Final Cut Express and QuickTime
I have FCE 4.0.1. When I export sequences as QT movie (not as self-contained movie) the resulting .mov file cannot be read by QuickTime. The QT player starts, says it is converting the file, then states the QT player cannot open the .mov file.
It seems to be a function of OS X. I was having trouble with iDVD, thus I upgraded to OS X 10.9.2 (from 10.7.x) hoping that would cure my iDVD problems. It didn't (still cannot start iDVD without hitting ALT to create new one - that's another issue) and now the .mov files cannot even be read.
Aren't the QT movie files exported by FCE readable by the latest version of QT?
Right now I am converting the exported files using Toast. I do not know if that will work yet. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
