Making and Editing QuickTime Movies With QuickTime Pro

Importing and Exporting 3GPP Files

QuickTime Player can import and play back 3GPP files. To import a file, choose File >
Import.

If you have both the QuickTime 3GPP Component and QuickTime Pro, you can export
video, audio, and text to the 3GPP file format.

To export a file to the 3GPP format:

1

Open the movie you wish to export in QuickTime Player, then choose File > Export.

2

Choose “Movie to 3GPP” from the Export pop-up menu.

You can adjust compression and streaming settings by clicking the Options button.

Creating a Slideshow From Still Images

If you have QuickTime Pro, you can combine a series of still images to create a movie
that plays like a slideshow. This is an easy way to share the pictures from your digital
camera.

Note: Slideshows work 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 a number; for example, “picture1,”
“picture2.”

Most digital cameras number files automatically.

3

In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open Image Sequence, then select the first file.

4

Choose a frame rate from the Image Sequence Settings pop-up menu.

QuickTime Pro creates the movie, which shows each picture in sequence.

5

Choose File > Save to name and save the movie.

You can add music to your slideshow by adding an audio track to your movie before
saving it. Import an audio file, select the portion you want to add to the slideshow, and
choose Edit > Copy. Then select the slideshow and choose Edit > Select All, then
choose Edit > Add Scaled.
