Apple QuickTime 7 - Manual (Page 8)

8 Preface Welcome to QuickTime
 Floating controls. Full-screen mode now provides floating DVD-like controls for easy
access to functions like pause, play, fast-forward, and rewind. Move your mouse and
the full-screen controller appears on the screen for several seconds.
 Create H.264 video. Use this codec for all your video encoding needs. Create content
ranging in size from HD (high definition) to 3G (for mobile devices), and everything
in between.
 Create surround audio. Create a rich multimedia experience for your customers by
adding multi-channel audio to your movie. If some of your customers don’t have
surround speakers, don’t worry; QuickTime automatically mixes the audio to work
with the speaker setup of each user.
 Concurrent exports. Export multiple files at once—and continue with your next
playback or editing task.
 Improved movie authoring. Editing tasks are much easier with new hot keys for in
and out points. In addition, the Movie Properties interface has been completely
redesigned to facilitate simple and efficient movie authoring.
 New AAC constant-quality mode. Create AAC audio files optimized for constant
quality rather than a constant bit rate for a consistently high-quality listening
experience.
 3G streaming. Create 3G files for RTSP streaming that are fully interoperable with
other 3G streaming handsets and delivery architectures.
New for Macintosh
In addition to the those above, QuickTime Pro for Mac OS X provides these capabilities:
 Record audio and video. With a digital video camera connected to your Mac, you
can quickly create video postcards to share with family and friends.
 Share movies. Easily create a movie file for sending via email or posting to a website.
 Automator-compliant. With Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger,” employ the easy-to-use interface
of Automator for streamlining your QuickTime workflow. QuickTime 7 Pro users have
exclusive access to a set of QuickTime-based Automator actions for easily automating
such tasks as starting and stopping captures, hinting movies, enabling tracks, and
more. With Automator and QuickTime 7 Pro you can also create your own set of
personalized QuickTime-based Automator actions.
