I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

How exactly do I transfer my dvds to my ipod using quick time pro 7?

I keep seeing how to transfer them using the videora software, but can I transfer them using quick time pro 7? if so, where can I geta step by step tutorial on it?

ok. In the link you gave me, it says if I have not
already recorded my movies then to click on a link it
has there, but it's only for mac users, I have pc. do
I need to record my movie if im using a pc before I
can transfer the movie? if so, how do I, since that
link if for mac users only
That link is talking about getting the video off a digital video camera. You want to get it from a DVD and we've already established that you can't do that with Quicktime Pro.
Getting video off a camera using Windows would be specific to your camera and the software you use to do it.

Quick time Pro

I would like to post video footage on a website, and I have them in all sorts of different formats. Can I use quick time Pro to convert them to a certain file I can upload onto the website? Thanks.

Candice, welcome to these discussions.
The basic "rule" is if QuickTime Pro can play it, it can convert it.
You may run into troubles with some .avi files and QT Pro can't export the audio track from MPEG (1 or 2) formats. Other software is required (most of it free) to convert your .mpg files.

Quick Time Pro in Windows 7

I have quick time pro 7 but use it in Windows not Mac. I can't find a way to play a .wma file in quick time pro. All I can see online is codec software to allow wma files to play in quick time if you have a mac. This doesn't help if you are trying to use quick time pro with windows.
I have a movie I created in windows live movie maker and want to play it in quick time pro or more specifically import it so I can export it to a m4v file to upload the video on my iphone 4s. The video orginated from my iphone 4 as mov but I found it much easier to edit in movie maker over quick time pro but now can't save the file as mpeg4 or m4v in movie maker so I need to be able to open the save wma in quicktime pro.

The Windows version of QuickTime Player can't open Windows Media Player formats.
The only reason the Mac version uses QuickTime for WMP files is because of additional third party software.

Quick Time Pro not working - Video to iPod

I have not been able to copy video to my new iPod using Quick Time Pro
In this case this is a MPEG-4 to the Quick Time Movie format( MOV )
I have followed the tutorial of exporting this MPEG to the iPod( 320X240 ) format.
The exported file plays well on iTunes but when I synchronize the iPod I get a message that the file format cannot be played on the iPod and a Help-Link back to the same tutorial
I even tried converting a MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, with the same results.
Help & advise appreciated !
Thanks,

Did you check Window - Movie properties before converting?
QuickTime requires seperate video and audio tracks in order to produce a file for the iPod with both video and audio.
If the MPEG-2 you are trying to convert is muxed it will only take the video part of the muxed track.

Do I have to buy Quick Time Pro every time I upgrade?

I don't use Quick Time Pro much, about once every three or four months. Seems every time I want to use it, I've inadvertantly upgraded my system and have to purchase QuickTime Pro all over again.
Is there any way to avoid this regular price-gouging? Are there other non-Mac programs that don't do this?

There are a number of free converter applications available that handle both QT compatible compression formats, as well as, other formats (e.g., MPEG, AVI, DivX, 3ivX, WMV, etc.) assuming you have appropriate QT components installed. I personally like MPEG Streamclip and/or ffmpegX. Both complement QT Pro and each other when it comes to various strengths and weaknesses.

Quick Time Pro Still images duration

I am using Quick Time Pro version 7.7.5 to edit video clips. I am adding a still image to the beginning of each clip for illustrative purposes but need to lengthen the amound of time the still image is displayed after it is attached to the video, preferably for about 5 seconds. How would I go about doing that?

This is where "add scaled" comes into play. A still image doesn't have any "time" but if you add it scaled to an audio track you can give it a duration.
Open any audio track in QuickTime Player Pro and make a five second selection. Paste that selection in a new player window and close the source file.
Make sure all of your image files match the dimensions used in your video before starting.
Open the first of your image files, select all (control-a) and copy (control-c).
Switch to the 5 second audio track, select all and "Add to Selection & Scale" from the Edit menu.
Open the Movie Properties window (Window menu) and "Extract" the video track. This is now your 5 second image file. Name and save the file and close the image audio mix file without saving.
Repeat for your other images.

I bought Quick Time Pro to help edit videos and now cannot SEE any video through my Quick Time Player

I can hear the audio for each video BUT the window for SEEING the videos does not open- it remains "closed" on top of the start/stop/pause controller. HOW can I fix this so I can also see the videos I want to edit?
It worked fine the day I uploaded and began using Quick Time Pro, but has not since that day....

If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

Quick Time Pro - converting movie formats

I am having a frustrating time with Quick Time Pro ... its most likely me, but I do need help.
I just purchased Quick Time Pro for the purpose of taking some previous movies (in the AVI format) that I have burned to a DVD ... and ... convert them to the mov file extension so that I can put them into itune movie library and play them on my new Apple TV.
After a long time with technical support, I finally got Quick Time Pro installed, but now I can not open up the movie ... with Quick Time Pro.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
I am totally lost right now. I do need help.

To begin with, AVI is a file format--not a compression format. It simply signifies that the audio and video compressed data is spatially interleaved for synchronization purposes and thus prevent one form of data from "overrunning" the other. It is an old file container for which its originator, Microsoft, officially dropped support more than a decade ago in favor of new, more modern file containers.
In order to convert the AVI file, you must first ensure that your system's QT component configuration supports the compression formats contained in the audio and/or video tracks. This may or may not be obvious. If the files open and play in the QT 7 Player, then they are likely edit/conversion compatible with QT 7 Pro. However, if the files simply load in the player but do not play or will not open in the player, then one or more tracks are not supported by your QT components.
Since the AVI is somewhat outmoded, the data contained may or may not be supported by your Leopard OS. Some older compression formats have never been transcoded for Mac us and those that have may never have been transcoded for OS X. The normal thing to do here would be to determine what specific codecs were used to crete the file and then install them if they are available. However, many inexperienced users simply install the Perian component package and hope for the best as this component package includes support for most AVI codecs that have survived the transition to OS X use.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
Again you are somewhat mistaken. While the "Save As..." QT 7 Pro option will place the audio and video data in an MOV container that will likley import and play in iTunes, it does not ensure the resulting file will be TV compatible since the TV device player only supports a limited number of audio and video compression formats. For instance, a DivX/MP3 AVI data can be moved to an MOV file container which will import and play in iTunes if support by either Perian or DivX codecs (but not normally both at the same time), it cannot be played on an TV device. In such cases, you will need to "convert" the source content to TV compatible compression formats. The most commonly used TV compression format here would be H.264/AAC (with or without chapter, alternate audio, and/or AC3 audio tracks). Once properly supported by the proper components, the DivX/MP3 AVI example above could be either opened directly in the QT 7 Pro player and converted to the TV preset or saved to an MOV file container which cold then be imported by iTunes and converted by iTunes for use on the TV device. (This latter option does not require QT 7 Pro be keyed.)
ADDED:
To clarify what QTKirk said, data burned to DVD for playback on commercial DVD players would normally be converted to "muxed" MPEG2/AC3 or MPEG2/PCM (VOB) content. However, AVI files can also be burned as "data" files in their original AVI file format. You need to look at the files contained on the DVD to know for sure and select the appropriate workflow as needed.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
