Apple motion 5 template drop zones play only 1080p video clips. 720p will play outside of dropzone.

I am also getting a -1 error when trying to export with the 720p clip in a dropzone. I bought the clip stock and they didn't offer this one in 1080p. Is there any explanation as to why this clip will not run in the dropzone but does on the canvas?

You shouldn't be "loading" drop zones in Motion. You should be doing that in FCPX (as long as the drop zone source well is published.) You do not have to use Motion to "bake" video for import into FCPX. Install the template for FCPX [ place the effect folder in ~/yourHomeFolder/Movies/Motion Templates/<TypeOfEffect>/<CategoryFolder - create a new one if you want>/<place effect folder here> ]
The types of effects are Effects, Titles, Generators, Transitions.
The effect you bought came in a folder. That folder structure must be maintained for FCPX. That usually means: a Motion document (.moef, .moti, .motr or .motn file), 2 .pngs and a Media folder. If any of these are missing, it will not work in FCPX.
To use the drop zone in FCPX, apply the effect to the clip (or if it is a Title, place the title over the storyline); click on the Drop Zone source well, then click on the clip you want to apply to the drop zone from either the Event browser or the storyline. You'll see a "2-up" display, and you should see an "Accept" button in the viewer to finalize the application to the drop zone.
If you have the same problems in FCPX, let us know!

Moving Still Graphics in Motion Template: Drop Zones

I am new to this and it is probably a simple answer. I have a portrait JPG photo to add to a drop zone in a template. How do I adjust the photo only so that it will not cut off the top of the photo. I am using fit in the image properties. It works with stretch but that option distorts the photo and centre makes the photo selection even smaller within the drop zone. The photo is quite large. Do I have to reduce it's size first?
If I move the photo down with the selection tool it does not allow me to move the photo down without cutting off the rest of the photo outside the drop zone box. All I want to do is move the photo down so it fits within the drop zone so that I can see the bride and groom.

hi,
what is the aspect ratio of the drop zone? if it doesnt match your photo then you are going to have to compromise on something. You might lose some picture either at the sides or top and bottom, or maybe you see some blank around the picure.
As Patrick says its a waste of power having a large picture if you are going to reduce its size and pop it in a frame. Further to this you might want to preflight your image to be the right ratio for your drop zone.
Hope this helps

Help!! video clips won't play in slide show

I have a 40 minute Aperture slide show presentation that contains a few video clips (time-lapse videos, etc). It played well last summer. However, now that I am about to present the show tomorrow I can't get the video clips in the show to play. They have all been located and connected to the original files. If I double click on individual video clips they will play in the browser window but they won't play in my slide show. Any ideas? I'm in panic mode!
Aperture 3.4.5.

What happened since last yoear? Have you reinstalled the system at some point? Maybe you had last year additional video codecs installed? Flip4Mac, Perian?
Do your videos play in QuickTime Player, when your export them to the DeskTop?
Are your videos iPhone videos? In that case you may have a problem with
Also, if you recently run a cleaner utility that cleared the caches, you now may have a missing com.apple.xpchelper.cache in /System/Library/Caches .
This has been known to cause videos from stopping to play. This file will only be recreated by reinstalling MacOS X, but you can force its recreation by a Terminal command. See:

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem.

How to play a GP video clip on a PC

I cant play a GP video clip sent to me on my pc what download do i need and where can i get them

With "GP video clip" are you referring to the .3gp files that phone cameras usually save videos as?
If so, the Nokia PC Suite comes with a "View multimedia" app that can show them on Windows:
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
Apple's QuickTime player can also show the videos (on a PC running Windows or a Mac).
I should think that the latest RealPlayer can do it on PC's, too.

Showing Photos While Video Clips Continue to Play

I am trying to fade in photos while a video clip and its sound continue playing. (Although the video clip continues to play, it's obscured by the photo.)
Currently when I place a photo into the storyboard the video clips stop playing, the photo shows, and then the video starts again.
Does anyone know how photos can appear in my movie without interrupting the playing of the video and its audio?
Thanks!

Hi bcas and welcome!
You want to superimpose a still photo on a moving video? No problem!
But you need to buy Quicktime Pro. Here is how to do it (don't worry about the references to video within video, it works the same for stills - you will soon get the hang of it!
Organise the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in 1920 in the first box, and 1080 in the second, in Video Track 1. This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanred in 16:9 repeat for that track.
You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
Have fun!

Are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

Hi
Not understanding Your Question - I can only guess
.mov - are no specific Video Format (Codec) it is a container (read folder) and can hold Codecs many program can use and NOT.
QuickTime Player use to open many of them - try this and if it opens then Open Inspector [ cmd + I ] and read
• Video Format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnn
• Frame Rate: yyyyyyy
What does they say
When QT-Players don't open - I use VLC-Player (Google it and download for free). It use to take most of the Codecs.

Video clips won't play back after capture

I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

Problem playing some .wmv video clips in my C7..

Hello dear friends;
I just bought my new Nokia C7 mobile, everything is fantastic, i like this delightful device.. it has great many new features.. but i couldn't play some .wmv video clips.
I'm just wondering if there is a good media player need to install in mobile for playing this kind of format video clips.
thanks..

I don't know if CorePlayer has released a version for the C7 but this worked very good.
Another option is to connect the phone to PC and use Windows Media Center or WMP11 or later to SYNC the video to the C7 this should convert the video before tranferring and may solve the problem.
Otherwise you may need to convert the video from WMV to MPEG-4 or other format that's supported by the C7.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Playing MPEG-4 Video Clips

I am trying to import/play MPEG-4 video clips that I took from a new Sony HDD video camera. The clips play fine on any PC and are saved on an external hard drive. When I connect the external hard drive to my MacBook Pro I click on the icon and it says it can not play because it is not a movie file (even though it is a movie file). It will not open in the Finder or iMovie. What should I do?

There are millions of different ways that video is encoded. To decode these, you may need the appropriate "codec"
First thing I'd suggest is trying Perian
www.perian.org
This has lots of the encoding for different video types. Then try the video again.
Alternatively, Sony might be using another codec - although I'd be surprised if they used anything too odd. You could also try the DivX codec - but it may conflict with the one in Perian so I'd try that one first.
Best of luck

My E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip

hey guys, my E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip.. Someone tell me what should i do? Plz guys... I'm waiting 4 ur reply.

According to the Multimedia section at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E71/ , your phone should support some mp4's. But the solution is to get a better video player. There is always Coreplayer, which is supposed to be very good, but which I have never used, and is not free. A poster here /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/Nokia-E5-viewing-videos/td-p/1160745 recently recommended the free Divx player. Worth a try.

I can't play youtube videos. I will play for about 12 seconds, then stop, and restart over again. I tried youtube on IE and it works there. What do you suggest I do?

This problem can be solved selecting manually the video resolution.
