QT movies playback cropped

After the last QT upgrade I noticed that some of my QT movies I have placed on a slide playback as if they were cropped. I cannot see the full image, it appears as if they were masked only showing a portion of what the image should be. When played in the stand alone QT player they play fine at any scale. I have not modified the inserted movie, just placed it on the slide. I would prefer to play the brief videos on the slide during the presentation and not in the QT player app.
Thanks.

Bump!
I am having the same problem. QT movies inserted into the KN 2.03 presentation that once played ok, now are cropped. As others have stated, only some of the movies are cropped and only when actually playing the KN presention. My solution is "esc" out of the presentation and click on the slide edit window to get the "whole" movie to play.
Any ideas out there?

ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

Movie playback issues

My movies are having playback issues again. Default settings are 44.1kHz 16bps 720p HD.
Operating System: Windows 8
Itunes Version 12.1.0
The issue is the sound goes in the beginning of each film. I have a computer which is two years old and yet there seems to be a recurring problem with movie playback.

I think it depends on which version of iTunes you are using. I had the same problem with digital copy movies when I loaded the 64bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunes64setup.exe, on a Vista machine. Once I deleted that version and loaded the 32bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunessetup.exe, I was able to view the movie in iTunes AND download it to my iTouch.

Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

Hi all,
Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

Movie gets cropped on HDTVs

I have created a movie in Final Cut Pro X and then burned a DVD disk in iDVD. The movie shows the whole 16:9 frame on the computer and a CRT TV. The movie gets cropped on the two HDTVs I have tested it on. The DVD players have be set to their default seetings. When I place a DVD such as one from Netflix nothings gets cropped, so I am at a loss as to what is happening to my DVD
The two HDTVs I have tested on cropped the movie differntly. On one just the left and right side are cropped, not the top and bottom. On the other tv the cropping is equal on all sides.
The size of the movie is 1920 x 1080. Video Mode = NTSC. Aspect Ration = 16:9. Encoding = Proffessional Quality. Movie length = 17 minutes
Thanks in advance - Sam

After posting the above I saw in "More Like This" a possible solution in myDVDEdit. So I am going to check it out and see if it can solve this problem.
The people who work on iDVD should be aware of this issue and fix it.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.

Toshiba L4353 39" - USB Movie Playback Problem

Hi,
I recently bought a Toshiba L4353 39" smart tv, the usb playback does work but i keep having this really annoying problem,
basically i'm watching a movie file and everything is fine and then for no reason the playback of the file stops and i'm back at the my content screen, this has happened on multiple films and have tried a few different HDD so i can only assume it's the TV, help?
Thanks, Martin

Did you test the movie playback using an USB flash memory stick or just USB HDD?
Does this issue appear playing movies supporting different file format?
In the [user manual page 89|http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/L4353-323950-English.pdf] you can find information about the file compatibility
Please check if the movie files are encoded properly and use the supported video and audio codec

Question: Apple TV Movie playback freezes very briefly but frequently

Last night I rented a couple of HD movies from iTunes on my 160GB Apple TV and watched them. During playback there were quite a few very brief instants of the picture freezing during movie playback. It's the kind of thing some people may not notice (I don't think my wife noticed), but it got to be kind of annoying to me, to the point where I was anticipating it to happen again instead of enjoying the movie!
One of the movies was about 80% downloaded when I started to watch it, although it said it was "Ready to Play." Also, the hard drive on my Apple TV is about 3/4 full with music.
Anyone have any idea why this would be happening and is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

Thank you for your response. Again, it was relatively minuscule, but just noticeable enough. I will reboot it.
Has this been a noted problem with other users of the old unit?
I've seen very bried video stutters and audio dropouts from time to time.
Another possibility is the encoding but generally it's not that - if you rewind and replay usually it plays ok 2nd time around - if encoding of video was to blame it would always be the same.
I am considering grabbing a new unit in the future. Has Apple noted that the new Apple TV will have "smoother playback" relative to the old unit, or something like that?
Not specifically, it's just a more powerful chip in it than previously - the old AppleTV was probably pushing the limits with the available hardware.
However, from:
http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/
this might be a hint:
"All streaming. No hassle.
Everything you want to watch — films, TV programmes, photos and more — streams wirelessly to Apple TV. That way you don’t have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library. HD film rentals play over the Internet to your widescreen TV, while music, photos and TV programmes stream from your computer. Either way, all you have to do is click and play. Since Apple TV features a powerful A4 processor, it streams everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Video looks crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay a hilarious scene until you memorise every line."

Jerky movie playback, but smooth on camera

I have a Panasonic PV-GS250 I bought in USA and have a great movie on the camera - pretty smooth pans and zooms for a beginner, but when imported into iMovie HD, it plays back jerkily. I'm new at this, but friends don't have same problems - although they use Windows? Film is imported into Mac as NTSC (assume 'cos camera bought in USA), but iMovie should handle all of that no problem, so why the jerkiness? I have checked the Import Perferences and Playback preferences and get no difference on Standard, or Highest! Can anybody help - or do I need to switch to Windows???!

No, you don't need to switch to Windows.
But have a look and see what other programs your running on your PB at the same time as iMovie ..movie import and playback uses a lot of resources, so turn off all unnecessary programs, and go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items, and turn off all unnecessary background programs, such as those which wait for incoming fax calls, those which monitor keypresses, and - also in Sys Prefs - turn off any other items you may have (..at the bottom of Preferences..) such as 'Snapz Pro' screen-monitoring/recording software.
Remove or disable any non-Apple 'codecs' you may have, such as any DVD-burning video software associated with 'Roxio' or 'Toast'.
Check that, under System Prefs>Energy Saver, you haven't ticked the "Put hard disk to sleep" box, or set any other Prefs to make the computer go to sleep or run slowly (..under 'Optimisation', set it to 'Better Performance').
Also, try going back to the iMovie Discussions index, where this topic sits, and type JERKY into the Search box at top right ..you'll see a whole load of Discussions, and suggestions about how to improve things.
Also, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utilities, select the name of your hard disc, and click on 'Repair Permissions', then wait for a few minutes while your Mac makes sure that all relevant files are set to their appropriate 'permissions'.
A good way to separate your movie import/playback from everything else which your PB is doing, is to buy an external FireWire hard disc (minimum speed 5400rpm, or - better still - 7200rpm), plug it in, and use that for storing movie footage. Then if your PB has some internal 'housekeeping' to do (..indexing files, keeping track of things, writing and erasing temporary files..) it doesn't interrupt the movie playback, as it's using the internal disc for its own things, and just grabbing the footage off the external disc without its being interrupted.
Oh, by the way: Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
Oh, and other people may suggest which is the appropriate version of QuickTime to be using (..I can't remember which is best with 10.3.9..) as some later version(s) ..QT 7..? QT 7.0.2..? may give jerky playback, though I haven't noticed that myself..

Booklet crashing during fullscreen movie playback

My Nokia 3G Booklet crashes during fullscreen movie playback, usually after 30 minutes. I'm using the booklet to play to a LCD screen @ 1024 x 768 via the HDMI output. The movies aren't even HD, just 600-700MB Avi files. I'm using Windows Media Player version 12.0.7600.16415. Anybody else have this problem? The Booklet gets pretty hot playing movies too.

About the temperature you should not worry to much, I would suggest you just to try another player, such as GOM Player, and to see if you have same issue, also If you could submit some logs with the latest Error Logs from your system, so that we can check if there is a Kernel Power issue or it might be related to overheating of your CPU. I had seen full movies over HDMI and no issue with it. I guess might be some software issue.

Thumbnails 16:9, playback cropped

When I look at the thumbnails of my films in i-movie they show the full 16:9 image.
However when I playback the film I can see that the image has been cropped a little top and bottom. Could anyone shed some light on this?

I'm looking for a step-by-step process from capturing to exporting in FCPHD to producing a properly formatted DVD in DVDSP2. I prefer exporting using Quicktime Compressor, but am open to other ideas.
Did someone say step-by-step?
Press Control-Q to bring up the Easy Setup dialog. Check the 'Show All' box in the upper-right corner. Then select DV-NTSC Anamorphic and click OK.
Confirm that all your clips from the GL2 are flagged as Anamorphic in the Browser.
Create a new sequence in the Browser. If you selected the right Easy Setup, this new sequence should be Anamorphic.
Copy and paste the clips from your (formerly) final sequence into your newly created anamorphic sequence. Your clips will probably not look right - they'll be windowboxed. To correct this:
Select all your clips
Press Option-Command-V to bring up the Remove Attributes dialog.
Select Distort from the Video options, then click OK.
Your clips should now stretch to fill the 16:9 frame.
Export to DVD Studio Pro, however you like (QuickTime, Compressor or directly into DVDSP)
In DVD Studio Pro, after you've imported your assets, place your video & audio into a track
With the Track's properties available in the Inspector, alter the Display Mode setting to 16:9 Letterbox (just in case it's set to '4:3')
Having said all that, your use of 'letterboxing' in FCP leads me to believe that your major oversight is not using an anamorphic sequence while you're editing. Once that's corrected, your workflow otherwise seems correct.
Good luck.

Movie playback lags SMPTE counter, self-corrects when advance by frame

Recently playback of my QT movies has begun to lag the SMPTE counter by about 15 frames. At any given point when playback is stopped, the timecode burn in the QT reads appx 15 frame behind the SMPTE counter. Curiously, when I advance by 1 frame (using key command), or advance by measure, or jump to marker, pickup clock of region, etc., the video instantly snaps forward to the exact SMTPE code in the counter. Lag only occurs during playback. This actually makes the problem worse, because I can't merely change the start time of the movie to compensate.
I've been using Logic for years without any sync problems. The problem is not file specific — the same lag occurs in Logic sessions I did just weeks ago with no sync problem.
Any thoughts or insights much appreciated.

Solved it – hope this helps someone else.
By moving (and saving elsewhere) my Logic preferences, I narrowed it down a preferences problem. Turned out to be my setting for plugin delay compensation – not an early suspect, given that it is for AUDIO. I had it set to "All", in order to eliminate the several frame shift rendered to my bounces when using the AdaptiveLimiter. After setting it to "audio tracks and instruments", the video lag ceased.
It will difficult to remember to change that setting every time I bounce a final mix, but at least the problem is solved.

Date & Time stamp on QT movie playback

Is there a way to turn on a date & time stamp on playback of QT movies provided that info is embedded in the QT info?

Hi Sach1n
Unfortunately that is not feasible but you can view the EXIF Data on the 5800XM with a python application as per screenshot here:http://i35.tinypic.com/ht9ovs.jpg
