I’m on a PC, thus no iMovie I did buy Quicktime Pro b/c I thought it would be easier than what I was fighting with before (Adobe FLA converter or Windows movie). And it is , except for this little piece…… My camera takes .mov files & I don’t want to have to be converting tons of times.

The documentation for Quicktime Pro gives an answer (somewhat) but I can’t figure it out.

Thanks again for your help!

Paula–I use “Titles” in iMovie and they are even better…I know you said you are using QuickTime Pro but iMovie makes it pretty easy and you can time how long you want the text to show there.

Hi Christine — the annotations worked (for now). Not exactly what I was looking for but definitely a short path to getting my URL and a call to action on the existing video. I know there has to be a way to get my final frame to stay on… but alas – this works for now (beats staying stuck in a technical glitch right?)

Appreciate you directing me here so I could move forward.

@Paula–I’ve used iMovie to do it but not QuickTime Pro. Have you looked at doing it through YouTube’s Annotations feature? Here’s a tutorial: : http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=92710

Hi Christine, I finally got my video up & running. I was wondering if you had any resources that address how to do what you say here:

“4. Direct viewers to your site. Don’t forget to mention your website in the actual video at the beginning and end or add text displaying the URL. You will also want to add your website in your profile as well as any place you are able to type in a description of the particular video.”

I am using Quicktime Pro to edit & while I can get text into the end of the video using a nicely formatted image, I can’t get it to display for more than a split second. You know of any resources that can solve this conundrum?

Thanks!

@Karl–I love your videos. It’s so nice to have that variety on a blog you like. Reading’s great but I like when people mix it up a little. People learn and absorb in different ways.

I still need work on my um’s, especially on live calls. It’s a hard habit to break for sure.

@J.D.–LOL well I’ll take that as a compliment. No intense mental exertion needed here–I like to keep things straightforward and in bite-size pieces.

I always like your practical steps. I like to see the simple side. At work, I tend to have to focus on the more complex side, so it’s refreshing.

I love doing video on my blog. It’s more interactive and challenging in a different way. I’ve worked on reducing my “ahhs” and “ums.” I must say I’ve gotten a lot better.

I use YouTube and I love it. It’s easy and customizable. I hope they can make money off of it soon.
