How do I import a quicktime movie?

Hi,
I think this is a super simple question, How do I import a
quicktime movie onto my page? I presume you go to
insert>media>? not to sure what comes next though? Is it
shockwave,applet,active x or plugin?
Thanks,
Beth H

There's not a default insert behavior for this built into
Dreamweaver, but a
quick search on the Exchange show that there is an extension
for this,
although I've not used it. Do a search for "quicktime" here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn120#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=E xchange%20Search
Make sure you set the program dropdown to Dreamweaver to
minimize the number
of hits. Should be the second one on the list: "Insert a
QuickTime Movie,
V1.0.1".
Hope this works for you. There is some additional information
about the
extension on the detail page that you might want to look at
to ensure
everything works properly.
Best regards,
Chris

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie? I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container. You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

Anyone know how to get subtitles into Quicktime movies?

With Quicktime now supporting subtitles. Does anyone know how import subtitles into Quicktime movies?
After following the instructions from Apple's support pages for timed text, I tried pasting in timed text. This displays text below the video in an ugly black bar, but isn't recognised as subtitles by Quicktime. Ideally, I'd like to convert srt files into a compliant format, but without knowing the correct format, it's a little difficult.

There haven't been any really clear instructions on how to get subtitles into QuickTime movies yet. Apple has posted a QuickTime component that will convert an SCC file into QuickTime and you'll find that here.

Also, a discussions user has posted instructions on how to CC a QuickTime movie in this thread.

How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks!

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!

Importing a Quicktime Movie made by iPhoto

I just exported 500 photos to a quicktime movie from iPhoto. I want to import it into Final Cut Express where I can put a musical score behind it to add effect to the photos.
Unfortunately, FCE wont import it as it says it doesn't recognise the file format. It is a "quicktime movie"
Any ideas?

John,
When playing a movie in QuickTime Player, you can hit Command + I to see the movie properties.
Doing this for an exported QT file from iPhoto, I see that it is NOT actually a movie file but just a series of JPEG photos with an MP3 soundtrack. Apparently QuickTime is smart enough to know how to play it as a slideshow (with a very low frame rate).
Dragging this into FCE, it shows on the Browser as a Sequence but it is actually not usable. Dragging to the Timeline gives an error, as does trying to open it up.
NOW... I used QuickTime Pro to Export that file into an Apple Intermediate Codec movie file (keeping the parameters to be "current" which was a 720 x 480 pixel file, originally specified from iPhoto's Export function).
THIS resulting file I could drag into FCE and into the Timeline. Rendering was required (probably due to the MP3 soundtrack).
You cannot open it up as a Sequence to edit, but you can stick it into your Sequence Timeline.
It plays fine in FCE along with the music, or just add your own soundtrack later.

How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
<pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

MP3 importing as Quicktime Movies? Huh?

Knowing my luck, the answer to this question is elementary, and I'm a cosmic dork. But please be generous and bear with me.
When I download MP3s directly from a web page (ie, www.blahblah.com/blah.MP3), I save them to my desktop, then import them into iTunes. But why-oh-why does iTunes then transform the MP3 into a Quicktime Movie? I lose important ID3 information when this happens.
I'd obviously like to keep the music in MP3 format.
Is there a setting that I can modify/turn off? I've peeked at my Quicktime Pro and iTunes prefs, and can't find anything obvious to change.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Mac mini 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Running iTunes 6.0.2 & QuickTime Pro 7

Chris--
This started happening when iTunes got the ability to play videos. The easiest way to prevent this happening is to avoid saving the MP3 from the browser window when the QuickTime browser plugin is loaded. Instead, back up a page and control-click (or right click if you have a multi-button mouse) and choose "Download Linked File to Disk" from the pop-up menu.
The "Save as Source..." menu item in the QT browser saves the file with the wrong type and creator codes, fooling iTunes into thinking it's a movie file.
I've posted a more complete explanation, along with an AppleScript that can be used to change the type and creator codes for a few files at once, instead of one at a time.

Importing a Quicktime movie into Motion 5: Why no video?

Hi,
I have made a Quicktime movie from a Final Cut Pro file. The movie plays OK opening it with Quicktime but when I import it into Motion 5 the audio plays but there is no video. Can anybody help?
Cheers,

Addtionally
What computer do you have (Type, Graphics card, OS)?
What codec did you use for the video?
Which version of Final Cut Pro (Express /7/X)?
We need more specific details to be able to help.

Why won't iMovie 08 import a Quicktime movie file?

Hello everyone,
I've created a Quicktime movie from Keynote. I've tried 720P and dv (but the quality is dire in dv). I can't drag and drop, and when I call up the import box the file is greyed out.
iM 08 seems to have so many problems. I use Keynote a lot in movies, always with exceptional results in iMovie HD.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the software no longer able to do this?
Thanks.

In Keynote, make sure you are using a timed slideshow, not a manual advance track. iMovie will not edit extraneous tracks like tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks, manual advance tracks, etc.

How to export a multitrack quicktime mov?

Hello,
So I'm trying to export a multitrack quicktime movie, so that my clients on the other end can have all 6 audio tracks laid out on their end. I've tried assigning roles to each track, and exporting using the option (export as multitrack quicktime movie), but it always ends up collapsing all audio tracks into one single track.
Has anyone found a more reliable workaround for this?
Specs. FCPX 10.1.4, OSX 10.10.2

You have to set how you want the roles to be exported in the settings tab.
Use the "Add Audio Track" button to create as many audio tracks as you need, and use the popups to switch the roles on or off, as desired, per track.
For example:

How to control audio-only QuickTime movies

I would like to be able to use the QuickTime controller to play an audio only QuickTime movie. I've read in this forum that hovering the mouse over a QuickTime movie is supposed to bring up the controller, but it isn't working for me. I've imported the movies (I have three on one slide) by both Insert > Choose … as well as dragging from the Finder. Afterwards, I get the speaker icon. When I play the show, the speaker icons don't appear.
Having the ability to be able to repeatedly play a .aif, .wav., mp3 sound would be nice as well, even if it is just start from the beginning and play.
Additionally, I'd also like to be able to play a movie by clicking on a movie, but I haven't found a way to do that. Perhaps it is not possible.

there's no sound that will be played by that code. and there's no code about a netstream instance.

How does one resize a quicktime movie -

I am trying to resize a Quicktime movie - from 720 pixels wide to 500 pixels wide - height does not matter. This on for a PC - I know how to do it on a Mac. Thanks

To change the dimensions would require the Pro upgrade. Use the Movie properties window to make the change in the width and check the box to maintain aspect ratio.

Trying to import a Quicktime movie and get error message

After exporting from FCP, using QuickTime settings, when I try to import into DVD Studio Pro 3, I get a message saying wrong format.
It says "could not import one file. Incompatible format".
(there's only one file I'm trying to import.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks.
J.

J.:
When you export from FCP take care of selecting QuickTime Movie self contained with same settings that your timeline (ussually the default settings in the export window).
Besides that my advice is you encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to Dolby AC3 before importing in DVDSP. DVDSP will leave audio uncompressed what can give you playback issues in some players because it take too much of your bitrate.
In DVDSP3 you must use A.Pack for the AC3 encoding. Try this tutorial about Encoding AC3 with A.Pack (from KenStone site).
Good luck.
