Quicktime video clips look red

When I import Quicktime video clips into iMovie (for Mac - latest version) they come in looking bright red. Why is this? Can anyone help me. -Thanks

Not sure what you are asking?
To make as still frame from video?
Or to strobe the video (play at less fps)?
Both I believe can't be done in iMovie iOS

How do I get a quicktime video clips to go into my itunes?

Hi I have the latest version of itunes and quicktime ( Version 7.1.3) but I can't get itunes to play my quicktime video clips. I've tried dragging and importing them in but nothing happens. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi thanks for the help. But I was hoping that I wouldn't have to download or have to convert video files. I have a quicktime video in my itunes now but it was a while back when I added that I can't remember how too. Is there a easy way to do it or will I need to convert the Avi.files to something else? Thanks again for the help!

Quicktime video clips won't sync with ipod

Hi I've been trying to get some of the quicktime video clips I have to sync with my ipod but it says it can't because it can't play the clips on ipod. I've done it before but that was so long ago I have forgotten how to do it. So can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

Try right clicking on the videos in iTunes and selecting "convert selection for iPod".

Burning a shuffled playlist of Quicktime video clips

I have a folder with 308 Quicktime video clips in it.
I wondered if there was an easy way to burn to DVDs a shuffled playlist of video clips.
I have Toast but that only caters for shuffling photos or music.
I don't have the space to load them all into itunes.
Is there a way of shuffling the files names with the finder to then add to Toast or something like that?
Thanks,
Mike

Can Shake make a video clip look poster like?

I'm a very long time user of FCP. I'm looking for a software app that I can put on a video clip that will give it a "poster" or cartoon like or 2D animated look. If anyone's seen the 2008 Coca-Cola short film winner, this is what I'm looking for:

Can Shake do this? FCP can give a poster-like look, but it's only a frame at a time. On a five minute video clip, that could take awhile...
I'm willing to buy whatever software / hardware is needed, but I just want to know if I'm buying the right software.
Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions.
This has been discussed a lot in the Motion and Final Cut Pro forums:

Some video clips looks faster than other clips. [Finalcutpro X]

After exporting and uploading a video, sometimes I find some videoclips I added looks faster than other video clips. Is there anyone who experienced same problem? I don't know how to fix this situation.

Ah... the clip's rate I added in the middle was 24f but the project frame rate was 50f.
I think that's why this happened. Thanks for your reply.
And how can I solve this situation?

How can I record a QuickTime video clip of in-game action?

I've seen video reviews of games from time to time that show actual video clips of a game being played. The ability to record video clips of a game would come in very handy for me, because I'm experiencing a bug in the graphics of Call of Duty 2 that I would like to record and send as a file to Aspyr. However, I'm not sure how to record a movie of the game. (A screenshot is not sufficient.)
Can anyone give me an idea of what software to use to do this? Or do I just have to film my computer screen using my digital camcorder?
Thanks!

Like Mr. Napoli wrote, Snapz Pro X is probably your best bet.
It's made by Ambrosia Software, and at only $69.00 -- for it's quality -- Snapz Pro X isn't very expensive. I haven't purchased it yet, but I've used the demo. It's easy to use, with a lot of customization available. You can download a free demo from the right side of the main Snapz Pro X page here [ http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ] or purchase it from a link on the same page.
I would suggest downloading the free demo and trying it out, then deciding if you'd like to purchase. Any video recorded in the demo has a blue watermark "Unregistered Version Of Snapz Pro", but I believe that the demo is fully functional.

Quicktime video clips for website

I would like to upload clips of a recent tv appearance on my website. The producer will give me the footage as a quicktime file, but he needs to know the following specs first: resolution, pixel h x w, and frame rate. (I'm not sure the producer himself knows what info he needs). Basically, each clip will be about three minutes long, and I'd like the best possible quality for the web, in a normal, youtube sized window. My webmaster doesn't know quicktime. Can anyone tell me what to tell the producer?

All you need to know is how big a file the're willing to allow to be downloaded.
There is sometimes a misconseption about streaming verses downloading a video. Streaming video requires a dedicated sever, (for the type of streaming you are going to be doing.)
If you are not going to stream, but rather download the video content, (known as progressive download) then the file can sit on the http server as a downloadable file, with a link to it, by embeding the files information in the web page, using the proper html code, from the vendor to the media content you are going to use.
We use Quicktime here and do true streaming, using a Xserver and stream via RTSP proticol. The web server then has a reference movie embed in the web page that directs the enduser to the streaming servers address, which is then sent to the web page with the embed information for QT and the end view can watch the movie, without every downloading any of the content to there local drive. This protects the content from being downloaded by the end user and alos gives random access to any part of the media, at will, (no waiting for all of the file to download, like progressive does.)
If you choose to do, (what most sites do, progressive download) then you only need the http web server and a large hardrive or RAID storage for the media content. These file are then downloaded when the end user clicks on the link provided in the web page, and you will see a progression bar below the movie as the file downloads. A dedicated streaming server is not used in this case, just the http server as a download server.
Most web movies are currently running a window at 320x240 or in my case, (using the QT codec, H.264) 480x360 for SD video. We stream at the following streaming sizes, 128k, 512k & 1024k, using the above window size for all.
Our software that we encode with is Episode Pro, (our primary encoder) or Cleaner 6.5, (this is a second choice, (due to lack of support by Auto Desk who owns Cleaner.) We also encode with Sorenson 4.5, but not offten.
Hope this helps?

How do I cut a quicktime video clip

Where there is usually a "Trim" option, the option is shadowed and not allowing me to click on it. I am trying to shorten this 3 hour clip so that I can bring it into iMovie and edit it.
Thank you!

hmmm. i'm not sure precisely what you've read ... but this document (even though it's designed to help troubleshoot video problems), actually ends up being a fairly good hands-on tutorial on converting and syncing QT files:

My video clips go red in iMovie

Why does my video clip look faded and not work on my timeline?

I am making a simple short movie on my timeline. In fact, I already made it.
However, when I added a credits sequence (which used to look fine and worked normally), I ran into a problem.
Now, on my timeline, the little purple box that indicates the credis sequence is a little faded. Also, the text in the credits is inexplicably invisible, and can't be modified to any form of invisibilty.
How did I manage to create this mess, and how do I get my credits to look normal again?
-Jason Luna

Could it be that you disabled the scrolling title( I assume that is what you mean when you say "Credit sequence"). Hitting the V key when a clip/title is selected will disable it. Select it and hit V and see if it fixes your problem. If it is disabled you won't see the text.

I am losing sound when I export my quicktime video clip into imovie

Hi everyone,
I have a sony cybershot camera that also takes video. These videos play fine on quicktime but could not be used in imovie until I converted their format using quicktime pro. However, when I do this I get the video but it drops the sound. I did some investigating and found that the quicktime player keeps the audio and video seperate and for some reason the video is not sent when I change formats (i.e. .mov to mpeg-4). Does anyone know how I can get the sound to transfer as well so I can use the whole video + sound in imovie.

Does anyone know how I can get the sound to transfer as well so I can use the whole video + sound in imovie.
Sony Digital cameras usually save their video files as "muxed" MPEG-1 (MPEG VX) content which is "playback only" compatible with QT applications. Thus, when you use QT based applications to perform your conversion, only the video content makes it through the conversion process. In this case you need to use a third-party, MPEG-based utility to perform your conversions. iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware, and Visual Hub (pay-ware) are all popular Internet downloads which will work for you. iSquint is probably the easiest to use but limits your conversion to MPEG4/AAC and H.264/AAC compression formats which are compatible with iMovie '08. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which is more full featured and allows the use of additional formats such as DV and AIC/AIFF but is not as simple to use.

Irregardless of the Premiere Elements version...
I do not believe you are doing anything wrong. I have not found it possible to copy a Timeline clip to which Time Remapping has been applied and use Paste Effects and Adjustments to other selected clips on the Timeline to achieve the same fast or slow motion for more than one clip at a time. For one thing the duration of the Time Remapped clip is different than those that have not gone through Time Remapping.
And, you cannot select more than 1 clip at a time to be taken into the Time Remapping workspace.
Also, special considerations need to exist for Pan and Zoom Tool for its pan and zoom effect applied to more than one photo at a time.

I will think about this some more. But, at this moment, it appear to be it is what it is.

Quicktime videos in new web-page not loading.

I'm completely baffled by the following and hope someone might be able to help me.
I'm busy with a clients web site which has a gallery where quicktime video clips of their projects can be viewed.
http://www.arconafrica.netfirms.com/gallery.html
We've gone trough the process of placing each clip in its own page, but for some odd reason when you open a page some videos will start to download and play, other pages just give you a white Question-mark over the Quicktime logo. The really bizarre part is that some videos that we can't download and play on our computers, downloads and play on our clients computers, others play on ours but not theirs... it's really weird as all the settings for each clip is exactly the same.
All the machines that we tested this on are Mac's, we haven't tested a Windows machine yet.
I have a suspicion that I might have made a mistake with the encoding of the videos to Quicktime, maybe I've selected a setting that I shouldn't have which plays havoc with various servers... It's the first time I'm trying to put video clips in a web site...
The video clips where converted in compressor. Using the Quicktime 7, H264 at 300 or 800 kbps streaming. As they are all PAL files I've selected a frame rate of 25 per sec at Medium quality. Hinted streaming is on.
I'd appreciate any advice!!!

Part of the error could be caused by your out of date page code. Yours only uses the embed tag:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60883
When I went looking for your individual files I could only find one:
http://arconafrica.media-nf.netfirms.com/Quicktime%20movies/Martin%20Keyzer-H.26 4%20300Kbps%20Streaming.mov
The %20 is used for spaces in file names.
No need to use hinted movies as your file are not "streamed". They download and only need "Fast Start".
Double check your server to be sure all of the QuickTime files are properly uploaded and are named correctly.

Sending video clip to Windows XP

I am trying to send Quicktime video clips to my daughter who is at college. She has a laptop running Windows XP. When she attempts to play the video clips she on hears the audio without the video. I have Quicktime Pro and would like to convert the video clips to something more generic to her system which I am sure has the Windows Media Player. What would be the best format to send to her?

You've probably used the new H.264 video codec. All that is needed is for your daughter to upgrade (free) to QuickTime 7 for Windows.
You can confirm the H.264 use by opening the file in QuickTime and look at the Movie Info window.
Converting the .mov format to Microsoft Media Player will cost you money. QuickTime can't export to .wmv with some third party software help. No one with a kid in college needs to spend extra money.
