Quicktime Movie Shows Up With ? Mark

I recently moved my iWeb Site to Godaddy and now all of my Movies show up with a ? and won't play.

OK, here goes... haven't had my coffee yet this morning and this isn't my strongest area, but anyway...

This should be your movie, but it's not there. Check to see if you uploaded it.
Also the name of the file has a space at the beginning of it, thus the %20 in the name.
I would remove the space, reinsert the movie(s), republish, reupload to GoDaddy.

Making Quicktime slide shows (videos) with Windows

Hello. With the Mac platform, I am able to use my photo program, iPhoto, export photos from it and make a Quicktime slide show (video, with accompanying music from my music program, iTunes. Is this also possible with Windows, ie: where would the 'Export' command be and how would music be integrated into it? Any other helpful comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can open many different audio and image formats with the Windows version of QuickTime Pro. To assemble a slide show of still images you could open a folder of liked sized, sequentially named images and add that new file "scaled" to the audio track.
You could also open the audio track and "add scaled to selection" your individual image files. This method would allow you set the duration of each slide to different values but would limit your show to 98 images (99 track limit).
This method could also use different image dimensions, different "offsets", transparency "blends" and mask layers. Depending on your intended distribution format you could make HD sized QuickTime movies with multiple images displaying simultaneously (Brady Bunch style).

HELP. Quicktime Movies from FCP with DVCPro = Black Boxes across image.

When exporting my HD movie from Final Cut Pro (5) using either Quicktime Movie or Quicktime COnversion with the footage's native setting of DVCPro HD 720p the resulting movie has thick black rectangles on the left and right sides and one right in the middle.
Is it a codec issue?
Please help.

It is a 16X9 CROP, not some sort of anamorphic distortion... so just choose that, and export...
If you set it to be 320X180 THAT will distort it. It should start as 320X240. The crop then results in 320X180. If it's new software it's Compressor 3.

HD quicktime movie create page with iweb and host externally?

I made a 3
min HD movie the file is 1.5gig I have an account with
blue host that allows me 300gigs of space. I uploaded the movie no problem.
Now i want to make a web page with a link to that movie using iweb.
So in other words i design the simple page on i web and than upload it to
bluehost. How do I size a quicktime movie to be the correct size example
852x480? on the templates the movies are to small?

How did you fit a 1.5GB file into 300MB's of space?
What viewer is going to wait two or three hours (weeks on dial-up) to view a 3 minute file?
Your best solution is to link to file and let your viewers download it. Just use the complete URL as your link.

Quicktime movie showing as 0:00 seconds

I'm using Keynote 08, OS X 10.4.11, and Quicktime 7.5, and when I try to import .avi or .mov files, nothing works. The first frame is displayed, but nothing more. When I click on the media icon, it shows that the movies are 0:00 seconds long.
I already tried checking the "Allow Exposé" in the slideshow preferences, and that didn't help. After combing through the previous posts, I'm not finding the exact issue, at least related to my current operating system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

For some reason, when I put in Quicktime videos manually (Insert-->Choose), it works fine. The media button only works for pictures and songs. Even though this is very odd, it still gets the job done.

Quicktime movie wont share with iTunes

When I try to share my movie with iTunes it appears in music as a .m4v but not in movies. Audio plays fine but there is no video.
I have tried creating the .m4v via the menu and short cut icon from QT. I have tried using import to library and drag and drop to get the file into iTunes.
The movie is a home recording. Edited in FCE and then exported as a QT movie.
I am running OSX 10.7.5, QT Player 10.1 and iTunes 11.0.4
Any ideas?

I should have said that previously I have been able to import home movies into iTunes.
You used to be able to import AVI wrapped movies into iTunes also—but not any more. Basically, iTunes has become more and more a "funnel" for mobile files compressed specificly for mobile device (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch) and TV playback. You used to able import almost any non-muxed format to iTunes that was compatible with your system's QT codec component configuration and it would play in the QT 7 based version of iTunes. Unfortunately, as part of the transition from QT 7 to QT X technologies, iTunes itself has been modified to limit what it will accept. For instance, I just ran a fiew quick tests and found that DV/DV (DV), DVCPRO/PCM (MOV), MJPEG/AAC (MJPG or MOV), and PNG/AAC (MOV) files no longer import to the latest version of iTunes under Mountain Lion. So, to say the least, Apple is continuing to refine what iTunes can and cannot import in terms of compression formats and file types. That is probably why they added and expected users to employ the "Share with iTunes" export option—i.e., to not only send files to iTunes indirectly but to also ensure that the file received is in the default H.264/AAC (M4V) compressed data format and file type that iTunes expects to play, sync, and/or stream to other devices and/or computers.
How would I do this?
As always, that depends on your specific fork flow and needs. If you are saving your edited FCE content to a QT (MOV) file in its current (but as yet unstated) compression format because you need it for some other application in that compression format, then simply open the file in an app like the QT 7 or QT X player and share/export the content to iTunes or a specific iTunes device-compatible (iPhone, iPod, TV, Podcast, iTunes, etc.) preset and import the new file to iTunes manually or import automatically. If the sole use of the file is iTunes, then you can export an iTunes compatible file directly from FCE.

Quicktime movies playing sound with no picture (only in firefox)

Hi There,
I'm having a weird issue with quicktime in firefox on apple macs. I'm not really familiar with macs and I was wondering if someone can offer a solution? When I visit the page in firefox on a mac the video plays sound but not the picture. This seems to happen to all firefox browsers that I have tested.
I have a test link here for people to look at. http://www.wellcom.net.au/quicktime.aspx

To Apple Discussions!
Thank you for providing the link for others to test for you. A got a flash video which I had no problem viewing with sound. The picture did take a few seconds to appear. However, the sound came in right away. Here is the direct video link: http://www.wellcom.net.au/images/movingimages/BookCity.mp4
Picture & sound was instant from the .mp4 link.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software, repair permissions & restart your computer.
If the above does not work, then please advise which version of FireFox you are using?

Embed Quicktime movie... with a twist.

Hey, quick question.
I am trying to embed a video into a web page and found some source code to do so. This is a "Click to play" video, so I got everything working except for one thing...
On my other movie pages where they autoload, I can choose to resize the videos (for example, my movie files' native size is 320x240, but I have them play at 640x480) and I can hide the controller. My question is- is there any way to resize the video and hide the controller for a movie that you have to click to play? Otherwise I would have to re-export a video at 640x480, and it seems like it would just be easier if I could use the one I already have. Thanks!

Alas. My PC has finally "died" (a gift) and I can't test the issues on one.
But, I suspect many.
Symantec Visual Page Mac Evaluation Version 1.1.1
Is listed as the page code software you've used. I don't notice any errors but you may want to invest in a more modern WYSIWYG editor (if your budget allows).
I don't "know" if the page code is interfering with a PC browser, or not. Have you tried using other PC browsers (something other than IE)? Do the troubles appear in these browsers?
The page code appear to use a mix and match code that leaves a space (and adds a closing tag) to each line in the object tag. It looks like this:
blah.something /> instead of blah.something>
You don't notice the errors in the only tag used by a Mac (the embed tag) and that is why I've reached this conclusion.
If you manually removed the (sort of redundant) closing tags (change /> to a plain > close tag does this new page work on a PC using IE?

Quicktime Movies not streaming with iWeb

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
When I created a movie using the Homepage feature in iLife05 the QT time movie starts playing immediately while it is downloading. See here:
http://homepage.mac.com/scarbrd/iMovieTheater17.html
I used iMovie in iLife06 and created a page for iWeb. This one does not stream like the older one. It downloads the entire movie beofre it starts playing.
http://web.mac.com/scarbrd/iWeb/Scarbroughs/Y%202%20K.html
Both of these movies are in the same .mac account.
In iMovie06, I used the "Share" feature and choose iWeb.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.

The "streaming" feature refers to movies that are going to be broadcast from a QT Streaming Server. If you are hosting on .Mac you are not using a Streaming Server. What you want is progressive download where it mimics streaming, but it is actually allowing the viewer to view the movie as it downloads to their local machine (in the web browser's cache).
To do this, just enable Fast Start Compressed Header in the options.
Oh, and if you use the Streaming option, the movie has little "hints" added to it and that makes the file much larger than it should be. So, you might want to re-export the movie and post it again.

Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD, Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD

Hello,
So I've just finished a 30 minute long project on Final Cut Express. I want to get this project onto a DVD-R (holds 4.7 GB) so I can get it to a television station where it will be aired. I exported the project to my desktop as a Quicktime file. The file is 22 GB. This doesn't seem right. What do I need to compress this file to get it onto a DVD-R with minimal loss of quality? I used iDVD to get a 36 minute version of this project onto DVD and it worked great. The thing is, if I'm giving the 30 minute version to a television station, the movie shouldn't have the interactive DVD title screen at the beginning, so I need to find another way to compress the movie. Any advice?? Thanks.

Hi
To get Maximum quality over to TV-Station - I would Copy back to miniDV tape (100% quality) and let them use a Camera or tape-deck to play it.
(BTW - DVD is as standard SD-Video - so HD material will not be any better - in some cases it even get worse)
Else if DVD is a must.

Why did our standard format Quicktime movie switch to widescreen preview in iDVD?

We created wedding videos on Final Cut Express 2 and converted them to Quicktime movies. When you play the videos in Quicktime, they show up in standard format (not widescreen). When we put the movies into iDVD 7.1.2, one of the movies shows up as widescreen and the other stays in standard format. We want them in standard format (which is how they were shot).
Any suggestions?

Hi
When You make a brand new iDVD project - Select DV - not Widescreen-DV
In iDVD top menu Project/Project info - Here too - You may be must select 4x3 size.
And how You go from FinalCut to iDVD matters - My notes on this.

How to have multiple movies show in same window on same web page

Hi folks,
Here's what I mean: I have a web page with several pix on left side, and an embedded QT player window on the right. I want my users to click on one of the pix, and the associated quicktime movie shows up in the player window and starts playing (see player code below--pretty standard).
So far, the only way I can think of to do this is to have multiple identical pages, the only difference being each one of them has a different movie in the "embed source" tag (so when you click on one of the pics it takes you to the new page, but to the user it will appear as if it's the same page).
But for ease of modifying this page in the future (which I'll be doing a lot), I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Anyone know of a way to do this, using scripting or...??
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
player code:
object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" name="movietitle" alt="quicktime movie player" width="320" height="256">
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />

This is beyond anything I have ever tried. But I think I know what you have in mind, and you should be able to do it using JavaScript. I did it with still images on this page:
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2005/ohfair2.html
You would need to give the movie container a name so that you can access it from JavaScript, and you have the added problem of needing to control the QuickTime object from JavaScript. Have a look at the QuickTime JavaScript API; it might be helpful:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicktime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaSc ript/index.html
In spite of the code on that gallery page I linked above, I really don't speak JavaScript, and I barely understand how my own code works. But I think JavaScript will allow you to do what you want to do, and you can probably even write a custom controller for the movie right into your web page.

QuickTime movie in Keynote 3 want to export Keynote as QT

So I have a Keynote presentation. It is mostly images but 3 slides play small Quicktime movies. Interviews I did on DV, converted to 320x240 using Sorenson V3 and IMA 4:1 audio. In Keynote 3.0, they now have controls. They play great.
But I need to export the presentation so others can use it without keynote.
The only option seems to be exporting it as as a Quicktime movie.
Actually, with trial and error, the Quicktimes in the Quicktime play great. BUT are missing controls!
So anyone viewing the interactive Quicktime from a CD-R has no choice but to watch each clip. Longest is 17 minutes so a pause or stop is an option that is needed.
Does anyone know how to get those QT controls (or at least stop or pause) into the movie inside the exported interactive Quicktime from Keynote?
Is there a 3rd party solution? I'm desperate.
Alternatively, if anyone knows how to do same but as a Flash file, that would be fine too.
This was problem in Keynote 2.0 as well. My presentation size is big enough.
Considering the convergence of audio and video all over Apple product line, I just don't get why this was not considered for the 3.0 update. I want to export my lectures for students to self run. I'm probably not the only university professor who shows video and would like Apple to deal with this ASAP.

If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

Hello
In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...
