How to flatten Quicktime movie?

I have Quicktime 7 Pro. I used it to overlay an arrow image on top of my movie, and saved. I then emailed the movie to someone and discovered that when played, it keeps looking for the resource (the image that is on there) - apparently the arrow image is not included in the QT file I sent (which is weird because I deleted the image off my system, and still the movie shows the arrow on my computer, so it must have it somewhere else??). How do I "flatten" the movie file so that everything is in there and I can send that one file to others and they will see exactly what I see when I play the movie here? I tried the program "Lillipot" to flatten it and it didn't work - arrow still not visible in other players (although QT no longer complains about not being able to find it) - it deleted it maybe? I just want a self-contained movie file that has exactly what I see here. What's the right way to save/export/convert that?

Did you try saving it as a self-contained movie? That's one of the options.

How to export quicktime movie?

I was wondering how I can export a quicktime movie (camcorder film) to a smaller size but that can also be played on both Mac and PC computers? I tryed to export a couple time using encoding such as MPEG-4 but the movie accually was much smaller to view than the original and the second time I tryed to encode it at a bigger size, the movie played at the same sze as the original but at a lower quality because it was stretched.
Can anyone help me with this. I just want to export and save a quicktime movie into a playble formate for both mac and windows and also not taking up too much disk space either. Thank you.

One could write a book (I did) that explains what all the codecs do and where and when to use them.
You need only need to know where the file will be viewed and its source format.
As Rick has pointed out, most new digital cameras capture in DV (Digital Video) and they are nearly instantly ready for software editing (like iMovie). QuickTime Pro can also edit the .dv files.
Once you determine where the file will be viewed (the Web for example) you'll get an understanding of methods to "compress" the file to fit the planned playback.
Three major factors that reduce the file size:
The new dimensions (720X480 DV files) to Web 320X240 (DV uses rectangular pixels).
Reduce the "frame rate". If the source was 30 frames per second you can usually remove half of them (15fps). Use more fps if the source has lots of motion.
The codecs used. Compressor-decompressor is handled by the delivery format (.mov or .mp4). Some are more efficient and offer better quality when enlarged during playback. MPEG-4 is the most modern and will soon become the next generation of DVD (currently MPEG-2).
This is where your question can only be answered by you. The quality can be adjusted (some codecs offer "sliders"; good better best while others allow you to set a data rate) and only you know what is acceptable.
Rick suggests a "one minute" export and I agree. Use various settings and data rates and use your eyes to decide what is acceptable.
Don't forget that part of your capture was audio. If your camera captures only mono formats making the export into stereo does nothing but double the size of the audio track. The Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format found in MPEG-4 exports does a great job of reducing the file size. You can control these settings at export, too.

How to burn Quicktime movie to CD

hello- i need help. instructions on how to burn a quicktime movie to a cd. i exported an iphoto slideshow to quicktime so that i can share with family. now, i have a .mov file but don't know how to burn it to cd. do i need quicktime pro to do this? i appreciate any help. thanks

If you just want to burn it to a CD (or do you want this CD to play in a DVD player?) all you have to do is insert a blank CD, Choose to let the Finder handle it, drag and drop the file on the CD then drag and drop the file on the Trash (the Trash icon will change to a burn icon).

How to copy Quicktime Movie to DVD

I took some movie clips on a Nikon L4 camera and saved them to my HP Pavillion as Quicktime movies. I would like to copy them to DVD to play on my DVD player. Can I do this and if so how? Do I need Quictime Pro?
HP Pavillion a1600n Windows XP using Nikon Coolpix L4

You will need third-party software that can create a video DVD (QuickTime Pro will not create a video DVD). I'm sure if you search the net for something like "Windows video DVD create" you'll come across numerous such products. You'll need to make sure that any product you choose can import QuickTime movies, or get conversion software that can convert a QuickTime movie to a format your DVD application can handle (QuickTime Pro might do this, but you'd probably find freeware apps that could also do the conversion).
Regards.

How to make quicktime movie export interactive.

I've keynote 09 presentation that has images and videos inserted into it. I need to share this people across on internet. I've created quicktime .mov file for this. My file size comes roughly around 500MB. Everything is fine, only problem I see is when I play quicktime file on my mac mini it is interactive, so I click on mouse and it moves to next text or next slide. Whereas same file when I run on my Windows 7 machine it just keeps flying thru it without any interaction from user. Same thing happesn when I try to play quicktime file uploaded on vimeo or smugmug.com, file just flies thru all slides without any user interaction.
Is there a way where I can make my slideshow to be interactive ?
thanks
-mj

The problem probably is because you are opening the QT movie with Windows Media Player
Solution
Download Quicktime player to your windows 7 PC
Then right click the QT movie you made from keynote and select 'open with'
Then select quicktime (the QT player downloaded)
Hope that helps

How to view Quicktime movie on iPad

Hi,
I have the most recent iPad Air. Yesterday I took a video with my iPhone 4S. I emailed it to myself and some others, straight from the photos app. They were able to open it up on their computers. My iPad won't play it. When I click on the attachment, it just displays a grey screen saying "Video.MOV QuickTime Movie."
I searched and others with this problem seemed to have an issue playing other formats like WMV. This is straight from an iPhone. So I can't imagine the iPad should need a third party app for this. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Try playing with free OPlayerHD Lite app.

How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
It only provides a fixed time option.
Appreciate any help
thank you
jac

How to join quicktime movie fragments from the terminal?

Hello All,
I am looking for a way to join/concat .mov files into a single .mov file. We are currently using Quicktime Player to do this, but I am looking for a way to run the from a terminal in a script.(not AppleScript) How can I do this? Or if the easiest way to do this is with a short AppleScript/Droplet, how can I call that from a terminal and pass in the file list to concat?
Thanks

Freeware MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) includes an easy-to-use batch join utility. It's not run in Terminal, of course, but it's simple.

How to create QuickTime movie from JPEG and Audio file

My Sony Cybershot allows me to record audio files for each picture. When I'm reviewing the images, I can listen to the audio. However, these files are stored separately as a JPEG and a WAV file (having identical filenames, diff extensions.
Is there an easy way to merge these two files into a QT Movie?
Can this be automated?
Does anyone know of an app or script that can do this?
Many thanks,
Shayne

None specific for your task that I know of.
You'll first want to convert the silly .wav audio file (match the capture settings) to a more modern format which will also reduce its file size by a factor of ten.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
For some AppleScripts. Many no longer work with Tiger and QuickTime 7, however.
It may take some time but if you have hundreds to make it (Automator) can help speed up your workflow.

How to change Quicktime Movie size in Lion Server Wiki?

I am setting up a Wiki Server for our iPad deployment and want to embed several videos in the Wiki. I have exported them out of iMovie via QuickTime for use in the wiki. I have uploaded them -- and they work but they are TINY! You can't see what it being demonstrated! No matter what size I export them out to - they still display the same size...
Is there any way to edit the size of the way the video displays?

Have they came out with a patch to adjust system wide font sizes?
Not to my knowledge. One way of changing the size of the text is to alter the resolution. Admittedly it's a less than perfect solution but many on here seem to manage with it.
System Preferences>Displays - click on Scaled and select another resolution.

How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
10 mb.....
I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

How do I encrypt QuickTime movies?

I need to make some QuickTime movies available for review by associates. The movies have to be secure; that is, they can't be publicly viewable. The movies have to be playable in QuickTime Player on the desktop so the reviewers can see the Player's time index counter. (Embedding the movies in a web page is no good; the QuickTime browser plugin's controller has no time index counter.)
If I store the movies on a password-protected server, QuickTime Player's *Open URL* menu command won't open the movies. Apparently the Player doesn't know what to do when it encounters a password-protected address. It just sits there and does nothing.
QuickTime apparently has the ability to play encrypted movies, though. The user adds a "media key" in QuickTime's Preferences:Advanced:Media Keys dialog, which key is provided by the author who encrypted the movie.
An encrypted movie could be stored on a non-password-protected site. In other words, the movie could be publicly available as long as it's not publicly viewable.
The question is, how to encrypt QuickTime movies, and how to generate a "media key"?

Never mind. I solved the problem—without encrypting the movie files.
