Hyperlink a quicktime movie?

Hello everyone! I've been trying to turn a movie into a hyperlink but I can't. According to Apple's iWeb promotion website among other things it is possible to hyperlink a movie. I tried importing different movies in case there was some kind of compatibility issue to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Not sure what your application is, but you can always make a rectangular shape in the same dimensions of your movie (not including the controller bar!) overlay it on the movie and change the opacity to 1% and then hyperlink the shape. That seems to work pretty well for most things.

  • Using a small quicktime movie as a button (a hyperlink)?

    Could anyone tell me if I could use a small quicktime movie as a button? iWeb seems to not let simply select the hyperlink checkbox for a quicktime movie. I would like to be able to allow my site visitor to click on an animating image (I exported from keynote) to take them to a different page.

    Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.

  • 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.

  • Exporting an  interactive quicktime movie to be be used on PC

    I have created a Keynote 06 presentation that is to be interactive. I exported to Quicktime using Sorenson 3 compress, best setting. When I go to watch the presentation it is not interactive. My goal was to create a Keynote presentation that stays on until I click on the PC laptop and this would tell Keynote to advance 1 slide and hold until I click the the keyboard again. What I currently have is a Quicktime movie which is 5m33s total running time it plays all the way through, it is not interactive at all. I need to know what am I doing wrong. I have to deliver this presentation for tomorrow A.M. so any and all help is appreciated.
    Sebastian

    No, no special keys.
    At this point, I'd suggest creating a two frame presentation with a hyperlink on the first slide that takes you to the second slide and a hyperlink on the second slide that takes you to the first slide. No transitions, just text on the slides labeled slide one and slide two.
    See if you can get this simple presentation to work correctly. If it doesn't determining what the problem is will be a lot easier than working with a large presentation.

  • Making a Quicktime movie a link

    I have exported a Keynote presentation as a Quicktime movie to my webpage I have created in iWeb. Does anyone know how to make the Quicktime movie a link to another page?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for all of the replies.
    Kyn, I see on the link you provided that you were able to incorporate a link in your movie. That's what I would like to do but I do not find instructions on how to do it.
    Just to clarify, I created a Keynote presentation and exported it as a Quicktime movie to place in my iWeb made website. It is just a photo slideshow but I would like to also make it a hyperlink so that at any time the slideshow is clicked on, it goes to another page or website, etc. My first problem is that when the slideshow is clicked on it stops the slideshow and restarts when I click again instead of going to another page. How can I eliminate the click activated stop/start of the slideshow and instead create a click activated hyperlink.
    Thanks again for everybody's help and great information.

  • Viewing iWeb Quicktime movies on PC

    Greetings,
    I've posted several Quicktime movies on my iWeb site and am getting reports from most of the PC users who've tried to view them that the movies won't open. I know that Quicktime 3 or later is needed. Is there any other advice I could give PC users toward viewing these movies?
    Thanks!

    Yes, Quicktime 3 is wayyyyyyy outdated.
    Post a hyperlink on your web page with this link

  • How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

    Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

    I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
    Apple describes ProRes here:
    About Apple ProRes
    And in that document says:
       "while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
    I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import,  the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

  • Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

    I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
    Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
    However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
    Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

    First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
    Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
    After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
    Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Quicktime movie rendering for time lapse does not work in CS4

    Hey guys,
    I m trying to render a time lapse video on PS CS4 and the process works well up until the export window. When i go there the first option under file options, quick time export, is unavailable( grayed out). The only available option is Image sequence. What do i have to do to enable the quicktime movie creation or any other movie format for that matter? Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum.
    For PS CS4, I assume that you have PS-Extended. Is that correct?
    What OS/platform?
    Do you have Apple's QT installed on that computer? If so, what version?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Quicktime movies don't show in browser

    Was having trouble with quicktime movies playing in Safari and Firefox. Each time I got the broken Q, I would restart the computer and it would work for a while. Upgraded to OS X(10.5) in hopes that might help. It didn't. No matter what I do no Quicktime in browser or a places like myspace. Any ideas?

  • Output quicktime movie choppy and less sharp than original

    Goodmorning!
    I am planning to make a stand alone movie of my footage that I can keep and watch on my iMac. My sequence was made on FCP 7 on 1920 x 1080 with Prores 422 codec.
    I did a few tests with exporting to quicktime movie (standard settings), because I have read several times that converting this way results in more or less the same quality. When I compare the videoquality of the Quicktime movie with playing the footage on the timeline fullscreen (+view-external video-all frames+), I am very disappointed. Not only is the sharpness of the quicktime movie less than the original, the movie plays very choppy (not fluently at all) .
    My question is: is that result to be expected? May I compare a quicktime movie with the original as described before?
    Or maybe I should export the sequence in a more sophisticated way?
    The quicktime outcome was about 30 seconds and resulted in a file of about 500 MB. My wish is that the size of the file will not be bigger.
    I hope that you can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Tom,
    Three times "correct" to your three questions.
    Opened the exported file in the QuickTime player, Movie Inspector said:
    Structure: Apple ProRess 422 , 1920 x1080 (1888 x 1062) millions, 16-bit integer (little indian) Stereo 48000 khz
    Bps: 25
    Size: 561,7 MB
    Speed: 118,53 Mbit/s
    Current size: 1882 x 1058 pixels
    If I run the sequence through JED deinterlacer, the movie gets a better flow. Of course the sharpness deminish a bit too.
    I hope that you can help me.
    Would export in H.264 be a better option?
    Maybe the 25 Bps is too high? My Panasonic SD60 produces only 17 mb Mbps.

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB
    Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
    I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7753066#7753066
    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8159317&#8159317
    My problem is almost identical to these 2...
    No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
    Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?
    -Kaiwin

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

  • Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

    I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
    In the manual it says:
    "Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
    If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
    I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
    Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
    Total bit rate: 29,794
    My exported file has this format:
    Dimensions: 720 x 480
    Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
    Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
    Audio Channels: 2
    Total bit rate: 2,151
    I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

    Double check:
    There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
    1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
    2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
    3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
    Is this what  you see?
    The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

    It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions
