Summary

QuickTime is Apple's platform-independent collection of files, applications, and plug-ins for playing or interacting with a wide range of multimedia formats, including live video, MP3 music files, and interactive 3D environments. Since the QuickTime plug-in is built into all major Web browsers, users can easily download movie trailers, streaming news broadcasts, and music videos for home viewing. QuickTime allows media to be viewed, edited, and manipulated in whatever way an artist, teacher, video professional, or hobbyist sees fit. With QuickTime 5 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide, readers will learn a variety of QuickTime technologies, including creating slide-show presentations, editing movies, creating music soundtracks, and uploading videos for streaming over the Web. The task-based, visual layout takes an easy approach to teaching QuickTime, using pictures to guide readers through the software. Beginners learn just what they need to know to get started, while more seasoned professionals can use the handy visual tabs to quickly look up the new features and tools of version 5.
