Inserting QuickTime movies and multimedia into fields
You can add a QuickTime or QuickTime VR movie to a record by inserting it into a container field. You can also insert other multimedia file formats supported by QuickTime, such as sound files and MPEG video files. For a list of supported movie and sound formats, see Using data in container fields.
To insert a movie or other file format supported by QuickTime:
1.
In Browse mode, click a container field.
2.
Choose Insert menu > QuickTime.
If this menu item is dimmed, either you do not have Apple QuickTime software installed on your computer (Windows), or the field is an interactive container. See Working with content in interactive containers.
3.
In the dialog box, select the movie or sound file (change folders, if needed).
Mac OS: Select Show Preview to show a frame of the movie in the dialog box.
4.
Click Open.
Notes
 •
You can also drag the file from Windows Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS) into the container field.
 •
FileMaker Pro doesn't import the file; it only stores a reference to the file and keeps track of where it is on your hard disk.
