Exporting Files Using Presets
QuickTime Player offers numerous settings and options for compressing video and audio during export. To help simplify the process of compressing and exporting, QuickTime Player also offers export presets. Different presets are available for each file format.
To export a movie using presets:
- In QuickTime Player, open the movie you wish to export.
- Choose File > Export.
- Choose a file format from the Export pop-up menu.
- Choose the preset that best meets your needs from the Use pop-up menu.
For example, to export a movie for use with a video-capable iPod, choose "Movie to iPod." To export a movie that is optimized for Apple TV, choose "Movie to Apple TV." You can also create movies for iPhone by choosing one of the "Movie to iPhone" options.
- Choose a filename and location, and click Save.
Note: To use the same settings you used during the last export, choose Most Recent Settings from the Use pop-up menu.
