Scrub bar and its ability to pause

I'm considering a purchase of Apple Quicktime Pro but I'd like to know if it can perform a specific function that I have in mind while it is embedded into a browser.
You see, I work a for a research center that has an electron microscope. The EM lab creates these fascinating 3D movies of a 360 degree views of microscopic particles. The movies essentially rotate around a target and pictorialize the structure of the particles.
The EM lab would like to take these movies, which are in AVI format, and post them online. However, they would like the user who (who is viewing the movie files from within a browser) to be able to scrub through it and pause, in order to view the particles at different angles.
Essentially, my question is this. Can Quicktime allow a user to scrub through a video, let up on the scrub bar, and have it PAUSE instead of play at that point? This would, in essence, make the scrub bar less of a position to start playing a video file and more of an indication of a vantage point of that particle. Is this clear?
Thanks,
Paul

The scrub will reflect whatever the state of playback is at the time. That is, if the movie isn't playing to begin with, the user can scrub to any point and the movie will not automatically start playing. If the movie is playing, then the movie will continue to play after the pointer is dragged to the new location.

  • Help! scrub-bar and controls missing

    Hi, I have a problem. I was playing a track today and i noticed that the bar with the scrub-control is totally missing. This is true for podcasts also, where the bar for adjusting the playback speed and scubbing is gone. Help! how can I get that back?
    Thanks

  • I have two users on my home pc but one has a "hammer" icon next to the help in the menu bar and its not even english! help

    Ok, again I have tried to download several time the new version of firefox and with my wife as administrator she has a little icon like a hammer and when i open its a game but not english but on my user page i downloaded the same new firefox but don't have this icon does this mean she has a problem with her user interface

    I'm going to suggest a new Firefox profile in your wife's Windows profile. The following is a little long, but not difficult if you go step by step.
    First, I recommend backing up your wife's Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, with all Firefox windows closed, start up in the profile manager and create a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    Hopefully this one will be "hammer free" on first run and after closing down Firefox and restarting it in the new profile again. If so, the problem may have been one of your wife's add-ons. You have the choice to keep the problem profile and disable all non-essential add-ons, or migrate key settings to the new profile.
    To move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
    If the new profile also has the hammer, it could be created by an add-on in a separate folder. Please open Help > Troubleshooting Information and copy/paste the extensions and plugins in your reply.
    Note: after using the profile manager, Firefox generally keeps using the last selected profile. To switch, close Firefox and use the profile manager again.
    Any luck?

  • Scrub Bar and Slider question

    I am trying to better understand the edit sliders in QT 7 Pro.
    In 6 Pro I would hold the shift key and drag the slider from an IN point to an OUT point of my choosing. This would now be highlighted, or selected. I could then cut or copy that selection. When I try that in QT 7, as soon as I click down on my IN point, everything is selected all the way back to the beginning of the movie. In essence, it is selecting backwards. I also notice that the two (in-out?) markers appear when I click anywhere along the scrub line. I am getting things done but clumsily. I know there must be some handy, easy ways to manage these powerful new features. Tips, please. Thanks.
    *Apple's Quicktime Guide seems nothing more than a bunch of ads. I can't find any actual "guide."

    Use the letter i and o keys to select in and out points. They will be created at the location of the playhead.
    Hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to add (or remove) frames.

  • The Title Bar and its controls are superimosed on the navigation toolbar

    the Question is it. the overlap prevents me from easily accessing controls on the navigation bar. I don't understand this. I asked this earlier and got dumped because i changed all the files as requested and the problem hasn't gone away. I downloaded and installed Firefox 17 and it is still there! I also upgraded my operating system to mac OS 6.8 with no help at all. I can get you a copy of the start up reading from the console if you want. I've included a screen shot below..... wait.
    I just reverted to the default persona from a musical one - the problem disappeared. Why do I get this when I add personas? Let me try others.... That is the focus of the problem! The personas for some reason exclude some of the toolbars and "shove" the title bar down onto and superimpose it upon the navigation bar. That may not make sense, but that is what it looks like from this end. Curious, though, the drop down options are still in a strange configuration, a different typeface than they were before, which happened when the personas superimposed the title bar on the navigation toolbar. So, obviously I can't use the personas. Is there a way around this, please? there is obviously a conflict somewhere, bit I can't figure it as this is a new development ever since I tried to install a new glims version for Safari and this problem appeared after that. De-installing glims did not eliminate the problem so it obviously changed something in the Firefox configuration files. The guy at glims was mystified, too. Any suggestions?
    thanks.

    Whenever I even mouse over the pesonas in the dropdown tools menu, the title bar at top and the buttons thereupon drop down and superimpose onto the navigation bar just below it. I also have an arial or helvetica font on the right click drop downs where it was gill sans before. Just changing with the mouse-over causes this. And it still happens now that I've upgraded to MAC OS 10.8. New version 17, new MAC OS and this still happens and is not a hardware acceleration issue. I'm stumped.
    What can we do? Do you want me to copy off the Firefox initiation lines from the console log?

  • Missing scrub control and subclip creation

    Even if you can accept all the stuff that has been thrown out in FXPX, which I am finding kind of tough to get my head around, does throwing out the scrub wheel and the ability to make subclips without doing it on the timeline make any kind of sense to anyone? I may be getting cranky and old and set in my ways, or maybe I am just plain dumb and have missed something, but if I have a 20 minute take and want to break it down into three subclips (which was a trivial task in FCP7) FCPX makes me go all around the houses to get the job done. If I start the job using the filmstrip in the event library and need to select precise frames for in and out points, I am reduced to using the j,k,l keys to set the markers - because of the lack of a scrub wheel - and even that is tough compared to being able to preview the clip and set in and out points using the dual screens in FCP7. The unified screen is great as long as you never do any more than trim edits on the timeline and completely frustrating if you want to prep clips as I described above.
    If any of the FCP team are reading this, great job on the speed and responsiveness of the app, but can we have our dual edit screens back, not to mention the scrub wheel? Not to mention all the other stuff that has been thrown away in the name of an attractive interface?

    @1OpenLoop
    Thanks for your suggestion.  
    But what I'm trying to get my head around is this:
    Assume I was creating a 3-minute film from 6 hours of footage of people being interviewed about dogs.
    In my current workflow, the first order of business would be going through all the footage, and as I found a good statement, let's say, about poodles, I would make a subclip and place it into a sequence I'd name "poodles." I'd do the same for "shepards," "collies," etc.  I wouldn't need to spend time typing in keywords: simply select a rough in and out point and do a quick overwrite edit to place the clip into its appropriate "logging" sequence. 
    When I'd looked and "logged" all the footage in this way, I'd create a new sequence which would be my First Pass of the 3 minute film itself.  
    I'd then be able to rapidly go through (scrub or quickly play) the "poodle" sequence, e.g, and find clips that I'd then copy and paste into my First Pass Sequence.  I'd do this for all of the initial sequences until I had a rough assembly of the film. 
    As I went along I would duplicate the First Pass Sequence to create a Second Pass Sequence, etc until I had a final cut.  
    This process has been very efficient and very fast. 
    I'm afraid the need to type in keywords might be much slower.  And the inability, as I understand it now, to have multiple sequences at my fingertips, could really make creating this kind of film a cumbersome process.
    I'm not giving up on FCP X yet, but I'm getting close.  
    If anyone has ideas on how to approach the kind of editing I've described in FCP X that would bring things up to speed, I appreciate it.
    I need to decide whether  to stick with Apple or start seriously looking at Avid or Premiere.
    Thanks.

    I'd first suggest getting a free SIM swap from your provider.
    Also, try your mobile network settings at 3G and if the same continues.

  • Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

    I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
    I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

    Hi
    The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
    To post the full stats from your router
    for home hub - 192.168.1.254
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
    Click on More Details and then post the results.
    Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
    Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
    Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
    As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
    I have 3 of these and I really like them.
    From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
    Good luck!

  • Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please

    Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode?  If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little.  However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode.  Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.

    Macbook pro retina display get so hot its very uncomfortable to write simple emails please be advise. went to genius bar and told me everything is normal:!
    I have to desagree its not normal !!! be advised

    Open up activity monitor and under all process, see how much dock is using.  highlight it and hit quit process.
    since you're already at activity monitor, hit quit process on anything else using more than 10% of your CPU's resources.
    see if your Retina runs cooler once you've done that.
    good luck.

    My iPhone 6 is only getting 3, sometimes 2 bars on my wifi....and its slow.....my 4s got 5 bars all the time on my home wifi.....any suggestions?

    Did you actually read what was written.
    The poster stated his/her WiFi is slower not cellular data.
    To original poster go here: http://www.apple.com/support/iPhone
    There has been posts claiming that your router works on 2.4 MHz. Versus the 5 MHz. Available on A/C/B/G/N wireless routers.
    See if a solution has been found other than switching to 2.4
    Good Luck

  • Why my ipad close programes to title bar and i open its again?

    Why my ipad close programes to title bar and i open its again?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
