Help! Quicktime Movies playing only five still frames
When I try and play quicktime movies on my PC (Windows Vista) they play back with sound, but only five still frames from the movie play on the screen. How do i fix the problem?
I'm running windows vista and Quicktime 7.3.1. The problem shouldn't be the video card as all my other video player applications playback fine.
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
I have found the solution to this problem I presented.
Sorry, I didn't realize that a computer monitor cannot support these images accurately.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rossshane/fcpfaq.php
I had a Canopus ADVC-110 sitting right here.
Plugged it up to the TV,
and the images appeared fine.
But this brings up one more question:
Is there a way to have all these images from Final Cut accurately displayed on a computer monitor ?
I've got a lot of more of them around than TVs . . .
Sorry to have bothered you with this, but I would appreciate further information on displaying the images on a computer monitor.
Thanks !
Howard

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
Thanks,
BrandonDepends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

Video playback on external monitor only producing still frame
I am trying to use a HD TV as a playback device as managed to get it to work, however it has now stopped working and only produces a still frame. When I hit play it will play fine in the timeline but display only a still frame on the second monitor. I have made sure that the settings under video playback are set to full screen and that mirroring is turned off.
Even when I play back on Main the image on the main monitor only displays a still frame until the second monitor is unplugged.
Am I missing something?How is the TV connected?
If via firewire and an analog/DV converter, are you feeding the HDTV something other than a DV signal? If so, it won't work.

Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo?
Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo? Thanks
A still frame from an Event:
Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
A still frame from a Project:
Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
In both cases:
Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock. -

Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MVWhat is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

Hi, i`m having a big trouble (well, at least for me) with QT.
Every movie I play on it, plays very slow, almost frame by frame.
My PC has the following:
AMD Duron 900Mhz
354 MB RAM
SOYO K7VLM-B Motherboard
nVidia GeForce MX4000 with 64MB memory
Seagate 40 GB 5,400 rpm HDD
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime 7.0.2
My other PC works fine with it. Of course it does, it has:
Intel Celeron 1.7 Ghz
768 MB RAM
Acorp Motherboard
nVidia GeForce FX5200 with 128MB memory
Samsung 80GB 7,200 rpm
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime 7.0.2
So what's the problem i've with my duron machine? I have al minimum system requirements for using QT 7
Thanks.
Windows XP ProYour older computer is too underpowered to play videos encoded using H.264.
The "minimum" requirements are only for the install. Your machine can also not play HD content without slow playback and dropped frames.
If more than one size is offered (like the Movie Trailers pages) pick the smallest. Avoid anything with HD in its name.
My G3 Mac also has troubles with the newer content but plays older formats just fine. -
Why doesn't QuickTime movies play on iPad?
When I get a QuickTime movie attachment in email why won't it play on my ipad2. I thought QuickTime was a Apple product?
You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

Quicktime movies play a half scrambled screen in Windows XP with QT7
Sometimes the quicktime movies in windows xp will only play 1/2 screen and thats scrambled. The lower part of screen is usually a pixaly blue color. The Apple quicktime movies for fcp demos are like that. The same files play fine on my mac. What can I do to correct this if anything.
I am running the latest version of quicktime for windows
Thanks,

Optical Flow produces only a still frame
Weird bug; hoping there's a workaround...
When I choose a clip and select Video Quality >> Optical Flow, it analyzes it and renders a still frame for the duration of the clip. (The thumbnail indicates shows motion throughout the clip, but indeed it's just a single frame.)
Any help is much appreciated.As far as I can tell, this may only occur when the clip is set to a reverse direction (-100% speed, for example).

Quicktime Movies playing 4:3 in Widescreen Menus???
I have exported a 30 second Quicktime movie that was shot and edited in Anamorphic in Final Cut Pro by doing the following:
1) File --- Export ----- Quicktime Movie --- Current Settings ---- Video Only
I then set up the Movie Theatre opening menu in DVD Studio Pro in 16:9 Mode. I then imported the 30 second Quicktime movie that I just made in DVD SP and put it in the menu's drop zone. When I went to simulate the menu, the menu was playing in 4:3 mode in the 16:9 drop zone. Heads are getting cut off.
What am I doing wrong? Am I exporting wrong from FCP or is there a menu button or drop zone button that I am not pressing in DVD SP that I should be?
All I want to happen is that the QT movie that I exported from FCP play in perfect widescreen mode in a 16:9 menu in DVD SP.
Thanks in advanceIf the material is anamorphic then turn on the check mark in the anamorphic column in the browser and the video should display as 16:9.

Can a QuickTime movie play for more than 60 seconds per page
Can a Quicktime movie be set to play for more than 1 minute per page in Keynote. I have clips that run up to 3 minutes. For now I have pulled the clip into 3 different pages and set the times to match but I get a 10 second delay between the pages that is very distracting.
Yes I am trying to set up an automatic transition after the movie has played. I have still photos between the movies. I want the entire presentation to be self running. I did use the special builds in and out and have the action set at none. The movie clip will not run more than 60 seconds?

My older M-JPEG quicktime movies play black in Quicktime and Keynote
I was just recently asked to give a presentation that I had put together 3 years ago in Keynote. All of my quicktime movies that Keynote were using were M-JPEG and used to all play great the last time I opened my file. Since Then I've updated my OS to 10.7.1, I have a Macbook Pro, Quicktime 10.1, Keynote 09, but also have Quicktime Pro.
When I play my keynote, all of my movies come up black when they play. If I try and open my quicktime movies directly and play them in Quicktime or Quicktime pro, they also come up black. But I can open it in VLC and it plays fine.
I tried to start converting the quicktime movies using SmartConverter, but it's time consuming since I have over 50 quicktime movies that this keynote is referencing. Some of the quicktime movies are also erroring out too when trying to convert them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with M-JPEG quicktime movies that used to work just fine? Anything I could do across the board to be able to use these rather than converting them all?
Thanks,
DaleQuickTime in Lion is not reliable as of 10.7.1. The next OS update will fix this. Should be out tomorrow when Apple updates all of its software for iCloud.
See if your problems are gone then. -
Quicktime will play only seconds of file. Solutions?
Last night I downloaded an mpeg of about 250 mb. The file shows as being complete. When I open it and try to play it, it will play about the first 15 seconds, and that's it.
How do I get quicktime to play the whole file?
I've heard VLC is good, but is there a version for intel?
And will quicktime play WMV files, and if it won't, what will play them on my intel?
(It would be nice to watch a file or two on my shiny, expensive new toy!)
Hope these extra questions won't get me flamed, but I see them as stemming from my original QT question, so hopefully you'll forgive, lol.
Thanks,MPEG Streamclip can "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to save the file in a more QuickTime friendly format.

External video doesn't play but only shows still frame (some times).
When trying to view a clip or sequence on my external video monitor (NTSC via firewire through Sony converter box) and only for some of my projects, I cannot get the video to play. It displays a single frame and then updates when I stop playing a clip on the desktop. I've selected "all frames" in the External video option, but I cannot get it to play real time. This only happens with certain clips or sequences. Any ideas what's up?
I've been having this same issue. I'm pretty sure it has to do with one of my sequence settings. I have no issues when I'm playing back an SD project but when I try to playback an HD project to an SD monitor I encounter thsi problem where it stays locked on the last frame I paused at. I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD and attempting to playback over composite.

Quicktime movies playing sound with no picture (only in firefox)
Hi There,
I'm having a weird issue with quicktime in firefox on apple macs. I'm not really familiar with macs and I was wondering if someone can offer a solution? When I visit the page in firefox on a mac the video plays sound but not the picture. This seems to happen to all firefox browsers that I have tested.
I have a test link here for people to look at. http://www.wellcom.net.au/quicktime.aspxTo Apple Discussions!
Thank you for providing the link for others to test for you. A got a flash video which I had no problem viewing with sound. The picture did take a few seconds to appear. However, the sound came in right away. Here is the direct video link: http://www.wellcom.net.au/images/movingimages/BookCity.mp4
Picture & sound was instant from the .mp4 link.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software, repair permissions & restart your computer.
If the above does not work, then please advise which version of FireFox you are using?
