Using Quicktime

ver 4.0

Watching video clips on your computer requires a 3-step process. You must Download, Install, then Run a video clip viewer called Quicktime. See the installing instructions first. 

When you start QuickTime, it is loaded first and a screen pops up with the Quicktime logo. Since you have already downloaded the current version, click on the Later button.

Usually, Quicktime movies are set up to begin playing automatically and some of the controls shown below are not displayed. This is true of the movies included in the Botany module.

At other times, you will see the controls shown below and use the large button in the center under the movie screen area to begin playing the movie. There may be a delay while the interconnection with the online files create a buffer file.

The rest of the controls are the same as those used on most music and video playback equipment such as video tape recorders and CD players.


See QuickTime installation instructions for details on downloading and installing Quicktime.
