Using quicktime 7.6.9 h264 compression_flicker is introduced

Using quicktime 7.6.9 h264 compression_ a flicker is introduced into one scene in my film -- tried multiple settings, and getting the same issue. Color and brightness shift between frames -- but only in 1 shot/scene.
Using quicktime version 10.1 (exporting file to PC/Mac compression) produces a beautiful picture quality, but it changes my frame rate from (source 23.98 fps) to 23.90 fps!! I would love to keep the frame rate matching my source @ 23.98. I"ve never heard of 23.90 as a frame rate.
Any suggestions on either front would be most appreciated!!!!

hello Jeff and Colin,
thanks for commenting...
would you have any information on the fact that:
"""maybe it's the quick time that's been killing me all along
because (i just remembered this) when i use ccleaner the error logs
are always regarding qt32 stuff?""""
i am away from my desktop station until august 11 so i can't get you actual log files,
but i'm pretty sure what was happening was that PPRO would hang on editing when applying effect (including NEAT VIDEO
(which i know needs a lot of juice)
and then i would kill the process, or i would close PPRO and it wouldn't close in TaskManager,
the funny thing is is that after i'd kill the process and reopen PPRO, the effect would be 'rendered' on the timeline
(even the NEATVIDEO)...
however, it wasn't until being bored that i was really reading everything that CCLEANER was cleaning.
i have it set to clear out the error log files and lo and behold most of the log files were regarding QT32 stuff...
this is why i investigating everything i can about QuicTime's interaction with CS5 5.03...
thanks again for helping,
j
perhaps it's the effects that are crashing QT32???

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2, running Mountain Lion. I use trim then export but it doesn't give the movie option as a format. What would you suggest i do?

I'm not sure why you're using a FAT32 drive, but using ExFAT instead of FAT32 would be a better overall choice as it doesn't have the 4 Gig limit.

How to play MP3s on IPhone without using QuickTime

I listen to a lot of audio lectures that come in an email with a direct link. My phone will automatically open these and play them using QuickTime, but QT doesn't have an option to bookmark. I don't typically finish the full lecture in one sitting so I need to be able to bookmark my place. iTunes will not work for me for this as I am not always able to take the several extra steps necessary to download to my computer and then wait for them to show up on my phone through icloud which sometimes takes days. Always hours. Is there another app that will do this? Audible is a good example of how I would like it to work.

Yes I have, thank you. And google.

HT201290 how to use QuickTime with OS 10.9.5

I would like to watch downloaded files of a TV series which are on my hard drive. However, 4 of the downloaded files will not play using QuickTime. Episodes 5 through 11 are fine. I borrowed an external drive from a friend who downloaded the same and have attached the external drive to my laptop--same problem. I downloaded the previous QuickTime Player but that doesn't help either. Please--any suggestions?

Since it is unlikely that two different people downloading the same files would end up with the same files being corrupted... Were episodes 1-4 encoded using the same compression formats as 5-11? Do episodes 1-4 open in an alternative media player like VLC? What error message, if any, is given for not opening?

I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC. Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB. 1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio. Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community? Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

Can't open any version of iTunes or use quicktime

yesterday i downloaded and installed iTunes 7 (before i knew that there was problems with it). when i opened it massive chunks of my library were missing so i decided to revert back to an earlier version of itunes. removed iTunes 7 and installed iTunes 6.0.5 (think that's the correct number) but it wouldn't open. it comes up with a message saying that iTunes had encountered an unexpected error and needs to close. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of iTunes and rolling back to various system restore points on my computer but i constantly get the same message. I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up with the same message.
HELP!!!

I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up
with the same message.
just doublechecking your precise error message. is it
an "itunes has encountered a problem" message? or is
it something a bit different? if it's different, what
is the precise text? (include error message numbers
if you're getting any.)
i don't know if this will mean anything to you...
Faulting application pictureviewer.exe, version 7.1.3.100, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x63656666.
for some reason the error message i was getting on screen when i tried to open QT isn't coming up now but QT isn't opening either. i got that text from going to control panel>admin tools>event viewer. the text i was getting previously when i tried to open QT was "quicktime has encountered an unexpected error and needs to close" (or something v similar).

Problem Exporting for Web files created in FCE using Quicktime

I have been using FCE 4.01 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec. This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file. GRRRR!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Steve

Why not bring the exported AIC file back into MPEG Streamclip instead of QTX? You'll have a lot more control.
Compress the file to H.264 and restrict the data rate according to the resolution you're working with and to something consistent with the guidelines of the Web Service (say, You Tube) you're uploading to, (For example, something like 6 Mb per second would be about right for a 720P file.)
Or use Quicktime Conversion from FCE.
Good luck.

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

Audio and video out of sync when using quicktime conversion

hello,
i am editing a hdv project and want to export to quicktime. the client needs it in a specific size (700x394). they do not want the video in the file compressed, just the size of image. they are compressing the video through flash for the web. anyways, i used to just use quicktime conversion, custom size and use 700x394, but now when i do that the audio and video are sparadically out of sync in the product. the wierd thing is that the project plays fine in the timeline, but when i export the problem occours. i then, exported to a full res fcp movie and it is fine. then tired reexporting through qt pro to 700x394. when i did this their were no sync issues but the quality of the file was not so good, it look more pixely, certainly not as good as when i did it using quicktime conversion.
how can i export through fcp to get the 700x394 file? someone said 'use current settings' instead of using quicktime conversion? how do i do this? what do i need to do and what are my settings?
any help is appreciated. thanks a ton in advance.
cheers,
clay

What format are you converting the HDV to?
If it's animation, it is quite possible your computer can't pull the data rate. In this case it would be a processor / hard drive issue not an out of sync issue.

Using Quicktime's "Export for Web" feature in iWeb?

Greetings,
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWeb, that is, to use movies created using Quicktime's "Export to Web" feature, which really seems to deliver superior movie quality?
Much appreciated,
DaveB

Thanks, good stuff, though I'm still having a small problem with this. I'm getting a gray line around the top and left of my movie and the right side of the player is getting cut off. When I try to make the width larger, it just moves the gray line further to the left.
Any ideas?

Exporting to Flash using Quicktime pro

I'm trying to export a 43 min vid from FCP6 using quicktime conversion. I want to export to Flash. Its for web content, and its in widescreen.
Any help with size and converting to flash would help. I've never done web content before.
Thanks!!
tec24

First, some questions: 1) what's the purpose? 2) who's your intended audience? 3) has it got to be done quickly, as in a short deadline? 4) Why Flash? 5) Why 43 minutes (have you ever in your life watched a 43 minute streaming video on the internet on anything but the most powerful 'puter with the highest-speed, dedicated internet connection)? 6) Do you care that what people see you throw up on the internet ultimately reflects on how you yourself are perceived by those same people?
For what could be a quick disaster, or if this project is mainly for sh*ts and giggles, follow the advice given in the first reply, post it pronto and don't bother with the rest of THIS reply.
Or, if you're on a deadline, pay someone who TRULY knows what they're doing to do it for you -- and they might still balk (if they have any scruples) at a 43 minute web video unless you've got a really good reason to make folks wait for way longer than 43 minutes of stop-and-start Flash stuff.
Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry:
FIRST, procure a book on the subject, like Apple's "QuickTime for the Web" (available on line and at Borders, for sure).
THEN, with some reading under your belt, be prepared to start experimenting with combinations of smaller movie dimensions and FPS rates (generally, half of what the original is); then on to varying types of video compression (Sorenson or Sorenson3 have historically given some of the best results, with H.264, the newest and more difficult to configure giving the truest quality, but not discounting the various MPEG settings; and last, but certainly not least, playing with your audio compressions to see what you're willing to lose in order to (hopefully) gain an internet audience. Like it or not, it depends on YOUR vid's content and audio as to how to make it small enough to be seen in its best internet presence.
OR, You might try some of Compressor's export settings -- and be totally satisfied. It's all relative to the work you've created and how long you're willing to work at what you're willing to sacrifice to still pull off a good illusion of your original video at a fraction of its original size.
I wish it weren't so, but there's no quick and easy answer to your question if you're serious at all about the end result. You have to consider all the angles I've posed (and then some) to get good results that'll show YOU in your best light.

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video?

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video? How can I fix this?
Baffled in SB

What format of MPG is this? Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video? How was the video created?

IMovies - Export Using Quicktime - can't find the finished file - help please!

Please help. I exported several imovies projects to a designated file on my mac, using Share - Export using Quicktime and then I uploaded them to Youtube.
I did this successfully several times, now when I export a project, it takes about 45 minutes to export it, then I can't find them anymore.
I have read several threads, which suggest looking in the iMovie projects folder and locate your project Right-click to get to "show package contents" and they are not there.
It looks as if it goes through successfully, no errors but this is so annoying as I am wasting hours sharing and then can't find it. Please help anyone.
Thanks

Hi Gee
I originally spent about 10 hours uploading 3 clips directly from imovies to Youtube to a private channel and they couldn't find any signs of my 3 uploads. So I read threads that said export to Quicktime from imovies and then load them to Youtube that way. I did that for 3 short, 10 minute videos and it worked fine. It changed the thread to .mov and it worked.
Then perhaps I changed something (not sure what) but now when I use Export to Quicktime, it spends 1 hour or so doing the motions and completes but when I go to the allocated folder to retrieve it. It can't be found. I read threads and this seems to be a regular occurrence but I haven't read any replies that has solved this issue.
Hope that's clearer.

is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone or if you start in portrait and go into landscape while recording

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Exporting using QuickTime informations

I've a camcorder by Sony, HDR-CX305. It makes AVCHD files at 24Mbps data-rate.
I have not problem to import and work with them but, for watching my movies on PS3, I use to export in MP4 with codec H.264.
I don't know what number I have to use for best result. I've tried with 24000 kbps data-rate and it seems be good but I like to know from who has more experience with H.264 codec.
If any person has best method to export on PS3 please, let me know it.
Thank you.

Try this.
Export using QuickTime.
Compression type mpeg4.
Video options h.264, 1920x1080, data rate 16000 Kbps.
For keyframes choose automatic or 24.
You can adjust data rate up or down if you like.
