Record/Save visualizer to QT movie?

Is there any way to save the output of the visualizer to a QT movie?
It could be as low as 640x480 resolution.
Could it be output WITH a sound effects track I've made?
Thanks
William

No tutorials exist that I know of. But all you need to do is just size (drag the small black "handles" on the window edges) and place the capture window appropriate to the QuickTime Player image so it leaves out the QuickTime Player frame. For additional details, see the Snapz Pro manual, page 18.
For additional information on running Snapz, check out the Snapz Pro FAQ or ask in the Ambrosia Utilities forum.
Regards.

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

How do I open and save a DVD as movie file?

I have a DVD with video content that I want to eventually get "in" to iMovie for editing.
I can open and play with iDVD.
I need to save it as a movie file so that I can hopefully import it to iPhoto - and eventually open and edit with iMovie.
How do I save it as a movie file? When I tried QuickTime it wasn't able to open it either.
Thanks,
Kathy

Did you load the MPEG2 Playback Component?
If you open your DVD in the Finder, you should find a folder called Video_TS. In this folder, you should see several files with the extension .VOB. Drag one of these files into MPEG Streamclip and you should be able to play it. If you get that far, we'll keep going.
AIC is Apple Intermediate Codec. It is a high quality codec good for editing. DV is the codec used by MiniDV camcorders. You can pick these in MPEG Streamclip by selecting FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME/AIC or FILE/EXPORT TO DV
There are other solutions, but this is the best one if you want to preserve the quality of your files before editing.

Automator workflow for Quicktime "Save As... reference movie"

I need just to "Save As (a reference movie)" from within Quicktime... I have tried using the "Compress using most recent settings" but that still tries to make it "self-contained," whereas i need specifically to Save As a Reference Movie.
Any thoughts?

If you save as a reference movie it just uses a pointer to the already existing content which you cannot move or molest, or it won't work. You want to compress it then you make a new movie, and self contained as a result.

Can't save MP4 as a .mov file get error message below

The error message reads: "This movie cannot be saved"
Below it says:
"This movie has an incorrect time value"
I'm trying to save it as an MOV file for use with IMovie
Any suggestions?

Probably not a video "editor" but a video "converter" application. My guess is iSquint (now out of business).
MPEG Streamclip may be able to export the file or fix the timecode issue. I never used the iSquint software so I'm not sure.

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

How do you save and burn a movie to play on a dvd player to show on your tv

I found an iDVD program through Softonic. Do you know anything about reliability and if it is safe to download this one? If not do you have any suggestions for one I might download.

Why iP4 front video recording result in a mirrored movie?

Hello everybody,
why iPhone 4 front video recording result in a mirrored movie?

Hi Johnathan, thanks for the quick reply.
I solved the mistery
When I watch the screen with images from the front camera I see them as I am wathcing in a mirror.
When I made the video with front camera I was expecting to see exactly what I saw in the "mirror" but iOS automatically flipped images to replicate filmaker experience.
This is what I think when I use the camera:
- if I use rear camera I am in the position of the filmaker
- if I use front camera I'm the actor
I'd like to be able to choose the point of view of the video, I'd like to record a video with mirrored images. of course I can do it in post production...

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.

How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

Hi there, I have a big problem:
I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

How can I save a "trimmed" QuickTime movie at original high rez?

I use QuickTime 10.1
In the past, after lobbing off part of a QT movie using the "Trim" function, I was never asked what quality to save it in, it just saved when I clicked Save. I never imagined I was losing quality by saving a trimmed movie.
Now, however, when I click Save a window pops up giving me two choices: 480p or 720p. Are we to assume the movie we're working on was no greater resolution than 720 to start with? Or is our movie being condensed against our will?
A test suggests the latter is true. Even if I lob off just a teensy bit, a file saved at 720p is VASTLY reduced in size. What is going on here, and how can I save my movies at the same high quality they start out with? I find nothing in Help about this.
Secondly, if I may slip this less important question in as well: Sometimes when I click Save I get an error message that "This operation cannot be completed," and QT crashes. This has happened a number of times, and I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong. Any clues?
Many thanks.

In the past, after lobbing off part of a QT movie using the "Trim" function, I was never asked what quality to save it in, it just saved when I clicked Save. I never imagined I was losing quality by saving a trimmed movie.
Are you referring to a previous version of QT or your current v10.1 Lion version? Since the introduction of Snow Leopard and QT X v10.0, Apple has been moving towards a single combined "Save", "Save As...", and "Export" function with the name shifting from "Save" to "Export" as it evolved. (I.e., in the latest Mountain Lion rendering you are advised to read the "pop-up" option description to tell if you are performing a "Save/Save As..." or an "Export" action.)
Now, however, when I click Save a window pops up giving me two choices: 480p or 720p. Are we to assume the movie we're working on was no greater resolution than 720 to start with? Or is our movie being condensed against our will?
Since you have not indicated the encoded or anamorphic dimensions for the file you are working on, it is difficult to determine if the QT X player is acting normally or not here. Basically, whatever you are doing is triggering an export action which limits the dimensions to specific category levels. You cannot, for instance, export a 1280x544 (2.35:1) aspect file to a 1920x816 (2.35:1) aspect file but you can export it to a 720p 2.35:1 aspect file because it woud fit within the 1280x720 defined 720p dimension window. I.e., unlike QT 7 Pro, the application will not let you "upscale" the source file during the encode since this would reduce export quality and is the same as exporting the file at its current dimensions and simply rescaling the playback dimensions—a much faster workflow. As to "being condensed against our will," this could be the case in some instances. For instance, a 1280x720p30 file might be re-compressed to a 960x540p30 file for mobile device compatibility which, in turn, usually depends on the specific method of accessing the export action.
A test suggests the latter is true. Even if I lob off just a teensy bit, a file saved at 720p is VASTLY reduced in size. What is going on here, and how can I save my movies at the same high quality they start out with? I find nothing in Help about this.
If you are referring the to QT 7 Pro "Save As..." workflow and you still have your QT 7 Pro registration key, then the obvious answer would be to install the QT 7 v7.6.6 Player and key it for "Pro" use. Both QT players can be installed and used under OS X v10.6, v10.7, or v10.8 simultaneously. (I.e., by default QT X installs and runs/updates in "Applications" folder while QT 7 Pro installs and runs/updates from within the "Applications/Utilities" folder where they should be left.
Secondly, if I may slip this less important question in as well: Sometimes when I click Save I get an error message that "This operation cannot be completed," and QT crashes. This has happened a number of times, and I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong. Any clues?
This would be more difficult to answer. Since QT X is a product "in development" and has proven to be less stable than QT 7 Pro and includes far fewer editing features, I, for one, do not use it for any serious edits no matter how minor they may be. On the other hand, I have no real problems with its playback and conversion features as long as I work within the application's intrinsic limitations as it continues to evolve.

Recording Save for Web in an Action still doesn't work properly in Photoshop CS6 13.0.1

There is still an issue with making new actions that include saving for web. While recording the action, save for web functions as it should. But once the action is played, regardless of the original format the saved image should be, it gives it an html filename extension. This can be extremely frustating when you have an action that saves over a hundred images from a single action.
I have seen posts in Adobe forums from many people regarding this very irritating bug, including posts from Adobe employees acknowledging the bug. This was present in the Beta, the initial release, and in this 13.0.1 update. No fix.
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/ps_cs6_actions_recorded_action_expor ts_html_instead_of_jpg
The employee acknowledged this bug THREE months ago (as of this post), yet all things considered, this doesn't seem like something that would take three months to fix!
I have spoken about this bug with a friend that is a computer programmer. Considering that the action is saving the file correctly, and it's only the name that is not saving properly indicates that this is a superficial error, and not an issue that would require rewriting the code completely. Also consider that this WAS functioning properly in CS5, and that this is a very easily reproducible bug. Adobe should have plenty of information required to correct the issue. I understand that this fix may be more or less difficult to do than what I am suggesting, but it should have been fixed by now.
I don't understand this mentality. Please Adobe... Put CS7 down for a little while, and fix what needs to be fixed in CS6. People (myself included) have paid A LOT of money for your products, it's not unreasonable to expect them to work properly. Bugs happen, it's understandable, but it's not unrealistic to expect a fix for them when the software is as expensive as it is. Is there actually any plan to correct this issue?

1- Tcode - SMARTFROMS
2- Utlitities -> Download form
3- Form Name

So when I run the BDC for in BAckground mode - the Pop to save each and every file comes up..It is any way to automate the SAVE AS option in BDC or is there any other option.
Basically I dont want any Human Intervien for saving activity.

I even tried running the program in E mode...it is still showing the SAVE option screen
Is there any other way of downloading smartforms programatically...As basic requirement of Utlility is Mass download of smartforms.
