Aim: This course will teach the elements of programming multimedia productions. This will include an overview of the tools
available for multimedia authoring and criteria for choosing the right tool for various types of productions. The lectures will cover the concepts behind multimedia authoring tools and multimedia programming frameworks. The projects will require a fair amount of
programming.
Contents: The course will first take a look at the existing authoring programs such as Macromedia's Flash and Director in order to become familiar with the elements of multimedia productions and general purpose authoring tools. We will then take a deeper look at a complete Java
programming framework for multimedia, using QuickTime for Java. This is a cross-platform (MS Win95/NT and Macintosh) development environment. This will also give useful programming experience in the MPEG-4 file format, since it is closely based on the QuickTime file format.
