Movie Toolbox

Introduction

The Movie Toolbox allows your application to use the full range of features provided by QuickTime. QuickTime allows you to manipulate time-based data such as video sequences, audio sequences, financial results from an ongoing business operation, laboratory data recorded over time, and so on. QuickTime uses the metaphor of a movie to describe time-based data. Therefore, QuickTime stores time-based data in objects called movies. The Movie Toolbox provides functions that allow you to load, play, create, edit, and store objects that contain time-based data. If you are developing an application that works with time-based data, or if you are developing a component that will be used by movie applications, you should be familiar with the capabilities of the Movie Toolbox.
