Creating a Manual Advance Quicktime Movie

Is there a method of editing a Quicktime Movie to behave like a Manual Adsvance Quicktime Movie? i.e.: inserting "pauses" so that movie only plays from one "pause" to the next by clicking or using arrow keys.

There's no really good way for it anymore. Sharing via iCloud is likely the best possible option, but I haven't had an opportunity to try that out yet. I'll need to get my hands on a Windows PC to see how an updated Windows browser displays presentations.

I can not export a Keynote 2014 as a manual advance quicktime. What is the best way to playback a Keynote on a PC to look exactly like the keynote that I created?

Trying to use Adobe Encore to create a manual advance keynote BD-ISO

Hi All,
Background:
I'm a media designer that produces corporate media content for a recruiting firm.
Objective:
I'm trying to devise a way for presenters in our sales offices to run standardized group interview and training HD keynote shows without the use of a DVD player or a laptop on their LCD screens.
Laptops= every manager needs an apple computer and keynote software to run the content + its messy to have to manage wired connections to the mounted LCD panels all the time.
DVD Players= any updates that are required to this content from time to time make the idea of re-shipping physical DVD's logistically undesirable.
Proposed Solution:
Perminently integrate a BD-ISO (menu) compatible HD media player into our office setups that will run manual advance Keynote BD-ISO's (created in Encore) where any new updates can just be downloaded from a central server in the form of a Blu-ray master iso image by the end-user, dropped on their USB flash drive, and played through the media player.
Here's the workflow I've come up with (Problem to follow):
1. Design a 1280x720 keynote presentation in Apple iWork's Keynote '09
2. Export a timed (Intervals: 5 sec/between each slide & 2 sec/between each object animation) h.264 | 1280x720 | 29.97 quicktime .mov file
3. Create Blu Ray Encore Project (1280x720, h.264, 29.97)
4. Import .mov file as timeline
5. Insert chapter markers at the beggining of every animation/transition (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 3 & 5)
6. Insert a second chapter marker directly before each of the previous set of chapter markers as close together as encore will allow (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 2 & 4)
7. Set "end action" on each of the second set of chapter points (Ch. 2 & 4 below) to "Link back to here" so that the still image hold that occures after each "keynote animation" (thanks to the 2 sec hold time I set in the Keynote export- see step 2 above) is isolated so the playback loops on that chapter (which is a still frame because of the 2 sec pause between animations as set in keynote export).
Note on this technique: Idea is to set up the timeline and chapter end actions so that the playback loops on a few identical frames that exist between the two "extremely-close-together" chapter points (creating a "pause" effect) until the end user hits "Next Chapter" button on remote to jump to the proceeding chapter that contains the next keynote animation or tranistion.
Diagram:
(timeline-> ...---------------Ch.2<-- -->Ch.3(beggining of animation)-------------------------------------(end of animation)Ch.4<-- -->Ch.5------------------------->)
8. Set "First Play," "Title Button," and "Timeline End Action" to Ch.1 of the timeline (so it starts there when ISO is activated and loops back to there at the end of the presentation).
9. Export as "Blu-ray" Image
10. Load iso file on a USB flash drive, plug it into BD-ISO (menu) supported media player, and run the ISO and Voila!! = HD Keynote presentation running from BD-ISO file on a media player. PERFECT SOLUTION....
PROBLEM:
One of the most marketable (due to affordable price-point) BD-ISO (full menu support) media players is the HDX BD1. When I run the ISO file on this unit, it will play the first chapter, and pause and loop on chapter 2 like it is supposed to, creating the pause effect; But when I select "next chapter" it says "cannot_execute"- and I cannot proceed to the next transition/animation. I've previewed the setup in the encore preview feature and it behave's perfectly.
I'd be quick to say its a hardware issue but I've checked out several YouTube videos with people demoing this exact media player running and navigating feature film BD-ISO's (selecting "next chapter" and all) without any issues at all.
I've mastered something similar to this technique using DVDSP on SD DVD's, because DVDSP allows me to infinitley pause playpack ON each chapter point, not even needing the use of the "loop" feature I've set up in encore; But Adobe Encore doesn't offer a "pause" end action so I've come up with this as the next best thing. Although it doesn't play back properly on a full BD-ISO NAVI supported media player.
QUESTIONS:
1. Based on this setup, is there anything obvious I'm missing in Adobe Encore that would eleviate this playback problem on the media player?
2. Is there another authoring workflow within Encore that would allow me to acheive Keynote motion graphic, manual-advance slideshows?
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Chad,
The most probable explanation is that Encore is creating incorrect navigation commands. It is well known and documented that Encore Blu-ray navigation works only for the simplest cases.
This should be easy to fix using BluStreak Tracer, Rivergate Software's upcoming post-authoring solution:

If you will prepare a small test case (1 GB or less) and post it on an FTP server, I will take a look and attempt to update it for you. You can contact me through our web site's contact page.

Larry

Creating Pauseable Chapters in Quicktime Movies

I want to create basically what iWork outputs, a quicktime movie that pauses at certain points and starts again after you click on it.
I already have the animation (created in Motion) but i want to add the functionality to pause at certain points and startup when i click on it or press the spacebar.
I dont know if ill have to use 3rd party, but if so thats OK, I just need it to work like that. Im pretty new at this so please explain in easy words.
Thank you...

Have you tried bringing the animation file into Keynote to add those "pauses"?
My "guess" is that Keynote uses "sprite tracks" for the play/pause feature. You could use QuickTime Pro to "Extract" the sprite track and add it to a "selection" of your animation.
Lots of trial and error, I suspect.

Manual advance quicktime export not working

new to keynote, trying to export an interactive high quality quicktime, but manual advance is not working once it exports. I have lots of embedded video files that won't advance once clicked on either. Not sure if they are the problem. Any thoughts on how I can export a quicktime that I can manually click through?? Thanks for any help you can offer.

HA!
That's a great one to play at Parties!!
BTW - that's a great way to do one-offs of sections you want to send out. HOWEVER - a problem there too - if you have a CLIP selected, FCP won't know if you are exporting that cut or the in/out point. Make sure everything is DE-selected. You'll notice a color shift in the timeline indicating the IN/OUT area when you are good to go.
Glad you fixed, now GET BACK TO WORK!

What is the av-1 file that is created when I make Quicktime Movies from FCP

I have just experienced the -av1 phenomena for the first time.
I have been exporting to QT movies regularly using the same internal and external drives for months - no changes, no incorrect formatting. I have used those exported movies to create One-Step DVDs in iDVD for display and distribution. This -av1 file thing is keeping me from doing that.
The only diff with this project (and, in fact, it's a new Sequence in a Project that has successfully been exported (without the companion file)) is that this sequence had .aiff music files some of which were from iTunes (downloaded/protected).
I thought that might be the problem, so I created mp3s (by burning to disk and re-importing) and replaced the aiff's in the timeline - it still insisted on creating -av1 files with the QT Movie.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It means that the drive that you are saving these to is formatted FAT32 and has a file size limit of 2GB. Check the file sizes and see.
If the drive was formatted MacOS Extended you won't see this issue.

Disabling Saving of Quicktime Movies In Compressor

I'm creating a bunch of Quicktime Movies in compressor and I want to disable the save as option that the end user can see. (The drop down box on the lower right). I know I can do it through HTML by setting kioskmode to true, but that seems like an extra step.
Cleaner had this function years ago - why can't I find it in Compressor?
How can I make Compressor my one stop shop to compress as a H264 quicktime file, with fast start - compressed header, flatten for playback on all computers, and disable the end-users ability to save my quicktime file through the drop down in the player.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

iWeb doesn't write the html page code until the file is published and you would have to hand edit those files to add some code.
iWeb also uses special javascript to load QuickTime browser plug-in (and your file) and you would need to edit them to add.
The "old" html method is to add the kioskmode="true" tags and that same code can be added to the .js file made by iWeb. It stops "Pro" users from having the "Save" menu.
Since I don't have iWeb on my Mac mini, and I haven't looked very hard at the javascript code made by it, I don't have your answer.
iWeb 2 does include a QuickTime Inspector that can set some parameters but I don't know its options.

Quicktime Movie Crash

Hi All,
I'm trying to export some video 24 minute using Compressor. I have already created a self contained Quicktime movie that I'm exporting. I'm using the MPEG 2 option and also creating a AIFF for audio. The Audio is fine but when I go to play video it's crashes and is unreadable. I just did this process 2 days ago with no problem. Could this be a storage issue?
Thanks

Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to create files to import into DVD Studio Pro. The file is created but then will not play? Does this help?

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video
“Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

Keynote Movie Export with Manual Advance doesn't work posted on MobileMe

Hi,
After exporting a Keynote Presentation to Quicktime with Manual Advance function checked the Manual Advance function is working perfectly.
However, after I post the same Quicktime movie on my Mobile Me gallery (or a webpage via iWeb) the Manual Advance only works on slide 1 taking it to slide 2.
When I click to advance at slide 2 it returns to slide 1 instead of going to slide 3...
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clayton

This could be the old bug that causes this if the movie wasn't fully loaded. Try waiting till the movie fully loads (if it's not showing a progress bar, just wait a few min as it will probably load fully in that time). Then try it again. In my tests with older versions (haven't tested 09) this was the case...clicking on anything before the movie fully loaded sent you back to slide 1.

Minimum version of QuickTime for Windows for Manual Advance QT exports?

My wife is giving a presentation on Friday and must present on a Windows machine. Her presentation includes a dozen short, embedded video clips, so the only trustworthy way to not completely ruin the flow of the presentation is to export the Keynote to Quicktime.
No fancy builds or transitions, just standard dissolves and the previously mentioned embedded videos.
I'm wondering what the lowest version of QuickTime Player for Windows is that will play a manual advance .mov file exported from Keynote '09.
Thanks.

The computer should be able to play that file with QT, what happens when you try to open it?
Here is a sample of H.264 you can test on the computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
I was able to play this with a 2.4 GHz Intel pentium 4 cpu with 512 ram, I have a computer with 1.8 Intel pentium 4 with 512 ram, I can try it on

QuickTime Playback and Manual Advance Problem

Hi,
I am having trouble playing or manually advancing my QuickTime presentation that was created in Keynote. Is this an export setting problem? Shouldn't I be able to play the the presentation using the mouse or the arrow keys? (The presentation contains video, images, many transitions and the entire presentation is in Full HD scale). I would appreciate if someone had any suggestions on how to resolve this problem.

Be sure that you are playing it through QuickTime and not Windows Media Player.

Changing music played within a QuickTime movie created form iPhoto

I am trying to create a QuickTime movie from iPhoto which I have figured out, but I can not figure out how to change the default music. iPhoto indicates that it will use the default music from slideshow, but I can not see where to change that in slideshow preferences? I am able to change the music successfully in a slideshow played within iPhoto, but it does not ripple acorss to the newly created QuickTime movie.

when you're creating your slideshow, you just click the music button (in iPhoto '09 in the older versions it might be in the settings, I don't remember) and choose your song and hit apply. Make sure the "Play music during slideshow" box is checked. Play your slide show (not preview) because this is just what it will look like as a quicktime. Go to export, choose quicktime and check the box that says "Add currently selected slideshow music to movie"
I can assure this works because I was following these steps as I was writing them and I just successfully played a QT with my own music

Can Premiere create a Quicktime movie that loops?

I have some Quicktime movies (.mov) that I made in Director. I want them to loop by default, but there's no setting for this in Director that I can find. (Not getting any answers on the Director forum...)
I know I can set Quicktime Player to loop movies continuously but I want the loop built in.
I'm a total novice at Premiere but I have access to use it at work. Can I change an already-made non-looping Quicktime movie to a looping Quicktime movie using Premiere CS4? How? Or some other way (freeware)?
Thanks for helping!

I have never done this, but I think Encore will allow you to create a movie DVD where the final action of the timeline is to go back to the beginning of the timeline (I think this would be done by creating a DVD with no menu, just a timeline set as 1st play for auto start)
But... ask in the Encore forum to be sure
Thanks for responding. Sounds like learning Encore would be part of this solution. Will have to look and see later if thats even included in the Premiere I can use at work.
A looping Quicktime movie seems like such a simple concept - an Export checkbox: "loop infinitely". Any ideas on why this is not something that could easily be implemented into Premiere, Final Cut, Director etc.?

How to create a Quicktime movie using Cocoa QTKit

I am trying to find some example code on how to create a short Quicktime movie in a Cocoa app. The sample code I've seen so far is all for capturing the frames from an external source (e.g. camera).
Also, I am looking for how to control the compression engine to ensure that I can create a small Quicktime file if there is a lot of frames with small amounts of change in them.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Charlie

I´m looking for a solution to protect QuickTime files with a pwd that one have to enter after a specific time. Is it possible?
No.
