Quicktime .mov Video Thumbnails... possible?

Notice how a Video File in Windows will show a Thumbnail of the Video when Explorer is set to Thumbnail View...
+(I do NOT mean in iTunes)+
Is there any way to display Video Thumbnails w/ QT .mov files in Explorer or Finder?

Hi, Lamont.
I had the same problem, which is quite unpleasant when yo work with video and you have dozens of folders with lots of clips out of control... viewing them as preview in the comlums view mode is just too slow! and using iphoto to organize video (which creates thmbnails, but only inside the app) is no use... but i found an small application to create thumbnails (for image, video, pdf, etc) that works pretty fine. You just drag and drop the files over it, and it creates all the thumbnails in seconds.
You can download it here: http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
But one wonders why the most advanced os in the world doesn't do that by itself already...

Quicktime .mov video but no audio

Running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with QuickTime 10.1.
I can play .mov video but have no audio nor volume control next to play button.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Tried what you mentioned in the last post. I checked the Quicktime folder in both machines and they match exactly.
As an experiment, I tried copying the contents of the Quicktime folder of the G5 to the MacBook pro after re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2 again... and NOTHING! Still get just a blank white screen and audio.
When I do the "Get info" from Quicktime, it tells me the format is: HDV 1080i60
I really thought copying the contents, ALL the contents, was really going to do it! I'm losing my mind at this point!
Again, thank you so much for the help... In the meantime, I will endeavor to persevere!

How do I edit Quicktime .mov video file in CS5 Extended ?

Hi !
I'm a photographer using Photoshop CS 5 Extended and editing video using Apple Final Cut Pro 7 NLE editing studio.
I'd like to edit video footage in CS5 Extended. I have a Quicktime video .mov file that was shot with a Canon 5D2 and Canon 15mm fisheye lens and i would like to defish the footage to rectilinear using Photoshops Lens Correction Filter.
I have tried opening the movie file in CS5 Extended and it appears as a video layer in my layers window. I can defish the first frame (according to Animation palette), but the lens correction needs to be over the whole footage not just the first frame.
How do i do this and then output retouched / defished .mov file ?
I assume you can use a similar process to clone out dust spots in footage too ?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated ... thanks ...

Wow ! That was a speedy reponse ... thankyou !
I didn't realise i needed to convert into a smart object ... I tried that and it works !
Woohoo !!
Only problem is ... the 10 second QT .Mov file has changed from 65Mb file size to 2.2Gb. It looks similar quality and the Quicktime settings were just default (High).
Any idea why file is sooooo big ?! Or how I can reduce it without losing too much quality ? Can't quite understand why the file size has ballooned and would be a problem editing it in Final Cut Pro 7.
Thanks again ...

Can I cut & past MOV videos with QuickTime Pro ?

I have a couple of DigiCam Quicktime MOV videos which I want to cut & paste.
Is this possible with a QuickTime Pro installation (under WinXP) ?
Is there any other alternative software which let me do such simple tasks with Quicktime MOV videos?
Peter

Yes.
QuickTime Player Pro allows editing of nearly any format it can "play". MPEG-1 can be viewed but not edited.

Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Alfred

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
@="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]
"AppX55e91fphzr8a583p8cbxv7jpr8bk6xb9"=hex(0):
"AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt"=hex(0):
"WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"=hex(0):
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]

New HD Video + "old" Quicktime Movies

I want to purchase an HD camcorder. Vixia HF M30.
I have existing Quicktime movies saved as standard video - and will make more standard videos in software named Anime Studio.
Can I edit (combine) HD video and standard video in a iMovie project? Can the source video clips be of differing resolution?

The support article you refer to is for iTunes for Windows and is not applicable to Mac OS X. QuickTime is part of Mac OS X and is always installed, though with earier versions of Mac OS X it's possible to not have it current. That's not a factor if you have OS X 10.7.2.
I don't have a solution at this time, but I wanted to at least point out that the article wasn't applicable. Someone else here may have suggestions.
Regards.

Is it possible to put a photo overlay on top of a QuickTime movie?

Is it possible to put a photo overlay on top of a QuickTime movie?
Here's what I want to happen...... Once the QT arrow controller is clicked, then the overlay photo would disappear and the QT movie would play.
I tried to put the QT movie file in a table then place a photo as the background image, but it didn't work.
Anyone know how this can be done?

Easy using QuickTime Pro.
Size the image file to the dimensions of your QuickTime file.
Open the image with QuickTime Pro.
Select all (Command-a) and Copy (Command-c).
Switch to your QuickTime .mov file. Place the controller at the first frame.
Paste (Command-v) and Save As (self contained).
To give your still image file a bit of "time" add it (scaled) to a few seconds of audio and then "extract" the new video track.

FCP export to "QuickTime Movie" distorts aspect ratio of all text, displays video correctly.

Hi you all,
My name is Alexander, I'm from Belgium.
I'm working on Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, on a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, running version 10.7.2 of Mac OS X (Lion).
I'm editing a 'making of' of a Flemish feature film. I shot this 35 minute documentary short with my own Canon HDV-camcorder (XH-A1). The Final Cut Pro-project is stored on an external hard drive (1 TB LaCie Minimus).
I've been doing exports to "QuickTime Movie" for years now, without any problems, but since a week or two, FCP started messing up the titles over the video - and the titles only. Their aspect ratio is messed up once exported, but they look just fine in the FCP Timeline (in Viewer, I can verify that the aspect ratio of the titles is always "0"). I'm trying to export this to "HDV - 720p25".
Here's a comparison between the two:
As you can see: the MOV has the titles' aspect ratio all weird, the upper one partly covering the lower one. All titles and text in the docu come out like this, but the video (and audio) is exported correctly.
Any ideas on how to solve this very annoying problem?
Many thanks!!
Alexander

Hi Studio X,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The producers of the film want to upload this making of-documentary on YouTube. Therefore, I need to give them a high-quality-mov with the least possible Megabites. My film has a 35 minute running time.
So I figured: Let's start with the 'smallest' high-quality FCP-export to begin with (HDV-720p25), and throw that one in Compressor, in order to end up with a 'small' but good looking H.264-MOV for YouTube.
But for some reason, those "HDV-720p25"-exports mess up the titles. And I can't figure out why.

Bringing Quicktime movies or iphoto slideshows into ipod video

Thanks!

Is there a way to change the thumbnails for movies/videos?

This may be more of a Leopard question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the thumbnail that OSX and Front Row display of movie files. I think this feature is awesome but would love to have more control over it so I can pick a frame from the video that relevant to me. Imagine Front Row's menu for movies with a bunch of thumbnails that are title screens or your favorite scenes from your movie collection (rather than a random thumbnail that may or may not even be identifiable to that movie).
I've already included this request to Apple in a suggestion I sent along including a few other Front Row requests/suggestions I had including movie/video playlists, album art support over streaming/shared libraries, and music that doesn't stop playing when you return to the main menu.

It appears that "saving" doesn't impact the quality, but wraps the file up in the .mov format (size and quality appear to stay the same). It worked ("saving" instead of using the save as a reference movie seems to fix the starting playback from the poster-frame issue). However, now a new issue has come up... I like to save the files to DVD as the original .avi so they will play on our Philips DVD players. However, being wrapped up in .mov means I have to have two versions of the file, and if my HDD ever dies or fills up I'll have to always correct the poster frame, and save another copy from the .avi original. Kind of frustrating... I wish Front Row/Quick Time would let you easily change the thumbnail and not have to change the format, etc.
Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully some of this feedback has helped others with similar questions.

Embeded videos in keynote don't play when exported as a quicktime movie

I have a keynote presentation with videos in it. I want to export it as a QuickTime movie but when I do the videos do not play. What do I need to do to resolve this?

Exactly the same issue for me. Went to Snow Leopard and now the videos won't play in Iphoto. Software update is up to date, tried to manually install Quicktime again but it won't let me as it's already on the HD. Tried to delete it and try again but it doesn't seem to be working. Some help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
T.

I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync. They work fine when played in Quicktime.

Hello,
I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program. It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

mbgoodwi
Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
the Render button above the Timeline.
Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
- QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one. iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
Anyone else see similar behavior? Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

Exporting an album with stills and video as a Quicktime movie in iPhoto 8.1.2

Hello,
Running iPhoto 8.1.2 here.
We have created an album that contains still images (~300) and several videos. All of the videos were taken on a iPhone then we imported them to iPhoto. Videos are interspersed between the photos. We need to export this so that it can play at a nephew's celebration. Not sure what type of computer it would be running on, so figured QuickTime format is the safest.
When we try to export this as a QuickTime only the still photos export. The videos are not included. I recall doing this in the past and having it work. Is there something I am missing?
Kim

Thank you for answering this, Terence. That worked. I was able to export as Slideshow, but for some reason only the .m4v version will open. When I export as QuickTime .mov, QuickTime can't then open the file (??).
