Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos.
The text track works great until I try to export it. After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format. The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4. I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost. It disappears. When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing. Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
Thank you!

How do I print a movie with a text track to video?

Hello,
How can I get the subtitles in a text track to appear on a file in iMovie or Final Cut so it can be printed to video? Or put differently, how can I render that information so it becomes a part of the video track? The best I can do is print the clip with the subtitle area intact, but the area is filled in with white. I'm using QTP7.
Thanks!

I'm not sure how to do this with Quicktime, but VideoLAN can do it by using the "soverlay" module with the output transcoder.

How do I have an image move with a text box?

I need to embed an image within a text box so that when I add additional text in the future, the image moves with the text that surrounds it.
For example, if I have a paragraph of text, then on the following line vertically I have an image, then on the following line another paragraph of text ... When I add additional paragraphs of text above the image, how can I have the image track down to stay between the original two paragraphs of text?

Thanks Zak! I figured that out but now have another problem that I just posted. The app keeps locking up when I try to export HTML or upload my site to the server. Please give me any advise on how to handle it.
Here's my other post:
Hi,
I just upgraded to the latest version of Muse. I made a few changes to my site and I'm trying to export the HTML. I've now tried 3 times and the app locks up at 89%. It completes all pages, but locks up there. When I look into the Muse Export folder, there is nothing there. The window reads "Finishing export" but it stays at that point for more than an hour when I finally give up and force quit.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to get my HTML exported successfully?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Just an update. Previously I was attempting to export HTML to the Muse Export folder on my computer. I described what happened above. Now, I'm trying to publish directly to my FTP site. Its doing basically the same behavior where it exports all desktop pages (189 of them) then it locks up. However, the interesting thing is that when exporting to the Muse Export folder on my computer this said it was 89% complete. When uploading to my server, it says its 59% computer when all pages have been exported. Both options result in the app locking up and never completing the export. I did check my site online to see if the pages were really updated. I made a change to the nav bar on the master so I should see that on every page. It is not showing up online yet even though the app says all 189 pages have been exported. Still looking for help, all advice and ideas will be appreciated! I do want to get my updates online.

How to send Html Mail through navigateToUrl() with contentType "text/html" for Android ?

Isn't it possible to send Html Mail through navigateToUrl() with contentType "text/html" for Android ? please suggest any workaround
Thanks

AHHHH
What you can do to make HTML for Apple Mail is to make it in an HTML editor, open it with Safari use CMD+i - a new mail message will appear in a moment with the web page in the email body.
You can't do any major editing in Mail, you'll have to go back to the HTML file. But it works.
You can also use Copy (from a web page) and then (Edit) Paste as HTML (that what Paste as HTML is for, not for creating HTML email). You can also user Paste as HTML to copy/paste a HTML email you receive or part of a HTML email.

Windows Vista & ISight - QuickTime Pro/Windows Movie Maker issues

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I really like, but I am having one small issue that is really confusing me. Basically, I installed Windows Vista using BootCamp and I also installed all BootCamp drivers successfully. This basically allows me to use ISight for some chat applications (e.g. Live Messenger). However, I can't access ISight through QuickTime Pro Windows Movie Maker. Are those not compatible?
If not, what other options do I have? Basically, I am looking for some software to record ISight video for my family. And, yes, I know there is good software on the OSX side which I am already using, but I also would like to have to option to use some video editing software I already own on Windows.
Thanks,
Jens

windtalker64, if it's a .mov you cannot take it into movie maker, it has to be converted to a .avi for movie maker to accept it. I used QT pro to convert a .mov to a .avi, took it into movie maker and it then became a .wmv, which is what I was trying to do. I'm going back 3 years ago when I did this so unless things have changed?

'Pass Through' Chapter Select Menu Text

Hi there,
I'm putting together a DVD using the Pass Through theme, but seem to hit a snag with the chapter menus - namely that I can't stop the background text from saying "PASS THROUGH CHAPTERS". Whilst looking very nice, it's not actually what I want.
I've prodded around in every menu I can find, to no avail. Anybody know how to change this?
Thanks!

In order to understand the fix, it's useful to understand how the Passthrough theme works (also known as the "Passage Thema" in the Deutsch/German customisation of iDVD). There are three levels in the screens hierarchy for this theme. These are top level, mid level and chapter level.
The background text is in Impact font and inherits its text contents from the foreground text which can normally be edited and modified, re-formatted and (unfortunately) deleted. Other foreground text can be placed on the page also.
If the user deletes the foreground text the background text becomes uneditable. The lowest level pages appear to have no editable foreground text box.
The approach to editing depends on whether
One way to fix this on the chapter/scene selection screens is to download a Hex-Editor for MacOS X such as "HexEdit".
Using HexEdit, open up a backup of the .dvdproj file you are working on. In the Open dialog, navigate to the file and then you will see further internal resources in the file to open. Click into Contents > Resources > ProjectData
Now search (Ctrl-F) for the text "pass through chapters" (assuming this is the irritating text you wish to replace on the scene select page), which will display in the right hand half of the window. Left is hexadecimal, right is the ASCII translation. Use Find and Replace rather than typing directly into either section.
Replace it with the text you want the sub-pages to display. Note this is a tricky move because for some reason the file structure counts the number of characters. Your replacement text must contain exactly the same number of characters as the text you are replacing. (You can pad with spaces at the end if you desire).
Note you'll probably see the word Impact somewhere around here. Adventurous users might find a way to edit the font of the background text mask. I did not, and it might be that the font name has to match exactly your system resources and be the same length as the word "Impact" that it replaces.
Save the dvdproj file once you have finished and have a look.
Limitations of iDVD: Every sub-page has the same background text.
Workaround for the mid-level pages: Add the buttons for the movies to the top level page. Then drop movie assets onto the buttons. Note the buttons inherit the movie names. Edit these. Go into each mid-level sub-page and edit the title there also.
If you want the mid level sub-page background text to be different from the foreground text, then you will need to reduce the editable foreground text until it is insignificant and change its color also. Add a new Text object from the menu and type in the foreground text. This is easier than messing about with HexEdit.
For some reason, I lost the foreground title text for the top level home menu, and also had to employ the HexEdit technique at this level.
Good luck.

Problem with embedded captions in quicktime export

Hi,
I'm trying to add embedded closed captions to a video. I just installed the latest version of Premiere Pro yesterday on my Mac. Should be simple, but alas!
I have this 3 minute video file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5t9s1kgpa8s3f76/Revver%20Introduction-1080p.mp4
To which I added this .scc caption file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ickt0al7v6ggb2/rev3.scc
Things look great in the Premiere preview pane: http://screencast.com/t/HFZLVj6OX
But when I export as a quicktime video with embedded captions, I get a garbage output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3bmcx9yk5uuhy0/Revver%20Introduction-1080p-CC.mov
The closed captions display way more rapidly than they do in the Premiere preview pane. I didn't mess with any of the export settings - here's what I selected to get the export: http://screencast.com/t/dgx8a4v5sl7
What's going on? Why is this not working?
Rory

Wow that's awesome. Thanks Kevin.
I downloaded your project, located the source files as being on my machine instead of yours, and tried it out. Unfortunately the export still had some issues, but looking at what you did helped me figure out how to start again from scratch and do it correctly.
I think I understand now - I had been creating a sequence by dragging the video onto the new item. So the sequence used the attributes of the video clip. I hadn't realized I could create a new sequence with different attributes, as described in this article http://helpx.adobe.com/en/premiere-pro/using/creating-changing-sequences.html
So I created a new sequence, made sure it had 29.97 fps and correct dimensions (1440 x 1080), dragged in the video and scc, and exported.
Seems like it worked!
Here's the final verions, with captions embedded. You'll need to download it to see the captions, since dropbox's player doesn't support caption playback:

Need Dynamic boxes position to move with scrollable text postion

I am having a problem that I can't figure out. The textbox is scrollable and I need the boxes that are created to move according to the position of the word it is supposed to be hovering over. I would think I could create an ENTER_FRAME listener for each siteButton and change the y position with the getCharBoundaries() of the word but I keep getting errors. Here is the codee below:
webSite = infoBox.taNotes.text.match(regex);
    if (webSite.length > 0){
        for (var i in webSite) {
            var index1 = infoBox.taNotes.text.search(webSite[i]);
            var index2 = index1 + webSite[i].length - 1;
            var x1 = infoBox.taNotes.getCharBoundaries(index1).x;
            var x2 = infoBox.taNotes.getCharBoundaries(index2).x;
            var y1 = infoBox.taNotes.getCharBoundaries(index1).y;
            var h1 = infoBox.taNotes.getCharBoundaries(index1).height;
            var siteButton:linkButton = new linkButton();
            infoBox.buttons.addChild(siteButton);
            siteButton.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, siteButtonMove);
            siteButton.x = infoBox.taNotes.x + x1;
            siteButton.y = infoBox.taNotes.y + y1;
            siteButton.width = x2 - x1 + 9;
            siteButton.height = h1;
            siteButton.blendMode = "multiply";
            siteButton.name = "siteButton"+[i];
            siteButton.siteLink = "http://" + webSite[i];
            siteButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoNotesWebsite);
function siteButtonMove(event:Event):void {
    if (webSite.length > 0){
        for (var i in webSite) {
            var index1 = infoBox.taNotes.text.search(webSite[i]);
            var y1 = infoBox.taNotes.getCharBoundaries(index1).y;
            trace(y1);
            trace(event.currentTarget.name);

Dear havoc:
You leave out some details so it's not exactly clear what you want. (InDesign does have modal dialog boxes, though I don't know why you would want more of them -- generally a user interface designer tries hard to reduce the number of modal dialog boxes...)
What does it mean for text to "start on the previous line where the previous text ended"? What does it mean for "text to end"?
Are you dealing with multiple text frames?
How is your data getting from your database to InDesign?
If you are using data merge, you can just put 3 fields on the same line.
You can also do something similar with XML, though I would warn you away from that.
But probably I would just instruct the database to combine the 3 fields together on export.
So, please give us a concrete example of the trouble you're having. A screenshot would be excellent, too.
I don't think thre is any reason you would nee to upgrade from CS4 to CS5 (or CS5.5) for this.

How can I export/share a project/movie with iMovie 10(.0.1)?

Hi,
I generate a movie with images from iPhoto and underlaid a sound file. In iMovie the film looks great and now I want to share/export it. But the share button doesn't work: I click on it and nothing happens – no submenu, no window, nothing. It seems there is missing a function behind the menu item.
I closed iMovie, restart it – nothing.
I shut down the Mac and reboot it – nothing.
I deleted the preferences after closing the app and restart it – nothing happens.
What can I do?
This happens with image movies AND with clip movies generated with iMovie.
Thanks for a hint.
CK

Thanks Chris,
I will uninstall the imovie app using the mackeeper uninstaller, but wanted to ask if I trash /delete all the files
when I do this? When it scans my computer it says I have two versions of imovie and other files as well.
Just wanted to check if I will still have my trailer left in my user file on the computer.
Sorry to bug you, but I spent alot of time doing it and dont want to lose the work . So want to be sure I am doing it the right way!
Cheers Graham

Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work

When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion. I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration. When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward.   However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible. I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013.   Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out.   It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies.   Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs.

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

Pass-through recording with Canon ZR25

I have an older Canon ZR25. Is it capable of pass-through recording from a VCR? I can plug the VCR to the camera, and the camera to the computer via the firewire, but can't get anything to work. Is my only option to actually record the VCR tape on the mini DV tape in the camcorder first, then transfer that to the computer?

Tim is 200% correct here: any performance gains (if any...) you'll get will fade in darkness compared to management burden you'll have with pass-thru disks (issues with failover, VM migration and no
real support with a major VM backup vendors). Making long story short: don't do it.

Fullscreen Movies with Embedded QT Player

Ok guys, someone please help me, I'm going crazy over here and can't find anything on the topic.
I have QT movies embedded into an HTML page, how do you enable a fullscreen function? Or can this even be done? I've never seen a tool bar that allows fullscreen for an embedded QT movie. The people accessing the html page will not have Quicktime Pro. Anyone got a clue?

David, thanks for setting that up! It's just kills me why Apple wont just give us the ability to go fullscreen and make it easy for us!
Your samples did work on the Mac, but completely bombed on the PC in IE and Firefox. I visited the apple site and found some QT movies that opened the QT player and went fullscreen, but they didn't always work on the PC. The problem with using the QT player outside of the HTML is I have several clips so I need some sort of navigation. Also, the fact that launching the player doesn't always work for everyone is a bigger problem for me.
I was originally using JW Flash Player and it was wonderful, but the CPU usage was HUGE when compared to QT. My movies are 960/540 and around 80 megs, it was using 120-150% of my CPU (each core is 100%). Fullscreen was great with FLASH, but the movies didn't play for users that had older hardware (1 cpu)
Any ideas on how I can still work with QT, can I pay someone money? LOL.

YN 622C pass-through TTL with 430 EX II?

Have Canon T5i, Canon 430 EX II flash.
I bought a set of Yongnuo YN622C radio TTL triggers, and they work great for OFF-camera TTL. I can set my 430EXII anywhere around a room and it shoots with perfect full TTL.
But when I have the YN622C on the Camera hotshoe, then put the 430EXII on top of that, right on the camera, the flash fires only as a manual flash.
The YN622C is supposed to have "pass through" ability - passing TTL settings through to the 430EXII mounted on top, but mine is not working. I want to have one TTL flash on top of the trigger, on the camera, for a fill flash, and then another flash on the remote trigger for an off-camera flash.
Has anyone else used these triggers with success? Do I just have a set of faulty triggers that should be returned? or is there some special trick that I'm missing to get TTL pass through?. It seems awfully strange that they work for OFF-camera TTL, but do not work when everything is mounted directly to the camera.

You should be able to have "pass through". It seemed to work Okay when I tried it.
I would suggest doing a Reset/Clear to default.
Here is a link to a very good resource for using the YN-622C. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B77OmmGIg0gMVFpqNkpBYXBHajA/edit

My book was rejected for containing images with embedded text. Does Apple not make exceptions for graphic novels, etc.?

I created my first book with iBooks Author, and am trying to publish it as a paid book in the iBookstore. It is a book of writing and photography, and each page contains one or more photographs. Some of the photographs are of handwritten notebook pages, and these are an essential and expressive part of the book. The handwritten notes were written when taking the photographs, and the book is a thoughtful visual journal about walking and photography. Replacing the handwriting with typewritten text would not work at all.
However, Apple rejected my book because "Embedding text in images creates issues that cause a large number of customer complaints."
I understand the reasoning behind this requirement, and certainly it is appropriate for most books. But does Apple make exceptions for books that need to present text visually? I would call my book an "artist's book", but it could be thought of as a graphic novel. Surely there are other books besides mine that require text embedded in images.

This sounds like something you have to take up with Apple directly rather than here in the user/user forums. You might want to try the contacts listed at the bottom of the FAQ:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/content-providers/book-faq.html
It might be helpful to find some things in the store yourself that demonstrate such exceptions, so you can ask for equal treatment.
