Mov files playing upside down

When I send mov files to other peoples computers or anyone with an ibm-PC the mov files are upside down. How do I correct this?

Me again nick, but on the video quality - btw, I really like ur work - I was struck by http://web.me.com/coutroulis/Nikos_site/neulasta.html, which is exhibiting the same behavior as some QT files being exported from FCS 3 here in the studio, using either QT or Compressor engine. And that would be the de-interlacing artifacts on fast moving changes, as with transitions, sails flapping, flower petals falling etc.. I have not figured out why the "noise" appears yet in just certain HD projects, but what we found was that after we uploaded to youtube (and all of our stuff goes there with the rest of the garbage), that artifact went away. That was a case of "garbage in, amrita out." It also goes away (somewhat) when we burn to DVD. But the artifact only popped up after we certified FCS3 on Snow Leopard. Now everyone is shaking their heads. Perhaps this is related...

  • QuickTime .mov plays upside-down in Windows Media Player

    I know the cause of this: If you record using an iPhone with the volume buttons pointed at the ceiling, the resulting video plays upside-down in Windows Media Player. QuickTime is smart enough to correct and rotate automatically. Not so WMP. I have several clips that were recorded with the volume buttons pointed up. If I use QuickTime Player to rotate the clips, then they are correct when viewed in WMP, but upside-down in QuickTime Player!
    Is there any way to fix these clips so they are right-side up in both worlds? Or is there no choice but to re-record everything with iPhone's volume buttons pointed at the floor?

    Your assumptions are only partially correct. When you record the clip on your iPhone, the clip is recorded just as you see it in the WMP—i.e., upside down. What the iPhone does is records an addition file value that tells Apple media players which edge to display as the "top" during playback. Since third-party media players ignore this value, they display the clip in its original orientation which, in your case is upside down. When you flip the video orientation using QT 7 Pro, you're telling QT media players to play the file with an "upside down" orientation. By exporting the "flipped" orientation, you are, in fact, re-encoding the original "upside down" to a "right-side up" display but simultaneously telling all Apple media players to play the file upside down.

    Actually, you can do either. That is, you can either "fix" the original recordings or re-record the the clips in a manner that avoids this problem. To "fix" your original files, simple open the files in an Apple media player (like QT 7 Pro) and export the files. The player will note the current "top" orientation and re-encode the content using the current display orientation for both QT and third-party players.

  • Video plays upside down, but is fine when paused.

      I have a video in the time line and it looks fine, until i play it, then it plays upside down.  I tried flipping it in the motion tab in the viewer but it still plays upside down.  Any ideas? -Thanks

    Click on the troublesome source file in the FCP Browser, and once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the Item Properties for the clip. Either report what those properties are, or take a screen shot and post that screen shot here (by clicking on the little camera icon in the reply pane to add the image to your post) if that is easier.
    Then, click anywhere on your sequence timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report what those sequence settings are, or take a screen shot and post that screen shot here (by clicking on the little camera icon in the reply pane to add the image to your post) if that is easier.

    Hi,
    Most video editing software will be able to rotate video - a free option is Windows Movie Maker - see the answer on the following link.

  • Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

    When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
    When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

  • One mov file plays in Media Viewer on Ext Hd Drv, imported into FCPX it plays 5 sec then goes black. No problem with other mov files.

    One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

    Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?

  • A mov file plays in 'Get Info' preview, but not in Quicktime

    I recorded a talk to web cam yesterday using Quicktime Pro and edited out the overlong pauses and fluffs to produce a series of .mov clips. Today I copied and pasted the clips into one .mov file in Quicktime Pro. The first 12 clips were fine.
    The 13th clip opened as if it was audio only, but when played did not give any sound. An examination of the movie properties window showed about 3 minutes of audio and video, but neither were selected and could not be selected. When I tried to extract the video thinking I could then reassemble the file, I got a message saying that one of my raw clips was missing. The file was saved as self-contained and is about 7 MBytes. When it opens with the appearance of an audio file the last part of the clip I pasted in is highlighted as if selected; this corresponds to the file it is asking for.
    Now I had deleted my raw data as my hard drive is nearly full and I was getting warnings to that effect. But as the files had been saved as self-contained rather than reference, this should surely not be a problem.
    The strange thing is that if I select the .mov file and do a 'get info' then I can play the audio and video perfectly in the 'get info' preview plan, up until that final part corresponding to the missing file.
    It looks like I have to do the last bit once more, but how can I keep the rest of it? I've tried deleting the final part and re-saving, but it still opens with the appearance of an audio file (which is silent when I play it). I can at least listen to what I said in the first recording, but it would be good to be able to keep the part that plays in 'get info'.
    Any ideas of how I can get to it?
    Any ideas.

    Solution found.
    I simply created a new .mov file and changed its name to the raw file that Quicktime told me was missing when I tried to open my edited clip.
    The edited clip now opens and I've been able to delete the final portion (which appears selected when the clip opens) and save the rest, which plays fine.
    This seems to have been a problem because in this particular clip I left the final portion I pasted in selected when I saved the file, even though I saved is as self-contained, not a reference file.

  • *.mov files play on ipad without audio

    I have recently transferred some *.mov files from my PC to iPad. These files play perfectly well on PC in both Quicktime Player and Windows Media Player. However, when I try to play them on iPad, I get video only (no sound). I have latest versions of all softwares so cannot figure out why iPad is not playing audio of only these files. I had some old *.mov files on my iPad which play perfectly well (both video and audio) so how can I fix this problem.

    I had some WMV files which I had converted to *.MOV using AVS Video Converter. I have compared the properties of old *.MOV files which play on iPad perfectly well (using QuickTime Player) with the properties of the newly-transferred files and they are exactly the same in every aspect. Is it possible that because of low memory (about 4GB) left on iPad after the new files' transfer, the audio is not playing on iPad?

  • My Mov. files play sound but no picture on Quicktime Player

    Please help - I don't know much about computers - called the apple support line and they weren't very helpful.
    I'm a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    What do I need to do to play my mov. files? They play on my friends mac but not mine. They were originally edited in final cut pro and saved as mov.
    Help please?

    I am having the same issue. My .MOV files wouldn't even open, so I converted the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec using MPEG Streamclip as per the Apple Support Tech's instruction. The file will play now, but with no video. What else do I have to do?

  • IPhoto converts AVCHD to MOV files - is it down converting?

    I just bought a new camera yesterday.  It is a Sony Cybershot WX150 which records HD video (1080i) in AVCHD format.  When I import the files into iPhoto - which are then later exported as "originals" they are very small .MOV files.  I am wondering if my AVCHD files are actually down converting or if they are just small MOV files because the AVCHD files are already compressed?  Basically I want to make sure I'm not losing quality on import.  Ultimately I would prefer that I had the original file instead.  Does anyone have any input on this?  Thank you.

    The resolution that iPhoto of the exported photo from iPhoto is 1080 but that does not mean that it hasn't compressed or down converted.  I know the resolution i am shooting at is 1080i.  I would just like to know in the conversion process of AVCHD -> MOV if it is just re-wrapping or if it is actually converting.  I am ok with a small MOV file like it gives but I do not want the original quality adjusted at all.
    Unfortunately comparing the two on a computer screen may not tell the whole story and might look ok even if it is compressed. 

  • Move files without pressing down the trackpad in Lion

    I just got my new 13" Macbook Air but can't move files (or windows) by "double clicking and holding" the way I could on my old Macbook Pro. In order to move something I need to press down the trackpad, or use three fingers on it. Did Apple remove this option with Lion or how do I make it work?

    BEAUTIFUL!!!! HERE IS A MORE SIMPLER APPROACH
    If you want to reactivate the classic double-tap-and-drag gesture, it's possible, but the option is well-hidden. Instead of being in System Preferences under Trackpad, it's actually under System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse and Trackpad > Trackpad Options. Click the check box that says "Dragging" and you should be all set.

  • .MOV files play audio but no video

    hi, does anyone know why that when i open a .MOV file from my digital camera in quicktime, the audio plays fine but the picture however is a fuzzy green and purple mess? i have tried re-installing quicktime and everything but it makes no difference. do i need a new plugin for .mov files? the video plays fine in realplayer, but i would like to be able to open it in quicktime for realplayer tends to jump and freeze quite a lot.
    any help would be most obliged!
    Sam

    Yes, this fixed my problem too.
    The problem appears to be that Quicktime for Windows is set to require DirectX support as the default and my Toshiba Tecra M2 notebook with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M discrete video adapter probably doesn't support that.
    Quicktime Preferences (Advanced tab)
    ========================
    Safe mode (GDI only) <-- works, displays video correctly
    DirectX <-- video scrambled, brown/purple/other colors mess, but audio works
    Enable DirectDraw acceleration
    Enable DirectDraw on secondary monitors
    Enable Direct3D video acceleration
