Hello
i just got my AVI preview back , it solved by it self. I got some plug in failrure issues in Safari did not play some of the embeded movies. So I did some searching and I found that a littel plug in causes the issues. it is called 3IVX you can see it in System prefrences. just spot light it and you find the uninstall apps and i uninstalled and voila i was able to see the files in safari again and when i moved to my movie folder i saw all the avi files had a picture and when i pressed the space bar they played so hope that helps

Horizontal Lines in saved AVI preview file

Hi all,
On another thread I was asking why I was getting an error message when trying to export and save a movie, but now I was able to get a temp AVI file after hitting enter and saving a preview file, but this AVI preview file, which is normally of the same quality of the full saved file I think, has horizontal lines in it that are very obvious compared to the original file... below are the sample still screenshots to compare...
Clean original 720x480 30 fps AVI file
Horizontal lines showing in this Premiere 720x480 30 fps AVI preview file
I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
But when I do a "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"... but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is unused.
But I got a temp preview file that was generated after hitting enter to play the preview after I wasn't able to save, and that's how I got this file... and I think the temp files are normally just as sharp as the final saved files because they take just as long to generate when previewing by hitting enter as they do when doing and export and save.
Also, this process saved an 8.5 gigabyte AVI file from a 1.5 megabyte AVI file using the CamStudio codec.
Another try using the MSU lossless codec produced a 3.5 gigabyte AVI file that looked better, but wouldn't play any faster than about one frame per second after an hour and a half of saving time.
Does anyone have any solutions?... also I see that the new file from Premiere shows a larger screen size, though it was saved at the same 720x480 size as the original was.
Thanks,
numetro

Yes, that's what I started with, but it wouldn't render a working file of reversed video for anything over 2 minutes or so... so that's when I started trying everything else in the world... including these ridiculous attempts and resulting problems with Premiere trying to handle the complex task of saving a video file correctly.
If Apple can make a simple "REVERSE" button in its user friendly iMovie app, why can't anyone else?
Originally there was Xander's Video Time Reversal, that worked for me before and still works for some files, but just won't work on other slightly longer files and produces blank or unusable files 75 percent of the time, and Xander's French forum admin committee was asleep at the wheel while I waited for approval to ask a question.
Then there was "Rehan's" method of using two different apps (VirtualDub and Avisynth) and writing AVS script files in notepad... compared to this, it may be easier to have the desired video clip re-enacted in reverse with professional actors and a special effects team than it would be to use Rehan's method.
Then there is Stupeflix.com, which seems to be all the name implies since they were bragging about a webpage with an upload button to upload a clip to, and then a download button to get the reversed clip from... but the link for this magic page is nowhere to be found in the conversation on the blog site that was talking about it, and Stupeflix.com itself currently shows no feature of the kind.
Then finally at the long awaited end of this of my odyssey, after Premiere and before going back to XVTR, there was "K-5 Video Reversal Tool" and after reading the description about the needed codec pack and deciphering which download button is actually for the Video Reversal Tool and not one of those trick "Download Here" buttons that takes me to a virus laden site in Siberia, I did find a download link for it that is from Cnet.com... but then that app didn't work at all, even for very short, uncompressed AVI files, which it was supposed to handle with no problem... but it would flash a command prompt screen for a quarter second, then give a message stating that it produced the reversed file... which of course, it did not. And the guy that coded this gem has a chat thing on his K-5 website that he keeps responding to my original question about and he just can't admit that the app doesn't work.
I feel like... I've wasted a day and a half... now two days after writing so much.
Thanks,
digi

Finder not showing .avi preview in columns

Just a small problem, but annoying...
With Finder set to column views, I used to get a small, playable preview of movies in last column.
Suddenly, however, I don't get this preview with .avi files. MPG and MOV files give a preview, but not the AVI. I get the Play/Stop buttons and the timeline bar, but no preview image. Plus, it seems to take the finder ages to decide to not show the preview!
Anyone got a solution to this?
Thanks in advance!

Check out the suggestions made in the section "More Like This",to the right side of your question.
Best.

HT4075 there is no way to save a PDF in preview anymore

What happened to this software?????????
I used to be able to drag pdf pages from one file to another and then save the PDF with multiple pages. This feature has apparently been removed since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Preview and other preloaded software is the ONLY reason that I use Mac and not PC machines. If Preview is not restored to its previous level of functionality, I will be going back to PC's and I suggest that everyone else do the same. The changes made to OSX since Mountain Lion have been so bad and so poorly thought out. I cant even operate this machine any more, things like the "app store" are so offensive by their very nature that it angers me to even look at a Mac anymore.
I digress... right now I just need to know how to save a file and I hope someone reads this and wonders why they are so bad at creating software that someone would even have to ask this question........

Nothing comes up in my help that addresses the issue.
right now I just need to know how to save a file
It should have.
You could have just said, "**** you", it would have been a little bit more intellegent of a response.
Not very nice to font to someone who was trying to help you out. You originally posted in the wrong forum - Snow Leopard. Your post was moved by a HOST to the proper forum - Mountain Lion.

I can't open a pdf in Preview anymore. How do I fix this?

When I open a pdf, a dialog box opens up with the following message: "The file "File Name" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I tried it with Adobe Reader and I got the same message. I am running 10.10.1 on a 2013 Macbook Pro.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I can't open .cfm (ColdFusion) files in Preview anymore.

Hello, I was able to open a .cfm form in Preview last week but for some reason I can no longer open them and when I click the file Preview pops up but nothing opens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

download adobe reader for mac. even with adobe it's still weird. if you open adobe and then hit file-->open, you cannot select the .cfm file. However, right right click on the file you want to open and then hit 'open with' and then choose adobe reader. that worked for me.

Bridge does not show image previews anymore on one of my drives

Bridge isn't showing image previews on one of my drives. I have tried resetting the preferences as well as deleting the cache to no avail.

I don't believe so, because it operates as expected in finder. It's only bridge that doesn't seem to want to create the thumbnails. I went to the thread you posted, Robert, but unfortunately I'm not on Windows and don't see any "online" or "offline" options.
Transporter is not a cloud service. It's actually a local hardware device, so it's more a network drive than anything else.

Hello! I tried to get some new personas today, but when I rolled over a design, there's no instant preview anymore... Could anyone please help? Thanks! ^^

When I first upgraded to firefox 3.6, I could preview any design instantly. Have recently cleaned up junk files using iobit systemcare.

Previewing a persona only works on sites that are whitelisted via an allow exception.
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Site Preferences'.

Why can't I edit .CR2 files in new preview anymore?

I just downloaded mountain lion and I can't edit my .CR2 picture files without duplicating them and turning them into a .tiff file. I just want to rotate the picture to see what it would look like!

CR2 files are RAW Image Data files. You need a RAW image editing program to do anything to them and not resave them as JPGs or TIF files.
Preview is Not a RAW image editor.
Since you are saving your camera shots as RAW files you should already have a program like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Elements or Full PS, or some other RAW image editor. I bet your Camera came with one. Although it may be a Windows only program.
EDIT:
I see you have Lightroom
Then Stop viewing them in Preview. Use Lightroom. It is a Image, Raw and otherwise, Cataloging, Viewing and editing program.

Printing suddenly stopped: no preview anymore

Hi,
My MacBook Pro suddely stopped printing through USB on an Epson Stylus Photo.
It doesn't matter wich account I use for logging in or whatever application, if I click on "Print", the print window comes up, but nothing is displayed in the preview (although is checked)and nothing prints. There is even an error saying: An error occurred while printing (or something alike). I use 10.4.x, even an upgrade to the latest 10.4.7 didn't help. Nor resetting the printer or reinstalling drivers. I checked disk-permissions with disk-utility (Apple): nothing helped.
I think there is communication anyway with the printer. If I disconnect and remove the printersettings, after connecting again the printer it shows up again: so there is communication?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Just an update - I was able to print from a Windows computer hooked up to the same printer, so I know the printer is still functioning properly. Airport device also appears to be working properly. Next will check USB cable - after that I'm at a bit of a loss.

Why don't my graphics appear in local preview anymore?

As recently a yesterday, graphics were displaying fine in local browser preview. Today I synced with Adobe and installed an update to Dreamweaver CC, now I don't get graphics displayed in my browser previews.
I got a message that this doesn't work unless I'm using a testing server--I'm not--and that I should set up previews to use a temporary copy. I tried that. It "works" but I don't care for it. It changes the URL.
So, I designated my remote server as a testing server--two check marks for my FTP server in site setup. This also works--I see graphics--but again I don't care for it. Am I now required to use a testing server on my local PC to see graphics? I'm not developing 'dynamic sites' with PHP or or other server-side features. I'm fairly new to this... I like previewing locally.

I never found the solution to my problem. My other sites don't display this problem, so I surmise that the problem was my site, not DW. Early on I had deleted the site by deleting the folder in Windows explorer, rather than deleting it within Dreamweaver > Manage Sites. I then recreated the site with the same folder and site name. Perhaps this confused an internal database in DW?
I've just recreated the site with a new folder name, and the problem appears to be gone.
So, my problem is resolved.
However, the problem began AFTER I did a Sync with Adobe CC and installed an update to DW yesterday. I know that the Sync reset some things in my setup, because I accepted your cloud's settings over my own to resolve reported "conflicts". I noticed other changes.
The file extensions and paths in my code were fine. Link checker reported no problems. Links were set relative to root folder. However I encountered the problem as well when I tried setting them relative to to the document.
When I set up a remote FTP server, and left test server unchecked under Advanced Setting, I wasn't getting graphics in local Preview. When I checked both Remote server and Test server, everything was fine on my remote site but, of course, I couldn't Preview the site locally. The preview took me out to the remote server.
At one point I was getting an error message that content could not be viewed locally, that I should either set up a test server or select temporary files for previews--which worked but the urls were changed.
Hope this helps.

Image preview does not appear anymore

For a while now every time I click on an image in the Google image result page it doesn't open the image previewer anymore, but instead takes me directly to the website where the image is from and there I have to actually search for said image. Sometimes that image is not even visible or available anymore on the website, despite the fact that it showed up during my Google image search.
How do I get the previewer to work again?

Hi KarrieDreammind,
I just tried this with the requested desktop site on an android device, and with a mobile version of Google Image Search. Both give a view of the image with a black background.
Please clear the private data stored and reload the page. [[How do I clear private data on Firefox for Android?]]

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

After installingwindow 8.1 preview, itune does not recognize iphone

After IO update and and installing window 8.1 preview, Itune does not recognize iphone.
I went to devise manager and it tells me everything is working properly, but can not read the iphone on itune.
Please help with this problem
Thanks
TOM

You shouldn't be running the "preview" anymore. Microsoft released the full 8.1 update last Friday (10/18).
The "preview" is a beta and should NOT be relied on for any further use. Microsoft explained this in their "preview" downloads.
