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.

  • Trouble with short still image durations

    I know this is probably stupid and something simple I'm missing ...
    I have a series of digital stills that I can import to the timeline etc etc
    but
    I cannot find anyway to make the duration of each less than one second. Even if I enter less, it defaults back to one second. I need these to fire one after another really quickly.
    TIA

    The still image duration is set by whatever you entered in FCP's preferences. Change the preference setting to whatever duration you need, then import the images into your project and drop them on the Timeline.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left? 

  • QuickTime Pro - I am trying to find a way to retrieve my Quick Time Pro code and re-register it but, because I bought it more than 180 days ago, I cannot find the code anywhere, or any way to get an answer from Apple's website.

    I have been going round in circles, trying to resolve this
    I bought the MPEG2 component from the Apple UK store on 4th July 2010. I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    My operating system got corrupted and I had to do a clean install, then a return of the relevant files, folders and applications from my Time Machine. With that should have been my MPEG2 component for QuickTime Pro but it refuses to register.
    I need it to convert my videos taken on my older video camera, which is a Sony, using mpeg2. I cannot look at any of these videos any more, which is deeply irritating. Still lots of editing to do.
    I think it is a bit off if I have to buy it all over again
    Any ideas?
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Quick Time and Quick Time 7

    I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    The registration cade is contained in the email Apple sent you on purchasing.

  • 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,
    LarryR : )

  • Quick Time Pro will not launch

    10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
    I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
    What could be the issue? HELP.
    Bill N. in Sarasota, Florida

    That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
    First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
    Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
    We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
    (1) Quit Safari if you have it open
    (2) Go Start > Open.
    (3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    (4) Click the View tab.
    (5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
    (6) Click OK.
    Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    ... or:
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
    Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
    Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

  • I bought Quick Time Pro to help edit videos and now cannot SEE any video through my Quick Time Player

    I can hear the audio for each video BUT the window for SEEING the videos does not open- it remains "closed" on top of the start/stop/pause controller.  HOW can I fix this so I can also see the videos I want to edit?
    It worked fine the day I uploaded and began using Quick Time Pro, but has not since that day....

    If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

  • Quick Time Pro for Mac FAILURE

    The upgrade to Quick Time Pro was marketed by Apple as a "one click" answer and means to record movies. What a crock!!
    I'm trying to record a streaming video/sound presentation, like a class. Right click on its link gives a URL.
    So, one would think that entering the URL into QTPro would activate the video, but it doesn't. After reading this forum, I repaired permissions [whatever that means] using disk utilities, and it still fails. I've tried clicking on the QT controller just as soon as movie starts, and nothing.
    Now what?
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but don't know what.

    Well you have to have an account to view ( so I didn't view it) but there are a lot of ways to get flash, the easiest being to use Firefox and the free add-in DownloadHelper which will let you copy the flv file off the site to a file and then watch it in QT or MPEG Streamclip if you have the right codecs.
    Install Macromedia's most recent flash component for Firefox and also Perian.
    Free, free, and free. MPEG Streamclip will allow you to export the flv to Quicktime as well.
    You don't need QT Pro at all and had you searched you would have saved the dough, too.

  • HT3678 I purchased Quick time pro, went through the steps above. When I go to save the video save is grayed out and it says I need to purchase quicktime pro.

    Quicktime Pro will do full screen streaming videos that are compatible with Quicktime installed Codecs. If the video of the Olympics on the website has a specific URL to go straight to the video, then yes, you can call upon it with Quicktime Pro's player and then watch it fullscreen.
    If the video of the Olympics was embedded such a way that you can't find the direct link to the video, then the limitation is how the webpage is designed. Thanks to Flip4Mac, there is now also a Windows Media codec you can install for Quicktime as well:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
    Although some video software like Elgato's EyeTV don't work with it yet. If you are using Elgato's software, don't download it, and rather download Windows Media Player for Mac OS X:
    http://tinyurl.com/26pxg
    if the video is in Windows Media.
    If the video is in Realplayer, click on the Realplayer Free button on the upper right corner of:
    http://www.real.com/player/?src=realaudio
    You can enter a dummy address and password if you don't want Real's offers.
    If it is still a question of not being able to determine the true link to the video, try using different Mac web browsers to see what result you get:

  • Cannot unlock Quick Time to Quick Time Pro

    Hello,
    When I enter the key code in the settings to unlock the soft (Quick Time in the control panel), nothing seems to happen.
    And then, when I open Quick Time, seems that it is still Quick Time and not Quick Time Pro...
    Any help ?
    Thanks !

    When you entered the info in the Control Panel did the bottom of that window say "QuickTime 7 Pro"?
    Does the File menu now show without the word "Pro" in any items?
    If this is so then you've successfully entered the info and you have Pro. If not use copy paste from the email confirmation to the registration fields in the Control Panel and try again.

  • I cant find my Quick time pro anywhere!

    I upgraded to quick time pro in December, and now I cant seem to find it anywhere. How does that happen? I still have the email reciept, can I have them re send it to me?

    Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried using Spotlight to locate QuickTime?
    Did you have any problems w/your computer since the last time you used QT?
    Did you use any 3rd party maintenance utilites since the last time you used QT?
    Have you done any "housecleaning" since the last time you used QT?

  • 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 thanks

    1. 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:

  • Quick time pro keys

    If i purchase a quick time pro key for my windows laptop and the UPGRADE to an imac (as i intend to do ) will my key still work for the mac version (windows laptop will be formatted and given to my father)

    James, welcome to these discussions.
    The QuickTime Pro upgrade is platform specific. You'll need to purchase a new Pro registration for your new Mac.
    Tell your Dad it'll cost him $30 for your old Windows laptop. Give him the QT Pro for Windows.
