Quicktime Export - Double Speed

I have had more problems with Quicktime Export ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. My usual way of doing things is to edit my movie, then export to +Quicktime Movie+ using the same format (ie not +Quicktime Conversion+...). However, every time I export that way, my movie is running at 200%, while the audio is running at regular speed. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

No one helped. Oh well.

Why doesn't Quicktime play audio in double speed any longer?

Until recently, a person could click on the FF button to play a video/audio file in double speed and hear the audio. This was especially helpful when watching/listening to lectures. Now when you play in double speed there is no audio. What happened? Is there a glitch in the software? I hope the feature is returned to its former design.

Finally figured it out the solution! (This only applies to Mac users.)
Firefox 3.x ran in 32-bit mode and Quicktime 7.x runs in 32-bit mode, so the two programs worked just fine together. The new Firefox 4.x, however, runs in 64-bit mode, so the 32-bt Quicktime 7.x plug-in no longer works correctly.
Luckily the fix is simple: just switch Firefox 4.x from 64-bit mode down to 32-bit mode. Here's how:
[] Close Firefox 4.0
[] Highlight the Firefox icon in the Applications folder
[] Click COMMAND-i to open the Get Info window
[] Click on the box marked: OPEN IN 32-BIT MODE and close the window
[] Launch Firefox
You can now save Quicktime files as before, assuming you have Quicktime Pro.
[] After closing Firefox, you can un-check the OPEN IN 32-BIT MODE box so Firefox will once again run in 64-bit mode.

Why do my quicktime movies playback at double speed? Please help

Hello all, this is my first post.
For some reason all of the sudden my quicktime movies that are 2 months old or older playback at double speed although the sound plays back as normal. Any movies that are less than 2 months old are ok. All these videos have been taken with my digital cam which records files in mov. Also any of these files which i convert to flash also play back 2 time faster when i select the converted swf file. Please help as i have hundreds of files which are affeceted. Any new clips i record playback fine.
Also I copied and pasted a problematic video on my wifes newer pc and the clip still has the same problem.
Thanks in adavance

I think I figured it out.. didn't see that you could choose what type when importing.

Saving m4a or m4v as new file at double speed

Hi - I know I can listen to or watch an m4a or m4v file at double speed in QT7 using the A/V controls, but is there a way that I can save as or export the file at double speed? I want to be able to replay it at double speed on my ipod.
Thanks

A/V control settings are not saved with the file except for playback in QuickTime Player (and only that machine).
In order to "trick" the QuickTime Player app to play the fie at double (or any other speed) you need to make a new file. You do this by adding (scaled) your source file with a "dummy" file.
The dummy file represents the "time" you wish for the source file to display at your desired playback speed. I use audio only files to keep things simple.
Once you add (Scaled) to a shorter duration the video and audio tracks will playback at a different speed.
You "extract" via the Movie Properties window of QuickTime Player Pro.

Quicktime Export causing Out of Sync Audio?

I'm trying to export a self contained Quicktime movie from my timeline, and every time I try, the audio ends up being out of sync. What am I doing wrong?
The audio is set to just the defaults, 16 bit, 48khz.
Sequence settings: HDV1080p30
When I bring the final exported movie back into FCP, it plays out of sync.
Exporting through the Share feature to bluRay resulted in perfect sync audio, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.
Please help!

Allright, since nobody out there seems to have the answer - I'm going to share what I discovered so that the next person will actually get an answer without having to spend hours and hours finding it in other forums. Here goes:
Problem: Audio plays in sync on the timeline, an export from the timeline through Share to bluRay results in correctly synced audio; but a Quicktime Export with current settings results in a final movie where audio is out of sync with the video.
Solutions: I found two solutions to this problem:
1- When exporting to Quicktime Movie, check "recompress all frames". This solution had mixed reviews, with lots of people saying you should never do this, as it will reduce the quality of your final output; while others said the reduction in quality was not noticeable to the naked eye. I guess you can try it and be the judge.
2- In your sequence settings, change the compression setting to Apple Pro Res. This is the setting I decided to go with, as I'm currently awaiting the 10 hour render.
I did do a quick and dirty test on the ProRes option, where it appeared to work. Since the audio is correctly synced in the beginning of the video and then slowly falls out of sync (obviously the 30p to 29.97 problem), I had to run a test using my entire sequence. If you run a test on a 2 minute sequence, it will appear to be correct, because it is a slow falling out of sync issue - the problems occur later in your project (just fyi). Here is what I did (in case you want to try it on your project):
I created a new sequence and then changed the compression setting from HDV1080-30p to Apple Pro Res 422. I dragged my sequences into this sequence (so they were nested). I unlinked the audio and then selected about a 20 second area from about 3/4 of the way through the project. I sliced this section and then removed all the video before and after (so it would speed up render time and only render black, but I would still be able to see if the audio synced up later - I hope that makes sense - this made my export time only 12 minutes). After it exported, I reimported the movie, found the little 20 second area, and it was correctly synced. So, now I am exporting the whole thing. I sincerely hope this works. I don't have lots of 10 hour blocks just lyin' around!
Since my audio issue was most likely due to the fact that I captured and edited in 1080 30p, I believe it must be a bug in FCP that exports the Quicktime movie in 29.97 regardless of whatever your sequence settings are (believe me, I tried to change it to 1080-30p and it didn't work). That is why I think the Apple Pro Res option works, but it involves a total re-render of your project. This is also why I believe it plays fine in the timeline, because my timeline was set to 30p. Again, I also believe that is why my export to BluRay through Share resulted in correctly synced audio - the bluRay export I believe uses the Pro Res codec (which, by the way, took 19 hours).
Wish Apple would fix this bug.

1st movie uploaded to youtube plays @ double speed

Using a 4-year-old 13" MacBook with iMovie HD 6.0.3 I created a 36-second video which, when uploaded to youtube, has the video playing at double speed but the audio playing normally until the audio gets cut off since the video now has been reduced to 19 seconds in length.
On the youtube help forum I see others who have had a similar problem are being asked for info obtained from a freeware app called MediaInfo which gives all the particulars on codecs, I guess, but that software is not available for Mac.
Afraid I have not kept up to date on movies—am doing this for a friend and have no idea what to do. So far no one has responded to my query on the forum. Any direction would be appreciated.

There aren't any settings in iDVD that would increase or decrease the speed of a video, so you may want to take a look at the Quicktime movie properties to see if it was compressed by cutting the frames per second in half (eg, 15 frames/sec rather than the standard 30 fps).
If the original is 15 fps, you might try running a sample through MPEG Streamclip, iMovie, Quicktime Pro, Roxio Toast... to see if one of those can add frames back into the video so it's the standard 30 fps. I've not encountered this before, so don't fool around with your original and search the archives here and over in the forums associated with the software mentioned.

Quicktime export contains random grey frames

Lately, doing a straight Quicktime export (not Quicktime conversion) is resulting in movies with random grey frames in them, lasting about 12 frames or so each. This is HD footage, shot on the Panasonic DVX-100. This only seems to happen when exporting certain sequences, but I haven't been able to establish a pattern as to why it's happening on certain exports but not on others. It's all footage shot, ingested, and edited on sequences with the same exact settings.
It's only been happening since upgrading to QT 7.5, but the other computer in the office also upgraded, and it hasn't encountered this problem, and can export the same sequences I'm having problems with just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this, or offer a solution?

for the record this was not my first post, I forgot my account info. I'm normally very nice but studio x was just puffing his chest and belittling a good question
This is a Final Cut issue. If it were only a drive/scsi issue the errors would also be there in the animation codec as well. The bad frames ONLY occur when doing a quicktime export [DVCPRO HD 720](referenced, render all frames, and self contained). I'm not dismissing the fact that there very well may be a drive causing problems (G-SPEED XL12).
The bad frames do not occur any other time. I render plenty of things in the exact same codec over the network to the raid from AE and Motion and never ever have a problem.
One thing I am doing differently now is long form projects. The projects having issues are a one hour show and a two hour+ show. I don't have this problem with commercials or other small packages. It also doesn't matter if it's a random 10 sec section exported or the whole program.
This is what I'm working with:
HVX200 and other mixed footage
FCP and QT last updated in early july (no internet connection)
G-SPEED XL12
Fibre channel to one station that also acts as a file server
gigabit to one station from the file server
trunked gigabit to another station from the server (seperate NIC)
All three stations exhibit the same problem including the station connected via Fibre Channel
Other people are having the same problem as I've found by searching. The earliest report of this specific issue I've found so far was stated around Jan of this year. But there are more reports from this summer.

After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108)

I am using CS3 After Effects and have been receiving this After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108). Can anyone help with this issue?
I am using a Mac Pro 6-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz with 6 memory slots at 1GB DDR3 ECC at Speed 1333MHz.

Sounds like one of those many "old version of AE on new hardware" issues... You may need to fiddle with Rosetta or install it in teh first place, if you haven't already and you may also require a specific older version of Quicktime...

Double Speed Rendering in Final Cut

I am having an odd problem with Final Cut 6 that used to just happen when I would export to "current settings" but has now migrated into my preview renderings.
When I render, the video plays back at double speed, and audio renders fine. The result is half the video render is double speed and the rest is black. Very annoying and I cannot properly edit this way.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, when I import my footage, the line is grey and not red and plays just fine. However, if I export and use "Current Settings" the rendered file will come out double speed. If I add an effect and it requires a rendering, the preview will render and double speed. If I can figure out and fix what is doing this, my life will be a whole lot less stressful.
BTW, the funny thing is, if I do NOT export using "current settings" but rather choose HDV 1080i60, it creates the new file just fine. :-/

Poor Quality of Photo JPEG Quicktime Export PPro CS4

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
2 Xeon Dual Core 3.2 Ghz
2 GB RAM
XP SP3
Nvidia 8600 GT
The program that I use for presentation (ProPresenter) prefers Quicktime files rendered in the Photo JPEG format. I render it from a HDV 1080i 60 time line to a 1280x720 file.
In CS3 this worked great. In CS4 when I render it out, the file looks terrible. I even bumped it to 100% quality (normally I do about 85% in CS3)
The video has bad posterization and looks like it has been rendered at a low bit rate, which I think may be what is happening. CS3 didn't let me set the bit rate, and neither does CS4, but 2 minute files took about 700 MB to 1 GB after being exported in CS3. The resulting files in CS4 are 150 MBs.
The bit rate option when Photo JPEG and many other Quicktime codecs is selected, is greyed out and cannot be set.
So what can I do? I NEED to be able to export to Photo JPEG at high quality. Why would Premiere not allow me to set a bit rate, but more over, use such a low one? At least in CS3 it chose a high bitrate for you.
Am I missing something? Are others having this problem with Quicktime exports?
Here is the output from CS3. Some banding in the bacground gradients, but that's to be expected with JPEG.
Here is the output from CS4. Banding is much worse, jaggedy posterization, obvious artifacts. All of this becomes even more apparent with motion.

I would like to follow up a little bit. After talking to my friend, the bitrate problem was addressed in the 4.1 patches and exporting to Photo JPEG at least was fixed, at least that's what he told me and from his description of the problem, I'm quite sure he knew exactly what I was talking about.
But still, after he listed his annoyances such as the much longer render times, and an interface and timeline playback that just never seems to be quite fast enough to keep up, I long for the simple interface of Premiere 6.5 with updated HD capabilities. Every step since then has made the interface more unnessarily resource intensive.
I don't think I'll be upgrading to CS4, sorry Adobe. Please stop making Premiere for super machines. I have a very good computer, and it's having trouble running Premiere CS4. It doesn't NEED to be this resource intensive. It doesn't have to bog down when it's run on anything but the best of the best computers.
In a simple A-B-C comparison, the speed of playing an HD clip with a couple effects goes down and down and down as you go from Pro 1.5 -> CS3 -> CS4. Why? What other areas are so improved that we need to have such a slowdown of the core?
Sorry, I'll stop venting now. I was just so hoping that I could recomend we upgrade to CS4 and solve some of our CS3 problems.

Hit Play video plays about double speed

When I play the video I am working on in the timeline, the video starts normal (for about a second) but then starts racing at about double speed. If I turn the external video to off under the "view" pulldown menu, the playback is normal.

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

Quicktime export to dv format (preferably PAL)

Hmmm,
I just read Karsten's post and I think I already know the answer but ...
I really need to be able to export a slideshow from iPhoto to DV PAL format. For some reason I can't understand, iMovie produces really bad moire interference patterns with my mum's still photos in the Ken Burns effect, but iPhoto doesn't. I can work around this if I can just do the photo animation and transitions in iPhoto then export to iMovie to add captions, titles, music, voice overs and chapter markers.
The highest quality export I can find is 640x480 which is virtually useless to me. Karsten's post suggests that the frame rate is for NTSC and I need PAL.
I was certain this was possible in previous versions of iPhoto - am I correct.
Why does Apple keep taking away the things I want - firewire, replaced iMovie HD with iMovie 08 (yuck!), export options (what have I missed?)
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can point me at a workaround that isn't too complicated for my mum.
Steve

Neither iPhoto 4 or 5 has a PAL option under the Quicktime export, only size options. Which iMovie version are you having trouble with? If it's V7 try downloading and usingiMovie HD 6 which has been made available to iLife 08 users who want the many features of V6 that were dropped out of V7.
An alternative that I suggested in the topic with Karsten was using QT Player to convert to PAL after exporting out of iPhoto. It creates a larger file but if you're going into iDVD it will be encoded again. The extra encoding may lessen the image quality but you'd have to give it a try, save the iDVD project as a Disk Image (File->Save as disk image) and play the disk image with DVD Player to see how the encoding went before committing to disk (burn with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available).
Happy New Year
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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Flash and quicktime export not possible at all!

hi iwork dev team!
as there was no result on my prev post, here again:
i use keynote'08 4.02 on imac with 2gb and osx 10.5.2.
i created a presentation with 15 slides and over all 16,5 minutes.
each slide has a mp3 sound file attached (the speakers voice recorded externally).
now i am facing following problems on *export to flash* (export is around 18mb):
1) synchronization of voice and effects is different than inside keynote - i fixed this by changing times and export/test cycles, as long until i run sync in swf (please make it sync - this is terrible).
2) starting with slide 13 some objects do not appear - in further slides many objects do not appear. the sound and time is ok, but not much to see. if i split the presentation into 2 parts, the export works fine, all objects appear in all slides, but i found no way to combine those 2 swf files....
3) in one slide i found out that the order of appearing/disappearing objects confuses the swf export, so that many objects afterwards are not at all shown.... i played around long and splitted the slide in 2 slides and with some workarounds i got it show all objects.
4) it would be great if at least some transitions and most effects would be supported and times of effects would be the same inside keynote and in exported swf.
*exporting to quicktime*:
1) first i had one large mp3 for the whole presentation and added it as soundtrack and synced it inside keynote. exporting this to quicktime made it run async. but at least export was possible for the full presentation.
2) i splitted the mp3 for each slide and added each mp3 to each corresponding slide. this way i made it possible to export to swf (see above). but quicktime export now has no sound and slide shows up nearly endless.... qt export is impossible.
what can i do?
at least it would help me if i can export ONE swf file.
best would be if it has same sync inside keynote and in swf - but i can live for now with swf export optimized sync that doesnt work inside keynote. but it should be fixed at least in the future....

I'm currently having a similar problem, where the Flash exported by Keynote seems to randomly miss some objects on the page that appear after a click or a delay. In fact, in one case, I had embedded a EPS file in the slide, and some parts of the embedded file were exported to Flash but not others. I'm using Keynote 3.0.2, so I'm sorry to hear that Keynote '08 still has this bug which makes Flash export pretty awful to deal with.

Music Will No Longer Play Double Speed

After changing to iOS 5 I cannot find a way to play things double speed on my iPad 2. Am I missing something or has this feature been taken away?

It has been taken away.

Quicktime Export - Keynote, Streaming, and Movie Controller Settings

A few questions regarding qt export from keynote -
Is there a way to save quicktime export settings in keynote? Right now I'm exporting multiple files to custom sizes, and have to manually enter the size every time.
I'm exporting for streaming as well, and have to select it in the qt settings window every time.
also, is there a way to choose to show the movie controller when exporting a movie? Now I have to open the movie after export in qt pro and choose window>movie properties>presenation>movie controller type>movie controller (it defaults to none when exporting from keynote).
also, oddly enough, is seems that saving the movie after choosing to show the movie controller removes the streaming setting (movies wait to load completely before playing).
Thanks!

No answer to the main question...but the final question--
When you edit a QuickTime movie, even if the edit is merely to change the settings on the controller, it breaks fast-start. You should be able to fix it by doing a "Save As..." instead of saving the movie in place. But that doesn't seem to work in all versions of QuickTime; I have noticed that certain versions of QT-7 seem to break fast-start altogether.
There is an app out there called "Lillipot" that will fix this for you. Drag your movie to Lillipot, it does whatever magical conversion is necessary to make fast-start work again.
