Q: Quicktime Previews - Gone?

Seems like all my quickview previews of .mov files are not working (even when you hit the space bar). Just getting the quicktime icon with a option to open in quicktime.... anyone else?

yes, hit space bar and you can quicklook the .mov file.

You might want to try quicklook from File menu and then from the 'gear' menu or cmmd-Y to see if any of those commands work.

so ALL quicktime movies are not showing in quickview. I openned up one in quicktime X then exported it, and then the preview showed up. Obviously Im not doing that for all my movies. Seems like all legacy files are not being supoorted. Even if I do a get info, the preview field has the quicktimeX icon inside.

Meherally - cant find the 'gear' menu....

thx in advance.

Try this:

Open Terminal (in Spotlight type term and hit return)
In the Terminal enter 'qlmanage -r' and hit return

hopefully it helps

thx, no dice. After looking through more movies heres what I found:

All my 'Pro Res' and 'Animation' codec files are showing up blank (black) in quicktime X but are fine in quictime 7.

Photo jpg compression seem to open fine in quicktime X

tried a few things.

Openned a Pro Res movie showing up Black in X and exported again, gave error.

...but the same file openned fine in quicktime 7.

Something is up with Quicktime X, I do have final cut studio and X installed.

I will reinstall and let you know whats up.....

Yes, loading a clip now,

tried to recover Lion and reinstall but keeps asking if i want to 'cancel' while downloading. No way to bypass that. strange and clunky. This redownloading process is a pain. Stay tuned for a link.
