Description

QTKit is central to manipulating audio and videos in your applications, whether it be simply loading and playback or more advanced behaviour such as editing and recording. This course provides a comprehensive overview to QTKit and will teach you the best practices for loading media files, how to display, edit and export them and how to capture audio and video from external sources.

So let us take you on an exhilarating ride into an unknown land, a land of moving pictures and spoken word, a land where you decide whether time stands still and where you have the power to reorganise the natural order of things.

Since graduating in 1994 Simon has been developing software for a living, working for a handful of companies that have spanned a diverse range of industries and sizes. By the end of 2009 he wanted a fresh challenge but since he essentially loved what he was doing the obvious solution was to alter how he did it. Hence he quit his salaried job and created Otter Software.
