settings on re-open of music project

    When I'm using NI Battery 3 or Omnisphere Plug-ins they won't save the instrument setting upon re-opening my project. I'm not even using a custom setting on the instrument just a standard drum kit or omnisphere setting but when I save and close out of the program and re-open my project it sets omnisphere to the default and battery 3 or massive or whatever 3 party plugin i'm using back to the default setting...
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Have you tried NI support?

  • My images won't save as jpeg unless I go to Save As... what is happening to my images?

    My images look great when edited in photoshop and when I got to close and save it won't give me the option to save as a jpeg so I have to go to File Save As and then save to jpeg. But when I go to order them in Roes they look drab and awful but the thumbnail looks great. Am I saving it wrong somehow?

    Go to Image --> Mode and set image to 8 or 16 bit. If the image has 32 bit, it won't export through the save for web dialog.
    Let me know if this fixes the issue.

  • Keywords won't save to JPEG from LR3

    I have an interesting problem I can't resolve. I imported some JPEGs into LR3 and added keywords, title and description to the first one. I then used Sync Metadata to add the same keywords to the second file. All shows normally in LR. I then edited the keywords a bit, changed the title and description, and then after selecting both, I saved metadata to file using the right-click menu.
    The first image has all information saved to the file (I'm using both Prostockmaster and Irfanview to check), but nothing I do will make the metadata appear in the second image. I tried exporting to a new file name with no success, tried modifying the keywords again and saving to file, basically tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get the metadata into the file. If it was just one image, this wouldn't be a great problem, but it has happened to several that were handled similarly.
    The JPEGs came from an export from LR from original Canon raw files (no keywords at that stage) if that makes a difference.
    Any ideas?
    Steve

    Did you notice that you need to specify for each keyword, if it will be included on export? You do so in editing the keyword tag (right-click on a keyword, chosse edit..).
    The keywords that won't save - how are they specified regarding export?
    When you export from raw to jpeg, do you tick "minimize embedded metadata" in the export dialog ? When I do so, no keywords will be exported (neither EXIF info about lens and lighting etc.).
    So you might give it a try to first check on the keyword tag properties, then exporting without the minimizing metadata tick.
