QuickTime export/share fails to export video in Lion OS

I have a 9 gb .mov file (that I created and exported from FCP 7). I can open this file in QT, it opens & plays fine. I am however not able to create a compressed m4v version of this file from QT. I need to do this to enable a download of this movie onto my iPad, iPhone and stream through Apple TV, It creates an m4v file with no video but just audio. This problem happens with both the Export & Share options. And NO, I am not using the "Audio only" option. This was a simple task through Snow Leapord and I have done that several times. Not sure what to do, I am not able to get any help form Apple Support (I have a valid support extended warrenty). Can someone please help?

Thank you for the answer. The information was useful, the tone was not what I expected. When I asked whether more specific headings could be encouraged, I meant it out of sympathy for the moderators/answerers, not to incur their ire. Perhaps it would have been better if I'd left out the editorial comment.
I searched for 'audio', which I thought was a more technical term than 'sound'.
I read the indicated specs for QT above. The MPEG shortcoming is not laid out there clearly in any sense. MPG is not listed as an export format, so from that I would conclude QT can't export to MPEG1.
It is clear in the Apple article. For it to be 'clear' to anyone right away, it should be added in one sentence to the relevant help section of QT: 'QT will not export files with some codecs because of their proprietary neature.'
Or it should be in a pop-up message as soon as you try to export an mpg: 'Because mpeg is ownded by someone else, export will only render video'.
I believe I asked a valid question, and provided a specific account of my problem, so this post will be useful for future browsers.
Because VisualHub dealt easily with mpg, I thought QT must too. I was wrong.

"Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:

"Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:
I am moving from Bridge CS5 to CS6 and have a very large number of 100% Previews in my CS5 cache. The idea of regenerating all these 100% Previews in CS6 is NOT amusing. It is amazing that there is not a simple import function for this task as a way to make the software upgrade more "seamless"… but apparently there is not.
I have read the Adobe documents:
    "Bridge Help / Manage the cache | Adobe Bridge CS4, CS5"
    "Creative Suite / Work with the Adobe Bridge cache"
Based on these documents, in Bridge CS5 I used the export function in
Tools>Cache>Build and Export Cache…
    with "Build 100% Previews" checked
    and "Export Cache To Folders" checked.
Unfortunately, the "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews to the target directory. They should appear in the target directory as hidden files in the format xxxxx.NEF.JPG. Yes, I do know how to view hidden files in both the Finder and in Bridge.
In Bridge CS5 I tried Purging and rebuilding the Cache for the target directory with no luck.
I tried running "Build and Export Cache" in Bridge CS6…. still no hidden Preview files in the target directory.
My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Preferences:
    "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" is checked
    "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" is checked
My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation:
    "Generate 100% Previews" is checked
Using OS X 10.6.8
Anyone have a suggestion?????

Bridge is the only piece of software I have used, which incorporates a database, where new versions do not provide for importing the objects of the older version. Very strange.
That is a very mildly conclusion but unfortunately until the cache strategy for Bridge is finally sorted out this problem will exist.
Now I have to confess that I can't use the 'Auto export cache when possible' for several versions now due to a rare problem that after the first time usage without problem created export cache almost every second time generates a warning message that due to failure it needs to replace the Cache T file, hence I deselected this option permanently.
I would think that if you have those already cached and exported files for 100 % preview in the dedicated folders it would read those files and add it to the database and central cache file when having pointed Bridge to that folder, but I'm far from sure about that.
Also after rereading your first post you state to expect the build and export cache to build also hidden files with the two extensions from original filetype followed by .jpg from cache in the folder itself (target directory)? Here I'm a bit lost. The mentioned double extension files only appear in the central cache folder and are visible but buried in the subfolders for each quality in the central cache file at user library (default) or custom set location in Bridge prefs.
The exported cache to folder are hidden files and as long as I can remember that where 2 files already in the File browser (forgot the extension they used for this) and currently .BridgeCache (very small, few KB) and the for me problematic .BridgeCacheT file that can grow very large and has about the same size as the subfolder generated under full in the central cache.
I can see the content of the central cache without problem including the double extensions and previews of the files as thumbs in the Finder, jet with option to show hidden files I can see the CacheT file but only as a blank document icon and I can't find an application on my system to open this file to reveal its content.
Just tried it on a folder with small sized files and having set preview quality to HQ and 100 % preview (checkerboard icon in Path Bar) and then used the option from menu tools to build and export cache to folder including 100 %. Both subfolder in Central Cache and about same sized hidden CacheT file where generated without problems and the full preview was instantly on demand using magnifier. (but all this without the option in prefs to auto export to folder)
So to me it seems (if I understand everything correctly) that either the existing exported files from CS5 do cause the problem or your setup of CS6 is not working correctly.
Are we still on the same track or am I completely lost?

BUG: Library- Export Playlist FAILS to export playlist containing Playlist

iTunes 8.0.2 now allows “Playlist Folders” to contain other “Playlists” and be included in a “Playlist”.
To create an env't to demonstrate the BUG create a new playlist called playlistFldrA by selecting File->New Playlist Folder. Move into playlistFldrA and create another File->New Playlist Folder and label it level1. Also create File->New Playlist and label it musicSet1, populate musicSet1 with some songs. Move into level1 and create another File->New Playlist Folder and label it level2. Create File->New Playlist and all it musicSet2, populate musicSet2 with some more songs.
To replicate the BUG select playlistFldrA and use Library->Export Playlist to export the Playlist called playlistFldrA. Being a legitimate playlist created by iTunes, within iTunes, the export Playlist shouldn't be grayed out. The BUG causes the Export Playlist option to be inaccessible. Playlists: musicSet1 within playlistFldrA and musicSet2 within level1 can be exported, but the BUG prevents playlists: playlistFldrA, level1, level2 and the playlists they contain from being exported by the Library->Export Playlist function.
When will this BUG be corrected?
Thanks,
Peter

Katrina,
Thank you for providing the link to the feedback page. Before posting this BUG report I searched apple.com for current instructions on how and where to do so. The feedback page seemed to me to just be just a place to add a feature request to products wish list instead of a place to report a BUG. But I also entered the same BUG description on to that form. Have to wait and see which BUG report apple support acts upon first.
Thanks again,
Peter

I keep getting Export PDF failed to export to Microsoft Excel. There was an unexpected problem.

Am I doing something wrong, thanks.
sincerely-david

Kindly mention the steps that you are following for doing the conversion .

Share fails

trying to use iMovie 10.0.1 and share the resulting work as a file. Keep getting "Share failed" because of video rendering error -50. I can see the movie in its entirety in my theater (even though that share also was tagged as failing). So, anybody have any idea?

If the volume's formatted as FAT32, it can't hold files which are 4GB or larger regardless of how much free space it has.

Trying to export/share in a format readable by Powerpoint2010 when insert video

Using Premier 11 Elements...... I'm trying to export/ share videos to my computer, then trying to insert them into a Powerpoint slide. It works fine if I use a raw WMV format straight from the camera, but they need editting. I'm doing the editing enhancing sound etc in Premier11 Elements, but when I "share' I can't find how to save as a .wmv format??
When I choose Share>Computer> I end up with MP4 files or XMPSES files... all will not function when inserted into Powerpoint. I get a message "media unavailable" after pasted. Or sometimes the message "Powerpoint cannot insert" this file format.
How do I export as a .wmv?? the help info available says Premier 11 elements should do this!?
thanks for any help you can give, I'm new to this and under a time crunch for work.

Elizabeth B65
Thanks for the great news. Glad the suggestions worked for you.
If you want to take your Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace Timeline to the 1920 x 1080 .wmv file for PowerPoint, the export from the following should insert into your PowerPoint 2010 nicely:
Publish+Share
Computer
Windows Media
with Presets = 720 x 480 16x9 29.97
Then under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, the essentials are:
Video codec = Windows Media Video 9
Encoding passes = Two
Bitrate Mode = Variable Unconstrained
Frame Width = 1920 pixels
Frame Height = 1080 pixels
Frame Rate = 29.97 frames per second
Pixel Aspect Ratio = Square Pixels (1.0)
The default "Average Video Bitrate" appears to be 1500 Kbps (kilobits per second). You can experiment with that later if necessary, finding the compromise between Bitrate, quality, and file size.
By the way, the installation of QuickTime is a requirement for working with Premiere Elements. The first sign of its absence is its presets missing from the Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime. Typically the program requires being run Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.
Please let us know how else we might help.
Thanks.

Please help me I do not show icon "next " if you want to export "share " a video file

Hi,
I purchased the program motion 5 from Apple Store
But I have a problem does not appear Icon " next " if you want to export "share " a video file
I experimented with the trial version before to buy the full version
Now I am very disappointed because all attempts failed
I have read some of the solutions in this site but to no avail
Thank you in advance for helping me

There is no trial version of Motion 5.
What exact "Share" option are you selecting to use?

Flash CS6, QuickTime: The export operation failed because it ran out of memory.

Exporting a QuickTime movie file seems to be an old issue with previous versions too. In CS6 I always get the error message: "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory." I've got tons of memory and have allocated increasing amounts to the cache with no success.
My small and fairly simple file was created with Flash CS5 which seemed to work fine at the time of creation. I've tried everything recommended online but with no luck so far. BTW, I reinstalled CS5 and tried that too but it just hangs now, and there's no error message.
Does anyone have a solution?
(OS X 10.7.4)

If I may join this discussion... I loaded up CS6 two days ago and have just completed my first 60 second animation using it. Like everybody else here, it all went fine until I tried to export it to QuickTime – something that has never been problematic before.
I ended up exporting it as a swf and opening that in CS4. Then I could export it, but the resulting QuickTime movie was over 500 MB in size! Okay, so then I opened it in QuickTime Pro and exported it from there. This brought the file size down to a far more reasonable 35 MB, but now the soundtrack has gone! So now I am having to replace the sound in Final Cut Pro.
This is a real palaver – and not conducive to heaping praise on CS6 when questioned. I note that there is talk of Adobe rectifying this "bug", but it would be really good to hear from somebody at Adobe with:
a) An apology
b) An estimated time of delivery
c) A best practice work round
But I'm guessing that anybody that works at Adobe will be the last person to read this...

Is there a way to export/share a project from 10.0.1 to Quicktime?

Any one else struggling with this? I think Mavericks seems good, early days though.

Cheers for that Matthew. Is there a way to do it(export/share project to QuickTime for rendering)
Or a similar function in the new iMovie?
Or could you direct me to a site with such details.
Much appreciated for any feedback. If I find anything I'll post a link here too.
Enjoy ya day

Keynote 08 will not finish export to quicktime, or share with any apps

I have a presentation that I am using a smartbuild (160 photos) that will not finish exporting to quicktime, or share with youtube or iweb/idvd, etc. It saved once out of twenty attempts. It freezes up around the last photo in the smartbuild then quits unexpectedly. Any tips?

The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

Cannot Export/Share video, but the options are available

Yes, that i exactly what you, or better yet, the person who sold the computer to you, should have done.
That is aside from the point nor does it have anything to do with my issue.
No, it is not. It is the point. The fact is that since you don't own a license to use the software you cannot update it and the version you have is not compatible with the current OS.

General Error; failed to render the timeline and failed to export HD mpg2

I have searched for the posts if there is same issue I'm having on the forum, and it seems it's similar yet not really...
So I decided to post one.
I have 2100 sequential frames in jpgs. (each jpg size is 1280x720)
I open "image sequence" in QT 7.04 with 29.97 fps, then save it as MOV in external HD with firewire.
Then I import it into FCP 5.04 on Timeline.
Timeline setting is
Frame Size : 1280x720 HDTV 720P (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio : Square uncheck Anamorphic 16:9
Filed Dominance : None
Editing Timebase : 29.97
Quick time Vieo Setting : Compressor -DVCPRO HD 720P60 Quality 100%
After I place the mov file on the timeline, the Red Bar shows up.
I tried to render the timeline, it will only try to render to 3% and stop, and "general error" pops up.
I tried to use Compressor 2.01 with HD mpg2 preset to export out as HD mpg2 format, and it will fail to export.
After I read several posts on here, I was wondering I might have corrupted mov...
I re-create MOV file from QT and import in FCP5 and do the same... but I still get the same error...
I tried to re-start computer and tried, no luck..
Then I was wondering maybe some of the jpgs is corrupted...
I'm not sure how to check which jpg file is corrputed since there is 2100 frames in directory.
It is able to show all jpgs as thumbnail images..
So my questions here.. are...
If I do anything wrong during the step?
If not... what's wrong? why i can't render the timeline, and why i can't export to HD?
Or if there is a "way" to figure out what file is corrupted..?
This is not first time I have the same problem, I even tried to test out with 10,000 jpgs frames and create mov ... and import in FCP5..etc...
I had no problem with render and export... so I don't think it's the "HD length" issue...
If anyone have the same issue or know what's wrong... please help!!!
Thank you,

I downloaded iview Media pro free trial version to catalog the image to see if there is any corrupted jpgs.
Unfortunately, it didn't find any corrupted jpgs.
I also tried to change the sequence setting, under "QuickTime Video Setting" from "DVCPRO HD 720p60" to "HDV 720p30" (since I found out the frame size for DVCPRO HD 720p60 is 960x720 with 59.99 fps).
The result I get after I placed mov on timeline, it used to give red bar, it gave me orange bar... which made me be able to render the timeline without problem.
However, Compressor still is not able to export HD mpg2.
Then I changed QuickTime Video Setting from HDV 720p30 to "photo-jpg", the bar is now grey, but still not able to export to HD mpg2.
now I don't really don't know what's going on.
anyone can suggest me what else I can try and see...??

Slideshow exports are failing

I've got my Aperture 3.2 library on my iMac failing to export a simple 5min slideshow.
Doesn't seem to matter what options, what themes, locations ... it spins for a few moments, then claims it's finished - yet no file appears.
Thoughts?
I've tried rebuilding / repairing my library (ran all three options).
I've exported the project into it's own library too, no joy.

Aha, got it!
I just removed the 3ivx codec from library\quicktime and tried again - now the percentage indicator is ticking along and nothing has failed yet.
If I recall, I installed that so I could use my old Flip video camera - not sure if it's an old version or not, but now it's gone, things seem to be working again.
Hope this helps some others - I've seen a few problems like this around as I was researching today.

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:
