I had a similiar problem with Motion 4 and solved it by switching to a Standard keyboard, At least I think that’s what did it – all the default shortcuts started working again.

I’ve used the outline text feature in FCP which looks fine but wouldn’t advise it for big slabs of text, the controls text window only allows you to see a few lines at a time.

Unless the drive is really cooked you should be ok. It often happens with my cheaper drives, I usually just open Disk Utility, the drive icon may be there but not highlighted (if they’re not there highlight on the main drive) you then just click repair permissions, I’ve trashed my FCP permissions which worked but you should be aware you’ll need to redo your personal preferences and I think you loose any favourite you may have saved.

That’s great Will, thanks, a clear explanation is hard to come by.

Michael Glissing mentioned h.264 and mpeg 4 are the same.

Also I saw it recommended that h.264 300 kps is a good codec to send a sample file. Can someone explain the difference between that and just straight h.264?
