Leopard effect ?.....QuickTime

I was fortunate to get my copy of Leopard last Friday. After installing Leopard I noticed that on most website I visit the QuickTime apps were not functioning. I made sure the MIME settings were on default, but have not solved the problem.
I have an Apple G4 OS X 10.4 and it works perfectly on the same websites. For example: NASCAR.COM.
On the Mac Book Pro the QuickTime "Q" appears darkened with a ? in the center (no video).
Anyone have a solution?

http://nascar.com doesn't use QuickTime formats. The video there are Flash.

Snow Leopard. Quicktime Player Squashes Movies??? HunH?!

Hello,
After upgrading to snow leopard, when I launch movies that I have authored in Final Cut Pro or iMovie HD. (That I rendered BEFORE Snow Leopard) The Quicktime player SQUASHES all of them now. If I open same files in VLC, they look correct. Tonight I gotta screen a film.
HELP... any quick way to fix this? What gives?

HELP... any quick way to fix this? What gives?
If using a system with the QT X player, switch to the QT 7 player. If using a system with the QT 7 player and you have QT Pro registered via FCP, simply open the the properties window and reset the "Current size:" setting for the video track to the correct aspect ratio dimensions with the "Keep Aspect" option deselected. Once corrected, you can then reset the "Keep Aspect" option and save the file. This is a quick and easy fix as long as the playing application does not rely on/look for a PAR value and ignore the "Current Size" specified (like iMovie '08/'09 or the QT X Player).

"Match Legacy After Effects QuickTime Gamma Adjustments" option for Premiere?

Does Premiere CS6 offer an option similar to After Effect CS6's "Match Legacy After Effects QuickTime Gamma Adjustments" option?
Working with 5K .r3d files in my Premiere timeline and all exports from Premiere using the Animation codec and opened in QuickTime Player X appear too bright.
Thanks in advance!

No, PrPro doesn't offer similar option, and if it were, it would hardly be a proper solution. Better option is to establish proper colour management workflow. On Windows that simply means disabling crooked QuirkTime or any other media player built-in colour management via e.g. GPU control panel. I'm not on a Mac and don't know how to establish proper colour management there. Check if this Apple help section can give you some clue.

Issues with OSX snow leopard and quicktime

I recently installed snow leopard and quicktime x does not play avi files. I've tried the perian patch but it won't install on my computer. Everything goes accordingly but when I go to the perian pref panel it says not installed. I click the manual install button and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Remove the Perian prefPane from /Library/PreferencePanes/, download the latest version, and try installing it. If still no go, try VLC.

Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
Dan

There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.

Error After effects quicktime Render

Hello
I am facing a problem rendering in After Effects CS5.
This is my computer :
- Windows 7 Pro 64bit
- Processor: Intel Xeon E5 2660 V2 - 20CPU
- 32GB Ram
- CG: Nvidia GTX 780 TI
My problem:
I'm working on a movie with a green screen sequences in .mov, animation codec. When I start rendering, it runs for a few pictures and then the error:
Error made in the background. Rendering in the foreground will be activated after 229 images out of 486 (26 § 142)
After Effects (Error) Error (4) when reading image from file D: \ ****** \ Sequences \ TV_Sequence-3a6.mov. (86 § 2)
After Effects (error): Keylight out of memory. (4) (25 § 241)
I tried a lot of manipulation:
- Checking "using the OpenGL" and it works but the rendering time is multiplied by 10 if not more.
- By changing the format of the green screen sequences (wmv, mp4, avi) and it works. So it's really a .mov problematic.
- By activating or not, the hyperthreading and it crashes.
- By testing a render without movie inside the comp and it works
So I think it comes from Quicktime and the number of processor cores, but how to solve this problem? : s
I already check this link : troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, CS6, and CC | After Effects region of interest but it doesn't works
Thank you for your help
(sorry for my english)

The QuickTime version is 7.7.5.
With my old machine, it worked perfectly.
I can make a render in .mov (animation, h.264, etc ) with no .mov in my comp but if there is, after effects gives me an error ...
Thanks for your reply

Mac to PC, FCP to After Effects--Quicktime not recognized! HELP!

Hello,
I searched far and wide and can't come up with anyone having answered this question after it's been asked by many before me!
I am editing on FCP4 (G5--Quicktime 6 pro).
I want to do After Effects (6.5) work on my PC (HP 3ghz, 1 gig RAM,)
I am not compressing any files. I capture the files in FCP from mini-DV. Then I take the captured file from the mac into the pc.
Here's where it all goes bad. The PC does not recognize the file as anything. Quicktime will open and play it, but I can't open it in After Effects at all.
I have read that if I had Quicktime Pro in the PC I can just SAVE AS the file with another name and all will be cool. But the last thing I want to is is spend another $30 on Quicktime only to have this not be true.
Any ideas? Answers? Reasons for this problem?
Please help me!
Thanks in advance,
Mike

The thing is I don't want to compress it at all. I just want to take the captured footage out of the Mac and into the PC.
Since the Mac captures it as a Quicktime file, this shouldn't be a problem--but it is.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again,
Mike

Cost effective quicktime hosting service?

I'm looking for a recommendation on a streaming Quicktime H.264 Video server host. I've done a google search and there are hundreds... just checking if anyone is using a hosting service they like.
Cost effective would be nice.

Hey Guys,
This is Naimi from Charlotte, NC. I had some website design and web development projects which I wanted to outsourcing due to obvious reasons of low cost and effective results. I was looking for a reliable outsourcing company who have proven track record and can deliver the results on time. I came across this Offshore Software Outsourcing Company called Tatvasoft through Google. I just sent them an enquiry and within two days they were back with reply on how to go about it. Their plan seemed promising and they were very flexible. I thought of giving them a shot, and it worked out. I started out with the small project and ended up giving all my projects to them.
Thanks to Tatvasoft.

Snow Leopard, quicktime H264 playback, cinema speakers cause video freezing

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on an early 2009 MBP 17 (2.66ghz) with 9400 and 9600 graphics chipsets. This version of Snow Leopard supports hardware-accelerated H264 video playback on the 9400 chipset. I have a 1080p video which plays back flawlessly using Snow Leopard's Quicktime player with hardware accelerated decoding (averages less than 5% of the CPU during playback of 1080p video).
Since I added the Apple Cinema Display 24 (ACD24) with its built-in USB speakers, I can no longer play this video back smoothly with the ACD's speakers in use for the sound. This setup causes frequent video playback pauses and freeze-frames (sound continues to play).
If I switch the system audio back to the MBP's built-in speakers, the playback immediately returns to being flawless.
I've also noticed that Windows 7 under Bootcamp does not work very well with these speakers, which frequently pop and click under Windows 7 when music or video is being played.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting these problems?

I seem to have fixed it.. I spent an hour troubleshooting. I logged into my vanilla guest account and the glitches were still there, so I knew if the problem was from 3rd party software, it was installed system-wide or at least for all users. So I removed all my 3rd party PreferencePanes and the problem disappeared. I slowly added them a couple at a time and the culprit was the Unsanity software (Application Enhancer, FruitMenu, MenuMaster, etc) .. I went to their site and the last update is about Leopard compatibility.. lol. So I think I'm just not going to use their software anymore. Problem solved!

Quicktime plugin disconnect error in Snow Leopard

I have a bit of a problem with Quicktime X in snow leopard. We use a Codian bridge quicktime stream for classes at our college and Snow Leopard has stumped me.
A problem we run into on occation is the -3184: Disconnected error when some clients are behind firewalls due to UDP streaming. Now normally this is a quick fix as you just go under your quicktime preferences and set your transport protocol to HTTP.
Unfortunately with quicktime X apple has seen fit to completely remove any preference adjustments. Now I know you can install quicktime 7 from the disk, but this does not give the preferences back. Does anyone know how to force quicktime 7 to be used for streaming media in firefox instead of QTX? Or how to get preferences back? Or heck even to completely cripple X and just use 7?
I've got a lot of Mac using students that are stuck without classes right now.

Well. I guess I wasn't as helpful as I thought I could be.
Obviously the options are available to me because of the way I upgraded from Leopard (from Tiger, Panther and Jaguar) to Snow Leopard. Heck. I still have a working copy of QuickTime 6.5.2 on this Snow machine because it offers features not found in version 7.
My only suggestion to you would to be upgrading a machine that previously had Leopard (and QuickTime Player Pro) to Snow Leopard OS.
I don't really understand this issue and it may be more complex than I can figure out. All of the codecs (compressor/de-compressor) should be somewhere on your machine otherwise you couldn't view a file with these "legacy encoders". It's just that a QuickTime export doesn't give you the option to "use" (compress) them.
Is there a technical reason why you need Sorenson Video 3 encoder?
Here is another of my older Web pages that uses Sorenson Video 3 (in part):

Installing Quicktime 7.6.x ( leopard) iin SL

to fire out all the hidden dust in my boot disk ( some from march 2001), I decided to make a snow leopard from zero install....
I've only keep; music, pictures, movies, address book, ical, networks settings, keychain and few more things.
I know when a update leopard to snow leopard Quicktime 7 is moved to SL aplications folder.... but I'm unable to install it from his installer.
Can I do this or I must to forget to have it running in SL ????

Snow Leopard supports QuickTime Player 7 version 7.6.3 but not the later 7.6.4 version. (Note carefully the *System Requirements* at the QuickTime 7.6.4 for Mac download page.)
To install the appropriate version of QT Player 7 simply follow the instructions at Installing QuickTime Player 7 on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. It will be installed in /Applications/Utilities, not in /Applications.

Quicktime player problems since installing Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard my Quicktime plays weird. The are sharp horizontal streaks and glitches where the picture smears (the only way I can describe it). If I restart or shut down and restart, that sometimes resolves the problem, but for only a short while.
Any suggestions from any of you pro guys out there?

Hi:
I'm not a pro, but I think I would download the OS X 10.6.4 combo updater and apply it. Something may have gone wrong with the initial update. Alternatively, I would reinstall OS X 10.6 from the software install DVD and then run software update.

QuickTime stopped working after installing upgrading to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I am using a MacBook Pro and was running Mac OS X Leopard, and QuickTime worked perfectly. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I can´t get QuickTime to work. When I try to reinstall QuickTime for Snow Leopard it tells me it is already installed.
How will I get it to work again?

but now I can not open QuickTime at all.
I hate to ask, but what does this mean? Are you double-clicking or "drop" opening a movie and no player is opening? Are you simply clicking on the application icon and no player is opening but the application name does display in the top-left area of you monitor? Do you get a modal message saying something is wrong or saying the application quit unexpectedly while opening? Please try to be more specific regarding what is actually taking place as this may provide additional clues as to whether the problem is in the application, the operating system, 32-bit/64-bit mode switching/access problems, missing playback components for 32-bit routines, component list ordering conflicts, etc.
