Park your playhead over the shot you want, then file>export using QuickTime conversion. When the save window comes up select still image in the format pull down menu. The options button will then let you select the still pix format.

You don’t have to worry about the 120 lines/second if you’re not outputting to a NTSC monitor.
The title generator clip length defaults to 2 minutes with the in point set at 00:55:00 so if you delete the
in and out points, you’ll get a 2 minute clip.I did a few tests and got very smooth rolls at almost any speed using the QuickTime animation codec @ 29.97 fps.
I tried .wmv and h.264 codecs @ 29.97 fps and I think that I saw the jumping you were describing.We export a lot of media that makes its way to the web, but I can’t remember the last time I did a roll. If you do
an archive search on the COW, you’ll see this subject beaten to death, because getting a roll in NTSC to be smooth and
also at a word rate that the client wants isn’t as easy as it would seem.You might want to post your problem or search one of the Macromedia forums, since they deal with the web more than video.
Good luck and feel free to call or stop by, we are located in Madison Hts. (696 and dequindre) we can agonize about rolling text over
the phone or a beer.Bob | 248-591-5100

Sorry about that, I assumed that you were outputting to video. If you set your field dominance to none, you should be O.K..
I’ve never turned down a free beer, if you’re ever in the Detroit area, I’ll take ya up on the offer.

If you are rolling your text at 120 lines/second and it’s jumping on your NTSC monitor, it sounds like the field dominance of your timeline is reversed.
Control click your timeline icon in the browser and click settings. Under the general tab check to see that the field dominance is set to lower (even)
I guess I’m assuming that the jumpy roll is being observed on a NTSC monitor and not your computer screen. You can’t accurately judge interlaced motion on a progressive screen.

I did a test with your numbers in Boris 3D title tool and it made a perfect roll, eventhough the end position should be -5116 instead of -5122 (5084 – 10200 = -5116 close enough)
It should work as good with a .png, but you might want to try pasting your text into boris 3D and entering your numbers into the y position.

If your output is NTSC, roll your text at a rate that is an even multiple of 120 lines per second and it will be as smooth as a baby’s backside.

If Jeffs recommendation doesn’t solve your problem, I would highly recommend Disk Warrior, it has revived our machines many times.

You might have it confused with the crossgrade that will allow FCP to run natively on both Intel and PowerPC based Macintosh systems.

Apply the color corrector filter (either one), and open up Limit Effect. Use the eyedropper to select the color you want to cycle, then crank the hue about 180 degrees so you can see a change. If the lighting is uneven, you might have to hold down the shift key while using the eye dropper to select multiple areas of the background.
After you get everything selected, just go to the numeric display and keyframe any parameter that you want to cycle.

H.264 is amazing, but I run into a problem with a couple of our larger clients who won’t allow anyone to update applications on their computers.
Windows Media 9 is a very good choice if you need compatability and good quality.
