How Set Video Poster Frame (Image) for Intro Media?

iBooks Author Mavens,
How can the Poster Frame (aka, Poster Image) for the Intro Media segment of an iba video be set?
Irrespective of anything I do with the Widget Inspector...such as attempting to move the Poster Frame to a frame at the desired ~7 second point (in a ~10 second clip)...iBA keeps resetting the Poster Frame to ~2.5 seconds (not wanted).
Very, very frustrating...suggestions?
Many, many thanks!
Plane Wryter

If you use a video in any place but intro, will your iBA let you choose and keep any poster frame setting you like?

  • Setting the poster frame/image in CS5

    Hello,
    I am not sure if the title is even the correct term - so my aplogies. I have a video I edited in Premiere Pro CS5. When I put the video on an iPad the image thumbnail for the video is a picture from 10 seconds into the video. I would like to change it so that the thumbnail that I see on an iPad is the image from 7 seconds into the video. Is my terminology correct and how can I do this?
    Thank you.

    Haven't done it: google is your friend:
    See post #3 here:

    I wonder if there is a different property you can add somewhere that will do this without any manual activity, but I did not look further than this post.

  • How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

    Need some help on the following.
    Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
    thx ra

    This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

  • IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

    I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
    I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes. 
    When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video.  I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame. 
    I then sync and reboot on the iPad.  Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
    Repeated the above twice.
    Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
    Have removed all files from iPad and then added back.  Back to black poster frames.
    I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view.  When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    BUMP.
    Still looking for an answer on this.  In addition to the above:
    I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
    I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
    Setting ratings made no difference.
    I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
    Still same results.  Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to.  And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
    Apple, Please help!!
    Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

  • Missing Art and "Set Poster Frame" Images

    Has anyone come across this yet? I have a very large library and since upgrading to iTunes8, well over 75% of the artwork or 'Set Poster Frame' images either have been found or I have created over the years does not show up in any of the iTunes view in the main window. All of the art is located in the correct "Album Artwork" folder. To make matters more confusing, it seems to be random as far as what files are effected. So it does not matter if it has been media that I have loaded in or something I have purchased from the iTunes Store. And to make matters more annoying, ALL the art work shows up in the "Now Playing" window. I have run the "Get Album Artwork" a couple of times to see if that would help but it has not. I have also randomly played various songs or movies to see it that would help iTunes find the art. That doesn't work either. Any Ideas?

    I'm working on Twilight Zone right now. I'd like to have a different image for each episode: the broken glasses from "Time Enough at Last", or the gigantic alien from "To Serve Man"; i.e., an image that will reflect the content of THAT episode. Then, for the grid view, where you simply see the show names of all the shows you have (TZ Season 1, Season 2, etc.), I'd like the generalized 'box cover' image to display. I've tried right-clicking on the SHOW in the grid view, and then pasting an image into the "Artwork" box on the Info tab. I've then used the "Set Poster Frame" function (as outlined in the help section you cited in your reply) to choose a specific image from a specific episode. But iTunes won't retain my choices - it either shows the box cover image for all the episodes, or show the 'Poster Frame' from whichever episode I happened to first perform that function on. Thank you for your help.

  • 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

  • Re: How can I post an image?

    Merging the hints, how does this look?
    Showing an image in Apple Discussions requires two things.
    1. The image has to exist and be accessible from a working server somewhere.
    2. Then the image can be referenced in html and will appear in your post.
    1. To achieve the first you need to register on one of the many free web photo hosting sites. An example of one would be Flicker. (If you have your own web site you can of course host your picture there.)
    Having taken a snapshot of the thing in question (the image), perhaps by using the Grab application on your Mac, you upload the image to your photo hosting site.
    You'll then need to get its URL from the site. It might be easy to see or you might have to read the site's FAQ for those details, as there are differences between sites.
    Easier still, if you are using Safari or Firefox right clicking (or Control click with a one button mouse) on the uploaded image will copy the link for you.
    It will have a form like this:
    http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg
    When you find it, open a new tab in your browser and paste it into it, to check that it displays and is therefore the correct URL for the image.
    2. To add this image to your post here on Apple Discussions, place an exclamation point before and after the link, illustrated as,
    !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg!
    which produces the image in the post.
    !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg!
    An alternate html format is;
    <img src="http://source.address.of.image.jpg"/>

  • How do you show thumbnail images for the contacts?

    How do you show thumbnail images for the contacts on the iPod?
    -Thank You

    In another thread I posted a suggestion to try when the iPhoto app in the Application folder will not work:
    after upgrading the OS, iPhotos (and Aperture for that matter) should still be in the Applications folder...
    And running well in 10.10.3.
    If it stops running in a next "update" do not throw it away: most apps will continue running as follows:
    In the Applications folder "rightclick" (CTL+click) the iPhoto app, then "show package contents", then click the MacOs folder open: you see the real app (dark grey), rightclick this and choose "make alias", an alias is made, move this alias to the Applications folder and use it to run iPhoto.
    Same for Aperture.
    In older OS this survived several upgrades....

  • Poster frame working for anyone?

    On 10.6.7
    iWeb 3.0.3 (501)
    Setting a poster frame for a QT inside of iWeb doesn't seem to take.
    One used to be able to set that frame in QTPro 7 but I am now on QT 10 and a lot of the functionality of QTPro has been removed. (sigh)
    Any suggestions?
    D.

    You don't need to install Quicktime 7 just the Quicktime Player 7.6.6.  Here's where you get it:  QuickTime Player 7.6.6 for Mac OS X v10.6.3.

  • Setting the Poster Frame

    I'm editing videos in FCPX then sharing them directly from FCPX to Vimeo or You Tube. This is a great feature but I'd like to be able to set the poster frame before it leaves FCPX.
    Anyone know if this is possible?

    You can't. This isn't a function of the editing system, but of the application that builds the web page. It has to be set on there. Vimeo lets you set the poster frame.

  • I set a poster frame in the timeline, but the thmbnail in the menu does not update. Why?

    I have used poster frames correctly in other projects before, also in encore cs6.
    In this project, it's not working.
    haveing had it working before, i'm sure its nothing to do with the OS, or media type, since that was the same in my previous projects. Any other ideas as to common causes?

    I've seen weirdness on this one myself.  Usually changing the poster frame by a frame or two clears it up.
    I've actually gotten into the habit of setting my poster frames before I make the chapter links.  That way it always works.

  • Changing the video that I loaded as intro media to my iBook?

    How do I change the video that I loaded as intro media without re-doing my whole iBook? Thanks!

    Are you asking how to replace the intro media or how to update a book in the store?
    Replacing the intro media is just a matter of selecting the current one, then deleting, then repeating the process to add using your new asset.

  • Choosing a freeze frame image for video

    Can I choose the "freeze frame" of the video - the still image that viewers first see before pushing play? Thanks!

    It can be set in the Pro version of QuickTime Player 7 (not QuickTime X) with View > Set Poster Frame.
    Then save the file.

  • Video Poster Frames

    Hi Everyone,
    Can someone assist me please.  I'm trying to automatically auto-generate poster frames for videos.  Currently I have videos that's embeded into our site, before pressing play a blank screen is displayed.  I would like to have someway of going into the video for say 30 seconds and display that as the poster frame prior to pressing play.

    The YouTube preview images are created during the upload/encoding process.
    It has nothing to do with the YouTube player.
    Strobe Media Playback is a video player.
    There is no encoding process which can create and save an image.
    You may be able to automate the create-poster-image process on your server using FFMPEG.
    Search for "FFMPEG poster image" and you will find some methods using PHP for example.
    There was (may still be) a plug-in for JW Player for creating preview images.
    It involves a SWF plug-in file and some PHP code.
    I could not get it to work as there was little to no documentation.
    Perhaps for commercial subscribers they provide help to get it working.
    It may be possible to create a Strobe plug-in to do something similar.
    But the Strobe project seems to have gone dormant so you are definitely on your own for that one.
