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).

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

HT4016 How to extract audio from a movie that is already in my project without having to delete and re-import the movie?

The article is
"How to extract audio from a movie file"
But it only tells you how to extract when you first drag the movie file into the project. This much is obvious when a dialog presents you with a checkbox asking if you want to "Extract the audio track" ... Duh
Here was my workflow:
Dragged the movie file into my project
I checked "Extract the audio track"
I shifted the "Movie Start Time"
Extracted audio track did not shift with the movie
I deleted the extracted audio and played the audio directly from the movie
Now, I need the audio extracted again at the current movie position
I knew where this option was in the Logic 9 menus, but I'm having trouble finding it in Logic X
Is this option still available, or has it been removed?

Solved:
I found the menu option for extracting or re-extracting the movie audio. BTW, the original article:
Logic Pro 9.1: How to extract audio from a movie file in 64-bit mode
should really also state the menu command for extracting the audio, not just the procedure when first adding the movie to the project.
Here's the menu command:
File>Movie>Import Audio from Movie
Cheers

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.
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ClosedCaptionImporter/index.html
Also, a discussions user has posted instructions on how to CC a QuickTime movie in this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5756610&#5756610
And here's another thread you may find helpful links in.

How to convert audio only avi to wav?

How to convert audio only avi to wav?
Can I extract only the audio from an avi and insert in to a wav file?
Regards,
Achi

Sure.
You just need to program a Processor to turn off any video tracks, transcode to a WAV-acceptable audio encoding, and then use a DataSink to store the output of the processor as a WAV file.
Also, I bet the following sample program will do it without any modification...

Please stop being impatient.
What do you mean "iTunes movie watcher"?

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 control audio in keynote?

- Adjusting the size of the icon does not create a controller. The on and off with a click created by build is not there when I make it a quicktime movie. Also I want to create more than one audio example on a keynote panel with controllers for each? OR visable placeable icons? Help. Thanks.

Hello Edward,
Thank you - but this does not seem to quite match what I am looking to do.
I have created a presentation where there are pictures of musical instruments. I then have two musical examples of the instruments playing - mp3s. When bounced to quicktime right now the only ting I can do is click to start - wait till it's over, click to start the next one, wait till its over. It responds to the wheel on my mouse but nothing else - I cannot stop by clicking or choose which one to listen to.
On the net someone said you could create a controller by making the icon bigger. This does not work. Do a stop audio in the build does not work in terms of stopping the audio.
Having a controller slide with controls would be nice, but even being able to play the audio by pressing a picture would be an improvement. It is surprisingly limited at present.
I appreciate your time.

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 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:

No Audio in Quicktime Movie taken from Camera

I have a Pentax OptioS6 and used its video capture mode. When I viewed the movie, it opened QuickTime, and then I received a message that software was missing, and was directed to the QuickTime Components web site, with several third-party components. I am not sure which one to install. Does anyone know how I should handle this issue. Without installing any software, there is no audio for the movie. In order to get audio do I have to install one of the third-party components? I already have DivX. So if this is the proper component to allow me to watch the movie with sound, do I simply use that program to open the movie?
Thanks in advance.
Russell

MPEG, Mono, 32.000 kHz is your audio and MPEG is the codec. Trouble is that doesn't tell me enough.
QuickTime can play MPEG-1 files but yours isn't because it shows DivX as the video codec. Normal MPEG-1 files are muxed (single codec and file) and your file shows two codecs.
Try playing and converting the file with MPEG Streamclip (free). It can export to QuickTime formats.

Missing Audio from Quicktime Movie Export

I've exported a Quicktime movie from FCP 6.0.4. It's an infomercial show so the call-to-action is a nested sequence on the main sequence timeline. When playing the Quicktime movie, the audio drops off in several 2 second bursts right in the middle of the show during the call-to-action. When played directly from the timeline, the audio is there fine. Early in the show, the same call-to-action nested sequence does NOT drop the audio.
I dragged the audio clip to a new track (one track above) and then re-rendered and re-output to a Quicktime movie. The same audio drop occurred in the same place again. I then marked an In/Out just for that small segment in the timeline and re-output again to Quicktime and the audio is fine.
My final Quicktime movie size is 150 GB (gigs) because it is full HD, uncompressed, 8-bit 4:2:2, and 28:30 long.
I've had a HORRIFIC experience the past 3 months just getting files to render properly and stay connected. It baffles me why Apple is working on SO many bells and whistles for FCP without having mastered their basic file management. It makes me want to check into AVID to see if they can at least give us the basics competently.
Thanks for any advice on this - I'm going to try to render out now in smaller segments and then patch together. Sad...

Make sure you do an audio mixdown. The manual explains the process.

No audio in Quicktime Movies

I have a problem with Quicktime Player version 10.1. After using Lion for a few days, I noticed that an entire folder of my Quicktime movies now play without audio. If I stop and start the movie, the audio momentarily comes through for a split second, so the sound is there, and will come through, but not during play. Video files in my other folders all played fine. Then unexpectedly, a few days later, the first folder of video files played with audio just fine. But I have another folder of Quicktime Movie files that now has the same problem. WMV and MPG files play fine in Quicktime. Any ideas what to do about this intermittant problem?

Thanks for the reply.
I do not have Perian, but I have Flip4Mac installed. But the problem is primarily with QuickTime Movie files, not MPEG, AVI, MP4 files.
An entire folder of Quicktime Movie files play, but without audio, then a few days later, they all play fine including the audio track. At the same time, on the same day, another folder of Quicktime Movie files will play just fine.
Then a few days later, every movie file on the computer played just fine with both video and audio.
Very strange. Never had a problem like this.
Wonder if it has anything to do with the automatic backups that Lion does that may tie up memory needed to play the audio?

How to do audio only chat?

I see under the Video menu there is an "Audio Chat Enabled". I usually prefer to do audio only chats rather than video. How to start an audio only chat?
Thanks,
Tony

Well, I really want to use it with my family. My son has Skype and he has it always running. My wife uses iMessages only. I like how iMessages is integrated with iOS--the program doesn't have to be running. With Skype, you have to make sure it is in the background.
Neither of them (and not of my friends) use any of the other Chat programs.

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.
