A software multimedia environment developed by Apple Computer, running on the Mac or under Windows™. QuickTime enables the creation and playback of QuickTime movies featuring full-motion video, MIDI tracks and 16-bit ADPCM audio. However, QuickTime Movies (documents in QuickTime format) do not need to include pictures, and are a good way to distribute audio files. It is possible to import an AIFF, SND, or SoundEdit file into a QuickTime editing program, such as Adobe Premiere, and save the file as a QuickTime Movie, supported by a number of audio applications, including SoundEdit 16, Deck II, Peak, and Audioshop.
