No Audio Codec options available when exporting Quicktime

[Thomas28020026wmq7]

What is the problem?

I want to export Quicktime Video with AAC audio. When I choose Quicktime as a format, there are no options for audio codecs, there is only "uncompresed" and no selection whatsoever. 

Why is it a problem?

I want to distribute a video using Sprinklr. It has to be Quicktime because multiple tests have shown that it looks the best when posted to LinkedIn. Sprinklr only accepts AAC audio. 

What Version of Premiere am I on?

25.3.0 Beta and I also have 25.2.1 Final installed.

What system am I on? 

Apple MacBook Pro 2023, M2Max, 96GB RAM, Sequoia 15.4.1

What have I tried and it didn't work for me? 

Using Media encoder is no different. 

Installing third party stuff like FFMpeg or ShutterEncoder is not an option due to security regulations at my company. 

Would appreciate any help here.

The QuickTime format in Premiere Pro is limited to uncompressed audio. However, it's important to remember that QuickTime is a container format — the codec inside the container determines the quality of the video.

Could you let us know which video codec you are using? You may be able to select the same codec in a different export format that supports AAC audio.
