Force QuickTime streams to play in QuickTime
Authored by: osxpounder on Aug 09, '04 05:46:10PM

Excellent advice for content creators, there. I want to add two steps to your process of creating a reference movie:

1. Right before you save your reference movie, stop playback and use the Rewind button to send the playhead all the way to the beginning. If you don't, your reference movie will start playing from the location of the playhead at the time you saved. [Note that you can use this to your advantage if you *want* playback to start elsewhere].

2. Ensure that the QuickTime movie you're watching is at the appropriate size, on your screen, before saving your reference movie, too. If you open a QuickTime movie via URL, as described above, but then you drag the corner to resize it, then your reference movie will open to that same size. To resize it to its "normal" size, press CMD-1. [Likewise, you can use this to your advantage if you prefer your ref movie to play back at a different size].

Other things get saved with a ref movie: changes to Color, Brightness, Tint, and Contrast, [all of which I tested], and perhaps more, if there are any more settings or properties we haven't covered.
