Rendering mov files! Help!
I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem but don't know what else to do.
I have a bunch of mov files that I would like to edit on FCP but whenever I put them into the timelines they require rendering (before I even edit them!) And rendering each file is not an option because I have 100s of files and they each take about 30 minutes to render.
Why is FCP not letting me watch any of the files before they are rendered?
I also made sure the sequence is on the same settings and the clips but that didn't seem to fix anything.
any help will be appreciated.
So I was trying this for MONTHS and couldn't get the clips to work properly. Right after I posted the message I decided to try one more time...and it worked! I changed the setting of the timeline and this time when I put my clip in the timeline I didn't have to render it and was able to edit some clips I've been trying to edit since December!
Thanks guys

AE CS5 only see black when playing a rendered mov file in QT
AE CS5 Mac 10.6: After rendering a movie as Render:Best Settings / Output:Lossless I get an mov file (quite large, 193MB) - awesome thats what needs to happen. Now upon viewing that mov file within QT, I get the timer (8 seconds) and the playhead scrolls those 8 seconds, yet I see nothing - only darkness and utter black. Now on the flip: when I render this same file as Best Settings / H.264 and play the mp4 wha lah you get a smooth playing video. Downside, this file needs to be uncompressed and at the highest quality and playable in QT (a mov). Is the file too large for my machine to handle playing? Is this another QT vs AE bug? Anyone please, input is as alway greatly appreciated. Oh, 1 more piece of the puzzle: Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widesceen (1.21). This is a file to be played on an LED arena ribbon...
Thanks> Is there a codec missing from my AE?
That wouldn't cause the file to play fine in some places and not elsewhere.
This is a gigantic file in terms of horizontal pixel dimensions, and the data rate is quite large, too (nearly 200MB for only 8 seconds). I suspect some combination of QuickTime Player and the computer on which you're trying to play it (e.g., slow hard disks).
Does it really matter whether this can play in QuickTime Player? We've seen that it plays in post-production software. Has the client tried playing it in the way that it will actually be played/used---i.e., on the LED screen at the arena?
And, again, are you and they really sure that this huge losslessly compressed format is what is required? As I said before, this is very much not the kind of format that is intended for playback and distribution. Uncompressed files and files compressed with Animation are intended for purposes like use as intermediate files in post-production, not playback. -
FCPX renders .mov files to AppleProRes to create multicam clip
I use two .mov files to create multicam clip. During this operation FCPX renders these .mov files and create Apple PreRes files that are10x larger.
Question: Can I create multicam clip without re-rendering? I understand that it is easier to edit using these large files, but I can edit single clip using original .mov file, so, it is not mandatory.It optimizes the files. Switch this function off in Playback preferences.

Rendering .mov file takes 2 hours?!
Hello. I am new to using Final Cut Express. I tried adding a .mov video file I have to my timeline, did so easily. Then, in order to preview it, I had to render it. When I began the rendering process, it said it would take 2 hours to render my roughly 3 minute long clip. Does anyone know why this might be? I asked around and was told it takes roughly 2 minutes to render individual clips. I experimented by placing a significant larger video file in the project and it rendered quickly, as well as various file formats. All worked fine. I'm wondering if maybe it has to do with the framerate or proportion of the .mov video file? If so, how do I change/check these properties? Please help me! Thanks.
The codec is there. Compressor. Why don't you just give everything it says. The low frame rate means there's a lot of interpolation going on to get it up to 29.97 or 25 fps.
The material is really not suitable for production, especially with FCE. It's too small for HD, and too big for SD, which anyway compresses the media a lot to conform to DV. The HD codec Apple Intermediate is better, but the video is too small for even the smallest standard sized video.
FCP is resolution independent and also works with more codec that would be useful for this media. Though this depends on where you're trying to get to and what you want to do with the video once you've finished editing it. How do you need to deliver it? -
Premiere Pro CS5.5 importing .MOV files help!
Hi, I have been using this software for quite a while now but this problem has only just started occuring.
When I import video files from either my iPhone 4s or Ipad3 into PPro the monitor preview screen goes green, but when I insert the video file onto the timeline I can hear the audio but the video file itself is just showing green.
When I open the exact same file with WMP, VLC player, FLV player quicktime and so on it is perfect but this only happens when I import into PPro CS5.5.
I also have a handheld HD video camera which records in .MOV format and when I import those files into PPro it works just fine, so it is only the iPhone and iPad files that it does not like!
I'm assuming this is a codec issue?
Please can someone help as this is driving me insane!
Many thanks
Dan
P.S, this has only just started happening, I have been importing iPad and iPhone video files into PPro for ages with no problems whatsoeva, I am not aware that I have deleted anything like codecs or anything that would make this start happening. Very strange!>assuming this is a codec issue
Maybe... or maybe a Windows update changed "something" that has made your graphic adapter cause problems
So... ATI or nVidia, and EXACT driver version... and, for either, have you gone to the vendor site (NOT Windows Update) to see if there is a newer driver?
nVidia Driver Updates http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
IF you have nVidia... How to determine your nVidia driver version

CS4 Media Encoder Crash after rendering - two files, help?
I'm not a professional so I would appreciate any advice you can offer. I was encoding a WMV HD video (edited in Premiere Pro from CS4) that was just under 2 hours long. On an i7-920 with 9GB of RAM, it took just over 16 hours. At the end of the encoding, the Media Encoder bar displayed 0:00:00 time left. But it then froze at that point for about 30 minutes. Then the program crashed. I planned to take these WMV files and put them, via Encore, onto a dual-layer DVD with a few other special feature-related videos.
I now have two versions of the file in the destination folder, one that has the title I gave it and another that has a "._00_" before the title. Both files are .wmv files and the one with the normal name is 6.64 GB whereas the one with the ._00_ before the name is 6.60 GB. Both have problems if I try to play them beyond the 60% or so point.
Is there a way to salvage these files without another 16 hour render?
How long should I expect, on a normal/successful render, for Media Encoder to continue to process the file after the countdown reaches 0:00:00?
Thanks. Any advice for this very untrained editor would be appreciated.On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
I cant even
If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away. -
Hello,
I just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and I discovered that cs5 won´t let me render anything that has to do with the quicktime codec. I tried to render some h.265 mov files but seconds after I started the render I got a error message (error code: -1610153464), after that failed attemped to render a mov cs5 refuses to read any mov files in my project or and refused to import other mov files so that I had to restart the program. I get a message saying that the "MooV" file is probably damaged. I tried every mov. codec and a lot of mov. files I got, to exclude the chance that it has to do with one of my mov. files I used. CS4 has absolutely no problems reading the same files or rendering mov files. Rendering avis, tiff-sequences etc. in cs5 works fine.
I already tried to reinstall cs5, but still got the error message.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?
When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

Using FCE 4 to edit mov file. Added 8 chapter markers by double tap M, enter title, click add chapter marker. Rendered and 4 of the chapter markers are skipped or not functioning. Deleting FCE prefs and rebuild project did not solve. Solution anyone?
Thanks for taking a look, I am pretty new on a Mac, is this the data you need?

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped! -
If I buy quicktime 7 pro, will it help me load h.264 encoded .mov files in PREL13?
Presently in PREL13, when I attempt to playback any of a group of about 100 video clips all encoded with h.264 in a qt.mov container, they skip or halt, initially the video, then the audio as well. Rendering does not help. I installed the latest version of regular QuickTime, and the video play is the same. I don't need to do any extremely complicated editing here, but I can't really do any if I can't reliably determine start and end points, or really establish video content at all. I cannot pause or seek or really anything. It's possible that my old slow computer just can't hang. Video plays acceptably in QT regular player, seekable, pause/play works fine.
Will there be any advantage to buying the pro version? What would my work flow look like? Could I skip intermediary file steps and work from the original video files?So unfortunately, I don't know the camera settings.
I only bought quicktime because I thought it would help me work with these videos.
Back to your initial questions shortly. In that regard, what is the file extension of these 100 videos...mov or qt?
The file extension is .mov. I didn't entirely follow the other stuff. As I said, the two programs are reporting different information about the same file.
Additionally, I can report what MediaInfo says about the same file (which seems a little more comprehensive, including for instance that it was shot on a canon, in AVCHD 1080i60:

Hi,
From recommendations in earlier posts, I downloaded MPEG Streamclip to convert VOB files on a DVD to import into FCE, but it doesn't seem to be converting them to QT movies. the file shows up on my desktop but when i try to open it is says, "this files is not a movie file." hummmm?
Also, other .mov files that i have successfully imported into FCE cannot be seen in RT and must be rendered. this is annoying because then i have to re-render when making adjustments to transitions and such. why is this? can i get around this? what is the difference between QT .mov files and footage i bring into FCE directly from mini DVs?
any help is appreciated!You're not converting the file properly. You should read the MPEG Streamclip documentation.
The files imported into FCE that need to be rendered are probably not in a format that's supported by FCE. Get item properties for the clips and see what the specifications are. They have to match the sequence properties in every respect. -
Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files
Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks -
I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!
I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road. -

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help
It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
