Change file type from BINARY DOCUMENT to QUicKTIME VIDEO?

Hi,
I'm using Bridge CS4 to help catalogue my Quicktime videos (captured via FCP into a capture scratch file) and for the most part it works well. The problem is it seems to list in the "type" column many of the videos as BINARY DOCUMENTS instead of QUICKTIME VIDEO which means I can't play or scrub through them in the preview window. Instead they appear as a single static frame. They still open up into a playable video though when double clicked.
Adding or removing the extension .mov seems to have no affect.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get them back into being recognized as QUICKTIME VIDEO?
Thanks!

Ooops, I just found the solution. Right-click on clip and select "Purge Cache For Selection", it changes all clips back to the right type.

  • How to change file type from .zip to .dock

    I would like to know how to change the saved file type (.zip) to other file types such as (.txt), (.doc), (.dock) or (.pdf).

    It's more complicated than just changing the name of the file to have a different extension.  What you have to do is to convert a file from one format to another.  To do that you have to use an application that knows how to open the original type and how to write the format of the new type.  The application to use for a given combination depends on the combination.  For example, the Preview applications knows how to read a JPG file and write the contents to a PDF file.
    A ".zip" file is a somewhat different case.  A ".zip" file is an "archive" that (generally) contains other files compressed within it.  If you double-click on a ZIP file, it should expand into the enclosed files.
    If you give specific examples of what you want to convert, people should be able to explain what to do.
    By the way, I'm not familiar with a file of type ".dock".  What is that?

  • Howto exclude file types from recent documents

    I'm using a recent documents stack but it will display a lot of garbage, so the real documents i' want to see there disappear quickly. for instance it would be useful to exclude access to:
    - system properties
    - zip, tar, tgz, rar etc kinda files
    - dmg

    Is there a way of setting up which file types i want to keep there and which files i don't want?

  • Windows BUG: Can't change file types through control panel Quicktime settings

    I am running the latest version of Quicktime on Viista Home Premium 64-bit.
    When I into Control Panel -> View 32-bit Control Panel Items -> Quicktime -> Browser, and I click on "File Types" or "MIME Settings", I get a blank page that looks like this: http://oi40.tinypic.com/hvbbia.jpg, and Quicktime momentarily freezes.
    I have no issue adjusting file type settings when bringing up Quicktime outside of control panel, or when using "Default Programs" within control panel, it's only when I do it within "View 32-bit Control Panel Items" that it does this.
    This is a minor bug but still weird. Can anyone else verify the issue? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.

    This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
    We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
    First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
    6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Users folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
    9. Open the AppData folder.
    10. Open the Local folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
    Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?

  • How to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file

    how to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file??
    thank you very much for your help=]

    I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
    Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

  • I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

    I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores.  Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
    While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

  • Changing file type API to open with Adobe Reader 9.2

    In windows XP, if I go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins, it shows the API extension to be File Type AcroExch.plugin
    This seems to be because Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed first on the PC, then Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC.
    On a clean PC, if I install Adobe Reader 9.2, then the file type becomes API file.
    How do I change the file type from AcroExch.plugin to API file?

    I want to do this because I have a 3rd party plugin which will not work otherwise.
    The 3rd party plugin is FileOpen Installer.
    http://plugin.fileopen.com
    If Adobe Reader 9.2 is installed on the PC first, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached JPG Adobe Reader 9 Plugin working.jpg
    FileOpen Plugin works with the above situation.
    Note that it is a 3rd party supplier which sends files which require the 3rd party Plugin FileOpen and a test document is here
    http://fileopen.bl.uk:8008/FileOpenFreeLink-1.0/entryPage.do;jsessionid=FADC8178CCD0236480 199338A79483E7
    If Adobe Acrobat 5.0 is installed on the PC first and the Adobe Reader 9.2, then the folder c:\program files\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\plug_ins looks like the attached Adobe Reader 9 Plugin Problem.jpg and the test file sent by the British Library above will not open.
    You get the following when you try to open the British Library test file (see British Library2.jpg)
    FileOpen is installed as a 3rd Party Plugin in Adobe Reader 9.2 and I can see this under Help About 3rd Party Plugins FileOpen Installer.
    (Note Adobe Acrobat 5 runs via a network install and is not installed onto the workstation so I can't remove it via Add/Remove Programs).
    So I am guessing the problem is to do with the API file type being different when Adobe Acrobat 5 is installed first?
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Old icons remain after changing file type association

    I have several video file types in my Movies folder: MPG, MP4, AVI, and MKV.  Many of the file types are automatically associated with Quicktime Player, (despite it being unable to process them, such as the AVIs).  Being unable to play my MKVs at all, I downloaded VLC player to supplement.  I have since grown to like the additional features of VLC, and would like to use it as my player of choice for all movie files.
    Changing the file type associations was simple enough, (Get Info -> Open With, Set as default for each file type), however the pre-associated files still retain their original QT icon.
    How do I go about batch changing the incorrect QT-associated finder icons for icons that correctly represent their new association with VLC?
    Thanks for reading

    I was having that same trouble, but with ".rar" archives (in my case - OS X Yosemite), I tried all ways to solve it, following all kind of tips, like: choosing a new program as default to open the file, app cleaners, terminal commands, disk utility, etc.. but nothing worked. When finally I got problem solved, how I did it: 1) Download the program: Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/), after downloading, I got the message to register it, I simply clicked on "Remind me later". 2) Now, after installing it, configure Cocktail with this short tutorial, exactly as described (http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/maintain-your-mac-with-mac-os-x-co cktail/). After following 2 steps, Cocktail will be configured and will run, in the end your Mac will restart, you can now check that all your archives will be with correct icon (preview/thumbnail). Hope it helps!

  • Changing file type when saving doesn't work

    How can I fix the problem where, if I change file type when saving, eg from tiff to jpg, the 'jpg' suffix is not appended in the save window? It remains as tiff. This has only started happening recently.

    I have a G5 iSight running OSX 10.4.11 with all the latest upgrades. The problem is about a week old.
    Yesterday I did a clean install of everything (not because of this problem) which I'm sure would have cleared the problem. But I was playing around with importing all my old PS and InDesign settings via copying the old preference files (and others), and the tiff/jpeg problem has reappeared. Seems to me like one of the files I copied, contains the problem. I suspect the only way out of this is to reload PS. But I was hoping it might be as simple as deleting a certain preference file.

  • File type from file name

    Hi,
    Is there any standard method to get a file type from file name?
    File name can be ‘C:\test.doc’ or “C:\test’(test – is file) i.e. with or without file type extension.
    ...Naddy

    You can use the Function module PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME
    export paramter extension will tell the type of file
    Sample Output
    Import     COMPLETE_FILENAME     C:\TEST.TXT
    Import     CHECK_DOS_FORMAT     
    Export     DRIVE     C
    Export     EXTENSION     TXT
    Export     NAME     TEST

    I would like to know if this is feasible with a SharePoint online site.
    If feasible, how can I resolve the below exception I am getting while using the code.
    “The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden”.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Actually what I am trying to achieve is the two things.
    1) By using only the user's name, need to upload/download from/to the document library of SharePoint online site using the CSOM. (i.e., achieving Single Sign On / Windows Authentication)
    2) I need to achieve the above only by passing the document URL; not by hardcording/ configuring the document library name in the windows application.
    Can anyone pls help on this now?
    [Below code is working fine. But need to arrive the solution whereas the above 2 conditions are not violated.

  • Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

    Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

    Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that.  What's wrong with Save As?

  • Getting the file type from a placed file

    Hi
    I am trying to get the file type from items placed on a page. I know the types available has one of the three interfaces "IImageAttributes", "IEPSAttributes" or "IPDFAttributes", but how can i test whether the placed image is a TIF, JPG ... Of course i could test on the suffix or the file type (mac), but that isnt "secure" enough, since InDesign can place files with no filetype or extension, if they are in an importable format.
    What I want in short, is to read the filetype shown in the Info palette, any one knows how to do this?
    Jon

    Thanks, I did take a look in these interfaces, but that didnt solve the problem for eps, pdf and other none raster types.
    Instead I found the:
    IDataLink->GetNameInfo()
    Which gives me the string from the Info palette.
