iMovie

Every time I try to export from iMovie, I get a file that will only play in VLC, but not Quicktime. Exporting to 1080, High Quality, Best quality compression.

Any ideas?

The movie should play on QT.


Try making a test movie and exporting out with different settings. On one of your test exports try using Best Quality (pro res). That would give you a .mov file rather than an Mp4 file. See if that plays in QT.
