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")

Trying To Add UIScrollbar To Flash Website But FLA File Has No Layers

I was asked to add content to a flash website page... When I open the FLA file, there are aboslutely no layers for me to work with. I found an .as file that contained the page content and so I added the needed content there. But this is where I run into a problem. I'm fairly new to flash so perhaps this is common. After adding the additional content, the content now extends vertically and beyond the page borders. In doing research, I discovered that the solution is to change the TextField to "dynamic" and add a UIScrollbar during the build. I've learned to do this but the problem remains that I don't have any layers to modify for this particular website. Can someone explain why or how I can find the layers for this file? I am using Flash CS3... and unsure what version the original designer was using. I guess another option is to add a UIScrollbar to the website by modifying the .as file directly. Can this be done? Please help!

It appears that the only items in the library are movie clips and a couple bitmaps. Here is a screenshot of my FLA file when opened in Adobe Flash: http://www.flashvideopro.net/images/flash_screenshot.jpg. Any ideas from what you see? I'm fairly new to Flash, but I have never before opened up an existing flash file for a flash website without seeing the layers for the site. Apparantly there are different ways to create flash content? Could it be that the textlayer I am looking for is hidden in a movie clip? And if that's the case would this be editable? I menitoned in my original post that I can actually edit the page in the main.as page as you see in this image. But I have no clue how to add a UIScrollbar without having the textlayer in front of me. The FLA file I am trying to edit is for global and trendy links (dot) com.

Can't drag and drop Quicktime files into Adobe Media Encoder CS6

For some reason I can't drag Quicktime wrapped files into Media Encoder. I get this error message:
"The file [FILE PATH] could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the setting and try again."
I have the latest version of Quicktime installed on my system and the problem files open in QT Player without issue. Has anyone encountered this before or know of a quick fix?
I'm running CS6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere. Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
Yes, from Explorer.
Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
Actual clip.
Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
Yep, tried that. No luck. Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
Definitely only seems to be QT files. Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files. No luck. Files that are MP4 work fine.

I can't open Quicktime files from iPhoto

I can't seem to open Quicktime files from iPhoto. I try double-clicking but nothing happens.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

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.

Program to analyze quicktime files?

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble with our capture setup at work, the short version is that we get huge green pixel glitches in our captures from our DigiBeta to Final Cut Pro.
We're working on a solution, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone knew of a program, that can analyze a self-contained quicktime file?
It should be able to analyze each frame and report if there's any oddities in the file. For example to be able to find a green glitch in one frame of the capture.
It would probably report a lot of cuts and flashes if these are apparent in the file, but it would take a lot shorter time to catch these errors, than to watch the whole capture through.
Any help is appreciated!

Usually the big green glitches are clogged heads on the digi deck. That's pretty much a signature.
Never heard of such a file analyzer. could be useful, but there really is no substitute for watching your material through for errors. Then you can say you did it and rest easy knowing it left your facility in pristine condition.

Can't digitize or export QT files to our SAN (metaSAN)

We've suddenly hit a huge problem where we can't digitize or export QuickTime files of any size to our SAN volumes (under metaSAN v.4.6) but we can digitize/export them to local drives or networked drives. This seems specific to QT files (other file types do work) and is happening on every one of our edit systems (5 in all). Behavior is file digitizes/exports, but is immediately listed as offline and can't be opened by QT. File also has no icon preview.
We've isolated this down to being only a QT and metaSAN problem. If anyone reading this has seen this same issue please reply.

Talk to the mfr.
The chances someone here has that specific issue is slim, very few SAN users at all.
we realize and of course we started tech support conversations with the manufacture (who were unavailable at the time) and posted on forums more specific to SAN related issues... but in an effort to cover our bases and since only FCP/QT files were effected by this... I chose to post here as well.
QT files are just files so without you patiently telling us how you arrived at your decision that is isolated we'll have to stick with "not likely."
we tested numerous apps writing many different file types. the only file type that could not be open after written were QT from FCP. we did many tests to rule out variables.
For the issue to be universal implies your network is messed up; there is nothing in the OS that would suddenly decide QT files cannot travel over Ethernet.
we are talking about a fibre network, not ethernet. and yes... it's specific to our SAN network because we were able to write files locally and across afp to other networked drives. only the SAN volumes over fibre were behaving this way.
we have found a temporary solution... after attempts to restart the SAN network... we reinstalled the SAN software and this got us back to square 1. clearly the issue is related to the SAN software. we hope we don't see this issue again.

29.97 Quicktime files reading as 24

I have a project I am attempting to fix for a client. It looks as though one of her editors tried to convert 24p Quicktime files to 29.97 but Final Cut Pro and Quicktime are reading the files as 24p. The files when played in Quicktime play out with fields which leaves me to believe that the frames and the 3:2 cadence is correct I just need to get Final Cut Pro and Quicktime to read the files correctly.
Is there a program that can change something in the Quicktime files? Something that can act on a batch of files?
Any help is appreciated.

Any ideas at all about how the conversion was done? There no ways to go from 24p (or 23.98) to 29.97 by adding 3:2 pulldown, within the confines of Final Cut Studio, that I'm aware of. You can use Compressor 2 or later to make 23.98 files 29.97, but that creates new intermittant frames, it doesn't add pulldown of any kind. Also, you can 'retime' in QuickTime Pro, but that uses 2:2:2:4 pulldown (every 5th frame is simply a repeat of the frame preceding it).
Does the audio play OK?

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

Safari 5.0.5 Unable To Play QuickTime Files, and Less Sites Can Be Opened

Not a day goes by, where I have to once or twice switch to Firefox to open quicktime files, or in some cases, open the site. I understand that each website has to be set-up in a certain way, but, it's, sort of ironic, not to be able to open a QT(Apple)file with Safari. This would happen every once an awhile, now it's a daily occurrence. These are always new pages(To me), not something visited before. Are fewer and fewer sites supporting Safari? Just curious.

Thank you for your reply.
From what I can determine after accessing this website that requires JRE 1.4.2_12, the registry has been updated by JRE 1.5.0_10. All the clsids for all JREs have been updated to point to c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\ssv.dll.
Example:
CAFEEFAC-*0014-0002-0012*-ABCDEFFEDCBA\InprocServer32 points to c:\Program Files\Java\jre*1.5.0_10*\bin\ssv.dll.
I've seen a few postings where setting the EnableSecureStaticVersioning stops JRE 1.5.0_10 from dynamic versioning but I am unable to get that to work. One posting said to set it in HKCU and HKLM but that does not work either.

you can't , you need to import to flash and save it as SWF,
there is no way
to load it dynamically or preview it with flash. Has to be
part of the flash file.

Random Flashing Color Bars within Quicktime Files during RAM Preview Only

I have been getting random color bar flashes within quicktime files in AE CC during RAM previews using Multi Processor rendering. Files other than .mov seem to not have this issue (although I have seen it twice...though it may be due to quicktimes in the comp). The rendered output using MP rendering is completely fine. If I turn off MP rendering the ram preview is fine. The source material is coming off a RAID 5 at 600-800MBs, I have moved the footage to a local SSD and a standard spindle drive with the same results. I have tried everything.....disabling GPUS in preview, disabling Fast Adaptive Preview, Disabling Disk Cache, Adjusting MP settings and RAM usage per core, disabling hardware accelleration of interface, adjusting gpu memory useage, every codec under the quicktime wrapper including uncompressed codecs, updating Blackmagic drivers, updating quicktime, limiting how many processors Windows 7 64bit can see, resetting AE preferences. I even installed After Effects clean on my second boot drive for gaming with no plugins or other apps, same issues. Have discussed this heavily with tech support at Adobe and they are working on it for a few days before getting back to me. When I got off the phone the tech was of the mind that I have too many cores for the Quicktime codec to handle.
My system :
Windows 7 64bit
Dual Xeon E5-2687W: 16 Physical cores and 32 cores with Hyperthreading
32GB 1866 DDR3
3xNvidia GTX 680 4GB cards
SSD boot and seperate SSD media cache drives
8TB internal SAS RAID 5 using a ATTO card
Blackmagic Deckline Extreme 3D+ card
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this is a huge boon to my workflow. Having purchased a $12K system for grading and rendering....not being able to use the ram preview in AE with multiple cores is a huge inconvenience.

Here is the requested taskmanager screenshot. As my test comp only has a single duplicated quicktime in it, it renders too fast to really catch the AE instances doing anything. So this is from a heavier comp. Settings are as pictured above with 3GB per core using 8 total cores of the 32. It did flash the bars.
Here is what I tried tonight:
- Followed the link on Quicktime having trouble with too many processors. Using MSCONFIG I dropped the recognized Processors to 21, 16, and 8 and tested all three settings. Each had the flashing bars issue. Again as usual, at random, sometimes 3 previews before showing up, sometimes the first preview run. I have noticed that the ram previews that take a little longer seem to be clean. Then sometimes it seems to fly through the preview, grabbing large chunks on the green progres bar above the timeline, or many little chunks very quickly....these are usually the preview runs that will show the flashing bars. I make a point of purging the cach between each one so it doesn't remember, plus I have disk media cache off, but sometimes I get the feeling it's remembering bits.
- I removed all the Quicktime Components from the QTComponents folder and tested it. Flashed the very first run without any quicktime components.
- Followed the Firewall or TCP instructions and made sure everything was allowed through ZoneAlarm. However I could not find the QT32 Server listed anywhere or figure out how to add it. No matter because I closed and force quit all of the firewall processes as well to make sure. Still flashed.
- I followed all the advice on the landing page for Quicktime-related problems
- I also tested out ram previews again thourougly with the same clip but converted to a Tiff sequence. No matter what I tried there was never any flashing in the ram preview with tiffs.
- I also re-tested the clean render output. Made a ram preview with the flashing bars, then without purging rendered it out to a quicktime file and there were no bars at all in the rendered output. I even tried duplicating this render output 6 times in the render queue and rendered them all at once. Not a single one had a flashing bar frame. I even played all 6 1080P uncompressed 4.2.2 YUV 10bit pieces off the RAID with no dropped frames or hichups.
- Killed every process in the taskmanager but for essential windows processes and the flashing bars were still present
- Set the priority to Real-time for every AE process including Adobe QT32 Server, Dynamiclinkmanager, and all the AE processes. Still flashed.
I am now considering disabling two of my GPUs in the device manager. However I'm a bit worried about disabling the wrong one and being locked out. Any thoughts? Is the computer to powerful for some process somewhere? Why only in RAM preview? Thanks again.

Can anyone contribute some inputs for creating flash website?

Basically Iam new to flash actionscript3.0, I am plannning to create Flash website. I need some help from anyone like creating button events, getting url, loading dynamic text etc. If you can pls share useful source file which is helpful for me.
Thanks,
Habib

As a relative newbie to Flash myself I'd simply recommend getting stuck in and messing about, find out how to do each individual thing as you come up against it. Don't be scared off by the new environment, if you just dive in you'll be up and running in no time Oh and don't expect the first thing you make to be of any real use - create something just to mess about in then start over once you know what you're doing a bit more.
I found this collection of videos very helpful in getting up and running:
