IMovie 11 quick time movie is in slow motion. why?

Sharing using Quick Time to make HD movie. Movie comes out in slow motion, but audio sounds okay. Followed online suggestions for settings. Settings are as follows: PLEASE HELP!

You don't say how the file was created for youtube. When you export a video from Flash you have a lot of options available to you. You can change the image area size, the frame rate, you can choose one of many video and audio compressors.
As a start, you should keep the image area and the frame rate the same for the video as it was in the original Flash file. When the Adobe Media Encoder opens, your file will show up in the Queue section with a compressor and a preset selected. You can select the format and change it to anything that you want. Since the default format has given you a poor result, select a different format or customize the existing one. There are many, many, options available. Take a look at the Media Encoder documentation for more information on those options.

Imovie output quick time movie button invisible fonts at Mountain Lion

Hi,
I just updated from lion to mountain lion, everything smooth and better than lion a lot. But I have one confusion when I through imoive output the movie to quick time and select option, the button fonts will invisible like a below picture. That’s never happen in lion. And I didn’t know is it the other user have same problem. Also I remember the description should be traditional Chinese, but now is English I don’t know is it a main point caused this issue. My MPB is 2010 mid 15” version. Lastly I hope Apple can tell me how solve this problem.
Many Thanks!

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here:
Where to send product feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Cannot open Quick Time movies in iLife 11

I got my first digitized Super8 films back on an external hard drive, 1 TB. They were converted to Quick Time movies 1280x720,
Codecs: Component Y' CbCr 10bit 4:2:2 ( I have no idea what this all means). All I had asked was to get them in .mov files. Quick Time movies seems to be something different than .mov files.
What can I do to open these Quick Time movies and to edit them in iLife 11?
Would appreciate if somebody could help me .

The information about the codec in Final Cut Express is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3523
I have a lot of old Super8 films and decided to get them digitized. After that I intend to discard the old analog films and keep two copies of these old Super8 movies on external hard drives. Therefore I am looking for the best possible quality at a reasonable price.
The first batch last year was digitized to what they called uncompressed .mov files and could be easily imported and edited in imovie.
For the second batch (another service) I decided to go HD in .mov files, again uncompressed (the HD quality 1280x720 seems to be remarkably better) What I got are these Quick Time movies that I cannot open in Quick Time and imovie does not let me import these Quick Time movies, whereas the uncompressed .mov files last year were a breeze to handle. What's the difference between 'uncompressed' .mov files vs. Quick Time 'uncompressed' that I cannot open in imovie.
Now you are pointing out that FCE does not let me edit uncompressed QT files. How do I convert to .mov or MPEG Streamclip?
Would I purchase Final Cut Express only to be able to open those movies in Quick Time?
Feels like I am at the low end of the learning curve.
Appreciate all help I can get for my project.

Quick time movies in iPhoto

I have a Panasonic digital camera DMC FX9. When I download stills and short movies from a SD memory card they automatically go into iPhoto. That presents a couple of problems on the quick time movies (.mov). One I don't want them in iPhoto, two if I rename them in iPhoto the new name does not show up in a "smart folder" on my desktop that contains only .mov files.
How can I make SD card downloads separate .mov files from iPhoto pictures? Would like the .mov's to got to the default MOVIE sidebar folder.
If not possible, then how can I make the names in iPhoto show up on a folder of just quicktime movies (they keep the original file name despite the new name in iPhoto)?

Hi Edward,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Widescreen Quick Time movie made in iPhoto

I have made a widescreen Quick time movie in iPhoto by exporting it to the desktop. It's 1500x660. Works great when played in Quick Time player on the wide screen TV from my computer. When I import it into iDVD, it shows ok in preview(with a note that says widescreen preview). When I burn it to a DVD it comes out skued and elongated. What can I do to prevent this?
Meatball

Fshippy,
I am puzzled by your statement : "you should be using iLife 06"
I recently finished a project containing:
1 iMovie 4:3
1 iMovie 16:9
90 pictures slideshow (2:3)
I used iLife 05.
I produced a DvD containing three chapters: one for each film and one for the slideshow.
The result is as follows when played on my set-top:
The DvD intro is in widescreen (I defined it that way) my TV-set switches to widescreen when the DvD starts, then the DvD menu comes up in aspectratio 4:3 (that's correct as there are no standard themes in 16:9)
when I play the films:
The 4:3 plays correctly
When I play the 16:9 film my TV-set switches automaticcaly to 16:9, this film plays correctly. When finished TV switches back to the menu 4:3
When I play the slideshow it plays without any distortion of the images.
As the originator talks "widescreen" I am not sure if he means 16:9 or HD.
Anyway, I don't experience any problems in bringing widescreen (16:9) to DvD using iDvD
Are you indeed specifiacally refering to HD or also to widescreen (16:9) ?
I did not produce HD sofar.

Want to enlarge size of Quick Time Movie Screen

I have been creating short video movies on my iMovie and transferring them to Quick Time for eventual streaming video viewing on web with the help of Quick Time Pro. The iMovies look great on full screen but when trying to transfer them to Quick Time, they only show up as a small window. I have tried to enlarge the picture by setting Quick Time Preferences to 2x or full screen but they still only show up as small when being viewed. Enlarging them once they are being viewed does distort the quality of the picture. Is there any way I can process a movie for full screen viewing or perhaps 1/2 screen viewing when transferring iMovie to Quick TIme and still retain its original detail. Thank you very much

You need a few html "tricks" to enlarge your video playback. Most can come from the simple scale="tofit" tags. This will resize your .mov file to fit the dimensions you set.
Another way to do this (easier now with QT 7) is to set the movie playback to double, or even full screen, and use the html tag target="quicktimeplayer".

Importing quick time movie issues

Should be simple - but: I am putting together a video presentation using photos on iPhoto, converted to a slideshow and exported as a quicktime movie (.mov)
So far so good
Then I need to import to iMovie to do additional editing. I have done this before, no issues.
However, when I try to import, the .mov file is not available. It shows in finder, I can access and play via finder etc, but from the drop menue on iMovie it is not accessible -
what's up?!?!?

this is really confounding me, it should be so simple
First I tried simply exporting the iPhoto slideshow and kept getting
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9459.)
Then used the drop down menu to export to quick time and have a successful export, showing in finder and playable, but cannot import it to iMovie for further work.
Then, tried removing any music and text and tried to re-export as quick time movie, and got
"free up disk space" when there is plenty of disk space available.
Then tried to export as mpeg4 and got
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9459.)
again,
?!?!?!?!?

Difficulties rendering high quality (high definition) Quick Time movies

Some time ago I also asked for suggestion to obtain high definition quick time movies to play on an Apple iMac. Here is what I hae used:
My camera is a Sony HDR FX1, and I am shooting in HD fomrat which is 1440 x 1080 25 fps interlaced. My project settings are PAL HDV1080i. I capture my footage using HDVSplit, so the file format that I import into PRE8 is .m2t.
As outputsettings I have created my own settings, as the two default settings available have lower resolution and quality, so I changed the settings to the full frame size of my footage (1440 x 1080) and also adjusted the frame rate to 25fps. Also I have increased the quality to 100%, but the output shows 10% quality if I may say so: very pixelated.
I have updated my graphic card (nVidia) to the most recent version, as well as Quick Time. What else could I do to improve the qualtiy of the output?

That's a tough one. I'm not sure what to suggest. Sometimes when you create your own output presets, you change something you shouldn't (like making the video anamorphic rather than a square pixel H.264, for instance) that can negatively affect the quality.
You may want to post this to the Muvipix hi-def forum. Lots of very smart, very helpful video people there -- and if there's an answer, it's likely someone there knows it.
One other solution is to use the Mac rather than Premiere Elements to convert this file. Both iMovie and Final Cut should be capable of working with those HDV files natively, and they live in the land of MOVs.

You need to download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later

Unable to play Quick Time movies in web pages

We have Quick Time 7.0.4 player installed on Mac OS X v10.4, But we are unable to open Quick time movies in web browser from external web sites.
It gives us error ‘To view this movie, you will need QuickTime 5 (or later)’
If we open Quick time movies from local disk in web browser then it works perfectly alright.
Could you please let us know the reason behind this?
Note: I have encounter this problem on safari and IE 5.2 browser.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

Editing quick time movie clips with sound

We are editing together some quick time movie clips but we can't get the sound to come up.
Is there something we are doing wrong? Can you split the voice from the visual when you bring these clips into Final Cut?

A QuickTime movie can be made from any number of codecs. Which one are you working with?
If it's an MPEG video, chances are it will need to be demuxed. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this and other conversions.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

Keynote fails to play quick time movies

HI,
I am trying to play a quicktime movie which I added to one of the slides. It starts out fine then the screen goes white but the control at the bottom of the screen shows that the movie is still playing. Some times you get the same white slide when you try to stop a movie while it is playing and drag the cursor back to replay a part of the movie again. Other quicktime movies do fine. And this quick time movie plays fine in quicktime. The white slide you get when you are trying to replay a section of quicktime movies can be fixed by going back one slide and and coming back to the movie slide and playing it again. If some one has a fix please let me know. I have seen this happen with other people using quicktime in keynote too.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"

File type/quick time movie file

My iTunes library used to have a preponderance of mp3 files. Now these seem to have been converted to Quick Time movie files. This might have occurred during an update. What happened and what does it mean.
Many thanks,
Wells

Wells,
Unfortunately the page you mention (http://www.cminow.org/itunesapplescriptfixer.html) will not load.
Give it a couple more hours or try:
http://www.cminow.com/itunesapplescriptfixer.html
That's my site, and I switched the IP address about four hours ago, and the DNS is probably still pointing to the wrong address. For some reason, the ".com" address changed over really fast (at Comcast anyway), but the ".org" one didn't.
Here's the AppleScript:on open badfiles
repeat with i in badfiles
set the item_info to info for i
--Change "mp3" to "mp2" in the following line for MP2 files:
if (name extension of item_info is "mp3") and (folder of item_info is false) then
tell application "Finder"
--Change "MPG3" to "MPG2" in the following line for MP2 files:
set file type of i to "MPG3"
set creator type of i to "hook"
end tell
end if
end repeat
end open
Just copy and paste that into the Script Editor in your AppleScript folder in Applications. Save it as an application. Then find one of the files that's giving you problems and drag it onto the application. It should change the type and creator and iTunes should be happy.
In order to avoid this in the future, just download the MP3s directly onto your hard drive by control-clicking or right-clicking on the link to the MP3. Choose the menu item that downloads to disk. In Safair, it's "Download Linked File". That avoids the QuickTime Browser plugin, which is what gives it a type of "MPEG" and creator of "TVOD" instead of "MPG3" and creator of "hook", which is what iTunes is happiest with.
Let me know if any of this wasn't clear, and I'll try to explain it better...
