Quicktime movie showing as 0:00 seconds

I'm using Keynote 08, OS X 10.4.11, and Quicktime 7.5, and when I try to import .avi or .mov files, nothing works. The first frame is displayed, but nothing more. When I click on the media icon, it shows that the movies are 0:00 seconds long.
I already tried checking the "Allow Exposé" in the slideshow preferences, and that didn't help. After combing through the previous posts, I'm not finding the exact issue, at least related to my current operating system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

For some reason, when I put in Quicktime videos manually (Insert-->Choose), it works fine. The media button only works for pictures and songs. Even though this is very odd, it still gets the job done.

  • Quicktime Movie Shows Up With ? Mark

    I recently moved my iWeb Site to Godaddy and now all of my Movies show up with a ? and won't play.

    OK, here goes... haven't had my coffee yet this morning and this isn't my strongest area, but anyway...

    This should be your movie, but it's not there. Check to see if you uploaded it.
    Also the name of the file has a space at the beginning of it, thus the %20 in the name.
    I would remove the space, reinsert the movie(s), republish, reupload to GoDaddy.

  • How to have multiple movies show in same window on same web page

    Hi folks,
    Here's what I mean: I have a web page with several pix on left side, and an embedded QT player window on the right. I want my users to click on one of the pix, and the associated quicktime movie shows up in the player window and starts playing (see player code below--pretty standard).
    So far, the only way I can think of to do this is to have multiple identical pages, the only difference being each one of them has a different movie in the "embed source" tag (so when you click on one of the pics it takes you to the new page, but to the user it will appear as if it's the same page).
    But for ease of modifying this page in the future (which I'll be doing a lot), I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Anyone know of a way to do this, using scripting or...??
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    player code:
    object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" name="movietitle" alt="quicktime movie player" width="320" height="256">
    <param name="controller" value="true" />
    <param name="autoplay" value="true" />
    <param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
    <embed src="movies/light1qt6.mov" width="320" height="256" name="movietitle" controller="true" autoplay="true" pluginspage=" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>

    This is beyond anything I have ever tried. But I think I know what you have in mind, and you should be able to do it using JavaScript. I did it with still images on this page:
    http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2005/ohfair2.html
    You would need to give the movie container a name so that you can access it from JavaScript, and you have the added problem of needing to control the QuickTime object from JavaScript. Have a look at the QuickTime JavaScript API; it might be helpful:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicktime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaSc ript/index.html
    In spite of the code on that gallery page I linked above, I really don't speak JavaScript, and I barely understand how my own code works. But I think JavaScript will allow you to do what you want to do, and you can probably even write a custom controller for the movie right into your web page.

  • Embedded Quicktime movies and DOM layering?

    Is there any way to overlay something on top of a quicktime movie in a web page without the quicktime movie showing through it?
    http://www.boozhowtooz.com/trailer
    I have a low res and high res version of a trailer where clicking the high res link overlays the movie in the a thickbox on the page. depending on the browser, the low res movie with show through the layer.
    I've been searching the web for a solution but the best one I've found is to remove the low res movie with javascript when the high res link is clicked. not exactly ideal but doable if that's the only thing that works.
    Is this a general problem with the quicktime plugin and dom layering?

    I'm sorry for saying that David, but you are not right in this point. You would have right if you say that every web page embedded object (flash, quicktime, activx, etc.) has a parameter (wmode, window mode) which is set to true by default. BUT if you are using flash object (flash video) you can set the wmode parameter - as far as I know there are no other embeddable objects which accept this parameter.
    And I think it's a bug, and not in browsers but (in this case) in Quicktime - I can't understand why Apple can't solve this problem. It's one key problem why most web developers (neither I) can't use QT on more complex web pages or in web applications. Easy examples:
    __ you can't drop a popup over a QT video (you can do it with a Flash video)
    __ you can't embed QT into fixed header/footer web pages with scrolling content (it overflows the header/footer
    __ you can't put any navigation over QT objects (imagine the situation: I'm working on an UI which has self slide-bar to navigate within a video, you can add/remove annotations, logs, messages etc. and not for just one video but for more synchronized ones > you I'll need a scroll-bar to display all of these, but if you scroll the videos 'under' the navigation hides the navigation...)
    So to conclude this short message: In my opinion this is a big problem with Quicktime, and I'm wondering why such a big company like Apple can't manage this problem (probably the web 'market' of QT is not big enough - in fact this is an issue why web developers don't like QT embeds...)
    Thanks.

  • Why Does QT Player Movie Show Flip4Mac Icon?

    I use Mavericks 10.9.3.  Please see enclosed picture.  Why does QuickTime Player Movie (that has been converted to QuickTime.mov) show a Flip4Mac icon on the top right hand side of movie? How do I remove that Flip4Mac icon?

    That watermark is put there by Flip4Mac. Apparently there was a bug in that extension, that was fixed in the latest version:
    Version 3.3.0.9:
    Removed Flip4Mac watermark from playback.

  • QuickTime movie/slide show attached to emails

    I regularly send email information to my clients. How do I make a QuickTime movie (15-20 seconds) or short slide show that can be attached to the emails without being such a large file that it is blocked at the other end and/or takes forever to send?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    If you limit the frame size to 320x240 and the FPS to 12 or so you should be able to use H264 or mpeg-4 encodng and keep the file size below 2 megs for the duration you mention. Most email accounts should be able to receive that file size.

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

  • Songs show up as "QuickTime movie file" and won't share or sync

    I have a few mp3 audio files in iTunes that aren't being transferred to my iPod (3G) and aren't showing up when I share my iTunes library to another computer, and I can't figure out why.
    The filenames have ".mp3" extensions. When I do a 'Get Info' on them in the Finder, they're identified as "MP3 Audio File". Running 'file' on them from a Terminal window says "MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag". They play just fine in iTunes as well as in QuickTime Player.
    But when I do a 'Get Info' on them from within iTunes, iTunes says each one is a "QuickTime movie file". And when I access this computer's shared music from iTunes on another computer on my network, everything shows up except these tracks; and when I sync my iPod, everything shows up except these tracks. I don't get any error messages.
    Why does iTunes think these songs are movie files, and how do I correct it?

    These files have the wrong creator.
    You can correct this by running the script on this web page.

  • How to make a 30 second quicktime movie small enough to send in email

    I took a 30 second movie on my Lumix camera and downloaded it to my desktop. It automatically turned into a quicktime
    movie, which I attempted to send in an email. It was refused by the Mail program because it was too large. I'm not sure how to make it small enough to send.
    I should know this by now, but never needed to before now.

    Betsi, the size file you can send in your email depends
    on the file sizes your particular email Service provider can
    handle. Check your service provider of your email.
    But do you have QuickTimePro?
    Is your QuickTime program free standing?
    I ask this because I saw it as part of iMovie.
    Mine is currently limited usage, but originally
    I could use it much more and even change the
    to what I wanted my file to be due to the
    numerous settings QuickTime had.
    Thank you! Paula

  • How to find the frames-per-second of a Quicktime movie using Applescript?

    Is there a way to find out the real-time "frames per second" of a Quicktime movie?
    The only Applescript movie properties in Quicktime which I have found to be useful are "duration" and "time scale". The real-time duration of the movie in seconds is found by dividing "duration" by "time scale".
    But "time scale" only sometimes relates to any real time property. In some cases it does (2500 = PAL 25 fps, 2997 = NTSC 29.97 fps) but for many other movie types I've opened (DivX, flv, mp4 etc) the "time scale" is often reported as "600" even though the Quicktime movie inspector window will report a frame rate of 25, 29.97, 15 or some other number.
    Where does the Quicktime movie inspector window extract the FPS from, and is it possible to extract that same number, or calculate the real-time FPS of a Quicktime movie using Applescript only?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for this but unfortunately it only works for some movie types. For .dv .flv and .divx movies, this script correctly calculates the FPS. But for .mpg .mp4 and .m4v it does not.
    For .mpg movies I tested, the count of frames was always 1, so clearly the FPS calculation is always wrong.
    For the .mp4 and .m4v movies I tried, the FPS was always reported as 43, regardless of whether the actual FPS was 25 or 29.97. In all cases the count of frames was incorrect.
    A bug in Quicktime?

  • My quicktime movies are showing up as completely black

    Some of my quicktime movies, made quite a while ago, are all of a sudden showing up black on my MacBook Pro.  They used to play perfectly on this same computer, it seems to be a very recent change.  But when I went back to an early backup on Time Machine, they were still black.  I tried copying one to another computer, an iMac, and there they played perfectly.  Has there been a change to the system or to the Quicktime player that would cause this?

    Interesting! Thanks for posting the link, QT Kirk.
    I don't have any Motion JPEG files to test. But I just looked in my Lion version and I can no longer chooose Motion JPEG as a video codec export option in QuickTime Player 7.6.6 Pro.
    I just created and tested MJPEG A and B files (MPEG Streamclip still accesses the Apple Motion JPEG A/B export codecs) in both QT X.1 and QT 7.6.6 under Lion. Both still play on my system even though the QT 7 Pro export option is no longer available as stated above. Looks like "the handwriting is on the wall" even if the codecs are still supported (at least partially) at this time.

  • Can a QuickTime movie play for more than 60 seconds per page

    Can a Quicktime movie be set to play for more than 1 minute per page in Keynote. I have clips that run up to 3 minutes. For now I have pulled the clip into 3 different pages and set the times to match but I get a 10 second delay between the pages that is very distracting.

    Yes I am trying to set up an automatic transition after the movie has played. I have still photos between the movies. I want the entire presentation to be self running. I did use the special builds in and out and have the action set at none. The movie clip will not run more than 60 seconds?

  • Quicktime movies don't show in browser

    Was having trouble with quicktime movies playing in Safari and Firefox. Each time I got the broken Q, I would restart the computer and it would work for a while. Upgraded to OS X(10.5) in hopes that might help. It didn't. No matter what I do no Quicktime in browser or a places like myspace. Any ideas?

  • How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

    I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
    It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
    When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    Thanks!

    That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
    Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
    Thanks for the reply!
