Still... no QuickTime

Since the last upgrade to 7.1.5... still with no

please ? I did not have problems with 7.1.3 or
version before the last upgrade... and since 7.1.5...
I am not the only one to report weird story about
this version. Is there a solution or we have to live
whitout QuickTime and find other solutions ? Thank
You !
To Quick Time Kirk : To be more specific... no more movie trailers... keep asking for plugins and when I clic... I get QuickTime Download Page and keep asking for plugins «4.1.3». No problems for radio... only with video. My son as the same problem on is computer. Thnk You Kirk

QuickTime Pro Still Says QuickTime Player

Hello,
I upgraded to QuickTime Pro but my tab at the top of the screen still reads QuickTime Player.
How can I determine if I really have QuickTime Pro or not?
Thanks!
Jim

In the "QuickTime Player" menu, check "QuickTime Preference"s then Register. It should read "QuickTime Pro Registration"

Still Frame Quicktime Export with Interlace. what can I do?

hi.
do you know how to avoid the interlacing happening when making a still frame with quicktime conversion in fcp? I need some stills for promotional purposes but the interlacing is a problem obviously.
thanks for you help.
best rob

2 ways- make a freeze frame and export a still of that or de-interlace in photoshop.
The problem is you are throwing away half of the vertical resolution. If you're going to be printing these, they'll look like heck. I understand there's a niftyplug in called genuine fractals for photoshop that does a decent job of up-rezzing.

Still re quicktime issue

Do I need quicktime PRO to download .mov from net? I don't want to purchase something I don't need.
Thank you

"Do I need quicktime PRO to download .mov from net? "
No. The regular QT player can play .mov files.
Which QT version do you currently have?
Check your QT preferences to make sure the .mov & streaming settings enabled.
Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure the next 4 boxes are enabled also.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
=====================
If still having problems playing .mov files then I suggest that you also cross-post in the QuickTime for Mac OS Forums where the QuickTime experts hang out.
Good Luck!

Stills from QuickTime movie

I have been attempting to collect stills from QT movies and find they all have horizontal lines impairing the images. Is there any way to avoid this ?
Many thanks.

Oh, you mean the interlacing. You can usually find an interlace free frame every few frames or so. Of course this doesn't help for fast moving content because the image you want won't be available in a few frames (it'll have moved).
I'm not at my computer right now, but there should be a deinterlace option to deinterlace. Your picture will be a bit more blurry, but that's the only thing that can be done about interlacing.

How to capture stills in QuickTime 10.0?

I can't find a way to do it beyond screen capture of my laptop. That *****.
I also don't know how to get the controller bar off of my QT window. That *****, just less.

I can't find a way to do it beyond screen capture of my laptop.
The screen capture option is, more or less, the de facto method for capturing a QT X video frames. (Fortunately, as QTKirk indicated, the process is somewhat more evolved in Lion and Mountain Lion.) As for Snow Leopard, my preference and recommendation would be to use MPEG Streamclip's "Export Frame..." File menu option since it offers more features/export options.
I also don't know how to get the controller bar off of my QT window.
The current method of removing the control bar in QT X under Mac OS X v10.6.8 is depicted in the "ScreenFlow.mov" file found on the following URL:
http://downloads.walker4.me/downloads/Temporary.html
Since I did not include an audio track for the above "quickie" move, here is a desciption of the workflow used:
1) Open your movie in the QT X player and scub the playhead to the frame you want to capture and hover the mouse cursor over the display screen are.
2) Without movie the mouse pointer, mouse click the display screen once and only once to fade the controller bar. (Do not double-click the display as this will begin playback of the movie and do not move the mouse cursor or it will reactivate/recall display of the controller.)
3) Immediately use the Command-Shift-4 keyboard shortcut to enter the Screen Capture mode as you normally would.
4) Now press the space bar once to switch to the "Object" image capture mode.
5) When the camera icon appears, immediately click the mouse to capture the frame image without the controller.

QuickTime and Windows 8

Hello, I just resolve my problem to install Premiere Element 11 on my Ultrabook.
The new problem is that Windows 8 is installed on this Ultrabook and, and Apple doesn't still uprgrate QuickTime to run on windows 8.
Do you think I really need it ?
For now I wait and it seems to run for my AVCHD files.
I suppose the problem will come with my MOV files ?

IDVD, the Quicktime format and 16:9

Hi,
I´ve got a problem with widescreen format and Mac. I´ve edited about 10 short clips with Premiere Pro CS3 on a PC, but when it came to authoring the DVD found I no software for the PC that could handle 16:9 and 5.1 well. I´ve now moved the videos to my friends Macbook Pro and try to author a DVD with iDVD6.
I noticed that my problem was a common one; iDVD shows 16:9 material as 4:3 in preview (haven´t burned anything yet). Then I noticed that even when I play the video files on the Macbook, before even touching iDVD, they´re played in 4:3! On my PC, after being exported from Premiere Pro, they´re played as 16:9 (because they are 16:9!), but as soon as I move them to Macbook they´re played as 4:3.
Here´s the settings I used to export the files in Premiere Pro CS3:
File type : Microsoft DV
Compressor : DV - PAL
Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
Frame Rate 25,00 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Channels : 5.1
You see, the files are clearly 16:9 and they DO look weird when played on Macbook. I´m sure if I could figure out how to make Macbook/Quicktime player realise these are 16:9 videos, they would look correct in iDVD as well.
Any ideas?
Despite some problems, I really start to like the Mac.
P.S. If I export with the same settings, but change file type to Quicktime:
File type : Quicktime
Compressor : DV - PAL
Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
Frame Rate 25,00 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Channels : 5.1
I get a nice Quicktime file - in 4:3! What is the problem here, there´s plenty of settings showing that the export will be done in 16:9, but still the Quicktime format makes the final file a 4:3?
Message was edited by: abrotherus

abrotherus,
Your files are anamorphic 16:9 (16:9 content squeezed down into the 4:3 standard definition format). The files need to have the 4:3/16:9 'flag' set correctly in the file format to be recognized as 16:9 by iDVD.
One way to correct the files is to use Anamorphicizer which can be found at: http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html

"Installing support for QuickTime on your computer"

Trying to use PanoramaFactory software, which requires QT support to be installed.
I cannot install the further components as the QT install file (from the US site) that I downloaded defaults automatically to not allow Custom Install. (It also installs a French version of QT7 without any prompt, though I can live with that).
The following web-page gives the instructions from PanoramaFactory for using QuickTime with their software.
http://panoramafactory.com/help/hid_qtvr.html#installing
How do I 'force' my downloaded QuickTimeInstaller.exe file (QT7.1.6) to include Custom Install when the .exe file is run?
(I have looked at the QuickTime Tools and Utilities page, http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/quicktimeintro/tools/, but cannot not find the items I need there, which are
* QuickTime Essentials
* QuickTime Internet Extras
* QuickTime Still Image
* QuickTime Authoring)
I look forward to your advice,
S
hp compaq presario Windows XP live in France so OS is in French

To the best of my knowledge, Quicktime 7 no longer offers options about which components to install. Apparently it always performs a full install. So the information on that web page appears to be obsolete.
If you're not running PanoramaFactory 4.5, try updating and see if that fixes the problem. If not, or you are running 4.5 now, try uninstalling and reinstalling QuickTime. If that still doesn't help, you'll probably need to contact PanormaFactory technical support.
Good luck.

Photoshop CS5 won't open a PNG pct exported from Quicktime

I exported a move to still from Quicktime Pro, using the PNG compression settings, and when I try to open it in Photoshop CS5 I get the error message "Could not complete your request because the PICT contains data that is no longer supported in this version of Photoshop." Photoshop CS4 has no such compunction. And I was able to open them in CS4 and recompress them and get CS5 to open them, but this is really annoying. I often have to make screengrabs of Quicktime movies. Looks like I will have to do it staight from within Final Cut and not use Quicktime to do it.
I have included a still of the error message:
And a still of the Quicktime compression settings:

"I am curious. How can changing the the extension of a file format trick photoshop or software in doing something that it can not do.
I thought that it did not have the engine to translate the data. So what happens to a file by simply changing the extension. Is the data altered ?"
That's a real good question and something that's been a frustration since the introduction of OS X. Such behavior was never a factor in an Apple OS until Unix. Such nonsense was always part of Windows behavior. It seemed to me it was actually worse immediately after the transition from OS9 to OS X, then improved, now is very stringent again.
I have thousands of Illustrator files (suffix .ai). I have been working with several other vector programs lately, including Intaglio, a Cocoa product. Intaglio refuses to recognize a .ai file, although it is nothing but a plain text file with proper PostScript code. If I save the file out of Illustrator as an EPS file (suffix .eps) Intaglio has no problem opening it. The difference between a . ai file and the same image as a .eps is only a subtle change in some of the PostScript comments in the file, but nothing that really changes the graphic data. So why does the program give an error message with the .ai file that it is an Unsupported File type?
Even more perplexing, if I simply change the .ai suffix to .eps, Intaglio is perfectly happy with the file. It opens and displays perfectly. Nothing has changed in the file data by changing the suffix.
This kind of behavior seems to be an interaction between applications and the OS. The application calls the OS to perform certain functions and the OS demands a particular convention of the file name, or it sends back an error message and the application stops at that point.
Have you noticed that the OS asks if you really want to change a file name suffix? That's how insistent it is that the name be a certain type.
TextEdit is a program with no graphic capabilities. If I try to open a PostScript file with it, it balks. (I don't want it to display the graphic page layout - I want to edit the content of the file) A PostScript file has mostly plain ASCII text that can be read and changed by anyone who is familiar with PostScript. (There also can be some long streams of binary image or font data. Such data can't easily be edited, but a programmer could locate it, remove it, or move it around in a text editor program). TextEdit will not open a .ai or .eps PostScript text file as text, unless I change the suffix to .txt. Older (OS9) editors have no such problem and other "programmer editors" ignore the suffix also.
Programs should (and can) open and display (or reject) files correctly by the nature of the data in the file without any need to examine the file name.
Apparently, some applications (Graphic Converter?) have decided to ignore the file name nonsense and deal with the actual file data, as they should just like OS9 and previous Mac Oses did. But OS X "conforming programs" insist on the strict Unix way of doing things.
I have always felt there was some kind of passive-aggressive, arrogant insistence on this by the Unix/NeXT programmers who came with Steve Jobs when he returned to Apple. Early NeXT/OS X implementations of the Mac Desktop were very un-Mac-like and were eventually changed after howls of protest from the Mac community. But they never relented on the file suffix thing, apparently insisting that the human-readable file name was critical to the machine's understanding of the file type.
All this nonsense is unnecessary as the very simple workarounds prove and very inconvenient for the user. There's just finger pointing and standing on principle and insisting on adherence to some pedantic specification, rather than operational effectiveness.

Exporting from final cut pro to quicktime

hi,
i am trying to export my movie from final cut pro to quicktime. after exporting, the file is actually a final cut pro movie file, NOT a quicktime movie as intended. what am i doing wrong?
to export the movie as quicktime, i know i go to sequence>settings> set the settings and then go to file>export>quicktime. what am i doing wrong??? it seems so simple!
thanks,
farilee

You aren't doing anything wrong. It is still a quicktime movie, but set to auto open by FCP.
Two things:
(1) add a .mov extension to it.
(2) select it in the finder, and do a get info. Change the Open With... to QuickTime Player.
Make sense?

Limitations of Quicktime files (.mov and h.264) in Windows 64-bit.

It was recently brought to my attention (yes, I'm late to the party) that any file that requires the Apple Quicktime process for playback (decoding) is severely limiting my otherwise powerful system. The Quicktime process is a 32-bit process, which limits your editing functionality to 4GB of RAM—even if you have 32GB or more installed!
I'm starting this new thread because the thread on which this was brought to my attention wasn't directly related to these issues.
A few of my questions: Why do so many cameras create .MOV or .MP4 files that require QuickTime components? 64-bit QuickTime X has aparently been available on the Mac for quite a while, yet I presume they won't allow anyone else to develop a 64-bit codec for Windows, so why hasn't someone sued Apple for monopoly, anti-trust, conflict-of-interest, etc? And most importantly, in a world where DSLRs and off-board ProRes recorders abound, are Windows users really stuck with no option but to transcode the footage before heavy use in Premiere? The Atomos recorders provide the option of using DNxHD, however, if I understand correctly, that codec still requires Quicktime (I've not tested this bit). Is there a matrix available that shows camera / recorded format / requires quicktime / 8- or 10-bit / 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, etc?
To my fellow Windows 64-bit editors, how do you keep your sanity when editing "natively" in Premiere .MOV, .MP4, ProRes or DNxHD with the 4GB RAM limitation? And what camera / off-board recorder do you prefer to avoid both a long transcoding session AND get right to work with native 64-bit codecs?
Thanks in advance!

Just now. Yet, it seems to contradict my own findings. The article says: "In the case of Canon DSLR files, there’s something in the file header. Premiere Pro can recognize that the clips came from a Canon camera, and bypass QuickTime. This enables Premiere Pro to have smooth playback of DSLR files..."
The test I conducted was between files from a Canon 7D in their original format vs. an AVI file I transcoded from those originals using GoPro Studio (formerly Cineform). I load up a project and timeline with the original 7D files and then scrub the heck out of the timeline, back and forth. I have Task Manager open in order to monitor my RAM usage. I simply could not get past roughly 4GB. Once I deleted all the original .MOV files from the project, retaining only the transcoded .AVIs, the project cut like butter. The harder I scrubbed the timeline, the higher my RAM usage soared until it gradually, and gracefully came close to maxing out. Lol. Is there a better test I should run?
The other test I ran was a project where I took a single talking head clip of approximately 5 minutes in length. Nothing too taxing for the hard drive, and something that *should* be easy enough to play completely from RAM, once it played through once or twice. I cut this clip and staggered a few tracks on top of eachother. No effects, no transparency. The cumulative effect was a cuts-only edit, but on the timeline my tracks looked like stairs, etc (perhaps the stairs weren't necessary). The primary goal here was to watch how the system performed with a simple cuts-only project where Peremiere was repeatedly asked to access the same file from random locations in the file.   The .AVI version of this project, again, played flawlessly. The .MOV version played even worse than I was expecting, since cuts-only 7D footage is usually not SO hard on the system (even if it is limited to 4GB RAM). The .MOV project couldn't keep up. Period. As soon as the file needed to "jump back" on itself, the refresh rate became intolerable.
So is the 7D an exception to the rule stated in that article? It definitely seems to be limited to 4GB of RAM! If it isn't, why am I seeing this?
Also, is it possible that the footage from the 7D may not *REQUIRE* Quicktime to decode, but since Quicktime is found on my system, the 7D files default to using it anyway?
I've not tested my GoPro footage so thoroughly, but I believe it's limited in the same way. After a transcode to AVI in GoPro Studio, even 2.7K footage plays slick as a whistle. Not so when I don't transcode.
Further thoughts?

TS3961 Quicktime in Lion won't Play MPG/MPEG-2 format Video

I have OS X Lion but quicktime still says "QuickTime Player can't open "M2U02230.MPG" because a required codec isn't available." Does anyone know what codec is needed? Apple says that Lion will play MPEG-2/MPG format and MPEG-2 Playback Component is no

No, Quicktime does not natively play muxed formats.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.

QT X: Create and export still image?

Is there any way in QT X to grab a video frame and export it (full-size) as an image?
I think one could do this with QT 7 Pro (not sure). QT X allows one to trim, but the selection is limited to a duration and must be exported as a movie. I just want a still image from a video frame (and not including the Title Bar or the control bezel).
iMovie can do this, but even there it is awkward (many steps).
Skitch allows window grabs, but clicking on the QT window makes the bezel appear (and I have to run the movie at 100% in order to get an actual frame).
--Thanks.

Hi all,
On my main machine I still run Quicktime 7 Pro, even under 10.6, to do most of my movie and image conversions and dread when Apple remove what is one of the most critical basic tools.
Working on another machine I have come across this thread because it only has Quicktime 10 on it.
A solution to getting a single (controlled!) frame from a movie, depending on your screen resolution, is to use Quicktime 10's trim function to trim the movie to just the frame you want and then turn on looped playback in the View menu before pressing the play button. Then you can use Grab to take a picture of your screen without the controls in the way.
But come on Apple, exporting single frames (and the soundtracks) from a movie is a basic 20 year old function - please bring them both back.

Apple website says I don't have Quicktime 7

I downloaded Quicktime Player and made sure it was up to date so that I could watch videos on the Apple website, but it still says "Quicktime 7 required". I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime many times to try and get it to work, but it didn't work. ???

Try the following download location:

Did Quicktime 7.5.5 update kill my iChat video client?

Yesterday I upgraded my Quicktime to the latest and greatest via Software Update.... and now the video portion of my iChat client appears to be broken. It was working great before the update, but now it will freeze video, audio might continue and then when I end the chat it will crash.
I read some posts on the site about setting the preferences to 500 bps for video in iChat and 1.5 Mbs on the Quicktime Streaming preferences. This worked initially, but now I'm back to crashing.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Rich

I have tried the solution posted here, as well as one that I found in another board on this forum (Reinstalling Quicktime from the stand alone installer).
My situation: The video froze, the audio would work for 15 seconds or so afterwards, then ichat would hang and eventually have to be force killed.
I tried:
repairing permissions
reinstalling quicktime
getting the person I was ichatting with to update quicktime (this just caused it to crash on their end as well as my end)
The console output from the crash is:

some googling of these functions brought up people talking about Quicktime APIs, so I can only assume this is still a quicktime issue. If anyone has actually solved this I'd love to know, thanks.

Still... no QuickTime
