Quick time won't play mp4 rendered in After Effects.

Since I upgrade to Mavericks i've been unable to play mp4 videos rendered using After Effects cs5. After rendering i get a file icon with the quicktime logo instead if the usual thumbnail with the play button; first indication that the clip might not play. Then when i try to play it i get the error message: "The document “MVI_7772.mp4” could not be opened. This media may be damaged." What do i do?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks3e

I would not expect CS5 apps to be very compatible with Mavericks. You could try to render the file out in After Effects as a Quicktime MOV file using H264 and see if that works for you. If it does you can change the extension from mov to mp4.

  • Quick time won't play in safari

    Quick Time Player won't open in Safari 6.0.

    I found a workaround - You have to restart Safari in 32 bit mode. It will play QT files. Of course this just means that it may make it unstable, but where were we before 64 bit anyway.
    I think those Apple nerds should get this sorted out - its been several years since people have posted the same problem, and I am not sure what motivates them, but it would help to get someone to explain the process or at least find a solution.

  • Specific set of XDCam EX720p50 footage won't play in Premiere (or After Effects)

    Hi There
    I've been given a media drive full of past projects and media by a client, which contains (among other things) .mov files which Quicktime Player Movie Inspector tells me are XDCam EX720p50 35Mb/s VBR 1280x720, 16 bit integer (little-endian), Stereo 48Khz.  The sound plays fine, but the video shows only a red screen with occasional digital-dropout-like square flicking across the screen.
    This PC system is newly installed and running OK, and footage of the same type (given the same credentials by Quicktime Player) from a different client plays fine in Premiere
    (Quicktime player will open both sets of files and give you the info, but sends you to the extra-codec page)
    So my conclusion is there's a problem with the set of files that won't play (rather than the system)
    And my question is....
    WHAT CAN I DO?  Can anyone give me some advice on how I might get these files working?  They have been edited before in a previous version of Premiere by another editor, without issue so they should work...
    All help appreciated
    Thanks

    (Premiere CS5.5, Win 7 64bit, core i7 2600K at 4.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM, GeFore GTX 570)

    I have a similar problem. A friend sent me the .mov files he recordedin the XDCAM 16x9 1920x1080 . I can't import them into my Win7 Premiere Pro. Codec Missing or unavailable. Lots of people seem to have the same proble id using a PC - particularly when they have been sent the .mov files on a hard drive. The folder
    I can play the videos using VLC but not on WindowsMedia or DivX (sound only) or with QuickTime ( won't load - needs new software from Adobe plugins)
    If this is a codec problem why can VLC play it?
    I have checked out the files with MediaInfo and they are slightly different to the above. Are there ary rules to determing the value of the parameter for the bat file for my mov file. I think this looks like stereo but you will recognise the information you would need. I tried the current bat but that has another audio file map.

  • HT3523 I have done all my updates & my quick time will not play this new project, what is the problem?

    My computer is updated but my quick time will not play a mov. file that i exported from final cut on a different Mac , what is the problem?

    Final Cut adds some codecs that are not part of normal OS X.  If your movie uses one of these codecs it won't play on a system that does not have Final Cut.
    Adding these codecs may help:

  • Front Row won't play .mp4 files

    I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
    Please help!!

    iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
    You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

  • Windows media won't play mp4, audio no video

    I upgraded from a desktop to the HP TouchSmart 15 TS Notebook PC so that I would have all the functionality
    of a new operating system that would work. Guess I was mistaken?!?!?! I have the same problem I had with my old crappy desk-top, MP4 videos still don't play on Windows 8.1???? I get audio but no video????? just a black screen?????

    According to Microsoft support website, Windows Media Player still won't support MP4 files. Though we can make WMP play MP4 video by install some codec, sometime we still encounter can't play MP4 in Windows Media Player issue. MP4 is a container format which may contain multiple video and audio streams. And the video and audio stream can be encoded any of several ways. If the MP4 video or audio codec is not WMP installed codec supported one, Windows Media Player won't play MP4 video of this kind. In order to solve "Windows Media Player won't play MP4 files even when the appropriate codec is installed" and to successfully play any MP4 video in Windows Media Player, we had better convert MP4 to Windows Media Player more supported video format like WMV, AVI.

  • QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

    I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
    Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
    Error signature from Windows:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
    P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
    P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

    I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load

  • HT1351 Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

    Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Clips rendered in After Effects appear blown out in Color.

    720p DVCPRO 23.98 project from FCP has graphics rendered in After Effects (same codec) in sequence.
    They appear fine in the FCP project. All the properties of the graphic clips match the same settings as the footage that was shot.
    Once in COLOR the clips rendered from AE appear blown-out, washed-out...
    Any ideas why or how to correct this?
    thanks!

    There is also a problem with Big-Endian-ness being flip-flopped with dpx files incompatible with some external graphics processing software. This has the feel of some sort of scaling misinterpretation.
    Shake was broken (in Quicktime) for anything above 8-bit for a long time before that finally got fixed about 6 months ago. All of a sudden (after the FCS2 introduction and Quicktime update) all we got out after a seemingly normal render (showed up fine in Preview) was a big noiseball of something that looked vaguely like it might be the outline of the original media. Its curious that FCP previews it "okay"... did you indicate the recompressing software? Compressor?

  • Making a Quick Time for Export needs no rendering?

    Is it true that when you Export a Sequence as a Quick Time you don't need to render, that it renders itself?  That's what someone told me.  That would save me hours of lost time!  Thank you in advance.

    No...rendering happens as it exports. It'll render the frame, then export the frame.  It will not save any time at all. IN fact, in some cases, it adds time.  Do a test.  2 min sequence...unrendered.  Time it...render, then export.  And then undo the renders...and just export.  It will take the same amount of time.
    The best part about rendering and then exporting is that you now have a rendered sequence you can play back.  If you just export...the renders only appear in the exported file.
