Using QuickTime 7 Pro for the first time with Windows. What can it do?

Greetings,
After spending almost two hours with Apple reps, I finally figured out where the controls are for QuickTime Pro. I have started to use Miraizon's Cinematize Pro 2 to extract clips as mpeg-4 files (a lot smaller than a QT movie, though maybe it can be made smaller if I compressed it, though I don't know how). Now I wish I knew exactly what I am able to do with my mpeg-4 clip once I've extracted it.
So the question is, having a PC, Windows XP and QT 7 Pro, exactly what features does it have for editing? I opened a mpeg-4 with QT Player and of course have the following to choose from under the "edit" function: cut, copy, delete, select all,select none, trim to selection, add to movie, add to selection and scale, find and preferences. So please tell me at least what I can do with this program and at least how to begin.
By the way, I have a website and use Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have a combination of video types previously made and sent to me by others; some are .wmv, some are .mov. Now as I use Cinematize 2 Pro, I am creating mpeg-4s. This choice is made because I'd like to keep the file as small as possible without losing quality per se and also I want to reduce to a minimum the problems anyone visiting my site who wants to see the clip might have. Also you should know I insert the movie files onto my websie as plug-ins/MIME files.
I'm new to the list and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks!

QuickTime Pro is a rather simple editing application and once you learn how to make a "selection" (letter i and o keys) and then fine tune it (Shift and right left arrow keys) you're on your way.
You can also "scrub" through large files by using the J, K and L keys or copy/paste selections into new Player windows.
Dozens of image, video and audio formats can be opened by QuickTime Pro and then "Exported" (converted) to other file formats. It can even open plain text files to use as "titles", narration text for the hearing impaired.
The Windows version can also make "One Click" audio recordings (Mac version can make video and audio files). A simple way to add a narration track to your video. Since QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 tracks and support about 27 languages you can make one file for many nations.
QuickTime Pro is also a very powerful authoring tool.
QuickTime Pro can even create files that view without a "box":

Some of my QuickTime files and Web pages as examples:

http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/RedneckTexasXmas/index.html
It can also be used to make "presentation" files:

What can it do? It's all up to your imagination.

    I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

    Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
    Take it back and get your money returned. You
    are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
    the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can

  • When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
    Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

    I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro..... please try to make it easier for me since im new to the Mac OS

    1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
    2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
    3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

    Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
    The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

  • Buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion

    Hello everyone! I'm buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion. I'm a Web Developer / Graphic Designer, and i need this macbook for my work. Currently i have these 2 options:
    1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")
    128GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 Processor, 8GB Ram
    2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
    Intel  i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
    So my dilema is. Do i go for the newest 13" Macbook Pro Retina & SSD drive or do i go for the 15" Macbook Pro i7 non-Retina, non-SSD hard drive?
    Help this first time Macbook buyer (me) to decide which model to choose

    Your 2nd choice
    2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
    Intel  i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
    is user upgradable. The Retina is not. 
    No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

  • I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

    I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

    If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

    split the region at the 28th measure

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    then select only the first region and option-drag it to the end of the song

  • HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

  • IPhoto nightmare. Tried to import photos using Nikon software for the first time and all my photos disappeared from iPhoto 8.1.2 (and everything from itunes too). Newly reinstalled iPhoto crashes as soon as I import anything now.

    Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

    not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

  • Signing up for the first time with no success..

    I was reluctant to get Ipad and mac services but this is making me frustrated. Using a New Ipad, I signed up for a new Id.. using my email and a password that I know very well. I go to sign in for the first time and I get Id has not been used before please select review and..... well I hit review and nothing happens.. I try to go direct to apple id services and it says either my email or my password is incorrect. I've already requested to new passwords used them and requested a verification email which I get and go to verify and it is not working.. VERY FRUSTRATING...
    Please help..

    Hi..
    Sorry you are having problems right off the bat ..
    Even though you just created a new Apple ID, try the suggestions here >  Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store
    If that doesn't help, contact Apple directly >  Contacting Apple for support and service

    Welcome to CS3.
    Before you post any further questions, please take a look at the video tutorials in Adobe's video workshop. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to save you from having to ask many basic questions that can be answered by watching the video tutorials.
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
    It is a great resource and can get you up and running. Just select Premiere Pro CS3 from the products window, then select the topic "Getting Started" and finally the title. Start by selecting "setting up a project" under the titles window.
    Its like having your own in-house instructor.
    However, as Jeff said, the trial version will not have certain features enabled.
    Good luck.
