Full motion preview as video file icon?

is there a way to give a video file a finder icon that shows a full-motion preview, much like the small clip that plays when you highlight a video file in frontrow? thanks!

Hi gazer,
I'm not certain about a Finder icon to assign to a video clip but here's an example of what you can do.
Open a Finder window. Select "Column View" from the buttons just right of your Forward/Back buttons. Now, in the Sidebar on the left, click Movies, (or whatever file you keep videos in, it's handy to keep them in the Sidebar)... a list of video files will appear. Just select one. A video clip will appear in the column to the right and you can view it that way. If need be you can Customize your Toolbar in any Finder window. Just open a Finder window, then in the Menu top of your Desktop, click View/Customize Toolbar.
Hope this helps...
Carolyn

  • Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

    On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver.  I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator.  I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it.  I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything.  Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

    Hi Yammer,
    Thanks for the response.  From what I can tell it is all video file types.  The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4.  I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

  • Elements 12 Organizer unable to preview .mts video files

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1. I have the newest version of Apple QuickTime (7.7.6) installed.
    I import .mts video files from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 for organizing along my still photos. I am absolutely certain that previewing the video files in Elements Organizer used to work fine at least before I upgraded from Elements 11 to 12. Maybe it also has been working in Elements 12, but I cannot tell for sure. Now, instead of a preview, I get the error 'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'. If I add one of these files to an Premiere Elements video project, however, the file plays nicely from the Premiere timeline.
    I have tried downgrading my Quick Time versions all the way down to 7.3, with no result.
    Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

  • Changing video file icons

    Hi,
    I know how to change icons usually, but when I try to change the icons of a video file it comes up as just blank in the finder. The picture shows as the icon in 'file info', but not under preview or in the finder window. How do I change this? I've tried a few things, from dragging and dropping the jpeg file to copying the actual image from preview.
    I'm backing up a whole stack of dvds, and it would be handy to use an image other than the standard first black frame that's automatically chosen for most of them.

    Not sure what you did for the two hours "making the menu" but I don't think you would need to redo that effort.
    The surest way to keep the DVDSP project from becoming corrupt is to open the project and delete the old asset (need to delete it from any container it is used in (like a track) then delete it from the project. Save the project and quit.
    Go to the par folder for the project and delete the parse file for the asset.
    Encode new asset with slightly different name (like asset_02) then bring this new asset into DVDSP and load it into whatever container it was in before.
    And of course before you do any of this make a copy of the project file.
    Cheers,

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - Disable thumbnail preview in PDF file icons on Desktop

    After upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9, the file icons of PDF files on my Windows 7  desktop changed to showing a thumbnail preview. I want to get the standard PDF file icon back for all PDF files. Can someone please tell me how?
    Thanks.

    Did you ever find an answer for this??? I had the same issue and was searching for an answer. I saw this and since I fixed mine I thought I would tell you what I did. Also, in case someone else finds this and needs an answer.
    Opened Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options
    Go to the View tab
    Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
    Hit Apply
    All your PDF files on your desktop should now show with the generic PDF icon.
    Reverse this to get the preview icon "thumbnails".

  • Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

    Hi,
    I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

  • Full motion recording in separated file then the main swf file . Why ?

    Dear all,
    When you publish your projet with
    captivate 3 , now the full motion recording sequences are in
    separated .swf files ...
    I would have prefer to only have one .swf file with the
    content and one with the skin as it was the case in
    captivate 2 .
    Is there an option I could change to only have the swf file
    and the xx_skin.swf file
    only ?
    Imagine the mess I would have on my learning web site if I
    had more then one swf file for each learning sequences (as I store
    all .swf file in the same folder) :(

    Hi all
    What kiwikangaroo listed is John's method. Since the basic
    process has already been outlined, I'll add some things that should
    be considered as well as a caveat or two.
    First, the existing project should be published to a
    temporary folder. When publishing, it is rather critical that you
    ensure that you are publishing for a Flash 7 target. I believe if
    you choose Flash 8 or 9, the process will fall apart.
    Once you have done this and are at the point where you are
    inserting blank slides, make sure each blank slide is timed exactly
    matching the slide with the Full Motion clip. Then you insert the
    matching Full Motion clip from the temporary folder onto the blank
    slide and delete the original. This will need to occur for all
    slides containing full motion clips.
    There are a few animations out in the gallery that if used,
    will also cause additional .SWF files to be created. This is
    because the animations that do this were published as Flash 8 or 9
    and not 7 or earlier. I've sorted the ones that embed fine and the
    ones that don't. So if you run into this issue, you either don't
    use that particular animation, or you use something like SoThink
    SWF decompiler (or open the .FLA) and recompile it using Flash 7 as
    the target. That is, assuming you have Flash available and know how
    to use it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I've had a problem with previewing rendered video files

    Hey guys, I'm Justin,
    thanks in advance.
    so when I render video files in fce, the video usually renders fine, but on the canvas the video just replays the first and last frame of the rendered video, making it look like a jumbled mess. but, when I export it as a quicktime file it runs just fine, I think the problem is in my canvas and I don't know how to fix it.
    Also I recently upgraded my system from 2gb of ram to 4gb of ram, can fce recognise this or do I need to do something fancy
    Thank you so much,
    Justin

    Hello, Justin, and welcome to the forum.
    Where is the video coming from and how are you getting it into FCE? Almost always, your best bet is to convert your media into a format with which FCE works natively before you bring it into the program. If you do that, rendering and lots of other issues are minimized.

  • Can motion mask a video file with a greyscale zdepth map ?

    Like so http://www.deathfall.com/article.php?sid=5039
    Or Like Photoshops Mask layer tool, ?
    Or in other words. Take one color layer and one zdepth layer(greyscale) and mask out all of the black

    Heya,
    The Image Mask tool allows you to mask an object using the Red, Green, Blue, Alpha or Luminance channels of another object. Just select the object you want to mask, go to Object->Add Image Mask and you're good to go.
    Also, the Compound Blur filter allows you to blur an object in the same manner (in case you want to do a depth-of-field blur).
    Good luck!

  • Video files captured with FCP 7 appear to be text files in the finder!

    I've recently updated to FCP Studio 3 and am having a strange problem with HDV video that I have captured. The video shows up in the browser and plays in the timeline just fine, but I am unable to send any footage to Motion. I get an error saying that the file is missing. I cant even import directly from within Motion because the video files aren't even visible to the program! I am also unable to use any of the video files in drop zones in Master Templates in FCP. If I navigate to my footage in the finder, the files appear as text files. Yet if i double click on one, it opens in Quicktime and plays. This happens whether I capture video with the apple intermediate codec or any of the new Pro Res codecs.
    I should mention that I had no problems before i updated. Help!
    Jerry

    See this link:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2108336&tstart=90
    Another work around: after capturing in Pro Res, when you look at your clips in the browser, when you label them add .mov to the end of the label. Then modify>rename>file to match clip. This will convert file on your scratch disc from tesxt file to .mov QT file which you can then use in other applications.

  • Diff between "MPEG-4 Video File" & "MPEG-4 Movie" (PC) ?

    iTunes seems to play both video types. I have several dozen of each on my PC. Both are in my iTunes "Movies" folder and all are video.
    The "MPEG-4 Video File" icon is the little music note on top of a CD with "MPEG 4" under it.
    The "MPEG-4 Movie" icon is a little "Q" in what looks like a film frame with "MPG4" under the Q.
    Is there difference in the way iTunes handles either and should I save video files in one mode or the other? Why?
    Thanks!

    Handbrake includes a universal setting which makes the video compatible with the iPhone/iPod, Apple TV, and with iTunes on your computer. It also includes an iPhone/iPod compatible setting.

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • Full-motion Video

    OK, I have cerated a number of chapters in an onlien tutorial
    and they are all working fine. But now I am creating one chapter
    that will need to utilize a long (20-30 secs.) of full-motion
    video. When I do the capture, and switch over to full-motion (F9),
    it appears everything is fine. I switch back (F10) and then end my
    recording.
    The first issue is that Captivate breaks up the full-motion
    section into several segments, resulting in a visible glitch
    between them when playing back. (I am also finding that the program
    crashes frequently when working with full-motion, so I am saving
    and restarting frequently.)
    But the real problem comes in playback over the web. There
    seems to be a problem in the file picking up the swf video at the
    right moment and I am sometimes seeing nothing but a black screen.
    If I play the file a few times, then it seems to load and play back
    OK, but is there anything I can do to ensure a consistent playback?
    Thanks!
    bobby

    Hi Ray,
    You are experiencing "normal behavior" for the use you are
    putting Captivate to. It was never designed as a full motion video
    capture tool. I won't argue whether or not the marketing people
    ever said it was capable of doing what you say you bought it to do,
    but I really doubt they would make a claim that everyone knows is
    not true ... if you can find something official from Adobe
    asserting that, I'd sure be interested in seeing it.
    The full motion feature was intended to be used to
    demonstrate 2-3 second drag-and-drop operations, or use of a
    scroll bar action of about that duration. In addition, you stated
    you are capturing at 1024x768 size, which is an image of truly
    gigantic proportions - adding to the full motion load you are
    already throwing at the product. Could it be that another product
    is better suited for what you want to do? I'd consider that
    seriously because you are asking more of Captivate than I believe
    it can deliver on anything but a machine designed for 2015
    processor speeds with infinite resources.
    It is especially sad that you own and used Captivate 1.0.1,
    then spent an additional 30 days using the Trial version of
    Captivate 2.0 ... but are just now finding it doesn't do what you
    thought it should do. Again, sorry for your trouble.

  • Supporting full-motion swf files

    Hello,
    Is there a way to create only one swf file even though the
    project contains partial full motion recordings? Thank you in
    adavance for your time and response. Özlem

    Hi Özlem
    There may be. Here is how I've accomplished it. This
    technique was developed by fellow Adobe Certified Instructor John
    Daigle.
    Publish your project to a temporary location. Lets call it
    Folder A.
    When you publish, it's important that you ensure that your
    Publish dialog lists Flash Player 7 as the target version.
    After you have published, insert a blank before each slide
    containing full motion video (FMV). Configure the play time for the
    slide to match the FMV slide.
    Now insert the corresponding FMV clip you find in Folder A
    where you published earlier. After you insert, delete the original
    FMV slide. Rinse and repeat until all FMV slides have been removed
    and matching slides with FMV from the temporary folder have been
    inserted.
    Publish again (and again ensure you publish to Flash 7 as the
    target).
    As I said earlier, this process worked for John and it works
    for me. But I've outlined it here before and it failed for one or
    two folks. I'm not sure why. There are a few little animations that
    may need tweaking if you are using those.
    Hopefully you will be successful with it... Rick
