Chapter 2 Getting Started with QuickTime Pro 27
Saving Movies from the Internet
With QuickTime Pro, you can save (download) a movie viewed in your web browser to
your hard disk. (The movie must be authored to allow for saving.) If it’s a streaming
movie, QuickTime Pro saves a small “reference movie” that points to the stream.
To save an Internet movie on your hard disk:
1 When the movie finishes loading (when the entire progress bar is filled with gray), click
the down arrow in the playback controls.
2 Choose “Save as QuickTime Movie.”
If this command is not available, the movie is authored so that it cannot be saved.
Creating a Slideshow or Animation from Still Images
With QuickTime Pro, you can combine a series of still images to create a movie that
plays like a slideshow. This process is an easy way to share the pictures from your
digital camera or mobile phone.
Note: Slideshows look best when all the images are the same size.
To create a slideshow from still images:
1 Put all the graphic files you want to include in a folder.
2 Name each file with the same name followed by an increasing number; for example,
“picture1,” “picture2.”
Most digital cameras number files automatically. The numbers must be increasing but
don’t have to be precisely sequential (for example, you could name the files “picture1,”
“picture5,” “picture10,” and so on).
3 In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open Image Sequence, and then select the first file.
4 Choose a frame rate (the number of frames displayed per second) from the Frame Rate
pop-up menu.
Slideshows usually work best when slides are shown at 2 to 3 seconds per frame.
QuickTime Pro creates the movie, which shows each picture in sequence.
5 Choose File > Save to name and save the movie.
