Premiere exports not playing in quicktime

I have a premiere sequence with an after effects dynamic link composition. The .h264 export will not play in quicktime. But a .mov export does. Why? And what do I have to do to make the .h264 export play in quicktime.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what it is. In the PC world you would be checking your GPU driver. Exporting in 'software only' mode is OK, but slower. I don't consider it a permanent fix, so you might keep exploring the issue.

Rename your file extension to ".mp4"

"H.264" files aren't supposed to have ".h264" extensions. Some players (e.g. VLC) will still play them with that extension because the detect what codec is actually contained within. But Quicktime won't recognise H.264 encoded video in files that have non-standard extensions.

Yes, they are .mp4 files. Sorry for the confusion. They are h264 compressed files with .mp4 file extenstion.

What OS are you on?

What are you export settings, and which version of both Premiere and Quicktime?
