Quicktime Movie embedding in CS3

Back in my go live days if I wanted to embed a movie I just
dropped QT icon in the file, then pointed to the source file and
had options right there to set auto play, show controller, and all
the other good things you can do with QuickTime movies.
CS3 seems to want to force me to use flash, because anything
to do with Quicktime requires a bunch of hand coding. So am I
wrong? I hate to have to jump out to another html editor just to
embed my QT files. I can't believe that Dreamweaver can't even read
the size of the QT movie.

I just drag and drop the file. It utilizes the <embed>
tag but that is not flash. I have not found a way for it to
automatically know the dimensions, so I"ve just learned. I use a
lot of 320x240 vids on my site so I type the dimensions 320x255
into the W/H of the video properties. this opens it up enough for
the controller. You cna play to test or just upload.
Key...add 15 px to the bottom for the controller.

No transparency in my Quicktime movies in AE CS3 -- help

I'm rendering a set of animated captions on a transparent background. I need to drop them over existing video, so I need to maintain their transparency. I am, rendering them as QT movies, as animation, RGB+Alpha, millions + colors, straight: Unmultiplied. I can render a png sequence and hold the transparency, but I cannot get a quicktime movie to stay transparent. I get a black background. Can the Avid import the Quick time and key out the black? Am I doing something wrong. Importing the PNG sequence takes forever -- I have to ftp it across town and it toook an hour just to load onto the ftp site! Is rendering out to PNG sequences my only option. Why am I unable to get a transparent qt movie? ARGGGHHH!! I read on here that re-loading Quicktime might help? Has that worked for anyone? Is that the trouble? Anyone? Help?

Well, what's the settings in the Avid? By default it will invert the Alpha, you may need to invert it in the Alpha key's settings by ways of the effect editor. Also make sure to choose the Alpha in the first place. If it's not been selected on import in the options, it will never appear once the system has converted the clip.

Quicktime movies embedded in Keynote fail to play in 10.7.4

After updating to 10.7.4, i find I can no longer get movies to play that are embedded in my keynote presentations, when in display mode. When in editing mode, I can get them to play manually.
Any suggested workaround?

I solved my problem by cleaning out all the relevant files and directories in ~/Library/Cache

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

After 10.6.8. Quicktime movies on my website won't play. Others on iMac, ipad even PC no problem. There is no way to install other version as they are all earlier. Message says I may need to install additional download? What?

HELP! I have a MacBook Pro purchased 12/10. My website has two quicktime movies embedded. After 10.6.8. these website movies will not play on my computer.
NO ONE Else has the problem. I can play the movies from a file on my MacBook Pro purchased 12/10. Movie works on my ipad and iphone. Friends with iMac, PC etc. have no problem. ANy ideas? My website can't open them on my computer. I suspect there is lots of security stuff that is preventing the open.

http://208.64.141.26:8081/muzmark_test.mov
Nothing opens when that URL is opened in QuickTime Player.
True "Streaming" files require hint tracks be included in the file.

Safari 6.1 on MacOS 10.8.5 not play quicktime movies

Trying to view quicktime movies in Safari brings up the Quicktime Q graphic with a big question mark. Safari->Help-> Installed Plug-Ins includes:
QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.1
The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site. — from file “QuickTime Plugin.plugin”.
in the list of plug ins and the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder does have the file "QuickTime Plugin.plugin".
I have tried downloading the older Quicktime Player 7.app and then rebooting the computer and I still cannot view the Quicktime movies in Safari. I can view the quicktime movies in Firefox (version 24.0).
I have also deleted the items in the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
rebooting and relaunching Safari all with negative results.
All of these have been suggested by people in previous postings dating back to Fall 2012 or earlier, so I'm out of ideas.
Is there anything else I should try?
Running Safari 6.1 on Mac OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Well, this was on webpages I had created as lecture slides for my classes. I've just discovered that Safari acts differently if I view other websites than if I view webpages on my own computer's harddrive. If I put an example page on the webserver
http://www2.bakersfieldcollege.edu/nstrobel/astronomy/s3test.htm
and bring it up in Safari, I can see the quicktime movie in Safari.
When I view the same webpage (s3test.htm) that has the quicktime movie embedded in it on my local harddrive, Safari displays the shaded Quicktime logo with the big question mark.
Why Safari should care whether the webpage is on some webserver vs. having the same file and graphics on the local computer harddrive is beyond me.
Since all of my lecture slides are webpages I have created, I'd like to know what hooks or coding I now need to put in the html to get Safari to display the movies in my lecture slide webpages on my local computer's harddrive.
Here's the very simple html code for the s3test.htm file:
============
<html>
<head>
<title>Sun's Interior</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>The Sun is entirely hot gas all the way to the center.</h2>
<center>
<embed src="circS10.mov" width="640" height="500" loop="true"></embed>
</center>
<H2>Interior</H2>
<UL>
          <LI>
            <h3>Core: 16 million K and density 20 times greater than iron but still gaseous!
              Energy generated here in the innermost 10% of the Sun's mass.
      </h3>
          <LI>
            <h3>Radiative Zone:
      Photons carry energy outward. About 85% of the Sun's radius.</h3>
          <LI>
            <h3>Convection Zone: Photons blocked, so huge chunks of gas carry energy outward to surface. Outer 15% of
the Sun's radius.</h3>
          <LI>
            <h3><em>Photosphere: </em>here the photons finally escape to space. The part we see. Only 500 kilometers thick.
About 5840 K.</h3>
</UL>
</body>
</html>
===========
That code works just fine if I put the s3test.htm + circS10.mov quicktime movie files on the www2.bakersfieldcollege.edu webserver (or any other webserver), but it does not work if the files are on my local harddrive. Firefox works fine either way.

Black frame in embedded quicktime movies in Keynote when exporting to quicktime movie

I've included some quicktime movies made in Photoshop in my Keynote presentation. When viewing the Keynote presentation from within keynote, the movie play perfectly. However when I export the presentation to a Quicktime move, the first or last frame of the embedded movie is black creating a flicker effect on play.
The quicktime movies have been embedded as loopable animations using the animation build in function 'Start movie' (after transition with 0 delay).
Is there a setting that will prevent the black frame on export or is this a bug?

Embedding quicktime movie in portlet?

Thanks Daniel. Your suggestion was correct.
In order to access the quicktime movie file I had to use the following path:

My guess would be that the path to "sample.mov" is different depending on
whether you access
the page directly or the portlet is included within the overall Portal

As an experiment, try changing the URL to an absolute path, or copying the
file into the same location as your other portal resources.

Quicktime movies corrupted by adding metadata in Adobe CS3

Recently I happened to switch from using Adobe CS2 to CS3 (don't ask me why, I know they're old versions). I use Adobe Bridge to manage/organize my digital photos and movie files from my digital camera. In CS2, whenever I attempted to select multiple files to annotate with metadata such as description, location, etc., the program would warn me that "some files" in the selection (i.e., the Quicktime .MOV files) could not contain metadata. So I would click OK, continue to annotate the batch, and Bridge would simply exclude the .MOV files and only add the metadata to the photos. When I started using Bridge CS3, I noticed that the warning dialogue box no longer came up. At first I was pleased, and thought, Great, now it's OK to add metadata to my movies as well! But not long after, I started noticing a problem where some of my .MOV files were no longer playable, even though they had been fine immediately after download. Since I only add metadata to about a quarter of my files, it took me a while to see the pattern: Adding metadata to the .MOV files does in fact corrupt them and make them unplayable in Quicktime. CS3 was not doing me any favors by suppressing the old warning! I knew the movies were fine since I had already played them before, but the moment they were assigned metadata, Quicktime refused to recognize the files.
Now that I know the problem I am very vigilant about not adding metadata to movies anymore, of course, but I need to salvage the already corrupted movies, since some of them are precious to me, such as my daughter's birthday videos. I have tried various workarounds such as attempting to convert them to another format with video conversion software, but the conversion software also can't recognize the files now. The best luck I have had is that I can still play the movies using a program called VLC, so I know the essential data is not ruined, it's all still there. And when I have tried a couple of diagnostic tools, they are able to extract the images and recognize the file -- but not able to restore it to its original form. I have also tried deleting the metadata, in Bridge, but that doesn't help. Does anyone know of a method or a program that can help me restore these as Quicktime files? It appears that there are services out there that will charge a lot of money to repair corrupted files, but I really think this should not be so hard or expensive. The integrity of the movies is still there, everything is intact, there's just been a line of code inserted somewhere that shouldn't be there I suppose. I wish I could get in there and delete it myself. It's great that VLC has no problem playing them, but as long as these are unusuable as Quicktime files, I can't send them to my family, upload them to video-sharing sites, etc.
Thanks, anyone, for your help.

I don't know how to fix what was already modified, but in Premiere Preferences, there is a box that is checked by default, something about "Write XMP data" or similar, you'll want to uncheck that.
Thanks

Embedded Quicktime movies and DOM layering?

Is there any way to overlay something on top of a quicktime movie in a web page without the quicktime movie showing through it?
http://www.boozhowtooz.com/trailer
I have a low res and high res version of a trailer where clicking the high res link overlays the movie in the a thickbox on the page. depending on the browser, the low res movie with show through the layer.
I've been searching the web for a solution but the best one I've found is to remove the low res movie with javascript when the high res link is clicked. not exactly ideal but doable if that's the only thing that works.
Is this a general problem with the quicktime plugin and dom layering?

I'm sorry for saying that David, but you are not right in this point. You would have right if you say that every web page embedded object (flash, quicktime, activx, etc.) has a parameter (wmode, window mode) which is set to true by default. BUT if you are using flash object (flash video) you can set the wmode parameter - as far as I know there are no other embeddable objects which accept this parameter.
And I think it's a bug, and not in browsers but (in this case) in Quicktime - I can't understand why Apple can't solve this problem. It's one key problem why most web developers (neither I) can't use QT on more complex web pages or in web applications. Easy examples:
__ you can't drop a popup over a QT video (you can do it with a Flash video)
__ you can't embed QT into fixed header/footer web pages with scrolling content (it overflows the header/footer
__ you can't put any navigation over QT objects (imagine the situation: I'm working on an UI which has self slide-bar to navigate within a video, you can add/remove annotations, logs, messages etc. and not for just one video but for more synchronized ones > you I'll need a scroll-bar to display all of these, but if you scroll the videos 'under' the navigation hides the navigation...)
So to conclude this short message: In my opinion this is a big problem with Quicktime, and I'm wondering why such a big company like Apple can't manage this problem (probably the web 'market' of QT is not big enough - in fact this is an issue why web developers don't like QT embeds...)
Thanks.

Embedding Quicktime Movies in a webpage

Hi,
I have a lot of quicktime movies stored on a server.
I'd like to create a page on the fly somehow, so the movie is
embedded in the webpage.
Is there something similar to Verity that can do this?
Can anyone think how I could go about this?
Basically I want to setup my own youtube site.
Thanks in advance

Let us assume that you have a table with name and URL fields
in order to store your media file information.
You can get your query via CF from database and make an
output and generate your dynamic HTML page.
Such as
<cfoutput query="myMediaQuery">
<img src="#url#" alt="#name#" />
<br />
#name#
<br />
<br />
</cfoutput>
This is a simple example for image output. You just need to
use this kind of output for your media file.
I hope it is clear.

Embedding a quicktime movie

hi, i'm struggling to load a .swf with an embedded quicktime
mov into my flash page using the preloader + loader components in
flash mx 2004!
i've followed the help: "To create an application with the
ProgressBar component in event mode:..."
the loader works but the sound in the embedded mov starts
playing before the visuals - pls help!!!
this is the code on the 1st frame of the original SWF to load
the SWF with the embedded .mov:
stop();
loader.autoLoad = false;
loader.contentPath = "graphics/sponsjan_clip.swf";
pBar.source = loader;
// loading does not start until load() is invoked
loader.load();
and here's the final page:
http://www.thebornkreative.com/promo/SponsJanBlokBroekies.htm

Incomplete answer:
You want to "kiosk" that movie via Powerpoint?
Have you tested the Powerpoint presentation with embedded movie on another machine aside from the one which originated it?
If you can do it on the Mac - with Powerpoint looping it, it should be the same on Windows.
+Disclaimer: I haven't done this in a long time, I do not use Powerpoint on a Mac, thus+
+my info might be outdated.+
I believe on windows, (in the past this was true)
you need that asset file being linked to from Powerpoint, in a folder - on that Windows machine
and that it may not be automatically packaged with the Powerpoint you are transferring.
If you must do this via Powerpoint, check to see if the linked file made the trip to the player machine.

Export embedded quicktime movies to html slideshow?

I'm trying to make an html slideshow of a keynote presentation that has embedded quicktime movies. The movies just get saved as single png images. Is there a workaround or something obvious I am overlooking?
Since iPhoto lets you do this, I would assume it isn't impossible, but perhaps it just isn't implemented within keynote (which seems kind of backward).

Thanks. I was afraid that was the case, but a former apple VP suggested I ask since there are many apparently undocumented features (and iPhoto/iWeb can do this, so the api exists).
The relevent html code is actually a java script that loads an array of exported png files. Each element of the array is defined like this:
images[2] = "mrnahh.html_files/mrnahh.003.png";
so I tried just telling it to load a mov file instead, but it wasn't so easily fooled. It might be easier for me to make a slideshow of the png files and mov files within iWeb (which really makes messy html and javascripts that are next to impossible to hack.)
Anyway, many thanks. I'll leave this open for now in case someone else knows a simple secret.
The HTML export feature is great, and produces nice clean simple interfaces and web code. I hate to abandon it.

Keynote does not support exporting with embedded Quicktime Movies

I hope this helps a few of you out before you run into this problem.
Keynote does not support export to Quicktime with any slides that contain a quicktime movie.
Created a 27 page slide show with transitions, music, narrations and 6 Quicktime movies (Actually LiveType Text scrolls)
When I attempted to export it never finishes the export cutting it short after about 20 pages.
And the pages with the movies, don't start playing.
It exports fine as a quicktime movie without the movies inserted though.
Spoke with Apple Support and they confirmed that quicktime placed files within Keynote playback is only supported from the native Keynote Application.
I read somewhere on this board that it was an issue with Quicktime version 7.5, not so as I tried the same test on a mac with Quicktime 7.42 and it had the same issue.
So, beware.
LJS

Maybe I didn't understand well what you said but it is possible to export a Keynote file with embedded Quicktime movies to a quicktime movie. Actually, I'm doing it and I works. BUT, the issue I get is that I can't get my embedded videos to loop. Grrr...
