I couldn’t agree more with you Dave, clearly AE is the standard which is why I’m trying to get familiar with it. I just can’t put the money out now that is necessary to transport the sequence over. Hopefully by the time I feel comfortable with AE they will have worked out the issues with CS5 and FCP. I thought I read somewhere that theirs still some minor problems with it.
I tried the popcorn link provided as well and I got it to work once, then when I tried it again a few times over and the same files I once opened were grayed out for some reason.
Well thanks everyone for your help, I appreciate you taking the time to help especially on a holiday weekend.
Happy 4th of July everyone!
