Leopard Reference Library: QuickTime
Video effects, filters, and transitions are integral to QuickTime. QuickTime includes over 145 effects, and its extensible architecture allows developers to create additional effects and transitions for their videos. Because visual effects are calculated and executed at runtime, they typically result in a much smaller file than a prerendered version of the same effect.
