Fabox@avd.nl queried:
>If so can I render this to .AVI or .MPEG as well?
Yes. As long as what you use to do it supports QuickTime.
breno@technet2000.com.au asks:
>How exactly do you do this ?
In Movie Player I start with a new movie (select New from the File menu)
and then open your shorter (2g or less) movies.
Go to the Edit menu and Select All (you see the content bar go black)
Edit: Copy.
Select the untitled movie (touch the title bar)
Edit: Paste.
Select the second movie (touch...)
Edit: Selct All.
Edit: Copy
Select the untitled movie...
* make sure the position indicator is at the very end of the movie.
* when you paste, it will paste precicely where the position indicator is
* no matter where it is in the movie.
Edit: Paste.
etc.
* process may be slightly different on windows machines. I wouldn't know.
Remember to save the movie with a different name than any of your source
movies. If you"Allow Dependencies" the "new" movie will only be a couple
hundred K. This means it is a Referencing Movie- it contains pointers to all
the other movies, but no movie data itself. (I call this a "Z" movie)
* Do _not_ trash the original movies now that you have a referencing
movie because this new movie _depends_ on all of the source files.
With this method, the file limit, and even a hard drive limit, are
meaningless.
If Mr. Quicktime can come in and correct my poor selection of terms
(position indicator, content bar) I'd appreciate it. I just made those names
up to tell the story.
