OK, so what's with viewing video clips on iPad?

So we got this iPad 2 already a while ago, and watching video clips has been always a challenge... YouTube has been working fine, Netflix movies -- perfect, but when going to different news or sports sites, even using those sites' apps — video clips mostly don't work, many times presenting the QuickTime icon on the screen (sometimes with audio, no video)...
I know there's been an everlasting issue with Flash Player and iPad, but isn't it time to find a workaround? Am I missing something?
...Thanks...

I was more thinking of some plug-in that allows Flash Player to work on the iPad... A browser, like Chrome or Safari means we can't use the apps that the media outlets have, and where we want to watch video clips...
As to your 2nd claim, I don't get it, I don't get Adobe's logic...

Help viewing video clips in iphoto 08.

I recently downloaded both photos and video clips taken from my iphone 5 and downloaded to my mac OSX 10.6.8 computer (as I have many times before.) I quickly discovered that I can no longer view video clips in the iphoto 08 program as I have always been able to do. Why? Typically, I would double click on video clip and it would play in iphoto.

I can commiserate about the bad disk drive, because I went through that.
The latest version of iMovie is 9.01 (also known as iMovie 11).
About your movies in iPhoto...did iMovie see them before? Were you on iMovie 11 before?
Will they play in iPhoto? If they will play in iPhoto, chances are you can import them into iMovie. Note where they are in iPhoto by using right-click (or control-click)/Reveal in Finder.
In iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT FROM.../ to find that file and import it.
If your laptop is less than three months old, it may have come with iMovie 11. If it is older, it probably had iMovie 09. iMovie 11 came out in late October.
If you were on iMovie 11 before, then reinstalling iMovie should make iPhoto movies visible again, assuming they were not corrupted in some way. When you convert to iMovie 11 it upgrades the thumbnail files (but not the video clips) in such a way that is not backward compatible.

How to view video clips on FaceBook?

FaceBook tells me I must download Flash Player to view video clips. Is Flash Player safe on a Mac?
I have researched this question in these Apple Support forums. I have searched the App Store and the Web. I found some good reports, some dire warnings about installing non-Apple apps, but nothing conclusive.
Please advise.

Adobe Flash Player Software is actually a plug-in and not an actual "player" or "application." With this plug-in you will be able to view flash videos on Quicktime (with help from Perian) and VLC. I believe Flip4Mac also.
After the installation, make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer prior to usage.

Video halts when viewing video clips

Hello,
When viewing video clips, the video will halt, message says "buffering", then plays, then halts, "buffering" message again.. etc. It does continue to play (doesn't crash or anything like that) and does complete the video. I'd appreciate any advice or help...

You got it right. I'm telling you to live with it. This problem has no consequence with Lenovo or Microsoft. It's just problem of your bandwidth or video-server bandwidth. Saying "something else" I meant "something else". Which word is new for you? It doesn't matter whether something downloaded by you or downloaded automatically - it maters if ANYTHING (this word means "anything") is being downloaded (this one means "download from the Internet") at the very same time you're going to see your video online. It (something that is being downloaded) eats up your bandwidth and your favourite video is just caching slowly. If the problem occurs when you apparently do nothing with Internet but only watch video and it still caches for long , the problem is on server side and you can do nothing (exept calling them to server and yellign at them or biting them by phone).
With best regards, Sergej.
You're welcome.
Be happy.
P.S. Of cource there's a setting you can adjust! Call your provider and adjust setting "speed".

I cannot view video clips in iphoto. quicktime used to open automatically but no longer

I cannot view video clips I created and syncd from my iphone into iphoto. Quicktime used to open automatically. Now it wont for some reason.

If you have iPhoto 8 and Lion then download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. That should let you view clips in the iPhoto library.

Why can,t I view video clips on web page? Why do I have to download them?

Every since I downloaded Firefox, I cannot view video clips on a webpage, they have to be downloaded to Firefox downloads and then viewed on Real player. This is very inconvenient. How do I go back to the way it used to be prior to downloading Firefox?

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Sync video clip to iPad

Trying to sync a video clip to iPad 4 using iTunes. All software up to date. Clip originally in .mts form, but I have converted to .mov, .mp4 and .m4v files. None will sync, even though files clearly shown in number count of files included in sync. File is in a folder on desktop with photos, all of which do sync.

If it's one of the supported video formats
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
Then
- drag it into your library on iTunes
- connect your iPad and select it
- Click the "Videos" tab
- Enable "sync Movies" and either automatically include all or select this video.
- Click "apply"
If it's not a supported format (either it won't drag in at all, or it will fail when you try to sync it),
then you will need to convert it. I use Handbrake:

Note, under iTunes 11, a lot of videos now show up onder "Home Movies" rather than "Movies".

Load home video clips to ipad

Hi please advise as to how to load home video clips to ipad.I have a sony hrddisk camcorder.
Thanks

Thanks.. I was able to drag a clip from my iphoto onto my movie page in itunes. Then I selected it when I connected my ipad but it didn't sync. The other issue is with the keynote. When in keynote on the ipad the only choice is iphoto to get images. The video clip needs to be in iphoto, doesn't it in order for me to put it on a slide?

Since upgrading to FF Ver. 24, I can no longer view videos/clips from fox News. What add-on do I need? Everything else seems to be working OK.

Since upgrading to ver. 24, I can no longer view the video clips from Fox News. the clip comes up but will not play. I don't have a problem using IE. I seldom use IE and FF is my main browser. What add-on or control do I need to rectify this situation? My e-mail is [email protected]
''(email obfuscated - please be cautious with posting your email address - c)''

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Safari crashing viewing video clips with realPlayer plugin

I tried to watch video clips on the www.cbsnews.com site. The first time I selected a video I was asked whether I wanted to use Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. I chose RealPlayer. Now every time I try to play a video from this site Safari crashes.
Does anyone know how to deselect RealPlayer as the plugin for this site? Where is this information (choice of plugin) being stored?
thanks

iBod,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Two comments.
1) it is really difficult to paw through the huge number of cookies without a search function. I finally found and killed the cbsnews cookies and the Safari problem went away.
2) I have not had any success with Mozilla Firefox, however. I have deleted all cookies, but it seems to have RealPlayer hardwiredas its video viewer. Do you know how I can change that?

Safari: How view video clips without Adobe Flash Player?

In OS 10.7.2 and with Safari 5.1.2 or Firefox 8.x how does one view video without installing Adobe Flash Player? On such websites as that of the New York Tines, I get a "Your System Status" dialogue box that says: "We're sorry! You need to update your Flash Player." A link appears in the dialogue box to "Get Adobe Flash Player." What options does one have?
Thanks for considering my question.
Respectfully, NormN

Macs now do not ship with Adobe Flash installed. Did you buy your Mac with Lion or is your Mac the previous generation? You have to do the installation yourself. Click Get Adobe flash player.

Need help with non-video clip transitions on the FCP timeline...

Hi all, I am struggling with this problem with the FCP timeline: I have a mix of things; .motn includes, .psd includes, etc. and I want to put a transition between them and a normal video clip, BUT, as u can guess, it does not work well. I guess because FCP can't see the frames inside the Motion file, it won't let u do a cross fade or whatever with any amount of time applied to it. So what to do?
I started to modify the motion files but realized this would not work, as I often use bits of one motion animation in various places starting and ending at different timecodes. So i need to be able to place a transition at the beg/end of motion clip on the fcp timeline. I started doing this:
1) place a slug above the track of a joining of motion/video clip
2) place the transitions on both ends of the slug.
Is this the way to go? I have dozens of these that I need to fix asap, so all advice is appreciated!
coocoo

Hi Cooco,
there are several ways to find out whether it is a [*matter of handles*|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html]
One is to select the clip>hit the S key (slip tool) clickandhold it . A brown line drawing a rectangle will appear and will continue beyond in and out point revealing the available clip's handles. If not handles are available then the brown line will stay within the clip on the timeline.
Visit the link I sent to you to more understand handle matters.
