Amazon.co.uk Review
Quicktime Pro for Macintosh and Windows can help you handle any multimedia viewing or authoring jobs. It will help you create multimedia projects, edit digital video and animation, or simply assist you with downloading movie trailers off the Web.
This small book reveals the true depth of Quicktime, from the differences between the Standard and Pro versions to how to use other media, such as Macromedia Flash movies, as layers in a Quicktime movie.
Some of the best chapters describe how to add features to your Quicktime movies, like adding searchable text tracks or music and MIDI tracks or creating Quicktime movies for Internet streaming delivery.
Like other books in the Visual Quickstart series, this accessible little reference volume is easy to read and filled with tips and tricks forjust about anyone using Quicktime--passive viewers and content creators alike.
The book is without a CD, though, and that's one of the ways the publisher keeps the cost down. However, an extra CD-ROM with Quicktime movies that demonstrate some of the examples in the book would be more than worth the extra few pounds.
Even without a CD, though, this is a recommended book. There is plenty of information here for many users of this pervasive technology. --Mike Caputo, amazon.com
