To change a track’s layering order, choose the track from the left pop-up menu, choose

Layering from the right pop-up menu, and specify a different layer number by clicking

the up or down arrow. Layers with lower numbers are farther forward.

Editing QuickTime Movies

If you have QuickTime Pro, you can use QuickTime Player for basic movie editing.

Selecting Part of a Movie

Before you copy or delete part of a movie, you need to select the desired portion.

To select a portion of a movie, move the In and Out selection markers. The darkened

area between the two markers indicates the selected portion. To fine-tune the

selection, select a marker and move it with the arrow keys.

To see the length of a selection, choose Movie > Get Movie Properties and then choose

Time from the right pop-up menu.

To play just the selection, choose Movie > Play Selection Only, then click Play.

Cutting, Copying, or Deleting a Section of a Movie

Selecting and moving part of a movie is easy in QuickTime Pro.

To cut, copy, or delete part of a movie:

1 Select the part of the movie you want to modify (use the In and Out selection markers

and the arrow keys).

2 Choose Edit > Copy, Cut, or Delete.

If you choose Copy or Cut, you can paste the selection elsewhere.

3 Click where you want to paste the selection and choose Edit > Paste.

QuickTime Pro adds the selection you pasted at the position of the playback head.

Replacing a Section of a Movie

If you have QuickTime Pro, you can select a section of a QuickTime movie and replace it

with a section from another movie.

To replace a section:

1 Copy the section you want to use from another movie.

2 Use the In and Out markers in the new movie to select the section you want to replace.

3 Choose Edit > Replace.
