From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Single frame + audio in Real 5.0 Mac RV Encoder? OK, Streamers...here's my dilemma. I think I'm missing something very simple here (and I teach digital audio at MacWorld, so this is doubly frustrating) I want to add a simple logo to the Online Today Personal Netcast. Currently, it is RealAudio 5.0 28.8 voice ONLY. This means when the player pops up, the cut gets played in audio mode. I simply want the OLTPN logo to open up when the player plays the audio - without significantly increasing the file size. I figure, I'm missing something really simple: when I've attempted to create a single frame movie in QT for use in encoding, the movie is as huge as a multiple frame movie would be. File size is of primary concern, as the finished product is then sent to users via a mailing list (please don't write and suggest that I simply send out a link - the product's premise is that it is audio that is e-mailed directly to the subscriber) on a daily basis. All I want to do is add a bit of visual branding to what is already award-winning audio production, and there has to be a way to do it that only adds the 10K or so that the GIF or JPEG of the logo would add. If hearing a sample would help you understand the situation, please send e-mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for an autoresponse that includes a sample or visit <http://personalnetcast.com>. So...is there an easy way to create a single frame movie that I can reuse, over and over, that simply displays the OLT logo and plays the new daily audio that I've created? G2 SMIL is not an option (the player isn't stable enough on older Macs nor available on WebTV yet, nor are the SMIL files in one complete file for e-mailing), so 5.0 is where I'm at for the forseeable future. I'm looking for a quick, direct, easy to follow method that I can replicate every night as I create this piece, and if using Premiere or a similar product is the way to go, then I'm willing to do that. I just want a simple and direct approach that will allow me simply drop in the new audio each night and encode the piece. Thoughts? David
