Sure, but the problem with that is it only works in Director ;) What I'm trying to do is improve on a clunky production process for making QuickTimes with closed-caption tracks that can be turned on/off by the end user, as part of an accessible package. Those movies may run in Director, but also will exist on their own on the web - so I need it all living in the QT. I've tried several tools for creating text tracks to fit the bill. The best I'd found was GoLive, surprisingly... and that isn't as streamlined as I'd like. So I thought I'd look into making a tool that is customized to a very specific job (as some monkey will be creating a few hundred of these by hand, I'd like to shave as many seconds off the individual creation time as possible). Haven't checked LiveStage yet... it's a bit pricey for this. Thanks to Grimm, Carl, fluxus, and Brennan - that was more info than I was hoping for. -Kurt [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
