What types of video can I edit in QuickTime Pro?

I'm looking to simply cut sections of existing video and save them as a new file. I tried doing this with an .mpeg, but with no luck. Does QuickTime Pro only allow you to edit .mov files, or can you edit other formats as well?

lots of formats, you just have to get the codecs so it can play it.
.mov
.mp4
.flash
.dv
MOV is a container, not a format (codec). Inside a MOV container is the video file which could be in an unsupported format like DivX, in which case the required codec is needed. Some files that end in MP4 are not in a conforming MPEG-4 codec and they won't play either. You forgot to mention WMV which can be played for free with Flip4mac and exported for a small cost with an upgraded version of F4M.
Users should have ONLY - unless something very specific is supplied with an application - apple's codecs, Flip4mac to play Windows media files and Perian 1.1 to play back all the cruft from the interweb, in their Quicktime folder.

  • Can't edit in Quicktime Pro

    I just upgrated to Quicktime Pro, but the edit fuctions are unavailable. I have saved a movie clip imported from a Video Camera as a .mov file, and selected a portion, but copy / cut / paste etc. are still grey. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Open the file with QuickTime Player and look at the Movie Info window.
    I'll bet you'll see that the file is MPEG-1 format.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert it to QuickTime formats that you can edit. QuickTime Pro can't edit muxed track formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).

  • What type of expansions can be put in Mac Pro's

    I've owned MBP and iMac but now I own a Mac Pro and I want to know what kinds of things can the system be expanded with besides HD, extra super drives. I need some ideas here, this is actually my very first tower computer and this is all new to me. I'm using the computer for video and some music. I hear of people installing Blu Ray but I thought Macs do not support them, I've heard of this e-sata thing, and I've heard of people putting different graphic cards. Give me some insight if you guys and girls don't mind.

    You'd be surprised...! People come to Mac Pro not knowing how much RAM their apps will benefit from, or how to configure primary scatch, or never used any type of RAID and not sure what it means, and want to use mirror for their backup.
    Of course then we get to, "if you have to ask if you need Mac Pro or not, or could get by with a _____" the general snap is, "if you have to ask, then you don't need one" too.
    Or they get into these FW hubs and daisy chain and run into all sorts of problems as a result; or don't know that eSATA/USB/FW may not be native SATA.
    The first time I got into SCSI controller, and first time it was a real option, I had a headache for months going over Ultra2 vs Ultra160.

  • What type of videos can I play on my iPod Touch?

    I want to sync some videos from my windows vista laptop to my iPod Touch 4g, the videos I want to sync are .mov so I thought that sence .mov is from apple it would be possible but when I tried to sync the video by going to my iTunes on my pc and connecting my iPod, then clicking Photos and choosing the folder where the video was then clicking sync it said that it could not be synced. So please help did I try to sync the video the wrong way or does the video have to be a different format? And if so how do I convert the video with out changing the quality? Please help!

    QT uses for ever, and you loose the sound on most .mpg videos.
    Download iSquint, it can't be done any easier:

  • What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?

    I use to own a Mini DVC camcorder that I would edit video with in Final Cut Pro. Now since my Mini DVC camcorder broke I'm shopping for a new video camera but found myself really confused on what I need to buy for a good professional video camera at this point. It seems like DVC camcorders have been turned obsolete and now my options is a camcorder with a hard drive or a sd card in it, unless there are other options I'm not seeing at the local best buy.
    I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats, and I also don't know what compression scheme there using. With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
    With these new cameras I have no clue on what compression scheme they use and if there even a good option for good professional video editing. I'm not looking to spend to much money, I was hoping I could get something between $200 - $400 tops, but I wouldn't spend this type of money till someone gave me a little advice on what format is right to use with computer video editing these days.
    Any advice or recommendations would be very appreciated. If the price is right I would take standard definition (just for the fact that my Mac is a G4 and I don't really think it can do HD video that well), but if I could have an option to later shoot in HD that would be very helpful to.

    With a DVC all I had to do is shoot the video and then hook it up to my computer via firewire and capture it, this would allow me to compress the video while I was capturing it.
    DV video, recorded onto DVC (Digital Video Cassette) tapes, would NOT be compressed during capture. DV, DVCam and DVCPro (all varieties of the DV25 codec) is compressed 5:1 when recorded to tape. When you capture, all that happens is a straight digital transfer of 1s and 0s from the tape to your computer. No further compression was taking place.
    What type of video camera do people use to edit professionally these days?
    All types. Everything from Flip cameras to HDCam SR.
    I'm a little hesitant with the SD and hard drive cameras just for the fact that I would think they would be compression the video when saving it to these new formats
    You'd better get over that ... tape-based recording is going the way of the audio cassette.
    I also don't know what compression scheme there using
    Now you've hit upon what I consider to be the main problem with non-tape cameras; many manufacturers have taken to using codecs that were originally designed for final delivery, like H.264. So they need to be converted to an editable format PRIOR to editing. That's probably the reason that Apple developed the ProRes family of codecs. It's definitely a change in workflow. The other real issue I have with non-tape recording is the lack of a decent archive method. With tape you had a built-in archive medium; the tape itself. But with the new card-based recording, your archive options are limited and more expensive than tape.
    If the price is right
    And what price would that be? What's your budget?

  • What type of video card should I upgrade to?

    I want to upgrade to Bryce 6.0... it has new features I want, plus, it is designed to fully utilize the dual processors in my G5.
    But it requires a 128MB video card with OpenGL capability. My G5 came with (and still has) a 64MB GeForce FX 5200.
    1) So what type of video card should I get?
    And I'm also concerned about the heat (and, to a lesser degree, the noise from a fan)... I've been checking out the ATI website, and a lot of their video cards require a 300 watt power supply.
    2) Have any of you experienced problems with with heat from a video card? My loft is fine this time of year, but it gets a little warm in the summer months, even with the breezes off of Lake Michigan.
    Also, are there any other benefit to having a high-end video card?
    I am open to all suggestions, criticisms, tips, recommendations and ideas. I have no brand loyalty when it comes to video cards. Just don't try talking me out of upgrading to Bryce 6.0.
    Thanks!
    Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2GB RAM, Barracuda HD

    If you don't need anyting high-end, check into the ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM. ATI's 800XT is a very popular card for AGP-equipped PM G5s like yours, but more costly.

  • What type of files can we create in Java?

    In general what type of files can we create in Java?
    For example, we can create .dat and .txt files as follows:
    DataOutputStream ostream;
    ostream = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("myfile1.dat"));
    or
    ostream = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("myfile2.txt"));
    Can we create ASCII?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.

    In general what type of files can we create in Java?You know that a file is nothing more than a series of ones and zeros, with eight of those bundled together as something called a byte. What they actually mean is what you make them to mean. Short: you can write and read any file type you like, but doing that semantically correct it is your responsibility.
