Quicktime Pro not exporting files correctly

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a .mov file using QT Pro 7.16 to either DVI, AVI, or MPEG4. The export process starts, but never moves from %0.
I'm running 32 bit Windows Vista on a Dell 8400 3.0 Ghz P4, 2 GB RAM, and 2 10k RPM SATA drives in a RAID0. I think i should have plenty of hardware to push the export, so maybe someting else is wrong?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

File dimensions could be one issue as exports to AVI using DVCPRO would become 720X480 (letterboxed or 16:9).
Movie to QuickTime Movie would allow you to keep the original dimensions but I don't know if the Windows version of Premiere allows those formats.
It may support the Animation codec (very fast compression) but I don't if it knows about H.264 Video.
I don't really have an answer as I don't use Premiere.

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

Quicktime PRO-RES 422 Files... What is the best format for output in Adobe Premier?

I have recently enrolled on a university film makers course and up until this point i have been a Windows user. At the university everyone uses Final Cut Pro as this seems to be the standard software, at least at my level. My question is this; I have a bunch of Quicktime Pro-Res 422 files and i was wondering what would be the best Adobe Premier preset to export it as, In order to achieve the best quality possible?

You're going to have to clarify this a bit more. Do you have ProRes files you want to edit with in Premiere? If so, you don't need to convert them--as long as you have QT installed, you can edit them, even on a PC.
Or are you saying that you've already edited, and now you want to do a final export for viewing, or for editing elsewhere?

Quicktime will not export .wmv

This started happening last week and i've tried to export .wmv's on a couple of other machines in the office. Quicktime will not export a complete .wmv of any quicktime movie. It will only export about 1/2 to 3/4 of it. Very very strange. Any ideas appreciated. I'm running version 7.4

You need to buy the Pro version of flip4mac to export to wmv. More than likely you have the trial version of flip4mac. The trial version does let you export the whole video. http://www.flip4mac.com/

Muse is not exporting the correct fonts.

I was just about to update my website when I did a browser preview and noticed that two sections are not exporting the correct fonts. The font is not only wrong, but the size is dramatically increased - so much so that it is breaking the design (things that should be one line are now two) so much that I can not update the website until this issue is fixed. The one thing I know is related is that the error is only happening in three boxes that I recently worked with and did change the fonts (all of them typefi fonts) in design mode to look at the differences, but in the end I did not keep any of the changes. I checked and it's the same problem in both Firefox and Chrome. But, it is showing the correct fonts in Muse's preview window. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

You are not the only one having this problem i have a problem now with my system fonts only showing some of the families in that font
atm i can't find my helvetica font in muse but i can see it fine in photoshop, indesign, and illustrator.
its kinda pissing me off cause there is so many bugs atm with muse and fonts. and all we get each time is small ways to get it to work. then a new update comes up for muse and ruins it all again…
they really need to fix this.

Png files not exporting in correct color code

Hey everyone I've had this continual problem in illustrator with png exports, for some reason my png's export with duller, less saturated colors than what I am seeing inside of illustrator. However, my jpegs export correctly. I've been able to figure out that my png's are not exporting with the correct color code (sRGB), even if this option is selected in "save for web" options. I have been having to open the png's in Mac's preview program or opening them into photoshop and exporting with sRGB profile embedded from there. I figure there must be some setting I don't have selected within illustrator. Document color mode is RGB, working space is sRGB, "Color Management Policy" is preserve embeded profile, and under the "Assign Profile" option it is set to working space RGB: sRGB. Any suggestions?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the color management you are using.
I suspect that you are using Illustrator CS6.
Although you can specify that the image has to be converted to sRGB (and it probably does), the profile is not embedded in the file.
The latest CC version does, although you cannot check a box: ICC Profile like you can when saving JPEG.
I think the reasoning behind this could have been: "PNG is a web file format. and Browsers cannot be trusted with colormanagement, most of them think that all files are sRGB, so why embed the profile..."
So you did the right thing by assigning the profile in Photoshop.

Quicktime Pro: When Exporting for Web, how much does it reduce file size?

I'm considering purchasing Quicktime Pro so I can reduce the file size of Quicktime movies so they load quickly to be viewed on my website. Can anyone tell me how much I can expect to be able to reduce the size of a Quicktime file?

I will try some. 50-100 kB for a 4-color PDFs sounds high if any compression at all is used in the graphic. I would suggest that you look a bit at the graphics. They may not be "16-color" graphics (you may have used 4 colors, but the graphic storage would have to be 16 color, 256 color, or millions of colors and I suspect the storage is millions of colors that a lot of scans default to). You could use PhotoShop or simply IrfanView to check the properties of the colors of the images. That would be the first step I would suggest.
Once you have the colors set, then save them as TIFF to minimize loss in the graphic. TIFF has several options for compression and I really can't advise you there. Just select whatever is the default compression. I created a 8.5X11 image with 72dpi and 16 colors, getting a 55 kB file. The corresponding PDF was 60 kB. There is pixelization and such, but that is something for you to test.
Once you you have reasonable graphics, then consider the PDF. As I said, I ended up with a 60 kB PDF. A segment of the PDF is shown below as a JPeg:
When you put the files together, use Save As to finalize the PDF. Working on the graphics first is probably the best way to fix the issue, rather than dealing with the PDF directly. This allows you to clean up the PDFs and be sure that you have the level of colors (not millions, even if you only use 4) etc.

Why can't Quicktime Pro demux MPEG1 files?

After buying QuickTime Pro I discovered that I couldn't convert muxed MPEG1 files without losing the audio. I understand that QTP simply doesn't have that capability and now use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio then I can import the video and demuxed audio file into iMovie and export it from there.
But why can't QTP demux it itself, to begin with? I don't see how a simple freeware app can do it but QTP, which isn't free, can't. I probably wouldn't have bought QTP if they spelled out clearly on the pages about Quicktime that it couldn't do this, just like how they point out the extra MPEG2 plugin you may need.
I don't regret purchasing QTP; I'm just disappointed that I didn't get everything I thought I was paying for, and that I have to take extra steps to convert old video clips.

Mike, it can't edit or convert Real, WMV and a lot of AVI's using some codecs as well. I think it would be a fair question if they ever represented that it could which they don't - in fact they say it will not export audio with muxed MEPG 1 , and 2 files.
It edits "editable" video while MPEG is a delivery format that is not that great to edit even if it is decent enough quality (since there are not actual frames each 1/30th of a second to edit for starters).
MPEG Streamclip is best looked at as not better than QT Pro but an adjunct to help do some file conversions (and with the latest version a LOT of file conversions) to a QT format that you could then use in QT pro to edit, add tracks to and so on. Or to DV for Life/FCE for editing more complex jobs.
This complaint or observation is often heard for iMovie and Final Cut as well and Apple says the same thing, don't use MPEG as source video for these editors - they are not MPEG editors and were not sold as such.

Quicktime Pro Windows export problem

Whenever I try to export a video in Quicktime Pro, I always get "Error -43: A file could not be found."
What is wrong with this thing? I've tried everything I can think of. How do I solve this?
Message was edited by: Richtus

Let's start with some basics:
What version of QuickTime?
What is the format of the original file?
Does that file play, in it's entirety, in QuickTime?
To what format are you attempting to export the video?

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

Quicktime pro reduce size file?

im havin a problem with my quicktime pro....i used a kodak easyshare Z740 to make a movie....the original size of the movie is 243 MB...i cant send a size that big obviously over the internet, so i have edited it down to where it will fit in an email....however, the size it shows being is still 243 MB....i cant get the size of the clip to go down even though it has been edited....does anyone have a solution for this problem????

After you make your edits (cuts I assume) use the
Save As (File menu) and name the new file. This
should create a smaller .mov file without
re-compressing the source.
If your original was 640X480 you can reduce it to
320X240 which should trim 60% from the file size.
Change the frame rate from 30 fps to 15 would also
reduce the size. You make these changes at Export
(not Save As).
if i go to export....where exactly do i reduce the size of the file?

Video conversion using Quicktime Pro (Which Export Settings?)

I tried converting videos (.avi) to .m4v so that I can play them on my iPod Touch. However I am having problems.
iPod Touch documentation says that the following video file formats are supported by iPod touch:
A H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
B MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
My question is:
1. Can anyone show me how can i covert to those format using Quicktime Pro? And please do let me know which exact EXPORT setting I am supposed to use. I used EXPORT> Movie to iPod . It did not seem to work.
Thanks in Advance.

I use it on a 24" iMac C2D running at 2.33GHz with 3GB of RAM, and it's much quicker than a regular QT export and a bit quicker than VisualHub. I won't quote a time to encode a "2 hour movie" because there's a lot more factors involved like resolution and original file encoding but the device is faster than using the twin cores.
No, it won't work with Handbrake, nor VisualHub for that matter. It acts as a plug-in (albeit hardware) for QT and any application that uses QT for export can utilise the turbo.264.
One other (for me big) advantage is that Elgatos own software for using the turbo.264 supports AppleScript and hence Automator.

Quicktime doesn´t export files

Hi..! I have a problem exporting files with Quicktime, for example, from .MPG to .MP4. What happen is that once the file is exported I can see but without the audio. And when I go to options of export it doesn´t let me do anything with the audio. I don´t know why... I have reinstall Quicktime, but the problem persist. Can anybody help me? Thanks
(Sorry, my english is not as good as i want it to be)

QuickTime Pro has never supported audio extraction from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your MPEG-1 files.

QuickTime Pro audio exporting error - help please!

So I've got Perian installed to read 1080p HD movies and I opened up .mkv files in QuickTime Pro and allowed it to read the files into memory (let the grey bar go for a few minutes). Once that was done, I wanted to export the DTS 5.1 surround sound audio track to .AIF format and do a pass through encoding of the video only. After this, I use MAX to convert the .AIF file into an AC3 file which I add back into the video only to create the final .mp4 file with 5.1 sound. I've done this successfully before and I prefer this method to downconverting the 5.1 audio into stereo sound when converting the .mkv to .mp4. This time however, QuickTime Pro miserably failed. I have Avatar in 1080p and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1080p as well and I wanted to convert them to .mp4 the same way I've done before. All of them failed with the same error. When I tried to export the audio, I believe it said, "qtKiterrorcatchall (-1309)" and it failed. It said this for all of the videos and strangely enough, it worked great with another .mkv movie I had perfectly with audio and video tracks in the same formats. Does anyone know how I can fix this and export the audio track so I can preserve the surround sound and put it back into the .mp4 video file? Many thanks...

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get an response or and answer to this problem? Thanks

Quicktime will not export .mov

I upgraded to a new PC today. Windows ultimate 7, 32 GIG Ram, 2x E2640 processors, GTX 640 Ti video card.
I moved all of my Adobe software over to new machine. Repurchased Quictime Pro for this machine.
Noting seems to be able to export a .mov file. I can export .mp4, AVI, MPG, etc. After Effects, Media Endocder, and even Quicktime Pro are all unable to export a .mov. Each one crashes after the first few frames. The Quicktime error code was huge.....
After reading online I have:
    uninstalled and installed Quictime
    Installed an earlier version of quicktime (7.6)
    Uninstalled and updated Adobe Products
    Uninstalled all third party encoders (Avid)
    Disabled all firewalls.
Being able to export.mov is ESSENTIAL to my business. I do video production. Itis a pain inthe ***, but I am currently having to render .avi and go to another machine to export a .mov. My previous workstation had no problems rendering .mov.
Any help would be appreciated. Having a phone number to someone at Apple support would be appreciated. Having support options on your support page for quicktime other than reading hundreds of random archived articles would be appreciated. the support for quicktime on the apple site is ineffective.

Just in from flip4mac support:
The recent release of QuickTime 7.2 created an audio compression error for Flip4Mac WMV Studio, Studio Pro and Studio Pro HD customers. Specifically, when encoding WMV files with Flip4Mac WMV v.2.1.2 using uncompressed audio sources on QuickTime 7.2 systems, customers were receiving "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate" error and the encode will fail. This problem has been resolved with the beta release of Flip4Mac WMV v2.1.33. If you are using QuickTime 7.2, please upgrade to this release at http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_beta.htm
