QT Pro - .mov files - can't copy/paste/export - opens browser

On a couple .mov files, when I open them, my browser opens also. As for the .mov files, I can't copy, paste, export etc.
Can anyone explain this, and is there a way to resolve the browser and other issues?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

thanks Terence,
So I went into Iphoto, selected the Trimmed Movie and selected. PHOTOS, revert to Original.
Now I can COPY and PASTE the MOVIE from Iphoto to a normal Folder.
I then opened the original .mov file in Quicktime and trim the movie.  I then go to close and save
"The Operation could not be completed, an unknown error occured"

  • I trimmed a .mov file within Iphoto11 and now I can't copy & paste to my desktop

    Hi
    I imported a .mov file from my digital camera to my Iphoto11 Library.
    I wanted to email someone the video clip but wanted to TRIM it to remove an unwanted section of the .mov
    So I used the functionality within Iphoto to Trim the .mov
    I then right clicked on the .mov selected COPY
    I then went to my desktop and selected Paste.
    Instead of pasting the 50MB video, it pasted an 80kb .mov file.
    The files opens using Quicktime but is blank.
    The .mov file still plays fine in Iphoto11.
    I have tried searching for the .mov filename but can't find it on my MAC.
    Other ,mov files can be copied and pasted with no issue.
    I have opened up Iphoto using the special key stroke and selected all the options.  this has not worked.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • Can't copy/paste or move objects.

    Entire Edit Menu, other than "Clear" is grayed out – can't copy/paste anything. Also can't move objects with direct selection tool. Reset preferences and still have same problem. Ideas?
    Mac 10.6.8, CS5.5
    Thanks!

    I just had this problem as well. I'm using InDesign CS6, MacOS 10.6.8 where my cut & Paste grayed out and after I made any kind of object. Even though I could select it, I couldn't drag it/move it UNLESS I used my arrow keys to do so. I tried deleting my prefs and restarting InDesign multiple times as listed above but after a full shut down and restart of my machine I finally saw operations return to normal.
    Just an FYI.

  • Movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project in imovie 9 it works fine

    movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project
    in imovie 9 it works fine and there i cant copy 5 different project into new project
    but in imovie 11 i only can copy project with option dubler project?

    AppleMan  Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents"  but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb.  Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.  Babowa  It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?
    I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3

  • Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

    Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
    Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

    +"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
    In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
    I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
    But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
    I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
    At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
    Andy Neil,
    I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.

  • Can't copy, paste or save

    I can't copy, paste or save in Dreamweaver 5.5.  This is frustrating because about 3 months ago CS2 Design Suite crashed and I can't reinstall it.  Please help!  I'm getting no support.

    What is the error message you're getting when you try to copy/ paste/ save? Is this happening only for 1 file or all files?
    Can you open up Adobe Application Manager and check to see if you have any updates available for DW and ensure its up-to-date?

  • Saving as Quicktime or Final Cut Pro Movie File

    More a general question about compression from Final Cut.
    Source - HDV 3 min movie
    I compressed using default settings for Export > Quicktime Movie. (Result - a Final Cut Pro Movie File)
    Also I used default settings for Export > Using Quicktime Conversion, except I boosted to 'Best' quality. (Result - a Quicktime Movie file)
    The latter resulted in a file size twice that of the first (in theory higher quality) but stuttered on playback once burned to disc, although plays fine from Mac hard drive.
    Tried this with more than one movie and same problem of stuttering playback with higher file size QT Movie once burned to disc. Wondered what might be causing this.
    Also what are the pro's and con's of saving either as a Quicktime Movie or Final Cut Pro Movie File?
    Thanks

    You can't "improve" the quality of what is already a digital video. The "data" that makes up the video can't be improved once the camera records it as a file. There isn't even a theory about this. Going from one codec to a higher codec does not "add" any quality. In fact, your method is degrading your quality, as you're causing your HDV data file to be re-encoded twice to another HDV file.
    You're creating a larger size video file, with less quality do to doubling the compression generation with QuickTime Conversion, and it's the unnecessary increased file size that is making the CPU work overtime to play it back.
    Export > Quicktime, self-contained, this is the BEST quality you'll get, the most efficient playback, too.
    If you want it to play back easier, convert it to H.264 (quality set to medium, trust me), or ProRes 422.

  • When you try downloading a movie from the internet whick movie file can you download

    which file do you burn to burn a dvd

    when you try downloading a movie from the internet whick movie file can you download
    Depends on the web site. The site programmer can decide whether or on a file can be downloaded/can be saved to your computer. If he/she does not allow you to do this, then your can't download/save anything to your local computer.
    which file do you burn to burn a dvd
    Depends on the type of DVD you are making and how you plan to play the file. For instance, you can "author" the file so it can be played on a commercial DVD player connected directly to your TV or using a DVD media player on your computer. On the other hand, you could also burn the file to a DVD as a data file which can then be copied to a computer and played in a general video media player like QT. You could also burn the video as a data file to a DVD for playback directly from the DVD in a general media player like QT but then you would have to specifically encode the video for CD/DVD playback.
    Suggest you do a little research on the internet to discover the options available to you so you can better decide which work flow best meets your DVD burning requirements.

  • How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

    How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

    There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.

  • How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

    How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

    hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
    then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
    then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

    How can I copy&paste a keyframe?
    Imagine : I decide, after having animated a scene, to freeze un object for a few seconds.
    I can, of course, create a new keyframe and digit the same size and position (but it takes a while).
    isn't there a simpler way : copy&paste a keyframe?
