I can't view video thumbnails for Quicktime Movies?

I noticed on my Macbook that when I mouse over a Quicktime video file, a play icon appears and I can play the video directly from the thumbnail without having to open up Quicktime Player. This works both on the desktop and in Finder. On my iMac, this is not possible. I've looked through the view options, and I have show icon preview selected. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Fixed it! Turned out I just needed to enlarge the icon size in view options. If the icons are too small, then playing thumbnail videos is not possible.

Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Alfred

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
@="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]
"AppX55e91fphzr8a583p8cbxv7jpr8bk6xb9"=hex(0):
"AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt"=hex(0):
"WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"=hex(0):
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}"

Is there a way to create a thumbnail for QuickTime videos on a PC? (Windows XP) All the the videos currently have the same QuickTime logo as their thumbnail.

Abdur,
In the sheet :: table :: cell that is going to receive the data, type an equals sign, then click on the cell that the data will come from and press Return.
This will require that you navigate to the origin cell by choosing the proper sheet.

Can not view videos on you tube in firefox4 using flash player11

I'm using firefox 4 and i can not view videos on you tube.I've updated and reinstalled adobe flash player twice with no results.I've also tried the other checks,security blocking,cache,pop ups etc Works fine on IE. Hope someone has a solution.I've always liked firefox but not the newer versions and many of the changes;

I can't believe you're still running Firefox 4. Why not a newer version?
There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (12-13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Does any of that appear promising?

Thumbnails For QuickTime Files In Windows XP?

Windows XP shows thumbnail previews of video files in Windows Explorer. However, it doesn't show thumbnails for QuickTime files. Does anyone know why this is? Does Windows Vista also share this problem? Is there a way to add this feature to Windows XP?

One other thing to explore - do these particular files begin with Black Video?
Good luck,
Hunt

I can't view video on imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image

I can't view video on my imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image on the clip. I can hear sound but no video. What is the problem. I wish someone can help me on this issue? Thanks.

The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-CX550. I used the internal hard disc to record. I can's use MTS clips if it is recorded on the internal hard disc. I converted clips into MOV, MP4, and Final Cut formats, non of them worked on Final Cut Pro X. I tried to import the same clips on iMovie, it worked but super slow. MOV and MP4 formats used to work for FCPX, the only difference is I recorded the footage with HD 1920x1080.
The clip I imported showed as a blue thing with two rectagle shapes on it. I can hear the sound, but no video. I also imported my old clips with sam format, it worked. I tried a lot of things, no use.
By the way, what is spwecs?

How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area? Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
Thanks for any guidance.

As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

Can't view video in iPhoto

Can't view video in iPhoto on my iMac but I can view it on my iPad! Source of video iPhone, sent to me via email. Appears in iPhoto on my iMac as a blank folder. Using OSX 10.9.5 Maverick. Any ideas? I have the same problem with a voice recording sent to me in the same way.

That's a whole new ball game. Go the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos check box.
In iPhoto go to its iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes.
Reboot, and go back to each preference pane and recheck those boxes. That should jumpstart the Shared Photo Streams.

How can I preview video files in quicktime

How can I preview video files in quicktime by click on the space bar like i use to with leopard?
I like to pull up all of my video files and arrowing down and hitting the space bar and previewing them.
I cannot do that with all of my video files just some of the video files are able to be previewed.
Some of the files show a thumb of the video and some just show the quicktime logo are other logos
I am running the latest Lion
Thanks.

You need to investigate BLOB = Binary Large Objects.
Start with Google where you will find plenty of info to start with.
Next time, you'd better mentioned the OS and Oracle version (4 digits) that you are using.
HTH,

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.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.

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.

How can I find a converter for wmv movies

How can I find a converter for wmv movies. I tried some converters, but non was sufficiant enough!

Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft). This will enable you to play the video. To convert it you will need the paid-for Pro version of Flip4Mac.

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

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
