Poor resolution for Keynote .mov file

Hello,
Just getting started with Keynote. I'm putting together courseware and will be using Keynote to support the presentation. I have several .mov clips I need to integrate into the presentation. I embedded a .mov file into a Keynote slide and then saved and exported the Keynote file by SHARE > EXPORT > Formats: Web Movie, Small.
While I'm getting the media to work, the resolution of the Keynote .mov file is very grainy.
Are there some settings to be aware of to get a clear resolution with a Keynote .mov file?
Thanks for sharing your insights.
Ramone

You've probably picked the lowest settings and therefor the lowest resolution!
If you go to the export menu and chose a higher setting or even tinker the custom settings to get the balance of file size / quality you want.
It may also be worth making the slide size smaller (in the inspector)so when you export it's not being downsized in the same way if you need a smaller video (height, width, not file size)

I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

Hi
Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
• Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
• Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
• Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
• Then iPhoto should start up OK
• Now Quit iPhoto
• START iMovie
Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

Tag program for video/movie files?

Hey, gang, I'm looking for a program I can use to mass edit the tags for my movie files so I can easily move all of them into a TV show. iTunes allows me to do this one at a time, but this is extremely tedious -- what I need to be able to do is select 20 or 30 "movies", mark them as TV shows and enter the show name for them all just as if I were doing this for a series of songs in an album.
In the old days I used to use Dr. Tag (and I think a program called Tag and Rename) to help manage my audio files, but I have no idea where to turn to for this kind of video file management, if there is even such a beast. A Google of the web didn't reveal anything useful but if anyone knows I figured you experts here would.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I wrote a program to mass change the video type of selected tracks.
Go to my home page:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
and click the Download button.
Unzip to a folder and run "teridonsitunesscripts.exe". A new window will appear.
Switch to iTunes and select the movies you want to change. Switch back to "Teridon's iTunes Scripts" window and select the last one -- "itunes_vidkind", then click "Run Selected Script". It'll ask you what video type you want to change them to (Movie, MusicVideo, or TVShow).
Repeat the process (select tracks, run itunes_vidkind) as needed.
If my program helps you, please consider a Paypal donation via the link in the program window, or via the link at my home page.

Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Alfred

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
@="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]

How do I find the codec used for a .mov file?

I have a .mov file from 2001 that I can't play. How do I find the correct codec to use for this. Is there somewhere in the file itself some kind of reference to the codec used? I've installed pretty much everything I could find in terms of codecs. I don't care whether on mac or windows. Just need the right codec.

Can I repair an OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac MOV file that was corrupted by a crash?

Hi,
I have a 16Gb MOV file from OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac that has been corrupted. The program froze and then crashed mid record and the file is now unusable. Is there any way that the file can be repaired or the video footage recovered?
Thanks,
Larry

I believe it's a DV file in a MOV container but I'm not certain since OnLocation for Mac gives no options for configuring the codec etc.
Looking at posts about the windows version in seems that it uses a dummy header and replaces it with the real thing when you stop the recording. I was wondering if the Mac version does something similar and if it does an the header from a working file be transplanted across somehow.
Thanks,

Using an External HD with USB 1.1 for Media (Movie files) storage?

Many thanks for your attention.
For a Media Storage (mostly movies) HD, I ordered a Maxtor OneTouch II with Firewire and the company mistakenly sent me one with USB 1.1 instead.
I remember reading that for Media Storage, only the Firwire connection will work (for Macs). Or that there are a lot of problems with USB.
Before sending this HD back to company, just checking to see if this is so.
Also (when I get the correct Drive), I've heard that in order to store a Movie File, (a movie on Final Cut Pro or iMovie, etc.), the External Hard Drive MUST be formatted as a "Mac Extended (Journaled)" Hard Drive.
Posting here for people's thoughts, opinions (hopefully not contradictory).
- Ross

Send it back.
Even USB 2.0 isn't good for media. Fast transfer rate, but not a sustained one.
USB 1 won't work AT ALL.
RETURN!

No thumbnails for some .mov files Bridge CS5

I'm using Bridge CS5 to organise some video which has been digitised from a sony camera in File Maker Pro X. My operating system is Mac OS X. I have Quicktime player 10.1 and have just checked for updates.
Some of my .mov files show thumbnails which can be watched in Bridge. Other folders just show the thumbnails as black rectangles - these can be watched in a pop up window but not directly in the Bridge preview panel.
The files were all digitised in the same way and recorded on the same camera so should be the same format.
After looking at discussions on here I have tried updating QuickTime and clearing the cache but no dice.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Claire

That is odd that if it was recorded on same camera they are different. I do know that the thumbnail is a complex issue. A little foggy on this as it has been awhile, but if you get a black thumb it is the way the marker of the first frame is recorded. In some cases this shows a black frame. Hope this gives you some clue to do a web search for the real answer.

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

Working on a script to search for and move files - need Guru help!

Hi, I'm trying to help my dad with a task and my outdated Applescript knowledge isn't helping me much.
Here's what I need to do in a nutshell:
FolderA contains a bunch of JPG files.
FolderB is the root of a hierarchy of folders containing DNG files.
Each file of FolderA has a mating file (same name but with .DNG) somewhere in the hierarchy of FolderB.
The goal is to move each JPG file from Folder A to the folder containing it's mate.
So, the basic flow is:
1. Get list of files in folderA
2. Looping through list, strip out file name (fileA) and find the DNG file somewhere inside FolderB
3. Get the path of the folder containing the matching DNG file
4. Copy/move FileA to the folder.
5. Loop back to #2
OK, so here's where I am:
tell application "Finder"
set JPEGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
set a_list to every file in Afolder
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in a_list
-- Everything happens within this loop
set a_file to (item i of a_list)
set fileInfo to info for a_file
set theName to displayed name of fileInfo as string
-- now theName contains the actual file name minus the extension
At this point I don't know how to search for the mating file using Applescript. If I was in UNIX I could do a "find . -name filename" and parse out the path, but I don't know how this works in Applescript.
I think I can figure out how to move the file once I have the path, but the search routine has me stumped for now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

In my opinion your best bet is to take a 180° turn and simplify things significantly.
Your current approach involves multiple file searches - for each file in the JPEG folder, search all the DNG folders looking for a match. That's an large number of searches, and a large number of something that AppleScript isn't great at.
Instead you'd be far better off walking once through the DNG folders. For each DNG file look for a matching JPG file in the one folder that contains JPEGs. This would be exponentially faster - one walk through the filesystem vs. one walk through the filesystem for every JPEG.
This should give you an idea of what I'm talking about (untested):
global JPEGfolder
on run
set JPEGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
processAFolder(DNGfolder)
end run
on processAFolder(theFolder)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with eachItem in folder theFolder
if class of eachItem is file and name extension of eachItem is "dng" then
set basename to characters 1 through -5 of (get name of eachItem)
try
move file (basename & ".jpg") of folder JPEGfolder to folder theFolder
end try
else if class of eachItem is folder then
my processAFolder(eachItem)
end if
end repeat
end tell
end processAFolder
The idea here is that you start off in the top folder and iterate through each item. If the item is a file and it's name extension is DNG then try to move a corresponding file from the JPEG folder to the current folder. This is wrapped in a try block so the script doesn't fail if there is no corresponding JPG.
If the current item is a folder then the script descends into that folder by calling itself.

Move file or mark for system move file - How?

Hello,
I finally bought Lightroom. Searching these posts I saw someone commenting about why a person would want to use LR to move a file. Seriously? Because I Want it to be a full on DAM solution. And the first mess I must de-tangle involves some years of very bad habits, both in iphoto and in my own head.
Therefore, there is something that I don't think Lightroom can do yet but I would love to be found wrong. I don't think LR is much help in marking for the system to find later out side of LR, and then moving the files, right, wrong?
I don't care if it marks the file in a way that the system can later find it and move it, or, if LR moves a selected file set already in LR. Either way what I am trying to do is organize correctly and that must mean moving found sets of files to where they belong.
It seems like overkill to purchase iView just for this one task. Qpict is a lot cheaper than iView ($35 vs $199) and can move files around. I was just wondering though why LR cant yet do this? OR, am I wrong? Does anyone but me think this is important? Any others requesting this (LR is missing applescript support on the Mac side as well)
Thanks
David

levelbest,
If I understand your question, you've got many images in iPhoto that you want to reorganize and import into Lr. Is that the issue?
If so, there are various ways to tackle it. One easy way is to create the new folders as you go.
On your Desktop, make a new folder (Shift-Cmd-N). Name it "For Lr Import."
Now open iPhoto. Scroll back to your first image in iPhoto. Let's say it's from the year 2000. Select that first image plus the photos you want to group with it. Maybe they are all shots of Niagara Falls. Export only those photos (full-size) to that Desktop folder you just made: "For Lr Import."
Now switch to Lightroom. Go to File: Import Photos (or Shift-Cmd-I). In the window that opens, navigate to Desktop>For Lr Import. Select all the photos in that folder (click on the the first and then Cmd-A), and click Choose.
That window will close and the Lr Import dialog will open. Your choices here will depend on what kind of files you're working with - jpeg or raw, and what you want to do with them. The options are easy to figure out. This method works faster if you choose a "move" option rather than a "copy" option because it will move the images out of the desktop folder and into whatever folder you create for them. "Copy" leaves them sitting in that Desktop folder, and you've gotta clear 'em out manually before the next export/import -- an extra step each time.
So here's one way to go (in the Lr Import dialog):
Under File Handling, select "Move Photos to a new location and import."
Under Move To, navigate to Pictures. Create a new folder. Name it Photos 2000. Inside that folder, create another new folder. Name it Niagara Falls.
Under Organize, select By Date and pick a date format.
Don't miss taking advantage of the backup option. Check the "Backup To" box and create a similar hierarchy on a different drive. You could call the top-level folder Photo Originals.
Now you've created a hierarchy you can continue using with each export from iPhoto. Just keep adding folders to Photos 2000 until you exhaust that year. Then create Photos 2001 the same way. All your photos will eventually be organized by year>topic>date (or however you set up the hierarchy).
If you are converting raw to dng during import, the process is the same. You can use the backup function to preserve your raw files.
Good luck,
Jack

Creating thubnails for Quicktime .mov files.

Is there any way to create thumbnails for .mov files?

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

Compressor workflow for large mov file

I have a 32 GB mov file. Which setting and workflow can I use to put this to a DVD?

Import the file into Compressor, choose the DVD preset that best suits the length of your project (<90 minutes, <120 minutes). The file size is not relevant in creating a standard DVD, program length is. Compressor will make it fit - as long as the program length is less than 120 minutes.
Using Compressor will result in two files, an audio file and a video file. Import those two files into DVD Studio Pro as assets, and in DVDSP you can add menus, etc. You do the disc burn from inside DVDSP.
Other options - use iDVD or Roxio Toast to encode and burn the DVD.
