Quicktime Pro Video Tutorials

Not more than 1 or 2 months ago there were some video tutorials on developer.apple.com, teaching people how to create hinted movies, and basic editing with QT pro. In those videos appeared (apple employees) people that work on the QT platform. The videos were linked off apple's main website, but I can't remember where. I've searched all over the place, but with the new website layout things are not where they used to be.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks!

thanks for trying, but no. i know how to login to developers.apple.com; i have an account. what i'm looking for is video tutorials on how to use QT pro made by apple employees that work on the QT platform. i was able to find those on the main apple.com QT page!?, than i was directed to developers.apple.com to d/l those videos.

Quicktime Pro Video Recording Times Out

When I use the new Quicktime Pro video record feature, it times out after approx. 15 minutes.
Anyway to extend this?
Thanks!
Bill

I haven't seen a time out like that, but perhaps it's related to reaching a 2 GB file size. You might try later QuickTime, or different compression settings to keep the file smaller.

QuickTime Pro Video Conversion

I know i just posted about video capture, but i also have a question about how to convert video types to a different type. Please again let me know if i wasted my money.

QuickTime Pro does not export to MPEG-1. But it can view them.
I guess that you mean WMP (Windows Media Player) formats and the Windows version of QuickTime Player doesn't open those formats. The Mac version uses third party software (Flip4Mac) that allows some WMP formats be viewed inside QuickTime Player.
Why do you want to convert to MPEG-1? What is the goal of this conversion?
Toast from Roxio can create MPEG-1 files from numerous video formats.

QuickTime Pro Video Controls

I have upgraded to QuickTime Pro but the video controls in "A/V Controls" are not functioning. Solutions? Thanks.

Are you saying that even if I can display the A/V control panel, if the controls are not highlighted for me to adjust brightness, etc , its because of my graphics card?

QuickTime Pro Video Capture

I cant seem to figure out how to capture video from a USB capture card to QuickTime Pro. I know I installed it correctly, but no video that is supposed to pop up ever did when i finished appling QuikTime Pro settings. I can barily tell a diference, and i need to know how to capture video to QuickTime Pro. Please let me know if a wasted my money.

Even the Mac version of QuickTime Pro can't capture "on screen" events. We use third party software for those tasks just like Windows users.
QuickTime Pro "Record" (New Video Recording - Mac only or New Audio Recording - Mac or PC) works with the built in devices found on a Mac (iSight camera) or external devices meeting the requirements (usually Firewire connection).
I use SnapzProX on my Mac (about $70) to record on screen events. Similar products for Windows sell for as little as $20.

Quicktime Pro Video to iPod Problem-desperate

I know a lot of dicussions have touched on this, but no matter how much I look I cannot find an answer to my problem of the video from my digital camera via Qicktime Pro 7 not exporting to a movie format on my hard drive. I export it, a file appears on desktop and then I double click it to check it. Then Windows says that it needs me to choose a program. I choose Quicktime Pro 7. Then I get a message saying file isn't a movie. Please help a brother here. Thanks!!!

Stephen
Check the Properties of your converted movie in Quicktime Pro 7.
It should look something like this :
http://www.arc-facilities-edinburgh.co.uk/ipod/settings.jpg
This is from a converted movie which plays in iTunes and loads to the iPod fine.
Note you should have one video track encoded in H264 up to 768 kilobits per second and one audio track encoded in AAC up to 160 kilobits per second
Alternatively you can use mp4 (MPEG-4) for your pictures up to 2.5 megabits per second
Let us know if your movie properties are any different.

QuickTime Pro video from DVD

I have previously made home movies on DVD. (I used Click to DVD as the program to create them.) How can I convert them to QuickTime so that I can play them on an IPOD when I am away from home?
There really isn't anything in the manual that specifically addresses this situation. Any my computer knowledge is rather basic.
Thanks,
Louise

One way to do it is to use this freeware to make ipod videos. Use the mpeg-4 export. Only catch is that you will have to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent from Apple since DVD vobs are almost always made with mpeg-2 video. Mpeg StreamClip
Note that the freeware is available in both Mac and Windows XP versions.

Bought Quicktime pro, videos still wont go to ipod

am i doing something wrong here, is there a trick, i just played 30 bucks and i follow the instuctions for converting the files and the videos still wont go onto my ipod, help anyone please!

If you're using the export to iPod setting on QT Pro have a look at your completed movie properties and see if they look like this :
http://www.arc-facilities-edinburgh.co.uk/ipod/settings.jpg
(from a converted movie that looks good and loads onto iPod fine)
You should have one video track H264 format at less than 768 kbps
one audio track AAC encoded at less than 160 kbps.
Don't ask me why the video is 300 x 240 rather than 320 x 240!
If you're using MP4 instead post your settings, you may have something wrong.

QuickTime Pro Video fade-in fade-out How To?

Hello
I am a newcomer and I would like to know if it is possible to do between two video clips a fade-out and a fade-in? If not what could be a possible alternative solution?
Many many thanks for all your support.
Bernd

For each text box you need place it on it's own video track stacked above each other.You can then define the position, fades, and opacity for each individual title.
Cheers,
Neale

QuickTime Pro 7.0 takes forever to convert video from Windows Media to Ipod

Hi,
I just got a new IPOD Video 60GB and to tell you the truth, i'm not one bit impressed with this product; to give you my honest opinion, i'm disappointed in the purchase and would not recommend this to anyone unless someone can provide me with a solution to the problem.
Simply put, i'm trying to get some video clips on my new IPOD and i can't. I tunes won't let me for some reason, i do not know. I can get music fine, have not tried photos's as yet.
Anyway, the problem is, whenever I try to convert using Quick Time Pro 7.0 from WMV (Windows Media Format) to IPOD format (MPEG4), it takes extremly long. I mean seriously outragesly long. To give you an idea, I started a conversion of a 68MB file at 5:25PM, it is now 6:24PM and it's only completed about 45% of the file.
Is Apple insane??? who is going to wait 2-4 hrs to convert 1 simple video clip? I need to find an alternative solution otherwise i'm going to complain to Apple, and if i don't get my resolution to this problem fast, I will complain to the Better Business Bureau in Canada about this. This is such a scam. Why do i have to buy Quick Time Pro 7.0 just so i can upload video? I should be able to do this through windows directly.
Anyone that can help please let me know.
If i don't find something by the end of the year, you can be sure that Apple will be hearing from me in one form or another about this purchase. I spent over $600 on the company on a product that should be simpler to use than this.

QuickTime Pro does not play .wmv files. It doesn't export them without some other third party software.
Try reading the steps and supported file formats before your complain about what it does, or doesn't, do.

How can I convert video in a WMA format to play in QuickTime Pro?

I have installed my QuickTime Pro, but cannot play any of my videos that I already have stored on my computer. They are all in the WMA format. Is there anyway I can convert these files to play in Quicktime Pro? I also cannot figure out how to download a video from my digital video camera into QuickTime Pro. Can you help me with this? Additionally, I cannot figure out how to download from my digital camera into QuickTime Pro. All of these functions I would like to do, are so I can take these videos & pictures and download them to my IPOD. HELP - thanks Mike Mirsch

Hi again Mirsch,
I have Mac OS X and I have Quicktime 7.1 Pro.
I know that you can record a movie by making a new movie recording. Use the fire-wire connection to do this and have you camera in playback or deck mode. This is probably not the best way to import video to your pc. I say this because it might not be a lossless ingest of video (depending on your quicktime preferences>recording settings.
Try saving your dv video onto your pc using a program like premier (i use iMovie and Final Cut Express).
Good luck,
José Cuervo

Can anyone tell me if Quicktime Pro retains aspect ratio once a video is rotated?

I'm reluctant to purchase Quicktime Pro until I know the answer to this question and Apple Support doesn't seem to have anyway to ask, so I thought I'd try this group.
I took some videos with my iPhone (the long way), and need to be able to rotate them and convert them to avi files. I understand that Quicktime Pro can do the rotation and conversion, but I saw one review that said the aspect ratio is not retained, i.e. the video comes out flattend (wider).
Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro?? I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
Thanks in advance for any help shared!!!

This may or may not depend on your specific work flow. Many "settings' saved to the original file by QT 7 Pro are merely "playback instructions" which may or may not play correctly in other media players while these same settings do work properly when saved/converted to a new file container. In addition, not being a Windows user, I don't know if there are are any significant differences between the Mac and Windows versions of QT 7. In any case, I just took a short sample clip, stored it on my hard drive via Aperture 3, opened the file in QT 7 Pro, rotated the clip in QT 7 Pro, and used the "Save As..." command to store the modified file. This modified file now plays correctly in current versions of the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, and VLC media players. Have uploaded a copy of this file so you can download it, test playback in various players you normally use, and/or test convert it to your specific AVI audio and video compression formats.
SAMPLE ROTATED FILE
Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro?? I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
As indicated above, the file plays correctly for me in various media players and all media "Inspector" windows, including other third party media information utilities, confirm the correct dimensions and aspect ratio as displayed. As to AVI conversion, I test converted the uploaded file to AVI (DivX5/MP3) at original dimensions using VisualHub. (Also tried the VideoMonkey AVI encode but it limited the source 720p file to a 720x480 output and I did not know if you were agreeable to such a restriction.) Suggest you run similar tests with your preferred Windows converters to confirm/refute results on your system.

Quicktime Pro, Problem Converting Video to iPod

When I convert my movie files using Quicktime Pro I encounter a problem. After the converting is over the video works on my iPod, but the audio track is lost and there is no sound. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
-Jason

Check to make sure it is not a muxed mpeg by opening the source file in QT Player and looking at MovieInfo in the Windows menu. If it is a muxed mpeg you will have to use something other than QT since it will not export the sound from mpegs. Some people have had good results with this freeware, but there are other Windows programs starting to appear for iPod conversion:

Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

Quicktime Pro won't recognize my video camera.

The video camera is attached to the computer via Firewire. I checked and the computer recognizes that the camera is attached by Firewire.
I'm trying to transfer already-shot video from the video camera into Quictime Pro, but when I turn on the camera and play the video and click the NEW MOVIE RECORDING link in Quictime - I get a message "NO RECORDING DEVICE FOUND".
Does anyone know what I have to do to get Quicktime Pro to recognize the video camera?
Thanks

When I import the video into iMovie, iMovie squashes the widescreen video into a rectangle with the dimensions of a TV screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it back into a distortion-free widescreen image.
I would upgrade iMovie (from 3.03), but Apple doesn't seem to sell the upgrade anymore (not that will work in OS X 10.3.9.)
I have Quicktime Pro and iMovie and I can't get the video out of my camcorder and into my computer.
