Flip 4 Mac no video

I have installed, including upgrades, appropriate for OSX 10.9.1 - I get audio and a black screen - no video - also the every five-second message "this is a demonstration of Flip 4 Mac."

Update to 10.5.6. Install the combo update instead of using Software Update.
Repair permissions prior to installing the os. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the os installation.
It is better to stick with one posting on the same problem. This will cut down on the confusion for the people trying to help you in figuring out what you have already tried and previously posted.

Flip 4 Mac issues

I recently downloaded an update of Flip 4 Mac. Before this, I always used to see the video image in the body of the email and could just hit the play button. Now I only see the volume bar and I have to click on the paper clip to see the .wmv file. Am I missing something here with some sort of setting? Or is there a better program to use?
Thanks for your help.

Lost Media Player and Flip 4 Mac

Hey there,
I installed Flip 4 Mac and now I can't watch streaming video content that requires WIndows Media Player. Flip 4 Mac popped up but would not play the footage. I still have Media Player installed. I uninstalled Flip 4 Mac but I still can't watch my surf news from ASP World Tour events.
How can I reverse the situation and get Media Player as my default streamer?

If your source file is in WMP format or your export option is to WMP formats then you are working using the "trial mode" of the Flip4Mac software.
You must purchase one of the upgrades to that third party software to complete your task.

No Audio with Flip for Mac, MIDI Settings Seem OK

Hello,
I am using Flip for Mac to stream Windows content. On most sites (You Tube etc.) it seems OK. On some however, the video plays fine, but there is no audio.
Since the video streams fine, I assume it is not a DRM issue. The MIDI Audio Input is set at 44100Hz. The MIDI Audio Output window says 'Output is not supported.' I only use the internal speakers and don't have any external ones connected to perhaps the MIDI Output is irrelevant.
But, is this more of a QuickTime7.2 compatability issue? I am only running a lower version of Flip for Mac, none of the 'Pro' upgrades so did not think it would be an issue. Are there any other common settings one should double check?
Many thanks.

Hi DG!
No, not a DRM issue, and you have set the midi-player settings correctly. For the full nine yards, try this:
These are the downloads and the setup you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Flip for mac

I have the latest version of flip for mac installed. For the last few months when someone sends a video with email when i click on play button at end of email on the video box I only get audio for the first 30-40 seconds & then the video kicks in. how can i correct this

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
It's ok to do this even though you are already running 10.6.2 The update includes Safari plug-in reliability.
If that doesn't help try ...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure *Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

Does OS Lion need flip for mac

new IMAC OS LIon 10.7.3 - can't seem to find out if it needs 'flip for mac'?

Only if you wish to view .wmv files, otherwise it's not really needed.

Mac pro video questions

I'm thinking about getting one or more of the mac pro videos to supplement the logic manual in my attempt to get a better grasp of the program and its capabilities and am looking for some advice. Although I'm partially temped to just buy the whole bundle, adding $200 to the amount I'm spending on music gear in the next couple months (I'll be buying monitors and a firewire interface) is probably not a good idea, and there are some videos that I don't expect I'd use at all (at least not any time soon). Addionally, I am aware that a great deal can be learned through experimentation, but that a good course or reference guide will provide a much faster learning process for me, and teach me things I won't figure out on my own.
Basically, I'm trying to decide whether to simply get the 101 video or the producer's bundle. Here's a basic overview of what I've used Logic for so far, and what I expect to do in the near future:
-primarliy small projects--only a few minutes in length, no more than 12 tracks
-exclusively Logic's plugin instruments and effects thus far, but intend to start using some live audio as well (though VIs will still make up the majority of the music)
-I've started to work on a couple short student film projects, and plan to do more in the future--for right now, I'm content with scoring for smaller instrumentation while still developing compositional skills.
My big question is about use of the environment and whether or not I should get the corresponding video. I know that this is an extremely useful tool, and yet with what I've been doing so far, I haven't needed to deal with it. Perhaps I'm missing things that I could be doing using it for, but so far I've found that everything I've needed can be found in the audio mixer. I'm sure that somewhere down the road I'll want to be familiar with the environment's functions, but I'm not certain that I need it now with my current setup. If someone could clarify some of the environments uses that would be beneficial to my current needs, that would be super. This may determine whether or not I go for the producer's bundle.
I know the obvious answer is most likely "the bundles are worth the added expense," and would certainly agree, but I'm going into poor/in debt student mode soon, so I need to be careful. Thanks.

I guess the main issue here is whether I should get them all now or get them gradually. Obviously, the general feeling here is that I should just go for it, and given the money I'd save all around by getting the main bundle, it makes sense. However, I feel that, for the projects I've been working on until now and will have in the near future, there are videos I could do without. And given my financial situation (aka I work at a video store and will soon have massive student debt), it might be best to wait on those.
So I'm wondering how essential certain elements are to general versatility in using Logic, so I can decide whether or not I need them right away. For example, I'm planning on using the native instruments bundle for samples, so I'm not sure that I really need the EXS tutorial. And I've just realized that I do actually use the environment all the time, I just forgot that the audio mixer is technically part of it--so that tutorial would probably be very useful.
Hypothetically, if I were to choose 1 or 2 tutorials (in addition to 101) to buy, and given the general overview of how I've been using Logic, which ones should they be?

Is there presenter v10 for Mac, is video Express the same features i.e. Powerpoint etc etc

is there presenter V10 for Mac, is video Express V10 the same features as windows version i.e. Powerpoint etc etc

The Presenter Video Express is a screen and web cam capture tool. The PPT integration and functionality is Widows only.
You may want to look at Captivate, which has both a Mac and Windows version, and can work with PPT content.

Quicktime pro and flip 4 mac

Every time I try to export a movie in QuickTime (Pro), in various formants, Flip 4 Mac comes up and says it will put a watermark on the movie unless I buy the Flip4Mac pro.

Ouicktime 7.5 not working with Flip 4 Mac.

I upgraded QT to 7.5 and now my QT plays the audio but no picture when running streaming WMV files. I checked with Flip 4 Mac but they said its a Quicktime issue.I'm running the latest version of flip 4 mac (2.2.0.49R). Anyone have the fix to this problem?

Welcome to the forums Bigbadcudah.
This won't help you, but just for the record, I have not noticed any problems at all with QT 7.5 or for that matter Flip4Mac and playing WMV files, and we are using the same OS.
It might be worth your while checking the following for updated components:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4 and 7.4.5 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from (you may need a different site for the US):
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

Good Mac for video editing?

Hi,
I'm interested to buy a new Mac for video editing and I don't know which mac to choose. I need a laptop computer that can run Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Studio without too much bugs. I asked some people which Mac I need to buy, and they told me a Quad-Core iMac 27 inch or a Mac Pro.
Since my bugdet is quite limited, I will prefer buying an iMac than a Mac Pro because the iMac already has a screen.
Thank you,

Franklin,
You are correct you cannot purchase from the US Apple Store however the Belgian store does have refurbished section located at: http://store.apple.com/be-fr/browse/home/specialdeals/clearance?mco=OTY2ODY2NQ
I see they don't have anything to sell right now however I would continue checking this site very frequently, products come and go very quickly. If you decide to purchase new in order to get the most powerful iMac purchase a machine based on the i7 processor. You can also call the online store their number is in the upper left corner of the store's home page, they can also provide advice or if you visit your local Apple Store they can assist as well.

Using Firefox 27 on the Mac. Video on most sites will not now work. I know I am not alone with this problem. What gives?

Hi KevinMcL,
Thank you for contacting support. I am also using your set up and I experience video issues when I have hardware acceleration turned on.
Other steps you can take to improve your experience:
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Flip 4 mac, QT, Windows midea player, which one?

Hi, I have the latest QT and VLC, I got VLC to view .wmv files, but it turns out it wont play them as they are .wmv3 file, i'm now looking at downloading flip 4 mac (new intel vertion) or windows meda player, but the thing is, where will it end? is there a do all application that can play nearly every thing or do i have to have 3 different ones, just incase????? any help would be awesome, cheers.
John-boy007

You probably want Flip 4 Mac as Windows Media Player is not an application built to utilize the Intel chip (or universal as they say).
Sorry, I don't know of a play all formats Media Player.

Flip-4-mac watermark threat

While exporting a FCE-HD project to quicktime movie, out of the blue, an alert box covered the progress box. Message was that Flip-4-Mac was applying a watermark and to remove it they wanted me to agree to a $30 downloaded pro version. It has been at least a year since I looked at a wmv, let alone used one.
The project exporting was shot with a Nikon, with sounds from Apple loops. What's up?

I'd consider getting rid of F4M if you think you don't need it. If the project stops playing correctly after uninstalling it you know the media is relying on it
somewhere. You can always reinstall it. I'd be tempted to remove the wmv files from the media folder too.
I think .mov can also contain wmv as a codec, you may want to check the actual encoding settings, you could still be using wmv inside a mov
