QuickTime :: Define A 256-color Palette When Using Graphics Codec

Jun 15, 2012

Who would want to encode in 256 colors? Why would you use the ancient Graphics codec?? 

Well, I am. Get over it!  If I just encode a movie with Graphics codec, it obviously looks very dithered and crappy.  

I can generate an optimized color palette in Photoshop and export that table to an .act file. But how do I associte that color palette with my Quicktime?

QuickTime :: Missing Codec FCP Exported

Apr 16, 2012

I'm having a problem viewing some .mov files due to a missing codec.  A contractor delivered me video content from a recent event on an external hard drive. The files he sent me are .mov files that he exported from Final Cut Pro using a DVCPRO HD (720p60), linear PCM, Timecode codec.  I want to be able to view these files through Quicktime on my machine, but I don't use FCP.  I tried installing the Apple prores decoder, as another thread here seemed to indicate this might solve my issue, but when I ran the installer, it said a newer version fo the decoder was already installed on my machine. Is there any straightforward way to download/install the codec I need to view these files without shelling out for FCP?

Mac OS X (10.7.2)

OS X :: How To Find Home Directory For QuickTime Codec Install

May 30, 2009

I'm trying to install the Xvid codec for Quicktime. And in the ReadMe file it tells me this his how I install the codec:

To install this component, just drag the File "XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha.component" into Library/QuickTime. The Library directory can be found either at your home directory (to install just for the actual user) or at the top-level of your startup volume (this needs an administrator account). Do not put in: /System/Library/QuickTime.

It is possible that the QuickTime directory does not yet exists. In that case you can create it yourself. Pay attention to capital letters if you use a case sensitive file system (i.e. UFS). But I haven't got a clue where the Home Directories are.

Applications :: What The Best Codec Pack To Play Videos In Quicktime

Nov 5, 2009

I've just tried DivX for Mac [URL] but found out that it doesn't support .srt subtitles. I'm already using Flip4Mac for .wmv files, but I'm looking for a codec pack to play all other codecs like Divx, Xvid, H.264 with subtitles support for .sub and .srt files. I know that Perian is a good one, but is there anyone better?

QuickTime :: 10.1 Fails Since Lion Update - Required Codec Not Available

Mar 20, 2012

Since updating to Lion, and subsequently to QuickTime 10.1, many movies that worked fine before won't open now. I get an error that says, "A required codec is not available." Two things make this even more frustrating:

1. Some movies of the same type still open just fine. I can't seem to find a pattern that links the ones that won't open.
2. The movies that won't open are still available to preview in Finder. If they will play in Finder, why not in QuickTime? Isn't it just a QickTime "plug-in" that plays them in the Finder?

Hardware :: Color Calibrating Monitor Using Color Meter - How To Use Color Meter And Save Color Profile

Feb 20, 2009

before switching to Mac, I used an "X-Rite Eye One Display 2" color meter device with software. You can find them most places like Amazon for about $150. The device should still work, but I can't find any software for it for the Mac. After going to the X-Rite web site, I could find no software at all for the Mac as it is only windows based.

Surely someone out there has used a color meter such as this one as they are quite popular especially for graphics artists that use professional graphic monitors. I am hoping someone can tell me how to use my color meter (USB), what software for Mac Leopard I need and how to save the color profile in the Mac OS.

OS X :: Skim Command Not Found - Any Way To Create / Define?

Nov 2, 2010

I installed Skim to read PDF files in Mac, but if I write in the shell which skim or where is skim there is nothing. Then I guess there is no command called skim. My point is to create it, but I don't know how, can anyone help on this? How can I create a command? Then I'm using Kile and it gives me the following error:
/bin/bash skim command not found
I guess if I define the command this error wont appear.

OS X Mavericks :: Automator - Define Start Folder For Workflow

Aug 27, 2014

What I try to do is pick a photo from a defined folder ("gallery"), scale it and upload it to my Wordpress side. I automatically want to run this workflow every morning at a specific time so that the pictures changes everyday. It may sound strange that almost everything is done but two things are missing: 

a) How do I tell Automator to use a random file from the "gallery" folder? How do I tell it to use the "gallery" folder in the first place?

b) How do I schedule that task? Is there a scheduler function somewhere that I missed? 

Right now I use it manually as a service for images - that's why the first action is the copy action.Once the picture is scaled down to 230px and loaded into the folder "image_upload_temp" Hazel will take the file and upload it. I need to copy the file first to keep the original and scale a copy and then move it to the target folder because Hazel shall not upload the unscaled but only the scaled version.

OS X :: Character Palette - Changes Font After Double Click

Feb 17, 2009

I'm trying to copy over a specific cross (✚) character from the Character Palette to Photoshop, but when I double-click the cross it imports as another character and changes the font type to Myriad Pro. I try to change the font back to Lucida Grande but it just stays on Myriad Pro. I've noticed this happens with a few characters. I've had prior success with characters like command (⌘) which initially shows up as another character, and then I just change the font to Lucida Grande and it shows up correctly. I'm used to being able to just do a regular copy and paste in Windows but can't seem to figure it out on a Mac. (For example, you can copy and paste those characters I included above.) Edit: I just noticed the layer name actually comes up as ✚ so I'm not sure why it's not showig up in the actual layer. Here's a screenshot of the contextual layer menu.
