But would it be possible to do it without Optical Flares? I’ve played around with it but don’t have it, and although it’s not unreasonably priced I don’t really want to spend £100 on a whim!

Thanks for your help guys! I actually kept fiddling after posting this, and remembered that you can turn off “use clip settings” when capturing, so I used that to pull in all the clip data and then went through pressing ‘f’ and then ‘f10’.

Thanks, I’ve put this on hold for now, but will have another look when I get back to it. Thank you for taking the time to help Dan, I’ve found your website incredibly useful so many times by the way!

I didn’t think G5s could run Leopard or Studio 2? I’m not even sure where we’d be able to but Leopard, it seems to be Snow Leopard or nothing…

Okay, that’s cool, thanks! I like it when an answer is what I want to hear!

Huh, yes, that looks like the kind of thing. Even a way of marking the audio track so I have something accurate would help, but looks like the idea of having a totally generated video isn’t going to happen today…

The fix is don’t use a machine with drum hours approaching 8,000…

Ooops!

Genius! Thank you :o)

[Michael Lansdell]

You’re amazing! Thank you! I don’t entirely understand the expression, but I think I’ll be able to work backwards from it to get there. I think part of the problem was that I was using a 16:9 comp with Pal anamorphic dimensions, meaning that even when I could things linked they were offset quite a bit. But that aside, I was miles away from doing this. Hopefully I’ll be able to make something fun using this.

Many thanks!
