An Overview of QuickTime for Java

QuickTime for Java enables Java and QuickTime programmers to have direct access to QuickTime's multimedia capabilities.

• At its simplest level, QuickTime for Java lets you write a Java applet and run that applet on a variety of platforms. Java can be used in an applet, for example, to make Web pages more interactive so that users will be able to interact with those pages in ways they haven't before.
• At an advanced level, you can write applications that composite images, capture music and audio, create special effects, and use sprites for animation.
