A Comprehensive Refrence for Quicktime Media Format

I was one of the people in the role of technical reviewer for Revolutionary Quicktime Pro 5 & 6. I can recommend it as a comprehensive and sophisticated reference for Apples Quicktime format. It describes in depth the tools you use from capture to deployment of your Quicktime media content. It covers QuickTime's integration with a broad range of media types and the expansive methods of deployment for your Quicktime media.

Most importantly it discusses the Quicktime format in relation to the content creators needs including information for the linear filmmaker to the interactive media designer. It is an in-depth resource for any designer looking to author interactive media, QTVR, DVD or Streaming QuickTime. Each chapter also includes some excellent tutorials especially for those interested in pushing QuickTime's level of interactivity. The section on tools is particularly relevant because of the amount of software, which supports QuickTime, and this is a guide to how the developer might choose tools and resources for their particular project.

Words from the Experts!

Wow. After seeing the author list for this book, I had to get a copy. You don't have to spend much time at industry events like Apple's QuickTime Live before you'll run into several of them, lecturing to the assembled. Turns out they're not just nice people who know QuickTime intimately well, they're also great authors!

This book is a solid introduction to the underpinnings of QuickTime and many of the applications empowered by its multimedia abilities. While other books, such as Steven Gulie's QuickTime for the Web or the QuickTime Developers Series might offer more focused explorations of certain complex areas of QuickTime, no book I've found provides as good an overview of the technology - and it's use in the real world - than this book. If you're new to QuickTime and wondering what it can do, this book will be an eye opener. And it'll make you laugh too.

A Must-Have Book For Quicktime Novices & Power-Users

If you have any interest in or need for Quicktime as more than a simple download viewer, then START WITH THIS BOOK! I love the Visual Quickstart Book on Quicktime but this one is even better. It describes the history and powerful significance of the Quicktime development (for Windows as well as Mac), it clearly explains the amazing feature set of the dirt-cheap QuicktimePro upgrade while providing a CD packed with actual illustration material and demo projects. This book is also the Quicktime User's manual that Apple should have written. For no additional charge, you also get a frank and succinct review of virtually every type of related product including the entire Adobe digital video and web suite. Finally, on the CD you get a fully functional demo version of the premiere ($) Quicktime production product LiveStage Pro 3.1 (only the ability to save projects is disabled) along with a $ discount coupon for the full version.

Thorough and fun guide to Quicktime

This is a great book for anyone developing digital content using QuickTime. The writing clearly shows an enthusiasm and dedication to the QuickTime platform that a beginner needs to get through the technical complexity of the product (which is greatly alleviated by third party applications, by the way). Although the publisher clearly skimped on the editorial side, I learned a lot from this book and it inspired me to explore QuickTime in more depth.

QuickTime - far more that just watching movies

Why just watch when you can interact? With the future of interactive media expanding all around us it's good to know that you can realize the projects you have in mind and get them out into the world.

Interactive media makers can learn how to harness the power of QuickTime, web designers can unleash powerful time-based media. Filmmakers can immerse themselves in the digital future.

With the release of the new version six QuickTime is set to move even further ahead of the competition. But of course you can just watch!
