Quicktime movies on the dock

Hi,
On Tiger a quicktime movie would continue playing even while minimized, on Leopard however, it seems only the sound keeps playing, the picture is static. Is this intended?
Its not a big deal... its just something i noticed..
Thanks

Wow - yes that no longer works.
I personally didn't use that much, but was cool to show people nonetheless and did come in handy one time. Nice spot
The more I play with things, the more I am becoming increasingly disappointed and frankly, shocked at the apparent major bugs that made it into the shipping version of this new release. I'm really hoping that some big updates appear this coming week to address some of the biggest issues.
I plan on going back to Tiger tonight, mainly the graphics bugs on my Mac Pro/x1900 make it almost impossible to work on anything productive. But am hoping that if some of these issues are fixed, to come back to it again. There are also many features that were shown at the WWDC keynote (customizable Stacks come mind) that would have possibly made some aspects a bit easier to adjust to.
Right now though, Leopard feels so rough it's almost like the transition from OS 9 to 10.0.

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video
“Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
<pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock? It used to.

Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Any way to protect a quicktime movie on the net?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to make a quicktime movie NOT downloadable from the web.
I have a clip I would love to show on the web but I have to make 100% sure nobody is able to download and distribute it.
Is there any way? Kiosk Mode seems not to be too safe (at least this is what I heard)
thanks for your help

The kioskmode="true" html tag only removes the "download" part of the movie controller and would only keep QuickTime Pro users from downloading your file via the controller. It also prevents "drag and drop".
Any user could search through your page source code and find the URL to your QuickTime file. Dragging it to the "Downloads" window of Safari would allow them to keep a local copy.
"Streaming" media files (requires special server software to deliver) are the most difficult to capture. Because noting is locally cached the best an average user could do would be to save a reference copy of your file.
You could also use AppleScript to set internal flags inside the QuickTime .mov file as "un-editable". These flags can be reset using "hex editing" software but, again, beyond the scope of an average user. An example (one of mine):
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/
Notice that the html code "forces" the QuickTime Player app to open instead of playing in a browser window. You own "Pro". Take a look at the menu options under the File menu.
Notice that save, save as, export and share are unavailable?
It would also be very difficult to use a screen recording app to capture my movie "window".

Quicktime movies on the web

I have placed short quicktime movie clips on my website saved as H.264. Unfortunately some can see it others get nothing or just sound. File was originally created as DVCPro HD and exported as H.264 with 1000 bit rate and loaded on my site. Is there a particular format and settings to export with that everyone can view and that holds the same good quality as H.264

thanks.

Is there a particular format and settings to export with that everyone can view and that holds the same good quality as H.264
No such animal. No matter what compression format combination you use, there will always be someone out there who cannot or will not use the the required software to view your files. In the case of H.264/AAC, viewers are limited to those using QT 7 or an equivalent media player. MPEG4/AAC would allow you to extend compatibility back to QT 6 and equivalent players but it still does not guarantee any particular user will have the required software and means you would have to increase the video data rate to maintain the same level of quality. You will simply have to use whatever compression format you think will reach your primary target audience and not worry about the rest or offer the content in multiple compression formats and hope for the best.

Adding audio to a Quicktime movie (after the fact)

It's been so long since I've done this, can't remember how. And for some reason my Quicktime Player (Pro) help is completely zats, won't work.
Could someone remind me the 1,2,3 to add an audio track to a Quicktime movie? I'm actually wanting to strip the existing audio, and replace it with an audio done in Logic - much lower bitrate, but still very good quality.
All ears,
Ben

No problem.
On the Windows side of things, my help isn't working well either at the moment. Getting a bunch of page not found errors. I think the furniture might have been moved round on the Apple Website, and someone forgot to warn the QuickTime help.
(I'm not entirely sure how the QuickTime help works on the Mac side of things, so I'm not sure how relevant that is to your troubles, though ... can anyone else get their QuickTime help to work at the moment?)

Can I export Quicktime movies with the same quality/compression as DVD

I would like to export iMovie HD 6 projects as quicktime movies of about the same size, compresson level and quality as I get with iDVD. I would like to watch them on my macbook, but don't want the dvd interface. My attempts have tended to produce something close to full quality that requires too much disk space (10 to 12 G per hour) or tiny, overly compressed videos that only an ipod could love. Does anyone know how to set the custom settings to get this?

if your projects are Standard (=not HiDef), the iPhone preset in the export options work good for my standards..
or..
Export with Quicktime/Options... h264, original res of your project.. ='small' and good looking..

Quicktime movies on the ipad

I cannot play any Quicktime movies on the Internet Explorer. What can I do?

Hi, I always check in the movie trailer page on apple to enjoy some movie trailers, but, since a time ago, I cannot see any movie trailer on the internet explorer, when I got into the movie's trailer, it show a white question mark (?) above the Quicktime simbol (Q)and the trailer won't show, I uninstalled and reinstalled again the quicktime 7, but I still cannot see anything.
Can anyone help me to solve this??? There are now like a thousand trailer I haven't see because of this!! lol
Thanks,

I've posted this elsewhere, but I wasn't sure how to link your question to the other one....
I had the exact same problem and came across some instructions that helped me, so you might give these a try yourself:
1) open QuickTime Preferences
2) click the Browser tab
3) click the MIME Settings
4) select Miscellaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
5) uncheck Flash media (if it's already unchecked, then click the Use Defaults button at the bottom)
If that still doesn't fix the problem, continue with this:
1) within QuickTime Preferences, click the File Types tab
2) select Misceelaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
3) uncheck Flash media (or Use Defaults button if necessary)
For some reason, these two lists aren't linked to each other. So when you change one, it won't change the other automatically. There might be a feature to link the two, but I'm not aware of it at this time.
Also, be sure you have the latest Macromedia Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash)
Hope this helps!

Help with authoring and posting Quicktime movies on the web

Greetings all,
I recently launched a new website (www.articles-of-war.com) with a 'movie trailer' page (http://www.articles-of-war.com/pages/down_trai.html) similiar to the movie trailer pages on the Apple site.
The page has links to Quicktime movies of different sizes (small, medium, high, HD, etc). When I click any movie, though, it takes a long time for them to appear before they can play (the blue Quickime "Q" logo appears as the entire movie loads, for example), rather than playing almost immediately.
When I built the trailer pages, I made sure to set "autoplay" to "true."
When I authored the Quicktime movies, I used these settings:
H.264
Prepare For Internet Streaming (Fast Start)
Data Rate: Automatic
I'm sure I'm skipping some simple step to make these movies play right away - is there anyone that can offer some advice?

You lost the "fast start" feature when you added the annotations and then used a regular "Save".
Use "Save As" (QuickTime Pro) to restore the fast start feature and upload those new files again.
You should also consider a more modern audio codec than IMA 4:1 to reduce the size of your audio track.

After capturing, Quicktime movies are the wrong format

I recorded on my JVC GY-HD110U in 720p, 24 f/p/s. I'm trying to digitize it, and I went to FCP Easy set-up and set it up for HDV 720p-24 and hit "setup", and when I hit "now", my capture status window comes up, and I can see the footage being captured. Then when I hit escape however, and go to my browser, a clip only shows up half the time. When it doesn't show up, and I go to my capture scratch, and double click on the QT movie, it will say error opening movie. The other half of the time the QT opens and it works fine. I can't figure out why some work and some don't. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it?

interrupted captures
I'm not buying the "mystery." Software either works or it doesn't. If it worked before, you changed something or something was changed for you. Some joker on your crew changed settings on the camera between takes. Endless list of possibilities.
Take what you know about your previous successful captures and try to analyze what's different about these recent failures. I'm betting it's going to be embarrassing simple.

Can I convert a book made in iPhoto to a quicktime movie for the web?

Hi,
Please help, I have a great book that I have made in iPhoto and had printed but would like to post it to my mac website for people to be able to view with all the photos, titles, and audio. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Jim

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do that.
While in the book mode, do a Print to PDF in the Print window but select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. This will start an Automator process that converts each page to a jpg file and imports it into a user determined album in iPhoto. NOTE: when the process is complete and it's time for you to name or select an album a window will be presented. BUT if often stays behind the other windows and you'll think the process has failed. So make sure you can hide the other windows if it doesn't present itself to you. It took me several tries before I realized what was happening.
Once the pages are in iPHoto as separate files, you can try:
1 - put them in an album and add to an iWeb photo page where they can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
2 - create a slideshow in iPHoto, export to Quicktime and post that QT movie file to an iWeb page.
3 - create an iDVD project, add a slideshow and import the stills into iDVD to create a slideshow with music. A great gift to go along with a book. This method is explained in Tutorial #6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Fast start for Quicktime movies on the web

Hi All,
So I finished my first FCE project and posted the movie on my web site. But Quicktime doesn't start playing the movie until after it is completely downloaded. This doesn't happen with the other movies I have on my site, and as far as I can remember I used the sames options in Quicktime export. I selected the "fast start" option in the box "Prepare for Internet Streaming", as I always do.
Is there something more that I need to do when exporting a FCE project? Or is there another option that I forgot in the Quicktime export settings?
Thanks in advance for your help
Florence

OK, I tried again and again and again... and I finally know what I did wrong. The movie was exported from FCE with the fast start option, but then I opened in with Quicktime to make a small change (define the poster), and apparently this also removed the fast start option. Now I'll know not to change anything after the export :-/

Viewing embeded quicktime movies in the player?

Is it possible to view a movie that's embeded on a webpage in the Quicktime Player instead, therefore allowing the viewer to watch the movie at a different size?

Its the browser, not the web-page or file that decides how to handle files of any particular type. Safari does not allow the user to configure it to a great extent (and insists on using the QuickTime Plug-in even if it isn't installed...) but other browsers do.
If you use Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ ) the first time you go directly to the url of any mov file, ( paste in the URL of this mov file for instance: http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/gallery/images/macbook48001122006.mov ) and a window will appear. ( see http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/documentation/mac/Sorted%20Images/norton10/no rton10_01.jpg )
If you then choose to "Save to Disk" and "Do this automatically for files like this one from now on" a Download action is created in Firefox's preferences.
To view or change the Download action:
Menu bar > Firefox > Preferences > Downloads > View & Edit Actions
Select the "MOV" action.
Click "Change Action"
Select whatever you wish - save to disk, open with a plug-in (QuickTime Plug-in for instance), open with the default application or pick any application with which to open this type of file.
Click "Ok"
