New v10 QuickTime player missing A/V controls
« on: December 09, 2013, 08:59:45 AM »
Im trying to slow down some guitar riff instructions, and our dog drinking videos using Quick Time.
Version 7 on my old 10.5.8 Mac has that option, but on the Maverick Mac, this is missing in QT version 10.
Wonder why?
Go to Window, show A/V controls, is missing in the new version. Not there any more.
Darn.
Wonder why Apple stripped out stuff that we liked.

QT 10 seems to be only a player. I found QT7 Pro still works on Mountain Lion, so would expect it to work on Mavericks. Maybe a Mavericks user could check that out?

I got some similar info, its way different. I got my movie into slow motion using the old version of iMovie, but the new version, all the controls for this are grayed out.
But I finally got my results with the old iMovie.

Gee, I am SO GLAD that I kept my old Mac!!!!  Seems there are a lot of things missing in Mavericks!

My version of QuickTime is called "QuickTime Player.app" That pretty strongly suggests that it is not an 'editor.' wink.gif Of course, Mavericks and QuickTime Player as well as iMovie are three separate things. QuickTime Player nor iMovie are not "Mavericks." They simply are newer(?) versions of the same apps that were in earlier versions of the OS, many of which will still work in Mavericks. I would hope that anyone upgrading any OS archive any of the apps that they like/used in the older OS before making the move. That's just normal procedure, IMHO. The old apps may not run in the new OS, but there may be changes in the new apps that you don't like or want or that change a workflow you are familiar with. But don't blame the OS for that, it's the changed apps that are the problem. wink.gif Sometimes the 'new' apps take advantage of new capabilities in the new OS, sometimes not, sometimes there are changes to your favorite apps, sometimes not. That's a lot of "sometimes!" That's why it's important to try out the new apps as soon as possible and why it's important to have the old versions archived. yes.gif I might add, it's also why it's important to check (all) the prefs in the new system and see what's available, changed, improved, etc. thumbup.gif

Occasionally, the Help pages also have useful information... but they are not always updated as soon as possible/needed. wallbash.gif

Frankly, I've never found iMovie easy to use! I can remember that, at times, it could not even open a ".mov" file. rolleyes.gif Or maybe it was a QuickTime file. Either way, it seemed incongruous and frustrating, at least to a noobie like me. blush-anim-cl.gif

Oh, I know that Mavericks is the new OS, I should call it 10.9. And I know that iMovie and QT player are separate things. Its just that Im confused as to why Apple takes out things that people use and like, and yes, there are some mighty nice new things in many of the apps. But why strip out the goodies?

Lots on the net about that.

So I certainly will keep this older 10.5.8 Mac, I had planned on giving it to someone in the family, but I changed my mind, wont give this one up till it drops from old age.

I got a really funny slowed down video of Lilly drinking.  Its not as good as some of the YouTube vids of dogs drinking, as they used a transparant bowl, and Lilly's is ceramic. But its really cute to see the way they(and cats) curve their tongues backwards and scoop the water up into their mouths. And to watch them shake when they come out from swimming is hilarious slowed down!

Im having trouble getting the weather maps to be in motion with my new v. of Safari and Chrome. All my plug ins are there, sometimes they play in the regular window, but not in full screen mode. Thats my next project to find, but at the moment, its grocery shopping to do.
