The EQT External extends the QuickTime features available to Revolution. The external adds support for a variety of QuickTime features such exporting, editing, movie download status, as wired actions and intermovie communication.

Special thanks to Tim Monroe of Apple Computer who wrote an article in MacTech about writing a QuickTime external (September, October and December 2003) and gave pointers on getting started, Steve Israelson for his help and examples with using the QuickTime API to access tracks, events and wired sprites, Tuviah Snyder for modifying the code to run on Windows and providing Revolution helper functions, and Alex Curylo for the OS 9 version.
