We have created some videos in Quicktime player on a mac machine and imported them to our windows machine that has articulate replay on it. the files have the extension .mov. When we import these files into Articulate Replay we only get sound no video. Can you help please?
PS there doesn't appear to be any information on the internet regarding video files created on a mac and then imported in to replay on a windows pc and all the tutorials relate to recording your screen
MOV files are supported in Replay per the tutorial here, but I'd want to know more about your Mac-> PC environment. Did you confirm that you're following along with the general steps here?
the following is the process we took to get the files onto the windows pc.
1. Record the videos including sound using quicktime on the Apple mac computer.
2. Upload the files to our cloud based solution workshare connect
3. On the Windows pc, log into workshare connect and download the files from workshare onto the C: drive of the windows pc in a non shared folder.
4. launch Replay on the Windows pc
5. Select new
6. Select video
7. Bring in the first Video saved on the c drive.
sound comes in but the video does not.
Any help you can give us would be great, I have looked at the general steps and the only thing we have done on the mac is the actual recording of the videos which have a .mov extension. Everything Articulate wise is done exclusively on the windows pc.
Thanks for sharing those steps - that'd be exactly what I'd follow.
Do you have the .MOV file that you could share with me here? That way I could test it out as well (I'm on a Mac and run Storyline/Replay in a VMWare set up for Windows). You can upload it using the "add attachment" button at the bottom of the reply window.
Hi Ashley we already have a open ticket with Articulate Help Desk ticket number is SOR181550 so my colleague is going to send the file to them as they have asked us to do the same thing as yourself. its a work application so I can really share it on the public forum. Thank you for your help so far though.
Our case ticket numbers are typically 8 numbers, no letters - and start with two 00s, so that case number doesn't seem to match our system. Are you working perhaps with an Articulate Partner or Reseller who has a case system to provide support? If so, that's something I won't be able to see, but hopefully they'll be able to assist with any additional work around this issue.
Is this happening with any .MOV video or a particular one? Are you comfortable with attaching the troublesome video file publicly here or privately by using this link? I'll delete it when we nail the culprit!

I am trying to upload a QuickTime video from the C drive into Replay and get the message attached that it is not a valid media file....
Hi there, David!
Thanks for sharing a screenshot. It's super helpful to see! .MOV is a supported video file type in Replay 360, so that shouldn't be happening!
