Low-Level Movie-Editing Functions
The Movie Toolbox provides a number of functions that allow your application to perform low-level editing operations on movies. These functions work with movie segments--pieces of a movie that are defined by a starting time and duration--and therefore give you a great deal of control over the editing process. These functions never copy the movie data; rather, they work with references to the movie's data. "Editing Movies," which begins on page 2-227, discusses the Movie Toolbox functions that allow you to edit movies by working with the current selection.You can use the
