QuickTime 4 Reference

The Standard Effect Framework

Much of the code required to implement an effect component is the same for all components. Apple has provided a framework of code that you can adapt to create your own effect components. In most cases, you only have to change limited portions of the framework code to create your new component.

For more detailed information on writing components, see Chapter 9 of Mac OS For QuickTime Programmers; and Chapter 4, "Image Compressor Components," in this reference.
