How do I change a Quicktime poster frame in iweb?

I have a quicktime movie on my iweb page that starts in black. I set a different poster frame in quicktime but it still displays as black until you play it in iweb and when it's published.
Is there a way to change this poster frame in iweb so that it doesn't display a black frame before you play it?
I guess I could edit one frame at the very beginning of the original movie but I would rather not have to do it that way.

Select one of those files, CMD+I, select QT 7 from the Open With list, and then click the Change All button. Repeat for any in the format class you want to change.

Poster Frames in iWeb?

When I set poster frames in iweb or quick time pro or even compressor they do not appear in browser? May be a bug in iWeb. Or yet a long standing problem? Thank you for you help all.
David

Having same problem. Use IWeb 08 Inspector to set poster frame, looks correct in IWeb, “publish all” to MobileMe and poster frame does not work. Purchased quicktime Pro to enable the set poster frame option, but $30.00 later still could not find a way to maintain IPod touch .m4v compatible format. Save would change to .mov format which Touch could not read. New to mac so may be a way to use QuickTime Pro to save .m4v format, but as work around used the following steps in IMovie HD v6 on Ibook:
1) Slide to desired poster frame
2) File/ Save Frame
3) Drag frame to front of timeline
4) Insert Fade In transition between picture frame and movie
5) Drag picture down to 0.01 seconds (which now acts as poster frame)
Can’t load IMovie 08 so not sure if has same Save Frame option, but if not IMovie HD 6 can be downloaded for free if ILife 08 installed.

How do I change a QuickTime video header?

IWeb losing Quicktime poster frames upon publish

I have pages with many videos published, and have to painstakingly set the poster frame on every video.
Then if I make any changes and re-publish, ALL the poster frames are lost and I have to do it all again.
THIS IS AN AGONIZINGLY IRRITATING BUG and I may switch platforms just because of this one idiotic bug.
Any suggestions? Or are we just yelling into the Apple support cave?

This is a royal PITA. I have battled this for a long time and have created my own workaround. I too have a lot of videos. I create a video album in IPhoto. Then I create aan album page in IWeb and drag the Album into IWeb album page. I click the album and all of the videos show in the matrix. I set the poster frame like normal in each video. BTW, when you republish, all of the poster frames are reset to the actual 1st frame of video, which is usually black for me.
When you publish the first time, the poster frame gets renamed thumb.jpg. If you publish to a folder, the thumb.jpg resides in the same folder as the movie file. When you publish again, the thumb.jpg in IWeb gets changed back to the first frame of the video. What I do is save the folders with the correct thumb files in them. When I publish the site again, I only ever upload the new pages. Even though there is a choice to only publish changes, It redoes all of the files and folders in the new site folder. I thentake out of the second site folder that I published, the additional pages and upload those additional pages. I do this as I add to the site. That way, the original poster frames never get changed once they are uploaded. And since I save the original published files , I can always upload in case I accidentally republish the page.
Hope that's not too confusing.

How can I change to a higher frame rate than 12 FPS?

Just got a good deal on a 15 in MACBOOK Pro running Yosemite with the latest Quicktime and iMovie. Is the best frame rate I can get out of this HD camera 12fps? I can't find anywhere to change it in QT or in IMovie.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

So you seem to correctly understand the information in the linked Use More Light! article.
studiojl wrote:... I don't like that at all...
Your emotion is irrelevant. It simply works the way Apple software is written. Perhaps some other computer system works different from Mac OS X and Apple camera apps?
If you intend to keep using Mac, you can take manual control of some camera parameters by using a third party add-on app such as iGlasses, Webcam Settings, or Sight Control.
studiojl wrote: ... what frame rate does it pick if I import one 30 FPS clip and one 60 FPS clip?
Whatever frame rate is set by the program of the software application you are using to record those clips.
You can determine that frame rate by making short test videos and watching it in QT Player.
The QT "Inspector" window will show you the frame rate for the clip.
Here's an example for a clip made in my low-light room:

Poster frame for chapter marker

In many of my productions the best place for a chapter marker isn't the best place for the vidoe to show up within a drop zone. Is there a way of keeping a chapter marker at a given timeline location but assign a different frame from the chapter to represent it on a DVD chapter chooser.
Andy

And now I am having trouble importing my chapter markers. The export fine to QT from FCP, they show on the lower R of QT. But when importing the movie into iDVD (haven't tried DVDSP yet) they do not show. My preferences indicates to ask about importing the markers - which it doesn't. And I tried import markers- which it didn't. So1) Any thoughts on what this issue is and 2) how do I change the chapter poster frame for a chapter marker within DVDSP?

Imporing QT movies but set poster frame doesn't remain in iWeb

I've "set poster frames" in the Quicktime movies that I am importing into iWeb. They appear properly in my working iWeb file but the poster frame I've set doesn't remain after the site is published. The Quicktime poster frame goes back to black. Anyway to fix this?

you can of course set the QT background to any color, I use white, in the Export window. Blends into the background of my page which is also white.

Changing the colour of frame window

How can I change the colour of frame window and set some other colours?
Rony

Yes I did. I got this code by Rodney.
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
UIManager.put("activeCaption", Color.RED);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();It is a good one. But the extreme outer border still looks blue. Also, a window like icon is shown and some dots are shown near to minimize button. How to avoid these?

How do I change page size?

I'm totally new to the mac platform and to iWeb but have some dreamweaver experience on PC. I have a very simple question. How do I change the size of page in iWeb 08. When I use a template it has a fixed page length and I can't seem to add content and make a vertically longer page. Thanks.
Sam

Go to the "page" inspector and select "layout". Here you can change the dimensions by using the up & down arrows or by typing in a new dimension and hit the "enter" key.
You can also lengthen a page quickly by dropping a text box onto it as a "footer". Enter your copyright info into it then click hold and drag it down the page until you get the length you require.
eg "Copyright © Sam - 2007 - All Rights Reserved"
You get the © by typing "option" g

How do you set the Poster Frame to display on a webpage with Quicktime Pro?

This is how the embed code is installed in HTML on my webpage. The Poster Frame image will not display when browsing the website in iPhone nor will the image display on the cached 8 image browser window in Google Chrome internet browser. Is there a way to include the poster frame or JPEG image in the embed code?
embed -- start
width="853" height="496" src="htp://example.com/mymovie-Desktop.m4v"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime"
embed -- end

Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
GetValueOrDefault
EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
questions...
To be clear:
Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

How do I select the Poster Frame when exporting to video?

PP CS6
I cannot find how to select the frame that I want to appear as the Poster Frame in the exported video.
I can select it I can change one by right clicking an imported video OK but not the sequence!
I've been through every menu I can find & even Lynda.com training!
I'm sure that there must be a way but I'm blowed if I can find it!!

There are two common meanings for the phrase "poster frame":
A standalone image on disk (JPG etc) which is displayed by a player before the video is loaded - commonly used by video player apps on websites (YouTube etc), InDesign and PDF files, etc. so the video asset doesn't have to be opened in order for the viewer to see what they're about to watch - although the image is normally captured from the video it doesn't have to be.
An image resource embedded into the XMP/ID3 data of a video or audio file which can sometimes be shown in the player, but is normally set because it appears as the thumbnail image when viewing the files in Finder or Windows Explorer. It's not part of the content stream, it's in the file header. In MP3 files it's used to store album artwork.
You can create standalone JPEG images from PP using the camera icon below the monitor and can semi-automate the export of a still image alongside your video using presets in Adobe Media Encoder, but there's no option in PP (or via Adobe Media Encoder) to specify the embedded poster image in a rendered media file. Several third-party apps can do it, either during render (Compressor / Squeeze) or after the fact (Quicktime Pro), but support for these embedded resources depends on the wrapper for the video file.
The ability to set a 'poster frame' in the clip bins in PP is solely there to help you organize your project assets visually - for example if the imported footage starts from black, or if you want to choose a frame where the slate is visible - but your choice has no effect on the sequences at export and isn't written back into the original footage.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

How do I change the colour of a PS frame?

I am creating christmas cards and adding photos of my kids onto christmas backgrounds. I am dragging frames from the right hand side but want to change the colour of these frames - can someone please tell me how to do that?
I've worked out how to do it by clicking on the black/white circle and using the hue/saturation but when I go to do that with the frame on the new background, the colour of the background changes instead of the frame. I need to change the frames colour while on the background to get an exact match to what I want (does that make sense???)
Is there an easier way to create a frame for the photos? I also want to create a text box / frame (with the christmas message) with a solid colour background (different to the main background) can anybody tell me how to do that?
An example of what I am trying to do is here http://www.invitations2impress.com/christmas-cards-gift-tags
Thanks in advance )

In a nutshell, you have to simplify the frame layer and erase the interior.
Here are the steps:
Create your background.
Add a new layer:
Drag the frame you want to use onto the editing surface. The frame will come in on its own layer:
Simplify that frame layer:
Choose the Magic Wand Tool and give it these settings:
Click on the interior gray area of the frame with the Magic Wand to select it, and hit your Delete key:
Switch to the Eraser Tool and erase the stuff that's left in the middle:
Select the empty layer (Layer 1 in this example) and use File...Place to place your image on it. The layer name will change to the name of the image. Adjust the size and placement of the image. Your layers will now look like this:
With the frame layer selected, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, making sure to "clip" it to the frame layer. Adjust the sliders to suit:
The final result:
