Quicktime only exports audio in Lion

I have just upgraded to Lion and I can no longer get Quicktime to export video. When I select Export>Format>480p (for example) only the audio will export. What's goign on? Is there a fix for this?

What version are you using?
I was using QT 7 Pro version 7.6.6 as indicated by the ability to select different video compression formats as stated above.
As far as I know, there is only one QuickTime version available for OS X Lion, Version 10.1. It is the program that came with the new OS X Lion.
If you had QT 7 Pro installed on your Snow Leopard system at the time it was upgraded to Lion, then it would still be there after the upgrade. In addition, users can install the QT 7 Player to Lion after upgrading and key it for QT 7 Pro use if they so desire.
I was capable of exporting video and sound in Snow Leopard. Here is the flow process: In OS X Lion, open a .mov file. Go to File then Export. At the bottom of the dialog box it says Format. You can choose 480p, 720p, 1080p, then a line, then iPod..., Ipad..., Mac & PC, then a line, then Audio Only. These are the presets.
You still should be able to do so. I just ran four additional tests using four of the QT X "presets" at random. All successfully created an H.264/AAC file with playing video.
I'm not sure you are using the same version of QuickTime or the same OS if you do not see these things. At any rate, no matter the selection I choose, the only output I receive is an audio file. I think there is a bug in the new QuickTime.
I wasn't. That is why I asked which you were using so I could try and duplicate your work flow. Since I have no problem converting files, it does not sound like a bug—rather a bad software install or a conflict between the QT Player X and some third-party app you have installed on your system which I don't. However, you still have not indicated what video compression format was used in the source file. WMV for instance would be playback compatible if you had the free Flip4Mac player codec component installed but not conversion compatible without paying a minimum of $29 for the WMV "import" codec.

Why does quicktime only export audio

Why does Quicktime only export audio when exporting .mov files? I used to do it all the time with this same version. Now it doesn't work. I see a lot of other posts asking the same question and no answers.

MOV files are audio and/or video content wrapped in an MOV file container. The first step in solving your problem would be to determine what codec components were used to create the source files and then determine if they are still supported by you current system configutation and/or conversion work flow.

Can QuickTime X Exporting Audio Only???

Can QuickTime X export audio like QuickTimePro did (.aiff, .aac, etc.) ?
QuickTime X has the same ability to record audio but seems to only alllow me to save it as a .mov or a .mp4 file. What gives!

Use the QuickTime Player Pro app (Utilities folder) for those conversions (exports).

Media Encoder/After Effects CC 2014 Only Export Audio

I've been having a strange problem with Media Encoder CC 2014 & After Effects CC 2014. If I try to export a comp either through Media Encoder or directly from the After Effects Render Queue then it only exports audio. If I bring the AE Comp into Premiere and export from there either by sending it to Media Encoder or exporting it directly from Premiere then it exports fine and gives me audio and video.

Quicktime X Exporting Audio only - No Video

Hello,
Any MOV file I brought into Quicktime X I used to able to export to 720p, 1080p or 420p to
a nicely encoded, universal H.264 Quicktime file.
Now, when I try and export, it makes a small audio file and no video. The codec I'm encoding from is 'Animation'...should be easy..?
Any ideas?
thanks,
Dan

I'm having the same problem. Exporting as a 720 or a 480 from a 1080 only makes audio files. It used to work great under Snow Leopard.
Even the Export for the Web/Broadband only ends up making audio-only .mov file
I rolled back to my old copy of QuickTime 7 pro and was able to export a 720 and a 480, though you have to wade through a lot more codec options...

Media encoder only exports audio

been all up and down the forum, looking for answers. my original problem was i was getting the "source not found error". This was solved by creating and renaming a shortcut and placing it in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink. Although when i installed PR it installed in my Program files(x86). dont know if that would make a difference. Anyway now it will try to encode but it only encodes and exports the audio. when i go to the settings on what is encoded it wont show a preview and the video check box is grayed out. just trying to a simple 10 sec mixdown with a microsoft avi, ntsc dv codec. ive done all the updates got SP 2 so forth. any further suggestion??
im running windows vista 64

If the Video button is greyed out, that suggests there is no video to be included, or you've chosen an audio only export option. Look to solve along those lines.

FCPX is only exporting audio not audio and video

Finished shared file (QT) is audio with a black video although settings in share are audio and video. Video is 90 minutes long, Have tried both H.264 and source - Apple ProRes 422

There has been a similar situation in a recent thread, where it was found that sometimes FCP X 10.0.8 did not honor the export settings regarding video/audio, video only or audio only and it kept using the previous setting unless something else also changed.
Apparently one workaround is to make some other changes to the project, or to change the export format (say to h264 and then back, if you were exporting Prores, or viceversa), and try again.

Quicktime only playing audio

Downloaded some videos from my gfriends video camera & all QT plays is the audio. Tells me that I may not have the components needed to play videos. They are .mov files. She has a newer mac & they play on hers. I downloaded the latest version of QT and it still only plays the audio.
Info tells me that the codecs are MPEG-2 SD Camcorder, Integer (Little Endian), Timecode.
I'm lost on what to do.

Dear KQK, I'm running Quicktime 7.5.5 and I don't get any sound when playing back some of my AVI files I downloaded from a file sharing network. About 1 in 10 has no sound. If you can help me with this problem, I will gladly buy your PDF file about Quicktime. Godspeed

Quicktime not exporting audio

I have Quicktime Pro 7 and when I try to export a quicktime clip (to one that my iPod can read which is an iTunes m4v file) it exports my video, but there is no audio.... what do I do?

If you source file is muxed (e,g., MPEG1), then this is normal. Try using an MPEG based application like MPEG StreamClip.

Quicktime only plays audio from video files!

When looking at quicktime files, such as on Apple Trailers, HD files work, but the standard ones won't play, just the audio. There isn't even a blank screen or anything, just the audio bar!
How can I fix this problem?

Some fixed it by reinstalling the latest Flash Player 9.0 r47

Can't Export Audio

Hey all, so I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.3, I can export video no problem, but when it comes to exporting audio, FCP will export the whole track (approx. 35 min.) but there will only be about 1 min of the audio at the begining, after that its 34 min of blank track. I'm trying to export to .aiff. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks. JCV

The only thing i can think of is make sure you have no 'in' & 'out' points marked on the timeline... if you do, FCP will only export audio between those points...

Can you export audio tracks as AIFF? I dont get it!

I recorded some audio narration tracks and I am trying to export just the tracks one by one into an audio editing program.
Can you only export audio files to iTunes??????
Is there a way to export the files as normal audio files?
Thank you!

Ok, will do. Thanks!!!
So they don't let you set your own sample rates and such. That is pretty darn lame. Very limited control.

Quicktime not play video only Audio with Lion

I am trying to watch avi file through Quicktime the I only get audio and no video after Lion installed.
I downloaded Perian again
Whats the problem?

There seems to be an issue with the version of Quicktime X (10.1) in Lion and Perian version 1.2.3.
The are several options in terms of other media players (VLC, MPlayerX, RealPlayer [ugh…], and others…) that will handle FLV files with ease. Alternatively, you could run your video files through an encoder (HandBrake, MPEG Streamclip, SmartConverter, etc.) converting the files into something QuickTime naturally understands like an MP4 or MOV.
But, you were probably happy when everything just worked with the QuickTime / Perian dynamic duo and just want it the way it was. It seems the best way to make this happen, is to go back to using Perian 1.2.2, for the moment anyway. Seems to do the trick for anyone with this problem, so…
1. Remove Perian 1.2.3 from the system.
Quit all your apps, expecially QuickTime. Open System Preferences and click on Perian. You're looking for the "Remove Perian" button; just click and if it asks, type your password. Next, back to the main System Preferences screen where you right-click(or control-click) on the Perian icon. A menu pops up with the choice to remove the Preference Pane. Click on it and Perian is officially uninstalled.
2. Restart the computer
Probably overkill, but better than having to repeat the process because you didn't.
3. Download and install Perian 1.2.2
Get it here: http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.2.2.dmg , or here:http://www.videohelp.com/download/Perian_1.2.2.dmg
Once its downloaded mount the disk image, but proceed with care. Perian will likley try to upgrade itself right after you install it. Best thing to do: disconnect from the net for the install process. Then as usual double-click the "Perian.prefpane" file, choose who you'd like to install it for, and enter your password as needed. Finally, right before reconnecting your machine to the world, uncheck the "Automatically Update" box in the Perian preferences.
Try testing one of the FLVs in QuickTime or QuickLook and with a bit of luck, radio becomes TV.
Oh… and on the off chance it doesn't work and you want to watch some FLVs? Use VLC (http://www.videolan.org), or convert them with HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr).
Good luck!

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

Why do my old QT files only play audio on QT X on Lion system

I have some old NTSC (DV/DVCPRO) videos that play well on my old Leopard system but on my new Lion Macbook Pro, only the audio will play. The video will play from within Finder but when I double click and it launches QT, QT behaves as if its only an audio file. This is true when I try to import into Final Cut X. Final Cut shows it as an audio file BUT 2 of the files DO show video. These are all 720x480 video dumps. So 7 files show as audio files and 2 work correctly. And all work fine under Quicktime 7.7 under Leopard 10.5.8.

Please disregard this posting. I took the old file and ran it thru compressor in a 422 format and now everything works fine and only took about 10 minutes per hour of video. I don't know how to cancel a request and I'm really pressed for time. Thank you.
