QuickTime 3 Reference

Built-in QuickTime Video Effects

QuickTime includes a set of built-in video effects. There are two classes of effects provided for your use:

The SMTPE effects, which are implementations of the 133 standard effects defined by the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers
A set of effects implemented by Apple Computer, which you can use for a variety of purposes.

This section describes what each effect does. It also defines the effect name and the parameter atoms you need in order to create an effect description atom container to implement the effect. For details on how to insert an effect into your movie or application, see " "Adding Video Effects to a QuickTime Movie" " and " "Using Video Effects Outside a QuickTime Movie" ."
