_m_o_v_i_e_m_a_k_e_r is a multi-track interactive editor for QuickTime format
movies. Help is available on-line through the help menu.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
----nnnnooooffffoooorrrrkkkk
Forces moviemaker to run in the foreground. Moviemaker backgrounds
itself upon startup as the default. This option is provided for
consistency with the rest of the media tools.
KKKKEEEEYYYYBBBBOOOOAAAARRRRDDDD CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDDSSSS
MMMMoooovvvviiiieeeeppppllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr and mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeemmmmaaaakkkkeeeerrrr support left-arrow and right-arrow keyboard
equivalents for "step forward" and "step backward" when viewing a movie
file. These commands are also available in mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeemmmmaaaakkkkeeeerrrr in the transport
control area, and are labeled with standard icons: ||||<<<< and >>>>||||.
EEEEDDDDIIIITTTT SSSSUUUUPPPPPPPPOOOORRRRTTTT
mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeemmmmaaaakkkkeeeerrrr supports editing, both within the opened movie, and with other
applications which support X-Clipboard Cut-Copy-Paste operations
(including movieplayer, imgworks, soundeditor, etc).
When the user makes a selection using the timeline, mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeemmmmaaaakkkkeeeerrrr will
activate the entries on the "Edit" menu for editing, although, on read-
only movies, only "Copy" will be made available. The operations available
are:
CCCCuuuutttt Put the current selection on the Clipboard, and remove it from the
movie.
CCCCooooppppyyyy Put the current selection on the Clipboard, without removing it from
the movie.
CCCClllleeeeaaaarrrr
Replace the current selection with "nothing" - i.e., silence in the
case of an audio track or black frames in the case of an image
track.
DDDDeeeelllleeeetttteeee
Remove the current selection from the movie, without saving it
anywhere.
TTTTrrrriiiimmmm Remove everything eeeexxxxcccceeeepppptttt the current selection from the movie.
mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeemmmmaaaakkkkeeeerrrr also supports Pasting of data into the current movie (assuming
that the current movie is editable - i.e., read-write)

PPPPaaaasssstttteeee
Insert data from the Clipboard into the current movie.
Moviemaker can import a number of X cut-and-paste targets, including
movies, still images, audio, etc. Note that some applications may be slow
in providing clipboard data to moviemaker, in which case moviemaker may
timeout (and give an error message saying that no data was available on
the clipboard). If this is a problem, you can increase moviemaker's
timeout duration by using the X Resource "*cutPasteTimeoutDuration". It
defaults to 30, and is measured in seconds.
IIIIMMMMPPPPOOOORRRRTTTT
Moviemaker can import a large number of file formats, including
Quicktime, SGI, AVI, DV-DIF/DVCPro-DIF files, and MPEG movies, audio
formats supported by the SGI audio file library (see _a_f_I_n_i_t_F_i_l_e_F_o_r_m_a_t),
and image file formats supported by the SGI image library (see
_i_m_g_f_o_r_m_a_t_s).
In order to import a collection of files, such as those from an animation
rendering program, simply select the directory containing the numbered
image files, and the image files will be imported sequentially. (After
having done this, you may wish to use the "Join" command to combine the
multiple still images into a single image track.)
EEEEXXXXPPPPOOOORRRRTTTT AAAASSSS
Moviemaker supports exporting the current movie to one of a number of
popular formats on the web, including QuickTime (tm), MPEG, AVI, etc. To
generate a flattened movie for final distribution/publication, select
``Export As'' from the file menu, choose a file format and file name, and
use the options button to specify details applicable to the file format
you selected. When you begin the conversion, the resulting file will have
at most one image track and one audio track, and will be optimized for
playback and distribution.
EEEEXXXXTTTTEEEERRRRNNNNAAAALLLL CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLL
If Midi is configured on the system, Moviemaker responds to "Stop" "Play"
and "Jog Wheel" controls on certain external midi-based control devices.
Currently, only the JL Cooper Electronics "Media Control Station" is
supported.
