Set Transfer Mode & Transparency in a QuickTime Movie

Greetings All,
Working with QuickTime, I would like to know how to set the transfer mode to blend and the transparency of a text box to 50 using an applescript.
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: johnmiller1950

I figured it out. I added the following lines when building a script
set transfer mode of track "Track Name" of front document to blend
set transparency of track ""Track Name" of front document to 50

  • Setting Transfer Mode & Transparency level in a text box

    I am writing a text file to import into a quickTime movie to create subtitles. I would like to set the transfer mode and the transparency level inside my text file. Is there a way to do this?

    It's not as easy with QuickTime version 7 as it was in previous versions so some trial and error export may be required:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/jarticle.html?artnum=42643-en
    Two of my many "movies" that use text tracks:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/

    Adjustments to the "text with descriptors" file can be set with the Movie Properties window of QuickTime Player Pro.

  • No transparency in my Quicktime movies in AE CS3 -- help

    I'm rendering a set of animated captions on a transparent background. I need to drop them over existing video, so I need to maintain their transparency. I am, rendering them as QT movies, as animation, RGB+Alpha, millions + colors, straight: Unmultiplied. I can render a png sequence and hold the transparency, but I cannot get a quicktime movie to stay transparent. I get a black background. Can the Avid import the Quick time and key out the black? Am I doing something wrong. Importing the PNG sequence takes forever -- I have to ftp it across town and it toook an hour just to load onto the ftp site! Is rendering out to PNG sequences my only option. Why am I unable to get a transparent qt movie? ARGGGHHH!! I read on here that re-loading Quicktime might help? Has that worked for anyone? Is that the trouble? Anyone? Help?

    Well, what's the settings in the Avid? By default it will invert the Alpha, you may need to invert it in the Alpha key's settings by ways of the effect editor. Also make sure to choose the Alpha in the first place. If it's not been selected on import in the options, it will never appear once the system has converted the clip.

    Moving on...
    At my company, we create images, animations, video backgrounds and templates for PowerPoint and Keynote etc.  Keynote '09 (iwork '09) and PowerPoint 2008 and 2011 on the Mac, all work.  Now we're hearing that the transparent backgrounds are no longer being recognized (black background instead of clear).  Is anyone able to check this for me and let me know if there is a workaround or something? I can't find any documentation on how Quicktime changed with Maverick or Keynote 6, so need to do real world testing I'm only running '09 on my Mac and won't have Keynote 6 for another 2 weeks or so.
    Please let me know, I may be able to throw in a free subscription to our website for someone who can help me with this.

    Hello all... I'm maybe a little late to the party here, but I've had the same trouble for a while with both animated Transparent gifs and quicktime movies with an alpha channel matte.
    This morning I spent half an hour tinkering with the export options from quicktime player pro on my old laptop (I used QT 7.6.6 on OSX 10.8.5) and managed to make a "transparent" quicktime movie which plays in the new version of Keynote.
    If you have access to the old version of quicktime player pro, you can open your transparent, previously playable file (.gif or .movie) and use the ProRes compressor, using the "4444" option in the list of compressors. Make sure the colours are set to "millions+" to retain the matte and you shoud be OK.
    It works a charm... you have to re-import it, simply replacing the original file in the finder seemingly doesn't work, but you can use this method to generate a working version and take 30 seconds to re-import it into the keynote.
    Yes, the files are much larger than gifs. Yes it's a lot of messing around if you're not familiar with movies. But in principle it worked for me and sorted out a whole heap of my problems.
    Just for note, I've not tried exporting it to Powerpoint as I've no need to do so, or way to test it, but I guess that is a different matter.
    Hope that makes sense!

  • Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

    Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i  camera in iMovie 9.0.9.  The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page.  I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video.  I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

    I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
    That should work well in YouTube.
    If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings,  here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
    follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
    In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
    Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
    Data Rate: Automatic
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Unchecked
    Audio/Sound settings
    Format: AAC
    Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
    Other settings
    Size: Choose the original size of the video

  • Re: Primay IDE channel Transfer mode is set to PIO mode - Enabling DMA Stat

    Hi

    Hello suneel
    Sorry to interrupt this discussion but I feel it goes somehow in wrong direction.
    If I understand you right you just want to install WXP on your Satellite A300. Am I right about that?
    On this forum you can find, I believe, hundreds of threads with precise description how to do this.
    What you need is WXP installations CD with integrated SATA driver.
    Check please this page . There you can find nice description how to find SATA drivers. At the end you can also find link to guide for "Slipstreaming SATA driver into WinXp boot cd using nLite".
    When the WXP is installed just continue with WXp driver installation. If your notebook is WXP supported you can find them on Toshiba download page.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck!

  • How to set the file transfer mode to binary

    Hi,

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

  • Setting File transfer mode in SFTP using JSch (jsch-20070302.jar)

    Hi,
    I use Jsch for downloading and uploading files via SFTP. I am a facing a problem in the file transfer mode. When I download or upload manually the files seems file, but when I use my code to download or upload there is some problem. Actally the file has to be transferred in ASCII mode, but the code transfers it in binary mode. Below is the code I am using
    +import com.jcraft.jsch.*
    Session session = null;
    try {
    populateProperties();
    log("INFO","Download and Encrypt Program started",getDateTime());
    JSch jsch = new JSch();
    String host = tumbleweedURL;
    String user = tUserid;
    session = jsch.getSession(user, host, 22);
    session.setUserInfo(new MyUserInfo());
    session.setPassword(tPassword);          
    session.connect();
    Channel channel = session.openChannel("sftp");
    channel.connect();
    ChannelSftp c = (ChannelSftp) channel;
    c.cd("outbox");
    c.get("8",outFolderPath);
    }+
    Please tell me how I change the transfer mode to ASCII for the above code

  • Any way to protect a quicktime movie on the net?

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way to make a quicktime movie NOT downloadable from the web.
    I have a clip I would love to show on the web but I have to make 100% sure nobody is able to download and distribute it.
    Is there any way? Kiosk Mode seems not to be too safe (at least this is what I heard)
    thanks for your help

    The kioskmode="true" html tag only removes the "download" part of the movie controller and would only keep QuickTime Pro users from downloading your file via the controller. It also prevents "drag and drop".
    Any user could search through your page source code and find the URL to your QuickTime file. Dragging it to the "Downloads" window of Safari would allow them to keep a local copy.
    "Streaming" media files (requires special server software to deliver) are the most difficult to capture. Because noting is locally cached the best an average user could do would be to save a reference copy of your file.
    You could also use AppleScript to set internal flags inside the QuickTime .mov file as "un-editable". These flags can be reset using "hex editing" software but, again, beyond the scope of an average user. An example (one of mine):
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/
    Notice that the html code "forces" the QuickTime Player app to open instead of playing in a browser window. You own "Pro". Take a look at the menu options under the File menu.
    Notice that save, save as, export and share are unavailable?
    It would also be very difficult to use a screen recording app to capture my movie "window".

  • FCP Quicktime Movies works well in iDVD, but not in DVDSP

    Hello,
    I work in a film school with several iMac & PowerMac editing suites running Final Cut Studio 2.
    Every computer is set up exactly the same way, yet we are having odd problems with DVDSP on one of the PowerMacs.
    From FCP6, we export self contained quicktime movies, that we then Compress, and then import into DVDSP. This system works well on all of our new iMacs, but on the 3 year old PowerMac, the resultant DVDs that it burns do NOT playback on any DVD Players at all.
    Yet strangely, when I take the same QT Movie into iDVD on that computer, it burns a perfectly good DVD.
    I have even tried bringing the QT Movie files and Compressor files from the Power Mac and transfer them onto an iMac and have been able to burn them fine that way as well. This is occurring with all the FCP projects on this computer.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Sincerely,
    Marc Griffin

    It could be a few things, but it may be that the drive itself is dirty or going. It sounds strange but there were people on the board who ran into issues where they could burn the DVD but not play it back on the same drive. Could be something became corrupted. Also people have noticed some strange things happening if an install of Studio 2 was done over a prior installation - it seemed to be most reliable by doing a fresh OS install then installing 2. Also does the computer have all the updates to the software? Are all the computers running the same OS? Have you deleted prefs and repaired permissions?
    Also check your settings on the PowerMac, are you doing a proper build/burn? Did you set a first play? Are you using the same type of media?
