What is Popcorn?

Popcorn is an application which will allow you to view and edit movies compatible with the QuickTimeª Movie Toolbox.    It is compatible with both System 6 and System 7 provided that the QuickTime extension is installed, however Popcorn can run in a "browse" mode when it is unable to play movies.            

Popcorn will allow you to open, play & edit multiple movies all at the same time using the standard Movie Controller.   In addition to being able to play a movie forwards or backwards and control its volume, you can repeat a movie (loop) indefinitely or even attempt a palindrome (forward then backwards).  You may also choose to resize a movie to see it at a larger or smaller scale.

Movie editing is possible using the Movie Controller and the Edit menu.  You are able to cut and copy frames from one movie, paste them into another and finally save the changes to create your own movies - and should you make a mistake, there's always undo!   Popcorn is also compatible with Wild Magic (Apple Computer, Inc.'s extension for playing QuickTime movies in PICT-supporting applications), so that you can paste your edits into documents in other applications and play them there.

When running under System 7, Popcorn is able to take advantage of the new features of that operating system.  In addition to being able to "Drag & Drop" movies onto Popcorn, it supports the required Apple events and offers Balloon Helpª for all of its menus & dialogs.
