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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Quicktime movie chapters in Quartz composer

    Hi,
    I am working on my diploma presentation in Quartz composer on Snow Leopard. It also includes Quicktime movies with chapters that I want to skip to via the Apple Remote (or some other input device). But how can I address these chapters? Is there a way to work with them directly or do I have to do some kind of workaround. I'd be happy to get some hints.
    Thanks a lot,
    Johannes

    check the example code archives. i'm sure i've seen a listing for code that extracts audio from video files....

  • 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.

  • Combine several Quicktime (.mov) files into a DVD with chapters

    I made several Quicktime movie segments (.mov) that I periodically upload to Youtube. Now I have a collection of these short 30 secs to 5 minute videos that I want to incorporate into 1 DVD.
    How do I burn it with chapters to represent each videos?

    I was experimenting on different formats (they are converted to mp4, m4v and mov files before uploading to Youtube) at the beginning before I settled on .mov files. My Macbook only have 80 gigs so I want to preserve all of the clips I did in DVDs before I erase them from the hard drive before importing/starting a new tape. All of them were captured using a Sony Digital 8 camcorder.

  • Using compressor to create HD quicktime movie

    I am using the Sony FX-1 HD camera which records at 1080i60. I have captured the footage and now would like to create an HD quicktime movie to put on disc to be viewed on other computers. I tried using compressor and it took 24 hours to create a 5 minute file...What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    If you capture using the intermediate codec it all goes faster at the cost of drive space pretty much.
    Post more about your setup too. computer os etc..

  • HD quicktime movie create page with iweb and host externally?

    I made a 3
    min HD movie the file is 1.5gig I have an account with
    blue host that allows me 300gigs of space. I uploaded the movie no problem.
    Now i want to make a web page with a link to that movie using iweb.
    So in other words i design the simple page on i web and than upload it to
    bluehost. How do I size a quicktime movie to be the correct size example
    852x480? on the templates the movies are to small?

    How did you fit a 1.5GB file into 300MB's of space?
    What viewer is going to wait two or three hours (weeks on dial-up) to view a 3 minute file?
    Your best solution is to link to file and let your viewers download it. Just use the complete URL as your link.

  • Quicktime Movie is blank when I create it from the sequence HELP!

    I was unable to capture unto the external hard drive so I captured onto another on my computer. I have had to do this before. I imported the captures onto my project. I worked on the project in Final Cut Express 2, saving it carefully and all. Now I see all my hard work but it is blank when I try to make it into a Quicktime movie.

    Can you still play your project from the FCE timeline?
    If so, select it and choose File>Export>QuickTime Movie.
    If you are going to move the QT file to another Mac you must also select the "Make Movie Self-contained" box.
    Remember that the clips on your timeline and Browser are only "virtual" ones that reference your real captured clips. If you have deleted the original clips from your capture scratch disk you will lose all your project.
