Hi Bill,

i had the exact same problem. I haven't tried this yet, but how about reading out the posterframe for every movie file (i.e. in the app controller) and then setting the layer's content to the resulting image? Imho, as long as the image (in memory) is in a QuickTime compatible format, this should work. If you click on a/the QTMovieLayer, you then would have to swap the image against the appropriate movie file. I will give it a try this weekend. Hope it works.

Best regards,
Oliver

Hi All,

I tried this first on the QT list but no one seems to have messed much with the layers yet so I thought I'd post here to see if I had better luck.

I am using the QTMovieLayer to play movies in my UI, the play back works fine and I can animate etc but the layer is blank until I start playing the movie. Is there any way to get the poster frame for the movie to show up in the layer before it starts playing?

I have a workaround now that I'm using but its ugly (i get the posterImage convert it to a cgimage and place a layer over the movie layer as a place holder that I remove when the movie starts playing).


Thanks!
