Note: QuickTime must be installed in order to read this format. It is highly suggested that you use only the latest version (1.6 or higher).
• Terms necessary for the understanding of QuickTime:
- A time coordinate system contains a time scale marked in time units. The number of units that pass per second quantifies the scale [the units/sec value]; that is a time scale of 26 means that 26 units pass per second and each time unit is 1/26 of a second. A time coordinate system also contains a duration, which is the length of the movie or media in numbers of time units it contains. Particular points in a movie can be identified by a time value, the number of time units to that point [the unit #].
IMPORTANT NOTE: when specifying which unit to display, be aware that the numbers are ONE based; that is, the first unit in the movie is referred to as unit # 1.
