Quicktime suddenly won't export to .FLV

I've been using QTPro to export .mov files to .flv for my website, but suddenly when I go to export a .mov, the .flv option is gone. I tried reinstalling QT, then repaired permissions, but still the .flv option is missing from the File>Export menu.
Is it possible to download the .flv component somewhere, or is there a way to fix whatever might have become corrupted? The only thing that could be the culprit is if there was a QT software update in the last 2 weeks or so... otherwise nothing on my system has changed.

YOu know what, it must be a corrupted Flash component then... although a web-programmer friend just told me something really interesting: because Flash can read mp4 files, I actually don't need to convert the .mov to .flv for my website to be able to read it: I can just convert the .mov to .mp4 and upload that, and it'll work the same way! Who knew? Brilliant workaround!
Marked as solved!

InD suddenly won't export to pdf

I've been exporting files to pdf all day to send to my printer, and suddenly InDesign won't export anymore. Pop ups open as usual, but nothing happens.Grrrrrrr!!

Are you patched to 7.0.4?
Is the export hanging in the background, or is a file supposedly created, but non-exisitent? Have you opened the Background Tasks panel to see if the task is completing?
Can you export in the foreground by putting the file in a Book?

QuickTime video won't export to iMovie

I've been working on an iMovie project which is a series of screen capture recordings from QuickTime; the first two imported from my desktop perfectly fine and are now ready to edit in a new project, but suddenly I try to add a third and it simply won't appear. I go to File>Import>Movies and select the movie from my desktop, same as the previous two, and as usual the progress bar appears. It's a fairly long recording, so the exporting process claims to take an hour or two...the problem is, once the progress bar vanishes, nothing has uploaded/exported...the event/import library remains empty. I have tried this 3 times now, the same results each time (I've turned off auto shut down/energy saver temporarily to make sure nothing's interrupted).
I tried exporting the video to iMovie directly from QuickTime (File>Export To>iMovie). A progress bar appears but gets stuck in its initial loading window and never actually starts exporting...what could the problem be?? It may be worth noting my computer is beginning to "run low" on space, but I've received no notifications telling me my disk is completely full or anything like that. Would space restrictions cause these random malfunctions of import/exports...? Anything would help!! Thank you!

Hi
alt to Export back to Camera.
• Just set Camera in VTR/Play mode
• In iMovie Pref set "Playback via Camera"
• New tape and record
• In iMovie just press Play
I do this more often.
Deleting iMovie Pref file moght help
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk 25Gb or more ?
General answer:
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
Barry

Thank you both for the input.
I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
Much appreciated.
Barry

Is the problem limited to a specific file that you're exporting?

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

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

Hi all
Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
Cheers,
Stuart

Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

I have update to FCP7 and now I can't export as FLV

Hi,
First sorry for my bad English, this is not my mother tongue.
My problem is the next,
In my PowerMac with FCP6, Flash8 Video Encoder, Flash8 and Quicktime Pro 7, I use to export without problem from FCP as FLV by File / using Quicktime conversion...
Now with my new MacPro with FC Studio (FCP7, etc) and with the upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite Master collection, I can't export as FLV directly from FCP.
Please do I need something else?
Export my videos to FLV files is something that I have to do all the time, almost the 90% of my production finish as FLV.
Any idea, plugin, codec or something??
Many thanks in advance

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP 7.
I exported (with current settings) from Motion 5 now i can't view my movie with QT Player an FCP
won't recognize it.
That's the message I get ?
I'm running Mac OSX but still on FCP 7 (upgrading to FCP X is NOT an option)
Thanks a lot for any sugestions
luxbud

Thanks TOny
i think it was just a problem during the export. i tried a second time and it just worked fine

Error code = -32766 when trying to export to flv

I get that error when trying to export to flv using iMovie 08, any idea why I am getting this error?

iMovie 7 allows export to YouTube accounts that would generate a .flv file but I believe that conversion to Flash is still handled by the YouTube upload.
Long ago Macromedia (now Adobe) offered a Flash Exporter that, when installed, added the option to export to Flash Video from any QuickTime aware application. You may have moved that old component from a previous install to a newer machine.
I don't think it has ever been updated to run native on Intel Macs so you would need to run the app under Rosetta.

HELP!!! Quicktime Pro crashes when exporting

I've had no problems until today. All of a sudden, when I export a movie from quicktime, it crashes when I click on "settings" of the codec. So I basically open the file, go to "File>Export" and click on "Options". I then click on "Settings" and boom...quicktime disappears with your usual windows error sound. Like I said, I've had no problems up till today so I don't know what I could of done to cause this. I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.2 on Windows XP Pro 64bit. I've tried uninstalling it and tried older versions...nothing seems to work. My Sorenson Squeeze software also will not load quicktimes which I believe is related to this problem. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you are having the same problem but I'm glad its just not me. I seriously don't know what I could have done to cause this. Some sort of bug or virus going around? I've heard of quicktime being hacked in the past by a worm which causes it to crash so I'm wondering if that's what's happening. It does suck you can't really call Apple about it.
Its becoming increasingly difficult these days to talk to a human about technical issues. If you do get one on the phone, its some support person getting paid min. wage who just puts you on hold forever as they look up your problem in a generic list of "help" files. I don't want knowledge base support...I want one on one support with a trained programmer who knows how to fix your problems!

FCP6 adds 20 extra seconds when exporting to .FLV

When I export a FCP6 project to .flv (File> Export> Using quicktime conversion and Format: Flash Video (FLV))it automatical adds 20 extra seconds to the end, showing the last frame, before the movie stops.
How can I avoid this?

Hi Ken,
IMHO the FLV component is cr*p. Look at the version number. It says something with X... which usually is the moniker for development versions. Come on (M)A(cro)dobe.
Btw. is it Flash CS3?
So, try the following:
Export your timeline as a self-contained QuickTime-Movie (File > Export > QuickTime Movie, then Checkbox: Make Movie self-contained).
Then use the standalone Flash video encoder application (in /Applications folder).
If that doesn't work either, you could also try 3rd party apps:
VisualHub - http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Flix Encoder Standard - http://www.on2.com/products/flix/flix-standard/
The latter supports Flash 8 (better quality VP6 codec). Both are reasonably priced ($23, $39) and have demo versions available.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Oliver
