  QT Player in Catalina

  Posted by Oliver Peters on June 22, 2019 at 11:31 pm

  Evidently QT Player is getting some pro features in Catalina.

  https://www.apple.com/macos/catalina-preview/features/

  From this page:

  Picture in Picture (PiP)
  With a single click in the navigation controller, you can play video in a resizable window that isn’t blocked by other windows, allowing you to watch while working on other things.

  Enhanced Movie Inspector
  The Movie Inspector pane shows you even more in-depth technical information about the currently open media file. See key details such as video color space, HDR format, bit depth, scale, and aspect ratio.

  Open Image Sequence
  Create an H.264, HEVC, or ProRes-encoded movie file by navigating to a folder of sequentially numbered images, then choosing your desired resolution, frame rate, and encoding quality.

  Timecode support
  When QuickTime Player opens a media file with embedded timecode, it shows the time information in the onscreen navigation controller.

  Transparent video support
  Transparency in ProRes 4444 files can optionally be preserved when exporting to the HEVC format.

  Finally! I will be very glad to have this option back!

  Wow, I like all of that. QT seems to be alive and well…at least the Player!
