How to view video clips on FaceBook?

FaceBook tells me I must download Flash Player to view video clips. Is Flash Player safe on a Mac?
I have researched this question in these Apple Support forums. I have searched the App Store and the Web. I found some good reports, some dire warnings about installing non-Apple apps, but nothing conclusive.
Please advise.

Adobe Flash Player Software is actually a plug-in and not an actual "player" or "application." With this plug-in you will be able to view flash videos on Quicktime (with help from Perian) and VLC. I believe Flip4Mac also.
After the installation, make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer prior to usage.

Uploading video clip to facebook coming up with error sharing photo, what i'm i doing wrong

uploaded video clip to facebook, coming up with "error shring photo", what i'm i doing wrong, or how to upload video clip?

Are you using the facebook app? I had problems with mine loading all the time.. so, I usually use SAFARI now.
Perhaps try ""emailing"" the picture to your facebook wall.. it works so easily and I email my pics to my youtube account and can't believe how quick it's all uploaded... hope this helps :-)

Why can,t I view video clips on web page? Why do I have to download them?

Every since I downloaded Firefox, I cannot view video clips on a webpage, they have to be downloaded to Firefox downloads and then viewed on Real player. This is very inconvenient. How do I go back to the way it used to be prior to downloading Firefox?

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

I cannot view video clips in iphoto. quicktime used to open automatically but no longer

I cannot view video clips I created and syncd from my iphone into iphoto. Quicktime used to open automatically. Now it wont for some reason.

If you have iPhoto 8 and Lion then download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. That should let you view clips in the iPhoto library.

Help viewing video clips in iphoto 08.

I recently downloaded both photos and video clips taken from my iphone 5 and downloaded to my mac OSX 10.6.8 computer (as I have many times before.) I quickly discovered that I can no longer view video clips in the iphoto 08 program as I have always been able to do. Why? Typically, I would double click on video clip and it would play in iphoto.

I can commiserate about the bad disk drive, because I went through that.
The latest version of iMovie is 9.01 (also known as iMovie 11).
About your movies in iPhoto...did iMovie see them before? Were you on iMovie 11 before?
Will they play in iPhoto? If they will play in iPhoto, chances are you can import them into iMovie. Note where they are in iPhoto by using right-click (or control-click)/Reveal in Finder.
In iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT FROM.../ to find that file and import it.
If your laptop is less than three months old, it may have come with iMovie 11. If it is older, it probably had iMovie 09. iMovie 11 came out in late October.
If you were on iMovie 11 before, then reinstalling iMovie should make iPhoto movies visible again, assuming they were not corrupted in some way. When you convert to iMovie 11 it upgrades the thumbnail files (but not the video clips) in such a way that is not backward compatible.

I cannot play some video clips on Facebook. why is that

Some video clips on Facebook require flash player down load. When I try to see the same clips on IPAD. i can not, and I get a message that Apple doesn't allow flash player down load on Apple devices. Is there another way to see those clips

Probably not. Other web sites, like YouTube, provide video in HTML5 as an alternative so that you can watch them on any mobile device. Facebook does not provide an alternative at this time, so their videos don't play. It is annoying, but it will be this way until Facebook does what other sites do. (The fix is not to add Flash to the iPad, since Adobe has announced the cancellation of all future development of Flash on mobile devices.)

How to view two clips with 50 % transparency each at the same time?

How to view two clips at the same time with 50 % transparent each (end of one clip and the starting of the next clip in time line) so that one overlapping the other, both can be seen. This is to merge two clips, so that I can stop at the correct frame of the first clip and start at the appropriate frame of the next clip.

Video halts when viewing video clips

Hello,
When viewing video clips, the video will halt, message says "buffering", then plays, then halts, "buffering" message again.. etc. It does continue to play (doesn't crash or anything like that) and does complete the video. I'd appreciate any advice or help...

You got it right. I'm telling you to live with it. This problem has no consequence with Lenovo or Microsoft. It's just problem of your bandwidth or video-server bandwidth. Saying "something else" I meant "something else". Which word is new for you? It doesn't matter whether something downloaded by you or downloaded automatically - it maters if ANYTHING (this word means "anything") is being downloaded (this one means "download from the Internet") at the very same time you're going to see your video online. It (something that is being downloaded) eats up your bandwidth and your favourite video is just caching slowly. If the problem occurs when you apparently do nothing with Internet but only watch video and it still caches for long , the problem is on server side and you can do nothing (exept calling them to server and yellign at them or biting them by phone).
With best regards, Sergej.
You're welcome.
Be happy.
P.S. Of cource there's a setting you can adjust! Call your provider and adjust setting "speed".

Safari: How view video clips without Adobe Flash Player?

In OS 10.7.2 and with Safari 5.1.2 or Firefox 8.x how does one view video without installing Adobe Flash Player? On such websites as that of the New York Tines, I get a "Your System Status" dialogue box that says: "We're sorry! You need to update your Flash Player." A link appears in the dialogue box to "Get Adobe Flash Player." What options does one have?
Thanks for considering my question.
Respectfully, NormN

Macs now do not ship with Adobe Flash installed. Did you buy your Mac with Lion or is your Mac the previous generation? You have to do the installation yourself. Click Get Adobe flash player.

View video clip recording date in PRE7?

Hello,
The recording date information of video clips is embedded in my AVI-file but how can I view it in PRE7?
There must be a better solution than to open the file in my old software (Pinnacle) where this information can be found easily.
The video was captured through firewire from a digital camcorder (DV).
Cheers

Hans,
I do not use the Organizer, so do not know all of its power and limitations, but think that you should have the Metadata available there. Depending on the camera used, that should contain the shooting date, provided that the calender and clock were set on it. Does that not work with this footage?
I feel your pain, as I had to transfer 34 VHS tapes for editing a series of DVD's for the client. Luckily, his VHS camcorder started each scene with a Date/Time imprint. Now, this was often edited out, when I did the post-production work, but I would just look at the 'master" Clip, jot down that info, and then Title with it, say "Liz & Page Christmas 1985." As I transferred, I also made a shot log with all dates, plus notes on each scene, so I had much of that stuff already. Obviously, there was no Metadata in these to use, but many cameras do have that info now. Do not know all of the situations where it might not be accessible, or by which programs.
Good luck, and maybe some Organizer "power-user" can fill in the blanks for us both.

PS - Adobe is very lenient with mention of other programs, even direct competitors' apps. They seem fully committed to allowing the user the best possible experience, even if it means picking up a copy of ______. Most of us have all sorts of NLE's, and utilities in those "toolboxes." While I do use mostly Adobe programs, I have many others too. Some are highly specialized, and only get trotted out once per year. A few others see much more use, but even then, that usage pales to my use of Adobe products.

How-to add video clip to presentation?

How do I add a video clip to a Keynote '08 presentation? i drag and drop it and only get a black square on the page. Even though it's only a small square, when I view it in full screen mode the whole screen is black.
How do I add a video clip?

Well, it worked for me. I, however, used the Media browser. I don't know if you just grab a file from Finder and drop it in there. Although it should work, but I don't know why it doesn't. Also, what kind of file is it. Keynote supports a lot of video files but not every kind that exist. For me, I dropped a video that I made with friends from iMovie so its a QuickTime file. And I use the Media browser. Then I placed it at the centre. Then I pressed optionP to play the slideshow.
