Using Quicktime for subtitltes in iMovie movie

I made a movie in iMovie and want to put subtitles it in. I bought QuickTime7 Pro as was recommended and installed it on my hardrive. Created a .txt file in Word and opened it with QuickTime. Now, how do I get it into my iMovie movie?

There is an easier way to create subtitles for movies. Try using MovCaptioner. It keeps repeating a few seconds of the movie so you can get what they're saying, while you type it, and when you hit the return key it goes on to the next few seconds. When you're all done setting subtitles, just click a button and it adds the subtitles to the movie for you. It will also create a transcript of all the subtitles as well.

    HI GalaxieMusique,
    I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
    I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
    Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
    I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
    In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
    http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
    and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
    Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
    If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

  • Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video?

    Baffled in SB

    What format of MPG is this?  Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video?  How was the video created?

    which mac mini should i go for: the one with AMD graphic card or Intel. I meanly going to use this for hometheater and HD movies.

    Intel HD 3000 graphics card can easily handle HD movies up to 1080p. But if you are looking at higher resolutions possibly 4k or 8k that are being released this summer in new TV's, I would go with the AMD card. The AMD card would be good for video and picture applications and also games. But if this is strictly to power your 1080p home theater setup then the choice is obviously the Intel HD 3000.

  • Using Quicktime for all Video Types

    I'm trying to use Quicktime for some WMV files, and I downloaded the "flip4mac" program, but it still isn't working. I can open the video and play it on Quicktime, but I can't skip around or anything. Is there something else I need?

    If you happen to own a copy of Microsoft Office it contains Windows Media Player for Mac. It is only selected when doing the custom installation. It does not install during the standard install. Even when you select it, you will have to run the installer to get it to run. Once it is set up it works fine.
    I have also used Flip 4 Mac with no issues and recently started using VLC, which is also needed if you use Handbrake to rip DVD's.

  • Want to use Quicktime for Internet Playback but i cant

    Hi
    I want to use Quicktime in Firefox or Camino for Internet Playback of MP3 files but i cant change it!
    Dont know whats wrong here. Everytime i want to listen to an MP3 Track RealPlayer comes in and does the job...
    All the searching through the net didnt help much. :'(
    Maybe someone knows how i can fix this.
    Thanks in advance!
    Zettt
    [EDIT:]
    The site which causes the trouble is www.myownmusic.de

    That Site has coded the html to call the Real Player plug-in. You could look at the source code, find the .mp3 file (and its complete URL) and open that URL in the QuickTime Player.
    May not be worth the effort. I am able to view the entire .mp3 URL in Safari's Activity window and use copy/paste to the QT Player's "Open URL" dialog.

  • Use 'iControl for GarageBand' with iMovie

    M-Audio's iControl is intended only for use with GarageBand: but it is possible to make it work with other programs to an extent. Here is a way of using the transport buttons and jog wheel with iMovie. (Tested with iMovie 4 but I assume it should work the same with later versions).
    Download MIDIstroke from
    http://www.charlie-roberts.com/midiStroke/
    (it's free).
    On the left in the three columns num/chn/value enter the values separated by / below, then map each set on the right side by entering the text as shown and ticking the 'shift' box where indicated
    24/1/1 - RIGHT
    24/1/127 - LEFT
    109/1/127 - SPACE
    110/1/127 - RIGHT [SHIFT]
    108/1/127 - LEFT [SHIFT]
    106/1/127 - SPACE
    107/1/127 - HOME
    111/1/127 - END
    Connect the iControl, run MIDIstroke and iMovie.
    Now the jog wheel will jog the movie backwards or forwards a frame at a time: however if you move it too fast it will fail to respond at all.
    The transport buttons are mapped as follows:
    Record and play will both toggle start and stop as appropriate in the program.
    Fast forward and back will make a single jump of ten seconds for each press (there is no repeat when held down).
    Go to beginning does just that, and the cycle button goes to the end.
    It's not ideal but if you already have an iControl and you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel (and a driver for mapping to keystrokes), or something with a jog wheel, this might make editing a bit easier.
    You could use MIDI Monitor (also free) from
    http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
    to tell you what commands are being sent by the various iControl buttons and knobs and then use those to map any way you want in any program -the only caveat is that you can't have different commands in different programs: and obviously there has to be a keystroke to do whatever it is you want.

  • Problem using QuickTime for iPhone

    Hi Everybody,
    I am a developer and i program an application for the iPhone. I want to know if it is possible to block the controller in the Quicktime player for iPhone ?
    I use the embed code with the "<param name='controller' value='false'>" but the controller is always here.
    I want to stream a video, where the user can't paused the video.
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks a lot

    I had this same problem and solved it when I realized that the software upgrade download was about 600MB, but I had less free space available on the iPhone.
    So I deleted some large music files to make space available, then started the upgrade again and it worked fine.
    One caveat: since I had "Automatically fill free space with songs" checked in iTunes, under the iPhone "Music" tab, simply deleting songs from the iPhone's playlist did not clear up the space.  Other songs got loaded to fill up the space.  I had to uncheck "Automatically fill free space with songs" as well as delete songs in order to free up the space.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems Using QuickTime Pro on Windows to Compress Movies for E-mailing

    I have a windows system but just installed QuickTime Pro because I understood it would allow compression of movies (home movie segments of no more than 5 minutes) to facilitate e-mailing them. QuickTime instructions describing easy use of a "Share" feature seem geared to the MAC operating system--I have no such option. I've tried opening my movie using Quicktime, going to File, exporting (Movie to Quicktime Movie) with default settings (H.264 compression, quality high, key frame rate 24, etc., audio at format integer, sample rate 11.024 khz, etc.) and prepare for internet streaming (fast start). The movie goes into my Quick Time movie files without much compression--going from an AVI file of 60.4 MB to a quicktime movie of 40.8 MB. This is much larger than the quicktime movies emailed to me of longer duration which were only a few MB. Any help for a novice who at this point only wants to compress and email movies? Thanks.

    That sounds like the sound is being exported in
    uncompressed format. Suggest you open one of these
    filesw and use MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see
    what format is being used for the sound. If it is
    listed as uncompressed or raw or PCM, you may want to
    try using mpeg-4 sound (aac or advance audio
    compression).
    Thanks much. I tried saving the file using the AAC option (rather than Linear PCM) and that got it down only slightly (from 40.8 to 40.5 MB). I'll just keep experimenting.

  • Movie to FLC under Share - Export using QuickTime...

    Hello, can you tell me if exporting using QuickTime means export the iMovie project with QuickTime codecs ?
    if so , is there reference of these codecs ?
    And if Movie to FLC means export the movie to be able to edited in Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks in advance !

    iDVD doesn't care about the file size. Under two hours will fit.
    iDVD can't make High Definition DVD, however.

  • Quicktime for 64 bit Windows (XP 64)

    Hello,
    I'm working with XP 64 and would like to buy/use Quicktime, because I create QTVR movies from 3D scenes. At the moment I use DevalVR as viewer, but it would be nice to get a working QuickTime from Apple. Will come and if yes, when? Or can I do anything other, so that Quicktime work at XP 64?
    Best regards,

    Sorry, but Apple has said nothing about if or when a 64-bit compatible version of QuickTime for Windows will appear. The current version works to a certain extent, but has issues, QTVR from other reports being one of them, and I have yet to see any definite workaround.

  • I just installed the latest iMovie 10.0.2.  Please don't say "look at the help menu" - it doesn't help.  This is radically different than the version I'd been using.  For starters it automatically converts to mp4 rather than .mov - that's my 1st question

    Sorry for the long headline - I'm new to the support community and thought that was the post!  I've been happily using my old version of iMovie - I don't even know the number - I guess it was 11?  I just installed the most recent 10.0.2 and it is radically different from what I've been using.  For starters, whereas my uploaded video used to be in the lower section, and I would edit up above, now it's reversed.  Whereas I used to click on the transitions and drag a blur or whatever to my movie right while I was editing, now it's on a different screen.  And the easy old Export file button is gone, where you could choose setting, file size, export as Quicktime movie - all gone - now it converts to mp4 and I STILL can't figure out how to get it back to .mov
    Please don't say "read the Help manual" - I tried - there's nothing there about any of this.  And by the way, I'm not a techie - I taught myself what I needed to know about the old iMovie and am now lost so please no snarks.  I would appreciate any help.

    Select in browser your movie, click Export on toolbar, choose iTunes, QT etc. then choose size of your file in opening window. And then click Export in this window.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export? 

  • Make a Reference Quicktime Movie using QuickTime API for windows?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know how to generate or modify a QuickTime Reference file?
    I try to generate a QuickTime reference file (.mov) that will point to external video clip Avid OpAtom such as
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\V1.mxf,
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A1.mxf,
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A2.mxf.
    I can use Avid News Cutter (NLE) to export a Quicktime reference mov file that point to external OpAtom mxf files.
    My questions are:
    1. How can I use QuickTime API to generate the same QT reference?
    2. Can we use QuickTime API to parse or modify the Avid Generated QT reference file?
    If I want to change the referenced external video source location info can we use QT API to do that?
    3. I have tried John Cromie's "QuickTime for .Net and Com Developers" using AxQTControl1.URL to parse a QT reference file, however, I can't find out where the external source clip location info in this object!!
    4. I have tried Legacywindowsqttools Dunpster but still can't parse the location info.
    Does anyone know where the external source clip location info hide in QT API object?

    Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.
