Nobody can open my quicktime movies sent as attachment....

It's a basic thing. I've tried many. Nothing works. What's the easyest way to export them so people can open it? 'Via quick time conversion' and then...
What am I doing wrong????

You'll need to export as an mpeg-4 video or H.264
export > using QuickTime conversion > options > settings > Compression Type > mpeg-4 video or H.264 > OK > OK > give it a name and save location > save.
Another thing one could do, after you have done the above is up-load to something like Google video. your video can set set as private and, then you can just email the link directly to the video. makes for faster emailing of video files.

  • Nobody can watch my quicktime movie in iweb!!

    I made two movies in iMovie and imported them directly into iWeb. I can watch them on my website and so can the apple tech people, but most importantly my professor cannot! I am the only one using a mac for this class - does anyone know if this could be a glitch between PC/mac? Or has anyone else had this kind of trouble with Quicktime 7.0.4???
    I'm frantic cuz it's for my final that was due on Friday!!!! TIA
    Vicki

    It could be that you are using the latest and greatest video codec called H.264 to encode your movies and your professor's PC doesn't have the latest version of QuickTime 7 to be able to decode the movie. This usually results in a blank white movie frame with audio.
    Two choices depending on which might be easier given your individual situation... Get your prof to upgrade his QuickTime player to the latest from Apple... or ... reencode your movie with anything other than H.264 if you know how to do that. Good luck!

  • How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

    How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

    Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
    <pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
    1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
    2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
    3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
    4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
    You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
    If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

  • Open a Quicktime Movie in FCE

    I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie created in FCPro so I can edit it in FCE. It's an XDCam EX 720p10 codec. Should I be able to open this?
    Thanks!

    From FCP or Compressor you can convert it to 720p30 (I don't know 720p10 is) using the Apple Intermediate Codec. That will be editable in FCE.

  • Can't view quicktime movies in email anymore?

    Before the 2.0 updates, I could easily view quicktime movies sent to me via email. Ever since the 2.0 update, it says it's not able to play the movie. Why is this? And what do I need to do to fix it?
    Thank you.

    Thank you Quicktime Kirk, That worked. I just have one other question. I dragged the plugin to my desktop as you directed, but should I now toss it? or, uh, what?
    Thank you again,

  • Premiere CS4 - How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?

    Premiere CS4
    How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?
    Please reply in plain English or if possible in German
    Greetings from Vienna, Peter

    I have not installed Quicktime.
    I got a few scenes (.mov) from a Canon Eos 70d.
    I want to create a short film (in Premiere CS4) with these scenes, mixed with photos and MP3 music.

  • How do I get Javascript or HTML to open a QuickTime movie as a slideshow?

    I have turned a 320x240 pixel photo sequence into a QuickTime movie using the "File > Open Image Sequence ..." option. However, that required I specify an equal amount of time to display each photo.
    Using the following JavaScript, I can, from within a webpage, play that QuickTime movie as a movie in another window by simply clicking on the link to it in the webpage:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- hide this script from old browsers
    // This script opens a new browser window and writes
    // HTML to play an video with a title and caption
    function show_movie( pFileName, pTitle, pCaption, pEnd) {
    // specify window parameters
    movieWin = window.open( "", "", "width=370,height=400,status,scrollbars,resizable");
    // wrote content to window
    movieWin.document.write('<html><head><title>' + pTitle + '</title></head>');
    movieWin.document.write('<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=#FFFFCC LINK=#33CCFF VLINK=#FF6666>');
    movieWin.document.write('<center>');
    movieWin.document.write('<font size="+1" face="arial,helvetica"><b>' + pCaption + '</b></font><br>');
    movieWin.document.write('<object width="320" height="256">');
    movieWin.document.write('<embed src="' + pFileName + '" width="320" height="256" autostart="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed></object><p>');
    movieWin.document.write('<font face="arial,helvetica">');
    movieWin.document.write('' + pEnd + '<br>');
    movieWin.document.write('<p></font></body></html>');
    movieWin.document.write('<form>');
    movieWin.document.write('<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();" name="button">');
    movieWin.document.write('</form>');
    movieWin.document.close();
    // If we are on NetScape, we can bring the window to the front
    if (navigator.appName.substring(0,8) == "Netscape") movieWin.focus();
    // done hiding from old browsers -->
    </SCRIPT>
    But some photos need to be displayed for a longer time than others.
    QuickTime 7.1.2 "View > Present Movie > Slideshow > Play" will play the movie as a slideshow -- the person looking at it has full control over how much time a photo is displayed before going to the next one.
    My JavaScript allows the user to pause the movie and continue it at will, but if I can modify it to play the movie directly as a slideshow like QuickTime 7.1.2, please let me know how.
    Thank you.

    The free MPEG Streamclip and the free component from http://perian.org can convert your AVI to a format understood by iMovie.

  • Can't import Quicktime .mov into iMovie 10

    Is it possible to import a Quicktime movie into iMovie 10?  I used to be able to do this with iMovie 9 but cannot get it to work with 10.  I can drag it into an event but no clips show up.   I can't believe that Apple would require a 3rd party product to get this to work. 
    As a separate rant, you used to be able to edit clips directly in Quicktime but Apple removed this functionality a while back; ie. deleting parts of clips rather than just trimming from the ends.  It is getting tougher and tougher to do basic editing even if you stay within the Apple ecosystem...

    .mov can contain a variety of different movie formats not all of which are importable into iMovie 10.  Try playing it in Quicktime player 10 - does it say it has to convert?   If it converts it, the resultant file should import into iMovie 10 OK.  see: OS X Mavericks: Some files may be converted when opened in QuickTime Player - Apple Support
    In Quicktime 10 the way to do this is to split a movie into clips and trim each clip as required.  These can then be imported into iMovie and joined as part of a project.  See:  QuickTime Player 10.x: Rearrange your movie’s content
    Quicktime 7 Pro (which does allow removing 'middle' parts of a movie) still works in Yosemite

  • Can't view Quicktime Movies on the web

    this is what im trying to view
    http://www.solent.ac.uk/360/hamwic_bedroom.html
    it worked a while back but not now, now i get the light blue logo with the question mark
    cant change file types in preferences they are not greyed out they dont even show as a list, it says programatically set
    i found qtp whatever it was in regedit changed everything to full control
    moved quicktime .xml file onto desktop from apple computer folder
    uninstalled and installed quicktime a few times
    tried with ie8 google chrome and cometbird
    no luck
    quicktime is terrible, i dont know why so many things on the web need it to play, they may as well ask notepad to open the files.
    cheers

    I'm having the exact same problem... Don't know when but IE and Firefox are refusing to play quicktime files. I can run the quicktime player and play MP3 and MOV files (which is what I normally do) but nothing is playing from the browser.
    I've tried pretty much everything I can think of... in the end, QuickTime is not showing up under Set Default Programs or Set Program Associations (via QuickTime Preferences->Browser->MIME Settings or File Types).
    I can install QT-Lite, and everything works for the browser... except now I don't have a standalone player that plays MP3 and MOV files because I cannot have QT-Lite installed alongside QuickTime.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Can't export QuickTime movie correctly! (Only Sound exports!)

    (This is my first post xD)
    Hey guys, so I made an aanimation in flash CS5 and I tried to export it into a Quicktime Movie. But somehow only the music that I importet into the Animation exported so there's no picture when I open the file.
    Any Idea what I could do?

    Any number of things could be wrong. Only the content that is on the timeline will be exported to the video. You can only use a limited range of Actionscript in the timeline. Can you give any more specifics about your file?

  • Quicktime .mov, sent it to a PC user.

    I created a Quicktime .mov and sent it to a PC user. He says it does not open, but message pops up "Welcome the Windows Media Player".  Why?    What does he do now? Why doesn't it say open with Quicktime or you need Quicktime player?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. As far as I know this person has Quicktime of PC, since I have sent Homemade videos to him and several others in the past with no problem. Actually, I have sent this video to numerous people with PC and Macs. Macs no problem. So far, PC users are a mix of plays and no play. I am trying to verify why many people have not responded with any comment also. Something is not right.

  • How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

    Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

    I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
    Apple describes ProRes here:
    About Apple ProRes
    And in that document says:
       "while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
    I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import,  the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

  • Can't See QuickTime Movies

    On a website I created with Dream Weaver, I can't see the Quicktime movies with Safari, although I can see them with the AOL browser and Firefox. The audio component is fine.
    If I fiddle around with the refresh buttons and the site navigation buttons, I can usually get it work, but not always.
    HELP!

    Your page code only uses the ancient "embed" tag code and you're file will not display on a Windows machine.
    http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
    That newer page code uses javascript and page code that can be understood by any modern browser and OS.
    Sorry I was late in replying. Work.

  • I can't import Quicktime movies into FCE 4?

    Hi, I'm trying to import an eight second Quicktime movie (that I made in the new Motion 5) into Final Cut Express 4. When I try to import it, a message pops up saying "Error: Unknown File." Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

    FCE works with two types of QuickTime codecs: DV and AIC.  When you exported the file from Motion 5, which of those two did you use?
