Thanks David – I tried Applejack but no joy – still crashing. I’m thinking that we’re just asking too much. I chatted to a chap last night who had exactly the same symptoms after going to 10.4 from 10.3.9, which was rock solid on his mirror door G4. He tried everything – re-installs, rebuilds, in the end he bit the bullet and bought a Quad G5. A bit drastic I grant you, but he’s had no problems since….

I’ll try that, though we’re under the kosh a little with time… but i can see where you’re thinking from…

Just noticed that Safari is crashing out too, so i wonder if the machine is at fault rather than the software.

Ho hum, takes me back to the good old days of Avid (the one with the custom chassis – cut once, save once, cut once, save once…)

Walter,

Thanks for your prompt response – it’s currently running 5.1 with QT7.04. Would you recommend upgrading?

Cheers,

Irene,

I think that this may help:

Change the opacity of the first clip
Apple-C that clip to copy it
Lasso all the other clips to select them
Alt-V to bring up the Paste Attributes menu
Select Opacity (and any other attribute you wish to paste – you could use this to paste basic motion data enabling you to move multiple layers a la photoshop)
Paste – et voila!

All this can be done via menus as well as short cuts.

HTH,

Jason
