Poster Frame won't work

I set up a poster frame for the video page on my site. I set the page so it does not auto play. But you don't see the poster frame on the site. All you see is black over the movie controller.
Here's the URL.
http://web.me.com/dariasdocumentary/Site/Caesars_Reel.html

FWIW An alternate way to add a movie file to a web page is shown in this demo page. The benefits of this method is that the movie file does not load with the page letting the page load much faster. The movie only loads when the play button is clicked on and then it opens in a separate window sized just for the movie.
ADDEMDUM: I didn't look at your page before posting the above. The method I suggested would only assure a good poster frame on the original page since the movie is the only item on the page. It works most effectively when the movie is on a page with lots of other items and loading time would be a factor.

Poster Frame will not work

After reviewing all of the suggestions here in the forum, I still cannot get Poster Frame to work.
Here is what I have done:
- Published to a Desktop folder and ran the index.html page to see if functionality worked. Did not.
- Trashed iWeb prefs, restarted, the repaired permissions. Still doesn't work.
- Published ALL to Mobile Me. Again won't work.
All I see is the Black frame while the QT file preloads.
Here is a website:

Any ideas?
-Ray

In your topic I said that I had managed to get it to work by doing a "Publish All to MobileMe".
That was true but the movie was on an Albums template.
I tried it every which way just now using a movie page and a blank page and using Publish and Publish All.
I can't get it to work.
I have emailed the iWeb development team about this.

Blog Post Links Won't Work

Greetings!
My blog post links at http://HealthyDayFitness.com/ won't work and I can't figure out how to remedy the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!
I'm publishing to a folder and using FileZilla to upload the site. I simply click and drag all the files within my site folder onto the site. I did not click and drag the folder, because then it gives me the address http://HealthyDayFitness.com/HealthyDayFitness/Welcome.html. Looks messy in my opinion.
I'm a little confused on what you mean by blank spaces on the page name... This is the blog page that works: http://healthydayfitness.com/Blog/Blog.html
If you click on "First Post," that's when things go haywire, but I don't see any blank spaces in that broken URL.
Any other thoughts? If not, I'll give the folder upload a try.

Greyed out Set Poster Frame

I am trying to set poster frames for my videos in my timelines. Unfortunately when I select menu and then Set Poster Frame it is greyed out.
I have tried going to the video in the timeline and makinga marker and then setting that as a Poster Frame but doesnt work?
Thanks
Brightface.

You should have a Marker at the beginning of the Timeline. Click it to activate it, and then you should get Set Poster Frame. Just activate that Marker, and set the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired new location - I do this with first a Left-click, then a Rt-click.
Hope that helps, and good luck,
Hunt

Poster frames not on site

When I go into inspector for a video and select a poster frame, it doesn't seem to show up once the site is published. Any ideas?? Other features like auto play and hide movie controller work. I'm stumped.

It appears that the poster frame option only work with a movie on an Albums page. (See Roddy's post in this topic.
I also cannot get it to work on a regular page. There is an alternative way to add a movie to a page that will let you pick any frame of the movie to display and then open the movie in a separate window sized just for the movie. You can see an example of it on this demo page along with a description of how to make it happen. It may not fit in your scheme of things but take a look anyway.
A second option is described and demonstrated in Section B of this demo page. The how to is in Tutorial #18

Poster Frames in iWeb?

When I set poster frames in iweb or quick time pro or even compressor they do not appear in browser? May be a bug in iWeb. Or yet a long standing problem? Thank you for you help all.
David

Having same problem. Use IWeb 08 Inspector to set poster frame, looks correct in IWeb, “publish all” to MobileMe and poster frame does not work. Purchased quicktime Pro to enable the set poster frame option, but $30.00 later still could not find a way to maintain IPod touch .m4v compatible format. Save would change to .mov format which Touch could not read. New to mac so may be a way to use QuickTime Pro to save .m4v format, but as work around used the following steps in IMovie HD v6 on Ibook:
1) Slide to desired poster frame
2) File/ Save Frame
3) Drag frame to front of timeline
4) Insert Fade In transition between picture frame and movie
5) Drag picture down to 0.01 seconds (which now acts as poster frame)
Can’t load IMovie 08 so not sure if has same Save Frame option, but if not IMovie HD 6 can be downloaded for free if ILife 08 installed.

Won't play multiple videos on one page. Ignores POSTER FRAME.

Three questions really. I have iweb '09, the latest everything, blah blah....
1) I just update my iweb page and it's now showing my URL twice, in the URL--any thoughts.
2) Also, I have three quick-time movies on one page and only the top will play. Why don't the other two play?
3) I've taken "auto play" off and the poster frame I set won't work either. Anyone know why it's ignoring poster frames I set?

Two of your files are .mpg (MPEG-1) and the other is a .mov file but does not display in my browser.
No poster frames for MPEG-1 formats.
http://www.pulseproductions.org/pulseproductions.org/Media/Dance-H.264%20800Kbps .mov is the location of that file but it doesn't work from your server unless manually linked (like I did above).
Your server doesn't like "spaces" in your file names. Try renaming your files to remove them.

Poster Frame and Trim Mode not working properly with post-synced clips

Hi Everyone-
Final Cut Pro seems to be doing something really odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if so what is the fix:
We are shooting a movie on Red with sound coming in on multitrack wav files. We downconvert the R3D files to Prores and then manually sync the tracks in the timeline.
We link the pix and sound and drag them to the bin to make our dailies. They all play, in sync. When we try to set a poster frame the issues begin. If I load the clip into the browser park the playhead on a frame and choose poster frame, the actual frame in the bin is very noticably offset (often by a few seconds).
Also, when I use the trim mode, the frames jump to a different part of the shot during trim. It's like the shot is jumping ahead or back while I hit the frame advance or recede buttons. Once I let go of the button the image jumps to the correct number of frames. But, it's very distracting if I am trying to trim, for example, to just before an actor blinks. I can't trim 1 frame at a time. I have to keep hitting the button, watching the picture jump to a different part of the shot, release the trim button and watch the picture jump back to the now correctly trimmed frame...
As a test I took some of the Prores clips with scratch track sound and brought them into the bin directly from the finder, bypassing the syncing. Using those clips, the trim and poster frames work as expected. Obviously something is going on during syncing.
I assumed maybe because the audio and pix we different lengths the clip was getting "confused", and didn't know where to "start". So, in the timeline with the synced clips, I razor bladed a few shots, linked them, and dragged them to the bin so the audio and video were the exact same length... Same issue.
I have noticed the same behavior on 2 separate Macs so I don't think its a preference or corrupted install issue.
Anyone seen this and have any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.

Set Poster Frame not working

I can't set poster frames in bin icon view using command-P, nothing sticks... anyone else experiencing this? PPro CC 7.2.1 & OS X 10.9.1

I'm not clear on how Poster Frames are supposed to work here. The image you see for the clip in icon mode is the frame the clip's playhead is on. It's the first frame by default, but when you play through a clip in the bin, which you'd need to do to choose a Poster Frame, it stays on that frame anyway until you move the clips playhead. So...you end up with the same result.
But even if a Poster Frame could be set, does that mean you can no longer play through the clip in the bin because it's always showing that Poster Frame? I don't understand the purpose of that. And if you can still play the clip in the bin, then what use a Poster Frame if it doesn't always show that?
I'm missing something.

I have recently updated my Apple TV (gen 2) and now Airplay video won't work. I can hear the audio, but no video. I have unplugged, replugged, restarted. Help! This problem is all post-upgrade.

First time using this site; not sure if I'm doing it right.
My apple tv which has always worked beautifully is not picking up airplay from my ipad. It is picking up the audio, and it will certainly do that "mirroring" thing where you watch a grainy computer screen on your tv, but it won't work the way it used to. Any help? I have plugged and unplugged, reset and restarted everthing to no avail. Icons are available, I see the apple tv option on all devices but it just won't do it's thing. Help!
Thanks, everyone, in advance.
Sitz.

Hi, sitzmark128.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of your your wireless network can resolve some AirPlay issues. I would also recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
If the issue persists after processing these steps, see the article below.

Poster frame working for anyone?

On 10.6.7
iWeb 3.0.3 (501)
Setting a poster frame for a QT inside of iWeb doesn't seem to take.
One used to be able to set that frame in QTPro 7 but I am now on QT 10 and a lot of the functionality of QTPro has been removed. (sigh)
Any suggestions?
D.

You don't need to install Quicktime 7 just the Quicktime Player 7.6.6. Here's where you get it: QuickTime Player 7.6.6 for Mac OS X v10.6.3.

Itunes 12.0.1.26 poster frame not working

I have ripped a large number of children's TV episodes from a single TV series into iTunes. Top enable my child to choose her programme, I'd like to set a poster frame for each episode. The 'Set Poster Frame' from right-click menu is ineffective. I have found that if I 'Set Poster Frame' from right-click menu, then immediately set 'Rating' from right-click menu then the poster frame is changed - but - as soon as I watch an episode on AppleTV the frame is reset to the default.
How can I set and keep the poster frame?
Itunes 12.0.1.26
Mac Mini Late 2012
AppleTV 2

I have an identical device setup and had the same issue with handbrake 0.10 - poster frames weren't staying set. I didn't use to have this issue, so I did some research. I don't know if this is the root issue or a coincidence but Quicktime's Movie Inspector shows that movies recording in handbrake 0.9.9 use the video format "JVT/AVC Coding", whereas 0.10 videos are in vanilla H.264. Everything else is apparently the same. I don't know what the real difference is between those formats, but once I reverted to handbrake 0.9.9 the movies are behaving as expected. I can now set poster frames (without having to also set a rating in the thumbnail window above the movie while it is playing) and when the movies are sync'ed to iPad or watched on AppleTV they show up as expected.
TL;DR - revert to Handbrake 0.9.9

Is there a way to browse all "poster frames"/"album artwork" for TV Shows?

Here's the scenario...
I have a LOT of old cartoon shows in my iTunes collection, and I have them tagged and sorted as "TV Shows". Unfortunately, when browsing the collection using "Album View", iTunes only shows me ONE poster frame for the entire season.
This might be fine for some people, but not for me with regards to my collection of old cartoons, because I want each individual show to have its own poster frame that shows the title of that particular episode.
Yes, I know I can do that by playing the clip, stopping at it the title frame, right-clicking and selecting "Set Poster Frame".
That's not the issue though. The issue is that I (currently) have more than 2,000 shows in my collection and it understandably takes a long time to manually set the poster-frames for all of them. So I do a whole bunch every so often when I have the time to do so, and then wait a long time before I get round to doing some more.
Getting on to what the actual issue is though, it's that when using the "Album View" I cannot see the individual per-episode poster-frames of all my separate shows, and so I cannot see what I have artworked so far and what I have not.
So what I'm asking really is, does anyone know of any alternative ways (3rd-party apps) to at least VIEW (in some kind of "browse" mode), if not edit, individual TV Shows poster frames?
By the way, I know that converting the TV Shows to Movies will show me individual poster-frames, but that will kill all the hard work I've put into tagging the shows names, episodes, seasons, etc.
If I'm not making sense here, ask me for clarification on anything.
I'm using the latest versions of iTunes, and the Mac OS, on Intel, etc.

You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

Can't Set Poster Frame - or - Add Artwork on 3 MP4 Movies

Hi all,
Itunes 7.2 with a DVD library of MP4 files specifically ripped for Apple TV.
Out of 47 movies, three will not allow me to add artwork. In fact, If I attempt to add artwork, the movie file becomes corrupted with only a white screen showing for the entire movie. Once I replace the move (I have backups) all is fine.
If I attempt to set poster frame - nothing happens at all.
Two Piglet Movies and Peter Pan.
All other, including many other kids movies are perfect.
Big bug here?
Thanks,
Stu

Same exact thing happens for me. Once the screen and thumbnail go white there is no fixing it iTunes 7.2 and 7.3 and 7.3.1 no difference for me. Some movies I can some I can't.
I am Using HandBrake to rip with Buit in settings for Apple TV to rip DVD'S
Sometimes it won't go white but won't change either the artwork from the original rip just stayes and nothing changes or sometimes iTunes just freezes and doesn't respond. I then have to force quit iTunes just for it to not remember any changes that I made that did work...
