Tips:
AddMovie works with all file formats supported by QuickTime. Some file
formats are not currently supported by default, and in this case you
may need to find and install the necessary QuickTime components:
*Flash
Video (.flv): To combine movies in this format you can use QuickTime
components developed by Perian: Perian QuickTime Components.
*Windows
Media Video (.wmv): To combine movies in this format you can try
installing the Windows Media® Components for QuickTime, by Flip4Mac.
Note
that AddMovie outputs QuickTime (mov) file format, as well as exporting
to other file formats. Use the Preferences window to specify output
options. Appropriate file extensions are added automatically.
AddMovie
Preferences: Various options available in the Preferences window, such
as: choosing export format, making a "self contained" (copy video and
sound from all source movies) or "reference" movie (yielding a smaller
movie file with dependencies), chapterizing, and automatic software
update checks.

To edit preference settings for AddMovie select "Preferences..." from the "AddMovie" menu, or click the "Options..." button.
*Open
file automatically after it is generated. After the movie is generated
it can be opened automatically in your default movie player.
*Display
full file pathnames in the list display. You have the option of showing
either the full pathname to the files in the file list table, or only
the names of the files.
*Auto-start playing selected movies.
AddMovie has a drawer window which contains a QuickTime movie player.
Open the drawer by clicking on the disclosure arrow at the top right of
the window. If this option is selected a movie will begin playing as
soon as it is selected in the list.
*Remember file list. If this
option is selected then list of files will be remembered when the
program is quit and restored when you re-launch the program at a later
time.
*Scale duration. After the movie is generated its duration can
be scaled. This is useful when generating a movie from a sequence of
images. Enter the scale factor, then press the tab key to record it.
Scale factors are numbers greater than one. The larger the factor, the
longer the movie and duration of each image in the movie.
*Export format. The generated movie can be exported in one of the formats listed in the
popupmenu. The list of formats is derived from the QuickTime components
installed on your system. Once a format is selected click the
"Settings..." button to specify various options that apply to the
selected exporter.
*Make self contained (flatten movie). Select this
option and AddMovie creates a movie file which contains a copy of the
data in each of the movies. Otherwise it only contains references to
the files that were concatenated (resulting in much smaller movie
files.)
*Chapterize. Select this option to have AddMovie create movie chapters. Chapters enable you to
navigate to the various parts of the movies using a popup menu in the QuickTime movie player.
*Software Update. Select this option and AddMovie will check for updates every time it is launched.
*URL
Download Directory.This is the directory downloaded URLs will be saved
to when you drag them into the file list window from your browser. Use
the "Select" button to choose a folder.
Using AddMovie: Using AddMovie is easy! Follow these steps...
*Add
files. First, drag files or folders from the Finder into the "File
List" window's list box, or use the "Browse..." button to navigate the
file system for your selections, as shown:
(Click to make bigger)
You can also add items by dragging URLs from your
web browserinto the file list. AddMovie will download the URL, and if it is a
valid file, such as a movie or picture, AddMovie will add it to the
file list window. Use the preferences window to specify the directory
where downloaded files will be saved. You can also specify if files by
the same name will be overwritten. The default download directory is
your Internet download directory.
*AddMovie reads all files that are
supported by the QuickTime components installed in your system, or
those that you obtained from third party developers. (These are usually
installed at "Computer/Library/QuickTime" or "Home//Library/QuickTime")
Default
components support types like ordinary QuickTime movies (.mov),
graphics (.jpg, .tiff), PDF files (.pdf) and rich text (.rtf).
A
typical third party component is Windows Media® Components for
QuickTime, by Flip4Mac™, which will enable you to concatenate WMV files
into QuickTime formatted movies. Another is the Perian component for
converting Flash files, a popular video format on the Internet.
Because
AddMovie relies on QuickTime components to do its job it is imperative
that you always have the latest components installed for your system
version.
*Reorder. Once you added your files to the file list you
can re-arrange them to determine the position they will appear in the
movie. You re-arrange files in the list by dragging them to their
desired location. Files are added to the movie from top to bottom in
the file list.
*Add chapter titles. If you are concatenating the
movies, and your output format is selected as QuickTime "mov" files,
then you have the option of chapterizing the movie. Click the "Options"
button to open the Preferences window. Then click the "Chapterize"
button. You can let AddMovie choose default chapter titles, or you can
edit the chapter titles that appear in the File list window. To edit a
chapter title double click on a title to begin an edit.
*Concatenate
the files. Finally, to generate the concatenated movie click the
"AddMovies" button. A dialog box will display asking for a name and
location for the movie. The appropriate extension for the file will be
appended for you.
*Export the files .Alternatively you can click the
"Export Movies" button and each movie will be exported to the format
you select in the Preferences window.
Auxiliary Features: The
movie viewer window contains four buttons named "Split...", "Set
Poster", "Save Frame" and "Save Sound..." :
(Click to make bigger)
*Splitting
a movie. You can split a movie at any point, saving the two resultant
movie "halves" into separate movie files. Drag the playhead to the
desired split location and click the "Split Movie..." button. You will
then be prompted for the name and location of the two movie parts. Note
that this operation can take a long time for very large movies. This
feature is useful for fitting large movies on multiple DVDs.
*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. Drag the playhead to the desired frame and then click the
"Set Poster" button.
* Saving a frame to an image file. Move the
playhead to the frame you want to save as an image, then click the
"Save Frame..." button. You will then be prompted for the name and
location of the image file.
* Extract sound track into an AIFF file.
You can extract a movies soundtrack into an AIFF file by clicking the
button named "Save Sound..." You will be prompted for a location to
save the file.
System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
