Quicktime Pro won't play FCPro exported Qtime mov

I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
Have installed some 3rd party Codecs but no joy.
What do you think is the problem?

I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
What audio and video compression formats did you use? Are you trying to play them back on the same computer or a different one?

  • Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

    I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

    You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

  • QuickTime Pro won't play video clip

    I downloaded a video that plays fine in windows media player, but will not play in QuickTime Pro 7.1.3. It only plays a black screen with no sound.

    The FCS 2 license allows you to:
    "install on one desktop and one laptop Apple computer that you own. You may not use the software on both at the same time".
    You don't even need to do that anymore. Apple recently released a standalone ProRes decoder for Mac and PC:

  • Quicktime 10 won't play FCE exported .mov files?

    I have edited several videos using Final Cut Express and exported them as .mov files to my desktop. Now, because I have a small internal hard drive (128GB SSD), I copy all of my raw footage to an external hard drive and then delete the files from my Mac HD. But, I keep the finished videos on my desktop. When I try to play the video while the hard drive is plugged in, QuickTime opens and plays the video just fine. But, when the external hard drive is NOT connected and I try to play the video (from my Mac HD), QuickTime won't open it nor play it. If I absolutely have to, I will carry the external HD around with me so I can play my videos, but I was just wondering if it had to do with the codec (H.264) my OS (10.6.8) QuickTime X or FCE (4.1). Can anybody help me?

    At this point one can only make guesses as to a solution since you have not really provided any useful information.

    For future reference, an MOV file is any compressed data in an MOV file container. Data can be any compression format compatible with the system configuration on which the file was made—to include both Apple QT native compatible codecs and "Pro" app installed codecs to third party codecs like WMV, DivX, XviD, MPEG-2, etc. In order to eliminate codec problems, in the future please indicate the specific codecs involved.

    This would normally be the playback description of a "QT Reference" file. Basically, a reference file is a very small/quickly created file that tells the player to play data that is actually contained in one or more other files. However, since the reference file cannot be played if the main data file(s) are not accessible (i.e., when the external drive is disconnected), you should also be getting an error message telling you it cannot find referenced data and you have yet to confirm this here.

    Once again, since we don't know what form of compression was used or what settings were used, it is impossible to determine if there are any secondary problems to be delt with here. In most cases, a high date rate/low compression format is used for import/editing purposes and the final file is "exported" to a specific compression format depending on its specific target use. In most cases, H.264/AAC is the best compression format for "distibution" since it has a very wide range of settings which allow you to adjust the file size and quality aspects to suit any specific device or target use and to do so as a "standalone" (re-compressed) files which are independent of any data in source/other files.

  • Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

    Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
    (I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

    Courtney,
    There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
    If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  • MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

    Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio.  It's so frustrating!!    
    I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.   
    I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.   
    I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
    Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.  
    As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

    This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
    Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
    QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
    QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
    VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
    VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
    iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
    Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
    As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

  • A/V tweaks made in quicktime pro won't appear when imported to imovie

    I have a file I pulled from the internet, tweaked the sound and color in Quicktime Pro and saved the file (tried both .mov and mp4) but when I try to import file into imovie or export file from Quicktime to imovie the movie file does not have the adjustments I made in Quicktime.
    The file will play the same way as the original I pulled from internet.
    Notes:
    Quicktime will open and play the new file with tweaks as saved.
    I have burned the tweaked Quicktime file to a disk, given it to some to try in their computer and the file plays without the tweaks.
    I would really appreciate any help you may have!
    Thanks!

    The A/V "tweaks" are local to the QT player -- not embedded in the movie file. If you plan to edit in iMovie, make your adjustments in iMovie. If simply converting the content from one compression format to another, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to make such adjustments.

  • Video/Movie won't play when exported as a PDF.

    Hello,
    I am creating an interactive PDF using CS5 to display video work. Unfortunately, the video won't play when exported as an interactive PDF, I am just left with blank space. I find this very odd as it plays in preview and also when exported as a SWF but that file type is unsuitable for the project.
    Initially when I exported it I got this message: "One or more of the interactive elements are clipped in ways the pdf files can't reproduce...." Obviously, I have ensured the file is resized correctly and also tried .mov, .mp4 and also .flv file types with no success. I have also checked the simple things like ensuring all the right boxes are ticked when I export.
    This is not the first time I have embedded video but it is the first time without success despite following the same pattern. Any ideas as to why this would be and how to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Use Flv or f4v format, after you have placed video into your layout, make sure that you don´t scale or crop video frame at all.
    (Whren you File > Place a video, you will have a loaded cursor with video icon. Click the empty spot on page with loaded cursor, don´t draw a rectangle or click on the top of some exisiting frame)
    It´s important that you have your video in 100% encoded size in your layout. If you need to scale or crop it, load that video into Adobe Media Encoder and do it there, and re-encode the video to the correct size and shape aftrwards.
    Adobe Media Encoder ships with InDesign.

  • Quicktime Player won't play avi files all of a sudden

    All of a sudden Quicktime Player won't play my avi files. They worked previously. I could play them with Quicktime 7 with or without Perian. I'm running 10.6.4.
    They'll run fine on my MacBook and I don't have Perian installed on it.
    Any ideas?

    I just uninstalled Flip4Mac and everything is working as it's supposed to. Very strange. Perhaps a conflict with Perian? But then again, QT didn't play the avi files with Perian installed. So, I guess the conflict is with Flip4Mac and something else.
    Thanks anyway

  • My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

    My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

    Download and install
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac  Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion:  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

  • Macbook Air won't play a simple iphone movie ???

    Is it true ?  Is it possible ?  That the latest, greatest macbook air running the latest greatest OSX Lion will not play, preview or in any way let you view a moive sent from an iphone 4s ?    IN other words a regular .mov file no longer plays ?   I have searched high and low,  installed perian, flip for mac, quicktime 7.66  quicktime pro and still nothing ? 

    Yes,  a.mov file no longer plays from iPhoto. I'm on a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. This just happened tonight. I have posted in another forum, also. The file opens in Quicktime if I access it from the finder and not iPhoto. I have not updated iPhoto since the last time it worked  a few weeks ago.

  • Why is Lion so slow?  Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

    Got Lion.  Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes.  I'm frustrated.  Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
    What gives?  Any solutions?  Anyone having similar issues?
    The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

    Lion is much more demanding on memory.  It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised.  SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations.  The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others.  OWC is a good place to look.  Max it out.  I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

  • HT3775 For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in

    For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in .avi!!

    Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
    However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
    Download the free VLC Player from here:
    http://www.videolan.org
    Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

  • Quicktime player won't play iMovie 09 export m4v

    I exported a movie from iMovie 09, produced a .m4v file.
    QuickTime Player 7.6.2(518) with QuickTime 7.6.2(1327) plays this with serious stutters in the playback every few seconds.
    Current VLC and Plex play the file back without any problem.
    Is there some update or plugin I need to fix this?
    Thanks --- Sophie

    I find that with recalcitrant .m4v files, re-exporting from the original base file as an H.264 then renaming the file extension as .m4v so as to fit in with the scripting that is automatically generated when exporting with for the web option results in a larger , but generally more compatible file.
    Might cure some of your blues, plus the .m4v is just Apple's .mp4 and Apple's MPEG4 doesn't seem to have the 'common touch' required, all told
