How do I 'rotate' a quicktime movie?

Hi
Maybe a dumb question.
My digital camera can take movies as well as pictures.
I have taken 2-3 which I really want to keep but they are in the wrong orientation.
Is it possible to rotate them like you can do a still image?
And if so how?????????
Cheers.
Robin

Is it possible to rotate them like you can do a still image?
Yes.
And if so how?
If you have QT Pro, open the clip in the QT Player. Trim the cip to the segment you are interested in if necessary. Open the "Show Movie Properties" window. Select your video track in the upper window area. Select the "Visual Settings" tab in the lower window area. Press the rotate left or right arrow button as needed. Note that the aspect ratio is also changed. If you are merging your segment with other "normal" segments, you may wish to use display offsets when merging the segments and follow up by cropping and/or scaling the final product in an application like MPEG Streamclip before distribution.

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

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
Keynote 4.0.2. Latest QuickTime (7.4).
Bob

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

Help Please! :o( How do I send a QuickTime movie to someone?

I am doing a project that I need to submit to my assessor's email address (who has a PC).
I created a slideshow in Keynote and have exported it as a QuickTime movie so that it can be viewed on a PC without losing the exciting transitions etc that I have included in the slideshow. However, when I click the 'Share' button in the QuickTime toolbar, none of the 'iTunes, Mobile Me, or YouTube' buttons are able to be selected.
I had some other movies stored on my mac from holidays etc, when I tried to Share those via iTunes etc, they work but my slideshow wont! :o(
Please help! Thank you! :o)

Some of the features found in Keynote versions of QuickTime files (automatic slide advance) prevent "sharing".
If the Keynote version is under 10 MB's you may be able to add it to an email. Most email programs have a file size limit for attachments.
Check the Keynote Discussions pages for more info.

How do I rotate an AVI movie?

This is a weird one, but here goes.
I'm using a Canon SD550, which makes AVI movies. I've got a couple of such movies where the camera was held vertically rather than horizontally. They don't display correctly in iPhoto or Quicktime.
My solution is to use QT Pro, open the properties window and change the visual settings for the video track.
Then I save as, which creates an MOV file. Then I import the new file back into iPhoto and copy the the time and date from the old, unrotated file and then finally, delete the old file.
The problem is that in one case the "poster frame" comes in garbled, no matter what I do. This is not the Quicktime poster frame -- it's the still frame that iPhoto shows you in the iPhoto library. It seems to have been taken from the first frame of the file, but it's all jumbled up and looks like a mess.
Does anybody know whether this is a serious problem? Does it mean the video is messed up somehow (it seems to play fine)? And does anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks very much to anyone who can help.
Steve

Steve,
I haven't tried rotating with QT Pro, but I do have a suggestion for you. My Canon came with ImageBrowser. I don't normally use it because iPhoto is superior. However, if you select a video clip in IB you can open it inside the Video Edit task. It has several functions to edit the clip, including actually rotating it. (By actually I mean that it's not just a display setting.) If you have this app, you could rotate the video clip before importing into iPhoto. I would expect that iPhoto would have no problem creating the poster frame and thumbnail correctly. I have used rotated clips in iMovie with no problems.
I thought QT pro could also properly rotate a video clip, without just changing the display settings. People on the QT forums or iMovie forums (esp QuickTime Kirk) would be able to advise you there.
Regards.

How can I update a quicktime movie placed in Keynote, that has been modified outside of Keynote??

HI! I really like Keynote for quicktime playback during a tv/film shoot, and use it frequently on set.
Media assets change frequently though, and it would be nice if the movies I place would update along with the external source.
How can this happen in Keynote? Seems like even if you save the file without copying audio/video into document, it still somehow references the initial placed movie.
Thanks for your help solving this problem, would be great if this app worked like every other app that imports external media.

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?

How can I get a quicktime movie in imovie?

I have a video saved as quicktime, .m4v, .3gp, .m4v and .mov. None of these will import into iMovie! How can I get this video in iMove???

MOV is a container, not a codec. so if it uses a codec that iMovie can read, then it should work.
.m4v should work. Codecs that work include h.264, DV, HDV, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, Motion JPEG/A and a few others.
Some.commercial .m4v's may have copy protection that would prevent iMovie from opening it.
Also, if any of these movies have extra tracks beyond the audio and video tracks, they will not work. This would include Chapter Tracks, Tween Tracks, Closed Captioning Tracks, and the like. These extra tracks could possibly be removed in QuickTime Pro.
.3gp would never work without converting it to something else.

How do you delete a quicktime movie?

I made a sample movie in quicktime and would now like to delete it and don't know how.

I figured it out. You cannot click on the movie and drag it to the trash while in the quicktime program. You have to go to the finder... look up the movie you want to delete, and then delete it from there.

How do I cut a quicktime movie into smaller pieces?

I have several downloaded clips that I want to work with in imovie. I have one in mpeg2 in particular. I have also exported it to a QT movie.
I have QT Pro, Mpg2 Component and Streamclip. I want to be able to work with smaller parts to avoid the non-destructive editing memory hog. Simple question, I hope.

My recommendation would be to open the file(s) in MPEG Streamclip, set approximate in/out points for each segment and convert each to DV/DVCPRO format. Clips can then be dropped/imported into iMovie and reassembled for final edits. (I assume there is audio you wish to preserver here.)

How to export quicktime movie?

I was wondering how I can export a quicktime movie (camcorder film) to a smaller size but that can also be played on both Mac and PC computers? I tryed to export a couple time using encoding such as MPEG-4 but the movie accually was much smaller to view than the original and the second time I tryed to encode it at a bigger size, the movie played at the same sze as the original but at a lower quality because it was stretched.
Can anyone help me with this. I just want to export and save a quicktime movie into a playble formate for both mac and windows and also not taking up too much disk space either. Thank you.

One could write a book (I did) that explains what all the codecs do and where and when to use them.
You need only need to know where the file will be viewed and its source format.
As Rick has pointed out, most new digital cameras capture in DV (Digital Video) and they are nearly instantly ready for software editing (like iMovie). QuickTime Pro can also edit the .dv files.
Once you determine where the file will be viewed (the Web for example) you'll get an understanding of methods to "compress" the file to fit the planned playback.
Three major factors that reduce the file size:
The new dimensions (720X480 DV files) to Web 320X240 (DV uses rectangular pixels).
Reduce the "frame rate". If the source was 30 frames per second you can usually remove half of them (15fps). Use more fps if the source has lots of motion.
The codecs used. Compressor-decompressor is handled by the delivery format (.mov or .mp4). Some are more efficient and offer better quality when enlarged during playback. MPEG-4 is the most modern and will soon become the next generation of DVD (currently MPEG-2).
This is where your question can only be answered by you. The quality can be adjusted (some codecs offer "sliders"; good better best while others allow you to set a data rate) and only you know what is acceptable.
Rick suggests a "one minute" export and I agree. Use various settings and data rates and use your eyes to decide what is acceptable.
Don't forget that part of your capture was audio. If your camera captures only mono formats making the export into stereo does nothing but double the size of the audio track. The Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format found in MPEG-4 exports does a great job of reducing the file size. You can control these settings at export, too.
