HT201066 Combing clips in Quicktime - help!

Hi, I would like to combine several audio clips in Quicktime. Following the directions here on the website doesn't work because when I go to View > Show Clips, this option is in grey and I can't select it. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Apparently nothing. Since the instructions work fine for AV clips on my system but not for audio only files, I would assume either...
1) The QT X app is not programmed to support audio only files or
2) There is a bug in the QT X app preventing the editing of audio files that was not caught during beta testing.
Depending on what you are really trying to do here, there are other possible workflows. For instance, if you want to standalone file containing a sequence of audio clips, then you could use QT 7 Pro, GarageBand or the free MPEG Streamclip app. On the other hand, if you are trying to create a pseudo playlist (i.e., reference) file, then you could also do that with QT 7 Pro. If you want to create a real playlist file, then you could use iTunes or, VLC, or a similar app.

Error when merging large clips in QuickTime

I am trying to merge two 2-hour clips into a 4-hour clip in QuickTime (OS X 10.7.2). If I combine very short clips and export for iPad all works. But the long clip combination generates an error "The operation not supported for this media." What is the problem? Is there a size limit I don't know about? I can create the large (4 hour) film in Quicktime and I can watch it. But I can't export the result. Anyone have an answer? [The two long clips were generated by HandBrake for Apple TV2 and the clips work everywhere they should.]
Thanks for any advice or help.

But the long clip combination generates an error "The operation not supported for this media." What is the problem? Is there a size limit I don't know about?
What is the encoded resolution and file size of each file? While HandBrake generates iPad files using "Large File" addressing, the QT X player may or may not be programmed to use this mode for smaller resolutions based on the contextually adaptive nature of the preset. Just a guess, but it is possible the QT X player may refuse to "export" the content if the target file is projected to exceed 4 GBs or exceeds the available memory required to perform the processing of the files.
If true, then depending on the original source files' compression format(s) and apps available, I might try one of the following:
1) Create a merged "reference" file containing the two source files using QT 7 Pro or create a single "merged" file from the two source files in a single wrapper and then use HandBrake to make a single conversion/export to the target iPad compression format.
2) Use QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip to save the data in the two M4V files to a single MOV file (without recompressing the data) and checking to see if this file can be imported/managed by iTunes for use on your iPad.
3) Try a lower resolution export from QT X to see if this obviates the error message.

If you right click on your clip, does it offer to Optimize Video? If so, after you optimize you can change the speed.

Should I export captured clips as Quicktime movies?

Do I need to export my captured clips as Quicktime movies if I want to import them as source clips in other projects?
I had been importing directly from the capture scratch folder, but this resulted in mono audio tracks, rather than stereo. Everything else looked fine...
This problem has been driving me nuts...perhaps this is the explanation.

I figured it out elsewhere.

Trimming a clip with quicktime 7

I have been working with a feature on quicktime x call "trim" which will trim a clip in quicktime which results in a smaller clip size. I am now on another computer which uses tiger and quicktime 7 pro. I found the same feature however when I trim and save a clip, the size remains the same. Is this correct? Does this feature work differently in older versions?

QuickTime Player Pro's "Trim to Selection" is a non destructive edit. It can be "undone" via the Edit menu.
A regular "Save" doesn't remove the trimmed portion from the file so the file size remains the same as the source. "Save As" will remove the edited portion from the file.
Want a smaller file size? Use Save As.

I am having trouble with Imovie I finished my project but when i try to play it it says "source clip is missing" Help!

Hi
Did You move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - if so - You must not do that - try to put all back
Did You in iMove trash any Event's - then don't - try to get them back by looking in trash-basket on DESKTOP. Move them out and back into iMovie Event's.
This problem might be due to the idea that there is a copy/movie in the Project - it's not !
You are using a NON-Destructive Video Editing program (all behaves in this way) and that means that PROJECT's are only a small text document pointing to What material You want to use, Where it is located e.g. in iMovie Event's - and how it's meant to be played.
If You move or delete any of the raw material - the Project will point to an empty space = Can Not be played.
WILDLY GUESSING - PLEASE no Offence ! (I've been here and done this - so I guess in this way)
Yours Bengt W

'''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

Audio Clip problem plz help..

There is some problem with my code. It is actually for simply playing a wav file.
It gives errors on two lines....
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MediaPlayerDemo extends JFrame
     AudioClip clip; //Error Here
     public MediaPlayerDemo(String title)
          super(title);
     clip = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(),"access.wav"); //Error Here
     clip.loop();
     public static void main(String args[])
          MediaPlayerDemo m = new MediaPlayerDemo("Title");
          m.setSize(400,400);
          m.setVisible(true);
}

"Audio Clip problem plz help"
You have to learn to help yourself.
Have you done anything to try to fix the errors yourself?
AudioClip clip; //Error Here
the error generated here is self-explanatory.
if you can't fix this, you should get a good book on java basics and start again.
the other error is also easy to fix.

Quicktime help needed - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed , Quicktime help needed? - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed?

I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed, THANKS! Quicktime help needed?

Thanks for your kind reply Quicktime Kirk! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this as well. I have heard that what I need is an older Quicktime Version that allows for saving files, etc. But apple does not support it & I should look elsewhere - hence my appeal on this forum. Also, for some reason, when I try to upgrade to Quicktime Pro my browser (both Safari & Firefox) quits as I am about to complete my purchase. In any event, the real question is this: would the Quicktime Pro upgrade be compatible with my current system?

Trying to view clip, but quicktime isn't working

From the support.apple.com website, I keep trying to view a clip about importing CDs using ITunes, but when I click on the link, I get a screen that says I should download Quicktime to view it. However, I have already downloaded and installed the latest version of Quicktime, so I'm not sure what's going on. I tried this on a few other video clips and the same thing happened.
For information: I'm trying to open the clip in Firefox, on a PC, running Windows XP. I notice that Quicktime is not listed as a plug-in in Firefox, though I'm not sure what that means.
Thanks, David.

You have to be a little more forceful than you think need to so keep trying. If you're not sure how maybe this will help?

It's for an iPhone 4 but it will be the same for your model.

Loading a clip in QuickTime Player using a href?

I know you can do this using the embed tag and target="QuickTimePlayer" but is there a way using HTML or JavaScript to make this simply a href as I want it to just say "Click here to load clip in standalone player".
Hope someone can help?
Cheers
Bruce

The free QuickTime Player can open any URL.
Just ask your page visitors to "copy" (instead of click on) your link. Open QuickTime Player, "Open URL" (File menu) and paste the link.
Try it.

Clip Proxies QuickTime Error: -50

We have been using Final Cut Server since September without any issues. During the last couple of days we have hit some snags with Clip Proxies. The transcoding process keeps on failing and I get the QuickTime -50 Error. Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you for any help.

Hi Joshua,
I`ve the exact same problem.
I`ve posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1780228
But despite the Mr. Kelly suspicius we didn`t figured out yet.
Did you notice that this files (that give you the quicktime -50 error) is bigger than 3GB? Because with me only happens with files bigger than 3GB!
I also notice that with old versions (of quicktime or/and proapps - compressor -) this error didn`t show up.
Try to transcode a range of files with different sizes, from 1gb to 5gb and see what happens... To me I have a trend to bigger files not transcoding because this -50 error.
Regards

Importing quicktime help! latest!!

I have recently upgraded to imovie HD.
The quicktime movies were exported from Flash saved as quicktime.
I had no problem importing them into imovie 3 and then going to burn a cd from idvd. Since upgrading I have all sorts of problems, the format of my imovie had changed from pal to ntsc and now I can't import those same quicktime files with out them showing up as audio in the timeline.
I thought I'd solved the problem when I saved the flash files to quicktime video, instead of just quicktime (what the difference?). Hey presto after importing they showed up in the right place as movie clips.
But when viewed none of the 'movie clips' (self contained flash animations) worked, which they did before I upgraded. Help! do I need to go back to imovie 3?

Export iMovieHD Clips to Quicktime for uploading on TEST PAPER

I have 2- 10 min. clips in imovie that I have to export into Quicktime....Then send the file to my teachers grading page to have it graded...(hopefully an "A") if anybody can walk me through this process it will help...I am very new to this as I'm sure it shows...Thanks in advance E.N.

You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

Problem Adjysting Clip Speed - Please Help

I have recently purchased this new Macbook and am finding it difficult to get my head around some of the features of iMovie. I am familiar with older versions. My problem is as follows:-
I am editing a video using clips taken with the video setting of a regular camera, not camcorder. The clip are in MPEG-4 formats. I can import and split the clips with out a problem.
However when it comes to adjusting the speed whenever I drag my cursor over the clips the play head follows. When I double click the clip as mentioned in the online tutorials instead of receiving a pop up window my play head begins to play the clip.
Can any iMovie guru please help me with my problem. It would be much appreciated.
Oh and if you are explaining please make your response as user friendly as possible. Still only getting to grips with this version.
Thanks for your help!!!

You should run software update and get version 7.1.4 and the newer versions of QuickTIme.
However, changing clip speed is not a feature of iMovie 08. You need iMovie 09 for that.
