Automating a quicktime file in an email

Is it possible to make a quicktime file automaticly start playing its content when the email it is a part of is opened?

No it’s not possible.
The display of a received email is entirely in the hands of the software settings on the receiver’s machine. These days - for security reasons - sensible people have set their email to do nothing without User action.

FCPro to Quicktime file - Error attaching to Email

I exported a FCPro sequence to Quicktime. Now I'm trying to email that Quicktime file to someone, but I'm getting an error message -"that it cannot be added until all files already attached are finished uploading" - yet I can watch the sequence on Quicktime. I need any advice as I have to get this project out. Thanks!

sounds like you are using a webmamil interface which only allows you to upload one file at a time. Which means the message probably means exactly what it says - another attachment on that message has not finished uploading.
If an upload has stalled, try creating a new message. There is probably nothing about your QT file that would cause this issue.
Hope this helps -

PDF attachments in Mail play like QuickTime files

This is really off the wall and a problem for which I have searched, without success, for an answer.
Using SL and Apple Mail, when I receive an email from one other Apple user, with a .pdf file attached, the first page of the .pdf file opens in Mail and when you get to the bottom of the first page of that email, you are presented with a slider, as in the type on which you click to play a QuickTime file. Click on it and subsequent pages of the .pdf file flash by, one after the other, too quick to read.
To see what I mean, look at the screen shot I took of the bottom half of one of his incoming emails.

Is this weird or what?
Any suggestions, observations, thoughts??
Thanks

Thank you, Linc. I have followed your advise and downloaded Tinker Tool and changed the preferences as suggested. I haven't tested it yet, though. If it doesn't solve my problem, I'll so advise. If it does, I'll be hitting the "This solved my question" button.
Still getting acquainted with Lion. I'm sure I'll have more questions.

How can I split a QuickTime file in two?

8/21/2006. How can I split a QuickTime file in two? I saved a two hour videotape converted by PYRO A/V LINK to iBook G4 combo into a file of 24.5 Gb, and I saved to QuickTime into 536 mgs. Of course, it took half a day. When I went to copy it as video (536 mgs) onto a CD of 700 mg capacity, Toast 7 said it required 1100 mgs and couldn't do it. I have QuickTime Pro, got just recently. I would be very happy to learn how to split it, so to copy each of the split pieces onto 2 CD's, for my own purposes. Many, many thanks. Chuck Yopst.

Kirk, Thanks for your post Monday 8/21. Interesting how things worked out. I split the OuickTime file--of my retired uncle Church of the Brethren pastor's 50th wedding anniversary, and came up with two folders. Each contained four more folders, and inside folder Mvseg was file Avseq.dat which contained the video material and, when double clicked, started playing that half of the story on Windows 98SE. It just so happens that my uncle's PC operating system is a Windows 98SE. All this from QuickTime 7.0 which Windows 98SE would play the audio but not the video. Then a week later, yesterday in fact, in looking through iDVD help I found your solution, which heretofore I had no idea of. I had to go into System Preferences--Hardware--CDs & DVDs, and set these for "Open with 'Ask what you want to do'." The factory settings were to "open these when inserted" without that "Ask"ing. So then I was able and did follow your solution and it worked, but as a single QuickTime file, playable on Windows XP and Windows 2000 and Macintosh but not Windows 98SE. So everything worked out well. And thank you again. Chuck Y

Corrupted Quicktime file, CHKDSK issue

Hi there,
I have a corrupted/unreadable Quicktime file, so I can't uninstall it or reinstall a new version until I get rid of it or fix it. I'm trying to run CHKDSK, but it won't run on reboot. I went into Task Scheduler, and the log says it fails to run because of "Login failure: Unknown user name or bad password". When I go into the properties of the scheduled task, I have "Run whether user is logged in or not" selected, so I don't know what else to do...

Hi, bozzah
I probably can do it.
I will need two things:
A sample of your corrupted file and a 10 seconds good recording done with the exact same settings as the corrupted file.
Drop me an email and I explain you the details.
Regards, BJ

Hyperlink to quicktime file?

Can you hyperlink to a quicktime file in keynote?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
Keynote only allows hyperlinks for websites and email addresses. You can, of course, put a QuickTime file directly on a slide. Alternatively, if you need to link to the file for some reason, you can turn on your local webserver (in the OS X System Preferences, under Sharing), put the QT file in your web file folder, and access it through the appropriate URL. Doing this will open your web browser to show it, however.

Can a flash website launch quicktime files?

Hi
I am not really familiar with what options are available for
video but would appreciate some advice on what is achievable. Does
the server always need to be enabled in some way to run any type of
flash video, if so can flash launch quicktime files?
Many thanks
Tristram23

If your question is to whether Flash can load QuickTime into
a swf, the
answer is no. Flash can load Flash Video (.flv)
If your question is whether Flash can launch a QuickTime
movie, use
getURL("yourMovie.mov")

Attach File to New Email (Thunderbird)

It's easy to attach a file to an email using Apple Mail, but I use Thunderbird. How do I get it to work with Thunderbird using automator?

I don't use Thunderbird, but at last check it wasn't accepting attachments passed on the mailto: URI, so whether it's set to your default mail app or not won't make much difference. The latest release does support, however, passing attachments on the command line:
/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -compose attachment='/path/to/attachment'
But I can't see how to make this useful without having to quit and re-start the app each time your script runs. This was discussed with more detail in a recent thread.

Audio sync problem after saving to QuickTime file

Hi there, I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere - I'm not quite knowledgeable enough about video editing to really use it to its full potential but needed something more flexible than Windows Movie Maker. I haven't had any problems before editing smaller files, but am having tons of trouble with a 2.7 gig file.
I'm trying to take a 2.7GB .MOV file recorded on a Kodak Zi6 and divide it into three roughly equal parts to use an email sharing service that has a maximum file size of 1GB (I know that there are sites that will allow 3GB files and I wish I could use them, or use an FTP server, but the person who needs the video needs it to be sent over his own company's file sharing system). It was recorded on an 8GB SD card, that SD card was put into my computer, and I then transfered it over to Premiere Elements 8.
I rendered the entire file first (it wouldn't even play until I did that) and after rendering, the audio and video were good and everything was synced up. I then split the clip into three and saved each as a separate project. Then I opened one up again and tried to save as a Quicktime file (that's what the person I'm sending it to requested). All seemed to go well, and for the first minute or so of the 15 minute clip everything is great. Then after that, the audio gets more and more out of sync as the video plays on. I tried playing it on several different players, same thing.
My computer (a Cyberpower PC) is running an Intel Core i7 CPU, 870 @ 2.93GHz 3.06 GHz; 8 GB of RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285; Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not sure where to get the rest of the information requested in the "How to best ask for help" post but if you can give me some guidance I'll find it.
The presets are on the defaults because I wasn't aware of them until I came to this forum. Happy to try the whole process again if someone can tell me what the presets should be changed to.
I'm looking for a solution to this particular problem, but am also looking for some basic help about files. The files that I used most often usually come from a Kodak Zi6 (.MOV) or a Flip Mino HD (MPEG4 I think; had to convert those to something else to use them in Premiere at all). I have AVS Video Converter 6, so I can convert those files to pretty much anything. I'm wondering what I should convert files to before trying to edit them in Premiere, and how best to save them. I rarely use the files anywhere but online if that helps (this particular 2.7GB file being a big exception) at a maximum width of 550 pixels, so I don't think I need the quality to be all that great; it's more important to me to be able to work a bit quicker, without rendering that takes hours.
I'd also love to take advantage someday of some of the more advanced features of Premiere, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials that will walk me through things in a linear way (as in, start from the beginning and teach me what I need to learn before moving on to something more complicated).
Thanks so much for your help, and please speak slowly; I'm in over my head!

Very well-done post, and welcome to the forum.
First, many have issues with OOS (Out Of Sync) with QT files on Export/Share. This is not just with PrE, but PrPro also. Unfortunately, OOS is pretty easy to fix, when you encounter it on the Timeline, but almost impossible to fix when it creeps in during Export. As an aside, I fought some MPEG Audio from a client, that was perfect in the Timeline, but when Exported to MPEG-2 for DVD-Video, ALWAYS went OOS dynamically, and even adjusting for that on the Timeline (rather guessing how much OOS the other direction I needed,) just flat would not do it. Sync would be fine for awhile, and then suddenly start going out, before miraculously returning to sync with the next Clip. Never could get that one correct.
In your MOV Export/Share, I am not certain which CODEC you chose. Was it H.264?
Within the MOV "wrapper," did your recipient give you any options for the enclosed CODEC's, or is the wrapper and the file size the determining factors?
Wish that I had more to offer directly, rather than questions.
As for the tutorials, I strongly recommend Steve Grisetti's Learning Series, his Boot Camp and his many articles and general PrE tutorials on Muvipix. He also has several books, available there too.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cant play Quicktime files in IE7/Firefox After upgrading to Quicktime 7.5.5

After upgrading to 7.5.5 I cannot view quicktime files on the apple site using internet explorer 7 or firefox 3.01.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted etc but no change.
Any clues? am I all alone here?
Message was edited by: timsmyname

Anyone with answers please reply because I am suffering from the same problems after reformatting and reloading OEM software and upgrading to current. I thought she had gotten infected from chain emails because of repeated blue screen shutdowns only to find that Quicktime 7 is causing the conflicts.

Why can't I attach files in an email instead of having them embedded?

Can't figure out how to attach files in an email. They always come up embedded. I need to send files to someone to edit them. Help please.
I'm sure this is an easy fix.
Using Leopard on a MacBook Pro and Iphoto 08
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can. Control-click on the embedded photo and select View as Icon from the menu.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

"Notching" a quicktime file and getting color to recognize it.

I am long time TV/Film editor with some good technical background. I am little stumped how to get FCP & Color 1.5 to do what I want.
What I have are a number of Quicktime files of already competed shows. Now I want to do shot to shot color correction. The manual solution which works is to simply go back and blade the entire timeline at each shot. This new sequence passes fine into Color 1.5. However since I have a number of these QT movies, I would much prefer to find an automated solution.
I have downloaded trial versions of Scene Detector and and Tokai. They both seem to do an adequate job of detecting shot to shot. With Scene Detector, I can can output an XML file and an EDL. Importing the XML back into FCP7, I get a 'new' master clip with the right video and a whole new series of Markers which are on the cuts. As for EDL's made from Scene Detector (there are 4 kinds) none can be imported in FCP7. More importantly, I can get neither the XML or EDL imported into color. I think I am creating a new color project each time but I am little uncertain. How can I tell if a Color Project is locked.
Using Tokai, I got something to import into Color 1.5 once, but now I can not repeat it. Using FCP, I can import a Tokai EDL, but its now just a a number of new clips in a timeline that won't link back up to the media (well I haven't figure that out).
Thanks
Doug

COLOR is designed to import QT's with CMX EDL's, but razoring the QT on an FCP timeline is how the roundtrip workflow gets established. It is not obviously advantageous, since it entails a bit of work -- but it allows you to make some choices that will make life in COLOR a little bit easier. Usually a CMX EDL will set up a series of "in-frame" events to define dissolves (since this is how it was done in the '80s when this approach was invented) -- but its not actually what you want to do in an NLE application. You will discover that grades cannot be pasted into keyframes, individual room corrections have to be pasted in, one at a time -- so its a tradeoff depending on how complex the finished video is.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

I have the newest imovie as i got a macbook for christmas, i have made a video and want to upload it to youtube and it is a quicktime file, but yet it is still taking ages to upload and youtube says if i change the format it will take less time,help?

I need help for how to upload a video on youtube when it is a quicktime file but how i change it to a streamable format in order for it to not take as long to upload, how do i do this?

I have the same issue. If you are exporting from iMovie version 10.0.1, I run into the same issues if I export directly to YouTube or if I export to file then upload to YouTube.
Google's help file doesn't properly address this problem and thier help is also out of date. In talking to a support rep at Apple, they said the export to YouTube should just work or the exporting to a file then uploading otherwise it's an issue for Google support.
If someone can post a solution that works (is a streamable format - which is different than the format that YouTube accepts as it will accept many formats but take a long time to process them), I'd be interested to hear also.
Thanks,
Rob.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.
