Quicktime Movies pretty much useless if you want to put text over them

Bummer. Was hoping there would be much improvement in playing QT movies (especially H.264 movies) within KN3 when using animations or text overlays. This rocks in PPT and in MediaShout - seems simple to do. Anyway, if you put text over a movie and want it to fade in and out, the movie pauses for just a second which makes it look silly. Any ideas how to make this run smoothly. We are constantly wanting to put lyrics over songs that vocalists can follow with bg video playing.

I do know NOT using the presenter display will help as it's bogging down the processor when movies are playing. Hopefully MediaShout for mac will be out sometime in the next few months and you can use that

  • Is there a picture organization app that will let you move pictures around the way you want?

    I need a recommendation for a picture organization app that will actually allow you to sort pictures the way you want and have them stay in that order.
    The native app just doesn't allow me to sort my pictures into what ever sequence I want them in.  Creating new folders is OK, finally being able to delete pictures from photo stream is great but I really want a finer level of control over the order in which my pictures are displayed.  I looked at iPhoto but it has lots of reviews that say it doesn't do this so I am looking for an app that will give me control of my albums and will allow me to sort my pictures the way I want them.

    Hi Thom_D,
    I have iPhoto and I have found that it works very well for me, organising photos etc. onto a pinboard type thing.
    Hope this helps!

  • Alarm Clock/Timer pretty much useless.

    Before the 2.2 update I had the normal low volume issue. After the update the notification and ringer volumes are fine. Last night i was playing around with the DX and set the alarm clock. When it went off if it wasn't for the vibrate and rattling on the table I never would have known. I have the alarm volume up all the way. I hope there is a solution, not that I'm going to depend on the DX as an alarm clock, but it's the only issue I have with the phone to this point.

    In general, I have found that relying on ANY phone alarm to wake up by can be pretty risky. I downloaded a tone called "Danger"from one of the big free ringtone sites (also part of the iPhone tone collection) , ran it through Audacity to normalize (and hopefully maximize) its volume, it has never failed to wake me up.
    Having said this, I had to send a memo around to the techs and staff here that said I will NO LONGER accept "i didn't hear my phone alarm go off" as a valid reason for being late. Yes, it got that bad.

  • Is Time Machine pretty much useless?

    My 500 GB filled up in no time, so I bought a 2 Terribyte unit. Now it is already almost full. Shouldn't the Time Machine software only be backing up changed files and new ones? It seems to be backing up my entire hard disk each time. It has about 200 GB on it.

    It depends on what you do.. for instance if you have a virtual machine running windows.. everytime you boot into that partition and make changes, TM will backup the entire file.. it cannot see changes inside the file.. as you can imagine this causes very large backups that quickly fill the drive.
    Setup the widget.. see A1
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    To determine what TM is actually backing up and why the backups are so big.
    The way TM works is to fill the target disk .. this is expected.. once it is full it will thin the old backups..
    But you would expect that to be a fairly long process on a large drive, unless you are changing large files on a daily or hourly basis.

    To OP
    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up.  It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace)  might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
    For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon

  • What might you want to put in an InterruptedException catch?

    The purpose of this post is to clarify
    A) the operation of InterruptedExceptions, and
    B) the purpose of InterruptedExceptions
    So, tell me if I'm off on this:
    Suppose you have this thread that goes to sleep. It's interrupted. When it comes to (i.e. no longer interrupted and gets thread priority), the code in the catch for the InterruptedException is run.
    SO, my question is, what would you put in the catch? Would you use it to reestablish lost connections or find things that might have moved, or, knowing the source of the interruption, take it as some kind of crude kludgy communication ...???
    What is supposed to go in there? I've been blithely putting blank catches in like so -
    try {
      Thread.currentThread.sleep(4000);
    } catch (InterruptedException ie) {;}and I just want to make sure that this is not skipping out on something important.

    and I just want to make sure that this is not skipping
    out on something important.The only thing I can think that should go in there is a comment that explicitly says you are ignoring the exception. It might also help to say why you are ignoring it. That way if someone needs to fix your code in the future they will realize that you actually knew how to code defensively and you knew the conditions for that exception could be safely ignored.

  • Importing Quicktime movies into IMovie

    I have some Quicktime movies that are 868.4 MB in size and when I import them into Imovie they take approximatley 2 hours to import.
    Is there a way of speeding up the process.
    I have QT Pro and have tried editing the movie prior to import but the resulting file although smaller in size plays back as a green screen.
    Can anyone suggest a solution. QT Pro doesnt seem to have a SPLIT feature in it like IMovie.

    Why don't you just start the import at night, and let it run while you sleep? That will probably be the easiest solution.
    To edit in Quicktime, copy-and-paste works the best. Open your clip, and then start a second blank Quicktime movie. Select the portion you want to use by marking the in and out points (I and O keyboard shortcuts), cut, then select your other window, and paste. Then export the pasted clip as DV stream for easy import into iMovie. Repeat for each clip. Or select the sections you don't want, and cut them from your original movie.

  • Has anyone ever tried diplaying a quicktime movie iniweb?

    • Movies: Copy QuickTime movies into this folder and you can use HomePage to display them on your Web pages.
    this is what the idisk says. u can put quicktime movies in your iweb site. anybody tried this? if so did it work?

    This applies to the older Homepages system. If you put QT movie files into this folder, then log into your .Mac Homepages account and start a movie page, you will be prompted to select a movie from this Movies folder. This is unrelated to iWeb, but it could certainly be used in concert with an iWeb site.

  • Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

    I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

    Thank you so much for replying.
    I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
    I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
    I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
    My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
    I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
    Let me know any suggestions.
    Thank you

  • Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that- thanks

    Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that… thanks

    There's more to it than that.
    Folders in Aperture do not hold Images.  They hold Projects and Albums.  You cannot put an Image in a Folder without putting it in a Project or an Album inside that Folder.
    The relationship between Projects and Images is special:  every Image must in a Project, and can be in only one Project.
    Images can be in as many Albums you want.  Putting an Image in an Album does not move it from the Project that holds it.
    You can make as many Versions from a Master as you want.
    What you want to do may appear simple to you, but it still much adhere to how Aperture works.  I still can't tell exactly what you are trying to do (specifically: Images don't live in Folders; moving an Image from a Folder is non-sensical).
    It can be very confusing (and frustrating) to get going with Aperture -- but it does work, and can be enormously helpful.  If you haven't, take a look at the video tutorials on Apple's Aperture support site.
    I feel as though I haven't helped you much -- but we need to be using the same names for interface items in order to get anything done -- and my sense is that you still haven't learned the names of the parts.

  • 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.

  • How to Import from  Web Page or QuickTime movie

    Help! I accepted what I though was an easy assignment to make a DVD of a web page clip
    so my sister-in-law can show it as part of the Veteran's Day program at her school. The
    clip is
    http://home.comcast.net/~carmat/scene4.swf
    A friend got it into QuickTime movie format for me but she wants it on a DVD
    so it can be played over the projection system that plays normal DVD movies.
    I tried using Toast and it burned a nice coster that plays a slide show with no audio.
    I could use some help on how to import a QuickTime move into something that
    will burn it to a DVD.
    Any help will be appreciated. Anybody need some DVD coasters?

    .. that is a very tricky file..
    ctrl-click on your link, choose from context-menu 'download file'.. got a 5.8MB scene4.swf file..
    opened that with QTpro + perian.org plug-in.. plays..
    'Export/dv' generates an audio-less file ...
    2nd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to dv.. boom!.. aborts.
    3rd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to h264 - audio only file ( ?? )
    but, now I have an audio-less dv + and a video-less h264.. so, I simply copy/add trimmed the audio from h264 to the dv file in QTpro.. tadaahhh , done.
    note:
    I mostly doubt, that all pics in this 'show' are free for use, and not © protected..
    for sure, the music has some © ...
    and: as the credits tell you, the whole swf claims a © ..
    be nice to copy rights ..

    The "trick" is a Poster movie. A small button or graphic that says something like "Play" or "Click to Play" that is linked to your actual href movie file.
    If you also use "target="quicktimeplayer" the file will open in QuickTime Player instead of a browser window.

  • Streaming QuickTime movie without any links (i.e.:"file, edit, view, help")

    Hello all,
    I am streaming videos, using 'VitalStream', for items I have for sale. The local governing board of the organazation/web site I am posting these movies on will not let me post any 'links to other areas of the web site where there is promotional information'. So, the 'file, edit, view, help' on the quicktime player or movie is considered 'links' according to the organization.
    Is there a way I can export the movies, from iMovie HD or GarageBand or QuickTime Pro, so those links do not show on the streaming video? All I want to show is the movie and the play/pause functions, or if I can get it to just show the movie and sound that would be o.k. too. The majority of people who will be viewing these movies are using PC's. Should I get 'flip 4 mac' and convert it to wmv, will that cut out the 'links'?
    PowerBook G4 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iPod 80 G, iLife '06, iWork '06, QuickTime Pro, Sony DCR-HC96.

    Not familiar with Vitalstream...but if you embed your QuickTime movie into a web page, you can control whether or not there is a controller, and there is no player skin involved. The movie you embed can be either a full movie, or a reference to a movie running on a streaming server somewhere.
    The key is that instead of opening the movie in QuickTime player, you want it to run in the browser plug-in. Here, let me show you a couple of examples from my own pages. The code is fairly clean; feel free to rip off my embedding code if you want.. 8-)
    The most basic form of movie embedding can be seen on this page where a movie plays within the page, with its controller, which includes a play/pause control and a scrubbing bar.
    By comparison, on this page, about halfway down on the right-hand side there is an embedded movie with no controls on it, set to loop continuously. Again, you can look at the source to see how it was done.
    Please note that I'm using an old form of object embedding that has some issues in Internet Explorer. It still works, but in order to use the controllers the user has to click on the movie twice. Also, in my case, the movies are stored on my web site, and are not streamed at all. If I were using a streaming host, I could put a reference movie on my site and use it to point to the stream.
