How to make a Quicktime movie start when I want, not automatically?

Is there any way to control when a Quicktime movie starts playing? I can pause and resume it pressing the K key, but I would like the ability to start a movie inside a slide clicking a key or the mouse.
Any ideas?

Hugo, in Keynote movies automatically start whenever they appear on a slide, either because they have "built in" on a slide, or because the slide they are on has transitioned in (and the movie has no build itself).
Given this, there are two ways to control the start of a movie. One is to put the movie on a separate slide, and advance to that slide when you want the movie to start. If you like, you can do a screenshot of the first frame of the movie and put that on the prior slide, so that it looks like the movie is paused on the first frame, and when you click, it runs. If there is no transition effect used on the second slide, the audience won't be aware that you have used two slides to achieve this effect.
The other way to control the start is to assign a build to the movie, so that it builds in on a click. Again, you can have the first still from the movie already on the slide, and then, when you want to play the movie, have it build in directly on top of the still -- this will again give the appearance of a stopped movie suddenly starting up.

How to make the background move over when a movie clip hits the edge

ok so the idea here is to make a page with written content on it. the conent will not be able to be seen unless the user hits the arrow keys on there key board. So i need to make a group of objects i can make into a movie clip and than inside that movie clip make an animation that plays the squirrel running. i will pause here to ask two things i dont know how to do i want the squirrel to have an animation when standing still where it flicks its tail (like a real squirrel would). and also how would i flip the squirrel so when the left key is pressed it points left and when the right arrow is pressed it faces left? and my main question when it reaches the edge of the stage the extended background that runs off stage moves over to reavel more content. as well as not have the squirrel run off stage? in short i am using the squirrel to view the full pages content.

You're asking for quite a bit and aren't likely to get anyone to hand you a detailed solution. Here's some things to think about.
As far as flicking the tail goes, that's something you'll have to work out as an animation. You could do it as a timeline animation and/or as a coded animation where you adjust the rotation and other properties of the tail.
Getting the object to face left and right ican be a simple matter of changing its xscale property from 1 to -1 depending on which way it normally faces (1).
If you don't have a problem making the squirrel move to the edge, then you should have no problem making the background move either. You just need to continually check the squirrel x property to know when it hits the edge. Personally, I would only move the background and leave the squirrel in the center.

Have new iMac with latest version of quicktime. But still have FCP5. When try to make a quicktime movie this version only processes 8 sec of a 7 minute sequence. What's up?

It is strange. I thought 10.x might be the more recent but it also locked up when I tried to the web export. I ran into the no autoplay issue with the webpage so I'll need to look elsewhere to replace a Flash gallery... oh well. Looks like there are probably JS option that might work.
Thanks.

How do I encrypt QuickTime movies?

I need to make some QuickTime movies available for review by associates. The movies have to be secure; that is, they can't be publicly viewable. The movies have to be playable in QuickTime Player on the desktop so the reviewers can see the Player's time index counter. (Embedding the movies in a web page is no good; the QuickTime browser plugin's controller has no time index counter.)
If I store the movies on a password-protected server, QuickTime Player's *Open URL* menu command won't open the movies. Apparently the Player doesn't know what to do when it encounters a password-protected address. It just sits there and does nothing.
QuickTime apparently has the ability to play encrypted movies, though. The user adds a "media key" in QuickTime's Preferences:Advanced:Media Keys dialog, which key is provided by the author who encrypted the movie.
An encrypted movie could be stored on a non-password-protected site. In other words, the movie could be publicly available as long as it's not publicly viewable.
The question is, how to encrypt QuickTime movies, and how to generate a "media key"?

Never mind. I solved the problem—without encrypting the movie files.

Grapher: can I make a quicktime movie for a parameter animation of a 3D graph?

In Grapher, I can't seem to make a quicktime movie of a parameter animation for 3D graphs.
For example:
Make a new 3d graph.
Add the equation x^2+y^2+z^2-k=0
Add another equation k = 1, and Animate Parameter on it, set the range from 0 to 6, and play the animation to see a growing green sphere.
Click the movie button to create a quick time movie.
I get a movie of one frame of the animation repeated many times. I.e. the parameter animation does not appear in the quicktime movie.
Should this be possible?

Bonjour,
There is a very old bug in Grapher :
          Bug nr. 16 (Grapher 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3). In 3D windows, menu Equation > Create Animation : the various parameter, zoom and frame animations from the pop-up window “Animation“ do not work.
                    The remedy : No idea.
                    Proposed correction : restore these animations.
Using Grapher 2.1 in OS X 10.6.8, to animate a sphere (cartesian coordinates) :
— in a new 3D window (use a new window for any change you wish), enter these equations
k = 1 and   sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = k ;
— click the parameter k=1 ;
— Menu Equation > Animate Parameter > Settings : Min Value 1, Max Value 6, Steps 11. OK ;
— Try the animation : Play then Pause ;
— Click Create Movie, try it ;
— Menu File > Save as… (.mov) to get a QuickTime Movie… working well.
Remember : any change you want to do NEEDS A NEW WINDOW ; if not, animations can’t no more be created and saved.
I tried today Grapher 2.3 on a Mac Book Pro (Dec 2010) OS X 10.7.5: The bug is worse, no more animations available in 3D and two icons desappeared from the animation panel (places remain clickable). Sorry for you !
How is it in Mountain Lion (it’s still Grapher 2.3) ?

How to make VPN client auto timeout when it still idle?

How to make VPN client auto disconnect when it still idle?
Hi,I found some user still connected the VPN evenif they dose not use the VPN resouse.
I try to set a "idle timeout" for the VPN configuration.
We use PIX515 8.0.3 and CISCO ACS 4.2 for the VPN's connection and authentication,and the user use cisco vpn client for the connection.
I have tried many methods,but all failured.
First,I configed "vpn-idel-timeout 5" on PIX.It can not worked.
so,I add Radius(CISCO VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0+) attribute "[026/3076/050] Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout" on CISCO ACS,It still not worked.
And I also add IETF RADIUS Attributes "[028] Idle-Timeout" on group setting on ACS,it always not worked.
i found in vpn client's statistics,it always has some byte sended or received, i thought it maybe IPsec keepalive message or Radius message.
This maybe the reason because the PIX or ACS think the vpn user is keep working.
Can someone tell me how to make a "idle time out"?
best regard.
Roger

here is the configuration on PIX,
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
wins-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68
dns-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68

How to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps using 4 fingers on iPad ?

Hey guys,
So how to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps (first or last app) using 4 fingers on iPad iOS7 ? Any examples ?
Thanks!
Ivan

Please do not double post the same question.
Just like I said before. Animate X scale and position. Set the anchor point of the left image to the left side. You can then use an expression or just generate keyframes for scale. When you flip to the next screen then animate position. Easy basic animation except for the bounce. Key framing the bounce so that it looks natural takes a lot of experience or an expression.
Google bounce expression after effects and find this. http://www.motion-graphics-exchange.com/after-effects/Wiggle-rubber-bounce-throw-inertia-e xpressions/4ad0f32a944ad
There are a bunch of other solutions.
There is no single click solution to this problem and it is not an effect, it is an animation.

How do I load quicktime movies made in Quicktime 7 to iMovie11?

I have made several movies using an older version of iMovie and burned them to dvd using iDvD. Most are stills made into a movie. When i want to play the movie, i click on Quicktime Player, the Player switches me to QuickTime 7 (i have the Pro version) then it plays fine. I would to move this movie to iTunes and use AppleTV to watch it.
Neither iMovie 11 or iTunes witl open it. Quicktime 7 will not export it. Any suggestions?

When iDVD authors your DVD it recompresses the iMovie edited audio and video data to MPEG-2 video and PCM audio compressed data which is then multiplexed together as blocks of video data interspersed with blocks of audio data in a single data stream to provide spatial synchronization of the audio and video data during playback. This data is then placed in one or more VOB file containers representing your movie for use by DVD media players. If you try to play this content in QT X under Snow Leopard, the player will refuse to play the file because "muxed" MPEG-2 content is not natively supported under this OS. On the other hand, MPEG-2 video support was added to the QT X v10.1 player. Normally, if you do not have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed on your system, Lion's QT X v10.1 player will also refuse to play "muxed" MPEG-2 content in a VOB or MOV file container and nothing further would happen. However, if you have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component and the QT 7 v7.6.6 Player installed, then the content can be transferred to the QT 7 Player which does support certain "muxed" MPEG-2 content formats in VOB or MOV (also MPG and MPEG) file containers but not in a TS file container which QT X v10.1 also supports (along with MPG and MPEG file containers).

Basically, DVD authored content is not "natively" compatible with the QT embedded structure unless additional support is added toyour system or the file container is modified. That is why Apple includes a DVD Player specific app with you system sofware so you can play such "authored" content. Further, unless you can fool iMovie into thinking your "muxed" MPEG-2 content (normally multiplexed MPEG-2/AC3 compressed data) is located on a camcorder device, the iMovie will refuse to access the special iMovie import software component which converts "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 data to all I-Frame MPEG-2 elementary video stream and converts the AC3 audio data to an elementary AIFF (Linear PCM) audio stream and places both in an MOV file container with "in" and/or "out" timing offsets to reduce possible loss of synchronization in a temporal synchronization file environment. In other words, "muxed" MPEG-2 (GOP) spatial sync content is not edit compatible with QT's current iMovie temporal synchronization environment and therefore, iMovie will refuse to import/copy the content to iMovie for editing purposes.
The normal method of for manually converting DVD authored content for re-editing in iMovie is to convert the VIDEO_TS folder data or the VOB title set to an iMovie edit compatible compression format. For instance, the VIDEO-TS folder content can be converted by HandBrake to H.264/AAC files which are edit compatible with current versions of iMovie. However, since you appear to have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed, MPEG Streamclip may be a better choice since it allows you to convert to any QT edit compatible compression format supported by your system codec component configuration, as well as, supporting AC3 content if included in the VOB if authored using other third-party apps. I normally use AIC/Uncompressed or HiRes Pro 422/Uncompressed intermediate editing formats here. The object being to create a low-compression, hight-quality intermediate file for editing so as to prevent further loss of visual quality when editing the content. This work flow does, however, tend to create very large editing files and so many users may elect to use a smaller H.264/AAC intermediate file for editing and simply "live with" possible reduction in final visual quality.

How to crop a QuickTime movie to delete black top and bottom areas?

How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
I have tried with iMovie 8.0.5, yet its "Window - Cropping..." to fit, crop and Ken burns does not allow to select the area that I want, which is extra wide.
Thanks.

How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
Basically, you have two options. 1) You can use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) which allows you to reset the top/bottom/left/right screen edges (i.e., crop the active viewing area) and then re-compress the remaining content as a new file (as recommended by QTKirk) or 2) if you have QT Pro, you can simply "mask" the player display which crops the display screen to the desired mask dimension and location within the original area. The advantage of the latter work flow is not having to re-compress the file which can be very time consuming. Since the latter method may seem confusing to some, I have prepared a "quickie" tutorial which may be able to "talk" you through the process:
