Can you Choose a Particular Frame for Quicktime Icon Preview?

Is it possible to choose a specific frame for a Quicktime file icon preview? A lot of movies start out with a black frame and the icon preview in Finder is therefore a black square. I would like to be able to choose the frame to use for the preview.

I don't know if this is possible (ask in the QT forum) but you can trim the movie with QT player to get rid of the black frame at the beginning of the movie. you can also take a screenshot of any frame you want and apply it as a custom icon to the movie.

  • Can you choose email address for autofill?

    Hi all,
    Searched and could not find an answer.
    Can you choose which email address you would like to autofill when completing a form (that is when you have more than one email address in your address card)?
    Thank you.

    Hello:
    I looked as well and could find nothing specific.  I suspect it picks the first one with no other options, but since I have only one, I cannot say for sure.

  • When your in Nike plus for listening to music whuffle music can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? Williams

    When in Nike plus mode to work out and listen to musi,  can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? All my other iPods do this and don't want to buy a new one if the 7th generation does the same?

    To be more specific - create a playlist that has only your Christmas music on it, then create a Smart playlist that has everything you want from your playlist plus one more rule, where the playist is not your Christmas playlist. Play randomly from your new smart playlist and you will be good to go.
    I have a playlist with some Christian music that I don't want to have on my normal playlist - at first, I tried to have two playlists (one with the Christian stuff and one with everything else), but this ended up being easier.

  • Can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?

    Hello all,
    So you make an event, and you can make Keyword Collections for that particular event, such as "WS" or "Person 1" or "Indoors"... But...
    What if those keywords apply to other events?
    I am making video content for a particular company. I shoot stuff one day import as an event. The only content that I produce is for this company, so you can imagine there are going to be similar themes across mutable events...
    As you know this is how it is organized >
    DRIVE
    >2012
    >Event
          >Keyword Collection
    This is how I want to get organized>
    DRIVE
    Master Keyword Collection
    >2012
    >Event
         >Keyword Collection
    > Here is an example of how I think It should be
    DRIVE
    "All Interior Shots"
    >2012
      > Event
         >Interior Shots
    So can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?
    Can some one please explain if is this is possible? If not please update!

    Andy,
    Yes you can but that feature only works if you are searching a single event (Pretty Cool/Useful), Creating a smart collection based on what you tick off in the dialogue box... You will get an error message if Searching the drive itself:
    LOL
    I did some playing around...
    I created a new event
    Then I ran a search, with Keywords ticked off, Ticking off mutable Keyword Collections.
    Then dragged the results into my new event.
    This in effect created "saved search results" but Final Cut started copying clips to that event folder that was created on my external HD. I was hoping that It would generate alias files...
    I also...
    Created a new project
    Ran the Search with Keywords
    Dragged all clips into the project..
    This also in effect created  "saved search results" but not really what I was hoping :/

  • Can you still open URL's within QuickTime and Lion ?

    Can you still open URL's within QuickTime and Lion ? the URL opening seems to have gone.
    I'm running Lion now and just noticed

    I actually tried that but it came up an error and movie could not be found (or words to that effect) I'll try again
    In case it still doesn't work for you, try this URL:

    It is a sample file posted yesterday fixing a Lion playback problem (Lion/QT X v10.1 doesn't seem to like having 2 active MP3 audio tracks present) which I just tested and is playing for me right now.

  • How can you change your security question for I tunes?

    How can you change your security question for I tunes?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

    Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

    I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.

    Can you trade in your iPad for another one???.......... If you can would you get your money back?????

    Generally, no.  You have 2 weeks from purchase.   But you have options. Www.gazelle.com will make you an offer. Sell it to them, then go buy what you want.  What is the issue?  Just trading for a different machine will get you only what you had in the first place.

  • Can you share the source code for Customer ToughDay stress test tool?

    Hello,
    I would like to try Customer ToughDay tool (http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/testing/tough-day.html) for load testing of our author instances of CQ5. While I am able to execute the application, the logging with log4j seems to be configured incorrectly.
    Can you share the source code for toughday-5.5.jar?  I think it can be a very good starting point for those of us who are new to CQ5 and need to load test it.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I don't believe there are any differences between the two versions. But you can check the source code for the Numeric Limit Test in TestStand\Components\NI\StepTypes\CommonSubsteps. But the main part of the step is the Code Module and this bit the users supplies this.
    What has prompted this question?
