Export to Quicktime bug with embedded movies

Hi
I'm having an annoying problem when having Quicktime movies inserted in slides, then recording a slideshow and exporting it to Quicktime. I do the following:
1) Create a new slideshow
1) Insert movie into first slide
2) Create another slide
3) Insert copy and paste movie into this slide as well and add some animated object (i.e. a shape with a motion path)
4) Record slideshow so that the animated object appears while the movie still plays
5) Export recorded slideshow to Quicktime
*What happens when viewing the recorded slideshow:* Start of the presentation. The movie on the first slide starts playing immediately without clicking. *1st CLICK*. Second slide shows up. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well. *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the movie and the animation play simultaneously.
*What happens when viewing the exported movie:* The exported movie seems to ignore some of the recorded settings. Slideshow starts, the movie doesn't play. *1st CLICK.* The movie starts playing (when actually it was supposed to advance from slide 1 to slide 2). *2nd CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2.
It seems as if the export does not interpret all the settings the same way the direct presentation does, which is quite annoying as you don't get the same result in the exported movie you see on the screen.
Workaround: Go to the "QuickTime inspector" button in the inspector window, select the movie, check the option "Start movie on click". Then, go to the "Build inspector", hit the "More Options" button. The movie object now appears in the list. Select it and select "Automatically after transition" in the lower "Start build" part of the inspector. This way, the movie will start playing also in the exported movie.
Still there is another problem now.
*What happens now when viewing the exported movie with workaround:* Slideshow starts, the plays. *1st CLICK.* The presentation advanced from slide 1 to slide 2. The movie on the second slide starts playing without clicking as well! YAY! *2nd CLICK.* The animated object is triggered, the animation plays but the movie stops as soon as the animation is triggered.
So, instead of playing animation and movie simultaneously as in the normal recorded slideshow on screen, in the exported movie, the movie stops the moment the animation is triggered.
It seems as if the "Play Slideshow" and "Export to Quicktime" have different timelines, or different parameters the two modes evaluate.
This happened in iWork '08 and also happens in iWork '09. It's quite annoying. For me it's clearly a bug that should be fixed and is worth fixing. Please Apple, fix this bug.
I also noticed a tremendous amount of crashes while using the export to Quicktime function. While I was trying Keynote in iWork '09 I exported several times to Quicktime and had several crashes just by using this function.

Hi all.
I do exactly have the same problem since Keynote 4.0 and was hoping that it's solved in Keynote 5.0.
As soon as I try to export a previously recorded slideshow, (that has a quicktime-movie embeded on one slide) and one or two little textanimations on it. The embeded movie stops playing when the first animation starts in the exported quicktimemovie. When I view my recorded presentation, everything looks fine.
I do also believe, that the Quicktime-Export-Function does not work correctly because of timeline differences or so.
I would really appreciate a fix, specially becaused I upgraded in the hope that this should have been solved since around 10 months now....
Too bad.
P.S. As a workaround I am currently using also screenflow to record a recorded keynotepresentation to finally receive a movie. But that is kind of awkward too....

  • Export in QuickTime - bug with QuickTime Windows but not with Mac!

    Hello everyone and thanks for reading and answering...
    Something super weird is happening to me...
    I'm exporting a keynote file to Quicktime. The presentation contains movies saved in quicktime format (.mov)
    When I play the exported quicktime file on my Mac, everything runs smoothly.
    However, when I play the same file on my Windows computer, Quicktime freezes as soon as the presentation comes to the video (it freezes when it's time to play it). WHY?
    I was wondering if the problem was coming from the fact that on my Mac i have Quicktime Pro, but on my Windows CPU I just have the regular version. I was thinking that it may be a codec thing.
    Does anyone know? (I don't wanna buy QT Pro only to realize that it wasn't the problem, especially that I seldom use my windows computer (it's a laptop, so I only use it when I have a presentation)
    Thanks a LOT for your inputs and have a good time...

    OK, I may have found the source of the problem: when i tried to play the movie file that I had inserted in Keynote on my PC, Quicktime asked for a codec. In Movie Inspector, I saw that the video was encoded in FLV1...
    Any idea where I can get this codec for QT WIndows (I'm searching for it and haven't found it yet)

  • Keynote with embedded .mov exported to Quicktime and then WMV (Flip4Mac)

    Hi,
    I have a Keynote with an embedded .mov file (video and audio) half way through which exports to Quicktime fine ("Keynote .mov").
    When I use Flip4Mac to convert the Keynote .mov to WMV the resulting WMV file works fine but stops when the audio of the Keynote .mov stops i.e. Flip4Mac doesn't render the last of the Keynote .mov
    I have sought help over at Flip4Mac tech support forum but thought someone here might know the answer.
    I have tried a variety of different .mov files in my Keynote but the same in all cases: export to QT is fine but Flip4Mac stops converting the Keynote .mov at the end of any audio.
    I can extract the audio track and Flip4Mac will convert the Keynote .mov (video) all the way through.
    Help?

    what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

  • Export to MOV with embedded Movies -- sound erratic

    Help! I've trying to do too much with Keynote, I'm sure: I need to make a multi-media presentation with bg music, VO narration, standard Keynote transitions AND embedded movie clips -- then exported as a MOV file. When I do export it, and play the MOV file in QT, the embedded movie will play nicely, but only the first second or two of it's embedded audio will play.....can't figure this out. Anyone recognize this fail?
    Ultimately, I'm wanting to bring the file up into iDVD and make a dvd presentention for distribution; will it matter that this happens in the MOV file?

  • Exporting Flash Files (which contain embedded movie clips) to Quicktime!

    Since the recent Quicktime upgrade to 7.1.3 I have had trouble with the
    animations I've made in Flash and exported to Quicktime. Most of the time,
    my flash animations require flash movie clips embeded in the flash timeline.
    In the past, when I have exported these flash animations as Quicktime files,
    there is no problems, but now, since the upgrade, the export does not play
    back properly, and it is obvious that Quicktime is unhappy with these
    embedded clips within the flash timeline. Is there a way around this
    problem? A way for me to maintain embedded movie clips in my timeline and
    still export a working Quicktime file!?!

    I've never mastered Flash but I know a lot about how QuickTime works.
    I do know that some Flash features are limited to specific "publish" versions and some newer ones are not supported in older publish states.
    Could you export two files (background and focus object) and test the actions?
    QuickTime uses "layers" (lower layer numbers are on the "top"). Adding multiple layers to a .mov file is easy with Pro but Flash tracks that contain mouse actions must be on the top layer. If the track layer is behind another it may still appear (via transparency) but not be able to hold mouse actions.
    One of my "movies" that uses Flash tracks and sprites:

  • Export as Quicktime Video - with alpha

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to export an animation
    I've created in Flash as a Quicktime Video with transparent (alpha
    channel) background. My client wants to import it into Final Cut
    and have it play over a video track.
    I've used the "export movie" feature in flash with the
    following settings. (I have Quicktime Pro installed.)
    Format: 32 bit color (alpha channel)
    Compressor: Animation
    Quality Default setting
    Sound 44Hz
    Maybe there's nothing wrong with my export settings... maybe
    I need to specify a layer in my flash movie as the alpha channel? I
    can't find any documentation to help!
    Anyone have a clue?
    See an example-->
    http://www.element-group.net/brini/trans_vertical.html
    The white background will need to me transparent to reveal
    the video track.
    Thanks,

    I forgot to say that making the Flash track transparent is an
    intermediate step.
    After that, import the .mov to Final Cut.
    QuickTIme can only support Flash content of Flash 5 and
    under.
    Do you realize that QuickTime 7.1.3 has "Enable Flash" off by
    default. To see Flash tracks in QT player or browser plug-in, you
    now have to open the QT Preferences or settings, click Advanced Tab
    and check "Enable Flash".
    However, if you just want to get Flash content as an
    animation in Final Cut, here is a good article that helped me do
    it.

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash_to_video_02.html
    I'm working on one now, work-in-progress at:

    The heart fountain and the animated logo at the end were both
    made in Flash.

  • Keynote export to Quicktime fails with any animation

    I'm making recordings of Keynote slideshows, and I keep running into the same problem: any time I include an animation, of any sort, the export to Quicktime fails. Any advice?
    Specifically, regardless of the format (whether it's an animated GIF, a Quicktime movie, or ???), I have the animation set to begin immediately, on transition. I can see it animating while I'm talking. When I export it to Quicktime, my voice continues, but Keynote remains stuck on the first frame. Sometimes it does animate a little bit, toward the end of the time that I'm on the slide, but regardless, voice and video sync are way, way off for the rest of the movie.
    Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? I've seen one person be advised to export using fixed timing, but that's not an option for me: the amount of time I spend on the different slides varies quite a bit.

    Yeah, it's pretty simple- with your keynote slideshow open, just open quicktime player, go to "file" then "new screen recording". A little box will open with a record button. Press record, and then play your slideshow in keynote from the beginning. You will have to wait and let it record in real time. After it is done, it will prompt you to save it as a quicktime movie. Then you just have to open iMovie, click "import" and then select the quicktime movie you just made. Then click the musical note button on the lower right, select the mp3 of the VO track or music that you want to use, and drag that onto the timeline. You should right-click and select "detach audio" so you can move it around and get the timing you need. Then just "finalize project" and you're done! Easy-peezie.
    And I have no idea about future keynote updates...overall it's a nice program but the exporting problems definitely need to be addressed.

  • Exporting a quicktime file to a .mov format file

    I'm having difficulty exporting a quicktime movie file from FCP 4.5 to a .mov file. How long is it supposed to take. The file is only 10 minutes long. It says at 22% done it will take an additional hour... Is this correct? What am I doing wrong? Why is it taking so long?
    Ken

    It all depends ...
    Perhaps we can help you if you give us some information.
    What are your:
    Sequence settings?
    Media codec?
    Filters?
    Layers of video and audio?
    Export settings?
    RAM?
    Computer model?
    free hard drive space?
    you know, stuff like that.

  • One Keynote slide + one 7.4 MB mp3 exported to QuickTime = 110.2 MB MOV ???

    OK... Title says most. Combining a single Keynote slide with a 7.4 MB MP3 and exporting to QuickTime is giving me a HUGE file of 110.2 MB.
    Same slide, same MP3, exported to Flash yields an 8.2 MB SWF.
    What's up with that??
    I just want one slide to open up in full-screen, and click to play one song with the slide... and a file small enough to email.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, the magic key seems to be a Custom frame rate of 0.01. With a frame rate that low, I'm getting file sizes of just larger than the music file. Set Keyframe and Data Rate to Automatic.
    The reason why this doesn't happen with Flash is because flash does things the way iPhoto does. Display one static image and leave it there until it needs to change. Keynote COULD do that with QuickTime, but it doesn't
    Also, if that H.264 gamma change is causing you problems, I just found you can use PNG. Make the same change to the frame rate (you don't have to alter anything else for PNG) and you get a file just a skosh bigger, but closer to your original colors.

  • Problem with .mov files exported from Quicktime working with iMovie

    Since iMovie won't input .mpg files, it has been my practice to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .mpg to a .mov file and then import the .mov file into iMovie. With Quicktime 10 (no longer a Pro version), when I follow this procedure I get a .mov file that iMovie refuses to import. Why is this?

    I am having the same issue. Just purchased QT7 Pro. Converted .3GP format to .mov and cannot open in iMovie. Have you found an answer?

  • Problem with embeded movies

    I recently got Dream weaver to promote myself as an animator
    and am attempting to make my first website. While not the most
    sophisticated looking page in the world, it is functional so far.
    However, I've been trying to put my demo reel/animations onto the
    pages and when I test the pages, they play automatically with no
    option to pause, stop, etc. I thought that if controller was set to
    true, I can toggle those kind of options? What am I doing wrong?
    The movies I'm trying to put in are embedded quicktimes, if
    that makes any difference. Thank you very much!

    You need to work in Code view. Set Autoplay to "false" and
    the controller
    set to "true" Notice you will use both object and embed tags
    to cover your
    bases with all browsers.
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/quicktime/streaming/
    Just so you know, many people do not have QT plug-in
    installed in their
    browser. If they don't have QT, they won't be able to see
    your video. If
    you want to reach the widest audience, convert to Flash. To
    bring Flash
    into DW, Insert menu > Media > Flash Video. Then put
    page and all its
    dependant files to server.

  • JPEG export of QuickTime frame (with Location info)

    Shoot QuickTime with iPhone 4S camera app.   Import into iPhoto and see that location data is recorded in file by nature of the fact that iPhoto shows a map pin of the location it was shot.   Park QuickTime on a frame in iPhoto.  Select File Export, Kind: JPEG, with Location information ticked (which when I hover over this option says "Include GPS data in exported photos" -- see attached photo).   Click the Export button.   Choose a folder and save.   Resulting file is not a jpeg but is a 31 KB reference QuickTime of the original 1080p quicktime. 
    Why isn't this working?
    iPhoto ’11 (ver 9.3 650.39)

    Prior to version 9.1.5, iPhoto would export the currently parked frame of a QuickTime file.  (See:
    http://macmost.com/export-video-still-frame-as-image-with-iphoto.html)   This prior state of functionality, along with the fact that the current version's export menus do not dim or grey out during export from QT media, leads one to believe that frame export is a legitimate feature (or facility as you put it) of iPhoto that has somehow become broken, at least on my Mac.  Maybe it works on other Macs.
    Also, what is so wrong with the expectation that a still exported from video (which, by definition, is a series of stills presented at 30 frames per second, giving the illusion of movement) can inherit geolocation data from the originating video?   What makes this such a radical notion?   It is inheriting the width, the height, the saturation, the luminance -- why not throw in the location, which is a tiny morsel of geodata just asking to be plucked?   Those piddly bits would grant the exported still a greater context; they would, indeed, place it on a map.
    And what could be a finer honour for a piece of media, be it a photo, be it a QuickTime, be it a still exported from a QuickTime, than to be given its place on the iPhoto map.  Such a proud distinction that says "Yes, I am an image (or a moving image, or a still taken from a moving image) and I was taken here."   Do not deny the honour of placement to these media.  All are worthy of placement on the map, because all are historical artifacts that beg for geo-context.   And without geo-context, they become lost.
    Goodnight.
    (P.S. I plan to export lots of stills from lots of QuickTimes and do not want to do manual geotagging.  No thanks.)

  • Cannot export to QuickTime file with PE8

    Hello,
    I have an issue when I want to export my video choosing My Computer, QuickTime. The e^port cannot start, APE8 stop immediatly after launching export (message : unxpected errors; PE8 must closed).
    I already uninstall and reinstall Quicktime (last version), same pb. I also uninstall and reinstall PE8, with the update, same issue.
    I do not know what to do.
    I cannot have files MOV to export to Youtube (also the direct export to Youtube from PE8 is still not working, I have a serveur error, already dscribed by other members, but means to have no solution)
    Eric

    I'm sorry, Eric. I have no solution for you. If your computer is crashing whenever you select Share/Computer/Quicktime and your unable to install a program update, there may be a problem at the operating system level.
    How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is onyour C drive?
    The best solution, assuming your computer is well tuned, would be to upgrade to version 11 of the program. Version 8 was notoriously buggy and does not work at all well with AVCHD video.
    Video 11 edits AVCHD natively and has been optimized for this format. You may be able to find a good deal on the software on Amazon. It would certainly save you a lot of aggravation if you spent the few dollars on it.

  • Garageband export to quicktime gives "error opening movie"

    hi
    i've tried to export a movie without success. i imported video from imovie and added 3 audio tracks from itunes. i exported at full resolution several times to quicktime, but each time gives "error opening movie" could not open movie dialogue box. i exported it to idvd and succeeded. but i need quicktime. any help?
    thanks
    bill

    I have tried trashing the plist file. The files look fine through the media manager when copied to the other profile. They look like they are suppose to. The small videos also look fine when played on that computer. Unfortunately our other mac pro computer doesn't have final cut so i can't open and play proress files and my laptop, due to the extreme resolution can't be played on my laptop with final cut studio installed. Tomorrow i'm going to install the proress decoder on the one mac pro to check the files and make sure the self contained is checked but i'm almost positive on that. Other than nuking the profile i don't know what else to do. This is really weird.

  • Export to PDF error with embedded font

    Hello,
    i have added a Barcode font to a report and it is failing to export to PDF now saying it that the "font is not allowed to be embedded in document".  i have tried with two different Barcode fonts A39W and C39W and both fail.
    I have looked at forums which suggested downloading patches and updating the registry key ForceLargerFonts to 1, however this has not worked in either V9, V10 or V11.
    Can anyone help??
    Many thanks,
    Hugh

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing the same problem, except with the
    Frutiger 45 Light font. When I try to export the report from Crystal Preview to PDF I get the error,
    ++++++++++
    Failed to export the report.
    Frutiger 45 Light - Font is not allowed to be embedded in document.
    +++++++++++
    I'm using CR Developer, Full, version 11.0.0.1282
    I've checked in Windows XP and can see the font (a ttf) present with the other fonts installed on my PC in the Fonts folder accessed via the Control Panel in Windows. I can right-click on the font Frutiger 45 Light and see the Properties page for the Font. For all the Groups/Users I can see all the Permissions enabled except for Special Permissions.
    I dont know what you mean by getting the security changed from the supplier of the font to allow embedding into the PDF?
    My colleague was able to perform the same export from Crystal to PDF on his laptop, but it was an older laptop. So there must be a difference between the way our laptops are configured that is causing the problem. The version of CR is the same on both laptops the only obvious difference we can see is that the older laptop has Adobe version 6 installed and the new laptop has Adobe version 7, both machines have Distiller installed. He's now got an upgraded laptop and is getting the same error as I am.
    Any help here would be much appreciated.
    Regards
    Robert.
