New Quicktime Player

After upgrading to "Snow Leopard" on my Mac, Quicktime seems to play differently.
I don't seem to find a bar at the bottom that lets me scroll through a video... just play/stop... forward reverse.
Is this normal for the new Quicktime?

QuickTime Player X has a simplified feature set from the older QuickTime Player 7, though Apple added some editing and export capabilities previously only available with a QuickTime Pro key. You should still have the scrub control though, at least for normal .mov files. What format are the movies you're playing? Are you sure the scrub isn't there? It's a bit difficult to see; you may only see the "diamond" and not the bar background.
Note that if you want the former features, run QuickTime Player 7 which may be in your Utilities folder. If not, you can install it separately. Insert the Snow Leopard install disk, go to the Optional Installs folder and run the Optional Installs.mpkg. You'll be able to select to install QuickTime 7 (it actually installs only the Player) from there.
If you don't have your Snow Leopard install disk handy, you can download QuickTime Player 7 for Snow Leopard here:

Why can't I open mp4 movies in my new QuickTime Player. I just upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

Is QuickTime Pro being phased out and replaced by new quicktime player ?

Where are scrub bar edit points and what is happening to Pro version since the new Quicktim Player app?

Where are scrub bar edit points and what is happening to Pro version since the new Quicktim Player app?
I haven't seen all that many changes to QT 7 Pro since the introduction of Lion and the default turning off of legacy codecs. Since you use the term "scrub bar," I assume you are referring to the play progress bar and playhead control which can be used for scrubbing content, as well as, the setting of "in" and "out" editing points. As you can see by the image below, the bar and editing pointers are still available and functioning under Mavericks as they have been since the context adaptive change several years/systems ago.
In addition, for those who prefer it, the Jog Shuttle contol is still available in the QT 7 A/V control panel.
As to your original topic question, only Apple knows what its timetable may be for the final phasing out of the QT 7 Player/Pro Player software. And, while it is likely that it will eventually be replaced, I for one, can at least hope that this won't take place until such time as Apple has actually developed viable software with the same editing features and capabilities. However, at this time, QT 7 Pro remains compatible with Apple's choice of a long-term, highly scalable default system video compression format—MPEG-4 AVC. Since the handwriting was effectively "written on the wall" in 2005 when Apple chose to use this format on the iPod Classic 5th Gen mobile device, I began migrating to this format at that time. As a result, I have had little problem in terms of compatibility issues over the years. My only real regret is having to re-compress my files each time Apple increases maximum resolutions, efficiency, or adds options and, with the advent of 4K and Real 3D, expect this trend will continue in the future. But, at least for the present, my files remain dual compatible with both classic QT 7 and new QT X based apps, system features like QL, and all current mobile/remote viewing devices.

Assembling jpg files to make mov in New Quicktime Player

In previous versions of OS X QuickTIme Player (after paying for added features) I could assemble quick time movies from a folder containing sequential jpg files created by a FDTD simulation program to from a .mov file. It doesn't appear that this feature is in the new QT player (shiftappleO). Can this be done in the new QTPlayer ? If so how.
Thanks

Well trying to install QTPlayer 7 on OSX10.6.1 the installer balks at replacing QTPlayer X. I guess I could try trashing QTPlayer X first but this is annoying. Have to live with an obsolete QT I guess.
No tick in QTPlayer X to assemble jpgs into a .mov ?

New quicktime player: can I move the play buttons off the video?

Can I organize the Quicktime player like the old version? With the play buttons / time line on the bottom, outside and away from the video?
E.g., I do not want the play buttons / time line to "float" over the video window. It's distracting for times when I need to pause and scroll over video to find certain spots. It is really in the way.
Quicktime 10.1
Mac OS 10.7.3

Wow, that is unfortunate. It's really annoying to have that in the screen.
Do you know if Quicktime Pro has the same thing? If so I won't spend the money for it.
thanks

How do I record my iPhone screen using the new QuickTime Player and have the sound from my voice and the game?

So I have the updated software or whatever it's called on my MacBook Pro 10.10.2 and I don't know how to record the audio of my gameplay and my voice at the same time. For example: I want to play this game on my phone and the sound is important to have for the video and me to hear. I don't know how to have the gameplay sound for me and the video, and how to record the game sound and my voice? If this makes any sense please help me
tthank you in advance

Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

No Poster Frame Function in new Quicktime 10?

Just updated to snow leopard and trying to set poster frames in the new quicktime player. One use to be able to do this quite easily by moving the playhead to the frame you wanted and then selecting "set poster frame" in the pull down menus.
It seems as though they have dropped this feature...
Has anyone had any luck with resolving this?

Agree - that works using the older version; but this is a step back. Apple Quicktime "was" a great "timer" for resolving video motion in 30 frames/sec (.033 second resolution) rather than 1 second increments. Using for sports video instruction and Physics lab.....will need to "turn back the clock" and use the older version...which is fine.

Launch QuickTime player from hyperlink in Safari

Here's the software I have:
Mac OS X 10.4.3
Safari 2.0.2
QuickTime Player 7.0.3
When I click a hyperlink in Safari, for example:
<a href="movie.mov">Movie</a>
Safari immediately begins playing the Movie in the browser window as the Movie is being downloaded.
How do I configure either Safari or QuickTime to LAUNCH a new QuickTime player window instead of playing the movie in the Safari window?
Any help will greatly appreciated.

QuickTimeKirk, your advice is correct but I don't want to go threw all that action of control-click, copy URL, open QuickTime, then paste the URL into QuickTime. I know that works, but I want something simpler and faster (to automate that!)
I'm looking for a simple "single-click" solution to launching a QuickTime player from a hyperlink to a QuickTime media file!!!! I've posted this question to MacOSXhints.com and videolan.org with no solutions that I want.
I think I need to look into Safari and see how it handles events when you click on a hyperlink. All I really want is Safari to lauch a QuickTime player instead of playing the movie in the browser!
I appreciate all the comments from everyone! Thanks.

Quicktime Player woes

I'm not digging the new Quicktime player that comes with Snow Leopard. The controls cover the video. They remain there when I try to scrub to examine the video closely. And when I pause the video the controls remain on screen obscuring the video. What kind of nonsense is this? Is there a way to "skin" the player to behave like the old Quicktime player with the controls under the video? If not, is there a way for me to use the old player on Snow Leopard?

While I'm not positive, from your description it sounds like you are using the contextual menu with a right click, then selecting Open With from there. If that is the case, then what you are doing is telling the system "open this file this time with the application I select now." What you want is to set your own preference to open that sort of file, all the time. To do that select a .mov file, then either go to the File menu and select GetInfo, or hit Command-i, a new dialog window will open. Select the QT player you want from the Open with drop down menu in that window, then click the "Change all..." button.Thus there are three distinct ways to have a file open with something else:
1. Just this one time open this one file with another application, you get this behavior from the contextual menu Open With
2. Open this one file, and only this file, with another application always; you get this behavior using GetInfo and then selecting from Open With
3. Open all files always with another application; this you get with GetInfo as in #2, plus clicking the the "Change all" button
And for all our sakes, let Apple know how you feel about the new controller!
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
I too think it is unbelievably lame. From what I've seen quite a number of people do. If everyone tells Apple so perhaps we will get the option to drag the controller OUT of the movie.

Well,
I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

How do i change my quicktime player default back to quicktime 7 as my new quicktime won't play certain formats

Select one of those files, CMD+I, select QT 7 from the Open With list, and then click the Change All button. Repeat for any in the format class you want to change.

Quicktime player chrashing when i try to make new recording

Hi,
I installed Iweb 08 a couple of days ago (the only thing that have changed on my system) and now quicktime player crashes when i try to make a new recording (both video and audio).
Have tried to repair permissions and disk, reinstalled quicktime and trash the prefs but no go....
I noticed when installing Iweb that the ilife installer also installs new system components including quick time ( cant seem to find what is actually added or changed), so is there a way of uninstalling this??
I can live without Iweb for no but not with a dysfunctional quicktime player.....

I have this same issue, and have had it ever since I upgraded to QT pro. I haven't installed iLife '08 however, so there must be a common issue somewhere here. There isn't much more than novel use for this feature for me, however, since I use final cut studio for video editing and such - but it would be a nice feature to have for quick captures.
If anyone finds out anything about this please let me know,
[email protected]
Thanks,
-David

Tip: Quicktime Player capturing DV audio w/ video from firewire to New Movie

I am posting this as a new thread in hopes that it will help someone in the future, since it took me quite a bit of googling to find this info and it points to a very idiosynchratic and counter-intuitive behavior of Quicktime Player. This solution is from user jonmanheim - thank you!
Re: Trying to capture both video and audio to Quicktime Pro from DV camera
Just figured it out. A little wacky. You have to open a new Movie Recording window in QT AFTER playback starts on the camera or audio doesn't get recorded. If you first open a New Movie Recording window and THEN start playback, no audio from QT - either during playback on the speakers or during recording.

Don,
Put your 32khz clip in the timeline and select Export>Quicktime Movie Current Settings >Audio Only
Give it a useful name .e.g. Myclip audio.mov
Open up Quicktime Pro & import the file.
In QTP, Export>Sound to AIFF>Options>Compressor None>48khz/16bit/Stereo
Save the file
Once back in FCP - import the newly created AIFF file, Unlink the Audio from the Video of your clip, delete the audio from the timeline and put your new audio clip in the delete one's place and Relink the audio and video.
Good luck.

What's the skinny on the new "improved" Quicktime Player?

OK, I'm working on several edit systems (including my personal system in the home office) which have just been upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.5 in most cases).
Instead of good old Quicktime 7.x Pro, now I have something called "Quicktime Player X". Has NO pro features (specifically, Export), and a couple of dubious additions (thanks, I could already capture screens and record all the audio I wanted using other apps).
I use QT Pro to do quick exports and format conversions without tying up FCP or using Compressor (for instance, I STILL don't see a .wmv setting in Compressor...). I had the tech at one client re-install QT7 Pro because that's how I want to work...
Is it possible to make this QT-X "pro", so it does all the stuff QT7 did? Or failing that, what's the new procedure that the geniuses from Cuppertino want us to use now?

Is it possible to make this QT-X "pro", so it does all the stuff QT7 did?
No, not at this time. QT 7 represents a decade of "old technology" enhancements. QT X is a "new technology" re-write and is still in its infancy. (I.e., definitely "not ready for prime time" yet.) As such, it will likely continue to evolve over the next decade.
Or failing that, what's the new procedure that the geniuses from Cuppertino want us to use now?
Can't speak for Apple, but most of the regular QT 7 Pro users simply continue to use it. If your system was upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard by yourself and previously had QT 7 Pro installed, it should have been moved from the "Applications" folder to the "Utilities" folder automatically. If a new system and the QT 7 Player is not already installed in the Utilities folder ready for keying for Pro use, then you can install it from your included discs or download the Snow Leopard compatible version of the QT 7.6.6 Player from Apple's site HERE. Be advised that you must use a QT version modified for the dual 32-/64-bit mode environment and not the regular QT 7.6.6 version for Leopard.
