Movie starting from poster frame

When I create a poster frame using Quicktime Pro, it does the trick of changing the thumbnail. But then when I open the movie, it starts playing at the poster frame point and not at the beginning. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Guyutius

I had investigated this as an FMS bug a long time ago. It turned out to be a Flash Player issue and what came out of its decompression and image buffers. There are likely some ways to work around it with a new video object etc. However, you may also want to try a new FlashPlayer version in case it's been fixed. Sorry that I don't have more insight but AFAIK that's the issue you've been facing.

Imporing QT movies but set poster frame doesn't remain in iWeb

I've "set poster frames" in the Quicktime movies that I am importing into iWeb. They appear properly in my working iWeb file but the poster frame I've set doesn't remain after the site is published. The Quicktime poster frame goes back to black. Anyway to fix this?

you can of course set the QT background to any color, I use white, in the Export window. Blends into the background of my page which is also white.

How do I move Start from the upper right-hand corner of the screen to bottom left of screen?

For some reason, I accidentally hit a button which moved my Microsoft Start button to the upper right hand corner of the screen. I would prefer the Start button to be in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Please advise.
Thank you.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. The Start button is a part of the WinXP operating system.

How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

Need some help on the following.
Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
thx ra

This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

Poster Frame Bug?

After creating a Photo Page and adding 3 movies. I set the Poster Frame on all 3 movies plus adjust some of the movies in's and out's. I publish and everything is great. If I quit iWeb and open it again to update my website, the photo pages with movies lose the poster frame and in and outs. So I have to manually set them again before publishing??? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks!

Darren;
Are you adding the movies in the photo page area where photos usually go? A better option would be to add the three movies to a non photo page like shown on this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. That way you can use any frame of the movie as the poster frame and the movies do not load until the play button or the thumbnail (example at bottom of page) is clicked on.

IWeb - Poster Frame

I just launched a new website and have had no problems except for getting the poster frame to work properly. I don't like the poster frame (frame of video to freeze) on three of the video, so I adjusted to the desired frame using the poster frame in the inspector. It saves and shows the adjusted shot that I just made in iWeb, but once I publish site changes (done this many, many times) it never shows on my web page. I reopen iWeb and it still shows the change I made, but I can't get it to change on my webpage. Any suggestions?

Although I don't display movies this way due its severe limitations, it seems that there has been a problem with poster frames in the last two versions of iWeb. Does anybody report this?
I spent a little time looking into other ways of displaying movies with a poster frame. This one calls up the QT plugin and loads a poster movie. It has the advantage that the "real" movie doesn't have to load with the page but is more complicated than most users would wish.....
http://web.me.com/roddymckay/Movies-New/Poster-Movie.html
It looks like HTML5 is going to be able to do this very simply someday. Unfortunately, in this example, the poster image only displays while the movie is loading and disappears when it is ready to play.....
http://web.me.com/roddymckay/Movies-New/Video-Tag.html
Most of the new players that use HTML5 and fallback to flash for browsers that don't support it have provision for a poster image - like this one...

Poster Frame QT Movie linked to standard QT Movie loads in Firefox not I.E.

Ok, this may be a rare question here. Here's what I've done following a small blurb of directions in iMovie6/iDVD the Missing Manual by David Pogue. (awesome book)
I've created a "poster frame movie" in QT. This is a one -frame movie I use as the picture on the page.
This poster frame movie, when clicked, is linked to a full version of the same movie that opens in the same place. The reason for this poster frame movie is to start the QT plug-in download as soon as someone reaches my page so there is no wait time when they click to watch the movie, it should be instantaneous.
I tested this last night on my Mac with Firefox, and after clicking the poster frame movie (i.e.) the picture; the linked movie loaded right away. This worked on PC with Firefox as well.
However, when this is page is loaded in Internet Explorer, on Mac or PC, the poster frame movie is there, but when clicked, the full movies do not load.
Can anyone think of why or what setting I.E. may have that doesn't allow my QT movies to load when other browsers allow it?

Yup, that's your problem.
Before the <embed> you should add:
<param name="href" value="http://blip.tv/file/get/Awarner20-AnniversarySecondTry745.mov">
<param name="target" value="myself">
As predicted, your problem is that while the QuickTime plug-in has the HREF and TARGET parameters, they are missing from your OBJECT code, meaning that the QuickTime ActiveX Control will never see them. You need to include all parameters in both places (unless you want different behavior in IE).
Also, TECHNICALLY, you should also add a </embed> just before the </object>. The <embed> tag, like, for instance, the tag is self-closing, but the most recent XML standard (HTML is a subset of XML) says, "Thou shalt close all of thy tags". So it won't make a bit of difference in function, but it is good practice. And yes, you should also close your tags and use or , too.
(although technically we're not supposed to use EMBED at all anymore, as it isn't in the HTML spec, but it works with all browsers except IE while OBJECT doesn't always...)

Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
to the poster frame.
I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
Any help appreciated.

Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
Flash for the first time".

Can't set Poster Frame for Movies on site

Hi - Any insight into this problem is much appreciated - I've built a simple site, a few pages have 2 or 3 compressed MPEG-4 movie files on the page (they are roughly 30MB each clip). I built the clips in FCP then exported them using Compressor and saved them as MPEG-4 files. I then dragged the files onto blank pages and built the site that way. I have set the Poster Frames for these clips in iWeb08, but after I publish the site the Poster Frames only save on a few files, most do not. Also, some of the clips stop playing mid-way through. Any simple fixes for this/these problem(s)? Thanks.

Sorry to tell you so late in your life that you only have one job when it comes to moms and grand-moms. Give them what they want!
Part of your "monicker" best describes the issue.
You can edit your published pages using hundreds of tools but the are best edited with a plain text editing app like BBEdit (any plain text editor works).
You can use Safari to view your page and even "save" the source code (Command-Option-U) and then "save as". Edit this new page to make your changes and drag it back into the appropriate Web older of your iDisk (replacing the older version).
I did it to one of my pages to add a sound file to one of my slideshow pages:

Can't set POSTER FRAME for .mp4 movies... can for most others

I've got QTPro.
When I try to create a poster frame for a .mp4 movie I compressed it tells me I have to save and does one of the following two things:
1) Tells me I can't save after I hit SAVE
2) Tells me it wants to save as a .mov file... I don't WANT a .mov file.
Any thoughts?

Can't Set Poster Frame - or - Add Artwork on 3 MP4 Movies

Hi all,
Itunes 7.2 with a DVD library of MP4 files specifically ripped for Apple TV.
Out of 47 movies, three will not allow me to add artwork. In fact, If I attempt to add artwork, the movie file becomes corrupted with only a white screen showing for the entire movie. Once I replace the move (I have backups) all is fine.
If I attempt to set poster frame - nothing happens at all.
Two Piglet Movies and Peter Pan.
All other, including many other kids movies are perfect.
Big bug here?
Thanks,
Stu

Same exact thing happens for me. Once the screen and thumbnail go white there is no fixing it iTunes 7.2 and 7.3 and 7.3.1 no difference for me. Some movies I can some I can't.
I am Using HandBrake to rip with Buit in settings for Apple TV to rip DVD'S
Sometimes it won't go white but won't change either the artwork from the original rip just stayes and nothing changes or sometimes iTunes just freezes and doesn't respond. I then have to force quit iTunes just for it to not remember any changes that I made that did work...

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

'poster frame' for movies is not saved

Hi iTunes people,
Note - this all used to work in Leopard - this feature has become non-functional since the arrival of Snow Leopard.
When I set the POSTER FRAME, via the contextual menu that appears for an entry in the movies section of iTunes, it is not saved.
Although the 'artwork' image in the lower left of the itunes window temporarily shows the frame I selected, if I go away from that item or perform the same action on another movie, the poster frame that had been selected is gone and is replaced with whatever was there from before.
The only way it appears that one can save a poster frame is to physically drag-n-drop an image into the ARTWORK tab of the 'Get Info dialog for that item.
Does anyone have any other suggestions about how to make this feature work - without having to create and deposit artowrk into the GetInfo dialog? I lost 1900+ poster frames I had created for various movies and clips because of this problem. I really am not looking forward to again having to do all that work.
Thanks!

Rotated Movie, Poster Frame is unrotated

I took a movie in portrait mode instead of the normal landscape mode.
Then I used QT Pro 7.0.3 to rotate it. Nice job!
Then I went to View > Set Poster Frame after selecting the desired frame.
Saved the file. Went to finder and the Poster Frame (or Icon) in the Finder is unrotated.
Bug? Or feature?
Any help appreciated.
Roberto

I am seeing the same thing:
!http://idisk.mac.com/charlie.whitfield/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iWeb-20080718-231 737.jpg!
I publish movies to .Mac/MM directly from iMovie '08. I add them to my iWeb pages using Insert/.Mac Web Gallery:
!http://idisk.mac.com/charlie.whitfield/Public/Pictures/Skitch/Untitled1-2008072 2-185017.jpg!
There's no way to select the poster frame from within iWeb. However, I would expect that capability to exist within iMovie '08 but it doesn't.
I asked the same question over on the iMovie '08 forum and [didn't get very far besides determining that it can't be done without buying Quicktime Pro|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7683855#7683855].
