Quicktime X Exporting Audio only - No Video

Hello,
Any MOV file I brought into Quicktime X I used to able to export to 720p, 1080p or 420p to
a nicely encoded, universal H.264 Quicktime file.
Now, when I try and export, it makes a small audio file and no video. The codec I'm encoding from is 'Animation'...should be easy..?
Any ideas?
thanks,
Dan

I'm having the same problem. Exporting as a 720 or a 480 from a 1080 only makes audio files. It used to work great under Snow Leopard.
Even the Export for the Web/Broadband only ends up making audio-only .mov file
I rolled back to my old copy of QuickTime 7 pro and was able to export a 720 and a 480, though you have to wade through a lot more codec options...

Can QuickTime X Exporting Audio Only???

Can QuickTime X export audio like QuickTimePro did (.aiff, .aac, etc.) ?
QuickTime X has the same ability to record audio but seems to only alllow me to save it as a .mov or a .mp4 file. What gives!

Use the QuickTime Player Pro app (Utilities folder) for those conversions (exports).

White screen on export - audio only, no video

Hi,
This has happened with a few videos I've tried to export, got a feeling it's to do with the codec, but the Inspector Window in Quicktime Pro shows everything fine:
Format:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
H.264 Decoder, 1280 x 720, Millions
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Macbook Pro and have tried to export a .mov as H264 and mpeg4.
Any ideas of what I can do to find out what's going wrong?
Thanks

What codecs are used in the source file?

Exporting Audio Only

I thought that you used to be able to export audio only from iMovie using share to quicktime with some advanced settings. I don't see that as an option in the new Mavericks iMovie

Seriously ? There are no user selectable options for audio exports?
What the heck is wrong with giving people the ability to accomplish what they want to ITB?
Maybe this is just a marketing tactic to sell compressor to people who might not otherwise need it.
I sincerely hope Apple returns audio export options in the next update.
Bj4mac,
For what it's worth, you should not have been using 44.1 audio in FCPX.
Use one of the apps that Tom mentioned to convert to 48. (or QT pro if you still have that from FCS).
If this is an audio-only task you're attempting, that's all the more reason to use another app.
Good luck

I cannot export audio only as Roles, the render stops midway.

I'm using FCPX 10.1.3
I try to export audio only using Roles. The render just stops midway, it never finishes. What's wrong??
I'm also using X2Pro to generate an AAF file using the same roles. The AAF file comes with errors in the ProTools session. I'm guessing that the same problem that I'm having to share audio using roles is the one messing up the AAF file.
Help please!

JCVela is right.
You don't want to export a master file with multitrack to then do another transcode in compressor. You have to be able to really disable and choose roles for sharing. And still, this doesn't solve the issue of exporting AUDIO ONLY as ROLES. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't.
For me, it is essential to be able to really turn on and off the audio or video of clips using the roles window for any kind of sharing/export whether it is within FCPX or Compressor and that when you do, that the render actually finishes. As it is right now, the roles tool is only a way to mark your clips and to turn them on and off when you're editing. And this is ridiculous.
Another thing: can you select clips using roles? For example, I want to lower the volume of all my clips that have the role of Dialogue, in the same amount for all of them. So far, selecting the dialogue role in the role window the clips get highlighted but I still have to select each one of them individually and manually to do the volume change. So, is there a way to select them all by using roles?

Final Cut HD- Exports Audio only?

Well, I have had the best of luck with Final Cut Express HD- I am not sure why, BUT NOW, everytime I export a video (quicktime or .mpeg4) it only exports the Audio and No video.
I don't think I have have changed any settings, but if I have - how do I change them back? This is killing my business as I make short web videos for auctioneers.
What am I doing wrong- all of a sudden after two years all I can export is audio and no video?

Maybe you have inadvertently selected NONE in the video export options?

Trying to export "Audio only"

I'm running FCE 3.51.
I'm trying to export two audio tracks independently. I disable v1, get the pop-up warning about possibly losing render files. I choose to continue, then repeat for v2, then a1 & a2, a3 & a4. I highlight a5 & a6, then disable a7 & a8.
From the Export sub-menu I choose "For Soundtrack". However, the "Audio Only" in the Include: pull-down is disabled. When I leave the default item "Audio & Video" I end up with a file equal in size to the entire film, but with black screen and no audio.
My goal is an exported file with a5 & a6, then I'll repeat the procedure to generate a different file with a7 & a8, each with a .wav extension.
What am I doing wrong?

False alarm. I got it. Found the detailed instructions in the User's Manual. I should have been using Export for QuickTime Conversion rather than "For Soundtrack".

Audio Only, No Video on QT Pro 7 w MPEG-2 Component.

Hello,
I am having a problem which is described by many others. I have several videos (from my digital TV tuner card) which are MPEG2 video encoded with MPEG1 audio encoding. I've got QT Pro (7.1.5) as well as the MPEG2 playback component. However, when I open MPEG-2 muxed files all I get is audio and a white screen. The files play back perfectly in Windows Media Player.
I'm also curious if this is a install issue with the MPEG2 playback component? When I downloaded the MPEG2 component install file form Apple store and then ran it, the installation screen said "For Quicktime 6". How do I know if the component has been successfully installed?
And I have also tried opening them in Stream Clip but have the same audio-only problem. I've also tried viewing the files in QT's safe mode.
Any help would me much appreciated.

As you have discovered, QT does not support the export of sound from muxed mpeg files. Fortunately, this freeware will export to several formats. It also allows you to do some editing of mpegs without re-encoding if that is desired: Mpeg StreamClip

Video transfer to PC but got audio only, no video.????

hello,
I have a Curve, 8330. I took my first video, a one minute epic. It plays great on the BB. I was able to transfer it to my PC, but I only get audio, no video. I tried both an email transfer and a direct cable connect with ROXIO. It saved as a Quicktime file, but just won't play right. What am I doing wrong? I also tired opening it as a WMP player with the same results; audio but no video.
MDH

Let's be constructive:
BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

How do I export audio only?

I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
Using version 10.1.4
Thanks.

If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
It's VERY quick.
If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.

Audio only, no video, when importing .avi - VP60

I'm trying to make a machinima (Sims 3) and am new to "serious" video editing and Premiere (I have done little projects on Windows Movie Maker and stuff like that before). I'm using the trial version of CS5.5.
My problem is that whenever I try to import .avi clips, they import as audio only and no video. The files open fine in Windows Media Player. The weird thing is that this has only started happening in the middle of my project, after I've already successfully imported and worked with several files recorded in the same way (and so I assume they were the same format).
After researching this issue as much as I've been able to, I downloaded the oft-recommended Gspot utility and took a look at some of the problem files. It says the codec is VP60, but that I already have it installed.
I haven't, to my knowledge, done any kind of converting or compressing of any of the videos before this happened. Another weird thing, though, is that files that imported correctly before are now only importing audio just like the newer ones.
I have tried converting these files to mp4's and other formats, which brings the video back into Premiere, but at a great loss of quality. I've also tried updating/reinstalling Quicktime and even a system restore, all without any luck.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I have a deadline FAST approaching!

This is a distribution format, not intended to be edited, because of the heavy compression. You have several options:
1. Try with consumer editor, like Magix, or WMM.
2. Convert to something editable and accept the quality loss.
3. Get the original, not compressed material from the copyright owner.

Can't export audio only

Any ideas why “Audio Only” is greyed out when I try to export my project? I’ve tried both To QuickTime and to Soundtrack, no avail; could do it using QuickTime Conversion to AIFF, but why not these other ways? I just want to clean up the audio in STPro and bring it back...
Thanks!

No, I’m using FCExpressHD. I already tried pulling out the FCE.plist from my Main Library; didn’t help. But I notice there’s also a FCE.plist in my User Library, along with even more FCE stuff in a folder called Final Cut Express User Data, either Final Cut Express Files or Final Cut Express Configuration Files... Should I trash both plists or any of this other stuff?
Aside: Decided not to upgrade to FCStudio, since I’d already bought and upgraded Motion and STPro before they were locked up inside Studio, and didn’t find FCP 5 compellingly better than FCP HD... Express seems to have what I need and is more usefully tied to iMovie which I have done a LOT of work in, but SoundtrackPro is an essential!
Thanks for your help, Tom (and your cool books!)

In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
Video:
The file is 2:21:29 in length.
720x480
Data rate 1489kbps
Total bitrate 1617kbps
29 frames/second
Audio:
Bit rate 128kbps
Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate 48 kHz
The file is about 1.6Gb
This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
Suggestions?!

How do I capture audio only, no video?

I'm trying to capture an audio cassette, patched RCA/XLR to a Kona Card, to a G5 tower running FCP6. Since I want to capture audio only, I unchecked the video box in the clip settings tab of the LogCapture window. But when I capture now, I get a message saying "This operation could not be completed as there is no video".
How can I capture audio only? Can't turn off the video in Kona ctrl panel, must be in FCP.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, as I mentioned, I did uncheck that video box, after which I got the message 'operation could not be completed as there is no video' (& capture failed). My capture setting is to Kona, but I've also tried Generic, but no luck.
This then led to my first crash course in SoundtrackPro, which is now recording the audio I needed. But I would love to figure out why FCP is not letting me capture audio w/o video, so any further suggestions are appreciated.
