Rendering as QuickTime
 

I have an HD project on the time line with settings - HDV / upper field first / par 1.3333 (HDV 1080) and have no problem rendering to HDV or Mpeg-2. (Veg Pro 9).

However, when I render to QT, instead of it taking a few minutes for the render box to complete (100%) it jumps to 100% and the resulting file is only 1Kb and hence won't play. How do I make a high quality QuickTime file that will play ?

Any suggestions ?

what version vegas / what version quicktime?

Re: Rendering as QuickTime
 

Vegas Pro 9 as mentioned, to QT7. This is the only one listed in the Vegas menu.

sorry...

what version of quicktime do you have installed?

apparently you need 7.6.2, no later otherwise you'll have problems in vegas.

Re: Rendering as QuickTime
 

Thanks Leslie, - trap for the unwary it seems. I downloaded the latest QT last week but when I open the player and go to properties I cannot see any version reference. How do you determine the version ?

Obviously it will be the latest version so I suppose it will be later than what Vegas wants to use.

If you downloaded the current version last week, it is certainly NOT 7.6.2.

Re: Rendering as QuickTime
 

I uninstalled QT, re-installed Vers. 7.6.2 re-booted and tried again but I still get the same result.
When I try to play this "rendered ??" file, I get :

Error - 2000: a necessary data reference could not be resolved (file name).mov.sfl

Any further suggestions ?

This may be a corrupt sfl file, perhaps something to do with your previous version of QT. Try deleting it or archiving it elsewhere - Vegas should create a new one...

Re: Rendering as QuickTime
 

Thanks Seth, I will try this but I don't follow why it does not create a big file in the first place - (even a corrupted one !), as it simply shows a 100% render, instantly.

Further to my last reply I now realise that I had to uninstall the previous version of QT before I could install v. 7.6.2. Once I did this I then re-booted to make sure that the older version should then install OK.

Uncheck the "Include Markers" box.

Thanks Edward, but unfortuneately it made no difference.
