Using a small quicktime movie as a button (a hyperlink)?

Could anyone tell me if I could use a small quicktime movie as a button? iWeb seems to not let simply select the hyperlink checkbox for a quicktime movie. I would like to be able to allow my site visitor to click on an animating image (I exported from keynote) to take them to a different page.

Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.

  • Exporting HDV to Small Quicktime Movie

    I need to export an HDV sequence (1440x1080) to a 320x240 Quicktime movie. Can anyone please help me on how I can export this and maintain the aspect ratio. I have tried to export it using the Quicktime conversion, but it comes out squished. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using Final Cut Pro 5.

    Why 320X240? It's a 4:3 aspect ratio, and the only way you'll get your 16:9 images in that size is to letter box it in a 4:3 sequence, then export that letterboxed movie... Or use a pan and scan technique (cropping the original) and fill a 4:3 aspect ratio that way... but you can't get a 16:9 aspect ratio of images to fit right in 4:3 aspect any other way... other than to export as a 16:9 movie.
    You can in QT conversion, select it to be letterboxed using the H.264 codec too I think if it must be that size. I think 320X180 would come out right using compressor instead...

  • Problem using BufferToImage with Quicktime mov�s.

    I have modified the FrameAccess.java in an attempt to grab frames from a quicktime movie and output them as jpeg sequence. While I can use FrameAcess to grab the frames of an avi, I cannot get it to output frames from the quicktime movie.
    The qicktime movie I am using plays fine within jmf (in fact it was generated by jmf) and it plays fine within the standard quicktime player.
    However, when I use the bufferToImage method on a quicktime movie, it always outputs a null image (I have tried various methods).
    I have provided my complete code (which has a hardcoded link to a quicktime file). Any ideas? Has anyone been able to do this? Perhaps I have a format error? Should jmf really be this confusing?
    Thanks,

    Andyble,
    Thanks for the suggestion. When I use your line, my Image is no longer null (and the resulting BufferedImage is not null either), but it outputs a "black" in the jpeg file. Any other ideas? What did you mean by a -1 F for the frame rate? Did you mean changing the format to a negative 1 frame rate? I tried that, but it did not seem to have any change. Can you let me know if I misunderstood that. Thanks.

  • Small Quicktime movies & music show as 'Q' icons - take FOREVER to load

    I have a site - joelplimmer.com (I created a re-direct - it's my iWeb .Mac site really) and the Quicktime content is taking forever to load - it USED to load fairly quickly - I have gone into 'package contents' in my 'domain' file in application support and looked at which files are too large - strangely, most are < 10 meg, but many of those are ones that take forever to load. I've minimized some of the larger files I had on the site - still no luck on .Mac (it looks fine when I publish to a folder, of course). So, I tried deleting EVERYTHING in my joelplimmer.com folder on my iDisk and re-publishing from scratch, STILL the same thing. I have tried this from different computers, both Mac & PC - with the same result. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    Of course it takes ages to load.
    4 movies on a page, 6 audio files on a page, I lost count. I left before the encore.
    Most problems are not technical.
    Just using your brain will solve them. Try it.

  • Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

    I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
    In the manual it says:
    "Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
    If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
    I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
    Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
    Total bit rate: 29,794
    My exported file has this format:
    Dimensions: 720 x 480
    Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
    Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
    Audio Channels: 2
    Total bit rate: 2,151
    I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

    Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.
    Doug
    Double check:
    There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
    1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
    2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
    3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
    Is this what  you see?
    The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

  • QuickTime movie in Keynote 3 want to export Keynote as QT

    So I have a Keynote presentation. It is mostly images but 3 slides play small Quicktime movies. Interviews I did on DV, converted to 320x240 using Sorenson V3 and IMA 4:1 audio. In Keynote 3.0, they now have controls. They play great.
    But I need to export the presentation so others can use it without keynote.
    The only option seems to be exporting it as as a Quicktime movie.
    Actually, with trial and error, the Quicktimes in the Quicktime play great. BUT are missing controls!
    So anyone viewing the interactive Quicktime from a CD-R has no choice but to watch each clip. Longest is 17 minutes so a pause or stop is an option that is needed.
    Does anyone know how to get those QT controls (or at least stop or pause) into the movie inside the exported interactive Quicktime from Keynote?
    Is there a 3rd party solution? I'm desperate.
    Alternatively, if anyone knows how to do same but as a Flash file, that would be fine too.
    This was problem in Keynote 2.0 as well. My presentation size is big enough.
    Considering the convergence of audio and video all over Apple product line, I just don't get why this was not considered for the 3.0 update. I want to export my lectures for students to self run. I'm probably not the only university professor who shows video and would like Apple to deal with this ASAP.

    If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

  • FCP "Export - QuickTime Movie" gamma shift

    Above is an example of what happens when I do a direct export in Final Cut Pro, using the Export -> QuickTime Movie function.  As you can see, the image is significantly brighter and the colors are a little more washed out (this image isn't particularly colorful, but trust me, it washes them out).  I always thought the Export -> QuickTime Movie meant the image would not be compressed--that it was a straight export using the sequence settings. 
    The image you see above was shot natively in ProRes 422 (HQ) using an Arriflex Alexa.  It has never been transcoded.  The bottom image is what it looks like using Export -> QuickTime Movie.  Totally unacceptable for a piece of professional software, if you ask me. 
    I can't express how infuriating this is, to have everything looking perfect in FCP and then exporting only to have it look like garbage.  I've been able to play with gamma correction a bit and have gotten it PRETTY close to the original look, but this seems like a horrible workaround.   
    Anyone else know why this is happening?  Is there a fix for this? 
    I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 10.1.

    Sure thing, Meg. 
    Here's a source clip with "approximate" gamma correction:
    "Approximate" gamma correction makes the image look flatter within Final Cut Pro than it actually is.
    Now, the very same clip and frame, but with gamma set to "Accurate" :
    Now, things are switched.  The exported image looks flatter than the source clip within FCP. 
    Here's another tidbit of info--the frame from my first post was professionally color graded and exported as a self-contained movie--so there were no filters, FCP or otherwise, being applied there.  But the difference is just night-and-day to me. 

  • Export to Quicktime Movie Results in Aspect Ratio Distortion

    All of my original footage was shot in miniDV. I have created a sequence with the following settings:
    Frame size: 720 x 480
    Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
    Vid rate: 29.97 fps
    Ultimately the sequence needs to go to DVD with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. To export, I am using:
    File > Export > QuickTime Movie...
    I have tried using several different settings including:
    Apple Pro Res 422 NTSC 48 kHz
    Apple Pro Res 422 NTSC (HQ) 48 kHz
    Apple Pro Res 960x720 30p 48 kHz
    DV NTSC 48 kHz
    etc...
    All settings yield the same result: a slightly squeezed aspect ratio. At first, I thought that this might simply be the fact that I was playing back files in QuickTime which uses square pixels I believe. But in both DVD Studio Pro and iDVD, the simulation shows the same effect. (By the way, Finder's "Get Info" reads the resulting Final Cut Pro Movie File dimensions 720x486.)
    I'm fairly new to FCP so I'm hoping there is something obvious that I have missed. Can anyone explain what I need to do to get the video to DVD without a distorted aspect ratio?
    (Incidentally, I have managed to export using quicktime conversion with no problem. But I need the export to be a Final Cut Pro Movie File so as to maintain chapter markers, etc.)
    Advice welcome!!!

    Hi David, I know this was discussed in you posting already but I just wanted to make sure I had it clear. I have a 4:3 film and I've exported as a quicktime movie with current settings, which should be 4:3 and found that the image when played back in quicktime, looks horizontally stretched. Almost as if quicktime is trying to play it back as a 16:9 image. I think this is the same issue the other fellow was having but I just wanted to be clear. You're saying that the 4:3 image distortion is perfectly normal when played back in quicktime on a computer screen and that the export will look fine when put to DVD or sent to a monitor? I just wanted to make sure because this problem is freaking me out and I don't want to deliver a distorted image to my client. Could you also explain briefly why this happens with quicktime export and not quicktime conversion and what causes quicktime to distort the 4:3 image? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    james.

  • Export to Quicktime/Movie to MPEG-4 Quality Much Worse with Snow Leopard?

    I just tried exporting an HD movie from iMovie using Export to Quicktime - Movie to MPEG-4 for the first time since upgrading to Snow Leopard and besides taking forever to export, the quality at the same settings I've used before is terrible. There's terrible macroblocking even on relatively slow moving scenes. I've exported several movies using the same workflow previously to upgrading and the video was perfect.
    I use mpeg-4, H.264 encoding, 4096 bit rate, 1920x1080 HD resolution, key frame every 15 frames. It's definitely a change in the encoder as just sharing to the Media Browser results in expected quality.
    As a test, I tried upping the bitrate to 5120 but it didn't help with the macroblocking.
    Anyone with similar problems and/or a solution?

    I've actually started noticing more artifacts using the Share to Media Browser quicktime presets. The movies that are created don't seem to be as high quality as ones I've created before. It's almost like quicktime is missing keyframes or something and then artifacting. It's not consistent. I've got one mobile formatted movie where it artifacts badly in the first minute and then not at all afterwards. It's kind of frustrating.

  • Missing Render Files / Problem Exporting Quicktime Movie

    Everything was going great on my 21 minute project.
    I had exported it to iDVD via a Quicktime movie and it looked great in widescreen format. It worked perfectly.
    Now, for whatever reason, when I load my project, I get a message saying the Render Files are missing. I am unable to locate them anywhere. I had them stored along with my project on an external firewire 400 drive.
    So I press "continue" without finding the missing files.
    Now when I export my movie, it appears 4:3 with gray vertical bars on the side!
    When I view the project on the canvas, it looks perfect as 16:9. Everything looks normal in FCE.
    Did a render file get corrupted or something? Is there a way to delete all the "old" render files and tell Final Cut Express to re-render my entire new project? Would that solve my problem?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I did what you said and the "exported" file says:
    Kind: Final Cut Express Movie File
    Under More Info it says:
    720x480 Integer (Little Indian) Timecode
    Total Bit Rate: 30,313
    Why am I trying to export?
    Before I ran into trouble, I would export my FCE project using the Export Quicktime Movie command.
    I then used iDVD (set to 16:9) to burn to DVD.
    It worked perfectly before.
    But now, all of a sudden, the same project always shows up at 4:3, whether played in Quicktime or when burned to DVD using iDVD set to 16:9.
    The version of FCE is 4.0 and the version of Quicktime is 7.4.5
    Thank you again for trying to help me!

  • Quicktime movies into iDVD

    When I drag my movies into iDVD, it shows the names of the files on the main screen. How do I do away with all the names.
    And how can I get the movie to play through without stoping after each one.
    I'm using 8 little quicktime movies of my son.

    Hi David,
    Welcome to the Discussion.
    If you have QuickTime Pro, you can concatenate them one after another to form a long QT movie, and then import this to iDVD. If you don't have QT Pro, you can also use iMovie to import and chain these movies together into one iMovie project, and then use this iMovie project in iDVD.

The visuals look decent in iMovie HD, but after exporting, the piece looks very bitty and blurry, really quite bad. I've exported in every option available (email, expert, etc.), to no avail. I am interested in attaching the movie to emails to friends.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Are you using:
    File > Export > QuickTime Movie > Current Settings?
    Or are you doing a QuickTime Conversion?
    Try the first option if you haven't already done it.
    What codec are you working in?

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB
    Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
    I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:

    My problem is almost identical to these 2...
    No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
    Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

    HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
    1)apple pro res *for pc
    2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
    I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
    I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
    anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
    Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
    this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..
