Movie File Thumbnails help

I am trying to give my movie files thumbnails/icons of thier respective movie dvd covers and every time I drag the image to the "get info" icon area it changes to an icon of a "jpeg" instead of the actual image desired. Help!
I have done this same process in months past and did not have a problem and all of a sudden I have run into this dilema. I do not want to download any extra programs. I just need to know why this isnt working anymore. Very Sad ):

Hi Livilove23,
If you are having issues changing the icon of your files by dragging and dropping the image in Get Info, you may want to try copy and paste, as outlined in the following article:

IMovie wont accept .mov files. Help please.

I have imported a bunch of movie files from my digital camera. They are now in IPhoto and everything is fine. I would like to import them into IMovie to do some editing but for some reason it will not accept the file. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? All of the files i am trying to move into IMovie are .mov files. Shouldnt they work? Please help.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? All of the files i am trying to move into IMovie are .mov files. Shouldnt they work?
Not necessarily. MOV is a generic file container -- not a compression format. It can hold any audio and video compression format combination compatible with the QT structure and currently installed QT components. (Even WMV content can be placed in an MOV container.) Unfortunately, iMovie '08 will only import files containing compression formats that it can edit "natively." Kodak digital cameras, for instance, tend to favor MPEG4/µ-Law compression. And, while the MPEG-4 video is compatible with iMovie '08, the µ-Law 2:1 audio compression is not. To import an MOV file, both audio and video compression must be compatible. In the case of the MPEG4/µ-Law file, only the audio format has to be converted to make the file compatible. One way to do this is to use GarageBand to access the "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and "Pass through" the video which converting the audio to AAC -- mono 64 kbps at 44.1 kHz will work here -- and place both in an MP4 container. Another method is to simply convert both audio and video to compatible formats using a converter of your choice.

Rendering mov files! Help!

I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem but don't know what else to do.
I have a bunch of mov files that I would like to edit on FCP but whenever I put them into the timelines they require rendering (before I even edit them!) And rendering each file is not an option because I have 100s of files and they each take about 30 minutes to render.
Why is FCP not letting me watch any of the files before they are rendered?
I also made sure the sequence is on the same settings and the clips but that didn't seem to fix anything.
any help will be appreciated.

So I was trying this for MONTHS and couldn't get the clips to work properly. Right after I posted the message I decided to try one more time...and it worked! I changed the setting of the timeline and this time when I put my clip in the timeline I didn't have to render it and was able to edit some clips I've been trying to edit since December!
Thanks guys

Can't play MOV file! Help!

I received a large MOV (HD) file from a supplier who also uses FCP. I'm trying to load and play the file in FCP but it just plays blank. I can't even play it on QT. It's a blank screen. I have QT Pro Version 7.5.5 (249.13). Do I need to upgrade QT? Am I missing components either in QT or FCP? I have FCP version 5.1.4.

Note he said his version of Final Cut is several generations older than the one the file was authored in so somehow these codecs will not magically appear in his computer. If they were there now it would play now. Note you are also sugegsting to take the phantom codecs from the location they need to be and copy them to the same location. If they are not there he cannot, if they are there then you don't have to.
Also DivX is unrelated to Final Cut and it is a mistake to use it on any mac (vs. the use of Perian, which is free and handles DivX).
Kirk's advice is right. Or he can pay the $ and upgrade to a version of Final Cut that is equal to the senders version.

No Thumbnail for MOV Files

Hello there
was looking through the forum here, no result...at least I found no solutions to my problem...
I just tried Bridge today as a new way to get all my video Clip Files into a thumbnail view and make my live easier.. but... every Movie file shows just the generic .mov File thumbnail. I am using Mac OS X 10.7.4 and Adobe Bridge CC .. Quicktime 10 and the older Quicktime Player Version 7.6.6 is installed
How can i get Bridge to show the thumbnails?? This would be a total show stopper..

ok, i was purging the cache in the Preferences Folder. it rebuilt, but it looks the same as before.
Now, if i wa susing strange Codecs i could understand.. but.. those are Animation, Photo-JPEG , H264 and all different kind of files. But not any of them show up. I was also checking the Files size limit, and set it to 20GB - 20000MB.
I also uninstalled Perian - thought maybe thats trobeling somwhow.. but.. no chance... very strange.I would think thats one of the basic functionality of Bridge...

No thumbnails or playback of MOV files in Adobe Bridge CC

Hi
I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of Bridge from the Creative Cloud and I am unable to view thumbnails of .MOV files taken with an Apple iPhone5. I am able to open the file but there is no audio or video in the playback. Anyone else have similar issues? I am able to view these same files in Lightroom CC fine. I am using Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Only thing I can think of is there must have been some kind of mixup in
the transfer process. Here's what I did: I plugged her phone into our
Macbook Air at home and transferred her stills and movies off from her
camera (using iPhoto) to a connected portable hard drive. From there I
copied and pasted the files onto a removable thumb drive. From there I
brought them to work on my PC and copied them off to a portable hard drive
there. Seems to me the MOV files got lost in translation somehow. It's
possible I didn't do this correctly? I know with MY iPhone images and
movies I copied them directly from my phone onto my computer (PC) when it
showed up as a device in my device listing. It wanted to use iTunes for
this but I bypassed iTunes and did it the old fashioned way. These are the
files that I am able to view correctly on my PC at work in Bridge. So I
guess I need to recheck my workflow here.

Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]

"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"

Thumbnails no longer appear for .dv video files - Please help!

I have about 10,000 .dv files on my hard drive and every since installing Mavericks, the thumbnails have disappeared. I see that if I try to open them, QT automatically converts them to a .mov file. This isn't really a solution since I import them into my video editing software and I just need to be able to see the thumbnails to tell which video file is which.
I guess either of the two solutions would work, but I don't know where to go about looking for the anwer:
I either need to be able to:
1. Get the video thumbnails to show up again for .dv files in Mavericks
or
2. Find a way to batch convert about 10,000 .dv files to .mov so the thumbnails will again appear.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.

I've exhausted all the searching I can online and I've come up with nothing. Looks like my only solution is to use a program like Wondershare Video Converter and convert all the .dv files into .mov one directory at a time.
I did one test and it took a couple of hours for the first directory, and I've got about 200 directories of files to convert.
Usually, I'm not one to be upset by things Apple changes in their OS, but this is one of those things where I simply cannot figure out why they would have removed the thumbnails for a video type. One that has existed for many years.
Strange.
If anyone thinks of any other solution, please let me know. I'm probably not going to do the conversion for a couple of weeks in hopes that another solution does come up.
Thanks for your help!

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.

hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.
