[Bret Williams] ” Yes very familiar. Here’s a new one though. I’m able to trim an h264 clip in Quicktime Player (everybody knows you can trim and edit in QT Player, right? ) and paste it to a new player and it seems I now have a standalone trimmed h264 clip. No transcoding seems to have occurred.”
Yes. QT 7 Pro. The discontinued QT player. And only the PRO version, that was unlocked with FCP Legacy….or if you purchased the PRO option for $30. Which you can no longer do, as it’s old, discontinued. QTX cannot do this. So here is a GREAT example of an amazing tool that Apple made that was fully feature rich and could do so much (I still use it to delete or deactivate audio tracks, or add audio tracks)…that Apple dumped. And the new player doesn’t do this, because Apple is ditching QT and moving to AV Foundation.

But of course you can. QT player X is a much better editor. You can trim, split, copy, paste, and basically do rough editing in QT Player.

But you can’t use QT player to qc any video since the color problem with QT goes on and on and on.

I’m not sure where this topic came from but I whole heartedly agree. In my book you can’t color check anything except on proper video out to a qualified calibrated video monitor.

Ah, I guess I need to look this up then. Because the basics like MARK IN and OUT and extract and all the stuff I’m used to in QT 7 aren’t in QTX. I see SPLIT CLIP, but still no ways to mark in and out. Might take some learning.

When you’re in split clip mode, you can click on the playhead and drag it around. Split clips, and copy, paste, move clips between open QT players with copy paste. In trim clip mode you get the range tool. Not sure if it utilizes I and O. Like QT Pro you COULD do some editing, but it’s certainly not something you’d want to do. Since it doesn’t reference clips, there isn’t much merit to someone that has an NLE handy.

Command-e is your friend in QTX.

Yes. Remember all those compression options you had on export? The different size options.
Heck you could even put filters in and sharpen the image. I still have it in the doc..

And reconnect it the audio file? It’s been years since I’ve attempted. I just don’t remember having any luck with it.

The audio files and video files, while separate files on the finder level, KNOW they are connected. So when you bring them into an Avid system, one way is by making a bin and dragging the .MDB file from the media folder into it…it’ll populate with all the footage in that folder, and audio and video will be linked…due to metadata.
