Problem pausing embedded vid in quicktime export

Dear community,
I'm experiencing an issue when exporting a Keynote presentation to a Quicktime movie: slide number 2 contains an embedded video, which automatically starts playing when the viewer gets to slide number 2. However, I can't find any way to let the viewer skip to slide number 3, before the video ends.
I've tried adding hyperlinks, manual control, full screen transparant buttons, build in and out effects that should stop the movie on click, etc. but nothing seems to work. The only option seems to let the viewer go through the entire movie, once finished all buttons and controls start working again.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows a solution / work around?
Thanks and regards,
Tim Metz

sorry, just noticed I omited some information:
The movie has to be be stopped to allow the hyperlink to work:
right click the QT window > select Stop Movie then click on the hyperlink set to slide 2

Problem with embedded captions in quicktime export

Hi,
I'm trying to add embedded closed captions to a video. I just installed the latest version of Premiere Pro yesterday on my Mac. Should be simple, but alas!
I have this 3 minute video file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5t9s1kgpa8s3f76/Revver%20Introduction-1080p.mp4
To which I added this .scc caption file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ickt0al7v6ggb2/rev3.scc
Things look great in the Premiere preview pane: http://screencast.com/t/HFZLVj6OX
But when I export as a quicktime video with embedded captions, I get a garbage output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3bmcx9yk5uuhy0/Revver%20Introduction-1080p-CC.mov
The closed captions display way more rapidly than they do in the Premiere preview pane. I didn't mess with any of the export settings - here's what I selected to get the export: http://screencast.com/t/dgx8a4v5sl7
What's going on? Why is this not working?
Rory

Wow that's awesome. Thanks Kevin.
I downloaded your project, located the source files as being on my machine instead of yours, and tried it out. Unfortunately the export still had some issues, but looking at what you did helped me figure out how to start again from scratch and do it correctly.
I think I understand now - I had been creating a sequence by dragging the video onto the new item. So the sequence used the attributes of the video clip. I hadn't realized I could create a new sequence with different attributes, as described in this article http://helpx.adobe.com/en/premiere-pro/using/creating-changing-sequences.html
So I created a new sequence, made sure it had 29.97 fps and correct dimensions (1440 x 1080), dragged in the video and scc, and exported.
Seems like it worked!
Here's the final verions, with captions embedded. You'll need to download it to see the captions, since dropbox's player doesn't support caption playback:

PDF export - problem with embedded font

Dear all,
I refer to a problem which was already discussed [here|Export to PDF wrong font;. I was asked to start a new thread and provide further information. Here we are...
The issue is nearly the same:
- We have a solution which both has a WinForms and an .aspx UI.
- We have a report, used in both solutions.
- The WinForms solution uses the Crystal Viewer to preview and print and export and so on.
- The web solution creates a PDF file and prompts to open or save. In this PDF, the font is substituted with Arial. This is actually the concrete problem.
1) Version of CR
on MY machine (MAYBE different on production environment, I have to check this):
Crystal Reports 10 (10.0.0.53327)
Crystal Reports Basic Runtime forVisual Studio 2008 (10.5.0.0)
Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit) (13.0.0.99)
Crystal Reports , version for Visual Studio 2010 (13.0.0.99)
2) CR Service Packs installed
Nope.
3) web / win app?
Both, see description above.
4) Is this happening on dev or deployed system?
On deployed system. It ONLY affects the web solution on the server, which is a Win7 64bit. My developement machine also is a Win7 64bit, it works on this device. On a colleagues machine (WinXP) it works, too.
5) What is the actual font?
The Font was exclusively developed for the customer by a designer, but it is fully embeddable (I already checked this).
6) Link to a screen shot that shows the issue
I do not know whether this really helps to NOT see a font replaced by Arial...
I hope you can help me. If the description is a little confusing, please ask, I will try to explain better, promised. Thank you, have a nice weekend!
Greetings,
Jens

Hi Don,
thank you very much for your reply!
The font is True Type, embedding allows preview/print.
What exactly does "Then make sure the WEB Servers have access to the font." mean? It is installed on the machine. I'm not really familiar with that server config stuff, as it is usually not my job...
Do we have to install the update (it is called support pack 2, right?) on the developement AND the deployment machine? Or only on the developement environment?
Best regards,
Jens

Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos.
The text track works great until I try to export it. After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format. The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4. I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost. It disappears. When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing. Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
Thank you!

Sorry here is the code

FCP5 - Problems with Quicktime Export Settings

Hello -- I'm experiencing trouble when I export a Quicktime file from my FCP5 to burn to a DVD. The DVD, which I burn using iDVD, plays on my computer buut not in my DVD player -- the DVD player doesn't recognize it as a playble DVD.
I've tested everything -- Regular commercial DVDs work fine in my DVD player, so it's not the DVD player that's broken. I haven't changed anything to do with iDVD. And finally, DVDs of the two types I'm using (Maxwell and TDK brands) once both worked fine in my DVD player when I exported from FCP and burned using iDVD, so it's not the blank DVDs that seem to be at fault.
The problem seems to have occurred when a friend asked me to change the FCP Quicktime export settings to export a Quicktime file for streaming on the web and also for exporting a motion mpeg file (I'm not even sure what you do with one of those).
Although I now choose "current settings" when I go to export, because I thought this would give me the old, preset standard settings that worked just fine in the past, I believe the FCP export settings must have gotten messed up, because nothing else has changed with my process, and yet now, the DVDs don't work in the DVD player.
I am inexperienced/beginner level with the FCP program and don't know how to get back to the correct settings, and hope someone could be kind enough to help me. Especially since the help manual hasn't shed much light on this.
Many thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Make sure your sequence settings are progressive to begin with.

Flash and quicktime export not possible at all!

hi iwork dev team!
as there was no result on my prev post, here again:
i use keynote'08 4.02 on imac with 2gb and osx 10.5.2.
i created a presentation with 15 slides and over all 16,5 minutes.
each slide has a mp3 sound file attached (the speakers voice recorded externally).
now i am facing following problems on *export to flash* (export is around 18mb):
1) synchronization of voice and effects is different than inside keynote - i fixed this by changing times and export/test cycles, as long until i run sync in swf (please make it sync - this is terrible).
2) starting with slide 13 some objects do not appear - in further slides many objects do not appear. the sound and time is ok, but not much to see. if i split the presentation into 2 parts, the export works fine, all objects appear in all slides, but i found no way to combine those 2 swf files....
3) in one slide i found out that the order of appearing/disappearing objects confuses the swf export, so that many objects afterwards are not at all shown.... i played around long and splitted the slide in 2 slides and with some workarounds i got it show all objects.
4) it would be great if at least some transitions and most effects would be supported and times of effects would be the same inside keynote and in exported swf.
*exporting to quicktime*:
1) first i had one large mp3 for the whole presentation and added it as soundtrack and synced it inside keynote. exporting this to quicktime made it run async. but at least export was possible for the full presentation.
2) i splitted the mp3 for each slide and added each mp3 to each corresponding slide. this way i made it possible to export to swf (see above). but quicktime export now has no sound and slide shows up nearly endless.... qt export is impossible.
what can i do?
at least it would help me if i can export ONE swf file.
best would be if it has same sync inside keynote and in swf - but i can live for now with swf export optimized sync that doesnt work inside keynote. but it should be fixed at least in the future....

I'm currently having a similar problem, where the Flash exported by Keynote seems to randomly miss some objects on the page that appear after a click or a delay. In fact, in one case, I had embedded a EPS file in the slide, and some parts of the embedded file were exported to Flash but not others. I'm using Keynote 3.0.2, so I'm sorry to hear that Keynote '08 still has this bug which makes Flash export pretty awful to deal with.

Video track/layer missing on QUICKTIME export - not missing if I use H.264 export?!

Having a strange issue with Premier Pro CS5.04. I'm exporting a video - 2 layers of MP4 video and one TITLE layer over the top. The top video layer is a cropped and blurred section of the same file as the clip below, to obscure some text on the video. When I export as an H.264 mp4 file it all exports fine - all layers intact and the blurring looks fine.
However, when i change to a QUICKTIME Pro Res 720 codec, the export does not include the blurred video layer - the settings on the timeline are identical, no opacity changes etc, and if I move the clips around to different video tracks the same issue occurs. Any idea why it would ignore the top video clip in a quicktime export?! Seems bizarre.
I'd love to include a screen grab but the uploader isn't working on this window. Useful.

I've spent the last week searching the internet, reading articles, posting on forums. Found several people with the same issue, but no answers.
The code is fine. I've tried code from several other articles/posts... they are all the same. Standard <object><embed> method.
Only thing I can think of is that the QT file is NOT being properly exported with Fast Start encoded.
I was using QT Alternative, which MAY be part of the problem... But real QT has a major bug in the installer that Apple appears to be ignoring for a long time now (...non-admin accounts get an error when trying to run QT, as the registry keys are not properly set as far as permissions).... which is preceisely why I went to QT Alternative. I tried installing QT (real) again today, but got the same error with QT (...can't find ActiveX files... which is what appears as a result of the installer bug).
What I'm trying now is I (reluctantly) switched my account to an Admin account (...QT now actually works, rather than getting an error on startup), and I'll try exporting the QT renders again, and see if there's a difference.
But, ya, there appears to be a lot of people out there who can't get the Fast Start working lately.
I'm open to any alternatives... as long as they are not complicated, and as long as they work. Just want embedded files on my site that Fast Start (or equivelant), and only start downloading when you click play (...otherwise, I'll have 10 clips competing to download while my HTML page still tried to finish downloading it's own content).

Quicktime Export causing Out of Sync Audio?

I'm trying to export a self contained Quicktime movie from my timeline, and every time I try, the audio ends up being out of sync. What am I doing wrong?
The audio is set to just the defaults, 16 bit, 48khz.
Sequence settings: HDV1080p30
When I bring the final exported movie back into FCP, it plays out of sync.
Exporting through the Share feature to bluRay resulted in perfect sync audio, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working.
Please help!

Allright, since nobody out there seems to have the answer - I'm going to share what I discovered so that the next person will actually get an answer without having to spend hours and hours finding it in other forums. Here goes:
Problem: Audio plays in sync on the timeline, an export from the timeline through Share to bluRay results in correctly synced audio; but a Quicktime Export with current settings results in a final movie where audio is out of sync with the video.
Solutions: I found two solutions to this problem:
1- When exporting to Quicktime Movie, check "recompress all frames". This solution had mixed reviews, with lots of people saying you should never do this, as it will reduce the quality of your final output; while others said the reduction in quality was not noticeable to the naked eye. I guess you can try it and be the judge.
2- In your sequence settings, change the compression setting to Apple Pro Res. This is the setting I decided to go with, as I'm currently awaiting the 10 hour render.
I did do a quick and dirty test on the ProRes option, where it appeared to work. Since the audio is correctly synced in the beginning of the video and then slowly falls out of sync (obviously the 30p to 29.97 problem), I had to run a test using my entire sequence. If you run a test on a 2 minute sequence, it will appear to be correct, because it is a slow falling out of sync issue - the problems occur later in your project (just fyi). Here is what I did (in case you want to try it on your project):
I created a new sequence and then changed the compression setting from HDV1080-30p to Apple Pro Res 422. I dragged my sequences into this sequence (so they were nested). I unlinked the audio and then selected about a 20 second area from about 3/4 of the way through the project. I sliced this section and then removed all the video before and after (so it would speed up render time and only render black, but I would still be able to see if the audio synced up later - I hope that makes sense - this made my export time only 12 minutes). After it exported, I reimported the movie, found the little 20 second area, and it was correctly synced. So, now I am exporting the whole thing. I sincerely hope this works. I don't have lots of 10 hour blocks just lyin' around!
Since my audio issue was most likely due to the fact that I captured and edited in 1080 30p, I believe it must be a bug in FCP that exports the Quicktime movie in 29.97 regardless of whatever your sequence settings are (believe me, I tried to change it to 1080-30p and it didn't work). That is why I think the Apple Pro Res option works, but it involves a total re-render of your project. This is also why I believe it plays fine in the timeline, because my timeline was set to 30p. Again, I also believe that is why my export to BluRay through Share resulted in correctly synced audio - the bluRay export I believe uses the Pro Res codec (which, by the way, took 19 hours).
Wish Apple would fix this bug.

Quicktime Export Does Not Play Music

I am having problems with the Quicktime export function of iPhoto not exporting the background music with the pictures. The old quick time files with the music in them seem to be playing fine in quicktime, so it isn't a quicktime issue. The music plays fine with the slide show, so I wonder why this problem.
Help is appreciated. I am using 5.0.4 version of iPhoto.

If anyone reads these posts and is experiencing these problems I think I have a solution! I spoke to Apple today and they are aware of the problema and are working on a solution. In the mean time they have a work-around and it works!! The problem centers on importing music that is not in MP3 format in some instances. So the easy explanation, or fix, is to reformat any troublesome music selections as MP3. The trick is how to do this if you are using iTunes. This is how I went about it:
First I had to set iTunes to become MP3 friendly. I learned to do this from a post in the iTunes discussions (thanks to Peter Miller!)
1. open iTunes.
2. select iTunes preferences.
3. go to "Advanced".
4. select "Importing".
5. In the drop-down menu for "Import Using" select "MP3 Encoder"
6. Select files in iTunes Library which are not MP3
7. In the "Advanced" menu select "Convert selection to MP3"
Steps #6 and #7 were not adequate to convert my clips to MP3, however, so I had to take a couple of additional steps.
1. Create a folder on the desktop - I labeled mine "Slideshow Music"
2. Drage your music from iTunes to your new folder. You'll have to trash the original copies eventually, but I'd wait until you're sure the conversion to MP3 works to do so.
3. Use a utility to convert the files to MP3. I used one called iLoveMP3 that I found on the internet. It worked perfectly. I also found a commercial program called Sound Grinder but didn't try it.
4. Once you convert your music to MP3, discard the copies in your "Slideshow Music" folder that are not MP3.
5. Discard the copies of your music in iTunes before re-importing your MP3 copies of the same music.
6. FINALLY! Drag your new MP3 copies of your music in to iTunes. They are now copied as MP3 and will work in your slideshow!
I know it is a lot of work, but if you keep the iTunes settings as they are now, and all NEW music is imported as MP3, I think future music usage in slideshows should be a little easier.

Quicktime Export taking a long time

I rendered a project. Took 4 hours. Quicktime Export took the same after the render. Did NOT export self-contained. Usually a Quicktime Export is a matter of minutes, not hours.

I've had a similar problem before. (after render) I ask it to export as a reference movie, but it still takes forever. However, when I check the supposed reference file, it turns out that it's self contained (you can tell by the size). So, check the file that was exported...if it's huge then that's a good indicator that FCP didn't recognize the referenced video command. Maybe it's time to trash preferences or some other kind of troubleshooting? Then again, this problem has been random for me, happening on some projects but not others. --David

Quicktime Export - Double Speed

I have had more problems with Quicktime Export ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. My usual way of doing things is to edit my movie, then export to +Quicktime Movie+ using the same format (ie not +Quicktime Conversion+...). However, every time I export that way, my movie is running at 200%, while the audio is running at regular speed. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?
2 ghz iMac Intel
FinalCut 6.0.6

No one helped. Oh well.

Quicktime export contains random grey frames

Lately, doing a straight Quicktime export (not Quicktime conversion) is resulting in movies with random grey frames in them, lasting about 12 frames or so each. This is HD footage, shot on the Panasonic DVX-100. This only seems to happen when exporting certain sequences, but I haven't been able to establish a pattern as to why it's happening on certain exports but not on others. It's all footage shot, ingested, and edited on sequences with the same exact settings.
It's only been happening since upgrading to QT 7.5, but the other computer in the office also upgraded, and it hasn't encountered this problem, and can export the same sequences I'm having problems with just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this, or offer a solution?

for the record this was not my first post, I forgot my account info. I'm normally very nice but studio x was just puffing his chest and belittling a good question
This is a Final Cut issue. If it were only a drive/scsi issue the errors would also be there in the animation codec as well. The bad frames ONLY occur when doing a quicktime export [DVCPRO HD 720](referenced, render all frames, and self contained). I'm not dismissing the fact that there very well may be a drive causing problems (G-SPEED XL12).
The bad frames do not occur any other time. I render plenty of things in the exact same codec over the network to the raid from AE and Motion and never ever have a problem.
One thing I am doing differently now is long form projects. The projects having issues are a one hour show and a two hour+ show. I don't have this problem with commercials or other small packages. It also doesn't matter if it's a random 10 sec section exported or the whole program.
This is what I'm working with:
HVX200 and other mixed footage
FCP and QT last updated in early july (no internet connection)
G-SPEED XL12
Fibre channel to one station that also acts as a file server
gigabit to one station from the file server
trunked gigabit to another station from the server (seperate NIC)
All three stations exhibit the same problem including the station connected via Fibre Channel
Other people are having the same problem as I've found by searching. The earliest report of this specific issue I've found so far was stated around Jan of this year. But there are more reports from this summer.

Quicktime export question

hey guys
i know that quicktime export is the best for dvd because it is the same source coming out as it was going in.
my one video i exported was roughly 17 minutes long...i exported it and it came to about 300mb
i then exported a video that was only 7 minutes long and it came to 1.5gb!
both videos has the same amount of stuff going on it it...possibly the 17 minute one had even more! so why would the shorter lengthed video be such a huge file size?
i am planning on making a dvd with about 25 short lengthed films on it. most blank dvds hold 4.7 gbs so that one video being 1.5gb is kinda hurtin
why would it export that much larger? is there anything i can do to help that?
thankyou

hey
i rendered everything and exported again, althought unfortunately it still came out to be 1.5 gb!
i can't figure out what it would be...i tried something after...i imported the 1.5gb video into a new project and exported that...it came out to 80 mb which was good, but then when i deleted the other file, that 80mb video file all of a sudden became currupt! i dont know how it did because it was a totally separate exported file? :/
well i just ran out of space on my mac book pro so i was trying to find stuff to delete to save some space to continue.
i saw that itunes copies all of the songs from lime wire, so i deleted all of the lime wire copies, which was about 3 or 4 gigs.
unfortunatly when i opened my projects back up a ton of the music was offline! i suppose when i imported alot of music i chose the limewire copy instead which is unfortunate
i was freaking out when i saw this! all of these files were offline...is there any way to reconnect them with the exact file copy, thats in itunes?
even though alot of these files were offline, i still heard them on the timeline which was releaving...
im still trying to export this 7 minute long video to hopefully be less than 300mb. would there be any more of a problem now that some of the audio is offline?
all i need is a quicktime dvd quality export of it, if i get that, i suppose it doesnt even matter if i keep the project or rough stuff
please help!
thankyou

Quicktime export failed - out of memory

After I managed to open AVCHD (MTS) movies with AE CS4 I just tried to export a 2 min movie. I export as H264 1280x720.
I keep getting this error "quicktime export failed - out of memory"
It also happend when using SD movies
I have 2GB ram and a dual core inter E6550.
Does anyone encountered such problem ?

Are you rendering and exporting using the render queue, or are you using the Export command in the File menu? You should almost always use the render queue.
See
"Rendering and exporting movies using QuickTime components" and
"About rendering and exporting".

Full Quality Quicktime export squashed the picture

Hi,
Exported iMovie HD6 clips as Quicktime export. Clips are 4:3 resolution. Set export dims to "current", but in the exported movie, people and objects look shorter and wider.
Settings used:
Compression: H.264
Quality: Best
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 720x480 (current)
Format: AAC
Sample Rate 48.000 kHz
Channels: Stereo
Bit Rate: 320 kbps
Prepare for Internet Streaming- Fast Start checked.
Settings were chosed based on youtube.com recommendations.
Why does the movie look squashed?
Thanks!!!

UPDATE:
Tried again, and selected dimensions: NTSC 720x480 4:3 instead of "Current" 720x480.
This corrected the problem, but can anyone explain why selecting "current" to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio messed things up?
Thanks!
