Prevent Quicktime from Auto Converting

[hundleyjared]

Hey all, I can't figure this out:

I export a video file (quicktime, m4v, h.264) and my Mavericks OSX opens the file and/or auto converts it with whatever program that is setup. This could be quicktime to iTunes. This has to be an Anime Studio thing. I know you can prevent Safari from auto opening and therefore converting a Quicktime file for example, so this must be a program level thing, not an OSX thing... right?

I've read a ton on the Quicktime stuff OSX is doing under the hood, but I just want to stop the auto convert and keep the file I'm pumping out from AS.

Thanks for any guidance!!

It's not converting anything. It's just changing a preference which tells the system to open a file with a certain program when double clicked. Right-click the file and tell the system to open QT with QT always.

Thanks for your reply to my question. I'm still stumped however.

I'd like OSX to do nothing when my file is done exporting from Anime Studio. No auto conversion, no opening in any program whatsoever. Any ideas out there?

AS prompts the operating system to open the video file after rendering, it's the same on Mac and Windows. If there's no AS preference setting to change that, you can't.
