Quicktime not an option on Sequence settings Video preview

In the sequence settings, under video preview, "Quicktime" is not listed as a Preview File Format.
Running Windows 8.1, 64bit
I have installed the latest Quicktime, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, repaired it, to no avail.
Also I have done the same with Premiere Pro, uninstalling and reinstalling.
Here is a screenshot of the drop-down menu that does not have the Quicktime option.
I have run out of ideas for how to get this to appear, so I came here :/
Thanks in advance!

[Here's the one response from the duplicate thread.]
The Preview format options have always been somewhat limited. Consider this, that the previews should be just that - previews. When you have sufficient effects added to a clip to where it won't play smoothly in the timeline, you might wish to render it to get a better idea how the finished product will look. However, when you do the final export, best to NOT check the box for "Use Previews", since you would then be re-encoding (recompressing) the clip a second time. Better to export right the timeline, encoding straight from the source to final destination, diregarding any render previews you might have made.
Maybe you can elaborate on the intended use or workflow of your desired preview format? I'm a PC user and I think that on the Mac, with FCP, one had the option to render previews as QuickTime and those files could then be stitched together at the end without transoding them again, but not so with Premiere.
You might find that different Sequence Presets will provide different render preview options. 1280x960 is a non-standard format so that could limit your options.

Sequence Settings Video Previews and GPU?

Dear PrP CC Users,
I wanted to get some information partaining to sequence settings.
In the bottom box of Sequence Settings: Video Previews. There are three un/tick boxes:
Maximum Bit Depth
Maximum Render Quality
Composite In Linear Color (requires GPU acceleration or max render quality)
Normally I tick all of them. I have a Windforce GTX 770 4GB CUDA mercury engine enabled. I have also set to Optimise rendering for: Performance.
My questions are as follows.
-Do these selections effect the final output of a timeline for delivery or is it merely for during regular playback and preview rendering?
-Also, when I export using Media Encoder through dynamic link, is it bad to Use Previews for a faster export, often I export to ProRes4444 for Grading, I heard that Preview files will always differ as its created by the GPU and can slightly change the colours dependent on the GPU you have, thus is it better to export and allow it to re-render using the CPU in Media Encoder (I always set maximum bit depth and quality)?
-Lastly, in the export process, when I select Maximum Bit Depth, there are options of the bit depth value (32, 48, 64) does this become redundant since I checked maximum bit depth?
Thank you.

The first two boxes only affect previews. The same boxes in the Export Settings dialog will override those and determine the output.
Using previews for export is generally not a good idea, as doing so will incur an additional compression step. The exception is when the previews are lossless (or nearly so, as with DNxHD).
Not working with ProRes, I've never seen those options.

Sequence Settings - Video Processing question!? AVCHD

I'm using the panasonic HMC40, very similar to the HMC150.
So i'm shooting in AVCHD.
My Sequence Settings are as follow...
1280x720 - HDTV 720p (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio - Square
Quicktime Video Settings Compressor: Apple ProRes422 - quality 100%
('Interlace' and 'Enable 4:4:4 chroma filtering' are NOT selected)
Video Processing
Render in 8-bit YUV
Process Maximum White as: White
Motion Filtering Quality: Normal
now while i'm editing the footage looks good, but when i go to export my video (export - quicktime movie - current settings - recompress all frames NOT selected) i get some weird lines from lights and color changes. almost like the colors aren't blending right.
does this have to do with the Video Processing settings?
what is the best way for setting this up for AVCHD footage to make it as close as possible to the real footage?

The weird lines from lines sounds like a function of cheap camera lenses. All consumer cameras show streaks off bright lights. Not sure what you mean by the colors not blending right, though it sounds like banding, which you often see in low light situations with small chips and heavily compressed formats like AVCHD. A screen shot of what you're talking about would be helpful.

Quicktime not playing Apple ProRes (Proxy) 1080p video - help!

Hey guys I have a Apple ProRes (Proxy) 1080p video sent to me via Firevilla from a friend in the states - which simply says - "will not play - quicktime does not understand the format and may need additional software." All my software updates have been made. Does anyone know if I actually need a specific ad on??!! Or what is going on here!!??
Many Thanks

Because you're using QT 6.5.2 you can't view all QuickTime content. Quite a lot of pages are now using H.264 video and it can't be viewed using 6.5.2.
Try one of my pages to test your browser plug-in and QT version:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/California/index.html
The file is about 3MB's. If it plays correctly your browser and QT version are OK.
The plug-in settings can be found in the QT Control Panel (under MIME settings). You can also check your browser preferences for "helpers".

Quicktime Not allowing me to play Flash Video

This morning, I did something stupid. I pressed ok without reading what was actually going on. Somehow none of my flash videos are playing and in its place is a quicktime Q symbol and a ? mark meaning a missing plug-in. I have flash player installed on my computer and I have gone into the settings for quicktime and unchecked the enable flash player. It has not fixed the problem and I still can't view flash movies. What should I do?

Hi
Go back to the Quicktime>Advanced panel and check Enable Flash. Then, select "mime-settings". In the Miscellaneous Box, uncheck "Flash Media". Close the panels. Restart Safari and try a Flash site.

Quicktime won't open files, Get Info Video Preview crashes finder

When double-clicking any .avi video file, Quicktime attempts to open it, and then returns an error report with "excbadaccess kernprotectionfailure".
VLC will play any of these files perfectly. I want to set up file handling so that VLC always opens .avi files, so I right-click a video file and go to "Get Info," but in that window the Finder tries to generate a preview of the video, and after a second or two crashes the Finder with no error message.
It is very annoying not to be able to double-click video files to open them. How can I get this working?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Any advice would be appreciated.
Mac Mini Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Quicktime 7.0.4

Thank you for the quick reply.
That method works when selecting and then right-clicking individual files or groups of files, but I frequently put new .avi files on the machine, and I have to repeat the process. I was looking for a solution that would make any future .avi files open in VLC with a double click.
Furthermore, once the file has been set to load in VLC and the icon has changed to a VLC icon, selecting Get Info for that file will still unceremoniously crash the Finder. Is there any way to fix the preview in the Get Info window, or at least stop it from crashing the Finder?

FCP 7 crashes when choosing "yes" to changing of sequence settings for Flip

I've been doing quite a bit of work with the Flip HD video camera recently. I grew tired of rendering everything, so decided it was time to finally upgrade from FCP 5 to FCP 7.
However, FCP 7 crashes every time I try to lay down video files from the Flip camera onto a timeline.
Upon laying the files down onto the timeline, I am prompted with the message asking if I want to change the sequence settings to match the video. I click yes and immediately get "General Error" and FCP crashes.
I tried trashing the preferences. same result.
I tried updating FCP 7 to FCP 7.0.1. same result.
I even tried updating fixes for iMovie as if that would have anything to do with it. same result.
I'm currently rendering it out the same way I had been in FCP 5.
Any advice or ideas?

AVC is h.264, which is not a work-able editing format, it's a delivery format (and a consumer video camera acquisition format suitable for holiday videos going straight to YouTube), that's why you've been having to render all the time in FCP 5.
Now you're in FCP 7 and it's asking if you want to change the sequence settings to match the video, but there is no sequence setting to match AVC/h.264 so it's freaking your computer out. Still, it shouldn't crash, but that's the problem i believe.
You need to correct your work-flow by transcoding your media into something usable like ProRes, or you can choose not to change your sequence settings, and render the timeline as you have been doing in the past.

Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

Sequence settings for mixed 24f,30f

I shot a friend's wedding on a HVX in 24p on tape (not cards) and a 2nd camera 30fps on a consumer DV camera. I want to edit these together; I do not know what the Sequence settings should be or what challenges are involved. My final output is a DVD. Any help is appreciated.

24P on tape is still 30 fps. It's 24fps with a 3:2 pulldown added. Just set your sequence for NTSC 29.97 DV...

Video preview does not show a quicktime option

My main videos are going to YouTube and I would like my preview in Premiere Pro CC to be quicktime so I can edit correctly to the format. Under New Sequence Settings it does not give me that option. Is there something I need to manually install?

What platform are you on? QuickTime is available as the Preview File Format [PFF] only on Mac.
In general, the PFF is not critical the final encoded output, but there are a couple exceptions. So I'm interested curious about why you feel it's important to have the PFF match your eventual export format.
Also, my understanding is that the preferred format for YouTube is h.264, not QuickTime. I haven't studied YouTube's recommendations/requirements, but I know for a fact that the format for all YouTube presets is h.264.

Export Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export Quicktime movie?

When you converted the original files via MPEG Streamclip, what did you convert them to?
Have you tried trashing your preferences in FCP? Trashing FCP prefs is usually the first step when FCP is performing strangely.

When creating a new project, the step "new sequence settings" doe not appear automatically, what to do?

Hi there,
I have a question I am doing product videos for a comany they would like me to do this in a format that is 16:9 and in HD. Since they don't know on which channels they want to publish it but it is certain they will publish it on youtube I wanted to do it in the settings HDV and then DVCPROHD 720p24 or even 1080p24. I have bought the license of Premiere online and for some reason I do not have the option in the beginning when I create a new project to change the sequence settings. They do not appear and afterwards I cannot change them. Do you guys have an idea what can be done in order to access this setting before the project ultimately opens?
I'd highly appreciate any kind of help on the matter!
Cheers,
Mascha

"Current" Dimensions on Export not matching Sequence Settings or Clip

I have been trying to export a Sequence using "QuickTime Conversion" with Dimensions set to "Current" but I have a problem. The video clips dimensions are 1920x1080, and the sequence is also set to 1920x1080, as you can see from the screen shots. For some reason, every time I try to export the Sequence with Dimensions set to "Current", it is saying the current dimension is "556x312", see screen shot.
Can anyone tell me why it is doing this??? It is driving me crazy!
One more thing, I was able to export a sequence earlier today that I had NOT sent to Color. The sequence I am now trying to export is one that I sent to Color for some corrections and it is now only letting me export with current dimensions of 56x312 as stated above.
Thanks for your help!
When I Try To Export:
Actual Sequence Settings Showing It Is Set To 1920x1080:
Actual Clip Settings Showing It Is An Actual 1920x1080 File:

I need to do some compression, I need to reduce the file size. I was planning on use h.264. Its the dimensions of the video that I want to match the original/current footage.
