Enhanced QuickTime External For Revolution Brings New Capabilities to Revolution Salt Lake City, Utah December 16th, 2003 Blue Mango Multimedia, LLC today announced the Enhanced QuickTime External, which extends the QuickTime features available to the Revolution software development system. The external is available for Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and Windows. The Enhanced QuickTime External greatly expands the capabilities available to Revolution developers. In addition to playing movies and responding to callback messages, the external adds support for advanced QuickTime features such as wired actions, editing, movie download status, and intermovie communication. Developers can now create QuickTime-rich Revolution applications that allow creation and editing of QuickTime movies. Editing support includes: * Saving movies * Disabling save * Exporting * Extracting a track from a movie * Deleting tracks * Copy and paste * Add and add scaled HREFTracks can be created, annotations can be modified, and looping information can be retrieved and stored within a movie. Developers can also precisely control audio in QuickTime movies: for example, specifying bass and treble levels, and panning between speakers. The external also greatly enhances the ability of wired QuickTime developers to integrate their wired movies into Revolution applications. Wired QuickTime support includes executing sprite events, getting and setting sprite variables, setting qtlists for a movie as well as individual tracks, and processing the ApplicationNumberAndString message. Revolution applications can also receive messages whenever a new text sample is loaded in a movie. Trevor DeVore of Blue Mango Multimedia said, "We're really excited about this external. QuickTime is a powerful environment, and the external opens up a whole new area of possibilities for Revolution developers who want to integrate QuickTime into their applications. The wired QuickTime support is especially powerful, and makes Revolution an ideal development environment for integrating your wired QT movies with desktop applications. " Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution, said, "This new external will make QuickTime's powerful feature set even more accessible for Revolution applications. Trevor's work will benefit the entire Revolution developer community." The Enhanced QuickTime External is a community project started by Blue Mango Multimedia, and is available for free from their website.
