State-of-the-art Mac Video Capabilities Discussed in Hayden's New Cool Mac
Series of Books

(Carmel, IN) -- Using a computer to generate, store, and display video,
animation, sounds, and still images is quickly becoming reality. Hayden's
latest books, Cool Mac Animation and Cool Mac QuickTime, explain these
state-of-the-art concepts and provide actual software so users can develop
their own movies and animation.

Cool Mac Animation

Computer-enhanced animation is taking the entertainment industry by storm.
"Desktop animation" is a reality with Cool Mac Animation. This book/disk
set is a handy introduction to what is certain to become a topic of great
interest in the Macintosh community. Professional animators and amateurs
alike will find the book useful, informative, and fun.

Written in a light, "with-it" style, Cool Mac Animation introduces desktop
animation, video and multimedia on the Macintosh. The book comes with a
disk filled with all sorts of fun software with samples of Mac animations
and movies, ready-drawn artwork to use when creating custom animations,
and several programs that let users view sample files on their computer.

Cool Mac Animation discusses all aspects of computer animation, including
an overview of the art of animation, Apple's QuickTime, introductions to
popular related software, and tips on how to avoid or solve problems.

Cool Mac QuickTime

What is QuickTime? QuickTime is a new software from Apple Computers that
provides a method for all computers, even non-Macs, to store and display
video, animation, sounds, and still images. It helps computers convert
analog information into the digital information that computers understand,
and it compresses digital presentations into computer storage media. This
complicated process is similar to the technology used by telephone
companies, who have been converting voices to digital information for
years.

Cool Mac QuickTime is a book/disk set that uses plain English to answer
many of the questions that arise as QuickTime users work with the program.
It covers important concepts such as QuickTime technology, enhancement
programs, analog and digital information, QuickTime applications, and what
is needed to get started with QuickTime.

Included with the book is a free disk with files that enable QuickTime to
run on a Macintosh. The QuickTime file on disk adds digital video support
to the Mac, and two demonstration files provide excellent practice for
users.
