Does quicktime pro support mpeg4

I have a video clip from a Hitachi camera that I want to edit in either Final Cut or imovie. The video is in mpeg-4 format which both do not recognize. Will buying quicktime pro help my computer to recognize it?

If the free version of QuickTime doesn't read a file format, QuickTime Pro won't either. If you only want to convert a file from one format to another, use the free MPEG Streamclip.

Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode?

Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode? It would record a new video with the source being what you are previewing, in terms of "animation" rather than in terms of the quality seen on screen. I often like to make humorous effects by dragging the time indicator back and forth, and have to resort to recording my own screen while in semi-fullscreen mode, then import that video and crop out the chrome. This obviously is not optimal and results in significant quality loss. Does Pr itself have such a feature built in?
I doubt it does, but it would be extremely useful.

Ditto what mark said. The intended purpose of the project manager is basically to do just as you said. It was a great solution for anyone that wanted to store the few usable minutes of their media and were confident in just discarding the rest. The problem is that, as Mark said, it doesn't handle the trimming of all common file types these days. That's because, in video, 'destructive' editing is always a matter of re-exporting edited versions and project manage simply cannot export every format to any format. The original files are never actually being trimmed down, you're just getting new versions to replace the old ones with. This represents another drawback in the form of generational loss. That's why the Project Trimmer many not be the ideal solution for you even if it is able to trim all applicable formats for you.
I tend to agree with Jim and thing that the better way to go is with Prelude. With that app, you can log what you want before hand and then capture (or, more accurately, 'Ingest') just those parts from the start. Still, it might be a good idea to save the original footage on memory card(s), hard drive(s)s (or , dare I say, tape(s_?). That way if you find out later that you didn't capture (or ingest) all of what you wanted, you can always go back and get it. Also you'll have an additional backup which could easily be re-captured from the original source if you've save the prelude project(s).

Does Mac Pro support SLI in Bootcamp? - Why not in MacOS?

Hi!,
I only have two questions:
- Does Mac Pro support SLI in Bootcamp?
- Why not in MacOS?
Thanks and... cheers!

Yes, the Mac Pro does support SLI in Boot Camp, however, Apple does not currently provide drivers for SLI in Mac OS X, this might come in the future.

Does Quicktime Pro convert VOB DVD files?

I'm very new to DVD although not to Macs (Thankfully). I'm ripping my hair out trying to convert Canon (rewriteable) dvds into a format the Mac will read. (Windows seems to support all dvds with Ulead etc....) Will Quicktime Pro convert VOB files into something I can play back on the Mac? I assume from other postings the files should be in MPEG-2 format. If not, what on earth can I buy that will do the job simply and cheaply....

Try Mpeg StreamClip: ( http://www.squared5.com ) it's free. It will convert from VOB to DV, QT and several other formats, but you will have to have the Mpeg 2 codec on your Mac to use it, that can be purchased here, ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ ) if you don't have it already.
Another sharware program for transcoding, to different formats and can burn to DVD when it finished transcoding is called VisualHub, found here: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/tryit.php . It comes with the codecs, (via a free download after VH is installed.
It costs $23.32USD

50+ Hour Movie, does Quicktime Pro have a movie limit length???

Hi, I currently making a 50+ hour "art" film, and I've been told that since Final Cut Pro's sequences can only be 12 hours long, I would have to stich about 5 x 12 hour sequences together in Quicktime Pro. Does anyone know of Quicktime's limitation's?? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Does anyone know of Quicktime's limitation's?
Would assume only you wll likely know for sure as I can't believe too many people would be creating contiguous clips of such duration. In any case, as a "temorary topic of interest," I conducted a basic experiment. Took a feww short cuts, however, to speed up the process. Used a two hour plus (1.5 GB) iPod compatible source file and "stitched" 16 segment duplications together. Total duration for the combined clip was 35 hours, 20 minutes, 18 seconds, and some odd frames and a final files size on the order of 24 GBs. Realize this isn't the 50 hours plus you specifically asked about, but figured it would make an adequate test for the purposes of this forum.
Would suppose it all depends on what you mean mean by limitations here. QT had no problem creating and playing the target file described above. In fact, I was very surprised that all 544 (16 x 34) chapters in the final file were functional. Took approximate 45 minutes or so to create the file. (Neglected to note exact timing) Since I assume a lot of disk caching was going on during the "set-up" and the actually writing phases of 24 plus GBs of data, this timing seems reasonable. Only real peculiarity noted was the accuracy of file/property info for the target file. While segments in the "source" file seemed to increase as expected as more and more segments were pasted together, these windows were found to be totally inaccurate in the opened target file. Total file (i.e., data) size displayed for the summary track was equal to the data size of the chapter track. Total audio track data size was depicted as zero bites while only the video track appeared to be accurate. Not sure if these inaccuracies represent bugs in QT player or a limitation in readout capabilities. In any case, the finder indicated a total file size of about 24 GBs which implies the audio track was actually about 2 GBs (which sounds about right here). While I assume there will be an upper limit to file sizes created in this manner, I would tend to worry more about disk caching and immediate HDD file storage space first.
Any advice would be great.
Not sure the workflow I employed (all at once stitching) would be the best in your case. Might be a better approach to "stitch" one file at a time in case your run into unanticipated problems. In addition, it would give you a chance to see if this process is a linear or geometric progression in terms of time and space requirements. Would appreciate you feedback here.

Does Quicktime Pro come with Apple Prores?

If you purchase a Quicktime Pro serial number, will you have the ability to export video using a Prores codec, or do these codecs only come with Final Cut / Motion / Compressor?
Also, if you purchase one of the three aforementioned pro apps, is Quicktime Pro included with your purchase, or is it completely a la carte now? In the Final Cut Studio days, I believe a Quicktime Pro serial came with the suite.

I think you need to purchase Compressor. It should include the ProRes codec.

Does QuickTime Pro comes in Final Cut Studio?

Can just anyone tell me if QuickTime Pro comes in Final Cut Studio? Thank u.

And can u tell me how/where to find it? Because I have all the updates and installed everything from Final Cut Studio but only the regular quicktime player version cames up (7.0.4). Thank u.

Does QuickTime Pro convert an ISO DVD movie to an mp4?

I'm thinking about purchasing the Pro version of QuickTime; but what I REALLY want to do is convert some ISO DVD Image files to the QuickTime mp4 format so I can put it on my iPod or view it with my AppleTV.
Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
Thanks,

Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
QT does not support "muxed" MPEG2/PCM or MPEG2/AC3 au either purchase the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) and download the free MPEG Streamclip app or use the free HandBrake app to convert your DVD imaged content MP4/M4V content for playback on mobile devices.

Does Quicktime Pro when installed offer more codec for iMovie Export

Hi
I have a client that wants Master quality 1080p LOSSLESS no matter what size for their presentations done in iMovie. I use QuickTime.
I know they want a true lossless codec that can be used in other edition programs. I was thinking on getting QTP7
If installed, does it have a master archival for video output that can be access from an imovie project.
Thank you
PS they also need to distribute to customer that use Premiere Adobe

QuickTime Pro does not give you more codecs, but Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro 9 will both give you more codecs. I don't use Adobe, so I don't know what they are wanting.
In iMovie, you can export in Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple Animation Codec. Both of these are full i-frame codecs.
If you have Final Cut Pro X or Logic Pro installed, you can also export from iMovie in ProRes 422, but the internal editing will not be in ProRes 422 so I am not sure that it would gain you anything.
If you had Final Cut Pro installed, you could import into FCP as ProRes 422, then import the ProRes clips into iMovie and edit it there, and then export as ProRes 422. But if you have FCPX installed, it is just as easy to edit it in FCPX.
It is possible that Apple's Compressor ($50) app would give you the ProRes codecs, but I have no way to test that.

Does Quicktime X support these formats?

So, I'm planning on upgrading my Macbook Pro to Snow Leopard soon. One of the features I was looking at was the support for modern codecs in Quicktime X. However, they never mentioned just what was now supported. So now I ask if the following containers and codecs are suported:
AVI (container)
WMV (container)
DivX (Codec)
Xvid (Codec)
Real Media (Both)
I tend to watch the bulk of my videos in these formats (conversion is not an option), so I am curious if Quicktime X will play them or if I will need to use MPlayer....

All I know is:
AVI-YES
WMV-NO but you can use Flip4Mac
Oh and you can also download Quick Time 7 for Snow Leopard.

Does Flash Pro support exporting projects to Android Daydream?

I've built an app for the Android platform, but I'd like to create a daydream app (Android screensaver).
Does the Publish settings support this? Any tutorials on this anywhere?
Thanks,
Greg

Nope.
A user can invoke Airplay from a native video player, or turn on video Mirroring, but that's about it. No way for AIR to feed content to a second display or even detect a second display AFAIK. Maybe somebody will develop an ANE someday....

Does Quicktime Pro convert mp4 to DVD ISO?

I already have MP4s, I want them to play on my DVD player.

QuickTime itself will not convert MP4s to a form that can be played by standard DVD players. However there are various programs for the Mac that can do this for you and some of them are free.
If you have an older boxed copy of Apple's iLife software it might have iDVD included which can do this, if you have Roxio Toast it can do this (but otherwise you have to buy it), I believe the free 'Burn' application can also do this - see http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html and there will also be others.

Does Logic Pro support Synth librarian function as once did emagic SoundDiver?

I once could edit the patches on my Kurz K2000 using emagic SoundDiver operating under Windows communicating via MIDI sysex commands. The Synth still works magnificently with great sounds. Since SoundDiver was sold to Apple a decade ago, does Logic now do everything that SoundDiver did? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Disappointing. I guess SoundDiver set out to serve every bit of MIDI hardware ever sold and that would involve a huge effort just to maintain it. Nonetheless, it's a pity Apple didn't figure out how to maintain some continuity --- a subset of what SoundDiver did. Same old, same old. Corporate takeover then shutdown.
What do Synth users do now? i.e. if it's all in software, can you describe in a sentence or two how one might go about achieving the same thing now, even using the K2000 as a controller? Thanks.

Why is there no QTVR/Pro support in QuickTime X

Can anybody tell me why is there no QTVR and QuickTime Pro support and in QuickTime X, and does this mean QuickTime 7 pro and QTVR features will no-longer be updated so they will be eventually dropped by Apple?

QuickTime X is only found on Snow Leopard machines. No Windows version. Not supported on older Mac OS's.
X currently doesn't support QTVR. Only Apple knows what the future holds.
Only QuickTime Player can be upgraded to Pro. QuickTime X has no "user defined" settings.

I want to join 3GPP clips together, will Quicktime Pro do that?

I have the Droid and I took some amazing videos at a concert. They are in great quality and I would like to join the clips together to make one longer video. I tried using iMovie, but it doesn't support 3GPP format. I tried converting the files to a format supported by iMovie, but the quality was extremely diminished. Now, I'm looking for software that supports 3GPP files and will let me join clips together. Does Quicktime Pro do this?

Try just changing files extensions to .mov, then edit in iMovie or Quicktime.
