In fact, it’s the generic AC3 file that we added from the separate file.
This is a good way to combine two video clips into one QuickTime file, where one appears immediately after the other.Ĭlick the Rewind button to place the playhead at the beginning of the movie and save the file using File > Save.Īgain, checking Window > Show Movie Properties, we can see that the audio file is now included in the QuickTime package. NOTE: If you select Edit > Add to Movie, the audio file is pasted at the end of the video file. Notice that the mini-Timeline is dark, indicating where the new audio is now located. The entire selected audio clip is pasted into the video clip beginning at the position of the playhead (or In). Then, choose Edit > Add to Selection and Scale. Select the video file and make sure the playhead is positioned at the beginning. NOTE: You can copy just a range of the audio by setting an In and Out (the small triangles in the mini-Timeline.)

NOTE: QuickTime Pro can also enable and disable a variety of elements in any QuickTime movie. However, we can use a combination of both Compressor and QuickTime 7 Pro to create a single QuickTime movie containing both files. NOTE: Generic AC3 files can be created using any version of Compressor starting with version 3.5 or later. Choose Common Audio Formats, when creating a custom setting. However, we CAN use Compressor to create a stand-alone Generic AC3 file.
While Compressor can create QuickTime movies with 5.1 surround sound, the custom QuickTime settings inside Compressor only support AAC, not AC3. You can download it from Apple’s website here: Upgrading to the Pro version costs $29. NOTE: In order to merge these files, you need to either have, or install, the Pro version of QuickTime Player 7, because this won’t work with QuickTime X.
