Quicktime no longer exporting my movies with file extensions

Hi all, QT is no longer exporting or saving movies with file extensions. The only way i can view extensions is to turn on all extensions in finder which means i get .app in my apps folder which i find looks naff, have i changed something to cause this?
Cheers

In the export or save dialog windows is a check box to "hide" the file extension.
Remove that check mark.

Exporting Reference Movies with Lion and QT X

Has anybody else had issues exporting Reference Movies from FCP7 under Lion?
When we open a Reference Movie created with FCP7/Lion in QT X 10.1 (the version that ships with Lion), we're only able to see the first frame of the movie, followed by black/blank video, and audio only.
Curiously, QT7 (on Lion) and QT X 10.0 (on Snow Leopard) are able to play these movies without a problem. However, a number of 3rd-party applications and devices that we use in our facility (most notably an Omneon Spectrum) choke on the reference movies in a similar manner to QT X 10.1.
We've got a support ticket open with Omneon, although they claim to have never heard of the problem, and are currently picking their way through the issue as well. However, there are scattered reports of others who are having similar problems.
For the sake of thoroughness, it's worth mentioning that this is a brand-new Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.2, and FCP 7.0.0; both fresh installs (apparently downgrading to SL is unsupported on this machine). We tried patching FCP to 7.0.3 with Pro Application Update 2010-02, which did not resolve the problem. We've since reverted to 7.0.0, to rule out the patch as the culprit. The reference movies in question do not contain any edits that would require a render, and everything's stored on a NAS that's accessible to the whole office (hence the fact that we're able to view the files on our Snow Leopard machines.
Picking apart the reference movie using Apple's Atom Inspector shows one curious detail in the alias data inside 'dref' atom inside of the reference movie (which is how QT figures out where the original media is). Rather than being a simple file pointer, the alias actually contains a whole bunch of information, including the "relative" path to the video data, relative to the original location of the reference movie, as well as the absolute path of that file, starting from the root of the filesystem. Both of these paths are presented in "Mac" and "Unix" formats, ie:
Mac: volume:folder1:folder2:filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
Key difference is the use of colons, rather than slashes to separate folders in the path. At least, that was the key difference prior to Lion. We've noticed that, while the SL machines export reference movies with paths that resemble the above, our Lion machine generates:
Mac: volume:folder1: folder2: filename
Unix: /volume/folder1/folder2/filename
(Notice the spaces)
When we attempt to play the movies with our Omneon applications or in QT X 10.1, our NAS throws a whole bunch of 'File not Found' errors. Presumably, those spaces are the culprit. Removing the spaces with a hex editor completely mangles the QT movie, and renders it compltetely unplayable.
Unfortunately, the alias data inside the dref atom doesn't appear to be a standard Mac OS alias, and the only documentation of the alias file format (linked above) is hilariously out of date. Presently, the format is undocumented, and it appears that developers are discouraged from interacting with the files directly. In other words, I have no way of knowing whether or not the spaces are actually significant, or are a completely innocuous and documented part of the file format.
Has anybody encountered anything similar, or found a solution? I'm at a bit of a dead-end here, and would welcome any advice.

I totally understand where you're coming from; Apple's support of some of QuickTime's more advanced features has unfortunately been waning for some time now.
Avoiding the buggy parts of the program is always a good strategy, although the ability to quickly export reference movies is something that is absolutely vital to our workflow. Simply put, losing these files is an absolute dealbreaker.
Two things seem to be going on... FCP on Lion appears to be generating slightly malformed reference movies, and QT X 10.2 seems to be freaking out when it tries to play back those movies (while prior versions are seemingly able to work around the problem). I suppose this could have something to do with the introduction/evolution of QTKit and AV Foundation on Lion, although I'm surprised that this would be affecting FCP7, which was built around older APIs.

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

How can I export a movie with audio that I have edited in logic 9 to a quicktime movie

I imported a quicktime movie into logic and added audio and effects but when i export it the original audio from the quicktime movie is still there even though it doesn't sound in logic!

Hi
One of teh final steps in the Export to Movie process is a dialog box where one can select which of the audio tracks embedded within the movie are included.
You must actively de-select those tracks that you do NOT want to include in the Export.

Export a Movie with with the chart only - no background

I need to integrate charts into a training film I am doing and I am having a problem. I need to export the chart to QT as the chart only so I can import it into Final Cut and use it as an overlay on top of other footage.
I understand transparency and "No background" come into play here be no matter how I export the chart/QT move has a background.
Is this even possible...how do I do this?
Thanks a lot.
M

1. You MUST set the background of each slide to NONE. It will look black I think (possibly white) but make absolutely sure it's set to NONE for every slide.
2. You must check the include transparency function in the QT export window
3. You MUST MUST MUST choose either PNG or Animation as the QT codec, and then you MUST choose Millions+ (not just Millions) as the color in the setting for that codec.
That will get you a QT movie with included alpha channel and no background.
If you need more details on how to get to those screens just post back.

DVD player doesn't play movies with .avi extension

My friend recently gave me dvds that had movies burnt off the net. They're all files with .avi extensions. When i tried to open the file, it said i needed a higher version of quick time player, which i downloaded off the apple site.
After all this, i still can't play my dvd. What's happening here? The drive also makes these weird noises, like there's something seriously going wrong with the dvd. I tried playing it through dvd player on my mac book pro, but i couldn't open any file on it. It keeps sayin " NOT PERMITTED" . Funny part is, my friend could easily watch all these movies on his windows xp computer...
Please helppp !!!

I think it is unforgivable a DVD player won't play DVD's that are not actually DVD's at all but data disks. I am still mad my DVD player will not paint my house.
Windows uses the one size fits all WM Player and it plays DVD and data disks or files etc.
Use Quicktime and Perian (free) to play those pesky files either from the DVD or from a drag and drop to the desktop first.

HT4642 how do I save with file extensions in 09.

Numbers 08 had a check box to save a file with the extension (it didn't always work when saving to pdf) but 09 doesn't save the file with the extension (.numbers) by default and doesn't have an option to save .pdf when saving as a pdf. Is there a way to change this or is it not necessary? I'm worried that some clients with older versions may not be able to open the file without the extension.

Hello blinkless,
Numbers is capable of exporting to a variety of different formats (each with the appropriate extension).
Export in PDF, Excel, CSV, or Numbers ’09 file formats
Choose File > Export To > [file format] (from the File menu at the top of your computer screen).
Save a spreadsheet in another format

Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

Smart folders with file extensions

I'm trying to create a SF including a couple different file extensions but as soon as add the 2nd file type the search goes empty in finder.....
i want avi, mp4, and flv files in there......

You want to see them all, so you need a logical 'OR' between the file extensions you're seeking.
In the Search Criteria, use Name, Contains, and then enter _.avi OR .mp4 OR .flv_
If you've been trying to do it by adding another criteria with the 'plus' button on the right, then you're using a logical 'AND', and obviously the files should not have two or three file extensions.

Adobe software with file extensions

I am wondering if there is a chart or some website you can drive me to that would tell me what programs you would use an image for and what images would open in that program. For example -
Indesign - Opens jpg, psd, pdf files - Can use for flyers, posters
Photoshop - Opens jpg, pdf files - Used to enhance photos
We make alot of inhouse material for parents and kids and have a logo folder full of different file extensions. No one knows how or where to use them properly. If there is some type of cheat sheet we can have to use around the office so we know what types of files can be used in spefic prgrams that would be very helpful!!
Thanks,
Jason

Try a Google search for "import and export formats <application's name>," "compatible file formats <application's name>," " compatible file formats," and similar terms without quotes.

Adobe install does not assiocate programs with file extensions

Adobe CS4 was installed then Adobe CS5.5 was installed, Adobe CS4 was then removed. Now I have noticed that some of the workstations are having file association problems, specifically with Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
The file extensions .pst, .indd. (to name a few) are not associating with the appropriate programs. You can open these files while in the appropate programs, but I cannot double click on the files to open up the program. I've researched this issue and it seems that the following is happening:
1. The progID file path for the program is still pointing to CS4
2. The file extension has not been updated to reflect that it belongs to the appropriate program
3. The following error comes up "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in the window registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?
This has happened on 3 different workstations, the fix I found for error 1 is to dive into the registry and update the progID with Adobe CS5.5's new file path.
To fix Error 2 and 3 Adobe CS5.5 needed to be uninstalled, then a registry sweet of the unused extensions and the old registry entries using Ccleaner, then a reinstall of Adobe CS5.5. After all of this everything is working perfectly.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so what were your solutions to these issues? Is there a patch or a hotfix or an update I can push out to multiple machines so I don't have to do this on a per machine instance?

You have to uninstall the current version of CS and then install the new version of CS in order to keep these file extensions from breaking. It's as simple as that, if you are having issues with Photoshop not showing up then it's due to the file path still pointing to the old version of Photoshop. You need to go into the registry in order to fix this.
Go to the following:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\photoshop\shell\open\command
Than change it to the current file path for CS5.5 and that should enable Photoshop to show up in the open with menu in windows.
For example:
This is the old file path in the registry
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\photoshop.exe
This is what it should be changed to in order for open with to work
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\photoshop.exe
After you do this it should work, but this is kind of a bandaid in order to get photoshop to work in windows open with menu

Clicking on PDF files on the internet does not download with file extension

When I click on a PDF link it downloads the file but does not save it as a ".pdf" file extension. When using the "save as" function in mozilla the ".pdf" file extension is included.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Using QuickTime Pro for windows and getting no sound on my exported movies. Won't even give me the option of adjusting the sound on options then movie settings. Any ideas? Thanks...

QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
MPEG Streamclip (free) can.
