I exported another QT and it was great, no car. I then brought that straight into compressor. I put the settings on “High Quality: 90 min” blah blah. In compressor, i previewed the movie and i can see the car drive by.
I exported the quicktime movie (which was flawless), created a new project file, and imported the quicktime export into that new file. then using compressor, i exported to m2v at the highest quality.
