Question

Problem with Quicktime Export on Windows XP

Asked by: cornell256

Within Adobe Premiere, I export a project to a Quicktime CODEC, for example Apple Animation which is lossless

I import this into Quicktime Pro (latest one) on my Windows XP system. The playback of the .mov file is fine.

From within the Quicktime Pro environment, I then export to H264 or MPEG4 (or other CODECs tried, as well) with the goal of having a smaller file.

Problem: the playback of the .mov file has good audio, but the video is mostly white, I can see some shimmering colors where the image is (the image is a speaker, and I can see the outline of the speaker in bright, non-real colors).

Does anyone know what is going on?

At some point, I'll try importing the Apple Animation .mov file into Quicktime Pro on OSX, and see if I can export it. But I would prefer to stay within the XP environment since that is where all my editing is done.

Thanks for any insight on this.

Hi. I'll take a look, but doubt this will do because it is within Quicktime that the problem seems to lie. But I'll take a look, and thanks.

Yeah, sounds like something is wrong with your QuickTime installation. What happens if you export your project as AVI, and encode that using QuickTime? Did you try to reinstall it?

 

by: cornell256Posted on 2006-08-08 at 02:12:01ID: 17269778

Actually, I found the answer in Quicktime forums: the keyword if anyone is searching is Whitespace.

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2373612?

It's a bug in Quicktime.

 

by: cornell256Posted on 2006-08-08 at 02:14:00ID: 17269787

re Yukele question, one of the things I tried was exporting as avi and encoding - same problem. But the fix mentioned in the above forum note works.

Thanks for the efforts.

What do you experts suggest I do about points since I just answered this myself. First time I have come across this situation in E-E.
