Setting a Movie’s Poster Frame

A poster frame is a still image of a movie that represents the movie in places like the
QuickTime Player Favorites window and the Finder. The default poster frame is the first
frame in the movie. With QuickTime Pro, you can change the poster frame.

To change a movie’s poster frame:

1

In QuickTime Player, drag the playhead (or use the arrow keys to move the playhead) to
the desired frame.

2

Choose View > Set Poster Frame.

To view a movie’s poster frame, choose View > “Go to Poster Frame.”

Saving a Movie with Specific Playback Settings

With QuickTime Pro, you can specify how a movie should open and play, what happens
when the movie finishes, and the method QuickTime uses to resize the video.

To specify playback options:

Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.

2

Select the movie name, and then click Presentation.

3

Select the desired options.

4

Save the movie.

Changing the Movie Controller Type

With QuickTime Pro, you can specify the kind of playback controls available on the
QuickTime Player window. For a QTVR movie, for example, you can save the movie with
one of the QTVR movie controllers.

To specify a movie controller type:

1

Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.

Select Movie and click Presentation.
