Movie Editing with QuickTime Player 10?

I thought only QT 7 Pro can edit movies, but now I found the following in the QT 10 help:
*Movie editing shortcuts*
Command (⌘)-Z...................Undo
Shift-Command (⌘)-Z..........Redo
Command (⌘)-X...................Cut
Command (⌘)-C...................Copy
Command (⌘)-V...................Paste
Command-A.........................Select all
Shift-Command (⌘)-A..........Select all excluding silence
Command (⌘)-T...................Trim
Does this mean QT 10 can also be used for such simple editing?

I don't believe those commands are functional. The menu commands never come active in QT Player X for me, so I don't believe the shortcuts work either. I'm guessing that the Help file is an incorrectly-edited holdover from the earlier version of QT Player. But perhaps someone else here will know differently.
Regards.

Converting mov files with Quicktime Player for iDevices

I wasn't sure if should post this under iPad or here or at all as it is about coding, but it is about coding for Apple iDevices that can't display Flash, using Quicktime Player or QT Player 7 Pro:
I'm trying to add the ability for Apple iDevices that can't display tutorials I created in Flash, to see them with H.264. I read that I can simply open the original tutorial that luckily is a .mov file with Quicktime Player 10 in Snow Leopard and File > Save For Web and QT will convert to H.264 and also output several files needed to upload to your server.
But the only options are for iPhone, iPhone (cellular) and Computer. I assume an iPod would use the iPhone file, but iPad didn't exist yet.
I chose iPhone and Computer for my test. I got 2 .m4v files a .jpg, a small .mov and a .html page with the code I needed to copy/paste to my target html page.
Uploaded the files and could see the tutorial movie with my iPad fine. Using FireFox, I saw the beginning of the movie, then got the beachball. After a long wait, I tried a force quit and found that my Mac Pro was crashed too so had to hard shut down. Hate that.
Rebooted the computer. Tried accessing with Safari this time and it worked fine.
I also own Quicktime Player 7 Pro pre Snow Leopard (I'm running Snow Leopard now) and tried the conversion with it and noticed a few more config choices, like for frame rate. But the resulting code was about 29 lines of code with expected parameters versus 2 lines of code in the QT Player code which actually really surprised me. With both apps they have JavaScript references for the head tab to files on Apple's library on their site.
So.. I'm wondering why FF and my computer crash, I did output for computer as well as iPhone. And what to do for FF users and the fact that there's no specific output for iPad, am I OK just using the iPhone output since I can see the file OK on my iPad test.
Last, I've been reading about HTML5 versus Flash, but assume that what both my QT apps are outputting is HTML4. In the QT Player code there isn't even an embed tag, let alone the video tag I've read about, just a href to the exported Saved For Web .mov file, which I assume must point to the .m4v files that QT outputs and puts in the same folder as the other files, but there's no direct reference to them.
Sorry for the length, or if this isn't the place for these questions, but I do want to get this right before I convert about 20 tutorials
I wonder if I should wait until Lion and see if QT is changed to fix the FF crash and adds output for iPad?
One last thing: when you access the converted file with an iPad, first you see a jpg of the first frame with "Click to Play" in the center. When you do, you get the movie with a play triangle which you have to press to actually start the movie. But when you access the same html file with Safari, all you have to do is click the "Click to Play" and the movie starts as expected. Bug?

QuickTime X and QuickTime Player Pro create slightly different html code (but it all works about the same way). The "click to play" image file, a "reference" movie, multiple versions for different devices and the html code to preview the page and use as copy/paste into your Web page.
QuickTime X has fewer options than QuickTime Player Pro. The iPhone preset works just fine on the iPad.
Your Firefox crash may have been just coincidence and I doubt it was caused by the page code.
You may want to wait a while longer for the HTML 5 code because browser support is still in the learning stage and millions of PC users still use out of date browsers.
The reference movie points to the different versions of the file. The code "reads" the device and serves up the correct version for it.
I don't own an iPad but I suspect it works like my iPod Touch. All of my QuickTime files have the play "triangle" so the click to play image style page requires two clicks on it.

Help with .mov files that QuickTime Player says it can't read

Help. I have .mov files (on an external hard drive) I can see that they are there, but every time I try to open any of them with QuickTime Player I get the error message "could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
Help....suggestions...ideas????

Same boat, hope someone has some ideas on this.

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

Hi to everyone,
Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open. Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
"The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
I am the owner of the volume
I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.
Imac 27 inch late 2012.
Intel 3.4 GHz i7

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
thanx.

Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

No surround with quicktime player under Vista

This is very strange: ithune play 5.1 apple trailer perfectly in surround.
if I open the same MOV file in quicktime player, it is downmixed to stereo.
My install is clean, I have the latest version.
note: I set 5.1 speaker output settings in quicktime. So this is strange it does
not work.
note2: on XP, everything is working.
my hardware: toshiba laptop with 5.1 USB sound card.

Looks like I accidentally double posted, I've got almost the same exact problem.
"The control panel device manager driver page for the device can actually display a far more useful test. This test allows me to select S/PDIF, click the test button and .... it plays sound thru ALL FIVE sppeakers, one at a time."
I'm not sure which test area you using, but try right clicking the speaker on the task bar and go to "playback devices -> Realtek Digital Output properties -> Supported Formats", then try doing the dts and dolby digital tests (assuming your receiver supports them). Mine plays exactly how it should when I do that; unfortunately, that's the only time it does.
Check my post, see if any of it looks familiar:

This problem is making me pull my hair out...

Hi Tim ..
Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews

cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews
went into that page:
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-previews/imovie/Creating-App-Previews- with-iMovie.pdf
upgraded to quick time 7 pro
got stuck here:
" 4. In the window that appears, select your iOS device as the Camera and Microphone input source".
the window appeared, no selection is possible

The instructions in the Developer page you link contemplates that you are using the QTX version instead of QT7 Pro:
vs.
QT7 Pro does not allow selection of iOS devices as the Camera and Microphone  input source.
QTX is the QT version included with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and later. However, as explained in the Developer page you linked above, if your Mac is not already using it, you need to upgrade to the current (OS X 10.10 Yosemite) OS X Version to use iOS devices as the recording sources in QTX.

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

Using QuickTime Broadcaster with QuickTime Player

I have one computer streaming video/audio using QuickTime Broadcaster. How are you supposed to view the stream with QuickTime Player on another computer? None of the QuickTime docs says how you view a stream. I tried entering the IP address of my broadcast computer into the Open URL field, but nothing happens. I have the latest SW on everything.

Thanks. This helped, although it still didn't work. I found the solution in the help file although I still had to experiment. The description below is one way for it to work, although there are probably other ways.
To get it to work from one computer to another, you have to export from the QTB an sdp file. This file gets stored on the viewing computer. On the QTB computer, on the Network tab, the IP address needs to be the viewing computer's IP. Once broadcasting, the QT Player on the viewing computer opens the sdp file. It should then work. If anything on QTB get changed (MPEG-4, etc), you need to export another sdp file.

Can't view .mov file with quicktime

Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.

Bought MacBook Pro a year ago and it came with Quicktime Player. Bought Quicktime Player Pro, how do I download it??

Bought macBook Pro a year ago and it came with Quicktime Player. Just bought Quicktime Pro and am having trouble downloading it. Do I need it? How do I download it?

You don't download QuickTime Pro directly; you download QuickTime 7 and apply the code you bought to it.

Can't open Apple HD Movie trailers with Quicktime download link

Hi all,
For some reason, I can't seem to get Safari to automatically open Quicktime Player X to open an Apple HD trailer on trailers.apple.com. I can only view trailers when clicking on "Watch Now". I can also workaround this issue by righ clicking on the HD trailer links and then selecting "Open with Quicktime Player" which then allows me to view the HD trailer in QT player X. But I'd like to have that process automatic, like it used to.
Is there a quick fix for this?

After hours with try and error no solutions.
I changed now from windows with iTunes over to my Mac and surprise: It works. All videos are now playable (the same which wasn't before)
=> Windows Vista, 64Bit, Itunes 10.5.3.3 did not work
=> Same mp4 over Mac to Ipad did work.
No idea, what's going on, or is wrong on the PC.
Thanks,
i-v

Can I cut & past MOV videos with QuickTime Pro ?

I have a couple of DigiCam Quicktime MOV videos which I want to cut & paste.
Is this possible with a QuickTime Pro installation (under WinXP) ?
Is there any other alternative software which let me do such simple tasks with Quicktime MOV videos?
Peter

Yes.
QuickTime Player Pro allows editing of nearly any format it can "play". MPEG-1 can be viewed but not edited.
