Opening video and movie files

When I try to open movie or video files text edit opens instead of a media player. I've looked at QuickTime info and it is supposed to support these kind of files. What am I doing wrong or not doing right?

File types are determined by the file extension (characters in the name that appear after the final dot or period, as in .mov) and by file metadata (informations that is either stored in the file or a desktop database). You can change your preference on which files should be opened by which applications with the following steps:
1.) From the Finder, select any example of the file type in question.
2.) Press command-I (or the menu item File -> Get Info).
3.) Mid-way down the Get Info panel look for the "Open With..." pop-up menu.
4.) From that menu select the application you want to use to open the file type selected in step 1.
5.) Select the Change All... button
6.) Confirm your selection.
That should do it. One warning, however, just make certain that the application you choose can really open the file type you selected in step 1. Otherwise, you may have problems when trying to open the document.

If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
Why not just sync?

Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer

I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?

- There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.
- To sync photos to the iPod see:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
- To sync videos to the iPod see:

JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

Hi,
I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
play any sound.
I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

I discovered the same problem too..
I think it is a general Format problem.
When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
This track was a video track, no audio at all.
Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..

Dragging video and still files into a atom strand template

How do I drag video and still files into an atom strand theme template in Motion 4? I am trying to do it but the opened file keeps snapping back to the file list.

The templates can be challenging to modify.
In that template, it's not the camera that's being animated, it's the group containing the camera. If you select that group, and set the Keyframe Editor to view animated keyframes, you'll see them.
To modify them, it may be easier to show them in the Timeline so that the keyframes at each frame are bundled into one object and therefore easier to move. But if you are new to Motion, you are diving into the deep end of the pool here.

I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime. Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format. Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime or FCP5. Sometimes in QT the audio plays but not the video. Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format. Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

Get ClipWrap2 and convert to an editable format for your version of FCP5.
Probably DVCProHD will work

Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
Thanks

First thing to check would be system requirements,
Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
Remove Quicktime
Open My Computer
Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
Download and install, After install, restart and test.
Hope that works.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Quicktime video for .mov files on Windows 8.1 not working

I am using the latest Quicktime (v7.7.5) on a new install of Windows 8.1 and .mov files will play but only the audio works - there is no video. Clearly There is a video codec missing. Can someone at apple tell me what I need so quicktime (and other applications) can play .mov videos on Windows 8.1?
Thank you!!!

Hey Kirk, thank you for your reply. All my windows media players (Windows, Quicktime, Pinnacle Sudio, etc..all only play the audio and not the video. The quicktime player on Windows recogizes a problem and suggests that I goto this website (www.apple.com/quicktime/rescources/components......) and download missing somftware (but gives no indication of what is missing :-)).
So the Windows Quicktime Player shows that the .mov file is made with the Apple Intermediate Codec, 1308 x 736, Millions 16 bit Integer (little Indidan), Sterdo(LR), 48kHz. I also looked at the inspector in the Mac.
This is clearly the issue. I suppose I can always use my Mac to convert files to something more compatible with windows and then move these files. I just find it hard to believe that Apple does not have a windows 8.x version of this codec.

How to install videos and movies on to i touch

i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.
Russ
