Editing QuickTime (section)

==== QuickTime interactive ====
During the development cycle for QuickTime 3.0, part of the engineering team was working on a more advanced version of QuickTime to be known as '''QuickTime interactive''' or QTi. Although similar in concept to the wired movies feature released as part of QuickTime 3.0, QuickTime interactive was much more ambitious. It allowed any QuickTime movie to be a fully interactive and programmable container for media. A special track type was added that contained an interpreter for a custom programming language based on 68000 [[assembly language]]. This supported a comprehensive user interaction model for mouse and keyboard event handling based in part on the AML language from the [[Apple Media Tool]].

The QuickTime interactive movie was to have been the playback format for the next generation of [[HyperCard]] authoring tool. Both the QuickTime interactive and the HyperCard 3.0 projects were canceled in order to concentrate engineering resources on streaming support for QuickTime 4.0, and the projects were never released to the public.
