QuickTime Interactive Movie Playback Controls

When playing Quicktime interactive movies as slide shows full screen, are there any navigation options while remaining in full screen? I want to be able to jump to other parts of the presentation without existing full screen.

If your movie has chapter markers in it and you're close to the end, the fastest way is to just hit the jump to next marker button (the right button on the click wheel, the fast forward with a line button) to get to the end of the movie. The movie will then stop playing and return you to the last menu you were in. When you go back to the movie, it will restart at the beginning.
If it doesn't have chapter markers, the left click wheel button will take you back to the beginning (well, actually, it will take you back to the last menu you were in before playing the movie, but the movie will restart back at the beginning the next time you play it).
P.S. There's no such thing as a stupid question. Not everything is as obvious as Apple thinks it is. And that is exactly what this forum is for. Heck, I've been a Mac user since 1987 and it took me a couple of days to figure out how to actually turn off my 4G iPod when I first got it. (Hmmm, put it to sleep and lock the controls, with the "hold" switch. Yah, that's obvious.)

  • Quicktime Interactive Movie Mouse Control

    I have a quicktime interactive movie saved from keynote with chapters added in.
    The file pays full screen but at 800x600 screen resolution, the mouse left click button is not advancing the presentation. If I change the resolution to 1024x768 the mouse works again. What is the relationship between resolution and mouse control and how do I get it to work at 800x600?

    Tristan,
    As Rick indicated in his post, the answer lies in "manually"
    pausing the slides by inserting click boxes or buttons. I just
    wanted to add that if you have already recorded your movies and did
    not use Simulation mode, you can still easily insert a click box on
    each slide to pause them.
    1. On the first slide, insert a click box and set the options
    as you desire (turning off success/failure captions for
    instance...just don't uncheck the Pause movie until user clicks
    option, otherwise you will change the "nature" of the object that
    Rick was referring to.)
    2. Size the click box to as small as possible and place it in
    an out of the way location on the slide. (We often hide it under
    another object if it does not need to be clicked such as when used
    in conjunction with the auto playback controls.)
    3. Copy the click box
    4. On the filmstrip view, highlight all slides that you want
    the movie to pause
    5. Right Click on any one of the highlighted slides in the
    filmstrip view and select Paste Object
    This will paste a copy of your click box in the same location
    on all slides with the same settings as your original.

  • In Quicktime 10.3, why can't I hide the playback controls? It is most annoying when giving a presentation to a large group to see the control panel appear. I just want them to see the movie. Thanks!

    How to hide playback controls?

    The problem is I don't want my audience to EVER see the playback controls, just like I don't want to see a TV station's playback controls onscreen when watching TV. Same in a movie theater. The movie should just appear and play.
    And not moving the mouse is not an option when going between a slide program and a movie program, which our presentations often if not always do.
    Is there a way to do what I want in my computer using Quicktime?
    There are no user preferences for any current version of QT X. If you must use "Full" screen mode, then start player playback before entering the "Full" screen mode and exit the "Full" screen mode before again moving the mouse to avoid seeing the controls when you do manipulate the mouse. Only other option might be to use a non-mirroring workflow strategy.
    Does Quicktime Pro have that ability?
    Yes and no. The QT 7 media player window normally displays the controls at all times. However, when keyed for "Pro" use, you can go to the "Properties" window and change the "Presentation" movie controller type to the "None Movie Controller" setting. In this setting all playing modes other than "Full" screen mode display the player with title bar above the viewing area but without side frame or controls under the display. If you are using the "Full" screen mode for your presentation, then you can open the "Preferences" window to the "Full Screen" tab and deselect display of the "full-screen controls." In both cases you will have to either use menu options to start/stop playback or double-click the display screen to start playback and single-click the display screen to stop playback manually. (NOTE: In the first instance the property setting is/can be saved to the file itself while in the second the setting is saved as a QT 7 Player preference to the player itself.)

  • Playback control changes when animation is inserted into anothr movie

    Hi,
    I have created a couple of movies and used a specific
    playback control. When these movies (saved in swf format) are ran
    separately, everything is fine and the appropriate palyback control
    is shown. However, when I insert these animation (swf) into another
    project, the playback control are different of this animation are
    different !!! Any idea ?

    Hi,
    The problem still exists even if I have re-created the child
    movies (swf version 8) with other playback control.
    I have removed the playback control of the child movies and
    then just re-imported them back to the master movie. The master
    moview has been then published to EXE and it is fine (the child
    movies dies not show anymore the playback control).
    Then i have re-inserted the playback control into the child
    movie, and re-imported them back into the master, then the master
    published to EXE. And the problem is back, the child movies are
    showing a diffeent playback control (the same as dpierre - the skin
    used is dark grey, align top left, and the buttons don't actually
    work.)
    Is there a way to clear any cache that exists in the files
    (if the problem is the chache) ? I have a huge project with 20-25
    child movies to import into the master movie. It looks like a bug
    ?

  • I can't see the hand-cursor to controlled slides from a Quicktime Interact.

    Suddenly, my hand-cursor disappeared to controlled Hyperlinks from presentations in Quicktimes Interactives, make with Keynote.
    How can I get it again?
    I search in preferences, but I don't know how to appeared it.
    Thanks

    Ok, that didn't work and only closed out this window in discussions. After it closed this one I tried again doing the same but nothing. Makes sense though because if it closed this one out it would close everything else out on my desktop too. This is like a giant screen saver. All my other .jpg icons are still on my desktop over the top of this big pic. Is it possible this is what it is, just a screensaver? I did the same with another pic from the same website and it didn't do this. I clicked on my mouse to save a pic to the desktop and this monstrous thing appeared.  My dock is still there and the top bar that has the apple, Safari, edit, etc., but not anything else that you would normally click on to close a window. 

  • In the Quicktime 7 A/V controls, how fast is the 2x playback really because it isnt twice as fast. I shot a music video on the 2x setting and when we slowed the footage down to half time, it did not line up.

  • "Back" functionality in playback control

    Hi,
    I've published my output in Captivate 3. A strange occurrence: sometimes, when I click "back" in succession in the playback control, the previous slides are displayed and sometimes the movie gets stuck on a certain slide and is unable to go backwards.
    Any explanation for this?
    Thanks, DGR

    Hi there
    Just thinking about this from a logical standpoint.
    You have a playhead that is in motion moving from frame to frame. Along the way it may be stopped at various places awaiting some interaction or it may suddenly be moved to a different position. So repeated (and possibly fast) clicks on the back button might possibly confuse the issue. For example, if the playhead reached a point where it was suddenly supposed to skip to a different slide and you happened to click Back to move it to the skip ahead point. I could see that causing confusion.
    All this is pure speculation. But I'm wondering if it's having a play in the scenario you are listing.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can Captivate 7's playback controls control Flash swf files?

    Hi folks,
    I have created a swf file using Adobe Flash and I have imported it as an animation slide in Captivate 7. I have turned on the playback controls to just have the play button and the progress bar. When I export the presentation, the playback controls do not work. The scrubber moves as the presentation is playing, but I can't pause the presentation. When I stop the scrubber or even move it left or right, it does not affect the presentation and it just keeps playing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to have to create a custom nav bar in Flash as it would just be easier to use Captivate's playback bar.

    I don't think it can be expained quickly as it can be very complicated. But...
    Select New Project/Widget in Flash and choose static widget. You need to be very adept in AS3 to actually get them to work.

  • Limitations of Quicktime files (.mov and h.264) in Windows 64-bit.

    It was recently brought to my attention (yes, I'm late to the party) that any file that requires the Apple Quicktime process for playback (decoding) is severely limiting my otherwise powerful system.  The Quicktime process is a 32-bit process, which limits your editing functionality to 4GB of RAM—even if you have 32GB or more installed!
    I'm starting this new thread because the thread on which this was brought to my attention wasn't directly related to these issues.
    A few of my questions:  Why do so many cameras create .MOV or .MP4 files that require QuickTime components?  64-bit QuickTime X has aparently been available on the Mac for quite a while, yet I presume they won't allow anyone else to develop a 64-bit codec for Windows, so why hasn't someone sued Apple for monopoly, anti-trust, conflict-of-interest, etc?  And most importantly, in a world where DSLRs and off-board ProRes recorders abound, are Windows users really stuck with no option but to transcode the footage before heavy use in Premiere?  The Atomos recorders provide the option of using DNxHD, however, if I understand correctly, that codec still requires Quicktime (I've not tested this bit).  Is there a matrix available that shows camera / recorded format / requires quicktime / 8- or 10-bit / 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, etc? 
    To my fellow Windows 64-bit editors, how do you keep your sanity when editing "natively" in Premiere .MOV, .MP4, ProRes or DNxHD with the 4GB RAM limitation?  And what camera / off-board recorder do you prefer to avoid both a long transcoding session AND get right to work with native 64-bit codecs?
    Thanks in advance!

    http://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2012/12/premiere-pro-and-quicktime-an d-nikon-oh-my.html
    Just now.  Yet, it seems to contradict my own findings.  The article says:  "In the case of Canon DSLR files, there’s something in the file header. Premiere Pro can recognize that the clips came from a Canon camera, and bypass QuickTime. This enables Premiere Pro to have smooth playback of DSLR files..."
    The test I conducted was between files from a Canon 7D in their original format vs. an AVI file I transcoded from those originals using GoPro Studio (formerly Cineform).  I load up a project and timeline with the original 7D files and then scrub the heck out of the timeline, back and forth.  I have Task Manager open in order to monitor my RAM usage.  I simply could not get past roughly 4GB.  Once I deleted all the original .MOV files from the project, retaining only the transcoded .AVIs, the project cut like butter.  The harder I scrubbed the timeline, the higher my RAM usage soared until it gradually, and gracefully came close to maxing out.  Lol.  Is there a better test I should run?
    The other test I ran was a project where I took a single talking head clip of approximately 5 minutes in length.  Nothing too taxing for the hard drive, and something that *should* be easy enough to play completely from RAM, once it played through once or twice.  I cut this clip and staggered a few tracks on top of eachother.  No effects, no transparency.  The cumulative effect was a cuts-only edit, but on the timeline my tracks looked like stairs, etc (perhaps the stairs weren't necessary).  The primary goal here was to watch how the system performed with a simple cuts-only project where Peremiere was repeatedly asked to access the same file from random locations in the file.   The .AVI version of this project, again, played flawlessly.  The .MOV version played even worse than I was expecting, since cuts-only 7D footage is usually not SO hard on the system (even if it is limited to 4GB RAM).  The .MOV project couldn't keep up.  Period.  As soon as the file needed to "jump back" on itself, the refresh rate became intolerable.
    So is the 7D an exception to the rule stated in that article?  It definitely seems to be limited to 4GB of RAM!  If it isn't, why am I seeing this?
    Also, is it possible that the footage from the 7D may not *REQUIRE* Quicktime to decode, but since Quicktime is found on my system, the 7D files default to using it anyway?
    I've not tested my GoPro footage so thoroughly, but I believe it's limited in the same way.  After a transcode to AVI in GoPro Studio, even 2.7K footage plays slick as a whistle.  Not so when I don't transcode.
    Further thoughts?

  • 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.

  • Full Screen Playback Control Impossible Using Monitor 2 in Dual Monitor

    Recent iTunes update (patch didn't fix) causes playback control to disappear when the cursor is on the monitor showing the movie. Controls reappear when cursor is moved to first monitor. User cannot get the cursor near the control panel. Must drop out of full screen playback to touch controls with the cursor.

    Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
    I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

  • Aspect ratio, quicktime reference movie

    Hi, I'm trying to compress my movie edited in 1080i HDV to the h.264 Sequence iPod video 640x480.
    I've done this many many times exporting directly from FCP to compressor and it usually works.. But I have read (here and other places) that it is better to
    1. make a quicktime reference movie
    2. open that in compressor..
    3. render (compress) into the correct format
    When I do that it messes up the aspect ratio (making it even wider) any suggestions?
    J

    When converting like you did in the past, (where it changed the aspect of your image) did you go into the geometry controls of compressor and also select the proper aspect, found in the Frame Size controls.
    If you fail to do this, you would end up with the wrong aspect being applied. You may also have to pad your video, using the "Output Image Inset (Padding) controls as well to maintain your 16x9 aspect on a 4x3 aspect.

  • Playback control actions

    Hi there - can anyone help me with the playback control is
    captivate.
    I have a captivate demo that i am loading into a flash movie,
    via an empty movie clip on the flash time line, with a loadMovie
    command in flash. What i want to be able to do is to create either
    a javascript command, or some kind of action that will , upon
    pressing the close button in the captivate move - a) close the
    captivate swf, b) send the flash movie to a certain frame in the
    timeline, and play.
    I have tried importing the captivate demo into Flash 8 - the
    results are dissapointing as you lose the caption fades, mouse
    movements, and strangely, the alignment of the text in the caption
    boxes. I would liek to keep the smoothness of the .swf from
    captivate, but also have the movie close upon the user pressing the
    close button.
    Thanks

    I don't know how to solve this, but imagine the issue is
    this:
    The Lectora controls likely suppose the SWF is one long
    timeline.
    Captivate SWFs are movie clips in movieclips with all sorts
    of layering.
    So that's likely why the Lectora controls don't work...on the
    other
    hand, I've never used Lectora so maybe you can specify the
    object
    relationship they're trying to control.
    The question about the audio is likely related to how an
    'event' audio
    clip will not stop when the timeline is stopped and will
    likely run out
    of sync. A 'streamed' audio clip will work as you expect. I
    don't know
    how CP publishes the audio, but would assume 'stream'.
    Best solution, unless Lectora can help, is to NOT use Lectora
    controls
    on the CP SWF but use the CP controls (skin) that are
    published with the
    CP SWF by default... ?
