Importing Quick Time movie to iPhone

Has anyone had success in getting a QT movie to the iPhone?
I ran the "convert selection to iPod" and attempted to synch, but after the sync, no movie showed up on the phone.
Disappointed because i needed to use this movie for work related activity. Along with the volume issue, i am wondering if i squandered $.

Hey LWBJ,
The iPhone plays the same video formats as the iPod.
These articles will give you more information on compatible video formats and files.

  • 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,
    ?!?!?!?!?

  • Imported quick time movie frame rate

    I have just used Quicktime to convert some old royalty free archive footage. When the conversion is done, the new movie is in the correct format for PAL at 25 frames per second. However, when I import into FCE4, the frame rate of the imported movie drops back to 10fps. Any ideas?

    What are the specs of your clips before conversion? How are you going about converting it exactly? What are the specs of your clips according to Quicktime Movie Info after conversion?

  • How do you import quick time movies?

    I downloaded a clip from a stock video company, and it does not want to import into Final Cut Pro.

    Open the clip in QuickTime. Open the Inspector. Post a screenshot of what's reported.

  • 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.

  • When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
    It will help a lot if you provide details ...
    FCE Easy Setup
    Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
    Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)

  • Importing Quick Time file to FCE problem

    I tried to import a quick time movie I had saved on a DVD from work and it would not import into FCE. It says "unknown file". But other quick time movies that are on my Mac import fine into FCE. Both my work Mac and home are almost identical-Power Mac g5. Why is this happening?

    Stephen
    QuickTime comes in many shapes and sizes and not all work with FCE.
    Files from a DVD are multiplexed.
    They will need to be de-multiplexed before FCE can use them.
    Search this forum for demuxing.

  • 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.

  • Creating Quick Time Movie with Photos' Titles?

    When exporting an album to a Quick Time MOV file is there any way to export the titles for photos too? If not, is there a way to create a "universal" slide show that plays on all OS's with titles?

    EarthBased:
    What is the ultimate destination of this slideshow? If it's for a DVD project post back as there are other steps to take to make sure the titles display on screen. Or you can use a 3rd party slideshow application that gives you more flexibility as to where the titles are placed. PhotoPresenter is one (very inexpensive) and has over 20 animated themes as well.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Using Quick Time movies with Logic

    Hello all,
    I am writing some music to a quick time movie and everything is working fine...then I scroll back and forth a little to fast....and then the movie starts to skip.
    Problem is I can't get Logic to "Clear" itself, even if I restart or import a different movie, then come back to this movie, it still skips, any ideas...
    Scott

    Scott,
    You're correct, the semi-colon is used to designate drop frame. I've seen way too many timecode burns that didn't match the actual frame rate, even when the footage was provided by supposedly professional editors. The only way to check it is to run it alongside Logic's timecode counter and see how well they jibe at different points in the movie, and based on your last post, you have the correct frame rate and burn.
    As far as skipping, I don't think it has anything to do with how fast you scroll. Sounds to me like your hard drive is having trouble keeping up with the data stream. Is your movie located on its own drive, or is it on your system or audio drives? Best scenario is to have the movie streaming off of a dedicated drive.
    There are two other scenarios almost guaranteed to cause skipping:
    1. You have that movie open in QT while you're also trying to display it in Logic.
    2. You have two or more songs open in Logic that reference the same movie. This is a sure-fire way to encounter skipping.

  • Converting Quick Time Movie to MP3 in iTunes

    In iTunes version 4.9 Quick Time Movies converted to MP3 files without loss of audio quality. After upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1 and Quick Time 7.0.2 the conversion results in a great deal of static. Can anyone suggest a fix?

    Hi affilgraph,
    Yes, it can be done. First, go to iTunes preferences, choose "Advanced", click on the "Import" Tab and select "MP3 encoder" next to "Import Using". Close the window. Now select the files in questions, go to the "Advanced" menu and choose "Convert selection to MP3". However, if your files are already encoded to AAC this will not decrease the size of your library significantly AND you will lose sound quality. In addition, converting your library in one go might bring your computer to its knees risking data loss. So, I would recommend buying a bigger HD instead.

  • 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.

  • FCP wont import Quick Time anymore

    I´m using FCP HD 4.5 everything was fine until I tried to import Quick Time files previously exported from FCP. I always imported Quick Time and never had this problem. Any help will be apreciated.
    Thanks.

    the important thing to understand is .mov doesn't tell you much about the file. It's just a wrapper. Open it up in Quicktime Player and go to Window>Show Movie Inspector (or show movie info).
    This will tell you the format of the video. Odds are it's a format that FCP 4.5 doesn't support and you'll need to convert it to compatible editing format.
