Quicktime pro will not export movies

Last year, after I updated to qt 7.X I and bought the pro key, it would no longer export movies correctly. It was a common problem and the fix was to uninstall it and reainstall 6.X. Since then it has been updated several times and is required for itunes. So, I finally reupdated to 7.X (7.2 as of this morning) and what a surprise, qt 7 still does not export movies correctly. It takes hours to export and then fails. Just like when qt7 first came out. Now, I cant even find the link to uninstall the crap and reinstall 6.X

Ok, let me see if I can clarify some. What I want is for the quicktime pro 7 that I payed for to work. I do not want to have to uninstall it and go back to qt6 (which I already know works properly because I had to resort to reinstalling it once before). Yes, I was irritated that I could not find the link to revert to qk6 as a last resort. But, I would rather not take that last resort. I would like the product I bought to operate correctly. Especially since itunes and other apps will no longer work with qk6. QT7 has been update around half a dozen times since it was released and still does not operate correctly. And I certainly don't want the hassle of reinstalling the entire operating system.
The two problems I am having with qt7 are... (1)It takes hours to export the same files that qt6 used to export in minutes. (2)With qt7, when I export an mp4 video, only quicktime on Macs will play the video. Any other player, even quicktime on windows, can only play the audio. Wmp does not play it at all. This did not happen with qt6. Any player could see the entire movie with no issues. Now, I can avoid the second problem by exporting it as a quicktime movie instead of an mp4, but it is nowhere near as efficient as an mp4. The file sizes with a qt movie are much bigger, yet the quality is much lower. I don't believe I changed any settings that could have caused the mp4s to suddenly stop working correctly on other players.
And i'm currently at work on another computer, so if teh problem doesnt sound familiar to anybody and I cant be helped without knowing the codecs i'm using, I guess i'll have to wait until I get home to look that up. But if you can suggest codecs in the meantime that maybe I have not tried, I could try those while I wait to see if the codecs I am using are wrong.

  • Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...

    I got a new iPod video for Christmas. I downloaded iTunes (7.0.2) and then upgraded to Quicktime Pro using the quicktime installed on my Windows PC (7.1.3). I fired up quicktime and tried to export several different AVI files to ipod format. Every time, it starts the process, shows 'initializing...' and then hangs indefinitely. I noticed my computer is running at around 60% cpu. I've seen this same problem shown in a number of different posts - but no one has found a solution to this problem yet. Since I'm new to quicktime/ipod, I can offer only a very limited viewpoint, but it seems to me based on my experience and the number of other unanswered posts on this same issue, that there may be a bug in the software. I'm really excited about my new ipod video, but I'd enjoy it much more if I could actually get my videos on to it.

    Converting to iPod settings takes a long time.
    Try this as a test:
    View and save any online video (a movie trailer for example).
    Open this file, note it size and time, and export to iPod.
    Time the export so you know how long the conversion takes.
    Multiply this two minute (or whatever) conversion by the time of your AVI and you'll know about how long it will take.
    My Mac and QuickTime converts while I sleep.

    Quicktime on my Mac runs a URL dot mov file.  On My WINXP Quicktime Pro will not.  Anyone know what's wrong.

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
    I did some troubleshooting..
    I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
    Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
    Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
    BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
    So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

  • Premiere pro will not import .mov files

    Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
    Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
    One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • I am running yosemite and I have the latest version of iphoto.  It will not export movies.  Any ideas?

    I have finished editing my slideshow in iPhoto.  It will not export as a movie file.  Any ideas?

    Usual fix: reinstall the app:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • 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

  • After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

    After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • QuickTime Pro will not open .wma (Error #2048)

    I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
    I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...? If so, please treat me like 5 year old and explain to me where to start with that. Or should I just give up on it altogether?
    It is really frustrating... I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute
    Any solutions for this problem will be very much appriciated! Thanks!

    I was afraid of that.. :-(
    Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...

  • Quicktime Pro will not open

    I recently purchased Quicktime Pro v.7 for the PC. After installation I was able to access the program ONCE. Now when I attempt to open the program, it appears to be opening then drops to the bar a the bottom of the screen (minimized). It will not expand / restore, so it's really quite useless. I re-installed it several times, even got a clear download and removed the old file. It simply will not work. I spent what seems like a lifetime looking for help on this site, or (imagine this concept) some sort of actual interactive support option here at Apple.com.
    If anyone can help or knows the secret handshake to actually talk to someone at Apple, please share.
    HP PC   Windows XP  

    Resolved! I used some of the KB info on the Apple site and gleaned that the problem may be with the user identity. Don't know why, and don't really care at this point. What I did was create a new user on my computer, then using that identity, opened QT Pro. It worked! Then, I switched back to the other ID and QT Pro opened for that user as well. (Note the word 'switched' may be related to the message 'switching' on the QT Pro opening window.)
    I hope this works for you too. After I got the app to open for my original identity, I was able to delete the new one and it continues to work fine.
    And finally, yes, I was able to get the app to open by opening a .mov file. Good luck!

  • Help Quicktime Pro will not Activate

    I purchased the full version of Quicktime Pro 7 on December 28th last year, and I wish to reinstall it on a fresh new iMac, but every-time I enter the activation codes and my name (which are exactly as Apple supplied them in the original sale receipt email) it comes back as "Invalid Code"
    I have tried cut and pasting them in, inputting them manually (making sure that the correct case is used) all to no effect.
    It is driving me absolutely nuts, and I cannot find any where to contact Apple for help on this. It would appear that Apple are of the opinion that "...we have the money - sort it out yourself..."
    Can anyone here please help or advise me on this as I am really fed up with it.
    Kind regards
    Drusus

    Sorry I should have explained better.
    The key was purchased for the Mac version on Dec. 28 2005 when I bought my iMac which is a PowerPC version.
    I should have said I was installing it on a freshly formatted iMac (I was having a few problems with Adobe Creative Suite and decided to do a fresh 'erase & Install of OS X on the iMac to help clear out some of the crud that had accrued) and seeing as this is the same machine it was installed on prior to the reinstall of the O/S, it should still work.
    Everything else works just fine, in fact better now that I have done the 'Erase & Install'.
    I cannot find anywhere for the telephone support for Apple in the UK, and even then as I understand I have to pay £35 for the pleasure as it is over 90 since I registered it.
    I cannot say that I think Apples support is very good at all - everywhere I look it just points me back to the Discussions forums.

  • Quicktime Pro will not upgrade on Windows 8.1

    Purchased Quicktime Pro via Apple Store- applied the the registration key and the app reports "invalid registration". Quicktime version 7.7.5.

    Duhhh...needed to change the "registered to" name field- it had previously defaulted to my email address...when I applied my Apple Store ID name, in the "registered to" - the upgrade worked.
    This should be noted in the email with the license key/upgrade sent to the purchaser.

    Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - THANKS!

    First off, in case you haven't already done so, the most basic troubleshooting step: reboot the computer.
    Next, I would start by creating a new project, creating a very simple sequence--like just a Universal Counting Leader or a Bars and Tone--and seeing if that exports successfully. This is just to test whether exporting is completely broken on your system or if the scope of the problem is limited in some way.
    If the minimalist sequence succeeds, then I would use the divide-and-conquer approach to try & isolate what part of your sequence is throwing the exporter a curveball. You can do this several ways:
    disable first all the video tracks, then all the audio tracks
    If there are multiple video +/or audio tracks, then disable one track at a time. Or if you have a lot of tracks, disable half of them, then the other half.
    Use In/Out points to divide in half by time.
    Select all>Remove Effects.
    For all these test, use a copy of the project so you don't run a risk losing any work.
    By this approach, you should be able to zero in on the problem area in a few tests.
    If encoding fails no matter what you do, I'd disable overclocking. I have a rather dim recollection of reports that overclocking introduced problems with exporting.

  • ITunes 10.5 (on Win7 Pro) will not allow movies (.mp4) to be added to the Movie library.

    In the previous release, iTunes 10.4.080, I had no problem with drag & drop of movies (.mp4) from a windows folder to the Movies library.  After installing 10.5 today I have lost the ability to sync my own .mp4 content with my iPad.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Similar problem here, one pc with iTunes 10.4, the other with a fresh install of everything, including iTunes 10.5. My online classes use iTunes U for lectures. They download fine on the 10.4 version but 10.5 does not save them at all. I am now actively searching for a 10.4 install executable......
