Some closure on QTPro7: I bought the key, registered, set it up and it is busily exporting my Betty Boop stills as I write. It's actually done two of four cartoons already, so the whole process has worked. Of course, now I have 12000 stills per cartoon to comb through somehow for my hula images.... Plus the 3 other 10,000-12,000 still piles I'll be combing to see if I can build a virtual Betty. QT's is the most intuitive setup on the planet, and it comes up with some brain-dead error messages. (I am "missing a required file, OK!!!?" to run my BB cartoons on machine #2, but the movie runs just fine after I "agree.") The Help file is strictly web-access, so my sensibly isolated main machine is help-less. But once I figured out that it was installed, and it was working, and the menu item I needed was File/Export, things went smoothly. And yes, for $29.00, it's a great tool. I dunno how to explain the screed of angry folks over at the Apple site. Maybe OperaGuy and I just got lucky. Which is Ok with me, but a bit of a warning. M
