Quick Time MOV file

I am currently using Flash Pro 8. I publish Quick Time MOV
file. I got a message saying :
"The installed version of Quick Time does not support this
type of Macromedia Flash movie. Quick Time requires Macromedia
Flash version 5 or before. Please select "version Flash Player 5"
in the Flash tab of the Publish Setting dialog."
I select Flash Player 5. But it still give me this message.
Anybody knows why ? Need help>

This URL will only be accessible from your computer. Are you set up as a server? If so, provide the server's path to the file. Otherwise you will need to upload the file to an internet server like DropBox (or other free service) or send it "peer-to-peer" if too large to be emailed. (I also have a LaCie CloudBox but you would have to have Apple's compatible version of Java turned on and active in both the system and browser to run the JumpLoader applet via LaCie's MyNAS login access.)

File type/quick time movie file

My iTunes library used to have a preponderance of mp3 files. Now these seem to have been converted to Quick Time movie files. This might have occurred during an update. What happened and what does it mean.
Many thanks,
Wells

Wells,
Unfortunately the page you mention (http://www.cminow.org/itunesapplescriptfixer.html) will not load.
Give it a couple more hours or try:
http://www.cminow.com/itunesapplescriptfixer.html
That's my site, and I switched the IP address about four hours ago, and the DNS is probably still pointing to the wrong address. For some reason, the ".com" address changed over really fast (at Comcast anyway), but the ".org" one didn't.
Here's the AppleScript:on open badfiles
repeat with i in badfiles
set the item_info to info for i
--Change "mp3" to "mp2" in the following line for MP2 files:
if (name extension of item_info is "mp3") and (folder of item_info is false) then
tell application "Finder"
--Change "MPG3" to "MPG2" in the following line for MP2 files:
set file type of i to "MPG3"
set creator type of i to "hook"
end tell
end if
end repeat
end open
Just copy and paste that into the Script Editor in your AppleScript folder in Applications. Save it as an application. Then find one of the files that's giving you problems and drag it onto the application. It should change the type and creator and iTunes should be happy.
In order to avoid this in the future, just download the MP3s directly onto your hard drive by control-clicking or right-clicking on the link to the MP3. Choose the menu item that downloads to disk. In Safair, it's "Download Linked File". That avoids the QuickTime Browser plugin, which is what gives it a type of "MPEG" and creator of "TVOD" instead of "MPG3" and creator of "hook", which is what iTunes is happiest with.
Let me know if any of this wasn't clear, and I'll try to explain it better...

How can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

how can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

In quicktime, I would try File -> Export -> Audio. It will create an audio file. Then drop it onto your playlist into iTunes. Burn the list from itunes with File -> Burn to disk and then select Audio CD.
If you have Quicktime 7 it should be easier and export to AIFF directly

How to improve the quality of the quick time movie file

When I press command + option + enter, the graphics looks very good but when I look at the quick time mov I saved, its so bad. It's fine if I 'drag' the quick time window to the smallest but when I look at it in full screen mode, the picture is so bad... What can I do to improve the quality?
Please give me step by step instrustion
Flash CS4 I am using, action script 3.0

The text in your original Flash movie is a vector representation. The text is drawn to the screen using a mathematical structure that is resolution independent and so the text will look crisp and sharp regardless of the enlargement or reduction of the image. When you take this Flash movie and export it as a compressed video file using the Quicktime file format, you are turning that vector image into a raster image. The compressor that you choose when exporting the file to Quicktime takes the text as it sits on the stage, at whatever that stage size is, and records the pixels. These pixels are then compressed by one means or another to produce a manageable file that can be played back in a linear method using the Quicktime player.
In other words, there's a lot going on in that export. Flash works best when it can work with just vector artwork. Flash is a runtime playback tool. The Flash file is stored as a set of instructions for the Flash player to execute when the user plays the file. Quicktime is a file format. The Quicktime player reads the comressed file and decompresses that file as it plays. It is a linear process. It starts at the beginning and goes until it stops. Quicktime's compressors take the original content and compress that content by storing the information about the pixels that make up the file. Quicktime, and all of the other video file wrappers, play back best when the final file is played at the same size and frame rate as the original. Like any pixel based image, the quality of the image degrades as it is enlarged.
Some compressors can provide a better quality image when enlarged, some don't. There is no 1,2,3 for creating great QT from Flash. You'll need to work through the compromises of original stage size, video compressor, audio compressor, output size, frame rate, color depth, video keyframing, etc. What works very well for one file will work less well for another file.

Query regarding conversion of Quick Time movie files to .swf format

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to convert QT movie files to .swf format using
any tool ?
Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
Suppose we have a QT movie file of size 3MB , when it is
converted to .swf
format what will be its size ?
Then can we play this .swf file using QT player or we require
flash player
to do so .
Kindly answer these queries.
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Hi Anil.
Yes, you can. You can import QT movies into Flash and embed
the movie and then
export an swf version of it. You can also convert teh video
to a FLV (Flash
video) and have a swf that provides the controls and player
for it.
> Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
File size probably will go down but that depnds on what
compression the orginal
QT has and what compression you use when importing to Flash.
I'd say start with
a high quality QT, then try various compression levels when
importing to get
the best size to quality balance.
> Suppose we have a QT movie file of size 3MB , when it is

Is hard to say - as mentione dabove, depends on what the QT's
compression is.
> Then can we play this .swf file using QT player or we

> to do so .
You'll have to play the swf through Flash. Why would you wnat
to play it
through QT?
What's the output for - CD/web? I'd suggest FLVs ratehr than
an embedded vidoe
into a swf as you can get better quality control and
playback.

Renaming and transferring quick time.mov files

I record video with my digital camera and load it from the SD card, to my Toshiba laptop that runs Vista as it's operating system.
I used to be able to rename the files with ease, but now I can not at all. I select the file I want to rename, click enter and the machine will not respond. I always end up having to close the program, with successfully being able to rename the files.
I also have tried burniung the .mov files onto CD or DVD, to load them onto my Dell desktop that runs XP as it's o.s. but can't accomplish that either.
HELP!!!!

Deleting the quicklook preferences file cleared the problem.

FCP Movie File or Quick Time Movie

Which format is used for what?
Which is best for backups? Does FCP Movie file (selfcontained) give worse quality if I store my videos in this format?
Which is best for exporting to DVD Strudio Pro?
To export a quick time movie file takes me two hours, for FCP movie file its's 15 minutes...

Well, in my case the more options I have, the more confused i get
I understood the "Using Quick Time Conversion > Quick Time Movie",
gives me more possibilities, while takes more time... and this happens because of some kind of recompression?
And the most simple decision is to chose the first exporting option "Quick Time Movie" ... and forget about the rest until I pend some time doing editing :)))

Can you export a Quick Time REFERENCE file from Final Cut Pro X?

Used to be in FCP-7, you could export your timeline and at the bottom of the Export dialog box, there was a check box where you could check "Make the movie self-contained," which would export a full Quick Time .mov file, or you could UNCHECK that box and FCP would export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (referencing the source media used within the timeline), which you could then bring in to any one of a number of different encoding apps.
I prefer to use Sorenson Squeeze to do my encoding, as it's much, much faster than Compressor and has infinitely more format options (Flash, Windows Media, Real, etc., etc.).
But now, I don't see a way to export a Quick Time Reference file from the Final Cut Pro timeline, er, uh, storyline, er, uh, project.
Anybody know if there's a way to export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (not a full Quick Time .mov)?

I do the same thing with Final Cut Express, actually. Only I then open the reference file up in QuickTime Pro and re-export it to an h.264 mp4. I can do that multiple times in the background vs. getting caught up in Final Cut's pathetically non-threaded user interface when it's saving/exporting.
I was going to ask the exact same question here, but you beat me to it. And so far it sounds like the answer is "no" ... :-(

Creating Quick Time Movie with Photos' Titles?

When exporting an album to a Quick Time MOV file is there any way to export the titles for photos too? If not, is there a way to create a "universal" slide show that plays on all OS's with titles?

EarthBased:
What is the ultimate destination of this slideshow? If it's for a DVD project post back as there are other steps to take to make sure the titles display on screen. Or you can use a 3rd party slideshow application that gives you more flexibility as to where the titles are placed. PhotoPresenter is one (very inexpensive) and has over 20 animated themes as well.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Export Quick Time movie drops several clips

FCEHD 3.5 user
The exported quick time movie has dropped several clips from the time line - no clips were dropped from the browser. I exported the QT Movie to external drive B because drive A was getting full (15% available) and on the prior export to ext A I had audio sync problems - about 3 frames ou of sync. The sync problem, on drive A, had just started and it went in and out over about 10% of the 34 min project. The sync problem went away when I exported to drive B but that whe 3 clips were missing from the timeline. This was the first time I used ext. drive B to store a quick time movie file.
What's causing the clips from dropping off the timeline?
Should I continue drive A as my QT export storage?

Full details about your system and the drives would be helpful.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

I'm getting artifacts and noise when I converted a dv file to a dv quick time movie . HELP

I am trying to create a dv quick time movie with a resolution of 576x 256, 16 bit from a avi file that is 720x480 millions of color . When I have done this in after effects and made a dv quick time movie it is very noisy (both image and background). I am stymied. Tried to use thenoise effects- and blurring effects to no satisfaction. ANyone out there have any suggestions???? I need immediate help

which codec are you suggesting
If Stan's right and that has been asked for by the client, use that. If not, I like both the Lagarith codec and the UT codec. Both are lossless and will preserve maximum quality.
are you talking about doing this in AF or Premiere Pro
Either way works.

Unable to play Quick Time movies in web pages

We have Quick Time 7.0.4 player installed on Mac OS X v10.4, But we are unable to open Quick time movies in web browser from external web sites.
It gives us error ‘To view this movie, you will need QuickTime 5 (or later)’
If we open Quick time movies from local disk in web browser then it works perfectly alright.
Could you please let us know the reason behind this?
Note: I have encounter this problem on safari and IE 5.2 browser.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

Cannot open Quick Time movies in iLife 11

I got my first digitized Super8 films back on an external hard drive, 1 TB. They were converted to Quick Time movies 1280x720,
Codecs: Component Y' CbCr 10bit 4:2:2 ( I have no idea what this all means). All I had asked was to get them in .mov files. Quick Time movies seems to be something different than .mov files.
What can I do to open these Quick Time movies and to edit them in iLife 11?
Would appreciate if somebody could help me .

The information about the codec in Final Cut Express is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3523
I have a lot of old Super8 films and decided to get them digitized. After that I intend to discard the old analog films and keep two copies of these old Super8 movies on external hard drives. Therefore I am looking for the best possible quality at a reasonable price.
The first batch last year was digitized to what they called uncompressed .mov files and could be easily imported and edited in imovie.
For the second batch (another service) I decided to go HD in .mov files, again uncompressed (the HD quality 1280x720 seems to be remarkably better) What I got are these Quick Time movies that I cannot open in Quick Time and imovie does not let me import these Quick Time movies, whereas the uncompressed .mov files last year were a breeze to handle. What's the difference between 'uncompressed' .mov files vs. Quick Time 'uncompressed' that I cannot open in imovie.
Now you are pointing out that FCE does not let me edit uncompressed QT files. How do I convert to .mov or MPEG Streamclip?
Would I purchase Final Cut Express only to be able to open those movies in Quick Time?
Feels like I am at the low end of the learning curve.
Appreciate all help I can get for my project.

Quick time movies in iPhoto

I have a Panasonic digital camera DMC FX9. When I download stills and short movies from a SD memory card they automatically go into iPhoto. That presents a couple of problems on the quick time movies (.mov). One I don't want them in iPhoto, two if I rename them in iPhoto the new name does not show up in a "smart folder" on my desktop that contains only .mov files.
How can I make SD card downloads separate .mov files from iPhoto pictures? Would like the .mov's to got to the default MOVIE sidebar folder.
If not possible, then how can I make the names in iPhoto show up on a folder of just quicktime movies (they keep the original file name despite the new name in iPhoto)?

Hi Edward,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
