Quicktime Pro export trouble

i recently bought quicktime pro (or so i thought) and i cant seem to get any of the special features to work properly.
1) i cannot seem to download quicktime videos from the internet via the small "down arrow" in the bottom corner of the player. i dont have a down arrow to click on. my friend (who has QTpro) went to the same video, and was able to download it. how can i take QT videos off of the internet/ how do i get a "down arrow"?
2) when exporting to ipod or MPEG-4, the movie loses its sound. When setting up to export as an MPEG-4 i go into the settings menu, where i can mess with teh video options, but when i go to the audio options, everything is gray and cannot be accessed. i just want to get a small home movie onto my ipod. (the movie is in MPEG format)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

I'm assuming that you have gone to the QuickTime registration and entered you name and serial numbers, so I really am not sure why you can't save from the internet, unless saving has been disabled. As for the export settings, I believe QuickTime is nable to demux the audio from and mpg and then compress it for your iPod- you really should try to get the original file and compress from there, rather than recompressing the mpg.

Quicktime Pro export does not work

I am trying to export a streaming movie to a MP4 or other to play it on my Ipod touch. The particular movie is located on http://multimedia.slowfood.it/index.php?method=multimedia&action=zoom&id=37
I have experienced this with other movies too:
When saving it from my browser it saves 1 1KB link, which I can play in Quicktime pro.
However exporting it to MP4 results in a 4 MB file, which when played only shows the quicktime logo. Exporting it to one of the other formats does the same. I am new to this. Any ideas?

It's a streaming video. You can't save a streaming video. Streaming videos stay on the sever and aren't cached on your computer. Most videos that you see on the internet are progressive video's. A progressive video can be save to your computer.

Why is my QuickTime Pro exporting image sequences in the wrong order?

I am making timelapse films and using QuickTime Pro to export the images as a movie file. I have all the images in a folder named numericaly. I go file>import image sequence click on the first image and import. The images are in the correct order in the source folder I have also checked the resource files under show movie properties and they are in the correct order there. I then export as a QuickTime movie file at 1080p H.264 the film is stepping and the frames are out of sequence in the eported movie file. Why is this? Has anyone come across this before?

Is there anything else I could try.
Not sure. I would likely test an x264 export of the image sequence from QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip (or from HandBrake if your system is not configured with the x264 codec) and see if the result was any better. This is not a problem I run into very often and, even then, the files were sent to me with no real indication of how they were originally encoded.
Or do you know how I can analise the exported file?
Not really... but it would be nice to have a tool which indicated the current frame type and listed pointers to frames/stacks of frames used for rendering reference.

Custom Quicktime pro export settings for iPhone

I want to custom export from Quicktime Pro, using h.264 in an mpeg4 container with a low data rate (about 400kb) and smaller size (400x220)
It imports into iTunes fine, but won't sync to my iPhone (error message: 'xxx' was not copied to the iPhone 'xxx' because it cannot be played on this iPhone.)
I've tried the Quicktime Pro preset called 'movie to iPhone', and it works fine: the movie copies to my iPhone. The filesize though, is far bigger than I know I can get it down to with custom settings.
I just can't get it to load onto my iPhone.
What am I missing?

You've got Tiger and Automator! Learn how to use them help you make some "presets".
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/
You could also "hack" the .plist files found in the QuickTime Player.app and edit away.
Control-click on the QuickTime Player and choose "Show Package Contents". Inside the resources folder are a number of .plist files for presets. If you have the Developer Tools installed a double click on a .plist should open the Property List Editor. Change the settings to your liking, but beware.
I use Automator as either a "workflow" on a stand alone "application". Workflows can be triggered by a control click on a file where the "apps" act like AppleScript "Droplets". Drag a file to the droplet and let the application do its thing.
QuickTime Pro stores the "Most Recently Used" settings for many exports. These would be easy to re-construct or edit to allow you to create dozens of different "presets". Save each as an application (naming them may be troublesome) using Automator.

Quicktime Pro Export as a Flash File

I have Quicktime Pro, I need to export video as a flash file. Is that possible?
The video was created with my iPhone 4S.
Thanks,

You can use FFmpeg to do this.

Quicktime Pro exporting to WMV -- only exports 30 seconds?

Have 7.6.6 PRO and am exporting to WMV. But I only get 30 seconds of video? Any ideas?

I am having a problem with this as well. In Quicktime Pro, when I try and export a 4:49 length .mov into a .wmv, it will only give me 4.30. Why would it cut me off? At first I thought maybe the machine hic-upped or something during the conversion but I have attempted it several times and no matter what I do, I can only get 4:30 in length.
I have Quick Time Pro and Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro HD and have spent hours going through the FAQ’s and discussion forums on both sites and can’t find anything about a time constraint once you have purchased the “paid” versions......HELP

Saving Quicktime Pro Export Settings

I regularly convert video from one size/bitrate to another using the export function of QTpro.
Is there any way I can save this setting permanently in the export settings menu and call the setting something?
Does this need apple scripting?
Has anyone done it? I'm sure they must have.
Paul

***** that this feature has been removed since it's perfectly obvious and useful to have. As a workaround, if you are a Final Cut Pro user and have Compressor installed, you could set up a preset with custom settings and batch process to a folder of your choice from there.
Also, I'd stumbled on a action script someone had put together for saving most recent settings presets in quicktime pro but don't have a link to provide you. It's definitely out there but might be more complicated to throw together if you don't know or have the time to learn scripting.

Quicktime Pro Export Issue (No Audio Track)

Hello,
After I purchased and installed the MPEG-2 component into Quicktime Pro 7, all of a sudden when I export from one video file format (.MP4) into another (.MOV), there is no audio track exported into the .mov created.
I should add that I installed the MPEG-2 component to view a TIVO-to-go recording that I had been able to strip out of the .tivo shell. Once I played the .mpg file though, no audio track played either. Thoughts? Is there a way to uninstall the MPEG-2 component from Quicktime Pro?
Thanks,
Tim

No audio export.
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to export with audio.

Quicktime Pro - export as mpeg-4 works in iPod Touch but not iPhone 3G

If I use Movie to iPhone / iPhone (cellular) the quality is pretty dismal considering I use the component cable to pipe it out to HDTV.
So, I tried using movie to mpeg-4 as that allows options. However, the resulting video can be transferred over to an iPod Touch (latest hw/fw) but iTunes (latest version) complains the mp4 cannot be played on the iPhone 3G and thus did not transfer the file over.
Any ideas what settings I can use under Movie to MPEG-4 that will work for both iPod Touch and iPhone? I would like resolutions up to 720, 25 fps and at around 768kbits/sec.
Right now I'm using ffmpeg.exe and I do get great quality, but would like to use QuickTime Pro if possible.

I've tried Movie to iPhone but like I said I do watch movies piped out from the iPhone to HDTV via the component cables. I don't recall the bitrate and resolution offhand, but I know it could be better. Also why iPod Touch can take the Movie to MPEG-4 but not iPhone 3G?

Quicktime Pro exports white screen when trying to export to iPod or DV

I'm recording video on a "Flip" video camcorder which plays back great in Quicktime but when I try to convert the files to either DV so I can edit them in iMovie, or convert them so I can watch them on my iPod, I end up with sound but no picture, just a white screen. I've tried some other QT video from other sources and have the same results so I'm guessing that it is not the camera. I thought it might be my settings to I tried other "Export To" settings but I always end up with a white screen. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Add (free) Perian and use (free) MPEG Streamclip to open and export to QT.

Background audio too loud in QuickTime Pro export

I created a movie in QT Pro 7.6.6 with a background audio track and voiceover for each photo. It sounds great in QT Pro, but when I export it (mov and wmv), the background music drowns out the voiceover. I am desperate to finish this for my niece for her dad for Fathers Day. Need to get in the mail today! Any help would be greatly apprciated. Thanks.

Not sure what work flow you were using to change relative volume of individual tracks but suspect any export action would automatically force a "reset" of the audio levels/settings before flattening during export. A better approach would likely be to create the file using GarageBand which allows you to set relative audio levels for each audio track independently and then set the final level of the "master" audio track separately. You can also split and duck individual audio tracks and/or "rubberband" the master track if desired before the final export.

QuickTime Pro Export freezes up. Help!!

I'm trying to export a couple full resolution .mov's to web compatible versions (half-resolution, H.264 Compression, Fast Start). I just upgraded to Pro yesterday (and have QT 7.1.3), and have had several problems...
The movies play back fine when I open them in QTPro. Following the directions in the User's Guide, I go to File>Export. When I click on Options, the Movie Settings dialogue appears. When I move my cursor over the buttons, they light up (like usual in Windows), but if I click them, nothing happens. I cannot toggle the check boxes, and the only thing I can do is change the selection in the "Prepared for Internet Streaming" section. At this point, even clicking "OK" or "Cancel" at the bottom does nothing, and I have to CtrlAltDelete to close QT.
I have also tried skipping the Options button and simply using one of the presets offered by QT in the Save Exported File As dialogue box. I set it to Streaming-Medium and hit Save. At this point the Export Progress box pops up but remains in the "Initializing" state indefinitely until I close it, because it displays no sort of progress in the export whatsoever.
Any idea why QT is freezing up and not allowing me to export?

Hello again
problem is solved. Nothing to do with the MPEG-2 component download. I had moved the QT launch icon from Applications folder to a Video Apps sub folder. All videos could be read OK, but export failed. I moved the QT launch icon back to Applications folder and everything is fine now.

Export dialogue box crashed quicktime pro?

After upgrading our Avid Quicktime exporting is broken.
As per Avid we can only go as high as 7.2 for now but all versions of 7 that I've been able to find and install exhibit the exact same crash: when I select File\Export\Options and open the Settings tab Quicktime just completely goes away.
I can play videos and audio but export is totally broken, which has broken our Avid and Sorenson as well.
Because it's every version of Quicktime that's doing this, I'm thinking the uninstalls I'm attempting aren't quite thorough enough.
Anyone have this problem with the export dialogue?

I found this post in an Avid Forum. It works! (BTW, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 32-Bit)
Ok, behold...I have a fix!!! I actually can't believe I didn't remember this. Ok, so I noticed Firefox crashed when opening a HD QT file. Once I saw this, I immediately remembered that you CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Horay for me! Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

Using Quicktime's "Export for Web" feature in iWeb?

Greetings,
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWeb, that is, to use movies created using Quicktime's "Export to Web" feature, which really seems to deliver superior movie quality?
Much appreciated,
DaveB

Thanks, good stuff, though I'm still having a small problem with this. I'm getting a gray line around the top and left of my movie and the right side of the player is getting cut off. When I try to make the width larger, it just moves the gray line further to the left.
Any ideas?

*This is the script that I added to the html snippet in iWeb.* I changed the height to 505px because it was cutting off the bottom of the player at 496.
