In QuickTime, the blank space that represents the intervening time between the beginning of a movie and the beginning of a track’s data. In an audio track, the blank space translates to silence; in a video track, the blank space generates no visual image. All of the tracks in a movie use the movie’s time coordinate system.

Each track begins at the beginning of the movie, but the track’s data might not begin until some time value other than 0.
