User Guide
You add a movie track to your movie by dragging a Movie Track icon from the QuickTime set of the objects
toolbox to the track list area of the Timeline Editor. After you add the movie track, specify the URL for the embedded
file in the URL tab of the Movie Track Inspector. You can then set additional options in the Movie Track Inspector.

Type menu options for movie tracks
Use the Type menu options in the Basic tab of the Movie Track Inspector to specify how the embedded file is
displayed within the root movie:
Displays the embedded file (without any changes) over the tracks below it.
None
Scrolls the embedded file if the file's contents exceed the dimensions of its movie track.
Scroll Movie
Note: QuickTime 6 does not support the Scroll Movie feature. (See the Apple QuickTime website 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.
Does not display any areas of the embedded file that exceed the dimensions of the movie track.
Clip Movie
Reduces or enlarges the embedded file to fill the dimensions of the movie track, but does not maintain
Fill Movie
the aspect ratio of the file. As a result, the movie may appear stretched. GoLive scales the embedded file to completely
fill the track boundaries without changing the track dimensions.
Reduces or enlarges the embedded file to be entirely visible in the movie track while maintaining the
Meet Movie
aspect ratio of the file.
Reduces or enlarges the embedded file's dimensions proportionally so that the smaller dimension is
Slice Movie
completely visible. As a result, the larger dimension may be clipped.
URL options for movie tracks
In the URL tab of the Movie Track Inspector, you can select the following options:
Link Specifies the URL of the embedded file.
Resizes the movie track to the dimensions of the embedded file. If this option is deselected, GoLive
Resize Track Box
scales the embedded file to the dimensions of the movie track that you set in the Basic tab of the Movie Track
Inspector.
Click the Get Movie Properties button to make GoLive use the movie track's URL to
Get Movie Properties
obtain attributes of the movie, including dimensions and duration.

to a server. This setting applies only when you are working in GoLive, not when viewing the movie in a browser.
