WWDC2003 Session 703

Transcript

Kind: captions Language: en thanks Amy everybody it's going to take me a couple of minutes to get used to my voice over the speakers and and also being in front of so many people with so much light going on in front of me the session is is is relatively packed with stuff so I was just talking to Amy about being able to fit it in the amount of time that we have in here I hope that we can do that in time the session talks about quicktime pro and i like to know first of all who has not purchased quicktime pro nobody one person over there kind of like shy going now okay so everybody a lot of you guys have have purchased quicktime pro have you guys actually been working quickly with quicktime pro in terms of doing maybe minor editing to your movies and that kind of thing well that's definitely some of the things that we're going to talk in this session another things that I want to talk in in this session is using quicktime pro in a professional workflow now last set last year I made a presentation at quicklime life similar to this one where the motor was going free or going really cheap and trying to produce media with just the 30 bucks that you put into quicktime pro and this year the motor is quite different this year is you've got quicktime pro you've got final cut pro you've got live stage pro you've got all of the pro apps you've got DVD Studio Pro and I guess that some of it is is talking about my experience with quicktime pro i often tend to gravitate to quicktime pro to do minor things instead of having to boot up Final Cut Pro wait for the whole thing two pounds on my powerbook I just do it in quicktime pro go off go off really quickly so that's kind of like the idea of this session I'm still going to talk about the typical the typical minor editing features of quicktime pro and another thing that i do want to cover today is is the deployment site where you can use quicktime pro to compress stuff i'm going to talk about it briefly but some of some of the other relatively obscure sections of exporting which some of them have to do with quicktime VR I don't know if anybody has used quicktime VR or expert at any quick time here has anybody actually ate in expert quicktime yard for quicktime pro okay a few of you so so hopefully it'll be a surprise for for others there's also a section that I want to talk about a DVD Studio Pro situation anybody's using DVD Studio Pro a bunch of you that's great perfect and I'm sure that you have seen this so this is what you guys will be learning in hopefully interface presentation the model was also produced developed and deliver that's also being for quicktime life and that's kind of like the structure that i have here now quick time is as you guys know people think of quicktime has video and sound but it's a bunch of other things there's there's quicktime VR this flash this graphics in QuickTime the extensibility via a third third-party components like excel or which other one I can think of flash for example is a component of QuickTime it's part of a mac OS which is really really important and cecilia to don't know why i put this thing at the very bottom of the slide it should be at the very top but it is cross-platform and that's one of the major major things about quicktime in relationship to other platforms like windows media and real even though the other guys are cross-platform they certainly do not compete in the cross-platform ability when it comes to quicktime quicktime is is almost identical on both platforms so quick client is at the core of the OS and this is a life that was released when when Apple presented for the first time the beta or the announcement of em OS 10 and the reason why i'm using this light is weeks at the bottom of the screen is has quicktime which is pretty much at the OS level now this is very important and one side is one of the most important things of a quick time and on the other side is one of the most difficult things to deal with quicktime important thing is being in the OS level that means that the developers can can write an application without actually having to deal with codex or deal much with codex and and I'm actually dealing with so many media time on the other hand the the thing that is sometimes negative is that the user must have quicktime stuff to be able to watch your content now the next one is is what is quicktime pro and i'm certain that most of you know that quicktime pro pretty much when you buy the $30 license you unlock the pro features of QuickTime which for the most part unlock the editing capabilities and a bunch of other capabilities in the quicktime player now how many of you knew that when you buy the license of quicktime pro you actually unlock capabilities of preview anybody knew that nobody knew that you knew that and and I think it also unlocked the capabilities of the windows application called picture viewer I think it's the name and QuickTime as most of the people think of quicktime as a player like not you guys but your clients or your customers and it's not a quicktime player it is the quicktime player it is the plugin it's a huge architecture under the hood audio and at the OS level and surprisingly enough preview is part of quicktime pro I like that one it's not many people know that so the pro features of when you buy the license of quicktime pro it unlocks this these capabilities of the player and it allows you to the first thing that allows you to do is to import medium to quicktime pro modify it an expert so it has support for over 200 media types there's a few of those on the screen you guys know that I'm going to flip over here relatively quickly because I have so much to cover so if i can get the powerbook please the first thing that I'm going to do is is it's a very very very simple example and you guys saw this this page yesterday on apple site and I don't know if anybody is like me I'm a total geek so I tend to be constructing and the first thing that I reconstructed is like oh is that a QuickTime lawyer what the hell is that well it's actually an image it's a j4 gif image depending on which part of the world you come from but check out what I'm going to do I'm sure that some of you have done this I'm going to opening a new window i'm going to copy the URL of the of the image and i'm going to go to the quicktime player sorry i may be doing this too fast so Oh wrong application I'm on the quicktime player and you can get file openurl in a new player and I'm just going to paste the URL which I had done earlier and as you can see it's a Jay Swarek is where whatever you call them you click OK and a quick time player will open up the image now it doesn't play over here that's basically we climb not playing it but if I play it you get to see the the Jeep animation which it's really cool the reason why this thing is really cool is because you can reuse media that was deployed somewhere else for example in this case I wouldn't do this because of the whole copyright issue but I could take that image and put her around my pictures that I was trying to take of my g5 so and make a slideshow out of that and we use me that already exists in a total different server for example in this case so so that's one very simple well very simple example so I'm going to close that one do some housekeeping now another typical thing that a number of you guys have done and a number of people want to do when they get to quicktime is make a slideshow or turn a bunch of images into a linear video or into a linear movie and in this case what i have here is a bunch of pictures that I took up stop animation outside of my window and it's I don't know I think something like two minutes in between the pictures or 45 seconds I don't remember but in this case I have 75 pictures in the in the stop animation or in the stop capture and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to import them into one linear movie which is just going file there's this thing called open image sequence and quicktime pro tends to be quite smart by selecting just the first picture as long as they are sequentially named you can open up the sequence so in this case is asked you at what frame rate you want to open up the image so if you render for example 3d out of 3d max or whatever 3d application and you just got a series of images at 30 frames per second or 2997 frames per second or whatever you can just choose the frame rate from here surprisingly no there's no other field but anyway most of the frame rates are there in this particular case I'm going to use 10 frames per second because the duration of the slides other why should we just fly over and I will be able to see that the image sequence another thing that I should warn you at this point is that I'm going to be open opening a bunch of images and a bunch of documents I'm going to keep them on the on this on the window or on the desktop and and I'm going to come back to them refer to them so hopefully I won't be messing with your mind so much and so here's animation the images are in this particular case 640 by 480 which which is what i got from from my camera and when you play them it's actually playing the stop animation so that's how the clouds move that particular day you can see a boat going behind Chris nice yeah that was a sunny day in Vancouver so you got to take pictures on that day otherwise it goes away and many rings and rings and rings okay so I'm going to leave that one over there actually I'm gonna hide it the next example is is opening flash media and this is kind of an important thing because again coming back to the idea of working with professional tools not just the free tools how many of you guys are actually working with flash media and deploying flash video for example with MX or a few of you guys well in this particular case what I have here is a very basic flash controller I'm not going to bother to open up the the the fla talk you're actually going to open up the Swift and the way I'm going to do it is just by dragging the Swift into quicktime player now this particular Swift is a flash 5 version and this is a very very important thing quicktime is one version behind flash so quicktime sinks has support for five so if you have a flash amex document and has MX only features it will not open in quicktime six hopefully hopefully the Apple guys will be able to catch up with that but for the time being that's not the case and what I have here is is it it's just a controller that as you can imagine kind of like that the Julia Child's think it's already precooked to match the same duration as my slideshow and when you click on the play button it planes and you pause and rewind and that's just the action scripting being in the flash document as you can imagine what I'm going to do later is I'm going to marry this thing to the slideshow but I'm going to leave it there right now what I want to point out is the fact that I'm opening the flash document with its different states and its timeline in the quicktime player now another thing is is opening text in quicktime which is yet another one of those 200 media types that quicktime support and if you drag a text document into the quicktime player the quicktime player doesn't like it I don't know if you guys can see at the bottom on the screen but the quicktime player is not highlighting but if this is an OS 10 thing it's not a quicktime thing so now it's same thing if you drag and press on the option and apple key that means force open so if i drag an open you can see the quicktime player the tiny quick nap restitution where you can like on like this it's highlighting so when I let go it's actually going to force open the text document in the quicktime player i could have just gone file open select the document and navigate to my nightmare of of hierarchy to get the dog just drag and drop or option Apple drag and drop would actually force the quit force opening the document and in this particular case it's just a text document in Spanish one of the things is that if you take a look at the document itself each one of the lines will be a sample and that sample we have a duration of two seconds so so that's how quicktime interprets text and i need to close that one now if I could go over to the slides please I'm going to keep on going with this life and as you can see we've done a few importing into quicktime pro so this is the part that that that I called what was the Komodo game the first word develop develop so this is where the developing part comes in so if I can just reach over to the PowerPoint slides please or to the keynote slides rather on the screen thank you very much and as you can see these are these are the way that I that I went over to drag an open media in the QuickTime Player there's a bunch of ways that you can do that and of course quicktime will support the 200 and so documents and media times now another thing that i wanted to talk about is is the movie properties window this will be properties window is it's a very powerful window it has a really to thalia to obscure interface i believe but the way i use it is to learn and to learn from up from somebody else so if I could switch over back to the powerbook please this is a real life example it's a real life that I'm going to have to do as soon as I get back to Vancouver I compress this moving for a nonprofit organization which they're making this really neat really neat conspiracy thing but I compress them in december of last year and just before I I flew over here they send me an email if I could compress the movies for their final for the final edit or for their new version and what happens that I lost my cleaner settings this thing was compressed in in cleaner 6 and and i love the settings like that i use back then so now i need to grab my settings instead of trying to fiddle around with my settings again i can actually use the what the engineers called the gene for window in the old days used to be the info window now it's called properties movie properties window we Apple J and with the properties window you can learn a ton about your movie in this particular case I'm interested in learning what codec I use what settings i use frame rate data rate window size everything so i can replicate those settings again and if you could look at the movies here the worlds of last year it's just a few seconds it looks quite nice this is a 288 kilobit per second version and and i don't remember my settings and it's true i really don't if you go to the i think it's in the general section now general section will tell you the battery and the file size now I've got the video track selected so now i can see that the batteries of this movie's 31.1 kilo bytes per second now clean air doesn't like skill upon the default setting in cleaner is kilobits per second so to figure out what i use in cleaner i'm just going to multiply that 31.1 times eight so i can get it into kilobits per second and as you can see the video has a data rate of roughly 248 250 maybe kilo bits per second now what about the audio the audio is 4.8 so i just need to do the same deal four point eight times eight and that will be around 38 I guess with my settings word around 40 kilo bits per second so now i can make a note of that going to cleaner and enter those settings without without having to fiddle around with the settings that i that i forgot in the video side of things or right in the video if i go back to the video this also format so as you can see i use swords with video three so that was the codec i use i did no use mpeg-4 i use sorensen video three signs 320 x 240 so pretty much i've gathered in my settings for my video to go into cleaner and most of the times you wouldn't be using your own movies the way I i recommend you guys doing it people ask how the hell do you get a really great quality video like the one on the QuickTime trailer site well open up the movie figure it out yourself not that difficult and one of the things that you going to notice in those movies is that the framerate is 24 frames per second watch out for that because their source is film this case the sources video so so when you see 24 frames per second that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to encode a 24 frames per sec for that I recommend you go to bens sessions for the pre-processing or for the other in coding sessions where they will talk about frame rates over here I won't talk about frame rate so this is a real life example of of how i use the info window and by the way the same thing on the audio side of things if i go to the audio track I go format and you can see in this particular case also the sample rate channels and and and sample size 16 bits q design those are the settings that i should enter in clean air 540 no 64 the next time i encode the upcoming content now who uses live stage pro v g home you're the only one I'm really surprised you guys got to check live stage pro there's this thing in life stage pro you guys like you know you guys know about live stage proach the authoring tool to make interactive quick times well I've got a very dumb down an example here of an interactive quicktime and it's a very dumb down example just for this particular section of the presentation it's a movie that has two sprites that when you click on the year it's just going to tell it's actually just going to send what it's called a debug string of the year that the computer sends out and also the quicktime version now for those of you that are authoring or for those of you who are actually you guys are should be authoring with live stage pro when you're doing your testing you should be doing your testing on the user's machine or on the playback environment should not be using just the live stage for a preview to see what you get this particular case i'm going to get the preview to show you what what it does if i open up the debugger window this is the debugger window this is my preview and when i click on the year you're going to see the year appears over here and when i click on the quicktime version live stage for a rather quick time return the version of quicktime that i'm using which you can use to actually make a decision of maybe showing a different video or go this way or whatever but but it's really cool to try anything in nine states pro where it has a debugger window but what about if you want to play it out in your users environment let's say that your movie should be playing on the quicktime player well there's this other thing actually need to quit out of here this is the same movie already expert us a QuickTime movie and if you click on it nothing happens because the text supposed to be sent to the debugger Queen knowing live stage pro over here there is no debugger or so you think if I go to the gym for window check this out if i go to my stride track there's this other thing called debug message messages which is just a window that will actually show you the last debug string that you sent in live stage pro so if i click on the year if i click on the year there we go the year gets sent over there so you can actually use this debugger window in the quicktime player to test your moving out and to send yourself messages see how your movies performing and for anybody that I getting to the authoring this is super valuable most definitely okay if I can go back to the slides please so in this case we've seen how you can use the info the gene for window and I love that name to to get some information and actually to learn from somebody else's work and also to debug your work and this is one of the things that you can learn from the gym for window and some of the information that we got right now now produce content you guys know you can edit media that you can mix multiple media types in QuickTime composite media this is a really neat and a really neat one where you can actually do compositing in real time and may attract media you can use the keyword to navigate in a quick time in the QuickTime timeline in the player in the quick you can locate the plate bracket whatever you want make selections and get time stamps all from the keyword these are the typical editing editing shortcuts that you would use to make selections to copy things to paste them around I'm not going to show you all of them basically because I'm going to get more into the profs stuff and let me show you a typical example here if I can go back to them to the powerbook thank you very much as anybody use squeeze version 2 now okay squeeze I'm saying squeeze version 2 because i don't i'm not sure if it was fixed in version 3 but in squeeze two when you compress your movies into quicktime or impact for into whatever squeeze sometimes we drop the last frame or the last two frames of your video so if you have something really important on your last frame you're actually going to lose that frame or you would actually going to lose that frame and squeeze two so just to show you a really simple editing feature this is just a QuickTime movie a DVD file that let's say needs to be compressed with with squeeze two and you want to just grab the last frame what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go to the last frame I always get confused between these key commands there we go so that's the last frame that's out of line II and pressing on the shift key and the arrow keys on the keyboard you can make a selection and check this out for those of you that you saw a spin see that little selection there I just made a selection of one frame which I want to just duplicate so I got that frame selected copy and I'm just going to paste it boom boom you can see here on the on the on the this is the actual info window now how the actual time of videos is changing that's because i'm adding frames over there so now I've added a bunch of fringe to the end I can save my movie with dependencies take it into into squeeze and who cares if we drop those last range I already put them there so so the interesting thing in here is is the actual editing capabilities now if I could go back to them to the lights please or did it with a picker has anybody used add an ad scale or rather have anybody not use at our ad scale in the QuickTime Player I see a few hands here in there okay this is a very interesting feature where you can actually in this case what I did is I copied and pasted it which in QuickTime terms when you paste media in actually whatever you have the timeline or the playback yet it will supply the current media and it will insert whatever you have in a clipboard in this particular case I was at the very end so nothing was pushed further down but there are cases where you actually don't want that you actually want the media to appear on top or rather at the same time as the current me you don't want to push anything in the timeline so that's what add an ad scale does in the QuickTime Player I'll show to you in a sex if you go edit add which is going to add the media to wherever the location of the playback here is without changing the length of the new of the pasted or of the added million I've scaled on the other side is actually what i have in this particular example is imagine that you copying a track which is the green one which has an expiration and you want to fit it into that blue light blue section which is shorter so what you would do is you would actually select that blue section in the movie that where you're adding the new one and select add scale in that case is actually going to shrink the duration of the one you are adding to feed that selection which is really cool now in this particular case be aware that the sample rate will change so if you have a video track and on the video track or an audio track and then you add scale to something smaller it's going to accelerate and going to sound like the chipmunks this is the same media in this amount of time or if you extend the reserve should we go right there yeah we're of that acting that with the second picture the second slice so if I can go back to them to the to them yeah you could okay now what I have here is I've got i already prepared this one I don't need this movie right here but at track I've got the marina movie already compressed I'll go over the compression later but it has the same it comes from the one that I that I open earlier and it has the same duration as my flash track now I think I have a flash track over here and in this particular case they both match perfectly so for the flash drive come and select edit or rather select all first i'm going to select the whole time keep the whole sample copy I've got it in the clipboard and if I go to my new my new movie now I can just go to this we add an ad scale if I go ad scale right now because I don't have anything selected except just the frame where the movie with a playback it is you would just add the flash track to that single frame now actually didn't oops i just learned something here anyway i was expecting to just appear on the first frame but in this in this case you'd actually appear on the whole on the whole timeline which is exactly what i want as you can see it matches perfectly from the beginning to the end so so this is the the example of a of an of an ad of an ad track so now if i play remember this this flash hat actionscript to actually play the timeline pause the timeline rewind the timeline so the flash track is actually controlling the whole quicktime player which is really neat and i'll talk about the compositing later but you can see right now i have the flash on top of the video which is not exactly what i want but i'll come back to that in a few minutes when we get into the goes into the section so if I could go back to to to the slides please there's another situation typical situation where you have video captured from an analog source or even from a DV source and you have noise on the edges of the screen black lines or video noise in analog video you would get terrible noise at the bottom at the bottom of the screen and when you compress your video you don't want those black lines there you want you don't want that noise because you're bait you're wasting bandwidth and you're actually distracting your audience from that from that added noise well if you have if you have cleaner if you have squeezed you can actually crop those things but there are cases where you may want to just crop those things in a movie that has already been compressed or even compress the movie in the quicktime player if you so like for example if you want to use the impact for codec now for that particular example if i could just jump back to the power of extremes what i have is i have the same TV movie which i don't know if you notice but it does have terrible noise around it this black line and when she exits the plane this black lines they should get reading really nasty so i'm going to remove those black lines so if i can go back to the to the slides so I can explain first what I'm going to do thank you very much what I'm going to do is I'm going to generate a black image or actually in this case I already generated a black image which is slightly smaller actually it's not so much the exact same size of the document and it's not only black it's black and white the white area are the ones that are going to be removed or cropped and the black areas of this mask image are the ones that are going to be kept so this I've done that in Photoshop the way I did is I I took a screenshot of my quicktime movie took it into Photoshop and that's where I measure the black area so if you see this document in Photoshop it's a black and black and white document that has that has the black area covering the area that I do want to keep in the video and I'm going to go and set the mask in the quicktime player and this is what it's going to look like show if i can go back to the powerbook i'm going to show you how to do that so I've got my noise movie here I've got my master was open up but I was made in photoshop and you're going to see that I've got the white area over here on the black hair in the center this has been already measured to to to remove the black line and in this particular case is a big document so here's how you do it again back in the movie properties window so called gene for window I'm going to affect video track and there's this thing called mask one of the properties of the video track right now it's set the whole thing is set to black which means show the whole screen but in this case I actually want to just show a smaller section of the video which was defined by my black hair as you can see the movie behind it actually changed size and the black noise is all gone so now I can compress this video without getting that noise you can do that same thing you can do the cropping in your and your encoding to like cleaner or or squeeze or heat flakes or whatever other tool you use so so that's a very simple example of masking so I'm going to leave that moving over there and I need to go back to the slides I think if I could go back to the partner to the to the keynote presentation please thank you very much now this is sort of thing where you can actually use graphic modes to control what gets displayed on the on the vid on the on the screen and I'm going to go back to the powerbook please and in this particular case what I've got is the flash and the video now if you select you can see a cat video / track now flash this is a great feature of flash that most people maybe don't know about but it has the ability or rather by default it has an alpha channel that removes the background and quicktime player gives you access to the to the graphics mode but it's called the graphics mode as to how the flash track is going to be rendered and i'm just going to use the straight up and as you can see the background of the flash track disappear quite nicely I should mind you that this is quite CPU intensive because of the real-time compositing that quicktime player is doing now something a little bit more interesting maybe maybe you guys know about this and you have done that but what about this it's got a quick that we are here it's got a bunch of nodes you can see the nodes over there Oh in these Mexico and I also have this other document in Photoshop you see that that little logo it has transparency it's it's actually saved as a pink document that's a PNG so I have it over here save it as a PNG document I'm going to open it in a quicktime player now for some reason I don't know why the quicktime player does that it looks it looks awful but that's not the way it's going to look like after I apply the transparency I'm going to select all copy or edit copy go over here now if I try to paste into the QuickTime vr you can't it's grayed out but this is how you do it quick WR works really interesting you can actually do some important modifications if you change the controller of the movie to the regular movie controller and now if i move the timeline nothing changes in the timeline but check this out I've got that available now so I can select all my timeline which doesn't do anything and add scale which would actually show the ping image to buy the video or throughout the VR now I can go back into the video track 7 was the last one added this is my my logo let me actually change the name first logo and graphics mode I can apply the transparency or the alpha channel story of the ping document and now i just made a really beautiful watermark now if i try to play this quick time we are it's not it's not showing us a quick time we are because of the controller so i gotta go back and set the controller for the whole movie to be quick time here whoo this is the part you go all that is so cool we have we have 11 VR that that actually has like a target so so it appears in the center and it looks like you can actually figure out the center of the screen and take advantage of that alpha channel to actually blend it into the background and you can also drag from over here as you can see just just just applying a really beautiful logo okay if I can go back to the to the slide please another very simple well not very simple very simple process a very very powerful process is adding multilingual capabilities to your players and to your movies and this is something that it's more and more important now these things particularly for example this presentation in the morning where they're talking about Japan and all these really beautiful things that you can do in Japan and we're getting the translation to Japanese thank you very much for everybody out there in the cabin so so multilingual content is becoming way more important out of these things and what I'm going to do is I already have to text tracks one in English and one in Spanish for this particular VR that I had done let me show you how you do it so if I can go back to the powerbook please I've got my my English and Spanish text text documents when force open them on the QuickTime Player both of them and then I'm going to attach them to the video or to the QuickTime vr so it's pretty much the same text in english and in spanish and it's just one sample it's just one single text and what I want is I want the text to appear to the right of the movie and stay there all the time so I'm going to grab the English track select all copy go back to the VR I cannot do anything over here so go back in the gym full window change the controller to the movie controller at scale whoops select all add scale so i added a text track i need to move it around text track and general i'm going to change the name to english yes English change the size on the location I hope I'm not going too fast I know I'm going fast and i'm just going to change the size to let's say to 20 or whatever x 240 1 73 x 24 ok done so I've got the English track version now let me add the Spanish track select all for the Spanish copy go back into the player at scale i have a whole time and selected at scale the same thing i added a new track i can just go into the channel choose name too thanks bye no change the size of the track adjust and you will be thinking yeah you're adding Spanish track on top of the English guy that's not what you want well that's actually what I want because quick time is actually going to this is a drag doing it with a just the drag and drop but quick time is actually going to select the Spanish and English track right now I haven't defined which one is which right now if you go to the alternate section for the particular track they all the both of both of them appear to be English so actually the Spanish is over the overlap in the English but you could change the English it's definitely English but it should be an alternate for the Spanish track and on the other hand the Spanish track should be in Spanish and it is an alternate for the English track so now if you have a machine or if you have a no answer that it's set to spanish the spanish version will come up and if you have a machine in English the English version will come up I need to change back the controller to quicktime dr and i'm not going to change the settings of my of my of my of my OS but in the preferences pane if you drag and drop the languages in there it will change the language of the US which is amazing especially for testing but you can also change the language in the quicktime player so right now i have the default language which is english and as you can see the english text track appears on top even though the flag that I mean the Spanish version is actually one should be physically on top but if you change the language to spanish then the spanish version gets deployed so if I were to deploy this move right now somebody had Spanish OS they will get that no questions asked no flickering no nothing if they had an English OS on our another OS they would get the English version that is cool really cool and I don't even notice that there's an accent over there so it sort of handles and particularly with QuickTime 63 handle sticks much better okay now that I'm over here another important thing that you can do in the in the in the info window which I will mostly recommend a sanitation has anybody used annotations a few of you guys you guys should use annotations when you use annotations pretty much what you're doing is you're tagging your movie to be whatever information you want in there and you can add a ton of things and the important thing is that certain databases and more databases now in a day are supporting this made of data so the databases can actually retrieve that data and returning on certain criteria display the movies that fit that criteria but so you can see this all the things that you can add in there but there's this particular one movie name it's really cool see the name at the top of the window which is X in the San Miguel dot a movie that's the actual founding you don't want that all the time sometimes you want something different I don't want the dot a movie there yes so when you actually apply a full name property in the annotations that is the name of the object that appears over here and it also changed the name at the top so you can actually use that somewhat to your branding and also of course for the searching criteria in your database so I'm going to hold that blew me over there and I'm going to go back to this line thank you very much so that was the language thing that was annotations we're definitely as more and more content becomes digital you definitely want to annotate it so it could be found much much much easier now this is the one that I was going to get I love this example the other day I had a student at school where he has a DVD project he has a steel menu has a transition that goes to another still me and for those of you that have the that have used DVD Studio Pro it actually has a color shift it makes a color shift so if I can go back to that to them to the quicktime I mean to the powerbook please let me show you what i mean and i'm going to hide the quicktime player and this is a typical DVD Studio Pro project where you have a still image this is my mind menu it has three buttons it's a still image doesn't it has no video you see there's no timeline and when you click on the marmalade button I should get a transition this is a video transition in the impact to that that goes to the last memory mini which is also still me and this is what it looks like if you actually open it on the DVD player oh I open up the wrong applications all right here's a DVD player if you play this thing on the player you're going to notice that the first men you have a gamma that tends to be relatively dark let me go fullscreen and play so that's that's the gamma and when I click on the memory you're going to notice how the colors in the shift transition is going to happen and then it's going to flicker again it's going to change the color again so it becomes brighter and then darker that's not cool that's definitely not professional and the reason for that is because the way DVD Studio Pro is actually handling the compression of the steel frames so you can actually work around it let me do it again dark right transition dark not cool really it's not cool so the solution is this the solution is turned that still menu into a video mini but you don't want motion you want still image well quicktime pro to them aid and with this in five minutes over there at school i'm going to really be quicker over here because i already person of the media and this is my transition it comes from Final Cut Pro I'm going to open it in in quicktime player instead of going to Final Cut Pro editing a frame and make it into the video an expert in the whole thing blah blah blah blah now quicktime player this is what I've got this is my video that gets turning to into impact to right now 68 the DB file and if you notice there are six frames before the actual transition happens or five frames or so so I'm going to select those pressing on the shift key you can see at the bottom okay that's too much over here have five frames copy make a new document paste so I've got a new video that is just five frames long you can actually see in the in the gene for window five frames long and I'm just going to paste a few more ten frames long like an old copy paste 21 second long select all copy pings two seconds select all copy paste for 6 8 10 click on copy Pink's 20 30 seconds I'm just going to make it 30 seconds long for the sake of argument here so now I've got a 30 second video of steel frame if i was to expert this document as video it would actually be one frame stretch through time but i want to turn that now into MPEG 2 and this is the part we're going to see the little progress bar that's one and just making in 30 seconds long and I've got DVD Studio Pro 1.5 in style I don't have final cut pro 4 but if you had final cut pro for it would be he would be the same the same deal pretty much and I mean a DVD color shift and I'm going to shave it here as my I always don't know how to spell that one I hope that's the correct spelling I use somebody mumbling that's the wrong spelling ok same so this is going to this is just going to compress the mpeg-2 video and now that I have the mpeg-2 video compress with the same compression application than the transition video there should be no gamma differences between the two videos which is which is why it's crossing the actual flickering of the video and and in this case this is this is how we solve the problem of that particular student by the way this is not the project a particular student was working on this is just some picture that I took on the kitchen utility and its use for my project here but now when I bring this document into DVD Studio Pro and attach the this video instead of an actual still image behind for the mini DVD Studio Pro will not flicker anything or the DVD player will not flicker anything so let me have it a QuickTime Player go back to final cut I mean to DVD Studio Pro I already made the one at the end the the video for them for the last menu and and this is how I'm going to do it i'm going to select the image for the recipe video for recipe menu sorry the picture asset right now it's a pict image I'm not going to change anything except select the video that I just made yeah that's the wrong spinning I want to loop it now go back to my memory video which is also a pict image and apply my mpeg-2 video that comes from QuickTime Player marinade video where is that he picked still me here we go that naming and if I preview this document look forget to forgot to look and if I preview this thing i'm also going to prove it in the player when i go to marinate there is no color shift oh yeah for those of you have used DVD Studio Pro you should be going yeah because it is it is terrible it makes your project not professional and and if you're wondering if it really works this is what it looks like once is on the player and you're going to know if there is no color shift so for those of you using even if studio pro and we want to do this my own so I go into the marmalade section no color shift yeah oh wow I'm flying this is great okay go back to that I need to go back to the to the slides please keep on loosing the clicker so we're here so so in this case what I have in the in the in the slide is to actually instead of just copy and paste in this light is actually to use a text track and add scale to change the duration I'm going to be really sincere with you I'd leave that on the airport coming here and it was not working for me which still shifting colors I have no idea why I'm really hoping and looking forward for the stump the expert session to bring that 19 but but in this case I just copied and pasted the frame from the fringe so that was a dime alleges it sorry if I could go back to the slides this is an important thing that most of you should already know but some of you may not know the difference between say vas export and save as self-contained and save as what quicktime means normally and this is a very very important thing if you bring me that's why i bless my my media opened on the player some of the media that i have in there I want to save but without recompression for example the one that has the the the mask I want to compress that one I want to make it into smaller video that would be deployed on the way right now it's a DB file on the other hand the one that has the marina stop animation that one has the flash player on top which if I recompress the flash player is going to be right around to video on my interactivity is going to be gone I want to keep the flash independent from the video so that's where you use the save or the export so save ass is going to make a movie self-contained actually say save ass self containing me it's actually going to make them with fast start so if for any reason you have a movie that for some reason when you deploy it on the web it does not fast start it's because something was changed in the movie when he was saved sometimes clean at five and I think Lena six still have that bug you make a movie that supposed to be self a fast start and it does not fast are you have to download the whole thing first and then clean it you can fix that by opening the moving the quicktime player save as self-contained it will make it fast start by default it compresses the movie heavy and flattens the file which means that it just makes it a little bit tiny smaller and put the header at the front of the document that's what makes it five start he also copies the media to the new file without recompression so in this particular case what I have the mirena movie and it's the flash track on top reference to another external flash document when I go save our self contained it's going to copy the flash media into the movie and will break any dependencies from any other files which is most important particularly on the web so how many people have you seen that you open up a QuickTime movie it opens perfectly fine on your computer even though it's coming from the web but if you try it on another computer that has exactly the same settings you open up the movie and it has a winding message from quicktime saying that the media could not be found if you want to search it well that's because the movie was not safe as self-contained now save normal it allows you to save references on the media which means does not copy the media think of the example where I made the slatch the another slide show the image sequence I have 75 documents in there right now that will that will be I have open on a quicktime player it's actually referencing all 75 documents so if i move that movie somewhere else i need to move all 75 movies somewhere else which is really cool because if i do it on my machine over here just by saving us as us with the pendency that's normal i can just make a real tiny document without actually taking my hard drive or taking a lot of space on my hard drive having said that most of the times you would not use that for for deployment another thing is when you just save save normal it breaks flash start so if you open up a document you add a frame and you just save that will not make it faster you actually have to select file save as self-contained otherwise you will not be faster export export is when you actually compress the media you go file export well there's actually one exception to that rule and it's when you're dealing with quicktime VR but for the most part when you're in video and you select file export you will recompress the media one typical mistake that but that that newcomers to quicktime do is they have a sore instant video movie for example they take it in in quicktime player then they select file export thinking that they're going to make it smaller Mairi compressing it further yeah you will be recompress in which is not what you want you know already compressed movie you're actually going to lose more quality than what is already x lost but a cool thing is for example in the case of the marina i'm going to export the document and i'm going to change the size i don't apply a filter and and that's the one that i ended up using in the player so if i could go back to the to the powerbook please that's my DVD Studio Pro project you get out of there let me get out of DVD Studio Pro and say well actually there's nothing there that's because everything should be in the quicktime player so i show you this one don't need to say that this is an example I've got my actually this is not a good example right now sorry that don't crash oh that is not cool okay he missed again I gotta prepare the the image sequence again but it takes no time so I'm gonna read for the image sequence import image sequence or open image sequence select my image sequence for the marina at ten frames per second and the one that I added that the flash player too it was a 256 by 192 video they also had different RGB values I don't know if you noticed that that it had more saturation it had better well I think the colors I like the saturated colors so in this particular case I do want to compress this thing to a smaller version right now it's itself it's a it's a referencing movie that refers to all 75 documents check this out see it refers to all of this document but I would I would I about all 75 so I want to compress this movie because I want to compress I go through the export not to the same selection and I'm going to compress to a QuickTime movie I'm going to shave it in the right folder otherwise I'm going to get lost now most of the times you guys go into the settings window and you set your codec which is perfectly fine so I'm not going to get into the detail of that there's a whole session of encoding but I'm going to get to this section here I mean of you have used the filters button and I scene about five or seven hands in the room maybe 10 in total well the filters would actually allow you to modify the media as you get compressed similar to the filters that you can apply in cleaner 5 or shrinks or or squeeze or whatever the only difference is that you can only apply one filter at once which is which is not good but in this particular case I don't need to apply much filters i am i'm actually going to change my hue saturation and lightness to make the colors a little bit more vivid and you can see an example here of how much this image is changing and this is all so new in quicktime six I think where you can resize the window nice and you can see how how it's actually becoming brighter and more saturated which is which is what I want for that for that particular slide show so I already modify my hue saturation and lightness as a filter and and also the size I don't want this humongous 640 by 480 I actually want a 256 by 192 document so you click on the size button and you can enter whatever size you want and click cookie click OK and let me save this document ass we're gonna compressed and I'm just going to wait for that little bar to go through it's compressing the movie to mpeg-4 it has no audio it's just the video but it's resizing it applying a filter and I'm applying the codec so those those those features are quite nice too now I was supposed to say that the QuickTime vr movie that had the little logo but unfortunately this thing crashed on me big time and I'm not going to stop for that so this is this is what it looks like now the same as version you see the color values are different file size of course is quite different you can also seen that in the info window the file size of the original would be around 65 mix and the size of this new one whoops that's another one the size of this new one is is just 227 kilobyte so it has been compressed has been applied filter and this is the one which I added the flash track for controlling so let me actually do that let me actually go through that process which is adding the flash controller length matches copy pings select all and scale go into the gene for window for the flash track apply the graphics known as you can see I've been doing this for a while it's already done get out of here now this document here has pretty much everything but if I go file export and we compress again it's going to render the flash to video and that's not that's actually going to lose interest tivity and right now if you take a look at the files section here it actually depends on two documents which is also not good if I deployed this thing on the web I need to save it as a single document at that point that's where i use that's where you would use save as self-contained by default is safe normally I don't understand why but save as self-contained marina flash and you're going to notice how them are in a flash does not depend on anybody else you can because I say that self-contained it's also fast I'd so if I upload this thing to the web server it's going to start playing as soon as it has enough media you don't have to wait for the whole 227 kilobytes download well on a 56k modem I guess is quite a quite a bit of a of media okay I said a preview once part of of of quicktime pro and not many people know about that but let me show you how preview works if anybody ever heard or or worked with QT iaf images quicktime image format i think what's called and nobody's raising their hand okay i'm getting into a territory that has not been touched by my audience okay cutie i f images we set the perspective for that how many of you have seen quicktime movie that tries to be playing by the windows media player on a Windows machine and a few of you saying yeah oh yeah well the reason for that is again and and and and Frank was was talking about it in the morning like for God's sake having the three players on one machine well some people do that actually most people do that they have three players and depending on which one was the last one you installer the user installed that would mostly times take the extensions of other media files and try to play those media files so what's happening in that case is a windows media player is trying to open the dot mov document and of course having a Sorenson video or an mpeg-4 which is not supported by windows meaning I windows media just says no your movie was not authored property that's totally his living what's happening again is the windows meters open in a QuickTime movie Apple had made I don't know since when I think it was quick time three but they came up with this thing called quicktime image file format which is images whatever images that quicktime supports wrapped around a quicktime container and save as white call a cutie is is an image file the good thing about those is that windows media or real or nobody as of today have appropriated that extension so you can embed this cute eif image and then you will definitely know that if quicktime mission style quicktime will use that image or quicktime will be used to render that image on the web browser which is really powerful and the example is quite simple I have a picture taking from my quick tell VR which is just a pig I'm opening in Photoshop and now it's actually simple text Wow anyway this is just a pic that I'm going to use in my web page just to be able to as opposed to remove e that you click on it and pops open my quicksand vrm movie so this is a pic i'm going to open it up in preview and because i do have quicktime pro install or licensed as you would expect you got an export option i'm going to be really sincere with you that export option is pretty useless in in preview because it exports to the typical file formats that you would know which most of the times you would actually want to do that in Photoshop or in other applications but in this particular case the cute eif image that I want to create Photoshop does not create cutie ief images for some bizarre reason but preview dash clicked an image so what what what if i click on the options i can go and change my codec so my pict i can turn into a jpeg and wrapped her around the quicktime file format with a dot cutie iaf extension which windows me or real will not dare to open because those guys don't know a cutie is so click ok click okie and i'm going to call this thing just that time cutie Anya safe and if I open that document it's just a JPEG wrapped around the quicktime container now i can grab that image and better around HTML turn it into a poster movie and the julia child's thing you put it in the oven and you just pull it out I already wrote my my HTML for this while you actually was actually it wasn't actually mean he was page on which is free web application what I would recommend you guys use that right the HTML code for you ok sorry that I should have shown you if I go to the applications in here that's what it's called page on and I think windows too it's also always 90 s 10 and windows it's made by brick I think in France freeware I don't but if you go in if you go to version tracker if you go to just google and search for a page out and quicktime it will you will find that thing it's beautiful let me actually show you how it works and in this case i'm actually going to yeah i have a few minutes for this if you just Dragon Force opening page on what it does it grabs the size hiking with if it was a QuickTime movie you could specify the one controller or autoplay in this case I don't because it's just an image and and actually I want to make it into a poster image where you click on it it opens up the quicktime we are in a quick time player I think that's in the Advanced section where I can specify an href and what I want to open up in the hof is my quick time we are moving copy paste oops oops go run clinks want things huh what did i do run ok I'm changing the name over here that's that's bad sorry about that the href is my quicktime movie and i want to open it in a quicktime player so what I'm doing is I'm making a poster movie that it will be appear on the owner on the web browser you click on that poster movie and not comes in the QuickTime Player the QuickTime vr with the tags on my little logo at the top so I'm entering the URL quicktime player and if you take a look over here to show code hahaha you don't have to you don't have to make a typo for that class ID anymore copy going to be the edit or into your favorite HTML editor which mine happens to be be edit and paste the code you choose the size over here so you guys can read from the back and as you can see it has the name of the source the H RAF everything this program is worth its download 15 million times in dollars and so when you take a look at the final version this is what the final version looks like on safari which I just haven't had the chance to upgrade to the final version to the one point oh but you're going to see I've got my cutie is displayed by the quicktime plugin and if i click on that baby I should have my quick time we are popping up in the quicktime player so that's what a cutie i have image does and that's what preview does I mean not many people know that but preview is part of of quicktime pro and the last thing that I want to talk about today I'm actually really happy with the timing I thought that I didn't have enough time but this is it I have a single node quicktime VR it's just one node and let's say that for some reason is not fast starting you usually have to download the whole quick come here for some dishes something got broken in the process now you need to make it fast start well you would say file save as but in this particular case this is the only or QuickTime vrs the only exception where if you go to export for the single VR there's an option over here since moving to fast start quicktime VR movie which will actually flatten the QuickTime VR and if you want you can actually add you can add a preview image so you could have a preview image but it's lighted people what most people do is they have a lower res version of the QuickTime piyar you can have something else maybe like your logo or like some some other image doesn't have to be necessarily the same the same the same one and you can import it over here in this case I'm not going to import i'm just going to use the default which is just grabbing a smaller version at blur and this thing will actually make it fast start i'm removing the spaces for for web compatibility fast and articles in this particular case the export will not be compress the media will just recompress for the preview but not the actual vr so it's not going to lose any further quality now the reason why i have to click on be ours from this particular folder is because this is another typical example most well not most people a lot of people they make quick the VRS mostly for cd-rom listing in a multi-node environment so this particular movie it's a multi-node movie which this is no number one if you go down there that's node number two and if you go over here into the kitchen and I'll just walk the door you get node number three so this there are three nodes in here making the movie relatively large if you take a look at that at the Jim Crow window again we can find out what size this thing is and it's 570 case so let's say that 5560 k is too large for your for your and you don't want maybe they will never click on the second on the second node and you wasted all that bandwidth well how many of you guys knew that you can grab a multi-node quicksand we are in the QuickTime Player go again into the export window and because it's a quick time we are a multi-node quick time we are that the options changing here I cannot make the single node as it appear before but there's this other one down below and actually some people stretching their head to see at the bottom of the screen it says separate single node movies what this thing's going to do is going to separate the three nodes into independent movies now this is really cool because you can also generate some HTML now unfortunately I think that hTML is relatively outdated meaning I don't think it does at the object tag but I really get you going so you can control what what appears on them on the HTML tag and its ass target equals myself so it will actually generate the HTML where it will keep the note then not the number of the note and the linking of the note so it targets itself on the same thing you can go into the flat layer and if you want you can apply a preview your own preview whatever click OK multi-node export save and take a look at what quicktime vid for us it made three movies which if I open them individually these are my three notes one out over here whoops anybody working with quicktime we are around here yes another node and another note and it also made the HTML well again it's not the full HTML it's just the embed tag over here where you would need to actually add the the object tag but but if I just do something like this if I make a new HTML document new HTML document entitled whatever and copy and paste one of these guys in their taste in this particular case because it's a firing I don't need the object tag save ass let me shave in the same location as my as my other V is clicked NVR export and oops safe and if I open that document in the web browser it links to the three envy is because you've already wrote the code with a number of the of the ID numbers of the other different nodes so if somebody never clicks on this particular note well they never get to download that particular movie so that's say one on bandwidth and the very last thing that I want to talk about really briefly is something called quicktime media links has anybody ever heard of quicktime media links okay you guys need to take the advanced courses this this thing this this quickly media links are if you take a look at the QuickTime six documentation the geeky side of the apple site in the developer site it talks about what it's called a pre-flight movie or a pre-flight which can test if you're moving or if you play your compliance with certain playback parameters and if it does it something happens in this particular case in this particular example let me let me go back to to any where did my stuff go let's stop demo files for the QT is let's say that I want this quicktime VR movie that we've with with that I've shown a number of times nextera we wanted to go fullscreen but I want to make a go full screen without actually going to live stage 4 or into anywhere else besides cut this thing already done well you can make what it's call a cutie a quick time medialink document which all committees just text document it's an xml text document that will forge or i will indicate the quicktime player to take certain actions and the quicktime player will help you create a text document if you go file export you see down here at the bottom it says whoops that's not the one here move it to quicktime media link and this is the one that will actually make that that that document call a pre-flight see the extension changes it should actually save it here and I'll i click on the options now the URL this is the URL that is going to happen when this document gets played or open what I want is I want that URL which is the quicktime VR movie to go autoplay in controller to go full screen on the quicktime player so I've got this thing check for full screen now this will not modify the quicktime VR movie this is actually going to tell the quicktime player that the movie in bed URL should go fullscreen without even modifying or touching the actual quick convey our movie so I click oh ok let me save that as the how do I want to call this thing medialink the English safe if I take a look at the find it it makes something that appears with a QuickTime movie icon it is a cutie l which actually if you open it in bbedit it's a text document now if you embed this document what I've done in this case again they do the child's name I made a similar version of what I had before where the one I'm embedding is the QT I am see that in bed it's the QT I the cutie i F sorry hold on what am i doing all this quite advanced is the QT I am linking to the QT IL which actually triggers the quicktime VR did that make anything okay you did make sense so if we take a look at on the on the browser we open this movie on the rest let me actually quit the player altogether if I open that in the browser I have my quicktime image now when I click it will trigger the QuickTime media link that will in effect link to the quicktime VR full screen all without changing the actual quicktime we are so the player starts to bounce off goes full screen that's it so that concludes the that concludes my presentation i'm just going to flip over here to the to the roadmap and if you guys want to flip over to the podium Amy slide please okay so this shows you're just really quickly and the other sessions that we have going on in this room in the room right on the other side of this wall and this is for the rest of the day you can map out where you want to go and I'm amazing you want to take some questions we don't have much time though yeah we actually are out of time so what I recommend that you guys do is you know what Francesco looks like now I'd recommend that you find him throughout the conference he'll be here for are you here all week oh absolutely yes all right so thank you very much and actually let me show you we have contact info here francesco and dmort is our apple developer connection contact for you guys all right one Java there's a bunch of information there are different URLs different books where you can get some more information and to use the quicktime player you can also use the help section in a quicktime player just go file or help and not many people know that you
