Video lightened in QTPro and uploaded reverts to original

A few short video sequences shot with my digital camera were dark so I lightened them with the A/V control ins Quicktime Pro, then saved them on my desktop.
If I click on the versions on my desktop, I see the new, lightened versions. But after uploading those versions to Photobucket, when I watched them they had reverted to the darker versions.
What's going on? And can I fix it?
Thanx.

What I meant was, did you use iPhoto to upload the video? Sorry if I phrased that poorly, what I meant was ‘How did iPhoto fit into the issue”.
Assuming that you uploaded it directly from the desktop - and therefore iPhoto is not involved - then we need to look at it this way:
1. The video is edited and saved. It plays back fine on your Mac.
2. It’s the correct version you’ve uploaded - i.e the saved version
then:
3. The problem is on the Photobucket end.
This is not as far fetched as you might think. I don’t use this service myself, but in my experience you get what you pay for
I went to the site and the first thing I noticed is that all the videos are flash (.flv) files. This means if you’ve uploaded a .mov or .avi file it has been converted automatically. This process of conversion may not necessarily respect the subtle changes you’ve made. In fact, in my experience with sites like FaceBook (which annihilates photos) how the thing looks on line after it has been “processed” is largely a matter of dumb luck.
So if the video plays back fine on your Mac, and you’ve uploaded that version, then the only place the problem can be is on the onlne end...

  • I took some video on my Iphone and uploaded it ot Iphoto - now I Cant locate the video and it has been deleted from the iphone?

    Thats pretty much it.
    Took the video less just over a week ago, subsequent videos and pics have been uploaded without issue and are easy to locate.
    Just cant find the couple of videos from that day.
    Cheers

    I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
    You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
    Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

  • I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases?

    I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. I originally started using iTunes on my PC so it has everything I have ever purchased or uploaded from my own collection of music.
    How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases? Do they do it at the Apple Store or at Best Buy? help!

  • What is the simplest way to make and upload video to YouTube?

    I’m a video novice trying to figure this out. We want to start making short customer testimonial videos and upload them to YouTube as part of a social media marketing campaign. I want to come up with a solution that is fast and easy, takes as little time as possible. On the recommendation of an associate I bought a Flip Video camera and that worked beautifully except for one problem, the audio volume of the recordings was ridiculously low. So am returning that.
    We have a Panasonic PV-GS65 and I can use that, but the only way I've figured out how to make a video there and get it onto my computer is to connect it to iMovie, let it play/load into iMovie, then from there I don’t know how to get it uploaded to YouTube but I'm guessing I have to do some formatting/compressing, then manually upload, and that is all way more hassle than I'm looking for.
    I LOVED the simplicity of the Flip Video approach. Shoot it, the camera directly in, select the video, push the upload button and it was done. If the audio quality was better I'd use that for sure.
    Any suggestions? If there’s something similar to Flip Video that I can buy cheap and use, I'll do it. If there’s an easy way to use our current camcorder, that’s fine too. But I can’t be messing around for 10-15 minutes trying to import, format and then upload this stuff. I have a business to run.
    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

    that will work if necessary, but it still more steps and more time consuming than my ideal solution.
    Would love to find something that makes the process as simple as Flip Video does.
    Man, if their microphone was just a bit more sensitive, that solution would’ve been perfect.

    How do I record a video on my macBook Pro's webcam and upload it to YouTube?
    Many thanks.

    Your posted info shows you are using Mac OS X (10.5.8). With this Mac OS, you can use iMovie, Photo Booth, or optional QuickTime 7 Pro to record and save a QuickTime video.  (Be sure to save in a YouTube Supported file format.)
    Then follow the YouTube Help instructions for How to upload your saved videos.

  • I uploaded a video from a flashdrive to my Mac and it compressed the video to lower quality and shrunk it in size. How do I get it to the original size?

    I uploaded a video from a flashdrive to my Mac and it compressed the video to lower quality and shrunk it in size. How do I get it to the original size?

    It changed the Aspect ratio of the video, as if it had been shot on a phone instead of a camera. When first looking at the footage it was in landscape aspect but when I transfered it to a memory unit to put on a different computer it uploaded it in a different ratio

  • I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

  • I uploaded videos to website server and when playing videos they keep buffering and stop & start

    Hello, I edited videos in PP CS6 and encoded 1920x1080 clips in .mp4 format. Encoded vbr 2pass 5.00 mbps , audio is AAC 320 kbps, 48khz. The videos play perfect in player on destop, and when downloaded from site, but don't play well
    in website player..Even after encoding down to 1280x720, and with a much smaller file size, they still don't play well on site. Please help-

    Jim, thank you for responding to my call for help. The internet server that I am uploading videos to, says that it is something to do with my videos size. Like I said I brought the size down to 1280x720 and also
    reduced the quality and size of the clips but they still buffered extensively. I had the designer change the player but that was not the problem. So I am back where I began. The server uploaded their video and it
    played with no problem so I am thinking its a small correction I need for html5 playability with my clips.

    It is possible your sequence settings do not match your source material. In the Project Pane, drag one of your source clips to the New Item icon at the bottom right, and release the mouse. That will create a new sequence that matches the properties of the source clip. See if that helps. If so, edit in the new sequence.

    A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
    A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say  for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
    If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
    Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
    A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
    The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
    There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
    Awaiting your information,
    Allan

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

    Normally a good place to start troubleshooting is to remove the non-Apple stuff, following the developer's instructions (often there is an uninstaller package available).
    If the problem goes away, and you need to run what you've removed, re-install one-at-a-time and test. If you do re-install, make sure you have the latest MLion compatible software.
