    Hey guys – I did a Project and exported QT out and it works fine on my machine, but when I transfer to another computer, I get black screen and the audio. I both machines were iMacs, (G5 iMac and 1 new iMac) But not luck getting video. I did run through compressor at native size and although loss of quality – it did however play on the other computer. I never had this issue in FCS 1.

    thanks

    Most likely the other machines don’t have the codec of your exported movie.

    DO those other machines have FCP installed?

    #48 – Cannot view DVCPRO HD or HDV or ProRes on my computer.

    Shane’s Stock Answer #48 – Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.

    The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn’t matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.

    If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes

    If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:

    HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:

    If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:

    https://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/p2-hd/downloads-and-updates.asp

    Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

    Of course, maybe I did not notice it, because maybe I exported through compressor. LOL no idea now
