QuickTime plug-ins: Filters

Is there a plug-in for QT that allows Photoshop-like "Levels" adjustment?
The one that comes with QT is very limited.
If I export the QT video with a Filter active, are the filter-results "burned into" the exported movie?
Thanks

Years ago (10 years) Apple had filters that plugged into Quicktime. I think the only filter are the ones that come with Quicktime now.

Adding Plug ins/Filters to Elements 9

I have a filter that I want to install into the Elements program. Every time I attempt to put the new filter into the menu, it says it has been completed but I am unable to see the filter. Here are the steps I have done.
The downloaded files are .zip. Double click on the zip file to extract the installers.
Double click on the extracted exe to start the installer.
Use the Browse button to aim the files at the Program Files/Adobe/ Photoshop Elements 9/Plug-ins/Filters directory.
After installation open Photoshop.[Photoshop only polls the Filters directory on start up. If you added the filters while Photoshop was up, it wouldn't see the new filter]. Now open an RGB file and look for your filter in the Filters Menu under the name of the new filter.
Any ideas?

Problems with mscv80.dll can be difficult to solve because in Vista and Win7 the DLL is considered a "System" file and access to it is tightly controlled. The easiest thing is to let Win7 do the repair by running the System File Check utility:
Close all programs.
Go to your "Start" menu, click on "All Programs", select the "Accessories" folder, and right-click on "Command Prompt".
Choose "Run as Administrator" from its context menu.
Enter the Administrator's password when prompted, to open a command prompt window with elevated privileges.
Type the following at the command prompt and hit Enter:
sfc /scannow
The SFC utility will tell you it's checking the system files and that the process will take some time. Be patient. When it's finished, it will tell you whether it found and fixed any files. N.B.: Even if the utility reports that it found nothing to repair, it really did, so close the command prompt and reboot your computer.

Free plug ins & filters, sounds too?

are there common popular sites to acquire free filters & plug ins.
And even sound effects?
Thanks anyone?

For sound effects, the "Freesound Project" at http://www.freesound.org/home/login/?next=/home/ is hard to beat. You have to register but it's completely free. Don't forget to upload anything potentiall useful to others that you happen to record for yourself!
For a selection of free VST plug ins, have a browse through http://www.sadglad.com/freevstplugins6.html . They vary from really good to a bit blah, but there's certainly a lot to choose from!

WMP OR Quicktime plug ins????

I need to look at clips on e-mail, and my G5 won't read them. Should I download Windows Media Player or Mac or the plug-ins from MS which make QT work with it???
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx
OR...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
(BTW, my iMac did not know what to do with the WMP download...)
Thanks all. Again, a GREAT site with great folks.

"Microsoft says so..isn't that the kiss of death."
Well, normally I might agree, but since it means that they are getting out of "supporting" Macs - if you want to call it that - by finally ditching Internet Explorer (which they haven't updated in eons) and Windows Media Player (ditto), then it really is a good thing.
I am no Microsoft basher, but recently the only good thing that they have done for the Mac is Office.

What QuickTime plug-ins do I need?

I have a Microsoft file format MP4S (which is apparently MPEG 4) that I need to open in QuickTime.
Can anyone suggest what QuickTime Plug-In in necessary to open this file.
Many Thanks
Marv

Thanks Colin & others,
I finally resolved the issue.
Here is a synopsis of the problem & the solution that worked for me. I should add this Forum (and several other friends who helped) never cease to be a wonderful source of ideas & support. Grateful thanks to them.
The test file was 30 seconds of colour bars (PAL) recorded as HD 1080p and the file was encoded by a default Microsoft MPEG-4 format called MP4S with a resolution of 720x576.
Ultimately I needed to be able to import the file into Final Cut Pro V.6 for editing & so the file needed to be transcoded into a QuickTime supported format.
VLC was the only software I found capable of opening this file as QT would not. When I attempted to open it, a QuickTime dialogue box responded - This file is not a movie file.
After a long search an application called VisualHub
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/visualhub.html
offered the ability to transcode the existing format which was MP4S to H.264 (also MPEG-4). QuickTime was then able to open this new file & subsequently importing it into Final Cut Pro was made easy.
I love happy endings. Thanks to all.
Kind Regards,
Marv

Quicktime plug ins

Hi everybody,
I am using Mac OS X but had the same problem with other OS macs or windows alike.
When Quicktime tells you it cannot play the file and send you to the plug in page. How do we find out which plug in is the missing one without having to install all of them.
hank you for your precious and wonderful help.
Francis

I think you mean the components page, and yes, it can be confusing. If you have QuickTime Pro and can download the movie that had the problem, or if you view the movie in Safari and option-double click on the movie file listed in the Activity window to download it, you could then open the file in QuickTime Player to see the movie info. In there you should be able to see what audio and video codec is used.
You could also directly open the movie URL in QuickTime Player. You should be able to get the URL from the web page source html.
Is there an example movie you can give the link to, for us to see what special component it might need?

Quicktime Plug-ins/Codecs

Can anyone tell me where or how to get things like DivX and other things that don't run on quicktime now to work on quicktime? Help is greatly appreciated.

Nawid,
Here you can find a plug-in from DIvx that allows you to play Divx with Quicktime. If you reed carefully you will see that it's free:
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
at flipformac there is a plug in (fee) that wil allow you to play .wmv with Quicktime:
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_features.htm
The free/shareware players VLC and Mplayer OS X will support most media types, you won't be able to read with the Quicktime player.

Why do I have 2 Quicktime 7.6.4 plug ins?

When I looked up which internet plug-ins I had, I noticed that there were 2 Quicktime plug-ins. One was labeled Quicktimeplugin.webplugin and the other Quicktimeplugin.plugin. In the Mac HD library folder they are both in the internet lug-in folder. When I get info for both the plugin.plugin was modified yesterday and the webplugin.plugin is alot older, but when I open up there package contents it states they were both modified yesterday when i downloaded the software update. Do I keep them both or do I delete one? And how would I delte one completely/

Yes, you need them both. They have different functions, which is why they have different names.
Best just to leave them be.

Help Upgrading Actions/filters/plug-ins

When you do an upgrade to CS5, I assume you can just copy the actions files to the new location, and then load them. But what bout plug-ins/filters/scripts?
Woudl you have to find the actual old install files and run through those again?
For example, I have One-on-One software and Mystical Lighting that I use from time to time. Must I re-install those or download their install packages again? I don't think I could just cop those over to the new folder correct?

if you have 32 bit plugins, use them with the 32 bit installation of ps.

Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
to the Quicktime Plug-in.
Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

Why are my plug-ins not recognized by Photoshop CS5?

Hello,
It seems my plug-ins are not recognized at all by Photoshop CS5:
- Imagenomic
- Photokit Sharpener
- Photomatix
and even the - Optional Plug-ins given by Adobe are not working
I get a panel that says:
"could not complete your request because Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file"
Am I doing something wrong?
The plug-ins are in:
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Automate>PK Sharpener
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Optional Plug-Ins
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Imagenomic
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Filters>Tone Mapping
Thanks for your help!

sorry I've found the answer... not running in 32 bits... What a shame...

Missing plug-ins CS5 - help needed

In the filter menu I haven't got the first plug-ins. I have blur, noise, pixelate, sharpen, stylize, other and that's all. Where are the others and, more importantly, how can I get them?

Ah, they're just missing entirely from the menu. Have they always been missing like that, or did they go missing at some point? I see that you have some Nik plug-ins... Is it possible you saw the problem occur on installing those? I ask because there are several current forum threads on the bad things some Nik plug-ins are doing to the Photoshop user interface.
That has the look of a possibly incomplete Photoshop installation.
It's also possible that your menus have been edited...
Some things to try/check:
1. Do the menus return if you choose Windows - Workspace - Reset Essentials from the menu?
2. Do you have this file on your computer:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters\Liquify.8BF

Tried to Download additional plug-ins for CS4 but having problems.

I just found out that CS4 doesn't have the extract filter, so I went to this link to download additional plug-ins:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
I downloaded it, but I'm having trouble installing it. The instructions tell me to "navigate to the application
folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions" but there's not application folder or Setup. I also tried opening the download, selecting English>Googies>Optional Plug-Ins>Filters>Extractplus.plugin, but it says "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I'm at a complete loss here. All I want is the Extract Filter. I've tried 2 different downloads, both to no avail. Please help!

I don't quite follow?
The only document you need to read is the "OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf" in the Goodies/Optional plug-ins folder on your mounted diskimage of your downloaded.
Here you'll find all the instructions on where to put the files.

Importing 3rd party plug-ins into CS5

Coming from CS3, I've tried drag and drop but no joy.
How do I get my plug-ins/filters moved over - or do I have to continue to use CS3 if I want to use them???
It's been some time and I'm not sure I even have the original installers or not - it would take some real hunting around to find them if I did. Some don't matter if I lose them, while many are used often. There *should* be a simple drag and drop, migrate or import function for this - where is it?

They sort of say DON'T USE OLD 3rd party PLUG INS!
"As with all previous versions of Photoshop, don't copy old third-party plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, into the Photoshop CS5 plug-ins folder. If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option."
Well where the heck are they supposed to go then? :-/ Their installers put them in the Plug-Ins folder...
I found for the couple I really wanted to import, and tried, once in 32 bit mode on startup (Switch this under "Get Info" for those reading along) - they worked just fine. Yes, 64 bit would probably be better, but I suspect that in many cases 64 bit "upgrades" aren't free - even though the features are no different.
For now, for my needs, this works and has been solved - thanks!

How can I check Plug-Ins?

Hi,
how can I check if my QuickTime Plug-Ins are still current? In most browsers there is an option "About Plug-Ins" which lists all installed Plug-Ins. Is something similar available for QuickTime?
Thanks!

There should show two sets of QuickTime plug-ins (7.1.3 and 7.1.5).
7.1.3 is the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
7.1.5 is the QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
The "webplugin" is used by Dashboard Widgets (just special html code). It is listed as version 7.1.3 in error as the Finder Get Info window reveals it to be 7.1.5. The error (wrong version number) could be caused by Safari but that is just a guess.
