Editing quick time movie clips with sound

We are editing together some quick time movie clips but we can't get the sound to come up.
Is there something we are doing wrong? Can you split the voice from the visual when you bring these clips into Final Cut?

A QuickTime movie can be made from any number of codecs. Which one are you working with?
If it's an MPEG video, chances are it will need to be demuxed. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this and other conversions.

Quick Time movies have no sound.

Now with out any warning, my quick time movies have stop playing sound. Also my windows media play has stopped playing sound. Also certain internet things have stopped playing sound. My itunes still plays sound, but anything with video has no sound.
It happen i think after I installed any divx componet. I deleted it and restarted my comp, and still no sound. This is confusing, and I have no clue how to fix it?

Open the Audio MIDI Setup app (found in your Utilities folder).
Set the audio output format to 44100Hz and try the files again.
Many third party audio apps use (and change) these settings. You may have to do it again after using them.

Play multiple movie clips - with sound

Hello Forum members,
I am a total new comer in terms of flash and action script,
self-educated and Adobe forum and internet educated. I can now
click a button and stop and start a movie clip, use attachMovie,
and even mute sound in a movie clip (not video). I am currently
using Flash 8, and waiting for CS3 (downloaded a trial, and like it
better than Flash 8).
Enough history - now to my question - I have an application
that had 3 scenes. I read in some Adobe article
"Flash Best Practices" that it was not a good idea to use
scenes in an application. I converted my Scene 2 and Scene 3 into
movie clips.
I figured I could either put each movie clip on a separate
layer in my timeline (mc_scene2, mc_scene3)
and play them, one after the other (did not quite work, more
later). Or...
copy the timelines from the scenes, and add those frames to
my Scene 1, making a application with both scenes staggered one
after the other in the main timeline. Or...
Keep Scene 1 and at the end of scene 1,
attacheMovie("mc_scene2", etc) and when scene 2 was done play and
or attach the final movie clip (mc_scene3).
I could not figure out how to tell when mc_scene2 was done
using the attacheMovie method, so I could then attach mc_scene3,
etc.
How would I be able to tell when one attached or loaded movie
clip is finished, and then start the next one?
Or what is the suggested way to use actionscript to load a
movie, play it, and when the clip is done, load and play the next,
etc.
Thanks for a good forum,

Hello Again - I guess there is much that I do not understand.
I followed the tip above - or so I thought.
I have "buttons" on my movie clips that play the clip when
clicked.
I have placed stop actions in frame 1 of each movie clip.
I tried placing mc_scene2 and mc_scene3 on their own layer
in the timeline,
and put the code above in my actions layer (Scene 1).
it seems that nothing really works - the _visible property
seems not to work,
etc - I must be doing something wrong. What layer should the
two mc's be
placed?
Thanks for the info

Creating Quick Time Movie with Photos' Titles?

When exporting an album to a Quick Time MOV file is there any way to export the titles for photos too? If not, is there a way to create a "universal" slide show that plays on all OS's with titles?

EarthBased:
What is the ultimate destination of this slideshow? If it's for a DVD project post back as there are other steps to take to make sure the titles display on screen. Or you can use a 3rd party slideshow application that gives you more flexibility as to where the titles are placed. PhotoPresenter is one (very inexpensive) and has over 20 animated themes as well.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Using Quick Time movies with Logic

Hello all,
I am writing some music to a quick time movie and everything is working fine...then I scroll back and forth a little to fast....and then the movie starts to skip.
Problem is I can't get Logic to "Clear" itself, even if I restart or import a different movie, then come back to this movie, it still skips, any ideas...
Scott

Scott,
You're correct, the semi-colon is used to designate drop frame. I've seen way too many timecode burns that didn't match the actual frame rate, even when the footage was provided by supposedly professional editors. The only way to check it is to run it alongside Logic's timecode counter and see how well they jibe at different points in the movie, and based on your last post, you have the correct frame rate and burn.
As far as skipping, I don't think it has anything to do with how fast you scroll. Sounds to me like your hard drive is having trouble keeping up with the data stream. Is your movie located on its own drive, or is it on your system or audio drives? Best scenario is to have the movie streaming off of a dedicated drive.
There are two other scenarios almost guaranteed to cause skipping:
1. You have that movie open in QT while you're also trying to display it in Logic.
2. You have two or more songs open in Logic that reference the same movie. This is a sure-fire way to encounter skipping.

Export Quick Time movie drops several clips

FCEHD 3.5 user
The exported quick time movie has dropped several clips from the time line - no clips were dropped from the browser. I exported the QT Movie to external drive B because drive A was getting full (15% available) and on the prior export to ext A I had audio sync problems - about 3 frames ou of sync. The sync problem, on drive A, had just started and it went in and out over about 10% of the 34 min project. The sync problem went away when I exported to drive B but that whe 3 clips were missing from the timeline. This was the first time I used ext. drive B to store a quick time movie file.
What's causing the clips from dropping off the timeline?
Should I continue drive A as my QT export storage?

Full details about your system and the drives would be helpful.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Publishing quick time movie from a fla with embeded video

I'm exporting my flash movie as a quick time movie (setting
the flash version in 5 on the publish settings), and everything is
ok except that the videos that are embeded just dissapear. Is there
a way to import .movs into a .fla and still being able to export to
whole thing into quick time?

My guess is that you import video to flash using codec that
is not supported in
QT player. Do the following. Open new document and set it
right away to FLASH 5,
than import the video and you will notice your options has
drastically change to
very minimal. Anyhow, import, do whatever you wish to it,
export as QT MOV file.
Should work on first go. If does not, please upload that
video you trying to use,
I will check it out for you.

Can't get quick time to work with windows thumbnail

When I purchased a new camera, unlike my old camera that saved files as .avi and which allowed me to use the files with all software and which allowed me to view automatically the thumbnails for the .avi file, my new camera used the garbage .mov from apple. Result: i can't see what the files contains... NO thumbnails in windows! I was told to buy QUick time Pro to be apple to do this. I did what the quicktime "help" (misnomer) said to do: set poster frame, resave the file (try to save it as is, or as quick time mover). THIS DIDN'T WORKED. There was Ø supplementary information. The only thing that works is MANUALLY converting all my .mov from the camera to .avi using quicktime pro. I paid CAD$39 FOR absolutely NOTHING. Any suggestions?
<Edited by Moderator>

Please review the "stickied" threads near the top of this board, about syncing with Windows 7 and Vista. It's all there.
After you've been through and tried everything there is to try, and still have problems, please post back with specific info about exactly what you've tried, what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), etc.

Quick time movies in iPhoto

I have a Panasonic digital camera DMC FX9. When I download stills and short movies from a SD memory card they automatically go into iPhoto. That presents a couple of problems on the quick time movies (.mov). One I don't want them in iPhoto, two if I rename them in iPhoto the new name does not show up in a "smart folder" on my desktop that contains only .mov files.
How can I make SD card downloads separate .mov files from iPhoto pictures? Would like the .mov's to got to the default MOVIE sidebar folder.
If not possible, then how can I make the names in iPhoto show up on a folder of just quicktime movies (they keep the original file name despite the new name in iPhoto)?

Hi Edward,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

DV pal to Quick Time Movie FCP

When I convert a DV pal edit to quick time movie in FCP the quality is very poor? Is there another way of converting to internet with a better picture quality?
Thanks

What version of Final Cut Pro, Mac OS X and Quicktime?
What is your current Easy Setup in Final Cut Pro?
What are the current Sequence Settings in Final Cut Pro?
When you Export from FCP, what are the exact steps that you are taking?
When you view the file in QuickTime Player, do you have:
1. High quality playback turned on?
2. Final Cut Pro Color Compatibility turned on?
Both options can be found in QuickTime Player > Preferences > General.

What is Quick Time movie anyways - continuing

Thank you David,
Thank you guys all for your support.
That explains it all. It also raises another question, what is the most universal codec which would maintain the quality? Apparently is is Motion Jpeg. But how can I convert my HDV video to QT compressed with Motion Jpeg? I had tried to find settings in Compressor, but I couldn't find any Motion Jpeg settings..I have only find Photo Jpeg??
But let's say, that I will take that HDV video from my HDV 1080 i 60 timeline and
export it USING QUICK TIME CONVERSION:
Format QUICK TIME MOVIE and in OPTIONS I go to:
VIDEO SETTINGS and choose Photo Jpeg as my COMPRESSION TYPE
Now, what will the resulting file be? Photo Jpeg Quick Time?
I apologize for being confused that much and thank for your patience.

Yes, the file would be a QuickTime movie using the Photo JPEG codec.
Photo JPEG is almost the same as Motion JPEG, and it's a good choice
for disk playback performance. For example, if you are editing
several video streams for a multicam edit, and want to do an offline version,
FCP will make Photo JPEGS.
Here is some more information on the Photo JPEG codec:

Cannot open Quick Time movies in iLife 11

I got my first digitized Super8 films back on an external hard drive, 1 TB. They were converted to Quick Time movies 1280x720,
Codecs: Component Y' CbCr 10bit 4:2:2 ( I have no idea what this all means). All I had asked was to get them in .mov files. Quick Time movies seems to be something different than .mov files.
What can I do to open these Quick Time movies and to edit them in iLife 11?
Would appreciate if somebody could help me .

The information about the codec in Final Cut Express is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3523
I have a lot of old Super8 films and decided to get them digitized. After that I intend to discard the old analog films and keep two copies of these old Super8 movies on external hard drives. Therefore I am looking for the best possible quality at a reasonable price.
The first batch last year was digitized to what they called uncompressed .mov files and could be easily imported and edited in imovie.
For the second batch (another service) I decided to go HD in .mov files, again uncompressed (the HD quality 1280x720 seems to be remarkably better) What I got are these Quick Time movies that I cannot open in Quick Time and imovie does not let me import these Quick Time movies, whereas the uncompressed .mov files last year were a breeze to handle. What's the difference between 'uncompressed' .mov files vs. Quick Time 'uncompressed' that I cannot open in imovie.
Now you are pointing out that FCE does not let me edit uncompressed QT files. How do I convert to .mov or MPEG Streamclip?
Would I purchase Final Cut Express only to be able to open those movies in Quick Time?
Feels like I am at the low end of the learning curve.
Appreciate all help I can get for my project.

Keynote fails to play quick time movies

HI,
I am trying to play a quicktime movie which I added to one of the slides. It starts out fine then the screen goes white but the control at the bottom of the screen shows that the movie is still playing. Some times you get the same white slide when you try to stop a movie while it is playing and drag the cursor back to replay a part of the movie again. Other quicktime movies do fine. And this quick time movie plays fine in quicktime. The white slide you get when you are trying to replay a section of quicktime movies can be fixed by going back one slide and and coming back to the movie slide and playing it again. If some one has a fix please let me know. I have seen this happen with other people using quicktime in keynote too.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

Copying movie clip with flv

Hi, I am trying to copy a movie clip with an flv in it from
one project to another. Everything works fine except the flv just
keeps trying to load and never plays. I am not sure what to do. Any
suggestions?

It sounds like you are using the FLVPlayback component to
display the FLV, in which case, the FLV is a separate file and
likely needs to be in the folder next to the new project. Go back
to the old project and copy the FLV from its location there to the
new projects folder.
