Soundbooth CS4 Problem with Quicktime MOV files

I know that Soundbooth CS4 should support Quicktime MOV files but I just get a placeholder image and the video doesn't play. What should I do? I don't know if it is an issue with Quicktime or with Soundbooth.
Thanks,
Bruce

It's probably an incompatible codec in the QT. If the audio isn't AC3 and on a separate track from the video this can happen. There are still a few applications out there that will write the audio into the video track, and QT will still play it that way.
Are you attempting to edit video with Soundbooth?
If you are it's not a good idea.
You really should be using Premiere or Efter Effects to edit video, and leave Soundbooth for audio work.
If you have QT Pro, try extracting the audio from the MOV and save THAT as an MOV of just the audio. SB should have no problem opening that/

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Problem with QuickTime Movies From iMovie HD

I posted this earlier (on the second day of Leopard's Release), and did not get much feedback, and so thought I'd try again after people have had time to run Leopard.
I have some movies that I created using iMovie HD. I have the QuickTime version of the movie for use with Front Row.
On my G5 iMac running Leopard, the quality of the movies on Front Row is fine. However, in Leopard, the quality is lousy. The movies were made from still photos, using the Ken Burns effect. There are also transitions. On the web, on my iWeb site, the pictures take a while to come into focus. I sort of expect this on the web. However, I've found the same thing with the movie files using Front Row on Leopard. Again, this slowness in coming into focus does not appear when playing the movie on Front Row on Tiger on a G5 iMac.
Curious if anyone else has encountered problems/issues with QuickTime movies files from iMovie HD. And if so, what if any fixes are available.
Thanks in advance.
Russell

Hmmmm, so it works OK in Front Row but NOT in Quicktime player? Thats odd. Front Row works worse for me!
It sounds like it may be a rendering problem with Quicktime - It has to process the file in general (or parts of the file, for example, if you export 10 pics looped in Flash, it has to process the 10 image files each time it plays it through, resulting in the first 4 or 5 images to shoot out jerkily [read LAG] unlike the rest of the movie, which is smooth). If these images in your movie are large in file size or contain tons of wacky photoshopped effects, etc, that might be whats causing the problem.
I'd check everything is updated to the latest version, repair permissions on the disk in Disk Utility, and then see if anythings improved.
Hope this helps you.

Problem with the mov file of Nikon D5200

Hello everyone :
I just got some mov files form my friends' Nikon D5200.
At first I was glad that it was MOV file and I don't have to convert them,
but then I found out that when play those video in Final Cut Pro X, the image is choppy and broken.
I snapshot two picture for example:
I then play those video on different software, Like Adobe Premiere, Quicktime Player, Mplayer X....etc. And it was fine.
and I also try to convert those video into another format with FCPX or Compressor, but it still looks choopy.
So, is there anybody can help me with this? Or should I call out to apple company for help?
Here's other details of those videos and my computer :
imac 27" late 2012
Nvidia GTX 680MX
OSX 10.8.3
Those Vidoes are 1080P 59.94P MOV files

Hello:
My fianl Cut Pro Version is the latest 10.0.8.
I was using custom setting, and the setting is base on video itself. (1080P, 54.94 Frame Rate)
And now, here comes a new discover:
When I let FCPX determine the project setting base on the first clip, it didn't change anything, and still remain the FPS to 29.97i, like the picture below:
But the truth is, those media are shot in Frame Rate 59.94, and Premiere will change the frame rate to 54.94 automatically, like the picture below:
But in the premiere, although the graphic is fine, but the speed of playback is very lag.
So i was wondering if it is the file's problem or not. But the QT can play it well, so I just don't know what is wrong....
PS : I was wondering, what is the "first clip" mean? first clip which drags on the timeline? (Like Premiere), or first clips which import to the relative event?
Thank you for you time!

Like most DSLR's the Nikon compresses video to h.264 and there is no reason why FCP should create artifacts from those clips. If the play OK in QT and Pr, then it's not a file problem.
What version of FCP are you using? Did you let FCP determine the project settings based on the first clip, or did you have custom settings?

One mov file plays in Media Viewer on Ext Hd Drv, imported into FCPX it plays 5 sec then goes black. No problem with other mov files.

One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?

Problem with quicktime movie

Hi all,
I am trying to make some first steps with the video editing in photoshop cs6 but I cant make past stage one....getting a file to open properly.
I shot some video on my panasonic gf1. Its a .mov file.
When I look at it in bridge, or open it in PS cs6 it only gives sounds but no image.
I have updated photoshop today.
So I guess I have some settings wrong...
Maybe I had wrong settings in my camera.
What to do?
I can watch the video's with windows mediaplayer.
Thanks for your knowledge,
Greg

Ha, wait!
I solved it myself, by accident. I didnt have quicktime on my computer.
I downloaded it. installed it, restarted my computer, and now it works.

Working With Quicktime .MOV files

I have recorded some footage using Quicktime and I want to import these .mov files to use in FCE. When I play them in the Viewer the footage is out of sync with the audio. It seems the footage is sped up but the audio is normal. How do I set up the sequence/viewer to handle the 29.97fps clips I have generated in Quicktime?

Could you tell us about these high quality clips and how they were generated in QuickTime? Where'd they come from?

Sound problem with QuickTime .dv files exported from iMovie ~ help please

Hi
I have been working for ages on an important project which is intended to wind-up as a numbered edition DVD, limited to 50 copies.
When I worked in iMovie HD 5 this NEW PROBLEM didn't arise: I did what I thought was the right thing and bought iLife '06, then upgraded from the Apple site, so now I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1, iDVD 6.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.0.4.
I've designed my own menus and the procedure as most anyone will know [thanks iCreate magazine!] is...you have to 'export' (or now 'share') the iMovie to QuickTime (or with QuickTime) which produces a .dv file which you then drag-and-drop into iDVD.
I've got 4 of these .dv files for the start-up and some menus.
THE PROBLEM IS whereas the sound (it's actually music) has been faded out (in synch with the image) ~ in iMovie everything seems fine ~ but THE QUICKTIME .dv FILES HAVE AN ANNOYING LITTLE "FLARE-UP" OF MUSIC AT THE END OF THEM.
Imported into iDVD, in preview: sure enough! ~ you hear the annoying, untidy-sounding snips at the end.
It's ruining my project ~ please help, someone!

I am having the exact problem, it's a real show stopper.
I have tested hardware, software, media as below.
Tested on
1 Intel 17inch iMac
2 G4 AGP 450 + 1.2Ghz Model
Each have a fresh install of iLife 06 on
Each have been tested with different project files.
Differnet music files
The issue seems to be with apples iLife software to me.
I am on the phone to apple right now, they only surgest I create a new user as it generates new prefs, but the above test has already rulled out preference files!
Also rebuilding and reinstalling, but again the above test has rulled that out as the 3 machines were freshly built.
I have already upgraded my graphics card in my machine at home to sort out preview problems with iMovie, hopefully it's not going to be an expensive audio card aswell.
If any 1 can throw any light on this please do as apple support can't.
Regards
Paul

Problem with QuickTime movie in YouTube

I uploaded some videos taken with myphone and needed to rotate them, which I did using QT Pro. Looks great. But when I uploaded the video to YouTube it is still the wrong orientation. I spliced three clips together and that worked... just not the rotation. Any suggestions would be GREAT Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go into quicktime, edit-->preferences. Hit the File Types tab. Make sure that quicktime is set as the default movie player for the types of movies you are watching.
See if that helps...

Premiere Pro CS4 - Problems with mpeg2 export file

Hello!
I shoud get export a one videofile (mpeg2 D-10, 4:2:2) with 4 audio channels (two stereo track). Audio must be .wav and PCM. The end result shoud be on channel 1 and 2, which has music, effects and narration. Channels 3 and 4, everything else, but without narration. (tv company wants to change narration language).
The problem is that Premiere Pro cs4 connects two separate stereo tracks to one stereo track when I export mpeg2 file. Another problem is that Premiere Pro does not accept PCM audio if I have any multiplexing setting selected. If I select none multiplexing, audio is seperate from the video file.
I have now about 150 test clips with different settings, nothing works...So, please help me! What shoud I do? Is this possible with Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder? If so, how it can be done?

I don't believe the end result is possible with Premiere Pro alone. You'll have to export out am .m2v file, and two separate .wav files. Then look to other tools to mux them together.

Quicktime .mov files crash multiple applications.

I've been having issues for some time now with quicktime .mov files hard crashing multiple applications. Basically quicktime movies crash Safari and iWeb/iLife when I try and view them. Quicktime player itself quits occasionally, or just doesnt even play the movie. iWeb will crash as well consistently. Bad thing is, that it's a hard crash for me, and there is never even a box stating that it crashed. So I get no opportunity to send a bug report. The applications just quits instantly. nothing in the crash report either. all other movie formats work fine, ie. mpg, avi, wmv.
Firefox can view the same movies fine for some reason.
I can even make a new site in iWeb, add one movie page, drop a movie in, go away from that page creation, then go back to it and the app will crash, with no dialogue boxes whatsoever.
I've tried tossing all quicktime prefs, going back to QT 7.01 then back up to 7.04, no help. My powerbook works fine, and it's on the same level, all OS updates like my G5. If I bring the iWeb file over to the G5, from the powerbook, that I was having no problem editing on the powerbook, it will crash iWeb immediately upon viewing a page with the movie in it.
I'm really close to re-installing teh OS completely, but hoping we find a solutin before then.
I do have a retail Mac Edition Radeon 9800 Pro in this machine, could be issues, but I have found no articles stating such. I also have flip4mac installed. I updated it to the latest, and I do not have any .avi files in my movies folder, so it shoudn't be an issue. This all started happenning around the install of iLife '06 when I first repeatedly noticed it on the movie pages in iWeb. It might have happened earlier, but I wrote it off. It was just really annoying when trying to make iWeb pages with movies.
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) QT_7.04, 7gb, 800gb, Radeon 9800, iSight, MyTV.PVR

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

Lots of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3

There is a lot of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3, for starters when you install it, the shorcuts on the start menu doesn't show the right icon, instead they show the icon like if the path to the desired icon is wrong, and not matter how much you use the repair function on the installer it remains the same.
The plug-in for the internet browser doesn't works neither, you only get the "Plug-in error. The plug-in did not initialise properly" error message.
And what's with the Question mark on every single trailer on this site? it seems they have problems with the mov files on the server or something, like if they aren't complete, kinda odd considering that the HD trailers did open without problem but those ones open a player window since they are too big for a plug-in browser window.
Apple has a lot of work to do for the next version of Quicktime since this one came with a big load of errors, I had to return to the version 7.1 while all this problems get fixed.

from day one i haven't had a problem with installation nor with playback. originally the surround sound didn't work, that was fixed...now however with the recent version the h.264 encoding has downgraded.
the only thing i did different on installation was getting the standalone and not the itunes addition. i didn't uninstall the old one nor did i dig through the registry and mess with the keys. all i did was install and i presume it removed the older installation which is fine because obviously it worked.
why you all are having problems i have no idea. i just want my h.264 encoding quality restored back to the way it was.

I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:

2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%
