You can add sound or video sequences to it, apply Video Effects to it, delete parts of it... The MOVIE is displayed, controlled and modified from the MOVIE Panel. Any QuickTime movie can be opened in the MOVIE Panel, using the Open MOVIE... command in the File Menu, or the "eject" button on the MOVIE Panel . You can also create an empty MOVIE with the New MOVIE... command in the File Menu. | |
