Quick Time 7 Pro not displaying .mov files

I just purchased Quick Time Pro to make movies that were transferred from my video camera in a .mov format. Prior to purchasing and installing I had an older version of Quick Time and I was able to view the movies with no problem. Now the screen is simply black but the audio is still playing. I downloaded a file to a thumb drive to double check on my lap top with an older version of Quick TIme and was able to view with no problem. What am I doing wrong with the new install?
Thank for you help.

The files are in MPEG-4 format. And they do play perfectly in player. However the dimensions are wrong for my Ipod Nano 3rd gen. The edges are cut off. I am under the impression that if I export the file from QT7P i will be able to convert the file type to fit the screen of the Ipod nano.

Quick Time Pro and exporting movie files

With Quicktime Pro do you have to purchase Flip for Mac for people with Windows Media Players or Realtime players to be able to view it?
I've heard of something called AV files. Does Quicktime Pro export a file in some version that can be read by other players, or do I have to purchase some software?

People with Windows can get the free QT Player for windows and view your QT files that way. One version of Flip4mac will allow you to start with QT and output WMV files. Those would play in Windows Media Player. AVI files might or might not depending on the codec used inside the AVI container.
There is lots of QT media on the internet, and Windows users just download and install the QT player at no cost and then can watch downloaded or streaming QT media.

Quick Time Pro not working - Video to iPod

I have not been able to copy video to my new iPod using Quick Time Pro
In this case this is a MPEG-4 to the Quick Time Movie format( MOV )
I have followed the tutorial of exporting this MPEG to the iPod( 320X240 ) format.
The exported file plays well on iTunes but when I synchronize the iPod I get a message that the file format cannot be played on the iPod and a Help-Link back to the same tutorial
I even tried converting a MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, with the same results.
Help & advise appreciated !
Thanks,

Did you check Window - Movie properties before converting?
QuickTime requires seperate video and audio tracks in order to produce a file for the iPod with both video and audio.
If the MPEG-2 you are trying to convert is muxed it will only take the video part of the muxed track.

Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

Premiere Pro not accepting MOV files

I'm running Premiere Pro CC for the first time today since the most recent update and am finding that it won't let me import MOV files. When I try to drag them in PP tells me that file type is not supported. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it?

Good point.
Running PP CC 7.1 (looks like there's an update for 7.2 but CC says I'm up to date)
Running Windows 7
Trying to load H.264 MOV
The error says that file type is not supported
This is the first time this has happened
Attached is a photo of what file types PP says I can import.

Quick Time Pro Not Installing

I enter the registration key that I have with the name, and the only thing that comes open is QuickTime Player. The Quicktime Pro just isn't there. I see QT Pro in the registration window, but player is the only thing that opens. What gives?

To install QuickTime 7 Pro in Snow Leopard you have to install QuickTime 7 first, found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
That will install QT 7 into your Application/Utilities folder. Open QuickTime 7 and go to the drop-down menu QuickTime Player 7>Registration... Here you can enter your key for QuickTime Pro.
Unfortunately Apple won't let you set QT 7 Pro as the default player, it will revert back to QT X if you try. Which is ********. But you can get around this by installing this preference pane add-on which allows you to force the default application used to open any file type. You have to manually go through the list of movie file types and set them to QT 7, but it works and is a better alternative in my opinion than deleting QT X.

Quick Time Pro - The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file.

I upgraded to 7.4.5 and now I can't view any of my AVI files. I am getting the following error message.
The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file. Please help!

It is most likley a problem in the new Quick Time (QT). My Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 two Saturdays ago. I have been making movies in iMovie then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOVs but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and added time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVIs had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than MOV. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last week, I sure hope Apple is also aware.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

Export in Quick Time Pro gives Error -43: a file could not be found

Have been successfully exporting videos mades on my camera via Quick Time Pro for many months to convert for Apple TV. However in the last week the same routine process now causes an error on export. Error -43: a file could not be found.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing QT Pro and no difference, have also tried different export formats and they all give the same error.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

This is a old post from when I had recieved the Error-43 file could not be found. In my case I had a drive lettered F:\ F:\ when changing the drive to a single letter F:\ it resolved the problem, so something you might want to take a look at.

Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

PLEASE HELP!
i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
i'd appreciate any help.
cheers

The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

Quick Time Pro will not launch

10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
What could be the issue? HELP.
Bill N. in Sarasota, Florida

That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
... or:
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

Premiere pro will not import .mov files

Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt
