HREF tracks
You can use an HREF track to embed URLs on an additional text track in a QuickTime movie. A web browser jumps
to a URL destination on the web—either automatically or when a viewer clicks the movie display area.
You can also use an HREF track in a web page with HTML frames, where the movie plays back in one frame and a
second frame displays the alternative URL destinations during movie playback. Using frames allows the movie to
play back continuously while the content of the second frame is being swapped. You can use only one HREF track
per movie.
To add an HREF track
1
Drag an HREF Track icon from the QuickTime set of the objects toolbox to the track list area of the Timeline
Editor.
2
Select the HREF sample in the track content area of the Timeline Editor, and then specify a URL in the Link box
of the URL Sample Inspector.
3 From the Target menu, choose a frame in the URL destination or enter a frame name.
4
Do one of the following:
• To jump automatically to the specified URL as the movie plays, select the Autoload option.
•
To require the viewer to click the QuickTime movie to jump to the specified URL, deselect the Autoload option.
Note:
You can’t change the HREF default name because QuickTime recognizes an HREF track by the name
“HREFTrack.”
To show and hide the HREF track
❖ Click the Eye icon .
By default, the HREF track is hidden to prevent the URL from appearing in the movie. If you want to display the
URL, show the HREF track.
Filter tracks
Filter tracks
You can use filters in a movie to create special effects, such as changing the color of a video track or blending two
video tracks together. You can also use filters to create transition effects between tracks, such as having one video
image cross fade over another video image. You can also specify exactly when filters start and end.
A filter track stores the characteristics of a filter and its target video. There are four different filter tracks you can add
to a movie:
Generic filter tracks
Generate a cloud, fire, or ripple effect.
One-source filter tracks Are applied to one video track only and change the visual presentation of the source track.
Two-source filter tracks, or transitions Fade out one track and fade in another. This filter is applied to two video
source tracks. Some examples of transition effects you can select are cross fade, explode, implode, and gradient wipe.
Three source filter tracks Use a track’s luminosity to control how two other source tracks blend over each other.
This type of filter track is useful when you want to do real-time animated masking.
