The clip is dark, sure. When you have the clip on a timeline in Microsoft Moviemaker, what does it look like then? If the clip is fine on the timeline, then somehow it was darkened either during the conversion to mono, or during the encoding as a 'movie' to your desktop. What did you convert it to on the desktop (I am assuming .wmv) and are there any options to convert the file from the timeline to any other type of file? Try the same process again, this time don't apply the mono conversion - just pop the movie through onto the web in colour and with no mods of any kind. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
