Rich –

Thanks for the detailed info. I had resisted moving this to a PC and using the Windows encoder, thinking it would be faster to stay on my Mac, but, after screwing around for three days with this, I realize that was totally foolish.

I’ll try you suggestions.

Again, thanks for the help. This is exactly what I was after!

Yup! They are very sure of how not to do it!

Though I will commiserate with clients. It’s very confusing. I yearn for the “gimme a VHS” days. Now everyone wants 14 versions of every project in different formats. Then there are the inevitable calls from clients saying , “I can’t play it on my computer…” Yea, I have time for that!

Cheers!

I am doing this because that’s what the client wants. Trust me, this is not
my idea and we have tried to change his mind, but he is a Windoz guy and will
not budge.

sigh…

I can’t wait for solid state!

It is coming. At some point, not too long from now, your thumb drive won’t just have a few files which you’re sneaker netting around the facility, but all your projects and media.

Thanks. I’ll run some tests in the AM and see if that fixes it. Meanwhile, I’ll do
more housekeeping!

Guys –

Thanks. Yea, I don’t use the direct-export-via-compressor much either, but, as it turns out, I couldn’t get a non-dependent QT to encode either. Very weird. Luckily it’s a short one-off project. And I’ll check out those threads on “Operation Not Allowed!” Aren’t error message helpful?!

Hi all –

Thanks for lots of great advice. I am in the process of using the Keynote approach,
as there were a lot of overalls and animations of tiny (too thin!) lines which would
not work if it just imported the PNGs or TIFs…

I agree with the concept that PPTs are dicey; this project should certainly have
been edited just like anything else…but there was no time to go back to that step…

Hope everyone has a great weekend…and that is doesn’t involve cutting anything more
difficult than the grass!

Sorry about the stupid title the first time 🙂

But the query remains; if I include FCP markers in a timeline and export
using Flip4Mac WMV encoder, will those markers be able to be read by someone
using that file on a streaming server? They apparently want to encode the one long timeline, then use these marks to jump around..
