    I need to export files to .mov. I’m using Sony Vegas 7b on Windows Vista. Every time I choose to render as .mov I get an error and Vegas shuts down. Can anyone help me with this?

    Vegas 7 does not support Vista. Also, for Quicktime, you must have Quicktime installed (the current version should be fine). You used to have to do a “Manual” install and select the “Authoring Components” but I don’t know if that’s still necessary.

    HI,

    I’m operating w/ Vegas 6 and have quicktime 7 on my computer. Presently, I’m not able to view .mov files in vegas. How do I manually install? and what exactly am I installing? Thanks for you help,

    When you first run the QuickTime setup, do you get options where you can choose the type of setup? Like “Standard”, “Custom”, or some other wording? If yes, you want “Custom”.

    No, I wasn’t afforded such a luxury. Once the player is open, the only options are under edit/ preferences/ player preferences or quicktime preferences. I uninstalled & reinstalled quicktime, but no custom install options. Any other means for viewing .mov files in vegas? Thanks again,

    The “authoring components” must be installed. In the past, this required choosing “Custom” when installing and picking those options to be installed as they were not installed in the default install.
