ABSTRACT:

Whether working with a Windows or Macintosh computer, most think of the QuickTime Player as a way to view digital movies. It is much more than that. With the professional upgrade of the QuickTime Player (US$30), you suddenly have quite a powerful editing and authoring tool for digital media. You can edit your digital videos. You can add and manipulate multiple tracks of digital data (video, audio, MIDI, text, graphic,Flash, 3-D, Sprites) and bundle them all into a single QuickTime movie.This workshop will demonstrate the editing and authoring functions of the QuickTime Pro Player. We will illustrate the manipulation of various data tracks, while showing how the QuickTime Player can fix movies, even after they have been compressed for CD-ROM or World Wide Web distribution. We will also demonstrate how Cleaner Pro 5.0 from Terran Interactive, once used only to compress movies, now allows you to add media tracks to your QuickTime movies in a fast and straightforward manner.

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION: Don't want a full non-linear video editing software package for your digital media? What you really need is a "finishing" tool to clean up your digital movies and compress them for CD-ROM or World Wide Web distribution. Perhaps you would like to add captions to your digital movie. The QuickTime Pro Player may be an inexpensive and efficient authoring tool that fills your needs.
