QuickTime VR and .Mac

Is it possible to store QuickTime VR movies on my .Mac iDisk and call them up to display on my Blogspot page?
I've seen the very simple embed tags for QuickTime VR, but those who have done it, on remote sites, have had their QTVR files hosted somewhere other than .Mac
Any information would be help, even if someone knows where to store these movies outside of .Mac
There are no storage options from sites like Flickr or YouTube. They don't accept the file type.

Ah, yes. I see that Adobe are now calling it Adobe Director. For years after the purchase it was still called Macromedia Director, though.
Based on the nightmare that I see for Director under Lion (fonts, etc) in other forums, there is no way we will continue to invest in QTVR and Director at this point.
I am looking at Pano2VR and Object2VR by Garden Gnome software now. They seem pretty good, and also have some support for iPhone and iPad.

Ugh...Windows Movie Maker, Quicktime, Windows and Mac...oh my...

Alright, so I really need help...
I made a video for someone using Windows Movie Maker, before I was informed that he uses a Mac.
I can't figure out HOW ON EARTH to edit video clips and splice them together on Quicktime. He can't download anything, like Flip4Mac that has been suggested before, so I don't know what to do.
Can anyone help me!? I don't know what else to do! ='(

Go to the QuickTime Help and click on the Editing and Authoring section. That will give you an overview of the process. You can also find some of that information here:

Quicktime encoding using x264 encoder failing in AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2

I'm trying to encode an x264 codec Quicktime using AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2. I also tried it with two versions of the x264 encoder which I downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
This encoder works 100% fine and better than the h264 encoder when using Apple Compressor and Apple QT Pro V7. I've been however trying to transition all of my video encodes to AME due to a number of reasons: dynamic link to AE, Premiere and the interface to name a few.
Everytime I start an encode it gives me an error and I hear that blasted sheep. lol. This is what the log displays, which is frankly probably no help to anyone.
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
01/13/2013 04:48:10 PM : Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I've also tried to specify the bitrate and have had no luck. Whether I specify the bitrate or not, I still get the error. The source video has been PNG sequences and ProRes movies at 1920x1080, 29.97fps. Both result in the same unknown error.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I know this is pretty old now, but I thought I'd add a reply for those who are having this issue. I just had AME CC 2014 fail on me today, and this is the FIRST thing I've ever tried to render with it. I'm using a TGA sequence and exporting to an X264 codec Quicktime MOV file at 720p. I restarted a few times, repaired permissions etc. and nothing worked except for the following.
I went to:
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/
I deleted the entire 8.0 folder (or you could delete whatever version you are having problems with). I then restarted AME and the preferences were recreated and I could successfully use the x264 codec again. Hope this helps someone.

An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

Oops, I needed to update my profile. I have snow leopard now

When I played files, any .mov file even from the finder, that crashes computer too. youtube videos play fine but not my .mov files in either quicktime 10 or 7. files played in VLC crash too but not mpeg streamclip. I am at a lost. need help

Hi Gigih7,
If you are having issues with your Mac Pro turning off or shutting down unexpectedly, especially when using video applications, you may find the following article helpful:

Thanks for your reply. This video was recorded by my own professional camera, Sony PMW EX 3, two years back. But I am neither a professional cameraman nor an editor. I am just like a beginner in both. I didnt have space in my storage device, so I just copied all my clips, thinking I can edit it latter, without recompressing or editing or whatever I should have done it at that point of time. Now I need to edit it and use it in my profession. I am very upset. Please help me in going step by step to get it in FCP X for editing. Also I would like to know, do I need to buy the Compressor 4 for any reason. I dont mind in buying, if you think it is going to be useful for some reason. Thank you very much in anticipation for any kind of proper guidance.

Quicktime File Crashing Both Quicktime App and Finder in Mac, but Not Windows

Hi,
     I have a drive full of Apple ProRes Quicktime files. Almost all of them play perfectly, except 2. Those 2 files have played in the past, but I've had problems with them. They've come back to functionality in the past, but now they are not working again and I don't understand why.
     Whenever I go to open the files with Quicktime Pro 7, Quicktime X, FCP 7, Adobe Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, I get the spinning beach ball and not only does Quicktime crash, but the finder crashes as well. If I go to restart the finder, it never comes back online and I have to restart my late 2011 macbook Pro.
     I've tried repairing permissions and on the Macbook Hardrive and have used Disk Utility and Disk warrior on the hardrive containing the 2 quicktime files. Nothing has solved the problem.
     At first, I thought the Quicktime files might have become corrupted, but I installed Windows 7, using bootcamp, on the same macbook, hooked up the external hardrive and was able to play the quicktimes perfectly in Windows with quicktime 7 (not pro, because I don't want to buy it just for windows). So, there is some sort of incompatability between these two quicktime files and my Macboook.
     Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?

If you are on Windows Vista and trying to write something to
"Program Files" or its sub folders, write will not end up in the
right place as "Program Files" is protected. What ever you write
might go to a virtual store location. If that's the case try
writing to app storage folder.

Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
Background
I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
Ques 1
Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
Ques 2
Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
Ques 3
When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
Ques 4
It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
Ques 5
Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
Ques 6
Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Guy,
I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
Hope this helps with your decision.

IDVD, the Quicktime format and 16:9

Hi,
I´ve got a problem with widescreen format and Mac. I´ve edited about 10 short clips with Premiere Pro CS3 on a PC, but when it came to authoring the DVD found I no software for the PC that could handle 16:9 and 5.1 well. I´ve now moved the videos to my friends Macbook Pro and try to author a DVD with iDVD6.
I noticed that my problem was a common one; iDVD shows 16:9 material as 4:3 in preview (haven´t burned anything yet). Then I noticed that even when I play the video files on the Macbook, before even touching iDVD, they´re played in 4:3! On my PC, after being exported from Premiere Pro, they´re played as 16:9 (because they are 16:9!), but as soon as I move them to Macbook they´re played as 4:3.
Here´s the settings I used to export the files in Premiere Pro CS3:
File type : Microsoft DV
Compressor : DV - PAL
Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
Frame Rate 25,00 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Channels : 5.1
You see, the files are clearly 16:9 and they DO look weird when played on Macbook. I´m sure if I could figure out how to make Macbook/Quicktime player realise these are 16:9 videos, they would look correct in iDVD as well.
Any ideas?
Despite some problems, I really start to like the Mac.
P.S. If I export with the same settings, but change file type to Quicktime:
File type : Quicktime
Compressor : DV - PAL
Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
Frame Rate 25,00 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Channels : 5.1
I get a nice Quicktime file - in 4:3! What is the problem here, there´s plenty of settings showing that the export will be done in 16:9, but still the Quicktime format makes the final file a 4:3?

abrotherus,
Your files are anamorphic 16:9 (16:9 content squeezed down into the 4:3 standard definition format). The files need to have the 4:3/16:9 'flag' set correctly in the file format to be recognized as 16:9 by iDVD.
One way to correct the files is to use Anamorphicizer which can be found at: http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html

QuickTime on Windows Mac PICT File Text display doesn't work

There is a problem in QuickTime for Windows, which was there with version 6, and still exists in version 7. I have a Macintosh format PICT file, generated in Illustrator, that contains text and graphics. The text is in Arial font of a particular size. Viewing this PICT file on Windows within the QuickTime Player AND the QuickTime PictViewer, the font is scaled far larger than it is in the Mac version, to the point of going way outside a rectangle drawn around the text.
When this same PICT file is imported into Excel or Word on Windows, the text aligns and displays correctly, and at the correct size.
I am a software developer, and I have run PICTS through Quicktime programmatically, and there seems to be a real problem with text handling.
Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

Let me also clarify this by saying that the font I am using exists both on Windows and Mac platforms.

I have downloaded a movie with subtitle to iMovie. When playing the video, the subtitle does not show up through the entire video. It happens to my Mac Air and Mac Pro.

I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.

I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie. Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie". Choose to do this. The resulting movie will probably now work OK. Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

How do I launch quicktime player on Mac Book Air?

How do I launch Quicktime Player on Mac Book Air? I know that my computer came with it, and when I try to launch it, the icon tells me that it is Version 10.1. Nothing else happens. I wanted to watch some online videos which require the plug in, but the plug in says that it needs my permission to run. In Chrome, it is enabled, and yet it doesn't play, In Safari as well.
Thanks in advance.

Or try the pause key which likely the F7 key.

Have you tried using Quicktime Player 7?
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".
