  • I can’t export to QuickTime, it gives message “Codec not found.”

    I have a long sequence, in which I have some Channel Swap effects. I get an error message saying it can’t be rendered for a sequence this long (72 minutes) with my hardware (2009 iMac running OS 10.6.8). When I try to export to QuickTime, it tells me “Codec not found.” I’m trying to export to Apple Pro Res HQ. What should I do? I took out the Channel Swap effects and didn’t get the message anymore in the sequence, but I’m afraid the codec issue will crop up again, even though I changed it to Apple Pro Res in the Render Options tab under Sequence settings, rather than just “Same as Sequence”. Eventually, I will have to export to HQ, and I’m not sure this codec lets me do that. Help!

    is your sequence set to “render in 10 bit high precision YUV”.? you might try setting it to “render in 8 bit YUV”. also i would render in ProRes…not HQ.
