Well, not sure if this applies in any sense whatsoever, it uses the
Theora codec: www.getdemocracy.com/ but it does show how others are
approaching the field.
Theora can also be played through VideoLAN: www.videolan.org
Might make the case for an External to manage playback via VideoLAN
and bundle it into a Rev app. I haven't seen the API, but being Open
Source I'd imagine it'd be fairly, well...open...!
Would that classify as a starting point for a Multimedia Authoring app?
Cheers,
Luis.

No, not according to the documentation. For any movie

need the freely distributable player. For static QuickTime, you
don't.
Sure, if you can influence anybody over there to fix the drop
shadow default
and allow an interactive web demonstration of a MovieWorks movie,
I'm all
for that.
Really, there is an open source opportunity for the kind of project
authoring I'm needing. But, if it takes years to complete, I'm not
waiting.
If someone put together a program of MovieWorks elegance and
simplicity and
functionality which allowed the addition of "while you watch"
narration,
(during the authoring process), totally customizable titling, (as you
watch), with customizable drop shadows, basic "in-movie" navigation
as well
as "extra-movie" navigation and linking, all for the low, low price
of . . .
nothing . . . I think they'd have something there. What they would
gain by
releasing it freely, I have no idea. But, even if they released it
for the
low, low price of . . . $129 . . . or thereabouts . . . they'd
still have
something there.

Sounds like a real opportunity for an Open Source project to compete,
doesn't it?
Hmmmmmmmm
Presumably you've talked to the MW guys about your drop-shadow
problem? The
guy who founded the company and who, last I checked, was CEO, is
someone I
know reasonably well. I can probably get his attention if that
would help.
(I'm not sure you're right about the need to include the player, by
the way.
I think you can export your titles to MP4, e.g., and then they'll
play in
any QT/Real or presumably other MP4 player, no?
