Quicktime Player X

23/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Since Lion (OSX 10.7), the Quicktime Player application has changed. Gone is the preference window - very strange, and it makes it difficult to set things such as telling it not to play two songs at once. All is not lost, however, as there are some enhancements. For starters, the trim function is present. This was only available on the Pro version of Quicktime 7 (which is worth keeping as not all files will play in the new version).
There are also extras: video files can be rotated or even flipped. This is really useful if any filming was inadvertently done 90º off normal. Then there is also Screen Recording which can include audio. This makes it easy to create a video of anything you want to show on screen - it doesn't have to be a big production: uses include making a simple 'how to' to send to a friend, or sending a video of when a problem occurs to your IT dept.
Incidentally, Quicktime Player is a misnomer; both versions can record video or audio.
