Quicktime video clips for website

I would like to upload clips of a recent tv appearance on my website. The producer will give me the footage as a quicktime file, but he needs to know the following specs first: resolution, pixel h x w, and frame rate. (I'm not sure the producer himself knows what info he needs). Basically, each clip will be about three minutes long, and I'd like the best possible quality for the web, in a normal, youtube sized window. My webmaster doesn't know quicktime. Can anyone tell me what to tell the producer?

All you need to know is how big a file the're willing to allow to be downloaded.
There is sometimes a misconseption about streaming verses downloading a video. Streaming video requires a dedicated sever, (for the type of streaming you are going to be doing.)
If you are not going to stream, but rather download the video content, (known as progressive download) then the file can sit on the http server as a downloadable file, with a link to it, by embeding the files information in the web page, using the proper html code, from the vendor to the media content you are going to use.
We use Quicktime here and do true streaming, using a Xserver and stream via RTSP proticol. The web server then has a reference movie embed in the web page that directs the enduser to the streaming servers address, which is then sent to the web page with the embed information for QT and the end view can watch the movie, without every downloading any of the content to there local drive. This protects the content from being downloaded by the end user and alos gives random access to any part of the media, at will, (no waiting for all of the file to download, like progressive does.)
If you choose to do, (what most sites do, progressive download) then you only need the http web server and a large hardrive or RAID storage for the media content. These file are then downloaded when the end user clicks on the link provided in the web page, and you will see a progression bar below the movie as the file downloads. A dedicated streaming server is not used in this case, just the http server as a download server.
Most web movies are currently running a window at 320x240 or in my case, (using the QT codec, H.264) 480x360 for SD video. We stream at the following streaming sizes, 128k, 512k & 1024k, using the above window size for all.
Our software that we encode with is Episode Pro, (our primary encoder) or Cleaner 6.5, (this is a second choice, (due to lack of support by Auto Desk who owns Cleaner.) We also encode with Sorenson 4.5, but not offten.
Hope this helps?

  • How do I get a quicktime video clips to go into my itunes?

    Hi I have the latest version of itunes and quicktime ( Version 7.1.3) but I can't get itunes to play my quicktime video clips. I've tried dragging and importing them in but nothing happens. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi thanks for the help. But I was hoping that I wouldn't have to download or have to convert video files. I have a quicktime video in my itunes now but it was a while back when I added that I can't remember how too. Is there a easy way to do it or will I need to convert the Avi.files to something else? Thanks again for the help!

  • Quicktime video clips won't sync with ipod

    Hi I've been trying to get some of the quicktime video clips I have to sync with my ipod but it says it can't because it can't play the clips on ipod. I've done it before but that was so long ago I have forgotten how to do it. So can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

    Try right clicking on the videos in iTunes and selecting "convert selection for iPod".

  • When I play video clips from websites like Prescreen the sound is loud enough to hear w/out headphones.  When I play my own professionally mastered video I have to wear head phones to hear loud enough.  Is there a trick in Compressor or other software?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

  • Quicktime video clips look red

    When I import Quicktime video clips into iMovie (for Mac - latest version) they come in looking bright red.  Why is this?  Can anyone help me.   -Thanks

    Not sure what you are asking?
    To make as still frame from video?
    Or to strobe the video (play at less fps)?
    Both I believe can't be done in iMovie iOS

  • How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
    One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
    Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
    BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
    Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

  • Burning a shuffled playlist of Quicktime video clips

    I have a folder with 308 Quicktime video clips in it.
    I wondered if there was an easy way to burn to DVDs a shuffled playlist of video clips.
    I have Toast but that only caters for shuffling photos or music.
    I don't have the space to load them all into itunes.
    Is there a way of shuffling the files names with the finder to then add to Toast or something like that?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Tranfering video clips for Keynote in iPad

    Hello:
             I have multiple video clips in Keynote in ultiple presentations (A, B, C, D, etc.). For each presentation, I have created seperate folders with video clips (e.g., A. Video Clips, B.Video Clips, etc.)
             I read that I need to pass the video clips vi PHOTO app through iTune.  However, when I did it for presentation B, it would not work. It incorporated some of the videos from A but not all of B even though at the time of synching it indicated corrected number of files had been transferred.
            What am I doing wrong? How to transfer videos for multiple presentations for Keynote  into iPad? I bought the book by Tom Negrino but it is of no help.
            Thanks.

    It seems that if I crop a video in iMovie and import it
    into Keynote, the entire original video moves, not
    just the cropped portion. In other words, I don't
    seem to be able to delete the portions of a large
    imported video that I don't want or to cut up a large
    video into smaller clips which can then be used in
    Keynote.
    Dude! You keep saying that!
    iMovie edits movies. Your results (still seeing deleted footage) are not correct or usual. You have to 'Share' the finished edit out to Quicktime. Have you tried that yet?
    Stay out of the media folders where the dv files are. And don't drag and drop the clips out of the iMovie window.
    Go to the file menu and select share. In that menu you have a lot of options. Check it out.
    iMovie is the perfect option for getting video into Keynote.

  • Preparing clip for website, show first 5 seconds, loop the next 5

    I'm working on a title...
    I would like the first 5 seconds to only show when a webpage is loaded, for simplification, we'll just say this is for QuickTime instead of a website.
    The whole thing: animated background texture, animated texture on the text
    The beginning: text appears using some effects, has the mentioned animated texture
    The end: the background texture continues to animate, as well as the animated texture on the text
    Only difference between beginning and end: the text does not need to appear, it only needs to show once when the video is played.
    In summary:
    Is it possible to have the first 5 seconds play once, and the next 5 seconds loop continuously? How?
    Thanks a million!

    Is it possible to have the first 5 seconds play once, and the next 5 seconds loop continuously? How?< </div>
    Not in Livetype, no. all you do in LT is create the content. How it is played out or displayed is controlled in your streaming controller.

  • Who is blocking video Airplay for websites, is it Apple or the website?

    I have to think the reason I can't share video from most websites to my TV is not due to technological limitations, but due to either Apple or the website owners themselves deliberately withholding from us this functionality. The reason I think this is because I've found a way to trick Airplay and/or the website to share the first ~15 seconds or so of the video to my TV. If you have an iPad and an AppleTV, here's how to Airplay share at least a portion of video from a website that's seemingly non-compatible for video Airplay sharing:
    1. On your iPad, go to any website with a video you'd like to watch on your TV (I tried it out on cnn.com).
    2. Tap to play the video on you iPad2.
    3. Tap to share the video to your AppleTV via AirPlay. Except for a few select sites like Vimeo and I think You Tube, you will see that you can only share the audio to your TV, not the video. I'm having you do these first three steps just to prove the video is not compatible with Airplay sharing.
    4. Now go to vimeo.com and play a video. I'm not sure this works with every video, so try out this one (don't worry, it's rated G): http://vimeo.com/14853945 When I played it I had HD selected so HD was highlighted in blue. Tap to share to your AppleTV (you should in this case be able to share both the audio and the video).
    5. Now go back to that same website you were at before, tap the same movie to play it, and then tap to share to your AppleTV over AirPlay. This time around, you'll notice that you can in fact share both the audio and the video to your TV. However, after around 15 seconds or so it kicks you off so you are no longer able to share that video to your TV.
    I think that's interesting. Does anyone know why that would be? My guess is that it's because once you can share anything you want from the web to your TV, you might no longer need to receive any cable broadcast, and, as an example, if you watch CNN on your TV straight from the Web, CNN doesn't get any money from that, whereas if you watch over cable or satellite, they already have an arrangement whereby the cable/satellite providers pay royalties back to the various TV networks for the right to distribute their content to our televisions.
    However, I think it's already possible to share anything from the web to your TV, even on an iPad, right? I believe that that digital AV adapter allows you to fully mirror whatever is on your iPad to your TV already, doesn't it? If that's the case, why bother blocking the functionality via Airplay when we already have the option via an HDMI hookup?
    This is all very interesting to me. My stepdad thinks in ten years the broadcasting landscape will have totally changed the way we watch TV. Rather than pay Comcast or DirecTV to distribute your content, you will access your content through a tablet or other device which you would then have mirrored on your TV.
    I think my stepdad's wrong. I give it two years. Two years from now I think many of us will no longer pay Comcast or DirecTV for our content, and aside from sports and news, there will no longer be a schedule for when a program is on TV. Everything will be on demand. It's pretty much that way now anyway for anyone who has a DVR.

    Thanks for all of the commentary. I posted this before I received my iPad2. I now have an iPad2 and while I've successfully mirrored it to my TV, I find it useless for mirroring anything other than video (because webpages, etc. look like crap on the TV) and the mirroring only works about half the time, if that.
    At least half of the time when I plug the digital AV adaptor into the back of my iPad2, I get nothing on the TV. I think this is because it's a really long HDMI cable (cuz who wants to have to sit right next to your TV?) and I run it through an HMDI hub because my TV only has one HDMI input and I need 3-4 HDMI inputs (one for my DVR, one for my AppleTV, one for my HD camera, one for my DVD player and one for my iPad if I want to mirror it, which I won't if it continues to be so inconsistent).

  • How can I record a QuickTime video clip of in-game action?

    I've seen video reviews of games from time to time that show actual video clips of a game being played. The ability to record video clips of a game would come in very handy for me, because I'm experiencing a bug in the graphics of Call of Duty 2 that I would like to record and send as a file to Aspyr. However, I'm not sure how to record a movie of the game. (A screenshot is not sufficient.)
    Can anyone give me an idea of what software to use to do this? Or do I just have to film my computer screen using my digital camcorder?
    Thanks!

    Like Mr. Napoli wrote, Snapz Pro X is probably your best bet.
    It's made by Ambrosia Software, and at only $69.00 -- for it's quality -- Snapz Pro X isn't very expensive. I haven't purchased it yet, but I've used the demo. It's easy to use, with a lot of customization available. You can download a free demo from the right side of the main Snapz Pro X page here [ http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ] or purchase it from a link on the same page.
    I would suggest downloading the free demo and trying it out, then deciding if you'd like to purchase. Any video recorded in the demo has a blue watermark "Unregistered Version Of Snapz Pro", but I believe that the demo is fully functional.
