The Apple QuickTime Starter Kit is the easiest way for you to begin working with sound, video, and animation on your Macintosh personal computer. With the QuickTime Starter Kit and the latest version of your favorite software applications, you can cut, copy, and paste QuickTime movies--everything from video footage and animation to sound--as well as still images into your letters, reports, spreadsheets, presentations, and other projects. And you can do all this as easily as you work with text and graphics today.
The QuickTime Starter Kit includes a set of four easy-to-use utilities that allow you to play your own QuickTime movies, compress still images to a fraction of their original size, convert existing content to movies and--with the addition of a video digitizer card--capture video sequences as movies.
You’ll especially appreciate QuickTime’s efficient handling of high-quality graphics and scanned-in photographs. Its built-in compression/decompression capability saves valuable disk space by reducing image files to as little as five percent of their original size without noticeable loss of resolution.
The QuickTime Starter Kit also comes with a QuickClips CD-ROM disc that contains a wide selection of clip video, animation, and still images suitable for business or classroom presentations. You can copy and paste this clip content into QuickTime-capable applications the same way you would traditional clip art. All material on the disk--which includes a catalog of hundreds of products that support QuickTime--is indexed for easy browsing.
