Quick tutorial showing how to combine audio and video in QuickTime 7 on Mac.

Prerequisites

In order for this tutorial to be useful, you will need the following items:

• QuickTime Player 7 on Mac OS X
• An audio track
• A video track

If that sounds like you, and you want to combine or merge the audio track with the video track on order to have a single unified .mov file, then read on and follow the steps.

How to combine audio & video tracks

Here are the steps required to combine audio and video tracks in QuickTime 7:

1. Make a backup copy of the original files (if desired)
2. Open both audio and video files with QT 7
3. Select the entire audio track and copy it to your clipboard
4. Select the video track and place the cursor at the start of the timeline
5. Go Edit > Add to Movie
6. Save the movie via File > Save As.. (choose “self-contained movie” option)

You now have a movie file that includes your original audio and video tracks.

Notes

• Audio and video tracks should be the same length before combining
• If the video already had an audio track, you may want to delete it (visit Window > Show Movie Properties)

Now go forth and combine thy tracks :)
