Image Sequencing in Quick Time Pro
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have been unable to get Quick Time Pro to created an Image Sequence. I'm wondering if this is an issue created by Quick Time Pro being moved to its new location in Snow Leopard.
Can anyone, who's recently upgraded, test Image Sequencing out and see it is still working in Snow Leopard?
Here's what I've been doing:
I have a folder of photos named sequentially:
photo1.JPG
photo2.JPG
photo3.JPG
photo4.JPG
photo5.JPG
I choose "Open Image Sequence"from the File menue
I choose the first file in the folder
A dialog comes up asking about the frame rate
The entire screen turns black
I choose "Present Movie" from the View menu
The controls show the movie is playing, but nothing but black shows on the screen.
My experience is that the feature 'open a sequence of images' does not work in 10.6.
I ran Software Update hoping to upgrade to 7.6.4 but was not prompted to install any updates.
Steps taken:
Clicked File, Open Image Sequence…, Select folder
The Open button is not available to click after this is done where it was in the past.
Selecting an image, within the selected folder, illuminates the Open button. It is not possible to select additional items by keyboard (shift, option, command) with they keyboard or mouse and mouse alone (click & drag).
Quicktime prompts as the OP notes but I see the image with the selected time delay where they did not.
This has been tested on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, both running 10.6.1.

Exporting Large videos as image sequences using Quick Time Convert
I am trying to export some fairly long videos as image sequences >10000 frames with Final Cut Pro using the quick time conversion tool.
I am working with SD and HD videos.
While some sequences export without error (both SD & HD) occasionally an "error" occurs which results in the 10000th frame (and in one case the 1000th frame) not being written. The File is opened as "MyVideoName#FFFFFFF.png" but no data is written to it. (Obviously it should be MyVideoName10000.png)
There is 500Gb of free space on the disk I am writing to.
At the moment I can't even work out why it fails in some instances - apart from the fact it seems to be related to the file name.
I would appreciate any help any one can offer!
Thanks,
John
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.8) FCP HD 4.5; QT 6.5Thanks for your reply!
So far I've not managed to come up with a workable solution.
Exporting as an image sequence is infact a work around... I originally was planning to export the videos as uncompressed .avi files but (as documented elsewhere) this does not work for videos >10Gb.
Some videos have exported fine both those longer and shorter than 10000 frames. However, for some videos only the first 9999 frames are exported. As a workaround I was planning to export the remainder of the videos seperately (as a subclip) but this only managed to export the first 999 frames (the 1000th file opened is called MyVideoName#FFFFFFFF, but no data is written to it).
At the moment I can't find any explanation for the cause of this problem. Are there any logs or any way to get more detailed error information?
Thanks again for your help,

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 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.

Advice please - what does Quick Time Pro do?
I'm thinking of buying Quick Time Pro for Windows.
I have video files in the following formats: .mov (from my iphone4), .AVI, .mp4 (AVI files converted via Handbrake for itunes), plus some older low quality files in .3GP and .MPG.
I want to the do the following:
1. Convert all the files to itunes so that I can view on my ipod and Apple TV.
2. I want to merge some of the files to make longer video clips
3. I want to add title menus for the clips and chapters within them.
Can I do these things with QuickTime Pro or not?
Many thanks1. Add the file to your iTunes Library and use its Advanced menu to make iPod and Apple TV versions. No need for the "Pro" upgrade of QuickTime Player in most cases.
Muxed file formats (MPEG 1 and 2) will play in QuickTime Player (extra $20 software required for MPEG-2) but audio can't be extracted or exported. Use MPEG Streamclip instead.
2. Joining files is copy/paste simple with the Pro upgrade. Save As will place all of the tracks into a .mov container but no export of the file is required. This makes it very fast and doesn't require re-compression of already compressed tracks.
You can adjust the dimensions after adding mismatched tracks in the Movie Properties window.
3. I don't know what you mean by "title menus". You can import image file formats and add them to any supported format.
QuickTime Player Pro can import "text" which can be added to a file as both text over video and chapter tracks.
QuickTime Player Pro is also an authoring application. Two of my pages as examples:

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 many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purchased it?
Last September I purched my update to Quick Time Pro. Now I bought a new Computer and re-formatted the old one, not being able to copy Quick Time Pro from the old to the new computer. Therefore I wanted to download again Quick Time Pro: In the settings window I introduced my program key and then "accepted". It said "Quick Time pro" below the registration line; however, the "apply" buttom was not operative. I checked and my Quick Time version was still "Quick Time 7", not Pro. My question is: how many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purched it? If I can download it more often than once, how do I proceed? Thank you for your help.
I started this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454706&tstart=0
but I'm afraid it's so involved that thus far, nobody has "touched" it.
However, PART of my problem is similar to THIS person's.
My problem is that I have QT on two different drives in one computer; the one I paid for [QT Pro?] and one I got for free; QT7. I fear the free QT7 might have "interfered" with my "Pro".
So, taking your advice above, looking in the "Help" "About" menu, I find that BOTH of mine another "offer" above the word "About"; they suggest that I "Purchase QT Pro"...... so now, if BOTH of my QT's say THAT, then may I conclude that I do NOT have the Pro version? I'm meaning to say that if I already HAVE the Pro, they wouldn't suggest that I go and "Buy QT Pro".... right? Is this a safe conclusion? for ya'll that HAVE the Pro, and KNOW it, does it suggest to you that you could go and "purchase QT Pro"?
Thanks,

How do I reinstall Quick Time Pro for the second time if I no longer have the original email even though I have the registration code??
My PC died and I want to reinstall on a new PC.Download and install the "free" version of QuickTime Player from Apple.
Under its Edit menu choose Preferences / Registration and enter your info. This "unlocks" the Pro features found in the free download. -
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. -
I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed. I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.
In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
Then you either:
1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
Please confirm which statment is actually correct. -

If I DO have the " PRO " version then how do I edit a .mov or any kind of video clip with it?
File -> New Movie Recording and the edit menu (and read the manual
Or read the online tutorials and stuff, for instance:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingmovies.html
It's all done from the QT Player application, utilising the underlying QT frameworks.
Don't expect Quicktime Pro to be Final Cut Pro - it's mainly a simple editing and conversion tool, as well as the regular player functions.
