Simon,

I thought I may have problems with the external drives as well, but so far (3 months) all has been performing very well. Been using the drives to store my captured footage from other sources and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Hope you’re not snowed in up there. I’m in London and we’re expected to get it tonight. Probably find there’ll be less than an inch of snow and the whole city will be in chaos. Thankfully I’m working from home…..

I intend to use the external drives for media storage. Have had no problems with them so far and I’ve been using them with FCP for a good three months now.

Thanks to all who have replied, I’m greatly encouraged.

Should have posted this about a week ago, but….

The overlapping buttons seem to have been the cause of the problem. Don’t understand why, because the buttons overlapped on both menus, yet the problem only occurred with the one.

I guess that’s why you used the phrase ‘unpredictable results’

Thanks for your help, Joe.

For the motion menu,
Menu duration: 01:20:00
Loop point: 16:13 (just after the motion menu has fully resolved)
Loop#: Forever

For the static menu, duration = 0, Hold Forever box ticked, Loop#: Forever

The button highlights do not appear after 1:20:00, as you may think.

I should perhaps also mention that I am running version 1.5

But surely the ad breaks are for trips to the fridge!

Maybe I’ll just install during the dull games… When do the US play? 🙂

Thanks Jeff, will be upgrading this weekend if I can tear myself away from the World Cup.
