18Select the text track, then select “Preload this track” (to make the chapter track load first).

19Deselect the new text track so that it doesn’t display on top of the video. The new track will still function as a chapter track.

You can now choose a chapter title from the pop-up menu to the right of the timeline.

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:

1In QuickTime Player, drag the playhead (or use the arrow keys to move the playhead) to the desired frame.

2Choose 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:

1Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.

2Select the movie name, and then click Presentation.

3Select the desired options.

4Save 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:

1Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.

2Select Movie and click Presentation.

3Choose an option from the Movie Controller Type pop-up menu.

4Save the movie.
