Artwork won't stick for videos

Hello, all!
When I install new artwork for videos, it simply doesn't stick. Even when using third party software like MetaX.
Until a few months back it used to work, so I've no idea what's going on! Files are JPEG as before...
Does anyone have an idea of how this could be fixed??!
Many thanks!

Am having a similar problem.
This afternoon (UK) I ripped two DVDs and added them to my iTunes folder. No problem. One I right-mouse clicked and did Get Info and then added a JPG that I saved from Amazon. No problem.
The second movie I do the same exercise, it adds it to the Get Info and when I click OK it reverts back to the original one. And this is the same JPG as the other one (they're parts 1 and parts2 of a DVD set).
Most odd.

  • Manually added artwork won't stick anymore.

    I can get it added but it's not persistent. It goes away as soon as I go away from the particular album.
    This used to work. I've added lots of manual artwork for the album covers. But somewhere with new releases of software it broke. I'm on the current version of Itunes but can't tell you exactly what version used to work.
    I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes as recommended by support but it didn't help.
    Is anyone else having problems with their manually added artwork?

    Adding artwork to songs and other items
    Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. *You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library.*
    *You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop. You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.*
    In list view (the leftmost View button), to display artwork for the currently selected item, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button (in the bottom left of the iTunes window):
    Make sure the artwork you import into iTunes is a compatible format. If your personal movie is a WAV file, it must be converted to another format before artwork can be added.

  • Artwork tab greyed out for video

    I created a movie in iMovie, then clicked File > Share > iTunes to load the movie into iTunes.  Within iTunes, the movie appears as a H.264 M4V file.  So far, so good.
    When I click Option - Get Info within iTunes to edit the tag data, the Artwork tab is greyed out.  I can edit all the other tag data, but I cannot add an image in the Artwork tab.  Any ideas how to un-grey the Artwork tab?
    FYI that I can access the Artwork tab for other movies that I created in iMovie.  So it generally works ok, but for some reason it's not working for the movie that I created this week.
    I am using OS X Yosemite with the most recent versions of iMovie and iTunes.

    I ran the iMovie output file thru Handbrake to produce a new H.264 M4v file, then loaded it into iTunes.  I now can edit all the tag data, including artwork, on the new file.  Still don't know why the first file did not work, but at least I have a work-around ...

  • HT5278 i did this update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though! ne1

    i did the ios5.1.1 update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though, and for my alarm. ne1 else had these problems?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

  • ITunes Movie Artwork Issue For Videos Purchased From iTunes

    There appear to be a number of different issues with iTunes and Movie Artwork but my issue seems to be a little different – and I have a workaround for it – so I thought I'd post it here in the hope that it will save someone else some time.
    Config:  iMac 27" / Latest Mountain Lion / Itunes 11 *in 64 bit mode*
    Issue:  HD movies purchased and downloaded in iTunes won't let me add artwork.  I use 'get info' on the movie in question, select the artwork tab, and then drag a picture across from Google Images.  It appears to work fine.  I collapse the 'get info' window.  To check to see if the artwark was saved, I use the 'get info' command on the same movie.  The artwork is not there.  It was not saved.
    Additional Info:
    1.  I have no problem adding artwork (using the exact same process) to any movies that I've ripped from DVDs using Handbrake.
    2.  I discovered that the movies in question that I downloaded wouldn't play when launched from iTunes.  The failure message said that playback required Quicktime.  I have old and new versions of Quicktime on my Mac.  Didn't seem to make sense.  I researched the failure to play problem and the workaround for that also fixed my artwork problem. 
    Workaround:
    1.  Quit out of iTunes.
    2.  In the applications folder, find iTunes, right click the app file and select 'get info'.
    3.  Tick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".  Collapse the 'get info' window.
    4.  Open iTunes.
    5.  Launch the movie in question.  If you get a failure message, just hit 'cancel'.  The movie will open and begin playing, likely with no sound.
    6.  Quit the movie.
    7.  Select the movie in question and do 'get info' on it.
    8.  Select the artwork tab and drag your artwork into the blank window.  Collapse the 'get info' window.
    9.  Repeat steps 5 through 8 for all the movies you've had trouble with.
    10.  Repeat steps 1 through 4, but this time untick the box that says "open in 32 bit mode".
    All your artwork should be ok now, and you should be able to make changes for those files from this point on without using this workaround.
    So - my question is, does anyone know why there is an issue with 32-bit vs 64-bit and if there is a way to fix it so this workaround isn't needed?
    Cheers.

    I am having this same problem ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.x. When I was using 6.x, the videos displayed fine but after the upgrade, they were no longer viewable. The audio is skipping and I only receive flashing colors in the panel where the video should be displayed. I am currently using iTunes 7.5 and not only a problem with video display but also can not view album art in the Cover Flow display. Only a series of different colored squares where the album should be displayed. I have two Sony Vaios one works and one does not. The Vaio PCV-RZ34G with 1GB RAM does not work but a Vaio VGC-RB53 with 512MB works fine. I have searched for video driver updates and have not found any solution. The problem only seems to appear with any video played with Quicktime. Video played with other video applications works fine. I have just lived with no quicktime video or cover flow on the PCV-RZ43G. This has been an excellent system with the only problem being the video conflict with quicktime.

  • IPhone screen won't flip horizontally for videos

    After I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 my screen won't flip horizontally for video clips. It does flip for YouTube but not for music videos.
    Please fix!!

    This is ridiculous.  Half the time it will go horizontally to a song that isn't even playing.  The other half of the time it's a tiled screen with album covers.  They have the most stupid things that don't work right!

  • Password for icloud won't stick on iPhone 6

    Settings for icloud repeatedly ask me to enter AppleID Password - it won't stick. I have been noticing lately that it seems to disappear when moving out of wifi and changing over to LTE or even sometimes 4G areas. I've done all the resets, and signed out and into iCloud re-entering my Apple Id & password numerous times. It still disappears after short time. At present I'm unsure whether it happens when in wifi area all the time or not. It's frustrating when every time I reply to an email or txt it asks me to enter A-ID-Psswd-; then I hit cancel and can go ahead and finish the email or txt. I also a few times during the time this box popped up, went into iCloud settings and again the psswd had disappeared!
    I've had this iPhone6 (64GB) for 10 days and it has newest 8.1.1 and this prob has been happening from the beginning.

    It stopped with 8.1.2 update to iOS
    UPDATED INFO: It's back. I called Apple Help desk and they said it's built into iph 6, that the box for password stays blank but the info is STORED INSIDE THE PHONE somplace, so it's really there, even tho' it doesn't appear that it is.
    So even tho' the password box is blank, it's not asking me for the password anymore like it did in the past.

  • Artwork for Video Podcasts

    Is there any way to force iTunes to show embeded artwork for video podcasts in the podcast list? Right now it shows little previews of a random frame of the latest episode. Not only is that uninformative — makes it difficult to find a particular podcast, — but also bad for my OCD.
    Thanks.

    Well, that's the thing: all the video podcasts in my collection have artwork assigned when I look them up in iTunes Store. For example: the official Apple Keynotes podcast, Diggnation, Tekzilla, etc. But in iTunes, they — and every other video podcast — all show a still frame instead of artwork.
    All the audio podcasts in my collection display their respective artwork just fine.

  • Coverflow artwork for video podcasts

    How do you set the artwork for a video podcast so it will show within the itunes library? I'm not talking about the end user setting the artwork but the podcast creator. Seems that itunes uses the first frame of video as a default but I have seen other video podcasts have a specific picture, not the first frame of video, as their artwork. Example, subscribe to Creative Cows Final Cut Pro Podcast and there is a picture in your podcast library.
    Here is my xml file
    http://www.ci.lakeville.mn.us/podcasts/meetings/podcast.xml
    I use Lemonz Dream's "Podcast Maker" to create the xml files.

    No bites on this one yet? . . . Okay, I'll have a go.
    So what you want to do is set the artwork for your podcast . . . Fairly easily done, but you first need to understand something about artwork for your podcast FILE versus artwork for your feed XML. (They are two completely separate things!) In the case of what you want, your XML code (and the artwork linked therein) doesn't matter because it doesn't affect the podcast file once it has been put into a podcatcher of some sort (e.g. iTunes). The artwork from your XML is only really of use to the iTMS and sundry web readers. So, have no worries about what method/program you are using to create your code or the validity of your file.
    To set/change an individual episode's artwork you actually have to edit the .mov (or whatever) file. Hold on - that's not as scary as it may sound. First, do you already have the artwork that you want to use? Or do you want to capture a "good" frame from your video and use that? If you already have artwork, awesome. If you want to use a certain frame from your video, all that you need to do is play your video and freeze it on the desired frame and take a screen capture. (To take a screen cap, use Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen on a PC; or Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4 on a Mac -- crop it if needed, and save the file as a jpeg/gif.)
    After you have your desired artwork lined up, all you need to do is open your .mov in iTunes. Right- or Ctrl-click on the file, and select the option "Get Info." A window should come up - the last tab will say "artwork." Select the artwork tab, select and delete the pre-fab iTunes issue artwork, and then click "add." This will allow you to select the file of your desired artwork. After you've added the artwork, click "okay." Your file has been successfully modified, and is now ready to be uploaded!
    And ta-da, when someone downloads your podcast file, the artwork will show up when they play the file (or in coverflow). Why? Because the artwork is now part your video file, and it is included in the download of your podcast.
    More info, and possibly less confusion, about what is going on with this topic can be found here. (When you're reading it, just replace "MP3" with "MOV" in your head.)

  • Color profile won't stick.

    Since I installed a Matrox M9125 graphics card, colour profiles set in "Color Management" won't stick. The default "Device" for "Common Management" is "Display: Generic Non--PnP Monitor - Matrox M9125PCIe x16". When I select my actual monitor (NEC 2690) from the Device drop down list profiles appear - including one I have made using an Eye-One Display 2 - and I can set it as the default one. However, when I re-open "Color Management" the profile I just set is gone, the profile list is empty and the Device is back to the Generic PnP ...display etc.
    The profiles worked fine in my previous vga card (Nvidia) and stayed selected.
    I have Vista Ultimate 32Bit and CS3.
    Grateful for any help on this.

    Hi,
    I just want to sympathise with the China/Printer issue.
    Most of my artwork goes over there and I want to rip my hair out with every new job. Steve is right that we as artists really should go by the printer's specs, but when dealing with a language barrier, not to mention a 12 hour time difference it's so far been imposssible for me to do. I keep a Pantone color picker at my desk and manually enter in the CMYK values. It doesn't always work though.
    About your problem, the only thing I can think of is that you have images in your file that were RBG when placed in your file. It might not be what's going on, but something to check anyway.  
    Good luck,
    Cherie

  • Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

    After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes.  I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

    Here is the compatibility table
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

  • Mac mini as a server for video editing?

    Hi I have bit of networking experience as well as being a mac user for over 20 years. I am however at the moment stuck on finding a solution to our current workflow.
    We are a small production company and have the following:
    (1) 2013 iMac
    (2) 2013 Macbook Pro's
    (1) Belkin thunderbolt hub
    (8) Firewire HD's
    (2) Thunderbolt drives
    (1) Thunderbolt Raid
    Here is what I need to do.
    We currently have a home office that has been hard wired directly to our Fiber connection. We have a DIA line and 5 static IP's. I have setup a switch in the office and running a direct connection from the fiber to it. From there each machine (including the hub) is connected. Each machine is setup with a static IP and can access the drives via the hub.
    My problem is the speed of connection to the drives. Its extremely slow for anyone plugged in besides the iMac. My thinking is to purchase a Mac Mini and set it up as a server with a Pegasus Raid attached (http://www.promise.com/storage/raid_series.aspx?m=192&region=en-global&rsn1=40& rsn3=47) that can be accessed by all the machines on the network.
    Is that all that I would have to do to be able to get each machine (and users from other locations who remotely login) access to the footage at a high rate of speed on transfer?
    I hope I've worded this correctly and that someone can help.

    I heavily use iTunes (190 GB), iPhoto (120 GB) and iMovie (30 GB, but want to do more when I get time).  Additionally, I store lots of old videos on circa 10 portable hard drives (1 TB each), which I access occasionally.
    The family use all this content and we currently have a MacBook Pro and are considering buying a new computer - either a new MacBook Pro or an iMac. We also have iPads, iPhones etc and a Time Capsule.
    […] We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
    The "update" portion of this is where your problems will arise.  You'd be better to consider your proposed system initially in terms of content "consumption", before getting into the nitty-gritty of editing shared content.
    iTunes has the Home Sharing feature built-in, which solves the content consumption issue.
    I don't know anything about sharing iPhoto libraries, but this KB article looks useful.
    As for iMovie, I think there are two things you want to do: share the raw data (sound effects, music, photos etc.) that are used to create iMovie content; and share the finished results.  Is that right?  I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that, but if you clarify your aims in this regard, it'll help the next person who comes along.
    When it comes to updating content, such as adding new music to iTunes or iPhoto, I'd suggest you do it through the Mac mini directly.  This seems the least problematic solution.  You wouldn't necessarily need a dedicated display for the Mac mini - you could use remote desktop or VNC or what-have-you.
    As for speed: doing anything across a network is always going to be slower than doing it locally.  But, it probably won't matter for content consumption (though if you're all watching different movies at the same time the drives on the server may struggle, and the wifi bandwidth might be tight).
    I hope this represents a good initial response to your query.

  • Multiple Hard Drives for Video Editing with Premiere Elements 8?

    I'm using Premiere Elements 8 for video editing. These are the specs I'm using:
    The camcorder I used to shoot the footage is a Sony Handycam with  model number HDR-SR12. It's a digital HD video camera recorder that  shoots in NTSC 1920x1080i HD  recording. The footage was shot with AVC  HD  9M (HQ), which records in higher image quality mode. The  video  camera is connected to my computer through a USB cable.
    The  computer  itself is a Windows 7 desktop computer. The CPU is an HP  Pavilion Elite  HPE-150f PC with Intel Core i7-860 processor. I imported  the video into  Premiere by selecting "File" --> "Get Media From"  and then choosing the third  option from the top.
    My import  option is NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel, which matches the  specs of the camera I shot the footage with.
    Even with the patch 8.0.1 that should be preventing crashing, the program keeps crashing upon startup with one specific video project. Using the exact same video files for that project, I recreated the video, with Elements, and never ran into the problem. Both times, I had the patch installed.
    At the moment, I am using only the single internal hard drive for everything (software, OS, video editing, etc.). It is 1 TB in size. However, I am informed that one hard drive is not recommended for video editing, and that I need at least two hard drives, one for OS and one specifically for video editing. I was also informed of FireWire 800 and eSata; however, it does not appear that my computer supports eSata.
    Can this problem be resolved if I have an external hard drive and connect it to my computer with FireWire 800 (which the computer supports)? If not, what can be done so this problem doesn't arise in the future?
    Thanks for the help.

    When you import the footage is there a red line across the whole of the timeline?

    As you have the recreated project working fine I'd be inclined to put this down as a one-off glitch. If it happens again on a different project then it may be more worrying. You may want to consider using save-as to create multiple versions of your project (note this does NOT duplicate the source clips - so you won't be eating up much extra disk space). You could for example use save-as to create a daily version - ProjectName-Mon, ProjectName-Tue etc....

  • What Macbook Pro to get for video editing?

    For software like adobe after effects cs5, what macbook would be the best, I have pretty limited money so is the base model ok? if not whitch one works well?
    Thanks!

    The top end non-retina, 15" anti-glare is the best. SSD preferred, has a Superdrive. RAM and hard drive upgradable later by the user.
    The retina has a glossy screen which is hard on the eyes and using in various places, it's battery life is terrible and the images are not correct as it's blowing things up to mach the higher pixel rate. No Superdrive. You can't open the machine up, you can't clean the fans of dust you can't upgrade it later, you will have to max it out at purchase for a small fortune and go way over budget. Plus there really isn't too much difference in the quality of the screen with regular MBP's anyway, just eats battery life to drive that huge pixel screen. You'll be replacing it a lot sooner than the standard 15"
    Don't waste your money on the 13", it lacks a dedicated graphics, the CPU does it thus it's HOT. Won't 3D game well if your also into play.
    Top end 15" antiglare is perfect.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X0wo6dIsMU
    Actually the MacPro is the perfect choice of power and performance for video editing, with it's substancial cooling. But you want a laptop , just know things will take longr and the machien will be hotter as a result and wear out sooner if your doing 3D gaming or video often.

  • Which G5 for Video Editing?

    Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
    1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
    2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
    3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
    4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
    Thanks for your advice!
    G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.3.5)   Dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb Ram, 2 x 80 Gb ATA

    Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
    Get a Quad and get one fast, with a PPC machine you'll have lots of media copying freedom as you have control over your hardware. With the new EFI Mactels, trusted computing and HDCP coming you will not.
    Actually I wouldn't waste money on a PowerMactel machine until the whole "Blueray/HD-DVD" thing gets straightened out too, that's going to have a lot of baggage associated with it. When they do at least you'll have a Quad to be able to do things you won't be allowed on the PowerMactel w/BlueRay.
    Standard definition is going "bye-bye" in the US mandatory by 2009, mostly by 2007. You'll need to go HD as all the new TV sets being sold are HD/digital ready and all the content will switch as well. (HD Is really nice too, but eats hard drive space fast)
    1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
    Yes sure, but if time = money, you'll need CPU muscle to render faster and large RAM to burn faster.
    I say get a PPC Quad, a large stock drive with 16MB of cache and a Western Digital 150GB 10,000 RPM RaptorX for a boot/app and "bare bones" home drive, keeping your video on the large stock drive. Get yourself 4Gb of RAM or slightly more, install it yourself and save money by visiting Crucial.com. (no comp)
    2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
    Apple will support PPC based hardware for a long time, so will a lot of third party software makers because it's the majority platform. Not much software is available for the Mactel based machines, so PPC and the Quad is the best longterm professional choice at this time. I would also not get the stock card but the next one up.
    RAID you can play with later, rolling your own mini-raid set or if you have volume and require speed then a X-RAID.
    3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
    I had a 23", it's small, but it will do the job. A couple of inches increase won't make much of a difference IMO. If you got the bucks get a 30", it's awesome and better than two monitors as you don't need to turn your head back and forth. Just sit back and take it all in.
    Of course for standard video your going to need a standard monitor anyway for previewing.
    4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
    We just had one, Macworld, where the Mactels were announced, supposely Intel will release a 64 bit dual core around September, Adobe Photoshop supposely won't be ready with a Mactel version for another 14 months it's been estimated.
    Apple is working on universal versions of their apps, some are ready already.
