Setting the Poster Frame

I'm editing videos in FCPX then sharing them directly from FCPX to Vimeo or You Tube. This is a great feature but I'd like to be able to set the poster frame before it leaves FCPX.
Anyone know if this is possible?

You can't. This isn't a function of the editing system, but of the application that builds the web page. It has to be set on there. Vimeo lets you set the poster frame.

How do you set the Poster Frame to display on a webpage with Quicktime Pro?

This is how the embed code is installed in HTML on my webpage. The Poster Frame image will not display when browsing the website in iPhone nor will the image display on the cached 8 image browser window in Google Chrome internet browser. Is there a way to include the poster frame or JPEG image in the embed code?
embed -- start
width="853" height="496" src="htp://example.com/mymovie-Desktop.m4v"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime"
embed -- end

Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
GetValueOrDefault
EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
questions...
To be clear:
Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

Setting the poster frame/image in CS5

Hello,
I am not sure if the title is even the correct term - so my aplogies. I have a video I edited in Premiere Pro CS5. When I put the video on an iPad the image thumbnail for the video is a picture from 10 seconds into the video. I would like to change it so that the thumbnail that I see on an iPad is the image from 7 seconds into the video. Is my terminology correct and how can I do this?
Thank you.

Haven't done it: google is your friend:
See post #3 here:

I wonder if there is a different property you can add somewhere that will do this without any manual activity, but I did not look further than this post.

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?

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.

I set a poster frame in the timeline, but the thmbnail in the menu does not update. Why?

I have used poster frames correctly in other projects before, also in encore cs6.
In this project, it's not working.
haveing had it working before, i'm sure its nothing to do with the OS, or media type, since that was the same in my previous projects. Any other ideas as to common causes?

I've seen weirdness on this one myself. Usually changing the poster frame by a frame or two clears it up.
I've actually gotten into the habit of setting my poster frames before I make the chapter links. That way it always works.

How do I select the Poster Frame when exporting to video?

PP CS6
I cannot find how to select the frame that I want to appear as the Poster Frame in the exported video.
I can select it I can change one by right clicking an imported video OK but not the sequence!
I've been through every menu I can find & even Lynda.com training!
I'm sure that there must be a way but I'm blowed if I can find it!!

There are two common meanings for the phrase "poster frame":
A standalone image on disk (JPG etc) which is displayed by a player before the video is loaded - commonly used by video player apps on websites (YouTube etc), InDesign and PDF files, etc. so the video asset doesn't have to be opened in order for the viewer to see what they're about to watch - although the image is normally captured from the video it doesn't have to be.
An image resource embedded into the XMP/ID3 data of a video or audio file which can sometimes be shown in the player, but is normally set because it appears as the thumbnail image when viewing the files in Finder or Windows Explorer. It's not part of the content stream, it's in the file header. In MP3 files it's used to store album artwork.
You can create standalone JPEG images from PP using the camera icon below the monitor and can semi-automate the export of a still image alongside your video using presets in Adobe Media Encoder, but there's no option in PP (or via Adobe Media Encoder) to specify the embedded poster image in a rendered media file. Several third-party apps can do it, either during render (Compressor / Squeeze) or after the fact (Quicktime Pro), but support for these embedded resources depends on the wrapper for the video file.
The ability to set a 'poster frame' in the clip bins in PP is solely there to help you organize your project assets visually - for example if the imported footage starts from black, or if you want to choose a frame where the slate is visible - but your choice has no effect on the sequences at export and isn't written back into the original footage.

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?

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.

How do i set the time frame of a waveform chart programmatically to be a 30 sec window or a 24 hour window

i'm using LV7.0 and what i need to do is to be able to set the time frame or range of a waveform chart programmatically before i start taking and plotting data. sometimes this window needs to be 30s wide and sometimes it needs to be 24 hrs wide. (in the first reference, i need the chart to fill up with 30s of historical data then the whole chart scrolls with each new data point). the data acquisition records data at a rate of once per second. i've tried to use the chart properties of XScale.offset, XScale.Range.Minimum and XScale.Range.Maximum but no matter what i do the time-stamp on the x-axis is always "00:00:00 PM" and "MM/DD/YYYY" even though values are seen being plotted on the right side of the chart as expected.

Okay, there seems to be some confusion here -- the X axis values are of type double, but they can be represented in the HH:MMS MMD:YYYY format if you want in which case it interprets the floating point as the number of seconds since 6pm Dec 31, 1903.
You can programmatically set this value using the XScale.Minimum and XScale.Maximum properties, but note that if you wire a waveform to the chart after setting these values the t0 parameter will override what you set using the property node for XScale.Minimum. If instead you leave the t0 parameter empty you can use the XScale.Offset property and wire the same value in that you wire to XScale.Minimum. Changing the amount you add to XScale.Minmum to obtain what you wire into XScale.Maximum will determine the time window size.

How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
Thank you!

Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
Thanks.

How to set the window frame icon of javafx.scene.control.Alert ?

Hi,
I am looking into using the new Java 8u40 Alert Dialogs (javafx.scene.control.Alert) and I am struggling with setting custom (application) icons for the window / stage.
I mean that icon, which appears in the upper left corner (on Windows OS) of the window frame, which you can set for normal stages with
javafx.stage.Stage.getIcons()
Similarily I want to apply a custom stylesheet to the Alert.
How can I do this?
Is it really only this way?
((Stage)alert.getDialogPane().getScene().getWindow()).getIcons().add(...) ?

I think you already have the recommended way to set an icon for Java 8u40. Maybe some future Java version might add some additional API to make it a little bit less clunky, but for now, just go with the same code you have:
((Stage)alert.getDialogPane().getScene().getWindow()).getIcons().add(...) ?
It is the same technique used in:
javafx - How do you set the icon of a Dialog control Java FX/Java 8 - Stack Overflow
and in makery's dialog tutorial:

Any way to set the Application frame to specific dimensions?

In order to make screencasts more easily, I'd like to make a small AppleScript or Javascript script that would resize the application frame to exactly 1280 X 720
I tried a few things in both AppleScript and Javascript but I can't find any reference in the docs on how to point to the Application frame and set its dimensions...
Any pointer in the right direction much appreciated!

Yes, we do use Apple Remote Desktop. However, we want the other computer to be black the entire time, whether we are accessing it or not. I just don't want the students to see the mouse flying all over the screen and getting distracted, so I just need the screen itself to be black all the time, while still being on.

How to set the target frame of a JSTree node ?

I have created a subclass of DefaultMutableTreeNode, I just have one question with my Default Constructor, is it correct? Suppose to be it should be super(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren)?
But when I do that it does not compile.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I suspect my contructor inside code super() is not enough the parameters got lost. (btw) i will give you the dukes, please just verify my code.
Thanks.
class MyDefaultMutableTreeNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
public String caption="";
public MyDefaultMutableTreeNode(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren){
super();
public void setCaptionString(String str){
caption = str;
public String toString(){
return caption;
}

Set the thumbnail/poster frame?

I use iMovie to generate QuickTime files, which I embed in HTML web pages.
Is there a way to specify the frame which displays when the embedded movie is not being played? I.e. the image that appears in the QuickTime player in the webpage, prior to hitting play.
Thanks for any help!
Mike

When I tried setting the poster frame in QT Pro and then saving the file, the format seemed to have mysteriously changed.
If you check the "Inspector" or "Properties" windows you should find that the audio and video compression formats have remained the same. What did change was the file container which I now assume is MOV.
When put online, the new files remain as giant quicktime logos, whereas the original versions would start to show video immediately. I think this may have been because I exported from iMovie as "streaming". Do you happen to know how to preserve this parameter when saving from QT Pro?
Not knowing how you are posting your files it is difficult to guess what is confusing the plug-in player. For instance, did you remember to change the file extensions in your references to match the new file container extension? Or, if you did, did you empty the download cache or force a page reload to refresh the page changes? As to setting the "Fast Start" option for auto playback while the movie is being cached to the local hard drive, this is normally re-set to "on" when you access the "Save As..." option in QT Pro. Of course, the file embedded setting is overridden if you embed an "AutoPlay" parameter with a value like "True", "False", or a specific cache load point that will automatically start playback when a cache download reaches that time reference. If you are using an application like iWeb to post your pages, then simply set the "Autoplay" option and let the application write the code for you. The hinted tracks are only needed if you are actually posting your files to a real time streaming server. The "Fast Start" content is what most users actually see/use here and are talking about whe the talk about streaming. In any case, until the logo problem is corrected, you won't know whether you file still capable of "Fast Start" auto playback.
As an alternative you can always "paste" a still frame of the same dimensions as your movie as the first display frame in your movie or create/code a separate "poster frame" still image to your web page. (I believe QT Kirk has covered this latter work flow a number of times in the QT Pro forum.)
