OK, I can see it if use the Project Monitor. I'd been using the Clip Monitor. BTW, look at how avidemux shows a crop. It allows you to zoom, and uses green to show the crop. At least for me, a little easier. But now I can't get it (svn 3822) to render. The Render rondel, ctl-enter, all bring up the Rendering dialog. I can choose all sorts of output. I chose ntsc, mpg 8000k, 2 pass. Then nothing. There's a Close button, but that just closes the dialog. Where's the Render Now button? sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
