i hate Quicktime!!!!
Hi just been scratching my head, just exported a file on my Mac Pro into just a quicktime file self contained, open in quicktime and works fine. I transport that file onto my mac book pro. Open in quicktime, audio is fine but no visual just a blank screen… I updated quicktime to 7 and still no luck. I open an apple trailer and I see visual there but just not on my imported file… why??? what am I doing wrong… Also my master templates dont work on final cut pro on mac pro, I asked that before but no one had any answers… please help

Your Macbook Pro is missing the codec that you exported with from your Mac Pro. That’s why you’re getting the blank/white screen on playback. There are many, many QT codecs available (just look at them all in your easy setups window) and they all end in the MOV suffix after export. Go back and find out what codec you used for export and make sure the same one is available on your Macbook Pro.

Just checked codex its HDV 1080i50, whats the best codex to export so it works on most quicktime players, thanks all, also any idea why master templates is blank in timeline?

Native HDV is only available on machines with FCS. What do you want to do with it after you export it? Why are you exporting?
All the best,

Yup…it’s not QT. It’s that FCP has codecs that only come with FCP…HDV is one of them.

I always use uncompressed. Sure the file sizes are bigger but you know everyone will be able to play the raw file.

PhotoJPEG is a nice and free codec that will work on any single machine that has Quicktime on it.

though Jpeg or photo would just put the main frame in a picture format not an actual movie???? How confused am i lol. Basically I need to put on another computer to show someone how a 1 minute clip will look. So they can view an put on the web. Wierd thing is I put in apples intemediate codex and there were a few drop frames and towards the end it didnt even finish of the minute sequence… really strange. I put in H624 and video playback was fine but the sound went mute half way through… why cant life be simple lol

Because you’re learning, and because to get ahead in life you have to take work away from someone else.
Neither of those is easy and neither of those should be easy.
