QuickTime Support

QuickTime version 2 and lower is directly supported by Video Edit Magic.  Files in this format can be added to the Timeline for editing.  QuickTime files version higher than version 2 must be however converted to AVI format before they can be added to the Timeline.  Media Converter is a companion utility bundled with Video Edit Magic that is capable of converting a QuickTime file to its equivalent AVI file.

The recommended or full installation of QuickTime is required to convert from AVI to QuickTime and to make movies in QuickTime.  QuickTime's online or standalone installer can be obtained from the URL: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.

* WMV HD files are encoded at ultra-high quality settings i.e. 1024 * 720 or 1920 * 1080. Editing such high resolution files is resource intensive hence these files are treated as standard definition WMV files when adding it to Timeline.
