Quicktime fast forwards all movies?!

I really need help with this, i have the latest quicktime 7.3 installed and ANY movie i play in quicktime just fast forwards? thats the only way i can describe it, say an hour long movie it will show like 10 frames and fast forward to the end in like 5 seconds. Ive tried reinstalling quicktime but no effect, this has only happened since installing Leopard. any help guys?! please?!

I'm curious... are you using a Firewire audio interface ? I noticed that when I'm using the internal audio output of my Power Mac, the problem is gone. When using my firewire Saffire Pro 10, the fast forward problem is there. I also noticed that I get little glitches in iTunes at the same time.

Is there a way to fast forward the movie clip, so it shows as fast forward.

Is there a way to fast forward the movie clip, so it shows as fast forward in the final clip, please help. (iMovie 08')

In iMovie 08 - the answer is no. It does not have the video fx that were in iMovie 06. You can get iMovie 06 as a free download, if you already have iLife '08. Then you have access to a much better programme for doing the editing tasks you want.

Can you fast forward in movies?

When I view a video, if I click the center button I sometimes see the "timing" bar (that shows time played and time remaining) although it doesn't seem to work all the time.
Even when I see the bar displayed, it looks like I can't use the wheel to select a starting time to play from? I expected to see a diamond that I can move around just like when I play music.
Am I missing something about the user interface, or do I just have to make sure I have the time to watch the whole video in one sitting?
FYI, for some reason the video appears under "music video" rather than movies, I'm nt sure why nor do I know if this might have an impact on playback capabilities

Hi Papa....
I have the classic 80. While a video is playing, if I push the center button once, I can use the touch wheel to change volume. If I double click the center button, then I can scroll through the video to fast forward and reverse. When I find the section of video I want, then I click the center button again and it goes to the point I selected.
Also, if I push and hold the right or left arrow, the video will fast forward and reverse. This way of fast-forwarding and reversing is not very precise. But it works for me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Fast forward shared movies

How can I rapidly move to a point in a long title (e.g. movie) and restart playback?
This is especially important for shared videos as the fast forward using the remote stalls after a couple of minutes of playback due to starvation of the streamed video.
If I want to stop playback and restart at, say 45 minutes in, it can take 10 minutes using the remote to get there.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro, intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you press rewind or fast forward once, the film will jump to the previous or next chapter, depending on which direction you want to go.
If you press and hold the FF or Rewind button on your remote, the blue bar at the bottom of the screen pops up with an arrow in the left hand corner showing the direction of search < or > (Rewind = <, FF = >) if you then press and hold Rewind or FF again during the search, you will get << or >> or press and hold again you get <<< or >>> and the search will quicken accordingly to the amount of arrows showing in the left hand edge of the blue bar. When you reach the part you want to view from hit the play button on your remote again and the film will continue from that point.
Hope that helps :o)

Clip inspector-as i try to fast forward,i movie freezes and clip preview section goes blank. please help.

As I try to fast forward my selected clip, the video preview section goes blank and the clip doesnt get fast forwarded. I have to restart the imovie in order to be able to get the preview back. and in all this, the clip inspector never works. I updated my mac's software several times hoping that it would resolve the issue but nothing of that kind happened. Please help me.

Select the clip in the timeline and then the drop down menu should work okay. You can hold down the control key and click on the clip to get the drop down menu and select retime editor.

How do I stop my music from fast forwarding all the time?

Every time I try to play something on my iPod, it fast forwards through the song I'm trying to listen to or several songs or even the whole CD and I can't listen to any music at all. I also have trouble getting it to sleep and to stop playing. Do I have to replace something or is this fixable?

In the previous software you could double tap the home button and the apps icons would appear (shaking) and all you had to do was to press the red - button to turn off. Well since updating to iOS7 all have been able to do is pause but I am unable to turn it off from playing in the background.
A friend of mine says to swipe upward but I still don't see a delete/off button.

Why won't iDVD 08 preview controls allow fast forward?

It says in the manual that clicking the "right arrow" button on the on-screen control panel will fast-forward the movie, but it doesn't. Can anyone tell me why this is?
And why doesn't the iDVD preview have the same preview slider as QuickTime does?

This is simply a suggestion .... if you are in need of "scrubbing the timeline" do this in the video editing app (ie, iMovie or FCP) and not iDVD.
The main reason we don't normally scrub the entire video w/in iDVD itself is because this is not where video editing is done (as opposed to authoring the entire DVD).
iMovie and iDVD are like a candy bar. The chocolate bar would be iMovie and iDVD would be the candy wrapper (the outside packaging only). Hope this analogy makes sense.
A couple of things you can do to quickly preview your iDVD prior to burning to media if Preview / FF isn't working correctly in iDVD..... The first would be to jump to different scenes using scene selections w/in iDVD or perhaps make a disc image first of the dvd to the desktop and then use apple's dvd player to fast forward, reverse, etc.

Some movies from my ATV1 I can only hear the movie while screen turns all black. Later it will freeze if I try to fast forward. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This might be a problem with the movies themselves, where are they from, are they your own movies that you have converted yourself.

Quicktime Player fast-forward and reverse buttons not working for audio

I have Quicktime Player 7.7.3 for Windows and the fast forward/reverse buttons will not work while playing audio files. I've tried it with mp3 and m4a, neither will work.
The go to end/go to begining buttons are working fine.
The ff/reverse button don't work very well for video files, they only will move a few frames at a time, but they will not work at all on strictly audio files.
I've looked at the preferences, and the software is up to date.
the only way to ff/reverse is to go to Window > Show A/V Controls and use the Jog Shuttle, but that is a clumsy workaround. I'd rather have the playback buttons work properly in the first place.
Is there something else I should be doing (aside from purchasing QT Pro, that is)?

...stupid decision to replace the iTunes feedback...
Not replaced, just moved. Now grouped with all other Mac OS X feedback:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
It's not a bug. If it was we would all have this problem. My Macs don't.
Shut iTunes down.
Go to ~/your user name/Library/Preferences and place the file "com.apple.iTunes.plist" in the trash.
Try iTunes again. If your problem is solved, empty the trash.

Quicktime sound is muted on fast forward/ rewind, do not want it

hello, sound is muted when rewinding/fast forwarding movie in quicktime. Any ideas?

I've often do transcription, so shortcuts for ff/fr (⌘ + →/⌘ + ←) with audio enabled was very convenient.
Pressing ff/fr buttons with "Option" key is not an option, pardon the calembour. That's very reduces productivity.
Is there any method to bring back audio when ff'ing/fr'ing, without pressing buttons, only shortcuts?
I don't know of any since the keyboard shortcuts you want to use only cycle through the 2x, 5x, 10x, 30x, 60x playback options—all of which exceed the 1.9x max limit. I, however, would use a different approach for scrubbing forward/backward when transcribing. I.e., I would set the QT player playback to 1.9x with audio and then use gestures for scrubbing—that is, I would use a left-right, one-finger gesture (touch mouse) or left-right, two-finger gesture (trackpad) for scrubbing the playhead. (I actually prefer a foot control for scrubbing but haven't seen one since I retired from a job that included the transcribing of audio tapes.)

Fast forward time stretch effect / blurring / MOV

Hello friends,
So I did an entire 3 minute video using a time stretch effect (fast forwarding, time elapse) to match a voice over.
I saved it out as FLV so that the client could proof it. All was good so I wanted to provide an MOV file in H264 to increase quality / make Apple compatible for You Tube viewing.
When I did, the FF time stretch video really blurred and pixelated in the video.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a codec or something that might reduce the amount of dragging / pixelation / bluriness? (That of course has high quality)
Video was shot using a Canon Vixia HFS30.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bill, Steve,
I'm hoping you can shed some light now that I can actually show you what the issue is here with the fast forward motion effect. I've put two files I've uploaded below. Same issue on both.
The fast forward effect is on from 0:00 - 0:45
Quiktime, H264 -
http://youtu.be/Vs7u0kQ0hVQ
Also, can you tell me why the MOV files don't seem to fill the frame?
Flash, FLV

As you can see, the higher you set the resolution, the more pixelated I become.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Thanks

Play/Rewind/Fast Forward keys not working in Quicktime

How can I assign the F7, F8, and F9 keys (rewind, play, fast forward) to work with Quicktime? I desperately need to be able to shuffle through footage frame by frame for work, and it just stopped working as I downloaded the OS X Yosemite beta onto my MacBook Air. Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Try using the J, K and L keys. A double tap on J and L increases the speed. Triple tap is even faster.
Right and left arrow keys can also step through frames. Spacebar start and pauses.
