Customers of BBC Motion Gallery, the archive clip sales arm of BBC Worldwide, will now have access to high-quality, high-resolution online preview clips with the adoption of QuickTime 7. Offering users seamless digital production workflow, BBC Motion Gallery preview clips take advantage of the ultra-efficient H.264 video codec in QuickTime 7. H.264 delivers stunning video quality at low data rates, offering crisp, clear video in much smaller files
. BBC Motion Gallery previews in QuickTime 7 will also contain a rich body of metadata, searchable via the Spotlight feature in Apple's Mac OS X version 10.4 Tiger operating system.
QuickTime 7 makes the future of video crystal clear with features including user-friendly controls and pristine H.264 video. The ultra-efficient H.264 video codec has been chosen as the industry standard codec for 3GPP (mobile multimedia), HD-DVD and Blu-ray, which represent the future of next-generation, high-definition DVD playback. The H.264 video codec allows extra large previews with superb clarity and flow, which can greatly enhance the creative decision-making process. The clips work beautifully with Final Cut Pro and other digital editing systems.
