Help: Video Focus
Quicktime
In order to watch the
video Clip of the Week, you need to have a free piece of software
called Quicktime installed on your computer. When you click on
the following link, a small window will open on top of this one.
If you have the correct version of Quicktime, you may see a blue
letter "Q" then after a moment, a test movie. The movie will have
a red colored TV with the HeadsUp! Reading logo shaking in the
screen.
Test
Quicktime
If the video did not
play, click on Install Quicktime.
Video Speed
Before watching each
video, you will be prompted to choose an appropriate video speed
according to your internet connection. If
you are not promted, you can manunal set your Internet connection
by clicking the "About Qucktime" button (see below)
and then "Connection Speed."
- Users that connect
to the Internet by dialing a modem, make sure that you use the
Slow option. Because of the modem, the video will act
more like a slide show presentation.
- Users who connect
through a cable modem, DSL, or at work, should be able to use
the Fast option. If the Fast speed is the correct option
for you, the video should play smooth with little hesitation.
If the video does not play continuously, please try the slow
speed.
Video Controls
The movie player that
shows the Clip of the Week is equipped with the following control
buttons:
- Volume

In order to view the
Clip of the Week, it must open in Quicktime. If the video is trying
to open in another application, for example Windows Media Player,
read through the following steps:
- Depending on your
computer experience, you may not want to fix this problem on
your own. Talk with your local technology expert to see if they
can help you.
- If you feel comfortable
tackling this problem, then check either the Windows Registry
or the "win.ini" file to make sure that Quicktime plays all
.MOV files.
