User Guide
You add a movie track to your movie by dragging a Movie Track icon from the QuickTime set of the objects
toolbox to the track list area of the Timeline Editor. After you add the movie track, specify the URL for the embedded
file in the URL tab of the Movie Track Inspector. You can then set additional options in the Movie Track Inspector.

Type menu options for movie tracks
Use the Type menu options in the Basic tab of the Movie Track Inspector to specify how the embedded file is
displayed within the root movie:
None Displays the embedded file (without any changes) over the tracks below it.
Scroll Movie Scrolls the embedded file if the file’s contents exceed the dimensions of its movie track.
Note: QuickTime6does notsupport theScrollMovie feature. (See theAppleQuickTime websitefor more information.)
Until QuickTime supports the Scroll Movie feature, a movie track in a QuickTime movie won’t have scroll bars, and the
Scroll Movie option results in the same behavior as the Clip Movie option.
Clip Movie Does not display any areas of the embedded file that exceed the dimensions of the movie track.
Fill Movie Reduces or enlarges the embedded file to fill the dimensions of the movie track, but does not maintain
the aspect ratio of the file. As a result, the movie may appear stretched. GoLive scales the embedded file to completely
fill the track boundaries without changing the track dimensions.
Meet Movie Reduces or enlarges the embedded file to be entirely visible in the movie track while maintaining the
aspect ratio of the file.
Slice Movie Reduces or enlarges the embedded file’s dimensions proportionally so that the smaller dimension is
completely visible. As a result, the larger dimension may be clipped.

obtain attributes of the movie, including dimensions and duration.

to a server. This setting applies only when you are working in GoLive, not when viewing the movie in a browser.
