How To Add QuickTime Video Effects

This chapter discusses how QuickTime video effects are implemented and how you can add effects to QuickTime movies.

The first step in adding effects to a QuickTime movie is to create an effects track. This is accomplished by using the standard QuickTime API for track creation, as explained in this chapter.

You can also use QuickTime video effects to transition between two graphics worlds. Your application does not have to generate a QuickTime movie to use the video effects.
