Quicktime files on webpages, great audio, no video

starting off. i just ran the newest leopard update and I have the latest quicktime (pro even). but somehow when I am on a webpage including the apple page for trailers and video tutorials, i'm getting audio and no video.
any clues. usually it's a version difference or a codec issue but i'm getting no 'need software' error just no video

Update to first post.
The Flip Video camcorder records or "captures" video in MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format, saved as an AVI file.
MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format = usually DivX
1.) With Mpeg streamclip you should be able to convert your AVI(Divx) files to a DV format for iMovie. To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free Divx Pro codecs on your system.
MPEG Streamclip 1.8

DivX Pro Codec 6.6 (6-month trial)

2.) Visual Hub $24 should be able to convert WMV and AVI (compressed with the DivX Codec)to a DV format for iMovie.

3.) With Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro $29 you can convert your WMV files for iMovie.

Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo...... the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface. But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently..... it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

When importing a Quicktime file into iMovie the audio is inconsistently synchronised with the video. Any ideas?

I record using Quicktime and the built in webcam on my MacBook Pro. When importing the file to iMovie the audio is inconsistent in its syncronisation with the video. Any ideas?

This is probably caused by the internal webcam on Apple devices being optimized for FaceTime rather than for movie making. In FaceTime, the goal is to transmit the information using a little bandwidth as possible, so the video will be recorded at a variable frame rate. The frame rate will get low if you are still, and will speed up if there is a lot of motion.
To fix, I would suggest that you use a free app like MPEG Streamclip. Drag the clip into MPEG Streamclip and export it out at a constant framerate.
If it is an HD movie, I suggest exporting it from MPEG Streamclip using FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video compression. For sound, choose uncompressed 48khz. That should work, but I can't test it right now. If MPEG Streamclip does not work for you, let me know and I can recommend another free tool.

Import files has only imported audio, not video

I used FCP7 to capture some footage from DV PAL.
I then went to FCPX, chose "Import Files" and selected the 2 clips I had captured. I chose to copy into the FCPX events library. FCPX only imported the audio, and not the video.
This is the movie info:
DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
Is this a bug?

Hi Charlottehjc,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Is it happening with a specific .mov file or with all the .mov files.
Right click on the video and choose new sequence from clip, then check if the issue persists.
Also please mention are you using Windows or Mac and the version of Premiere Pro.
Thanks

Where is the temporary file located for streaming audio or video?

I've noticed that when listening to streaming radio that Safari (v. 4.0.2, MacBook, Leopard 10.5.8) is apparently storing the feed temporarily someplace on my computer, as one is able to go forward and back on the content, if one has paused the feed for awhile. Where is this temporary file located, i.e., what is the path on my computer for it (assuming that is where it is), please?

"Audio and video file that do download by way of Safari (progressive download) ...there are temp file, but the temp files themselves can't be open."
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for using the wrong term (streaming v. progressive), but my basic question still remains: WHERE then is the progressive temp file stored on my Mac (even if it can't be opened)?

MP4 files don't have audio tracks, Video track is blank.

How to get audio and video in one file

hi...I am "premiere beginner user" and I have a simple question , I think..:)...Every time when I am trying to export media out from my premiere (using media encoder) I get video file and some audio files, but what I need is only ONE file, that contains both (audio and video)..for example , I have edited film in hd quality and I want it to export, I choose h.264 format(make some settings,pal,audio quality...) and when it´s "all done", only "result" I get is one video file and two audio files and they are not together :).....so please help mme anyone..ok and as you can see I am not from english speaking country, so sorry for my english...thanks for help....

There is no indication that something is out-of-sync or the ability to move/slip into sync like in FCE/FCP.
To the best of my knowledge, using match frame and overwriting the video with video+audio (or attaching it as a connected clip if you don't want to overwrite the video, which might have effects applied) is the best way to do this.
You can use the blade tool first in the timeline to get just the section you want to get back into sync. Make cuts so that you have a single clip that needs the audio resynced, select it, and use shift-F to select the original synced clip in the Event Browser. Make sure your play head is at the beginning of this video clip in the timeline. Press option-2, then 'q', and now you have the audio back in your timeline, synced with the video. Delete the old, no-longer-synced audio and you should be set.

Why does the video I rendered as Quicktime file stop playing at one minute?

Hey guys! I need your help big time!
I am making a slideshow type video of pictures with titles and I am adding keyframes and using the Tweening tool between frames to add transitions to the video. I have added all the tweening slides, and when I export the video I am exporting it as a Quicktime file. When I watch the video all the transitions are good, but the entire video will not play.
There are 9 photos in the video and when I first play the video normally the first 5 pictures and their transitions show up, and then the video "stops" because it has reached one minute ("the end"), but if you let it sit there then the other 4 pictures and their transitions still play but the video is technically stopped.
Then when you rewind the video back to 30 or so seconds the 5th picture that it previously stopped at one minute on occurs at 30 seconds and then the other 4 play correctly with their transitions from 30 seconds to a minute.
I am going to be making several small video files like this and then merging them together to create the full file and before I go any further in the process I need to make sure that the video file Photoshop is rendering for me is the FULL file. Please, if anyone at all knows how to help me with this, then please do!
Thank you for your help!!

Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails. Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset. AME fails every time with the following message:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error."
Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine. The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime. I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
Interesting.
Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

Adding a .MOV / Quicktime file to Premiere CS4

Hi and apologies if this has been addressed before (I have had a look through...)

What codec is used in the .mov file? QT Player's Movie Inspector window should tell you.

Quicktime export from FCP universal, audio export function

Hey there, I just recently bought the 17 inch mac book pro and did the crossgrade swap to the latest version of FCP studio.
Doing my first complete video edit and DVD project and am at the export stage.
I am doing what I normally do on my dual 2.5 g5 and setting and IN point and an OUT point in FCP and exporting using quicktime.
Just as the defaults, (I do this and have done this dozens and dozens of times)
I do this, then I import that file (after FCP is done into compressor and go from there)
we all know the export using compressor thing isnt ready for primetime..
anyway, doing this and after the first dialgo box is done and it seems the whole thing is done...then a box comes up saying its exporting AUDIO and its going to take 4 hours!
I didnt choose this extra step, the default quicktime export dealy (not "using quicktime conversion) had all this covered I thought...I mean, it has every other time on the OTHER computer)
I canceled this and checked my resulting exported file (the quicktime one) and all the audio and video is intact..
but the process I cancelled bothers me...any ideas?
thanks so much

> sorry I am all over the place info wise maybe
No problem - we all find it hard to explain things clearly when we're frustrated by problems like this!
Well that's strange - but at least it's clear what's happeneing now!
I'm at a loss really but if it were me, I'd trash the preferences and repair permissions, then if that didn't work, I'd create a new project in FCP and transfer the clips over. Sometimes this can iron out strange bugs.
Failing all, I'd create a new ID on my Mac and work from there - but if this works, then Jerry's advice regarding the clean install is a must, really.
Another thing I'd try is exporting direct through Compressor - it's a wonderful tool and you really should get to know it. It would be worth using Compressor to export a QT movie to see whether it makes any difference.
Is the full project on the G5 as well as the MBP?
