Exporting Files

4

with QuickTime Pro

If you want more control over how QuickTime creates a file, use the Export feature of QuickTime Pro.

With QuickTime Pro, you can export a movie to a number of different file formats, such as QuickTime movie (MOV), MPEG-4, 3GPP, 3GPP2, AVI, and DV. In addition, you can export an audio track to several different audio formats, export the individual frames of a movie as separate image files, or export a text track to a text file.

To see the list of file formats available for a movie open in QuickTime Player, choose File > Export and browse the list of file format choices in the Export pop-up menu.

About Video and Audio Compression

Because uncompressed video and audio require a lot of disk space to store and a lot of bandwidth (the rate at which data can be transferred) to deliver, you’ll want to compress (encode) your movie before sending it to another computer or on the web. Movies are usually compressed (encoded) as part of the export process.
