Reset to poster frame after web movie plays?

I have a bunch of movies set up on a web page with poster frames set. There is a click to play icon over them. That's all perfect. However, all the movies fade to black at the end and just stay on the last black frame. Not very attractive, I want them to "rewind" to the poster frame. I was thinking of just taking a screen shot of the poster frame with the click to play icon and making it the last frame so it would appear to have been "rewound" to the beginning. The only problem with that is the click to play button doesn't work. Is there either an additional QT parameter to insert into the code or a bit of javascript that would reset the movie to the beginning?
Thanks
Randy

I just tried this using 3 different movies and 3 different templates and every time it turned up blank.

Can't set POSTER FRAME for .mp4 movies... can for most others

I've got QTPro.
When I try to create a poster frame for a .mp4 movie I compressed it tells me I have to save and does one of the following two things:
1) Tells me I can't save after I hit SAVE
2) Tells me it wants to save as a .mov file... I don't WANT a .mov file.
Any thoughts?

Sorry to tell you so late in your life that you only have one job when it comes to moms and grand-moms. Give them what they want!
Part of your "monicker" best describes the issue.
You can edit your published pages using hundreds of tools but the are best edited with a plain text editing app like BBEdit (any plain text editor works).
You can use Safari to view your page and even "save" the source code (Command-Option-U) and then "save as". Edit this new page to make your changes and drag it back into the appropriate Web older of your iDisk (replacing the older version).
I did it to one of my pages to add a sound file to one of my slideshow pages:

just because others said it couldn't be done.
Darn. Now you have another mother, or worse, an in-law. Sorry.

Poster frame for entire movie

I have searched the manual and this forum, and I can not find an answer. I know how to set a poster frame for a specific clip, but how do I set one for the entire film? I want to upload a movie to youtube, and I want a specific image to show up when representing the movie.
thanks

Great. thank you. Yes after I posted my first video I found that it selected a poster frame of its own anyway. I just wanted to make sure there was not a black screen representing the video.
thanks!

Rotated Movie, Poster Frame is unrotated

I took a movie in portrait mode instead of the normal landscape mode.
Then I used QT Pro 7.0.3 to rotate it. Nice job!
Then I went to View > Set Poster Frame after selecting the desired frame.
Saved the file. Went to finder and the Poster Frame (or Icon) in the Finder is unrotated.
Bug? Or feature?
Any help appreciated.

I am seeing the same thing:
!http://idisk.mac.com/charlie.whitfield/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iWeb-20080718-231 737.jpg!
I publish movies to .Mac/MM directly from iMovie '08. I add them to my iWeb pages using Insert/.Mac Web Gallery:
!http://idisk.mac.com/charlie.whitfield/Public/Pictures/Skitch/Untitled1-2008072 2-185017.jpg!
There's no way to select the poster frame from within iWeb. However, I would expect that capability to exist within iMovie '08 but it doesn't.
I asked the same question over on the iMovie '08 forum and [didn't get very far besides determining that it can't be done without buying Quicktime Pro|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7683855#7683855].

How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

Need some help on the following.
Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
thx ra

This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

Resetting poster frame for video

I accidentally hit the Set Poster Frame option on a video I bought from iTMS and want to reset it to the original. How do I do that?

There is no reset option for poster frames.
Just move to the frame (probably somewhere at the beginning) that was your previous poster frame and set it again.
Hope this helps.

Help! Quicktime Movies playing only five still frames

When I try and play quicktime movies on my PC (Windows Vista) they play back with sound, but only five still frames from the movie play on the screen. How do i fix the problem?
I'm running windows vista and Quicktime 7.3.1. The problem shouldn't be the video card as all my other video player applications playback fine.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have found the solution to this problem I presented.
Sorry, I didn't realize that a computer monitor cannot support these images accurately.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rossshane/fcpfaq.php
I had a Canopus ADVC-110 sitting right here.
Plugged it up to the TV,
and the images appeared fine.
But this brings up one more question:
Is there a way to have all these images from Final Cut accurately displayed on a computer monitor ?
I've got a lot of more of them around than TVs . . .
Sorry to have bothered you with this, but I would appreciate further information on displaying the images on a computer monitor.
Thanks !

Poster Frame Bug?

After creating a Photo Page and adding 3 movies. I set the Poster Frame on all 3 movies plus adjust some of the movies in's and out's. I publish and everything is great. If I quit iWeb and open it again to update my website, the photo pages with movies lose the poster frame and in and outs. So I have to manually set them again before publishing??? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks!

Darren;
Are you adding the movies in the photo page area where photos usually go? A better option would be to add the three movies to a non photo page like shown on this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. That way you can use any frame of the movie as the poster frame and the movies do not load until the play button or the thumbnail (example at bottom of page) is clicked on.

Setting poster frame

I am trying to set my poster frames for my movies that I have imported into itunes and then watch on the ipad. When I try to set the poster frame it doesn't seem to take?
Also, when looking at the movie thumbnails on the ipad it has chosen one frame for multiple movies. I need to have a the image for the movie so my son who is 5 can pick out what move he wants to see since he doesn't read yet.
any advice would be welcomed!

Adding to Massimo65 - thanks, you helped a lot...I have had same issue where I can set Poster Frame in iTunes for some movie thumbnails and not others (these are all my own home movies and include .mov and .mp4 files).
For those movie thumbnails that would not 'hold' the poster frame, this is what worked for me :
1. Set the poster frame by playing and pausing the video then right click and 'Set Poster Frame'
2. Close the quicktime player window (the poster frame you selected above won't show up)
3. With the thumbnail for the video still selected- right click, choose ratings and give the video any "*" rating you like
... the poster frame selected in Step 1 will reappear and stay there

How Set Video Poster Frame (Image) for Intro Media?

iBooks Author Mavens,
How can the Poster Frame (aka, Poster Image) for the Intro Media segment of an iba video be set?
Irrespective of anything I do with the Widget Inspector...such as attempting to move the Poster Frame to a frame at the desired ~7 second point (in a ~10 second clip)...iBA keeps resetting the Poster Frame to ~2.5 seconds (not wanted).
Very, very frustrating...suggestions?
Many, many thanks!
Plane Wryter

If you use a video in any place but intro, will your iBA let you choose and keep any poster frame setting you like?

Can I export clips with the poster frame already set?

Does anyone know how to do this? -
I want to set custom poster frames in FCP and have them remain as the set poster frames in the mov clips that I export so I don't have to open the individual clips in QuickTime and re-set the poster frames from there.
Thanks for any input!

Apparently the low-resolution preview that InDesign creates on first placing the PDF does not store a transparent background. If I recall correctly, this is also visible in the UI.
If you don't have access to the original image, you don't have access to its transparent bits, so you have to think of something else. Would it be enough to treat all white pixels as transparent?

Video Poster Frames

Hi Everyone,
Can someone assist me please. I'm trying to automatically auto-generate poster frames for videos. Currently I have videos that's embeded into our site, before pressing play a blank screen is displayed. I would like to have someway of going into the video for say 30 seconds and display that as the poster frame prior to pressing play.

The YouTube preview images are created during the upload/encoding process.
It has nothing to do with the YouTube player.
Strobe Media Playback is a video player.
There is no encoding process which can create and save an image.
You may be able to automate the create-poster-image process on your server using FFMPEG.
Search for "FFMPEG poster image" and you will find some methods using PHP for example.
There was (may still be) a plug-in for JW Player for creating preview images.
It involves a SWF plug-in file and some PHP code.
I could not get it to work as there was little to no documentation.
Perhaps for commercial subscribers they provide help to get it working.
It may be possible to create a Strobe plug-in to do something similar.
But the Strobe project seems to have gone dormant so you are definitely on your own for that one.

Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
to the poster frame.
I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
Any help appreciated.

Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
Flash for the first time".

After publishing I can no longer see the poster frame on QuickTime

I cant figure out why after publishing to the web (MobileMe), I can no longer see the poster frame on the QuickTime movie that I made. When I publishing to a folder on the mac to check my results I can see the poster frame, so it is only happening when i am publishing to the web. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or have a solution?
Thanks
Chris

You cannot delete this icon as its preinstalled on the iPhone. You may have inadvertently moved it to another page or into a folder. I would suggest you look on all the pages and in all folders or alternatively do a search on your iPhone. It will at least tell you if they are still there but unfortunately not where. You could also do a home screen layout reset settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.
