Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo...... the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface. But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently..... it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

QuickTime version 10.3 will "convert" older legacy codecs into a more modern version. You can save this newer version and delete the older one.
This can only mean that support for those codecs will be removed completely some time in the future.

Problems with downloading dmg.gz files with Firefox

I've noticed some problems where Firefox has problems trying to download dmg.gz files, and it will spit out a bunch of garbled "code" to the screen instead of downloading the file. I tried the same file, just as a dmg file, and Firefox downloaded it just fine. Any ideas on what is going wrong here? Is this some limitation with Firefox and not understanding dmg.gz files, or is the disk image not being created and compressed properly, or is this a matter on the server that would have to be fixed?
I haven't noticed this problem of trying to download dmg.gz files with other browsers like Safari or OmniWeb.

I don't know where the filename->filetype mapping is in Firefox, but I do know that the popup menu on links includes a "Save link as..." item. So command-click or hold down the mouse button for a while or right-click on one of the links that causes problems and select that item. That will give you a standard "save as" dialog box and you can save the file. This trick works for any link and any filetype.

Finder crashed after downloading a zip file with pictures

First my desktop icons disappeared. Then the finder, appears and disappears every 3 seconds. Simultaneously the Finder also disappears and reappers in the "Force Quit Application" window. This started after I downloaded a zip file with family photos from a friend (on a windows machine). Rebooted off the Tiger installation dick. Running disk utility off the Tiger installation disk did not help. Permissions were repaired but the finder is still crashing Tried relaunching the Finder from the "Force Quit Application" window. No help. Ran Virex (outdated by 12 months) without any benefit.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There's a shameful glitch in Finder where if you drag certain attachments off a mail document onto the Desktop the Finder will do its quit/relaunch jitter bug--will also do it for illegally named files on the Desktop, and will hang for dang near forever it you accidently drop 100s of files onto the Desktop. The easy solution is to start the affected machine in target disk mode, hook it up by firewire to another Mac, then navigate to the affected user's Desktop folder and move the funky file or files into a new folder.

How do I export from FCP to a QuickTime file with multiple audio channels?

I'm delivering a project where the first step is to generate an HD Cam SR master, which I will be doing at a post-production lab. They will then do a QC check for me. To generate this HD Cam SR master, they need to me to bring in my 98-minute long movie on a firewire hard drive, in five equal parts -- QuickTime files. From these five QT files, the lab will then be creating an HD Cam SR master that will have...
dialogue on tracks 1 and 2
effects on tracks 3 and 4
music on tracks 5 and 6
MY QUESTION
a) I don't see any way to separate these audio tracks accordingly in the FCP menu for QuickTime export. Does anyone have any experience doing this?
b) And does anyone know the most efficient way to combine timeline audio tracks for this purpose? I have my dialogue sitting on the first FOUR audio tracks, actually. To deliver this film, I'll need to crush these four audio tracks to two, as listed above. I could generate an AIFF file, I suppose, import it back onto the timeline, sync it up, and then re-export along with the visuals to make the final QT file, but this seems like a generation loss.
thanks,
Shanked
PS the movie is made up of footage from a Sony PMW EX1. I used the codec "XDCAM 1080 24p 35mbs VBR" for editing in FCP. I'll either export to QT using this same codec or switch to "Apple ProRes" if my machine can somehow maintain the sync.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,

How do I continue to be able to download Adobe pdf files with FF4.0 as I was able to with all previous version?

With FF 4.0 I can no longer download Adobe pdf files. At any website when I click the pdf icon something is displayed about a plugin-handler and nothing further happens - there is either no download or the download stops. Sometimes a partial frame of the pdf frame displays but nothing further happens. I never had this problem with previous versions of FF.

You must be doing something wrong, or perhaps Windows 7 is interfering. Here's the step-by-step process:
Launch LabVIEW 2009.
Open an 8.6 VI. It should show up with an asterisk in the title bar.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
In the dialog click the "Save" button to accept the default of saving the VI into a new folder called "<VI Name> Folder".
Close the VI. When asked if you want to save changes click "Don't Save".
Check the timestamp on the newly created file in that folder.
Open the same 8.6 VI again.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
The "File name" textbox should have the same default name as previously. If you click "Save" Windows should move you into that folder, and the save dialog should remain open. The file listing should contain the VI.
Click on the "Current Folder" button. You should get a dialog warning you that the operation will save over existing files. Click "OK" to continue. The VI will be saved as the previous version over the previous save that was done. To verify this, check the timestamp on the file.
I just did the above on LV2009 running under XP just so I could get the button names correct.
You can repeat steps 10-16 as many times as you want without needing to create a new folder.

Download/Open .pdf files with Windows 8.1 - Help needed urgently!

Hi, all. I hope this is not a stupid question, but can someone please help with downloading/opening .pdf files?
I am running Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, latest version (no updates available) on a Windows 8.1 platform. When I attempt to download a .pdf file (ANY .pdf file!), my system gives me this error message -
"Adobe Acrobat does not support Internet Explorer's 64-bit mode. Either install the latest version of Adobe Reader, or disable 64-bit mode in Internet Explorer"
I find this baffling. If I could find a later version of Reader than what I have, I would like to try it - but, Adobe updates tells me I have the latest version of Reader. Also, as above, I have the latest version of Acrobat - if Reader could support 64-bit, surely Acrobat XI Pro could?
Can some kind person please help?

Hi Peter,
(I updated your title, so now help is indeed, "needed," and not "nedded." Been there myself plenty of times.)
In any case, is it possible that you're running Reader X, and have the latest updates of that? If so, please consider downloading Reader XI, and make sure you're running version 11.0.07. And, this document offers instructions for setting up your browser to display PDFs when you're using Acrobat XI or Reader XI: Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Quicktime File with Chapters to iDVD?

I was getting "multiplexing" errors with a particular iDVD project that I imported from iMovie 6 so I thought I would export the project as a full Quicktime file and then drag the Quicktime file into iDVD. Will the chapter markers still show up in iDVD?

Hi
My list on *Multiplexing Error*
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9
strange letters in project name eg +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutly needed.
eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing widescreen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taio Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.
From. Boise, Idaho
I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.
by dheb0422
Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the uneditited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

Firefox insists on downloading a zip file with an application. Options is set to ask for download loaction but does not work

When downloading a ZIP file I get a 'Launch Application' window.
In Options I have set download to ask for a location and use the download window but this does not work.
cannot find any way of changing this and there is no option for using an application.
If I down load in IE I have no problems so it must be FireFox and not a system problem.

I have found the problem.
A download manager had been installed for a specific website and it was butting in all the time. Even after removing it with 'Add or remove software' it still had its hooks into the system and it was impossible to download anything as it now would not run.
Had to do an XP 'System restore' before I could get rid of it.
The offending program was MD_setup.exe size 3,045KB from the themediadownloader.com

FCP giving a vertical stretch to Quicktime file with matching seq. settings

I created a moving background that contains a logo in After Effects and rendered it out as a Quicktime movie with the DV/NTSC 720 x 480 settings. The file looks great when I open it in Quicktime. However, when I import it in to my Final Cut sequence, it's stretching slightly...enough to distort the logo. My FCP sequence setting is the DV/DVCPRO preset. 720 x 480.
Any idea why it's doing this? If I go in to "distort," I can adjust the aspect ratio to look normal, but then I have a black letterbox look.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Using FCP version 6.0.6

Sounds like After Effects was set to square pixels (pixel aspect). Look for the 0.9 pixel aspect setting or export as 720x540 square pixels.

Quicktime file with corrected audio track not working with iWeb Gallery

Hello Everyone,
I shot a video and accidentally recorded on one audio track only (posted in another post). I've fixed the audio in Quicktime Pro by selecting the audio track (track 1) onto track 2 and hence I've got "fake" stereo or mono audio. The QuickTime file plays perfectly on my desktop. The audio is coming through both channels, as well.
Now, my problem is that when I've tried to upload the file to my iLife '08 iWeb site, the audio is back to one channel again. The video plays beautifully, however. I even uploaded the QuickTime file to my iDisk and from there to my web gallery through iLife '06. Still, the audio is only coming through on one track.
Hmm, is there a setting in QuickTime Pro that I might have missed after I "fixed" the audio? Like I said, the file plays perfectly on my desktop. I've even burned the file to DVD and it plays perfectly on my home DVD player. Somehow along the upload process the 2nd audio track is dropped. Any advice is very much appreciated.
Frustrated in Texas,
-Jack

Hello QuickTimeKirk,
Thanks for all of your advice and to the others who have chimed in with their input. My audio problem is solved. The problem with one of the audio tracks getting dropped once the QuickTime file was uploaded to my Web Gallery has been fixed. I had to re-export the original QuickTime File and somehow the tracks corrected themselves. I believe they were canceling themselves out the first time. Weird.
Now, however, I see that I'm getting the blue Quicktime symbol when I open the URL. It takes about a minute (at least with my cable connection) for the poster frame to show up. I did flatten the file and have it set to play automatically. See what you get on your end: http://web.mac.com/honeybear7/Site/Movie.html if you don't mind. This is just a test page, so this is not the final presentation. The window size of the movie, however, is set.
What is the best possible setting I can have the file set on for it to play the quickest? I know much of it is dependent on the connection speed. This also is not a small file. It's 214 Mb, but it's a 40 minute movie and looks okay on the web. Having burned it on DVD as a 2.9 gig file it, of course, looks much better with no blocking. I originally shot it with an HD Canon camera.
Any more advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.

Running QuickTime files with no QuickTime player installed

I export keynote files into QuickTime format, but most of my audience might not have QuickTime installed. Is it possible that I somehow create a file that can automatically play that file without having the actual QuickTime player installed? So the player is embedded. I heard windows media player can do this.
Thanks beforehand.

To clear up a misconception, Windows Media Player can NOT do that. But Windows Media Player is installed by default on all Windows machines in much the same way that QuickTime Player is installed on all Macintoshes.
PowerPoint for Windows can export to a self-running executable, which includes both the PowerPoint show and a viewer for it, but that will only run on a Windows computer.
A better solution may be to provide a download link along with the files so that your audience can install QuickTime; or if you are distributing on disk, include the standalone installer along with your files (Apple has a license available to allow you to do that). Also know that if your audience has iPods, they have QuickTime.

Downloaded a quicktime file with a chromakey
