Photoshop CS6 export video to MOV format

I have a few MOV format videos that I need to rotate and re-save with PS CS6. I've never tried video editing with Photoshop, and this must be the most basic of basic starts in my next career as a film producer. I assume I just go to Image > Image Rotation as one does with image files? Then when I export the video, and select QuickTime MOV format, the resulting file does not actually have any video in it -- only audio. And despite having no video apparently, the file size is huuuge.

So what gives? Am I doing something wrong? I have QuickTime viewer installed, but do not have a licence for QuickTime full version. Is that it?

Shall I just export to mp4 and be done with it? I would prefer to be consistent... so that I have all MOV files (I won't have to rotate / edit all video files, only some).

Thanks,

Mike

Apple has two QuickTime products - QT Player (free), and QT Pro (~ US $29). The installation is for both versions, but with the Pro purchase, you can unlock some additional features, like the ability to do rudimentary editing, and more Export options. I have been told that the Pro version has some additional CODEC's, that are unlocked, but I have my suspicions. However, as I have had the Pro versions on all computers from about 7.1, I cannot even check that out.

Historically, if one has purchased Pro, and used the unlock feature with the S/N, then all point upgrades carry though, so if you had 7.5.5 Pro, and updated that to 7.8, you would still have Pro. Again historically, if they went to version 8, then one would need to purchase another Pro license. Not sure how this will work, when the version 8 does hit for the PC. We will just have to wait and see.

Now, the QT Animation CODEC is a good one, that should work (files WILL be large), and that is what I receive from my contract 3D artists, to use in my Premiere Pro Projects. I would think that should work fine, but you are having issues. As a test, try the PNG (might be called Photo PNG?), and see if you do get your Video. That is also a good choice of CODEC.

Good luck,
