Setting options on the Type menu for movie tracks

For information on setting the basic movie track properties, see Setting the basic track and sample properties. Movie tracks don't allow you to choose any options on the Mode menu in the Basic tab of the Movie Track Inspector. However, in addition to the other common track properties in the Basic tab, you can use the Type menu to set the following options to determine 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: QuickTime version 5.0.2 does not support the Scroll Movie feature. (See the Apple QuickTime Web site for 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 doesn't maintain the aspect ratio of the file. As a result, the movie might 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.
