Password Protection of Movie Clips

We are making instructional movies for students and would like to put all the movies on one dvd. However, we do not want the student to be able to proceed to higher level instruction until they have satisfied the requirements of the current level. Is there a way to password protect each movie on the dvd so that the instructor can give the student the password when they have satisfied to the requirements to proceed to the next level?

I'd think you really need to contact Seagate Tech support for an answer. Briefly looking at their web site (which is horribly outdated - for those drives they only mention G4 and G5 Apple machines), it looks like the security feature does indeed require a BIOS, and is not available with an EFI firmware machine.

Is there a way to password protect a movie?

We have imovie in our school. We were looking to password protect our movies so other students could'nt tamper with them. Is this possible? If so how?

Have the students create a Sparse Disk Image, This also prevents fragmentation of the project across your disk. Set the target size at about what your intended goals are. Here I show Custom 20 GB.
Disk Utility>New Image>set the dialouge boxes as shown.

Sorry the format should have been Sparce Disk Image and not read/write disk image on the botton drop down list. A read/write will always remain the size you select in custom.
After the steps shown you will be required to type in a password and verify it. Before each use they would have to mount the disk image with thier password and when the movies is complete it will only take up the actual space used.
With MPEG-4 you can also protect your completed movies in various ways to be able to share it over the internet, DVD and prevent the content from being saved, copied or even viewed elsewhere as well. Some tools are available and it is my understanding that you can "create" your own. Contact Apple directly and they may be able to direct you to some educational resources for MPEG-4 IPMP-X or DRM software.

Password protect individual movies to prevent viewing?

Hello.
I am wondering if there is a way to password protect individual files on the iphone either before or after they sync from iTunes to the phone itself. The reason I ask is that my daughter occasionally watches films on my iPhone and I would like to have her be able to access the Disney movies, but not something that was R-rated. Can this be done? If so, how?
I know you can put a security code on the entire phone, but wasn't sure if you could do it with certain files. Basically, I want to implement some sort of parental controls.
Thanks for the advice.

No. It cannot be done.

Sorry. The iPhone does not offer parental controls.

Password protect Photos & Movies

Can anyone tell me of away to password protect certain folders in photos and movies. I would like to keep certain photo's and movies private. I have searched the App store and there appear to be several Apps that protect files, but none that protect photo's and/or movie files. Thanks for your input.

There is no way to do this. You can apply a passcode lock to the iPhone, but there's no way to restrict access to individual pics/movies (the only exception is songs/movies +purchased in iTunes+ with an Explicit tag, which can be blocked using Restrictions on the iPhone).

Is it possible to password protect Movies in the new Web Gallery?

I have loaded several iPhoto albums onto my new Web Gallery - and I can password protect each using a different name and password for various friends and family. This is great as they each then have their own privacy. Some I have left open to view by everyone. BUT, I would like to password protect some movies from iMOvie '08. Can this be done for the movies as per the photo albums - and how? If yes - can it also be done for movies already published or will they have to be re-published?
thanks
Alan

The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors, but you can send the direct link to your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

How do you password protect web gallery

Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors.

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

Share movie from Quicktime X to MobileMe Gallery with password protection?

Is it possible to share a movie using "Share" -> "MobileMe Gallery" with userid/password protection like from iPhoto or iMovie.
I can share it from Quicktime X to MobileMe but the movie is 'public' on my gallery.
Thanks,
Roland

Not with QuickTime X (at this time).
Use iPhoto to make a "private" Gallery page.

IPhone cannot view movies from dotMac site if password protected

I input a movie in a iWeb page, password protect the site, publish it and then try to view the movie with my iPhone. I can get into the page after entering my userid and password, but when I select the movie, I get an error message stating "Error playing movie". Called Apple Tech support they said it's my web service. When I told them the service was dotmac, the first tier tech said, "sorry sir, the personal support tech will not take your call."
Maybe if enough of you guys call they see this as a real problem so the software engineers can resolve it.

All you had to do was to disable directory browsing at the
server for this
account. Then nobody can just "browse" the file content of
any folder. Or,
just place a blank, default named file in the folder and
again, when you try
to browse the folder, you just get a blank page instead. No
need to
password protect anything.

Password Protect Part of a Director Movie

Hi,
I've recently purchased INM Impressario and i've added a bunch of PDFS to my director movie.
I'll be handing this movie out to my students, but i would like only certain students to view certain pdf files.
Is there a way i can either password protect the pdf sprite, or would it be easier to go to another frame on button click, whereby the user has to enter a password, and if the password is correct they will be taken to the frame that contains the pdf file.
appreciate any advice. I have never used Lingo before and this is most likely where it will be heading....
many thanks,
Richard.

1) install the xtra
Make sure that you put the budapi.x32 (or whatever the x32 name is) into your Director xtras folder. That would typically be program files\adobe\adobe director 11\configuration\xtras. Older versions of Director would have similar paths, but with Macromedia instead of Adobe
2) Add the xtra to the movie
Open your file in Director and go to Modify, Movie, Xtras... and Add budapi to your projector
3) Make a button that will bring up the prompt.
Use any text or bitap that you want. Give it this script:
on mouseUp me
     userEntered=baPrompt("","Please enter your password","",2,-1,-1)
     if userEntered="CORRECT PASSWORD HERE" then
          go "correct"
     else
          go "incorrect"
     end if
end
*obviously, change CORRECT PASSWORD HERE to the correct password, and change those two go statements to do whatever you want the program to do if the password is entered correctly or incorrectly.

In Premiere I can edit an avi or mov clip but I can not save the result as a like file. Why not???

Let us start from the beginning.
It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
We will be watching for your follow up with details.
Thank you.

Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

How can I set up SMB file sharing to share my PC external hard drive on my Mac with no password protection?

I am having the worst trouble with two things. I am very aware how to get the server to show up via SMB, but every time I log off the Macbook, the server's disappear. OK, so I went into "System Preferences" and hit "Users and Accounts" and added the server as a log in item. Worked well, except how do I stop that password prompt from coming up? I am using a Guest account with no password but I continue to get the password prompt. There is nowhere to hit remember password or anything. I have the option to remember the password in the keychain but I have no way of preventing the pop up.
Another issue I'm having is I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer connected to my PC through USB. Three other PC's can connect wirelessly to print through the home network. My Mac does not find the printer, and when I manually add it, it recognizes it but WILL NOT print. It comes up with error messages like Authentican Required and connection issues between printers.
I have no password protection on my PC and have enabled sharing of all devices and folders through the Homegroup on the PC. I just can't figure it out. I am new to Mac and would love to get these two things figured out.
Thanks in advance for reading!

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

How can i hide a movie clip?

is it possible for me to hide a movie clip by the press of a button that is on a differant timeline?
here is my code for button.
stop();
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subClick);
failed_txt.background = false;
failed_txt.border = false;
var myName:String;
var myPass:String;
function subClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
myName=name_txt.text;
myPass=pass_txt.text;
if(myName == "gallery" && myPass == "password"){
gotoAndStop("hidden");
} else{
failed_txt.text = "Please enter a valid password.";
Many thanks.
Michael Down

Yes, it should be possible, but you need to provide some explanation of what you want it to do that it doesn't. How are things on different timelines and what symbol is supposed to be getting hidden?

Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

Background -
My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

Advice on animating lots of small movie clips

Hi,
I have a performance problem that may be best demonstrated
with an example.
http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/swf/game1.swf
If you look at the animation and watch it for a while you
will see the
number of balls growing.
Initially the performance is so-so but eventually it becomes
totally
unacceptable. So I was wondering if anyone could impart
advice about any
optimizations.
Every tile is a movie clip and every ball is a movie clip
that tweens from
one tile to the next. I also need to read the frame the clips
are on but
when I bound a class to the balls clip it immediatly ran
unacceptably slow.
I have a plan B which involves creating tile animations of
each of the ball
animations, which I know would create a huge performance gain
but would mean
creating 510 tile animations and thus make the animations
unmaintainable.
TIA
Wil

I created a new tween object just the once for each x and y
as neeed. Would
that make much odds?
Is the other poster kglad correct in saying the number of
visible movie
clips in this instance shouldn't be causing problems?
Cheers
Wil
