Hi Robert.
The pointers on frame rate etc. are much appreciated.
I know your question was directed at David but.....
The original issue: some listers couldn't play my Vanagon video. True,
people can download the latest QT player for free. (assuming their OS
is up to it) But.....
I used iMovie HD, but couldn't find a way to export/save clip as
anything less than QT 7. Min. OS req. for QT 7: Mac 10.3.9 and Windows
2000/XP (I think). Some listers OS's may not meet that req.
In future, I may post Vanagon videos in an older QT format (QT Pro 3
?) so that people with older OS's/QT software could play them. I don't
need fancy software. Just need to trim clips, maybe add mono audio
track, and a title for intro/extro.
And 23 layers of digital effects! (haha kidding)
I know you are a Mac consultant for a living, but I'd appreciate
direction in regards to using older software to post vid clips.
Thanks,
Neil.
