The following sections describe how to resize or rotate a movie, set a movie’s poster frame, and more.

Adding Annotations to a Movie

With QuickTime Pro, you can add annotations to document information about the movie, such as its author, director, and copyright information. You can annotate the entire movie and any of its individual tracks.

To annotate a movie:

1In QuickTime Player, choose Window > Show Movie Properties.

2Select an item from the list and click Annotations.

3Choose an annotation to add from the Add Annotation pop-up menu.

4Enter the annotation in the Value column of the list.

Users who don’t have QuickTime Pro see only three of the annotations the movie contains. (Which three appear depends on which annotations the movie contains.)
