Specifying Font Styles for Text Tracks

You can change the font attributes of a text track already in a movie. To do so, you export the track, make changes, then reimport the track.

To change font styles for the text track:

  1. In QuickTime Player, choose File > Export.
  2. Choose "Text to Text" from the Export pop-up menu.
  3. Click Options and select "Show Text, Descriptors, and Time."
  4. Use a text editor to alter the values after the {QTtext} tag.
  5. Import the text track back into your movie.

You can also insert tags throughout the text to change values while the movie plays.
