QT Movie Export…Working?

Post by blue »

Is everyone having success using QT movie export in DP 4.6? I searched the board and didn't find any topics on this.

Recently I've been trying to use this feature on someone else's machine without success. The audio is there but the picture turns to white after a second or so of playback.

I've tried it on my setup at home and it works fine. For what it's worth, I'm using QT 6.5.2 and he's using 7.

Anybody else have any experience with this?

Just tried a test with a 15 minute short I'm working on.
Bounced down 22 channels at 16bit/44khz and then again
at 24/44.
It appears to be working for me.
I'm using Quicktime 7.01 and Tiger 10.4.2

Thanks for testing it out, sdfalk. As I somewhat suspected, it doesn't seems like a QT version issue.

Still important to find out the problem though.
Hopefully he mentions this problem to Motu

I had the same problem when I selected part of the project, I mean a section of the music in the track windows, however when I selected the full long of the track (tracks) which implies the full movie everything works just fine. It seems to me that for any reason if you want to export only a section of the movie DP doesn't compute well and you get that blank image even if the sound is okay in the already exported quicktime movie.
If someone has the same experience and a workaround I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks.
