Quick time movie with only sound

I got some HD footage that was given to me. This footage has been exported from Liquid run on a Intel based Mac using Windows.
When I try to play it I get that I am missing some components or something. When importing the footage into FCE i get the sound, but the picture shows only white. Obviously I need some kind of codec, but I am unsure which one. Can anybody help??

You need to have Final Cut Pro installed to work with that format. It's not available with FCE or with the QuickTime system codecs.

Using Quick Time movies with Logic

Hello all,
I am writing some music to a quick time movie and everything is working fine...then I scroll back and forth a little to fast....and then the movie starts to skip.
Problem is I can't get Logic to "Clear" itself, even if I restart or import a different movie, then come back to this movie, it still skips, any ideas...
Scott

Scott,
You're correct, the semi-colon is used to designate drop frame. I've seen way too many timecode burns that didn't match the actual frame rate, even when the footage was provided by supposedly professional editors. The only way to check it is to run it alongside Logic's timecode counter and see how well they jibe at different points in the movie, and based on your last post, you have the correct frame rate and burn.
As far as skipping, I don't think it has anything to do with how fast you scroll. Sounds to me like your hard drive is having trouble keeping up with the data stream. Is your movie located on its own drive, or is it on your system or audio drives? Best scenario is to have the movie streaming off of a dedicated drive.
There are two other scenarios almost guaranteed to cause skipping:
1. You have that movie open in QT while you're also trying to display it in Logic.
2. You have two or more songs open in Logic that reference the same movie. This is a sure-fire way to encounter skipping.

Quick Time movies have no sound.

Now with out any warning, my quick time movies have stop playing sound. Also my windows media play has stopped playing sound. Also certain internet things have stopped playing sound. My itunes still plays sound, but anything with video has no sound.
It happen i think after I installed any divx componet. I deleted it and restarted my comp, and still no sound. This is confusing, and I have no clue how to fix it?

Open the Audio MIDI Setup app (found in your Utilities folder).
Set the audio output format to 44100Hz and try the files again.
Many third party audio apps use (and change) these settings. You may have to do it again after using them.

Creating Quick Time Movie with Photos' Titles?

When exporting an album to a Quick Time MOV file is there any way to export the titles for photos too? If not, is there a way to create a "universal" slide show that plays on all OS's with titles?

EarthBased:
What is the ultimate destination of this slideshow? If it's for a DVD project post back as there are other steps to take to make sure the titles display on screen. Or you can use a 3rd party slideshow application that gives you more flexibility as to where the titles are placed. PhotoPresenter is one (very inexpensive) and has over 20 animated themes as well.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I'm getting artifacts and noise when I converted a dv file to a dv quick time movie . HELP

I am trying to create a dv quick time movie with a resolution of 576x 256, 16 bit from a avi file that is 720x480 millions of color . When I have done this in after effects and made a dv quick time movie it is very noisy (both image and background). I am stymied. Tried to use thenoise effects- and blurring effects to no satisfaction. ANyone out there have any suggestions???? I need immediate help

which codec are you suggesting
If Stan's right and that has been asked for by the client, use that. If not, I like both the Lagarith codec and the UT codec. Both are lossless and will preserve maximum quality.
are you talking about doing this in AF or Premiere Pro
Either way works.

Editing quick time movie clips with sound

We are editing together some quick time movie clips but we can't get the sound to come up.
Is there something we are doing wrong? Can you split the voice from the visual when you bring these clips into Final Cut?

A QuickTime movie can be made from any number of codecs. Which one are you working with?
If it's an MPEG video, chances are it will need to be demuxed. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this and other conversions.

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Publishing quick time movie from a fla with embeded video

I'm exporting my flash movie as a quick time movie (setting
the flash version in 5 on the publish settings), and everything is
ok except that the videos that are embeded just dissapear. Is there
a way to import .movs into a .fla and still being able to export to
whole thing into quick time?

My guess is that you import video to flash using codec that
is not supported in
QT player. Do the following. Open new document and set it
right away to FLASH 5,
than import the video and you will notice your options has
drastically change to
very minimal. Anyhow, import, do whatever you wish to it,
export as QT MOV file.
Should work on first go. If does not, please upload that
video you trying to use,
I will check it out for you.

Quick time movies in iPhoto

I have a Panasonic digital camera DMC FX9. When I download stills and short movies from a SD memory card they automatically go into iPhoto. That presents a couple of problems on the quick time movies (.mov). One I don't want them in iPhoto, two if I rename them in iPhoto the new name does not show up in a "smart folder" on my desktop that contains only .mov files.
How can I make SD card downloads separate .mov files from iPhoto pictures? Would like the .mov's to got to the default MOVIE sidebar folder.
If not possible, then how can I make the names in iPhoto show up on a folder of just quicktime movies (they keep the original file name despite the new name in iPhoto)?

Hi Edward,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

What is Quick Time movie anyways - continuing

Thank you David,
Thank you guys all for your support.
That explains it all. It also raises another question, what is the most universal codec which would maintain the quality? Apparently is is Motion Jpeg. But how can I convert my HDV video to QT compressed with Motion Jpeg? I had tried to find settings in Compressor, but I couldn't find any Motion Jpeg settings..I have only find Photo Jpeg??
But let's say, that I will take that HDV video from my HDV 1080 i 60 timeline and
export it USING QUICK TIME CONVERSION:
Format QUICK TIME MOVIE and in OPTIONS I go to:
VIDEO SETTINGS and choose Photo Jpeg as my COMPRESSION TYPE
Now, what will the resulting file be? Photo Jpeg Quick Time?
I apologize for being confused that much and thank for your patience.

Yes, the file would be a QuickTime movie using the Photo JPEG codec.
Photo JPEG is almost the same as Motion JPEG, and it's a good choice
for disk playback performance. For example, if you are editing
several video streams for a multicam edit, and want to do an offline version,
FCP will make Photo JPEGS.
Here is some more information on the Photo JPEG codec:

Quick Time Movies start halting after 20 minutes

I have a lot of movies in my presentations, most 30 minutes or so. After 20 minutes the Quick Time movies start halting, as if there's only 10 frames per second played, audio has no problem. The movies are made in FCP and exported as Quick Time movies. Anybody else has the same problem?

I found out that if you stretch the moviescreen too much Quick Time can't handle it any more ( stretching and playing) and after about 20 minutes it starts halting ( as if it only plays 10 frames per second).
I play the movies on a big screen with 500 x400 pix, that works fine!

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

Cannot open Quick Time movies in iLife 11

I got my first digitized Super8 films back on an external hard drive, 1 TB. They were converted to Quick Time movies 1280x720,
Codecs: Component Y' CbCr 10bit 4:2:2 ( I have no idea what this all means). All I had asked was to get them in .mov files. Quick Time movies seems to be something different than .mov files.
What can I do to open these Quick Time movies and to edit them in iLife 11?
Would appreciate if somebody could help me .

The information about the codec in Final Cut Express is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3523
I have a lot of old Super8 films and decided to get them digitized. After that I intend to discard the old analog films and keep two copies of these old Super8 movies on external hard drives. Therefore I am looking for the best possible quality at a reasonable price.
The first batch last year was digitized to what they called uncompressed .mov files and could be easily imported and edited in imovie.
For the second batch (another service) I decided to go HD in .mov files, again uncompressed (the HD quality 1280x720 seems to be remarkably better) What I got are these Quick Time movies that I cannot open in Quick Time and imovie does not let me import these Quick Time movies, whereas the uncompressed .mov files last year were a breeze to handle. What's the difference between 'uncompressed' .mov files vs. Quick Time 'uncompressed' that I cannot open in imovie.
Now you are pointing out that FCE does not let me edit uncompressed QT files. How do I convert to .mov or MPEG Streamclip?
Would I purchase Final Cut Express only to be able to open those movies in Quick Time?
Feels like I am at the low end of the learning curve.
Appreciate all help I can get for my project.
