Quicktime h264 + flash

Hello,
I've done a ton of professional Quicktime video mastering to web in the past, and just recently have started to get my feet wet with using flash as a container for h264 mov files. It seems to have worked in the beginning, but I've started to notice that unless the videos are 30fps, there's a sync problem with audio and video. When the fps is slightly off, the sync issue is small, but when you have something like a 15fps video, it's major.
Is this a bug with flash or something related with the QT mov?

The quality is adjustable. I am assuming you have Final Cut Studio, yes? Then you have Compressor. Use Compressor to make the highest quality H.264 file you can. Then, when it's done, change the extension from .mov to .f4v. If you don't see the extension on the finished file, select the file in the Finder, press cmd-i to open a "get info" screen, and in the middle where it says, "hide extension," deselect that. Then go back and change the extension to f4v. I read the link you posted. Doing this will work exactly as they have outlined.
make sure the audio is AAC. That's most likely why your last one didn't work. The default in QT is probably IMA or PCM audio. According to the link, the audio MUST be AAC.

Itunes 8 not working, Quicktime error, Flash 8 not working

Ever since i did the upgrade to iTunes 8 on my windows vista machine, I can't get into itunes, quicktime or flash 8. This is really really frustrating seeing as i just bought a new iphone and i cant even get into itunes to sync it. Luckily I have a second computer i could use to unbrick it.
The error I'm getting when I try to open itunes,
well after i installed itunes 8 i clicked on the start menu shortcut it said please wait while windows configures itunes and then at the end it says you must restart your system for the configuration changed to itunes to take effect. so i restart my computer.. then click on the short cut again.. and it gives me the same message.. over and over!
so i tried opening an mp3 file in itunes and it throws this error..

Does quicktime support flash video or flv format

Does quicktime support flash video or flv format

Not natively; it only works if Perian is installed, and then only in Mac OS X 10.8.5 or earlier.

Must a QuickTime or Flash Movie act as a MIAW?

I'm hoping to import a quicktime or flash movie with an alpha channel, in hopes that the stage image will not be obscured. This is assuming that a movie can play in on the stage without being framed as a MIAW. Is this possible?
Thanks,
-david

You're not going to get an alpha channel in a QuickTime movie, and if you turn off DTS and try to apply an ink, you'll again be dissatisfied. I'm less sure about Flash movies, but suspect it will depend on how they're imported/played. You certainly have a better chance with Flash.
I am unsure where your MIAW reference has any relevance, but assuming this is what you're asking: yes - a video can play on the stage, it doesn't have to be played in a MIAW.

After effects cs5 - quicktime h264 very large file size

hi,
I'm wondering if anybody can recommend a good quicktime codec for very small file sizes, for preview renders.
current project - my wmv renders are coming out around 10mb and reasonable quality which is excellent.
some of my clients don't have flip for mac so I need to render them a quicktime.
the quicktime h264 are coming out a lot bigger than expected. same timeline, pixel dimensions and frame rate = around 150mb and similar quality.
I thought in the past my h264 QT renders had been maybe double the file size of my wmv renders, not 15 x bigger.
am I missing something really obvious?
pixel size = 1000 x 250,
frame rate = 30fps,
timeline = 4m 30s
h264 quality = 50%
audio = aac stero
using after effects cs5, win7 pro
thanks in advance
s

the size of the file is directly related to the bitrate at which you encode, not frame size or fps. So, if you want a 10s clip to be 15 MB (not including sound), divide 15 MB to 10s and you get 1.5MBps bitrate, or 12Mbps. You might get better quality if you encode 2-pass VBR with max bitrate set to what you computed previously.
Anyway, it's usually better to render your comp to some losless format (QT none, or TGA sequence, etc) then compress your clip with Media Encoder. This way you can play with the settings for H.264 until you get an acceptable result, without having to render from AE every time.

Quicktime to flash conversions

I am doing some testing for an upcoming project which requires Quicktime to Flash conversion and I noticed that when you save your settings in the Adobe media encoder interface (save as) and go into it again to check, the settings go back to the default. Does this mean they have not been saved? The inspector doesn't give much information ether.
Thanks

Quicktime H264 Crash

When I try to add a Quicktime H264 mov file, Premiere Elements 3.0 immediately closes without any error message.

You may not be able to use that file format for editing, Michael. Less-than-standard editing formats like that sometimes works and sometimes don't, depending on how your system is configured. But if, as Paul recommended, you've got the latest Quicktime and still can't do it, it's just not likely to go.
Though it might help to know where this file originated. It's not a typical file produced by a camcorder at all.
Regardless, your only sure cure is to convert the file to the more standard DV-AVI. You may be able to do this with the free video converter Super, but you'll definitely be able to do it with Quicktime Pro ($29 from Apple).

Text distortion when converting from QuickTime to Flash

I am converting a QuickTime video to Flash format. Both have
the same pixel dimentions - 200 x 150 - so I don't need to resize.
I am using the default "flash 8 - high quality" settings.
However, there is some large text on the opening screen of
the video that looks fine before conversion, but is distorted after
conversion. Any ideas how to fix?
Edited to add that I am using the Flash 8 Video
Encoder.

+*Resize Filter: Nearest Pixel*+
+*Deinterlace Filter: Fast (Line Averaging)*+
Try changing these settings to better. The best setting will definitely look better than the fast settings. If your very picky about how your video looks and have the time to kill try best.
Since your using multi-pass for the h.264 frame control, frame control will be read/used for each pass, adding (a lot) to the time of the encoding. One work around is to use Pro res to encode the video using frame control and then link (target) that encoding to the h.264 setting with frame control off.
Here's an excellent tutorial on using the link (target) function in Compressor:
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
One thing you need to set for the h.264 encoding that isn't mention in the above tutorial. In the Inspector/Geometry window for the h.264 encoding you need to set the video dimensions. You'll notice it is set to Automatic with no video dimensions. For some reason you'll get an error if the video dimensions aren't set.

Media Encoder CS4 problem with h.264 QuickTime- Green flashes

I have been using Premiere/Media Encoder CS4 on both a Mac and PC. I am having problems encoding using h.264 HD (720p) settings. These are the problems I have had:
When I encode on both platforms (using many different settings) the video plays back fine on the latest version of QuickTime on the Mac.
On the PC using the latest version of QuickTime the exact same video stutters and flashes green.
When I downgrade my version of QT on my PC to 7.4.5 the video plays fine.
With the downgraded version of QT and then encode the video again using the same settings. The video has the same mentioned problem on ANY PC with the latest version of QT.
I would like to say that this is just a QT problem but when I encode the videos using someone elses computer with other software (Sorenson Squeeze) using the exact same settings the video works fine on all platforms.
I need to distribute these videos online so I have no control over what version of QT people will be using to view the video so it is not enough just to say use the older version of QT.
Thanks in advance for help.

There have been several instances, such as you describe, on the forum lately. Do not recall any exact resolutions though. I'd seach for "green flashes," as that exact phrase has been used in many.
On the PC using the latest version of QuickTime the exact same video stutters and flashes green.
Is this with QT 7.6.2? Many had major issues with the QT 7.4.x versions and Adobe software. The QT 7.5.5 version seemed to fix most of those, but another user was having issues with it very recently, and there have been some, who have also had issues.
It seems that QT will work with Adobe products for a bit, and then the next upgrade, or two, will fritz up the whole works.
Wish this was not such a "moving target."
Good luck,
Hunt

Snow Leopard, quicktime H264 playback, cinema speakers cause video freezing

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on an early 2009 MBP 17 (2.66ghz) with 9400 and 9600 graphics chipsets. This version of Snow Leopard supports hardware-accelerated H264 video playback on the 9400 chipset. I have a 1080p video which plays back flawlessly using Snow Leopard's Quicktime player with hardware accelerated decoding (averages less than 5% of the CPU during playback of 1080p video).
Since I added the Apple Cinema Display 24 (ACD24) with its built-in USB speakers, I can no longer play this video back smoothly with the ACD's speakers in use for the sound. This setup causes frequent video playback pauses and freeze-frames (sound continues to play).
If I switch the system audio back to the MBP's built-in speakers, the playback immediately returns to being flawless.
I've also noticed that Windows 7 under Bootcamp does not work very well with these speakers, which frequently pop and click under Windows 7 when music or video is being played.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting these problems?

I seem to have fixed it.. I spent an hour troubleshooting. I logged into my vanilla guest account and the glitches were still there, so I knew if the problem was from 3rd party software, it was installed system-wide or at least for all users. So I removed all my 3rd party PreferencePanes and the problem disappeared. I slowly added them a couple at a time and the culprit was the Unsanity software (Application Enhancer, FruitMenu, MenuMaster, etc) .. I went to their site and the last update is about Leopard compatibility.. lol. So I think I'm just not going to use their software anymore. Problem solved!

Can I use QuickTime in Flash application?

Hi.
I'm planning to develop a media player in Flash, and I would
like to know if it is possible to do the things I wanna do. Can I
use the QuickTime player in my Flash application to play video and
music files? If I can, can I use the original controls from
QuickTime to play, pause, stop, fast forward and rewind the
video/music? (Why I ask is because I want to be able to hear the
sound go fast forward and rewind when I press these controls, and
the only player I know that does that is QT.) I also wanna be able
to show the video and music files the user has on the computer with
icons (or pictures). Is it possible to search video and music files
in a computer (in specific folders)? Or do I have to know from the
start, when I develop the application, which files exist?
I'm really grateful for answers on my questions!

No you can't. You can't have player within a player.

You can open a folder and look for file but you can't search
user drive and get list
of it. Only File - Open - Browse, that type of dialog.

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

Playing Quicktime in Flash Player?

I head that you can encode a Quicktime video as H.264 and
change the
extension from .mov to .flv and it will play in the Flash
player. Is
this true?

Flash 9 can play h.264 files. Just change the suffix to flv.

Exporting Quicktime from Flash CS3

I got the new CS3 suite 2 weeks ago and have been loving it.
I am finishing out a nice animation for a client and realized when
I tried to export it to a Quicktime movie that it wont. The
progress bar progressese just like normal and when it gets to the
end it stays there. I read up on Adobes site about a quicktime
error fixed by turning flash on in the preferences and I did that,
restarted and it still is doing the same thing.
Is there any other possibilities out there that could cause
this to happen? I would think this wouldn't just be my copy doing
this but it very well may be a wide spread bug.
Thanks in advance for any help! :)

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of!! How can you remove the option for determining the size of my movie?! If the size of the frame influances the frame rate, you should have fixed that. With this it means I have to make my flash file 1920x1080 if I want the quicktime movie to be HD, not a pixel less.
Is there a way to override this? A plug-in or something that wil let me determine the size of the qiucktime movie independetly of the size of the flash file?
