Quicktime movies in powerpoint

We have found that movies that play fine in Macintosh Powerpoint do not play in Windows Powerpoint. The same movies play fine with Quicktime Player in Windows. Is there a fix for this problem?

PowerPoint for Windows versions 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003 allow you to insert QuickTime movies upto version 2.5 or any QuickTime movie that's rendered with the QuickTime Cinepak codec - unfortunately, newer QuickTime formats are not natively supported. In such a scenario, you can either link to a QuickTime movie as an object or convert your QuickTime movie to the AVI format or an older QuickTime format.

How to play a Quicktime movie in Powerpoint 2010

Powerpoint 2010 is supposed to be able to play Quicktime movies as long as Quicktime Player is installed on the computer. I have the player installed but the MOV video won't play. My Powerpoint is 32-bit, running on 64-bit Windows 7. According to what I've read the Quicktime needs to be 32-bit as well for this to work, but I don't know if the player I have installed is 32-bit or 64-bit. Any suggestions?

Hi,
There may be 2 scenarios for this:
1. The logo animation in the logo.swf is within a movieclip and has a stop() function called in the last frame.
Solution:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var logoSWF:MovieClip;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playLogo);
function loadLogo() {
    var url:String = "logo.swf";
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    timer.start();
    var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo( event.currentTarget );
    logoSWF = MovieClip( loader.content );
    addChild(logoSWF);
function playLogo(event:Event=null):void {
    logoSWF.logo.play(); //"logo" is the instance name in logo.swf
loadLogo();
2. The logo animation in the logo.swf in in the main timeline and has astop() function in the main timeline.
Solution:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loader:Loader;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playLogo);
function loadLogo() {
    var url:String = "logo1.swf";
    loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    timer.start();
    var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo( event.currentTarget );
    addChild(loader.content);
function playLogo(event:Event=null):void {
    MovieClip( loader.content ).play();
loadLogo();
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards

Importing a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong: when i import a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie the background goes orange... and i cannot get it to go white again... help! please!

Thanks for the link. We still had a the problem, but we found a woork around. It seem that if the power point has any sound in it then it only imports the sound. So we took all the sound out and then it imported fine. Then we put the sound back in and imported that so that then we had the sound effects. Any way it works! Thanks!

How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks!

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!

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:

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.

Quicktime insertion to Powerpoint

I am inserting movies into a powerpoint presentation. When I am in the editing window the movie will be present in an image with editing dots and at other times a different movie will be present with only the editing dots and no image. Movies are in the same format. Any reason for this?

I seem to remember years ago PowerPoint being reasonably happy with QuickTime movies (this predated Mac OS X), however a year ago I tried this with PowerPoint 2004 and gave up in disgust.
I used Keynote instead and had zero problems.
PowerPoint 2008 looks like it might be a lot better in this and other areas, and in fact looks the most improved part of Office 2008, however the rest of Office 2008 looks like sucking so bad that I would still avoid it like the plague.
iWork '08 (includes Keynote, Pages and Numbers) is an absolute bargain compared to Office

Embedding Autofullscreen Looping Quicktime Movie

I need to embed a Quicktime Movie so that it opens up automatically in full screen, and loops when played. I do not want it to take up the size of the web browser but the size of the entire screen. This video will primarily be viewed using windows. I have tried putting my Quicktime Movie in a PowerPoint Show and set it to loop continuously. It worked on my Mac, but did not work on Windows. I am looking for a video player that will allow me to do this, I have Flash Professional CS5 installed, is there a way that I can do it on there?

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.

How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
Apple describes ProRes here:
About Apple ProRes
And in that document says:
"while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import, the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime movie rendering for time lapse does not work in CS4

Hey guys,
I m trying to render a time lapse video on PS CS4 and the process works well up until the export window. When i go there the first option under file options, quick time export, is unavailable( grayed out). The only available option is Image sequence. What do i have to do to enable the quicktime movie creation or any other movie format for that matter? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
For PS CS4, I assume that you have PS-Extended. Is that correct?
What OS/platform?
Do you have Apple's QT installed on that computer? If so, what version?
Good luck,
Hunt

Quicktime movies don't show in browser

Was having trouble with quicktime movies playing in Safari and Firefox. Each time I got the broken Q, I would restart the computer and it would work for a while. Upgraded to OS X(10.5) in hopes that might help. It didn't. No matter what I do no Quicktime in browser or a places like myspace. Any ideas?

Output quicktime movie choppy and less sharp than original

Goodmorning!
I am planning to make a stand alone movie of my footage that I can keep and watch on my iMac. My sequence was made on FCP 7 on 1920 x 1080 with Prores 422 codec.
I did a few tests with exporting to quicktime movie (standard settings), because I have read several times that converting this way results in more or less the same quality. When I compare the videoquality of the Quicktime movie with playing the footage on the timeline fullscreen (+view-external video-all frames+), I am very disappointed. Not only is the sharpness of the quicktime movie less than the original, the movie plays very choppy (not fluently at all) .
My question is: is that result to be expected? May I compare a quicktime movie with the original as described before?
Or maybe I should export the sequence in a more sophisticated way?
The quicktime outcome was about 30 seconds and resulted in a file of about 500 MB. My wish is that the size of the file will not be bigger.
I hope that you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Tom,
Three times "correct" to your three questions.
Opened the exported file in the QuickTime player, Movie Inspector said:
Structure: Apple ProRess 422 , 1920 x1080 (1888 x 1062) millions, 16-bit integer (little indian) Stereo 48000 khz
Bps: 25
Size: 561,7 MB
Speed: 118,53 Mbit/s
Current size: 1882 x 1058 pixels
If I run the sequence through JED deinterlacer, the movie gets a better flow. Of course the sharpness deminish a bit too.
I hope that you can help me.
Would export in H.264 be a better option?
Maybe the 25 Bps is too high? My Panasonic SD60 produces only 17 mb Mbps.

Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

Hiya everyone!
I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
The HDV files that won't open read as:
Source: *.mov
Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
Movie FPS: 25.00
Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
Data Size: 69.53 MB
Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
Current time: 00:00:01.64
Duration: 00:00:20.76
Normal size: 1920 x 1080
Current size: 1920 x 1080
Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7753066#7753066
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8159317&#8159317
My problem is almost identical to these 2...
No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?
-Kaiwin

As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
In the manual it says:
"Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
Total bit rate: 29,794
My exported file has this format:
Dimensions: 720 x 480
Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,151
I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.

Double check:
There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
Is this what you see?
The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions
