iTunes artwork
Is there a way to put artwork on .mov files in iTunes?

It doesn't seem to be working for me...at the moment it's the first frame on the video for all .mov files.

Thanks.

I'd do a get info on the item and then drag a image to the image box in the get info dialog.. that seems to replace the first frame being used.

EDIT: from within iTunes of course.

This doesn't seem to work with .mov files.

That is exactly what I want to do but can't.....it works with mp3s and mp4s.

Does it work for you?

Confirmed. iTunes seems to choose it automatically from within the clip (it grabbed mine from 0:10)

Edit: it seems to choose a different frame depending on the length of the clip.

The "Set poster frame" thing seems to work with my .mov movies - so the proviso is that the artwork you want to use has to be a frame somewhere in the movie. Otherwise, I can;t see how to add artwork to a .mov movie in iTunes. Would it work, I wonder, if you used Quicktime to convert the .mov file to a .mp4 file - because in .mp4 format it seems to be possible to add any artwork you like.

EDIT: Yes, it does. Took a .mov file, ran it thgouth QuickTime to convert to .mp4 (using the "pass through" video setting). Re-imported the converted file to iTunes (its file size was actually slightly larger than the source file afterwards), and then did "Get Info" on the file, and added the desired artwork (a separate .jpg file in another folder) under the Artwork tab. Presto, the converted file apears in iTunes with its new artwork.

My bad... it does work if you right click where the movie is playing... I was right clicking on the track itself.

You needn't go via Quicktime… just choose Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod and it does it for you. Fewer options, sure – but quick and painless!
