Unix program to identify file and video types

A co-worker gave me a link to this script which I am now using to quickly identify and sort batches of video files. It labels them with file format, video codec, view size and frames per second. Its not very polished but if you get the one from the download link at the bottom of the page you can just double click and drop a folder in the window.

  • Identifying image and video file names in my presentation

    I want to identify the file names of all the images and videos in my Keynote presentation so that I can re-assemble the presentation in Final Cut Pro . . .  I thought that just using Inspector might give me the file names, but it only shows me what the image or video looks like, but not the file names.
    My photo images are not in iPhoto (I don't use iPhoto), they're in various other folders.
    Thank you.

    There are two ways to find file names of media used in Keynote:
    1
    for a few images, select the images on the slide
    Inspector > Builds
    click on more options
    if there are no builds set up, choose an effect
    the file name will display in the build order:
    2
    It is more usefull and easier  to do the following:
    right click the Keynote file and select     Show Package Contents
    all the images and QuickTime files will be listed
    you can make a screen grab to make a note of the file names (in finder -  command shift 4)
    the files can be copied to a folder and imported into other applications for further work

  • Best program for getting music and video off my iPod?

    My hard drive crashed and now the only place I have a lot of my music and videos is my 160 gig ipod classic.  I'd like to get it off my ipod and onto my Macbook Pro. 
    Thanks

    iTunes & Finder might be all you need. Look at the link at bottom of the table in this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • PPro CS4 - imported .mov file and video playback is jerky

    Hi all.
    I have imported a Quicktime .mov file into a standard sequence. The audio plays back fine but the video is very jerky.
    I did an 'interpret footage' on the clip and see it's at a frame rate of 1.2480.
    How can I get this file to play correctly in a PPro sequence at 29.97 FPS?
    Help! My deadline is getting close.
    Thanks.
    Keith

    Thanks Bill.
    Here's what I could find... I hope it means more to you that to me!!! I see that the average frame rate is 13.58. If I interpret footage and use that rate, 30 second commercial plays in about 5 seconds.
    Thanks for the help.

I goes to my external drive J and the original video file has vanished, god i need help quick anyone please. Steve

    Hi,
    What is the version of Premiere Pro that you are using?
    Do you have any error logs related to the crash?
    Is the main footage vanishes away from the external drive as well?
    Thank You

  • .mov files and jello type images

    I have shot some footage in 1080p on a Kodak Ki8 camera to capture car travelling shots using a Camzilla suction pad camera mount  There are two questions I'd like help on.
    Firstly, I notice some shots seem to look as if the image floats as if it was jelly. Someone said this happens even with his Go Pro and he thinks it's to do with the CMOS sensors. Anyboidy got an opinion?
    Secondly -the files are all .mov files. I use FCE4.0.1 and need to know the step by step procedure to capture them to the FCE Browser so they can be dragged to the FCE Timeline. Do these need to be transcoded? I thought .mov was an Apple friendly format?
    Thanks

    1. is a rolling shutter problem and can be mitigated in FCPX.
    2. should just be able to import the media depending on the exact specifications and your system's capabilities.

  • Query to Identify File and Block IDs

    i'm executing the following statement
    SELECT segment_name,

    FROM dba_extents
    WHERE owner = 'OE'
    its executing in the case of OE owner but whn i type HR or others its showing no rows selected....
    plz suggest.

    It is not necessary that user who is in dba_users are also in dba_extents 100%. Chances are there may be some users who have only select privileges on different schema.objects. You will only find user name in dba_extents, if user is having any object in his/her schema; means empty schema will not be in dba_extents.

  • Enable video file and image file thumbnails WITHOUT enabling thumbnails for other filetypes

    Hello. I am new to Mac and pulling my hair out at some of the limited UI options
    I am wanting my image-files and video-files to appear in Finder (desktop etc) as thumbnails
    However, I DON'T want PDFs, Excel, Word, PowerPoint files to have a preview thumbnail
    Basically how things are now either way, it's very cumbersome visually to distinguish between file-types while cruising around my folders with a quick glance.
    if thumbnail previews are on for all, its hard to tell at a quick glance which are PDFs, Excel files vs. images
    similarly, the little "pdf" or "xlsx" or "docx" text overlay on these previews is so small and non-color coded as to be useless for quick-glance recognition of which filetype
    if thumbnails are off, it's impossible to glance at files in a folder and know which image or video each is without wasting my precious miliseconds clicking on them, or trying to actually read truncated filenames
    Here are some possible solutions which I hope somebody knows how to do:
    globally enable or disable icon previews by filetype (preferred)
    stipulate adding overlayed mini icons to certain filetypes
    example: if it's a pdf, show the icon preview, but overlayed on that would be the red Adobe pdf icon/logo roughly a quarter of the size of the file icon (like is possible in Windows 7).
    this way image and video previews can be seen at a glance, but having a big red or green or blue logo makes for immediate recognition of filetype
    (least prefered but could help) ...somehow change the font color and increase the font size of the overlayed "pdf" "xlsx" "doc" "pptx"currently standard on these filetypes while showing icon preview but ALL are miniscule black text no matter which filetype
    I'm quite dumbfounded right now that something for better immediate-glance filetype recognition isn't standard, or at least easily Google'able. All I've found is the Either/Other bamboozle.
    Would love it to hear of a solution for this. Thanks all.

    Put all of your separate flash movies into one move, and then
    use flash to
    load the movies into a top section of the flash document.
    Your site (this page) sounds like it would be best viewed
    entirely in Flash
    (at least easiest w/o reloading).

  • Large file size and fuzzy type

    I'm new at using FCE2 and composed my first short 4 minute video. It includes a still image, a PSD layered file which I discovered was quite handy, a few clips and type using the type generator. I exported it to QuickTime movie. Three observations: I was floored by the nearly 1GB size, fuzzy type, and the file on the hard drive says it's a FCE movie inclusive of the little FCE icon by the file name. I was expecting to see a QuickTime icon with file name and the type of file is a QuickTime movie. Is all this normal? I'm very disappointed in the fuzzy type. Oh, also, the still image became blurry. Why?? Just so you know, the still image was a special file 640x480 with a pixel aspect ratio of D4/D16 Anamorphic
    I saved the project under a new name and redid it taking out the Photoshop image, removing it from the bin also, and the new movie exported even larger, over a gig in size. Huh??

    Thanks for the reply Tom. After I posted the first time I went to the Finder, Get Info, and I saw that I could change the 'Opens with' to QuickTime and therefore it became a QuickTime file. About that Anamorphic business I read a 'how to' on dealing with images before bringing them into video. The tip says in the 'New' file dialogue box to choose 640x480 size and in the pull down menu at the bottom where you can choose the 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' it was suggest to use that Anamorphic setting. I did it but it certainly didn't look right but I went with it.
    Again after I posted I looked at the Format of one of the clips and saw the size to be 720x480, Compressor is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Pixel Aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601, Anamorphic field is blank. I'm running Photoshop CS2. So I went back there and created a new blank file to use a template for dealing with stills but this time I used the Preset pull down menu and chose NTSC DV 720x480 with guides and the Pixel Aspect Ratio automatically loaded D1/DV NTSC (0.9), clicked Ok and viola, the blank file looks exactly like the Canvas in FCE. I haven't played with a still with this new setting but I will try it on the little project I'm working on.
    As for viewing it, I am looking at it on my Mac flat screen. I went into QuickTime Preferences and checked the box for high quality, thank you. Thanks for reassuring me on the file size.
    I also don't know what "D4/D16 Anamorphic" means.
    I don't understand the fuzzy type. I'm aware these are 72 ppi files and video is not resolution dependent but rather pixel dependent. Computer monitors display at 72 ppi, televisions are higher. I have yet to complete the process of burning a DVD and playing it back on a TV. Maybe that's where I'll see the type showing up sharper.
    At any rate, just dealing with this itty bitty project tells me I have a lot to learn about video, never mind learning about how to use FCE as well.

  • What movie-video type files for a windows PC

    I have some movies (4.m4v type files) and videos (flv files) that I wish to send to a windows PC user.
    Will they be able to view them with their normal windows software, or will I have to convert them
    to other type files - if so... what type ?
    Thanks

    I recommend Gom Player. It can handle a wide variety of file formats including the ones you have stated. It is free and can be downloaded from http://www.gomlab.com. It can also play incomplete files and thus, very useful for unfinished downloads.

  • System exec, How I say to open one file and make operation in external program?

    Hi,

    Hi Fonsi,
    System Exec.vi will allow you to run commands like launching a program easily but it is difficult and many times not possible to execute commands within an application.
    A better way maybe to approach this though ActiveX. Please look at the following example that uses ActiveX to communicate with Excel.

    If you are not familiar to ActiveX and LabVIEW, please read the document below:
