Any plugin for editing Quicktime annotaion?

Post by hiddencode » Sat May 10, 2008 12:13 am

Hi,

Does anyone know any plugin which can be used to edit Quicktime annotations? The one and only I found was "Enhanced Quicktime External". Unfortunately, it's outdated. It can only read some annotations but can't edit them at all.

I'm using RunRev 2.9 with QT 7.4.5, OS 10.5.2 running on a Mac Pro.


Thanks and best regards.

Please ignore my previous message cause the problem was probably a bug of QuickTime. I've tried four annotaion editing softwares but none of them worked successfully. I've also checked some Applescript forums and found out even Applscript can't change the annotations no matter on Leopard or Tiger.

So I gave up. ~_~

I don't think it is a bug in QuickTime. The way QuickTime handles metadata changed in 7 (I think). There is a different API for setting some annotations now. The EnhancedQT external doesn't tap into the new API yet and I imagine the annotation tools you tried don't either.
