Manipulate[
 max = NMaximize[f[x, \[CapitalDelta]], x];
 Plot[f[x, \[CapitalDelta]], {x, -1.22, 1.22},
  PlotRange -> {{-0.5, 0.5}, {0, 1.5}},
  Epilog -> {Text[max, Scaled[{0, 1}], {-1, 1}], PointSize[0.025],
    Point[{max[[2, 1, 2]], 0}]}], {\[CapitalDelta], 0.125, 0.5}]

As far as I know Export does not export to Quicktime. Try an .avi
instead and convert with one of the transcoding tools freely available
on the internet.
