Making a apple video gallery with QT?

How do I make a video gallery like this...
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#ftp
Been searching but all I come up with is how to do it with flash. Thanks!

Marc ~ The following suggestions are Flash-like video players, but anyway...
I don't know if this one will simply work in iWeb's HTML Snippet Window:

Vimeo recently re-designed their player:

Or there's the YouTube approach:

Creating video gallery with thumbnails?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to create this video gallery that has clickable thumbnails on it. When no one is around to click on the thumbnails, the videos play on a loop. However, I want there to be the ability to see thumbnails while the videos are playing so that if someone comes along, they can click on that thumbnail and view that specific video.
I've been trying out different themes in iDVD, but nothing seems to have that feature where you can still see the thumbnails of the different videos you have while a video is playing. Anyone know of how to do this? Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Theoretically yes but I haven't tried it. You could try to create a disk image and play it with Mac Blu-Ray Player. But as I said I have no first hand knowledge regarding this.
Note that your video needs to HD to go the Blu-Ray route. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Hi,
I have put together a XML Driven Video Player with auto thumbnail detection but there is a problem.The Video plays but, The thumbs will not show. I think my thumbnail function is not reaching the correct node in my XML.Can someone take a look at my Actionscript Please? The Action Script is below. The XML is at the bottom of this post. The top half of the code is the video playing code the bottom is for the thumbs.

image_mcl.loadClip(image[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
i tried
videoList.getItemAt(k).image
which works in the trace method but gives no response in the actual code it self
So the line of code that should work is
image_mcl.loadClip(videoList.getItemAt(k).image, "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
and not
image_mcl.loadClip(image[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
but I gets no response

Making a basic Video starting with sound files only

I'm totally new to Premiere and find it quite dauting. Basic tutorials don't really seem to be helping as they presume you start with a working video.
What I have is several 30-60 second .wav files which I need to be in sequence most of them also have associated GIF images to go with them.
I'd like to create a video which just plays the wav files and the the associated GIFs in sequence?
How do I go about doing this? Help much appreciated.

Before you add any Assets to a Video Track, it will be black, as there is nothing to show. However, that "empty" Video Track can be problematic with many Export options.
Instead, I would Import the Audio files, and drag each to the Timeline, where you want them. Note: a 1-channel (Mono) Clip will ONLY go on a 1-channel Audio Track, but if you do not have one, and need one, just drag that 1-channel Clip to the Master Audio Track. It will not go there, but PrPro will create the necessary 1-channel Audio Track, and put the Clip onto it. Same for 2-channel (Stereo).
When you have your Audio Tracks in place, go to the New icon at the bottom of your Project Panel, and click on that. From the drop-down, choose Black Video. When created, just drag that to say Video Track 1. It will probably be only 05 sec. long (the default), but just click+drag on the Tail of that Black Video Clip, to drag its Duration to match the Duration of the entire Audio Track(s).
Then, Import the graphic Images. Drag each to say Video Track 2, above that Black Video. Adjust each Image's Duration, as needed. If required, you can adjust the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale, and Motion>Position, if needed. You can also Keyframe those Fixed Effects, if you wish to animate them over time, i.e. Pan, and/or Zoom.
Done.
Good luck,
Hunt

Making a lightbox photo gallery with thumbnails for 100+ photos

I have been trying to make the above (all is in an accordion). I started by merely using a thumbnail slide show, but that didn't work because I couldn't organise the thumbnails into multiple pages. So my solution was to first put a multiple page tooltip composition setup with position on lightbox, transition on horizontal and hide all intially unchecked. Then, within each tooltip slide I placed a lightbox slide show with 9 pictures. This way, there are multiple pages with 9 thumbnails on each, and clicking on one shows the enlarged picture. This presented 3 problems, which I need help to solve.
1) Appearance in design mode doesn't reflect appearance in browser preview. In design, everything is aligned and looks good, while in preview in browser it doesn't:
2) Upon clicking on thumbnail, the preview is behind the thumbnails:
3) Intially (in preview in browser) one must click on a target to show the tool tip slides.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
P.S: Also, my slideshow on the home page doesn't show in preview in browser mode, if you help with this it would also be aprecciated.

Hi
Please check if thumbnails are placed in target container , as if thumbnails are placed in container then image with lightbox will also show the triggers.
If still same issue, please share the site url.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Create FLV Video Gallery In Dreamweaver?

Hi and thanks in advance to those who can offer some advice.
I'd like to create a Flash Video Gallery with thumbnails that link to video and play on the page. Only one video screen. Something like Youtube.
I'm new to Dreamweaver and have built everything else for the site and the portfolio is the last page where I need to have the video gallery.
Any tutorials and direction is appreciated.
Again, I'd like to have one page with thumbnails that plays the video on the page in one window, not multiple windows.
Thanks!

Wimpy Rave is absolutely perfect for this type of video gallery. One media player can handle all your video and audio files seemlessly from a playlist.
See Examples, Rave Video Playlist.

What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states.
I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc. Too public. I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state).
Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RJ Chesterton

an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
config is via a dedicated set-up utility
however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

I was making new Apple ID with my other Email on iTunes, but I canceled the process on payment page. After a while I went to make a new ID with same Email but it says the Email is already in use! what should i do?

You will need to try changing the email address on the first account and see if you can then re-use it on a new account - you can try changing the email address via http://appleid.apple.com or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (if you don't have a spare email account then you can create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com)

I want to video chat with people on Facebook or MSN who are not using an apple device.

I Have been trying to video chat with friends and family using my ipad 3 but they do not have apple devices.
WHat does anyone suggest for an app to link to my Facebook and/ or msn account in order to be able to video chat with them?

It sounds like Skype would do well. It has no direct connection to Facebook or MSN, but that's OK ... as long as they use Skype as well.
Skype is now a Microsoft product, so it's related to MSN in some sense.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Videos encoded with Apple Animation Codec won't play properly in QT7.5

Quick Time version I have installed is 7.5 (149.5). I also have Perian 1.1 and Mpeg2 codec for QT.
All of a sudden, all videos I render using Apple Animation Codec with alpha channel won't properly play in QuickTime, nor in Preview (when you click on .MOV file and press Space). They actually play, but colors are all screwed up and it looks like it's playing only alpha layer. I tried same movies on my work buddy's Mac and everything looks perfet. I also tried importing those videos into Flash, and everything works fine, but when I have to preview them in QT or using Finder's Preview, they look crazy. I can't send any screenshots since this thing happens on my work iMac (new aluminum one, Leopard 10.5.4, all updates installed) and I am at home now.
I tried reinstalling QT but to no avail, nothing changed. I've looked through Library/QuickTime subfolder, and only items I could find were QuickTimeMPEG2.component, Perian.component, ffmpeg.component, and AppleIntermediateCodec.component.
I'm slowly going crazy over here, because nothing I tried worked.
Is there any way of completely removing everything QT related and reinstalling it from the scratch ? Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hah, found out what's the problem. It is not my computer, it is not my QuickTime got corrupt. It is QuickTime's bug decoding movie file encoded using following combination of settings:
Quick Time encoder
Compression Type: Animation
Depth: Millions of colors+ (alpha channel included)
Quality: Best
ParticleIllusion
Output options
Save Alpha - enabled
Remove Black bg from RBG channels - if this item is enabled, this is exactly what gives QT problems trying to encode it. I repeat, this option must be enabled in some cases (it removes that nasty black-dirt-looking extra halo glow around the object that already has some kind of glow applied to it). It makes your animation rendered with alpha channel a lot better looking and animation seamlessly blends with any kind of colored background. Well, QT has problems "reading" this format.
In the same time, if you import such animation rendered with this option enabled into Flash, everything looks perfectly fine. It's just QuickTime won't play it properly.
Every single Mac I checked has this same problem, and it's not Mac's problem, it is QuickTime problem.
I have two examples, you can see it yourself:
First one is when black bg is still present in RGB channels (animation looks exactly as it should):
http://www.sasha-z-creations.com/quicktime/Example_BlackPresent.mov
And second one is when black bg is removed from RGB channels (colors looks weird):
http://www.sasha-z-creations.com/quicktime/Example_BlackRemoved.mov
I repeat, both examples look exactly the same (great looking) when imported into Flash dev utility.
Cheers!

Trying to install Bootcamp 4 with non Apple video Card

Hi folks
So I had to buy a new video card (ATI HD 5850 1 GB DDR5) but of course, I lost acces to the boot screen, so I'm wondering how to install Bootcamp, since I don't have acces to the boot screen. In some point of the Bootcamp installation, the Mac re-boots but it freezes or something like that, so I have to turn it off.
For the other hand, I have the original nVidia 8800 GT which came with the Mac Pro, but's fried and it only works on safe mode. So I'm wondering if it's possible to install Bootcamp by using the 8800 GT in safe mode.
After failing on the Bootcamp installation, I have seen that the OSX already created a Bootcamp partition but in FAT 32 and we know it's neede din NTFS or such. So I was wondering if there is a way to sort this out somehow.
I also have another Bootcamp with Win7 in other hard disk, but quite small, so now I have an empty disk of 300GB, I would like to put all the windows stuff there.
So:
1. It seems I cannot use the new video card because of the boot.
2. It seems I cannot use the old video card because it's fried.
3. The Bootcamp partition is already there but in FAT 32.
Any ideas?
Meanwhile, I'm going to try some kind of "ideas".
Thanks in advance!
Ø3

Then I google it and I found my thread... Mmmhhh... :/ Anyway, somehow, when Mac boots in order to perform the Win7 installation, after the Apple' chime, a BIG and BLACK pixellated apple apears on a super white background. While it stays, the disk is scratching the surface, then appears an icon of a Folder with an ? on it, The again, the big apple and the scratch, then a Ø symbol ^^ and again, the  with the scratching sound and loops all the time there... I think it's because the non apple video card. But how can be possible... Installation is just, you know, a pair of graphics going there, not OpenGL stuff! xD

HT1771 why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies

why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!

HI,
Apple did not erase iChat.
Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
You may need to enable them for Messages.
They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

Need help with an Apple Video Conferencing webcam

I am having a fit trying to get my Performa (6500/225) to work with the hardware I have. Previously I had a Performa 6400/180. I have an Apple Video Conferencing webcam that I was able to make work with OS 9.1. It worked with the original software that came with it and it worked with the software for the Logitech Quickcam (QuickPict setting) I was even able to use it with Ivisit (webcam program). Now that I've had to change the harddrive and reinstall everything, it doesn't work with anything but the original software.
Can anyone tell me what extensions I might need or how to configure it so it will work with what I already have?
Performa 6500/225 Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanks to all who tried to help. As it turned out it was not a problem with the cam. It took some time and some tweaking but I did get it to work. I had a problem with the webchat program iVisit and I was able to get that solved thru their tech support forum.
This Apple Video Conference camera was a great find. I recommend it to anyone who still uses a vintage mac like mine. What a shame it was discontinued.
